SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 16th have been received.
The Nacion describes the race that is going on for
railroads in the following terms :
" RailroAs are the order of the day. Madrid is full
of commissioners from different points of the Peninsula.
asking for iron lives, and complaining that those marked
out do not pass by their respective towns. Now that
nothing better can be done, they ask for at least the con-
cession of a branch, and the mania has reached to such
a point that ultimately a rich inhabitant of Carabanchel
de Arribs, a small place one league south of Madrid,
arrived by pest with a project that that village should be
permitted to make a couple of branches to join with the
lines to Valencia and to the north, and alleging that Ca-
rabanchel is not to be less that other places."
It is thought probable that the Cortes may be re-
assembled before long, as Senor BRAT° MURILLO is
said to be bent on carrying out large schemes of mate-
rial improvement, and among others of constructing
a system of railways by the issue of new State paper,
which he is doubtless aware is not likely to find a
sale abroad, unless its issue be sanctioned by a vote of
the Cortes.

of the national debt, which bears an interest of 4
rsement per cent., shall not be compelled to accept the reim.

question has recently been brought forward several
times in the Second Chamber.
The Government has determined to propose to the
Chambers, which are to meet in September, the con-
version of the Four per Cents. national debt into
Three- and-a. Half; and to bring this important mea-
sure into effect on the Ist of January,lBs3, being the
earliest legal time possible. This measure Will he
exceedingly

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, Aug. 21.
(Before Lord Chief Justice CAMPBELL.)
The following case occupied the Crown Court the
greater part of yesterday, and the verdict was not re-
turned until a late hour last night. It appeared to ,
excite considerable interest.
Mary Chester, 24, and Ann Murray, 26, were in-
dicted for having, at Manchester, on the 4th of De-
cember, administered to Ellen Ravenscroft a large
quantity of savin, with intent to procure miscarriage.
Mr. Monk and Mr. Ovens appeared for the prose-
cution, and for the defence Mr. Sergeant Wilkins,
Mr. Tindal Atkinson, and Mr. Wheeler.
It appeared that the prisoner Chester was a keeper
of a house of ill-fame in Manchester, and Murray
was her servant. Ravenscroft, the prosecutrix, was
in the Lock Hospital in Manchester, and too ill to be
present. Her depositions, however, were read over.
It was to the effect that she was nineteen years of
age, and had been a maid servant in Man
chester, where she was seduced ; after which sh e
went to live at Chester's house early in Da'
camber. She was pregnant, and suffering from
disease also. She communicated the fact of
her pregnancy to Murray, the servant, and,
Chester being informed of it, said she must have some-
thing to take it away, telling the servant to fetch
some " saffron" (according to the deposition). This
was done, and some small red-looking shavings were
procured, put into a jug, and hot water poured upon
them. The mixture was allowed to become cold, and
the prosecutrix drank a cup full three times a day for
a week. The servant always
mixed it, though
Chester was by the first time. About three weeks
after she had been in the house she was delivered of
a child. The child, she knew, was alive before she
took the medicine, but when it was shown to her
after delivery, she saw that it was dead.
Evidence of medical men attached to the Lock
Hospital in Manchester was then adduced, to show
that the administration of savin would produce the
effect described.
Sergeant Winans elicited that premature delivery
might also be produced by the use of mercury, and,
indeed, by a continuance In the course of life which
the prosecutrix led.
A girl who lived in Chester's house, Kate Ho-
ward, was called to speak to the condition of the
protecutrix at the time mentioned.
The case being closed for the prosecution, Mr.
Sergeant Wmxtris proceeded with his defence,
dwelling strongly upon the point in the depositions,
that " saffron ' was what had been sent for, and
urging that " something like shavings, small, and of
a red colour," did not at all answer the description of
savin. He also put prominently forward the evidence
which he had elicited as to premature parturition.
The JUDGE summed up, and the jury retired to
consider their verdict. After an absence of four hours
and a half they returned into court, and pronounced
a verdict of Not Guilty. Both prisoners were dis-
charged immediately.
' It was understood that a considerable subscription
was got up in Manchester to defend the prisoners,
one merchant there having sent the prisoner Ches-
, ter 501.

ON THE PHILOSOPHY OF MARRIAGE, AND THE SECRET
INFIRMINES OF YOUTH AND MATURITY.
WITH FIFTY COLOURED ENGRAVINGS ON STEEL.
In French, English, German, Dutch, Spanish, and Italian, in a
Sealed Envelope, 2s. 6d., or post-free, for Forty-two Stamps,
SELF-PRESERVATION; an
Analytical Investigation of the Physiology and Functions of
marriage, in all the bearings in which that important subject affects
vie health and happiness of Man, with its Disqualifications and Impe-
diments, tracing their origin to the effects of juvenile solitary habits,
youthful excess, tropical climates, or close study ; followed by prac-
tical remarks, founded on twenty years' experience in the treatment
of Impuissance, Nervous Debility, Local Weakness, Spermatorrhma,
Syphilis, and all diseases of the Urinary and Generative System. Il-
lustrated by 60 coloured Engravings, on the Anatomy of the Repro-
ductive Organs and their relative conditions in Health and Disease.
By SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D.,
Li, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON,
Doctor of Medicine' Matriculated Member of the University of Edin-
burgh, honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society,
Licentiate of Apothecaries Hall, London, &c., &c.
The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful
consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which
have produced more misery in Youth, degradation ill Man-
hood, and premature
decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment
adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated
schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe.
The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under
the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few
legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un-
divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short,
every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental
to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and
ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation
of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical
and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient
guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care
will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and
inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these
cases.

BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY.
No British or Colonial Brandy can compare with this pure
and wholesome spirit, introduced by us to the public a generation
ago. Supported as to its purity at its outset by the testimonials of
such men as the late Dr. Turner, the late Mr. Hume, and of living
celebrities, professed chemists, who analysed the spirit, it ever has
been unrivalled for its WHOLESOMENESS ; the patronage it has
continuously enjoyed vouches the universal appreciation of its
FLAVOUR, which is identical with that of choice Champagne
Brandy.
It is sold throughout the Kingdom, by respectable dealers, in glass
bottles, protected by the Patent Metallic Capsules, at 3s. a bottle ;
in dozens, bottles and cases included, at 18s. per gallon ; and in
stone jars of two gallons and upwards, at his, per gallon, pale or

LATEST FROM AMERICA.

ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMER CITY 0
MANCHESTER.
(FRoM OUR LIVERPOOL CORRESPONDENT.)
(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
At 7 o'clock this morning, the Liverpool and Phila'
delphia Steam-ship Company's screw-steamer City of
Manchester, Leitch, commander, arrived in the Mersey
from Philadelphia, which port she left on the 23dult.,
with 190 passengers, and three days' later intelligence
from all parts of the United States than we had previ-
ously received by the arrival of the Asia at Liverpool,
on Monday last.
Letters from New York and Washington concur
in the statement that Mr. Secretary Webster's health
is in so prectirious a state, that it is considered doubt'
ful if he will ever resume his official duties. His nan3e
had been withdrawn from the list of candidates for the
Presidency.
By the arrival of the steamer Empire City, at Nevr
Orleans from Cuba, we learn that the island W
tranquil when the steamer sailed. Orders had been
received from the Spanish Government, that no poll'
tical prisoners were to be sent to Europe by the
Governor-General of Cuba, unless the precise nature
of their offences were specified in writing, and for'
warded to the officer in whose charge they were
transported.
The general tone of the advices from Havana had
produced a stronger feeling in all the American war
bets, and Government Stocks especially had felt the
effect in a material rise of quotations.
The cotton markets were in much the same state
as when the Asia left New York, on the 20th. Large
receipts at the ports, and continued high estimates °L,
the crops, kept down prices,:but a good business for
export to Europe was going forward.
The breadstuff market was active and firm, with
the exception of flour, which, being in large supply'
might be had for shipping purposes at a trifling de°
cline.

Provisions were hardly in such brisk request as at
the last accounts ; yet prime pork ruled at full prices,
notwithstanding live hogs were quoted at 51c. to 6°'
per lb. Beef dull and nominal, lard and dairy pro'
duce without any noticeable variation.
Freights were somewhat firmer, and though 11°,
quotable alteration was made in the rates to Liverpl
or London, there was more inquiry by shippers, an
a probability of advanced prices.
Naval stores were scarce, but the market quiet 11P°°
a limited inquiry.
Exchange on London was in good request, at 11°1
to 1101. Paris, Hamburgh, and Bremen, Domini°
as at last dates from New York.

REPRESENTATION OF OLDHAM.—The greatest excite-
ment prevails in this borough with respect to the two
candidates, Mr. W. J. Fox and Mr. Heald. The Tories
have open houses, and free drink is given to parties at
many public houses and beer•shops. Meetings are held
at various places in the borough every night in the
week, and the disorder and drunkenness manifested by
the Tories is beyond description, so that many of the
Conservatives have become disgusted at the conduct of
their own party. It is generally believed that Mr. Fox
will be returned, and the giving of free drink by the
Tories is the cause of the riots.
DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT CIIESTEIL--011 Tuesday
night last, two disreputable females, sisters, of the name
,
of Thomas, w nt to the millers who were at work at the
Dee mills, and requested some corn to eat. Both of the
females were intoxicated, and upon going out the wheel
caught the dress of one of them, and drew her into the
mill, grinding her to pieces. 11:14 wen have been
examined and set at liberty.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

A Capital Match is the title of an excellent farce,
produced on Thursday evening with unqualified succes s..
Mr. J. W. Morton has contributed this most droll adap-
tation of a piece at present highly popular in Paris. N .r.
Sunnyside, a restless, middle-aged gentleman, aspires to
the hand of Mrs. Singleton, a widow, who, however, d e-
clares that she will not again enter into the bonds of
matrimony until her niece Rosamund is married. It is,
therefore, the anxiety of the enthusiastic Sunnyside that
the young lady in question shall be provided with a hus-
band as soon as possible, and ho scours Gloucestersli4ire
from one end to the other to find her a suitor_ but only
to meet with disappointment, for Miss Rosamund rejsc ts
the whole forty-six that he picks up for her with equal
brevity and peremptoriness. The truth is she has boon
privately married. This, Sunnyside at length discovers,
and restrained only by the threat that the secret
husband is a " crack shot " and a very dangerous man
to offend, he is compelled to contrivance to entrop
Mrs. Singleton. To describe the embroglio whiseh
ensu s would be impossible, for the niece affects
to accept a captain in the navy, who is courting
the aunt, the captain imposes her on Sunnyside, and. a
perpetual Succession of dilemmas ensue, ending in be
discomfiture of the little hero, who eventually not only
loses the widow, but a municipal appointment, which .he
has cunningly surrendered to further his projects upon
the former. The farce is full of diverting complications,
and as each step that Sunnyside takes becomes more
embarrassing, so the more ludicrous and ridiculous is t
is
position. The part of Sunnyside,a stolid personage,
who is played upon by everybody about him, and is in a
constant state of ludicrous mystification, is peculiarly
suited to Mr. Keeley. His eagerness to get the girl ou t
of the way, and negotiate a union with anybody that
happens to turn up, and the bemuddled state in which he
finds himself at last, when the mutual relations of the
whole of the dramatis personae are rendered by the
supreme cleverness of his intrigues confused and uncer-
tain, are essentially and irresistibly comic. He was well
supported by Miss Rosa Bennett, Mrs. Leigh Murray.,
and Mr. Howe.
London, England, 1852-11-06

The case was struck out, and tho protection ceased.

GUILDHALL.—John Cooper, charged on Months),
last with being concerned in a very extensive robbery
from the premises of his employers, Messrs. Whittaker
and Co., of 13, 14, 15, and 16, Ave Maria-lane, was
brought up before Alderman Sir R. W. Carden for far-
ther examination.

It appeared that the property stolen consisted of 24
silver dessert knives, 24 ditto table spoons, 24 ditto des-
sert spoons, 30 large silver forks, 12 small ditto, and 1
broken butter knife, all shell pattern and marked with
the prosecutor's crest, a griffin's head erect and a wy-
vern's head regardant. There was also 471. in cash, and
351. in 51. and 10/. Bank of England notes.
Mr. Hood, of the firm of Whittaker and Co., stated
that the front door of the promises closed with a spring
latch, and was usually secured by the prisoner, who had
the keys on leaving, by double locking.
Wns, tiuglies, who saw the prisoner leaving the pre-
Mises otigunflay morning about church time, said ho
had since examined the door, from which ho saw the
prisoner coming out, and found that also closed with a
latch, but, not being generally used, it was also secured
in the inside by a padlock. When the prisoner came
out ho merely pulled the door to after him, but did not
lock it as well.

Daniel May, the detective officer, said that the doors
spoken of could not have been opened even from the
inside without instruments, and there were not the
slightest signs of violence discernible about the doors or
fastenings, from which circumstance they had been
opened with the regular keys.
Sir IL W. Carden said that the witness Hughes and
his brother distinctly swore to having seen the pri-
soner leaving the prosecutor's at a time he alleges he
was at home, and they afterwards picked him out from
among 50 other men in the establishment as the one
they bad seen. The robbery he believed had not been
effected by regular burglars, as the desks appeared to
have been forced by implements on the premises, which,
coupled with other circumstances formed a case of very
strong suspicion against the prisoner. He should re-
mand him till Monday.

BOW-STREET.—Reuben Hart and Jacob Castelberg,
remanded upon a charge of being concerned in the rob-
bz:ry of llr. Jong., the watchmaker, in the Strand, were
brought up in custody and placed at the bar before Mr.
Jardine.

Mr. Wortley (of the bar) prosecuted, and Mr. Lewis
defended Hart, and Mr. Daniel defended Castclbcrg.
Some additional evidence was given, and the prisoners
were remanded, Hart being admitted to hail, himself in
20C1., and two sureties in 1001. each.

CAPTAIN PENNY AND THE ADMIRALTY.

Mr. Penny, late commander of the Lady Franklin
and Sophia, has been honoured by the Duke of North-
umberland evith an interview, and has received a
gratifying acknowledgment of his own services, and
those under his command, from the present Board of
Admiralty. [We are truly gratified to observe this aet
of justice—tardily performed it is true, but done at last
with a degree of courtesy such as we might confidently
have anticipated from his Grace the D4ke of Northum-
berland. Everything, indeed, would seem to have con-
spired latterly to compensate Captain Penny for many
past anxieties and disappointments. His eminent ser-
vices are no longer rccognizAl merely by ourselves, and
a few others, who were early in pronouncing their ap
preciation. They have been enhanced in their value by
events, and—as will now be seen from the above—they
have received the express recognition of the Govern-
ment.—ED. Su it.
