Il lustrated by Ml coloured Encravings, on the Anatomy of the Repro: , ductive Organs and their relative conditions in Health and Disease. By SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D. 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin birch, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society. Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under th. personal supervision •'f Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these cases. _ Published by the Author, and may be had of J.

The artistes in their employ are each always prepared to prove every statement they mak h e by ht the lets articles they present. The artistes in their employ are each in lets depart ncritioruesialalle fully acquainted with every British introduction, and, aided by foreign communications on every change of style, thus are they daily producing novelties adapted to the season—such as insure grace and comfort, are there new styles of Overcoats, a d number less garments to wear as Coats or Overcoat as mar be desired— the•4, are articles the design and style of which are exclusively theirs. A cursory inspection will afford the highest gratification; and the neatness, comfort, awl service secured by these ingenious contrivances will prove more than ever satisfactory ; but the prices of every description of Dress, Hosiery, Fars, Sec., Sc., &c., in conse quence of very auspicious arrangements, and charged so lew that imitation is an entire impossibility. Sporting, Dress, and Juvenile Attire, either ready made or to measure, excels any which can be had elsewhere, and is charged considerably less prices. EMIGRATION. There are many reasons why Emigration will become increas ingly popular, and why all who intend to make Australia their fu ture residence, should immediately arrange for the seection of their Outfits, this being indispensable business for all Emigrants ; and if transacted at E. MOSES and SON'S, is the highest advantage to every class of Emigrants, male or female—all the goods being ex pressly prepared for their use on their voyage and after their arrival and being such only as are absolutely required, prove a great saving of time and money to thousands anticipating a voyage to " The Land of Health and Wealth." E. MOSES and SON keep a separate Department for Outfitting, but it communicates with their immense Wholesale Store, and the several sections of their Massive Establish.. ment, comprising Clothing, Hosiery, Boot and Shoe Making, Hatting, and other branches of business, where snperior quality and low charges give Emigrants advantages to be found at no other House in the universe. Ship-sailing information and full Lists of Outfits for Ladies and Gentlemen may be had on application, or post-free to any part of the Kingdom. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesraan-like falsehood of " Being connected with !heir Establishment," or " it's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHEIL HOUSE IN Olt OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as .

Hogarth. A clever painting, upon the somewhat liackney-ed subject of the interment of the late Duke of I'Vel lington in St. Paul's Cathedral, is now on - view at Mr. Hogarth's gallery, No. 5, Haymarket. It is the production of Mr. Parris, and altogether re flects the highest credit upon the skill of the artist. The moment selected appears to be that when the choir were chaunting the sublime strain-- " His body is buried in peace, But his name liveth evermore"— ior rather, we f anc y, a momen t or t wo b e f ore t h o S e words resou n d e d un d er th e d ome o f the sacred edi fice, for if we reco ll ec t r i g htly th ey were no t sung until after the co ffi n an d bi er (b o th v i si bl e o f course and that v er y co n sp i cuous l y, t oo, i n t h e p i cture) bad descerndeci through the pavement. - The effect of the mingled gaslight and daylight is wonderfully reproduced in the painting—the effect of which is naturally very gorgeous, from the blending of all those brillianl tints by which the scene was varie gated. .:. LON DON, TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 1, 1853. there must always be a competition, but if they worked in friendly alliance with the London and North- Western there would be an end to it. The honourable gentlemen explained that although a fixed dividend of 4 per cent. was not nained in the North-Western bill now before Parliament, he had received and now read a lei ter from Mr. Stewart, tli4 . secretary to the board of di rectors, in which that gentleman said that the North- Wesiern Company were fully prepared to carry out the terms which they proposed' on the 18th of September. In conclusion lie (Mr. Geach) expressed a hope that the board of directors would not. enter into any fresh agree ment without first obtaining the sanction of the share holders. 'He (Mr. Geach) stood there as an indepen dent shareholder, - and he cauld assure them that in the litigation 'in which he and they had been engaged on farther occasions,' lie had discharged a painful duty.. He seconded the resolutions moved by Mr. Scott. In answer to questions by Mr. Norris, the CHAIRMAN . stated- that the directors had not received officially any offers from the Londoit and North-Western Com pany Whereupon 'Mr. Norris said they were -thee discussing 'a shadow, and contended that, whatevth• might be• their decision that day, they would not, in the . slightest degree, change their legal engage ments with•the Great Western Company. (Hear, hear.) Mr. SCOTT, in allusion to what had fallen from Mr. Geach, begged to express his firm conviction that, under thepresidency of Mr. Clive, neurther arrangement would be made with the Great 'Western, the North-Western, or any other company, with ou t th e consen t an d sanc tion of the sharehold ers . (C heers.) The CHAIRMAN said, a lth oug h generally concurr i ng i n what Mr Scott had said, ho must be allowed to say that there were occasions when, under peculiar circumstances, chairman and directors were bound in duty to adopt a course - which on other or ' , ris they might disapprove £735,692 12,868 A vote of thanks was passed to the chairman, and the meeting broke up. NEW YORK ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC A bill for the incorporation of the New York Atlantic and Pacific Railway Company is before the State Legislature. The company proposes to construct a railroad from the MissisSippi Valley or from the Gulf of Mexico to San Francisco, or some other available point on the Pacific Ocean, reserving also to the com pany the right of a branch to Oregon. After making the necessary provisions for the survey of the route, the bill provides that the company shall finish a single line to the Pacific in five years, and for a line also of magnetic telegraph. The capital stock is fixed at $100,000,000, in shares of $l,OOO eac h . The maximum charge for passengers is limited, to 4c. per mile, and to 4c. for, 2,000 pounds, or one ton per mile for freight, other than metals, or live stock, or animals. These, omitting the details of organisation, are the prominent features of the bill. It would be a work of supererogation to recapitulate the advantages which would accrue to the country and the Government from a rail across the breast of the continent to the Pacific. These Advantages are' manifest. It would bind. the Atlantic and Pacific slopes of the Union firmly together ; it would settle and develope the resources of those vast uninhabited wastes between they 11flssi4sippi and the Pacific ; it would reduce the cost of the trip to San Francisco from $5OO to $lOO, or less ; it would indemnify the Go vernment for any outlay, and it would riltiniately pay the cost of construction in the article of gold alone ; it would bring, with steam lines to China and Australia, the illimitable riches of Asia and its monstrous cordon of golden islands, via San Francisco, to Ne'w ,York ; it would.reduce the trip from Canton to New York to 30 days. The European route to China would be by this, port, and by the Pacific Railroad and the Pacific Ocean. It would make New York and San Francisco (as they must ultimately be) the queen cities of the earth. In deed, though we .may anne'x' all Mexico and Central America, and open all their lines of oceanic inter-com munication, the necessities arid advantage's of the Pacific Railroad'ivill be scarcely diminished. RAILWAY AMALGAMAY=4, IRELANDi---The-Derlin Freeman's Journal contains the following :—" Negotia tions having been going on for some time past, and are now, we beliwie, practically brought to a result, for a transfer of the Dublin and Kingstown Railway to Mr. -Daresn- and IVremars. Mit'oil - dick, Brassy, and-Poto, on of the Dublin and Bray, and Dublin and Wick low Railways, in both which the first-named gentleman, who has taken the chief part in the matter, has a para mount interest." RAILWAY CALLS.—The total amount called in the first two months of 1853 is 1 ,785,400/. against 1,131,7891. in the same period last year, and 1,115,1471. in 1851. This increased demand on the market, however, is more apparent than real, as a very large proportion of the calls is on foreig n li nes , i n many of which the English interest is but small. RAILWAY DlVlDENDS.—Summarising the railway dividends of the week, the Railway Times mentions that the East Lancashire is to pay 3 per cent. per annum, reserving, however, only 8701. to next account. The North Staffordshire distributes 38. per share (171. 10s.), retaining on hand 2,415/. The Cockermouth and Work kington is in a position to pay 4s. per share (201.), but leaving only 381. 6s. 4d. in reserve. The Dublin and Belfast Junction is to pay 1/. per share (451. paid), equal to 4i per cent. within a fraction (4/. 95.), the balance being also remarkably good—viz., 4,000/. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.

Yesterday, at the West Riding Police-court, at Doncaster, Edward Mann, engine-driveran employed on t h e Great Northern Rail way as brought before Mr. J. W. Sturges and Mr. G. J. Jarratt, for being drunk and neglecting his duty, whereby an engine under his cha rge had been driven off the rails into a lime pit at K nott i ngley. Mr. Dudley Baxter, of the firm of Baxter and Co., soli citors to the Great Northern Company, appeared to support the charge on their behalf. B e po i nte d out, that, by the 3d and 4th Vict. cap. 97, the defendant was liable to a penalty of 101., or a term of imprison ment not exceeding two calen dar months, with hard labour. From the examination of Mr. James Johnson, superintendent of the locomotive department at Don caster, George Murray, stoker to the d e f en d ant, and Andrew Wright, an engine driver, it appeared that it was the duty of the defendant to take charge of the Leeds portion of the train leaving Doncaster at 7.5 a.m. On Friday last the .defendant had c h arge of an engine at Knottingley sttion l and was to await th e arr i va l of his train at that junction. 11e contrived t o ge t a four gallon barrel of ale on the en gine, from w hi ch he freely drink until he became intoxicated. • About half-past two o'clock the defendant drove from th e Knottingley junction to a temp orary siding in the vicinity of some lime quarries, into one of which the engine was driven, both the driver and the fireman escaping unhurt. W r i ght, Child, and Murray, servan t s of thF Great N Company, assisted, b u t it was found nnpossible to exorthern tri cate the engine. Th e fi reman to the defendant warned him of the danger o f d r i ving upon a temporary siding newly constructed, but h o t oo k no heed. The defendant said he was going to see the stoker who was hurt at the late accident at Womersley, and that the barrel of ale had been given to him to convey there. We understand the ale was sold to the defendant, but unfortunately the landlord died on Sunday, so that he could not b e ca l led. Mr. Sturges said th e b enc h were quite satisfied that the defendant had most grossly misconducted himself, and it was fortunate that no lives had been sacrificed ; it was equally fortunate that the engine had not been totally destroyed. He considered the defendant quite unfit to have the care of passengers, and fo r t h is offence he should order hi m t o b e imprisoned in the Wakefield House of Correction for two calendar months, With hard labour. a plain granite MONUMENT TO CHANTREY.—The vicar of Norton, in Derbyshire, is raising a subscription for the purpose Y, and in te of erecting, in the village of Norton, obelisk to the memory of Sir Francis Chantrey. Nortonehurey churchyard s h thee was birth-place beried in o a f g C ra h v a e n t e r e f big Own m th ing. A prettier village than Norton is hardly to be seen in the whole of Derbyshire. Chantrey Was proud of his native place, and proud as well of his humble origin. His grave is marked by two enormous flat stones, surrounded by an iron railing, and in the church is a tablet to his memory, with a medallion portrait by Weekcs, after Smith, erected at the expense of Lady Chautrey. The vicar, however, is of opinion that some thing more is wanting ; and an obelisk, w i th a suitable inscription, will, he thinks, if placed w i t hi n sight of the church, village. THE NEW BILLINGSGATE MARKET. —T he facade of read a useful lesson to the boys and girls of th e the new building facing Thames -street having been completed, the whole of the scaffolding has now been removed, and the improvements show to good advan tage. The market will now be well lighted with gas, and there is a central avenue with passages leading in . various directions for the greater convenience of trade, and altogether the improvements effected will be fully in keeping with the requirements of this celebrated fish market. THE VOTE BY BALLOT. At a crowded and enthusiastic meeting of Reformers, held on Thursday, at Swansea, in fivour of the ballot, Mr. H. H. Vivian, M.P. for Truro, delivered the fol lowing able speech in support of the right of the con stituencies to the privilege of e±ercising the franchise in secret : Mr. H. H. VIVIAN, then came forward, and remarked that he appeared 'before the meeting in rather an anomalous position, because he would seem to them as though he were a petitioner to himself. The object of the meeting was to petition the House of Commons in favour of the adoption of vote by ballot. Now, being himself a member of the House of Commons, it was somewhat anomalous that he should present himself before them. He would therefore state that he did not take part in the'ineeting in the character of a petitioner, but that lie attended at the. request of the gentlemen concerned in convening the meeting. He attended by the expressed desire of; those who' were desirous that the attention of the country,generally should be aroused to the impor tance of this question. The moment he received an in timation that hie presence was desired, he did not hesi tate. (Cheers.) And he would tell tuem that he felt. very strongly in reference to this question. It had been stated that. opinions formed late in life, if they allowed him to use that expression in reference to himself—(a laugh)—what lie meant was, that mature opinions, forined from growing conviction,' had often a stronger hold upon the mind than L thoso in which a person had been born and brought up. He could not exactly say that he had not been brought up to believe in the ballot; but'he admitted that he had not, under a certain period, turned hiivattention to the subject, and therefore, he had no strop the - 'he mo any- of -oter, is be not, ;nee the had that iast teral and for the county. From a very kindly feeling on the part of numerous friends, it was in mated to him that it was thought desirable that the battle should be fought in his person. His feeling was against disturbing the peace of the county unless he believed there existed a fair prospect of success. With the view of ascertaining this, his friends and himself spent nearly a month in analysing the state of the register. He found that the most convenient plan was to arrange all the voters under certain sections, show ing what influences they were subject to. The question was not—" How does this man think ? What are his convictions on political subjects ?" Nothing of the kind. The first question--" Whose tenant is the man ? Whom does he work under ?" (Hear.) It was foundkhat he was a tenant under my Lord So and-so, or Mr. This-or-that, or that he was employed by Sir This-or-that, or Mr. So-and-se, who had a cer tain number of men employed at their establishments. Thus the electors were arranged—in fact regularly scheduled—under certain influences, by which, as he was informed, it could be pretty well predicted how they would have voted in case of a contest. He (Mr. H. Vivian) thought it a very absurd thing that a few gentlemen should meet in a hall, and by comparing among each other, lists of influences, decide how the election was to go. If there, happened to be a small remnant of independent men they would soon be swamped by such means as this. Thus the con stituency was practically reduced from hundreds to tens. In reference to the county election he had, therefore; arrived at the conclusion, that if they wanted to i spend a few thousands, it would be better , to devote it to ,any . other purpose—to erect schools, build a monument, or anything else—ra ther than in beer-drinking and the purchase of flags. After some further observations, Mr. Vivian alluded to' those voters employed' in their copper works. Their electoral privileges had never been interfered with. None of the agents or workmen were asked how they meant to vote. In illustration of the necessity for the .ballot, he would refer to another epoch in his life. His previous experience had given him an idea that he should. like' to be in Parliainent. So he told his friends that he would be obliged by their informing him, if they met with anything which they thought would suit him. (A. laugh.) In the course of time several things were offered to him. (Loud laughter.) Amongst these was St. Ives. It was a constituency labouring under thraldrom. - 'Among them were 'a great many very jolly fellows. He (Mr. Vivian) had been invited to en deavour to extricate them out of their difficulties. He had an interview with the leader of the Reform Asso ciation, who certainly depicted matters in very. 'glowing and- fsliOtirable • terms. This visit formed a little era in his life. It had given him a little practice in appearing before the public meetings. Prior to that lie had felt somewhat nervous. (A laugh.) He felt as he had the other day, when attempting to address the House of Commons, the blush rushing to the head, as though he were going to have a fit of apoplexy— (laughter)—as a medical man would say—the pulse beat ing at about 150 degrees. His later experience at St. Ives enabled him to get over such matters. Down be went to this horough, which had been most severely contested at the various elections taking place during the last 30 or 40 years. These contests did not involve any principles, bnt they were personal contests, and therefore conducted in a more acrimonious spirit. Both the candi dates were Conservatives. Prior to the Reform Bill the town existed as a distinct borough within itself uncon nected with any portion of the adjoining rural district. However, the Reform Bill added the rural district to the borough, and this portion of country was principally in the hands of two parties. One was a large landed proprietor, and the other was possessed of extensive mines. A time arrived when both wanted a seat in Par liament. Then, in addition to the retainers of these gen tlemen, was the town party—who were enabled to turn the scale either way as between the other two parties. A large number of the voters were not ten pound house holders, but they derived their franchise from an ancient right or custom. This last mentioned class of voters were very uncertain—(a laugh)—that is (hesitatingly) they were open to conviction. (Much laughter.) At the period he canvassed them he found that a portion of the electors had been turned out of this mine for dis obedience at former elections, and their condition was very miserable. They often had to travel 20 or 30 miles for work, Such being their circumstances they were in a good state of discipline. (Laughter.) He found that in one of these districts the name of one gentle man was invariably referred to, while in the other that of the second gentleman was predominant. In the agricultural districts few or none of the tenants held leases. They were tenants from year to year. They were, therefore, in a most pe r f ec t s t ate of d i scipline.— (Hear, hear, and laughter.) There was, in addition, a body of independent men who voted as they liked, but they were insufficient in number to carry the election. Well, after proceeding some time with the canvass, he (Mr. Vivian) told them that it would be very absurd to go on, as it would be better to devote the time, labour, and money, to some other purpose. However, the ex perience he had gained during that epoch of his life had been of great service to him. It was not often so favour able a chance presented itself. The people in this borough never thought of such a thing as voting against their masters. Such an idea had never occurred to them. All these circumstances greatly served to strengthen his conviction in favour of the ballot. (Cheers.) Although he did not do the thing well in speech making, yet he would be glad to 'attend on all occasions, and give every assistance in his power in supporting the cause of the ballot. (Hear, hear.) He had become sincerely convinced that the House of Commons, as it is at pre sent formed, did not represent the independent consti tuency of this country. Many men who were fully con versant with the misdeeds to which he had called their attention, were notwithstanding of opinion that, on the whole, the present system worked satisfactorily. One favourite argument by them was that all great measures in which the people generally had taken an interest had been carried under the present system. True, but they were carried by means which it would be very desirable to avoid. They were carried by a general convulsion of society—(hear, hear)—by constant and vigorous agita tion, and by a great pressure of public feeling brought to bear upon the upper classes. (Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Vivian) did not believe that such long continued agitation would have been necessary bad the ballot been the law of the land. (Hear.) Had the constituency been enabled to record their opinions honestly in favour or against certain measures it would have been unneces sary to adopt other measures. They remember the period when the Reform Bill was in agitation. The whole country was in a state of the greatest agitation and turmoil. In point of fact all business had been sus pended. Carried it eventually was, but under the old system of voting it could never have been carried without the agitation. Had the ballot been law, members would be elected who would have anticipated public opinion, and of themselves carried out these necessary measures of reform. Again, let them look at the repeal of the corn laws. He (Mr. Vivian) thought that important event had been brought about by a combination of the most fortuitous circumstances in the world. He admitted that at some period the question must have been carried, under any circumstances. He (Mr. Vivian) was at the time in communication with several friends, members of Parliament, and it was a great question at the time whe ther Sir Robert Peel, with all his influence, and with the powerful assistance rendered him by the Liberal party, could carry the measure. And no doubt they re membered that that great statesman himself was in a most fearful agitation at the time, having been bled, cupped, &c. It was, after all, a surprising thing that the measure was carried. Now, had the ballot been in opera - tion, and had the Hous e o f Commons been a fair reflex of the constituency, the measure would have been carried as soon as the country had been fairly convinced of its expediency, without all this excitement and agitation. They did not know so much of the effect and influence of coercion in a populous district like Swansea ; but when they came to a small agricultural town, where disc -- --, ~,,,nueu ms attention to tne subject, and therefore, he had a course which on other occasions they might pprove no strong opinions one way or the other.

RAILWAY, INTELLIGENCE: SHREWSBURY AND BIRMINGHAM., • .g....speCial general meeting of this companly, convened in consequence of a most influentially signed reqUisition, was held at ShrewSbury yesterday, for the purpose of explaining the objects of the Great Western and N or th- Western bills in connection with this undertaking now "before Parliament, and with the view, If possible of ter minating the differences which exist 'between the various sections of the proprietors. The Hon. R. H.. Clive, M.P., occupied the chair, and there was,a very large at tendanee 'of proprietors. The CHAIIIMAN, in opening the business, congratulated tbd meeting ' - iitrOn the temperate and friendly tone in which the subject was brought forward by the re quisitionists. He hoped that the conciliatory tone wpald be cdntinued, alo that jultiiatelyanar-spe s c they should conic to an amicable settlement 6rAirireir differences. He proceeded to explain the exact position in which the company was placed. There was a party who asked that the agreement with the Great Western should be confirmed, and another, supposing that the Great Western would modify the 32d section of their Amalgamation Act, who were desirous that both the Great Western and North-Western Bills should be sub mitted to a committee of the House of Commons, and all parties bound by its decision, and give no opp os iti on to its passi ng th e s t an di ng or d ers i n th House of Lords. It was unnecessary for him to repeat the arguments by which the bills on both sides were supported by their several advocates—they were well known to them. The directors were most anxious to put an end to all differences, more especially after what occured last ses sion, but still he was sure that they would agree with him that it was the duty of the board to fulfil faithfully the agreements into which they had entered. (Hear.) After some further observations, and stating the little difference which in his opinion existed between the offers of the Great Western and the London and North-Western Companies, ho concluded by movin g the adopti on o f * resolutions in favou r o f th e Great Western bills now before Parliament. Mr. H. HILL seconded the motion. Mr. R. Snow, on the part of the requisitionists, moved as an amendment the following resolution : " 1. That in the opinip of the meeting the conditions which by the provision of the 32d section of the Great Western Amalgamation Bill and the resolutions of the di rectors of that company the shareholders are required to comply with, before they can entitle themselves to exer cise the option of accepting in lieu of the proposed terms of amalgamation a fixed dividend of 31., 33 per cent., and half profits, are impracticable and unjust, an d that this meeting requires that such 32d section of the said Amal gamation Bill be altered so as to entitle all the sharehold ers of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company uncon ditionally and without distinction to exercise such option within two months after the passing of the act. 2. That the Traffic Arrangements Bill being in the opinion of this meeting calculated only to embarrass th e rea l ques ti ons a t issue between the two sections of the proprietary, the same ought to be withdrawn by this company. 3. That if the 32d section of the Amalgamated Bill be altered so as to comply with the first resolution, it is the opinion of this meeting that the question of a Great Western or a Lon don and North-Western alliance with the Shrewsbury and. Birmingham and the Shrewsbury and Chester Compa nies will be best decided by the committee of Parlia ment to which the several bills promoted by these com panies will be referred, and that it will be the interest of the shareholders to obtain such a decision upon the merits of the bills in the present session, and with that object to promote when required a compliance with the Wharncliffe Standing Order of the House of Lords in favour of such bills as shall pass the House of Commons. 4. That in the event of a decision of the committee of the House of Com mons upon the merits of the two classes of bills in the present session, this meeting pledges itself to support, by voting at the Wharncliffe meeting, or otherwise, and to abstain from opposing in the House of Lords such a class of bills as shall have been adopted by the said committee, upon the following conditions That the 32d section of the Great Western Amalgamation Bill be altered in con formity with the first resolution. 2. That the Traffic Arrangements Bill be abandoned, and the bill to confer on the Great Western Company power to run over and lay down additional rails on the Shrewsbury and Birmingham lino be opposed unless incorporated with or proceeded with in its various stages after the Amalg ama ti on Bill. 3. That the bills of the London and North-Western Company are passed by the committee, so as to secure absolutely and Perma nently to the shareholders of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company the terms set forth in their bill, viz.: -- a fixed dividend of 4 per cent., with the option to the London and North-Western Company to purchase the stock of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company at par.

(Hear, hear.) He was anxious to put at end to litiga tionf and he hoped the Great Western would accede to the plan proposed that day, and render them once more a happy and united family. (Cheers.)

(Hear, hear.) the e principle of a fi xe d Let them recollect that if they formed an allia nce with the Great Western [PRICE 5D . all the tradesmen depended upon the custom of the sur rounding farmers, and where both tradesmen and farmers were completely under the influence of a few landed pro prietors—why, they could not expect people to vote against their own interests. With respect to the efficacy of the ballot in doing away with bribery, a variety of opinions were entertained. There might be some room for doubt whether it would effectually do away with bribery. Many were of opinion that it would. But he was convinced that it would entirely do away with co ercion. If they adopted the ballot, he believed it would be, necessary to do away with canvassing. It would be necessary to make it a penal offence. He did not mean that it should be made a felony, but that it should be an offence to which a severe penalty would be attached. (Hear, hear.) They could thus protect parties in fluenced by intimidation. Of course, if a man chose to proclaim to the world how he voted, that could not be helped, and if he injured himself by doing so, it was his own affair. As to the observation frequently made that voting by ballot was un-English, .why that was a simple piece of absurdity. They were not obliged to publish all their opinicins and all their transactions in the ordinary affairs of life. Why should they be obliged to do so in the choice of a representative, especially when, by means of secrecy, they did away with serious moral evils. (Hear.) They were every day engaged in affairs in which 1' concealment was perfectly necessary. He likewise fully agreed in the opinion that an extension of the franchise would be of very little, if any, utility, unless such a measure were accompanied by the ballot. If a ten pound householder was liable to intimidation or bribery, a more needy man would be the more liable in propor tion to the scantiness of his means. The poorer a man was the more liable he would be to coercion or bribery. (Hear, hear.) In many boroughs a large number of the present electors voted under the influence of coercion, and if they were not coerced, they were bribed. He therefore very much doubted the expediency of extending the franchise under the present system of voting. If it were done, they must largely increase the area of many of the constituencies, but very little good would be done unless thexprqteh n yAer. fieaaiie..coultl not say that - fi:V'aullrbe prepared to support in Parlia ment an extension of the suffrage to a lower class of voters, unless such a measure wei e accompanied by the ballot. This was, however, one of those difficult subjects which required further consideration. He did not be lieve that the adoption of the ballot would cause organic changes in the constitution of the country, or that it would tend in the slightest degree injuriously t o e ff ec t our existing instit u ti ons , .or that the balance of power Would be disturbed. The wheels of Government would roll on quite as well, at any rate, as they now did, and whereas they now rolled eccentrically, they would then do so more smoothly. (Hear.) Feeling that the pre sent system of voting at elections was pregnant with in famy and injustice, he was fully prepared to support the ballot. (Loud cheering.) After thanking the audience for the attention• which they had given to his observa tions, Mr. Vivian resumed his seat amidst applause. THE CASE OF CRUELTY IN THE GREENWICH UNION.— Yesterday Mr. Carter concluded the inquest on the body of John Gaywood, aged six years, whose barbarous treatment by a nurse lately created so much public hor ror. It will be remembered that at the last sittings of the Central Criminal Court, the woman Oldham, who is about 50 years of age, and was an inmate of the union, was tried for assaulting the child by placing a piece of red hot coal in the palm °fits right hand, 'and keeping it there, for some five or six minutes, for which offence she was sentenced by the Common Serjeant to 14 days' imprisonthent. Sometime elapsed ere the cruel act was communicated to the authorities, and medical aid was afforded the little sufferer. A few days after the trial an unfavourable change took place in his state; he gradually pined away, and died. After nearly,an hour's absence, the jury returned into court, and the foreman announced that their verdict was, that the deceased had died from water on the brain, accelerated by the injury inflicted by the nurse, Mary Ann Oldham. Coroner—That, gentle men, amounts to a verdict of manslaughter ; is that your verdict ? Foreman=lt is, The coroner then issued his warrant for the committal of the woman Oldham to Newgate, and bound over the witnesses to appear at the MURDER AND ATTEMPTED SureipE.-,--Last. Saturday the family of Mr. W. H. Hart, - East India mer chant, residing at 7, Gloucester-place, Hyde-park gardens were thrown into the most fearful state 'of terror from the following tragical occurrence. Between 7 and 8, a.m., Mary Mitchell, the cook, finding that Marian Griffin, the hougemaid, did not make her appearance, went to her bed-room, when she found her rather agitated, and she also heard a smothered noise in Griffin's box, which induced her to approach it for the purpose, of . ascertaining whence the noise originated •, but Griffin endeavoured to prevent hez.. The cook, however ' seeing a pair of sc i ssors smeared with blood, lying near the. box, she insiste upon opening the box, where she found a newly born. infant alive, and bathed in blood, which issued from a wound in' <its throat that e'xtend'edfi-oin ear COZir. Sho instantly Rished down stairs and gave the alarm, when Messrs. Pollock and Galiando, surgeons, were instantly sent for. Upon those gentlemen entering Griffin's room, they found the unfortunate woman in the act of cutting her own throat with the scissors. Having disarmed her, they applied the necessary remedies to her wound, and then so se cured her that she could not repeat her suicidal attempt. After which they turned their attention to the infant, whom they found in a moribund state, the wound Wing of so extensive a nature, that upon the body being raised the head fell backwards. Singular to say, although death is inevitable, life still lingers in the body. There is no doubt that the wound was inflicted on the infant with the same scissors with which the mother attempted to cut her own throat. The mother, who hitherto bore an irreproachable c)aracter, had been only two months in Mr. Hart's service. Last evening she was removed to the infirmary, where she remains under the surveil lance of the police. THE JEW MONEY-LENDER--Beware of him, young men at the Universities, or young men just emancipated from academic control. Beware of him, half-pay cap tains, country clergymen, unprotected females, and all others of the Queen's lieges who have not gained that kind of experience which stockbrokers and detective police officers can acquire. You may despise the half educated, infirm little atom who smooths down the bill, and complacently dips the pen for you in the ink to save you all unnecessary trouble, but in his vocation he is a giant, while you are but simpletons and dwarfs. Little Moses will prove too strong for you in the end. His grasp is on you, and you cannot escape him if you would fly to the four corners of the earth. Lord Campbell and his fourteen yoke-fellows of justice are little Moses' paid agents. The French army and the British navy are there to enforce his claims. The electric fluid at his bidding will follow you from the Pole to the Equator. From the moment you have signed your name to that bit of paper which he crumples up in his pocket, you are Moses' own—his property—his Uncle Tom—his mere chattel and thing. Beware of him, we say, and do not match your inexperience against his abundant know ledge. He has only two or three facts at the utmost to remember, and upon these his memory never plays him a trick. There is the bill,—there proof of your signa ture—there a witness to the fact that the security was passed into his hands for a valuable consideration, and the inevitable result is "judgment with speedy execu tion." We earnestly en t rea t an y one w h o ma y behesi tating on the brink of the abys s t o s p en d b u t a trifling sum for the advice of any competent person who has been in the habit of conducting bill causes, either for the plaintiff or the defendant, and he will soon find that within the whole range of legal experience there is no testimony so simple, or so impossible to be shaken on cross-examination, as that of a tortuous bill-holder.— Times. HORRIBLE FATE OF A BOAT'S CREW.—Letters received at Lloyd's report a most shocking catastrophe having happened on the Great West Hoyle Bank, off the Che shire coast, near the mouth of the Dee, to six mariners who had gone to examine a vessel which had been wrecked upon the shoal in the course of Sunday last. Reaching the edge of the sand, which extended many miles in circumference, the ill-fated men had secured their boat by fastening the painter round the boat-hook, which they threw into the sand. Like those of the Goodwin, they are hard and dry when the tide is out, in which state of apparent security they found them on landing. Having gone to the spot where the wreck lay, they were about returning, when they were not ttle alarmed at observing the boat adrift, and the tide ra pidly covering the sand. One account states that some boatmen a considerable distance off observed the un happy fellows rushing about holding up handkerchief s and other things in the hope of attracting attention. None came, however, and in little more than an hour the sea swept over the entire range of the bank,a n d th e poor fellows thus miserably perished. EMIGRATION OF WATERMEN.—Last week no less than eleven watermen of Greenwich emigrated to Australia. This number, it is expected, will very shortly be consi derably increased , as much activi ty prevails among that body to better their condition, which has of late years deteriorated in remuneration. Most of them were young men, just served their apprenticeship, wh o h a d b een at tracted thither by the high wages being now paid to that class in Australia.—Kentisk Mercury. THE FRENCH EMPRESS.—A gentleman in this city (Glasgow), who was for many years very intimate with Mr. Kirkpatrick, of Malaga, the grandfather of Na poleon's affianced bride, informs us that the current re ports respecting the family are, in some particulars, in correct. Mr. Thomas Kirkpatrick was the Swedish consul at Malaga, and not th e B r iti s h. M rs . Kirk patrick was a Swedish lady by birth, but her parents were British, and she was universally allowed to have been the handsomest lady in Malaga. A sister of Mrs. Kirkpatrick's married Lieutenant-Colonel G. Thomson, of the Royal Engineers. Mr. Kirpatrick had several children, one of whom married the second son of a Spanish duke, who, on the death of his elder brother, succeeded to the family honours, and is the father of the French Empress. It thus appears that, except through her father, there is no Spanish blood in her veins ; and this will account for her fair complexion and blue eyes. —NO/14 Bride& .Daily r enea, ,ogi ca l T a b le of the Bonaparte Family.

The Canina Family, numbering nine children in all, are enu merated as the offspring of the marriage of Lucien's eldest son and Joseph's eldest daughter. Lucien's second daughter (Christina Egypta) is mentioned as having married Lord Dudley Stuart, and Lucien's *third daughter (Letitia) as having married the Right Hon. Thomas Wyse, now the British Minis ter at Athens. In the record of the result of this marriage, under the head of the Bonaparte -Wyse Family, we notice the only blunder in this genea logical table of the Imperial house of Napoleon. It is an important blunder, however, and one that the publisher, Mr. Effingham Wilson, ought to see rectified (if only in simple justice) in the event of any republication. The mistake is simply this : that five children are given as the offspring of the marriage of Lucien Bonaparte's daughter, Letitia, with the Ri g ht H on . Th omas Wyse—the only children by that marriage being, in fact, two, namely, Alfred Napoleon Bohaparte and William Bonaparte—the other three, Marie, Adeline, and Louis, having no right or title to the name of Wyse • the eldest of th em h av i ng b een born, in truth, long.after their mother had been divorced from her husband. The rectification of this error we commend to the attention of Mr. Wilson the publisher. In one corner of the Genealogical Table •there have been appropriately introduced the names of the six children of the brother of the Queen Hortense (mother of the present Emperor), the Prince Eugene Beauharn.ais. Portrait of Lord Palmerston. Paul and Dominic Colnaghi. Every one of the admirers of Lord Palmerston, those at least among them who can afford to pur chase so splendid an engraving, will regard with some degree of thankfulness the skill displayed by the practised graver of Samuel Cousins in copying the •portrait of that eminent statesman from the original painting by John Partridge. That noble work of art; it will be remembered, was produced under remarkable and rather uncommon circum stances circumstances in the highest degree honourable to all the parties associated with each other in the transaction, but peculiarly in regard to the illustrious Minister of State whose linea ments are therein represented. It cannot be for- Totten that the portrait was taken for a number of independent members of the House of Commons, to be presented by them to the Viscountess Pal merston, as the most graceful mark of the feelings entertained by the donors towards her distinguished husband—feelings which on the occa •ion of the actual presentation were declared by Colonel Freestun, ,t,he. s lokesman of the Coin higlicst admiration. - Theie is, consequently, a peculiar interest associated with this among all the various likenesses ever published or the Noble Lord, her Majesty's principal Secretary of State (it almost seems like a mistake to write it) for the Dow De partment. The incident to which the plate owes its existence, is of itself a sufficient evidence of the genius and achievements of the statesman, and of their full and cordial appreciation by some of the most intelligent of his contemporaries. That inci dent marked the homage, remember, of no mere "party following," but of a group of members whose political position proved them, to be in every respect 'thoroughly independent. It was an ad mirable choice the selection of Mr. Partridge as the artist—a fact sufficiently proved by the really extraordinary merit of the production. All the accessories in the picture are naturally and grace fully introduced from the marble bust of Canning in the back-ground to the blue books littered on the carpet. The Noble Lord, dressed in evening costume, with a star and-ribband, is standing near a table in his library—the table being appropriately covered with despatches and other official docu ments. The resemblance is something surprisingly good--giving with all imaginable accuracy, not only the comeliness of feature, but the intellectual ex pression and dignified bearing of the statesman. PortraitA n of Ri c unpretendingh a r a C n o d bd i e: i t s , o lli me r resp A ec c t k s ermann. meritori ous, lithographic portrait of the honourable gentle man, the member for the West Riding of York shire, has recently been published by Mr. Acker mann. Drawn on stone by J. H. Lynch, the like ness has been' taken by the artist from one of Mayall's most successful daguerreotypes. We have said that the portrait, strictly as a portrait, is, to our thinking, only "in some respects," meri torious. It does not seem to us to have done full justice to the original. The features are true to the life, but wo miss the character, or, as it is called so very absurdly because so very vaguely, the expression of the countenance. The Wellington Shield. Provart. We almost despair of ever finishincr with these tributes to the late Duke of Wellington —no w engravings, now verses, now biographies. There is "no end of them," to express the fact in the vernacular. Here, as about the latest that has fallen under our notice, is a series of engravings—. making quite a little portfolio of themselves— representing the central figures, and the sur rounding ten compartments of the famous Wel lington Shield, designed by the late Thomas Stothard, R.A., and presented to his departed grace by the merchants and bankers of the metropolis. Altogether, there are seven plates in the collection, one of them portraying in a cluster round the Iron Duke, some of his most distinguished General, such as Hill, Picton, Lynedoeh, and Anglesea. The sub jects of the ten groups surrounding this central one are—" The Battle of Assaye—the Battle of Vimiero —the Passage of the Douro—the Lines of Torres Vedras---the Storming of Badajoz—the Battle of Salamanca —the .Battle of Vittoria—the Battle of the P yrenees —Entrance into Toulouso—the Con ferring of the Dukedom." The engravings which have been made from these subjects are, it must be confessed, somewhat rough, but it may be added also that they are occasionally vigorous. CONSTERNATION IN THE TUILERIES.—We understand, from good authority, that very great consternation has been produced within the last fortnight in the Tuileries, in consequence of a large bundle of letters, of great State importance, having been abstracted from one of the private apartments of the Emperor. Among these letters are no fewer than eighty which, we are assured, very seriously compromise the characters of some of the most distinguished public men in France, and develop political and private intrigues on the part of persons never suspected of anything at variance with the strictest honour, which will astonish France and Europe, should the letters so stolen ever see the light. In the mean time, so great is the anxiety of the Emperor to recover outa t Secretary tle seat a at them that an offer of a rew ard of 260,000 fran cs has been made for their restor ation.—Mornin g Adv ertiser. FIRE AT WlLTair ABBEy. -- A fire broke of the Right Hon. Sid ne y Herbert, M.P . , War, shortly after eight o'clock on Sunday morning. Very judiciously no one was permitted within the abbey gates unless those who could render good service. No sooner was the circumstance known in Salisbury than many tradesmen took conveyances, and repaired thither to offer their service—in fact, hundreds of others started on foot. By half-past ten the fire was got under, and a number of those who had assisted, or had attended for that purpose, were regaling themselves in front of the entrance to the abbey. It appears that the front library chimney, which is partly composed of timber, ignited. The loss of property will not be great. NEW WORK BY SIR E. B. LYTTON BART.
