rrHE VIGOUR OF YOUTH RESTORED IN
FOUR WEEKS by Dr. RICORD'S ESSENCE OF
LIFE.
This wonderful agent will restore manhood to the most
shattered constitution, whether arising from self-pollution,
excesses, nocturnal emissions, the effects of climate, or natu-
ral causes. The time required to cure the most inveterate
case is four weeks ; and, if used according to the printed in-
structions (which are very simple), failure is impossible.
This life-restoring remedy should be taken by all about to
marry, as its effects are permanent. It is acknowledged by
he medical press to be the greatest discovery ever made.
Success in every case is as certain as that water quenches
thirst
Dr. Ricord's Essence of Life is sold in cases, with full in-
structions for use, at lls., or four quantities in one for 335.,
and will be sent to any part of the world, carefully packed,
on receipt of remittance or post-office order payable to Front

LA_TEsr NEWS.

PARIS, DEC. 15.

The Noniteur of to-day says :

" The Emperor yesterday received the Turkish
Ambassador in a private audience, and received
from him the znszgnia, set in brilliants, of the Order
of the Osmanli, together with an autograph letter
from the Sultan."

VIENNA, DEC. 14.
The Austrian Gazette of to-day publishes the fol-

[owing telegram :

ATENS, DEC. 13.
The Hon. Mr. Elliot has arrived here on a special

mission.

It is asserted that England recommends King
Ferdinand of Portugal as King of Greece, and she
will cede the lonian Islands to Greece.

TURIN, DEC. 14.
It is asserted that England has ceded the lonian
Islands to. Greece.
The report that M. de Sartiges had expressed at
Turin apprehensions that the new Ministry would
incline towards England. is without any founds-

tion.
From a statement of Signor Sella, published to-
day, on the financial condition of the Italian Go-
vernment, it appears, that, while in 1862 the deficit
was 418,217,706 lire, the ordinary deficit in 1863
will be 226,266,127 lire, and the extraordinary
127,894,448 lire. According to Signor Sella's
statement the ordinary deficit for 1862 will be
covered without having recourse to public credit,
but in order to cover the extraordinary deficit he
recommends that the Government be authorised to
issue 300,000,000 lire of Treasury bonds. These
means, however, being insufficient, the Govern-
ment must have recourse to a public loan, although
Signor Sella thinks that the funds which are now
in the public Treasury will allow of the postpone
ment of this measure for a considerable period.

MADRID, DEC. 12, EVENING.

The Epoca of this evening states that General
Concha has suspended his resignation, but has de-
cided not to return to Paris for the present.

To-day in the Senate the Marquis of Miraflores
replied to Gen, Prim's speech on the Mexican ques-
tion. He regretted that Gen. Prim had not gone
to Mexico with the French, and said that he ought
not to have drawn up the preliminaries of Soledad.
The MarqUls considered the Treaty of London to
have been broken, and that the English representa-
tive and Gen. Prim shoul i have proposed a new
treaty, Juarez not having yet signed any treaty.
He said, in conclusion, that Mexico must do its
duty, and that if it will not Spain must compel it
to do so by force.
Senor Calderon Collantes regretted that party
spirit had distorted the Mexican question, and that
it should be made an occasion for seeking to render
the relations of Spain with foreign Courts less
friendly. He rejected certain apprehensions enter•
tabled by Gen. Prim, who, he said, ought not to
have accused the French Plenipotentiary of having
broken the Treaty of London, as he, on the contrary
recognised that treaty, and agreed with the other
Plenipotentiaries upon two points of it—viz., that
the Mexican expedition was intended to support
certain claims, and that no negotiation should be
entered into with Juarez>

WOOL.
The public sales of colonial wool were brought to a close
on Friday last. With the exception of one week of heavi-
nese, they went off steadily, at remunerative prices, or from
ld to 2d per lb above the average of last sales. About
80,000 bales were disposed of during their progress, but the
greater portion was taken by our own manufacturers, the
scarcity of cotton making it necessary, on the part of mann-
turers, to make nearly all qualities of woollen goods entirely
of wool. The unsatisfactory state of the foreign cloth trade
with America operated very =favourably, as regard") the

OYAL FREE HOSPITAL, Gray's-inn-road,
td 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 toe dmit and relieve the distressing cases that

BOROUGH HOP.

There has been a great want of animation in the hop
trade since we last wrote. Good and fine English qualities,
as well vs the finest samples of produce, have changed
a moderate extent at our quotations; otherwise, the
market has exhibited considerable heaviness. Last
week's import was 16 bales from Antwerp, 62 Ostend,
253 Hamburg, 60 Dunkirk, 40 Boulogne, 63 Rotterdam,
356 Bremen, 806 Pockets and 1,080 bales from New York.

STATE OF THE TRADE.

Notwithstanding that the supply of beasts, even for the
great day, was very large, there was a steady, though not
to say active, demand for the best Scots, shorthorns, Here-
fords, Devons, and crosses, at full prices. Otherwise, the
demand was in a sluggish state, on former terms. A few
very superior animals realised 5s 2d to 5s 4d per 81bs; but
general top price was 5s per 81bs.
For the time of year we were fairly supplied with sheep,
the general condition of which was good. On the whole
the mutton trade was steady, at prices equal to Monday
last. The best Downs replized 5s 8d per Sibs.
There were a few lambs on show; but they commanded
very little attention.

Calves, though on short supply, were a slow inquiry, at
last week's prices. The top figure was 4s 6d per 81bs.
We have to report a dull sale for pigs at drooping cur-
rencies.

we received 3,000 short horns, crosses, &c. ; from
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamp-
-1,500 Scots, &c. ; from other parts of England,

SERIOUS CHARGE OF ROBBERY.—A young woman, who
gave the name of Mary Lawler, was placed at the bar by
Inspector Holman, of the B division, upon a charge of steal-
ing £l4 and some articles of value.

Mr. Charles Bolleslaski, assistant secretary to the Aus-
trian Commissioner, at the International Exhibition, said
he lodged at 42, Pelham-street, Brompton. He had been
in the habit of keeping his money in a tin-box in a table-
drawer, in his sitting-room, and there was up to last Friday
morning £l4 in sovereigns there. He went out to attend to
his business as usual, and on Saturday he had occasion to
go to the drawer, and, to his surprise, found that the tin
box and money, and some articles of value, which had also
been in the drawers, were gone. He told his landlady of
it, but he had not recovered the property or money.
Mr. Arnold—What makes you suspect the prisoner ?
Prosecutor—There was nobody else to take it ; nobody
came to my rooms to see me. She is the only. person I
suspect.

Mrs. Fanny Swaine, the landlady, said that the prisoner
was her servant. Prosecutor went out of the house at a
quarter-past 9 on Friday morning, and had not left the
house a quarter of an hour when the prisoner came to her
in her bedroom in a great hurry, and said she must imme-
diately go out. Witness was much surprised, and said that
'she really could not spare her, as the work of the house
must be done; but prisoner said she must go that minute
to see her brother, who was in the hospital, and she then
left the house. She never returned until half-past five at
night, and accounted for her absence by alleging that she
had lost her key, and had been looking for it, and for a
woman who had picked it up. Prisoner had only been in
her service a week.
Mr. Holman was about to proceed further with the case,
when
The prisoner was remanded.

.RESCUE OF A CBETV AT SEA.

The Glasgow Herald says :—" If the recent gales
in the North Atlantic have been productive of much
disaster to our merchant shipping, they have also
been instrumental in calling into exercise some of
the noblest qualities of mind and heart in our sea-
faring men. We lately had occasion to notice a
gallant rescue at sea by ono of our ocean steamers,
and to-day we have to record another of those
heroic deeds, in which accuracy of judgment,
promptitude of action, and generous self-denial
were strikingly displayed. The ship St. Lawrence,
one of the traders between our city and Canada,
commanded by Capt. Hugh Wylie, had sailed from
Montreal early in Nov. last, and after contending
with adverse winds and severe weather in the gulf,
had only on the Bth December succeeded in reach-
' ing the eastern edge of the Newfoundland banks,
when, towards the afternoon, she sighted a brigan-
tine at some distance with ensign union down. he
wind was then blowing fresh from the westward,
accompanied with a heavy sea. The St. Lawrence
bore down upon the vessel in distress, and, ap-
proaching to her as near as possible, hove to. Hail-
ing her, Capt. Wylie ascertained that she was the
Harriet, of Newfoundland, bound for Greenock. A
gale of wind had swept the deck, the crew, eight
in all, were enfeebled with fatigue and exposure;
several of them were disabled; captain and men
were living in the forecastle, the cabin having been
destroyed, and the vessel was making water faster
than they could discharge it. Another day on board
at such a season, and all might have found a watery
grave. Night approaching, Capt. Wylie felt that
succour, to be effective, must be immediate. Calling
all hands on deck, and asking for a volunteer crew
for the quarterboat, the mate and four men stepped
forward. The boat was soon lowered, manned by
them, and on her way to the sinking ship. With
such a sea running it needed all the skill and power
of her crew to bring the boat alongside. This ac-
complished, six of the men, which were as many as
the boat could safely take, were rapidly passed on
board and conveyed to the St. Lawrence. Another
trip had still to be made to bring away the re-
mainder of the crew, and this, too, was successfully
performed, night closing in as the boat with its res-
cued freight came alongside. Captain Wylie, after
, receiving them on board, and attending; to their im-

THE TYNE.--In 1851 the number of vessels which
arrived in the Tyne from foreign ports, together with
foreign vessels coastwise, was 2,846. In 1561 the number
of those vessels entering the river had increased to 7,262,
showing an increase of arrivals within the period mentioned
of 4,416 vessels.

PRUSSIA.

Advices from Berlin, of the 4th inst., state that
the King is ill. He caught cold while out driving,
and is confined to his bed. His indisposition has not
as yet partaken of anything serious. It is said that
the note addressed by Count de Bernstorff to the
Prussian Minister at Washington has been com-
municated to Switzerland with the invitation to
adhere to it. It was thought that with the
analogy which exists between the institutions of
Switzerland and the United States, a proposal of
mediation from the Helvetic Confederation would
be favourably received in America.

The National Verein has sent another sum of
10,000 florins to the Prussian Ministry of Marine
for the Prussian fleet. The King of Denmark has
prohibited the collection of subscriptions for the
German fleet in the Duchies of Holstein and
Lauenburg.

It is explaincd that the non-admisbicn cf reporters

BULLION IN THE NE IV Y aRK BANKS.

The further decrease of £500,000 in the stock of
bullion in the New York banks, announced to have
occurred daring the week preceding the departure
of the Europa, coupled with the fact that the rate
of exchange was at 1103 to 111, confirms the im-
pression that we may now, at any moment, E xpect
to receive the news of a suspension of specie pay-
ments. It was mentioned some months back that,
owing to the smuggling operations on the Canadian
frontier, and the necessity for paying for coffee,
sugar, hides, and other South American produce, of,
which the New York market had been allowed to'
run bare, the currency difficulty might assume bad
proportions, through the exportation of gold North
and South, previously to its being fully consum-
mated by a heavy resumption of remittances to this
side. The prospect that hoarding would be sud-
denly resorted to as soon as the idea of a possible
suspension entered the popular mind was also plain.
The Europa, sailing from Boston, has brought only
£21,420, and the total we have yet received does
not much exceed £lOO,OOO. It is evident, there-
fore, that the other causes have been predominately
in operation, and, from the circumstance that the
deposits have decreased nearly as much as the
specie, there is reason to infer that, although the
New York press have hitherto endeavoured to
assure the people that an inconvenient outflow of
bullion was impossible, the practice of hoarding has
commenced. During the present month remittances
equal at least to about a million and a half sterling
must be made to Europe for dividends on various
kiads of American securities, and each incoming
steamer will, consequently, be likely to bring re-
ports of increased pressure, if not of actual panic.
At the departure of the present mail gold was at I;
to 1 per cent. premium. That there was still much
anxiety among the mercantile classes on the war
question is evidenced by the circumstance that tho
whole of the Anglo-American bankers who have
been in the habit of giving out East India credits
have seen fit to cancel all their outstanding ones.
