THE SUN.
LOND"'' SATURDAY, MAY 17, 1862.

Fresh American surprises! We confess we had
far less idea that Yorktown would be evacuated so
soon, than that New Orleans captured.
might be
Besides the descriptions given us of the present
works, the memory of Lord CORNWALLIS'S defence
to the last against overwhelming odds by land and
by soa, impressed on us the opinion that theposition
must be a very strong one. Indeed it is but to
glance at a map, sufficiently large, to see that it
must be so. We will not, however, repeat our
descriptions. This strong position which threatened
to present to M'CLELLAN himself such difficulties
as he had witnessed before the Allies at Sebas-
topol, has been surrendered as the Southern half
of that city was, when the Malakoff had fallen.
The Confederate GORTSCHAROFFS will also speak
of the retreat, perhaps as a great success,
and so it was in the important sense that
it was accomplished without the enemy's know-
ledge, and was therefore undisturbed by him. This,
however, necessitated the leaving behind a large
number of guns, and much military equipage.
The reasons for the evacuation we can of course
only conjecture. The Confederates may have good
grounds, indeed, for concealing the true ones. The
most direct cause would seem to be that the arrival
of several iron-plated gunboats from the North had
compelled the Merrimac to keep at Norfolk, and
that, delivered from the fear of her, the other Con-
federate gunboats were able to ascend the two
rivers, and to co-operate irresistibly with the forces
on land. Besides the presence of three Federal
armies in Northern Virginia, all more or less
threatening Richmond, and perhaps able to take
the Yorktown Confederate army in the rear,
malt have had its weight. The Confederate

THE T&BKISII BATH.

Dr, Barter, who has laboured so long and so
successfully in Ireland in bringing the Turkish
Bath into general use, both as a curative agent and
a positive luxury, opens his splendid establishment
in Victoria-street, Westminster, to the public on
the 19th instant. The building is, of its kind,
without parallel in the metropolis, and everything
that the most lavish expenditure, combined with
good taste, could effect has been done to provide for
the comfort of those patronising the new establish-
ment. Dr. Barter has brought the whole of his
accumulated experience to bear on the present
undertaking, and the attendants ho has engaged
are selected from the numerous baths that have
been established by the Doctor in all the principal
towns in Ireland. Some idea of the extent of the
establishment may be formed from the fact that
between 500 and 600 baths can be given in a single
day. During the present week the baths have been
opened to a select company, and the general opinion
of those who have availed themselves of the polite
invitation of the Oriental Bath Company has been
that of unqualified praise. In order that the pub-
lic generally may avail themselves of the luxury,
the price of admission has been fixed at a very
moderate sum, and this, coupled with the admirable
manner in which the bathers are attended to, will

be sufficient to insure the most extensive patronage.
The Doctor proposes to erect four or five similar
establishments in other parts of the metropolis.

AN IMPORTANT DISCUSSION.—The

have been lately canvassing the social considerations in-
volved in " the amount of death and disease caused by vice."
Some interesting statistics are brought to bear upon the
inquiry ; but it would greatly add to their value if they in-
cluded the facts respecting the origin, the ravages, and the
prevention of that SPECIAL VICE, which wars more than any

C4ItEAT NORTHERN.

The adjourned special meeting of this company
was held yesterday at the King's-cross station, to
consider certain Bills now before Parliament, in
compliance with the standing orders of the House
of Lords, Mr. E. Denison in the chair.
On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, two Bills were
approved—namely, a Bill for the incorporation of a
company to construct a railway from Bourn to
Spalding, authorising agreements with the Great
Northern Company as to the working of traffic on
the proposed line, and for the division and appor-
tionment of the receipts arising therefrom; and alio
a bill for making a railway from the Great Northern
Railway at Hatfield to the London and North•
Western Railway at St. Alban's, for enabling the
traffic of the two companies to be exchanged at the
latter place, and authorising the Great Northern to
subscribe £20,000, and to appoint two directors.
The meeting was then adjourned to the 10th of
Stine for the consideration of other bills.

PRI( 7.E OP GOLD.

---
The quotation of gold ai "; Paris is about per cent. premium,
and the short exchange c ,n London is 25.25 per £1 sterling.
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. 104 d. per ounce for stand and gold, it appears that gold is
about 3-10ths per cent. deare r in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburg Idle price of gold is ,P 64 per mark,
and the short exchange on London is 13.6% per £1 sterling.
Standard gold at the Engin ,h Mint price is, therefore, about
2-10ths per cent. deare T in L ondon than in Hamburg.
•The course of exchan Ete at N yew York on London for bills at
60 days'
sight Is 114 to 114% por cent., and the premium on
gold is 3% per er cent. At the above rates there is a profit on the
po rtation of gold fro' n the United States.

MARKETS-THIS DAY.

MARK-LANE.
Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of Eng-
lish wheat were very moderate, yet the trade was in a slug-
gish state, at barely Monday's currencies.
The show of foreign wheat was somewhat extensive, and
all descriptions moved off heavily, at drooping prices.
Floating cargoes of grain changed hands to a moderate
extent, on former terms.

The trade for barley was very dull, and the quotations
ruled the turn in favour of buyers.
Malt sold heavily, at about previous quotations.
Fine oats were firm in price, but the demand for inferior
parcels ruled inactive, yet Monday's rates were maintained.
Beans and peas were a dull inquiry, at drooping cur-
rencies.
The flour trade was dull, yet no further change took
place in prices.

HIGHWAYS BILL.

Sir G. GREY said he thought it right to state that as
supply would come on to-morrow evening, and would in
all probability occupy the house till late, he would not
procaed with the bill until Monday evening next. On that
evening the Scotch Education Bill would be the first order
of the day, and he proposed to place the Highways Bill
second on the list. If, however, the first order of the day
lasted any considerable time he would not press the High-
ways Bill that evening.

Mr. W. MARTIN, in moving the order of the day, for
the second reading of this bill, said the object of the mea-
sure was to modify what was known as the " Tippling let"
passed in the reign of George 11. When that act was
passed tippling was carried on to an extent of which in the
present age they had no idea. Gin was then sold at the
corner of every street, and the object of the framers of the
bill was to prevent scores being ran up against half-
drunken men on the backs of doors of publichouses.
The bill proved effectual, and he did not wish
that debts should be recovered for spirits drank on the
premises. His only object was to prevent the existing law
from being perverted to an extent that was never proposed
by those who patronised that measure. Having read the
preamble of the Tippling Act, which set forth the object
for, which it was framed, he said he intended by the present
bill to enable wine merchants to recover for two
gallons of spirits supplied at the house of a cus-
tomer. He quoted some cases, the particulars of which
had been furnished him by correspondents on whose infor-
mation he could rely. and which shoe ed that people in the
most respectable station of society were not ashamed to
plead the Tippling Act to defraud those whom they were
honourably bound to pay because their demands were just.
He said that his bill was framed in accordance with the re-
presentations of some of the most respectable persons, ana
the sole object was not to promote intoxication, but to pre-
vent a class of honest tradesmen being cheated. (Hear.)
Mr. AYRTON moved, as an amendment, that the bill
should be read a second time this day three months. He
founded his opposition to the bill on the ground that no
necessity existed for its_ introduct'on. The bill proposed
only to deal with gin.' Now gin was an innovation, and
came into this country after the Dutch Rev lution, being,
he believed, the only drawback to that political event. He
read the statements of some of the authorities of the City
who presented a petition to the house in the reign of George
11., which led to the passing of the act which it was
now sought by this bill to repeal.

After a short discussion,
The House divided, when the numbers were—

The bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be
committed on the'lBth of June.

with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De-

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 be the
last, if he shall detect any other squally fiagEant 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 ml their own
purses. The difference between true Spermatorrlura and the
various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a sate guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.

MARK-LANE.

Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of Eng-
lish wheat were very moderate, yet the traLle was in a slug-
t;ish state, at barely Monday's currencies.
The show of foreign wheat was somewhat , extensive, and
all Gascriptions moved off heavily, at drooping' prices.
Floating cargoes of grain changed hands to, a moderate
extent, on forro.er terms.
The trade for barley was very dull, and the quotations
riled the turn in favour of buyers.
Malt sold heavily, at about, p vioue alutotokio
ac
Fine oats were firm in price, but the demand for inferior
parcels ruled inactive, yet Monday's rates were maim.' aimed.
Beans and peas were a dull inquiry, at drooping cur-
rencies. _

The flour trade was dull, yet no further change took
place in prices.

CAPE TOWN.

It is proposed to extend this company's authorised
line from its terminus at Wellington to Worcester
and Tulibagh. The capital required for the con-
struction of the extension line is estimated at
£600,000; and on a guarantee being obtained from
the Colonial Government upon the requisite capital
it is intended to add the nominal amount of it to
the existing capital of the company, but at same
time to keep the capital for the extension and its
receipts and expenditure separate and distinct from
those of the original line.

FHE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSSMITH'S
" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex-
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in busi-
ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive.
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully

onour, we ought to say, to the National
Reform Delegates. When the Athenian generals
were unlucky, that fickle people were ever ready
to put them to death, by way, as the great French
wit said, of encouraging the others. The Romans
took the opposite course, and after a tremendous
defeat would thank their generals for not despair-
ing of the safety of the Republic, The latter is
altogether more English, and we think our Parlia-
mentary Reform Generals are every way entitled
to the benefit of it. We shall certainly not laugh
at [the gathering of delegates yesterday and this
morning. They will be treated to that sort of thing
abundantly by all who are but too happy to think
Parliamentary Reform a vanquished cause. We
do not think so. It is a betrayed cause. It is a
cause kept out of sight by an artful exaltation of
foreign politics' to the place domestic politics
ought to occupy, and by the fearfully costly
expedient of filling the imaginations of the
people with schemes for defence against friends and
allies—but it is not a beaten cause. While the in•
tolerable wrongs and inequalities which make our
representation little better than a solemn farce re-
main, Parliamentary Reform may, through political
accidents and political cunning, be little heard of
for a year or two ; but its voice must be heard again,
and heard at last effectually too.
We need not repeat the well-hnown facts enume-
rated by the chairman—such as the majority of the
house being returned by 170,000 voters—the THET-
P:heitl:ster or Leeds—the ARUNDELS, equally

THE REFORM CONFERENCE.—Thee delegates re•
assembled this morning. They were occupied the whole of
the early part of the day in discussing a resolution which
set out manhood suffrage as the basis of the new Reform
Bill.
THE RETROGRADE KlNG.—Blucher's motto and
policy through life was " Forwards." The motto that the
present King of Prussia should adopt, for it is most de-
cidedly his policy, ought to be " Backwards." " Der
Konig Rudwarts" would form a good historical pendant to
" Der Marischal For warts."—Pntah.
SUICIDE BY LAUDANUM.—Yesterday an inquiry
was held at the Bell Tavern, Dean-street, St. George's-in-
the-East, by Mr. John Humphreys, the Middlesex coroner,
teuching the death of Mr. John Noller, aged 54, a builder,
who committed suicide by swallowing over half a pint of
laudanum. The jury returned a verdict of " Suicide while
in a state of unsound mind."
It
PROPOTED OPENING OF SOUTHWARK DGE
TO THE PUBLIC FREE.—Yesterday
Mr. Murrelll3, one of
the members of the Court of Common Council placed upon
the Corporation paper of business, for consideration at an
early Court, the following important notice of motion :
"That it be referred to a ward committee to asecrtion if any
arrangement can be made so that Southwark Bridge may
be free to the public ; and that the committee be empowered
to confer with the Metropolitan Board of Works should
such a course appear advisable."
FATAL ACCIDENT AT WATERLOO BRIDGE.—Last
evening between the hours of six and seven o'clock a
melancholy and fatal accident occurred upon the steps of
Waterloo-bridge to a buy about eight years of age, name
unknown, but who resided in Shand-buildings, Angel-
court, Strand. The boy, who was playing with several
others, made a leap from one step to another, and upon
alighting was thrown from his feet by a wave, which washed
up at the time, and being carried out by the strength of the
current hie body sank. Although several boats immediately
put out and the drags were applied the body was not
recovered,

OYAL FREE HOSPITAL, Gray's-inn-road.
The numerous and urgent appeals which are made for
admission by the homeless and destitute sick render it im-
perative on the Committee to entreat the continued bounty
of the affluent and humane to enable them to persevere in the
extensive system of relief afforded by this Hospital.
During the past year, in addition to 1,190 in-patients, no
less than 50,409 out-patients received the benefits of this
Charity. Since Christmas two additional wards have been
opened for the reception of in-door patients.
Contributions are received by the Treasurer, Edward Mas-
Lerman, Esq., Nicholas-lane ; and at the Hospital.

JOZEAU'S COPAHINE MEGE.—Copaiba and
Cubebs are doubtless the best remedies, but are of a re-
pulsive taste and odour, and occasion collicky pains, nausea,
and gastric disturbance. M. Jozeau has succeeded in render-
ing them perfectly innocuous by increasing all their curative
properties. It has been adopted by the Paris Academy of
Medicine after more than a thousand trials in Paris and the
different London hospitals. viz., St. Thomas's, Guy's. and
St. Bartholomew's, under the care of Messrs. Lloyd, Poland,
and Legros Clark.—(Lancet, Nov. 6, 1857). The Copahine,
which is in form of a pretty pink sugar plum, effects a cure in

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

On Saturday g
Signor Verdi's "Rigoletto"
w as
performed evening
fore theni
first time. This opera has
always been a favourite piece at this theatre, chiefly
on account of the excellence of the performance of
Mario, as the Duke. For this character Verdi
has imagined some of his voluptuous melodies,
and Mario warbles them as no one has ever
warbled them before. His rich mellow voice,
which he never mars by overstraining it, has a
charm which the most powerful tenors of the
day, with all their efforts, are unable to reach.
Madame Miolan-Carvalho sang the music of Gilda
elegantly and brilliantly, and Madame Nantier-
Didiee was again Maddalena. Signor Tagliafico,
as Sparafucile, likewise honourably sustained his
reputation. Signor Della Sedie, who pErsonated
Rigoletto for the first time on the London stage,
had the disadvantage of coming after Signor Ron-
coni in one of that eminent artist's very greatest
parts. Signor Delle Sedie sang much of the music
tastefully, and with appropriate expression, but his
entire performance wanted force and colour.
