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 Unfruitflil Marri lfge3, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their Mess modifications owe their almost, entire origin.

The loyalty of the Spaniard is one of the great national passions which has withstood the shocks of time. With his bigotry, his bull fight, and his paper cigar, it makes him amends for the absence of much political knowledge and much political ambition. There is in this passion of loyalty—for feeling we must not call it—something that carries us back to the East in earlier epochs of Oriental history—to the climes where all save one were slaves, and that one the master—the sovereign ruler and dispenser of riches or poverty, life or death. But, as if the Eastern notion of loyalty had not been sufficient in its intensity, in the heart of the Spaniard it has been commingled with the burning enthusiasm of the crusader. Well nigh eight centuries elapsed from the time the Goth Roderick lost his kingdom to the Moor until, under the walls of Granada, its restoration to the domi nion of the cross was completed by the arms and policy of Isabella and Ferdinand. During all this period there was acted on the very soil of Spain the same drama which for other nations was played out in Palestine. If, then, the spirit of the Cru sades has left indelible traces upon the genius of the other western nations, each of which only en gaged in them a small contingent and dispatched it to the world's end, what must be the case with the Spaniard ? His great battles of religion were fought upon his own soil ; his Bosworths, his Nasebys, his Marston Moors, were in the Castiles or in Andalusia. Hence the spirit of chivalry be come stereotyped in Spain, and 'exists evencto' tin) present day, despite the corruption of the magis tracy and the pettifogging iniquities of the various stock-j obbing associations which have succeeded each other in the supreme direction of affairs. Misled as they have been by their civil rulers, misguided by their priests, trained to butchery by the partisan leaders in the civil wars, the Spaniards are still a noble race. They acquiesce in Royalty as the inevitable guide and supreme authority of human life, as Eastern warriors were wont to acquiesce in it. They bow their heads submissively to Destiny clothed in human form, and tricked in regal attire. More than this, it is with them a devotion —an affection. They love their queen—or did so once. Time was when the Spaniard was as Othello, without the Moor's capacity for jealousy ; he would once have brooked no questioning of the Royal Desdemona who was the incarnation of the historic glories of his native land. Strike at her, and you struck at the chastity of his wife, at the good name of his daughter, and bespattered with dirt the escocheon of a family which was an old one in Castile in the days of Alonzo the Wise. Let no son or daughter of a Constitutional Go vernment,—let no disciple of " balanced powers," —let no pupil of the ingenious Abbe Sieyes affect to sneer at the intensity of a feeling which is be yond his comprehension. The imagination of the Spaniard colours up objects to the tone of his own glowing climate. He believes what he feels. It would have been as useless a task six years back to lead him to "a just estimate of the capacity and character of his Sovereign, and of the general effects of .her administration," as it would have been to reason with a dancing Dervish at Constan tinople upon the ultimate object of his contortions. Nor can it be denied that in a political point of view this exaggeration of loyalty has had its good effect in binding together the various provinces of the Spanish Monarchy, which would scarce have acknowledged any other bond of union. It would require another Sismondi to chronicle the jealousies and reciprocal heartburnings of the Castiles, of Arragon, of Catalonia, of Andalusia, of the other Spanish provinces ; they have been held together by two:ties only—the one is religion concentrated into bigotry—the other was loyalty, exaggerated into an ardour of unquestioning devotion of spirit and of soul. We are now witnessing the spectacle of the decay and extinction of Spanish loyalty. That which the imbecility of the Fourth Charles and the selfish brutality of Ferdinand VII. could not effect has been accomplished by a young woman and a Queen. The task of extinguishing so remarkable a feeling as that of the loyalty of the Spanish name was no easy one. Misgovernment would not have done it. Your Spaniard is as accustomed to misgovernment as to his cigarito. We question, indeed, if good government—that is, government upon the London or Washington model—would not have irritated him into rebellion more quickly than any given number of acts of rigour. Corrupt the constituencies—dissolve the Cortes—censure the press—gag the Tribune—a Spaniard can do very well without these institutions, and would as soon have thought of rising against the throne of Isabella the Catholic on account of their absence as he . would have done had his Royal mistress denied him the enjoyment of souchong and hung beef. Acts of cruelty and dragonnades would not have done it. Queen Isabella might have laid provinces waste, and massacred the inha bitants, and the bulk of her subjects would have esteemed it right royally done. A Queen who was ready to dismiss her loving subjects to the repose of the garotte chair, or the amenities of a shootin g party, would have had all their sympa thies. Queen Isabella might have laughed at law and order, justice and humanity, and her subjects would not have hissed her in her opera-box, as they did the other day. It was on the 18th of the present month that a Spanish Queen endured this last indignity at the hands of her people. There had not of late been more than the usual amount of corruption in the various departments of Govern ment. What has happened in the course of the last few weeks had happened twenty times before, but at the bull-fight and the Opera, on the Ala meda and at the gates of her palace, the Queen had enjoyed immunity from censure—for censure was insult. So great had been her offence,—so deeply had she wounded the punto d'onor of the Spanish race,--that they had no alternative but to remain silent, or to blow away the loyal traditions of eight centuries with a breath. The Queen entered the Royal box with her consort—with the consort of Louis Philippe's finding. She stood prepared for the usual loyal demonstrations. The splendour of the scene was mechanically suspended that the Royal March, according to custom, might give time and harmony to the glad acclamations of her sub jects. But from all sides of the hall—of a hall crowded with the most illustrious personages of Spain—a cry of aversion resounded. There should be no march played. There should be no glad cry of welcome. Where the Queen of Spain looked for cheers her ear was greeted with hisses and expres sions of disgust Basta, bastes de eso !"—" We have had enough of this 1"—" Que continue la opera !"—" Let the opera proceed !" Was it in sensibility—was it scorn ? The Queen did not change countenance. Not so the husband of the Queen by registry and in name. Not so another person in that house, who at the present moment occupies a post at Madrid for which no name is given in the hierarchy of Spanish dignities, al though a Spanish muleteer would be at little loss to supply the requisite denomination. There stood the successor of Charles V., glancing down upon the people, who were cursing her in their hearts, and hissing at her with their lips, with no one to rely upon save the person who for the moment had succeeded to her favour. All this passed at Madrid on the evening of Tuesday, the 18th of the present month. No single act of imprudence could have pro duced such a result. The loyalty of the Spaniard was so deeply seated that it could not be oblite ratedastsoindgrafg theolly or a passing crime. It was Spanish crown very long through very miry spots indeed before the nation wou ld have risen against its wearer, as though treason necessary a P had been committed agains the repose of a private family. This is not the first time that the nation had witnessed the spectacle of notorious profligacy in the highest station. But t bad as have been the previous instances of such disregard of all obliga tions, no Spanish Queen has as yet loved to exhibit the living proofs of her successive acts of shame before the eyes of a nation. Now, there is no poetry possible for the Heloise of many Abelards. What wonder, then, that the loyalty of the Spaniard, being such a passion as we have de scribed it to be, should have been converted into its opposite by so shameful an exhibition ? As the feeling was a personal one, so it is much to be feared the retribution may one day be. We, who regard Sovereigns with a more tempered feeling of respect, and who most fortunately have never oc casion to think of our Sovereign but of a lady as spotless in her life as she is eminent in station, can scarcely comprehend what a revulsion of feeling m ay lead to in such a case as this. The conduct of the Sovereign is felt as a personal disgrace by every Spaniard in the solitude of his own dwelling. Such i s not quite the end of the " Spanish marriages " —of that politic scheme for the sake of which a a t Minister sacrificed his character for great probity, an d a anble Monarch one of the first crowns in Christendom. RELIGIOUS PRMECUTION IN TUSCANY AN I,°•SWEDEN. DEPUTATION I,ro LORD CLARENDON. Yesterday afternoorp deputation from the Evan gelical Alliance waiteoilkuPon the Earl of Clarendon, at the Foreign-office, to press their gratitude for tho liberation of Miss Cunn &tine by the Government of Tuscany, and to call the attention of the Foreign Secre tary to circumstances whioh have transpired relative to the oppression of religious dissidents in Sweden. The deputation consisted of tfie following gentlemen :—Sir Culling Eardley, Bart ,- ; Mr. G. Hitchcock, London ; Mr. G. Henderson, Glasgow ; Rev. Dr. Steane, hon. secretary of the Evangelical Alliance ; Rev. Dr. Black wood, Rev. Peter Latrobe, Rev. J. A. James, Bir mingham ; Rev. Carr Glyn, rector of Witchampton ; Rev. Dr. Duff, Rev. J. Jordan, and rector of Enstone. The deputation having,been introduced to Lord Cla- rendon, Sir C. EARDLEY saic.he had had the honour of wait ing on his lordship son time ago, with a deputation, on the subject of Miss Cunninghame's arrest in the tern tory of the Grand Dube of Tuscany. He was glad to see that the tables weni now turned, and that the young lady who had been a piisoner was now free. On hear ing of this, of course s his immediate impulse was to express his belief and hope that she owed her liberation to the remonstrances of the British Government. But in reverence to this therp were two questions that met them. One was of time, for they were not quite sure whether his lordship's despatch could have arrived in time to effect the objedt at which it aimed ; but that was, of course, no affair of theirs, for if the kindness Were *he - 6d was _ , the "iiriiniediate cause `of` the effect produced 0 r not was very immaterial. Another question w4B, whether the liberation of Miss Cunninghame had been produced consistently with principles which the deputation could, to use a Scot tish legal phrase, homologate—in other words, whether it had been granted .by the Grand Duke's Govern- went as a mere matter of course, or whether it had been asked and conceded in the name of the English Government. He hoOd his lordship would understand that they did not say this with any purpose of dictating to the Government —a- view which would be incompa tible with their duty as English Christians--or with any wish to extract from his lordship any disclosures that might be prejudicial to the public service. But their feeling was—and they looked at the matter unanimously in this light—that they ought not to do anything incon sistent with the views of those for whom they acted, and their hope certainly was that the liberation had been effected on the demand of the British Government, and not as a favour granted by the Grand Duke of Tuscany In the belief that that had been the case, he begged to assure his lordship that the deputation felt they owed a great debt of gratitude to the Government for vindicat ing the privileges of British subjects by setting the lady in question at liberty. The Earl of CLARENDON said in reply— Sir Culling Eardley, you are quite right in thinking that my dis patch did not arrive in time to be acted upon by Mr. Scarlett, but he had received private letters upon the subject. There was not the least doubt about the course we should pursue, however, and that course was com municated to the Tuscan Government, but it was after Mr. Scarlett had obtained the release of Miss Cunning hame. lam sorry to see that there have been some attacks made against Mr. Scarlett for the course he has taken, which, I must say, appears to me to have been very judicious. He represented to the Tuscan Govern ment that Miss Cunninghame was ignorant of the law for the infraction of which she was apprehended, that the law was a most harsh and cruel one, that its application to her was extremely wrong, and that the people of Eng land would take up the case as one of great injustice to a fellow-subject. He pointed out the manner in which it would be looked at in this country, and strongly recommended the Tuscan Government to do mot ppoprio what must otherwise be insisted upon as an act indispensable for our satisfaction. It is not for me to dive into the motives which have induced the Duke of Tuscany to liberate Miss Cun ninghame. I can only say it appears, as far as my dispatches go, that the conduct of the Tuscan Ministers was extremely creditable to them. They quite approved of Mr. Scarlett's efforts to obtain her liberation, and assisted in every way to forward the measures he took for the alleviation of her position, and for enabling her to see her mother. Except as regarded the privation of liberty, there was nothing, as she herself told Mr. Scar lett, that she had to complain of. I really cannot pre_ tend to say what motives they were that induced the Grand Duke to yield, but Miss Cunninghame was liber ated. I have heard since that the judges were likely to give an opinion in her favour, which, of course, nobody could have had reason to anticipate in the first instance. I do not certainly know that they were about to do so ; indeed, I should think it rather doubtful ; nor do I know what were the motives of the Tuscan Government. I know that my dispatch was communicated to the Tuscan Government, as an earnest of what might be expected if Miss Cunningham° was not liberated. Upon her being set at liberty, they at once acceded to Mr. Scarlett's re quest. She was first desired to quit the country, but Mr. Scarlett said he thought it would be very hard to force her to do so, and asked that she might be allowed to remain with her mother, who was ill. This was at once acceded to, and I do not know that she has left Lucca, but believe she still remains there. I think there has been a manifestation of sentiment, on the part both of the Government and people of7this country, sufficient to leave no doubt on the minds of the Tuscan Govern ment as to the light in which the matter was viewed by us. Sir C. EABDLEY said the inquiry of the deputation did not so much relate to the grounds taken by the Tuscan Government as to the position assumed by our own. They could not dive into the motives of the Tuscan Govern ment, but what they wished to ascertain was, that such high language had been held by our own as would satisfy the expectations of the religious community of this country. The Earl of CLARENDON—I can only repeat what I said to you, as I did to Lord Shaftesbury, that Ido not think any British subject has a right to go into another country and refuse to observe the laws that prevail there. The laws may be as cruel and harsh as possible, but if British subjects do go there of their own accord and live, they cannot disregard those laws altogether. Sir C. EARDLEY begged to observe that there was a great difference between the act of a Government that protected its own laws by turning those who disregarded them out of the country, and that of a Government which punished such trespassers by imprisonment. The Earl of CLARENDON—I do not think it quite ap posite at this moment to argue these points. The ques- tion is, whether the law exists, and whether a Govern ment has a right to make an exception for all foreigners as regards the observance of the law. We should not do so in this country ; we require all foreigners to com ply with our laws. My language hi this case was that it was a melancholy thing that such a law should exist at all, and still more so that it should have been recently enacted—that it was melancholy to think that persons in high places should bring themtelves to believe that such proceedings could be agreeable to the Almighty, or could be in harmony with the mild doctrines of Chris tianity. I said that the cruel provisions of the !law were probably not known to Miss Cunninghame or her friends, and that I trusted to the good feeling of the Grand Duke of Tuscany that she should be immediately set at liberty. Ido not know that he was the instigator or promoter of the act in the first instance. Sir C. EARDLEY said there had been strong reason a priori to think he probably was, as he was known to be actuated by feelings of intense bigotry- The Earl of CLARENDON—•I have no reason whatever to say so. Miss Cunninghame was arrested, and imme diately the affair took its legal course, as one of police. Who was the instigator of it, I have not the least idea. Sir C. EARDLEY then called his lordship's attention to the conduct pursued by the Swedish Government to wards religious dissidents in Sweden, which appeared to be very much of a piece with the conduct of the Tuscan Government towards the Madiais and Miss Cutininghaine, with this worse feature, that Tuscany acted in the dark ness of Papacy, whereas Sweden acted in the light, or at least with the profession, of Protestantism. They wished to state a few facts communicated to them by the sufferers in Sweden, who had appealed to them to take up their case, which would appear to amount to a complete denial of religious liberty. They had it in contemplation to make a proposition to the Diet that was about to assemble in Sweden at the beginning of December. He should call upon his reverend friend to state the facts. The Rev. Dr. STEANE said that in the northern parts of Sweden a number of persons were at present holding religious meetings, some of whom still continued mem hers of the Lutheran or Established Church of Sweden, whilst others bad formed associations amongst them selves for the due administration of religious ordinances. In the latter case the law of the country was distinctly violated, because no dissent was allowed in Sweden ; Roman Catholics and Baptists, for example, were ex pelled from the country, and he knew instances in which this had been recently done. With regard to the other case, it was scarcely less a violation of Swedish law to hold religious meetings out of the church, without the presence of the pastor, and at uncanonical hours. The people were doing this, and for doing this they were subjected to confiscation of goods, imprisonment on a diet of bread and water, and, for a third offence, banish ment for four or five years. The Earl of CLARENDON—Is this for dissenting from the Established Church ? The Rev. Dr. STEANE said those of whom he spoke were not dissenters—they did not baptise or dispense the Lord's Supper. He spoke of those who still con tinued members of the Lutheran Church, but held vo luntary meetings for religious worship, w hi c h was con trary to the law, and for which they were subjected to severe fines and imprisonment. In a single village not less than fifty peasants had been fined 30s. each ; and it must be observed that this was a heavier fine in Sweden than in England. The doctrine of the Baptists was, that no person should be baptised except on a personal pro fession of his faith ; and as the peasants refused to take their children to be baptised, persons were sent who seized the infants, and carried them off from their mothers' arms to the Lutheran Church to be baptised, the peasants being visited with severe fines for not taking them voluntarily. Sometimes their goods or. cattle were taken to pay the fees of baptism and the expenses of seizure, and the consequence was that in the province of Norrland the whole community was plunged into a state of apprehension and dismay. The religious meetings to which he alluded were frequently held on the Lord's-day, and in that case a double penalty was incurred—first, for having met at all ; and next, for a violation of the Sabbath ; and, in some cases, parties bad been prosecuted for the double offence. Sir C. EARDLEY--His lordship would allow them to ask whether it would be legitimate for them directly to present a petition or representation of facts to the Diet, or if they must apply through the channel of his lordship or the ambassador at Stockholm ? The Earl of CLARENDON said this must depend upon the regulations of the Diet—whether foreigners would be allowed to come before it by petition. If the depu tation would allow him, he would make inquiry into the circumstances, and give them the best advice he could after ascertaining them. The facts were new to him, but he had the means of making inquiry, and should not fail to do so. The Rev. Dr. STEANE observed that the facts were certified to them by associates of the Evangelical Alli ance abroad, with names of persons and localities. With his lordship's permission, he;would submit a statement of them in writing. The Earl of CLAREXDON said this would be a great assistance. He might mention that he had been waited upon by deputations with petitions from Scotland, complaining of acts of oppression com mitted in Denmark, Hanover, and he thought also in Wurtemburg. He took charge of those petitions, which were directed in each case to the sovereign of the country concerned. He sent them to her Majesty's Ministers at the different Courts, with such instructions as he thought likely to be useful, and he had been in formed in each case by the British Minister that on communicating with the Ministers of the sovereign to whom he was accredited, the facts were invariably re pudiated, and he was informed that nothing of the kind existed. The British Minister also stated that the facts alleged took them by surprise, that no such complaints had ever reached them, or had been heard of in society, and that, consequently, the petitions were sent back as not applicable. He thought it right to make this known, in order that the persons who had communicated to him the petitions of which he spoke might be aware of the exact tenor of the information which had reached him ; and without some specific facts being furnished, he should not think it right to take any further steps. From none of the parties in question had he ever re ceived any additional information. The fact of the de putation being able to refer to some authority in the present case, as a guarantee for the authenticity of the statements, was, therefore, of great importance. Sir C. EARDLEY assured his lordship that circumstan tial details of the facts had been communicated to the managers of the Alliance. The deputation then retired. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 27. The Princess Royal, 91, got up her steam in the basin to-day and tried her machinery, which has been fitted by Maudslay and Field. It worked remarkably well. The Terrible, 21, Captain M'Cleverty, was coaled to_ day at Spithead, from the Orestes depot, and will pro vision to-morrow for the Mediterranean. PLYMOUTH, OCT. 27. Her Majesty's brig Arab, 12, Commander Ogle, and the Dolphin, 6, Lieutenant Commander Webber, put into the Sound yesterday afternoon from Portsmouth, both bound to the coast of Africa. The Arab is short of hands ; the Dolphin has some defects to be made good. A fatal accident occurred yesterday afternoon in Hamoaze. Mr. Sutton, engineer of the dockyard, was assisting to refit the screw of the Agamemnon, 91, when the fan unexpectedly turned over, and struck him on the head and chest with so much force that be expired in a few minutes. Mr. Sutton was in the millwright department, and has left a widow and six children. This morning, at 2 o'clock, a 60-gun screw steam-fri gate, under steam and single-reefed topsails, wind strong from the southward, was observed close to Penlee, going up Channel. On her weather quarter was a bark-rigged paddle-wheel vessel-of. war under steam and single-reefed topsails, apparently in company. At 5 30 this morning a paddle-wheel steamer, bark rigged, under steam and three topsails and topgallant sails, was seen going up Channel. She was rather short, had painted ports, and a king figurehead. No name on stern, and bore the American ensign at her peak. WOOLWICH, Oct 26. APPOINTMENTS. Assistant• Surgeon George B.

On the 17th inst. the rev. doctor commenced his examination in this dockyard, and, on concluding the following day, ex pressed himself much gratified by the general progress and good answering of the apprentices, which he attri buted, not merely to the zeal of their unwearied master, Mr. Macavoy, but to the steady interest which Com modore Henry Eden and the school committee take in their advancement. The professor was attended in his d examination both her e a n d i n D e ptford by the dockyard chaplain, the Rev. James C. Connolly. The Monkey steam-vessel, in chargerr of the Second to take Master Sallener, went up to Greenwich to-day o-da A . y dam, for on board the furniture of the late Sir C r_l al the purpose of conveying it toßu division of Roy rut . slia'and,e near Leith.

(Continued from our First Edition of yesterday.) Mr. Justice Creswell summed up, and the jury, after deliberating in the box for about a quarter of an hour, returned their verdict, finding the prisoner guilty of murder. Mr. Harker, the principal usher, immediately made the usual proclamation, and the prisoner was called up for judgment. SENTENCE OF DEATH. His Lordship having put on the black cap, addressed the wretched prisoner, and said, that he had been found guilty by a jury of his country of the crime of wilful murder, committed on the person of his wife, whom he had sworn at the altar to love, cherish, and protect. He wished he could have discovered in the case one single circumstance of palliation, but he had been utterly un able to do so. It appeared that he had been married before, and that he had children who were the issue of that marriage. He had been married a second time to the unhappy woman whose death had been that day the subject of inquiry, about sixteen months ago, and there was nothing whatever to show that she had acted other wise than as a kind, gentle, and careful mother to his children, and indeed the expression of " Oh, mother, mother," made use of by one of them at the time when he was committing this dreadful violence showed that she was regarded as a mother by the children. The evidence left no doubt that when he was under the in fluence of drink, and that on almost every occasion when he gave way to that beastly propensity, he mani a the habit of exercising the most gross and unmanly violence towards this unhappy woman. It had been sought to palliate his conduct by an insinuation of infidelity on the part of the deceased, but he was bound to say that the evidence did not disclose one tittle of proof in sup port of such a suggestion. There was not even the miserable palliation of his being in liquor at the time the offence was committed. Having driven his unhappy wife from her home on the previous evening by his brutality, it appeared that in the morning when he bad had time for reflection, so far from showing any contri tion, he again commenced his unmanly conduct towards her, and he continued it until probably his own brutal violence incited him to the commission of the fatal act which terminated her career and his own. He had now but little time to live, and he exhorted him to prepare for a fate as violent and almost as sudden as that which he had inflicted on his victim. The learned judge con eluded by passing sentence of death in the usual form. The prisoner, who did not during the trial or at the passing of sentence exhibit the least emotion, was then removed from the bar. MANSLAUGHTER. Joseph. Birch, 22, and Caroline Wood, 22, were jointly indicted for the manslaughter of a child named Richard. It appeared that the child, whose death was the sub ject of the inquiry, was an infant eleven months old, and was the illegitimate child of a woman named Banks. The prisoners, who were in very poor circumstances, lived together as man and wife, occupying one room in a house in Little Dean-street, Soho, and it appeared that the mother of the deceased had placed the child under their charge, agreeing to pay them two and sixpence per week for it. The infant was first placed in their care on the 4th of October, and it died on the 14th, and upon an in quiry taking place as to the cause of its death certain matters were disclosed which resulted in the committal of the prisoners upon the present charge. According to the evidence of other lodgers in the house in Dean-street, and persons who lived in Bond-street, Southwark, an other lodging to which the prisoners removed with the child, at both places they were in the habit of slapping and otherwise ill treating it, and from the testimony of the surgeon there was no doubt that this ill treatment had had the effect of causing such a state of excitement in the child as to produce congestion of the brain, which resulted in its death. According to the statements of some of the witnesses, they had remonstrated with the prisoners upon the cruelty of their conduct towards the unhappy infant, but the only effect was, that both the prisoners abused and threatened them in such a manner, that they were afraid to interfere any further. The jury found both the prisoners guilty, and Mr. Justice Williams, after commenting upon their brutal and barbarous conduct in indignant terms, sentenced them severally to four years' penal servitude. THE QUEEN OF THE TEIGN. In the course of the day the grand jury ignored all the bills preferred against the officers of the Queen of the Teign for murder, and at the same time returned a true bill against two Lascars belonging to the same vessel for unlawfully cutting and wounding. The grand jury shortly afterwards concluded their labours, and were discharged from further attendance. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. —Elizabeth Lucas, a well-dressed mar ried woman, was charged with creating a disturbance and damaging the confectionary at the shop of Mrs. Warne, 112, High Holborn. The prosecutrix said that at five o'clock yesterday after noon the defendant came to the shop, and pointing to a very large bun in the window, expressed a wish to have it, and put down a penny in payment. Witness declined to ".pick and choose," but told defendant that if she thought proper to take sixpenny worth, the big one should be included. The defendant objected to this, and demanded the monster bun, because it was placed among the others, which were ticketted " One Penny." Wit ness declined to serve her, and then defendant began picking up the buns one after another, and pelting wit ness across the counter. Her conduct attracted a crowd of at least 150 people, and about ss. worth of buns were destroyed by being strewn over the shop and broken to pieces. No policeman could be got for more than half an hour, but eventually the defendant, who ap peared under the influence of liquor, was given into custody. The defendant, who fainted during the examination, said that the buns were chiefly broken by the prosecutrix herself, in resisting her. She considered that she had a perfect right to pick out the bun in question. Mr. Henry considered it unfair to put a large bun among the penny ones, and then refuse to sell it at the price at which they were ticketed. The defendant's husband said she was a rather excit able woman, but a very good wife upon the whole. He did not believe she was ever drunk in her life. Mr. Henry ordered her to pay the damages, which was done, and she was then discharged. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Joke Rudd, a well dressed young man, who described himself as a clerk in the Ordnance-office, Woolwich, was placed at the bar before Mr. Hardwick, charged with being drunk and assaulting Mr. Aaron George Jones, 29, Soho-square. The complainant stated that about 7 o'clock last night he was crossing Regent-street, into Air-street, when the defendant, who was drunk, pushed violently against him, and on his remonstrating with him, he (defendant) called him by an offensive epithet. Complainant, not wishing to be assailed by such disgusting language, walked on into Piccadilly. The prisoner followed him and repeated the offensive language. Complainant, feeling intimi dated by defendant's conduct, called a constable and gave him in charge. In answer to the charge, defendant said he was very sorry for what had occurred ; but he had been drinking with some friends and had forgotten himself. He was fined 40s. The money was immediately paid. Henry Ossultre, a well-dressed person of foreign ap pearance, who stated he was a near relative of an ad miral now on service, was brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with having assaulted the police, and otherwise misconducting himself in the public streets. Inspector Monkton (C division) said—About three o'clock that morn i ng h e was i n t h e H aymar k e t, when a he found the prisoner surroun d e d by a mob of persons in i state of intoxication.

Lyon, Pleasant-row, Mill-bank, with intent to com mit folony, and further with assaulting another constable. Complainant said that between 11 and 12 on the previ ous night his servant girl informed him that a man was getting over a fence on his outhouse. He immediately called out, and was answered i n re ply, " It' s a ll r i g h t ; hold your tongue." He found defendant on the parapet CONGRESS OF MECHANICS" INSTITUTIONS. TAMWORTH, WEDNESDAY. The annual congress of the Midland Association of Mechanics' Institutions was held in this town yesterday. In the morning, a meeting for business matters took place at the Town-hall, attended by about fifty delegates from Birmingham, Derby, Wolverhampton, Stafford, Worksop, Grantham, Lutterworth, Lincoln, Leicester, Chesterfield, Nottingham, and other places in the Mid i land counties. The Earl of Yarborough presided at the commencement of the proceedings, but was soon after wards succeeded by Sir Robert Peel, Bart., the Presi dent-elect for the ensuing yfar. Suggestions of a prac tical character were discussed, some of which it was thought expedient to adopt in the conduct of the va rious institutions, with the view to increase their effi ciency and usefulness, and a very general concurrence of opinion was expressed on the subject of the advan tages which had been found to result from this annual congress. In the afternoon the delegates visited Drayton Manor, on Sir Robert Peel's invitation, the celebrated gallery, containing portraits of his illustrious father's distin guished contemporaries, being opened to public view. A conversazione took place at the Town-hall in the evening. Sir Robert Pee] in the chair. Amongst the company were th'Earl of Yarborough, Sir H. Wilmot, Mr. Adderley, M.P., Mr.. M. Arilnees,Ama,mr.

Sir ROBERT PEEL first addressed the company. Un like a conference which had recently been held elsewhere, they had assembled to devise the best means of promot ing the cultivation of the peaceful arts and sciences by the working classes in the country. This assembly had neither for its object the crumpling up of Russia, nor the protection of the Ottoman empire ; the far nobler object they had in view was to stir up a spirit worthy of the working classes of this great country in respect of that which most materially affected their interest, their happiness, and their general welfare. What this asso ciation had, too, especially in view, was to give to the industrial branch of the community at as cheap a rate as possible literature of the highest class. If that were done, he believed the class they were anxious to assist would avail themselves of the opportunity afforded to them of improving themselves. All the scientific re searches of the age were directed to economising of la bour : the reaping machine, one of the greatest novel ties in that particular, was proof of that ; to the same object was directed the labours of M'Cormick, Garratt, and Bell. When witnessing, the other day, the splen did evolutions of the mighty fleet at Spithead, and con templating the gigantic Duke of Wellington walking the waters like a thing of life," he could not help feeling, if even that was a thing of war, it was also an emblem of scientific knowledge and artistic skill. With our knowledge, and looking at what had been done in this country, there was no reason why we should be behind hand in anything capable of being mastered by re search and study. Yet we were : that could not be denied. The fact was solely attributable to the defec tive education of the people. Now, the chief object of mechanics' institutions was to benefit the adult popula tion whose progress in the acquirement of knowledge had been impeded by the want of primary instruction. It was true that the number of schools had greatly increased since 1850, but still in Manchester, the first provincial city in the kingd om , th e a b sence of education amongst the people was still very great. He for one had the fullest confidence in Lord John Russell in reference to this matter, believing, as he did, that he, of all the statesmen of this country, was most capable of dealing with this all-important question. (Hear.) And if Go vernment did its duty, and took care of the education of the children, society must do its duty also, and take care of the adult population. Once do thi and those unhappy disputes betweed the emph . yer Rai employed would very soon cease. Only the other day, when 20,000 men were out on strike in the neighbourhood of Stockport, he heard that in a few days the actual loss in wages to labourers and profits amounted to no less than 150,0001. ; lost, absolutely lost, as much as if it had been a loan to the Emperor of Russia. (Laughter.) The same thing was going on at Preston, where he would like to go and explain to the men the folly of their proceedings, and endeavour to convince them that their arbitrary measures—their combinations and strikes —must result in injury to themselves, because, after all, the price of labour must be regulated by the supply and demand —wages being, in fact, entirely dependent on and regulated by the standard of trade, its buoyancy and depression. In this our age, great progress had un doubtedly been made ; there was, he believed, a dis position pervading all men's minds to appreciate the blessings of peace; it was our duty to make ourselves worthy the enjoyment of those blessings ; and we could not do so more than by endeavouring to improve the moral and social condition of the working classes. (Cheers.) 17..• Mr. M. MINEs spoke to the sentiment—" The ad vantages which have resulted from the establishment of reading-rooms." It was by the study of books alone that the working man could expect to fairly maintain his ground in any comparison or competition with the educated workmen of other countries. He deplored as much as any man the schisms between the employer and the employed, to which the chairman had referred ; let but the working man get an insight into the science of political economy, and he had no fears for the result. (Cheers.) _ _ Mr. A DDERLEY, M.P., spoke "on the advantages of early education as preparatory to the enjoyment of the advantages of Mechanics' and similar institutions." Professor PLAYFAIR next addressed the assembly in advocacy of systematic instruction, instead of desultory lectures in mechanics' institutions. It must now (he said) be admitted that the intentions of the founders of mechanics' institutions had not been fully realised. Most of the bad tastes which characterised the adult population might be traced to the deficiency and bad ness of primary instruction. In secondary education there was the same deficiency ; the habits of observa tion had been also perverted by the child's primary edu cation ; still a man who attempted to touch our time honoured schools and forms was looked upon as a demo crat, and at most of our great schools in this country all experience was ignored save that up to the thirteenth century. At Liverpool, Edinburgh, and other places, wherev er thi s difficulty had been grappled with, and a a with the better sy s t em established, it bad been always best succ ess ; i n f act, it had been provedth that there was no wa n t o f t aste amongst t h e p eo ple for course of sci en tifi c l ec t ures when a taste created.

Air. C. H. BRACEBRIDGE spoke in refere nce t o f ore i gn reformatory schools, and the system of primary educa tion on the continent. He narrated several interesting anecdotes illustrative of the defective state of primary education in this country, and of the difficulties which the promoters of education had to contend with in the wa y of inducing parents to send their children to school. These facts (he said) came under his own observation every day, and abundantly proved how greatly to be preferred was the system of education practised in some states on the continent. After a few o bservations from the Mayors of Bir mingham and Derby. The Earl of YARBOROUGH moved a vote of thanks to Sir Robert Peel, which the hon. baronet suitably ack nteonwole,cdlgoeodk,. and th e p rocee di ngs terminated shortly after AUSTRALIAN EUIGRATION. - The ship Agincourt, Captain Pashley, o f 660 tons, belonging to Messrs. Duncan Dunbar an d S ons , o f Limehouse, sailed from Southampton, on Tuesday, for Geelong, with a full complement of emigrants and a general cargo. She anchored at the Motherbank the same night, and on Wednesday morning, the wind being foul for putting to sea by way of the Needles, commenced beating out into the Channel past the east end of the Isle of Wight. While off St. Helen's she missed stays twice, andshortly afterwards touched the elbow of the Horsebank at Spit head, knocking off her false keel by the force of the strike. As the ship commenced making water, the corn inander put back to Southampton Docks, where the Agin court has arrived, and where the cargo is being discharged previous to the ship being placed in the dry dock for repairs. The emigrants, 248 in n umber, will be removed from the vessel to the Government depot while the ne cessary repairs are effected, or until another ship can be provided for their conveyance to Australia. The Agin court was dispatched hence by Mr. George Drysdale. On Wednesday Messrs. Dawson dispatched the fine ship Tudor, Captain Quilhampton, 1,064 tons, for Melbourne, with 380 emigrants, embarked from the Government depot, equal to 340 statute adults, of which 187 were single women. i a
