SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE. LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. NIAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in earistence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitfhl Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are Principles of personal management which cannot be violated without Incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties stay be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be remove, and how the evil and its consequenc es may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged In an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and is the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is tree. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply rewarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated Publications, assumed 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 contain the fee of U., and advice and Medicines can he forwarded to any initials or address. _ _ It is desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LA'AIERT hould 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.

ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORREKEA, with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors In relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the Generative System, or Sexual Hypochondriasis. Translated from the German of Dr. PICSFORD "Dr. Bickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi ctt contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs as, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his 'ewer to correct." —London Medical Gazette. May 30, 1851. The tribeof ' Quiet Syma thisers,'and ' Medical Friends,'are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book could find its way into the hands of those who stiffer from the com plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would se saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of 'en importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize— much m0ney...... This volume is well qualified to put an end to the empirical system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to place the treat ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore, likely to do much good."—Medical Circular, June 16, 1852. London: H. Balliere, 219, Regent-street. AN EXTRAORDINARY STORY. A packing-case maker in the the quarter St. Martin, Paris, on commencing work on Tuesday morning, per ceived a well-dressed man of forty years of age pass fre quently before him and look at him attentively. At length the stranger asked him what o'clock it was. The man answered " Seven ;" whereupon the stranger said, " You begin work early—you must earn a good deal ?" " I just earn enough," was the reply, " to maintain my family ;" and seeing the stranger was anxious to get into conversation, be continued, " I have a young wife and three children. I work for myself, but I only began business with my savings as a workman, and my wife brought me nothing. But Ido not repent having mar ried her, for we are attached to each other !" " Could you not extend your business ?" "To do that I must have money." A good deal ? Would 10,000 E, for example, be enough ?" "Oh ! that would be more than is necessary ! But if I had that sum, I would with my activity, soon rival the best of my trade !" " Well," said the stranger, " give me your name exactly, and I will endeavour to do something for you I" The trades man banded him one of his cards, and the stranger went away. In the afternoon, when the man had almost for gotten the visit of the morning, he was surprised to see the stranger come in, and present him with a carefully sealed parcel. " I confide this to you," said he, " and I require that you shall not open it until twenty-four hours shall have elapsed ! You will find it contains something that concerns you, but I repeat that you must not open it until to-morrow at this time, unless you see me in the meantime 1" The stranger did not again appear, and yesterday, at two o'clock, the trades man, pressed by his wife, broke the seals of the parcel. He then found a paper containing these lines :—" Im perative reasons oblige me to quit life. I shall go far from Paris to accomplish my design. At the moment at which you read these lines, I shall be no longer in existence. But before dying, lam anxious to promote the happiness of an honest family. The information which I have obtained respecting you, convinces me that my money will be well placed. You will find en closed a sum of 10,000 fr., with a donation of it to you in due legal form." Enclosed were ten notes of I,ooofr. each. THE OUTRAGE AT BARNET.—On Friday evening a third fellow, implicated in the horrible case of rape and mur der which was perpetrated some time ago on a poor woman at Chipping Barnet, was arrested by Inspector Handley, at Rotherham. He gave his name as James McDonnell, and said he was a native of Whitehaven. The fellow admits his participation in the crime. He even describes the precise manner in which it was per petrated, and chuckles over the circumstance that he had hitherto evaded detection, stating that he has walked side by side with the police in London, Leeds, Bir mingham, and other towns, unnoticed and unsus pected. He says that two of the men held the woman whilst he effected his purpose. He further adds that he shall not be hung for the offence, and he cares no thing about transportation for ten years, as he con siders that term the limit of his punishment. He was taken before Mr. G. W. Chambers, a West Riding magistrate, at the Town-hall, on Saturday, and re manded until Mr. Bland, the superintendent of police, had communicated with the authorities at Barnet. The prisoner was wretchedly dressed, and stated that he had been obtaining a livelihood by begging. ELOPEMENT. — An elopement took place from the ! banks of the Tay on Monday, the 3rd curt.--a subaltern of a Highland regiment having carried off a young lady of fortune from her father's mansion. He was accom panied by a clergyman, and it is understood they fled to Edinburgh, where the knot was tied.—Edinburgl6 . Witness. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 19, 1853. THE EASTERN QUESTION. (From the Times.) The manifesto of the Sublime Porte, which we yesterday published, is, in some respects, one of the strongest and most unanswerable State papers which have been issued during the present century. Such a case does it establish against Russian vio lence, that a reader unacquainted with the broad bearings of the question and the peculiar relations of the two Governments would conceive that Turkey had been absolutely faultless in the trans actions which created the quarrel. And this, indeed, as far as the present embroilment is con cerned, is little more than the truth. The Porte has given Russia no cause of complaint whatever ; it has endured great provocation with much for bearance, and, with an obvious desire to avoid a rupture, it has risen at last only against continued aggression, and the casus belli now [accepted is a true case, and constituted solely by the acts of its enemy. The only weakness of the document lies below its surface, and beside the point immediately at issue. The Sultan is not justified in assuming that the Christian subjects of the Porte have always been treated with perfect consideration, irrespectively of any protectorate extrinsically exerted ; 'and, though the Ottoman Cabinet has an undoubted case of war against Russia, it might have been more prudent, and more becoming, in a State notoriously relying on external protection to guide itself at so arduous a crisis by the advice of its protectors. Nothing, however, can exceed the moderation and truthfulness of the manifesto in its exposition of the rupture itself. In the dispute about the Holy Places, which introduced the inore serious requisitions of Russia,. the Divan had perhaps, in some degree, erred, but the duplicity of its policy —we use the term in its least unfavourable sense was almost a necessary incident of its political impotence and anomalous position. Two powerful Governments were contending for prerogatives within the Turkish dominions. France applied first, and the Porte yielded to the applica tion. Russia applied next, and alleged that the con cession made in favour of France derogated from concessions made previously in favour of herself. The Porte would willingly have obliged both par ties, but this, as each desired a pre-eminence over the other, was impracticable, and the Government of the Sultan therefore played fast and loose with the two suitors in turn, for the simple reason that, while it could not satisfy both, it was reluctant to offend either. In such behaviour there was evi dently little to be severe upon, and, even if Russia had experienced any slight in the course of the transaction, the injury, by her own acknowledg ment, had been fully repaired, nor did it furnish the smallest warrant for her subsequent demands. This is a point to which it is extremely desirable to attend, for the claims put forth by Prince Mens chikoff's Note have been sometimes referred to the previous difference about the Holy Places, as if a general understanding had been rendered necessary by the state.of things thus disclosed. This argu ment, however, is wholly destitute of foundation. The demands of the Czar which occasioned the present opposition were in no degree connected with the competition of Greeks and Latins respect ing the Holy Shrines ; they had reference exclu sively to the dependence of the Greek Christians upon himself, as head of the Greek Church, to the prejudice not only of the Sultan, but of the Patri arch of Constantinople as well. They evinced, as both Turkey and Europe discerned, not a mere de sire for the precedence of Greeks over Latins, but ' a deliberate intention of transferrin g insensibly to St. Petersburg the allegiance owned by four-fifths of the Sultan's European subjects. While it is thus evident, both from the facts of the case and the concurrence of European Cabinets in the conclusion, that the demands of Russia were unjustifiable in themselves, it is also incontestable, as the Turkish manifesto is at pains to show, that the invasion of the Principalities was such an ag gression upon the Porte as to constitute a veritable casus belli. This also is a point deserving some attention, for, although to English eyes it may seem to admit of no apology, foreign publicists have been found to argue against the deduction thus maintained. It is quite true that the Danubian Principalities stand in a peculiar and anomalous relationship to the Porte, nor can the pretensions of the manifesto, in describing them as " integral portions of the Ottoman Empire," be sustained without material qualification. Nevertheless, whatever the Sultan may have lost or the Czar ac quired with respect to these territories, the rights of each are specially defined by a treaty as recent as 1849, and this instrument, while specifying in what cases Russia may occupy the Principalities, does certainly not provide for an occupation like the present • so that a valid treaty between Russia and Turkey has been violated by the former. We can dispose, however, of the entire argument irt a very few lines. The occupation of the Danubian provinces by the Czar must be an unlawful and aggressive act, for otherwise, by his Majesty's own statement, it is an act of no import at all. It was first distinctly held out as a menace, and then carried into execution avowedly as a measure of coercion. If it was not an act of aggression, or, in other words, if no force was put upon Turkey by the proceeding, how could, it aid the Czar in the promotion of his designs, and where was the " material guarantee" which the seizure was declared to convey ? If Russia, in crossing the Pruth, was doing no more than she was entitled to do, the act loses its significance altogether. Coercion applied by one State to another State necessarily implies aggression or force on the part of the State coercing. In times past this country, when embroiled with France, has dispatched expeditions to occupy Belle Isle, but the points in dispute would have been very little forwarded if we had merely sent them to occupy Jersey. There can be no doubt a t all that Russia has given Turkey ample cause for a declaration of war, and the Czar is no more entitled to take offence at such a proceeding than a man who sends a chal lenge can complain if his challenge is accepted. The whole rupture, with all its consequences, lies at the door of the Emperor Nicholas alone. If he himself, without putting his battalions in motion, or threatening any resort to force, had been con tent to refer his demands to the representatives of Europe, he might then, with some reason, have deprecated an appeal to arms on the part of the Porte. As it is, he would have no ground of remonstrance if Omer Pasha crossed the Danube and fell upon his forces without leave or warning given. No restraints whatever rest upon the Porte with regard to Russia ; its obligations in this respect were due only to those European Powers on whose assistance it must ultimately rely. Besides this, it cannot be forgotten that the remote subject of the dispute—that is to say, the dominion of a Moslem Sultan over millions of Christians on Christian ground, cannot be con templated by Christian States as a dominion essen tially meriting their countenance or support. This is the weak point of the Turkish case. The Otto man Government has been unjustly attacked, as its manifesto shows, but it is a Governmeat of such a character that, though brought to a depend. ence on foreign protection, it can never be sin• cerely approved by its protectors, or long main. rained even by all their efforts. FORTUNATE ESCAPE OF A RIVER STEAMER FROM DE STRUCTION.—Yesterday afterno on th e " B ee ," one o f th e halfpenny boats which ply between Dyers'-hall Wharf, London -bridge, and the Adelphi, narrowly escaped an accident, which would in all probability have led to its destruction and to the sacrifice of a vast number of lives, there being upwards of 100 passengers on board. The two boats, the "Ant " and the "Bee," which carry the half-penny passengers, have a rudder at both ends, so that they never turn, the only precaut i on t o b e t a k en before leaving either of the piers, being that the rudder at the head of the vessel shall be so secured that it may not counteract the other. This was carefully done, and the " Bee " left Dyers'-hall Wharf in the usual manner. It proceeded, withthe tide, at a r a pid ra t e , an d had got i some distance onits way, when the man at the helm found, that although he was steering in the usual man ner, his rudder would not act, and th a t th e vesse l was at the mercy of the tide. This was immediately com municated to the captain, who instantly ordered the machinery to be stopped, and on making an investiga tion,the uniform of the Company, , r w n ith some other lads. had loosened the ro pes by which the rudder at the bead ari e Telegraph g r t a h p a h t a c o b m o y p w subin ascertainedn of the vessel was secured. Had this taken place a few yards nearer South wark-bridge th an it did, th e vessel would in all probab ility have been dashed against one of the piers, as the tide was running up very strong, leading to results fearful to contemplate. ETHNOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON.—Dr. Wilhelm Freund, who left London last spring for the purpose of collecting facts bearing upon the ethnology of the ancient inhabitants of the Tyrol and the Grisons, has just re turned to this country, Ethnological Society of London th e resu lt s o f hi s lite rary researche s in this interesting part of Europe.

VIE BUSSO-TURKISH QUESTION. Last night a densely crowded public meeting of the inhabitants of Finsbury took place at the Music-hall, Store-street, Bedford-square, for the purpose of calling upon her Majesty's Government to aid the Turks in compelling the Russians to evacuate the Danubian prin cipalities. Mr. T. S. DUNCOMB; M.P., having been voted to the chair, proceeded to opels the business of the meeting. He said, that often as he had had the honour of meeting in public assembly the 4 tors of Finsbury, he could not recall to his recollectio y occasion upon which he had the pleasure of raced% 4 em which was so fraught with grave consequences, or: so great importance, as the cause for which they had that evening assembled. Look ing at the requisition which had called them together, he found that it was for the purpose of calling upon her Majesty's Government to assist by every means in their power to expel the Russian troops from the Danubian principalities, where they had committed a most un warrantable aggression upon an old ally, the Sultan. Looking at that requisition, it was quite clear that if it meant anything it meant war—(cheers)—and it was well worth the consideration of the people of this country whether they should or should not express, in terms not to be misunderstood,. how far they would sanction the Government of the day in proceeding to extremities of that description. They knew perfectly well that was one of the prerogatives of the Crown to declare war or to make peace ; but it was also one of the preroga- ves of the people to call to account for their conduct be Ministers who should advise to go to war, or it might be to conclude a dishonourable peace. (Cheers.) He confessed that he should like at this moment to have seen some preparations made by the Government for the re-assembling of Parliament, so that the people of this country, through their representatives, might be enabled to express their opinion as to what ought to be the conduct of England upon this occasion. That there had been a most unwonted and unjustifiable aggression upon the part of Russia no one could doubt, and that every hour the Russians remained in the Danubian prin cipalities they committed not only a wrong towards Tur key, but an insult towards Europe at large. Every one who had read the daily newspapers must be aware that there was a difference of opinion in this country as to what ought to be our course. They had doubtless read the accounts of what was called the Peace Conference at Edinburgh—(a laugh, and a voice, "Old women")—most amiably and delicately conducted ; but he must say that, looking at the materials with which we had to deal—the Nicholases of the north—he did not believe that that conference would make much impression upon those autocrats. In our negotiations with them he believed that, unless we meant gunpowder and nothing but gun powder, they would not attend to us at all. They w o uld snap their fingers, and we might just as well whistle to the winds as talk about amicable relations with persons so determined to do wrong if they had the power. Still, if the people of this country were for war, let them know what that war was to be for, and what it would cost us. They were aware that at the commencement of the last century, before all those wars took place, which he might almost say disgraced the close of it and the beginning of the present century, the taxation of this country was about 2,000,0001., and in 1815 it had risen to 70,000,0001., while the annual public expenditure, which had been about 3,000,0001., rose in 1815 to 130,000,0001. (Hear, hear.) Nevertheless, though those sums were great and the sacrifices had been large, we must not conclude a dishonourable peace or submit to any dis grace from the Autocrat of Russia. He was well aware that in discussing this question they were doing it under very great disadvantage in consequence of the secret system of diplomacy which had been too long pur sued in this country, but which he hoped and trusted ' was fast coining to a close. (Hear.) He did not know that there was an instance in which secret diplomacy had so completely failed, and the inconvenience had been so great, as upon this occasion. There were six great nations, including the belligerents themselves, who were engaged in this affair between Russia and Turkey. Five out of the six published the progress of events by circu lars, notes, and manifestoes ; but England published nothing ; and when Parliament was sitting all they could get from the Government was, " The negotiations are not complete, and it would be inconvenient to divulge what is at present going on." During the whole of that time foreign Governments were divulging and publishing the dispatches of our Ministers. (Cheers.) The Em peror of Russia, iu his first manifesto, stated that which was directly opposed to the truth, justifying the posses sion of Wallachia and Moldavia by the assertion, that our vessels were anchored within sight of Constanti nople. That, however, was not the case. It used to be said that, if truth and good faith were banished from all the world, it ought still to be found in the hearts of princes ; but it was not so now. What had happened ? France answered that circular, and England answered it ; but we had never been able exactly to ascertain the terms in which it had been answered by our Government. The circular of France was a spirited reply, and it told Russia in pretty plain terms that she had spoken a falsehood. Lord J. Russell had stated that the letter from England was very much to the same effect ; hut, as garbled pas sages of that reply had been published in the foreign newspapers, and misrepresentations took place, Lord Clarendon had been obliged to publish an official copy' of his answer, in order to set all matters right. Lord Palmerston had been amusing the ladies and gentlemen in the north, and had told them that the pre sent Government was going far beyond any Government that had ever been seen before, and that it was only necessary to point out any practical improvement to them to have it carried into effect. This was all very well if his Lordship were in earnest ; and if he were it would not be very difficult perhaps to convince him of the necessity of improving our system of secret diplomacy. (Cheers.) It was not for him to anticipate the resolu tions which they would adopt, nor would it be becoming of him to anticipate any of the sentiments they would express ; but he was satisfied that whatever resolutions they should adopt, or whatever opinions they should ex press, they would be in accordance with those great and liberal principles which he, as their humble representa tive in Parliament, had ever endeavoured to enforce. (Loud cheers.) Mr. SHAEN proposed the first resolution : " That the invasion of the Turkish empire by Russia is not only a wanton and unprovoked outrage, but a vio lation of international, law, and we therefore call on the Government to assist the Turks in compelling the Russian army immediately to evacuate the Danubian provinces." After a long and elaborate summary of the course of events in the East, Mr. Shaen proceeded to review the recent speeches of Mr. Cobden at Edinburgh. He described the speech of Mr. Cobden as enforced by five arguments, which he thus not very flatteringly disposed of. The first and second were beside the question, and were what were popularly known as "tubs thrown to the whale ;" the third was the argument of a coward ; the fourth, the argument of a hypocrite ; and the fifth the argument of a demon. Dr. EPPS seconded the resolution. Mr. D. URQIIIIA.RT, in speaking to it, impugned the whole system of diplomacy pursued by this country. The proposition which he wished to submit to the meeting was that there would be no escape from a war with France if we persisted in intermeddling with affairs in the East. Turkey was not weak. Turkey was a strong and a rising power, and within the last quarter of a century she had exhibited a spectacle hitherto unseen in the his tory of the brightest progress of any nation of ancient or modern times, having in that period quadrupled her commerce and doubled her revenue. Turkey was in dan ger by her strength. If Turkey wero weak and the pro vinces of Wallachia and Moldavia were occupied as they had been 50 times before there would be no danger to the Ottoman empire ; but, being full of strength and in dependence, she was now tortured by insult. Her con dition was that of steam held down until the boiler burst, and it was our Government which had placed her in that position ; for it was a " lie" to say that we had ever interfered to save Turkey ; we bad always interfered to put her down ; and it was also a " lie" to say that we had ever interfered to support any country whatever. In conclusion, he had the gratifying intelligence to commu nicate to the meeting, which he had only heard within the last two hours, that the Sultan had refused our offer of protection. (Loud cheers, and, an enthusiastic indivi dual, "Three cheers for the Sultan." The call was im mediately responded to.) Mr. Bronterre O'Brien then presented himself, and his appearance was the signal for a tremendous uproar. Some were for hearing him. Others were against his being heard. After half an hour's interruption, The CHAIRMAN put the question to the meeting, whether Mr. O'Brien be heard or not, when the show of hands appeared to be ,pretty equal. Mr. O'Brien still held his position on the platform, and essayed in vain to speak. An angry altercation took place between the chairman and himself, but, at length retiring from the front, Mr. O'Brien bawled, with sten torian voice, "If I am not to be heard, let no (me else speak." His friends acted upon this hint, and it was amid the most terrific uproar that the chairman subse quently put the resolution, and declared it to be carried. Mr. G. H. MONEY came forward to move the next resolution. but the disturbance continued, and at length he was obliged to give way to Mr. O'BRIEN, who expressed his general concurrence in what had fallen from Mr. Urquhart, and his belief that, had it not been for the perfidious diplomacy of the four mediating Powers, especially France and England, the Turkish question would have been settled long ago by the Turks themselves. Our Government had meddled with every nation upon earth where there was any plun der to be got, and had shed more blood, and caused more blood to be shed, to put down the freedom of the working classes all over the world, than any other Go vernment in existence. Mr. .G. H. MONEY then moved the second resolu- tion : " That the constant and systematic encroachments of Russia upon all her neighbours manifest a design to extinguish both national independence and popular go vernment, are fraught with danger not only to the peace of Europe but to the liberties of this country, and de mand both incessant vigilance and active resistance." Mr. J. HARNEY seconded the motion in a strong war speech, and it was carried unanimously. On, the motion of Mr. COLLETT the following resolu tion was also carried " That the system of secret diplomacy is calculated to mislead the people of this country, and has enabled the British Cabinet to assist continental despotism while professing a zeal for constitutional government." The proceedings terminated with the usual vote of thanks to the chairman. CITY COMMISSION OF SEWERS. Yesterday, a court, which was very numerously at tended, was held for the dispatch of public business ; Mr. Deputy. Peacock in the chair: THE SMOKE NVISANCE. Mr. Edmond Calvert, of the firm of Calvert and Co., the brewers;was again summoned for not having abated the nuisance complained of some months back, arising from the smoke issuing from the chimney of the brewery in Upper Thames-street. The CHAIRMAN (addr=2ssing Mr. Calvert) said, that when he was summoned before the court upon a former occasion, he had promised that he would get rid of the nuisance as soon as possible, and that complaint having recently been made 0 at the smoke from the chimney in question was as great an annoyance as ever, the court had deemed it necessary to cause him to attend, to hear whether lie had taken any steps with a view to this object. Mr. CALVERT replied that he had stated upon the for mer occasion that he had found it totally impossible to employ the smoke consuming furnace according to one of the patents then suggested, and which was asserted to be the best suited to the purpose, on account of the pe culiar construction of the buildings. Upon this he had applied to Messrs. Easton and Amos to furnish him with a report as to the practicability of adapting it, when those gentlemen advised that another patented furnace should be fitted. This had been in operation ever since last May, and bad proved to be utterly useless ; and it would not even do the work of the old furnace with the best screened coal. (Hear.) This alteration, which had proved an entire failure, had cost b e t ween 5001 . an d 1,0001. (Hear.) Mr. Calvert then produced a drawing of his brewery, and explained in detail and with great clearness the alteration s he was about to effect, stating that these would cost the firm 10,000/. ; but that they could not guarantee to carry them out in less than two years. He had had an interview with the Secretary of State for the Home Department a few days since upon this very subject, in the course of which he had made a similar explanation to that noble lord to that which he had now offered to the court, and the noble lord concluded by saying "you cannot do impossibili ties." (Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Calvert) could say on behalf of the firma that they were most anxious to abate the alleged nuisance, and in every way to accede to the wishes of the commission, notwithstanding the expens e they would nece ss ar ily b e compelled to incur ; but the alterations could not be effected in a less time than that which he had specified. (Hear, hear.) The foundation alone for one of the furnaces would be a work of six months. (Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN—The court are very much obliged to you for your explanation. Deputy OBBARD felt very greatly indebted to Mr. Cal vert for attending, and explaining what he had done in the shape of alterations, and what he intended to do. (Hear, hear.) He (Deputy Obbard) had lived in the City a great many years, and felt it his duty to say that although some new notions had lately been afloat with regard to the nuisance of smoke, yet the court must not, by acting with precipitancy and rashness, destroy the trade or profession of those who conducted their busi ness in the City, especially when, as in the present in stance, parties were ready to make vast pecuniary sacri fices for the purpose of getting rid of the evil complained of. (Hear, hear.) He had not the least doubt of the integrity and candour of Mr. Calvert, and thought him entitled to great credit for his exertions in carrying out the wishes of the commission. (Cheers.) Mr. CALVERT—We have lived in the City for between two and three hundred years, and are old brewers in it. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said that Mr. Calvert knew as well as the court did that there were certain acts of Parlia ment in existence which had been passed for the express purpose of getting rid of, amongst other nuisances, the one now complained of ; and as one of the large brew eries in the metropolis had succeeded in consuming their smoke, the question was whether the commission would perform its duty to the public if it did not inter fere and compel Messrs. Calvert, without further delay, to do every thing possible to mitigate if not thoroughly to suppress the nuisance. The CHAIRMAN—YOU hear that it will take two or three years. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR—Messrs. Calvert were in a diffi culty, and he was sorry for them. He believed they were doing a very great deal to lessen the nuisance, but at the same time they were not doing that which the pub lic and the public acts of Parliament called upon them to do. The commission must either cease to prosecute any body or at once compel Messrs. Calvert to construct new furnaces. (Hear.) Mr. HOPGOOD said he should be very sorry if the opinions expressed by the last speaker went forth to the world as the opinion of the commission. (Hear, hear.) Here was a large and important firm most anxious to spend 10,0001. to remove an alleged nuisance, stating. that it will take two years to make the necessary altera tions, and therefore giving good reasons for not being able to consume their smoke immediately. (Hear.) Deputy Hour was desirous of paying every court and respect, to the honoured house of Calvert, but should in sist that those gentlemen took the best means in their power to get rid of the nuisances. Mr. KEBBEL felt very much indebted to Mr. Calvert for the pains he had taken in explaining what alterations had already been made. Every member of the court ought fully to bear in mind the extreme difficulty of carrying out extensive improvements such as those now contemplated. (Hear, hear.) Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said that with a view of testing the feeling of the commission, he would move, " That well-authenticated evidence be obtained of the nuisance arising from the smoke issuing from the furnaces of Messes Calvert's premises, and that they be summoned before a magistrate for the offence." Deputy*ConNEY seconded the motion. Deputy OBBARD moved as an amendment, " That Messrs. Calvert having attended this court and explained the nature of their furnaces, and that they are curing the evil as fast as possible, and are willing to spend 10,0001. to abate any nuisance whatever, that the matter stand over for the present to enable them to make the necessary alterations. (Hear, hear.) Mr. EloPGood seconded the amendment. Deputy PEWTRESS thought the amendment should contain a specified time within which the works should be completed. Alderman COPELAND said that he had had the satis faction of turning the Smoke Nuisance Bill out of the House of Common three several times. (Hear, hear.) Was the business and trade of the City to be stopped by a proceeding such as the one now adopted against Messrs , Calvert ? (Hear, hear.) He (Alderman Copeland) had spent hundreds and hundreds of pounds in trying to get rid of the smoke nuisance at his works at Stoke - upon - Trent, and all to no purpose. (Hear, hear.) At the Government works at Woolwich there were always to be seen a broad pennant of smoke issuing from one of the largest chimneys in the kingdom. He, at the solicita tion of Sir Edward Buxton, had been to see an appara tus for the consumption of smoke. The apparatus fed the furnace by a piece of mechanism, but as to consum ing the smoke, that was quite out of the question. A friend of his (Alderman Copeland) had tried to consume the smoke at his manufactory, and had brought down a deleterious matter—sulphuric acid, which was ten times more injurious than smoke. (Hear, hear.) Mr. H. L. Taylor having withdrawn his motion, the amendment of Deputy Obbard was carried as an origi nal motion, the words being added, "And that six months be given to Messrs. Calvert for the comple tion of the works." This addition was for the purpose of jenabling the commission to ascertain how far the works had progressed during this period, which was only nominal, it being understood that Messrs. Calvert would be allowed the full per i od of two years ' to make the contemplated alterations. THE CHOLERA. The following is an ex t ract from the weekly report of the medical officer :—" I append my usual tabular state ment of City mortality for the past week, and am sorry to observe that the register contains a death by cholera ix George-court, Bennett's-hill, and I have further to report to your hon. court as follows :—ln three several places where premises are in a filthy and poisonous con dition, and where the orders of your hon. court for their improvement or disoccupation have been utterly set at nought, death has at length occurred in one case from fever, and in two other cases from diarrhoea. It is scarcely necessary to specify the names of these places as Plumtree-conrt, Fire-ball-court, and Windsor-street. The result is what might have been foretold, and requires no comment. I would simply recommend to your hon. court that instructions be given to your solicitor forth with to proceed against these three several offenders be fore the Lord Mayor, in order to recover the utmost penalties their homicidal negligence has incurred." The court then adjourned.

THE APPLE CROP IN THE WEST, A. vast increase has of late years taken place in t he quantity of cider made in the west of England, pa rticular attention has been paid to it in Devonshi re, and its quality has been much improved. The c i r n oi) of apples this year has been more than an average been exceedingly abundant. fact in some parts they have of Exeter, and in the ant. In the neighbourhood many orchards are South of Devon, the trees in Cider therefore is almost broken down with them. trade has sprun expected to be very cheap. A brisk and the aPple gup of late with the London market, of great im 0 crop in Devonshire is looked upon as one cargoes P 'lance. During the last few weeks some and ,__ have e been imported at Exeter from Frame, "T sold - at it. per hhd. of the necessity of measures of preven t• . means of obviating panic. On referring to the former visitations of cholera, as far as regards the metropolis, it appears that in 1832 the attacks were 14,144, and the deaths 6,729; the po pulation of London then being 1,681,641. In 1848-49 the attacks were about 30,000, and the death& 14,601 ; the population at that time being 2,206,076. So that in the epidemic of 1832 one person died in every .f5O of the inhabitants, or 4 per cent. ; whereas in 1848-9 one person died in every 151 of the inhabitants, or 66 per cent. The mortality, therefore, in 1832-3 was about two-fifths less than in 1849—that is, about 5,800 more persons perished of this epidemic in London in 1849 than in 1832. The epidemic of 1832 commenced in London on Feb. 16, and ended Sept. 7, 1833, including a period of about 19 calendar months. But it appears that during this period there was a cessation of deaths for eight months, so that there were in fact two epidemics, the first com mencing in February and lasting to November ; and the second commencing in August and lasting to Sep tember, 1833. The epidemic came to its height in the week ending July 27, when the deaths were 445, the greatest weekly mortality recorded during that visita tion. In the epidemic of 1848 the attack commenced in Sep tember, and the last death recorded in the return of the registrar-general was in December, 1849, so that the whole progress of this epidemic occupied a period of 15 calendar months. During the first six months, namely, from the end of September, 1848, to the end of March, 1849, the disease advanced progressively but irregularly, numbering in the whole of this period 988 deaths. During the follow ing months of April and May there was a lull in the disease, the deaths sinking to one in some weeks, and never in any week exceeding five ; but there was never, as in 1832, a complete cessation of the disease, for there was never a single week without at least one death. In the month of May, the total number of deaths did not exceed 13, but in the first week of June they sud denly rose to 2, increasing in the last week of the month to 124. From that period, the epidemic went on rapidly and uninterruptedly, increasing till it came to its height in the week ending Sept. 8, 1849, when the deaths toge ther, from cholera and diarhcea, amounted to 2,298. From this time the disease declined, and ultimately ceased, as has been stated, in December, 1849. There was thus one epidemic, with two well marked periods, the first extending from September to March, and the second from June to December:" r: :: In the first of itiAe'libi*s ire higreiriftlin*fivo p io tality was 94, namely, in the week ending Jan. 13, 1849, ' affording during that period a hope of a comparatively slight visitation ; but in the second period this hope was greviously disappointed, for the weekly mortality then rose as high as 2,298 in the week ending Sept. 8. The following table shows a considerable parallelism between the early progress of cholera in the metropolis in 1848 and now in 1853. That progress is, however, in almost every week more rapid now than it was in 1848 ; and comparing the total number of deaths during the whole of the 11 weeks with the number of deaths in the corresponding weeks of 1848, it will be then seen that the recent deaths have exceeded the former by nearly one-third.

It is remarkable, that gradual and slow as the pro gress of the disease has been in the metropolis in both visitations, there have been in both sudden and violent outbreaks in particular districts and localities. In 1848 it had scarcely appeared in the metropolis when in the very beginning of October it attacked Edinburgh with great violence, and spread in the course of a few days to the neighbouring towns of Newhaven, Portobello, Loan head, and numerous other places in the vicinity. In the beginning of November it attacked Glasgow, and subse quently a large number of manufacturing towns and villages in Lanarkshire, Ayrshire, Dumfriesshire, and other counties in the south and west of Scotland. Now it has attacked with the like suddenness and with in creased violence the northern English towns. The returns from the Metropolitan Commissioners of Police give 18 cases of cholera and 8 deaths. In the Millbank Penitentiary, where cholera was so peculiarly fatal in 1848-49, as compared with the mor tality from the same cause in other metropolitan prisons, there have been since the 24th August last nine cases of cholera and three deaths, two of which occurred on the 14th inst.

Mit chell's boomerang propeller took place to-day on board her Majesty's ship Conflict, at the measured mile in Stokes Bay. The weather was fine ; force of wind 1. The average speed of six runs was 9.913 knots per hour. The average of the second and third runs was 10.070 knots. The attainment of 10 knots an hour, within a small fraction, with so heavy a ship as the Conflict is regarded as a convincing proof of the sound principle of Mitchell's propeller, especially when it is remembered that all the trials on board the Conflict have been made with a mutilated boomerang to suit the construction of that vessel. One-third at least of the working surface of the boomerang has been sacrificed to this necessity. A larger aperture than usually occurs in ships constructed as at present is required for the full development of the boomerang, on account of the great space which the blade occupies in the direction of its axis. Her Majesty's steam-frigate L m l r a M oi o ei U en T n H e;l o 6 7 6e l p B ta . in Thomas F is h er, arrived from Portsmouth on Sunday. She called at Portland on the passage down. Her crew will be paid wages here. Bedding for 560 soldiers was sent yesterday from the Royal William Victualling-yard to the Queen, 110, Captain F. T. Mitchell, in the Sound. It is understood she will convey detachments from three regiments in Ireland to the Mediterranean. The crew of the Queen is some 200 short of her full complement. The screw corvette Desperate, 8, Captain W. W. Chambers, is ordered to be fitted with all dispatch for the Mediterranean. The crew of the steam-frigate Valorous, 16, Captain Buckle, were paid wages yesterday in the Sound. The foremast of the screw frigate Imp4rieuse, 50, Captain R. B.

Yesterday a large number of the livery of London as sembled at the London Tavern, on the invitation of Mr. Sheriff Wallis, to advise with him, and to decide upon the best means of assisting her Majesty's Commissioners in the forthcoming inquiry, and perpetuating the consti tutional right of local self-government. Mr. Sheriff WALLis having taken the chair, stated that, in obedience to the command of his Sovereign, he had waited until the very eve of the Royal Commissioners entering the city of London before he, as the junior sheriff, had taken any proceedings to assist them ; and he assured the meeting that under no circumstances whatever would he have come forward, did he not feel that if he neglected to do so the commission would end, as others had ended, in a mere fruitless inquiry. (Cheers.) It had been stated that his desire in adopting these pro ceedings was to make an attack upon the livery. (Cries of " No, no.") Did they think for one moment, that if he wished to make an attack upon the livery he should invite his fellow-liverymen to meet him there ? His object was to assist her Majesty's Commissioners in a searching investigation into all that was wrong in the corporation of London, and with that view he had sum moned them to meet him upon that occasion. He did not wish to dictate to the citizens of London what their future policy should be, but merely to place the thing in a tangible shape, so that they might, if approved of, call upon the Lord Mayor to convene a Common Hall in order that the voice of the citizens of London might be heard. It might, perhaps, be asked why he had not consulted his colleague in this affair. His answer simply was, that because his colleague, for some unex plained reason or another, had refused to consult him. He contended, however, that the interests of the citi zens of London should not suffer because two sheriffs could not agree. He did not ask them to take his word for granted ; but, at all events, they should not have an opportunity hereafter of saying that Mr. Wallis, the unanimously elected Sheriff of London, was not at his post when the time of trial was at hand. (Cheers.) At a time of great difficulty, and when no other sheriff could be found to support the dignity of his fellow-citi zens, he had come forward, and had taken upon himself that arduous and responsible office. He had not forced himself upon the livery, but had come forward, when requested to do so, in a time of great emergency, when their city privileges might have been involved and their rights invaded. (Cheers.) It was under those circum stances, and those alone, that he had taken upon him self the office of Sheriff of London. The present meet ing was not his, but was that of the livery of London. There had been no previous meetings--no secret inqui sitions held ; but he had upon his own responsibility convened them there in order that they might fairly entertain this question, and might not allow her Ma jesty's Commissioners to depart from that city again without having obtained all the information that was necessary for their purpose. (Cheers.) He should now leave the chair, and, if it were the wish of the meeting, it would be competent for them to elect any other per son to his place. (Cries of "No, no.") On the motion of Mr. SHEPHERD, seconded by Mr. BROWNE, the sheriff was requested to retain the chair. Mr. POTTER moved that those gentlemen who were not liverymen, and who were present, should be re spectfully requested to retire. Mr. JorrEs seconded the resolution. Mr. BROWNE proposed an amendment, and Mr. MASTERS seconded it, that the meeting proceed to business. The amendment was carried by a large majority. The CHAIRMAN then submitted to the meeting two resolutions, which he described as "hastily drawn," and which he left them to adopt or reject as might seem to them desirable. He was not prepared with the name of any mover or seconder ; but he would read the resolutions, and then perhaps some gentle man would support them. They were in the follow- ng terms : 1. That this meeting, informed of the appointment of Royal Commissioners for Inquiring into the State of the Corporation of the City of London, pledges itself to afford them all possible assistance in the discharge of their important, arduous, and responsible &ties. " 2. That a requisition be forthwith presented to the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, requesting Lim to con vene a meeting in the Common-hall to consider how they may best aid the commissioners in the dispatch of their important, arduous, and responsible duties." A LIVERYMAN inquired whether it would not be pos sible to take measures for preventing the attendance of any but liverymen in the Common hall ? He had been a member of the livery upwards of a quarter of a cen tury, and he had seen so much bribery and jugglery car ried on in that hall, and such an interference by persons who were not liverymen, that he was positively disgusted with the conduct there pursued. kCheers.) The CHAIRMAN thought that the question was one which the meeting could hardly deal with without assuming a power which belonged to the authorities, of preventing improper persons being in the hall. The LIVERYMAN inquired who the proper authorities were The CHAIRMAN said, that the Lord Mayor had the custody of the hall. Mr. BROWNE, of Fenchurch-street, then moved, and Mr. LIVINGSTONE, of Bishopsgate-street, seconded, the first resolution. Mr. BROOKE, in supporting the resolution, said his wish was that every man who paid scot and bore lot in the city of London should enjoy the right which inalien ably belonged to him, of voting for the chief officers ; and he believed that he spoke the feelings of the livery of London when he said that they were prepared to assist her Majesty's Commissioners in knocking down those barriers which existed, to the di.grace of the city of London, and which excluded men from voting because they did not pay a fine to a trading com pany of the city of London. (Cheers.) He asserted that it was essentially necessary that the commissioners should be supported in their investigations, because he knew the power of the corporation of London, and he declared to them it was an immense power. As a for mer member of the Common Council, he had no hesita tion in saying that the management of the corporation was corrupt, and that, test it whenever they would, it would be found to be as defective and corrupt as it had lately been proved to be in the election of Sheriff, of Chamberlain. of Alderman, and of Lord Mayor. (Cheers.) He complained that while a bill had passed the Legislature which had reformed nine-tenths of the municipal corporations throughout the kingdom, the city of London had dexterously managed to exclude themselves from, its operation ; and expressed a hope that the present meeting would prove the stepping stone to a great movement, which would result in the thorough reform of the corporation of London. Mr. JONES, in a lengthened speech, dwelt upoii the theory of the corporation, and hoped that the time woul d come when the dignity of labour and the skill of handi craftsmen of London would be recognised, as of yore, through the medium of the various guilds of the city. He believed that if a Plato were to visit the earth to project a new republic, he would take the theory of the corporation of the city of London as his model. (A laugh.) He maintained that that corporation was vener able by its antiquity, and that by its powers had been gained in past times much of the liberty which the people of England now enjoyed. Mr. WALTER supported the resolution, and while admit ting that in past times the corporation of London had dis tinguished itself in advancing the liberties of the people, said, that they might look in vain for such instances in the present day. In vain they looked to the corporation to cleanse the river, to throw open the bridges, to construct baths and washhouses, or to estab lish free libraries. In every respect there was a short coming, and he trusted that, when the inquiry took place, it would be a thorough and searching one, and that there would be found a sufficient spirit among the citi zens to induce them to come forward and give their evi dence before the commissioners freely and independently. After a few words from Mr. CARDEN, in which he gave it as his opinion that the commissioners would be perfectly competent to conduct their inquiry without the assis T tance u o l f u that meet was i n p g u , t and carried almost unani mously, but one hand being held up in opposition. On the motion of Mr. MASTERS, seconded by Mr. W. SMITH, the second resolution was carried, with two dissentients. A requisition to the Lord Mayor in the terms of the resolutions was also agreed to, and the proceed►ngs concluded with a vote of thanks to the Chairman for having called them together and presided over the meeting. SUSPECTED SUICIDE OF A GENTLEMAN.—Yesterday information was forwarded to Thomas Wakley, Esq., coroner for Middlesex, of the discovery of the body of a gentleman in the Regent's Canal.
