CRIMINAL CODE OF MALTA.
In reply to a question of the Earl of SHAFTESBURY,
The Duke of NEWCASTLE was understood to say
as the new criminal code of Malta had received
approval- of the authorities of the island, the
tthhaet
Government did not think it right to send it
back for reconsideration, and they proposed that
the whole, with the exception of the chapter relat-
ing to religious offences, should be put in force by an
Order of Council. This chapter would be deferred for
further consideration.

Editor.

"Dr. Pickford. Is known to English readers by his frequent erect-
oat contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs as, that he has addressed himself to the nos-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall letect any
other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his blower to correct."
—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851. The tribe of 'Quiet Sympa-
thisers,' and Medical Friends,'are mercilessly exposed ; and If this book
could end its way into the hands of thoso who saffcr from the com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
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 Spermatorrheea, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."—Modleal Circular, June 16, 1852.

CANCER HOSPITAL.—Yesterday, his Grace the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury preached a most impressive sermon
to a crowded congregation, at the parish church of St.
Mary, Newington, in aid of the Cancer Hospital, 1,
Cannon-row, Parliament-street, and West Brompton.
His Grace took his text from Hebrews, 13 cjlap., 16th
verse—" But to do good and to communicate forget not ;
for with such sacrifices God is well pleased." In appli-
cation whereof his lordship referred to the great suffer-
ings from that awful disease for which the institution
had been specially established to alleviate ; and the good
effect which was likely to result from the greater exten-
sion of its sphere of usefulness, concluding by a pow-
erful and pathetic appeal for accession of funds, which
produced a very liberal collection.

1 FIE INFAMOUS COMPULSORY VACCI-
-NATION ACT.—People of England,—By this law we are not
only chained, under pain of fine and impriscninent, to the chariot
wheels of Doctors and their false and scandalous theories. but worse
than al!, the most loathsome diseases are by vaccination introduced
into the.bodies of our children, besides scrofula and consumption.
Now that the law Is passed, doctors themselves admit that this may
be the effect of vaccination.—Sce the " Lancet," July 29, 1854,
How much more of doctor t,utting and trading are we to have in the
Houses of Parliament ? Are honourable members aware that they
suffer with the rest, and that their money is no sort of protection ?
Again we say read the letters addressed to the British College•. of
Health, New road, London, on the subject of Vaccination; which
may he'had by post (gratis) on forwarding a postage stamp.—lssued
by the BRITISH COLLEGE of HEALTH, New-road, London.

THE BLACK SEA.

An official despatch from Odessa reached Vienna
late on Saturday stating that the French and Eng-
lish fleets were seen off Sebastopol on the 30th, the
steamers having transports in tow. This news was
conveyed from Sebastopol to Odessa in a day, and
immediately telegraphed through to St. Peters-
burg. It is inferred from the wording of the de-
spatch that the expedition proceeded eastward.
The intelligence is of a later date than that received
from Constantinople. Steamers were arriving at
Varna up to the 25th ult. with materiel, ammuni-
tion, and provisions.

Private letters speak variously as to the amount
of the force employed in the important operations
at the Crimea. Some speak of 75,000 men, while
others make them 95,000. In any case the fullest
confidence is expressed in the success of the expedi-
tion.

A telegraphic despatch from Constantinople, of
July 30, says the Turkish fleet has sailed for Varna
with the pontoons and all the transports. Salina
is burnt.

THE BRITISH EXPEDITION.
The following has been received to-day from
Marseilles :

" VARNA, July 30.—Sir George Brown has re-
turned in the Fury, in which vessel he entered the
harbour of Sebastopol in the night and remained
till dawn. The Fury was fired at both with shot
and shell, but she suffered no damage.
" The cholera is subsiding in the English camp.
The deaths do not exceed 16 daily.
" Preparations are being made for an immediate
advance of the allied troops.
" Vessels from Varna are subjected to a quaran-
tine of five days at Constantinople."
London, England, 1854-08-08

ITALY.

A letter from Parma of the 29th ult. announces
that the court-martial appointed to try the indi-
viduals implicated in the revolt of the 22d held
its first sitting on that day. Several of the ac-
cused were examined, and it appeared from the
disclosures made by one of the chiefs, who was
wounded and arrested on the 22d, that he and
his companions had been led astray by procla-
mations clandestinely printed, and bearing the
signature of Mazzini.

THE GIIN BOATS.

The Surveyor of the Navy, Captain Sir Baldwin
Walker, paid another visit to Woolwich Dockyard, yes-
terday, to facilitate and accelerate the fitting and depar-
ture of the despatch gun-boats to the Baltic.
The Lynx, screw steam despatch gun-boat, Lieutenant-
Commander Luce, having had her engines fitted by
John Penn and Son, at their establishment at Deptford,
was taken down the river yesterday afternoon to be
masted and made ready for sea as soon as possible.
The rendezvous just opened at Greenock, on the Clyde,
has already been extremely successful in entering first-
class seamen for her Majesty's service. 120 have joined,
and another draught, for the Lynx despatch gun-vessel,
Lieutenant• Commander Luce, has just been forwarded
to Woolwich. The splendid opportunities of winning
prize-money speedily obtain hands for the gun-vessels.

THE RUSSIAN STEAM-ENGINES.
. - • - - . • 41,n, : --
machinery that was constructed tor _Kaman ships of
war, in order that it may be fitted to some large store
and troop-ships, purchased by the Government, at
Blackwall. We hear, however, that the contractors
persist in their refusal to give up the engines ; and the
chances are that an expedition to the Clyde will be ne-
cessary to capture the enemy's steam-engines. Those
old pensioners, "John Doe and Richard Roe," it is ex-
pected, will be called out to do duty once more, and
head this new northern enterprise.

A mail for the Baltic fleet will be made up and for-
warded through Belgium to Dantzic this evening. A
mail will also be made up this evening, the Bth inst., for
the army in Turkey and the fleet in the Black Sea, to
be forwarded via Marseilles.

THE BLACK SEA.

An official despatch from Odessa reached Vienna
late on Saturday stating that the French and Eng-
lish fleets were seen off Sebastopol on the 30th, the
steamers having transports in tow. This news was
conveyed from Sebastopol to Odessa in a day, and
immediately telegraphed through to St. Peters-
burg. It is inferred from the wording of the de-
spatch that the expedition proceeded eastward.
The intelligence is of a later date than that received
from Constantinople. Steamers were arriving at
Varna up to the 25th ult. with materiel, ammuni-
tion, and provisions.

Private letters speak variously as to the amount
of the force employed in the important operations
at the Crimea. Some speak of 75,000 men, while
others make them 95,000. In any case the fullest
confidence is expressed in the success of the expedi-
tion.

A telegraphic despatch from Constantinople, of
July 30, says the Turkish fleet has sailed for Varna
with the pontoons and all the transports. Sulina
is burnt.
London, England, 1854-08-08

MARSEILLES.

On vessels from this port, entering the ports of Nice and
Genoa, a five days' quarantine is imposed 2 • rt Leghorn
and Civita Vecchia, six days; at Naples, 10 days at the
Lazaret of Nisida ; and in the porta of Spain, 10 days at
the Lazaret of Mahon.
London, England, 1854-08-08

SPAIN.

MADRID, August 2.—A Royal decree authorises
the existence of the Governing Juntas, and allows
the continuance of the armaments for public safety;
but the Juntas are only to adopt the title of " Con-
sultative and Auxiliary Juntas."
Another decree suspends the execution of the
decisions of those Juntas which suppress or modify
taxes and other sources of national revenue until
the Government and the Cortes shall have adopted
measures upon the subject.
A third decree restores provisionally the opera-
tion of the law on the press of 1837.
The Madrid Gazette contains a list of numerous
military promotions and nominations of governors
of provinces. General Jose de la Concha is ap-
pointed
Captain-General of Cuba, and General
Manuel Crespo Governor of the Philippine Islands.
The barricades have almost entirely disappeared.
Lord Howden arrived in Madrid to-day.

water, or the disagreeable and unhealthy atmosphere gr''
generated in damp cellars. It is taken intckoonsideratioa
that the Esquimax and Indians when:i*---or
companions are frost-bitten rub the parts affected with p
snow, and seldom fail to alleviate the sufferings of
fellow-creatures, and their statement that if they
were to apply water-warm the parts affected would
be irreparably injured, it may be worth while to wash
a cholera patient in cold instead of warm water,
when he is taken with the cold chilly stage of the
disease. Every person must be aware of the fine glow of
heat which they feel in a cold winter's day after washing
in water of the temperature outside, and the contrary
unpleasant sensation they experience after washing in
warm water at the same period of the year.
SHEERNESS.—Four more colliers from London have
put in he-re-With cholera cases on board. They are all
under the medical treatment of Dr. Smith of this place.
This gentleman, having had considerable experience
when abroad, has hitherto been most fortunate. In one
instance now under treatment, the captain's wife and
child were in the last stage of severe English cholera ;
both were prostrated; the child, a boy of six years of age,
was in a state of collapse ; but fortunately both are now

. •
recovering.
MANCHESTER.—'We regret 'to state that two deaths
have occurred in Manchester, which, from the testimony
of the medical gentleman who attended them, were
clearly cases of malignant cholera. Mrs. Fothergill,
wife of a bookkeeper, residing in Carter-street, Chorl-
ton-upon-Medlock, died after twenty-two hours' illness.
This case, however, may be considered as
an importa-
tion from Liverpool. She had been to that town to
attend the funeral of her daughter-in-law, who had died
of cholera. On her return to Manchester on Friday she
had every symptom of the same disease, and died on
Sunday morning- The second case is that of a man
named George Foster, residing in Stamford-street,
Hulme, whose death occurred after twenty-five hours
illness. In this Instance also there is no doubt that
malignant cholera was the cause of death. Diarrhoea
has been very prevalent in some parts of the town, in-
habited by the Irish, and a few deaths have
occurred during the last few day's.

Emperor of Russia, but where was the use after the
loan had been subscribed for that a stop should be put

The proviso was negatived without a division.
On the question that the bill do pass, the house

BRIBERY, &c., BILL.
Lord J. RUSSELL—I believe, sir, that you wii.
take the chair at 2 o'clock to-morrow. I was in hopes
that we should have had to-day from the Lords the bill
with respect to bribery and corrupt practices at elections;
hail the house sat an hour later I have no doubt we
should have received it. However, I believe lam keep-
ing within the orders of the house when I say, that as it
is of great importance that the bill should receive the
Royal assent early—l hope it will on Thursday. I shall
move that the Lords' amendments be taken into con-
sideration to-morrow if they be received by that time.
Mr. WALPOLE—At two o'clock ?
Lord J. RUSSELL intimated his assent.
RETURNS.
On the motion of Mr. HUME, the following returns

day of September, 1852, respecting the appointing of
officers of her Majesty's service to officers heretofore held
only by military officers of the East India Company.

mands of the army under each of the Presidencies in
India, distinguishing the number of those commands

TIUS.

The rendezvous just opened at Greenock, on the Clyde,
has already been extremely successful in entering first-
class seamen for her Majesty's service. 120 have joined,
and another draught, for the Lynx despatch gun-vessel,
Lieutenant-Commander Luce, has. just been forwarded
to Woolwich. The splendid opportunities of winning
prize-money speedily obtain hands for the gun-vessels.

THE RUSSIAN STEAM-ENGINES.
A vessel has been sent to the Clyde to bring over the
machinery that was constructed for Russian ships of
war, in order that it may be fitted to some large store
and troop-ships, purchased by the Government, at
Blackwall. We hear, however, that the contractors
persist in their refusal to give up the engines; and the,
chances are that an expedition to the Clyde will be ne-
cessary to capture the enemy's steam-engines. Those
old pensioners, "John Doe and Richard Roe," it is ex-
pected, will be called out to do duty once more, and
head this new northern enterprise.

A mail for the Baltic fleet will be made up and for-
warded through Belgium to Dantzic this evening. A
mail will also be made up this evening, the Bth inst., for
the army in Turkey and the fleet in the Black Sea, to
be forwarded via Marseilles.
