Il lustrated by 50 coloured Engravings, on the Anatomy of the Repro ductive Organs and their relative conditions in Health and Disease. By SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D. 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &e., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more 'misery in Youh, 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 acquirei are here condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the Jew egally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and nu.- divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental o the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient ruarentee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and Inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these cases.

CIIISHOLM ON FEMALE EMIGRATION.—Last evening Mrs. Chisholm delivered a lecture on female emigration at the Sussex Hall, Leadenhall-street, to a great number of members of the Jewish persuasion, for whom the lecture was especially intended. Mrs. Chis holm, on proceeding to address the meeting, was re ceeived with loud cheers. She stated that it was a fact that rates of wages in Australia' were very high ; and from letters she had received, nursemaids were getting 25/. a year, and housemaids were 20s. per week. Ladies in the highest ranks of the colony were obliged to do their own work. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDON, BRIGHTON, D SOUTH COAST. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes terday at the Bridge - -house Hokl, London-bridge, Mr. S. Laing, M.P., in the chair. Mr. SLIGHT, the secretary, read the advertisement convening the meeting, after which the report, an ab stract of which has appeared in the San, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said, he thought it was very satisfactory to them all to see that the diminution of traffic had been so trifling as compared with the G rea t E x hibi t i on year of 1851. The falling off of traffic had only be 6 about 3,4001_ which was less than the loss that had been occasioned at Hast ings in consequence of the opening of the line from Tun bridge-wells to th a t place. Irrospecave - of. the loss at Hastings, the elasticity of the traf fi c op the line had been maintain e d i n 185 2, and th6re was every prospect at present of the increase being.-not only maintained but extended ; for the traffic at present was going on in the most satisfactory manner in every department. On the other hand, no doubt it had been a source of disappointment to many that, with the traffic nearly equal to that of 1851, they had not been able to recom mend the same rate of dividend. ' The reasons of that lay in the increased expenditure, of renewals in keeping up the stock and road, and the large amount which they had been unluckily compelled to pay for compensations during the year. The miscellaneous expense in the coaching department was made up principally of com pensations ; they had to pay in the last half-year no less than 8,0601. and in the previous half-year 4,4001., making a charge of 12,4601. for the year 1852. Now, with regard to these compensatiens. j he used the term "unluckily'? advisedly, because he-thought they were eno, titled to say in these cases, that it had been in a great measure a piece of bad luck. Those compensations ori ginated entirely from two accidents—the one at Ford Bridge, and the other to the express train near Reigate. Now, seeing that the public press were such rigid cen sors of their proceedings, and very properly so he thought, and seeing that, as far as he was aware, neither by the press, nor at the investigations which had taken place before the magistrates, arising out of those acci dents, had any imputation of blame been cast on the general management, or on any of the superior officers of the company, he thought they were entitled to con sider it a piece of bad luck that they should have been amerced so heavily in compensations as to those accidents. Both lof those accident arose from the same cause— namely, criminal neglect on the part of servants in trans gressing distinct and positive regulation with regard to signals. In the accident at Ford Bridge, the engine driver ran past a signal that was exhibited to him, and came into collision with a goods train ; and the man felt so strongly the consequences of his own misconduct, that he made two desperate attempts to commit suicide. He considered that if any one was to blame for that accident beyond the engine driver, it was the Board of Admiralty, who, when the line was being constructed, compelled the construction of a bridge with a single line of rails, instead of a double. With regard to the Redhill accident, the cause of the accident was the same. They had gone to the expense of providing proper signals to guard against that contin gency, and there were distinct and positive regulations as to those signals. When the accident occurred, and the enginedriver was brought into the box, the first thing met with was a circular notice, which had been issued a fortnight before by- the superintendent, calling especial notice to the signals, and instructing the men to look on the main line as somethingsacred, and on no ac count to be invaded without a proper signal ; and yet, in the face of that, the man who had been selected with great care came out from the siding in defiance of the signal, ran against the express-train, and caused that serious collision which had so heavily trenched upon the present dividend. He was anxious to correct some mis- apprehension with regard to the view which - he qOokOf these accidents, and of compensation for them, at the last half-yearly meeting. He had no doubt it was his fault for not expressing himself as clearly as he should done, for he had always found de gentlemen of the press exceedingly painstaking and accurate on these oc casions ; but, somehow he was represented to have said precisely the reverse of that which he did intend to state. He was reported to have stated it as if he considered the question of human life as a simple question of money,— as if it was a question whether we should pay so much money in making provision against accidents. God forbid that he, or anybody 'who had anything to do with railway management, should take that view of the case. On the contrary, the very thing that he objected to in the present law was, that it measured the amount of compensation to be paid by the railway company not by the degree of moral culpability attaching to the parties, but simply and solely by the pecuniary circumstances or the person who suffered by the accident. It might hap pen that on one line of railway a third-class passenger might be killed, under circumstances involving great blame to the superior - offieers of tho- company, and that they might all escape scot-free, with some trivial com pensation to the extent of 1001. or 2001. On the next day an accident might take place like that at Redhill, where the directors and officers had all done their best, and where, from some cause altogether beyond their con trol, an accident happened by which wealthy people suffered, by which solicitors, stockbrokers, and others, to whom time was very precious, met with accidents which laid them up for a time, and by which they suffered heavy loss, and the company might be called upon to pay an enormous amount of compensation. What seemed to • him to be a reasonable principle was, that in cases of compensation they should distinguish two portions, —one, which was the punishment for neg ligence or misconduct ; the other, which was insurance against inevitable accident. He thought the law was deficient, that, as regards the punishment for negligence, it did not brinc , it home sufficiently to the proper persons. In the case of the individual engineman or signalman who occasioned these accidents, they often escaped with what seemed to him a very trifling punishment, and if they came to the superior officers and directors, they escaped altogether in many cases where there might be a considerable amount of blame. H e wou l d be perfectly willing, for one, to take that fair resp onsibility which he thought ought to rest upon a di rector. If it could be shown that he, from favouritism or jobbing, had put improper persons in certain situations, or, having put proper persons, had neglected to take their advice from motives of false economy, or, from an unworthy desire of popu larity with the shareholders, to keep down the expenses, he had neglected to make provisions to keep up the stock and the road in the highest state of efficiency, he thought he ought to be personally responsible if acci dents occurred from want of care on his part. But then he must have a fair trial. He would not be sent before a jury composed of those gentlemen who favoured them with their columns in the Sun, or of military en gineers, who knew about as much about railways as he knew about the establishments at Chatham and other places. But, if there were a proper trib una l com p ose d of such men as Robert Stephenson, Captain Huish, and men of that class, placed in a position to administer justice, he thought there was no railway man who would object to go before a tribunal like that, and under take the fair responsibility of his misconduct ; and that misconduct ought to weigh upon him equally whether the person injured by his misconduct was a poor third class passenger or the Lord Chancellor of the realm. But, if they went beyond that to the ques tion of insurance against accidents,. which were beyond their control, such, as an accident resulting from an iron breaking, though selected with the utmost care, or against the risk of men, though selected with the ut most care, neglecting or forgetting their duties, it ap peared to him somewhat anomalous to apply practically a different law to railways from that which was applied to steamboats or other modes of conveyance. With re gard to the destruction of the Amazon by fire, there could be no doubt that that arose from an act of negli gence or improper conduct on the part of some servant of the steamboat company. This was analogous to the act of one of their servants, when they had laid down proper regulations, neglecting those regulations and occasioning an accident ; and yet, who ever heard of a company, under those circumstances having to pay a large amount for insurance against the loss incurred on those risks. If 10s. 6d. to Brighton were a reason able and sufficient fare for them to charge a widow lady of small property, with no relations, involving, in the case of an occident, an insurance only of 500 i., it could not be a proper sum to charge the Lord Chancellor or the Archbishop of Canterbury, if they were taking him down in the same train, under the same circumstances, with an insurance, practically, of 100,0001. against all casualties by the way. He thought the law was deficient in both those respects. He thought it was equally deficient in the one direction as in the other ; both in letting certain offences escape with im punity, and in visiting another class of cases, where the accident had arisen without blame, with an undue seve rity. They must see that they were subject to these extraordinary charges in deduction of their divided ; they must face the thing manfully, and the only way he could hope for escape was to strain every nerve for the prevention of accidents. They had done their best hitherto, and for the future they must try and do more than their best. Those accidents to which he had re ferred had reduced their dividend between 4s. and 55. per cent. during the year. The other additional source of expenditure was the extra amount of renewals. In 1849 he had estimated the probable amount of renewals then at about 35,000/. for the year, and that upon a less amount of work done. It was certainly no surprise to usali ; as w and, begihim to find that in 1852 thei r renewals should cost 36,6001. a-year. As their stock and line got older, a larger amount of ren ewals would from time to time be required. Prices of m aterials of every description con nected with railway workings had risen very materially late, of m ust look forward to a ddi t i ona l expendi ture. On refer rin g to the esti mate which he made in 1849, he found t hat on the p r esent amount of traffic the estimated on beginning whole, they to expenditure would h ave amounte d t o 230,0001. a - yea r, whereas the actual expenditure affect and the therate emigration o f wages v to ery A seriously had been 239,0001. a-year. Considering the altera tion of circumstances and prices, he was astonished at finding his estimate was so near the mark. He believed that a great many of those scandals in the railway world which had been imputed to dishonesty had arisen from directors and shareholders taking a too sanguine view of things, and not having the moral courage to look them fairly in the face. (Hear, hear.) The addi tional traffic in the year 1852, excluding cartage, was, compared with that of 1848, in round numbers, 120,0001. But since 1848 several competing lines had been opened, which, if they had simply stood still, would have mate rially reduced their traffic. The South-Eastern line to Hastings had taken away 20,0001. or 30,0001. a-year from the receipts which they enjoyed in 1848. The South-Western Company had opened a line into Ports mouth, which had affected their receipts. The opening of the Reading, Guildford, and Reigate line had affected their receipts, and in the whole certainly 30,0001. or 40,0001. a-year had been taken away from them since 1843 by the opening of competing lines. Notwithstand ing this they had a positive increase of 120;0001. a-year ; so that the virtual increase in that period had been upwards of 150,0001. a-year, or 33 per cent. on the amount of the traffic in 1848. This increase in the traffic had arisen from a vast amount of additional work. The. work done, measured by tho number of miles run, had increased in round numbers from 1,100,000 to 1,600,000 miles per annum, an increase of about 50 per cent. The number of passengers had increased from 2,500,000 to 3,500,000. The amount of periodical tickets had increased from 10,000 to 24,000. The ex pence incurred by that process of cultivating the traffic had increased from 187,000/. to 239,0001., or 52,000/. This was an increase of 35 per cent. upon the expenses, and their outlay in the capital account for permanent expenditure of one sort or other had been 200,0001. more than it would have been if they had stood still tt the point at which they were in 1848. In 1848 and 1849, when they found the property in a state of great depression, it became absolutely necessary for the directors to decide between the course of policy they they must ma Le expenditure, [own ins no more accommodation, and taking the natural in crease of traffic as it came, or they must adopt the oppo site policy of pushing and encouraging the traffic on the line to the utmost extent, and make the develpment of the traffic their principal object. They adopted the latter policy, and increased their expenditure 60,0001.. and gained an increase of 120,0001., and made up a loss of 30,0001. taken away by competing lines, so that on the whole they bad gained 150,0001. in revenue by an increase of 60,0001. in the annual expediture, of which 8,0001. consisted of interest on additional outlay on capital account. The increase came from three sources —the London and Brighton proper, the Croydon traffic, and the goods traffic. They bad spared no expense to accommodate this traffic, and the result had been that the Brighton traffic had increased from 119,1021. to 157,1961., being a gain of 38,0001.; the Croydon traffic from 51,471/. to 71,217/. being an increase of 20,746. ; while the goods traffic had increased from 70,0331. to 127, 463 i., or an increase of 57,000/.; making a total in crease of 122,2631., which was more than the total in crease of the whole traffic. Nothwithstanding their increased expenditure, they had increased their dividend, and raised the value of their shares from a heavy discount to considerably above par. The Croydon traffic had now reached to a point which made it difficult to acco modate the traffic with safety and convenience on the present line of rails. They could not continue to develope that traffic without a fourth line of rails from London bridge to the Croydon junction. He then adverted to the increase in the estimate for the works from 200,000/. to 250,0001., and stated that there was a prospect of very considerable increase of traffic during the present year, and if the increase should amount to 40,0001., he expected that 20,000/. of it would be profit. After some observations with regard to the probable reduction of interest on some of their loans from 5 to 3i per cent., the purchase of land at the London-bridge station for 20,0001., and other matters, he concluded by stating that he would retire from his position of managing di rector, and resign the salary of 1,5001. a-year, in conse quence of the state of his health and other matters lately rendering it imposstble for him to devote so much time to their affairs as he had promised on taking office, but, at the same time, he would do his utmost to promote their interests while he retained his seat at the board. He then moved the adoption of the report and state ment of accounts. Mr. SCHUSTER seconded the motion. In reply to a question, The CHAIRMAN stated, that the company would not have to pay more for the branch lines to East Grinstead and Bognor than 2,0001. and 1,2001. per annum. — .An; excess of cost above the estimates would be at the risk of the persons making the lines; the Brighton Company would have only to pay the stipulated rent. A PROPRIETOR did not believe that the passenger traffic on the East GrinstCad branch would exceed 6571. per annum, which would be all they would have towards the 2,000/, a year. Mr. HERAPATH said, it appeared from the census that East Grinstead contained 3,600 inhabitants, and that the whole male population was about 700. The proposed rent would be 2,0001. a year, and the working expenses of the line would not be less than 3,5001.; they would have to receive on that branch 5,500/, per annum on the seven miles before they would get one penny by the transaction. That sum would amount to 81. per man in East Grinstead, and he thought it very unlikely that the inhabitants could afford to pay that sum for traffic on the line. It was all very well for the contractors to get a guarantee on the outlay, but the bargain could not be profitable for the Brighton shareholders. With regard to the Bognor line, the rent and working expenses would amount to 4,2001. per annum, or at the rate of 421. per man. If they went on making branch lines in that way the effect would be to reduce the dividend. Mr. SCHUSTER said it was quite a mistake to suppose the traffic was so limited, because a great many persons visited Bognor as a watering-place. Mr. HERAPATH complained of the increase in the ex penditure, and that it did not accord with the estimate made by the chairman in 1849. At that time he esti mated that for every addition to the gross traffic receipts the additional working expenses would amount to only 25 per cent. of the increased traffic. The increase in the receipts had been 81,0001., and, instead of the additional expenses being 20,0001., as estimated, they were 53,0001. He also perceived that the receipts for the past year were 4,0001. less than those of the preceeding year, and the expenses were 10,0001. more . H e understood that this had been caused by laying aside old engines and using a number of new engines two or three years ago, and they now required heavy repairs. This made the expenses appear light at first, but they were now becoming heavier. - Mr. SCHUSTER believed they had now as many engines at work on the line as ever they had, and they were always being renewed. Mr. HERAPATH said, if that were the case, the Brighton company had a larger number of engines at work on their line than any other company, for .they averaged three to every two miles. He wished to know how many engines they had now at work on the line ? The CHAIRMAN said they had about 10 engines not in use, and that they also had a reserve, and on an ave rage for every engine in steam they had one in the shop undergoing repairs. _ Mr. MA — unisLAY said he was told that the outlay for the accommodation of the Crystal Palace Company would amount to 150,0001., instead of 75,0001., as for merly estimated. He thought the directors ought to have taken every precaution to obtain a correct estimate of the outlay before coming to the shareholders for any specific sum. He thought the Brighton Company should be entitled to 4 per cent. on the whole of their outlay for the Crystal Palace Company before that company paid any of their expenses. . Mr. J. WILSON moved an amendment, to the effect that the report be received and approved, except so much of it as referred to leasing the East Grinstead and Bognor lines, which the shareholders believed to be undesirable. Mr. WOOD seconded the motion. Admiral KELLY said, all they had heard with respect to the population and produce of the branches was totally erroneous. He was well acquainted with the district through which the line was intended to pass, and there were several populous places in the vicinity that required accommodation. The line could be extended to Tun bridge-Wells and other places, and there could be no doubt a large traffic would come on the line, and he hoped the proprietors would pause before they supported the amendment. Mr. BELL thought when they found the landlords of the district coming forward to have the line made, and willing not only to sell their land at its agricultural value, but to provide the money to construct the line, they ought to give them every assistance in their power. Mr. Alderman WILSON believed there was scarcely a branch line anywhere that paid, and it was well known that branch lines had been the ruin of railway companies. He thought it would be better for the company to put up to auction all the branch lines they had than to con tinuo to work them. If they had kept to the main line they would have dividends of 20 per cent. at the present period. He then alluded to the purchase of the shares in the Chichester branch line, by which the former direc tors made a large sum of money by amalgamating with the Brighton Company. He regretted that the chair man was about to retire and leave them the legacy of an unclosed capital account. It appeared now, instead of closing the capital account at 7,200,000/. they were to add some 400,0001: to it, in order to develope the traffic of the district. This was the time for the proprietors to say "No" to the proposition. and thus save endless ex pense. (Hear, hear.) It was a serious matter, after 17 years' experience and the outlay of 7,300,000/., that they could only obtain a dividend of 41. 4s. per cent. The CHAIRMAN then replied to the several observations made by the proprietors, in the course of which he de fended the policy pursued by the directors, which was to go on extending accommodation to the public and the district through which their line passed, and the result would be, in every case, increased traffic. With regard to his estimate of the increased traffic and expenditure, they would find that the expenses amounted, for 1852, to 230,0001., but the actual amount of expenses were 239,0001., which included 12,0001. paid for compensa tion for accidents on the line, which he did not antici pate at the time of making the estimate. The amendment proposed by Mr. J. Wilson was then put to the meeting, when there appeared 47 in favour of it and 50 against it. The amendment was consequently lost. _ _ The report was then adopted, and a dividend ;,t the rate of 2/. 12s. per cent. for the half-year was declared. The retiring directors, Messrs, Lushington, Nix, and [ PRICE SD. Schuster, were re-elected, and also Mr. J. Reeves, the retiring auditor. On the motion of Mr. STERRY, 1,800/. was voted to the directors, leaving it to them to pay such portion of it to the chairman as they might determine. A PROPRIETOR gave notice of a motion at the next meeting for the discontinuance of Sunday traffic on the railway. (Laughter.) The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. RAILWAY• BILLS ON STANDING ORDERS. The standing orders have been declared to be com . _ plied with in the following cases:— . CITY TERIfINUS RAILWAY.—We are happy to state that Mr. Pearson's sche:ne yesterday passed the Stand ing Orders COMlliittee. MANCHESTER AND SOUTHPORT—For enabling the corn pany th alter their line, to construct branches, abandon portions of the undertaking, and extend the period for the purchase of lands and completion of works. CALEDONIAN—For a connecting branch with the Edinburgh and Glasgow, near Glasgow ; branches to Greenock and Port Glasgow Harbours ; for extension of the Glasgow, Earrhea,d, and Neilston to Crofthead ; erection of hotel, warehouses, and offices at Glasgow ; and funding of debenture debt. THE PEACE CONFERENCE AT MANCHESTER. Od Thursday evening a meeting of the Peace Confer erence was held in the Corn Exchange, Hanging-ditch, Manchester—Mr. George Wilson occupying the chair. Mr. COBDEN, who was heartily cheered on rising to speak, said—The outcry that we hear in this country about an. won from France. is kvelled avainst the present Governmen' of France. from the Journal des Debats, which is a pacific news paper, not in the interest of Louis Napoleon, but a de cided advocate of peace and free trade ; and what is the tone in which that paper speaks of this cry of invasion in this country ? It says, that " whilst the British journals are every day accusing our Government of mak ing large augmentations of its navy, we observe that un der this unfounded pretence England is constantly add ing to its fleet and other armaments - and we are led to believe that the English press can have no other object in thus declaiming against the imaginary armaments of France than to conceal the real preparations that are going on in that country." The effect will be precisely the contrary of what the alarmists want. Instead of damaging Louis Napoleon, you will unite all parties in France with him as against England. And this is the great evil of such demonstrations as this—you make every man in France, that has one atom of self-respect, or of French spirit in his blood— you make him feel indignant that you have lowered him and his country to the rank of savages, in supposing that they are to come here some day, without notice, without declaration of war—a thing that never happened in any civilised country in the world ; and yet you are assuming that it is going to be done, some day, without any fact to warrant it; and you are making all the pre paration that he sees, in your ports , in order to receive those savages. (Cheers.) I wish I could get some of the public instructors and bring them to test how far they are in earnest, when they write in the way some of these Manchester papers write about a French invasion. (Hear, hear.) Now, to my knowledge, they have been writing in the same wa y th ese last five years ; I have had them upon me ever since December, 1847, which is above five years ago. They were writing in the same way when Louis Philippe was King of the French, and when M. Guizot was his Prime Minister. I will not let them off on their protesting that all they want now is to guard us against an usurper and a despot. I say they raised that cry as long ago as 1847, when Louis Philippe was king, as loudly as they do now. They have been for five years in this state of panic and alarm ; and I say it is high time that such people should take some assurance against the consequences of this inva sion when it comes. Well now, lam prepared, not only to give them that assurance on moderate terms, but I will put their sincerity to the test. Bring me that public instructor in your town who has been telling you for the last five years and upwards that this invasion is so imminent, bring him to me, and I will make a pro posal to him. If he will pay one shilling a week to your infirmary, as a subscription, I will enter into a legal bond to pay him down ten thousand pounds when this invasion takes place. (Great cheering.) The Govern ment has no belief in any danger of a sudden invasion ; I will prove it to you in a moment. If an invasion took place without notice, our Government would be cer tainly impeached for allowing our largest concentrated fleet—a fleet more powerful than the whole American navy—to remain where it is at present stationed. Now I am speaking deliberately when I say that we have a fleet before which if every ship of war which the Ameri cans have were brought they could not exist 24 hours ; and that fleet is now lying at Malta, or amusing them selves between Malta and Corfu (with a great expendi ture on the part of the officers for kid gloves for their parties and excursions) ; and I say that if Parliament believed what the Government and the instructors of the people are saying (as if it were derived from some special sources of information), that any go vernment that ever existed in the country, and was proved, if an invasion and descent on our shores took place, to have suspected it, to have anticipated it, and to have given a hint of it to some of those public in structors in the country, would inevitably be impeached ; and deservedly so, for having left our largest fleet, 1,200 miles off, and at such a distance that it could not be col lected in less than a month's time. So I assure gentle men in the provinces who join in the cry that they are only being heartily laughed at for their pains, and the Government, which may profit by the cry, is by no means a sharer in the panic. The last French war arose out of a gross and unprovoked aggression on our part. The last war on the Continent originated with us from an oligarchical Government, fed from the resources of this great nation, but carried on against the interests of liberty and in the interests of despotism. But, after that war was at an end, I think we might have expected that if there were any complaints, or accusations, or suspi cions, they would more naturally have come from the other side of the Channel. I think that, under the cir cumstances, when we investigate the origin and charac ter of the last great French war with this country, it is surprising thnt there is not a greater feeling of re sentment and indignation on the part of the Frenoh nation against the English. But are the English people in a position to begin again to exasperate the French people by accusing them of an intention to invade us, and of entertaining those base inten tions against our shores, when the only example in the memory of living man, is one in which we played that part against them ? If there should be suspi cion in the minds of any it should be in the breasts of Frenchmen. We have no danger it is admitted on all hands from any other country. If it were not for this bugbear of France and the French invasion, there would be lamentation and woe in some clubs in London, for I do not think they could have any excuse for keeping up so large a military and naval force. As to America, they do not give us any excuse for keeping up our navy. If France was out of the way, and we had only to look to and to be prepared for competition with America, or even with Austria or Russia, that would hardly afford us an excuse for keeping up our present armaments. It is France alone that you are threatened with danger from, and I say that the people of this country are alarmed with respect to France, simply because they don't understand the circumstances of that nation ; and, being in ignorance, you may persuade them to anything. It is like blindfolding a man, and then spinning him round once or twice. He then does not know where he stands, and you may persuade him that anything in the world is coming to eat him up ; but unbandage his eyes, and he is not so easily f r ightened. (Hear, hear.) The French people coming here, like a band of pirates, to take what the English people have ! Why, you have to deal with 8,000,000 of landed proprietors. A very worthy friend of ours, who is now travelling in the south of France , and who is known to most of my friends about me, has written within the last few days to us that, as the result of his inquiries and investigation, the condition of the rural population of France is very superior to that of the Eng lish peasantry. The French peasantry are the proprie tors of the land. When the man follows his horse to field there, he is turning up the furrows upon his own soil. Now, do you think that is exactly the population e over from their acres to come heremonethainmg to run has maraudinghere ebeen said expedition ? (Applause.) No w, about the Financial Reformers: thinking of who ex pects ever to get anyl cannot understand what a Financial Reformer can reduction of Government expendi ture, or any remission of those taxes which are pressing e us in so many places , unless h can hope to effect a re duction in our warlike ex penditure. Now, take it in numbers. I won't troubl e y ou with figures, but r ta o k il e nd inround numbers our expenditure—say 28 millions annually go to pay the interest of the debts incurred in past wars—l am sorry to say aggressive wars. Well, then, w e have about 24 or 25 millions more to pay. O u t of that, about 17 millions go for our present warlike ex penditure. Well, these invasionists tell us that they cannot be reduced ; and if the interest of the debt must be paid, which we all admit, there you have 28 millions and 16 millions, which make 44 m illi ons, that must not be touched. Then the Financial Reformers have left some five or six millions, which cover the whole expense of our civil Government. It is not an expensive Go vernment really, for twenty-eight millions of people. The civil Government costs us six or eight millions ; why, then, if the Financial Reformers join in this great cry for more warlike armaments, and give way to this red herring drawn across our path in the shape of an invasion, then I think they ought to close their books, and retire from business, and no lon ger call themselves Financial Reformers. (Cheers.) Our lecturers and our tracts must be directed to disabuse the public mind, in the first place, of the impression which is created with respect to the intentions of France. That is the first thing to be done, because there's where the danger is. Then let them deal with the economical view of the question—l mean the pressure of the enor mous burdens on the industry of this country, Let our lecturers go and show what each town y_s_ _why, I heard it stated that Manchester has to pay 8 00 ,000?. as its share for our past wars, and for ou r present prepara- tions. Let them go and show in all our towns and boroughs what are our economical objects. But do not let us lose sight of the still higher motives for peace. I - have always been of opinion that the mainspring of this movement must be with those men who look b e y on d temporary concerns of any kind—who instead of viewing this as a pounds, shillings, and pence question, or even a question of physical suffering, have an eye to the eter nal integrity involved in it. (Cheers.) I say these are the men who are the mainspring of this movement. If anything be done to destroy the energy or check the zeal, or to wound the consciences of those men who from • • 1715 to the present time when there was little attention paid to this question, kept the sacred lamp burning in the midst of contempt and contumely—if we do anything to disparage those men, I would not give a button for the prospect of this movement. And, therefore, our lectures, and tracts, and publications must not only advocate the cause of peace on the ground of religious duty, and of integ rity, but we must say not one word that shall wound the convictions of those men who conscientiously believe in the inviolability of human life, and who would not re sist to the death to save their own existence. Now, I know very well that our opponents will try to make it appear that it is very inconsistent for men to co-operate together with such different obiects, and for those who call themselves members of the Society of Friends to co operate with others who stop short of their principle. Well, that is a new doctrine at all events. It was not so when the French war broke out. 1 find that then the Society of Friends co-operated with Mr. Fox and his colleagues of the Whig party in trying to prevent that most unrighteous and most unhappy war of the French Revolution. I find that Mr. Gurney, of Nor wich, corresponded constantly with Mr. Fox in the House of Commons, and that Mr. Fox corresponded with Mr. Gurney, entreating him to get up a county meeting in NOrfolk, and encouraging him to get up nu merous petitions from Norwich ; and I certainly never heard anybody among the Whig party saying that Mr. Fox was inconsistent in co-operating with Mr. Gurney to prevent that dreadful war, or saying that Mr. Gurney sacrificed his principle in lending his help to Mr. Fox ; although, if they had come together and sought out their points of difference, instead of seeking out their points of union, they would have found, very likely, that their principles were quite as opposite as the prin ciples I hold would be found if compared with those of my friend Mr. Sturge. But we shan't have from the present Ministry, I think, any cavilling —no, nor from their organs of the press either— (a laugh)—we shan't, I think, have any' cavillint criticising as to men co-operatingo 44 l l l& don't - 'Uri all poittfr" tgre (Hear, hear, and cheers.) I recollect that during the de bate on the Militia Bill, a certain noble lord, who is now filling a very important office in the present Government, somehow picked up a pamphlet, written by a gentleman to show the inconsistency of a clergyman joining a rifle club, and the object of the writer was to show the tak ing of human life at all, under any circumstances, was inconsistent with a belief of the New Testament ; and being pushed by his adversary to the logical conse quence of his own argument, he made sundry admissions which, to those who have not adopted their views, ap peared somewhat absurd. Well, this noble lord, I say, got this pamphlet, and he very dexterously turned this pamphlet, written by this gentleman—who, I dare say, is very consistent and very honest in what he wrote,— he turned its contents against us, who were opposing the militia. Well, that noble lord is now filling an important office in the Government of Lord Aber deen. I think I remember, when the Earl of Aber deen was Foreign Secretary under Sir Robert Peel, that that noble lord, from 1841 to 1846, employed a vast deal of his time when in opposition in criti cising and condemning in no very measured terms the principles upon which Lord Aberdeen's foreign po licy was carried out. Well, but I suppose the noble lord must now have changed all his views on foreign policy since he took office under Lord Aberdeen ; or if he has not, I suppose now that he will not contend that it is not impossible for men to co-operate together without having identical views, and without being ready to go to the same extent in their views upon every question. If that be the case, I should hope that the noble lord will, from the exigencies of his present situation, have learnt toleration for others, and that n shall hear no more of those taunts against men in the House of Com mons who advocate the reduction of our armaments, or who resist the increase of those armaments, and who still may no more be identified with all the views of the Society of Friends than the noble lord would be with all the foreign policy of the Earl of Aberdeen. (Hear. hear.) Gentlemen, our object here is business. ' You are here from all parts of the country, and we have made a beginning in the essential part of our business this morning. At the meeting that has been held since the monthly meeting, I think some four or five thousand pounds have been sub- ' scribed. (Cheers.) It is proposed that it should be made up to ten thousand pounds—(cheers)—and that we go to work at once. Now let us tell those people who have fancied they have it all their own way, for some time, in calling out for more soldiers, and in threatening us with a French invasion, that we are goirg to have a good deal to say upon that question, and they may ex pect to meet us in every borough and town in the king dom. (Cheers.) I presume that our friends who are here will take charge of counties ; for instance, suppose my friend Mr. Bowley would take charge of Gloucester. (Cheers.) I was going almost to challenge him to take charge of a county myself ; but I certainly thind that all those who are, as I am, imbued with the conviction that the present is a most critical time in the cause of peace, should bestir themselves now. I hope they will, and that they will be ready, not only to give their time to it in all parts of the kingdom, but that they will sub scribe the sinews of war ; and if it be on 'y known in France that here, in Manchester, in the centre of the free-trade agitation, surround 3d by the very men who won that battle, there are men here now who are pre pared to commit themselves, aye, and to contribute libe rally of their fortunes, to the agitation of this peace question, and to the disabusing the minds of the people, of this country as to the intentions and as to tho condi tion of the French people—l believe that if this be known in France, it will have more effect than anything that could possibly be done to counteract the mischiev ous effects which are being produced by those publica tions which are now issuing from the press. (Great cheering.) Several other speakers addressed the Conference, and it then adjourned till yesterday morning, when the pro ceedings were resumed. FORGERY ON MESSRS. HANBURY AND CO., THE BANKERS.—Another forgery, to the extent of 8001., was yesterday, we regret to say, successfully committed on the above-named firm. The delinquents, as in the former forgery, committed some time back, have escaped de tection. AN ENGLISH MILORD !—The Droit a Paris paper, has the following :—" An Englishman of distinction, Lord F—, who recently arrived in Paris to take part in its pleasures, went a few evenings ago to the public ball at the Casino. His eccentric manners soon attracted at tention, and the words "An English Milord ! " flew from mouth to mouth. In a short time a young woman —thinking, no doubt, he must needs have a good stock of bank-notes, took, sans facon, the arm of the islander, and proposed to accompany him. Lord F— willingly accepted the honour of her society. A few minutes after, his fair companion was saluted by two young men dressed in the highest style of elegance. They addressed her as the Marquise de Varennes, and she called one the Count de Lancelot, and the ether the Duke de Beau manoir. The Englishman was soon presented to these illustrious personages, and soon became on friendly terms with them. The whole party shortly after went to a cafe, where a large quantity of spirits was con sumed, the Englishman taking the greater part. His ideas were somewhat confused, but his new friends proposed to play at odd or even for 5 francs each time, and he consented. He soon lost a sum of 300 francs, and was about to pay, when the Count de Lancelot prevented him, saying that they had only been playing for a musement. He, however, insisted, where upon the Duke de Beaumanoir proposed that the money should be spent in a supper at the Maison d'Or. This was supported by the Marquise de Varennes, and gene rally a pproved of. The Count and the Duke each invited a lady, and the whole party supped very gaily. After the dessert had been disposed of, the Duke de Beau manoir proposed a little game of lansquenet ; Lord F— excused himself, on the ground that, not expect ing to be in such good company, he had not brought sufficient money. The Duke told him that his signature would suffice, and at once rang for cards. The waiter said that he could not give any, as it was the rule of the establishment not to encourage card playing. Count de Lancelot then said he would soon get a pack, and went out to buy one. On his return play commenced, and Lord F— ended by losing a sum of 14,000 f. He immediately gave a check on Messrs. Rothschild, the bankers, for 8,000 fr., and said he would pay the remain der at his own residence. He then threw himself on a sofa and slept till morning. On awaking, he was told of the loss he had sustained. He was rather surprised, but being rich did not appear to feel any great con cern. The following evening he went to the Casino, and whilst there was accosted by a female in a domino and mask, who told him that he had been swindled, that the Duke and Count with whom he had supped were pro fessional Greeks, and that the Countess and Marquises , there companions, were lorettes. She also told him that they had played with marked cards. Vexed at having been made a dupe, Lord F— lost no time in going to Messrs. Rothschild's, and giving orders that his check should not be paid, but he was told that payment had already been effected. He resolved to think no more of the matter. But the pretended Count de Lancelot waited on him to receive payment of the 6,000 fr., and he was annoyed at so much impudence. He accordingly no only refused to pay, but made a complaint at the Pre fecture of Police. A warrant was issu ed for the arrest of all the parties, and yesterday M.

A tract of bog, about a mile in circumference, was per ceived to be deeply fissured, and shortly afterwards the whole mass commenced to move in an easterly direction, and continued in motion for 24 hours. In that period it accomplished a movement of about 80 perches to the east of its former position, and the result has been the exposure of a quantity of bog timber, which was previ ously covered with peat to the depth of 15 feet. The cause of this landslip is supposed to have been an accu mulation of water in a slough which occupied the centre of the bog. It now covers a piece of ground from which the turf had been cut away,—Dublin
