EMIGRATION TO SOUTH AUSTRALIA,

Lest evening a public meeting was held in the British
and Foreign School-room, Cowper-street, City-road, for
the purpose of marking the departure for Australia of a
party of 180 intending emigrants of both sexes, who are
to sail in a few days by the ship Lord Delaval, which
has been chartered under the auspices of a committee of
gentlemen connected with various dissenting denomina-
tions. The room was well filled with an assemblage of
all classes, drawn together by the expectation that Mrs.
Chisholm would attend to address a few parting words
of advice to the emigrants, which she did. In the courseb
of her address, one of the emigrants asked " Shall we) e_3
shaved, Ma'am, when we cross line—(Loud laughterthe?
Mrs. Chisholm said that the razor used on crossing

crossed the line, but never easy any shaving. However,
he thought its discontinuance in all cases should be made
imperative. Mrs. Chisholm said that within thew last
two months she knew of five cases of shaving, h
were all bad ones. The custom was like that of making
workmen pay their footing. She did not wish to trench
upon poor Jack's old established perquisites; but let the
passengers substitute a supper, by subscribing 3d. a-head
or so, at the end of the voyage, as a mark of good feeling
to the crew. This would be much better than giving
them drink.

TUE ASSASSINATION OF MR. MANIFOLD.—The Lord
Lieutenant has offered a reward of 1001. for such infor-
mation as may lead to the conviction of the assassin of
the late Mr. Manifold.
IRISH
.EMIGRATION.—The emigration fever in Ireland
has certainly received some check since the close of the
summer ; but still considerable numbers are taking
their departure for America or Australia. A local
journal gives an account of the "complete decay, of the
once prosperous and happy village of Kinvara, ' from
which most of the shopkeepers and other inhabitants
huxe emigrated.

ITALY.

A letter from Rome of the 14th, i❑ the Journal des
Dibats, says :—" It is said here that Sir 11. Bulwer,
whose health is delicate, and to whom the climate of
Rome appears more favourable than that of Florence,
intends prolonging his stay here, without, however,
giving up his post of minister at the Court of I'm,
cany. Is this a new phase in the mission with which
he has been charged to the Roman government ?
That is not impossible, for time alone can now offer
him any chance of success, and yet it is more than
probable that he will not arrive at any conclusion. The
Court of Rome is, with respect to England, in a posi-
tion good enough not to allow herself to be induced to
quit it, and, in tact, the measures which have raised
so much clamour in England have not the less
received their application there. Some journals have
presented in a false light the object of Cardinal
Hohenloh's mission to Vienna. The matter did not
relate, as was said, to fix the indemnity to be paid by
the Pontifical government to the Imperial army of
occupation in the legations, since that indemnity has
been long fixed and paid. The question WAS to ob-
tain a reduction of the amount paid. That reduction
of about a million francs, has been conceded by the
Emperor, being about the one•fifth pert of the whole
sum paid each year. The Duke of Modena has been
passing some days here; he is returning from Naples
to his own dominions."

The Sardinian squadron anchored on the 15:h in
the roadstead of Ilyeres, under the command of Count
de Persano. It consists of two frigates, a corvette,
and three brigs, and is proceeding from Palma to
Genoa.

The Provincial Council of Vercelli (Piedmont) de-
cided, in its sitting of the 18th, that it would contri-
bute 350,000 fr. towards the construction of the Ver-
celli and Casale railway line, and 150,000 fr. towards
that of the Vercelli and Mortara line.
The Giornale di Roma of the 14th contains a noti-
fication announcing that in consequence of the late
concessions of the Pope notified by the Minister of
Commerce on the 9th of August, a great fair is to be
held at Terracina, which is to commence on the 2d of
November, and end on the 16th of the same month.
Letters from Rome of the 14th, in the Risorgimento
of Turin, state that the excavations commenced in the
Forum of Rome have led to the discovery of the foun-
dations of the Julian basilica to the extent of about

100 yards in length, and 30 in breadth. The pave.
went is of maabie of different kinds, including some
large slabs of giallo antico, and the bases of several
pilasters have been laid open.
The Pope, who some days back gave the Cross of
the Holy Sepulchre to a French painter, M. Dumas,
author of the picture representing St. Peter and St.
Paul going to martyrdom, has just conferred the
Cross of St. Gregory on one of the French students
at Rome, M. Andre, architect of the monument
raised to the memory of the French soldiers killed
during the seige of Rome.

QELF-PRESERVATION; an
Analytical Investigation of the Physiology and Functions of
Marriage, in all the bearings in which that important subject affects
the 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, Spermatorrhcea,
Syphilis, and all diseases of the Urinary and Generative System. Il-
lustrated by 50 coloured Engravings, on the Anatomy of the Repro-
ductive Organs and their relative conditions in. Health and Disease.
By SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D.,
V, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON,
Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin-
burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital :dedical 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 in 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'afert, 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.

IN RE BLAKE.

This was an adjourned last examination meeting in
the matter of J. Blake, innkeeper, of Attleburge, in
Suffolk. He owed 1,2171. to unsecured creditors, and
6204 to those holding security. His assets consisted
only of 51. 9s 23 in good debts, and a trifling amount
entered as doubtful; the whole of his property had been
seized and sold by Sir W. B. Smyth, under a bill of sale,
given about a twelvemonth before the bankruptcy, and
had produced 3001. The profits had been 120/.; trade
expenses, 6221.; domestic do., 2821.; losses, 3091. There
was an admitted deficiency at the cemmencement of the
accounts of 3071.

Mr. Linklater, in support of the bankrupt, stated that
amendments had been made in the accounts, and asked
that the bankrupt should now pass, as there had been
repeated adjournments at the instance of the assignees.
Mr. Lucas, for the assignees, opposed the bankrupt's
passing, principally on the grouud that certain furni-
ture, in the possession of his daughter, in a house near
Euston•sgaare, was in reality the property of the bank-
rupt.
His Honour said he should allow the bankrupt to pass,
giving the assignees leave to commence an action for the
recovery of the furniture. A distant day must be fixed
for the certificAte,`as the court, in judging of the bank-
rupt's conduct, would have regard to the result of the
action.

THE QUEEN V. DUCILLAND.

George Buckland, a soap-manufacturer in an exten-
sive way of business, residing in Orchard•place, Wal-
worth•rosd, was charged on an indictment containing
three counts; two of them alleging that ho had used
certain illegal utensils, by which he had incurred two
penalties of 2001; and in the third count he was charged
with conveying away from his premises a certai❑ quan-
tity of soap, thereby defrauding her Majesty of the duty
chargeable thereon, by which he had incurred a penalty
of 5001. To all of which charges ho pleaded not guilty.
A number of witnesses were then examined in support
of the counts in the indictment.

After a few words from Mr. Parry for the defence,
Mr. Clarkson replied on the whole case at considerable
length.
A warrant was then issued for the payment of the
penalty.

LITERATURE.

Slackens' Iland Book lo the Practice of the Common
Law Procedure Act and Bankruptcy. Waterlow

- -
and Sons, London Wall.
The 24th instant will become memorable in the
annals of legal jurisprudence, for on that day comes
into operation the Common Law Procedure Act, and
with it the downfall of special demurrers, long and
craftily contrived pleadings, jury process, distringas
and a host of lumbering forms and tricky technicaii-
ties, which tended to retard, and not to facilitatils
the speedy administration of justice. The pleaders,
one and all, may now exclaim, " Othello's occupa-
tion's gone;" but if we mistake not, the new Act will
furnish many points of difficulty, in practice, for the
ingenuity and talent of these learned pundits.
Among the many works that have been recently
published on the subject, there is one by „Mr. Stocken,
which displays
great assiduity and research. The
author is evidently a practic.il man, and well expe-
rienced in his prolesion: he has digested the various
sections of the Act in a masterly manner, and his
notes comprise a great number of important sugges-
tions for working out the new statute. Stc'ckcn's
Hand Book is a valuable addition to the library of
i be cominon law lawyer, sod will prove a useffil cona-
pinion to the country practitioner. The work, la
;I,ldition to the ns.w statute, gives, in extPneo, the
Evidence and Absconding Debtor's Acts, and the
mode of proceeding thereunder, with the practice and
decisions relating to trader, debtors, suinnionses,
judges' orders, removal of plaints, nod appeals from
county courts. The whole is interspersed with co-
pious notes, analytical and explanatory, and forms a
volume that may be consulted with advantage both
by practitioner and student.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Austria has
fully approved of the preparatory labours relative to
the political and commercial question that the Minis-
ter has transmitted to him. The system of customs
unions, as laid down in the memorials of the years
1849 and 1850, will, it is said, be modified, Po that
from the Ist of January, 1854, the Austrian Govern-
ment will be prepared to enter into a customs union
with all the states that shall be willing to join it.
The latest letters received at Trieste from Alex-
andria make no mention of the English expedition to
the Persian Gulf.

Most of the German States, and amongst them
Austria, Bavaria, Wurtemberg, the Grand Duchy of
Baden, the two Hesses, Saxony, and Hanover, have,
in imitation of Prussia, resolved not to sign any pass-
ports for workmen to go to Switz,:=rland, and, ac-
cording to the Nuremberg Correspondent, they think
of recalling the workmen who are already in that
country. The reason assigned for these measures is
to preserve the workmen from the schemes of the
Socialists.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Sir,—lt seems to me very unaccountable that, in the
present dearth of silver and superabundance of gold,
there should be any difficulty in procuring hell-sovereigns
at the Bank of England.
Having asked my London bankers to get me 2,0001.
or more in half-sovereigns, I find, that when they have
put aside my proportion of all that they could procure
from the Bank of England for several days, I have re-
, turned with 1151. worth. _

New sovereigns of 1852 I have got in abundance;
but why, if half-sovereigns ere required, are they not
eomed ?
Is there a good understanding between the Bank of
England—which must know the requirements of the
public—and the Mint, which ought in this case to sup-
ply them ? The scarcity has existed for a month or
more, and much aggravates the difficulty arising from
the present scarcity of silver.
An Act of Parliament may be required for coining
gold pieces of 55 value, which would be a great accom-
modation at present; but why, in the existing state of
the vaults of the Bank of England there should be any
difficulty in supplying the half-sovereigns, I crinot
imagine.

I remain, Sir,A Your obedieot servant,

THE "CONFESSIONAL," IN THE CHURCH
OF ENGLAND.

We understand that arrangements are in a forward
state for a great metropolitan meeting, with the view of
making a decided demonstration against the practice of
" Contession" in the Anglican Church. The day has
not yet been definitely fixed, but it will probably
.be on
the 3d of November. The meerng in London. will be
followed up by other great assemblages ;in Liverpool
and Manchester. At these meetings it will be recom-
mended that recourse should be had to the Ecclesiastical
Courts, for the punishment of the Rev. Mr. Prynne,
should Counsel be of opinion that there are grounds for
an action ; but should the Evangelical party in the
Church to advised that the Ecclesiastical Courts are
not likely to punish Mr. Prynne, it is probable that the
course to be adopted will be to denounce the Rev. Gen-
tleman in such terms as will compel him to resort to an
action for defamation. of character,—in which case the
object of the Evangelical party will lite gained, which is
to insure a thoroughinvestigation of the whole matter
in a court of law.—Morning Advertiser.

LONDON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1852,

It is not only the English Parliament that is con-
vened for the 4th of November. The French Senate
is also announced to assemble on that day, according
to an official statement contained in the hi•niteur.
Everything promises, therefore,thatby
the autumnal
season of 1552. will be distinguished incidents of
importance, both in the British and the Gall Legis-
lature. Under any circumstances, it wouldhave
be en remarkable to notice the simultaneous
assem-
blage so late in the year, of the representatives of ho
two great countries, confronting each other on the
opposite shores of the Channel ; but at the present
juncture, the circumstance (one by the way of very
unusual occurrence) is peculiarly calculated to attract
the attention of the snore observant to the proceedings
of the respective councils at Paris and at Westmin-
ster. What, moreover, renders the fact to which we
are making allusion, one of very especial significance,
is the reflection, that precisely at this time there is a
talk in France of a reduction in the army of no less
than 73,000 men, while in Eagland there are active
preparations
arations for the calling out a considerably in-
creased militia, or, at any rate, a militia wonderfully
enhanced in efficiency by the scope and completeness
of its re-organization. Contrasting strongly as these
anticipated movements do, they evidence with equal
distinctness, although a

to be recognized, that conquest, however enormous,
is only detrimental to the interests of a great and
flourishing community. During the past thirty-fire
yearb' tranquillity, France has learnt that in Algeria,
es unmistakably as England has done in Ilindostan.
The seizure of her now gigantic territories in Africa
has, more than anything—more even than her two
successive revolutions—tended to drain the resources
of France, and to impose a heavy additional debt upon
our previously embarrassed exchequer. For our-

LITERATURE.

Stoehene Bond Book to the Practice of the Contmex
Law Procedure Act and Bankruptcy. Waterlow

and Sons, London Wall.

The 24th instant will become memorable in the
annals of legal jurisprudence, for on that day come'
into operation the Common Law Procedure Act, and
with it the downfall of special demurrers, long and
craftily contrived pleadings, jury process, distringss ,
and a host of lumbering forms and tricky technicali-
ties, which tended to retard, and not to facilitate,,
the speedy administration of justice. The pleaders,
one and all, may now exclaim, " Othello's occupa-
tion's gone ;" but if we mistake not, the new Act will
furnish many points of difficulty, in practice, for the
ingenuity and talent of these learned pundits.
Among the many works that have been recent
published on the subject, there is one by Mr. Stocken,
which displays great assiduity and research. The
author is evidently a practical man, and well expe-
rienced in his profession : he has digested the various
sections of the Act in a masterly manner, and his
notes comprise a great number of important sugges-
tions for working out the new statute. Stocken's
bland Book is a valuable addition to the library of
the common law lawyer, and IN ill prove a useful corn-
pinion to the country practitioner. The work, in
addition to the new statute, gives, in extenso, the
Evidence and Absconding Debtor's Acts, and the
mode of proceeding thereunder, with the practice and
decisions relating to trader, debtors, summonses,
judges' orders, removal of plaints, and appeals from
county courts. The whole is interspersed with co-
pious notes, analytical and explanatory, and forms a
volume that may be consulted with advantage both
by practitioner and student.
