London, &c., See. he essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesseq, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of dis. ace known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their phys cal c-ndition, end who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated with out incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc ceed the heyday of Inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may he removed, and how the evil and its consequences maybe avoided, and, abov that there is scarcely any degree of phys!cal infirmity or funct bI) ; derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

SUMMER CIRCUITS OF THE JUDGES. AUSTRALIAN FREEHOLD GOLD MINING COMPANY. • - Yesterday ari extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders was held at the" London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street ; Mr. A. Warrand in the chair. Mr. PVLSFORD, the secretary, read the report of 'the committee, from which it appeared that, in pursuance of 'the resolution of the shareholders passed on the 15th of June, 1855, 'that the affairs of the mine b e woun d up, and a return. of 6s. per share, be made to the adventurerS, which re solution- was afterwards c Alfirined, Mr. Clarke had aske I. that all the funds of the company should be rateably . divided amongst the holders of shares, and to this the committee of manage ment were Agreoable, but from - cireurnslances it was found impossible. The number of shares on which Gs. per share .have been returned amount to 63,230, leaving 10,4651. outstanding. It is therefore sug gested that the proceedings in Chancery should be . diseontinued, and the funds be paid out of court to pay the Gs. on the shares upon which it has not been paid, and after. payment ofithe plaintiff's costs, the balance to be divided pro rata. Upon one of the applications ill - the snit made to the Vice-Chan cellor, it was intimated birhis Honour that the sub ject of the stiet shbuld be settled out of court, - The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the repot t, said they were much indebted to Mr. Clarke* for the manner in which he had come forward to terininate the la\v proceedings. He expected they would have sufficient funds to pay the 6s. to those who ha l not received it, and leave a small surplus for general division after payment of the plaintiff's costs, but there was always an uncertainty in these matters, and it might be possible that the share holders would have to conttibute. A resolution was then unanimously passed that the report be adopted, and that the plaintiff be re quested to comply with the terms of the conditions of settlement as set forth in the report, and that the meeting expresses its thanks to Mr. Clarke for the readiness which he has hitherto manifested to see a just distribution of the assets of the company. The shareholders present represented about 45,000 out of 60,000 shares. A vofe of thanks to the chairmen terminated the proceedings. MR. lIO,DGSKIN ON CRIME; ITS CAUSE AND PREVENTION. On Wednesday evening a numerous audience as sembled in the lower room in Sr. Martin's Hall, to bear a second lecture on this Subject tram Mr. Hodgskin, of the Economist newspaper, whose first discourse under the title "Don' t C rea te Criminals," was recently noticed at some length in our colunins. The chair was taken by Dr. CHARLES MACKAY, who, in introducing the subject, said that they came as scholars, to learn frOm one who had devoted his study to this subject. It bad been too much the custom to take a microscopic view of the question, and to dissect the individual criminal, instead of taking what might be termed a telescopic view of the whole subject In this re spect hebelievecl_we bad much t o l earn f rom M r . Hodgskiri. Mr. HODGSKIN, after thanking the chairman for the Landsome terms in which he had spoken of him, referred to his former lecture, in which he had pointed out that the bulk of the crime which tor mented us in this country consisted of offences against property without violence ; that we were as a nation given to pilfering, not to assassination. He should, therefore, confine himself to. the Con sideration of the causes of dishonesty. In his first lecture he had called attention to the influence of the aristocracy by example as a cause of crime, but in his anxiety to avoid injustice ho had.also pointed out the benefit of the example of the upper classes in promoting courtesy and diminishing violence. He had invited the aristocracy to attend that lec ture by numerous circulars, and bad fixed the price of admission to the general 'Abbe at a high rate, that they might the more conveniently attend ; but they had not responded to that invitation, and now let them not say he made a one-sided attack upon them. But whatever they might say, it was hii duty, for the sake of truth, to point out how their influence - tended to theincrease of dishonesty. A very general and not yervicrupulous desire pre vailed just now for the attainment of wealth, and it might at first be thought ttat this was a cause of crime. But as the clsire of wealth was in itself a just and honourable desire, aid the spring of many social advantages, it was difficult to come to this conclusion. The aristocracy sought to attribute all wrong to trade ; but if this were so, if trade made criminals, then as trade was going on in creasing and- must continue to increase, it would follow that we must become nore.and more critni nsl. In order to inquire whst was the real cause of the evil, he must go back to first principles. The right of life was one that was writ defined. Life was the gift of the Creator, and the source of all other rights. Without life there could be no property. But the xight of property was not s ) well defined. Nobody would ask, " Whose body?" or " Whose lite is this ?" But, whose hat '? Whose Oat ? Wlkse house ? and whose land were frequently asked; and frequently disputed. Mr. Hodgskin here Wilt into a somewhat lengthened disquisition on the property in laud, the laws of which he con tended required modification from time to time as the state of society changed ; instead of being, as at present in this country, fixed. Theseffect of our laws was to tie up the land in few hands, instead of making, it accessible to all. The law-making classes had made the laws for their own benefit—(hear, hear) —and they not only claiined the power to dis po,e of property by law, but endeavoured to mono polise that power to themselves. (Hear, hear.) The representative system was based upon the Principle of serfdom, and the making a certain amount of property the qualification for the, enjoy ment of political rights was the very concentration of rapacity. (Hear, hear.) One inevitable conse quence of such a system was to intensify the desire for wealth. A small diminution in the _supply of corn created an unusual desire to obtain it, a desire. which so spread that the price of corn was raised beyond the proportion necessarily resulting from the scarcity. And so, as there never was enough wealth for all, the increase of the desire narrowed the field of possible gratification. (Hear. hear.) One of the evils that ten. - ed most to the increase of crime was . einjust taxation. Here Mr. Hodgskin referred to the corn-laws, the nature and effect of which he discussed at some length, showing- from etatistics that Crime was greatly on the increase during the whole period that they were in opera tion, that it began to- decrease when they were modified by- Sir Robert Peel, and that when they were entirely abrogated, and a partial return was made to direct taxation, a still further diminution of crime was the result. He endeavoured to show that VAS was because the wealthier classes were un justly relieved from taxation, to the detriment of the mass of the people, by the system of indirect taxation, and -that this wee setting an example which the poor followed in their way. He also contended that, -as Mr. Roebuck had said on a late occasion, the purpose of taxation being to protect the lives auil properties of the people, every penny taken . from the public ex chequ e r for any other purpose was a robbery on the people. The upper elassea did not commit offences _against the law. Why should they? . They could gratify their desire for wealth by making the law to suit ile;en.; and when the lower classes saw them plun dering by legal means , it was no wonder they Should adopt illegal means of doing the same thing. Mr. Hodgskin also contended that the present system prevented the poor from obtaining a living easily ; and argued that if it was true, as had been recently allege, that any criminal could be re formed by giving 110 1 the means of getting a living easily, ci fortiori the man who was honest might be kept. so by the same means. e Mr. Hodgskin was beard throughout with Wens tion, and waa frequently and enthusiastically ap plauded. The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the lecturer. Tan FALL OF HOUSES IN TOTTENHAM-COURT-ROAD Yesterday the inquest by Mr. Brent respecting the Fix persons who lost their lives by the falling of houses in Tottenham-court road was concluded. The jury retired to consider their verdict at 20 minutes to 4 o'clock, and remained in deliberation tilt neatly 7. 15 of the 16 jurors then agreed to the following verdict —" That the deaths of Frederick Bury, Anne Driscoll, John Garnett, Richard Turner; James Revil ' and Joseph Taylor were cancel by the falling of the hous9s Nos. 146, 147, and 148, Tottenhaui-court-roed ; that cutting the boles in the wail of 147 and 148 was the immediate cause of the accident, the party wad of 146 and 147 being very indif ferent, requiring more than ordinary caution, which in this Cage was not observed ; that the cutting away the party wall between 147 and 143 was 'done in an unskil• ful and improper manner ; that the jury cannot separate without expressing their strong condemnation of the present conflicting state of the law as to the district and polic3 surveyors, whose duties appear to be quite inde• pendent, and even antagonistic ; and the jury sincerely hope that an immediate alteration will be made in the Building Act, as at present constituted." A considerable sum has already :been received for the sufferers' widows. and families. THE ATLANTIC SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH• Yesterday afternoon the Lord' Mayor, accompa vied by- a numerous party of the Corporation and civic offivrs,paid a visit to the works of Messrs. Glasse arid Elliot, where the monster submarine cable is now ritpidly advancing towards its final completion. This visit could hardly be c ailed a public one, and it certainly was not private, for the party Went in a corporation state b irge, rich enough in flags and gilding to, have sati-fied the Queen of Sheba. Its approaching the shore at such a wild, hotel-less looking spot, where whitebait was never heard of and turtle is unknown, seemed to create, no small amount of sensation among the natives who dwell along the river's banks on slimy riles, in. stranded boats, or long West-country - barges. The , visit was an event in their dreary life of flood and ebb, and they testified their interest accordingly by lounging to the doors of the various lockers in which they live, and watching the visitors come'oti shore:" It was a feat worth seeing. Most of the gentlemen who inspected the works 'will agree with us this ' morning that Glasse and Elliot's yard is not a plea sant phade on whicli toland at low water. The shells is stony and, a_general xule,unsavoury in hot wea ther, whaii aU. the` abominable flotsam and jetsam of the dirtiest river in Europe evaporate enough miasma to poison an 'alligator. As an initiatory process all the visitors had to walk from the barge to the shore along a narrow plank, and this necessi tated feats on the part of stout gentlemen whiCh in a circus "would have covered them with immortal honour. Plank-walking under such circumstances is always difficult, and when the performance has to be gone through by a portly functionary in full Court dress and cocked hat, anxious to preserve his dignity, yet afraid of losing his balance, the result has no medium, but is at once either sublime or ridiculous. Dnringyesterday's visit there was a little of both extremes, and successive efforts gave rise to mach amusement among the party, as each person walked ashore, with more or less of peril from the mud and water. Theywericonducted over the works by Mr. Glasse, and the various processes which the cable undergoes in the course of its manufacture were fully pointed out and explained. Two small Iron cohorns were also fired by a spark sent through a short piece of the cable. Since our last notice of the progress of this great undertaking, with the exception of a short interval of 40 hours last Monday and Tuesday, the work has advanced incessantly day and night. The " strand," "closing," and " serving" machines, which revolve with such astounding rapidity, and whose noise can be heard even to the centre of the river, have done their work well, arid spun an ad ditional 500 miles of cable. Nearly 900 miles are. now completed, and at least 1,200 would have been ready, could the wiredrawers have supplied wire as fast as the machines consume it. But that, unfor tunately, has not been the case, for the daily con sumption of fine wire has been greater than all the wiredrawers of England could furnish, and the consequence is that less is ready for shipment than was wished or anticipated, The making of the two shore ends of the cable is well advanced. Those portions—namely, for 10 miles from the Newfound land and 15 miles from the Irish shores, are being manufactured 'of immense strength,' in order t' , resist the action of the waves over rocks, and danger from vessels, anchors, dee. They are made of No. 1 wires, forming a cable of 1i inch in diameter, and weighing about six tons to the mile. The size of the wires used in these ends gradually diminishes as deep water is reached, so that it tapers down where it joins to the diameter of the main portion of the cable. Thee No. 1 wires are 'welded on to No. 2, which, in turn, are joined to No. 3, and so on, as shallow water and liability to accident are decreased. At these ends the gutty percha and " sewing" of greased and tarred hemp are also made proportionally thicker, to lessen the chance of accident from compression of the outside spiral iron casing. The manufacture of the centre portion of the cable has also been begun. In order to avoid risk from the first strain at starting, about five or six miles of the centre will be made of the strongest steel wire. In place of twisted strands the cable will here be bound with 18 No. 3 solid wires of steel, so that this part of the telegaph will, it is asserted, bear a strain of 12 tons with safety, or nearly twice the amount of dead strain that is likely to come upon it at the first outset. The preparations for shipping the cable are nearly finished, and the operation of transferring the pon derous coils from the factory to the hold of the Agamemnon will commence on Tuesday or Wed nesday next. Workmen from the dockyards are now engaged in laying down moorings for the Agamemnon, which will arrive off Glasse and Elliot's to-morrow (Saturday) morning. No less than 10 anchors have been fixed to secure her from motion while this important work is going for ward. From the factory to the side of the ship 10 barges will be moored stem and stern, and along these the cable will be slowly wound by a 12 horse power engine. It will be stowed away in the hold in one tremendous coil 45 feet in diameter and , nearly 12 feet high. No vessel better suited than the Agamemnon for this purpose could be found in the navy. There is not the least ground for the reports that the United States' frigate Niagara is not to take the other half of the cable, manufactured by Newell all at Birkenhead. At first there were some doubts as to whether it was worth while to make certain alterations in the vessel, which were necessary in order to avoid risk in paying out the coil. But this question has been definitively decided, and either last night or this morning the Niagara quitted the Thames for Portsmouth Dockyard, where some of her stanchions will be taken out, and her fine ward room not a little disfigured to accommodate her long passenger. This vessel is undoubtedly not so well suited for the work as the Agamemnon, and on board of her the cable will have to be piled in two or three coils, fore and alt,' au arrangement which would have been better avoided„ if it were possible. Both at Birkenhead and at East Green wich the manufacture of the cable at one end will be continued, while the other end is being shipped. In fact, both firms will work up to the last mo ment, in order that in paying out across the At lantic a liberal allowance may bo made for slack without fear of running short. The Susquehanna will accompany the Niagara, and we believe the Leopard goes with the Agamemnon. All the vessels will rendezvous at Cork harbour, when the final arrangements will be made as to starting. The Cyclops is now in the Atlantic taking soundings along the proposed deep sea route. At Messrs. Glasse and Elliot's yard a fine sub marine cable is being made for the Norwegian Government. This is, as far as we are aware, pro bably the first electric telegraph which has ever been used for fishing purposes. During the fish ing season the shoals of herrings enter the fiords of Norway at most unexpected inter vale, and at places where often not more than one or two fishing boats are to be 'found. B-fore the boats from the sur rounding bays and fiords can be summoned to the spoil the herrings have generally epawned and are away to sea again. To prevent these repeated dis appointments and losses to the fishermen, the Nor wegian Government is about to lay a submarine cable along some 50 miles of the coast most fre quented by the shoals, with land stations at short distances communicating with the fishing villages. The instant the shoal is seen in the offing, there fore (and it can always be known at a distance by the whales which surround it), a message will be sent along the coast telling each village the fiord or bay which it has entered. Alas for the poor her rings I What will become of them now that science enters the deep against them and their enemy lurks in their watery home ? They may elude whaleS and fishing boats, defy tides, winds, and waves, but what can they do against the electric current ? They will splash heedlessly over the queer-looking rope on the bottom without thinking that it is tell ing their numbers and the way they have taken, and guiding their pursuers to the destruction of them all. A small " sub-mud" cable, to be used in com municating with the-workmen to be engaged in clearing the mouth of the Danube, is also in course of manufacture at Glasse and Elliot's. It will be regarded with interest, as the material embodiment of so many of the Paris protocols. 4, CRYSTAL PALACE. ONE SHILLING DAL—Yester day, June 4.

In answer to a question from Sir John Trelawny, and to a more searching interrogation by Sir_ John Pakinifton Lord Palmerston last night announced an . iliWnt'On, or rather expressed a hope, of intro ducing a bll fOr the abolition of church-rates " before long"---that is, of course, in the present se , sion:" If "abolition" is the, measure really in tended, a bill might:be brought in next week for • the purpose, seeing that nothing can be easier than to put the whole of this metropolis in the same position, as reTects the maintenance of its . churcheß, as the greater fart is already. If the churches of the greater part of the metropolis were faliing out of repair, and evidently in want of their periodical washing, glazing, slating, painting, Marbling, and gilding; if the walls were bulging, gaping, and tottering, and the rain beating on the cus!lions and hassocks ; if anything whatever were lacking to the usual order of 'the service,, and on inquiry it were found to - be owing to the refusal of church rates,- that. would be some reason against extending and regularising such a. state of things.. Ati. would be a reason fo r s t opp i ng t o co n s iaentat substitute could be found. The abolitionists would be met at once with the exclamation, "What ! would you have our beautiful old.churches fall to I ruin ?" The fact, however, is, that it makes no difference to the churches whether rates are ail- I..ctecl or not. Pass from street ito street, ori if you have a turn fur spiritual vagrancy, enter as many churches as you please on a Sundiy, and you 'will not be able to infer anything as to the source of the sufficient and sometimes rather profuse expenliture of which you see such pompous and glittering proof. You cannot guess whether it is a rate, or a general sub scription, or an estate, or pew-rents, or the libera lity of the incumbent, or of some other individual. So our churches will not go to run in this metro or anywhere else, that we know of. Indeed, there is no substantial difference in this respect be tween the present state of the law, according to recent decisiens, and entire abolition. If the ma jority of a vestry refuse t 3 authorise a rate, it can no longer be levied from a reluctant householder ; in other words, it becomes a voluntary subscrip tion. • Church-rates may have been levied in that parish by quiet and undisputed prescription for five hundred years, but without a majority of the vestry they can be levied no longer. Tins is not only possible, but a matter of daily occurrence. " What, thee, will become of the churches ? Will they be allowed to fall down ? Are they to be left to the ravages of time till the roofs fall in, till grass grows in the aisles, winds burst the windows, and the frost splits the walls I" For the answer to such pathetic inquiries we have only to refer to the next parish, or the next town, or perhaps all the parishes in the neighbourhood, here the churches are kept in capital order by voluntary payments. The only pretence for delay is the hope of de vising what is called a "substitute" for church rates. The natural and only substitute is found already in more than half this metropolis, and in most other large towns, where church people, so far from being at any loss for means to keep their churches in substantial and decorative repair, are everywhere competing for the honour of doing so, and thinking it hard to be denied. All other sub stitutes are mere temporising expedients, suggested by a weak hope of retaining the impost, if not generally, at least in the rural parishes. Yet those rural parishes are the very ones in which the Church has the least to hope from compulsory rates, and the most from private taste and generosity. Of all the parishes in the kingdom it is at least worth standing out for the supposed benefit of those where the wretched impost, after discharging a Jew fees, just pays the parish bricklayer, the " masoner," the carpenter, the plumber, and the glazier their 10s. 6d. or ss. 9d. a piece. The 'great bulk of the rates is collected in certain towns and large parishes where the church and the gentry are strong, or where there are many professionals or old-fashioned tradespeople. Of course, this is a comparatively pleasant state of things, for till a man feels any positive scruple as to Church rates, or any hearty dislike of the system, he would rather there was no dispute on the sub ject. But to the best of our belief, whether the parish be rich or poor, populous or otherwise, town or country, it is an oval waste of labour and good. churchmanship to stand out for this tax. No case can be imagined in which the fabric may not safely be left to the generosity of churchgoers. Here and there a church may get out of repair, but that • will be nothing new. Most churches were getting continually out of repair the greater part of the last century, when Church-rates were undisputed. If the fabrics are now generally in beautiful order, it is owing to voluntary subscriptions. It is the peculiarity of this impost that it has never even been adapted to the growth and changes of our social .syAem. The Church-rate is still paid to the parish church, and to it alone, though it is no longer able to contain half, or a tenth, or even a hundredthof the whole population. It is still paid, or demanded, for the parish church, though there is another church, or, may be, twenty other churches, in the parish ; and, while these other, churches are maintained by their pew-renters or some liberal landowners, those same pew-renters and landowners are held legally liable to pay rates to the "parish church." There is no country in the world, except England, where such an extortion would be endured for a twelvemonth ; just as Eog land is the only country under the sun where two hundred' thousand people would endure to be pro hibited from marrying in their own churches, and compelled to fi equent one alone for this purpose, simply and solely to mike a piece of preferment for the Deau and Canons of St. Paul's. We talkin this country of emperors, of priests, of inquisitors, of wooden idols, and other stupidities and cruelties, but there are certain impostures, of the vested interest class, which grow nowhere else to so venerable an age and such magnificent dimensions as in this green old island. Church rates, in their present capricious, unjust, and incorrigible form, illustrate this popular weakness of our tax-paying race. Of course, if people would go on paying them for ever, then, on the principle that volenti nom fit injuria, we should have no right to inter fere. But people do very naturally object to pay ing for a thing they don't like when they are no longer obliged to do so ; to paying to a church they don't go to, besides paying for one they do go to ; to paying for a church three miles off, or where they cannot get a comfortable seat. As the law is i now stated, nobody need pay a Church-rate under these circumstances unless a majority of his neigh bours lay their heads together and resolve that he shall pay it, whether he likes it or not. There are not many parishes in the kingdom, we should ima gine, where, a majority can be got together for such a purpose ; but it is better, at least more in accord ance with the rest of our institutions, that a man should not be placed at the mercy even of his neighbours. It is quite possible that a vestry may even now, think it either doing God's service, or at least verygood sport, to screw a Church-rate out of people with churches or chapels of their own ; so, to provide against that bare possibility, Parliament should finally dispose of the question.

A vacancy haying been caused in the represen tation of the borough of Leeds by the death of Mr. Robert Hall, the nomination of candidates to fill the vacant seat took place yesterday at spacious hustings erected on Woodhouse Moor, iu the out skirts of the borough. There were two candidates, Mr. John Remington Mills, of London, on the Liberal side, who was the unsuccessful' candidate at the late election, and Mr. George Skirrow Bee croft, of Kirkstall, on the Conservative side. There was a large muster of the friends of the respective candidates, there being present on the Moor from 15,000 to 20,000 persons. Mr. J. Bottesill, the Mayor of Leeds, presided as thl returning officer. The proceedings were of an animated, but peaceable character. Mr. FAIRBAIRN nominated Mr. Mills, who was seconded by Mr. GEORGE. Mr. J. R. W. ATKINSON proposed Mr. Beecroft, who was seconded by Mr. C. BOUSFIELD. Mr. MILLS addressed the electors, and declare% himself in favour of economy in the national ex penditure, progress in legisla ive enactments, and peace iu foreign policy. He was in favour of the removal of Jewish disabilities, church-rates, and ministers' money in Ireland, and he would sup port a large extension of the franchise, giving it the protection of the ballot. In answer to a question, he declared himself opposed to the division of the country into electoral districts. Mr. BEECROFT, in his address to the electors, said that he was a moderate Conservative, and should go into Parliament an independent mem ber and unpledged. He was opposed to any re duction in the property qualiticat ion of the franchise, but would extend the franchise to all educated and intelligent men. He would give the Reform Bill promised on the part of the Government his best and most liberal consideration. It was not right that small boroughs, having. a population of 00 or 300 electors, should send as many members to Parliament as large towns containing 10, 20.. or 30 times that number. He was in favour of the Bill for the admission of Jews to Parliament, and should sup port an equitable settlement of the Church-ra e question. He declared himself in favour of grants by the nation in aid of voluntary support of educa tion, and ho *as opposed to the ballot. He would not disturb the Maynooth grant. The show of hands was declared to be in favour of Mr. Beecroft. A poll was demanded on behalf of Mr. Mills, and was appointed to take place to-day (Friday) from 8 in the morning to 4 in the afternoon. On the motion of Mr. Beecroft, seconded by Mr. Mills, a vote of thanks was given to the Mayor, and the proceedings of the nomination were brought to a close. CARMARTHENSHIRE. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) We are likely to have a contest. Mr. Lloyd Davies, the rejected of Cardigan, has offered himself as an " independent" man, promising to support Lord Palmerston, when he thinks him right, and otherwise when he thinks him wrong. A sort of hole and corner meeting was held at Carmarthen, yesterday, to try to come to some sort of arrange ment as to the candidate the Conservative, party should support. Three gentlemen were' named, Mr. Lloyd Davies, Sir James Hamilton, and Mr. the intelligent he L i beral Conservative m pa an r t: David Pugh, formerly the respected chairman of the Quarter Sessions. The proceedings at this meeting were unsatisfactory, and ended in Mr. Pugh's friends withdrawing. A majority of the gentlemen present were in favour of Mr. Davies, and a deputation sent to Mr, Pugh accordingly, but Mr. Pugh's friends reached his residence first, and the result is that he is expected to contest the election. Mr. Pugh is a Liberal Conservative, and I understand will give ocafofmaaier most independent t e o ipte t ln h s d e ee p xn r pt e e s ca e tne n da t Government.

Business was rather quiet in our silk market last mouth, and our condition-house numbered 2,541 bales. It was hoped that fine weather, healthy vegetation, and an extriv)rdinary quantity of foreign silk worm eggs would attenuate, if not remedy, the inroads of the dis ease of the native worms, and these favourable cirqum stances explain the contradictory statements that have appeared respecting our approaching silk crop. As, how ever, it progresses, the symptoms become more and more alarming, and our advices from most parts of France and Italy contain the most deplorable accounts of the ravages of this fatal epidemio, and there is now no doubt that the quantity of silk produced will be consi derably less than last season. This is tot all. The Levant eggs were considered free from the disease, ,and great hopes for the regeneration of the worm were placed on them ; but we regret to say that, on the whole, they have had no better result than the rest,so that our future prospects are now more uncertain than ever. Various theories have been advanced explaining this fearful visi tation ; but, as far as we are at present advised, without any satisfactory conclusion. The few cocoons produced will doubtless fetch extravagant prices, and our rates, which have already advanced, will probably still further progress. Meanwhile our manufacturers are more and more adapting our machinery fur an increasing con sumption of Asiatic silk, land a large business has• been done in them the last few days. THE LEWIS HERRING FISHING —The fishing at the Lewis has been vigorously prosecuted at all the stations with fair success. There are 520 boats engaged at the fi , hing this season, of which 300 fish from Stornoway, the others from the adjoining stations. There were more herrings landed in Stornoway on Tuesday than was ever known to have been the case in any one day. The quality of the fish is very good ; the price per cran on Tuesday was from 10s. to 14s. ; Wednesday, 15s. to 18s. Eight vessels have saile4 for the continent, with cargies varying from 130 to 220 barrels eacb.—Bang shire Journal. EXECUTION FOR MURDER.—George Dave, the seaman 1 of the Slaney glinboat, who wan convicted at the May sessions of the Central Criminal Court, of the murder of Samuel Long, a corporal of Marines on board the same vessel, by stubbing him with a bayonet, was hanged yesterday at Maidstone. Shortly before 12 o'clock, the time appointed for the execution, Mr.'Wilders, the under-sheriff, accompanied by several of his officers, ,ar rived at the gaol, and they at once proceeded to the cell where the unhappy man was confined. He appeared quite calm and composed, and upon Mr. Hillyer, the governor of the prison, asking him if, there was any re quest he had to make, he replied that he wasvery grate ful for the kindness he had received, and the only thing more that he desired to be.done for him was that his clothes should be banded over to his family after he was gone, ts,.d be was assured that this request should be • complied with. • Ca'craft, the executioner, then pro ceeded to pinion him, and when that had been done the prisoner turned round to one of the warders, in whose charge he had been placed, and shook him by the hand and said, "Good bye." The procession was then formed and the culprit walked firmly up the steps leading to the drop, and mounted the scaffold with a quick firm step. The moment he had taken his place under the beam he looked calmly round at the assembled crowd, and Cal craft then placed the cap over his face and adjusted the rope ; the drop then fell, and the culprit appeared to expire almost without a struggle. The body, after hang ing an hour, was cut down, and was buried iti - the course of the day within the precincts of the gaol. [PRICE 4D. STAMPED 5D.] the tbat con- GE. ,ET. Lieu' "oseP ll lgtou,
