ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA, with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors a/relation to the Treatment and Cure of S ufferers from Debilit y of the Nieneratlve System, or sexual Hypochondria.sis. Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD "Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi ,,ea 1 contributions to German medical literature. T his is the first 'me, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the nos-medi cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall detect any ether equally flagrant evil which it may be In his sower to correct." London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851. The tribe of Quiet Byrne tbiserVand ' Neural Friends;are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book could find its way into the hands of those who offer Iran the 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 it is that which the quacks most prize— Ilinch money—. —This volume is well qualified to put an end to the ealPirical system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to place the treat ment upon a more rational and physiological basis.

SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. MAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri ages. Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are Principles of personal management which cannot be violated without Incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the .heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties Islay be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, an I how the evil and its comequenc es may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and is the only legally qualified Phys ician who, re g ardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritleal and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is tree. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply rewarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empiries, who, with their pirated Publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues Of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who Lave been induced to place faith in their pretensions. At home for consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from laix till Eight. All letters mast contain the fee of 11., and advice and Medicines can be forwarded to any initials or address. It is desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LA'MERT lleuld first obtain a copy of his work on SE LF -PRE SERVATION. A Medical Treatise on the Philosophy of Marriage and Nervous and Generative Debility, Illustrated by fifty-coloured engravings, and des cribing in detail the various disorders resulting from secret habits and excesses. The perusal of this treatise will assist in the correct description of their cases, and may be had, price 2s 6d, in English, French, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, or German, of Messrs. Piper Brothers and Co., 23, Paternoster-row; Hannay, 63, Oxford-street ; Mann, 39, Cornhill ; Stone, Titchborne-street, Haymarket ; or free by post for forty-two stamps , to any address from the Author's reg. e- BILDIIOID-OQUART. LONDON. THE NEW STAMP ACT. THE new Act for Penny Re cei p t Stam p s is intended to facilitate the purposes of business, and to circulate amongst the people a legal guarantee for every purchase. This will 3 a nd Make no alteration to the purchaser s of g oods at E. Moses 5014 '5, for they have always been willing to reftind the money for every article bought at their Establishment, or Its Branches, should t he goods not be entirely approved; but it is another proof of the Popularity of E. Moses and Son's business, which provides the best articles at the lowest possible prices, and every description of Attire made by them is stamped•with superior quality and unparalleled style. Thus have they secured tha world's confidence by the most equitable course of trade. B.

I sincerely wish well to the objects of your meeting. I cannot see my way in this crash of the Conservative party, and I know that the gentlemen of the Hedingham district under stand the local but meritorious object of their meeting better than I do • but at the same time I acknowledge that I have neither the heart nor courage to attend and speak my real opinions of the causes that have brought about this internal confusion and break-down of our party in the House of Commons. I admit it would bring such a hornet's nest about my ears, attended with no beneficial result, that I shall refrain from attending meetings, and content myself with floating upon the political surface till some event takes place that may render it less disagreeable than it would be now, by coming in conflict with many of those with whom we have fought many a battle.—l am, &c.

Till within a few wee k s i t was my decided resolution to have taken adv an t age o f t h e i r annual meeting to lay before them -and the constituency of North Essex a full and detailed statement of the transactions connected with the Derby election and the consequent inquiry, and to have vindicated myself from the unjust and malignant imputations which I have borne hitherto in silence, awaiting that opportunity to expose and refute them. A fresh perse cution has been lately commenced against me. The whole matter has been opened afresh, and is to be brought to the issue of a trial. Such proceedings ne cessarily preclude me from entering into those explana tions which might be impolitic as far as I am indi vidually concerned, but which must be unfair towards others whose cause has been mixed up with mine upon this occasion. It would not therefore become me to present myself at Castle Hedingham tongue-tied, neither would it be justifiable to put forward a one-sided statement to prejudice the case before it was fairly submitted to the tribunal by which it was to be investigated. Such is the reason which induces me, however distasteful it is to my own inclination, to absent myself to-morrow from the meeting. I trust that those to whom you will read this letter will patiently await the conclusion of those legal proceedings before they condemn unheard, or on the ex parte assertion of malignant enemies, one whose unre mitting exertions for six years in the cause of the agri cultural and Conservative interests, if overlooked by the party in whose service he has toiled, have not been for gotten by their opponents and his unrelenting perse cutors.—l am, &c.

IMPORTANT TO TRACT DISTRIBUTORS. A young man named William Smith was brought be fore Mr. O'Callaghan, the sitting magistrate at Capel street police-station, Dublin, on Saturday, charged by Mr. Martin A. O'Brennan, with having acted in a man ner calculated to provoke him to a breach of the peace, by thrusting a handbill or tract of a sectarian character into his hand on the public street. The case excited considerable interest, Mr. O'Brennan having published his own version of it in the shape of a letter to a morning paper ; and the office was crowded to excess with persons anxious to witness the proceedings. Mr. Whithorne appeared for the prisoner. - - - - GATESHEAD.—.Oct. 14, cholera, 3. Mr. O'Brennan (who is a Roman Catholic schoolmas- ter, residing in Bolton-street,) having been sworn, said —Yesterday evening, whilst I was going to the theatre with a lady I was encountered by this man in Sackville street ; he "thrust" a paper violently into my hand, and as he and a woman who was standing by both laughed at time, I took it for granted that something was wrong. Accordingly I opened the paper, and found that it was a species of tract, containing matter which I look on in the light of a nuisance. lam of opinion that when a man is going about his business no one has a right to offend his feelings in this way by thrusting into his hand a paper which is calculated to irritate and drive him to commit a breach of the peace ; under these circus:- stances, I felt it to be a duty, as a lover of peace, to give this person into custody, in order to put a stop to what I consider to be a most noxious and dangerous system of addressing people in the street, and asking them to read articles entirely opposed to their religious tenets ; for my own part, I would rather receive a dose of poison than the poisonous matter contained in this paper. (The paper " handed" to Mr. O'Brennan by the pri soner consisted of an invitation to Roman Catholics to attend a sermon to be preached by the Rev. J. O'Carroll, A. 8., S.T.C.D., in St. Luke's Church, on Sunday even ing next, upon the alleged supremacy of St. Peter.) Mr. O'Callaghan (to witness)—Have you any reason to believe that the prisoner knew who you were when acting in the way you have stated ? Witness—From the fact of his laughing, I think he must have known me. He admitted alter his arrest that he was the agent of the Rev., Mr. M'Carthy, of St. Michan's parish. Mr. Whithorne (to witness)—How long is it since you put the " 0 " before your name ? Witness—l don't choose to tell you. [The witness was, till lately, in the habit of styling himself simply Mr. M. A. Brennan.] Mr. Whithorne—Were your feelings very much hurt ? Witness—Yes, my feelings as agentleman. (Laughter.) Mr. Whithorne—Yon are an orator. Witness (with a complacent smile)—Yes, I think I am. (Laughter.) Mr. Whithorne—And you are a publisher too ? Witness—Yes, I write for the press occasionally. (Great laughter.) Mr. Whithorne—And you wish to bring your name into great repute ? Witness (seemingly offended by the question)--Sir, my name has been in great repute for many years. (Roars of laughter.) Mr. Whithorne—You published a note about this case in the Freeman's Journal of this morning. What was your object in doing so ? Witness—My object was to call the attention of the public and of the public authorities to this system of circulating tracts, which are, in my opinion, more poi sonous than the most noxious miasmata. (Laughter.) Mr. O'Callaghan—Do you swear that he "thrust " it into your hand ? Witness—He did. I saw a number of similar papers in his possession after he was taken to the police station. Mr. Whithorne submitted that his client had commit ted no offence in point of law. All he did was to " hand " the paper quietly to Mr. O'Brennan, and for doing that he was not only arrested, but actually kept in close confinement during the entire night. The charge was such a trumpery one altogether that he did not think it necessary to go any further with the defence. Mr. O'Callaghan (to witness)—Did I understand you to say from what took place there was any likelihood that a breach of the peace might ensue ? Witness —My opinion is that " if "my temper had not been controlled by education, it is " probable" that I might have struck him. Mr. O'Callaghan—lt strikes me, to say the least of it, to be exceedingly indiscreet and improper for any man, whatever may be his religious opinions, to thrust them upon another man who, as in this instance, is of a d if ferent way of thinking. If a paper put into a perso ns hand contains anything that is likely to make him angry, or to disturb his feelings, it is, in my judgment, calcu lated to provoke a breach of the peace, and it is the pro vincete of the magistrate (who is termed a justice of . 11_ peace) to take care that it is sufficiently presertvheed cannot entertain a doubt that conduct such as the lead toi soner has been guilty of is greatly calculatedh has oc a breach of the peace ; but as no actual . ' curred in this instance, I will only requiroefthe prisoner good beha ' to enter into his own recognisanccs to be viour for the future. el k for me, but a s Prisoner—l have no witness to sp sure as I stand before your w orship I did not `r thrust" the bill into Mr. O'Bren I simply offered it, nan's hand. and he took it, without the least pressure on I can, in all these :nY part. Mr. O'Callaghan--I am a justifce of the peace, be committeadndfoir am determined to preserve i t t 0 , s b o ai a i r o a r s cases. You must enter in 14 days. The prisoner accordingly entered into the required bail, and was discharged from custody. TLTE LATE SHIPWRECK ON BARRA-HEAD.—GLASGOW, Sunday Afternoon.--The steamer Islay arrived at the Brownielaw early this morning with 40 passengers, saved from the disastrous wreck of the Annie Jane. They left Barra in a small sailing smack on the morning of Wednesday last, and, arriving at Tobermory in the course of the same night, were thence forwarded to Glas gow. The majority of the passengers are pretty well attired, having obtained clothing from the wreck of the boxes which were cast ashore ; but many are totally pen niless, and 18 of the number had to receive food and shelter during the night in the police-office. Captain Mason, with the remainder of the passengers, including most Of the women, still remain on Barra. A ' '.- ) ~ 0ct.17.) Board of Health, ith the directors of the poor of the parishes of St. Giles and St. George, Bloomsbury, with a view to the preparation of plans for securing the preservation of the public health in those districts. Mr. Yardley, of the metropolitan police office, has to-day reported to the General Board of Health seven cases of cholera in the parishes of St. George in the East, Shadwell, Bermondsey, Kennington, and Green wich, and on board the ship Ivey, in the river Thames. Dr. Milroy, in pursuance of the instructions of the General Board of Health, has just inquired into and reported upon the sanitary condition of the Queen's Bench Prison in so far as it may be affected by the foul effluvia arising from the knacker's yards, bone-boiling factories, &c., in its immediate vicinity. Attention was drawn to these nuisances a few days since by Captain Hudson, in a letter addressed by him to Viscount Pal merston, and referred by his lordship to the General Board of Health. Dr. Milroy observes : " That it appears from the statements of all whom I examined that the stench from the factories, &c., com plained of, is often so horrible, more especially when the wind comes from their direction, that not only must every window be shut, but the inmates of the prison-- the average number of all within the walls, including the officers and their families, is about 200—are frequently so nauseated that they cannot take their meals when brought to them. One of the patients in the infirmary, suffering chronic asthma, stated that his breathless ness was always much increased whenever the air was polluted by the emanations from the bone-boil ing and other offensive trad es i n t h e ne i g hb our h oo d. On such occasions he was forced to leave the rear of the building, which is most exposed to the dis gusting nuisance, and go into a room in front ; but even then he did not find relief unless he at the same time closed the windows. The proper ventilation of the infirmary at the very season when it is most required is seriously impeded, nor should it be forgotten that .the weather when the mephitic effluvia are the most powerful is that when the freest aeration is the most necessary to health and for the prevention of dis ease. The testimony of Mr. Watson, the surgeon of the prison, leaves no doubt as to the results of the nui sance in the production and aggravation of sickness. 'I attribute the prevalence of bowel-complaints in the prison,' he says, to a great extent, to be caused by the noxious effluvia ar i s i ng f rom t h e k nac k ers ' an d bone boiling yards i n G reen - street, and this I o b serve i s par ticularly the case with prisoners recently committed, who invariably complain to me of nausea and loss of appetite, which they attribute to the peculiar offensive effluvia. During the prevalence of north-westerly winds it is at times quite impossible to open the Infirmary win dows for the necessary ventilation.' Captain Hudson and Lieut. Evison, the Governor and Deputy Governor of the prison, testify to the depressing and otherwise hurtful influence of the atmospheric pollutions upon the health of their families, who have been much more ailing since they have resided in the place than they were before, and both gentlemen very decidedly say that they would refuse to live on the spot, if the nature of their duties did not render residence compulsory. From a list given to me by Captain Hudson, I find that in one street alone there are no fewer than four bone-boilers, three slaughterers of horses and other animals, two cat gut manufacturers, and one bone button manufacturer. The Board of Guardians of St. George the Martyr have made more than one attempt to suppress the nuoiances, but hitherto they have been foiled. They are still most desirous to get rid of them from a conviction of their pernicious effects ; and at the recent interview which Mr. Hall, of the Poor Law Board, and I had with the board to confer with them upon the measures to be adopted at the present time for the protection of the public health; th e ch a irman press e d upon our 'attention the necessity of means being taken to correct the two monster nuisances —viz., the horrible condition of the sewers, and the disgusting trades of bone-boiling, cat gut spinning, and horse slaughtering, carried on in the midst of a thickly peopled neighbourhood." NEWCASTLE-lIPON-TYNE.—DEATHS.-OCt. 15— Cho - lora, 2 ; diarrhma, 2. Oct. 16—Cholera, 2 ; diarrhoea, 2. The total number of deaths from cholera and diar rhcea. in Newcastle during the present outbreak has been 1,501.

HAMBURGH.—The visitation of cholera appears to have been comparatively slight ; only 15 fresh cases have oc curred since the 26th of September, and no new case was notified to the authorities on the 6th of October, nor on the three preceding days. The total number of per sons attacked is stated to have been 537, of whom 279 died( and 201 recovered, 51 remaining at that date under treatment. In all human probability the community of Hamburg are indebted for their comparative immunity to the improved sanitary condition of their city since the last visitation in 1848. In that year great mortality oc curred among the British seamen in this port, amount ing to upwards of 800 ; but on this occasion an eminent English medical practitioner of the city, Dr. Helbert, has been officially appointed to visit the captains and crews of British merchant vessels in the port and neigh bourhood of Hamburg. Under the zealous service of Dr. Helbert upwards of 400 vessels have been visited, and be tween 40 and 50 cases requiring immediate assistance were thus discovered, of which only three have proved fatal, all the deaths being from developed cholera. It is stated that but for this ship visitation, very few of these men would have been brought under medical treatment at all, and still fewer in time for treatment th have been of any avail. Speaking of the British seaman generally, Dr. Helbert says, " I think the general state of their health i 3 very satisfactory. In comparison with the Hamburg population, these English sailors look much stronger and healthier. As I often had occasion to visit the vessels at dinner-time, I was generally struck with the excellent food they had, which is far superior to that of the Ger mans ; particularly there always was a much larger allowance of meat than the Germans have." The great distance of the hospital from the port (namely, about three miles) is greatly and justly complained of. It is always difficult and often dangerous to remove the sick so far, and even when they safely arrive at the hospital, the journey produces a depressing effect. Attempts have been made to remedy this evil, but hitherto without success, though it is stated that a seaman's hospital might be supported at a very moderate expense, were the seamen to pay only at the same rate as they do at present in the general hospital. namely, one mark daily. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 18, 1853. THE PROGRESS OF .NEW SOUTH WALES. The Sydney papers received by the last mail contain, as usual, a curious and interesting medley of information on the commercial, social, and poli tical progress of the colony. Its prosterity, though seemingly eclipsed by the astonishing accounts from the Victoria goldfields, is not therefore less sub stantial, and perhaps is more firmly established, and more general in its diffusion. The goldfields of New South Wales, though less stupendous in their results than those of Victoria, have never since their first discovery ceased sufficiently, and in many instances brilliantly, to remunerate a large mining population, while the wealth of the colony has been still further increased by considerable amounts of gold and money obtained by inhabitants of New South Wales in the Victoria goldfields. Ample evidence of this fact is again furnished by the Sydney Gold Circulars from the 4th to the 18th of June. In the week ending the 4th of June, 2,161 ounces of gold, valued at about 8,0001., reached Sydney from the various New South Wales diggings, which may be enumerated as follows :—Bathurst, Sofala, Yo.ss, Bin gara, Tambareora, Avisford, Mud gee, Braidwood, Bell's Creek, Major's Creek, Goul burn, Murrurundi, Cameron's Creek, Tamworth, Hanging Rock, Rocky River, and the Ovens, where new and rich placers had been discovered. Iu the week ending June 10, the arrivals amounted to 4,325 ounces, valued at 15,0091. ; in the week end ling June 18, 1,446 ounces of gold came to Sydney, together with 2,8641. in cash. The total of the ex ports of gold since the first discovery amounted to 1,332,741 ounces, which, at 70s. per ounce, repre sent a capital of 4,664,5931. It is of course impos sible to estimate the amounts taken out by pas sengers, either on their own account or for others. The, rinses of gold at Sydney in the third week of June ranged from 3/. 15s. to 3/. 17s. 6cl. per ounce. Considerable losses, in some cases amounting to Bs. or 10s. on the ounce, had been sustained by Sydney gold brokers from adulterated gold sent from Mel bourne, and the consequence was that New South Wales gold was much in demand, while the parcels imported from Victoria were looked upon with a good deal of suspicion. Among the gold fields mentioned above are several new diggings which have never, or but very slightly, been mentioned in England. The first among them is Nuggetty Gully, near the Ovens, where the gold, we learn, is distributed capriciously, and success has consequently been unequal. Nevertheless, at least 500 diggers were at work in that locality in the last week of May, and the majority of these ad venturers, says the correspondent of the Sydney Morning _Herald, "are doing very well." By some Nuggetty Gully was spoken very highly of ; others maintained that the washing stuff is only a few inches in thickness, and that, unless it is very rich, it would not pay for working. Three or four parties are mentioned as getting 12 ounces to the tub. An instance of great good fortune is reported from another new locality—Maitland Bar, on the Meroo. A party of three were digging on a claim for 24 days. They paid all their expences, sold the gold, and in the end had a surplus amounting to 1,0801. Of the same diggings it is stated that four' diggers had within a very short time (there are no further details) obtained 800 ounces of gold-dust, and another party of three was mentioned whose weekly earnings for many weeks past ranged from 20 to 100 ounces. The working of the alluvial diggings and the washing of the soil engaged the attention of the diggers in almost all the fields. Formerly, in the majority of instances, washing would not pay, for it was necessary to carry the " dirt" uphill and downhill for the distance sometimes of a mile or two, in order to bring it near the water. But, within the last month, water companies have established themselves at almost all the goldfields, which, by the aid of pipes, and in some instances, with the help of machinery, conduct the water to the places where it is most wanted, These companies, it is said, are suc cessful, but their success would be greater if they could command a sufficiency of labour to supply the wants of all applicants. They offer 15s. per day and rations, but they are unable to procure the hands they want. A hundred miles of gutta-percha tubing and a dozen small steam engines would, un der these circumstances, meet with a hearty wel come at the diggings. The mining population seem determined to be not only prosperous, but as comfortable as can be expected under the circumstances. Diggers' tents and lairs, constructed of dry branches, give way to bark and slab huts, some of them constructed in a very substantial manner, and doing, by the taste and judgment displayed in their arrangements, much honour to the impromptu architects. Log huts, too, are being built at almost all the diggings. It is hoped that the established localities will be more steadily worked by miners who have in this manner provided themselves with homesteads, and that the " rushes" to any new creak or gully which may excite attention will not in future be either so frequent or so general as has hitherto been the case. Post-office irregularities and the badness of the roads are still standing complaints with the New South Wales miners, as with those of Victoria, but the grievance which is most frequently mentioned, and most loudly inveighed against, is the license duty. In the first instance, the miners cannot un derstandinnnge that r of levying vexed question t d i ount duty l b o y n e m , e p a r n o s t e o s f t why gold should pay any duty at all. O th t a h t ers th , e le m av a a license fee is oppressive and unjust to individuals and injurious to the revenue. They complain that the unfortunate among the miners are quite as heavily taxed as the most successful diggers ; that the man who sinks hole after hole and barely makes enough to cover his expenses, is mulcted to the same amount as he who by chance hits upon a spot which pays him at the rate of 50 ounces per week. The opinion seems to be generally adopted, that if there be any necessity for taxing gold at all, a moderate export and coinage duty would be prefer able, as tending least to hinder the development of the mineral wealth of the colony. It has been sila ge:led that an export duty of 2s. Gd per ounce would prove more advantageous than the license fee. The New South Wales exports in 1852 amounted to 856,188 ounces, which, at 2s. 6d. per ounce, would give a revenue of above 100,0001. There can be no doubt, say the colonists, that this duty will eventually fall on the miner, but the tax would be more equitable, as it would affect them in exact proportion to their success. It is stated in Harnet's commercial report, that a new copper mine has been discovered, and that it is being worked by Messrs. Samuel, of Sydney. A lump of copper, weighing nearly half a ton, was on its way to that town. . The Sydney commercial reports contain some evidence of the overstocked condition of the colo nial market. About the end of May "prices were still enormously high." Brandy, for instance, left 70 per cent. profit to the importer, and case gin and rum 25 per cent., after paying all expenses. A few days afterwards enormous shipments arrived, prices of storeage increased to a very high rate, importers were compelled to push the sales, and the auc tioneers were completely smoothered with goods. . . .....__ _ _ The prices of produce and provisions were affected by the general reaction, to the signal benefit of the labouring population. - Wheat sold at 7s. ; flour at 181. and 201. per ton of 2,000 lb. ; bread sold at 6d. the 21b. loaf ; beef at 11U to lid. per lb., and mu tton at 20. to 211 per lb. The prices of fowls, turkeys, i as high English prices • they are not than the quotations of th e London markets o d s of moderate scarcity. B u t it s h ou ld b e higher s aat g periods aerti eggs, potatoes, &c., may genera ll y b e d e - e understood that those prices apply to Sydney only. At the various diggings provisions are still enor mously high, in exact proportion to their distance from Sydney, the badness of the weather and the condition of the roads. At Spring Creek, flour sold at 141. per bag in May, and the price declined in June, as we learn from the Sydney Empire, though it is not said what the exact price was when the mail left. The price of labour conti nues, i n many in stances, high toprevent the execution of useful under k ings, which, in the end, wou ld d ou btl ess b e profitable to the speculator and to th e comm unity. t under takings, The papers before us contain no regular price cur rent of labour, but a few odd paragraphs here and there suggest some valuable hints on the subject. Thus we learn that the shipwrights of Sydney struck for wages in May. They were receiving 15s. per clay and. wanted 20s. A man who wished to engage a blacksmith was told by an unsuccessful digger " to offer 11. a day and rations, or," he added, " you don't deserve to have one." It appears that in almost all other trades a like want of hands is painfully felt, and corresponding wages are given. IThe cry is still for useful emigrants. " With the exception of clerks and professional men, says the Sydney Empire, "there is an open field for almost a ny species of honourable industry. A conside rable number of ships have arrived with living car goes of both sexe s, married and single. Other ships niediately in prospect, and yet the complaint a i . s re • m any 1 general.l If s s u u ffi c h c i are en It tqisu the a n i mpos sible y to get wo r k d one i n complaints of the men of Syd ney, what must be the lamentations of the fairer portion of the colonists, since it is a fact—to adopt the words of the Empire, " that still scarcely a family in New South Wales can boast of a persevering, industrious, and trustworthy set of servants, or hardly of a single servant to be relied on ; and that the higher the wagek, the worse is the quality of service obtained ?' We learn that many families are compelled to do without servants • that others must change them from week to week. Most of the young women are unfit for their duties ; many will not even submit to be taught. While sadly complaining of this lamentable state of things, the colonists look for the cause of a grievance which touches them so nearly, and find Ain the fact that in the mother country " the domestic training of young women of the working class is not such as to warrant their employment as servants. They say, bad are the best ; and, what is worse, the de teriorated quality is trans-shipped for the benefit and at the cost of the colonies." It is the old cry of damaged goods exported for colonial consump tion—a practice which calls forth the most indig nant remonstrances at the antipodes. Another grievance is the mismanagement of the police force. Though Sydney is by far more orderly and safe than Melbourne, still the protection of per sons and property leaves much to be desired. The police are described as being neither efficient in quality nor sufficient in number. Their pay is not high enough to tempt sober, steady, and able , bodied men from other trades, and the members of the force are, moreover, frequently oppressed and alWays misgoverned. The pay of an ordinary policeman is 1/. 12s. 6d., and that of a sergeant T. per week. A policeman; if accused of any act of negligence or insubordination, is suspended from duty and from pay as long as the charge is hanging over his head ; and .it was shown, in a case tried in the Sydney Police-court, that, in some cases, the charge is thus kept hanging for a considerable time. Even if acquitted by the Inspector-General's tribunal, his pay is not refunded to him, and there fore any police officer who is accused is certain to be punished, even if acquitted ! Well may the Empire ask, " How can a respectable body of men be induced to enter into and continue in a force so badly paid and liable to such tyranny and in justice ?' Besides the notorious inefficiency of the police, there is another universal cause of crime in New South Wales. It is intemperance. The police reports show that one half of the offences against the person were committed in a state of drunken-• ness—one half of the offences against property were prompted by the desire to obtain the means for intoxication. The local papers ascribe the extent of the evil in a great measure to the carelessness of the authorities. Drunkards are in deed punished with imprisonment or fines, but the means of getting drunk are permitted to multiply ad infinitum. On the last licensing day 323 pub licans' licenses were granted for the district of Sydney alone ! The Empire complains that " the number of houses in this city licensed for the sale of intoxicating drinks has greatly exceeded what might be considered a proper proportion ;" and the Sydney 111 . 01 ning Herald, expatiating on the same theme, laments that the outrageous number of pub lic-houses prevents the establishment and success of less objectionable places of entertainment. It says : " For the legitimate entertainment of the inhabitants of this great metropolis there exists up to the present time but one theatre, properly so called. A mechanics' institute there is, but notoriously incompatible with the importance of the city, where it stands alone. Reading rooms are nearly, if not altogether, non-existent. Cof fee-houses, combining the use of all the literary and po litical publications of the day, with the supply of the ex cellent beverage from which they derive their name, are utterly unknown, and literary or scientific clubs have scarcely found a footing in the colony." That wants such as those stated above should be felt as a grievance is certainly a good sign. There is a spirit awake in New South Wales which will break through the trammels of sottishness and at tain civilisation in spite of the authorities. Even now, the most superficial reader of Australian papers must be struck with the vast mental supe riority of the masses at Sydney over those at Mel bourne and Geelong. Books, which are scarcely ever advertised for sale in Victoria, form an im portant item in the trade of Sydney. We note the names of three large booksellers advertising the arrival of Fresh supplies of English literature. The Illustrated London News, the last volume of Punch, Sealsfield's " Cabin Book," " Ida Pfeiffer's Travels," Whateley's " Logic and Rhetoric," Roe buck's " History of the Whig Ministry," Macau lay's History and Essays, the " Household Words," Dickens's " Copperfield," and Thackeray's " Es mond," are freely offered for the amusement and instruction of Australian readers, and Oxford and Cambridge men in their log huts on the Turon or the Murrumbidgee may read the " Tramp to the Diggings," and Mundy's " Antipodes," and review them on the spot. There are, moreover, French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese stan dard books offered by the purveyors of literature to the Sydney market ; and it is not too much to say that a studious person might more readily and easily procure food for th e m i n d at Sydney than in the majority of our second and third rate country-towns. Instruction, too, is not wanting. Sydney has for more than a year past had its university, . and now a preparatory col legiate school is being opened. It need scarcely be said that there is no lack of private tui tion. " Ladies accustomed to tuition," and " Governesses wanting places" abound as a matter of course. It appears that the most eminent masters of Europe have emigrated in a body to teach the young Australian idea how to perform polkas. New " manias" are faithfully reproduced at the antipodes. Diggers, stockmen, and hardhearted squatters have sighed over the sorrows of Uncle Tom, and they will no doubt, in the fulness of time, dance to the tune of " Pop goes the Weasel 1" though to learn that popular and hacknied polka is rather an expensive affair at Sydney. The pianists to all the crowned heads of Europe, and pupils to all eminent musi cians, past, present, and to come, who advertise in the Sydney papers, have a just appreciation of the value of their services. Their lessons, by the quarter, cost 2i guineas for half an hour twice a week, and 31 guineas for two hours per week—of course, at the residence of th e pro fessor, who de mands an additional guinea and a half per quarter if the pupil desires to receive his instruction at Louie. The art of puffing has made astonishing progress in Sydney. The tailors, of course, are foremost in the race. Under the heading of " Companies)" in the advertising columns of the Sydney Empire, we note what appears the prospectus of a Bathurst Railway Insurance Company, whose paid-up capi tal is quoted at 500,000/., in 100,000 5L shares. It is a tailor's puff. Mr. Pyke, of Bathurst, seeks to attract attention and custom by offering to insure " the personal appearance of ,gentlemen from all defective dress." THE NORTHERN COAL TRADE. NEWCASTLE-ON TYNE, Oct. 15.—Between 300 and44oo sail of coal-laden vessels left the Tyne yesterday afternoon, the greater proportion for the London market. The wind has been from the south-west since they sailed, and not very favourable to the progress of their oyage. London coal freights are from 10s. 6d. to 11s. 6 . per ton. A private i letter, received here from Crons dt, states that there are a great number of British vessels there, and that vessels which left here with coati at high freights have some difficulty in finding a market. The high freights to London do not appear to be ,consequent upon our English shipowners flaying a monopoly of the coasting trade ' • for during the past three months coal-freights have been equally high to ports in north Europe, the carrying-trade to which is open to all the world. Most intelligent shipowners are so satisfied with the operation of free trade principles that they are not at all alarmed at a suggestion for throwing open the coasting trade, and only regret that they lost the Californian trade with the eastern States of America because of our coasting trade being closed to the Americans. HORRIBLE CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS.—"Up till Satur day last from Monday preceding,. the town of Newport had been the scene of a numergibs and truly frightful chapter of accidents, almost unparalleled in its history. Accident upon accident, all fatal in the results, have succeeded each other. On last : the engine-driver was smashed to pieces on the local railway, his arms, thighs, and head being literally crushed to atoms. On Monday a driver fell off an engine on the same line (the Western Valleys) ; his head was severed from is body, and his abdomen: frightfully mangled. On Tuesday a man dropped dead in Charier-street. On Friday a man named Wm. ',Reeves an excavator, who was employed at at the Letty - shenkin mine, while lowering seine stone by a cram from some or other happened to let go the handle, which struck him on the face and head, and he was killedupon the spot. Nearly lall the sufferers were married men , and the last nnfortu nate fellow has left a wife and five small children. DEATH OF LIEUT. HUTCHINSON BY DROWNING.— Intelligence has been received at the Royal Artillery Barracks, Woolwich, of the death of this young officer, whilst cruising in his pleasure yacht in the Australian rivers, a sudden squall of wind catching the sails, and upsetting the boat, the whole of the hands on board perishing. The bodies were afterwards picked up, and have been buried "with military bonours.— : -.Kentish , Mercury, - HINCKPORD AGRICULTURAL AND CONSERVATIVE CLUB. The anniversary of this old Conservative Club was celebrated on Friday, by a dinner at the Bull Inn, Castle Hedingham, a small hamlet in North Essex, long the great rendezvous of the Conser vatives of the county, where the "Essex Ten" were wont to meet and rejoice over the fact that both divisions of the county and every borough in it returned stanch protectionists as their represen tives to the Commons' House of Parliament. Prior to the dinner ploughing matches took place in fields abutting upon the Sudbury road, and prizes were distributed to deserving labourers and ser vants. As one of these illustrates in some degree the vexed question of the wages at present paid to agricultural labourers in this part of the kingdom, it is given here : " To the agricultural labourer of good character in the service of a subscriber, and not in the receipt of more than 10s. per week, exclusive of harvest, who has sub scribed the longest time to a medical club, 1./." Mr. G. Round, of Colchester, presided at the dinner, and. the attendance was numerous and respectable, although not so great as on many pre vious occasions. The usual loyal and patriotic toasts were drunk with enthusiasm. _ . Captain WAY returned thanks for the "Army awl Navy." The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the toast of the evening, " Success to the Hinckford Agricultural and Conservative Club," said that he took a suffi ciently vivid interest in the affairs of the county and the boroughs within it to be able to offer a few remarks in reference to their present position, which was one of most extraordinary novelty, when compared with that time last year. At that time Lord Derby was at the head of the Government. (Cheers.) A strong, and powerful, and true body of Conservatives were at the helm, and it was hoped and fondly believed that those reckless and ruinous courses which had been adopted to the prejudice of agriculture would have been in some degree stemmed and averted. (Cheers.) But that had not been the case, and they now found them selves the most powerful and important interest in the country with a Government that had no sym pathies with them, with every party as it were hostile to them, with war almost on their shores, and with a high price of corn, which they well knew was neither the result of men nor of politics. The toast was drunk with all the honours - . The Rev. J. Cox, M.A., of Fairstead, in acknow ledging the toast, observed, after a passing allusion to matters of a personal and only local interest, that it would seem that the system of persecution to which they had been exposed at the last election was only the beginning of a series of complicated affronts and persecutions which were .to be adopted towards them by the Whig-Radical party. They were aware of the gross indignities to which his hon. friend Sir J. Tyrell, and his right lion. friend Mr. Beresford, had been subjected at the List elec tion. (Cheers.) Ho hoped he should never see the like again, because he did say now, quietly looking at it through the vista of one year, that it was disgraceful to all those who'had been concerned in that business. No sooner, however, were the elections over than the present Attorney-General moved for a committee to inquire into the conduct of Mr. Beresford with regard to certain proceedings at Derby. As that question yet remained to be tried before a legal tribunal, he would not enter further into it than to say, that in the whole history of party warfare, party persecution, and party spite, there never had been anything at all to be com pared with the virulence with which his right hon. friend had been persecuted. (Loud cheers.) The question which the select committee of the House of Commons had to try was, " Is Mr. Beresford guilty, or is he not, of being concerned in the bri bery which took place in the borough of Derby ?" That was the issue. Was lie guilty or was he in nocent ? But, what was the course taken by that Whig-Radical committee with a Peelite chairman ? They were obliged to find that his right hon. friend was totally exculpated from any share in the bribery transactions at Derby, yet they could not forego their itching palm, and so great was their love to finger something which might be detrimental to the Conservative party, and destructive to his right hon. friend, that, though they pro aounced him " Not guilty," they concluded their verdict with a most severe censure upon his conduct. (Cheers.) He said that such a pro ceeding was unheard of in the whole Parliamen tary history of this kingdom. (Cheers.) But that was not sufficient. His right hon. friend was to be indicted as a criminal for entering into a con spiracy to bribe the people of Derby. As that, however, was an issue which yet remained to be tried, he was precluded from saying anything upon it. Even that was not enough to satisfy the ani mosity of their political opponents, but they must present a petition against the return of his hon. Friends, Mr. Ducane and Mr. Miller, for the bo rough of Maldon. (Cheers.) Mr. Cobden said, if we had free trade we should have peace all over the world, because it would be the object of the Emperor of Russia, who was the great lock-keeper of the Danube, to sell us his corn. In place of that, however, the Emperor said—" I hold the keys of the granary of Europe. I'll do what I please, and you dare not touch me—if you do I'll starve you." This it was which accounted for the vacil lating and truckling conduct of our Government on the Eastern question. (Cheers.) As to the uniformity of prices, he defied any of them to re collect the time when within six months corn had risen 100 per cent. He contended, then, that the prophecies of the Freetraders had been much more at fault than those of the Conseivatives. He knew that party was at an end with the present Govern ment, because they had no principle, but were a mere combination of Peelites, Whigs, Radicals, Pope's bands, and a variety of other little conglomera tions, constituting a knot of persons in Parliament whose object was the destruction of the Conserva tive party. (Cheers.) Under these circumstances, it was the duty of the Conservatives to hold fast by their principles and to join with none of them ; leaving them, Whigs, Radicals, Peelites, and all, to fall into the " Rogue's March" played by the Pope's brass band. (Loud cheers and laughter.) The position of the present Government was this, that they were bound hand and foot to the Pope, and without his sanction they dared not make a movement. Witness the Canada Clergy Reserves Bill, the Charitable Trusts Bill, and the humiliat ing letter of the Premier to Messrs. Monsell, Keogh, and Sadleir. They must erect, then, the Conservative party upon the great platform of the Protestant institutions of this country. (Loud and prolonged cheering.) Any man who supported the present Government should be looked upon as aiding and abetting in the overthrow of their Pro- testant institutions. The CHAIRMAN called upon the meeting, after the excellent speech they bad just heard, to drink a special toast to the Rev. John Cox. The toast was drunk in a bumper. Mr. A. MAJENDIE, of the Castle, in an eulogistic speech, proposed " The health of the County Members," and read the following characteristic letters from two of them. The first was from Sir J. Tyrell "Rougham-hall, Oct. 9. " I am sorry frankly to admit that I l;,ve neither heart, spirit, nor courage to attend your meeting at Hedingham on the 14th. I fear that many friends will Your meetin g in de r: and agricultural, and I h ave a f ew words think passing th e in — t h o e th c e o rs u n , ty. that 1 1 ,. i r s e rent to w Conservativehat is to say upon that subject. The Conservative party is so completely demolished in the House of Commons as a party, that it must be reformed before it can be a com bined party. If I am asked what has brought about that state of things, my answer is, the perfidy and in sincerity of conduct and action of many of that party, who talked loudly on the hustings of confidence in Lord Derby, and who were afterwards in the lobby of the enemy defeating by their countenance the proceedings of the most strenuous of our leaders. Under these cir cumstances, our moral influence as a party has vanished. Undoubtedly, I acted like the cabmen—struck work, and perhaps you may say abandoned my duty. I admit that I am too old to enter the lists, and I have seen too much of party conflicts to attack those in our ranks who, though their motives may be sincere, have, in my opinion, acted a part inconsistent with their declarations, which excited cheers from the hustings, and caused_extraordi nary exertions to be made to secure their return to Par liament. It is not impossible that we may ere long, from the present relative state of the party, be awakened by some attack upon our own Protestant liberties, or by the din of war, mainly brought about by the antiquated in.. imbecility of the head of the Cabinet, whosei Russia y France, and pathy with the Orleans party has encouraged rely upon a division between England and of Russia. would at once leave Turkey at the disposalr had Lord This state of things would never he . u s t o , 1 Government bound Derby remained in office, England has to pay in suPPed.tori&ians—that is, of men by a combination of tradingo berin office on any principles and . tha av t is ° the penalty that whose great object was la or at any price, elite of the Irish party.

The following letter, dated Chacapogas, August 17, has been published in the Panama Star, headed with the following remarks : "In the last summary of Peruvian news we gave some information relative to the extraordinary discovery of gold in the bed of the River Amazon. Since then we published, in the Spanish part of our paper, a letter giving further particulars relative thereto, which, being of considerable interest, we translate to-day, although we in no way vouch for the correctness of the statements contained therein : " 'Don Mariano Aguilar left this on the 10th instant, to commence the opening of the road to the river Amazon, with the $2,059 granted by the State for that purpose. d within two months we sha ll be on the shores " 'The important da y which shall enrich the north is near,of the an river Santiago de Borja, travellin g over its gold en sands, and in th e midst of the rich and fertile plains of the majestic "'A person travelling by the river Ucayali, fo r P a . rare , has disco v ered, a short distance from the shor e o f Amazon. the said riv er, a chalk hill, which at first appeared to him to be of little importance ; but as a pastime he took e p i e ces for examination, when, what wassur prise.l several pieces at finding a gold ring on ist his ar fi nger h apparently must contain conver ted into si ver. ~ 'lt at once struck him that this h quicksilver, and he continued to inspect further i n t o th e hill, until his surprise was fu r ther in to a la yer ence, aof fine quicksilver, f creased by com i ng c ircumn d - ----) on mor o some twenty yard s i n found in variou s parts of th e hill drops o f qu i c k s il ver fil among the h er b s , yellow earth, partly co ncea l e d c, `W ith in five days sufficient force to D r.
