EPAMINONDAS.

Should Oulston be brought out for the Drawing-room
Stakes, Hazel, his only likely opponent, will experience
some difficulty in catching him. The 300 Sovs. Sweep-
stakes for fillies may occasion an interesting race be-
tween Antoinette and Treachery, who will, perhaps,
pass the post in the order in which I have set down
their names. St. Hubert will doubtless achieve his
first victory by winning the 300 Sovs. Sweepstakes for
3-yrs old colts. For the North and South Biennial
Stakes I shall select Polmoodie, Rogerthorpe, and
Bubble, to occupy the foremost places.
The success of Oulston for the Cup seems a fore-
gone conclusion. Baroncino is certainly not capable of
disputing it, even if the result of his trial with Hunger-
ford be carried. It is said that, according to his spin
with the "old 'un," Hungerford could not win the Cup at
7st 121 b, and I really think he couldn't, if even Baron-
cino were out of the race. In Oulston I place undivided
confidence. Muscovite, however, if " wanted," will
doubtless run well, and Neville will be an opponent not
to be despised. " Long shots " are taken about Rata-
plan, but I can place no hopes in their ultimate profit.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful eon-
itiquenees resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any
ather class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is
particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doabts of
their physical condition, and 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 without
incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties
racy be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
,
And how the evil and its consequences maybe avoided and above all,
that there is scarcely any degree of physibal infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive
practice in the treatment of these delicate compiaints, which have
untortunately been too generally confided to the oare of ignorant
emoirics, who inflict Mat injury on those who are induced to place
faith in their pretensions.

SWEDEN.

A letter from Stockholm, in the Cologne Gazette,
says :—" The blockade which the allied squadrons
have established in the Baltic and in the Gulf of
Bothnia is so complete this year that the trade
which was carried on in 1854 between Russia and
Sweden to a considerable extent is completely sup-
pressed. The presence of the allied fleets in these
seas produces this other important effect, that it
forces Russia to keep in the north three great
corps-d'armee, one of 90,000 men in the provinces
south of St. Petersburg ; the second in that city
and in Cronstadt ; and the third along the coasts
of Finland."

SPAIN.

Our accounts from Madrid are of the 23d inst.

The day 'before a Queen's messenger was de-
spatched to Rome with the memorandum adopted
at the last Cabinet Council for M. Pacheco. That
document, which has for its object to justify the
conduct of the Spanish Government, and its rupture
with the Holy See, was not to be published for some-
days. It may thus be summed, up :—The religious
basis of the Constitution does not alter in the least
the respect and submission which the Spanish nation
never ceases to profess for the Catholic religion. It
had 1--ern erroneonAv stated that the 0,-vernment
offended religion .and abandoned the clergy
since it has assigned t o them in the budget
170,000,000 of reals, that is, nearly one-sixth of
the whole revenues of the State. The order to

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

The chef d'ceuvre of Weber, Der Freischutz, was per-
formed at this theatre on Saturday evening with very
great success. The cast included two new candidates
for public favour, namely, Mr. A. Lockesley and a Miss
Dyer. The first-named gentleman appeared as Ru-
dolpho, and sang the music very tastefully.
His manner of giving the celebrated scena, "Through
the forest" was very artistic, and the effort was loudly
applauded. Miss Dyer also made a very successful and
promising debut. The celebrated incantation scene—the
Wolf's Glen—was capitally given, and the choruses were
all well sung. The success of Mr. Smith's bold
experiment of an "autumn operatic season" has
now been placed beyond a doubt. The house was
crowded long before the rising of the curtain.

Enclosure 1.

Camp, Light Division, July 13, 1855.
Sir, —The despatch of the late lamented Field-Mar-
shal Lord Raglan, of the 9th June, mentions that I
commanded the storming party on the Quarries on the
evening of the 7th June. May I beg most respectfully
that you will bring it to the notice of Lieutenant-Gene-
ral Simpson, Commanding the Forces, that I not only
had the honour of commanding the storming party, but
that having been twice wounded in the assault I re-
tained the sole and undivided command in the Quarries,
not only of the original attacking force and supports, but
of all reinforcements, during the whole night, until re-
lieved at 7 a.m. on the Bth. The despatches must have
explained already that the enemy made several desperate
efforts, during the night, to regain the works, and that
on three occasions overpowering numbers succeeded in
re-entering, but were on all occasions driven back at the
point of the bayonet. The entire night was, indeed,
one continued struggle for this position, the fatigue
and anxiety of which I have never recovered
from. When Lord Raglan's - despatch was com-
pleted, I have reason to suppose his lordship had
not received the details, as my own report to Colonel
Shirley, General of the trenches, was unavoidably
delayed in consequence of my wounds, and not being
able to write. In justice to myself, conscious of having
performed an important duty, to the best of my ability,
and successfully, I now rcspecf ally
submit this state-
ment to the Commander of the Forces, with the hope
that he may be pleased to have my services on this oc-
casion mentioned and particularised. At present seve-
ral officers have equal praise in the despatch who were
not in the Quarries at all.—I have, &c.,

DEATH OF ADMIRAL NACHIMOFF.

The Invalide Russe gives the following account
of the death of Admiral Nachimoff :
On June 29, Russia experienced an irreparable
loss. The hero of Sinope (sic), one of the brave
defenders of Sebastopol, the honour and pride of
the Russian fleet and army, Admiral Nachimoff,
then received a wound, to which, on the following
day, amidst the general regret of his companions
in arms, and all Russia, he fell a victim.
The witnesses give the following details as to the
manner of his death. The deceased Admiral would
never consent to wear the soldier's capote, but al-
ways kept on the coat and epaulettes of a general,
and in this dress he would show himself on the
most advanced fortifications, in order to observe
the movements of the besiegers.
On June 29, at 8 o'clock p.m., the Admiral ap-
peared upon the Korniloff bastion, and in spite of
the entreaties of all around him he leaned over
the parapet to look at the enemy s works. A ball
struck the ground at his feet. The suite accom-
panying him renewed their entreaties, but he
calmly remained at his post, saying, " They aim
very well." Some moments afterwards a ball struck
him on the temple. The Admiral fell senseless,
and remained so until his death the following day.
Sleep in peace, worthy rival of Lazary, of Korni-
loff, and of Istomine ! The mariners of the Black
Sea and the garrison of Sebastopol will not forget
thy valiant example. Our children and our grand-
children will defend thy tomb as thou bast de-
fended their cradle !

LEEDS, July 27.—During the early part of this week
there were only very few buyers in the town, and the

and caused rather more activity ; still, on the whole, we
have bad a rather quiet trade during the current week

DESPATCHES FROM LORD RAGLAN.
In reply to Mr. WARNER,

Sir C. WOOD said he had yesterday given nearly
verbatim the whole of the despatch received yesterday
from Lord Raglan ; but a despatch was received to-day,
which stated that the Russian force between the Belbek
a d M`Kenzie's Farm had been reinforced by two divi-
sions. (Laughter.) That was really the whole of the
despatch. (Oh, ob.) . - •

THE PRICES OF PROVISIONS.

The ,cost of food and the state of trade influence the
numbers of the births, deaths, and marriages, and, as
well as the weather, produces great changes in the con•
dition of the population. The price of wheat has been
more than 50 per cent. higher than it was in the quarter
of [853 that ended on March 31, but 9s. 7d per quar-
ter lower than it Was in the beginning of 1854. Beef is
25 per cent. dearer than in 1853, anti 7 per cent. dearer
than it was in 1854. Mutton has been cheaper than it
was in 1853, and so have been potatoes.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 2, 1855.

The House of Commons really does seem dis-
posed to show a little more interest in the nation's
business. At the division on the Loan Bill on
Monday night, the number of persons elected to
do the business of the country who contrived to
be present positively amounted to 321, nearly
half the members ! Later in the evening, when
Mr. MILNES and Mr. LOWE proposed to make
the Times a present (in addition to Mr. GLAD-
STONE'S of last year) of 1251. for every number
with a supplement, say of 375/. per week, or
about 20,0001. per annum—the house actually
mustered some 346 members, rather more than half
its members. A majority of 174 collected together
to express the general feeling about the shameless
proposal. Very well in its way this. A rather
hopeful sign that 260 independent and honour•
able members dared to incur the penalty of a
black cross against their names in the Parliamen-
tary Register of the Great Implacable. If, how-
ever, they want to show their assiduity or their
courage scope will not be wanting. It is some-
thing, to be sure, to beard the Times ; but it
will be somewhat more to brave the dis-
pleasure of a Prime Minister, of a Cabi-
net, of a whole Aristocracy, their officials
and their inveterate system, of the CODURGS
and the Court. The infuriated muster against
Mr. LAYARD last Friday shows what an honest
reformer of aristocratic abuses must expect. His
firmness on that occasion does him infinite honour.
He seemed perfectly unmoved by the sanctimo-
nious bray around him ; and he has but to de-
velope his resolutions with equal firmness to gain
for himself a lasting reputation, and to render h:s
country an invaluable service. We take the scene
of that evening as a pretty fair proof of
the real quality of our present House of
Commons. It is one quite ready to swarm
together to vanquish if it could a solitary '
denouncer of aristocratic misrule, and ready, too,
to exult in seizing hold of some trivial errors of
statement, and to hoot down the weightiest ques-
tion of the hour on the strength of them. Dur-
ing the whole session we have not seen the House
look so exceedingly small. While it thought to
put down Mr. LAYARD, it only compelled him to
despise its hypocrisy, and sunk itself in the eyes
of all Europe as well as of all England. Mem-
bers racked themselves to put him on the rack
Parliamentary ; but unluckily he would not even
Wince. He was completely victorious. Let the
country see to it that his victory be not a barren
one.

General :

This return comprises the births and deaths registered
by 2,196 registrars in all the districts of England during
the winter quarter that ended on March 31, 1855 ; and

registered places of worship unconnected with the Esta-
blished Church, and - 627 suoerinten(lent registrars'
offices, in the quarter that ended on December 31, 1855.
The general result or the returhs is of a mixed charac-
ter; for iron; excessivt.ly cold weather the mortality
of the quarter is the_ highest on !Tenni since the com-
mencement of the r.-gt,tration,. while the births and
marriages are above the average number; of the seasons.
