CITY COMMISSION OF SEWERS.

On Tuesday a court, which was very numerously at-
tended, was held for the desptch of public business ;
Mr. Deputy Peacock occupied the chair.
VOTE OF THANKS TO THE CHAIRMAN. •
Deputy LORKIN, the senior member of the court,
moved, "That the cordial thanks of this commission are
due and are hereby presented
.to Walter Anderson Pea-
cock, Esq., deputy, for his zealous and persevering at-
tention to the business of this commission, for his ur-
banity to every member, and for the valuable services
he has rendered for a period of ten years to the inhabi-
tants of this city and the public at large, whilst presiding
over this court, and aiding in carrying out the many and
varied works of public utility confided to this commis-
sion." (Hear, hear.)
Deputy DAKIN said ho had very great pleasure in se-
conding the motion, which was carried unanimously,
amidst applause.
The CHAlRMAN—Gentlemen, I am not much of a
talker at any time, and to talk about myself is rather
beyond my power. It is impossible for any man to feel
more gratified than I am by this kind and unanimous
vote. All the wealth in the world I would not appre-
ciate so much. (Hear, hear.) Whether I hold my present
position for a long or short period, or whether my con-
duct will continue to merit your approbation, I cannot
tell ; but so long as I preside over this court I will do
the best I possibly can (and I only wish I had more
talent to call to my aid) to fulfil the obligations and
duties of my office. (Cheers.)
VENTILATION OF THE SEWERS.
Mr. ABRAHAM said that several plans for ventilating
the sewers had been forwarded to him, one of which he
thought was worthy of the attention of the commission.
His object in mentioning the matter was, that this very
simple and ingenious plan might be referred to the en-
gineer and medical officer. It had two pipes, ono run-
ning from the sewer, the other from the gas main, up a
common shaft, at the top of which were two stop cocks,
which might be turned on and off, and by which the
noxious gases might h • consumed by gas.
Deputy DAKIN—With reference to that plan, is there
any calculation of the relative proportions of sulphuretted
hydrogen to the common gas, to show how much is
necessary of each for the purpose of perfect combustion ?
The general principle we all recognise, but the great thing
is the practical consideration how the two gases could be
admitted together so as to insure the perfect destruction
of both. (Hear.)
Mr. ABRAHAM said that to ascertain what quantity
of gas would be generated in a given length of sewer was
certainly a very nice question to be determinated, and
that, as other plans for the ventilation of the sewers had
been referred to the engineer and medical officer, he
trusted that the same course would be followed upon the
present occasion.
Mr. H. L. TAYLOR and Deputy HOLT both expressed
themselves in favour of the matter being referred to
the above-mentioned officers.—Referred accordingly,
The court then adjourned.

NERVOUS 'DEBILITY;
Its Causes, Symptoms, and Curc.—An Essay on SP er
roatorrheea, with Practical Observations on a safer and more
successful mode of treatment of the diseases of the Generative
System, obtained by the use of the Microscope in detecting and
distinguishing, by urinary examination, the real cause and effect of
every variety of complaint. whether arising from solitary habits,
excesses, accident, or climate, followed by practical remarks, founded
on twenty years' experience in the treatment of Impuissance,
Nervous Debility, Local Weakness, Spermatorrheea, &c. To which
are added, Commentaries on the Physiology of Marriage, with pre-
cautionary hints on the evils emanating from empirical practice,
and on the dangerous remedies advocated by various writers on

The essontial object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
accuences resulting Prom certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
which bare proauced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any
other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Ito perusal is
particularly recommended to Persons entertaining secret doubts of
their physical condition, an aro conscious of having hazarded
the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
entitled.
It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there are
principles of personal management which cannot be violated without
incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties
may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
amt how th,, evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all,
physical infirmity or functional
that there is scantly any degree of
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
The Author has for a lode; of years been engaged in an extensive
practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have
unfortunately teen too generally cOnflded to me e,re of ignorant
empirics, who inflict great injury on those WllO are Induced to place
faith in their pretensions.

THE LATE M LEON FAUCHER.

The French papers have recently announced the death
cf M. Leon Faucher, which took place a few days ago
at Marseilles, where he was attacked by typhus fever, on
Isik way to Hyeres in search of a milder climate for the
relief of his already broken health. As a member of the
Chamber of Deputies and a Minister of the Republic, as
a Fellow of the Institute of France for the division of
Moral and Political Science, and as the author of seve-
ral works, besides having been one of the most
active and able contributors to the political press of
France when it flourished in the fullest enjoyment of free-
dom and of power, the name of Ldon Faucher deserves
not to pass unnoticed here. Sprung from obscure parent-
ag.e in the south of France, and acquakited from childhood
with every form of adversity, Leon Faucher gave early
I wof of his indomitable energy and application, for even
in the benches of the school to which he was sent at
Toulouse, such was his confidence in his powers, that he
boasted he should one day be a Minister of State ; and
in the extraordinary vicissitudes of human affairs he
lived to realise that boast, and to govern his courAry
at a period of extreme agitation and danger. He
obtained in early life a remarkable proficiency in classi-
cal studies ; and his career in Paris commenced in the
humble capacity of tutor to the sons of M. Dailly, the
Postmaster of the capital. Early in the reign of Louis
Philippe he became connected with the leading organs
of the Liberal press ; first as a contributor to the
Temps, and afterwards as print pal editor of the Caurrier
_Francais ; but always a steady supporter of the opinions
of his party, the Gauche, to which he inflexibly adhered
through life. His style was clear, pungent, and argu-
mentative.

ROME, Dec. 14.—The news of the signature of a
treaty between Austria and the Western Powers
has produced the most favourable impression at

which, in the critical circumstances wherein
Europe is now placed, the wisdom of the sove-
reigns can offer for the foreign and domestic secu-
rity of the different States.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Dec. 19.—There is no truth whatever
in the reports of this Government having acceded
to the December treaty.
The intention of the British Government to raise
a foreign legion has produced a great sensation
among the public, and has set all the Russian sym-
pathisers to work in order the counteract the pro-
ject by every means in their power. Their fears
are not so much awakened by the amount of men to
be enrolled as by apprehensions of the effects of the
moral link and example. It is on this side also
perhaps that the project will be most beneficial.
Meantime not a doubt can exist that the authori-
ties of this country, and, indeed, of the greater
part of the German Governments, will strain every
nerve to hinder their subjects of all classes from
enrolment. It is even said that orders have already
been issued to this effect, and that in case indivi-
duals known or supposed to be employed on the
recruiting service should take up their residence in
any given place, they are to be ejected (augewiesen),
unless entitled by law to domicile in such places.
A report is current that this Government has
addressed notes to Paris and London, appealing,
among other things, to the love of peace of the
Western Powers, and pointing out that the Rus-
sian declarations of the 28th ult. ought to set aside
all distrust as to the sincerity of Russia, and as to
her having any mental reserves in regard to the
four points.

HOLLAND.
THE DUTCH BUDGET.
THE HAGUE, Thursday.—The Second Chamber
of the States General has adopted the provisional
credits claimed by the Goverment for the Marine
Department, and rendered necessary by the refusal
by the Assembly of the ordinary Budget.
The Budget of Ways and Means was adopted by
a majority of 47 to 13, and the house adjourned to
February 13.
The First Chamber has adopted, by a majority
of 89 against 13, the proposition of the Count It-
zenplitz, for abrogating- all the articles of the con-
stitution which guarantee the free testamentary
disposition of their property, as well as those which
abolish the signorial rights, and other claims of
like nature.

The accounts from Darmstadt of the health of
King Louis of Bavaria are somewhat more satisfac-
tory.
The Hetmann of the Don Cossacks, General Cho-
mutoff, has issued an order to the Cossacks of the
Don, in which, after setting forth the religious cha-
racter and objects of the war, he says, " Let all of
you, friends, saddle your horses, sharpen your sa-
bres, fasten firmly your dreaded pike on its shaft,
and, in the name of God and the Czar, come on !"

MAILS FOR AUSTRALIA.

GENERAL POST-OFFICE, Dec., 1854.—The Peninsular
and Oriental Steam Navigation Company having repre-
sented that, owing in part to several of their vessels
having been required by her Majesty's Government for
the exigencies of the war, they are unable to provide a
steamer for the conveyance from Singapore to Australia
of the mails which should be despatched from London on
the 4th and 9th of next month, the Postmaster• General
has made a contract with the owners of the sailing ves-
sel Lightning, for the conveyance of the mails of
January next, round the Cape of Good Hope.
The Lightning, is appointed to sail from Liverpool
on the sth January next, and all letters and newspapers
for New South \Vales, Victoria, South Australia, and
Van Diemen's Land, posted in London up to the even-
ing of the 4th January, or posted or received in Liver-
pool up to the morning of the sth January, and not ad•
dressed to be sent by any other vessel will be forwarded
by the Lightning.

The packet rates of postage will be chargeable upon
letters, but newspapers will not be liable to any postage.
These postmasters whose instructions direct them to
forward letters to Liverpool by cross post, will send in
the same manner, on the present occasion, letters posted
at their offices addressed to Australia.

MINIE RIFLES.

Major REED asked whether such rifles as may be col-
lected after an engagement are distributed as soon as pos-
sible among those regiments previously armed with the
old musket, or whether they are placed in store ; also, if it
was the intention of her Majesty's Government to substitute
the Itlinie rifle for the present musket generally throughout
the army in the Crimea, and, if so, whether any and what
measures had been taken to carry out that object ?
Mr. S. HERBERT was not able to give any answer to
the question as to what was done with the rifles found in
the field, but, of course, it would create much confusion
if Annie rifles were only here and there distributed
amongst divisions armed with the common weapon.
(Hear, hear.) With respect to the intention of the Go-
vernment for the future, it was intended to arm the whole
army in the Crimea with the Minio rifles, and they were
being issued as fast as they could be brought in.

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Fresh up, to-day, the arrivals of E❑glish wheat were
very moderate, and the show of samples of both red and
white was sin4,ll. As the attendance of both town and
country millerg was limited, the demand was in a sluggish
state, at Monday's currency.
The show of foreign wheat was small ; nevertheless,
sales progressed slowly, at late rates.
In floating cargoes, very little was doing.
We had less inquiry for barley and malt, at barely sta-
tionary prices.
The oat trade was firm, and, in some instances, the
quotations had an upward tendency.
Beans and peas were very dull. Flour was unaltered in
value.

FOREIGN ENLISTMENTS.

Colonel DUNNE inquired if any officers—mentioning
the name of one—had yet been retained to command some
of the troops to bo raised under the Foreign Enlistment
Bill?
Mr. S. HERBERT said the bill had not yet received
Parliamentary sanction, and until that bad taken place
Government had no authority to move in the matter.
CHRISTMAS RECESS.
Lord J. RUSSELL gave notice that, in the event of the
Foreign Enlistment Bill passing to-night, he should propose
to-morrow that the house, at its rising, should adjourn
until Tuesday, the 23rd January, 1855.

THE ENLISTMENT OF FOREIGNERS BILL.
Upon the order of the day to proceed with the third
reading of this bill,
Mr. E. DERING moved, as an amendment, that it
read a third time that day six months; and in so doing,be
contended that the Government had not shown that
they in this act intended to enter into any proper
treaty with a foreign State, and that they were about to
enter into an engagement with a proper body of men pro-
perly equipped, officered and ready for service. Had they
shown that it would have been quite different such
a course would have been quite in accordance with
the proper spirit of the laws of internationality. He
wished to know what the Government would gain by
the engagement of these foreign mercenaries, unless they
showed that 10,000 of our countrymen could not be
brought into the field in less than six months. In using
the term mercenaries he did not intend to cast any slur upon
the German Legion who fought with us during the
former continental wars. They were a brave and gal-
lant band, and glad would he be to see such men
fighting shoulder to shoulder with our - Allies in the

ROME, Dec. 14.—The news of the signature of a
treaty between Austria and the Western Powers
has produced the most favourable impression at

Europe is now placed, the wisdom of the sove-
reigns can offer for the foreign and domestic secu-

CONJECTURES ABOUT THE FALL OF

SEBASTOPOL.

Some English officers from the Crimea, who are
invalided, have passed through Paris. They expres-
sed an opinion that the English troops would eat their
Christmas puddings in Sebastopol, and there are
letters from French officers in the camp in which
it is stated that the fall of Sebastopol before New-
year's-day is certain. It is said in the political
salons that the Emperor Napoleon has expressed
the same opinion. Such, however, is not the
general impression here, nor do some of the su-
perior officers of the army in Paris, who receive
letters from the Crimea, believe that it is possible,
after so many disasters from the season of the year,
and the long and heavy rains which have retarded
the operations of the Allies, for the Allies to become
sufficiently formidable for the speedy reduction of this
great stronghold of the Russians. On the other
hand, there can be no doubt that the army of
Prince Menschikoff is in a very bad condition.
Even the Soldiers' Friend, of Vienna, which has
systematically related everything favourable to
Russia and unfavourable to the Allies, has changed
its tactics, and now tells us that Prince Menschi-
koff has informed his Government that he is un-
equal to resist any very serious offensive operation
by the Anglo-French army.

SMITHFIELD.

Although the supply of beasts on sale to-day was very
moderate, the demand for all breeds ruled inactive. In
prices, however, scarcely any change took place. We were
very scantily supplied with sheep, which moved off slowly,
at barely late rates. Calves—the number of which was
limited—were dull, at Monday's currency. Pigs com-
manded very little attention, on lower terms.
Mikh cows were heavy, at from 144. to 191. each, includ-
ing their small calf.
