Constituencies favourable in the Ballot are reminded that Mr. Berkeley's motion is fixed for Tuesday next, May 10. The Ballot is no longer a question of party politTcs ; it has con quered for itself a place in Parliament and in the Ministry, It is an open question with the Government, and several members of the present Ministry are its old and cons , stent advocates. The coming division wi•n. be a test of opireon in the Muse of Com • mons—a guide to the Cabinet in preparing their new Reform Bill. Constituencies should, therefore, irrmediately urge their representa tives to express, by speech and vote, the popular con% :ctiou in favour of tie Ballot, as a division must on this occasion take place, inas much as the Ballot is not announced as a feature in the promised Ministerial measure. Information afforded to Electors end others on all points connected with the question, by the Ballot Society, at their Offices, 140, Strand, to wt"ch all Subscrip ions should be sent, and communications ad dressed. _ _ On behalf of the Committee, JNO. JENKINS, Secretary. Ballot-offices, Strand, London, May 3, 1853. WHERE IS L. HYAM'S ESTABLISHMENT? THE constantly increasing bulk of the Metro polis, and the daily influx of s:sitors from country districts and foreign parts, are such as to render necessary a plain gt'ide to the Proprietor's Warehease. Be it remembered, therefore, that " 36, Gracechr”ch-street, City," is in the immediao T:cinity of the Monument and Kinq Wi'dam's Statute, at the foot of London bridge.- Pat ties in quest of L. Hymn's trading prewises arc recom• mended to keep these "landmarks" in view, in order to preclude the possibility of unnecessary trouble er disappointment. WHAT IS L. HYAM'S ESTABLISHMENT? - - L. Hyam's Establishment is devoted to the manrfactv, and stile of Bespoke and Ready-made Attire for Gentlemen and Youths. Hosiery, Hats, and Genere Outfits, in each of which branches its recommendations are conspicuous. Novelty sad elegance of style. coupled with superiority or materials of every description, are strik in7,ly developed in the Triloring Depal :Aleut of L. iyam's trade ; and durable, graceful, fashionable, fitting, and economical articles of Dress are, at all times, obtainable in th's direction, to the complete satisfaction of the purchaser. L. Hymn's immense Stock of Hosiet f, Hats, and General Outfits, will stand the test of minute inspection, and, when submitted to a trial, wi' iise in the estimation of e'l classes of buyers. A judicious expenditure of adequate capital in securing the best materials and a. ists, and in advantageous retrenchments, is sufficiently evident on an examination and compai;son of the various at ado to which public attention has thus been invited. OBSERVE !—L. IIYAM begs to state that he has no conner'on with any similar c - ,tablishment in London. 36, Gracechurch•street, City (establishislied upwards of 15 years), is the only place of busi ness carried on by L. 111 AM, where the public can be supplied with good, durable, and fashionable Clothing, of sound workmanship, at such economical prices as must defy all competition. L. HYAM, Tailor, Clothier, Hatter, Hosier, and General Outfitter, 36, Gracechurch-street, City. MEDICAL ADVICE ON THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF YOUTH. AND MATURITY. DR. SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON,. Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medic Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. - - • • MAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregu'arities and excesses, which have pro- Juced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all staves of life, than perhaps any other class of dis cases known to modern pathologists. Long and pract , eal experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist mice secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated withont incurring grievous penalties, anti when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-it - diligence, how these penalties may be mitigated, bow the sting of their b; tterress may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of pilysicsl infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely a'd of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and s the on'y legally qualified rhysician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is tree. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply re, arded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant emphics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions. At home for consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from Six till Eight. All letters must con'..aiii the fee of ii., and advice and medicines can be forwarded to any initials or address. It is desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LA'MERT I should first obtain a copy of his work on SELF-PRESERVATION. A Medical Treatise on the Philosophy of Marriage, and Nervous and Generative Debility, illustrated by fifty coloured engravings, and des cribing in detail the various disorders resulting from secret habits and excesses. The perusal of this treatise will assist in the correct description of their cases, and may be had, price 2s 6d, in English, French, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, or German, of Messrs.

ANEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH.- Mr. HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-street, has intro duced an entirely NEW DESCRIPTION of ARTIFICAL TEETH, fixed without springs, sslres, or ligatures. They so perfectly resem ble the natural teeth Ps not to be distingtoshed from the erilinal by the closest ob•.erver; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to soy tce•lt ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roe's, or any painful operation, and will give sunport and preserve teeth that are loose, and are guaranteed to restore allculation and mastication ; and that Mr. Howard's improvement may be within reach of the most economici•l, he has fixed his charges at the lowest scale possible. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mastication.-52, Fleet-street. At home front ten till five. SOUND and WHITE TEETH are not only indispensably requisite to a pleasing exterior in both sexes, but they are peculiarly appreciated through Ilia as a blessing highly conducive to the purposes of health and longevity. Among the vari ous preparations offered for the purpose, ROWLANDS' ODONTO, or Pearl Dentifrice, stands unrivalled in its capability of embellishing, purifying, and preserving the teeth to the latest period of life. Pr - pared from Oriental herbs, with unusual care, transmitted to this country at great expense, this unique compound will be found to eradicate all tartar and concretions, impart a pearl-like whiteness to the enamelled sur:ace, remove spots of incipient decay, render the gums firm and red, fix the teeth firmly in their sockets, and, from its aromatic influence, impart sweetness and purity to the breath. It is important to observe, that when used early in life, it effectually pre vents all aches in the teeth and gums, effaces spots and discolours- Ron, eradicates scurvy, and, in a word, soon realises the chief attri bute of health and beauty—a Fine Sat of Pearly Teeth.

MURDER OF CAPTAIN GRANT.—By accounts recently received in this t Worcester shire was assassinated at Houston, on the 28 th of country of from s t o u Texas, rbrl e . December last, in an electioneering brawl. The precise particulars of the affair arc not stated, but the murderer was to be tried some time in April, and it is probable that an authentic statement of this melancholy event will soon be received in London. Captain Grant was . the 39th year of his age, and served with distinction during the greater portion of the Carlist war in Cata lonia, under the Conde de Espana and General Cabrera. In the action fought before Guisona, on the 11th of J . une, 1837, th e b atta li on to wh i c h h e b e l onge d , number ing 800 men, and formed of deserters from the French Algerine Legion, was utterly destroyed ; he escaped with seven lance wounds, the marks of which he bore to the day of his d ea th . At the siege of Ripoll, soon after the affair of Guisona., Captain Grant led the storming a s shottho uthroughhteh dead, e b a o d d , y in and so w a c s r t e i f c t al a for p p a a r r t ty t , ha a t nd he vr aws several hours among the slain at the foot of the breach. When Cabrera retired into France, in 1840, Captain Grant returned to Engla n d, and the following year pro ceeded to Texas, where he b ecame much respected, and where, as already stated, h e h as met an untimely' end f h ri o e l n y ds 'death aud from the hand of some ruffianly a ssass i n. He was es toececi a n s e i d o n i 8 ) 3 To the l utmost sktue griefNy him,d regret e l t lis to tn helaisn o relatives in this country, THE LATE BOARD OF'ADMI.RALTY. The committee resumed its inquiry yesterday, and, judging by the attendance within and behind the bar, the interest which the proceeding's has excited under goes no diminution. Lord Seymour read a letter which he had received from the Duke of Northumberland, intimating that his Grace would be happy to attend at any time, and afford the committee any information in his power. Captain Richards was then called, and his examina tion from Tuesday was resumed. He stated he wrote a letter to Sir B. Walker with regard to Ridgway's case on the 9th of April, 1852, complaining of the course that had been pursued by the Admiralty, and stating that if it was persisted in, the order of the 10th of February, 1847, might as well be consigned to the tomb of " all the Capulets." Afterwards, Captain Pelham pro cured him an interview with the Duke of Northumber land, and his Grace assured him that he had never heard, and did not believe, that he (Captain Richards) had ex ercised any political influence, and that he was satisfied he devoted himself to the good of the service. His Grace further desired him to come to him or Captain Pelham whenever he wished to do so. He saw Admiral Hyde Parker afterwards, and was then informed by bim that it was the first time lie also had heard of the accu sation, and that he did not believe a word of it. The statement that he was a political partisan would be heard with astonishment at Chatham, and he challenged .Mr. Stafford to the proof of what ho had asserted. He was on intimate terms with Sir Frederick Smith, and both he and Sir J. Stirling dined together at his (Captain Richards') table during their canvass. Ridgway had been several times before him, and in fact he had little difficulty in describing him as the worst leading man in the yard. He (Captain Richards) was astonished to find that Ridg way was on the Conservative side at Chatham, having previously tries to make interest with Sir Francis Baring through the Whig party at Portsmouth. Ms promotion was an entire departure from the circular dija,t7, which required that promotion should not take - pli without a recommendation from the superintendent, and should not be prompted by political influences. Sir Frederick Smith's canvass of Chatham lasted for several months, and he (Capt. Richards), on being told by Sir Frederick that he was going to stand, said to him, " I wish you luck, but I can't give you the least help." He had never sought his appointment to Chatham, and never was more surprised than when he received it ; and in order that there might be no misconception as to the manner and terms in which that appointment was made he put in evidence the portion of Sir F. Baring's letter which he had not read on his previous examination, as it might be considered self-laudatory to do so : "(Private.) " Admiralty . , April 26, 1849. "My dear Sir,—l have this day received the account of Sir T. Bourchier's death with much regret. " This leaves Chatham-yard vacant, and it is an impor tant yard. " From what I have heard and seen of you, it will give me much pleasure if it should suit you. " I shall feel satisfied that I have placed an important duty in the hands of one who will perform it to the advan tage or the public service. " There must be one understanding—that you will not meddle with politics. I make this understanding with op ponent and friend, and I do not think you aro likely to object to a condition which will oblige you to look to the public service alone.—Yours truly, "F. BARING." He had never in his life applied fora political favour, and had never received any, and his appointment to Pembroke Dockyard had been obtained from Lord Auck lard's applying to Sir W. Parker, whose flag captain he then was. • The witness then read some further correspondence that had taken place between him and the Admiralty With regard to the appointments, and in answer to Lord Seymour, in explanation of certain words in one of his letters, said there was always a swarm of persons out side a dockyard who looked upon a dockyard as a species of property in which they had a right, and ex pected nominations to appointments. He (Captain Richards) had complained about the promotion of Ridgway, as he had been reported as ineffioient from irregular conduct. If it had been stated that Ridgway had been reported because he was a Tory or a Conser vative, it was not so, and he would distinctly say, answer to what Mr. Stafford had said, no political in fluence was used against him in the yard. Sir B. Hall—How did Cotsell perform his duties Captain Richards thought him a very good master smith—as good as was to be found in the dockyards. Sir B. Hall—Do you remember Mr. Stafford being in the yard with Sir Frederick Smith Captain Richards explained that he was absent when Mr. Stafford came, and met him immediately after he left. He expressed his regret at not being there to re ceive him, to which Mr. Stafford replied that he had been so much engaged with Lord Derby he could not give him notice. Sir B. Hall—Did you hear if Mr. Stafford had gone round the yard with Sir Frederick ? Captain Richards had asked no questions, for he did not think it proper to inquire of the officers what the Secretary of the Board of Admiralty had been about. Sir B. Hall—When dockyards are within the limits of a borough, do you think, looking to the efficiency of the service, that t'fr, men should have no vote ? Captain Richards thought the service would be mate rially advantaged thereby, but still the influence of rela tions who had votes would be brought to bear on the pa tronage of the yards. They would be placed in the same position as the Excise and Customs. The best way, how ever, would be to carry out stringently the views of Sir F. Baring, and not to listen to any applications that were not made on public grounds. If people at head-quarters could be depended on for this the object sought for would be accomplished. During the last election Sir James Stirling came to ask him if any of the officers of the yard were entitled to intimidate voters under them. He immediately asked for the name of the officer who had been doing so, and he said he would repo' him in stantly to the board. Sir James Stirling refused to give it up, and he told him that as he was not prepared to do so he should not have come to him at all about the mat ter. In consequence of that communication he sent for the master shipwright, and cautioned him to tell the officers privately that if he caught any of them influenc ing the workmen under them lie would bring their con duct before the board. The master shipwright subse quently told him that one officer acknowledged having done so, but expressed his sorrow, and promised to desist forthwith. He (Captain Richards) took so little interest in the election that ho did not know the result till the following morning. Admiral Fanshawe, superintendent of Portsmouth Dockyard, was called to show that he had received from the Duko of Northumberland, through his private secretary, Captain Pelham, similar instructions to avoid meddling with politics to those given to Captain Richards by Sir Francis Baring. Benjamin Cross, a sergeant of Marines, and tailor to the force at Devonport, said that he was a voter of East Stonehouse. Before the last election he had a conver sation with Colonel Coryton, who sent for him, and to whom he was taken by Sergeant Mortimer. He was shown into the colonel's drawing-room, and saw there with ths?, colonel, who was in undress military uniform, General Berkeley, and another gentleman. The general solicited his vote in the presence of the colonel. He told him it was too late, as he had pledged for Sir J. Romi]ly. Colonel Coryton said, "I am sorry for it." Sir B. Hall—Do you know of any other Marines so sent for ? Witness—Corporal Atkins was canvassed in a similar way. A man named Marsh was also sent for, and it was said had been promised promotion to corporal. General Berkeley gained the election by 10 votes. a majority of Sergeant Ching, master shoemaker to the Marines at Devonport, had a communication made him from Colonel Coryton through Sergeant Mortimer, of the same kind as that to the previous witness. He split his vote be tween Sir John Romilly and General Berkeley, which he would not have done had he not been fearful that sup porting the Whig party alone, as he had previously been in the habit of d o i ng , wou l d have injure d hi m . Se A rg t e k a i i n it so Mortimer Colonel iniersaid etloiartytolien c ommand, but waswent for Ching, Cross, and s not told why the colonel wanted to see them. Colonel Coryton acknowledged that he had sent Mor timer, as described, on the request of General Berkeley, who had called and asked to be allowed to do so. Ho left the room when the men were canvassed, and had not interfered in any way. He had given his consent to what was done without considering that there was any impropriety in it. Commodore Seymour, superintendent of the Devon port Dockyard, stated that he received his appointment there in Septembe r , 1851, in a letter from Sir F. Bar ing, of which the following is a copy of Lord John deed I expect by tom " My dear Sir,—The accounts " w A h d icl A W l e gu h st av 2 e 6, 2 B ceted Hay may rnd confidential.) mayorrleoavves;shtotpoo l o e f ar h n is l, T s ec d o e v a e t ry h. ; It makes it necessary for me to make arrangements for the dockyard at Dovonport. " The whole working of our system depends on th e su perintendents in the several yards, and I am anxious to ap point to Devonport an officer who may remain there some time, and who will be efficient. " I have myself not visited Sheerness since you have been there, but I have heard from several quarters on which I can rely an account of your proceedings. In offer ing you the dockyard at Devonport I believe eshall do the best for the public service in securing the superintendence of an officer who has shown that ho can perform the duty in a satisfactory manner. " I need not say that the same condition of non-inter ference in local politics attaches to every yard, and if pos sible I attach more importance to it at Devon p ort than anywhere else. the " r l af a or m e abbeeonuta(toivisgeod t abroad vrartilte to for yao before fortnight,and have, a vacancy at Devonport has actually taken place. I wish to settle my arrangements before leaving Engl and. I shall be ob liged , therefore, by an immediate answer, and by your not men tioning this communication until hearing further, I am, my dear Sir, yours very truly, " F. BARING." Previously to his appointment to Sheerness in Novem ber, 1850, he had acquaintance with Sir Francis Baring. While Sir Francis was First Lord all appointments in the dockyards took place in a regular manner. On the 25th of April, 1852, 12 labourers were advanced w ithout any recommendation from him, and in violation of the circular of 1847. Their promotion was a great injustice to labourers who had done duty as sawyers, and who, having been displaced, were, according to the practice of the yard, entitled to expect the vacancies. It was in consequence of these appointments that he wrote to Sir Baldwin Walker the letter of the 27th of April, an extract of which had been read, and the rest of which was as follows : "pevonport, April 27, 1852. " A wholesale nomination to vacancies has this morning come, I fear without strict reference to necessity. I cannot forbear expressing a hope that the discouragements so pe culiarly attaching to your important position may not only not disturb you, but rather lead to a determination to wea. ther a storm that cannot continue, liaising as I yet chari tably hope, out of an inability t o un d ers t an d the disastrous professional consequences that inevitably belong to the sacrifice of your great department to the emergencies of a political struggle. I should be indeed happy to find my apprehension ill-grounded, and still more so that we have the certainty of your continuance in a post so universally approved.—Believe me always yours most truly, " G. A. SEYMOUR." The vacancies thus filled up had been reported by him. but not as requiring to be supplied. If that was wanted the surveyor would make a representation to the effect that it was so. At this point in Commodore Seymour's examination the committee adjourned till to-day, at 11 o'clock. THE CASE OF ABORTION AT CLAPHAM. Yesterday, Chas. Cunningh - cm, alias Smith, de scribing himself as a surgeon, of Slough, and James Thompson Currie, of Norfolk-street, Fitzroy-square, also describing himself as a surgeon, were charged, with George Thomas, a chemist, of Leather-lane, Holborn, at the Lambeth Police-court, with being concerned in various degrees in an attempt to procure abortion. In justice to the profession, it should be stated that neither of the two first-mentioned defendants is connected with any one of the corporation of legally qualified practitioners of medicine in England. The former . examinations of the prisoners have been reported in our columns. On this occasion the victim of the practices charged upon the prisoners was in attend ance to give her evidence. The first witness called was, Mrs. Ann Morden, of Ely-place, Holborn, who stated that she was the mother of Eliza Morden, the prosecu trix. She did not know that her daughter was enciente until after the proceedings out of which this charge arose. The Rev. George Campbell Gordon came to lodge at her house in the month of March, 1851, and remained there a lodger until last Saturday week, when he left, and he had not taken away any of his things. Mr. Gordon is about fifty-five years old, an unmarried man, and a curate of the parish church of St. Andrew's, Holborn. The next witness called was Eliza Morden. She looked younger than the 22 years which were assigned as her age, and gave her evidence with much clearness. She stated that she was at present staying at the house of Mr. Holcomb, 4, Stockwell-road, Private-road, Clapham. She knew the Rev. George Campbell Gordon, who was curate of St. Andrew's, Holborn, and who lodged at her mother's house in Ely-place. In the month of September last, said the witness, an improper intimacy took place between Mr. Gordon and myself. In consequence of my state a lodging was taken for me at . Hackney in the month of December, and a medical man (Dr. Gillett) was called in to see me. At that time I was not conscious I was in the family way. Afterwards I sent Griffin, an old servant of my mother's, to Mr. Mullins, a chemist in Leather-lane, Holborn, to get some pills, describing to her my irregu larities. When I sent Griffin out I did not tell her to go to Mullins's shop in particular. I did not mention any shop, nor did I suggest the name of the prisoner Thomas. At that time I had not heard it. The next night, in consequence of what the witness Griffin told me, I went to Mullins' shop myself, and there I saw the prisoner Thomas. I asked him if he was the gentle man that a female had been to see about a young per son. He said "yes," and asked me to walk into the surgery behind the shop. He felt my body and my stomach, and told. me I was in the family way. Ho said that he had got a friend who would put me all right. I asked him what I should have to pay, and his reply was "10/." At that time nothing was said as to whether I was married or single. I did not say to him that I was in the family way. I did not believe it till he told me. I said 101. was a great deal of money to give, and I did not know whether I should be able to get it or not. He said he should see his friend, and desired me to call again. Mr. Norton—You have stated that the first time you had improper intimacy with Mr. Gordon was in Septem ber. Can you state the last time when this occurred. Witness—Not for a month before I left home, and from my home I have been three weeks. Witness (in continuation)—On the following Monday, or two or three days afterwards, in the evening I think; I saw the prisoner Thomas at the shop iu Leather-lane. He told me had seen the gentleman, and " he would do the job for the 101." He did not say what he was to do. That was all that passed. He did not mention the name of his friend at that time. I was told to call ; and, though no time was mentioned, I did call again in a day or two afterwards. I think it was in the evening. I told the prisoner Thomas that I was not quite right. He asked me if I lived at home. I told him I lived with my mother. He did not ask me my name, but he gave me a bit of paper with Dr. Smith's (Cunningham's) address upon it. That paper I have lost, but it stated that Dr. Smith could be seen from ten to twelve o'clock. at Dr. Currie's, No. 10, Norfolk-street, Tottenham court-road, near the Middlesex Hospital. I went to Mr. Smith's address and asked for him. On doing so I saw the prisoner Cunningham, who came out from behind the counter. The shop was a chemist's shop, and the prisoner Cunningham asked me if I was the young person Mr. Thomas had been speaking to him about. I said yes. At this time I think Mr. Currie was in the shop, but I can't say that he heard me ask for Dr. Smith, nor whether he was near enough to hear what had been said. The prisoner Cunningham—alias Smith—said to me, "Go into the surgery," and I went. He pulled down the blind and was going to examine me, but he would not do it without the money down. I told him I had but two pounds, which I took out of my purse and placed on the table. He said he could not give his advice until he had the 101. down. I said Iliad not got it with me, but that I had got it at home, and I asked him if he could arrange to come down to my lodg ings at four o'clock the next day. Before this I had asked Mr. Gordon for the money, and Mr. Gordon gave me the 10/. I called again at the prisoner Currie's, and saw a female, and asked if Mr. Smith was at home. The female said no, but called Dr. Currie. I asked him if Dr. Smith was at home. He replied in the negative, but that any message that I left he would deliver to him. Accordingly I left a message for Dr. Smith to call on me at my lodgings. He came, and I gave him the 101. He told me to lie on my left side on a sofa in the room, and I did so. He used some instrument under my clothes. A full quarter of an hour elapsed during the operation ; but during the operation, in which both the prisoner's hands were engaged, I felt something going round like a worm or a corkscrew. There was not any particular pain. He told me to bear it patiently, and after half an hour I got up. He asked me how I felt. I said pretty well, and then he left. He came again every day for about a week. I never saw the instrument, but I believe he used it every time lie came. On each occasion that he came the operation was the same. I lay on my side every time, and felt a pain, a short pain, when the i ns t rument was used. At the end of the week he said he was quite satisfied that everythinc , was done that he could do. A week after this I went home to my mother's, where I remained about two months. In that time I frequently saw Mr. Gordon. I told him I was not in the way I should wish to be. He said he would write and ascertain if Mr. Smith would see me again. I called two or three times at the prisoner Thomas's, and he said he should forward any letter or message to Mr. Smith, and eventually I wrote a letter to Mr. Smith, and gave it to Mr. Thomas, making an appoint. ment with the former to meet him at No. 24, Essex street. Strand, a lawyer's. There I wont to an empty room at the top of the house, in company with a Mrs. Cornelius, who is sister to Mrs. Holcomb, in whose house I now live. The prisoner Smith came to us to the empty room, and then again performed another opera tion on me the same as before, and with an instrument. I felt a similar pain. Mr. Norton—What perform an operation in an empty room ! Was there no furniture of any sort in it ? Witness—Only a carpet and a sort of couch, or sofa bedstead. I lay on the latter, with my face to the wall. He then told me it was "polypus," and used the instrument as before. He told me I must get away from home for a week, and desired me to take a lodging, and in consequence I got the lodgings where lam now staying. It was on the 11th of April that I was in the empty room in Essex-street, and on the Tuesday following I went to Stockwell. After get ting my mother's consent to go to Mrs. Holcomb's I wrote to the prisoner Smith requesting him to call on me at my new lodgings, and left the letter at Thomas's, requesting him to forward it, Thomas inquired what Mr. Smith had said about me, and I said " a polypus." Smith called on me on the day I removed to Stockwell, and he then used the instrument in the back parlour at Mrs. Holcomb's, while I was in the same position as before, with my face to the wall. By his desire I had first locked the door and pulled down the blind. He came again on the Wednesday and Thursday, and ap plied the instrument as before. On the Friday and Saturday he brought me some powders, which were taken in water, and were very nasty to the palate. They were of a greyish colour, and gave me great pain in my stomach, and so I told Mr. Smith, On the Tuesday or the Wednesday he used the instru ment again, but did not say anything about the pow ders. On the Saturday I felt very ill indeed, and sent for him to the lodgings he had taken at Stockwell. He came between seven and eight on the Sunday morning, and inquired how I was, and I said, "Very ill." He replied that the "pains were coming on." He came again in the middle of the day, when I told him I felt much worse, and he said, "It will be soon over." He came a third time in the afternoon, and re mained sitting at my bedside two or three hours. On Friday and Saturday he wished me to get up, but the pains were so great that I could not do so. On the Sunday evening, when my mother arrived, 111. r. Smith [PRICE SD. I was in the room w i t h me, but, on hearing her voice, he left and went into another room. My mother, finding Ime so ill, said she wished a doctor to see me, and while she was gone for a doctor Mr. Smith returned to the room. My pain at this time was very great, and Mr. Smith took something from me with his hand which he put into a piece of paper, and carried away with him. The prisoner Smith called on me on Monday, when he Isaid he was very. glad to see me go i ng on so well, though felt very poorly. A further remand was here requested, and acquiesced in by the magistrate who peremptorily refused to admit the prisoners to bail, except Currie, for whom respon sible sureties were offered for his re-appearance on a future day.

The Agamemnon, 90, screw, Captain Sir Thomas Maitland.—We reported this ship as having gone to the measured mile on Tuesday last, to test her powers. She may not only be classed as a line-of-battle ship of extra ordinary power, but she may be classed as a first-rate steamer, having attained the astonishing average speed of 11 knots 2. The Imperieuse, 60, screw, Captain Rundle B. Wat son, took her trial yesterday at the measured mile at Stoke's Bay, having the Commander-in-Chief on board; shortly after which the Fairy hove in sight, from Osborne, and his Royal Highness the .Prince Albert honoured the captain of the Imperieuse by being on board during the trial. She may well be classed as the finest frigate in the whole world—combining power, speed, and beauty unequalled. The Prince expressed the gratification he felt in witnessing what has never before been accom plished—that of a 60-gun frigate, with her armament and stores complete, under her auxiliary screw, doing an average of over 10 knots an hour. On his Royal High ness leaving this splendid frigate he was saluted with 21 guns. - -- The Hastings, 72, Captain Francis W. Austen.—This unhappy ship was paid off to-day, and it is with hear felt pleasure that we notice how fully our best anticipa tions were realised by the decorous and exemplary con duct of the whole crew belonging to this ship. We wit nessed the orderly and excellent bearing of these highly disciplined and well-conducted men ; and it is something indeed to say that of a crew 'comprising 600 British sailors, not a single case of drunk enness occurre d. W e were pleased to see how many made for the " Sailors, Home," avoiding the " stagabout crimps." It is evi dent that the honest British tar is becoming a rational thinking being, and has learned to judge for himself, and we felt more than pleased to hear the kindly ex pressions that came from the hearts of the men on leav ing the ship. When their officers said " Farewell my lads," their response was, with their hats off " God Almighty bless you, sir." These are the men who are subjected to be tortured with the lash. The marines, belonging to the Woolwich division, marched out of the Ford at 10 a.m. , to be in time for the t ra i n . Th e y were accompanied by the greater part of the crew to the gates, and cheered right earnestly on their departure. The remainder, some 27 in number, under the command of Serjeant-Major Torrington, belonging to the Portsmouth division, crossed over to the Royal Clarence-yard on their way to Forton Barracks. The serjeant-major bears a most excellent character, and has been with the ship the whole of her commission. The ship has only lost twelve hands on board, during her commission of five years, which may be attributed to the care bestowed upon them by their excellent surgeon, Mr. Robert T. C. Scott, who, with other five gentlemen belonging to the ward-room, are those who left England in the Hastings--Lieut. Ed mond Webber and Lieut. John Y. Holland, Royal Marines ; Rev. W. L. Onslow, chaplain ; Mr. Henry Brehaut, master ; and Mr. Walter Burke, paymaster. The Dauntless, 24, screw, Captain Edward P. Hal stead, was inspected this day, by the Commander-in- Chief, Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas John Cochrane, who went out to Spithead in the Sprightly, Master Com mander Allea, at 1.30, and was received on board by the topsail and lower yards being manned. The Vice- Admiral was accompanied by Captain Chads, of the Ex cellent, who drilled them for upwards of five hours, re turning into harbour at 5.30. She will discharge her powder and shells and come into harbour. The Encounter,l4, screw,Captain O'Callaghan, is under the sheers, in the steam basin, unrigging ship and get ting out boilers. The Echo, steam-tug, went out of harbour with the Orestes, portable coal depot, in tow, to supply the Aga memnon and Imperieuse, completing their stocA. of fuel. A steamer, called the Prince, arrived from Portland, with a few convicts, and will take back to that isle up wards of 90, from the New Prison at this port, to be el , gaged at the works now in progress there. WOOLWICH, MAY 5. APPOINTMENTS, Lieutenants—William Burley Grant (1852), to the Comus, 14, sloop, commissioned this day at Sheerne.., ; and Edward Hardinge (1852), to the Nerbudda,l2, bi;g, commissioned this day at Chatham. Commander Charles F. Newland (1847), and Lieu In ants Alexander Anderson (1842), and George W. Towsey (1846) have been appointed to study steam at the factory at Woolwich Dockyard. The Melampus, 42, is to take on board at Sheerness about 600 tons of iron ballast to be put on board the James Watt, 90, at Pembroke, previous to that screw steam-ship being navigated to Devonport. A great number of hands have been employed at the basin here to-day in putting the machinery, &c., of the Algiers, 90, on board the Cyclops steam-frigate, for con veyance to Devonport.

One is a short notice in the Constitutionnel of a list of 55 new commissaries of police for the departments published by the Moniteur ; the other is a long article in the Pays on Algeria, in which the writer urges the formation of companies with the command of capital for the encouragement of enterprise in that colony. The remarks of the Constitutionnel appear to be fully justified by the list that has been published. One is almost surprised to find that persons in the position of life therein mentioned should accept functions, the pecuniary remunera tion of winch is by no means considerable, and which are not in the public estimation such as to give to the persons performing them a rank in so ciety which would compensate for the low salaries that are paid to them. The Emperor on Thursday gave a private audience to M. Eugene Scribe, president of the Association of Dramatic Authors and Composers, accompanied by sonic members of the committee. At this audi ence M. Scribe called the attention of his Majesty to the clauses of the bill which cancels the rights of dramatic authors and composers 20 years after their death, and solicited the Emperor to prolong that period. Tho Moniteur publishes a decree of the Emperor for the creation of Consultative Chambers of Agri culture in Algeria. The number of members is fixed at 30 for the province of Algiers, and at 20 each for the provinces of Oran and Constantine. They are to have an annual session, the period and duration of which are to be fixed by the Governor- General. A Paris correspondent writes to theind4pendance of BrusFele, under the date of the 3d :—" The fob lowing is related to me as positive. The Count de Chambord has applied to the Societe du Credit Foncier of Franc e to lend him 800,000 E, on the. mortgage of his domain of Chambord. The society would not entertain this application without con sulting the Government ; but the Government fully authorised the loan, and yesterday it was for mally made." "We understand," says the Constitutionnel, " that a Certain number of the Sisters of St. Joseph are going to reside in the E ng li s h Antilles. They have been rapplied for by the governments of the islands, which, notwithstanding their difference of religion, appreciate the services of these pious women." Yesterday being the fete of the Ascension, the Bourse was closed. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 30th have arrived, but their contents are not of political importance. The Beraldo remarks that-of late an extraordinary increase has taken place in all kinds of crimes in every part of the kingdom. The Espana states that the French Government has demanded autho risation from the Spanish Government to establish a telegraphic station at Irun, so as to unite its line from Bayonne to Paris with that from Madrid to Irun—such station to be given up to the Spaniards, when their projected lines of telegraph to the French frontier shall be completed. A letter says :—" The higher circles of Madrid have learned with regret the indisposition of the Empress of the French, and yesterday they waited on the Countess.de Montijo to express it. M. Eusebio Donoso Cortes, brother of Marquis de Valdegamas, Spanish Ambassador at Paris, has left in all haste for that city, in consequence of his brother's illness. The Queen yesterday presided at a Council of Ministers at Aranjuez. On the nomi nation of M. Bermudez de Castro; M. Moreno Lo pez was named Director of General Accounts, and M. Bazzanella, Director of Estan ca d as ( s t oc k so ld on account of the State) in the Ministry of Finance. Some nominations of governors of provinces were also made. All the rumours of a Ministerial crisis had ceased—so that the statement received the day before yesterday, that M. Bermudez de Castro had resigned, would appear to have been unfounded. It was added that all the Ministers were perfectly in accord, and that they possessed the fullest confi dence of her Majesty." M. Donoso Cortes, Marquis of Valdegamas, Spa nish Ambassador in Paris, died the day before yes terday at his residence in the Rue de Courcelles. He had been for more than a month labouring under an acute disease of the heart, for which he was attended by the first physicians of the capital. His state had several times improved, and on the night preceding his death, there was nothing to indicate such a speedy decease. At about half past four the next day, his breathing became so difficult that the patient requested a priest to be sent for. The Austrian and Prussian Ambassadors soon afterwards arrived at the Spanish Embassy to inquire after the health of the Marquis, and they were present at the religious ceremony of extreme unction, and received the last sigh of their illus trious colleague. M. Donoso Cortes died apparently without pain ; a slight sigh was all that announced his decease. He had scarcely attained his 44th year. He was Grand Cross of the Spanish Orders of Charles 111. and Isabella the Catholic, and. Grand Officer of the Legion of Honour. His ami able qualities and his affability attached to him all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. ITALY. - - The Milan Gazette of the 30th ult. contains the following notification from the militaiy command ant of Lombardy : " His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief of th Army, Governor-General, Field-Marshal Count Ra detzky has authorised me gradually to mitigate the rigorous state of siege imposed upon this city after th 6th of February last. Besides the alleviations recently conceded, I find it expedient to order from the Ist of May :—Article 1. All the societies legally existing pre viously, may resume their meetings on observing the proper prescriptions ; all the theatres may also be re opened with the permission of the competent local au thorities. Art. 2. All the gates of the city, except the Porta Vigentina and Porta Ludovica, shall henceforth be opened at 4 a.m. and closed at 10 p.m. The passage of horses and carriages on the bastions is entirely free ; fo foot-passengers the time is restricted to the hours during which the gates remain open. The existing regula tions, with respect to passports at the gates of the city, still remain in - vigour. Art. 3. To those who lodge either strangers or subjects of Lombardy, I grant hence forward 24 hours' time to notify their arrival to the police as prescribed, on pain of incurring a fine of 10 Austrian livres (100 fr.) and a fortnight's imprisonment for every omission. Beepers of lodging -houses may also be deprived of their licences in case of a relapse. Art. 4. At night the sentinels shall only challenge such persons as shall appear to approach them in a suspicious manner, and in case they shall not immediately obey the challenge, the sentinels shall use their arms. Art. 5. In the interest of public tramps illity I find it expedient to remind the public that it is forbidden to make a noise, cry aloud, or whistle ' • whoever does not de sist on the first summons shall be arrested. Art. 6. In case of any disturbance of public tran quillity, it is prescribed that all persons not belong. ing to the army, or not obliged by their office to aid in restoring order , shall immediately retire into their dwellings, in order to avoid being arrested as accom plices..

THE NEW SAXON INVASION OP IRELAND. The Galway Packd contains a remarkabl e ' article in reference to what it calls " the conquest pistecom " of Ireland by the Saxon :—" The Saxon in Irel d an may no longer be regarned as a sentimental tourist sitting on the box seat of a mail-coach, with sketch -book in hand, delineating the physical appearance of the country, and carricaturing the ' wild Hirish.' He is now a verit able settler, snugly located in every romantic spot along our western coast. The fertile farms that have lain waste for the last few years, from which extermination drove the oppressed natives, and the hous es w h ere i n fa mine seized i t s vict i ms, are being fast occupied by Eng lish and Scotch settlers. Whether they will, like the brave old Ang,lo-Normans, become more Irish than the Irish themselves, and resist the oppressions that drove forth their predecessors into death or exile, remains to be seen ; but some of the fairest portions of Ireland will shortly be in the actual occupation or under the control of the Saxon is a fact that can no longer be questioned. Every day English speculators in Irish farming may be seen on their way westward in sea rc h o f su i ta b le homesteads.
