The Directors call special attention to the class of estates that are
purchased for allotment amongst the members of this society. The
one at Wood-green (now almost allotted) is acknowledged to be one
of the most eligible for building purposes yet distributed by any Lund
Society; and a further purchase in Wimbledon-park has just been
effected, fully equal, if not superior, to the one at Wood-green, ad-
mirably adapted for first class villas.
There is now an opportunity, either by paying up Shares, or taking
them, to get Ballot-rights of acquiring plots on this highly eligible
and profitable estate.
Ballots take place Monthly.

CERTIFICATES O SERVICE.

In connection with the subject of punishments on
board her Majesty's ships, my lords have to call the at-
tention of officers in command to the characters given by
them to seamen on their parchment certificates.
It has come to their lordships' knowledge that, in
some instances, for a minor fault inadvertently committed,
after a long period of good conduct, the character
awarded has been of such a nature as to deprive the
seamen of re-entry into her Majesty's service, thereby
inflicting a severe and permanent punishment for some
casual and minor offence.

Officers should reflect that the character of a seaman
on his certificate is his passport through life ; by it he
gains promotion or employment, and by it his future
pension is affected. It should, therefore, be maturely
considered, and decided with strict justice to the indi-
vidual and to the service. To this end the captain, in
filling up the certificate of character, is to take to his
assistance the officer next•in command to himself, the
lieutenant of the division to which the man belongs, and
such other persons as he may see fit. This should be
done on the ship's passage to England, or, in the case of
vessels on the home station before being paid off. And
when once the character has been fairly awarded and
written on the certificate, it is not, under any circum-
stances, to be altered, nor interlineations or erasures
made therein ; but any subsequent misconduct is to be
punished according to the custom of the service, and not
by an alteration in the certificate.
The word t` fair," which my lords consider to mean a
passable, and not an objectionable man, and which was
not originally intended to imply an indifferent character,
having been too often considered by officers in that sense,
and eligible seamen having thereby been refused re-
admittance into the service, their lordships desire, when
seamen present themselves for entry with characters in
their last ships marked "fair," that inquiry be made
into their characters in former ships, and if not unsatis-
factory, and they are otherwise desirable men for the
service, that the said men be received, to give them an
opportunity of re-establishing their "good" character.
The following scale of characters of men is to be
adopted in future with any additional notice of very de-
serving men :-
1. Very good.
2. Good.
3. Fair or Passable.
4. Indifferent.
5. Bad.
By command of their Lordships,

R. o 13ORNE.
To all commanders in chief, captains, com-
manders, and commanding officers of her
Majesty's ships and vessels.

THE SON OF THE EMPEROR OF HAITI.—This young
gentleman has recently arrived in England from France,
having travelled under the name of M. Dalval. He is
described as a most intelligent and gentlemanlike person,
and has been sojourning for a short time at the fashion-
able watering-place at Torquay. His object in visiting
this country is said to be to complete his education, for
which purpose he will shortly proceed to Dawlish, and
place himself under a clergyman of that place. M.
Dalval's father is the son and heir of Faustin Soulouque,
whose imperial character, long caricatured by the French
press, has just been recognised by the admission of hii
name, with full style and title, to the courtly pages of

ENTBAL CRIMINAL COURT

(THIS DAY.)

(Before the Recorder.)

On the learned judge taking his seat on the bench,
Mr. Ballantine said, in the case of Francis Rosenthal
Crutchley, who had surrendered 'yesterday at the con-
clusion of the trial of Morton, against whom judgment
was respited, he had shown the affidavit upon which he
(11r. Ballantine), on the part of the prosecution, founded
his application for the trial being postponed until next
session. He was enabled to state that his learned friend
felt he could not resist the affidavit, and therefore did
not object to the postponement. The charge was one of
conspiracy, arising out of bill transactions.

The Recorder said—Very well ; let the trial be pose
poned until next session.

The defendant will remain in Newgate in the mean
time, bail being refused.

The Court was occupied during the whole morning in
disposing of cases of a trivial character, devoid of public
interest.

LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY).

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.)

IN la A. S. HAY.-FAILURE OF A WEST INDIA HER•

CHANT.-IST CLASS CERTIFICATE.

This bankrupt was described as of Old Broad-stree
London, shipowner, merchant and commission agent
and to-day was appointed for consideration of his cert]
floats.

Mr. Lawrance appeared for the bankrupt, and urged
that the plaintiff was entitled to a Ist class certificate,
as his heavy losses had been perfectly through circum-
stances over which he had no control, being the loss of
a vessel at sea and the failure of houses in the West
India trade.

Mr. Taylor, for the assignees and creditors, who are
principally under-writers at Lloyd's, expressed their en-
tire satisfaction with the bankrupt's conduct, and had
no opposition to offer.

His
Honour, after referring to the balance-sheet, pre-
pared by Messrs. Robinson and Knowles, Basinghall-
street, granted au immediate certificate of the Ist class.
The balance sheet, commencing May, 1847, and
ending May, 1853, shows debtor to creditors, 3,062/. ;
liabilities, 2,7001. ; to ditto holding security, 1,0141. ;
capital, May, 1847, 6281. 10s. ; profits, 6,455/. 10s.
Creditor—Good debts, 1,7361.105. 4d. ; doubtful, 4091.;
debtors on liabilities, 2,7001. ; property given up,
1,2541. ; losses, 3,1701. ; trade expenses, 8731. 16s. 3d.;
house and personal, 2,613/. The losses were occasioned
by accidents on sea and the failure of houses connected
with the West India trade.

Mr. Lawrance applied for an allowance to Messrs.
Robinson and Knowles, who had rendered materia
assistance in making out the accounts, which were intri.
cate, as being connected with other firms.
Au order was made accordingly.

BRITISH OFFICERS IN TURKEY.—The following offi-
cers have quitted England for Constantinople, intending
to proceed thence to the Danube, to be spectators, at
least, of the operations carrying on by the rival armies
of Russia and Turkey :--Colonel Robert Cannon, K.C.,
of Charles 111., and of the Ist and 2d classes of St.
Ferdinand ; Major Forbes, 4th Regiment of Madras
Light Cavalry ; Captain Lake, Madras Engineers ;
Captain Rigby, Bombay Infantry ; Captain Balfour
Ogilvy, Half-pay Madras Army ; Lieutenant Green,
of the Bombay Army, late Commanding Scinde Ir-
regular Horse; Lieutenant Anderson, Bombay Artillery;
Captain Twopenny, of her Majesty's service ; and
Lieutenant Erlam, late of the Austrian Cavalry. These
officers will be followed by Lieutenant-Colonel Kent
Murray. Lieutenant-Colonel Beatson, of the Bengal
army, has already joined Omer Paella's army. These
gentlemen proceed to Turkey with introductions from
Lord Clarendon and the Turkish embassy, but with no
decided expectations of employment. Should the
course of events, however, compel England to take an
active part in the contest, they will, we dare say, gladly
render service to the Sultan. Meanwhile they are
merely to be regarded as visitors to the camp.— Unit eel

(IN TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA,
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the
Gsnerative System, or Sexual Hypochondrlasis.
Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD
"Dr. Pickford 's known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall detect any
other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his cower to correct."
—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851. The tribe of 'Quiet Sympa-
htsers,'and Medical Friends,'are mercilessly exposed; arid if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who stiffer from the com-
plaint of which It treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds ...add
be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much money...... This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhrea, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore
likely to do much good."—Medical Circular, June 16. 1852.

NEW YORK MERCANTILE AFFAIRS.—The mercantile
advices from New York this week show little alteration
froth those previously received, and, although there bad
been no further revival of activity in the stock-market,
confidence in its future prospects was undiminished. A
report of Illinois Central Railroad, the bonds of which
fora million sterling were subscribed in London in 1852,
740 Just been published, and was very
j satisfactory. It
:described, indeed, in a respectable journal as one of
he most surprising ever issued. In little more than a
tear nearly the whole extent of the line-700 miles, has

Cu 113 miles at a rate that, with incomplete connexion,
pays more than 7 per cent. on the cost. The entire

GERMANY.

The Hanover Gazette has shown a great leaning
to the Roman Catholic clergy in the Grand Duchy
of Baden, but in its last article it declares that it
is opposed to encroachments of any kind, from
whatever quarter they may come.
A letter from Stutgard of the 7th says :—" Our
companies of sharp-shooters are to be augmented
by six men each. In present circumstances, some
weight is attached to this augmentation."
According to the Correspondence of Berlin, it is
stated that the Dowager Princess of Hohenzollern-
Sigmaringen is about to enter a French convent at
Kennzheim near Colmar.

His Royal Highness Prince Frederick William
of Prussia arrived at Vienna on the 7th from Ber-
lin. On the following day he dined with his Ma-
jesty the Emperor, and left Vienna again on the
9th by the southern railroad for Italy. It is under-
stood that his royal highness proceeds to Rome.

THE ARMY.

CHATHAM, DEC. 12.
The commandant of Chatham garrison, Colonel M.
commandant
Beresford, having procured leave of absence from the
t
garrison, Colonel John Montresor Pilcher, cem
of the Royal Marines, will conduct the duties of Cha-
tham garrison during the period of Colonel Beresford's
absence.
The under-named officers at Chatham garrison have
obtained leave of absence :-56th Regiment, Ensign,
Campbell, to 31st March, 1854 ; 70th Regiment, En.
sign Borkhouse, to 23d January, and Paymaster Leech,
Invalid Depot, to 2d January ; Lieutenant St. John,
60th Rifles, and Ensign Hill, 56th, to the 30th Dec.

CLONMEL.—We learn with much regret that the gal-
lant " Ninth," now so long stationed in our garrison,
are to leave on Wednesday next to be replaced by a
depot of the 13th. Clonmel so long a garrison town,
is to be henceforth but a resting•place for a few soldiers,
or for a regiment on its march to a more favoured lo-
cality. When the artillery was withdrawn we foresaw
the infantry would soon follow. The recruiting party
of the 87th, some time stationed at Clonmel, has been
removed to Thurles. .

MELANCHOLY CATASTROPHE.—We regret to state
that Lieutenant Wright, 3d Dragoon Guards, quartered
at Ballinrobe, county Galway, met with a serious acci-
dent on Monday last, the sth instant. As he was in-
cautiously loading his fowling-piece, one of the barrels
being loaded, and at full cock, the gun went off, and
shot off the fore and little fingers of his right hand. The
other fingers were much injured, and his thumb has
been misplaced. Providentially he had turned aside
his head to speak to a person who was near him, or he
would
havoef
been killed on the spot. It is, however,
gratifying
s
to add, that this young gentleman is pro-
si9g as favourably as can bo expected, without the
necessity
amputation.

VALUE OF A STEAMER.—The American steamship
Sir John Harvey was offered for sale by Mr. Mort, at
Sydney, on the 16th ult. 17,000/. were bid and refused.
It was intimated that the owner would lay her on for
the Melbourne trade. 22,000/. was understood to be
the reserve price.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—Dec. 12.

The December general session commenced this morn-
ing at the Sessions House, Clerkenwell, before Mr. Ser-
jeant Adams, assistant judge, and a full bench of magis-
trates. There were fifty-two prisoners for trial, all,
except two, charged with felony
Charles Williams, convictedllast session of picking a
lady's pocket at the Eastern Countiest Railway Terminus,
was brought up for judgment. was shown that he
was an old offender, and had been repeatedlyprison.off
The Assistant Judge remarked tat these offences
were now getting so numerous that the court was bound
to punish them with severity. He sentenced the up
•
soner to four years' penal servitude, and added that pri-
soner
future the sentence would be increased to six years foru
such offences.
William Mason, 12, pleaded guilty to having stolen
196 parts of printed books, value 21., the property of
John Tanis, his master.
The prosecutor in this case was the publisher of St.
John-street, Smithfield, and the prisoner was in the
employ of the firm as an errand boy. It appeared that
he was in the habit of carrying off parts of books from
his master's shop, and offering them for sale as waste
paper to tradesmen in the neighbourhood ; one of them
suspecting his honesty, gave information to Mr. Tallis,
in consequence of which the boy was given into
custody.
The Assistant-Judge sentenced him to six months' im-
prisonment, with hard labour.

FRANCE.

The Emperor drove along the Boulevards at
four o'clock yesterday afternoon, and visited the
Rue de Strasburg, the opening of which took place
on Saturday. No escort beyond two gendarmes
as outriders, and two after the third carriage,
attended him. He returned soon after by the
same way. _

The Emperor received on Sunday, at a private
audience, Baron de Doernberg, Minister of the
Elector of Hesse, who handed him a letter, notify-
ing the marriage of Prince Frederick of Hesse with
the Princess Anne of Prussia ; and also Baron de
l'Asilo, Minister of the King of Denmark at the
Court of Spain.

About three o'clock on the same day the Em-
peror, dressed in plain clothes, and accompanied by.
M. de Beville and M. Valabregue, left the Tuile-
ries and went to the Museum, Where he walked
about in the midst of the crowd of persons who
generally assembled there on Sundays. After
having visited several of the rooms, the Emperor
crossed the court of the Louvre, to visit the works
executed on the side of St. German rAuxerrois ;
after which his Majesty walked back to the Tuile-
ries, examining the new buildings of the Louvre in
his way. In the evening their Majesties honoured
the Opera, Comique with their presence.
Placards appeared in the streets of Paris yester-
day announcing on the part of the administrators
of the royal domains the sale of the chAteau and
estate Rainey, belonging to the Orleans family, in
virtue of the confiscation decree of the 22d of
January, 1852. The upset price is 1,383,098 f.
The arrests effected at the establishment of the
Belle Jardinibre continue to be much spoken of
here. It is said that the parties implicated con-
cealed a quantity of arms on the shelves behind
the bales of cloth (the establishment is an outfitting
one), without the knowledge of the proprietors.
These arms is was intended to use (the report goes)
some day when the Emperor should appear in
public to inaugurate one of the buildings now in '
course of construction in Paris. As usual, some of
the persons belonging to the plot failed in courage,
and communicated the whole affair to others ; and
at last the police 'got into the secret, and the
arrests already mentioned were effected.
The Three per Cents. opened yesterday at '7sf.
95c., and rose to 76f. 35c., with every appearance
of a further rise. The announcement, however,
that Consols had fallen in London produced a re-
action, and they fell again to 75f. 95e., at which
they losed for the end of the month ; the Four-
and-a-Half per Cents. closed at 102 f. 50c. ; Orleans
Railway shares -1,220 f. ; Rouen, 1,087 f. 50c. ;
Havre, 512 f. 50c. ; Great Northern, 905 f. ; Paris
and Strasburg, 855 f. ; Paris and Lyons, 927 f. 50c.;
Lyons to the Mediterranean, 787 f. 50c. ; Western

Great Central, 532 f. 50c. ; Lyons and Geneva,
530 f. ; shares of the Bank of Credit Mobilier, 7901.

ANEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH.-
Mr. HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-street, has intro-
duced an entirely NEW DESCRIPTION of ARTIFICAL TEETH,
fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resem-
ble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the original by
the closest observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will
be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method
does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation,
and will give support and preserve teeth that are loose, and are
guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication ; and that Mr.
Howard's improvement may be within reach of the most economical,
he has fixed his charges at the lowest scale possible. Decayed teeth
rendered sound and useful in mastication.-52, Fleet-street. At
home from ten till five.

TATTERSALL'S—MoNDAY.

The attention of the subscribers, who mustered nume-
rously in the course of the afternoon, was chiefly occu-
pied with the Newcastle accounts—the most prominent
feature in which was the Northumberland Plate, one of
the best betting races the bookmakers have had for some
time past, and the result of which was hailed by " the
Ring" with the most cordial feelings of satisfaction.
The transactions on coming events were for the most
part relative to the Goodwood Stakes, for which Sextus
and Hobby Horse were backed for a good deal of money
at 10 to 1 each. Crusader (c by Crozier, out of Sum-
merhill,) and Placid, were also in some demand ; 20 to
1 taken to various small sums about the former, 500 to
25, 1,000 to 60, and finally 2,000 to 90 about the latter.
JULY STAKES.—Ruby's non-appearance at Newmarket
was clearly indicated by the investments made on Astolfo
at 5 to 2, Calliope 7 to 2, and 3 to 1 (the latter taken to
1001., and Marsyas at 4 to 1.

LIVERPOOL dUP.—Goorkah was backed for about
2001. at 4 to 1, and 160 to 20 betted against his win-
ning this event, and West Australian the St. Leger.
THE DERBY.-12 to 1 taken to 150 about Autocrat ;

1,000 to 45 and 1,000 to 50, Prince Arthur ; 1,000 to
50 and 1,000 to 40, Woodcote, the latter the current
price at the close ; 1,000 to 30 to some money about
Reel colt ; 2,000 to 50 about Dr. O'Toole ; 30 to 1
Andover, and 50 to 1 the Novice.

The prices at the conclusion of business were as fol-
lows :

onerous than merely carrying forward traffic brought
to the station.

which, like that of the Leeds Northern, seeks to curtail
the interest on preference shares, passed the Commons

that has been so far successful, but there is no expecta-

NEW PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY.

The fifth concert of the New Philharmonic Society
was a varied and elegant entertainment, and attracted
one of the most fashionable and crowded assemblies of
the season. The whole resources of as noble an orchestra
as has ever been organised in this country were called
into action, to furnish forth a musical banquet of almost
unparalleled splendour. Dr. Spohr directed ; and it was
an interesting sight to see the greatest of living com-
posers presiding, while fine singers, a powerful chorus,
and a matchless orchestra, were giving triumphant in-
terpretation to his grandest and most beautiful concep-
tions. The programme was as follows :

NEW WRIT.

On the motion of Mr. HAYTER a new writ was ordered
to be issued for the western division of Cornwall, in the
room of Mr. Pendarves.

PETITIONS.

Mr. E. BALL presented a petition from Manchester,
complaining of the infringement of the Factory Act, and
praying for a new act.
Mr. MOODY presented several petitions from Bristol
against the Crystal Palace being opened on Sunday.
Mr. MIALL presented petitions from Liverpool,
Birkenhead, Salford, and other places against the Go-
vernment scheme of education.

Mr. WICKHAM presented a petition from Bradford
in favour of a Ten Hours Factory Bill.
Several petitions were presented to the same effect.
Mr. A. PELLATT presented a petition from York-
skire in favour of what is called "the People's Charter."

Mr. B. DENISON presented a petition from the
West Riding of Yorkshire against the opening of beer-
houses on Sunday.
Mr. R. PALMER presented a petition from Ply-
mouth against the inspection of Nunneries Bill.

PILOTAGE BILL.
Mr. TOLLEMACHE said the Pilotage Bill stood
first on the paper for to-morrow ; and as certain ship-
owners at Liverrnol entertained considerable objection
to some part of it, he wished to know if it could
not be postponed for a few days, in order that
the hon. member for the borough might be present? At
this moment Liverpool was without any representative,
but a writ had been issued, and in the course of a few
days the new members wol:Id be elected.
Mr. CARDWELL objected to postpone the bill on
the ground that the house had already decided by a
majority of three in favour of that part of it to which the
hon. member alluded.
Mr. TOLLEMACHE then gave notice that he would
move the postponement of the bill, when the order of
the day was road to-morrow for going into committee
upon it.
