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 may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequenc 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 scien oocannot 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 s the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical 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 empirics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreignnames and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.

Among the vari ous preparations offered for the purpose, ROWLA.NDS' ODONTO, or Pearl Dentifrice, stands unrivalled In its capability of embellishing, purifying, and preserving the teeth to the latest period of life. Pre pared from Oriental herbs, with unusual care, transmitted to this country at great expense, this unique compound will be found to eradicate all tartar and concretions, impart a pearl-like whiteness to the enamelled surface, remove spots of incipient decay, render the gums firm and red, fix the teeth firmly in their sockets, and, from its aromatic influence, impart sweetness and purity to the breath. It is important to observe, that when used early in life, it effectually pre vents all aches in the teeth Pnd gums, effaces spots and discolourn tion, eradicates scurvy, and, in a word, soon realises the chief attri bute of health and beauty—a Fine Set of Pearly Teeth.

GLOUCESTER, JULY 14.--In the midst of torrents of rain, which continued to descend steadily till 2 in the / a a ft er noon, the cattle yard was th own open to the public this morning. Considering the s to of the weather, and that every step was taken mucl more than ankle-deep in mud, the attendance was s rprisingly good, great eagerness being shown to ascert n the merits of the dis play and to know whether in t4e quality of the stock exhibited the meeting bore th same high character w hich it had achieved with resp tto implements. The manner in which the rules ado ted, at the late Lord Ducie's suggebtion, for disquali ing animals too fat for breeding purposes, would ope e was also looked for ward to with much interest. f N regret to say that the 1 expectations formed of the sho have hardly been re alised. There is reason to believ that the rules referred to have frightened away several our best breeders, and Mr. Townley 's name may b e e pecially mentioned as missing from the list of short-han exhibitors. As will be seen, however, from the awards which we subjoin, the most successful competitors of former years are the men who still carry away the chief prizes in their respec tive classes ; Mr. George Turner; of Barton, takes the lead in North Devons, and Mr. Jonas Webb in South downs, Mr. Sanday in Leicesters, and so on in the other divisions. The truth is that thequestions of merit and over-feeding are quite distinct from each other, and, however Lord Ducie's rules ma operate, they are, not at all likely to displace the lirqd-earned pre-eminence which our best known stock breeders have already obtained. • The following is selected fro?. the list of first-class prizes : SHORTHORNS.

The Pavilion Dinner took place yesterday at four o'clock, and, as usual, was very well attended. Nearly 1,000 agriculturists assembled on the occasion, the chair being of course filled by Lord Ashburton, president for the year. Mr. Pusey, the president elect, was pre vented by illness from being present, and other disap pointments also took place ; but among the company present we observed the American Minister, General Arista (of Mexico), Judge Halliburton, the Mayor of Gloucester, the Earl of Powis, the Earl of Harrowby, the Earl of Leicester, Earl Beauchamp, Lord Bridport, the Marquis of Bath, the Earl of Jersey, Lord Berners, the Earl of. Suffolk, Sir John..-§hellek * . the_Hon. B. R. Clive, the Hon. G. C. Agar, Sir M. Ridley, Viscount Hereford, Mr. Mullings, M.P., Sir Lionel Darner, Sir Thomas Acland, Sir John ,Bailey, Colonel Challoner, Mr. Raymond Barker, Mr. Foleyi M.P., Mr. Hippesley, Mr. Alcock, M.P., Mr. Clifford, M.P., Col. Rushout, M.P, Mr. Hampden Turner, Mr. Portman, M.P., Sir W. Codrington, M.P., Mr. Cobbold, M.P., Professor Johnston, of Durham ; Professor Vocicker, Professor Brown, Professor Way, Professor Simonds ; IM'Gregor, Chairman of the South-Eastern Railway, Mr. C. A. Saunders, Mr: J. L. Vaughan, Sir Peregrine Adand, and Sir John Duckworth. The usual loyal toasts having been given. Loyd ASHBURTON proposed " The Foreign Ministers," to which His Excellency the AMERICAN MINISTER responded at full length. He complimented Lord Ashburton, and referred by terms of high praise to the high services which the late lord had rendered both to this country and the United States by the settlement of the boundary question. Mr. Ingersoll then alluded to the agricul tural productions of America, reminding the farmers that it was not too much to ascribe the prosperity of England, and especially of her manufactures, to the millions of bales of cotton which America sent over to her. If they desired more, his countrymen would grow more and more to supply that demand, and to cultivate those relations of increased friendship which the cotton trade was calculated to promote. There was no danger for a century or two, at least, of the demand on the one side or the supply on the other failing, notwithstanding the production of Egypt, India, and Western Africa. He was informed that the exports of cotton from Alex andria was 500,000 bales, a largo amount certainly, compared with the crop grown in America, which was 300,000. In 1860 this amount would have another million added to it, and in Egypt the productive ground was covered by the plant, so that the land of the Pha roahs and Ptolemys would not interfere in this respect with the land of the Washingtons. His Excellency having referred to tobacco—of which they grew in the States 260,000,0001 b.— said that when a wet season, or any extraordinary and unpropitious event rendered f it de sirable for this country to call on the Americans for their eatables, they would produce them to any extent. Of rice, which was in itself the aliment of one-third of the human race, his countymen produced 200,000,001 b. ; of wheat, 100,000,000 bushels ; and of maize, or Indian corn— that which came to the relief of the Irish people during the famine-600,000,0000 bushels per year. The soil of England contained, he believed, 46,000,000 of acres, but in the United States there were of public lands alone belonging to the Government, and ready for sale, 1,370,000,000 of sores. A political philosopher had once predicted that England could not support 10,000,000, and she had now doubled that number; but if her popu lation went, on increasing he invited her agriculturists to come over and visit the United States, and to stay as long as they pleased, for they would ind a hearty welcome there. (Cheers and laughter.) Besides the vast numbers of their countrymen now settled in the United States, amounting to near l y 1,000,000 f r om Ire land, and 250,000 from England —he bade them re member that its constitution and laws were such that any individual who came among them, attached to good morals and in the practice of them, might attain nearly every political distinction, and certainly would acquire every social right possessed by him here. (Cheers.) His Excellency then referred to ships, which, he said, were drawn from the primeval forests , as much as corn was drawn from agriculture, and which was now bridging over the ocean, rendering the . voyage between England and America so short that no one hesitated to take it, ' and so agreeable that no one found it otherwise than .;:delightful. In a country like his, where there was abundance of soil to be found, and where science and art as applied to agriculture were eagerly cultivated, they would always be proud to emulate the farmers of England, who stood at the head of the agriculture of the world. (Cheers.) His Excellency concluded by giving as a toast "The Royal A 3ricultural Society." Sir M. RIDLEY having proposed, in very complimen tary terms, " the health of the President." Lord Asintuititorr responded. The Earl of HARROWBY spoke to the toast of the " Labouring Classes," pleading, with much earnestness, their claims to be more cared for, better housed, and better educated. Their increased intelligence would raise their efficiency as workmen, and enable employers to meet that great change in the labour market which was now in progress. Sir R. MURCHISON, K.S.A. said, he saw that they were all very well acquainted with " Sam Slick," and he would therefore give "Agricultural societies through out the world," and calling on Judge Halliburton to respond to the toast. Judge HALLIBURTON returned thanks for the welcome with which the company greeted him, and which was, even for the society's pavilion, unusually cordial. He said that it was customary to give some "notice of mo tion" in such cases, and, if he had received it, he would have come a little more prepared, though perhaps he would not have made so natural a return. He compli mented Sir Roderick Murchison on his scientific ac quirements which had enabled him to predict the gold fields of Australia, at which thousands of their country men were now digging, while the farmers of England supplied them with food. Politicians claimed for them selves the merit of the high prices, but politics were not the bread of life. (Loud cheers.) During the war, when high prices raised up the farmer,' it was because the un productive class were so numerous—because the army, the navy, and the number of people in the public em ployment bad to be fed. The same unproductive class has again arisen, though from different causes ; and let t not politicians take the whole credit of the results to themselves. His books had been referred to, but he never could have written them if he had not spent his life in the country, and never lived in towns, but among his countrymen the farmers. (Cheers.) He loved them, and from, the , opulent farmer to the log hut his happiest days had been passed in their so ciety. It was by talking to them and knowing their feelings and prejudices—for they had their pre- judices—(laughter)—that he had acquired some insight into the human heart, and had been enabled, they said, to put it in his books. (Cheers.) Agriculture was the most simple, the most innocent, and the most honourable employment of man—(cheers)—and, though he could not say that he had contributed anything to twards agricultural shows, a little wooden clock be had exhibited to his countrymen with moral lessons which, he hoped, had done them good. (Cheers and laughter.) These moral lessons, read by the English as well as the American farmer, showed the value of time, the hours of work, , and the hours of recreation, and how to have ;an extra hour and an extra dollar where it was wanted, :and if; as there were in all human machinery defects, this little wooden clock had one which ought t o b e copied— 'it was that it went on tick. (Much laughter.) He ha. not the honour t o b e an E n glishman. H e was a nat i ve lof another part of the world ; and 150 years ago his forefathers left these shores. Whether they slipped off at the time of the assizes—(great laughter), or whether one of his cloth helped them over at the public expense, there was no one now old enough to say, and therefore perhaps it was as well not to make too strict an inquiry. (Laughter.) His Excellency had talked of that country being able to receive a portion of the population of this ; but for his part he should like to work back—it would be his delight and happiness to do so, and he would not be sorry, provided it was for no moral delinquency, if one of his brother judges sentenced him to be tran sported back to England. (Cheers and laughter 4 He had never spent two such delightful days in his life as attending at the present meeting. As a practical farmer, fond of the cultivation of the soil, he had come to Glocester purposely from Scotland. (Cheers.) It gave him great pleasure to state, without attempting to say anything civil or to flatter, that in the last 10 years the improvement which he observed was beyond any thing that he could recollect, and that it was more marked among the lower orders than in any other class. They were better fed, better clad, better paid, and they re spected themselves. If he might be permitted to men tion so trivial an illustration he would take the notice in St. James's-park, which he saw the other day—" The public are requested to protect the birds and the trees in this plantation." No "man traps and spring guns," nor prosecutions were mentioned. When at Lough borough he saw a similar notice—" These grounds are for the benefit of the people, who are requested to pro tect them." Such evidences showed that the people respected themselves, and deserved the respect of their superiors. (Cheers.) When he looked at the improve ments that had taken place and the period at which they had arrived, when there were no prejudices against machinery to be awakened—when the day of the demagogue was gone—when there was no idle, lazy, and pauper population to excite—and when therefore tthheesdeemagogues improvements co g could do d neoeperthan m mischief—heaany supposed sked,did not ? He had trespassed too long on their patience, and he would conclude by thanking them again most heartily for the honour they had done him. (Cheers.) Lord Powis proposed "The health of the President Elect," Mr. Pusey. Sir JOHN SHELLEY, in a spirited speech, expressed the obligations of the society to the railway companies for their co-operation, and concluded by toasting them. Mr. SAMUEL BAKER, chairman of the Dean Forest Railway, returned thanks. The ;Wards for stock having been announced by Mr. BRANDRETH GIBBS, honorary director of the show-yard, the proceedings of the banquet terminated. OONVE.RSAZIONE AT THE MANSION-HOUSE. Last night, the city of London, through its Chief Magistrate, honoured itself in honouring the literature and science of the kingdom. The Mansi on-house in vited all that is distinguished in letters and arts. Artists and writers—intellect and learning—the masters of science, practical and theoretical—congregated in a splendid metropolitan circle. The present Lord Mayor (Alderman Challis) has on previous occasions welcomed the working educationists of the metropolis. We have had recently to record his well-considered entertain ment to the London schoolmasters and schoolmistresses. The interest of that party perhaps exceeded in moral dignity his concluding conversazion e ; the graceful tribute of matter to mind, which was exhibited in the educational gathering, remains unsurpassed in its pecu liar- appropriateness. But certainly last night's assem bly was a worthy completion of this series of well planned entertainments. The nobility of rank and the nobility of acquirements met together ; and the tribute to those who, through the press, influence the public mind, was a worthy conception, and well car ried out. The present mayoralty has exhibited a praise worthy innovation on the stiff luxury of civic festivals of the ordinary type. It is a thankworthy sign of the times that corporate munificence is learning the better way ; and the city of London, in throwing itself into the stream of educational progress, under its several aspects of education, art, and general literature, is doing much to retrieve its character. Commercial pursuits too frequently have been found to deaden the mind in the exercise of its higher faculties, and to the recognition of the finer and more ennobling arts of life. Municipal corporations have a wide field of influence, which has been too long left barren ; but the example set by the metropolis will have its value in the provinces. And though it might be said that such a convcrsazione is but a small testimony to the intellectual powers of the age to characterise in such terms, yet it embodies a principle which will have its way—the principle that society in all its spheres has duties of a practical character to those upon whom, after all, not only the national credit and historic honours depend, but to whose hands, for good or for evil, are entrusted the destinies and interests of mankind, and with them the stability of all our institu tions. Such assemblies are at least a testimony, however imperfect, to the great truth that commerce and trade depend for their extension and continuance on the culti vation and application of the higher powers of the mind —on art, learning, and science, as well as on empiric practice and traditionary skill. It seems that nearly 3,000 cards of invitation were issued for th:s occasion ; and such was the well-thronged appearance of the Egyptian Hall, which was illuminated with more than usual brilliancy, that there could not ha,ve been less than 2,000 persons present. Amongst the company were—Dr. Spohr, Sir Charles Barry, Mr. E. H. Baily, R.A., Mr. Bennoch, Dr. Bowring, Mr. Edgar Bowring, Dr. Bernays, Sir Henry Bishop, Mr. Peter Berlyn, the Rev. P. Booth, Mr. Dudley Costello, Mr. Monckton Milnes, M.P., Mr. David Roberts, R.A., Sir Charles Eastlake, P.R.A. Mr. Augustus Egg, Mr. F. Stone, Dr. Forbes, Mr. VV. J. Fox, M.P., Mr. George Godwin, Mr. Charles Knight, Dr. Mackay, Mr. Hart, R.A., r. T. K. Hervey, Professor Forbes, Mr. John Martin, Dr. E. Lancaster, Dr. W. Smith, Mr. T. Landseer, Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Hall, Dr. Southwood Smith, Mr. T. J. Searle, Mr. Robert Bell, Mr. Windsor East, and many other gentle men equally well known for their successful efforts in the schools of literature and the liberal arts. It would be fruitless, however, to attempt to give a complete list of all the "celebrities" present ; many, whose public works are conspicuous to the world, being content on an occasion like this so to mingle with the general group as to render it impossible that their persons could be particularly noted. A large number of members of Parliament were present ; and amongst them the Duchess of Sutherland and the Duke of Argyll, tte Turkish Ambassador, the Prussian Ambassador, the Greek Ambassador, the Bishop of St. Asaph, &o. It would be superfluous to enter into a deta 4 :l of the various objects exhibited on the occasion, as tide greater portion of them have been seen at former coriversazionea; but the tribute of a line is justly due (;) a selection of pictures, in which the works of David Itoberts, R.A., Linnell, Sydney, Cooper, Maclise, and Barker were amongst the most conspicuous, and theists were gracefully accompanied by specimens of sculpture by M Dowell, Adams (whose bust of the Duke of Wellington is an object of much attraction), Marshall, Foley, Daily, and others. Included in the objects of art should be mentioned some beautiful statuettes in biscuit, from the establishment of Mr. Copeland, and also some reproductions of the old Wedgwood ware,' which latter were particu-13,rlyi admired for their beauty of form and sombre depth of colour. One of the great merits of the general arrangement was the judi cious manner in which the various articles were distri buted throughout the rooms, especial care having been taken to avoid the possibility of too many persons being thronged together in one spot. Thua the fine arts were exhibited on the lower floor, whilst the models and apparatus were displayed above stairs ; and in these de reading, being m a d e to arithmetic, de partments the works of t he p u p ils w ho have received, or are receiving, thei r education at the sc hool for teachin g the blind to read excited much int erests ma n y o f t h e pupilssvits s being their successful present,and effortsthe company in music, and other branches of instru c ti on _ . The various departments of science were effectually represented, and there was sufficient evidence in the plan which had been pursued to give to the conversazionc the character it was intended to bear—that the entertaiamma was the result of much care and discrimination. --- WARRANTS TO OPEN LETTERS AT THE POST OFFICE. —Yesterday a return showed that from. November 1848 to May last, six warrants of the Secretr,ry of State were granted to open or detain letters at, the Post Office. One warrant in November, 1848, sigt led by Sir George Grey, in a case of embezzlement, appZiicable to one per son. Ono warrant in August, 1849, by Sir George Grey in a case of murder, applicable to one p erson. One war rant in November, 1850, by Sir George Grey. to return a letter to the writer. One warrant in. November, 1850, by Sir George Grey, in a case of fraudulent bankruptcy, applicable to one person. One war rant in January, 1853, by Lord Palmerston, to retui Ti a letter to the writer, and one warrant i n April last, signed by Lord Palmerston, in a case of embezzlement by a country postmaster, applicable to one person,.

Wil mot, from the coast of Africa, is daily expected . at this port to be paid off. The merchant schooner Loyalist, Captain Reeves, of Plymouth, built by Messrs. William Moore and Son, arrived in the Sound yesterday, 13 days only from New foundland, having had two days' calm off the Land's end. She has a general cargo fontsmdon. The steam vessel Lady Eglinton, from Liverpool, had arrived all well at St. John's, and had proceeded for Quebec five days before the deparZure of the Loyalist. The pilot-boat Heroine, belonging to this port, saw a large screw line-of-battle ship and two frigates yesterday afternoon, between. 3 and 4 o'clock, six leagues south of the. Dodman. The ship, supposed to be the Duke of Wellington, 131, Captain H. B. Martin, C. 8., was under three topgallant-sails, three topsails, and fore and main course, steering about west by south, with a smart breeze from E.S.E. One of the frigates was a league ahead, and the other a league astern of the ship. WOOLWICH, JULY 14. APPOINTMENT. Lieutenant Edward Scroggs (1847), from the Tra falgar, 120, on the Mediterranean station, to the Ter ribble, paddle-wheel steam-frigate, at Woolwich. The Cyclops, steam-frigate, having taken on board a large portion of the engines, of 400-horse power, made by Maudslay, Son s and Field, for the Princess Royal, 90, screw steam-ship, left Woolwich this morning for Portsmouth, where they are to be fitted to that ship. The fitting of the engines of 600-horse power, made by John Penn and Sons, on their principle : for the mag nificent ship the St. Jean d'Acre, 101, with screw pro peller, has been so quickly executed, that she got up her steam and the engines were set in motion at Devonport on Wednesday last, and performed most satisfactorily. The engines are exactly similar to those manufactured by that firm for the Agamemnon, 91, screw steam-ship, and it is expected the St. Jean d'Acre will be ready in a few days-for trial at sea. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—Yons, JULY 13. Jacob Ashbury, aged 34, was charged with having, at Sculcoates, in the East Riding, on the 2d of June last, married Jane Wheldale, a young woman of respectable connections, his former wife, Eliza, being still alive. The jury returned a very of guilty. His lordship felt it his duty to pass such a sentence as would mark the gravity of the crime, and he would, therefore, be transported for seven years. William Johnson and Mary Cartwright were indicted for unlawfully abducting Judith Kay, a girl under the age of 16 years, from the possession of her father. Mr. Darnborough appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Shepherd defended the prisoners. It appeared that the male prisoner had been a " navvy' on the Thirsk and Malton Railway, and the female prisoner was the wife of another " navvy," and they all resided at the village of Thommanby, in the North Riding ; the prisoner Johnson lodging at the house of a grocer named Kay.. Kay had a daughter, who was described by her mother to be only 14 years o f age, though in appearance she might have been taken to be 17 or 18. Between her and Johnson an inti macy had sprung up, which the parents had observed, and objected to on account of the girl's youth. But Johnson offered to marry her, and several times proposed to her to leave her father's house, which she refused to do for some time, till the female prisoner called upon her and persuaded her to go off with Johnson, saying that if she was in her place she would do it. Partly from this persuasion, and partly from her own inclina tion, the girl agreed on Saturday, the 16th of April, with the female prisoner (who said that Johnson and all of them were going away the next day) that she would join them after church on the Sunday, at a little dis tance out of the village, and would put her clothes out of the window that night, so that Johnson could take them away ; and accordingly the next night the girl Went off with Johnson to Gainsborough, whore she spent the night with him, the female prisoner a,nd her husband lodging in the same house. On the girL being missed the police were put in motion, and the3r were traced to Gainsborough, where th e g i r l was taken from Johnson's bed. Mr. Shepherd submitted to his lordship that there was no "taking away-" of the girl within the mcraning of the statute. His Lordship, however, referred to the case .af the " Queen v. Mantelow," reported in 22 Law Journal, M.C., p. 115, in which it was held that the girl was in possession of her father, though voluntarily meeting her lover, till she went off with him, and that was a, suffi cient taking within the statute. His Lordship having summed up,_ The jury found both prisoners guilty. His Lordship, in passing sentence, severely animad verted on the conduct of the female prisoner Cartsirright, owing to whose persuasion the girl consented to leave her father's house, and it was to her conduct that', the girl's ruin might be attributed. The male pri oner's offence was less, for he offered to marry the girl ; the female prisoner would, therefore, be imprisoned am d kept to hard labour for two years, and the male prisot ter for six calendar months. James Hanson, aged 32, was charged with having, on the 14th of March last, at Bradford, feloniously wounded Sarah Firth, with intent to murder. The jury returned a verdict of guilty. The sentence of the court was that he be transworted for life. Mr. Justice Wightman was occupied in disposi ttg of a road indictment, and other eases of no interest. IMPORTANT TO VISITORS TO 021013. HAM AND VIRGINIA WATER:. CHERTSBY SESSIONS.-JULY 13. Thomas Stanwood and his wife appeared to ail infor mation laid under the Turnpike Act by Mr. Jam: s Wil ling, for having, at the Virginia Toll-bar, exacted a return fare of is. 4d. on the afternoon of the 9th of June, for a c arriage and four •h orses, a simit ar ton having been paid for the same vehicle ()kits first p sassing through the bar. Mr. Horne, Clerk to the Trust, defended and raised a preliminary objection to the complainant givi ntg evi dence. Mr. J. Willing stated that was his fourth apptr,srance in reference to the case, because technical oblections had been previously raised ; but he was determi t ted to have the question decided, being of public import tance, and the defendant having obtained a very large so tm of money from the public illegally. As to Mr. 11:, orne's present objection, he would not trouble the magi% crates to go into it, as there were witnesses now pres 4 :nt to state all that was necessary to give jurisdiction- He therefore called Mr. Philip Willing and Mr. Bradfield, who wie re in the carriage on the day named, stated that oxi the vehicle first passing through the toll-bar, a to 11 of ls. 4d. was demanded and paid. On the return o f the party, a second toll was asked. Mr. James W illing produced the first ticket, and demanded to pass; hse was refused, and paid the second toll on compulsion. De fendant—Thomas Stallwood's name only was up .a t the bar as collector, but his wife received the money,, and acted under the orders of Mr. Jackson, the toll in spector, who was present. On cross-examination by Mr. Horne, it was deposed that both carriage a , id horses belonged to inemb ars of the party accompanying the witnesses, and that :there was no plying for hire. Mr. Horne then objected that the case had fail oil, for that an office copy of the tolls, exhibited at the bar„ had not been given in evidence, and because the wifb had received the second toll when her husband was tl se col lector, and the husband, therefore, was not respoi Lsibl e. The magistrates having inspected the tickets, a il .d re ferred to the act of Parliament, The Chairman said they were unanimous that :A. clear , case had been made out under the act; the p ublilc had ! to thank Mr. Willing for the trouble he had take n, and they should fine the defendant 20s. for taking tho toll [illegally, 20s. 6d. the expenses of the summon a, and order the expenses of the witnesses attending: from London also to be paid.

The change of troops took place yesterday under cir cumstances little calculated to inspire the incoming di vision with any especial admiration of camp life. The rain, which had fallen in torrents during the previous night, continued without intermission throughout the morning, and at length reduced the whole field to such a marshy condition that the Lieutenant-General consi derately countermanded the order which had been issued to strike tents, and the whole were left standing by the retiring regiments for the accommodation of those who were to succeed to their occupation. On Wednesday night the officers of the Cavalry Brigade gave a grand dinner to the Duke of Cam bridge in their mess tent, which was gaily deco rated with cuirasses, lances, shabraques, sabres, &c. About 90 sat down to an excellent entertainment, furnished by the brigade suttler, Mr. Cole. Among the officers present were—Colonel Cotton, Brigade- Major; Captain Clifton, 7th Dragoon Guards, A.D.C. ; Deputy-Assistant Ccmmissary-General Crookshank, Brigade-Commissary ; the officers of the Ist Life Guards, Carabineers, 13th Light Dragoons, 17th Lancers, and those in command of the detachments of the Royal Horse Guards (Blue), the 4th Dragoons, the Scots Greys, and the Bth Hussars. The ban& of four regiments attended, and played a variety of favourite music during the dinner. After the cloth had been drawn, Colonel Hall, of the Ist Life Guards, proposed the health of - her Majesty, which was drunk with all the honours. The gallant colonel next gave the health of their illustrious commander, the Duke of Cambridge, passing a high eulogium upon his Royal Highness's intimate knowledge of everything connected with the service, and remark ing upon the great esteem in which the Duke was held by all ranks of military men. The toast was most enthusiastically received. His Royal Highness, in reply, thanked the company for the honour paid to his name. He felt greatly indebted to the Cavalry Brigade for the admirable manner in which they had conducted them selves during the past month ; and he had no hesitation in remarking, that all the credit which belonged to them arose from their own exertions and their own high state of discipline. In making this observation he re ferred to the rank and file as well as to the officers of the several regiments. (Hear, hear.) He did not shrink from confessing that he had personally derived much benefit from his experience during the last month, and he believed he had acquired a practical knowledge of warfare which nothing sho:t of actual service could have given him. His Royal Highness said he trusted all pre sent would remember the friendly and brotherly feel ings which had prevailed at that board, and that those he had the happiness of seeing round the mess table would hereafter look upon him not only as a brigadier commandant, but as a perconal friend. (Cheers.) After paying a high compliment to the household troops, and remarking upon the excellent understanding which existed between the brigade of Guards and their brethren of the line, his Royal Highness dwelt particu larly on the good conduct of the troops, and, while re pudiating any desire for war, expressed his satisfaction at knowing that he might have the command of such men on service. Other toasts followed, and a very agreeable evening was brought to a close some time after midnight. The Duke of Cambridge slept on the ground, and was busily engaged as early as 7 o'clock yesterday morning in superintending the movement of the various regi ments. The Ist Life Guards, the Carabineers. the 17th Lan cers, and the 13th Light Dragoons vacated their quar ters at an early hour, and gave place to the incoming cavalry regiments, all of which were housed before two o'clock. The outgoing infantry regiments were on their way to the various railway stations before 10 o'clock, and the ar rivals continued throughout the day without intermis sion. It would be scarcely possible to conceive a more wretched spectacle than some of the corps presented after having been exposed to a pitiless rain for several hours. But for the humane concession of the Lieutenant- General allowing the tents to remain standing, the most lamentable consequences must have followed. The whole field and its approaches presented the appearance of a perfect swamp, and all the roads in the lower por tion of the encampment were completely flooded. The conveyance of the baggage belonging to the va rious regiments over the disgraceful roads of this vicinity was a matter of great difficulty, and horrible cruelty was practised upon some of the poor horses attached to the carriers' waggons. In one case, where a civilian int9r fered to protect from brutal treatment an animal greatly overladen with artillery baggage, he was most unwar rantably seized by a bombardier and marched nearly two miles between a couple of privates with drawn swords. On reaching head-quarters he was of course immediately set at liberty, but not before he had assured the officer with whom he was brought into communication that proper means would at once be taken to obtain satisfac tion for the gross outrage of which he had been the victim. CITY Or LONDON TRADESMEN'S CLUB.—The annual dinner of this club, which is one of a convivial character was held last night at Anderton's Hotel, Fleet-street. The chair was occupied by Sir John Key, the newly elected Chamberlain, who took an o pp ortun i ty o f thank ing the meeting for the kind assistance he had received on a recent occasion. The health of Sir John was en thusiastically received, and the evening was spent in mutual good humour. 7 'l7l‘D AUSTRA OF GOLD ON Yesterday a very serious loss was announced at Lloyd's, which, for a time, created Much anxiety, in con sequence of the number of passengers, and the valuable freight of gold which was known to have been shipped on board the unfortunate' ship. She was -the Condor, Mr. Leighton commander, a fine , vessel of nearly one thousand tons burden,- the property of Messrs. Gibbs .- and Bright, the Great Britain owners, of Liverpool, and while on a voyage from Australia to London, with some fifty or more passengers, 89,0001. worth of gold, and a cargo of wool and other .merchandise, she took fire on appioaching the Line, and was totally destroyed.' Proridentially all on board, with the specie, were pre- ,served.. The Condor left Melbourne for England about • • the first week of last April, and according to the piapers • which had been • received announcing IZer departure, her passengers comprised Mr. and Mr,. • Wickham and family, Mr. and MrB. Pellett and r4iikl, Mr. and Mrs. Bidgood, Messrs. Smith, Faulk zr, Mann, Marshall, and Mrs. Malcolinson, and 35 in the second cabin. The voyage was prosperous enough, and there was every likelihood of it s b e i ng a mor e th an ordinarily favourable one. On the ship hearing the Line, however, about the 10th of June, her position being lat. • ' 5 S., long 25 W., the startling discovery was made that she was on fire in 'the hold. A brief examination sufficed to tell that it . -was raging amongst. the baled of Wool. Every means were adoptedi in the bope of suppressing it, but all efforts failed, the destructive element having - evidently obtained a general hold of the cargo, defying all the exertions that could then be brought to bear by the crew in extinguishing it. The preservation of the passengers, crew, and the gold on board, had pre viously occupied the attention of the master, and the order had bees given to prepare the boats and have them in readiness to meet any sudden case of emer gency. At this critical juncture, the burning ship attracted the notice of a French barque, the Charles and Pauline, M. Mains plaster, which was bound from Granville to some poi:t on the, adjacent coast of South America. She immediately bore down to the Condor, and laid top. Mire appearing no probability of saving the ill-fated vessel, as thefire kept increasing and extend mg •over .her, .the passengers were sent on board the, barque, and the boats were then employed in the tran shipment of the boxes of gold. This being successfully accompliAed, the whole of the.specip ,being saved, the crew were eventually compelled to 'abandon their ship, the heated state of the decks having prevented them re maining by her any longer. In a short time she burst into a general body of flames and was destroyed. . _ _ The Charles and Pauline, with he increased and valu able freight, then made all sail for the nearest port, and on the 15th of June succeeded in reaching Pernambuco, where all were safely landed. The authorities then investigated the services rendered by the barque, and awarded her the munificent sum of 12,900/. as salvage. There is little doubt that the fire arose from spo n t aneou S ignition among the cargo of the Condor, as was the case with the ship Adelaide, from Australia, whose extraor dinary escape from destruction was reported a short time since. The Condor is understood to be heavily insured. FATAL FIRE IN DERBY. On Wednesday evening last, a fire broke out in the extensive silk manufactory of Joseph Davenport, Albert street. A considerable time expired before any water was procured to play upon the flames, the extreme height of the building (six stories), and the delay in getting the hose ready, allowing time for the flames to make such rapid progress, that all chance of saving the top story was gone before the water was brought effec tually into play on the building. It appears that all the floors in the mill are fire-proof, being made of brick, and arched over. This fact caused a number of daring men to ascend to the top story of the mill for the purpose of saving the silk, and also for con ducting the water to those parts where the fire had gained the greatest head. The ceiling being above them, they felt confident of their safety ; but, shocking to `relate, about 7 o'clock the roof fell in, and the weight of it falling on the first ceiling caused it to fall into the top room, bury ing under it the poor fellows who were so praiseworthily exerting themselves to save the mill and the property in it. On seeing the roof fall in, the greatest shudder went through the crowd, the conclusion being that the poor fellows were burnt to death. The attention of all was now directed to trying to rescue them if they were alive, and ladders were joined together, but owing to the extreme height of the mill, a long time ensued before they could be raised to the top story. In the meantime a most agonizing scene en sued. A poor fellow was seen at one of the top windows with his coat and waistcoat off, and all in flames. The sight was very painful, and will never be forgotten by those who witnessed it. The roof had fallen in, and the room was all in a flame, and there stood the poor fellow in the midst of it. 112 got one of his legs out of tho window and then the other ; he then forced his body through, and at last hung suspended from the window 'sill by his hands. A shriek from the crowd announced that he had thrownhimQf - down, pushing himself away from the window by a sudden leap, so as to prevent his head from dashing against the mill in his downward progress; he came to the bottom, a distance of 70 feet, with -a tremendous force. His fall was broken by a bale of cotton that lay in the pa - MT - from which he reboUnded on his back to the stones beneath. He was immediately taken up, put into a cab, and conveyed to the infirmary. No hopes are held out of his recovery. Amongst the men who were in the top story at the time the roof fell in was Mr. Thorpe, of the firm of Eyre and Thorpe, silk-throwsters, Full-street. Mr. Thorpe had been very active in trying to save the silk, when the roof fell in as he was walking along the top room. He took refuge in the water-closet, along with the man Mead, who jumped through the window. They were both enveloped in flames. Mead cried out for water to put the flames out that were blazing on his body; and Mr. Thorpe, though burnt equally as bad himself, went again into the room, and found a jug with a small quantity of water in it, which he threw on Mead, which made the pain excruciating, and his cries were most piteous ;he exclaimed, "Oh dear we shall all be burnt to death." Mr. Thorpe then left him, to try to save his own life. He took his coat and waistcoat off, and tying a handkerchief round his mouth to prevent suffocation, he made his way to the window at the Te nant street end, where a ladder being raised he broke through the window, and came down without the assist ance of any one, amidst the cheers of those below. His finger-ends were very much burnt, and his head was cut open through a piece of timber falling upon it.. He was conveyed to the infirmary, but afterwards, at his own request, he was taken to his residence in Sitwell street ; wo are glad to hear that he is likely to reco ver. Another young man named George Bennett was in the room, but not daring to jump down, he walked through the room in the midst of the flames, and was taken down stairs. He was immediately conveyed to the infirmary, when it was found that he was severely burnt on the legs and thighs, arms, hands, and shoulders. The fire also got into the interior of his body. No hopes are entertained of his recovery. A third man who was in the room made his escape down the chim ney ; he received an injury on the head. A fourth man, named John Webster, had his wrist hurt. One person was pulled out of the flames by a man named Peak, in the employ of Mr. E. Davenport. The fire was subdued between eight and nine o:clock, without penetrating any of the lower stories, but a great quantity of silk and machinery was damaged through the body of water that was sent on to the Wilding. Mr. Davenport's stock in the top morn w as i nsured in the Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Fire - Office for 5001. The mill, which was erected in the year 1790, is the properly of Messrs. Strutt, Belper. It is not in surest in any public fire-office. The damage to the stock and building is roughly estimated at 2,0001.- RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE. A. special meeting of this company was held at Bir mingham yesterday, by adjournment, for the purpose of considering a bill to extend the time for the purchase of lands and the completion of works. Mr. R. C. Chawner occupied the chair. By this bill it was proposed to ex tend for three years the time for completing Cannock, Wyrleydind Norton branches, in order to develope the mineral resources of the districts through which they pass, and to bring on to the main line of the - South Stafordshire Railway, for distribution among the manu facturing parts of South Staffordshire, the Ooal and other minerals from Cannock-chase and the neighbour hood. Mr. M,Clean, their lessee, had agreed to accept a lease of them, if authorised, paying a rent equiva lent tore 2 interest of the money expended on their construction. The directors stated that they a pplied for these powers in consequence of a pledge given in the last session of Parliament, by means of which they succeeded in procuring the rejection of a parallel line projected by the Staffordshire, Derbyshire, and Worces tershire Railway Company, and they were satisfied that, unless these branches were constructed by the South Staffordshire Company, they would in a fu turc session , be conceded to rival parties, who ,was t wo uld be enabled thereby injuriously to interfere with the traffic of the South Staffordshire Company. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the second meeting the shareholders the bus business, had said uponthis he necessity of making the Can nock branch. The directors had issued circulars, i n order that there might be a larger attendance on the present than on the last oc casion, and that there might be no o b struction to the bill then before Parliament. They had, however, on Tuesday, un fortunately received information from their solicitors, that the committee of the House of Lords, before whom the bill was, had come to an ex traordinary decision, reversing the practice which had prevailed since 1836, and that the bill, upon a technical objection under standing orders, was stopped, and not allowed to proceed. The present meeting was, there fore, of little importance, inasmuch as they were pre vented from proceeding with their bill during the pre sent session of Parliament. After a few observations on the very satisfactory state of the traffic on the line; the meeting separated. RAILWAY BILLS IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS.
