London. Ike., tee. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con- Sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities and excesses, Which have produced snore misery in Youth, degradation in Man htiod, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists Its peruse is Particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know, that there are Principles of personal management which cannot be violated without bleurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties * nay be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its con-‘equenc es may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional d erangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in .he treatment of these delicate complaints, which are U nfortunately teen too generally confided to the care of ignorant TuPirics, who inflict great injury on those who are in duced to p lace al% in their pretensions.

The Widgeon, steam-tender at Deptford Dockyard, brought down a large quantity of blankets to Woolwich on Friday, for the use of the Artillerymen embarked in the Sydney steam-vessel for conveyance to the East. The Widoeon remained until yesterday, and after tow ing the Fisgard flag-ship at this port to her former moorings left on her return to Deptford. The Jason screw steam-ship, of 2,500 tons burden, with engines of 300-horse power, returned to Woolwich yesterday from Greenhithe, having gone there to have her coinpas,es adjusted previous to embarking 250 horses and the whole of Captain i Woodhouse's field battery, with a division of Captain Turner's field battery, for ser viae in the East. The horses and troops commenced embarking in the afternoon. A number of the gunners and drivers of the Royal Artillery commenced at the early hour of five a.m. yes terday putting on board the Sydney steamer a number of siege guns, with their heavy carriages. When they are all on board, Captain DAguiiar's field-battery of men and horses will embark in her for Turkey. Captain Gambier's Company, 11th Battalion, marched from Woolwich garrison at six o'clock a.m. ou Saturday last, headed by the band, to the Royal Arsenal, and embarked on board the Harbieger screw-steamer, for oonveya ce to the Exst. Toe Harbinger had previously taken on board a number of siege guns and carriages, with other military stores. She left the Royal Arsenal on Saturday afternoon, fur Purffeet, to take on board 50 tons of gunpowder, fur the service of the troops in Turkey. Captain Taylor's troop of Royal Horse Artillery, lately arrived at Woolwich garrison, from Canterbury, has been placed under orders to hold itself in readiness to embark for service in Turkey, being the third troop of Royal Horse Artillery for that destination. Lieutenant Chrighton, one serjeant, one corporal, one drummer, and 50 privates of the Woolwich division of Royal Marines marched from their barracks yesterday morning to the Dockyard station of the North Kent Railway, en route for Devonport, to embark for service in the Calcutta, 84, commisAioned at that port. Captain Gibbons's Company of Royal Artillery ar rived at Portsmouth on Saturday from Woolwich. The service companies of the 97th embark at South ampton on Saturday next fur Candia. THE 42D HIGHLANDERS.—This gallant and famed regiment, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Cameron, was inspected officially yesterday, in the Cam bridge Barracks, Portsmouth, by Major-General Sirup son, the commandant of the south-western district, The regiment were put through all their movements, their kits and accoutrements were inspected, and a full exa mination made into the state and fitness for the field of the truly noted "gallant 42d." At the conclusion of the official inspection, the Commandant in-Chief ex pressed to Colonel Cameron his admiration of the high state of discipline and efficiency of the regiment, and the good conduct of all since they had been under his com mand ; wishing them God speed on their journey to the East, for which they will embark in the steam-packet Hydaspes, at Portsmouth Dockyard, on Thursday next.

Under date of the 3d of May we hear of bitter east winds and thick-falling snow ; of the 4th, of Saeckbolin steamers running, with crowds of citizens to see the fleet ; on the sth, of fog so thick, that the. ships could not stir. In Finland, meantime the seamen is mild, and. vegetation is rapidly advancing. The rhonth of May is always the season of suspense at St. Petersburg--the time when it is said the restless Carr, who. 'sleeps only by snatches, looks out, or goes forth, almost before anybody else is stirring, to observe the aspect of his watery realm, amid see which way the wind is. The suspense is about the wind ; and even now, in this most solemn spring season of all the fifty-seven he has known, the move ments of the wind are of more consequence to Nicholas than even those of the allies. A long continuance of strong east winds would do more for him than all the preparations he can make. A rush of west wind would ruin him more speedily and thoroughly than all his united enemies could without its help. The surpense is about this. The fog is the token that the crisis is at hand. The fog precedes the breaking up of the ice in the Neva ; and it will be succeeded by those sin gular twilight nights, of unequalled beauty, which are the only charm of the desolate region in which St. Petersburg stands. While the fog lasts the sen tinels on the watchtowers in the city look Out in vain, some towards Lake Ladoga, some up the Neva, some towards the sea. They can hear something, but see nothing. So it is with the Czar, listening in his bal cony ; and with the commandants at Sweaborg and at Cronstadt : and perhaps with our " Charley" walking' the deck, and talking to himself. What he is listening fur is the arrival of the French squadron, which will enable him e to proceed to his work when the fog r ciurtaitt, rises. Whitt the Ruesians .are listening Joel's, fret, the wind. To some it comes sighing over the peaty plains which stretch to the margin of the gulf, whence they look like a mere drift upon the waters. Over that bar ren bleak expanse the wind comes sighing through the rushes, with an occasional bark of the wolt; or bursts of the din of the waterfowl in the pools which are already . melted. To others the wind comes vibrating like mourn ful music through the pine forests, which, surrounding the capital with their black belt, nowhere further off than 20 miles, approach much nearer in some directions. 'refire are sounds which come to the ear on May nights when the wind is from any pointof the compass; for there are swamps and pine forests every where. It is the voice of the waters that the watchers listen for with hearts that Aimed still. As long as the hollow moaning goes on, the moaning of the imprisoned winds below the ice, the sus pense is complete. Sooner or later comes the crack, which tells that the hour of crisis has come. The cracks of the ice are naturally most impressive and sound the loudest in the night. Tne Czar and his sentries are already on the watch ; but now the citizens rise, and look out in vain through the fog. Some dress and go to the wharves, though it is much too soon to conjecture how high the waters will rise. Next comes the crash of the ice, driven up in heaps in the river, or against the wharves ; and then the more anxious sound—the swash of the driven waters. The thing most desired is a moderate east wind —and this is what usually happens. A violent east wind brings down the inland ice and flood too fast; and every inch that the waters rise above the iron rings in the granite embankment is so much danger. But the fearful thing is a strong west wind, turning back the flood on its way to the Gulf. Then it is less the awash of waters pouring down than the roar of the sea owning up; and when the tides meet, the consequence is weat the world saw in 1824. The veseels that were not capsized by the meeting of the floods were carried over the wharves, and stranded on the sands which were arable fields the day before. The nine rivers and seven canals on which St. Petersburgh is seated all overflowed at once ; and the flood poured into the upper chambers of the best houses in the capital. At Cronstadt, a large vessel was drifted into the main street of the town, and left there. Every successive year adds to the peril of such a chance; fur every year does St. Petersburg settle lower in the swamp. Amidst the stagnant silence maintained there about all disagree. able facts, this very disagreeable fact is well understood. The mallet is heard, driving new piles incessantly—that is a sound that cannot be muffled. The blocks of granite settle unequally; that is an irregularity which the mar tinet Czar himself cannot prohibit or punish. The wails of palaces crack, and hovels sink down endways into the bog, and all the world may see them melt down or be shored up. The destruction will be horrible some day; and every inhabitant knows it, and only hopes that the place may last his time. But if a west wind should carry up—not the sea only, but those who are now rid ing that sea—what then ? This is what the Czar is lis tening for ; the one other sound—the boom of cannon— which might for on'-e rival in terror the roar of the sea. From Cronstadt, 16 miles off, the spire of the Admiralty and the glittering cupola; of St. Petersburg may be seen on a clear day. Cronstadt is nearer to St. Petersburg than Gravesend is to London. From St. Petersburg the hoods of such cannon as we have sent there may. -be-heart' from Cronstadt, if we have the west -stud for our herald of approach. By that time the fog will be gone, and the transparent twilight of that latitude will have set in. The admirals will then have no more time for listening like the Czar. Such a chance as that wind would fill the channels for them, end obviate their chief difficulty. A very few hours of such a tide would suffice for their attempt upon Croustadt. The gun-boats of the enemy, ambushed among the Wands, and watching with intense curiosity and awe the great floating fortifications that we have sent against their stationary one, must not, in such a case, come out, unless they would be run down ; and the sentries on the bastions at Cronstadt would see with dismay how rapidly the ordinary watermarks are disap pearing. Such a wind would be the best of allies. But, without it, we are disposed to believe that Cronstadt is, as is now hinted from the scene of action, " not im pregnable." We hear much of the shallows there ; but it is certain that the largest Russian ships of war are built at St. Petersburg, as far as the hulls are concerned, and then brought into the Cronstadt herbaurs to he finished. Tney are brought by the old-fashioned machin ery of "camels" down the river, and then by means of the great ship canal at Cronstadt, Into the heart of that place. That cleat—the one running from the Middle Harbour —holds ten large ships of war at once. The shallows before Acre were thought. to be an insurmountable diffi culty before Sir C. Napier mole a wreck of that mar vellous fortification. We shall soon see whether, with the added resources of 14 years of naval improvement, he cannot deal with the shallows of Cronstadt. The Czar permits no sounding of the Neva. To sound the Neva is death to Russian subjects ; but it is given out that the average depth is nine feet on the bar and twelve within. We all know what Russian figures are worth, and we may be sure that the shallowest depth that can be believed will be the one reported. We know, too, that the range of difference between the highest and the lo west water is very great, and that the period of highest water is just at hand. " Charley" knows all this, and very much more ; and while he is walking the deck, and talking to himself, he has his own plans fur making wind and tide serve him we may be sure. Everything is said to serve the Napiers (as it generally serves other people) when they are at their work. And the watcher at the other end of that Gulf, who knows all this, and very much more, how is it with him ? Thus far in life, he has never heard the truth on ethical subjects—has never conceived that he could be in the wrong—has never doubted his being able, if he chose his time well, to do what he would, in and with the world. Is the transparent twilight of the spring night the time when the reality of his own mind and life is to dawn upon him ? As the fog draws off, is it carrying away the mists of passion and delusion which have hitherto clouded his mind ? In that dim light do time ghosts of his evil deeds rise before him, and pro mise to sit heavy on his soul to-morrow ? Do the hanged come down from their gallows, and the knouted up from the depths of the mine; and the exiled from the shores of the Polar Sea ? Are the women of Warsaw there, de manding their children with heart-broken voices ? Do the insane shake their chains at him ? Can noble and serf for once speak their minds to him ? Does the "sick man," not dead, come and show bin his brawny arm 'I Is this the vigil that the despet keeps while listening for the boom of our cannon f If so ' he is calling on all his saints to help hiss. But to the hollow-hearted, saints, and diviner beings than saints, are but ghosts also. To so great a sinner, in the hour when tear brings convic tion, there is nothing present but his sins—the whole array of them—proinising to " sit heavy on his soul."— Daily News.

THE ROTAL ALBERT. —The Royal Albert, 131, was towed down the river on Sunday to be fitted for sea at Sheerness, • her great draught of water being likely to prove a source of delay had she been taken into the basin at Woolwich. She left; her moorings, opposite the offices of Commodore-Superintendent John Shepherd, at 12 o'clock noon, and was towed by three steam tugs. The engines, of 500 horse power, by John Penn and Son, have arrived at Woolwich, and it is expected she will be ready for a trial trip between the Nore and Meuse Lights within two months of the present date. She arrived at Sheerness at 11.45 a.m., and was safely anchored off the Dockyard, in a line between the Wel lington and the Waterloo. She draws aft 23 feet 1 inch, and forward 13 feet 9 inches, making a difference in her draught from an even keel of 9 feet 4 inches. Her bower anchors are of five tons weight each ; her hempen cables are 25 inches in circumference, and her chain cables are of 2} inches in diameter. Her gigantic masts and spars are of the following dimensions :—Mainmast, extreme length above the upper deck, 88 feet, and 42 inches in diameter ; maintopmast, extreme length, 73 feet and 22 inches in diameter ; maiiitopgallant-mast, extreme length, 55 feet, and 13 inches in diameter ; inainyard, extreme length, 111 feet, and 261 inches in diameter ; maintopsail-yard, extreme length, 78 feet, and 161 inches in diameter ; maintupgallant-yard, extreme length 49 feet, and 111 inches in diameter ; mainroyal-yard, extreme length, 34 feet, and 7 inches in diameter ; foremast, extreme length above the upper deck, 79 feet, and 38 inches in diameter ; foretopmast, extreme length, 65 feet, and 22 inches in diameter ; fore topgallant-mast, extreme length, 49 feet. and 22 inches in diameter ; foreyard, extreme length, 96 feet, and 23 inches in diameter ; foretopsail yard, extreme length, 68 feet, and 15 inches in diameter ; foretopgallant yard, extreme length, 43 feet, and 10 inches in diameter ; fore royal-yard, extreme length, 30 feet 6 inches, and 6 inches in diameter ; mizen mast, extreme length above the upper deck, 64 feet, and 26 inches in diameter ; mizen topmast, extreme length, 52 feet 6 inches, and 17 inches in diameter ; mizen topgallant-mast, 40 feet 6 inches, and 91 inches in diameter ; crossjack yard, 74 feet 6 inches extreme length, and 18 inches in diameter ; misen topsail-yard, extreme length, 54 feet 8 inches, and 12 inches in diameter : mizen topgallant yard, 35 feet ex treme length, and 8i inches in diameter ; mizen royal yard, extreme length, 25 feet 6 inches, and 5 inches in diameter ; bowsprit, from outside the knight heads, ex treme length, 52 feet 6 inches, and 40 inches in diameter; jib-boom, extreme length, 53 feet, and 16 inches m dia meter.

The Trieste Journal has the following remarkable ar ticle, the author of which is supposed to be an exceed ingly influential diplomatist in the East : " Between Enos and Rodosto lies the province of Swrid shi, an irriguous and healthy range of shore, traversed by a small ridge of mountains in the south, over which, in the direction of the Sea of Mariaora, the Kuru Thigh and the Tekir Dagh rise as it wore like the cavaliers of the whole bulwark of the mountains, at tae base of which the road from Constantinople runs through Sill wri, Rodosto, Ayuad shik, Keshan Ruskoi, and Kawala, to Salonica. " From Keshan luskoi a branch road leads to Enos, which is situate at a short distance from the mouth of the Maritsa, in the 2Egean Sea. The river Erkeneh, which merges into the Maritza at Ipsala, encompasses in the far distance the whole tract, which forms a narrowing bend towards Rodosto. From Rolosto there is a road that opens out near Araba. Ber,Tas, or Tshatal, into the high or main road leading from Stamboul to Adrianople, to which latter place there is also a road from .r.nos through Ipsala and Dimotika. "In the south the designated province rests on the mean Sea, with the Gulf of Saros in the west, which is separated horn the Dardanelles by the ancient Chersonesus, that far-extending tongue of laud whereon is situate Galli poli, and upon the Sea of Marmora in the East. "'This, again, is protected on the east by the narrow pas sage of the Bosphorus, and on the south-west by that of the Dardanelles or the Hellespont. The islands of Sainoth raki and Imorus ale situate, as it were, like sentinels be fore the Gulf of Saros. "AL the northern mouth of the Hellespont, which be tween Kilid-Bahr and Kaleh•Sultanieh is scarcely a quar ter of a German mile broad, lies Gallipoli, a town contain ing 18,00 J inh4bitants, at present principally occupied by the French ; whilst Scutari, the tete du pont of Constanti nople, nearly six miles &Auit frokh_ Beycos.Bay, on the Asiatio coast, is occupied - by the English. " The main points of political interest—for the English, Asia ; for the French, Europe—are clearly demonstrated by this occupation. The English have thereby taken upon themselves the bolder, the French, however, the safer part. The reason hereof is to be found in the fact that England rules on the sea, and that the English reserve squadron (known by the denomination of the home squadron), howso ever equally the nautical strength of both the protecting Powers may be divided in the Black sea, is three times stronger than that of the French. This circumstance also renders it easy to be understood why the French in the East must generally dance to the tunes of the English whistles. " la the front protected by the River Erkeneh, in the left flank near Euos by the Maritza and the bogs of Karaasmak, in the right flank near Rodosto by the rivulet Tachora, Stijl, and Constantinople itself ; in the rear by the sea and the combined fleets which rule over it, whilst the plain of Erkeneh rises lilts a glacis towards the pro montories of the Tekir D.igh and Kuru Dagh, and the road along the coast from Stamboul to Constantinople passes along the base of the glacis, the position between Enos and Rodosto (the latter place containing 26,000 inhabi tants), together with the landing and retreating points, Gallipoli is by nature one of the strongest ; in the hands of the French engineers it will become still stronger, and when it is further considered that the fleets will constantly have the supply of provisions, ammunition, and new troops in their po weraud that when once the despot at Toulon are organised, 10 steamers of from 1,200 to 2,000 tons will be enabled each time to bring up an additional 8000 to 10 000 troops, and that by planting their large ship guas on the fortifications, as the Americans did during their attack on Vera Cruz in 1819, in their disabling and breach-batteries, where they introduced their 3i-pounders and paixhans taken from their ships, these fortifications will receive an enormous superiority by the calibre of their artillery and their great number over the inferior baieg ing cannon of the assailant—the deduction may safely be made that the position of Gallipoli, occupied by good troops, under an able commander, is, according to the given conditions, an almost invincible one. " From Enos to Rodosto the distance is 19, from Rodosto to Constantinople about 18, German miles. About half way between Enos and Rodosto lies the village Malgara. From hence to Dschifr-Erkeneh, on the Erkeneh, where its northerinost bend begins, the distance is about 19, but from the southernmost curve of this river to Rodosto, it is only three German miles. The whole tract of land bounded oy the Maritza and the Erkeneh, independent of the land tongue of Gallipoli, encompasses about 108 Garman square miles, of which 80 belong to the mountainous part, and about 30 consists of plains—the former is the more impor tant in a military point of view. The tactical points which deserve particular mention are Enos, Ipsala, Dimotika, where the road from Salonica, which runs along the western bank of the Maritza, crosses this river ; fur thermore, Dschifr-Erkeneh, Ayrobol, Swendukla, where the road from Adrianople to Stamboul leads across the Erkeneh, Sarlar, Redosto, Aynadshik, Malgara, Keschan- Rustoi, the aforesaid mountain heights, together with the two higher ridges, and the very small neck of the land tongue of Gallipoli, which would serve as a last hold (support). " Upon these 80 square miles, in the position already in dicated, which cannot at all he attacked in the rear, and in the flanks only with difficulty, because every such flank attack would probably be turned (diverted) by the fieets, 60,000 to 70,003 men in ky successfully maintain themselves against an army of 20), ),)0 combatants ; nay, they may even destroy such an army, and by a Inn; re,imtanee anni hilate it. We almost incane to the belief that v ith ,ut a fleet it would be impossible to effect anything against this position. " Thus is situated the Thracian Gibraltar, from whence, without possessing Constantinople (according to the tenour of the conventions), the Western Powers, and espeoially England, may dictate the laws in the East, render the au thority of the Sultan perfectly illusory, hold the heart's-core point of two parts of the globe (Europe and Asia) in their power, dominate over the Euxine and the Archipelagus, ' and explore for themselves the whole of the Levant trade. Thus is situated the Thracian Gibraltar, this new despotic castle of Central Europe, to which England, by the pos. session of the lonian Islands in the south, and of Heligo land in the north, has affixed her spectacles immediately opposite its finest streams, namely, the Elbe, the Weser, and the Ems, and which—for the protection of her own ' commercial and industrial interests, that constitute the life-breath of England—she can entirely paralyse, if she were only to get the Sound, or even the island of Born holm (as a punishment for Danish friendship towards Russia) into her power ; of this England, which, for the sake of its own existence, must live upon the blood and sweat of other nations, and which now possesses so mighty an ally in the public opinion of Central Europe, because that opinion has been frightened out of its wits by the so-called liberal press and the Bourse, riding hard upon the dreaded phantom of an impending revolution. Thus is situated that Thracian Gibraltar, from whence Lord Palmerston may apply his levers against Austria, in order to protect the interests of political liberties,' as the crown, the last and highest aim of which absolute free trade' stands forth, which is so advantageous to England that her very existence depends upon it. And is it possible that under such circumstances people can still ask on whose side Central Europe ought to stand? _ _ " We will not speak of France, whose dark policy has thrown a shadow upon Italy by the names of Brennier, Lucien Bonaparte, and Murat. Nevertheless, let us be comforted. The eloquence of Baron von Vincke in the Prussian Chambers, the arguments of the Vienna Lloyd, and the ovations which the German press lays at the feet of England and France, will conjure the impending tem pest, and deliver Germany from the knout, in order to bring it under the cat-o'-nine-tails." COURT CIRCULAR. Viscount Palmerston and Earl Granville had au diences of the Queen yesterday at Buckingham Palace.

AMERICAN ADVlCES.—According to the American advises nothing further of a positive character had transpired at Washington regarding the modified treaty with Mexico. It was still in the hands of the Presi dent, but was expected to be put in an official form and sent off to Mexico in a day or two, General Gadsdeu being sent to that country to explain to Santa Anna the views of the 17nited States Government. " The matter," it is added, - " wilt probably be brought to a favourable conclusion in the course of a few month's." J A deputation from the committee appointed at the Institute of British Architects attended the Improve ment Committee of the Corporation yesterday, by ap pointment, at one o'clock, on this very important sub ject. They were accompanied by Mr. Masterman and Sir James Duke, members for the City, and consisted of the following gentlemen :—Mr. Tite (chairman), Mr. Hardwick, Mr. Smirke, Mr. Scott, Professor Donaldson, Mr. Mooatta, Mr. Penrose, Mr. Nelson, Mr. Scoles, Mr. Bellamy, and Mr. Baker (the honorary cecretarY). Mr. T. H. HALL (the chairman of the Improvement Committee), in addressing the deputation, said the question was an entirely open one, and that the City bad not taken any steps either to let or build upon the land. He then called upon Mr. Tite to state the ob. jests of the deputation. Mr. TITE, on the part of the deputation, explained the part the architects bad taken. He said they had had considerable public agitation of the question, and deemed it their first duty to submit the matter to the improve. ment committee ' • that Sir Christopher Wren's idea of having the cathe dral surrounded by a large open area had been defeated, but that circumstances had now oc curred which rendered that possible which was for merly believed to be impossible ; that the leaving this space open would give air and increased accommodation, so much required in a public point of view, and that it would furnish the in , st splendid view of one of the finest works of architecture in the world. Mr. Tite then explained the financial part of the question, and stated that the effect of not sell:ng this land would simply be to diminish the credit to be derived from the sales of surplus property. He then urged the adoption of this suggestion, as a most graceful conclusion to im portant and well-executed public duties, in which the committee, it appeared, were likely soon to be super seded. He ended by saying that he was in a condition to show that this was not a mere dilettante movement on the part of the architects. but was really desired by the inhabitants of the metropolis. Mr. HARDWICK followed Mr. Tite, and read a letter from Lod John Russe 1, expressing his lordship's entire concurrence in the objects of the deputation, which he stated he had supported in the House of Commons. Ho advocated the improvement, and observed that Dance and Mylne had in vain laboured in the, same cause ; that theArroth-ea=t,vi d er of the cathedral was the mod important., because of the exquisite light and shadow, and that the present opportunity, if once lost, could never be regained. Mr. Sin:litv SWIM spoke of the art;stic value of the opening, and suggested that if the land were given up it would redeem the corporation from much of the reproach of jibbing. Mr. MASTERMA.N said the concession would be grate fully received by the public, and that the subject had excited great int e rest. After some able remarks from Sir James Doke, Pro fessor Danatd-on, Mr. Bellamy, and Mr. Penrose, the architect of the cathedral, The CIidIRDIAN stated that the improvement cons. mittee were most anxious to listen to all the arguments that had ben urged, but that as trustees they must pro ceed cautiously ; that they bad already sanctioned a branch street to Blackfriars, and the plan for raising Holborn•hill. and with these great schemes before them, the loss of 60,0001. was an important item ; that two penny and threepenny rates for improvements were talked of, but that 60,0001. would require the whole of a shilling rate on a very large district to replace it ; that the committee felt the artistic question very strongly, and that they had resolved to have all the hoards re moved in order to give the committee and the public the best opportunity of judging of the probable effect of giving up the whole or a part only of the area in pee lion. On the latter point he requested information, which was given by Mr. Penrose, and the deputation retired, much grrtified at the reception they had met with, and with an understanding that an opportunity of a full in• spection would be afforded. Mr. Penrose produced a very large and striking pho tograph of the view of the cathedral from a scaffold raised high enough to clear the ruins and the hoardings, and this view was much.admired by the committee.

Although the winding up of the Chester aceounts afforded little time for the transaction of business on coming events, yet sufficient was done on the Derby to show an important improvement in the positions of King Tom, Andover, and The Trapper, anti a strongly marked decline in those of Dervish, 'Neville, and Ostrogoth. King Tom opened at 4 to 1. but so strong was the disposition to back him, that the offered odds was quickly reduced to 3to 1.

LA TV INTELLIGENCE, —May 15 COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. ;Sittings at Niai Prius, before Lord Campbell and • Common Jury. THE QUEEN V. BAKER. Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., Mr. Ballantine, and Mr. H. Giffard appeared fur the prosecution ; and Mr. Sergeant Kinglake and Mr. Rodwell for the defendant. The defendant, John Baker, Was charged with wilful and corrupt perjury, committed before the committee of the House of Commons appointed to try the merits of a petition presented against the return of Mr. Waddington and Mr. Peacock as members for the borough of Har wich. It appeared that those two gentlemen had been returned as the successful candidates at the election which took place for the borough of Harwich in the month of July, 1852. A petition was subsequently pre sented to the House of Commons against their return, upon the ground of bribery, &c., and this petition having been referred to a committee of the House, the defendant was examined as one of the witnesses iii support of the charge. The result was, that Mr. Peacock was unseated, upon the ground of a corrupt contract into which he had entered in reference to the seat; but, the charge of bri bery not being established to the sati.faction of the com mittee, no evidence was called to rebut the charge of bribery, and Mr. Waddington retained his seat. The defendant, when examined before the committee, h a d made a charge to the effect that one Parrick Daniels had bribed one William 0 b nal, the younger, by giving hi, two 51. notes to vote for Peacock and Waddington. lie stated that he was present in the yard of the Three Cups Inn, at Harwich, on the night of the nomination, the 6th of July" when be h and Osborn addreseuPaitiels .an, active partisan of Messrs Peacock and Waddiogton, and say how long he had been waiting, and that he had heard Daniels in reply s ty, " I have spent all my money, and will go and g,t some more." He added that he after wards saw Daniels come from one Alfred Haste's house, when he (Biker) asked him if he was not ashamed of him self; and that he afterwards saw Osborn and Danielsagain at the Thre-i Cops, whea Daniels said to Osiairn, " Here, old fellow," at the same time holding out his hand. He stated that Osborn said, " What a time I have been wait ing," to which Daniels replied, " I could not get it bi fore ;" and that what was passed from the one to the other was two bank-notes. On the part of the prosecution Patrick Daniels was c.illed, and directly contradicted the whole story told by the defendant Baker when before the committee. He said he never saw Baker at the Three Cups at all that night, and that at ab int 12 o'clock he went, in company with a man named Ruunacles and others, to walk round the town, and prevent the voters from being kidnapped. He never went to Haste's house, but when he was passing along the street, coming from that direction, the defendant Baker did cry out from the other side of the street, "Are you not ashamed of yourself, bribing with that money 2" He totally de nied that anything had happened at the Three Cups, as the defendant had sworn ; he never saw Osborn there, and never gave him any money, or promise of money, for his vote ; but he (Osborn) voted freely, having pro mised his vote about a fortnight before the election, when canvassed by the witness and Mr. Waddington. The evidence of this witness was confirmed by a young gentleman named Runnacles, an architect, who had spent the whole night with Daniels in going about the town to prevent the kidnapping of voters, He posi tively declared that nothing of the kind had passed such as the defendant had sworn, and that he must have seen and heard it if it had, as he was constantly in Daniel's company till 9 o'clock the next morning. Osborn himself, a mariner, was also put into the box, and swore that every allegation made by the de fendant respecting him and Daniels was untrue. He said he bad not seen or spoken to Daniels that night, and that no money had been given or promised to him by Daniels or any one else for his vote. He voted for Waddington, because he said he approved his "princi ples," but, on being questioned as to what his principles were, he seemed quite at a loss for an explanation. A man named Dawson and' several other witnesses were called in continuation of the case for the prosecution. They proved, among other things, that Daniels was not at Haste's house at all on that night, as alleged by the defendant in his evidence before the committee.. • The defence was, that the evidence given by the wit nesses for the prosecution could not be relied upon to convict the defendant ; and several witnesses were called who contradicted that evidence as to some of the cir cumstances in the case. A wan named Gledding, who had been employed in the interest of Mr. Bagshawe, one of the candidates, proved that he saw Daniels talking with Osborne at the Three Cups on the night of the nomination ; and that, about two months after the elec ' tion, Osborn told hint that he had received 101 for his vote. Several witnesses a!so proved that they had seen Daniels come out of Haste's house that night. RACING FIXT ..15
