THE REVISED CODE OF EDUCATION.
The Bishop of WINCHESTER presented petitions
against the revised code of education.
PRIVATE BUSINESS.

On the motion of the Earl of COLCEIESTER, the following
bills were read a second time .—Caterham Water Works,
Ceylon Railway Company, Great Britain Mutual Life As-
surance, Leeds Water, Deaf and Dumb Poor Asylum, Dun-
dalk and Enniskillen Railway, and Webb and Cray's
Patent.
London, England, 1862-02-26

Was of very obscure origin. Ney, Prince de Moskowa, rose
from a similar beginning. Oudinot, uc de Reggio, was
the son of a tradesman at Bar; Perignon, of a citizen of
Grenada ; Soult, Duc de Dalmatie, of a peasant of Saint
Armand ; Suchet, Due d'Albugera' of a manufacturer of
Lyons; Victor Perrin, Duc de Be llvue, was a shopboy.
All these distinguished officers carried the soldiers' giberne,
and in it, we might add the theoretical baton de marechal
which has led so many soldiers on to honour and glory.
Many interesting incidents are recorded, and the
author's evident familiarity with French military
life gives ease and vitality to his sketches. If he
had only let English deficiencies alone and re-
stricted -himself to the description of French
merits his works would have been still more attrac-
tive 'without being less valuable. As it is, how-
ever, the military reader will study with interest
the particulars of the French system, while the
total absence of any professional language or
technical details will enable the general public to
find in its pages a considerable amount of entertain-
ment.
London, England, 1862-02-26

REGISTER OF ELECTORS.

Mr. L. KING moved for leave to briag in a bill to pro-
vide for an alphabetical index to be attached to each regis-
ter of electors throughout the kingdom, similar to the
mark which was now attached to every book of reference.
Tho measure, he said, would not be costly, and would be
a great convenience.
Leave given.
PROSECUTIONS EXPENSES.

Sir G. GREY obtained leave to bring in a bill for the
amendment of the acts relating to the payment of the ex-
penses of prosecutions. The bill was founded on the report
of the commission of 1858, which recommended that magis-
trates should have a power over the expenses of witnesses,
except such portions as were defrayed by the Treasury.
Mr. A. TURNER and Lord HOTHAM severally expressed
their approval of the bill.

ther in the Formosa Channel, on the evening of the

oN TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORMICEA;
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 infbrms 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 oqually 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
purses. 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.

" We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary 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."—

MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL.

Compared with return of 31st December, the assets and
liabilities of the bank for week ending 15th inst., exhibit the
following changes, viz. :—A decrease in current accounts of
23,77,578r5. ; an increase in circulation of 35,46,791r5. ; an
increase in loans of 5,68,100r5. ; an increase in the bills of
9,58,791r5.; an increase in investments of 4,27,942r5. ; a
decrease in cash of 11,89,489r5.
During the fortnight, as indicated by the above return,
it will be observed that money has been in better demand.
Continued shipments of specie to the rice ports and large
payments on account of opium purchases, are the chief
cause which have led to the efflux of silver and to an in-
crease in the amount of advances.

The Bank's rates remain unaltered, but in the Bazaar
money is tighter, and the shroofs have advanced their lend-
ing rates to 7 per cent. and upwards.
In Bombay and Madras the money market continues
easy, and the Bank's rates are unchanged.
Business generally throughout the fortnight has been ex-
tremely quiet. At a season of the year when a brisk de-
mand for Manchester and Glasgow goods and fancy fabrics
is generally experienced there have been hardly any sales.
Metals of all kinds are lower and neglected. Imported
salt has given way 6 rs. per 100 maunds, and the stock on
hand is heavy. In exports a considerable business has
been done, especially in rice, jute, and seeds.: Indigo and
saltpetre are quieter, and sugar in less demand.
Freights keep very steady, and rule about 25 per cent,
higher than they did a few weeks ago.

WAKEFIELD ELECTION.—On Saturday a meet-
ing of non-electors was held in the Music Saloon. Mr. B.
Preston occupied the chair, The meeting throughout was
of a unanimous and enthusiastic character. Sir J. Hay has
hitherto declined to meet the non-electors, and the speakers
very frelly &dared that his disinclination to meet them
arose from his knowledge that they would reject him. Two
resolutions were passed. One expressed satisfaction at the
restoration of political privileges: to Wakefield, and de-
claring Mr. Smethurst to be a fit and proper person to re-
present the borough—the other pledged those present to
use all legitimate means in their power to secure that get
tleman's triumphant return. The nomination of
.canch-
dates will take place to-day.

AN ITALIAN PROCLAMATION.

The Earl of DERBY gave notice, on the part of the
Marquis of Normanby, that on Thursday next he should
call the attention of tho noble earl the Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs to a proclamation of a very extraordi-
nary nature which had lately been issued in the Neapolitan
territories.

Earl RUSSELL asked where the proclamation was to
be found.
The Earl of DERBY said he was about to ask the noble
earl whether he had received any information respecting
it. He had seen it in an Italian newspaper, and it was to the
effect that after a given day no person was to set foot within
a certain boundary, that all houses, farmhouses, cabins, and
hovels were to Abe levelled, and also that all inhabitants
of every house, farm house, or ether building in which
more than one day's food was to be found, should be
treated as brigands and shot. (Laughter.)

Earl RUSSELL said he had received no information
from her Majesty's Minister or Consul at Naples
on the subject, and ha should therefore feel obliged
if the noble earl would !furnish him with a copy of ithe
proclamation to which he referred.
Their lordships then adjourned.

TRANSPORT SERVICE.

Mr. CHILDERS asked the hon. member for Sunderland
(Mr. Lindsay) if he would not postpone the following
motion, of which he had given notice:—"That, in the
opinion of this house, her Majesty's Government ought to
adopt measures to carry into effect the recommendations of
the select committee of this house appointed in 1860 to in-
quire into the transport service, or at least such por-
tions of the report of 1861 as were unanimously adopted
by the said committee P"
Mr. GRIFFITH gave notice that he would ask a ques-
tion on the subject of the alleged ill-treatment of the
Italian Consul at Malta.

CHARITABLE BEQUESTS IN IRELAND.

In reply to Mr. BEMUSE,
Sir R. PEEL said that the subject had been under
notice of Government, but as he was at present advised it
was not intended to introduce any bill on the subject.
THE QUEEN'S UNIVERSITY IN IRELAND.
Mr. M'EVOY asked the First Lord of the Treasury,
if her Majesty's Government intended tomake any proposal
to Parliament, in accordance with the suggestion of the
Secretary for Ireland, respecting the erection of a College
in Dublin in connection with the Queen's University ?
Lord PALMERSTON said that no such proposition had
been brought under the notice of Government.

exhibited a slight improvement. Generally speaking, the

Good and fine barley met a steady sale at full currencies,

SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO A FRENCH COMMIS-
sioNzR.--Yesterday, at about noon, a shocking accident
occured to an elderly gentleman, whose name was ascer-
tained to be Eugene De la Cour, one of the commissioners
recently arrived from France to the International Exhibi-
tion. The unfortunate gentleman, who is very deaf, from
the effects of a fit of apoplexy, was in the act of crossing the
road at the end of Sloane-street, Knightsbridge, on his way
t,) the building, when a gig, passing on one side of a car-
riage, knocked him down, and the wheel passing over his
right side, completely severed his ear from his head. He
was immediately taken up and removed to a surgeon in a
state of iiaeasibility.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO A FRENCH COMMIS-
SIONER.—Yesterday, at about noon, a shocking accident
°
cured to an elderly gentleman, Whose name was ascer-
tainedc to be Eugene De la Cour, one of the commissioners
recently arrived from France to the International Exhibi-
tion. The unfortunate gentleman, who is very deaf, from
the effects of a fit of apoplexy, was in the act of crossing the
road at the end of Sloane-street, Knightsbridge, on his way
to the building, when a gig, passing on one side of a car-
riage, knocked him down, and the wheel passing over his
right side, completely severed his ear from his head. He
was immediately taken up and removed to a surgeon in a
state of insmibility.

lIE/ILT.H OF LONDON _DURING THE WEEK.

(From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.)

Ttie,deaths in London, which had fallen since the
end of January, again exhibited an increase in the
week that ended last Saturday, when they were
1,415. The mean temperature of the air was 45.4
deg. last week, but in the week that preceded it
the mean had fallen as low as 36 2 deg.
The average number of deaths for the correspond-
ing weeks in 10 years, 185261, corrected for in-
crease of population, is 1,426. Though the rate

72 cases. Five deaths from scarlatina were recorded
in the East sub-district of Islington ; six in Dept-
ford. Of those six, two occurred in.Wellington-

THE OVERLAND MAIL.

INDIA.

By the Overland Mail we have advices froM Cal-
cutta to Jan. 22, from Madras to the 27th, and from
Hong Kong to the 15th. The following is from the
Friend of India :

"The new constitution given to India by the In-
dian Councils Act of last session is fairly launched.
On Friday night, Jan. 17, the Calcutta Gazette Ex-
traordinary called into existence the ' Council of
the Governor-General for the purpose of making
laws and regulations,' and appointed its first meet-
ing for the subsequent day. At 11 o'clock, accord-
ingly, on Saturday, there assembled in the Council-
chamber of Government-house the following mem-
bers, who with the exception of the commander-in-
chief, now on his tour of inspection in the Punjaub,
constitute the imperial legislature of India :—His
Excellency the Viceroy and Governor-General of
India. Additional members of the Council: His
Honour the Lieut.-Governor of Bengal, and his
Highness the Maharajah of Puttiala, K,S.I. Mem-
bers of the Supreme Council : The Hon. Sir H. B.
Frere, K.C.8., the Hon. Cecil Beadon, Major-Gen.
the Hon. Sir R. Napier, K.C.8., the Hon. S. Laing,
the Hon. W. Ritchie. Additional members of the
Council: The Hon, H. B. Harington, the Hon. H.
Forbes, the lion. C. J. Erskine, _the Hon. W. S.
Fitzwilliam, the Hon. D. Cowie, the Hon.Raja Deo
Narain Singh Bahadoor, the Hon. Raja Dinkur Rao
Rugonauth Bahadoor.
According to the act the members summoned for
purely legislative duties must not exceed 12 in
number nor be less than six, and of these the half
must be non-officials. The whole number of legis-
lative members is eight, of whom five are non-offi-
cials, but of these five three are natives.
An interesting ceremony :took place at Oode-
pore lately, on the occasion of the installation of
the young Prince as Rama of Mewar. He is the
grand nephew of the late Maharana Suroop Singh,
and is the first instance in which the adoption
policy inaugurated by Lord Canning has been ex-
emplified. The installation was held in the court-
yard of the palace. General St. P. Lawrence,
Governor-General's agent for the Rajapootana
States, was present; and delivered a congratulatory
address in the vernacular. Costly presents from
the Governor-General were given to the young
Prince, and the ceremony was rendered more im-
posing by salutes from English artillery, and the
presence of a large body of English troops.

CRIMINAL COURT--THIS DAY,

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Williams.)
➢IURDER,

Henry Brennan, a sailor, was indicted for the wilful
murder of Stephen Kossoroukoff.

It will be recollected that a quarrel took place amongst
some American and Russian sailors, in front of a beer-shop
near the Victoria Docks, and that the deceased, who was a
Russian, died in consequence of injuries he received from
the hands of the prisoner, an American.
Mr. Sleigh made a very powerful address for the accused,
contending that the charge against the prisoner only
amounted to manslaughter.
The jury had not returned their verdict when we went
to press.

NEW COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Blackburn.)
SENDING DISEASED MEAT TO MARKET.

William Neville, butcher, who had been found guilty of
unlawfully sending to Newgate-market 5001 b. weight of beef
for sale, well knowing the same to be unwholesome and
unfit for human food, was brought up for judgment.
Mr. Justice Blackburn said the offence of which the pri-
soner had been found guilty was a very serious one, and it
had been thought that a short term of imprisonment would
have the effect of putting an end to the practice, but he
found it wa4 not so. It was now proposed to try another
mode of punishment, and the sentence of the court was
that he be imprisoned for three months, and further, that
he be fined £5O, and detained in custody until the money
was paid.

ImpitoVEMENTS OF DISTRICT POST-OFFICES.—
In conFequence of the difficulty which persons sometimes
