MATH OP TIM BISHOP OP SALISBURY.

An illness, as severe as it was sudden, has term inated
in the death of this respected prelate, in the 63d year of his
age, and after occupying the see of Salisbury for a period
of 14 years. This melancholy event, whibh was perfectly
unanticipated until within 4$ hours preeeding. its occur-
rence, happened about 6 o'elock yesterday evening. On the
previous Monday his lordship presided at a meeting of the
Church Missionary Society, held in Salisbury, and enter-
tained a party of the clergy to dinner at the palace. On the
day following he proceeded to Portsmouth to witness the
embarkation of troops for the ,Bast, and while so doing,
caught a violent cold, which, supervening on a morbid
condition of the liver, induced constipation and a complete
derangement of the biliary functions, resulting in black
jaundice, and terminating in death.

EXPLOSION AND LOSS OF LIFE AT COTON'S FIREWORK
MANUFACTORY.—Yesterday evening, between 6 and 7
o'clock, an explosion took place at the firework menu-.
factory of Mr. Coton, in the angle of Charles-street and
Elizabeth-place, Westminster-road, by which the pre-
mises were set on fire and destroyed, and the lives of
Mr. Coton and three other persons sacrificed. Mrs.
Coton, her sister-in-law, and two children were fortu-
nately extricated from the building without suffering
much injury, having been at the moment of the explosion
in the basement floor. The great quantity of fireworks of
all sorts in the-premises did not all explode at the same
moment, but continual explosions lasted for some time,
to the terror of the neighbourhood, the rockets, Roman
lights, &c., being discharged in all directions, and
driving back on all sides the mob assembled to witness
thb scene. The firemen from the different stations were
quickly in attendance, and immense volumes of water
were poured upon the flames. It was, however, with
great difficulty, from the combustible nature of the con-
tents of the place, that the fire was at length extin-
guished. The cause of this fatal conflagration is not
known. Mr. Coton and a boy had gone to the top floor
of the manufactory for the purpose of papering some
fireworks almost immediately before the explosion took
place.

DEPARTURES FOR AUSTRALII.—The departures from
the port of London for the Australian colonies during
the week show in increase. They have comprised alto-
('ether 11 vessels, six to Sydney, with an aggregate
urden of 3,122 tons ; three to Port Philip, with an
aggregate burden of 1,986 tons ; one to New Zealand of
529 tons ; and one to Hobart Town of 379 tons. Their
total capacity was, consequently, 6,016 tons. The rates
of freight are well supported, and exhibit a further ten-
dency to improvement.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

Mr. LAXARD, adverting to the statement of Lord
J. Russell that new proposals had been made to Russia,
wished to know if, in event of the Russian troops having
withdrawn from the Principalities, Russia would revert
to the status quo ante belluin—that was, would the old
treaties between Russia and Turkey remain still in
force.

Lord J. RUSSELL said the Emperor of Russia had
been requested to evacuate the principalities, because it
was a wrongful occupation ; but the • question of esta-
blishing peace between Turkey and Russia would still
remain a matter for negotiation after the evacuation had
took place.
Mr. LAYARD complained that this was no answer
to his question, but he gave notice that on an early day
he would bring the question under the notice of the
house.

ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA,
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
n relation to the Treatment and Cure of the Impuissant and Sexual
Hypochondriacs,
Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.

To which is added, an ESSAY en SEXUAL DEBILITY, by the

Editor.

"Dr. rickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informa as; 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 ower to correct."

thisers:and ' Medical FrisncliVare mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
could flnd its way into the hands of those who suffer 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 apermatorrhcea, 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.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.-MONDAY.

At intervals in the course of settling the accounts con-
nected with the recent meeting at Liverpool, business on
coming events was carried on with considerable briskness.
The movements of most interest and importance were
the return of the Derby favourite, Autocrat, to 6to 1,
taken to 2001.: the improved position assigned to Dervish,
and the support which was given to Canute. So strongly,
indeed, did the tido of favour flow in upon Canute, that
from 1,000.t0 10 laid three times at the commencement,
scarcely half the odds were obtainable at the close.
In the city, 12 to 1 had been taken freely about Dervish.
King Tom was backed at 7 to 1 and 13 to 2, and the odds
quoted against Wild Huntsman were taken in the aggre.
gate to 1351.

The betting on the Handicap Races was for the most
part to small sums, Lerrywhout and Feversham were in
good demand for the Dancaster Handicap Stakes, and
Ariosto, Royalist, and Lamprocles, for the Great Metro-
politan. Closing prices :

WILLIAM in the very hey-day of his pride, at the
very moment when he was the champion of a
uccessful revolution, and when the country was
torn by civil dissensions and intestine commo-
tions. We earnestly hope that their decision
will be such as to prove most conducive to the
honour and interests of this country.
Why not pay our gallant Allies, the French,
for a large extra number to settle the question ?
They have plenty troops, all ready, and brave as
they are willing.

We have it now on the authority of Lord
CLARENDON himself, that General HESS really did

obstruct the movements of OMER PACHA in the

Principalities. "We received from the Austrian

Government the fullest assurance that no difficulty

should be put in the way of the Turks in their
pursuit of the Russians into whatever part they

pleased, or in their crossing into Bessarabia ;

still great complaints arose, and hindrances were
put in, th 3 way of OMER PACHA." Not only this,

but so serious were they, that England and
France immediately remonstrated in the strongest
manner. Austria met them with regrets, and

professed ignorance of the deeds of her Generals

and Count BuoL graciously arranged for a mixed
commission at Vienna, consisting of himself and
one member for each of the Allies, to hear the

complaints, and to answer them satisfactorily.
Here, then, we have on the best evidence proof
that Austria kept Russia at ease on the Pruth,
and liberated the reinforcements, who, under the
inspiration of superstition and brandy, assaulted
our position at Inkerman. Lord CLARENDON is

now witness for the slain on the sth of November
that Austria was a contributor to the slaughter of

hat day. It is, indeed, very questionable

whether, if Austria had not entered the Princi-
palities, Russia dare have moved sufficient troops

;0 the Crimea to have hazarded the attack at

Inkerman. True, flue miserable defence is, that
" the Austrian representative at Constantinople,

and the Austrian Generals in the Principalities
were not acting in accordance with their in-
structions, but contrary to them." But can

Lord CLARENDON believe such diplomatic palaver?
Does he not know that the servants of such de-
spotic Governments as Austria are all trained to
be birched for Royal delinquencies, and to bear the
disgrace of disobedience to orders, when to publish
the orders themselves would discredit or incon-

venience their Governments ? Least of al 4, wil

IRISH UNIVERSITY REFORM.— All official notification
from the Board of Trinity College announces the con-
templated relaxation of the statute which debarred Dis-
senters and Roman Catholics from attaining the honours
and rather scanty emoluments attached to the scholar-
ships. The board, it seems, have resolved to create
some additional scholarship, " which shall lie open to
students of all religious denominations, without distinc-
tion." They are to be called " Non-foundation Scholar
ships," and will be tenable for the same period and
endowed with the same emoluments• as the chartered
scholarships, and the candidates for both will be exa-
mined at the same time and in the same subjects. Four
of the new scholarships will be filled up at next Trinity
Term examination.

A firm owning extensive aaw mills at Gloucester is
engaged in getting ready 2,000 wooden huts for the
French army in the Crimea, to order of the French
Government. These huts, packed in " shocks," bound
with iron hoops, will be sent from Gloucester by the
Great Western Railway to Basingstoke, there trans-
ferred into the trucks of the London and South Wes-
tern line, and so delivered alongside the ship in the docks
at Southampton.

THE STEAM TRANSPORTS MEDWAY
AND ORINOCO.

We have been requested to give insertion to the fol•
lowing :

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Pimlico, 18th December, 1854.

SIB,—By the last mail from the East I have received
a letter from an officer on board the Medway steam
transport in the Black Sea, an extract from which I beg
to annex, believing that the error referred to is not the
result of any spirit of partiality in reporting the action
in question, but rather of an oversight of the claims of
individual ships, and that therefore you will not hesitate
to do justice to the transport service by inserting this
letter in an early impression of your paper, the perusal
of ty.hich will give that satisfaction to the officers and
men of the Medway and Orinoco which they as well de-
serve as those of the Cambria and Colombo. Trusting
to your generosity in this respect—l beg to remain, sir,
your obedient servant, M.

(Extract.)
" I wisl . much to see an error in the Times corrected
with reference to the services performed by the transports
on the day of the bombardment of Sebastopol.
"The Cambria and Colombo get more credit that any
other ships, whereas we did as much as them, and have net
been mentioned for our services on that day.
" The editor of the Times could not have been aware of
what we did compared with the others, else he could not
possibly have given such undue credit to two ships, to the
exclusion of ours.
" An officer came from the Britannia to say that the
Agamemnon had signals for assistance flying, and Admiral
Dundas ordered the nearest transport steamer to go and
assist her. We were just heading in for her when we saw
her coming out by herself ; and it turned out that she
wanted another man•of-war to assist at the fort, which
they might have knocked down if all the ships had been as
close as the Agamemnon was. She and the Albion were
ashore and gave Fort Constantine a good hammering. It
is reported nearly all the gins were dismounted by the
fleet ; so if they had had daylight a little longer they would
have done Czar Nicholas's property no small damage.
" We don't look for special mention of anything we do;
but we do think wo deserve at least the same notice in the
papers, which we all anxiously read, as other ships of the
transport service.
" The correction of this in the Times would make many
a man well pleased in this ship and the Orinoco."

CRIMINAL COURT.--(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
James Pugh, a respectable-looking man, was indicted
for wilful and corrupt perju4.

Mr. Montague Chambers and Mr. Parry prosecuted,
and Mr. Ballantine defended.

It appeared from the statement of the learned counsel,
and se much of the evidence as had been gone into up to
the time of going to press, thA the defendant
had !formerly been in business as a tailor, but
being unsuccessful in business in the year 1852 went
into the employment of a Mr. Andrews, a tailor, of
Cook-street, as commercial traveller. Whilst so engaged
he obtained from Messrs. Grayson and Burwash, the
well-known jewellers of G,olden-square, some buttons,
sleeve-links, and other articles of jewellery. These he
had, it appeared, obtained upon his account ; and
upon Messrs. Burwash bringing an action against Mr.
Andrews, the defendant not being forthcoming, they
failed to prove that the defendant had the proper autho-
rity to pledge the credit of Mr. Andrews for the goods
in question, and the verdict was given for the de-
fendant, Mr. Andrews. After that the than plaintiffs
(Messrs. Burwash) sought to obtain a new trial, and
the defendant made an affidavit ander the new Common
Law Procedure Act, upon which affidavit was the per-
jury assigned.

The case, which was of a very complicated character,
was proceeding when we went to press, and not likely
to conclude until a late hour in the evening.
In the New Court during the day the only case■
tried were prisoners for passing bad money. It ap-
peared from the evidence that there are in circulation
some very ingeniously constructed base gold coin, which
are most difficult to detect; being stamped out of a very
hard metal, and beautifully gilt.

THE BALTIC.

A letter from St. Petersburg, of the sth, in the
Hamburg Correspondent—a source which we have
already noted as more than suspicious—gives us
some curious items of Russian naval activity :
" According to accounts from Aland, of the Bth
ult. there were at that date eight or nine English
vessels of war in sight of Ledsund.

" Some detachments of the Russian fleet anchored
at Sweaborg have made cruises without having met
with any of the enemy's vessels. On the 10th No-
vember the Smiely and Rurick steam frigates, having
the transport Volga in tow, arrived at Sweaborg
from Crolistadt, and on the same day a squadron of
four sail of the line and four steam frigates, under
the command of Rear-Admiral Rumanzow, left
Sweaborg for Cronstadt. On the 16th several gun-
boats arrived at Sweaborg from Abo."
London, England, 1854-12-19

TROOPS FROM INDIA FOR THE WAR.

There seems to be a doubt entertained, and in well-
informed quarters too (says the Poona Observer, of Nov.
12), as to whether the 78th Highlanders, whose regular
tour of service in the East is nearly ended, will form a
part of the force which, whether the Shah accepts the
protection of the Allies or not, will certainly be sent
from India to Persia in March or April next. This gal-
lant corps, though not so strong in numbers as some of
her Majesty's regiments on this establishment, oan bring
close upon 800 bayonets into the field. We believe, for
our own part, that the 78th Highlanders will form A
portion of the Persian field force, and that that fine re•
giment, her Matjbe)a,tny'sw 4th Foot, at Delgaum—upwards
of 900 strong, we understand—will also be despatched
Dtholwranns,(athloenBgti with our
o theo]dstrongest friends of
Europeanthe R Royal l County
regiment
on this establishment. We understand that the force is
to be composed entirely of Europeane, to be drawn from
this country and Europe and that France will furnish
her quota—the whole to consist of 20,000 men.
We hear nothing said about artillery,ht be made up but sou l d
imagine that, a very strong brigade might
from the Indian Presidencies. The Bombay Artillery
—both horse and foot batteries—has been declared Ly
the highest military authority (the late Sir Charles
Napier) to be quite equal to the Royal Artillery in every
respect ; the Bengal Artillery are, we should think, very
little, if at all, inferior to either, and we imagine the be-
nighted are not behind the sister presidencies, so there
can be no difficulty in selecting a strong force of this
arm from India.

PRUSSIA.

The question of voting an address to the IV ng
was discussed in the second Prussian Chamber on
Friday. BaroniVincke's address was put and lost,
and M. Bethmann-Hollweg's was withdrawn. M.
Manteuffel, the Prussian Premier, spoke briefly and
said, " There is no necessity for an address,
although the house can vote one if it wills to do so.
In that case, however, Ministers, considering the.
present state of political affairs, will decline to ex-
plain the foreign relations of Prussia. We are at
peace with all powers, and must act with reserve."
M. Vincke in the course of the debate lamented
that Prussia was isolated from the great powers.
" Not from Russia !" triumphantly exclaimed M.
Gerlach, a leader of the dominant court party—
" Not from Russia, a great power, and some say
the greatest."
