The essential obiect of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting frcim irregularities and excesses, which here produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under thy Personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few egally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail.

The author lashes with great severity the impostors who make a livelihood by preying on the credulity of the public. The tribe of ` Quiet Symathisers; and ' Medical Friends, are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book could find its way into the hands of those who staffer from th com plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of less importance , though ee,th ough it is that which the quac k s most prize— This volume is well qualified to put an end to the much i mo em ptr cal system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to place the treat ment upon a more rational and phycsioloulgiarcal, Juneb basis. 16, is.ltl3, 1852. ,therefore likely to do much good."—Medleal Circular , No. H.

SEASONABLE FESTIVITIES.—At the social reunions of this festive season, the fair and youthful are more than usually desirous of shining in personal attraction under the gaze of many friends, and the followinz unrivalled requisites for the toilet are called into increased requisition—namely ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL, for creating and sustaining a luxuriant head of hair; Rowland's Kalydor, for rendering the skin roft, fair, and blooming ; Rowland's Odonto or Pearl Dentifrice, for imparting a pearl-like whiteness to the teeth ; and Rowland's Aqua d'Oro, a frag rant and spirituous perfume, an essential accompaniment to places of public amusement and crowded assemblies. The patronage of Royalty throughout Europe, and the high appreciation by rank and fashion, with the well-known infallible efficacy of these articles, ren der them a peculiarly elegant and seasonable present.

When the duties on foreign timber and deals imported into Great Britain were reduced, the lumberers of this country thought their occupation was gone, but owing to foreign vessels being allowed to come here and enter into competition with British vessels in the carrying trade the freights became much lower than formerly, thus benefiting the general business of the country, although injuring to some extent, the shipowners. The great field opened up, however, in the Australian trade has, to a considerable extent, remunerated our shipowners and shipbuilders for the loss sustained for a short time by the repeal of the navigation laws. The ships now built at this port, with a view to their being classed and made capable of trading to any part of the world, are of a most superior description, both as regards model and build, and so encouraging have been the prospects of the shipbuilders during the past year that forty-five new ships, measuring 42,064 tons, have been built and fitted out at this port in 1852 ; this would give an average to each vessel of 934 tons. Nearly all of these forty-five ships were built either for owners at Liverpool or for sale at that port, and some of the quickest passages in the Australian trade have been made by St. John-built ves sels. In addition to the above number of -large vessels built here, there have been a great many small ones, such as brigs, schooners, &c. It will be seen, therefore, that our colony has not been altogether ruined (as was predicted by many of the Protectionists) by the free-trade measures of England. Railroad matters do not progress much at present— the surveys having been discontinued for a few months, until the spring opens. The bills passed by the Legis lature of New Brunswick for the European and North American Railroad have not yet received the royal assent, being still in Sir John Pakington's hands. It is expected the contractors—Messrs. Jackson, Brassey, Pete, & Co.—will commence the work in the spring of the present year. Mr. Gladstone's colonial bill for the Episcopal Church has been under discussion in the dif ferent parishes of this diocese, and nearly the whole of r them, with one or two exceptions, have pronounced against it. It is supposed that the Bishop of this pro vince is favourable to it, as he is an adherent of the Bishop of Exeter. On the recent appointment of a Roman Catholic bishop in this colony, he selected the same title as that of the Episcopal Bishop—viz., Bishop of Fredericton —so that we have now two bishops under that title. TREMENDOUS FALL OF CLIFF IN DOVER.—Yesterday afternoon (Thursday) about half-past 3 o'clock, the in habitants of the lower portion of Snargate-street and the vicinity were seriously alarmed by the sudden fall of about 8,000 or 10,000 tons of chalk, situated imme diately at the rear of the Paris Hotel, and forming part of an overhanging mass of cliff, that has given rise to alarming apprehensions for some few weeks past, on ac count of the unusually wet weather which has for the last few months visited us. Indications of the dreaded catastrophe were apparent on Tuesday last ; a deep crack extending some 60 feet from the edge of the cliff being then visible, and the huge mass being slightly sunk below the surface of the remainder of the cliff. Imme diately on this fact becoming known, the Mayor of Dover (Charles Lamb, Esq.) took proper measures for the public safety, by ordering the thoroughfare imme diately under the dangerous spot to be closed. The destruction of property has been very considerable. The whole of the workshops belonging to Mr. Rouse, coach builder,distillery,nu tieyan ads Co.

COURT OF CHANCERY—JAN. 20. (Before Sir W. Page food.) WILKINS v. THE AUSTRALIAN BALKING COMPANY. This was a motion for an injunction to restrain the company from paying the half-yearly dividends to the shareholders, which would fall due on Monday nest. ' The motion was made under these circumstances :—The plaintiff, Mr. Wilkins, is a sh are b ro k er , an d it appears that he has been th e holder of a certain number of shares in the Australian Banking Company, /which he purchased some time after its formation, which was established in the year 1842. The shares were 251. each, but on the third series of shares issued the amount paid was only 21. 10s., the holders being bound to pay calls upon re ceiving notice to make up the amount of 251. per share. There were a number of circumstances mixed up in the arguments in support of the motion, but the point upon which the plaintiff substantially relied was this—that although he had only paid the 21. 10s. per share, he was, in point of fact, entitled to receive , profits on the full amount of the 251. share, as if it were in reality fully paid up. The learned counsel supported the claim on the ground that the plaintiff was awnontable for loss to the full amount of the share for all the shares he held, and that being accountable for losses to the full amount, he was therefore equally entitled to participate in the amount of profits to the full extent of, each of his shares, although only 21. 10s. per share was paid up. After a very lengthened argument, His Honour proceeded \to, give judgment, and ob served, that it had been said on the part of the defendants that it would be considered an absurdity in the city of London to say, that a party who had only paid 21. 10s. on each share should have an equat amount of profit with those who had paid their sharei in full. Now it appeared that the company had decided that the shares were to be 251. each, and that the capital was to be one million. It had been said on the part of the plaintiff, that he (the Vice Chancellor)-was bonnd to decide this motion according to the 33rd clause in the company's deed. If so, he was bound to say, that he could not decide it in the plaintiff's favour. ; he admitted that there was much in the argument that had been used, that a party should not be subjected to loss without, at the same time, being entitled to an equal profit. But the plaintiff had purchased the shares, subject to the 33rd clause, and could not force the whole of the capital on the company ; and, if the com pany did not receive all the capital, he was put in the position that he could not receive all the profit, although he was liable to be accountable for loss. In deed, the plaintiff might say, that as he knew he would not be called upon to pay up the full amount of the shares, he would make the speculation, as be bad only 21. 10s. per s h are t o p a y, and would take his chance of loss. It appeared that a general meeting was to give authority to make a call on the new :shares, and it was presumed the directors would not do so till the calls were paid upon the old shares. Unless the case was very clear on the part of the plaintiff, he (the Vice-Chan cellor) did not think he would be warranted in prevent ing the dividends being paid on Monday next. It was also to be remembered that the plaintiff was a stock broker, and had been receiving dividends for ten years, and as his attention had been called to the deed in July last, he might weeks ago have proceeded for a decree. He (the Vice-Chancellor) did not, therefore, think that on an interlocutory application he ought to issue an in junction in the present state of the proceedings. He had purposely given his judgment now in order that the party might have an opportunity afforded him of going else where without delay. Injunction refused accordingly. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH-JAN. 20. THE QUEEN (ON THE PROSECUTION OF DR. ACHILLI) v. NEWMAN. Sir F. THEsiazu (in continuation of what appeared in our impression of yesterday) said—Dr. Achilli had said he believed charges were made againgt him by his ene mies after he left the Dominican order, and that his friends might have taken them up and rebutted them, but he had not done so. It was a remarkable circum stance in the evidence of this woman that her exa.mina- tion in chief and her cross-examination took place on one day, and her re-examination on the next day. On the first day she made no statement that Dr. Achilli had connection with her on more than one occasion; but the next day, on re-examination, she was asked, whether she ever visited Dr. Achilli again, to which her answer was, " Yes." She was then asked, "And was the same thing repeated ?" To which she replied, " Yes, that seven or eight times she had gone to the sacristy in November or December." Now, he asked, had the witness communi cated that fact to her attorney or not ? Was it possible that so important a fact could have been lost sight of on the first day by the array of counsel who appeared for Dr. Newman ? The addition of such an important fact on the second day had a most suspicious appearance. It was asserted that a girl, 13 or 14 years of age, had been violated, and that she immediately became pregnant ; but the difficulty which that evidence suggested was the next day removed by the additional evidence that con nection had taken place seven or eight times. The al leged rape took place on Good Friday, 1840, but the childtwas born in October. Another important 'circum stance was the age of this young woman. Her mother, on cross-examination, stated her own age to be 59, and that she was 25 years of age when her daughter was born ; so that the girl was born in 1818, and if this event took place in 1840, she must have been at that time not 13 or 14, as she said, but 22. This was one of the cir cumstances which he (Sir F. Thesiger) had put to the jury along with others, and how was it possible for the Court, who had not seen the witnesses, as the jury had done, could decide that the j ur y h a d no r i ght to come to the conclusion which they had, and that they were so dissatisfied with the verdict that the case must be sub mitted to another jury ? The next charge referred to what took place in the lonian Islands, but before he came to that part of the case he must refer to the docu ment which had been produced from the Inquisition at Rome. The learned counsel here read the document. The learned judge (Lord Campbell) had suggested a dis tinction which existed between the parts of this document, upon which the learned counsel commented at great length. He then referred to a supposed discrepany between Dr. Achill's affidavit, upon which the rule was granted, in which he alleged that he had never been deprived of his office, whereas it was said the document itself showed that he was sentenced to perpetual sutpension. But the affidavit was speaking of the charges of immorality, and Dr. Achilli said he had never been reinoved upon any of the grounds so alleged against him. ! He positively de nied that he was ever brought beforeithe Inquisition for anything but his religion. It was wbrthy of note that in that document no mention was made of any single party, and there was nothing whatever to contradict Dr. Achilles declaration that he was never brought before the Inquisition for anything but erroneous teach ing. The 14th charge was that Dr. Achilli, in July, 1843, at Corfu, debauched the wife of Garamoni, a tailor ; and afterwards publicly cohabited and committed adultery with one Albona, the wife of one Vincenzi Coriboni, a chorus singer. As to Garamoni's wife, the charge of adultery, even if all the evidence was true, entirely broke down ; and the latter case depended chiefly on the evidence of Mr. Reynolds, one of Dr. Archilli's congregation, whom Dr. Achilli had on several occasions reproved for his intemperance. At the same time there were other persons who might have proved that charge, but who were not call e d. If D r. Ach i ll i had been the notorious profligate at Zante, which Mr. Reynolds alleged he was, it mug have become well known at Malta, where, it appearedi Dr. Achilli was re ceived with the greatest respect, allowed to establish a Protestant Chapel, and appointed to the most respon sible office of professor of the Malta'College. The next charge against Dr. Achilli was the 15th, which stated that Dr. Achilli had been dismissed from his office of professor in the Malta College for an offence, which the authorities could not get themselves to describe. The fair inference which almost any person would draw from that imputation was that Dr Achilli had been guilty of an abominable crime. Lord Campbell said he did not understand that such a charge bad been made. The Attorney-General said he never made such an imputation. Sir F. Thesiger said he was glad to hear that explana tion, because it would relieve Dr. Newman from the load, which would otherwise rest upon him, o f f a l se l y making such a charge against Dr. Achilli. It was clear, however, to his mind that the words of the libel were calculated to convey the imputation. So far was it from there being any charge of the kind referred to, that it appeared that no charge whatever had been made against him for immoral conduct. While Dr. Achilli was in England, a charge of immoral conduct was made against two students, named Leonini and Zaccares, which was at first dismissed, after an inquiry. A second inquiry and he sent was afterwards ordered, but Dr. Achilli thought no re liance ought to be placed in the testimony of Kaossi, th the charge, r subsequently came to Zaccares had intobrought Sicily. forward Achilli p England, and the committee in this country being an noyed that Dr. Achilli should have left his post, and also disapproving of Dr. Achilli's sending Zaccares away, determined to break up the college. He was thus removed from his professorship. The learned counsel then came to the cases which were stated to have occurred in England, in two of which actual adul tery was alleged. The first was that of Catherine Gor man, a servant in a lodging-house, who stated that Dr. Achilli had twice taken liberties with her, but that she had said nothing of what had occurred, except to her confessor. She said nothing about this to her mistress, and, under these circumstances, he thought the jury were justified in giving credit to Dr. Achilli's state ment on oath, rather than to the story of the girl. The next girl, Harris, was dismissed by Mrs. Achilli for be ing dirty, and without a character, and had, while in Dr. Achilli's service, made no charge of the sort. The next witness, Jane Legg, charged Dr. Achilli with adul tery • but iturned out that she was dismissed by Mrs. Achilli for allowing the visits of foreigners, and on one occasion having a young man in the house under suspi- cious circumstances. This woman, having left the ser vice of Dr. Achilli, was confined, but she never made any claim upon Dr. Achilli for the expenses which her confinement entailed. The oath of Dr. Achilli was set by the jury against the evidence of the servant dismissed under such circumstances as they were detailed by Mrs. Achilli, and he submitted that the jury were justified in finding the verdict as they had done. The last case was that of Wood, who stated that Dr. Achilli had forced her in his room ; that she lived in his service for several months afterwards without telling any one. She did not tell even her own mother, or the friend who had formerly placed her in a House of Mercy ; but the first communi cation she had made on the subject was to an attorney's clerk. All these circumstances showed that the jury had acted rightly in not giving credence to these wit nesses. Lord Campbell called the attention of Sir F. Thesiger to one point which he seemed to have pass over, viz., the refusal of Dr. Achilli to answer certain questions. That had been much relied on, and probably would be again. Sir F. Thesiger said he was much obliged to his lord ship for calling his attention to that point, and contended that as Dr. Achilli had come into the box to answer par ticular charges, he was justified in not answering ques tions which had no relation to them. Then it was said, had Dr. Newman suborned these witnesses to commit perjury ?, He (Sir F. rr hesiger) knew not who had suborned them. Lord Campbell said it was not necessary to impute blame to any one, and it was not probable that any one was to blame. Sir F. Thesiger said he believed that the evidence pro duced under the circumstances which he had detailed was perjured, and he cared not how the witnesses had been procured. He knew not whether Dr. Newman had taken a personal interest in the management of hi's case, or whether he had left it to the zeal of his friends ; but it was clear that many of the charges were false, and known to be so. He would not dwell upon that subject, but would remind the Court that in a case where there was evi dence on both sides, and circumstances of p r ob a bility on both sides, fairly and justly to be weighed by the jury, and where the jury had taken all those circumstances into their consideration, and the case was one peculiarly for them, the Court was called upon to say that the jury had been wrong, and that it was the duty of the Court to interfere and say that a new trial must take place before another jury. If that course were to be followed, where would that course of proceeding end? Suppose another jury should come to the same conclu sion—why, in that case, if the Court should grant a n ew trial now, it would be their duty to do so again. It must be borne in mind that it was agreed on all hands that it was quite impossible that a verdict of not guilty should be entered on the defendant's plea. The result of the new trial, if granted, must be substantially the same. On the other hand, if the jury had found a ver dict of not guilty, it would have been impossible for Dr. Achilli, it being a criminal case, to obtain a new trial. Unless, therefore, the Court should be of opinion that justice had miscarried, and the conclusion should be overwhelming that the jury had not come to a right ver dict, they would not interfere, for if they did so, they would commit great injustice towards a person who, under extraordinary and unprecedented circumstances, had triumphantly established his innocence of the im lpeuatrnateidoncso u w n !l e i h t h e h a n d s a t b d e e o n wn broughtafter an ai n addresss t him. of ne (rh arly e five hours.) Sir F. Kelly followed on the same side, and said that after the address which had just been delivered by his learned friend (Sir F. Thesiger), he felt he could add but little to what had been already said, but considering the unspeakable importance of the case to the gentleman for whom he appeared, as well as its general importance, he should be excused if he occupied some time with some general observations on the case, as well as upon the evidence. The learned counsel then, proceeded to argue that as there was but one plea of justification, contain ing a great variety of charges, it was a matter of cer tainty that a verdict of guilty must finally be entered, inasmuch as no attempt had been made, or would be made, to support the great majority of them, Of what use, then, would it be to grant a new trial, if the ver dict must be the same ? The defendant had already admitted that he had no evidence to support some 13 or 14 out of the 23 charges which the plea of justification contained, so that he was self-convicted of uttering all that slander and falsehood, and he now called upon the Court to grant him a new trial, in order that he might have an opportunity of proving some few of the charges, when he had already admitted that he had no evidence to sustain the great majority of them. Would the Court do that ? He trusted they would not, but leave the case as it now stood. The learned counsel then proceeded to comment upon that part of the evidence which was ad duced to show that Dr. Achilli's character for profligacy at Viterbo was quite notorious, and that he had com mitted enormous crimes which had become well known ; and he contrasted that evidence with the undoubted evi dence of written documents which showed that during that very period Dr. Achilli had been held in high honour in the Church, and had been appointed to several offices of honour, requiring the greatest purity of cha racter. He contended that it was quite impossible to believe that a man who had attained such criminal noto riety could have been so honoured by the highest digni taries of the Church in the very scene of his wickedness, and that, too, by persons who it w as sa id k new o f hi s enormities, and at first concealed them, though it was stated that they at length instituted an investigation. The jury could not reject one part of the case, and he thought that they were fully justified in coming to the verdict which they did, when they found that the man who was now accused of so many crimes was at the time held in such estimation by those members of the Church of Rome who were intimately acquainted with him. The learned counsel then proceeded to com ment upon various parts of the evidence, and particularly relied upon the evidence given by Maria Principe's mo ther, which showed, by a calculation of dates, that her daughter, instead of being, as alleged, 14 or 15 years of age when the supposed rape took place, must have been at least 23. He did not accuse Dr. Newman himself of any share in the production of false evidence. He thought him incapable of such conduct ; but when, in a moment of religious zeal, he had read these is putations in some publication, and thought th a t a great part of them were true, and had published them, it was pro bable that other persons, probably not Englishmen, had procured those witnesses to support the charge stated in the record. He (Sir F. Kelly) thought that the refusal of Dr. Achilli to answer questions as to his whole life ought not to be construed to his disadvantage. He denied, on his oath, that he had any connexion with any woman named in the case, and he also denied that he had had intercourse with many women ; but when he was asked whether he had had intercourse with any woman, he said he declined to answer, on the ground of his privilege. And when the Court bore in mind that the period more particularly referred to was Dr. Achilli's youth, he living, too, under an Italian sky, he felt sure that his not answering ought rather to weigh in his favour than against him. Upon the whole, then, he trusted that the Court would allow Dr. Achilli to en joy the acquittal which he had obtained, and would not send the case down for a new trial, there being good ground for believing that the jury were satisfied that this was a false and suborned defence. Mr. Ellis then rose to address the Court on the same side, but, it being p as t 4 o ' clock, Lord Campbell said the learned counsel might be heard in the morning, and adjourned the hearing. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, JAN. 20. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) IN RE FRANK CASTELLI. This was a sitting appointed to take into consideration the question of certificate in the matter of Frank Cas telli, of Bury-court, St. Mary-axe. Mr. Lawrance said, he was instructed to oppose, and wished to examine the bankrupt. Mr- Martiaty, who appeared in support of the bank rupt's application, said, perhaps Mr. Lawrance would be good enough to state, on behalf of those for whom he appeared, the grounds of opposition. Mr. Lawrence said, he appeared for Messrs. Lafuente and Webster, who had entered a claim for 6,0001., and also for Mr. Lafuente of Alexandria. The main features of their opposition were disclosed by the balance-sheet in the bankrupt's general transactions. He (Mr. Lawrance) charged the bankrupt with reck less and improvident trading, not only in connexion with the firm, down to September, 1850, but d own t o the stoppag e i n A ugust, 1851. He charged him with having dissolved that partnership covertly, with having possessed himself of the partnership property in fraud of the joint creditors, and with continuing to trade on his separate account, and with having contracted new debts to the amount of 400,0001. on his separate estate between September, 1850, and the stoppage in August, 1851. He charged the bankrupt with having applied upwards of 50,000/., acquired intermediately be tween 1850 and 1851, in payment of liabilities of his former partners out of the pockets of the separate credi tors in exoneration of those former partners. He charged him with having, under false colour and pre tence of being a partner in the firm of Castelli, Gius tiniani, and Company, con t racted these debts by fraud and false pretence, so as to bring him within the language and the spirit of the third clause of the 256th section. He charged him with having expended on his own per sonal support, at the time when there were no profits, a sum of 2,8261., and immedi a t e l y b etween September, 1850, and the ate of the fiat. There were no profits on the trading during that period, but, on the contrary, a loss of 60,0001. The bankrupt, upon being examined by Mr. Law rance, said—l have been in business in this country about 20 years. I first began to trade here in the year 1836, not on my own account ; it was in partnership. There were a number of partners. You have got their names on the balance-sheet. That continued down till April, 1841, and was then dissolved. The style of the firm was " Castelli Brothers." In 1841 a new partner. ship was formed under the style of " Castelli, Giustiniani, and Company." That style continued until 1847. I n 1848 another alterati on took place. The partnership con sisted of the following :—Frnk Castelli, general partner; Francisco Francescovitch Braggiott, general partner. All the others were en commandite partners. In 1847 a new firm was constituted, and continued till Septem ber, 1850. It consisted of Frank Castelli, J. Baptiste Giustiniani, Brizio Giustiniani, Liverio Caatlelli, Lee. nardo Giustiniani, Francisco Francescovitch Braggiotti, and Vincent Giustiniani. From 1846 to 1847 Messrs. Roberts were the general bankers, but the Bank of Eng land and the London Joint-stock Bank had also been our bankers. They continued so from September, 1850, down to the stoppage. The accounts at the London Joint-stock and the Bank of England were discount ac counts. The name of the firm was used. The shares of the business were divided into 62 parts, of which I had 33. The capital was 56,9211. 15s. 7d. The capital actually belonging to the partners generally was 46,000/. In addition there was a sum of 15,6431., which is still owing. The money was in the hands of the firm. The gross profits between June, 1847, and September, 1850, were 64,2171. The losses or bad debts, &c., were 79,4061. ss. 9d., showing a general loss of 15,0541., and that was irrespective of the partners' drawings. It was agreed in September, 1850, that the partnership should be dissolved. I did not communicate that fact to the bankers, owing to the terms of the agreement which was drawn ; there were ce r t a i n con t rac t s t o fulfil—that was the reason; transactions were pending which were not fulfilled. I am not prepared to tell the amount of purchases be tween September, 1850, and August, 1851. I cannot say whether it was upwards of 500,0001. I cannot say whether it was more or less. It may be 200,0001., 300,0001., or 500,0001. I cannot, in fact, give a posi tive answer. The books will show. I now owe about 400,0001: There are assets altogether to the amount of 280,0001. There are acceptances to the amount of 133,0001. upon our bills out. It was usual to draw on the house here or on credit. There was a verbal an nouncement that the firm was in course of liquidation to a great many persons, among others to Messrs. Rucker and Eldemaun. In the way the arrangement was made notice in writing could not be given. Messrs. Robarts held security for part of their debt—between 4,0001. and 5,000/. I think it was more. They are creditors for 14,6101. As I took from them documents of the old firm I supplied them with others to cover any deficiency. I deposited property purchased by me since September, 1850. The amount of new property they hold is 4,660/., and 1001. of property of third par ties. The last stock taking showed their affairs up to 1848. We agreed to dissolve in 1850. We did not make any supplemental account. It was to be carried on till it was liquidated. It would have been impossible to to have struck a balance at that time. In September, 1850, the liabilities were 887,0061., the other side of the account showing 898,5531. in good and doubtful debts and property. Those figures were arrived at after the bankruptcy. Advances had been made on produce valued at 746,0001. Afterwards credit was taken for losses upon the realisation of property to the amount of 120,0001. In the liquidation account credit was taken for 131,6621., being losses on realisation of property of the joint firm. These losses were sustained by the fall in the markets between September, '47, and August, 1851. I had a capital on beginning the new firm. The figures do not say I had none. I cannot say that, supposing the joint property to have realised 800,0001., I should have had 887,8131. to have paid—the way you put it (addressing Mr. Lawrance) is the difference. There would have been a surplus of 23,0001. divisible among the partners. His Honour —lt appears to be 10,740/. Examination resumed—l agree with Mr. Cooper (the official assignee's clerk) that it would be 10,800/. I was to have 33 parts. The drawings were 7,0001. Mr. Groom (the official assignee)—The good debtors appear to be 1,0841., and property 119,0001. The whole items of the balance-sheet must be taken. The Bankrupt—l understand there was a large capi tal-30,000/. His Honour—Taking the difference between the lia bilities and the assets there appears to have been 11,000/., and you say 30,0001. Examination continued—The profits made by me be tween Sept., 1850, and August, 1851; were 1,7831. 6s. Bd.; the losses were 68,0951. I drew out about 1,5001. for myself. I paid away 2,8261. during that period, but there was property to go against it. Upon obtain ing goods from abroad, the usual course of my trading was to retain the bill of lading, and until the bills drawn against them were becoming due ; but this course was departed from about six weeks before the stoppage. They were goods shipped to my or der and invoiced to me. I never pledged a bill of lading until the bills arrived at maturity, until with in a month or six weeks of my stoppage. I cannot tell the amount of the bills of lading. I did pledge without the books. It is impossible to give an idea. If you had given me notice of the question I should have been prepared to answer it. Among the debts contracted a short time before the bankruptcy was that of Messrs. Lafuente, of Alexandria-2,000/. I believe the first of the bills in their case became due after the stoppage. I received the bills of lading for these goods in June and July. I pledged them on the 9th and 11th of August. I stopped payment on the 16th of August. I made up my mind to stop at four o'clock on the evening of the 15th. I obtained the last advance on the 9th or 11th of August ; the amount of it was 11,2001., from Messrs. Rucker. The value of goods I deposited with Messrs. Rucker was the amount I have mentioned. I deposited Lafuente's goods on the 9th and 11th of August. I have not paid Lafuente any money On account of these goods. I made no payment to Messrs. Lafuerrte in anticipation of the bills becoming due. I pledged the goods chiefly with Messrs. Robarts, Messrs. Rucker, and others. Examined by Mr. Manisty—ln 1847, when the firm was changed, there was a complete separation between the old and new firm. As regards the London houses, lam enabled to say what the position of the firm which ended in 1847 was. In 1847 the firm which then started had a capital of 41,0001., and.with that capital we traded. until September, 1850. . But in 1850, when I alone un dertook to represent the firm, there was not a line drawn, and realisation and liquidation as in 1847. I can ascer tain my liabilities in September, 1850, by working out the accounts in my books. Everything is stated in the books. When I set down the assets of the firm then at 898,583/., that was by valuing the produce at the then existing prices. When my partners went out I believed there would be a large surplus upon all grounds, and subsequent events proved the justness of my calcula tions. From September, 1850, to February, 1851, prices continued to rise. There was a considerable rise. Had realisation taken place between September and February there would have been a surplus of 100,000/. I, beyond the capital of the house. I always gave my orders with the anticipation of a fall. I always allowed a margin for a fall. I was urged to increase my limits, and I was told by my correspondent that I was too tight, and the letters of Peter Clarke and Co. and of others will tell that. I believed that I must, unless something unparalleled happened, make money to a large extent. In March and April of 1851 there was a great flatness in the markets, but in May an r.ctual fall took place, and it fell for a long period constantly from that time. The experience of any London merchant will bear out the statement that the fall in the markets from May downwards was without parallel. I obtained ad vances during the period, and did the best I could. I gave orders to my consignees not to sell without my orders. I was unwilling to realise at a fearful loss. I was under the impression that I should, by a turn in my affairs, be able to retrieve my position, otherwise I would not have sacrificed 25,0001. I consulted others in my position. On the 30th June a report got abroad that I had suspended payment, but that was not at all true, for I had at that time a balance of 5,0001. at my bankers. However, I then consulted with my friends, who advanced me 25,0001. without security. I continued to receive from my friends assistance and advice up to the last moment. Had I been able to effect an ar: rangement, 50,0001. would have been advanced to me. The market has considerably improved since I sus pended payment. If I had held on I should not have been here now ; I should have been more than solvent. I should have had a fortune for myself. That can be ascertained by the current prices of the respective pe riods. My books prove the truth of everything. I have given all my book., leccers, dm, to the official assignee, and the creditors have got the full s benefit of every shil ling that remain s o f my property. I never engaged in any accommodation or bill transactions either in 1850 or in 1851. I never gave acceptances until after the goods were purchased. I allowed parties to draw bills upon me for consignments they forwarded. There was always value for all the bills ultimately. I was entitled to half of the surplus capital of the old firm—rather more than a moiety. The loss which occurred was entirely attributable to a fall in the markets. Those who know me can answer that I was unremitting in my attention to business. Messrs. Lafuente never asked me for pay ment in respect of the goods spoken of. They nego tiated the bills with other parties. They pushed them selves upon me. I might have done business with them and obtained goods from them to a much larger amount had I so chosen. His Honour said he would give judgment in the course of the ensuing week. TnE OLD WOMAN OF ELTON.—We regret to learn that the all-conquering king, though baffled often, has triumphed at last, and that the " oldest woman in the world" has been gathered to her fathers. This event, which must have been so long anticipated, occurred last week, and on Friday Mary Benton was quietly interred at Elton, where she had so long resided, and which she has contributed to render famous by the extraordinary as sociations attached to her name. There seems to be some dispute as to the precise age of this wonderful woman. On the coffin-plate it was stated to be 117, but it is generally supposed that this is considerably beneath the fact. The correspondent before alluded to, who appears to be tolerably well acquainted with her history, states that if she had survived until the 13th of February next, she would have attained the unprecedented age of 122 years, and from other circumstances we are inclined to believe that this is correct. The old lady was , regarded with unusual interest in her own neighbourhood, and her cottage was seldom free from visitors, to whose bounty she was no doubt largely indebted for the happiness and comfort that gilded her declining days. Her form, as might be expected, was very much bent, and in this re spect only did she resemble Otway's " wrinkled hag with age grown double," for her conversation was free and lively, and her eye, though dimmed, retained much of its former lustre, and she was able to dispense with the assistance of spectacles to the las t. We may just add, in conc l us i on , th a t thi s interesting personage w as a native of C oc kfi e ld, i n thi s coun ty, an d that she Ahder. re sided for some ti me a t L ong N ew t on , previous to coming to her daughter's house at Elton.—Durham Ad vertiser. iser. ( the ximes,..). • we. rliewleme de Seivign6 Strang Ingether emery expression of amazement in the French language t o describe the impression produced at Court by the projected marriage of " La Grande Mademoiselle" with M. de Lauzun, it may be doubted whether • any royal or imperial marriage has caused as much - astonishment in the world as the intended alliance of Louis Napoleon, Emperor of the French, with Donna Eugenia Montijos. But the times we live in are not like those when the foundations of the world seemed to be shaken by a violation of the usages of a court ; and in a country like France, ' where everything bears the stamp of adventure, we see nothing in such a marriage that is not extremely appropriate to the circumstances of the parties. As a mere question of personal dignity, Louis Na poleon has done well to show that he is more inde pendent than was supposed of the formalities of royalty; and, though he may become ridiculous when he imitates the traditions or habits of the great courts of Europe, he has an instinctive con sciousness that hi s strength lies in his sympathy with popular predilections, which coincided in this in stance with his own tastes. What would be con sidered most absurd, extravagant, and unl ooked for in other princes may fall naturally into his part, and even serve the purposes of his singular destiny. One of the secrets of his power is its originality, and he owes a large share of his suc cesses to abrupt and unforeseen resolutions, which it would be impossible to defend upon any of the ordinary rules of human conduct. The political combinations founded on royal marriages are com monly so worthless, that a marriage of inclination, as the French call it, is- far better than an ungracious alliance with an unknown bride out of some declining house ; and there is nothing incongruous in the decision which raises a young Spanish lady, of good family and great personal attractions, to the throne of Josephine. This decision, on a matter of so much importance to his own position and to the future prospects of the Empire, is of course the exclusive result of Louis Napoleon's own and it has been taken in defiance of the strenuous opposition of all his family and all his habitual advisers, with the ex ception, we believe, of M. de Moray. After an intimacy with the Emperor of some months' dura tion, during which the young Countess Theba had attracted a considerable amount of public attention, a sense of what was due to her own reputation ap pears to have led the lady and her mother to an nounce their intended return to Madrid, since it was only as the consort of the Emperor that she would consent to accept his homage. This blow had its effect, and the imperial Pamela obtains her reward, in spite of some passages which were thought to indicate a different conclusion, but which have left no unfavourable trace on the fame o f the future Empress. The formal announcement of the marriag e will be made to the Senat e an d t h e Council of S tate to-morrow. The Countess Theba, and her mother will then proceed to take up their residence in the Palace of the Elysee, and in two or three weeks at latest it is believed that the marriage will be solemnised. We learn with some amusement that this ro mantic event in the annals of the French Empire has called forth the strongest opposition, and pro voked the utmost irritation among those who have hitherto been the warmest adherents of the Bona partist cause. The Imperial family, the Council of Ministers, and even the lower coteries of the palace or its purlieus, all affect to regard this mar riage as an amazing humiliation, and they deplore the failure of the Royal marriages before on the tapis, as if they were not satisfied with the dignity and grandeur of their own Emperor until he had cohabited with an Archduchess. We do not pass for very warm admirers of Louis Napoleon's politi cal career, and on that subject we shall, without the permission of the Moniteur, continue to ex press our opinion ; but he appears to have acted in this instance with a just appreciation of the tone of public feeling fn a country in which Josephine was regretted and Marie Louise despised. He has nothing to expect from the goodwill or the respect of what is called good society, for he has never en joyed them. He has nothing to gain by a nearer personal alliance with the Courts of Europe, for he does not belong to them, and they cannot trust him. But he is the ruler of France, invested with absolute power, and we heartily wish he had never used it for any worse purpose than to marry the woman whom he likes. As even the greatest King Who ever reigned at Versailles married the widow Scarron, and lived with her as his clandestine Queen, we can see no reason why an Empress should not be created in these days on far easier terms. There is, however, one inference to be drawn from this occurrence which may be deemed more significant. This marriage is another, and a very striking instance of the impenetrable secrecy and uncontrollable wilfulness with which Louis Napo leon forms and acts upon his own propensities and resolutions. No doubt, all the ordinary considera tions of policy, decorum, personal dignity, and usage might be urged, and have been urged, against this marriage. All the Ministers remonstrated ; several, of them resigned in consternation, w h en th ey th oug h t of the ridicule and contempt with which su c h an affiance would be spoken of in the salons of Paris and the Courts of Europe. Louis Napoleon heard what they had to say, refused to accept their resig nations, and confirmed his decision by ordering M. Fould to make the formal demand of the young lady's hand. We are not, as we have said, disposed to take an unfavourable view of this decision ; but it is impossible not to see that a state in which such events are possible is governed by coups de tete, and that any other sudden caprice of desire, resentment, or ambition, which should get possession of the Ira pesial mind, would be gratified with the same dis regard to all existing modes of opposition. In short, a man who acts thus is not only absolutely without control, but he takes a certain pride in de monstrating that neither the advice of his Ministers nor the motives by which men are commonly affect ed, have any power at all over one of his decisions. The course of conduct to be pursued by sueh a man is wholly beyond the reach of foresight and of ar gument. It is impossible to affirm with certainty that there is anything he will not undertake • it is difficult to be prepared f or th ose thi ngs on which he is secretly intent. Although this marriage is not calculated to alter the opinion we entertain of the Imperial Court, it will not have the effect of raising its dignity in the estimation of foreign States or of society at large ; and here, perhaps, is its chief inconvenience. The Northern Powers have not recognised the new Emperor with cordiality, and they will be still less inclined to do honour to an Empress whom they have known under different circumstances. The marriage of the Emperor increases the probability that those hereditary and dynastic claims will be persisted in which have not been acknowleged by the rest of Europe. A state of things in which the reigning head of a powerful and irritable nation is not likely to obtain from foreign Powers all the deference and respect they are accustomed to pay each other is not one of great security. For it must be remembered that, as the continental States have fallen under the yoke of absolute Governments, their policy is more likely to be affected by the personal considerations by which Governments of that form are most affected. The peace of Europe depends on the policy of France ; the polioy of FrAlltie uu the will of Louis Napo leon ; the will of Louis Napoleon may now be _ biassed by the influence of an energetic, adven turous, and high-spirited consort ; nor shall we be surprised to find that, before this strange drama is ended, the young lady whose name now falls within the range of public discussion may have had some effect on the fortunes of the world. We sincerely wish her a better fate than the princesses who have last occupied the perilous position to which she aspires. How TO ENJOY THE RHINE.—If a good painter would consent to rough it on a raft going down the R o h h i l n e e, le_ er wo u u n l d d er ge a t sp s e o e m ts e subjects, u fi nk ne nownt o and the y n theevsrryda traveller by the steamer.
