SOUTH MIDDLESEX RIFLES.

A meeting of this corps took place at Beaufort-
house,
Walham-green, on Tuesday last, Viscount
Ranelagh in the chair, when the committee decided
that tenders should be advertised for the butt,
and the works commenced forthwith. The greatest
cordiality exists among the members, and the regi-
mental drills now take place at 4 o'clock on Tues-
days, Thursdays, and Pride vs. Mr. J. W. Prout,
of Neasdon, has forwarded the committee a hand-
some donation of £2l, Lieut.-Col. Evelyn, Colonel
Merrick, Mr. J. Wylde, Q.C., &c., have also sent
donations in addition to those last advertised. A
general meeting of the corps will take place on
Saturday next, when the uniform will be selected
and forwarded to the Lord-Lieutenant for approval.
The corps musters nearly 400 members, including
[many members of Parliament.

ABERDEEN.
At a meeting of the corps, which was held in the
Court-house on the 19th, it was agreed that the fol-
lowing gentlemen should be recommended to the
Lord-Lieutenant of the county for appointment as
officers :—Mr. W. Jopp and Mr. A. Thompson as
captains, Mr. G. Cadenhead and Mr. A. Edmond as
ensigns, and Dr. Keith and Dr. Carr as medical
officers. These gentlemen were elected by the
members of the corps generally, and it is intended,
in order to save any clubbing together or attempt
at exclusiveness, to divide the corps into companies
by ballot. The corps contains at present upwards
of 120 gentlemen, who have furnished themselves
with a very neat dark gray uniform and the short
Enfield rifle and sword-bayonet. Drill has been
carried ou in the quadrangle of Marischal College,
under the superintendence of Sergeant-Major Phyn,
of the Royal Aberdeenshire Highlanders, for the
last two months, during which time the members
have made marked progress.

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 2d do not, as often
happens on a Sunday, contain any political news
of importance. A deputation of the Chamber of
Deputies had waited on the Queen to present the
Address in reply to the Speech from the Throne,
and her Majesty, in a few words, expressed her
thanks for it. The Diseusion had been seized. A
royal decree in the Gazette enacts that as M. 010-
zags was elected to sit for the district of Barquillo,
in Madrid, a new election shall take place for that
of Lavapies, in the same city, for which he was
also returned. The semi-official Correspondancia
Autografa states that the Government had received
accounts from the Philippines to the 9th, to the
effect that the operations. of the expedition in
Cochin China had had to be suspended in conse-
quence of bad weather.

A letter from Teheran says :—" It is believed
that the ex-Sadrazam Mirza Aga Khan, who was
lately accused of peculation, will be condemned to
perpetual banishment in some country of Western
Europe—most likely, according to his own wish,
'France. An electric telegraph between this city
and Tauris is to be established in the spring, as well
as a railway about eight miles long between Tehe-
ran and the Elbourg, the Shah's summer residence.
The French Minister, Baron Pichon, presented a few
days ago the members of the French military mis-
sion to the Shah. The Shah received them very
kindly, expressed his joy at possessing the friend-
ship of the Emperor Napoleon, spoke flatteringly
of the French army before Sebastopol, and declared
that he was grateful that French officers had con-
sented to come to his country to teach his army
European tactics. A fsw days after these officers
commenced their duties in the military school at
Teheran. The Shah was present at the first lesson
and promised frequently to renew his visits."

The Archduchess Maximilian left Milan on the
2d for Trieste, in order to receive her cousin, the
future Princess Royal of the Two Sicilies, the
Archdukes Regnier and William, and the Arch-
duchess Maria.

A Vienna letter of the Ist says that it was
generally rumoured that the Porte had confirmed
the election of Prince Milosch as Hereditary Prince
of Servia. No confirmation of the rumour had,
however, reached either the Turkish embassy or
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but it was not
considered doubtful that the election would be
confirmed by the Porte.

THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF YOUTH AND
MATURITY.

Just published, price is., post free, in an Enyelope, for 13

SELF-PRESERVATION.—A Medical Treatise
on the Functions and Disorders of the Generative System,
and on the cure of Nervous and Physical Debility, resulting
from vicious habits acquired during the critical passtke from
youth to Manhood, with practical observations on the Phy-
siolog,y of Marriage in its social, moral, and physical rela-
tions. To which are added remarks on the wonders of the
Microscope in revealing the hidden mysteries "of Life within
Life," and its advantages in detecting, by urinary examina-
tion, the cause and effect of everyvariety of these complaints,
with numerous engravings and cases.

37, BEDFORD SQUIRE, 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, potherrn decay at all stages
of life, than, perhaps, any class of disease known to
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 when
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 &it
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.

SIR JAMES C. MEL VILL,

A testimonial has just been presented to Sh Jas.
Cosmo Melvill, K.C.8., by the members of. the
home service of the Government of India, upon his
retirement from the office of Secretary to the East
India Company. It consists of two handsome
silver vases and a pair of raised fruit dishes made by
Garrard, of the Haymarket, and was ac-
companied by an address expressive of the high
admiration and affectionate esteem in which this
able and indefatigable public officer was held by
'those who served under him.

To this compliment Sir James has returned
*.ollowing.reply

" Gentlemen,—l acknowledge, i emotions of pride
and satisfaction, the receipt of your address, and I request
that you will accept my sincere thanks for the gratifying
terms in which you have expressed yourselves towards me,
and for the handsome and valuable testimonial in which
you have given shape to your feelings of esteem and affec-
tion. To all, and to each one of you, I would tender my
warmest acknowledgments. Your names are associated
with some of my happiest recollections, and with many
long-established friendships.
" When I retired in February last it became my pleasing
duty to reply to an address from the service at large. The
sentiments which I then expressed are those which animate
me on this occasion, and which must endure while life
shall last.
"Regarding, as I always did, the respectability and effi-
ciency of the home establishment as essential to the good
government of India, it was incumbent on me to promote
its importance and welfare; and I rejoice in the assurance
which your address conveys to me, that my efforts in fur-
therance of that object were not altogether ineffectual.
" I am deeply sensible of many imperfections in my offi-
cial conduct, and am also fully aware that in the position
which I so long occupied it was my lot, occasionally, to check
as well as promote individual wishes and expectations. That,
under such circumstances, so large a body of my late col-
leagues, 'not content with having subscribed the general
address, should again come forward for the puridse of pre-
senting. me with a substantial testimonial of their regard, is
a circumstance most gratifying to my feelings, assuring me
as it does of their generous appreciation of the public motives
by which my conduct was influenced
" I cannot allow this opportunity to pass without repeat-
ing my thanks to you all, individually and collectively, for
the able and friendly co-operation and assistance which I
ever experienced from you, nor without assuring you that,
though the tic of official relationship no balger unites us,
my heart is still with the service, whose efficiency and high
character will, I am convinced, only become more apparent
the more prominently it is brought before the public.—l
have the honour to be, gentlemen, yours most faithfully.
"JAMES C. MELVILL."

NEW COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Willes.)
Alexander Kochanowsky, 21, labourer, Myers
Goldberg, 39, waterproofer, and Jacob Goldwater,
43, tailor, were indicted for feloniously having in
their possession, without the authority of the Em-
peror of Rusgala, steel plates, upon which were en-
graved certain parts of a promissory note, to wit, a
note.for the payment of five roubles.
The prisoner. Kochanowsky pleaded guilty..
Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, with whom was Mr.
Sleifh, appeared for the prosecution ; and. Mr. T.
Atkinson appeared for Kochanowsky.
The defence set up by Goldberg and Goldwater
was that they had, acted as innocent agents for
Kechanowsky.
The, jury found them both guilty.
Mr. Atkinson, on.the part of his client Kochan-
'oWsky, said that .he was a young Russian of a
.good
family, but had fallen into the hands of bad advisers.
His lordship, in passing sentence, said that the
conduct of Kochanowsky was, from his position, and
education, rendered far more heinous than that of
his companions, whom he had led into the e'en-mis-
sion of the offence. They', had, however, aided in the
commission of an offence of a N''ery grave character ;
but Considering the position in lift which they
filled, and that they were ignorant and poor men,
he should make a difference in their sentence,-but

still pass a severe one.
Kochanowsky was then ordered to be kept for
ten years in penal servitude, and the others for five
years.
Upon an application being made relative to the
expenses, the court concurred with Mr. Sleigh that
the conduct of Rolls, the 'engraver, was very
proper.
.A letter taken from the prisoner Kochanowsky,
addressed to some one in Russia, proved that an
organised system was in existence to pass off. these
false notes.

COLONIAL.

ItUM.—A strong inquiry has been experienced for the
better qualities of Jamaica, and :all values are realised.

little business done. A large quantity will be submitted to
public competition to-day. Prices are expec:.ed to rule
rather firmer. Common Congou is quoted Hid to llid

SUGAR.—Very little alteration can be reported. A fair
amount of business has been done in the better descriptions,
and all kinds have fully realised former rates. In the re-
fined market a steady business is reported, but the present
high rates in a great measure check operations.
COFFEE.—Good qualities a plantation Ceylon have been
much inquired for, and at public sae an advance of is to
2s per cwt. has been realised. Native and other descrip-
tions are also at full values.
RICE.—The market exhibits little animation, but previous
rates are current for all qualities.
SALTPETRE.—During the last few days there has been
an increased inquiry for the better qualities, and an advance
of is to is 6d per cwt. has taken place.

further improvement has taken place in prices. P.Y.C.,
on the spot, is now quoted 525, and January to March, 51s
9d to 52s per cwt. At public sale some very superior South
American remised 55s to 55s 6d per cwt.
GREEN FRUIT.—The demand continues good, and con-
trary winds preventing arrivals, the price of oranges has
improved ; two cargoes of St. Michael, one from Tere3ira,
sold by Keeling and Hunt, at public sale, went at an ad-
vance of is to 2s per cwt. per package.

have but one remark to . make in conclusion,

mummeries of traetarianisin, and the reluctant cas-
tigation of it by bishops are fast doing the work of
the Anti-State-Church Society. Parishes compelled
to fight their parsons and their bishops in these
days will soon acquire habits of mental indepen-

flames spread so rapidly that the crew were soon
driven from the hold. Every place was then closed
up in order to stifle the flames as much as possible,
and the boats got in readiness in case of need. At

this time the ship Grey-feather, Capt. Harford, of
New York, bound for San Francisco, with passen-

ship, took the captain and crew on board; and
landed them all well at Pernambuco on the 9th of
December. The fire originated from spontaneous
combustion in the lower part of the cargo.
The Carib, Williams, reported by previous mail

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

EXTRAORDINARY RECOGNITION OF A THIEF BY A
CHlLD.—Henry Holdsworth, a smith, was charged with
stealing a bundle, containing various articles of clothing,
from a little boy named George Read, and the circumstance
which led to the prisoner's apprehension was of a rather
singular nature.

The little fellow, who gave his evidence in a very lean-
gent and straightforward manner, said ho lived with his
father, a messenger, at 15, Norwich-court, and on Saturday
morning last he was carrying a bundle which he had fetched
from Dean-street, Fetter-lane, and when ho got into Hol-
born the prisoner came up to him while he was looking in
a picture shop window, and asked him to go an errand for
him. He then took him up a street, and told him to go
into a baker's shop and ask for four parcels and 55., saying
he would hold the bundle. He then took the bundle and
went into a doorway, and in it he saw some dresses. He
then went to the shop and asked for the parcels, but
they said they knew nothing about them, and on
going back to the place where he left the prisoner ho was
gone. Yesterday the prisoner came into his mother's shop
to buy a collar, and he then said, " Mother, that's the man
that stole the bundle," and he was given into custody. He
was quite sure he was the man, and he knew him directly
he saw.him in the shop.

Mrs. Darina, of Marylebone, proved that the bundle, con-

taining silk dresses, &c., was her property, and she sent
the little boy for it.

Smith, a city constable, 282, said the prisoner refused his
address.

COLONfA L•

RUM.—A strong inquiry has. I)een experienced for the
better qualities of Jamaica, and values are realised.
TEA.—The market continues firm, but there has been
little business done. A large que tntity will be submitted to
public competition to-day. Prit !es are expected to rule
rather firmer. Common Congou is quoted lltd to llid
per lb.
SUGAR.—Very little alteration scan be reported. A fair
amount of business has been done `al the better descriptions,
and all kinds have fully realised former rates. In the re-
fined market a steady business is reported, but the present
high rates in a great measure check operations.
COFFEE.—Good qualities of plantation Ceylon have been
much inquired for, and at public sae an advance of is to
2s per cwt. has been realised. Native and other descrip-
tions are also at full values.
RICE.—The market exhibits little animation, but previous
rates are current for all qualities.
SALTPETRE.—During the last few days there has been
an increased inquiry for the bette r qualities, and an advance
of is to is 6d per cwt. has taken place.
TALLOW.—lncreased business has been apparent, and a
further improvement has taken, place in prices. P.Y.C.,
on the spot, is now quoted 525, mad January to March, 51s
9d to 52s per cwt. At public st tie some very superior South
American realised 558 to 55s 6d per cwt.
GREEN FRUIT.—The demand continues good, and con-
trary winds preventing arrivals, the price of oranges has
improved ; two cargoes of St. :Michael, one from Terceira,
sold by Keeling and Hunt, at public sale, went at an ad-
vance of is to 2s per cwt. per package. Lemons without
alteration, and nuts of all kinds lower.

THE DANUBE.

The French Minister of Marine has received a
report from Captain Roussin, commandant of the
station of the Danube, dated on board the Averne,
at Galatz, 19th ult., in which he says :—" There
are now only from seven to eight feet of water on
the bar of the Sulina, which is the only mouth by
which the Danube can be entered. Such vessels
should therefore be chosen for the trade to this
place as draw but little water, so that they may
not have to unship any of their cargoes in order to
enter the river. Vessels of from 200 to 300
tons built as flat as possible are the best suited for
this trade. There are two periods in the year
when the navigation of the Danube is carried
on with most activity the autumn when ves-
sels take away a large part of the produce of
the year's crop, and the spring of the follow-
ing year, when they come to take on board
what they had not received previously. For the
spring trade, vessels should arrive as soon as pos
sible after the middle of March, as at that period
the ice has all disappeared. and if a little activity
be used in getting cargoes on board, they can
again leave before the fever season arrives, which
is often fatal to sailors who are not well looked
after, and who are frequently overworked. For
the autumn trade, the Danube should be reached
at the latest by the end of October, otherwise
vessels run a great risk of being caught by the ice,
and locked up for two or three months. As the
passages from the ports of Western Europe to the
Danube are frequently delayed by northerly winds,
vessels should leave England in August and the
Mediterranean ports in September at the latest
The navigation of the Black Sea is not so difficul

as that of the Channel, and the captains of vessels
are wrong to take on board pilots at Constanti-

nople, as very few of them are to be relied on. It
is very important, however, that in passing Con.

stantinople they should get from their consuls a list
of the signals made use of at the tower of Sulina.
If on arriving off the port they see a flag flying to
interdict the entrance, they should gain an offing,
or, if they prefer it, come to an anchor, choosing
ground sufficiently distant from the coast and to
the N.B. of the mouth of the river. If, on the
contrary, a port pilot should propose to them to
run in, they should be careful to inform him of

their exact draft of water, in order tnat he may
know whether they can safely pass the bar. When
the wind is not completely fair for entering, re-
course should be had to a steam tug, four of which

SPIRITUALISM.

Dr. Randolph, a prominent " medium" in the
earlier days of spiritualism, delivered a lecture
recently in New York on this subject. lie says :
" I was a medium above eight years ; during which
time I made three thousand speeches, and travelled
over several different countries proclaiming the new
gospel. I now regret that so much excellent breath
was wasted, and that my health of mind and body
was well nigh ruined. I have only begun to re-
gain both since I totally abandoned it, and to-day
had rather see the cholera in my house than a
spiritual medium ! For years I lived alone for
spiritualism and its cognates. Five of my friends
destroyed themselves, and I attempted it by direct
spiritual influence. Every crime in the calendar
has been committed by mortal movers of viewless
beings ! Adultery, fornication, suicide, desertions,
unjust divorces, prostitution, aboition, insanity,
are not evil, `I suppose ! I charge all these to this
scientific spiritualism. I will state here my opinion
of clairvoyant doctors. Experience has taught me
that 65 per cent. of the medical clairvoyants are
arrant 'duty es, humbugs, and catch-penny impostors,
who are no more clairvoyant than a brick wall."

Of Saturday, was again (yesterday) brought up at this
court, charged with carnally knowing two Young girls, aged
12 and 11 respectively, and named Emma and Rose 13u1-

Mr. Vann attended for the prisoner, and asked for a
remand, he having some witnesses to call. •
Mr. Perry, from the office of Mr. Buchaztan, who had
been instructed to prosecute by the London Society for the
Protection of Young Females, did not object, as 'one of his
witnesses was absent.

Upon the question of bail, Mr. Perry objected ; and the
magistrate said, if bail was put in, the usual notice must be
given to the prosecution.

The prisoner was again remanded.

SMASHING JOHN BULL'S WINDOWS.—EIiza Ellis, a
young woman, was brought up before Mr. Yardley, charged
with creating a disturbance and breaking twelve panes of
glass in the dwelling-house of Mr. John Bull, ship-broker,
of No. 3, Mapps-row, Stepney-green.
The prosecutor stated that he was clerk to a ship-broker
in the City, and that the prisoner was his wife's son's wife.
Mr. Yardley—Your step-son's wife, I suppose.
Mr. Bull—Yes, sir: (Yesterday evening she was going
away from my house, in which she had been living, with-
out giving any notice, and removed her goods. He remon-
strated with her, and she became very abusive, and was
greatly excited. He had put pp with a good deal of annoy-
mice from her.

Mr. Yardley—Now tell me, Mr. Bull, what she did last
night.

_Mr. Bull—Shabroke all my front windows.
Mr. Yardley—How many panes of glass?
Mr. Bull—Twelve, sir. The value is Bs.
The prisoner said she did break the windows, but was
very much provoked at the time.

Mr. Yardley--You are fined Bs., the value of the win-
dows broken, or 8 days' imprisonment and hard labour.
CUTTING AND WOUNDING.—WiIIianI Linsey, a seaman,
aged 21, a native of .Tamaica, was brought before Mr.
Yardley, charged with cutting and wounding Dimettius
Constantine, a Greek sailor.

It appeared that there was a quarrel among a number of
foreign seamen, located at a lodging house in Wellclose-
square, and that the prisoner challenged Constantine to
fight, and three others got round him and a kind of scramb-
ling fight took place.

The prosecutor swore that the Jamaica man stabbed him
three times, twice on the arm and once on the back. The
wounds on the arm penetrated his coat but not his flesh.
The stab en the back was a severe one, and the knife pene-
trated his flesh, and was broken.
After the examination of several witnesses, the prisoner
said that he struck the prosecutor with his fist, and did not
use the knife at all. Ile had many witnesses.
