THE GEgAT E A STERN,

The following is a copy of a telegram received at
the offices of The Company, April 16th, 1862, from
CT 'Wain JarJoon, Company's agent, Milford, to
''• H. Yatr2s, 90, Cannon-street, London :

board. The Memphis Appeal is issued on a hal:

sheet. In view of the scarcity of lead it suggests
that the lining of tea chests be run into bullets. The
ladies of Charleston are contributing their jewels,
silver spoons, watches and money to build a gun-
boat.'

The New Orleans Crescent of Thursday, the 20th
ult., says :

" If there was such a thing as a paper-market to-
day, it was not perceptible to my optics. Money
is abundant, and good securities can be placed at

rates less than 5 per cent. per annum. The banks
are confining their transactions to the renewal of

maturing obligations, and as commercial paper in
amount, as well as quantity, has dwindled down to
an insignificant sum, the large surplus which they
held has been in part invested in the five million
loan of the State. The question of a general re-
tiring of the circulation of our banks is yet Ansettled.
Our bank presidents could not come to any mutual
agreement. The demand for small change still
continues, though the vacuum is being
gradually filled up with the issues of the

State Treasury, theßank of Louisiana, and

State Bank.

The cutting or dividing of

notes still continues. We conceive it to be our duty
to call attention to the fact that the cutting of the

State Treasury notes will cause considerabletrouble

on settlement. These issues cannot be settled in

the same way as banknotes—that is, when presented
for funding in half-notes. Therefore, we say, do
not divide the Treasury notes of the State. The
movements in gold and silver coin appear to be
voluntarily diminished. Some few sales take place

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.

(Before the Lord Chief Baron and Barons Channell, Brain
well, and Wilde.)
GLENDINNING V. THOMAS.

Mr. Honeyman showed cause against a rule obtained last
term by Mr. Laxton, calling upon the defendant to show
cause why an attachment should not be issued against him
for contempt in not obeying a subpoena served upon him to
produce certain documents required for the purposes of the
plaintiff's action, which was brought for breach of promise
of marriage, and for the maintenance of an illegitimate child
to which the plaintiff had given birth, and in consequence
of the non-attendance of the' defendant, the plaintiff's
counsel were compelled to withdraw the record. The learned
counsel produced an affidavit of the defendant, in which he
represented that there had been no wilful default on his
part, and that he was in attendance in the neighbour-
hood of the Court, and that the cause had been called
on without his knowledge, and that no one on the part of
the plaintiff called upon him to attend, nor did he hear his
name called. The learned counsel then submitted there was
not sufficient contempt to justify the motion for an attach-
ment, but if the plaintiff sustained any real damage then an
action might be brought.
Mr. Laxton having been heard in reply in support of the
rule,

The Court decided the alleged contempt was insufficient
to justify an attachment, and therefore discharged the rule
with'costs.

BURGESS V. MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD) AND LINCOLNSHIRE

RAILWAY.

Mr. Macauley, Q.C., moved in this case, on the
part of the defendants, for a rule calling upon the
plaintiff to show cause why a verdict found for him
with £lOO damages should not be set aside and :a new
trial granted. The action was tried before the Lord
Chief Justice, at the last Lincoln Assizes, and was for injury
sustained by the plaintiff in consequence of the tire of one
of the wheels of the railway carriage breaking, in which he
was riding near Gainshorough Station on the 15th of De-
cember, 1860, during a s,,ow-storm, which caused the car-
riage to be detached from the train, and no less than 13
persons were thrown out, but owing to the fortunate cir-
cumstance of a heavy fall of snow none of them were se-
vei ely injured. The defendants contended that the break-
ing of the tire of the wheel did not arise from any neglect
on the part of the company, or their servants, and arose
from circumstances over which they had no control.

The Court intimated that it would consult the Lord
Chief Justice before it gave its decision.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Kerr.)
A BROTHER SUING A BROTHER-DAMM V. DAMM.
This was a plaint to recover a small sum, Mr. Buchanan
appearing for the plaintiff.

It appeared that the parties were brothers, plaintiff being
the elder. The claim was for 17s. 6d. collected, as alleged,
by defendant after he had left plaintiff's service; and £2 for
a coat.

In giving a verdict his Honour said—These persons are
brothers ?

Mr. Buchanan—Yes.
His Honour—Breather and brother—nice brothers.
Mr. Buchanan—When brothers fall out they do very
strange things.

PRUSSIA.

Advices from Berlin state that several elec.
toral meetings have been held within the last
few days in that city,' and that, from what
took place, it is certain that, vith the excep-
tion of M. Kulme. of the Constitutional party,
whose re•eleetion is doubtful, the other
members for Berlin to the Second Chamber will be
again chosen by a large majority.
Letters from Berlin mention a combina-
tion, by which Count Schwerin and M.
d'Auerswald would return to office ; it is
expected in that way to rally the greater part
of the moderate Liberals. It seems to he ad-
mitted that the Queen of Prussia has written
to the Countess Schwerin, inviting he r to
request her husband, who is now travelling in Italy,
to shorten his absence as much as possible.

BOURSE, April 15.—The market has maintained
all the buoyancy which sprung up prior to the close
of business yesterday, and prices have further ad-
vanced. Threes, for the Account, opened at 70f 45c,
and are now firm at 70f 65c, with a rather large
amount of business doing. The Railway Share
Market has been less animated than the Rente, and
in many instances prices are rather lower. The

DECAY OF THE OTTOMAN POPULA-
TION.—A MORAL LESSON.—Some time since an
article in the Times, on the decay of the Mussulman popu-
lation in Asia Minor, attracted much attention, both amongst
politicians and physiologists. Referring to the visible and
portentous fact, the writer did not hesitate to ascribe it
mainly to one peculiar and vitiating influence, which is more
destructive of happiness health, and life than any other in-
dividual cause that could be named.
The truth and soundness of the writer's views were ad-
mitted. It would be moat salutary if we could gather from
his reasonings and demonstrations instruction applicable to
our own social condition. Is it not a fact that in innumerable
instances,
matrimonial disappointment and misery, unwilling
celibacy, physical and mental anguish, the existence of which
is known only to the sufferer himself , have their source in
germ of which is
causes the often planted in early life, and
tne bitter fruit tasted long afterwards.
Dr. LAWERT. m.D., &c., is the only qualified practitioner
on the Medical Ilegister, and has been engaged for 20 years
in the treatment of these unhappy ease,,
which, through the
disappointment of jest expectations, seriously compromise
family objects and prospects, and prevent the accomplish-
ment of designs on which important interests depend. Ills

these subjects, and may be had from the Author, or from

ON TRUE and. FALSE SPERDJATORRHQEA;
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De-
bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis.
Translated from the 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 he 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
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
prses. The difference between true Spermatorrheea and the
various forms of disease which resemole it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.
" We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary charter, that we have Goarcely 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."—

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

(Before the Lord Chief Justice, and Justices Blackburn,

FARROW V, LUSH.

Mr. M. Smith, Q C., moved a rule calling upon the plain-
tiff to show cause why there should not be a new trial in
this case, in which a verdict had been given for the plaintiff.
The Lord Chief Justice granted the application.
EMSWORTH V. SMITH.

Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., said this case ;;as tried at Guild-
hall before Mr Justice Blackburn, in which a verdict was
returned for the defendant. It was an action to recover
some money which had been paid for some pictures; the
jary after a great deal of trouble returned a verdict for the
defendant, and he now moved for a new trial on the
ground that it was against the evidence, and also that
there had been some nisunderstanding of the summing
up of the evidence by tte learned judge. The question
to be decided was whether a person named Sydney, who had
acted for both parties, and had been paid by Smith, could
be looked upon as having received that money. for Ems-
worth. At the time the rerdict was given it was under-
stood that an application saould be made to stay execution,
but that circumstance was not to be looked upon as any
expression of opinion on the part of the learned judge.
There had been some dealing between the parties with re-
spect to certain pictures, which were supposed to be origi-
nals, but ascertained to be merely copies.

Mr. Justice Blackburn said there had been, if he recol-
lected rightly, a great deal of hesitation on the part of the
ury before they arrived at a verdict.
The Court granted a rule to show cause.

COURT OF ARCHES.
(Before Dr. Lushington.)

THE OFFICE OF JUDGE PROMOTED BY THE BISHOP OF
ST. DAVID'S AGAINST THE BARON DE RUTZEN.

The proceedings in this case were taken against the Baron
de Rutzen, the patron of a living in Wales. The gentle-
man had some years ago caused the parish church to be
pulled down, uton the promise that a new one was to be
erected. This promise had never been carried out, although
a church had been built in an adjoining parish. The Court
decided that the Baron should erect a church in his own
parish, and the costs against him were taxed at £328. He
appealed from the decision, but the case was remitted back
to the Court of Arches. The Baron had not appeared to it,
and Dr. Twiss made an application accordingly,
Dr. Lushington said, as the Baron had not appeared to
the order of the Court, and when Dr. Twiss had thought a
reasonable time had elapsed, he might move to have the
Baron declared in contempt. He would, however, decline
to mention any exact time,

nals, but ascertained to be merely copies.

Mr. Justice Blackburn said there had been, if he recol-
lected rightly, a great deal of hesitation on the part of the
jury before they arrived at a verdict.
The Court granted a rule to show cause.

THE A.RMY.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge,
accompanied by Sir Richard Airey, Quartermaster-
General, and Colonel Clifton, Aide-de-Camp, ar-
rived at Portsmouth from London by evening train
on Monday. Yesterday morning his Royal High-
ness, accompanied by the above officers, Sir George
Grey and Sir George Cornewall Lewis (who had
also arrived from London), Lord William Paulo,
C. 8., Commanding the Sonth-West District, and
Rear-Admiral Superintendent the Hon. George
Grey, embarked on board the Fire Queen steam-
tender, Master-Commander Paul, and proceeded
out of harbour to inspect the site of the proposed
forts on the Horse, Nopaan, and Sturbridge Shoals.
On the return of the Fire Queen to the harbour his
Royal Highness and party landed at the dockyard,
and visited the Royal Sovereign three-decker, con-
verting to a 12-gun shield-ship on Capt. Coles's
principle, several of the ships in dock, the police
station, and the steam basin, where the Psyche new
Admiralty steam yacht is lying. In the afternoon
his Royal Highness visited the fortifications on the
east side of the harbour.

► IA meeting of the sergeants of the Portsmouth
Division of the Royal Marine Light Infantry was
held in their mess-room, at Foston Barracks, on
Monday evening, for the purpose of having pre-
sented to them a richly chased centre-piece, the gift
of Major-Gen. A. Anderson, late commandant of
the division, as a testimonial for their soldier-like
conduct during his command.

The inspection of the battalions of infantry was
resumed at Chatham garrison yesterday by Major-
Gen. A. J. Lawrence, C. 8., Inspector-General of
Infantry. The companies were marched to the
Lines where the depots composing the battalion,
which includes those of the Ist and 2d Battalions of
the 12th Regiment, Ist and 2d Battalions of the
20th Regiment, 31st Regiment, 52d Light Infan-
try, and 83d Regiment, were put through a variety
of movements under the command of Colonel
R. N. Phillips. Major-Gen. Lawrence occasion-
ally selected officers from the different companies to
drill the battalion. They performed the different
manoeuvres in a very satisfactory manner.
At Halifax arrangements were being made for
the permanent accommodation of 5,000 troops.
The old hospital accommodation at Halifax is very
defective, means were being taken for the erection
of a building in a more suitable position. The pre-
sent garrison hospital was formerly the residence
of his Royal Highness the Duke of Kent. The
regiments at present in Halifax are the 2d bat-
talions of the 16th and 17th Regiments. Both are
stated to have become much improved in physique
since they have been stationed in Nova Scotia. The
health of the troops was generally good, although a
good deal of sickness had restated from the abund-
ance of cheap liquors.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Very small supplies of English wheat were received
fresh up to this morning's market, and the trade both for
rr d and white parcels ruled firm, at full quotations.
The show of foreign wheat was moderately good. In
most descriptions sales progressed steadily, and prices were
well stir ported.

Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request, and the
currencies ruled firm,

Good and fine qus lities of barley were in request, at ex-
treme rates, but inferior samples met a dull inquiry, at about
former terms.

Fine malt moved off steadily, at full prices; but other
kinds were a slow sale, at late rates.
Oats of good and fine quality were fully as dear as on
Monday ; inferior parcels, however, were somewhat ne-
glected, though without change in value.
Beans and peas—the supplies of which were small—ruled
firm, at full quotations.
The flour trade was steady, and prices were well main-
tained.

CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT AGAINST A CLERK.
—A week ago Henry Cotterill, a clerk in the service of
Messrs. Coulson and Co., wholesale ironmongers, of Bir-
mingham and other places, was charged before the Birming-
hamto
magistrates with embezzling money belonging h
employers, and remanded for a week. On being brought up
r
on Monday he was discharged, the prosecutor s
stating that an examination had been made of eu tt
accounts, which were so complicated that it would

difli-
cult to proceed with the charge.

of time, and expense of pal appeal had to be incurred in
every one of them. There were also numerous appeals in
this district against assessments made by the parochial
assessors and additional commissioners, and against assess-
ments made upon the appellants' own returns.

PRICE OF GOLD.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per millepm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.274 per £1 sterling.
On cninparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
about 3-I(,ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4264 per mark,
and the short exchange on London is 13.6 per £1 sterling.
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
4-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
-60 days' sight is 111 to 112 per cent., and the premium on gold
about 14 per cent. At these rates there is a profit on the im-
portation of gold from the United States.

ST THOMAS'S HOSPlTAL.—Yesterday afternoon,
at a very numerous and influential meeting of the governors
of this great metropolitan hospital, convened for the express
-purpose, and held in the Court-room of the building, the
projected removal of the hospital underwent anxious delibe-
ration. Sir John Musgrove, the president, acted as chair-
man, and there was far on to 100 of the governing body
present. A report was presented by the Secret Committee,
:so called, who had been appointed with power to choose a
site for a new hospital, and to negotiate for the purchase of
and. It stated, in substance, that offers had been made of
nearly 50 sites; that the committee he'd examined many of
them, and that those which appeared most eligible were
the Surrey-gardens, two at Camberwell, one at Walworth,
and one at Lewisham. It should be stated that at a pre-
vious meeting of the governors it was decided that the hos-
if rebuilt, should be on the south side of the Thames.
Mr. Baggally, the treasurer, moved the adoption of the re-
port, and that it be referred back to the committee to pur-
sue their inquiries and negotiations as to site : reporting
again to the Court. To this an amendment was proposed
by Alderman Humphery, to the effect that negotiations be
Opened with the railway company with the view to re-
Purchasing the greater part of the present site. It was
urged, however, that a much larger space was required for
such an hospL al than the three acres of ground to which
the arrangements of the railway company would confine it,
and that the medical officers were unanimously of opinion
that the necessary quiet of the institution would be mate-
rially impaired by its immediate proximity to a great line of
railway. On a division, after a long debate, the amend-
ment was negatived by a considerable majority, the report
by the committee was adopted : and so the matter remains
for the present.

FRANCE.

A Paris letter in the Nord of Brussels says :
" The first troops sent to Mexico will be taken from
Algeria, as has been mentioned, as they are already
inured to a hot climate. They will be directed, in
the first instance, to Martinique and Havana,
whence they will proceed to Vera Cruz, and be
placed under the orders of the commandant of.that
town, M. Roze. The authorities have adopted the
excellent idea of arming and organising, under the
orders of French naval officers, 500 negroes (a race
that never suffers from the yellow fever), to be
employed for the police of Vera Cruz. That
measure, however, is not new, as 400 had already
been similarly employed with great success."

THE INCOME-TAX.
Mr. DOULI ON asked the Chancellor of the Exche .
quer whether the Commissioners of Income-tax had autho-
rity, in cases of appeal based Upon a three years' ;statement
of profits, to dismiss the appeal without investi-
gating such statement ; and, whether, in the event
of such dismissal (the assessment being under
£l5O per annum), the appellant has any remedy by
application to the Commissioners of Inland Revenue, the
Treasury, or other person or body ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that
parties liable to the income tax were bound according to
law to make a correct return of their income on an average
based upon three years' profits, The commissioners were
