yespectin g his conduct to the prosecutrix, though in his own
statemen the persisted'that he was laid behind a wall, stupi-
fied from drink and a blow he received when he was knocked
down in the lane. On taking the prosecutrix borne her
husband fed her in, and was very angry with her for being
out so la te. She sat down- in a chair by the bedside,
being tble to go to bed, and then said nothing to him.
'Her h u braid got into bed again and slept until
near 4 ( i,elock in the morning, when he got up and struck a
light an d found his wife sitting in the chair, crying, and with
her face •all. bloody. He then asked her what was the matter
and she told him how she bad been ill -used. She went to
bed and • was unable to get up for two days; A surgeon was
sent for who found her person bruised and swollen, and she
was obli 'ed to be under his treatment for three weeks. The
pris .ner _Healy, on being taken into custody, made a state-
ment in( rdpating the other two prisoners and four other men,
but deny ing his own share in the disgusting transaction :
and the ether prisoners denied the truth of his statement.
Mr. II ARIA% for the defence, contended that the woman's
conduct I sad been light at the public-house, and that she was
too drunk : to allow any credence to be placed on her state-
ment. R,o bert Senior had evidently not told the truth, and
the other -witnesses called, who described the details, were
accomplit :e sin the transaction. He called witnesses to prove
that the l iriasecutrix had been guilty of light and improper'
conduct V ri th the men at the tea party.

Ellen ,Penns, alias White, 23, spinster, was indicted for
concealintg the birth of her child.
Mr. R, eland prosecuted, and Air. T. Chambers defended.
The circumstances attending the prisoner's guilt were of
a very horrible character. Early in February last she went
as cook to the Rev. Mr. Bishop, of Clarkton, and shortly
after he ;received a letter stating that she was then pregnant,
but she not in any way by appearance warranting him to
believe the allegation he paid no attention to the letter.

ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATOARIICEA ;
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the
Generative System, or Sexual Hypochrdndriasis. Translated from
the German of Dr. PICKFORD, of the University of Heidelberg.
—" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to' German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall
detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his
power to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851.

—.
" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this
distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare
the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to
cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object
than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Sperm,
torrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are
accurately described, and thus a safe guide is offered for the
treatment of the malady "—Medical Circular, May 5, 1852.
—" We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preliminary
chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of
the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate
price at which the ' brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of
every one interested in the matter."—Dublin Medical Press, April
38,1852.

BY F. B. COURTENAY,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
"'Thole who complain most loudly are those only who know not
how to use the common instruments ..... The practice of sur-
geons has been mar.:ed with all kinds of violence, one indifference
about the simple cure of diseases, and a passion for prations and
all the excesses and horrors of surgery. "—John Belt Surgical
Observations.—" In proof of his views he (Mr. COUrtenity) has
given the history of a great many cases successiblly treated, as had
as any which Mr. Syme adduced, and on which he had operated.
Such are cases ix., xi., xil., and xviii. No. ix. had resisted for
period of twelve yews, the treatment by dilitation, and ~..,_

SPIRIT of the VUTiLIC JOURNALS.
TIMES.—Mr. l‘Wrinlay;,a election for Edinburthn the
other day appeared to us 444 fit occasion for remarking ppm
Our gains ot enainent'unget twat lustre Priallatiant. How
many Parliamentary itiliblltieshave become absirbcd into
the ordinary conditicit of,..epiitituents? How many of the
great elected have rey,eit6o takhe status or nameless electors?
Such is-fame—such the milts of ambitLail To what shall
we liken the statesman's evanescent splendour? The
glancing bubble on the summer stream—the short-lived
glow on beauty's cheek-a-the doWn ion the sunny side; of
a peach.'have all been chosen as emblems of what is mast
delightfulto. the eye but most fleeting in its existence. The
bubble will burst—the trim maiden expand into a broad
and solid matron— the down on the peach disappear as cor-
ruption takes its place—but what are all these to the glory
and the disappointment of ambition? Cardinal WolseY,
Mr. G. F. Young, the brothers De Witt,' Mr. Chisholm
Anstey,l Belisarius,
George Thompson, hejanus,
-
and Mr. Reynolds, have all experienced in turn the
vicissitudes of glory and abasement.. The real fact
is, you can't depend upon tither King or people for
two months together. In the hour of his utmost need
either the one or the other will kick over the idol of the pre-
vious minute. The gentlemen on whom we have our eye at
the present moment may certainly feel a peculiar comfort
amidst the mortiticatien inseparable from being so uncere-
moniously bowled out. They were not appreciated. They
were what the French would call hommes incompris. They
were 'either so far advanced, or they so far lagged in the rear
with regard to the ideas of the age, that—strange as it may
Wear—their absence will be regarded as.a positive relief.
We don't' want either Froissart or Louis Blanc in the English
House at Commons but men of sufficient sympathy with
the spirit of the times not to be always straining at an- ex-
ploded past or an unrealised future. Now, we think it
will be found on reflection that the main reason why
one Parliamentary man becomes a hero and an-
other a bore, arises from the presence or absence
of this sympathy with the feelings and opinions of his
audience. If the currency question were really " up," one
could tolerate, even our dear pragmatical friend, Mr. Mintz.
But when a man attem;:ts to stop a bride andbridegroom on
their way to the altar, or to invoke the attention of an
operatic audience at the moment Mario is about to sing " Or
the in cielo,'r that he may indoctrinate them with his views
—be becomes at once a bore. Now, was not this pretty
much the case with poor 'Mr. Urquhart,
who would go en
about Constantinople and the Caucasus, and Lord Paliners-
ton's perfidious acts, when the House was yearning for
Corn-law arithmetic or a Maynooth sparring match? Then
there was Mr. Feargus O'Connor, but, in consideration of
his heavy affliction, we would simply note him as one of the
notabilities of the last Parliament whose name will not be
borne on the muster of the next Assembly, and pass
on. A consciousness of calamity oppresses us on
a sudden. Is our supply of shipping statistics to
be so prematurely cut off ? Lucifer—Son of the
Morning—lcarus, Mr. G. F. Ycung—where are you ?
tve could moralise over you as Hamlet over Yorick's skull.
Could not all your statistics—all your shipping intelligence--
all your poor-law facts save you from such a fate? you
were to have been a man Of note even among the Anakim,
and you are nowhere to be found. It was even said at one

time that you were to be leader of your party. Dukes served
you as bottle-holders, and assemblies of farmers were potted
out in rows to listen to your facts and figures. And now
George Frederick—Frederick George—you have vanished
from our sight like one of Oasian's misty heroes. Then Mr.
George Thompson, our great lecturer de omni re scihili, we
have no chance of hearing him again 'in his place in Parlia-
!silent. We do not mean to say that we ever heard much of
him even there, but then there was always a possibility.
He might have been on a professional tour among the
Oiibbeways or on the shores of Lake Tchad ; but we

sent us have an equal power of low wit ande priests have
mea-
sure of audacity, all we can say is, Parliamennt has bore the less and Dublin one carman the moasre.got ;an:
Chisholm Anstey remains. We are of those whj,
think this gentleman has more in him than would ap-
pear at first sight from his Parliamentary career. No man
ever abused the patience of the House more on his first en-
try into public life; but he got shorter—in other words, bet-
ter as he went on. Certainly, he has lost his seat on an
honest principle, and that is in a man's favour. In the in-
terval between his past and future public life—should the
course of events give him another chance—let him educate
himself after the fashion of Pythagoras' scholars. Let him
read and digest Tacitus, and employ his pen in writing ad-
vertisements for poor persons. Let him, above all things,
avoid being classed among bores, nor interrupt the course of
public business with wordy orations, and he may become a
useful member of the House Such is a list of some of the
most note-worthy members who have been either bowled
out, stumped out, or caught at the last innings of the St.
Stephen's Club against all England. Peace to their manes—
may they find dignified repose in the Valhalla of Bores.

NOVA SCOTIA.
By the Royal Mail steamer 'Niagara, which arrived in
Liverpool on Sunday morning last, we have received a most
important document, for which we are indebted to D.

LONDON, TUESDAY. JULY 20, 1852.

Bribery is already in
by
the too many
charge directed
eeenutnlsuccessful against the
instances the
successful candidates r
represen-
tatives. Petitions are, in y elected as
all directions, in active
preparation. The Opposition is in this manner 1
scarcely less frequently accused than the Government.
Defeated first at the hustings, and afterwards at the
polling booths, Hon. Gentlemen appear to be deter-
mined to allow their triumphant antagonists but
little time for exultation, and but small chance of
enjoying the sweets of tranquillity. Considering
the remarkable facility afforded to the
captious for directing against their opponents
the imputation of baying employed unfair means for
the purpose of obtaining a victory, the circumstances
here alluded to cannot but be matter for any astonish-
ment. It can only force upon the recognition of
every impartial judgment a sense of the absolute and
imperative necessity existing for the national adop-
tion of the ballot as a security against both corrup-
tion and intimidation. Unless the ballot be very
speedily accepted by the Legislature as a portion,
and a. very essential
portion, moreover, of
the representative system but little peace
will be attainable by t'he candidates, but
little satisfaction secured
by the constituency,
and but little fg.cility be afforded the newly elected i
legislators for entering at once
upon their duties as
Members of Porliiment. A con-,ide
the first session in every taw Tr rahle portion of
--mute
of Commons '
must be occupied in pronouncing upon the validity of 1
the various elections petitioned against on the ground

•of unfairness. The accepted of pocket boroughs and
family counties—those who are snugly returned as
a matter of course by their hereditary constituencies
—will have to sit in Committee in the Legislative
Palace at Westminster, to take into consideration
the force and value of the charges preferred against
the crowd of unfortunates who happen to have been
placed in other localities at the head of the poll after
some severely-contested struggle with the candidates
brought forward against them by their political an-
tagonists. All this, we repeat, will prove inevitable
with the present state of the law in reference to
elections—unless the difficulty of the position be
obviated by the speedy acceptance of the ballot by
the Imperial Legislature.
The illustrations recently furnished of the accuracy
of the foregoing statements are unhappily too nume-
rous to require their being specified individually-
After a couple of months have elapsed the new Par-
liament will assemble, according' to Ministerial
promise, for the purpose of being inaugurated by a
brief session—when it will very speedily appear how
many of the members recently returned are accused
by their unsuccessful opponents of having employed
bribery as
the means for elevating themselves into
the lower branch of the Legislature. Several of the
petitions here referred to, as already prepared and in
active course of preparation, are, it must be confessed,
on the very face of each as imperatively demanded
in the name of justice as others are shamefully uns
justifiable, being traceable only to party spleen and
private animosity. That matters should have become
thus confused in,several places during the course of the
recent elections can scarcely be matter of surprise
when it is remembered how much has been at stake
between the belligerents, between the candidates of
the Government and the candidates of the Opposi-
tion. There can be no question, for example, that
our contemporary, the Examiner, is perfectly correct
in its surmise, that in such places as Dartmouth,
Chatham, Devonport, Greenwich, Sandwich, Wind-
sor, and Rochester the influence always powerfully
in favour of those who are in office has been na-
turally employed in behalf of the interests of the
Administration. This is but precisely what might
the Wbigs had still continued have been expected
the reins of the
in the reverse d. •
direction, supposing
to hold in their grasp
Government. The result of the elec-
tions in these quarters is not so much, we repeat,
to be surprised at, or to be regarded as a source of
chagrin and disappointment. But feelings of
that poignant description cannot but be aroused,
on the other band, when it is observed that seats have
been here and there gained, it is to be feared, by in-
dividual efforts somewhat unjustifiable in their
character. Yet, that these efforts should some-
times have been adventured upon was only what
might rationally have been expected at a time when
party passions had become so very painfully and, in
occasional instances, so very manifestly exacerbated.
How far this irritation became apparent in the course
of the electioneering movement may be indi-
cated by allusion to such incidents as those
in which from one hustings the ATTORNEY-GENERAL
exclaimed that he wished the cheap loaf had stuck in
the throat of one of his free-trade interruptors, and in
which, from another hustings, the SECRETARY at
Was, addressed the assembled multitude as the vilest
rabble he had ever seen, and one that he, in conse-
quence, most heartily despised !
It would have been well for the credit of both can-
didates and constituencies if all the contested elec-
tions throughout the United Kingdom had resem-
bled the contested election that took place in the
borough of Lancaster. There the struggle which
took place between the rival candidates could scarcely
have been more energetic in its character. Yet,
although such was the case from first to last, the
gentlemanly bearing of those who were principally
engaged in the contest appears to have been not for
a single instant interrupted. The two Liberals, Mr.
SAMUEL GREGSON and Mr. BAYNES ARMSTRONG,
were returned, in lieu of the Derbyite Mr. JOHN
ELLIS and of the Peelite Mr. Tames GREENE,
thereby securing a gain of one, in that quarter, to the
cause of her MAJESTY'S Opposition. Yet, al-
though the analysis of the votes at Lan-
caster reveals the excitement provoked among
all parties in the course of the polling-227 votes
being', divided between ELLIS and GREENE, 52 be-
tween ELLIS and GREGSON, and 60 between ELLIS
and ARMSTRONG, while 13 plumpers were given for
GREGSON, 56 for GREENE, no less thar:74 for ELLIS,
and as many as 81 for ARMSTRONG—the good feel-
ing was preserved up to the last moment among all
the individuals interested in the agitation. This
honourable circumstance we regard as mainly
if not exclusively, attributable to the gal.
lant bearing of the defeated candidates--
but more particularly to the gentlemanly and
straightforward course pursued by Mr. JOHN
ELLIS, both towards the local possessors of the fran.
chise generally, and to the two newly-elected repre-
sentatives. While we rejoice in the triumph of Mr.
GREGSON and of his colleague, Mr. ARMSTRONG/
we cannot but i lament Lthat a Peelite, such as

while we cannot but consider the defeat

of Mr. JOHN ELLIS, formerly M.P. for the borough
of Newry, a matter of regret to the Free-traders in

severe loss to the supporters of her MAJESTY'S Govern-
ment. Fortunately
"
a variety of opportunities win

cumstances we should rejoice to witness the

distinguished Reformer like Colonel PEYRON-
NET THOMPSON, and of an eloquent and ener-
getic Free-trader like Mr. JOHN ELLIS by some
constituency devoted to the cause of the Derby
Government—upoa the same understanding that the
country is now looking forward to the return for

Yesterday morning a miserable-looking woman,
with her two children, was brought up at the West-
_
minster Police•court charged with the high crime
and misdemeanor of being. destitute (! ! !). It ap-
peared that the miserable creature had on the pre-
ceding evening applied at the station-house, stating
that she was extremely ill and destitute, having eaten
nothing that day, and but little for several days
previously. Mr. Simorts, the inspector on duty, who
acted throughout in an exceedingly creditable
manner, ascertaining from his personal observation
I that she was suffering from illness and exhaustion
sent with her to the workhouse of the united parish„;
of St. Margaret and St. John, 'Westminster, a police-
constable, who mentioned all the circumstances of
the case to the porter. The latter functionary corm-
! municated with some person in the interior of tEa
I building, hut on his return positively refused to re-
ceive her, or even to supply a small portion of bread
for her starving children. Tho in3pector, therefore,
gave
p the miserable family the food and other refresh-
ments which were most urgently required, and

brought the wretched example of workhouse libe-
rality before the court in the morning.
On being interrogated, the poor creature stated
that she had received an allowance of 2s. 6d. per week
from the parish, which was not sufficient to supply
the wants of her family, and that she had been wan-
dering about night after night for the last fortnight,
under trees or any casual shelter she could
The master of the workhouse was then sent
for, and
sleeping under
the usual class of answers was returned.
The woman was a bad character—a drunkard and
dissipated all her means (2s. 6d. per week, for
food and lodging, to say nothing of clothing or
washing !! !) in that way, besides if
she bad applied to the relieving-officer that morning
her week's money was due, " It was all in the hands
of the relieving-officer, and she might have applied to
him on Saturday." Aye, she might have done so,
unquestionably, but what would have been the result ?
We might

" Call spirits from the Tasty deep, but will they come?"
and we fancy that the call would be nearly as fruit-
less in one case as in the other. What, ask the re-
lieving. officer to advance the money two days before
it was due ! We can easily imagine the nature of the
response that would be returned. Not OLIVER TWIST 's
request for more would occasion greater horror
and astonishment than the application for money
before it was due ! and then as to the allowance being
due that morning, what would be the use of that if
she had perished with her children during the pre-
ceding night, as she might have done but for the
humanity of Inspector Simms!

The " worthy" magistrate, and in this instance we
use the well-merited term with sincere pleasure, ad-
ministered a strong rebuke to the officials. He said,
that
admitting the master's statement of drunkenness to
be correct, poor-law relief, in cases of urgent dis-
tress, was not to be withheld on questions of charac-
ter. This poor woman was found destitute and ex-
hausted, without a place to lay her head. There was
great neglect on the part of somebody. Suppose
she had died from exhaustion and neglect, those who
had refused to pay her the requisite attention would
have got, and most deservedly too, into most
serious trouble." He then directed that the inspector,
to whom he paid a well-merited compliment for his
conduct in the transaction, should attend before the
board of guardians with the woman, and see whether
the board did not think it their duty to inquire
whether some person bad not disobeyed their
orders, and ought therefore to be punished. We
shall await the result of this inquiry with
considerable curiosity, but in the mean time we
would commend the conduct of Mr.
ARNOLD to the
notices of his brother justices, as a model worthy of
imitation in such cases. And
we trust that his
wholesome caution may be borne in mind by re-
lieving officers and other officials,
that in cases
of death from exhaustion and neglect, " those who
had refused to
pay the requisite attention would get,
and most deservedly too, into most serious trouble.''
A due consideration thereof may possibly instil into
their hearts a little something which, if not "hu-
manity," is at least the best substitute we can hope
for under the circumstances of the case.

A dispatch from Strasburg, dated half-past twelve
o'clock yesterday, announced that in the morning the
PRINCE PRESIDENT had crossed the Rhine by the
bridge constructed by the Engineers, and gone to
Kehl, where he reviewed the Baden troops amidst the
loudest acclamation. Ile re-entered Strasburg es-

The Debats of yesterday contains a long reply by
M. EMILE CHEVALIER to the last article of the Con-
stitutionnel in favour of the Protectionist principle.
The concluding portion of this article, which we sub.
join, is written with great force ;--
" We abk all men of good-faith whether it is not no-
torious that France has at present a body of very clever
manufacturers, and that in most branches of manufac-
tures we are not inferior to any ope, but, on the con-
trary, above almost every one? Is it not notorious that
such branches as sell their goods dear to the public, that
state of things results from the fact of foreign competition
not having sufficiently stimulated them, or of their pos-
sessing a monopoly which nothing justifies? Can it to
contested that a multitude of regulations, which may
have been sr ...Ruble thirty or forty years bask, have at
present, by the progress of time, become hurtful? Have
not all the ministers of commerce who have succeeded
each other, from the commencement of the peace, from
M. de St. Cricq to M. Cunin-Gridaine, repeatedly from
the tribune warned the manufacturers who were pro-
tected in an exorbitant manner that it was only for a
time? Did not the manufacturers accept that declara-
tion? Is not the sum of one milliard 200 millions paid
by the French. public to the iron trade from 1814 to
1848, over and above what the same products would have
cost in the general market, a sufficient sacrifice? and
ought not steps to be now taken to put a stop to such a
state of things? Would it not be wise to turn into the
Treasury the premiums which the smugglers receive,
which would be an easy matter by replacing prohibitive
duties by moderate ones? Is not all that we are here re-
commending quite in conformity with the letter and
spirit of the principles of 1789? Is not the mass of pro-
hibitive duties which constitute the present tariff opposeddia-

must make up its mind
to discuss, in place of launching out into vague declama-
tions against free trade, and against unlimited liberty of
commerce, which it knows perfectly well no one recom-
mends. It is by discussing the real and practical side of
the questions now on the order of the day that the press
can still worthily fulfil its mission, and relieve itself
from the reproach which has been so often brought
against it of being only an instrument of sterile
ideology.

We gave last week from the Union the protest of
DON MIGUEL of Portugal. The Union makes this
protest the text of an attack upon England, Which it
accuses of fomenting in all countries a spirit of revo-
lution. This is an old charge of the Legitimist
organs, but it is regularly reproduced whenever the
slightest opportunity presents itself of returning to
the subject.

The Constitutionnel has a long article on the in-
fluence which the gold discoveries in California and
Australia may have on the currency. It shows that
the alarm which was manifested lest these discoveries
should have an almost immediate and sensible effect
was unfounded, and expresses its approbation of the
refusal of the French Government to comply with
the r€ commendations that were made to it to take
precautions, which the Constitutionnel contends were
not called for by circumstances. It adds :
" Does it follow that we wish to deny the importance
of the discovery of new gold mines? That would be to
go beyond our ideas. It is not only California, it is
Australia, which has just added to the production of
gold. If the workings are kept up on a large scale, they
evidently must, after a certain period of time, change
the relations existing between the value of the two pre-
cious metals. This is, we admit, a serious question,
which the Government must not lose sight of. A kind
of monetary congress of the different powers has been
talked of, but we know not whether there is any truth
in the report. It would. perhaps, be the best means of
avoiding the crisis which may ultimately result from the
adoption of isolated measures.
