REVIEWS OF THE WORK.
"CURTIS ON MANHOOD. -This is truly a valuable work,
and should be in the hands of young; and old. The profes-
sional reputation of the author, combined with his extensive
experience as medical referee in the treatment of nervous de-
bility, t• c., fully accounts for the immense circulation which
this popular and ably-written medical treatise has obtained."
—Sunday Times, March 2', 1856.
"Dr. Curtis has conferred a great boon by publishing this
little work, in which is described the source o' those diseases
which produ-e decline in youth, or more frequently prema-
ture old age."—Daily Telegraph, March 27, 1856.
The Author of this Medical Treatise may be DAILY con-
sulted as usual, either by letter or personally, at his residence

CONVICT DISCIPLINE.

Tne following memorial has been forwarded to
Sir George Grey by the Bristol Association for
obtaining an alteration in convict discipline
To the Right Honourable Sir George Grey, Bart., her Ma
jesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Home De-
partment.

The respectful memorial of the association formed in Bris-
tol for promoting an improved administration of convict
discipline in England.

We have observed with the greatest concern the condi-
tion of discharged convicts in this country, very many of
whom are found to return to crime, without the slightest
good effect to themselves from their punishment.
We believe that means, much better than those at present
employed, might be used to prepare for freedom the 1,600
or 2,000 convicts annually discharged, and to afford such a
test of the preparation as might be satisfactory to the em-
ployers of labour, and not leave the discharged criminals to
crime as their only means of living.
We find that as to those who are discharged on condi-
tional license or ticket of leave, the conditions indorsed on
the license are not enforced, nor aro any sufficient means
taken to ascertain their fulfilment.

Experience shows that it is possible to provide a system
of treatment during imprisonment, an immediate prepara-
tion for discharge, and a wholesome supervision during the
remainder of the sentence, which might prevent the pre-
sent frightful condition and practices of the convicts,
qualify them, in a considerable proportion of the cases, to
be taken again into society, and furnish to the employers of
labour the necessary test of &nes..
We think that Ireland (under the operation A the same
statutes as England) and other countries have furnished
such experience. Discharged convicts are shown to be not
necessarily a nuisance and terror to their neighbourhood,
but they may gain a position as honest and industrious
workmen.
We most earnestly entreat that means may bo taken for
greatly altering and improv ng the present discipline of con-
victs in England by a very different and a better adminis-
tration of the law ; and that every convict now on ticket-
of-leave, who can be ascertained to have infringed the terms
of his license, may be returned to prison ; and that as to
those who may for the future be at liberty on license (which,
according to the regulations, will now embrace every con-
vict reported to be well conducted), the conditions of the
license may be enforced with proper supervision.
Signed by the President, Chairman, Vice-Chairman, and
Committee, on behalf of the Assobiation.

Gloucestershire and Bristol ; Chairman, M. D. Hill, Esq.,

IA) in the immediate vicinity of the Great Northern Rail-
way Terminus, at King's-cross.
Patron—The QUEEN.
President—The Duke of BUCCLEUCH, K.G.
Treasurer—Edward Masterman, Esq.

This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free
and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for-
mality of governors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti-
tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom-
panied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient
magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered
capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of
the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the
funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of
these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover,
it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more,
on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week.
The Weekly Board feel it their imperative duty to make an
EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support,
to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that
daily present themselves..
Contributions are received by the Treasurer, Edward
Mas' erman, Esq., Nicholas-lane; also by Messrs. Coutts and

A WORD ON WOMAN'S INSTINCT.--Women are
best in making short, common-sense cuts. They don't
reason— pardon me, I am not rude. They do not find t
necessary to set that machinery of judgment in operation of
which man is so vain. They have a way of their own—an
instinct peculiar to their sex—a gift which elevates them.
Within certain limits and on certain subjects they pounce
with unerring aim upon a truth. They can't give reasons
for their conclusions. They are, at least, very silly if they
try to do so, and not improbably disturb the successful im-
pression of their impromptu sentence. If they are wise
they give no reasons but an answer; and, if sudden, it is
probably right. They have a power of discernment in
many things not possessed by man. With them it is no
guess, but a common instinctive perception. To most men
it is a mysterious faculty, and redeems the short cuts of
common life from the general charge of foolhardiness or
chance.—Once a Week.

SOUTHWARK.

ATTEMPTED SUlClDE.—Elizabeth Hancock, a young
woman, aged 19, who described herself as a servant, out of
place, was charged with attempting self-destruction.
Police constable 59 L said he was on duty last night, and
about 10 o'clock he was called into the house No. 9, Stone-
place, Broadway, where he was informed that the prisoner
had swallowed some poison. She was very sick, and on
searching the room be found a phial containing some spirits
of camphor, a portion of which the prisoner had taken, being
under the impression that it was poison. He conveyed her
immediately to Guy's Hospital, and was told there that
there was no danger, the contents of the bottle not being
poisonous.

The prisoner, who was very much affected, and cried
bitterly, said, in reply to the magistrate, that h•r
mother-in-law and her brother ill-treated her, and she was
driven to desperation by their conduct. She added that they
were in the habit of knocking her about, and that her life
was miserable.

A sister of the prisoner said she was a servant in place at
Battersea, and was aware that her sister was living with
her family, but she could not speak as to their treatment of
her.

Police-constable 591, said prisoner had 3 mark on her
person where she stated her brother had struck her wan a
broomstick.

The magistrate, having pointed out the awful nature of
the crime which she had intended to commit, said that if
she was ill-treated by her family she could obtain a sum-
mons against them, and she was then discharged.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

The supply of beasts on sale here to-day being on the
increase, the demand for all breeds ruled very inactive, at
a decline in the quotations of 2d per 81bs. The top price
was 4s 6d per 81bs. Amongst the stock were 100 Spanish
beasts via Liverpool. We were rather scantily supplied
with sheep. Prime breeds moved off at full currencies.
Otherwise, the mutton trade was in a sluggish state at
barely stationary prices. Downs and half-breds sold at
5s 4d to 5s 6d per 81bs. Calves— the supply of which was
moderate--moved off heavily at 2d per 81bs. less money.
The quotations ranged from 3s 10d to 5s per 81bs. Pigs
were in fair request on former terms; but mulch cows were
very dull.

(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 soft 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 toe closest
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 are guaranteed tt last a life
time, as well as for mastication and articulation. Mr.

PROSPECTII§.

The progress made during the last ten years by the Bri-
tish Colonies in South. Africa has been very remarkable;
the impo. •q. exports, and public revenues having, during
that perioo, multiplied threefold, and from public returns
just to hand, it is estimated that a yet higher progressive
increase will be sh?wn in the present year.

—The banking capital of the colonies has not kept pace with
this increase of trade, and it has become clear that a new
banking institution of considerable magnitude, and with
adequate 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
Africa is established.
That the proposed field of operations is both safe and
profitable is shown by the fact that, although in the South
African Colonies 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.

British Kafirarian Bank
Every description of legitimate banking business will be
undertaken by the Standard Bank, and it can be stated that
valuable mercantile accounts have already been promised.
Powers are taken for the incorporation of existing banks in
the colonies.

The principle of limited liability uniformly followed in the
recently established banking companies has been adopted.
Of the 5,000 shares comprised in the first issue, a large
number has already been subscribed for.

The head office of the bank will be in London,

Satisfactory arrangements are in progress, which will faci-
litate a speedy commencement of business.
Shareholders desirous of paying up the full £25 per share
will receive, on so much thereof as maybe in advance of calls,
interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum.
The preliminary expen.,es of the Bank will be strictly con-
fined to matters of actual outlay.
Copies of the Memorandum and Articles of Association
may be seen at the Temporary Offices of the Company, and
at the office of the Solicitors.

GPOWTH OF THE GRAPE IN ENGLAND.

The well-known plant, the vitas via:fierce of the
botanist, has, during the whole historic period of
the world, occupied in many parts of the earth a
large share of man's attention. Its origin can be
pretty clearly traced to Asia, though it is now said
to be growing wild in many parts of the south of
Europe ; and what are supposed to be indigenous
species or varieties are found in America. It was
probably first introduced into Europeby the Romans
soon atter the foundation of Rome. What may be
termed a temperate climate is that best suited to its
cultivation. The soil it delights most in is a celeare-
ous loom on a dry subsoil. The varieties of grape
vines may be said to be endless. The French Go-
vernment upon one occasion made a collection of
1,480 varieties in a nursery at the Luxembourg,
and this was supposed to be only a moiety of those
in cultivation in France alone. It is, however, no
part of iny present object to refer further to the
growth of the vine upon the Continent, and I shall
therefore confine myself to that aspect of it which
concerns our own country ; and though there is
good evidence that the Romans introduced vine-
yards into Britain, and made considerable quantities
of wine from. ths m, I shall pass over the out-door
culture of the plant, merely remarking that in these
daysof cheap glass it is amost unsatisfactoryinvest
ment of both time and skill to attempt its culture
except under glass. The earliest record with which
I am acquainted of the application of artificial beat
to the cultivation of the vine is in " Lawrence's
Fruit Calendar, 1718, where it is stated that at
Belvoir Castle, the seat of the Duke of Rutland,
fires were kept up from Lady-day to Michaelmas
behind sloping walis, on the south fronts of which
vines were trained. We next read of SpeechlY' _an
eminent horticulturist in his day, having arecteda
vinery, something like our present lean-to houses,
at IValbsck, the seat of the Duke of Portland, where
he planted seventy varieties of the vi
many of them to great perfection, producing and grew
there
perhaps the largest bunch of grapes that were ever
grown in Britain. This famous bunch was of the
variety known as the Syrian, and weighed 191 lbs.
