THE ARMY,

The two-company depot of the 84th (York and
Lancaster) Regiment, attached to the 3d battalion'
at Chatham, has received orders to be in readiul
to vacate the hut barracks in which the depot 10
quartered, and proceed to Sheffield, where tlfre
head-quarters of the 84th, now on their passagi
home from India, will be stationed on their arril
in England. In consequence of casualties sub,
losses in India the service companies of the 84 t
are so reduced that their number is now only abulia
400 men. The depot, however, is very strong, au
in consequence of no reinforcements having be,eo
sent from it to India for some time past, its streng:o
has been raised to upwards of 400 men, which 'XL
give the entire strength of the regiment about Sr,.
bayonets. Recruiting for the 84th has been suss
pended for the present.
The high bounty (X 5) given by the Government
to recruits for the Royal Marine Light Infant
has had the effect of inducing a large number ()(1
young men to join that branch of the service, 011,
recruiting is steadily proceeding. During Yest!,-;
day and the preceding day a number of fine you"''
men arrived at the head-quarters of the Chathill
division from London and Hull, having been sent
up by Capt. Fellowes and Lieut. Farmar, who are
,
superintending the recruiting at those station:

EXETER HALL—LOWER HALL.—On Monday
evening, July 25, a highly enteresting and 'scientific lecture
on the human ear, Was delivered to a vers respectable audi-
ence in the above room, by Mr. Samuft'A E. Smith, surgeon
to the National Ear Instituti.on,
lecturer commenced by describing the , anatomy of the ear,

in so simple a manner that his bearers could not fail to have
a clear comprehension of the subject. He next touched upon
the general principles of sound, and showed the conducting
power of almost every earthly

explained the way in which every external impression is
conveyed to the brain through the medium of this invalue-_
ble organ, also the difference in structure and function o the ear in the lower classes of animals. The lecturer. .e

cluded with remarks on the various diseases to which tn

from scarlatina! 'Several cases are recorded also
—some of them very sudden—of death from sun-
stroke or coup de soleil, the rays of the sun, accord-
ing to medical evidence, producing congestion of
the brain, convulsions, coma, or fatal inflammation.
An increase of nearly 8 degrees in the temperature
" acting with other circumstances that are necessarily
unfavourable to health " has been thus attended,
the Registrar-General remarks significantly in his
report, by this horrible increase of nearly 600 deaths
in the metropolis! And those other circumstances,
Do they require for one instant to be specified?
Don't we all understand at once that they signify
the Drainage and the Thames—the very channels
(if but properly managed) for the diminution of
the mortality instead of for the increase of it !
Yet people there are who, in the very presence
of facts like these, will assert still to the
last stubbornly that these objections to the
Thames as insalubrious (how mild a phrase !)
are exaggerations. The corn laws were only
abolished upon the morrow of a famine in Ireland.
Is the Thames only to be purified at last when
London shall have been stricken with a pestilence ?

A GAY DECEIVER IS HE.

(Fox Music.)

Gallant and tall, and a soldier withal,
Sir Harry goes courting the fair ;
He has burnished his curls, and his white hand twirls
Through the tresses with tender care.
He is whispering low, but don't let your hearts go,
Maidens, just watch, and you'll see,
That Sir Harry can smile and mean nothing the while,

For a gay deceiver is he.
Scout him and flout him with pride and scorn,
For he'll sue you, and woo you, and leave you forlorn.
He holds up his head, and tells of the dead,
And the wounded his Beauty has left ;
Lightly he'll boast of the love-smitten host
By his charms of their peace bereft.
Oh! heave not a sigh at the blink of his eye,
Though melting its beam may be ;
He seeks to entrance your souls with a glance,
But a gay deceiver is he.
Scout him and flout him—he worships a stone—
For the image he dotes on is only his own.
This gallant and gay Sir Harry, they say,
Has reckoned his worth in gold,
Sir Harry is not to be given away,
He is only a thing to be sold.
Maidens, don't fret, though his whiskers of jet
Right daintily trimmed may be ;
Oh ! give him no part of a woman's warm heart,

For a gay deceiver is he.
Scout him and flout him with pride and scorn,
And lea-Ve him and his Beauty to live forlorn.

ELECTION COMMITTEES.—(This Day.)

The trial of election petitions was proceeded with to-day
in a number of the committee-rooms of the House of Com-

mons.

In the Wakefield committee it was decided that William
Henry Latham, the late member was, by his agents, guilty
of bribery ; that he was not duly returned, and that the last
election was void.

In the Dartmouth committee the sitting member, Mr.
Schenley, withdrew from the contest, but Mr. Slade, the
counsel for the petitioner, Sir T. Herbert, proposed to go
into details, to show that bribery had been committed
during the election. The room was ordered to be cleared
to consider the question. On the public being re-admitted,
The Chairman announced that the committee had de-
cided to go on with the inquiry.

Mr. Slade then proceeded to prove the committal of bri-
bery during the election.
In the Ashburton, Gloucester, Huddersfield, and Ayles-
bury committees no decision had been given up to the time
of our going to press.

A " SMASHING" LEAP. —A gentleman of Bever-
ley was out for his morning ride last Saturday morn-
ing on one of his hunters, when, on passing a pot-stall in
the Market-place, he asked the proprietor " how much for
a leap?" "A penny, sir, and payment for the broken
pots." The rider (who is a thorough English sportsman of
true game, and who has figured in many a welter race and
frequently been one of the selected few "nn at the death"
after many a gallant run), immediately pt his thorough.
bred at the crockery establishment, and, nothing daunted,
charged it in a regular steeplechase style, but the animal
jumping short with his hind legs, caught thenappery ware,
and fractured about a sovereign's worth. A bill for the
amount was speedily sent to the gentleman, and as speedily
and cheerfully discharged. Yorkshire Gazette.
POSTAL SUBSIDIES, &C. (CANADA).—Copies of
the address from both branches of the Legislature of Canada
to her 'Majesty relative to postal subsidies and the inter-
colonial railway ; and of the correspondence between the
delegates from Canada, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia
and her Majesty's Government relative to the interedlonial
railway from Halifax to Quebec, have been printed on the
motion of Mr. Wyld, M.P. These appeals of the colonists
of British North America were answered by the then Colo-
nial Secretary, Sir E. Bulwer Lytton, on Christmas-eve,
NM Sir Bulwer, referring to the proposal that some Im-
perial aid should be granted towards the completion of " an
intercolonial railroad" from Halifax to Quebec, remarked
that the project was regarded by the Home Government
" with the best wishes," but that, having respect to the
necessity of not unduly increasing the public burdens at
this moment, they (the Home Government) could not ac-
cede to the said proposal, which was rejected accordingly.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

Last night M. Meyerbeer's new opera, "Dinorah, or Il
Pellegrinaggio di Ploermel," to which the subscribers and
the public have been looking forward with so much curio-
sity, was produced with a completeness and splendour un-
surpassed by any previous essay at the Royal Italian
Opera. We cannot attempt to do anything more at present
than record its triumphant reception.
The composer and the principal singers were called for
and enthusiastically applauded after every act, and at the
end the same compliment was deservedly paid to M. Costa.
The characters in the opera were sustained by Madame
Miolan Carvalho (from the Theatre Lyrique in Paris), Ma-
dame Nantier Didiee, Mademoiselle Marai, Signors Gar-
doni, Neri Baraldi, Tagliafico, and Graziani. The perform-
ance—which did not terminate till three-quarters of an
hour past midnight, owing to the encores awarded to the
overture and several other lengthy pieces—was one of the
most perfect we can remember on a first night, and the
audience one of the most crowded and brilliant. The suc-
cess of " Dinorah," in short, was equal to that of any
work from the same pen hitherto presented on the English

stage.

was then taken home in a cart. He had only been
able to work during the last three weeks. There
were 280 shots taken out of his back. He had not
a gun, or a stick, or a ferret with him.
In his cross-examination the prosecutor admitted
that he had been in prison for catching rabbits, and
for receiving some money.
Maidman, who was with Matthews at the time,
corroborated his testimony. The prisoner said it
was an accident, and he would not have had it
happen for £5.
In his cross-examination Maidman said that since
this transaction he had been fined £l4s. for fishing
at a place where others fished. No one had been
summoned for fishing at that spot, and there was no
board put up to warn people. Lord Portman's
gamekeeper had summoned him.
Mr. Baron Bramwell said he thought Lord Port-
man ought to be informed of this—taking two
weeks' wages from this man. It was very discredit-
able.
It was stated that rabbit holes had been fresh dug.
The defence was that it was an accident ; that the
prisoner, in getting over the gap, fell down, and the
gun went off by accident, and a witness was called
who swore that he saw the prisoner fall over the
gap, and the gun go off. He did not go to render
assistance, because he thought the men had been
ferretting.
Several witnesses gave prisoner a good character.
The learned Judge having summed up with great
. care,
' The jury found the prisoner guilty with intent to
; do grievous bodily harm.—Sentence deferred.

oN TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRIICEA;
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."—London 'Medical Gazette.
" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing maladrlty 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 of
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 ;
but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places
it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—

to show that they had no spark of decency or
virtue.
Mr. Justice Byles having summed up the evi-
dence, the jury found Watkins, Acton, Fereday,
and Allen guilty, and acquitted the two other pri-
soners. They added that they took a more favour-
able view of Acton's case.

His lordship, in passing sentence, said the pri-
soners had been convicted, on invincible evidence,
of one of the most brutal and barbarous outrages of
which he had ever heard. God only knew whether
the prisoners had anything to do with the drowning
of the deceased. The sentence upon Watkins, Allen,
and Fereday was that they be kept in penal servi-
tude for the term of their natural lives ; and upon
Acton, of whose case his lordship said he also took
a more favourable view, the sentence was that he
be kept in penal servitude for five years.

THE NATIONAL DEFENCES.

It is one of the disadvantages of a country which
stands on the defensive that it must always be
ready for war, while its enemy may choose his
own time. The dangers which threaten the
peaceful communities of Europe are far more
serious than the chance of a war at a certain
period and for a limited time. If we knew that
at a particular date—say, three years hence—
we should be at war with any Power, there would
be no difficulty in preparing for it without any ex-
haustion of our resources. This is, indeed, the ad-
vantage of an aggressive State ; it can choose its
year, even its month, and it knows how much ven-
geance or glory it can afford to buy with the funds
at its disposal. It also knows that whenever it
chooses it can obtain peace, since its victims, how-
ever unjustly attacked, will be naturally willing to
put a stop to hostilities which are draining them of
men and treasure and deranging the concerns of
peaceful industry. But the case of the threatened
State is widely different. This must be at all times
ready for the danger which a week may bring forth.
It must watch the movements of its adversary, con-
tinually strengthen its resources, and adopt every
improvement in the art of warfare without delay
and without regard to cost. This lesson we have
learnt long, and it is continually repeated, as each
year brings forth new means of offensive or defen-
sive war, or shows how novel tactics act upon the
issue of a struggle. One principal matter of im-
portance is the preparation of rifled cannon. The
Armstrong gun will, no doubt, be an astonishing
weapon ; but as yet we have only one or two speci-
mens of it. The works are only in course of erec-
tion, all the machinery has to be brought into order,
and the utmost that we are promised is a hundred
Armstrong guns by the end of the year. Even this
promise is hardly likely to be kept. On the other
hand, thousands of Armstrong guns will be required
for our ships, our fortresses, and-for service in the
field. The construction of these must be the work of
several years. In the meantime what is going on
across the Channel ? " The most noticeable feature
in the Arsenal," writes our Marseilles correspondent,
" is the effort made to provide rifled ordnance for
the Navy. The system which appears to be defini-
tively adopted consists of three grooves about three
inches broad and an eighth of an inch deep, with a
twist of one-sixth." ;These guns are being supplied
rapidly to the French line-of-battle ships. It would
certainly seem but a prudent step to make use of
the guns we have as supplemental to the " Arm-
strongs," which must be comparatively few in
number for the next two or three years. There
are, we believe, no less than 7,000 smooth-bored
guns now lying at Woolwich Arsenal. To rifle a
part of these would be an easy and, comparatively,
an inexpensive work. If beyond the puwers of the
Government establishments, the work might be
distributed among the various factories in our great
towns, and by the end of the year large numbers of
rifled guns might be fit for use.—Times.

LONDON CORPORATION BILL,

On the order of the day for the second reading of this
bill being read,
Mr. G. CLIVE proposed to postpone the bill to Monday.
Sir J. V. SHELLEY hoped the Government would state
whether they really intended to proceed with the bill at all.
Mr. E. JAMES joined in that hope, as the utmost ex-
citement prevailed on the subject in the City with respect
to the measure.

After a few words from Sir JAMES DUKE,
Mr. G. CLIVE regretted the momentary absence of the
Home Secretary, but observed that he would be in his place
and be able to answer the appeal made to the Government
before six o'clock arrived.
The order of the day was then postponed to Monday
next.

DUBLIN, MONDAY MORNING.
THE KINSALE RIOTS.
The military investigation into these disgraceful
riots is now proceeding at the Cork barracks, the
civil inquiry, for the information of Government,
having taken place at Kinsale. Until the whole
inquiry is completed, it would be manifestly unfair
to pronounce any opinion upon the conduct of the
parties implicated. In a few days, however, the
public will be enabled to judge whether the local
papers or the noble colonel of the Antrim Artillery
have exaggerated the extent or insignificance of
the affair.

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 correot."—London ZiedicskGasette.

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

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

Last night M. Meyerbeer's new opera, " Dinorah, or II
Pellegrinaggio di Ploermel," to which the subscribers and
the public have been looking forward with so much curio-
sity, was produced with a completeness and splendour un-
surpassed by any previous essay at the Royal Italian
Opera. We cannot attempt to do anything more at present
than record its triumphant reception.
The composer and the principal singers were called for
and enthusiastically applauded after every act, and at the
end the same compliment was deservedly paid to M. Costa.
The characters in the opera were sustained by Madame
Miolan Carvalho (from the Theatre Lyrique in Paris), Ma-
dame Nantier Didiee, Mademoiselle Marai, Signors Gar-
doni, Neri Baraldi, Tagliafico, and Graziani. The perform-
ance—which did not terminate till three-quarters of an
hour past midnight, owing to the encores awarded to tho
overture and several other lengthy pieces—was one of the
most perfect we can remember on a first night, and the
audience one of the most crowded and brilliant. The suc-
cess of " Dinorah," in short, was equal to that of any
work from the same pen hitherto presented on the English
stage. it

LONDON (CITY) GAS BILL.

On the motion for the 'consideration of this bill,
Colonel FRENCH moved that the London (City) Gas
Bill be re-committed to another committee, to be appointed
by the Committee of Selection, and that the committee
have leave to sit and proceed on Friday. He took objec-
tion to this bill because the company had contravened the
Act of Parliament of 1847, by which gas companies were
restricted to a dividend of 10 per cent., and any surplus pro-
fit was to be applied to the reduction of the price of gas
to consumers. The company had also, in violation of the
act of Parliament, raised their capital from ,E 200,000 to
£300,000, and taken additional land.
Mr. BARROW said he was chairman of the committee
before whom this bill was investigated, and he defended
their conduct. It was considered by the members that
some irrelevant matter was brought forward with reference
to the financial part of the subject when they were hearing
evidence in regard to the sanitary point involved. They
decided that they would not then deal with the former part
of the question, as there were numerous witnesses waiting
to be examined relative to the latter, and counsel then de-
cided
on withdrawing the petition. In adopting that course,
he thought they acted wisely, for there was an over-
whelming mass of evidence adduced to show that, in a
sanitary point of view, there were no objections
to the works of the company being carried on without
alteration of their site. That evidence was composed of
persons best qualified to give correct information, mainly
medical officers resident, the police and the Poor Law Board.
From their united testimony it appeared that the means
adopted by the company purified the refuse that accumu-
lated from the manufacture of gas. He believed if they
rejected the bill they would be doing an injury, not only
to the company, but to the public.
Mr. MASSEY was strongly opposed to the motion for
recommitting the bill.
Some further discussion ensued, in which Mr. Roebuck,
Colonel North, Mr. Williams, and other hon. members
took part.
Sir G. C. LEWIS considered that unless some extra-
ordinary grounds were shown they ought not to accede to
a motion like the present, and he did not think any such
grounds existed with regard to the committee before whom
this bill was tried. At the same time, he had considerable
doubt whether the committee had arrived at a correct con-
clusion.
After a few words from Mr. E. JAMES in support of the
committee,
The amendment was negatived without a division.
The bill was then considered, and ordered for third
reading.

TUESDAY,

Mr. S. WORTLEY rose to draw the attention of the
house to a breach of privilege, pergonal to himself, which
had been committed by one of the leading journals. He
could bear testimony to the general accuracy of the journal
in question (the Times); but in the report which it pub-
lished of the debate on Tuesday at the morning sitting,
not only what he said was omitted, but the speech of
another member was attributed to him.
The SPEAKER considered that the hon. member was
not in order, as he was not speaking to a motion.

Mr. S. WORTLEY said that he would then move for-
mally that the house do adjourn. The hon. member was
proceeding to address the house when he was again inter-
rupted by the SPEAKER, who decided that he was still out
of order, and he resumed his seat.

devoted to Art productions generally. The Proprietor feels
he may confidently assert that, viewed altogether, the exist-
ing Musie Hall, the New Fine Arts Gallery, and the recently
added Ante-Hall. will present an attraction which, whether
as regards the architectural beauty of the structures them-
selves, or the varied and hitherto unattempted combinations
within, will be found to be wholly without parallel in the
Kingdom.
The MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT commences as usual at
Seven o'clock.
In addition to the usual entertainment. the SAUVLET
FAMILY, of Amsterdam, Eight in number, whose varied
instrumental performances have created so marked a sensa-

PENNY DRAFT AND RECEIPT STAMPS.

Mr. COWAN asked the Secretary of the Treasury if it
was the case that, since the issuing of penny draft and re-
ceipt stamps in 1853, that these stamps had been supplied
in England and Ireland to the public at a deduction from
the price of 71 per cent., which had been entirely withheld
from Scotland, and if this difference would be put an end to ?
Sir S. NORTHCOTE replied in the affirmative to both
questions.

THE TIMES' REPORT OF THE DEBATE ON
London, England, 1859-03-17

a register has been given to the American steamer
Maria, granting her thereby a license to trade coast-
wise or on the internal waters of Vancouver's Island
or British Columbia. As to the obli ation of
sale and transfer, it only constitutes a less acile, but
not one whit a more efficacious, mode o protecting
bonafide British shipowners from foreign competi-
tion than theehoisting of the union jack; for, with-
out meaning any offence to our sharp cousins, I may
remark that their political and commercial morality
is of a broad latitudinarian character, inaccessible
to " compunctious visitings ;" nor do I believe an
average Yankee conscience would suffer any greater
degree of violence in concocting a mock bill of sale
than in running up our national ensign at the main.
It may be objected " that there must be two parties
to a contract;" but I beg leave to remark to any
such objection that until the standard of British
citizenship is more clearly defined, both in the re-
lations of public and private life, very little difficulty
will exist in finding a second party, either in Van-
couver's Island or British Columbia.
