gers which surrounded the subject. He did not think it to
be his duty to enter into the other topics, which it would be
impossible to discuss with the least hope of coming to any

satisfactory result. He should therefore pass them over
without waiving his right to state his opinions upon them
when a fitting opportunity offered. The duty of the house
at this time was to decline the multiplication of these verbal

declarations,for bymultiplying them out of
iplace theywould
only amount to so much verbiage. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. B. OSBORNE said that the right hon. gentleman
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, after telling the house

and the country that the House of Lords had committed a

gigantic innovation, seemed willing, when pressed for
money, to put the insult offered to him in his pocket and to
defer all consideration of the constitutional question to
another time. He neither agreed with the Chancellor of
the Exchequer nor with the noble lord the member for

Marylebone, but he would just ask who it was that called
upon the house to proceed to action ? Who was it that got
up, and forgetting the silence imposed upon him urged the

PUGILISM.

JOSEPH Goss (or NORTHAMPTON) AND BODGER
CRITTCHLEY (OF BIRMINGHAM), FOR LlOO A-SlDE.—Al-
though these combatants are both provincials, they are
well known to the metropolitan patrons of pugilism,
having before contended in the London ring, Goss having
met and defeated the game Rooke, while Crutchley had to
succumb to the artistic Boa Tyler. In the present match
the belligerents were confined to 10 stone, and when they
went to scale both were found to be within the prescribed
limits, there not being more than a pound difference in
their specific gravity. Goss trained at Northampton,
Crutchley had been backed by Bob Brettle, of Birmingham,
and credit is due to his trainer, Jem Hodgkis, for the con-
dition in which he brought his man to the ring.
The start
had been arranged to take place at five o'clock a.m., and
this judicious arrangement caused matters to terminate in
a satisfactory manner, on a spot of ground near to where
Dan Thomas obtained his victory over Gillam, of Brighton.
The ring was formed by the commissary, and when these
arrangements had been completed the belligerents stepped.
within the ropes. Goss won the toss for corners, but this
was not much advantage, for there was little or no sun. In
betting Crutchley was the favourite, his friends freely lay-
ing the odds of 5 to 4.
By half-past eight o'clock the men had received the
finishing touch from their seconds, and were conducted to
the scrateh. Many were the changes that occurred., in this
protracted and arduous struggle. Now would the, gallant
Brum have a decided superiority, and again the. tide of
battle would turn in a most unmistakeable ma: finer in
favour of his antagonist. For unflinching gameness both
men proved themselves of equal worth, In the w hole 120
determined rounds were fought, occupying three b .ours and
twenty minutes, when Brettle, finding that his u an had no
chance, threw up the sponge for Crutchley. Go ss, for the
last twenty rounds, had had the " trump card" 4n I hand, his
youth and perseverance having prevailed over the tact,
skill, and judgment of the Brum.

Mrs. Ross, the mother of the champ;son. rifleman,
is the daughter of the late Colin M'Cree, Erai., of Cornbill,
Perth, who was a large planter in Demerara and South
America. She is a lady of comparatively short stature, but
many of her feats with gun and rod are record ed along the
banks of the Tay and on the moors and rivers in.Aberdeen-
shire, and many a heavy salmon has she he tided, and
brought down not a few moorfowl. One of ha c shots is
well known among the tenantry on the estate al 7 Aboyne,
where in 1849 or 1850 Mrs. Ross killed a g.Tan se with a
single rifle bullet at a distance of a hundred yards.—

bour of Portland consists of the following vessi ls:—
The Colossus, 80, Capt. Francis Scott, C. 8., bearing

On Monday courts-martial were held on board
the flag-ship Impregnable, 104, in Hambaze, on
John Roberts and Enos Dyer, able seamen, and
Henry Schilling and Henry Cocking, ordinary
seamen, belonging to the screw steam-ship Orion,
91, Capt. John B. Frere, for insubordination. Capt.
A. C. Key, C. 8., presided. John Roberts was
charged with having, on the 4th inst., refused to
scrub a hammock, and, when brought before Com-
mander Baker, of continuing, to refuse, and of say-
ing " that he and others agreed to do no more
work ;" and, when brought before Capt. Frere, of
still persisting and saying, " He didn't care a -
for all the captains and admirals in the service."
The prisoner denied having used this language, but,
pleaded " guilty" in other respects, and was seci.
tenced to receive 50 lashes, to be imprisoned e.nd
kept to hard labour for two years, and then to be
dismissed the service. Henry Cocking, charged
with the same offence, with the exception of the
bad language, pleaded "guilty," and sentenced to
receive 50 lashes and be imprisoned 18 months.
The other two pleaded " guilty," and were sen-
tenced to receive 50 lashes and be imprisoned 12
months.
The paddle-wheel steam•tender Avon, G. Day
second master commanding, got up steam on Mon-
day in Hamoaze and proceeded to Devonport, dock-

the month as far as it has gone, has revived the
annual alarm of failure in the potato crop. Already
some disagreeable reports have been put in circu-
lation, which, on closer investigation, have proved.;
to be almost utterly without foundation.

TER SOUTH WESTERN AVD EXETER

RAILWAY.

The Exeter and Yeovil Railway—the first idea of
which was originated as long back as 1844, com-
pleting the communication between Exeter and
London by the same route as the old coach road—
is now finished, under the London and South-
Western Company's auspices, and is to be opened
to the public to-morrow. Through what contests
of broad and narrow gauge—through what panics
—through what absurdities of legislation this rail-
way has been carried in the long interval between
1844 and 1855, when the bill finally passed, it
would be tedious and unnecessary to relate. Suffice
it to say that the people of Exeter have been
throughout persistent in their endeavour" to stand
upon their aid ways," while the London and South-
Western Company have been no less constant in
supporting them.
The public have been long familiar with the rail-
road from London to Salisbury, which city was for
I a long period represented in Parliament by a former
chairman of the South-Western Company, the late
Mr. Chaplin, M.P. The extension to Yeovil, a dis-
tance of 41 miles, was completed last month. The
remaining 46 miles, giving a second railway route
between London and Exeter, by the important towns
of Axminster and Honiton is now finished, and its
opening for traffic will be inaugurated to-day by a
grand dinner to be given to the directors of the
South• Western Company by the mayor and corpo-
ration of the western city.
The new line, which has been constructed by Mr.
Erring,ton, of the firm of Locke and Errington,
presents few engineering difficulties, except one of
a tunnel through green sand near Honiton. The
railway crosses three rivers—the Otter, the Colley,
and the Axe, all well known to fishermen—by iron
and stone bridges ; and the country which it tra-
verses is eminently picturesque, abounding in
scenery of the most beautiful character, thickly
dotted with the residences of many distinguished

The value of this extension as an important link
of the narrow gauge system cannot be overrated,
whether regarded in a military or commercial point
of view. When the bill was before Parliament some
attention was directed to it as affording a connecting
link in the national defences, the idea being that it
must ultimately lead to a connection between the
great naval arsenals of Portsmouth and Plymouth";
while, in a commercial point of the view, it restores
to Exeter a great amount of trade once • carried on
through the district traversed' by this line, and
shortens the existing railway distance to the metro-
polis no less than 27 miles.
Although formally opened for traffic to-morrow,
the service of express trains will not commence
until the Ist of August.

A letter from Marseilles, of the 15th, says :
" We have had a Garibaldian steamer here since
yesterday. She is the old packet the Helvetie,
formerly belonging to this port, and which the
Dictator, when he bought her, christened the
Washington, and she carries the American flag.
The captain of this vessel, who wears a bright red
costume, is armed to the teeth, carrying in his bel
a brace of pistols and a formidable poignard. The
object of this visit to Marseilles is not known."

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.

" Dr. Bickford 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."—London Medical 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 resemple It are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide Is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.

" We have dilated 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 ;
but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places
it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—

£1,500,000 new 5 per cent. debentures, having five years to
run, with the option of renewal for a further similar term
upon the holder giving one year's notice. The debentures
previously issued by this company, including the £1,600,000
in November last, have carried the option of conversion
into stock, but this privilege will not exist in the present
instance, the power of renewal being substituted. Appli-
eations are to be received up to the 30th inst. The instal,
ments will consist of 25 per cent, on the 10th of August,
and 25 per cent. in each of the three succeeding months, or
the amount, if preferred, may at once be paid in full. The
total borrowing powers of the company, including the pro-
posed issue, are limited to £3,000,000. Both principal and
interest are guaranteed in the usual manner by the Indian
Government.

over, both of them, as you will—and prove, if
that be possible, that they do not confer freedom of
voting, that they do not interpose obstacles to all
classes of corruption, that they do not tend to
order and quiet on the day of polling ; that they
do not compel the candidates to appeal to the electors'
understanding instead of tampering with his fears
or avarice ; that they do not tend to make can-
vassing, in the objectionable sense, dangerous
rather 'than otherwise, to those who would inter-
fei with the liberty conferred by the law. But
if these things cannot be proved—rather if the
reverse be true—then, in the name of liberty, of
morality, we might add of religion, we call on the
House of Commons to vote clause by clause, on
Tuesday next, the best Reform Bill which it has
ever read a second time since 1832—the bill intro-
duced by Mr. JAMES WILD.

We are glad to see that the benevolent efforts in
behalf of the family of the late Mr. ROBERT
BRoUGH which have been made by the members of
the literary and dramatic professions, are not yet
abandoned. Mr. and Mrs. GERMAN REED and Mr.
JOHN PARRY have, with characteristic liberality,
announced their intention of giving. an ex-
tra performance of their popular enter-
tainments to-morrow evening, the entire pro-
ceeds of which are to be devoted to the fund now
being raised. The claim which the members of a
fluctuating and arduous profession have upon the
public who have profited by their labours, is
more generally felt than openly recognised
in this country. It is the one department
in which our free and popular system of Govern-
ment seems to fail. Men of science, art, and
literature, cannot among us obtain a public reward
commensurate with the services of the pioneers of
human progress. The gifts of the State are
doled out to them rather as eleemosynary
assistance than as a national tribute to those
who have reflected credit and honour on
, their nation. In this, as in so many other cases,

private enterprise and private benevolence must
step in to assist the tardy offers of Governmental
aid. In a case like the present, where
a writer of promise is suddenly cut off
in the prime of life, before he had had time to
make due provision for those dependent on him,
the case especially demands our sympathy and
assistance. The usual sneers at the improvidence
of the literary craft must be silenced by the
premature termination of the author's labours.
Few dying at his age could leave an independence
for their families. It is fortunate for the worldly
prospects of the survivors that they possess an un-
deniable claim upon the public sympathy and
kindliness—a claim which has been so readily
and cordially acknowledged by his brethren of art
and literature, and to which, we are confident, the
British public will not be slow to respond.
