With Forty colonre4 Engravings, illustrating the Anatomy, Physiology, and Diseases of the Reproductive Organs, explaining their strnetufes, uses, and (Unctions, and tho various injuries that are produced in them by solitary habits, excesses, and infections, BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON. Doctor of Medicine. Matriculated Member of the University of Edin buret, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hesnital Medical Society, &c. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un fertunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con sequences, unwisely entertains a tear ef applying to a qualified physi cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, bat erro neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and pre vent his seeking ror assistance where alone it can be procured. Dr. LA'MERT has taken the highest medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his practice for many years ia a giarantee for his professional experi ence, which has reference almost s olely to the treatment of these diseases.

AWFUL DEPRAVITY.—A horrible crime has come to light at Cambridge within these few days. A Ger man Jew, named Tepper, a teacher of foreign languages in the University, and who had been residing on the Chesterton - mad, has violated his own daughter, an in teresting child, between six and seven years of age. The miscreant lost his " dear wife," as he called her, about twelve months ago, and soon after the crime alluded to occurred: he also subjected the child to ruffianly treat ment in other ie3pects. Lately he engaged a fresh housekeeper, to whom the child detailed the brutality of her parent. Through her instrumentality, Tepper was on Saturday taken into custody, and heard before the county magistrates. In their presence he solemnly pro tested his innocence; but Mr. Thurnall, surgeon, proved the capital offence to have been perpetrated, and on that charge he stands committed for the assizes. He is a tall, very dark, repulsive looking man, about 40, and has for a long time in Cambridge been playing the game of the converted Jew with considerable success amongst some generously disposed Christians.. -Stan Mercury.

THE CANADA QUESTION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SER I —A printed paper has very latelyfallen into my hands professing to be " A Circular of the Committee of the Annexation Association of Montreal," and to that body, through their acknowledged secretaries, it would, perhaps, be more regular to address these re marks. But the question of annexation is far too momentous to be confined to the opinions or wishes of any particular• party _or- body of men, however :re spectable and important their position may be, and I prefer, therefore, Sir, with your permission, to appeal to the geed sense and loyalty of every man in her Majesty's North American dominions against this mischievous attempt ~ to lead them into a career that will, I think, hardly appear dishonest i❑ itself, but little creditable to all concerned, and manifestly in jurious to the true interests of the colonists them selves, as well as to those of their parent state. I use all these words advisedly to a party, and not to indi vidual,' who may erroneously have imagined them selves driven to the steps they have lately taken, supposing that they were acting •for their country's good. Let us now examine the contents of this document to which I have alluded, and let the people of our North American Colonies pronounce an opinion, if what I am About to say appears to them as worthy of consideration. The " Annexation Circular" commences by stating that " the number and magnitude of the evils that afflict our countrymen call upon all per- I sons to combine for the purposes of inquiry..... with a view to the adoption of such remedies as a mature and dispassienate investigation may suggest," Now, fellow-countrymen of the most enlightened empire of the world, there is not one amongst us who will for a moment, I think, maintain, or even assert, that, if ' there are any evils—even few in number and small in importance,—we are not all bound to examine into the causes of their existence and suggest our remedies for their correction. On this paragraph, therefore, it is quite unnecessary to detain ayou for a moment. The second paragraph says—'' Belonging to all na tions origin and creed wehove consented to merge in oblivion all past differences of v hatever character." This is well and nobly said, and surely the men who could think and write thus do not mean to exclude from their general amnesty their brethren on this side of the Atlantic. If to forgive and to forget " past differences of whatever character'. is to be their future motto, they will not surely bear hatred to their old parent, nor even remember any mistakes she may have made, or errors she may have committed, when, often herself apparently struggling for existence, an d never being unkind or unjust if you will, from any desire to tyrannise. " The reversal of the ancient policy of Great Bri tain," continues this document, " has produced the most disastrous effects upon Canada." "What has Canada alone, then, suffered, that Canada alone has the right to complain ? Have no other colonies ex perienced disasters ? His New Brunswick escaped ? Has Nova Scotia escaped ? Have the West Indies, as true and loyal colonies as ever existed—have, they escaped ? Has Great Britain herself escaped ? No, we fearlessly answer, ; whatever may be the future result of our change of policy, the transition Mate is one of much pain and suffering to many an honest man, and we call at once upon the annexation party to withdraw a plea that belongs not alone to C made. Let her case be special, if her conduct is to I be extraordinary. We now return to this document. It complains of the " embarrassment cf the provincial Government, the civic corporation ... of capital amas s ed under a more favourable system dissipated !" How so ? let us ask, and why so soon dissipated P The "reversal of the ancient policy of Great Britain" is but of to-day ; and has Canada already dissipated " amassed capital?" Has Canada never heard of other Governments em barrassed, other civic corporations in fault? This is childish quite. It is like the young lady who did not like the gentleman's hat, his wig, his coat. No, pro . neuters of annexation, say that you do not like Eng land, as the young lady was obliged to say at last regarding the gentleman's face, or be silent, be honest, and let those you lead on your track under stand fully the road you wish to take them. This document also complains of " unrivalled rivers, lakes, and canals, almost unused ;" and then that, " unable to effect a loan with the mother country, although offering security superior to that which readily obtains money when other than colonies are the appli cants." Did I say that the attempt to produce the feeling of annexation would appear dishonest ? I be lieve I did, and think that I have already shown that it does so ; but here, at all events, there can be no mistake, " unrivalled canals. How as to the money raised to make the Beauharnois Canal ? Shame ! shame,l so to abuse old England. No one can regret more than myself that the unrivalled rivers and lakes cf the magnificent North American provinces are not made navigable to the foot of the Rocky Mountains —but let not all the blame be put on England. If Canada amassed capital under a " more favourable system"—why was it not applied to the purposes of opening out that navigation—why has no canal been made as the Strait St. Mary, to allow vessels to pass from Lake Superior to Lake Huron ? Why is her amassed capital now dissipated ? Is it honest to blame England for that—and will an attempt at annexation encourage England to plant her accumu lating capital in Canada ? Will it not rather flow into the rising :empire of Australasia when she ob serves how anxious some of her children, so near home, are to get rid of her ? The annexation party are now the greatest enemies of heir country--I do not mean intentionally, but virtually so. Their document proceeds to say--" with superabundant water, however, and cheap labour, we have no domes tic manufactures." And here let me ask have not the Americans plenty of water power, and labour as cheap as in Canada ? How, then, let it be also asked, in common sense, would annexation create those manufactures which Canada has not made fur herself in more favourable times ? " How can the most sanguine," this document asks, "anti cipate the advance of capital or enterprise to embark in this great source of national wealth?" and at the same time, it gives the answer itself—" except under altered circumstances." But those altered circum stances will not be a return to a system under which such domestic manufactures ;never arose—for there are none !—but must be the altered circumstances of the day—the great onward movement that has com menced, and will not be arrested. The great march of intellect and of science, does Canada mean to es cape that, and remain shut up in lonely forests ? If British capital and enterprise does not flow into Canada, it is because repudiation has once been adopted on the American continent, and by which England severely suffered ; and because she now d r eads the unsteady con d uct o f h e r North American children, an d f ears t o lend to those, who, to a superficial observer at least, appear more anxious to enter into the family of her neighbours, from whom she already bought ex perience at a fearful loss, than remain attached to their old parent, or careful even to build up a noble. mansion for themselves. The "altered circumstances" must be a firm reliance of the Canadians in them selves, and a well laid out plan to develope the im mense resources of the magnificent country. They must remember the fable of Hercules and the coun tryman, and put their own shoulders to the wheel, and then she too may be covered with a "network of railways," like her neighbours, navigable rivers and canals —more than that, she may open out to herself a noble route to the west. Aye, to the shores of the Pacific by canal or rail, equal, if not superior, to any route that the United States can accom plish, gr ea t na ti on as th e y are I and iin a much shorter ti me . L e t t h en th e Canadians—let the p eop l e of the of England heNorthA in mericsaunchpra work--let h er f orm h er provinces, ask for the assist ancecompanies for each particular object. Let her ascertain and state the exact security she can give, and come boldly to the English market and to the English Government—show that the accumulated saving of England c an be beneficially empl oye d an d 'security given ; and those will be the "Altered cir cumstances" under which our North American pro vinces may rise to be the British hyperborean king dom—the powerful and enterprising men of the north. Let her statesmen remember the words of Roebuck, with which I propose to close this first essay of my remarks on the " Annexation Circular"— " I contemplate an extension of our dominion across the continent ; the formation of new states im mediately north of Lake Superior, where copper mines of unexampled fertility have of late years been discovered. Let her statesmen feel them selves the rivals of those of 'Washington, and able to meet them on equal terms, and then in Nova Scotia, in Lower Canada, in Upper Canada, in the new states that might imme diately arise on their long frontier line, and also bse yond the Rocky Mountains north of the river Columbia —you would soon see their expanded views and daring conceptions, the really formidable opponents of their enchroaching republic, which is destined to swamp the whole continent unless checked and cir cumscribed by a spirit as bold and as pure as her own." Awake spirit - of the north—arise, equal to the duty appointed you. Let the royal banner of civil and religious liberty be unfurled and planted from Nova Scotia to Nootka Sound, and let it be remem bered that " wherever Englishmen have been sent or chosen to settle, they have carried with them the freedom and the institutions of the mother country." Sir, the interest you have always taken in colonial matters has led me to trespass greatly on your time; but the importance of the subject induces me to hope that you will find some favourable moment for the insertion of these remarks and the future observations I propose to forward you on this "Annexation Cir cular." I have the honour to remain, Sir, Your most obedient humble servant, ROBERT CARMICHAEL SIIYT LI. 15, Charles-street, Haymarket. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. FRENCH PLAYS. A new one act operatta, entitled L'Esclave du Camoens, was produced here on Friday evening. The plot has been rendered familiar to the English playgoers by the admirable version of it recently produced at the Olympic, under the title of The Poet's Slave ; it is at once graceful, interesting, and of classical sim plicity, consisting of the exhibition of the affectionate fidelity of an Indian girl to the poet Camoens, her master, to save whom she is willing, heroically, to sacrifice herself. This simple plot has been most artistically worked out by M. St. Georges, whose libretto has been twice set to music, first by Flotow, for the Parisian public, and secondly by " M. Van der Does" (the nom dc guerre of, it is said, a royal amateur), for the opera of Brussels. The ver sion of M. Vander Does was produced here on Friday evening, and succeeded a nierveille, in consequence of the exquisite impersonation of the heroine by Mdlle. Charton. The music is of a rather more elaborate character than is usual in one act operas, but we have no fault to find with it oh that account, vs it is characteristic, and evidently the work of an accomplished musician. We should .be glad to hear that " M. Van der Does" was engaged upon the production of a grand opera, as we feel certain that his genius and accomplishments would enable bin to do full justice to a subject of much greater difficulty than L'Esclave du Camoens. The part of Camoens was sustained by a debutant, M. llenry Drayton Dorissac, a pupil of the Conservatoire. This gentleman's voice is a fine clear powerful barytone, and is well under command. Ile was last night dreadfully nervous, as was naturally to be expected ; but he will, no doubt, soon become - accustomed to the stage, to which he is destined, we think, to be come an acquisition. M. Lac sang the music allotted to the royal lover of the slave with great taste and effect. The opera was applauded throughout its pro gress, and Mdlle. Charton was called before; the curtain at the close. It was preceded by the first act of La Dame Blanche, with Mdlle. Guichard as Jenny, and .M. Lac as Georges, and was followed by Les Rendezvous Bourgeois. The house was crowded by the elite of the fashionable world. JIB. LOVE, THE POLYPHONIST, 6-e. O❑ Mmday evening last, March the 4th, 1850, we strolled into the Music-hall, Store-street, Bed ford-square, and we are thus precise in mentioning the exact time and spot, for two reasons-Ist, that our readers may not run the risk of supposing we are discussing ancient times and manners-2dly, that they who give us credit for good faith, may be in- , duced to follow our example, and go there to. Now, we had heard much of Mr. Love, and, indulging, as in duty bound, seeing that our years are many, and our experience in accordance with our years, a cer tain disposition to be laudator temporis actf, as Horace said, and therefore, to a certain extent, no flatterer of the time present, nurturing and fondling sundry reminiscences of certain great ventriloquists and mimics, it was our fortune to hear and witness in our young time (for we will not follow Mr. Love in his deep conjectures about certain oracles, and the means had recourse to by the ancients to effect the laudable purpose of catching the ear and eye of the willing multitude)—in other words, having, for instance, heard the wonderful vocal deceptions of Alexandre, and witnessed the equally admir able delusions of Charles Mathews, we were hardly disposed to believe we could smile. Be it, however, our task, as it was our fate, to admit we were mis taken; we positively did smile, and what is more, more than once, and were forced to acknowledge that if Mr. Love's predecessors have left him little chance of being strictly original, they could not deprive, him of the merit of being decidedly successful in his vocal and comic attempts, to the exclusion of all servility where he could not do otherwise than imitate. So that if we cannot make up our minds to say he does surpass either Alexandre or Mathews in their separate• eminence, ha seems to us to realise something like a combination of their powers, and we deem this no slight praise. Much as we liked his delineation of various characters, much as we wondered at the facility with which he assumes totally different in tonations, and the rapidity with which he changes his outward appearance and very looks—much as we enjoyed the humours of his dialogue, and the versatility , of his manner, particularly in the monologue which concludes the entertainment, we deemed his forte to be in the precise and most felicitous imitation of certain sounds. IVe, being instinctively a little timorous, almost shook when be chased and caught, and suffered to escape, and again chased, caught, and finally bottled up that frightful wasp "or bee, we scarcely know which, whose buzzing is even now in our ears. A cold chill ran through our veins, (of all diseases that the flesh is heir to, we most dread hydrophobia) when be drove away that dreadful dog—that cow—we could see and almost feel her horns ; indeed we were on the horns of a dilemma more than once. We can scarcely say more, unless it be to recommend all who have seen either Alexandre or Mathews to hasten to Store street, or wherever they hear that Mr. Love is to be heard and seen, if only to bear us out in our opinion thus freely given ; and as for those who have heard neither the one nor the other of these great vocalists, the sooner they hear and see Mr. Love the sooner, they will retrieve their loss, and acquire a little wis dom in the confirmation of the fact long since pro mulgated and averred, that seeing is not always be lieving, and that the sense of hearing may be quite as delusive; and, last of all, they will admit with Butler, vide " Hudibras" " Doubtless the pleasure is as great Of being cheated as to cheat; As lookers on feel most delight That least perceive a juggler's sleight, And still the less they understand, The more th' admire his sleight of hand." MR. H. NICHOLL'S DRAMATIC READINGS OF SHAKSPERE. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) We have often wondered at the fact, that while the true and legitimate drama occasionally loses ground with the public, while with the adjuncts of music, scenery, dresses, pageants, &c., attempts at making the realization of the dramas of Shakspere popular, have in more than one instance proved futile and profitless, it suffices that a man should be found who possesses a good voice, a pleasing delivery, a sound judgment, and just so much declamation as would fit him, and hardly fit him, for an ordinary actor, to induce the public to congregate, and what is more, to subscribe for their admission, fur the express purpose of hearing those very plays read in an ordinary room, before a simple desk, and without any of those adventitious aids which are naturally supposed to enhance the value of a dramatic work. Such a man as we have supposed has recently read those very plays of Shaler spere to numerous and admiring audiences, and what strikes us more forcibly still, is that those plays thus read are not attracted by novelty, for they all know them, and could for the most part recite, or at least quote them, but simply by the desire—a very laudable one, no doubt—of ascertaining the real tendency of certain passages, the touches of feeling, the points which one fears may escape ordinary read ing, the true sense of certain parts, which may require elucidation, owing to their antiquity, in other words, of seeking the perfection of a most rational enjoyment. We are much indebted to Mr. Henry Nicholls for devoting his energies and natural taste to a pursuit which, we hope, carries its own reward with it, not only in the success which we trust will attend his efforts, but in the satisfaction he must in wardly derive from the knowledge that he must both improve the taste of his hearers and increase their admiration for their favourite poet. Perhaps, in the midst of much which we find to admire in his read ings of Shakspere, we may be permitted to recom mend him to be on his guard against what we con ceive a natural leaning to an excess of declamation, which occasionally carries him beyond the bounds that a reader should propose to himself; and we feel the more impelled to offer this suggestion, as we ob serve such attempts are likely to earn for him much ap plause from those who, in time, may be indebted to him for a nobler appreciation of his literary (for such we onsider them) t.fforts, and who will gain, on the score of taste, what, for a time only, he will lose in noisy ' tokens of their approbation. We admire him most, we confess, in those sober-minded moments in which he brings out, in bDld, yet quiet relief, those forcible characteristics which abound in every page and at every line in Shakspere ; we commend him for leaving out certain parts which may be requisite on the stage, or may be effective there, but only retard the action during a reading ; and, lastly, we antici ' pate as great a treat from bearing him in his forth- coming readings an we derived from hearing him in Julius Cesar on Tuesday last. NAVAL IN TELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—Captain Horatio T. Aus tin, C. 8., con - unander of the new Arctic expedition, came to this port last night to consult with Captain Sir Edward Barry. We are authorised to state that there is no foundation whatever for the report pub lished last Sunday in a local paper that Captain Austin would be knighted before leaving England. Commander Mcorsotr, of her Majesty's ship Ex cellent (additional), arrived at this port last night from London, and will proceed with further experi ments with shell to-morrow. Captain Moorscm has approached nearer perfection with his projectile than any ot:ler Engli!th officer. A very beautiful model of her Majesty's yacht Fairy, with ,screw fixed, and in working condition, executed by Llr. Henry Horn, a shipwright in this dockyard, was placed on board the Fairy on Friday when Prince Albert crossed the Solent in her to Cowes, and his Royal Highness was so struck and pleased with the 'ingenuity and elegance of the work manship that he took it with him on his return as a present to the Queen. FREIGHT MONEY. The following is an abstract of a return ordered the 21st of February, 1850, on the motion of Sir George Brooke Pechell, of all freight money paid into Greenwich Hospital since the 17th of March, 1849, with the name of the ship or vessel in which the treasure was conveyed, and of the officer com manding the same:— s. d. On account of - privat , treasure On vcourit of public treasure • 127 16 2 Total 7,853 15 2 Of which sum The Fury, Conatuan . der Wilcox, paid 611 0 5 The Calypso, Captain Wort . ), paid 2,790 50' The Constance, Captain Courtney, paid 1,773 13 10 The share of all freight-money due to Greenwich Hospital is one-fourth, the Admiral or Commander in-chief on the station being entitled to one-fourth, and two-fourths to the captain or officer conveying the. treasure. A meeting will be held on Tuesday, at Green-row Rooms, in this garrison, to found a "sailor's home," so much needed at a port like this. Admiral Sir Francis ismsten, K.C.8., will preside, and we fer vently hope that so truly desirable an object will meet with unanimous support. A court of inquiry will be held to-morrow on board the. Victory to investigate the cause of the Sprightly steam-vessel, Mr. Allen, acting Master- Commanding, getting ashore on the St.. Alban's Heal, in her passage from Plymouth to this port on the morning of Friday last. She hung for upwards of twenty hours. On the news of this catastrophe reaching the Admiral's ears, the Fanny tender and Echo steam-tug were o rd e r e d to her assistance; they were on their passage yesterday, when the Sprightly hove in sight, having got off the rocks without assis tance. She will be docked to ascertain the damage. She bas linccked the copper off her bottom and her fore foot, &c. APPOINTMENTS. IVoomvicn, I`,lARcn 9.—Assistant-Surgecn Tho mas B.

PLYMOUTH 111Aacit 9 —The Arethusa, now in . , liamoaz>, an d the Phaeton, now in the Sound, are two new first-clatis 50-gun frigates, of as great beauty and symmetry as ever fi'mted on the water. They will probably join the Indefatigable at Lisbon, under the orders of Captain Martin, of the Prince Regent, who commands the experimental squadron on that station. The three frigates will have, as nearly as possible, the same number of men, the same quantity of provisions, the same mats, yards, sails, rigging, anchors, cables, boats, guns, and shot. The Indefatigable carries the heaviest armament of the three ; but the Phaeton and Arethusa will have armaments and-equipments alike. The Arethusa has no ballast whatever, whilst the Phaeton carries upwards of two-hundred tuns of iron ballast.

The above analysis of returns of Welsh and English services in the Principality is certainly a strong proof that the Welsh have no small reason to complain; and it is not surprising that with such a :miserable supply of spiritual consolation the Cambrians have been driven to provide themselves with nativo pastors, their cry for Welsh bishops and their petitions to Parliament for re dress being systematically disregarded. The result is that the Independent genomination alone have about 118 Welsh chapels in the diocese of Llandaff, and the Cal vinistic Methodists 108 chapels ; and the Welsh Baptists are equally numerous; while the Independents have 217 Welsh chapels in St. David's diocese, and the Calvinistic Methodists 242 Welsh chapels. IRELAND. DUBLIN, SATURDAY EVENING .—ROYAL RESIDENCE IN DUBLlN.—Arrangements have already commenced for fitting up the Phcenix Park, embracing an area of some hundreds of acres, as' a residence for the Queen and Royal Family, during occasional visits to this country, after the abolition of the Lord-Lieutenaney. There are in the Park at present three residences— for the Lord-Lieutenant, and Chief and Under- Se cretaries. That occupied by his Excellency is in tended for her Majesty, but it will require consider able change and extension. It is understood that the Chief and Under-Secretaries for Ireland, to be ap pointed under the Act for the abolition of Viceroy announcement a t o h r t ui i e s e n i s c si e a e r i s e s ri e tdy t n - o o: f Lieutenancy, are to remain in London during the sitting of Parliament, but they are to reside chiefly in this country in the recess. The office of Under- Secretary, it is stated, is to be permanent.

Four or five years ago, the mere proposal of such an arrangement have produced a storm of agitation ; but famine insurrection would and dis tress, combined with the phantom of 1848, have left no materials for a political ferment. The Northern Whig of this day refers with great satisfaction to the intended discontinuance of the office of Irish Viceroy. That j ournal, which fairly repre sents public sentiment in Belfast, rejoices that " there is soon to be an end to that mimic, and mock, and paltry court in Dublin, which has long been a centre of and excitement to vanities, little ambitions, endless political intrigues, and frettings, turnings, and schemings not to be counted ;" and that " we are at length to be raised from provincial degradation to imperial dignity, and the enviable position of bein g part and parcel of the empire." The same journal adds :—" It is most appropriate that a Viceroy so ho nourably distinguished as the present should b e th e last of the official race."

REIIC IDE MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS.—At a COll - meeting of the members of the Philosophical Society in the town residence of Mr. William Murray, of .Monklend, last Wednesday evening, we had the plea sure of seeing, among many interesting objects in nature and art, a curious rS io of Mary Q iren of Scots which Mr. Murray has receives from a Loy, and which is to be permanently deposited, at the request of the donor, in the museum of the Andersordan University. It is a curious old oval watch, of considerably greater magni tude than the watches of the present day. It is made of pinchbeck, with cases like a hunting watch, and without a glasi face. The dial plate is elaborately engraved, and represents apparently some continental town. It bear. the maker's name, " F. Le Grande." Instead of being wound up by meant tf a chain, a cord of catgut is used Le this purpose. A skilful watchmaker in tomes has examined this antique timepiece, and is of opinion, from its peculiar construction, that it must be nearly 400 years old. The watch was found in Lochleveu Castle; immedietely after Queen Mary's escape from her imprisonment there, aid has long been in the possession af ass anticptarian gentleman in that neighbourhood. The watch is stall going, and its mechanism is in good order. —Glasgow Guardian. A NAPIER/AN ANECUOTE.—There is not much of novelty in the assertion that Sir C. Napier is a very ec centric general, of a very original turn of mind; but the anecdote we are about to relate will exhibit his conduct itt a most outrageously peculiar style—such as would hardly, even in these imitative days, find a copyist. It will be iwaollected that a few months since a young officer, Lieutenant G. Ashton, of her Majesty'; 53d, was dismissed the service for being intoxicated while on duty; The Commander-in-Chief, in confirming the sen tence of the court-martial, added remarks expressive of disgust at the crime, and recorded his firm ch termination to visit such offences with exemplary punishment. When the result of the court-martial became known the mother of the unhappy young man, a woman of highly estimable character, wrote to Sir Charles Napier, and told him how that her son, so far from being a dissolute character, had regularly remitted to her a considerable portion of his meagre allowances, to assist in supporting her; elf and his younger brothers and sisters. She said that if inquiry were made, it would be found that the crime which had ruined him in its consequences was the first instance of a departure from the rules of sobriety, and begged that some mercy might be extended to his fault in consider ation of his affectionate conduct as a son, and previous worthiness as a soldier. The reply of the Commander in-Chief disclosed his regret that these details bad not been furniahed at a previous date, as a knowledge of them might have mitigated the severity of his sentence, which, however, was not too great for the proved offence. We believe that some further correspondence followed, and which was finally wound up by the receipt, some days since, of a letter from Sir Charles Napier enclosing the price of an ensign's commission, as a donation from his private purse, the old warrior thus seeking to recon cile the claims if duty with the impulses of humanity, fort', Ring to the service the privileges of a sentenced prisoner, and atoning for the hardships of justice by tut act of liberal generosity. It is the frequent task of th journalist to dwell upon instances of singular acti6n on the part cf statesmen and generals, but it is a &dem that the.r extravagances take such a shape as this. It needs the oceasioral misdeeds of un Ashton to render us fully acquainted with the north of a Napier, an illustra ion of d; well-knee n axiom that misfortune is the parent of goodness.—Madras Atli( ?Ireton, Jan. 8. A AVOMA.N POISONED BY IlEtt lIUSBA.ND AND SISTER.—Susan Lucas, the wife of a labourer at Castle Camps, in Cambridgeshire, expired on the 22d of February, after a very short ilia. es, in the course of which she exhibited all the symptoms of having taken arsenic. A rumour soon got abroad that the poison had been administered to her by her husband and hersister, who were reported to be on too familiar terms, the sister re siding in the same house and sleeping in the same bed with deceased and her husband. In consequence an in quest was impanelled and adjourned, the stomach of the deceased and its contents being sent to Professor Taylor for analyzation; the professor's report has not yet ar rived. The magistrates of the division also interfered; and at the petty sessions, on Wednesday, the accused parties were brought before the Rev. J. Graham and the Rev. Charles Townley. The evidence of the surgeon and other witnesses was taken; and the prisoners, who said nothing in their defence, were then fully committed for trial at the assizes. Lucas is about twenty-five, and the female prisoner twenty-one years of age. The latter has since made a statement to the magistrates in con nexion with the affair, which is suppressed by desire of the bench. She also made some inculpatory remarks to the surgeon who examined her, it being reported that she was pregnant, but this fact was not established. SOUTHAMPTON, Marten B.—The United States mail steamer Ilerreann, Captain E. Crabtree, arrived off Cowes, Isle of Wight, at 10 o'clock this moaning. from New York, which place she left on Wednesd , t the 20th ult., a s h ort t i me after t h e sa ili ng o f We Europa, which vessel reached Liverpool on Monday last. The Hermann has experienced very fine weather, with a fair wind, during her run across the Atlantic, and the captain reports to us that his lengthened voyage has been occasioned by the extremely bad qua lity of the coals supplied at New York. All the efforts of the firemen could only produce a pressure in the boilers of 101 b. on the square inch, instead of 131 b. to 141 b., usually carried. The mails, passengers, &c., for England and France having been transferred to a small te er, the Hermann proceeded on her voyage to Bre snieanmat noon. She has a small cargo and some specie for Bremen, but none for Southampton. There were 45 passengers, amongst whom is Mr. E. G. Oelricke, bearer of dispatches from the British Minister at Wash ington for Lord Palmerston. These dispatches were received by express from Washington, but reached New York to) late to be sent by the Europe. The Hermann brings no later news from the United States than thatTre ceived by the Europa. The American mail steamer, Atlantic, Captain West, is advertised in the New York raper; to leave on the 27th of April for Liverpool. She will be the pioneer of the fortnightly line of Ame rican steamers (known es CJllins' line) to ply between New York and Liverpool, under contract with the United States' Government. The line consists of five steamers, viz., the Atlantic, Pacific, Arctic, Antarctic, and Adriatic, each vessel being 3,500 tons burden and 1,200-horse power;: tl.e largest ocean steam-ships at present eft, at. The steamer, Franklin. of 2,500 tons, was preparii g to leave New York about the Ist of April for Southampton and Havre.
