BURY ST. EDMUNDS,

This committee sat for the first time this morning ;
Mr. Walpole in the chair. The member petitioned
against is Mr. Oakes.

The counsel for the petitioners are Mr. Sergeant
Kinglake, Mr. E. James, and Mr. Hawkins ; for the
sitting member, Mr. O'Malley and Mr. Rodwell.
Mr. E. James, who opened the case for the petition-
ers, stated that the allegations of the petition were
bribery by direct pecuniary payments, and also by the
payment Alf publicans' bills, treating by opening public-
houses to the voters, and by numerous dinners given by
Mr. Oakes, for which tickets were given to the Conser-
vative voters. There had also been a performance at the
Bury theatre, for which the Conservative voters re-
ceived tickets, at which the performances were, the
learned counsel remarked "The Country Squire, in
honour of Mr. Oakes, and the Unfinished Gentleman, in
honour of whom he could not say."

SLIGO.
In this case Mr. Sergeant Kinglake occupied the en.
ire morning in opening the case for the petitioners.

The Liverpool and Peterborough committees also sat,
but there was no evidence of importance.

FRENCH PLAYS.

The appearance of Mademoiselle Rachel, last night,
attracted the fullest house of the season. Every desira-
ble place was occupied ; the private boxes presented an
animated and interesting aspect, and there was generally
that kind of excitement among the audience which is
only to be found on great occasions.
The Phadre of Racine, when first brought to the
notice of the Londoners, some 12 years ago, came as a
sort of literary curiosity. It had been read as a French
lesson, but no one had a notion of seeing it put on the
stage in a visible shape, and the educated portion of the
audience loved to compare it with the plays of Euripides
and Seneca written on the same subject. Now, thanks
to the frequent engagements of Mademoiselle Rachel,
it has become as familiar to a certain section of the
public as Hamlet or Othello. The progress of the action
is admitted as a matter of course, and an audience of
three years' standing knows as well how to look for the
several " points" which the play affords as an habitue of
the lyrical drama knows how to pick out the favourite
songs of an opera.
Mademoiselle Rachel has lost none of her supremacy
li over her hearers ' • she is still the impersonation of
passion, decorated, but not weakened, by all the refine-
ments of histrionic art.

SPAIN.

Thursday last, being the day of Corpus Christi,
was observed with great solemnity in Madrid, and
all the printing-offices being closed, none of the
Madrid journals appeared on the following day
(the 27th ult.). We have letters of that date, but
they mention nothing of political interest. M.
Salamanca is said to have appealed against the
decision of the Royal Council, referring the con-
cession of the Northern Railroad to th'e Cortes.

Translated from the German of Dr. rICKFORD

"Dr. Pickford to known to English readers by his frequent practi-
,al contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs as, that he has addressed himself to the nos-mixli-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if ho shall
detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his
. ower to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851.

We promised in a former number that we should recur to this
wor:c, in order to exhibit its aim more clearly. The author lashes
with great severity the impostors who make a livelihood by preying
on the credulity of the public. The tribe of Quiet Symathisers,'
and • Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed : and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who staffer from th com-
plaint of which It treats, we are satisfied that many h mdreds would
be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less itnportance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much m0ney...... This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrheea, and to place the treat-
•sanut upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
"V.Oly to do much good."—Medical Circular, June 16, 1802.

BY F. B. COURTENAY,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.

In -Proot of his views he (Mr. Courtenay) has given
history of a great many cases successfully treated, as bad
any which Mr. Syme adduced, and on which he had operated.
Such are cases ix., xi., xii., and xvill. No. ix. had resited, for a
period of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally
removed in as mely weeks. But cases xviii. and xix. appear, both
to duration, severity, and complication of gq mptome, of a more ag-
gravated character than any detailed by Mr. Syme, and yet the
treatment adopted by Mr. Courtonay proved eminently successful."

AMERICA.

SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY JUNE 1.
The American steam-yacht North Star arrived
here this morning, after a passage of 10 days,
8 hours, and 40 minutes, from New York, which
port she left early in the morning of the 21st ult.
The North Star is a beautiful new steam-yacht
of over 2,000 tons burden, belonging to Commo-
dore Vanderbill, of New York, the pioneer of the
various lines of mail-steamers between that city
and the Pacific. This steamer has been constructed
specially for the private use of that gentleman, and
the present is her first voyage. She was built by
Mr. Simonson, of New York, and her dimensions
are—length of keel, 260 feet ; length of spar-deck,
270 feet • beam 38 feet. The engines are from the
Allaire Works, the cylinders being 60 inches dia-
meter, with 10 feet stroke, and the paddle-wheels
34 feet in diameter. The steam is generated in
four boilers, each 24 feet long and 10 feet diameter,
with single return flues.
A steam-yacht of such gigantic proportions as
these is likely to excite great interest in this coun-
try. Her cabins and interior arrangements are of
the most commodious and elegant description, and
fitted up entirely for the convenienee of the family
of the owner, by whom he is accompanied. The
North Star will shortly proceed to St. Petersburg,
and thence to the Mediterranean, touching at se-
veral European ports, merely on a visit of plasure.
Some idea of her size may be formed when we state
that the North Star is of larger tonnage and greater
power than the Victoria and Albert Royal yacht.
She cost $500,000, and her weekly expenses are
about 3501., exclusive of fuel. The crew consists
of nearly 100 men, including officers, seamen, en-
gineers, firemen, dm. The vessel, after coaling,
will be thrown open to the public, and her stay is
expected to occupy ten or twelve days.
The rapid voyage of this vessel from New York
to Southampton is an evidence of her great speed,
particularly when the newness of her machinery is
taken into account. During one 24 hours the log
of the North Star shows that she ran 344 miles.
Her consumption of coals has been 500 tons.
By this steamer we have accounts from New
York to the 20th ult. inclusive, but no political
news of importance.
The Africa arrived out from Liverpool on the
19th ult.

we heard of no transactions. The advices are fully as
favourable as anticipated, no later accounts having been
received from this side since the sailing of the Atlantic

THE AFRICAN MAILS.

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)

PLYMOUTH, THURSDAY.
The African Steam Company's mail ship Fore-
runner, Captain James Batkins, arrived at mid-
night from the coast of Africa. She left Fernando
Po April 24, Lagos 29, Sierra Leone May 8, and
Madeira 23, and has a cargo of ginger, pepper,
arrowroot, and camwood, four thousand pounds of
gold, five tons of ivory, cochineal, and frails.
The coast is healthy. Gold is abundant. Cot-
ton and coffee are cultivated with success at Mon-
rovia. The blight had made its appearance in the
vineyards at Teneriffe.

Her Majesty's ships Polyphemus; and Spy were
at Lagos ; the Firefly, Linnet, and Bloodhound
were at Sierra Leone ; the Plato was off the Sher-
bore River ; and the Teazer and Ferret were
cruising. The Ferret had taken a slave-vessel in
the river near Calabar, and the Linnet had taken
two in the river Pongas.

and Mr. G. DAVEY'S comfortably-diminished Ex-

the House will deal even-handedly with both
parties ; it will all come in aid of the new Reform

Mr. KINGSFORD, jun., a solicitor, who admitted
that 8501. had passed through their office in 1852,
had a little skirmish with the all-powerful Com-
missioners over some papers connected with Mr.
JOHNSTONE'S defence. As solicitor, he had a lien
upon them. Mr. SLADE—" We must have
them." Mr. KINGSFORD—" I protest, as they
will compromise many persons." Mr. SLADE—
"On that very account we must have them. '
Mr. KINGSFORD, jun., quite non-plussed, sends
for Mr. KINGSFORD, sen. He also protests ; it is
of no use ; Mr. SLADE only gives him Friday to
consider of it. He declares that Mr. JOHNSTONE
himself objects to their surrender. Mr. JOHN-
STONE steps forward and corroborates the state-
ment. It is all , unavailing a • the unmoved Com-
missioner assures Mr. JOHNSTONE that "they have
power to put him where they would put Mr.
KINGSFORD." Reprieve till Friday—that is all.
On Friday it appeared that none of the gentle-
men were disposed to become martyrs, and, with
mournful protests " against such an unconstitu-
tional demand," they handed over the papers to

the Mirror of the Commission. Mr. SLADE for-
bore to ask whether 8501. could be constitution-
ally employed for election purposes ; perhaps he
expected that the papers so unwillingly surren-
dered would answer that question.

MONEY ORDERS.

The following circular has been issued by the Pos

" General Post-office, May, 1853.
" 1. On and after the Ist of July next, an additional
commission will be charged for the issue of a duplicate
money order, or for stopping the payment of an order.
" 2. The payment of an additional commission—viz.,
3d. on all sums not exceeding 21., and 6d. on all sums
between 2/. and 51., must invariably be made by postage
stamps transmitted with the application ; and unless this
be done the application will not be entertained ; when,
however, the same letter includes applications both for
the stoppage of payment and re-payment to the remitter,
only one fee will be required.
" 3. All applications for duplicates must be addressed
to the president of the London, Dublin, or Edinburgh
money-order office, according as the order was issued
in England (or Wales), Ireland, or Scotland ; but ap-
plications to stop the payment of orders must be ad-
dressed to the president of the chief money-order office

AMERICA.

SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY JUNE 1.
The American steam-yacht North Star arrived
here this morning, after a passage of 10 days,
8 hours, and 40 minutes, from New York, which
port she left early in the morning of the 21st ult.
The North Star is a beautiful new steam-yacht
of over 2,000 tons burden, belonging to Commo-
dore Vanderbilt, of New York, the pioneer of the
various lines of mail-steamers between that city
and the Pacific. This steamer has been constructed
specially for the private use of that gentleman, and
the present is her first voyage. She was built by
Mr. Simonson, of New York, and her dimensions
are—length of keel, 260 feet ; length of spar-deck,
270 feet ; beam 38 feet. The engines are from the
Allaire Works, the cylinders being 60 inches dia-
meter, with 10 feet stroke, and the paddle-wheels
34 feet in diameter. The steam is generated in
four boilers, each 24 feet long and 10 feet diameter,
with single return flues.

A steam-yacht of such gigantic proportions as
these is likely to excite great interest in this coun-
try. Her cabins and interior arrangements are of
the most commodious and elegant description, and
fitted up entirely for the convenienee of the family
of the owner, by whom ho is accompanied. The
North Star will shortly proceed to St. Petersburg,
and thence to the Mediterranean, touching at se-
veral European ports, merely on a visit of pleasure.
Some idea of her size may be formed when we state
that the North Star is of larger tonnage and greater
power than the Victoria and Albert Royal yacht.
She cost $500,000, and her weekly expenses are
about 3501., exclusive of fuel. The crew consists
of nearly 100 men, including officers, seamen, en-
gineers, firemen, &C. The vessel, after coaling,
will be thrown open to the public, and her stay is
expected to occupy ten or twelve days.
The rapid voyage of this vessel from New York
to Southampton is an evidence of her great speed,
particularly when the newness of her machinery is
taken into account. During one 24 hours the log
of the North Star shows that she ran 344 miles.
Her consumption of coals has been 500 tons.
By this steamer we have accounts from New
York to the 20th ult. inclusive, but no political
news of importance.
The Africa arrived out from Liverpool on the
19th ult.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW YORK, MAY 20.
COTTON.—Prior to the receipt this morning of the
Africa's advices of the 6th inst. from Liverpool, 900
bales were sold at the full rates yesterday. After receipt
we heard of no transactions. The advices are fully as
favourable as anticipated, no later accounts having been
received from this side since the sailing of the Atlantic
on the 4th inst.

fund, Alderman BRENT'S sons (and other appoint-
ments obtained by him on political grounds also),
and Mr. G. DA.VEY'S comfortably-diminished Ex-
chequer penalty, the Whigs at Head-quarters are
fairly vieing with the late Ministry. We hope
the House will deal even-handedly with both
parties ; it will all come in aid of the new Reform

Mr. KINGSFORD, jun., a solicitor, who admitted

that 8501. had passed through their office in 1852,
had a little skirmish with the all-powerful Com-
missioners over some papers connected with Mr.
JOHNSTONE'S defence. As solicitor, he had a lien
upon them. Mr. SLADE—" We must have
them." Mr. KINGSFORD—" I protest, as they
will compromise many persons." Mr. SLADE—
"On that very account we must have them. '
Mr. KINGSFORD, jun., quite non-plussed, sends
for Mr. KINGSFORD, sen. He also protests ;it is
of no use ; Mr. SLADE only gives him Friday to
consider of it. He declares that Mr. JOHNSTONE
himself objects to their surrender. Mr. JOHN-
STONE steps forward and corroborates the state-
ment. It is all unavailing ; the unmoved Com-
missioner assures Mr. JOHNSTONE that "they have
ptker to put him where they would put Mr.
KINGSFORD." Reprieve till Friday—that is all.
On Friday it appeared that none of the gentle-
men were disposed to become martyrs, and, with
mournful protests "against such an unconstitu-
tional demand," they handed over the papers to
the limos of the Commission. Mr. SLADE for-
bore to ask whether 8501. could be constitution-
ally employed for election purposes ; perhaps he
expected that the papers ao unwillingly surren-
dered would answer that question.

As the troops who ara to be emcamped in the month
of June will have to raise their tents on the day of their
arrival in camp, and as some of the corps have not been
encamped for many years, the General Commanding-in-
Chief has direct d that a few short rules he promulgated
to these regiments, to assist them in performing this
duty with alacrity an 1 precision.
Without encumiberin,-; the subject with too many and
minute directions, the authorities cons.id.>r that by keep-

ing the principal of the following instructions in view
the officers commanding the various regiments may
beneficially exercise their men in the practice of pitch-
ing and striking their tents, and desire that such prac-
tice shall take place accordingly.
The Honourable Board of Ordnance have been re-
quested-to place two tents per regiment or battalion at
the disposal of commanding officers for this purpose.
