WHITIVORTIPS RIFLED CANYON.

The experiments with Mr. Whitworth's rifled
cannon were continued on Thursday on the South-
port coast. The practice with the 3-pounder at
long range gave results still more astonishing than
those recorded in yesterday's paper. Six shots were
tired at an elevation of 35 degrees ; the results were
i follows :

tion.

When it is remembered, that this gun weighs
only 2081 b., and that not only a range of above 51
miles was attained,—greater than has been recorded
of any gun ever made,—but that good practice was
made at that enormous distance, the epithet
" astounding" as applied to the results is fully
justified. The notice of the practice with the larger
guns is deferred to another occasion.

GUN 1130.0. Ta.—The gun vessels ordered by the
late Government from various contractors are progressing
rapidly. Messrs. Miller and Son, of Liverpool, launched
two of them—the Pelican and the Steady—several days ago,
and Mr. Charles Lungley, of Deptford Green Dockyard,
got his—the Mullet—into the water in a very forward state
on Monday last. The latter vessel was removed at once to
the Royal Victoria Dockyard, where she will be equipped
for sea. The dimensions of these vessels are—

FLOGGING IN TIIE ARMY.—Yesterday (Friday)
morning at an early hour, Private Beacroft, of the 2nd
battalion of Grenadier Guards, now in garrison duty at
Windsor, received, pursuant to: his sentence, fifty lashes
in the barrack-square, and in the presence of, the battalion.
Ho was also sentenced to 165 days' imprisonment. The
man bears an exceedingly bad character in the regiment,
having repeatedly robbed his comrades. He has also been
guilty of divers other offences against military discipline,
and we understand the greatestforbearance has been shown
to him, and varie.v.:4 punishments, short of the lash, has

TRADE MARKS.

Mr. ROEBUCK wished to ask the Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs whether any negotiations had been en-
tered into with foreign powers for the purpose of devising
means to prevent the forgery of the trade marks of our
manufacturers. He wanted to know whether any negotia-
tions were now going forward with foreign powers on this
question!.

Mr. MALINS grieved to say that they must not run
away with the ides that those offences were only committed
by foreigners, for Englishmen were just as great adepts at
this sort of imitation.

COMMERCIAL.

HONG KONG.
Business at Hong Kong has comparatively been at a
stand in consequence of the want of stock.
Cotton continues neglected in this market.
Yarn is lower, and there is little, if any, demand for low
numbers.

Piece Goods.—There has as yet been barely time to test
the market with the piece goods brought out by the two
vessels above named. Small parcels have changed hands.
Six and a half catty grey shirtings are quoted at 2 dole. 65c.
White shirtings are unchanged.
Woollens.—Long ells are much wanted. Int scarlet
would readily command 12 doll., and assorted 10 dole.,
and 11-goods Il dots. 50c. and 9 dole. 50c. respectively.
Exchanges has declined considerably since our last.
CANTON.

Business is extremely depressed. The new Custom
House officials seem to do their work well, and without
unnecessary impediments to trade.
Cotton as compared with last mail, occupied a much
worse position. The sales of the fortnight are 860 bales
only, the stock amounting to 13,000 bales. inclusive of the
quantity in the river.
Yarn has declined fully 2 dols. per pieta, and as far as
low numbers aro concerned is for the time unsaleable.
Piece Goods.—Grey shirtings have experienced a marked
improvement. The stock is, however, small, and will soon
be exhausted. White shirtinfls are unchanged.

LIVERPOOL-FEB. 17.

We had a slender attendance of millers and dealers at
market this morning, and wheat met a moderate consump-
tive demand at no improvement in our quotations of last
Tuesday. Flour was rather in limited request, but not
lower. Oats and oatmeal a slow sale, and both were un-
changed in price. Barley, beans, and peas were as last
quoted. The amount of business transacted in Indian
corn was moderate at 6d less money.

CALCUTTA, JAN. 10.
PRODUCE MARKET.—Business has been brought to a
stand in consequence of the late advance in freights. It is
evident that produce must go down to cover this rise in
freights. The only articles that are at all stiring are indigo
and raw silk. Rice is higher on account of large demands
for the Mauritius and China. Oil seeds flat, with a declin-
ing tendency. Jute lower and out of favour. Saltpetro in
less demand,
and slightly lower. Silk Piece Goods in no
demand, unless at still lower prices.
IMPORT MARKET.—In piece goods a fair business has

been done at gradually advancing prices, and there is a
general expectltion ~f t bo.tfer f.'eling in the market.
MONEY MAaKET.-31uney coutinues very easy, and ib
likely to continue so until trade recovers from the depres-
sion under which it now suffers.

ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRWEA;
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De-
bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis.
Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.
" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the
last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it
may be in his power to correct."—Loudon Medioal Gazette.

" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing Malady by translating this little book,
and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own
purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the
various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment ef
the malady."—Medical Circular.

" We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ;
bat the moderate price at which the ' brochure' is sold, places
it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—

A letter dated Corfu, February 7, says—
" The squadron under the camrnand of Rear-
Admiral Mundy, C. 8., is at anchor in the Roads.
It consists of the Hannibal. 91, bearing the Rear-
Admiral's flag, the St. Jean d'Acre, 101, the Lon-
don, 91, the Liffey, 51, and the Assurance, 4. An
excellent feeling exists between the seamen and
inhabitants of the place, and general leave is given
to each ship in rotation."

Another addition to the navy has just been made
by the launching of the Mullet gunboat from the
shipbuilding-yard of Mr. Charles Langley, Dept-
ford. The Mullet is one of a number of gunboats
intended to supply the place of those at present in
the China sera, and has been built under the im-
mediate inspection of officers belonging to Deptford
dockyard. She is of an elegant model, and pos-
sesses immense capabilities. her length between

BIRKENHEAD.

The half-yearly meeting was held on Saturday
at Birkenhead—Mr. E. G. Salisbury in the chair.
The report stated that the capital stock entitled
to dividend and in the hands of proprietors on the
31st of December last was £1,941,505 ; the loan
and mortgage debt amounted to £494,972; the 4
per cent. perpetual debenture stock was £6,170;
total, £2,442,648. The expenditure during the
half-year had been £21,429. The gross receipts
for the half-year on revenue account amounted to
£74,668, which, added to £909 brought over from
last account, made a total to credit of revenue of
£75,577. Deducting the working expenses,
£34,103; rates and taxes and passenger duty,
£`2,218; interest on loans and mortgages, £11,599,
there remained a net balance of 127,658, out of
which the directors recommended the payment of
a dividend at the rate of 2-14 per cent. per annum,
leaving £3,310. The directors regret to say that
they have not succeeded in inducing the two corn-
pantee to seal the agreements for the lease of the
Birkenhead undertaking.

The CHAIRMAN stated that with the exception
of one claim for land every liability of the company
on capital account was closed.
After a long discussion the motion for the adop-
tion of the report was carried.
The dividend, at the rate of 23 per cent. per
annum was then declared.

The meeting was made special for the purpose
of submitting the draught of the bill "for vesting
the Birkenhead Railway Company in the London
and North-Western and Great Western Railway
Companies, and for other purposes."
The resolution was adopted unanimously.

held on Friday at the London Tavern, Mr. J. W.
Childers in the chair.

he could assure them that the accounts were in no
way cooked to obtain that increase.

dividend as recommended declared, and a resolution
passed increasing the number of directors from
eight to ten. Sir R. Walter Carden, Mr. Bentley,

THAMES.

SCANDALOUS CONDUCT IN THE CHURCH Or ST.
GEORGE'S-IN-THE-EAST.—Eliza Fenwick, a dirty and
dissipated-looking woman, about 35 years of age, and stated
to be the wife of a mechanic, was brought before Mr.
Yardley, charged with being drunk and disorderly in St.
George's Church, and disturbing the congregation assem-
bled for divine worship.
Mr. Thomas Herbert, a vestryman of the parish of St.
George's, stated that in the course of the afternoon service,
and while the Rev. Mr. Richardson, the newly-elected
afternoon lecturer, was officiating, the prisoner was in
the middle aisle making a disturbance and interrupting
the service in a very unseemly manner. He found she
was intoxicated, and requested her to withdraw. Sho re-
fused to do so, and made use ola
f bad nguage. He
said to her, " I must remove you ; you are not in a fit state
to be here." She said, " D—n your eyes ; take me to my
husband," and throw herself back to resist her removal.
He said "That won't do," and, after some struggling on
her part, he lifted her up and carried her out of the church.
In answer to Mr. Yardley, the witness said that the pri-
soner interrupted the service and disquieted the congrega-

tion,
Police-constable Botto, of the K division, said the pri-
soner made a: great, disturbance in the church-yard when
she was brought out of the sacred edifice. She screamed,
give her husband a key. Her conduct, on
the church
way
halloed, and kicked, and said she wanted to go into the
to the
againtostation-house, was of the most outrageous
desoription.
The prisoner, in her defence, said she was the worse for
liquor, and that she went to the church to give her hus-
band the street door key, and then she intended to go else-
where.
Mr. Yardley—This is very improper conduct indeed. You
are not to go into St. George's church or any other church
to make a disturbance. It is an aggravation of your bad
conduct that you were intoxicated when you wont into the
church. I believe you did not go with the express inten-
tion of interrupting the service and disturbing the con-
greation. If you had done so I would certainly have sent
you to prison for a very long time. I sentence you to pay
a fine of 10s. for being drunk and disorderly.

TIIE CASE OF THE REV. MR. HATCH.-Mr.
Hatch still remains in Newgate pending the decision of the
Government as to which prison should be his place of con-
finement, pursuant to the sentence of the court. He would
have been removed iu the ordinary course to the house of
Correction at Wandsworth, immediately after his convic-
tion, but, as he had been so long in the position of chaplain
in that gaol, it was felt that there were good grounds for
refraining from sending him there as a criminal, and hence
his long detention in Newgate. The public are aware that
strong representations have been made to the Home Secre-
tary in reference to the case, and it is rumoured that bills of
indictment for perjury will be preferred at the ensuing ses-
sion of the court against the principal witnesses for the pro-
secution.

FOREIGN WINES.

Mr. BENTINCK asked the Secretary of State for Fo-
reign Affairs, as her Majesty's Government, in considera-
tion of their undertaking to obtain the reduction of the duty
on French wines, had soicited from France the promise of
prospective concessions in favour of this country, whether
the contemplated reduction of duties would not confer similar
advantages upon Spanish wines; and if so, whether Mr. Bu-
chanan had received instructions to urge on the Government
of Spain the propriety of making a corresponding conces-
sion in favour of the trade and commerce of England.
Lord J. RUSSELL was understood to say that Mr.
Buchanan had not received any such instructions as those
alluded to by the hon. . member _ _

'EASTERN COUNTIES.

It appears that on the question of i4-electing the
retiring dii ectors, and of electing two new directors
and one auditor, the result of the proxies showed
that £2.950,000 stock, representing 47,800 votes,
were recorded in favour of the re-election of Mr.
Love and Mr. Goodson, and £760,000 stock and
16,300 votes in favour of the election of Mr. D.
Waddington and Mr. Gamble to the board, and also
in favour of the election of Mr. Walforil as auditor,
showing a majority of £2,190,000 stock and 31,500
votes in favour of the re-election of Messrs. Love
and Goodson.

LONDON, TILBURY, AND SOU TREND.
The report states that the receipts for the half-
year ending the 31st of December amounted to
£33,283, and the expenditure to £17,266,
leavin
a balance of £16,016. Considerable progress bad
been made in the erection of the houses for the
new town at. Southend. The capital account showed
that £392,816 bad been expended on the Southend
line, and £201,288 on the Barking branch—total,
£79.1,104.

ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH'
The report of the directors states that the gua-
rantee secured to this company by her Majesty's
Government has been found insufficient for the pur-
pose of raising the amount necessary for the prose-
cution of this enterprise. The directors had hoped
that, in the absence of better terms, a fixed mini-
mum revenue of £34,000 a-year, added to a condi-
tional guarantee of 8 per cent. upon the new capi-
tal, might suffice for that object' especially as the
main difficulties of the undertaking were, to so large
an extent, removed by the successful submergence

WILLS AND BEQUESTS.

Lord Holland's will, which from particular
causes has been much delayed, and which has ex-
cited the interest of the public, was proved in Lon-
don,
in the principal registry of the Court of Pro-
bate, on February 20. It was executed by his
lot dship the day before his death ; the greater part
was written by his medical attendant, and finished
by the British Consul at Naples, who is one of the
witnesses thereto, his lordship having resided in
that city for some time. The will runs thus :—He
' leaves everything " to the will" of Lady Holland.
To his Royal Highness the Duke d'Aumale he
beqeaths a portrait of Prince Talleyrand ; to his
Imperial highness Prince Jerome Bonaparte he
bequeaths the portrait of the Emperor Napoleon
by Gerard ; to his friend Mr. Edward Cheney he
bequeaths his Italian paintings, which he hopes will
be worthy of his acceptance; to Mr. M. S. David-
son,fear; £5OO ; to Mrs. Smith, of Barfoot, £lOO ; and

spared in short, and, if the war was to be carried I
through successfully in spite of the disadvantage of
its premature commencement, it was necessary that
nothing should be spared. But when the question
of indemnity, to be paid by the humbled foe, is
brought forward, it may be questioned whether that
enemy can fairly be made to bear expenses which
were enormously increased by the uncalled for
hurry in which the struggle was commenced. If,
instead of opening the campaign on the Queen's
birthday, its commencement had been postponed,
as it perfectly well might have been, to a later date
and a fitter season, the Spaniards might have done
their fighting, if not for half price, at least for a
vast deal less than it has cost them. And it will be
only just that the Spanish Government should take
this into consideration when drawing its bill on the
Emperor of Morocco. We have heard great things
of the resources of the Moorish treasury, of accumu•
lated treasures, reminding one of the " Arabian
Nights ;" of heaps of gold and jewels, the guards of
which once posted, are relieved only by death, lest
they should reveal the tempting amount of thewealth
they watch over. One is apt to suspect exaggera-
tion in such tales, and, moreover, the cost of this
war, whatever it may prove when all is added up,
will unquestionably have been such as might well
stagger even a wealthier potentate than the Sove-
reign of Morocco can reasonably be supposed to be.
I am not inclined to think, however, that the
Spanish Government will show itself grasping on
this occasion, or will insist on the very last ounce
of its pound of flesh. Various reasons render a
contrary course politic and probable. Spain has no
wish to continue a war the main objects of which
have already been fully attained. She has raised
herself in her own esteem by showing that, when
the necessity arises or when she chooses to believe
that it has arisen, she is able to put in the field a
well equipped and efficient army. She has shown
that she possesses soldiers who will fight, officers to
lead them, and generals who can command—well
enough, at any rate, to baffle the slender strategy
of the Moors. My conviction is that the Spaniards,
had they to bear the whole cost of the war, would
