POACHING IMPERTINENCE.

At Sutton-in-Ashfield, Samuel Slack and Joseph
Murray, both of Mansfield, were charged with
having rabbits unlawfully obtained, and being in
possession of nets for taking game, on the 31st
ult.

Police-constable Butler deposed—About a quar-
ter-past four o'clock on Sunday morning, the 31st
ult., I was on duty in Newgate-lane, Mansfield,
in company with police-constable Richard Hind
and police-constable William Hall. I saw Joseph
Murray come out of a farmyard, in a field belong-
ing to Mary Watkinson, and walk towards me.
I was concealed behind a gate-post. When he
same near me I went up to him and said, " Now,
Murray,
I must search you." He said, " Very
well." I searched him, but found nothing on him.
He had a large rough dog with him. When I
had finished searching him, he said, " You see
went away,
there's more ways of doing it than one." He then
When he had got about 150 yards
from me he stopped and whistled. Hind and Hall
joined me at the same time. We heard a crash in
the farmyard as if some persons were getting over
the fence. We

—I don't consider it's fair soldiering," Police-con-
stable Hind gave corroborative evidence. In de.
fence Slack said, " I'd no notice given me about
the new act, Which I ought to have had. If I go
and take the wild animals in the air, I consider
they are mine. If we are not taken on the spot
where we get the game, I consider we , are free
when we get home with it. The nets produced
are my property," Sir E. S. Walker—You have
no more right to go on a man's land to take game
than you have to go into a farmyard and take
away the fowls. Murray said—l don't know why
I have been summoned hero at all. There was
nothing found upon me. I know nothing about
the nets, and was not out with Slack. Capt. Hall
L --we have not the slightest doubt upon our mind

but that you were in company. You will be fined
£5 each, or three months' imprisonment, the rab-
bits to be sold, and the nets destroyed. The pri-
soners were committed, and became very abusive
as they were being taken out of court. Addressing
Sir Edward, Murray said, "You may be dead when
I come out, but your game will not. I'll do for you
yet, so help me God."

(Royal Seal granted 17th July, 1860), Sets or partial
Sets of Teeth, exquisitely enamelled to nature, are made and
fitted in a few hours by means of his patented sott elastic and
imperishable base of the colour of the gum, to which it ad-
heres with wonderful tenacity, dispensing with springs or
unsightly fastenings, and defying detection by tee cl.sest
observer. The peculiar attribute of Mr. Eskell's invention
is, the readiness with which these teeth can be re-adapted to
any change of the mouth (even by the wearer); and as they
act independently of all disturbing causes which affect teeth
of ordinary construction, they aye guaranteed tc last a life

PROSPECTUS.

The progress mad' during the last ien years by the Bri-
tish Colonies in South .kacca has been very remarkable ;

thethat
im
period,por t
m exports,utti
ed'dudthreefold, and from public returns

increaseto hand,wt 1 i
e
sh iwn in the present year.
The bar:sing capital of the colonies has not kept pace with
this increase of trade, and it has become clear that a new
banging institution of considerable magnitude, and with
tdequate resources, is now a public necessity, and must com-
mand success. _ _

To meet this necessity, and as a profitable and safe in-
vestment of capital, the Standard Bank of British south
Afrca is established. _ _ _

That the proposed field of operations is both safe and
profitable is shown by the fact that, although in the -outh
African Co,onies the rates of discount on first-class bills
range from 8 to 12 per cent , not one instance of loss is re-
corded in the last annual statements of the local banks.

The following Is a statement of the present selling prices
of shares in existing local banks, the dividends paid bj these
banks during the last year having varied from 12 to 22 per
cent. per annum.

THE LATE STEAMBOAT ACCIDENT ON

THE TYNE.

NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, OCT. 16.
Mr. Hoyle, the coroner for this borough, has just
concluded a three days' inquiry into the circum-
stances of the collision below Bill Point, on the
Tyne, on Tuesday night week, between the Tyne-
mouth and Forester, passenger steamers, by which
the latter was immediately sunk and four persons
drowned, and a fifth, a woman, subsequently died
from the effects of the shock upon her system, she
having lost a little boy, her son, who was washed
out of her arms, and whose body has not been re-
covered.. The name of the poor woman was Eleanor
Wilkinson, belonging to Stella, who was returning
from visiting some friends down the water at the
time of the collision.

It will be remembered that the Tynemouth was
coming down from NeWcastle between six and seven
o'clock on the night of Tuesday the 7th, to proceed
to Shields, and had got round Bill Point into Bill
Beach, above the Walker Ironworks, when she met
the Forester, and ran into her, and sunk her in
three minutes.

About 20 witnesses were examined by the coroner
and jury, and though the evidence of neither boat's
crew was taken, as is always the case in collisions,
the testimony of the witnesses was of the most con-
flicting character. The Tynemouth was coming
down on the ebb at the time of the collision, and
the rule of the road was, that she should have been
on the port or south side of the river, and the
Forester on the larboard side.

Several passengers, who were on board the
Forester when the occurrence took place,swore that
the Tynemouth was on the north, and, therefore,
on the wrong side of the river, and nearly drove the
Forester ashore; as the crew of the latter vessel
attempted to avoid coming into collision with her.
Whereas, all the passengers, who were on board
the Tynemouth when the collision took place,swere
that the Forester was on the south side of the chan-
nel of the river as she was meeting the Tynemouth,
and caused the collision by putting her helm a-port
when it was too late ; and by doing so, lying her-
self athwart the Tynemouth bows. The jury had
a long consultation before they came to a verdict;
but ultimately returned the following, " That the
deceased, David Sheriff, and others, were drowned
in the water of the River Tyne, in consequence of
a collision between the steamers Forester and Tyne-
mouth, and that such collision took place by reason
of the Tynemouth being out of her proper course."

The above work contains most useful and interesting
information on the physiological changes which occur
in the Reproductive System during the periods of youth,
puberty, and manhood ; and on the due attainment of that
degree of functional vigour upon which the hopes of posterity
depend. It also points out how all the attributes of Man-
hood can be preserved to an advanced period of life, how they
are lost, and how they can be recovered. It is free from the
gross exaggerations, alarming descriptions, and dangerous
remedies so generally resorted to by persons, who, prac-
tising with false medical qualifications, inflict most serious
Injuries, and render judicious treatment frequently abortive.
The Author is the only legally qualified practitioner
whose name stands on the Medical Register (the only
true test of medical qualification), who has been exclu-
sively engaged for a series of years in the treatment of the
variou4 functional disorders of the nervous and reproductive
system, which, owing
to the great discoveries of modern
science, are rendered subservient to a rational, simple,
and easy mode of treatment.

SUSPECTED MURDER AT DUDLEY.

On Friday morning last, the body of a man
named Charles Montgomery was found dead, under
a cinder wall, at Netherton, near Dudley, under cir-
cumstances which left no doubt that he had me;
with foul treatment. Two men are in custody upon
suspicion of being concerned in his death. Their
names are Peter Shaw, beerhouse-keeper of Nether-
ton, and Edward Parkes, also of Netherton, sinker.
From what has at present transpired, it would ap-
pear that on Thursday night the deceased was drink-
ing at Shaw's house. At the time he left he was
indebted to a trifling amount for ale. About 12
o'clock at night two youths who had been carol
singing (named Bloomer and Dixon) saw Shaw
dragging a man, who was groaning, by the leg,
from his house into the horse road. He had then
left the man, and upon seeing the two youths he
shouted to them to take the man home, as he was
drunk. They, however, were frightened, and went
home as speedily as possible. About 4 o'clock in
the morning a woman named Sarah Parsons, living
next door to the prisoner Flukes, heard a noise which
induced her to listen. She heard Parkes say, " I
won't kill the —, but if there's water enough in
the pump drown him to death." Parsons got
up, and on looking through the window saw Parkes
pumping water into a bucket, and then take it
past her window. She heard the water thrown,
and the voice of a man crying out from the entry,
saying—" Oh ! I couldn't serve a poor creature like
this." The man repeated this twice, and Parsons
heard the water thrown three times. The body of
the deceased has been identified by the two lads as

NEW YORK, DEC. 20, MORNING.

The latest advices, received from Washington this
morning, report that Lord Lyons had not yet
delivered any official despatches to the Federal
Government.

It is remarked that at the President's last levee
neither the English, French, nor Prussian Ministers

were present.

Mr. Secretary Chase, at a bank meeting, expressed
an opinion that by January the Federal naval and
military operations would give decisive results, and
that the British question was capable of and would
have a pacific solution.

An impression prevails very generally that the
Federal Government will not go to war on this
question, and that if the demands of the British
Government for the surrender of Messrs. Mason and
Slidell are couched in moderate language, they will
be complied with.
The popular excitement was much increased by
the news of the warlike preparations in England
brought by the Europa.

Translated from German of Dr. PICKFORD.
‘.‘ Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that 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.

" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
frm this distressing shalady by translating this little book,
anti by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adirenturers, who profess to cure a disease of which they
imply nothing, with no, other object than to fill their own
putsts. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the
various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.

THE OLD AND NEW YEAR.

Some extraordinary gatherings of a religious
character were witnessed last night and at an early '
hour this morning in various parts of the . metropo-
lis. For a long time past—from the time is be-
lieved, of John Wesley—it has been the practice of
the Wesleyan Methodist body to keep the last night
of the old year as a " watch night," setting it apart
for the special purpose. of watching the old year
out and the new year in. Their custom has been,
and still is, ito assemble about 10 o'clock or half-
past, and then to pray, preach, and sing alternately.
At about a quarter to 12 the practice is to sing a
jubilant hymn, and then, as the clock approaches
more nearly the hour of 12 the whole congregation
kneels down and devoutly engages in silent prayer,
In this position they they continue until 12 o'clock
has struck, and when, consequently, the new year
has begun. The habit is then, at a given signal,
to rise from prayer, sing another hymn, and depart
with mutual congratulations and good wishes.
This system was strictly adhered to last night and
this morning at the chapels in the City-road, Great
Queen street, Hinde.street, Manchester-square, St.
George's-in-the-East, and others in connection with
the body.

IMPROVEMENTS IN NEIVGATE- STREET.—During
the last few days a considerable improvement has been
carried out in Newgate-steet, at the east end of it, in conse-
quence of the roadway having been widened several feet.
For this purpose, some old and nearly dilapidated
houses have been removed, and on the site in the rear of
them some large warehouses will be erected. That which
used to be called Butcher Hall-lane, which recently was
only wide enough for one carriage to pass along, is now
called King Edward street, and it is made int) a thorough-

footway leading to Christ's Hospital.
