DR. SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matric•ilated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medic Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Ha l l , London, Sec., &c. rti r AY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on Y A the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications ewe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, bow te stin of their bitterness m be removed, and how the evil and its c h orvequ g ences may be avoided ay , 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 s the only legally qualified Physician who, st, regardless of the taunts aid e nv y of the hypocritical and ad the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enortnoas evils, from which no grade of society is tree. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply ree 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 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 consuitation daily from Eleven till Two, and from Six till Eight. All letters must contain the fee of 11., and advice and medicines can be forwarded to any initials or address. It i 3 desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LA'MERT should first obtain a copy of his work on SE LF-P RE SERVATION. A Medical Treatise on the Philosophy of Mrrriage, and Nervous and de s and Generative Debility, illustrated by fift y coloured engravings, 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 m a y be had, price 2s Gd, in Englis, French, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, or German, of Messrs.

LONDON_ MEETING of TWO EXTREMES in the WEATHER.—A few days ago deep snow-drifts, tremendous hail-storms, and sharp frosts visited several parts of the country, and at few days' notice were succeeded by the mildest breezes, genial sunshine, and all other warm indications of summer. This is, in deed, a meeting of two extremes in the weather. Such an occur rence creates an extreme demand for seasonable Clothing, elm sands, at the same time, desiring a complete change of Attire. On such occasions the magnificent and commodious Clothing Establish ment of E. Moses and Sorr becomes a public convenience, as well as a great advantage, from the fact of all its departments being separate and complete—distinct, but each communicating—whe r e minions can he furnished with nil the eiegancies and novelties of the season, and every fashionable order of Dress. either ready-mee or to measure, exhibiting the most superior quality at the lowest prices, these beinc extreme advantages to all classes triumphantly united. These business facilities are conveniently distributed in the metro polis; on the East at the Aldgato and Minories Establishment of E. MOSES and Sow, and at the West End by their Branch in New Oxford-street, corner of Hart-street, each being equally commo dious and always replenished with the most novel and tasteful dis plays of Clothing for all classes. Superior quality, artistic designs, unequalled workmanship, fashion, and comfort secured in Garments of Evening Fit, and, by a pecular process, rendered applicable to every style of Dress for Juveniles and Adults, and for every profes sion, purpose, or engagement. All articles charged prices so low that comparison is futile, and imitation an entire impossibility. Hats and Caps for the summer season, at E. MOSES and Sow's, combine endless variety, unequalled novelty, and unparalleled cheap ness. Hosiery for Ladies and Gentlemen, the nucleus of all seasonable introductions, charged lower prices than at any house in the world. Emigrants, previous to embarkation, may procure the most com plete Outfit and Dress required for the voyage to Australia, as well as for their pursuits when arrived. A separate department is appro priated to Emigrants; immediate attention paid to their applications. The lowest prices are charged for the Goods and Clothing they will need, and the quality and suitability of every article is guaranteed. Captains, Merchants, and Emigrants disposed for an investment will find the Wholesale Department at E. MOSES and Soles, Esta blishment, the most profitable and convenient for large or small amounts. Full Lists of Outfits for Ladies and Gentlemen and ship sailing information may be had on application, or post free to any part of the kingdom. CAUTION. —E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTIIER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 151, 155, 156, and 157, Minories, 83, 84,85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

WATFORD ; , wra has been thrown into a state. ;xcitement in consequence of the of ions conflagration, which in a c( brief period laid in ruins the premises ki Corn-exchange and Market-house, best damaging several of the surrounding houses, The flames originated in the Market-housf between 70 and 80 feet long and nearly containing 10 lofts, all filled with whoa. barley. The building was of great antiquity, not fail to be noticed by any one visiting the town, from the fact of its standing on a great nu m b er of heavy oaken pillars. The fire was seen at a few minutes before ten o'clock' last night, when it was issuing through one of the win dows, nearly facing the Spread Eagle Tavern. An im mediate alarm was given, and messengers were sent for the engines belonging to the town. The progress of the fire was, however, exceedingly rapid, and before io.• local engines could_arrive, the greater portion of t s extensive building presented a regular blaze, which t, row such a lurid glare over the district as to be perceptinle for miles distant. Unfortunately, no water is laid on in the streets, so that the engines, although some of Shard and Mason's best London make, could only be set to work from a limited supply of water furnished by the pumps in the yards of the Essex Arms and the Rose and Crown Hotels. The flames being thus almost unrestrained by the antagonistic element, they continued to travel along until the entire building was wrapped in fire, and even tually the houses opposite commenced igniting. • About 23 years since every house opposite the one on fire was destroyed by a similar misfortune, and the Market-house WAS then partially gutted. The authori ties, fearing that a similar calamity would happen, sent an electric-telegraph message to London for the aid of the Fire Brigade engines. Two engines were, by order of Mr. Braidwood, th e superintendent, dispatched to Euston-square, for the purp ose o f proceedin,r by a special train to the scene of the conflagratio n . When the fire men arrived there they were directed to go to the Camden Town station, which they accordin gly did, but after remaining th ere s o me ti me they were info ' rmed that no trucks could be procured, and the engines were obliged to be taken back to thei r respective stations. Mr. Braiciv• - o.od during tle day dispatched J. J arrar d, one of the engineers, to look after the salvage and asctr.' taM the amount of damage done. At noon to-day the ruins were still emitting sheers of fire, and some hours must elapse before the tire is wholly extinguished. The damage done may be thus described : The Market-house burnt down. The contents, con sisting of 90 qrs. of wheat, 100 qrs. of oats, and a con siderable quantity of barley and other produce, de stroyed. The premises of Mrs. Taylor, of the King's Head Hotel, severely damaged by fire and water. The Spgead F agle Hotel, kept by Mr. Coulson, has the windows &polished and shutters burned. The premises of Mr. Hollingsworth, a butcher, are also much burnt, and so are those belonging to Mr. Brunt,. also a butcher. . Mr, Flexman, a corn-dealer, and Mr. Tigon have like wise lost a great deal , of corn, deposited in the lofts of the MarkeVlibuse.

The Committee of Management have much satisfaction in inform ing the Shareho:ders that the Company's superintendent and engin eers, and mining captain (completing the staff), sailed from the Downs in the Agra, on the 21st inst. The Agra being a fast•sailing clipper, it is confidently expected she will arrive at Adelaide before the Caroline, which took out the machinery and several of the miners. Those dispatched by the emigrant ship Ramillies, in the early part of February, are probably now arrived at the mines, in structions having preceded them to the Colonial Committee to put the men at work immediately on their arrival. The Annual General Meeting of the Company will be held early In Jcne (as fixed by the Company's rules), when resolutions will be submitted for declaring the bonus, and for amending the rules of the cost book, to enable the Company to work for gold, or to lease cer tain portions of their property for that purpose to others.

ROBINS begs to inform the public he has received instructions from the Western Australian Land Company to offer for SALE, by Public Auction, at the Mart, London, on TUESDAY NEXT, at I' welve, in Lots, (unless previously dis posed of by Private Contract, of which due notice will be given) their EXTENSIVE AN IMPORTNT FREEHOLD ESTATES IN A NT F RE E H OLD EXCEEDING 130,000 ACRES, being the residue of the Estates of the Western Australian Land ComFany undisposed of, which the Directors are required to offer to Sale, by Public Competition, for the winding up of the affairs of that Company. A large portion of the Fstate has been accurately sur veyed, and the present affords an admirable opportunity to enter prising capitalists to acquire a LARGE AND VALUABLE TERRITORY IN THIS BRITISH COLONY, for agricultural operations, with much probability even of AURIFEROUS PRODUCE, Inasmuch as a portion of the Land forms a continued line or range, similar in character to THE DARLING RANGE IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA, WHICH HIS BEEN LITERALLY FOUND TO OVERFLOW WITH GO'. D. Mr. Robins feels he may with every certainty recommend these Lands as THE NUCLEUS OF A GRAND SCHEME for future. development, which, under skilful management, must not only lead to a most profitable result, but ultimately become a MINE OF WEALTH to.taa.lacdry_adventitrors. In the meantime, every information may be obtaineetof Few and CO., Solicitors, No. 2, Henrietta-street, or of Mr. Robins, Piazza, Covent-garden. LOWER CANADA. Four tine Freehold Estates, comprising* 132,652 acres, deserving the attention of the enterprising Capatalist. MR.. ROBINS is favoured with instructions to submit to PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY, June 2, at 12, together or in Lots, The Four singularly-important Lauded Estates of the GASPE FISHERY and COAL MINING COMPANY, - - Containing altogether 132,652 acres of land in Lower Canada, upon which the finest timber is growing, exempt from all seignorial rights, and held in free and common soccage, with indisputable titles. In these days of emigration to the West, which seems to offer the greatest attractions to the IN ally industrious, these Estates present to the speculator an unusual opportunity to employ his capital (under the influence and protection of the British Government) with every certainty of a large return :- 1. The Estate of P A BOS consists of 51,840 acres, near the entrance to the nal , of Chalenr, the boundary commencing at the Great Pabos River, and extending three leagues from the coast into the interior. several extensive and substantial bto !dings have been erected at this station for carrying on the fisheries, and are all in good order; and the Estate produces pine, spruce, cedar, and birch, 2. The Estate of NEW PORT adjoins the Pabos Estate, and con tains 10,394 acres. A voluble water-power saw mill has been erected on this property, which is near the fishing establishment of the Company, where capital buildings have been erected well ca'eu lated for this branch of the business. Pine, spruce, cedar, and birch, are produced on the Estate. 3. The Estate of PORT DANIEL is a good harbour in the Bay of Chaieur, 18 miles west of Pabo, comprising 4,000 acres, well covered with spruce, birch, and juniper. 4. The Estate of BONAVENTURA comprises 66,418 acres in the township of Cox and Hamilton, on the Great Bonaventura River, a tine tract of land with pine, spruce, birch, cedar, and juniper. . The proposed Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, brought out under the most respectable auspices, both in England and Canada, and sup ported by the Government, and by which Halifax and Quebec will be pat into immediate communication with the Railways of the United States, runs in the immediate vicinity of the Bay of Chaleurs, on the borders of which the lands of the Company are situate. Mr. Robins begs to add that plans of these truly important proper ties may be seen at his offices, and full particulars may he had on application to Messrs. Amory, Travers, and Smith, solicitors, 25, Throgmorton-street, and Messrs. Roy, solicitors, 4, Lothbury ; at the Auction Mart ; and at Mr. Robins' offices, Covent-garden. , MAY 28, 1853. THE FRENCH EMIIIIE. The Senate met on Monday; M, Tropiong in the chair. The President stated that thirtt-one bills had been forwarded to him by the Minister of State, the examination of which should be confined to five committees to be nominated in the bureaux. The Senate then proceeded t o d e lib era t e• the bill re lating to the Council s o f P ru d'h o and de clared that it did not oppose its prom tion". A similar decision was come to relatii: to sixteen local bills, as well as to that concerning the trans mission of private messages by the .ele4ric tele graph. A number of reports on petitionsfrere then heard, and the proceedings terminated. .t The Legislative Body met on Thursda3t; M. Bil lault in the chair. Leave of absence was accorded to M. Geoffroy de Villeneuve. Variois reports were presented—one, on the bill to authorise the alienation of a piece of property comprised 'in the majorat of the Duke de Padoue ; another, on that which prohibits the wearing of arms in Corsica ; and on that, approving of an exchange of property between the State and the heirs of Villpreux. Count de la Gueronniere presented a report on the bill having for its object to again pnt in force Arts. 86 and 87 of the penal code. The bill to concede the Baths of Vichy was adopted, as was that re lating to the junction railways of the Rhone and the Loire, and that relating to discoupt banks. The proceedings then terminated. The Momiteur contains a repOrt froi M. de. Per signy, Minister of the Interior, to the Emperor, proposing certain regulations for the better ad ministration of the Soeietes de Charite 111titernelle, to which the Empress had prennja 44iterjn.: riage a sum of 100,000 f. The repld'it is fol/Vfeit by a series of regulations, to which the Emperor has affixed his signature in token of approbation. A second report from M. de Persigny follows, ad dressed to the Empress, giving her an account of the manner in which her gift of 100,000 f. has been distributed amongst the 54 establishments of Charite Maternelle which are to be found in France. The list of the sums given to each has affixed to it the signature of her Majesty, in token of approval. The intelligence received from the East, contained in the Moniteur, has had the effect of arresting the downward movement experienced for several days at the Bourse, and at the termination of business a considerable advance had occurred in the quotations of all descriptions of public securities; in the Three per Cents., for cash, to the amount of 85c., and in the Four-and-a-Half per Cents, of 60c. In the quotations for the account a rise of 65c. occurred in both the Three and Four-and-a-Half per Cents. Bank of France shares advanced sf. Closing prices :—For money—Three per Cents., 80f. 55c. ; Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 103 f. 10c. For the end of the month—Three per Cents., 80f. 55c. ; Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 103 f. 25c. Bank Stock 2,700 f. The shares of the Mortgage Bank, and those of the Societe Mobiliere have also ex perienced an improvement, in the former of 10f., and of 52f. in the latter. The final quotations were :—Credit, Foncer, 840 f. ; Credit Mobilier, 887 f. There was not much activity yesterday in the Railway Share Market, though a considerable improvement ultimately occurred on the unfa vourable report of yesterday. In Paris and Orleans shares there was an advance of 40f.; in Paris and Strasbourga and Paris and Lyons of 30f. each; and in Northerns of 21f. Concluding quotations : Northerns, 913 f. 50c. ; Paris and Orleans, 1,095 f.; Paris and Strasbourg, 940 f. ; Paris and Lyons, 955 f. come and render to the Turks what they shall have done to the Greeks. A Greek having met a kavasse in the street fired a pistol at him. The kavasse drew his yatagan to strike the Greek. Greeks and. Turks interfered in the matter, and the whole city was divided . into two camps. Last evening the Governor had a Greek advocate ar rested, who was publicly preaching up in the cafes revolt against the Government. He took for pretext the Jews, and affirmed that he had in his possession books which proved that the Jews offered up the blood of Christians to their God at the festival of Easter. The advocate being a Greek who was not subject to the Porte, the Governor could not punish him, but he informed the Greek Consul of what had occurred, request ing to have him punished according to the Greek laws. In the Island of Chaleis, near Constantino ple, an insurrection burst out during Easter, and occasioned much disorder. Selim-Bey was obliged to disperse the combatants with firearms, and on this occasion the Greeks were more or less badly wounded. At Iconium, in the Island of Marmora, disorders still more sanguinary took place. The Greeks have no bells to their churches ; they make use of planks, on which they strike with a hammer. The Turkish troops desired to prevent that noise being made, and at last they carried the church by storm, tore down the planks, broke the sacred vessels, and maltreated the priests. On both sides there were dead. and. wounded. Troops came after wards from Constantinople to restore order. An investigation has been ordered into the matter. The Turkish Government does all it can to preserve tranquillity and avoid scandal." ITALY. In its sitting of the 23d, the Piedmontese Senate voted the Budget of 1853. The ordinary expendi ture is laid at 127,019,837 f. ; the extraordinary expenses at 23,907,538 f. ; total, 150,927,376 f. ; to meet which, the Budget of receipts only shows an amount of 109,223,934 f. including extraordinary receipts, leaving the heavy deficit of 41,703,441 f. It must be remembered, however, that the Pied montese Government has a large share in the exe cution of railways and other public works, which, through a drain upon its finances at present, will be ultimately productive of considerable profit. More over, it is highly probable that a large portion of the works projected for 1853, and included in the Budget, will fall to the share of 1854. In the same sitting, besides voting several bills of local interest, the Senate heard the report on the Savoy Railway, and Count Siccardi's report on the loan of 400,000 f. to the naturalised refugees. This document is entirely favourable to the bill, and eulogistic of the firm attitude assumed towards Austria by the present Government. The sitting of the Chamber of Deputies was entirely taken up with the Army-Recruiting Bill, and a very animated discussion took place on the 98th article, which describes that pupils of clerical semi naries, whether Catholic or belonging to the Pro testant communes of Piedmont, shall be exempt from military service. The Opposition urged that it was a ,privilege contrary to the Constitution, which declares all citizens equal in the eye of the law ; that it was odious in its application, inas much as it east the whole load of the defence of the country upon the laity ; and that it was useless, there being no lack of candidates for the priest hood. It was replied on the Ministerial side that it would not be expedient to lay obstacles in the way of recruiting the clergy, and that a similar exemption was admitted in all countries. It was afterwards proposed on the part of the committee, to grant the Crown the power of fixing annually by a Royal decree to what extent the clergy are to be held exempt. This compromise was adopted by both parties, and the article was voted by a large majority. The Augsburg Gazette, under date of Rome, 10th, says " The Austrian Government has at length succeeded in introducing some reforms into the Pontifical marine by causing the adoption of the Austrian code of signals. This measure has been called for, in order to put an end to the numerous accidents which occur on the coast of the Papal States in consequence of the signals not being I understood. The phenomena of turning tables occupies considerable attention in the Eternal City. The people are at a loss to conceive whether it is a miracle, or whe ther it is only a wonderful affair. A trial was made, a few days since at the house of Cardinal Antonelli, which appeared very satisfactory to his Eminence. The lower orders of the clergy shrug up their shoulders with pity at the people troubling themselves with such pile novoena.— - • The Opinione of Turin .quotes a letter from Milan of the 22d, confirming the intelligence that the refugees are to be distinguished into three classes, and adding that the delegations have been instructed; in framing their reports on the subject, to bear in mind that it is not within the spirit of the Imperial decree of the 13th of February, 1853, to strike all refugees indis tinctly, but those only who draw pecuniary means from Lombardy, in order to foment civil discord there. Moreover, Count Rechberg is not to rest satisfied with the reports of the delegations, but is also to collect every possible informa tion from other sources. It is also rumoured that Austria will exact from every refugee whose pro perty is under sequestration, a formal declaration on his word of honour that he took no part, either directly or indirectly, in the movement of the 6th of February. Twenty-three political prisoners have arrived at Trieste, from the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom, by one of the Austrian Lloyd's steamers, and have been sent to the fortresses of Laybach, Konig graetz, and Josephstadt. They are principally young men of respectable families. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the, 22d contain no news. The President of the Council, . and the Ministers of the Interior and Finance, had returned from Aran juez. M. Lopez Ballesteros had been elected . member of the Cortes for the district of the Prado, province of Pontevedra, the previous election for which had been annulled. The 22d, being Sunday, the Stock Exchange was not open. GERMANY. The King of Wurtemberg arrived on the 21st at Baden, where he will remain a few weeks, under the name of Count do Teck. Domiciliary visits have recently been made by the police at the residences of some students at the University of Bonn, and some prohibited books and pamphlets seized. This measure took place in consequence of orders from Berlin. The Provisional Council of Liegnitz, in Saxony, has just enjoined the local tribunals to give informa tion of any emissaries of the Mormons, who may arrive in their districts, in order that they may be expelled. - . - The Archduke Maximilian of Austria left Mo dena on the 18th for Vienna. A letter from Vienna, in the Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort, states that several Lombard emi grants have taken steps to be allowed to return to Austria, without being exposed to any penalty, and to obtain the removal of the sequestration from their property. The Government is stated to be favourably disposed towards these applications. SWITZERLAND. A letter from Berne of the 25th says that M. de Karniki, the Austrian Ambassador, had not taken his departure, but was selling of his carriages, horses, &c. He contemplates, it was said, taking the waters in the canton of the Grisons. Part of the Austrian Embassy was, as already stated, to remain to dispatch secondary affairs. The Court-martial of Friburg has condemned the cures Delly and Perrier, chiefs of the recent insur rection in that canton, to twenty years imprison ment with hard labour ; and the other accused to from one to fifteen years' imprisonment. The sen tences are in accordance with the Federal military laws. The accused have been besides jointly con demned to the costs. MOVING TABLES.—A correspondent of the Manchester Guardian, who is described by the editor as a person who stands second to no individual in that city in point of social position, intelligence, and personal honour, says "I, with three others, utterly disbelieving the reports about moving tables, tried the experiment. A common painted small tea table, having one stam and three feet, was placed on an oilcloth, on which also our chairs were placed. We sat placing the palms of our hands flat on the table near the edge, each person joining the tips of of his own thumbs, and also joining the tips of his little fingers with those of his neighbours, thus forming a circle round the table. In fifteen minutes there was a move ment of the table from right to left, which continued until we were obliged to leave our seats to follow our hands, which we kept fixed on the table. The motion increased in rapidity, and we became both dizzy from moving round and tired with the circular length of the walk, or rather run. I tried to stop the table by pres sing very heavily and succeeded. It would not go on again, and it was some time before we discovered that the jerk of stoppage had disunited two little fingers. In a minute after these were rejoined, the table recom menced its rapid motion. We then agreed to wish the table to turn round the opposite way, and it did." TURKEY. The Pays and the Assemblee Nationale have both articles on the Eastern Question. These journals agree in thinking that there is no real ground for fearing that a war will arise out of the Eastern question. It is impossible to say to what extent disappointment may carry the Emperor of Russia, but the probability that he will see the necessity of accepting a great deal less than he has asked for, or awaiting for a better occasion to renew his claim, is very great, whether we consider the proverbial prudence of his character, or the particular circum stances which oppose the realisation of his pro jects. There is a general dread of war in , Europe. This dread is not founded merely on the convic tion that each power has of the difficultips which it would have to encounter, and the enormous cost of success if it should be successful, but 2 t li, on a more laudable motive—the desire avoid ing - the sltanie and infamy -whig . tach to the nation which should, without - - th 68 - le gitimate catigeT draw the sword, and by a . war destroy atl the institutions of peace, all the great works of commerce and industry, and substitute for a constantly-improving civilisation the state of things which existed in the days of our compara tively barbarous ancestors. There is, besides, another consideration in favour of peace which must exist strongly in the minds of sovereigns and their councillors. War in the present day would little resemble what it was forty years ago, when the means were so much less efficient. There were great battles and great slaughter then, but it re quired many reverses to exhaust completely the means of the unsuccessful combatant. If an army of 50,000 men came into the field, and was de feated, some 40,000 remained for future efforts ; but now if two armies of 50,000 each were to be on the field, the probability is that the victor would lose two-thirds, and the conquered party four-fifths of its force. Even victory, therefore, would be too expensive for nations to plunge into war as they did formerly. Such is the tenor of the articles which appear in the Paris journals referred to. We read in the Debats :—" Some new details from Constantinople to the 16th have been cm- ' municated to us. Prince Menschikoff has, in fact, quitted Constantinople, leaving a part of the Per sonnel of his embassy to conduct business ; but he went to Bujukdere, from whence ho sent ,word that he would not continue his route till the 20th, and that he would wait till th a t day for the last resolutions of the Sultan. Th us a fter having ac corded a first delay to th e 14th,he granted a second to the 20th, whi c h ann ounces a certain hesitation in his mind and con d uc t. The Russian ultimatum which was present e d on the sth contains seven articles : only one, it i s sa id, is really of im portance. It is that by whi c h R uss ia, after having declared that she only wish es f or the m aintenance of the privileges, franchis es , an d i mm unities, which the Greeks enjoy in virtue of h att i- sc h e rifs, firmans, and vizirial letters which h ave been successively granted to them, demand s th a t to guara ntee the maintenance of these privil eges , franchises, and immunities, the Porte shall si gn w ith her a conven tion or international treaty w hich shall render these conventions irrevocable, a nd shall put them out of the reach of the cap r i ce or ill will of the Turkish Government. It is on that point especially that the refusal of the Sultan is based. To justify this demand Prince Menschik o ff stated that here tofore the privileges of th e G re eks have only been founded on acts emanating from the authority . of the Ottoman Government, which ac ts, bein g unilateral, do not definitively en Govern ment, and can alw a y s b e modifiedage the by it ; that it a was thus that concessions made to the Greeks had been modified by recent &mans/ which have been modified in their turn by subseque n t fir m ans ; that these changes authorise the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh not to rely entirely on the Divan, and it is on that account tha t Russia re q uires a reciprocal convention _that is to say, a synal lagmatic act. The representative of the Emperor of Russia said, moreover, that the treaty which he demands would be an act of the same nature as the capitulations which have a ssured the privileges, franchises, and immunities enjoyed by the Latins. The Porte has energetically re j ected this latter consideration. It has said with reason that the capitulations in favour of th e Latins a p ply only to a scanty population of two or three hundred thou sand souls, whilst the international treaty demanded by Russia refers to a population of more than eleven millions of its subject s with respect to whom she would be disarmed—and that she_ cannot consent to such a thing.

Sir John Key Mr. Benjamin Scott Majority for Key l4 Throughout the whole of this day the polling for the office of Chamberlain was of the most severe character ; perhaps we should .not be far wrong in stating that scarcely has its equal for severity ever been known in the instance of a similar election. Mr. Scott's friends at nine o'clock possessed upon the gross poll of, the previous days a majority of 25. Half an hour after the opening of the poll to-day they in creased that majority to 27 ; at ten o'clock it reached 29 ; at half-past ten, 32 ; and at eleven, 35. From that hour the friends of Sir John Key worked most energetically, the majority of Mr. Scott being gradually reduced to 13, the numbers at two o'clock showing that that gentleman was then so far in advance of his honourable opponent. In order to show the extreme exertions in the meantime, between the hours of eleven and two, made by all parties, it may be be well to say Mr. Scott's votes over Sir John, at half-past eleven, were 31 ; at twelve, 18 ; at half-past twelve, 20 ; at one, 12 ; and at half-past one the same number ; and at two 13. From two to three an unmistakeable rush was made by the friends of Sir John Key, who came to the poll in such numbers, that .by lialf-past two Sir John had obtained over Mr. Scott a majority of 7 votes ; and by three o'clock, the close of the day's poll, the above-named majority of 14. During the day there voted for Sir John Key 361 liverymen, and for Mr. Scott 322 ; total number of voters polled to-day, 683 ; since the commencement of contest, 4,828. The announcement of the numbers was received with vociferous cheering. Order tatting been in some degree restored, Sir John Key and Mr. Scott addressed the livery. Both of the reaosontontehnedreed sgentllt emenb eing e in xpr t e b s s s i e r d fa t v h e e u m r, se b hue t s s s t a ro n n g g u l i y ue their respective friends not to abate their ardour until the victory was complete. Certainly for many years this contest has no equal. The excitement throughout the City is general, and in the vicinity of Guildhall during the day it was extreme. Everything, however, passed off with the utmost good humour, and all parties retired, evidently determined to do their best to secure the election of their acknowledged candidate. To-morrow (this day)"the polling will be resumed as heretofore, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, MAT 27.

The three officers. highest in rank, Captain Hon. Henry Keppel, Com mander Peter Cracroft, and Lieutenant Turnour, have I all studied steam at Woolwich factory. _ _ Lieutenant Willham H.

Carnegie, was taken out of dock on Monday, and had her steam u 2 in the basin for a few hours on Wednesday afternoon. She was taken out of the basin yesterday afternoon, and went down the river at a quarter before 4 o'clock in charge of Lieutenant Robertson, of the steam department afloat, and having on board Mr. Atherton, Chief engimeer at Woolwieh•Dockyard ; Mr. Hughes ' Assistant to the chief engineer at Somerset house ; Mr. Field, of the firm of Maudsley, Sons, and Field, the constructors of her engines ; Mr. Henry Maudsley, jun. ; and Mr.. Kitto. Captain Fulford and Lieutenant Towsey, studying steam at Woolwich, also went in her to witness the working of the engines. The draught of water of this fine frigate, equal in size to many of the old 50-gun frigates, was 17 feet 3 inches aft and 14 feet 6 inches forward, and her screw 14 feet 1 inch in diameter, and in the line on length of keel 2 feet 101 inches, with a pitch of 17 feet 6 inches. The means of disconnecting the propeller is by a T head or propeller boss, drawn out of the clutch on the end of the shaft by raising the propeller. The mode of raising the propeller is very simple, the tackle being over a cross-head to the capstan. The engines are of 350-horse power, with tubular boilers level with 14 feet 6 inches water line. There are 12 furnaces, and ' only one funnel, 5 feet 31 inches in diam e t er , and 43 feet in height above the fire-bars, constructed on the telescopic principle, and so placed that the mainmast is 41 feet clear abaft from it. The engines are very com pact and work on the direct-action principle, and made from 62 to 64 revolutions per minute, the contract num ber being 60. The anxiety to get the Tribune to Sheer ness, to have the officers and crew of the Horatio turned over to her, so that she may be made ready for sea with the least possible delay, caused her departure from Woolwich before the constructors of her engines had time to adjust the various parts of the engines at moor ings, as is usual ; however, they worked very well, and the vessel was brought up at the Lower Hope, in Sea reach, for the night, and was to be tested to-day between the Nore and Mouse lights, to ascertain her speed. DEATH OF CAPTAIN POGET.—We regret to have to announce the death of Captain William David Puget (1841), which took place on Thursday, at his residence, St. John's-wood. Captain Puget, we believe, was the son of an admiral, unfortunately for him not a lord of the Admiralty. He entered the navy in 1813, and was made a lieutenant after about the same period of service as was deemed sufficient to make Lord John Russell's brother-in-law a captain. As a lieutenant he served in tie Icarus, 10, West Indies ; Wellesley, 72, Brazils ; Spartiate, 74, for upwards of four years ; and as first of the Isis, 50, at the Cape, and was made a commander in 1834. Subsequently he served as commander in the Dublin, 50, South America ; Hercules, 74, on the home station, with Rear-Admiral Berkeley, the only term of home service he ever had, the captain being a favoured family officer ; and lastly in the Melville 74, with Cap tain the Hon. R. S. Dundas, C. 8., in China. Whilst belonging to this ship he was the chief means of ren dering her serviceable at a most critical period of our hostile affairs with China, by assuming the responsibility of heaving her down and repairing promoted to anything th Jinugn that h B, a t her.

Payne, the coroner, yesterday held an inquest at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, on the body of James Walsh, aged 54, who died in that hospital from a wound in his abdomen, inflicted by some sharp instrument on the night of the 18th inst. The jury having viewed the body, the following evidence was taken : _ . ------ ....- .... . Mr. Alfred Stephen Wood, of No. 6, Francis-place, Lower Holloway, surgeon, said : Last Wednesday week, at about a quarter past one in the morning, a man came to my house and rang the bell. I answered him from the window, and asked him what was the matter. He said he wanted me to come and see a man with the belly-ache. I told him to wait and I would come down. When I went down stairs. I again asked him what was the matter, and he said that a man (his father), who was down by the turnpike, had the belly-ache. I told him that I could not go to see a man with the bellyache, but that I would give him some medicine for him. He then said it was a wound he had in the belly from some instrument. I then immediately went with him, and a youth, about 17 years of age, to No. 1 , Pleasant-passage, Lower Holloway. When we got to the house the door was opened by a young woman, who said the man was very well, and did not want me. The son, however, said, " Come up, sir, and see him," but the woman stood at the foot of the stairs and said that I should not pass. I said "Very well," and turning away said I would return with the police. I left the house and soon met a policeman, when the woman came after me and said her rudeness was owing to her being awa kened out of her sleep. I went back with the police. man, and on going upstairs saw the deceased in the first floor front room, on the bed. He was dressed, but his trousers were unbuttoned. I saw a wound in the lower part of the abdomen, on the left side, and on examining it I found there was a great quantity of coagulated blood, which I did not disturb. It was a punctured wound, and was about an inch in length. There were present in the room the policeman, the son, the young man, and an old man, who I understood was the grandfather. I then asked the deceased how it was _i _ done, and the son said it was done in a " row" in the court, Gilt Wlieri and by whom he did not know. kre marked, "Not by the woman ?" and he said "Nct:;_no one here." The deceased made no answer to my ques tions. I asked him several times, but the son each time answered the same. I advised his removal to the hospital. While the polieemon was gone for assistance, the son lighted his pipe, and invited me to do the same. The youth said, "I would not care if I had only seen it done." I asked what it was done with, and somebody .is the room said, "A knife ;" but I do not know who it was that said so. I did not see any knife there, nor was there any blood about the room. His clothes were completely saturated with blood, as were the clothes of the bed on which he lay. I saw no blood on the stairs. If it had been done in the court I think there would • have been blood there, unless it had been washed up. Israel Wills, 89 N, 'corroborated this evidence. - .Hustings Moore, police-sergeant, 29 N, said he was on duty at the station on the night in question. The son came in and said that his father had been stabbed near the Holloway-gate. Soon after the deceased was brought in and the son went away. He had known the deceased as a private watchman and a shoemaker. Witness said to him, "Walsh, how was it done ?" and he said, "Oh, Mr. Moore, some woman has stabbed me in Pleasant-passage." Witness said, " I have heard the surgeon has said you will not live; do tell me the truth." He said again, " A woman has done it in Bandyleg row"—Pleasant-place used to be called by that name. He was then sent to the hospital on a stretcher. Benjamin Goodwin, 422 N, said he had made inquiries and had found that the deceased had been at a beershop in the Hornsey-road, between eleven and twelve the previous night. He had been to Pleasant-place, and saw the son there. He said that he came home about one o'clock in the morning, when he found his father up stairs. His father said they had done for him. As they were both the worse for liquor he did not take much notice until he saw his father fall down, when he called the rest of the inmates up. Witness then saw a woman, and asked her what she heard of it. She said she heard a noise and went to the deceased, who said that some one had stabbed him. Afterwards, on the same day, he went to the hospital, and asked the deceased again if he could tell him anything about it. He said, "No ; it hap pened in the court in a row." The son, who went with him, asked his father if he could do anything for him, and the deceased only replied, " Don't bother me." He had made every inquiry, but could not find anybody who had heard any disturbance in the court, nor could he discover anything satisfactory. William Walsh, shoemaker, said the deceased was his father; that his name was James Walsh, and that he was 55 years of age. He saw him about six o'clock in the evening before this occurrence, and saw no more of him until about one o'clock in the morning. He let himself in and went up stairs. His father was then standing in the room, and Mary Fitzgerald was with him, and crying. He asked what was the matter, when his father said that he had been stabbed. Witness asked him where, and he 'said " Just at the door." He then asked him who did it, when his father replied, "Don't bother me ; go after a doctor, and don't let me bleed to death." He then, with his grandson, went for a doctor. Witness was at the George public-house, in Cornwall place, till 12 o'olock. After that he sat opposite waiting for the potman, but he did not come out, so he went home. Mary Ann Fitzgerald corroborated the above, with the exception that she saw the son at the Victoria pub lic-house about nine o'clock, and that she went to bed about eleven, and was awoke by the deceased calling out. He did not tell her who did it, but he said it was done by some woman. Mr. Lewis Hitchin, A rcherphouse, surgeon, said the deceased was brought into the hospital on Wednesday week, about three o'clock in the morning. He had a wound in his belly on the left side. It had bled a good deal. They rallied him, but he gradually sank, and died on Tuesday night. He had since made a post. mortem examination, and found that th e woun d had penetrated ratedto the bone. It was four inches in depth, and li inches long. It must hav e b een done with great force. Ile could not say what it was done with, but it must have been done with something very sharp. He died from the effects of the wound. He had heard him say that it was done in a row in the court. He seemed very disinclined to speak, lie was asked how he could get up stairs without blood escaping, and he said he pressed his band on the wound tightly. The trousers and pocket were cut through. He said he had been struck whilst standing, and that he had been jobbed down, but that could not have been so. The deceased refused to look at his son in the hospital, and could not be persuaded to do so. The Coroner summed up the evidence, and The jury returns' a verdict of " Wilful murder against some persons or persons unknown." The police were instructed to use every exertion to trace the murderer, and bring him or her to justice. The vast territory of the Western Australian Land Company is to be offered positively to public competi tion by Mr. Robins on Tuesday next. Much excite ment has been occasioned in the city by the announce ment of this unusually large sale of lands in the most attractive part of this highly prosperous colony. A new company it is expected win-be immediately forpied, _and with ovry certaintyittauccews. DR. FORHES i S NEW WORK. J a rtat published, IIEMORANDUMS MADE IN IRELAND IN THE AUTUMN OF 852.
