[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Pills.—Fever.—From
the contaminated air caused by the collection of large num-
bers of people in cities, from malaria, produced by defective
drainage, this disease is ever present in our larger towns.
Whether intermittent, remittent, nervous, inflammatory, or
putrid, in Holloway's pills an effectual remedy exists, cap-
able, in the impurest:Wmospherc;of protecting from fever,
and e ival to expel it, if febrile symptoms have already ma-
nifested themselves. These pills so correct the blood and
lilies as to render it impossible for the latent seeds of any
fever to lie undiscovered in the frame to break out after-
wards with redoubled vigour, placing the viatim injeoPardY
of his life, and riskinE the communication of the disease to
his household. . - •

SELF-PRESERVATION.—A Medical Treatise
on the Functionsand Disordersof the Generative System,

BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D.,
37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON,
Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Hono-
rary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Li-
centiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c.
The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fear-
ful consequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities,.
and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth,
degradation in Manhood,
any other
class of
as
ddeicaseyaet
kanllostwan to
of life, than, perhaps,
modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended
to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condi-
tion, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health
happiness, and privileges to which every human being is en-
titled.
It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that
there are principles of personal management which cannot be
violated without incurring grievous penalties, and wh„,
wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-
indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the
sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil
and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that
there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply
a cure.

deeds are surely worthy of being disinterred
from the dust of ages and held up to the
admiration of succeeding ',generations. The
author deserves to be congvatulatad on the
accomplishment of his labf,rions task, in
which he has shown himself to be a faithful as well
as a syMpathising chronicler, recording the vices of
the fraternity as well as its nobler qualities, and
the weakness and insignificance of its decay, as well
as the noonday of its *eats achie-vements. It is a
most interesting and vetable history, and if the
genefal reader feels inclined to skip some of the de-
scriptions of ordinary events and,customs, he will
be fully repaid by the perusal of the,more stirring
portions. The work is likely to obt.tin a standard
character, giving a page from the great history of
the past which well deserves to be borie in mind
and held in adniiration by the present.

Philosophical Principles of the English Language.
By George Jenkins.
Here—in the form of a thoughtful little shilling
treatise upon the Philosophical Principles of the
English Language—is the announcement of a
forthcoming grammar by the author of the trea-
tise—a grammar to be constructed in accordance
with the philosophical principles here laid down.
Mr. Jenkins has certainly contrived to startle his
readers into surprised attention. HQ has begun by
shaking their faith in Lindley Murray. He there-
upon piques our curiosity to the utmost possible
degree, to know whether he will fill up the hiatus
caused by the removal of an old favourite, by
buildin6 up in lieu of it a new and more secure
reputation. Our uncertainty upon this head, time
alone can satisfy. Mr. Jenkins has something to
say upon " language"—upon the " Adnoun"—upon
" Person," and upon " Pronouns" variously,
whether "Noun,' "Collectii'e," or " Ap-
positive." After a few introductory philoso-
phical remarks upon the verb, he analyzes
that vital
_part of speech carefully and
with all possible deliberation. Hifi notions as t
the philosophical principles regulating the English
language are certainly characteri4ed by great origi-
nality. In conclusion, the author of the treatise
announces that the grammar in progress will be
adapted to schools and persons unacquainted with
any other language; and, above all things, will be
plain, practical, and philosophical. We shall, be
curious to welcome it, and shall watch with some
interest for its announcement.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention buts been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treattment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr..(Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriiminative power in the diagnosis of the 'Various
kinds of sttnicture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their manawement is founded, demonstrating his success and
explaininwtthecause of it. By his systematic management
an immenateimitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, amtl future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unresearvedly and confidently recommend as a valuable
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to betleund in the private study of all who are subject

following 'words
:
"Sir (Gospodaru),—The nation has had sufficient
opportunity of observing that you have neither
the talent nor the wish to make Servia happy. The
nation, therefore—through us—begs of you to ab-
dicate, but permits you and your family to remain
in the country, where not a hair of your heads will
be injurrd. The nation expects your reply; abdi-
cate without hesitation, and by so doing prove
your to be a good patriot."

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, Dec. 28.—Some time ago it was made
known that certain measures would be taken
by the State for ' facilitating the resump-
tion. of cash payments by the Bank, the sub-
joined official statement will show that the in-
formation is, in substance, correct. The Imperial
Royal Finance Department will deliver over to-the
Bank on the 15th of January, 1859, 10,000,000f1.,
Austrian currency, which is the first instalment of
the sum to be paid by the newly-constituted Rail-
road Company for the Vienna-Trieste and other

lines of railway. Further, the. State will pay to
the Bank on the Ist November, 1859, the second
instalment of 10,000,000f1., Austrian currency, and
also the instalments-600,000,0001, Austrian cur-
rency,—which will become due on the Ist of Nov.,
1860, 1861, 1862, 1863, and 1864. The State,
however, reserves to itself the right in case of
need to demand from the Bank the sum of
20,000,000 florins Austrian currency in notes,
instead of the two first-mentioned instalments,
which will be paid in silver. The State
will also give to the Bank " Grundent-lassungs-
Obligationen" (Soil Emancipation Bonds)
of the value of nearly 20,000,000f1. This sum and
the instalments for the years of 1860, 1861, 1862,
1863, and 1864, will reduce the debt of the State to
the Bank, for which the State domains are held in
mortgage, to 100,000,000f1. Austrian currency.
It is credibly related that the French Govern-
ment wishes, to bring the Moldo-Wallachian clues.
tion before the Paris Conference again, but it is not
probable that either England, Austria, Prussia, or
the Porte will approve the idea.
Reliable information has reached here that the
state of public feeling has not improved in the
Austrian provinces in Italy. The army in the
Lombardo-Venetian Kingdom has been re-inforced
by four regiments, and all the men who were on
leave of absence have returned to their posts.

' A firm tone pervaded the market to-day again, though
we had few buyers present. Good wheat and flour com-
manded extreme rates upon the moderate business trans-
acted. English and French sack flour moved less freely,
but on the whole we feel a good demand for daily consump-
tion. Egyptian beans advanced is to is 6d. Without
much doing in oats, barley, and peas, the late quotations
are quite supported.

LIVERPOOL.

During Tuesday night and all yesterday morning
a -strong gale from the north-west, accompanied
with sleet and rain, prevailed at Liverpool. In the
course of the day the clipper White Star, for Mel-
bourne, got adrift and fouled the Gladiator, for
India ; eventually she was made fast to her Majes-
ty's ship Hastings until the necessary assistance
cold be obtained. A flat foundered off Seacomb,
and two men and a boy were drowned. The screw
steamship City of Baltimore and the North Ame-
rican, the former for New York and the latter for
Canada, which were to have left to-day, are still in
the river. The fine screw steamer Semaphore,
which left Belfast on Tuesday morning, full of cat-
tle and pigs, below and on deck, had a most awful
night of it, and lost a number overboard. Her
decks, as she lay alongside the landing-stage, pre-
sented a most pitiable spectacle, being covered with
dead and dying cattle, which lay in the most extra-
ordinary postures, with horns broken, and necks
and limbs distorted ; life appeared to have been
washed out of them. Here and there were pigs
which had been crushed to death, while others with
but little life in them were lying close to the car-
cases, endeavouring to gain warmth where warmth
there was none. The hold was full of dead beasts.
The 'screw steamship Royal Charter, which was
reported at QueenstoWn on Monday, after a passage
of 58 days, from Melbourne, has not yet arrived
here. During the day crowds were assembled in
the neighbourhood of St. George's Church, watch-
ing the tall steeple, which was said to be oscillating,
and as it is known not to be very firm, some appre-
hension was expressed. At 5 p.m. yesterday, the
gale had subsided, and the glass was rising.

the prisoner.

The evidence taken on the last examination was read
over to the several witnesses, and their depositions were
signed by them.

Mr. Pollard declined to make a new charge, as one of the
witnesses was not able to attend the court to-day. If this
additional case was necessary to be gone int Mr. Morgan
would have due notice before trial, and therefore ho would
ask that the prisontr be committed for trial.

Mr. Alderman Lawrance said—l do not -wish to throlt
any obstacles in the way of the prosecution, but I think
that there has been sufficient evidence laid before me al-
ready on the several charges made against the prisoner to
justify a committal for trial.

Mr. Pollard—lf I shall ask for a remand it will only be
pro forma to complete any additional evidence that may be
considered necessary to be laid before the Court.
Mr. Morgan said it was impossible to answer or comment
on all the charges that had been made, but when the time
came for trial they would be sufficiently answered. The
bankruptcy accounts would show that the majority of the
creditors were secured, and that at the end of this investiga-
tion the prisoner would stand in a much better light with
the public than he did before.

Mr. Pollard said £lOO,OOO were not secured, but his
learned friend would make his statement now and prove

it at the trial. He Could not at present make a sufficient
answer to the charges made against his client.
Mr. Alderman Lawranco said that he meant to commit
the prisoner on all the charges, as (hey all required to be
investigated elsewhere, because mest4a fha aennr;+;.4 ten-
dered were waste paper, and therefor 4 there was a case of
obtaining money on false securities. I will commit the pri-
soner on all the four charENg.
The prisoner was remanded till half-past ten o'clock ou
Wednesday next to complete the evidence on any addi-
tional charges that may then be brought against him.

(OLD COURT.)

(Before the Lord Chief Baron and Mr. Justice Williams

CHARGE OF WILFUL MURDER.

George Frederick Royal, aged 30, was indicted for the
wilful murder of Zipporah Wright, a woman with whom
he cohabited, in June last, in Gough-street, Poplar, by
administering to her a quantity of cantbarides.
The Solicitor-General (Sir Henry Keating), Mr. Welsby,
Mr. Clark, and Mr. Metcalfe appeared for the prosecution ;
Mr. Sleigh for the defence.
The prisoner is a man of rather sallow complexion, with
long brown hair, a heavy moustache, and beard underneath
the chin. On taking his place in the dock he pleaded not
guilty to the indictment, and immediately the Solicitor-
General commenced his address he fixed his eyes steadfastly
on the hon. gentleman during the whale time_ he was
addressing the jury.
The Solicitor-General, in his opening address, detailed
the circumstances on which he should rely for a conviction.
The prisoner, it appeared, in early life had been engaged in
a chemist's shop, and had afterwards worked at several
other occupations. With regard to the poison supposed to
have been administered the learned gentleman related that
Dr. Webb and Dr. Letheby differed as to its nomenclature:
one considered that it was tincture of cantharides, and the
other that it was croton oil. That it was poison there was
no doubt, and the medical witnesses would satisfactorily
explain to the jury how it was that they could not agree as
to the poisonous matter that caused the death of the unfor•
tunate woman.
The first witness called was

rupt, a cooper, of Colchester. Tho accounts, by Messrs.
