MUSIC.

I Loved Thee in Secret. Ballad. Written by
C. M. K. Composed by Mrs. John Scott.

011ivier.

An exquisite love song—replete, both in words
and melody, with genuine tenderness. The grace-
ful poetry and the pathetic music of this charming
ballad win their way without an effort through our
ears to our heart ; and we accept the song at once
as a welcome favourite. If only by reason of its
combined sweetness and simplicity, it is deserving
of what, we doubt not, it will obtain—an extended
popularity. I Loved Thee in Secret will not be
the less acceptable in many a boudoir and drawing-
room, whether of Brighton or the metropolis, from
the ballad being inscribed to Madame Kuhe, the
wife of the distinguished pianist.

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

MARYL-EBONE.

There is every appearance of a sharp contest for
the representation of this borough, the friends of
both Col. Romily and Mr. Edwin James being both
actively engaged in the measures to secure the
success of their respective candidates. A public
meeting of the supporters of Mr. James was held
yesterday afternoon at Lawson's-rooms, Gower-
street, New-road, at which that gentleman de-
livered an address in explanation of his political
principles, which was necessarily but an echo of
the speech reported in our columns yesterday. The
learned gentleman was very warmly received, and
having satisfactorily
.replied to questions which
were put to him, a resolution accepting him as a
fit representative of the borough, and pledging the
meeting to give him their support, was, on the
motion of Mr. Kenny, seconded by Mr. J. L. Coul-
ton, carried with but few dissentients. A meeting
of the friends and supporters of Col. Romilly also
took place in the evening in the same room, Mr.
Farrer in the chair. Col. Romilly was present, and
addressed the meeting amidst some confusion. A
resolution pledging the meeting to his support was
then moved, and an amendment was proposed
favourable to Mr. James. The confusion, however,
was so great that it could not be distinctly ascer-
tained which party had the majority.

WEST RIDING.
WAKEFIELD, MONDAY.
The election of a representative for the West
Riding, in_the room of Lord Goderich, took place
here to-day. There were between two and three
thousand persons present. The usual preliminaries
having been gone through, the only candidate in
the field, Sir John Ramsden, was then proposed by
Mr. Thompson, chairman of the North Eastern
Railway, as a fit and proper person to represent
the borough in Parliament. This was seconded by
Mr. Dunn, of Sheffield, and there being no opposi-
tion the High Sheriff declared Sir John Ramsden
duly elected. The hon. gentleman then addressed
the electors at considerable length, returning thanks
for the honour conferred upon him, and explaining
the principles by which he would be actuated in
his proceedings in Parliament.
London, England, 1859-02-22

BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE

Sir J. rAKINGTON appealed to those hon. members
who had motions for Friday night, that they would not
press them that night, but enable him to lay before the
house the Navy Estimates. He moved that the standing
orders of the day should be suspended on Friday, to enable
him to bring forward the Navy Estimates.
Some hon. members intimated their willingness to accede
to the wishes of the right hon. gentleman.

THAMES.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON A POLICE-CONSTABLE.—
Henry Anderson and Charles Walker, two rough-looking
fellows, costermongers, were brought before Mr. Yardley,
charged with assaulting Henry Young, a police-constable,
No. 365 K.

The complainant stated that he was directed by his in-
spector to keep a look-out after thieves in Emmett-street,
Limehouse, where several robberies have been recently
committed. He saw many suspicious characters loitering
about, and they passed him several times. He followed
three of them between one and two o'clock this morning
into the Horns and Chequers public-house, Limehouse-hole,
for the purpose of identifying them. He went up stairs
with the landlord, and a man at the door of a room in which

vafFla vi gd,in cs• nn sat --45.1.
his fist and knocked him down. The prisoner An-
derson called out, "Kill the -," and took his truncheon
from him, and hit him on the head with it, and it raised a
swelling, and he had since been in great pain. The other
prisoner then hit him with his fist, and forced him down
stairs, and laid hold of him by the hair of his head and ill-
used him. He lost a good deal of blood, and was very much
hurt. Ho lost his truncheon, and it had not been re-
covered.

In answer to Mr. Yardley, the witness said there was
great confusion in the house, and many persons assembled.
He was sure the prisoners were the parties who assaulted
him. The first man that struck him made his escape.
The prisoners strongly denied having participated in the
assault upon the constable, and said they wore hard-work-
ing men, and merely went to the Horns and Chequers to
assist in getting up a subscription for a woman in distress.
The officers, on being appealed to, said the prisoners
were unknown to them, and Roche, the gaoler, said they
appeared to be hardworking men.

- Dir. Yardley asked the constable whether he might not
be mistaken ; but he repeated his evidence, and said he was
not mistaken, and that he saw Anderson give his truncheon
to another man.

Two witnesses were called by the prisoners, who threw
so much doubt on the matter that Mr. Yardley determined
to adjourn the case for further inquiry.
FALSE IMPRISONMENT.—IMPORTANT TO THE PUBLIC.
—Several cases in which innocent parties had been given
into custody, called forth strong remarks from the magis-
trate. A man was charged with stealing a coat, which his
tailor said he had made and sold to him. Another man
was charged with stealing a can, which had never been
lost; and a third for committing a robbery in Poplar, be
being in bed and asleep at the time. Mr. Yardley said if
all the cases of false imprisonment which occur in this
court were tried, it would make the fortunes of four or five
attorneys.

EAST INDIA LOAN.

On the bringing up of the report on the India: loan,
Sir G. C. LEWIS thought it would be more convenient
that whatever discussion might arise on this subject should
be taken on the second reading instead of at the present
stage. If that arrangement met the views of the Govern-
ment he hoped they would fix the second reading for a day
when the house would have an opportunity for a full discus'
sion. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. SLANEY dissented from the gloomy views taken by
the right hon. member for Halifax and others of the pro-
spects of Indian finance. The debt of India amounted be-
fore the mutiny to but two years' revenue—a state of things
calculated, when they considered the boundless and unde-
veloped resources of that country, to inspire confidence.
rather than despondency for the future. The people of
India, who had been ground down for many centuries 'bY
successive conquerors, only required fair play and gaxid_
government to render them happy and prosperous and,'"
secure their attachment to our rule. Essentially an ag";
cultural people, no less than three-fourths of the produce of
the land was exacted from them in the shape of rent'
whereas in this country the landlord's share did not excew
one-fourth or one-fifth. The introduction of good gove112::,
ment into India would lead to employment of much capit,',',
which was now hidden away, and would also open a den'
for investments, which was now much needed by that coq;
try. At the same time the condition of the natives Wonld
be much improved ; they would produce many
i kinds of rah
material required lw our manufacturers, and n return
it would take large quantities of our manufactures. Under
such circumstance we should hold our empire, not by fraud
and force, but by the ties of mutual interest and gratituae4
our revenue would materially increase, and the people eh
India would rise through material and moral improvement
to that religious advancement which all must wish them.;
The report was adopted, and leave given to bring in a biLb

At the opening of the market supplies were fair, but poor

prices. Other articles much about the same. The wheat
trade has been very heavy of late.

ELECTRICAL INFLUENCE IN HEALTH AND
DISEASE.

Just Published, price ls., free by Post for Fourteen Stamps,
SECOND LIFE : or ELECTRICAL NERVOUS
FORCE ; a MEDICAL WORK, intended for the special
perusal of all who are suffering from the various forms of
NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, and the distress-
ing ulterior consequences to which they lead ; with practical
Observations on the great Curative power of ELECTRO-
GALVANISM in the treatment of these Disorders, by infus-
ing tone and vigour in constitutions relaxed or debilitated
from various enervating causes. Illustrated with Cases com-
piled from the Note-book of a Registered Medical Practi-
tioner of twenty years' standing.
Unlike many vaunted restoratives, Electricity is one which
commends itself to the medical man as being accordant with
the soundest teachings of physiology. By the most obvious
indication it admits of being shown that the Electrical and
Nervous energies are identical ; hence, that when the latter
fails, the former can take its place, and that when, from irre-
gularities of any kind, the nervous system has become debili-
tated, paralysed, or exhausted, and the patient brought to a
condition little short of total prostration, then by the action
of Electricity, imparting certainty and efficacy to medical
treatment, he can be re-invigorated, and his health re-esta-
blished to a degree almost warranting the designation of
SECOND LIFE.

Sir DE LACY EVANS moved for a return of desertions
from the army between January Ist and December 31st,

parties or staff, by the corps of Pensioners, by Militia Staff
showing, finally, total number of enlistments in the United
Kingdom in the year 1858, and the total number of the re-

slave trade at Zanzibar, and along the Mozambique coast.

MUSIC.

I Loved Thee in Secret. Ballad. Written by
C. M. K. Composed by Mrs. John Scott.

011ivier.

An exquisite love song—replete, both in words
and melody, with genuine tenderness. The grace-
ful poetry and the pathetic music of this charming
ballad win their way without an effort-through our
ears to our heart; and we accept the song at once
as it welcome favourite. If only by reason of its
combined sweetness and simplicity, it is deserving
of what, we doubt not, it will obtain—an extended
popularity. I Loved Thee in Secret will not be
the less acceptable in many a boudoir and drawing-
room, whether of Brighton or the metropolis, from
the ballad being inscribed to Madame Kuhe, the
wife of the distinguished pianist.

of thei friends and supporters of Col. Romilly also
took place in the evening in the same room, Mr.
Farrer in the chair. Col. Romilly was present, and
addressed the meeting amidst some confusion. A
resolution pledging the meeting to his support was
then moved, and an amendment was proposed
favourable to Mf. James. The confusion, however,
was so great that it could not be distinctly ascer-
tained which party had the majority.

WEST RIDING.
WAKEFIELD, MONDAY.
The election of a representative for the West
Riding, in the room of Lord Goderich, took place
here to-day. There were between two and three
thousand persons present. The usual preliminaries
having been gone through, the only candidate in
the field, Sir John Ramsden, was then proposed by
Mr. Thompson, chairman of the North Eastern
Railway, as a fit and proper person to represent
the borough in Parliament. This was seconded by
Mr. Dunn, of Sheffield, and there being no opposi-
tion the High Sheviff declared Sir John Ramsden
duly elected. The hon. gentleman then addressed
the electors at considerable length, returning thanks
for the honour conferred upon him, and explaining
the principles by which he would be actuated in
his proceedings in Parliament.

whether orders had been sent out to the Government of
India for the introduction of a bill making it penal for any
European to enter or reside in any of the new territories,
Nagpore, Oude, Pegu, and others, without a licence, or to
remain after the licence was withdrawn ; and, if such orders
had been sent out, copy thereof.
Lord STANLEY said that no such orders had been sent
out, nor was it contemplated by the Government.

George Peak, a young lad, recently in the service
of Mr. Appleyard, grocer, of North Cray, was
placed at the bar on a remanded charge of burglary
and stealing a cash-box containing £44 Ss., the

Subsequently, on the night of Sunday, the 14th
inst., his house was broken open, and a cash-box
and £44 Bs. stolen.
Police-sergeant Ebbs deposed, in consequence Of

Leaving a balance of increase to the population
upon the entire year, of merely 30,381. Of the
natives of England who quitted our shores upon a
daily agregate of 236, the report tells us that "9,192
sailed to British North America, 39,375 to Austra-
lia and New Zealand, and 37,333 to the United
States." By a curious deduction from propor-
tions, it is ascertained that, "in the year, to
every 100,000 persons living, 1,648 married. The
births being at the rate of 3,435, the deaths at the
rate of 2,175 to every 100,000 living." One
very remarkable table in regard to the marriages
chews, " that in the counties where the women are
the most ignorant, they marry in the largest pro-
portions under 21 years of age, and lose the largest
number of their children." Enough, however, has
been written, in these few words, to justify our
remark in reference to the suggestiveness of Mr.
GRAHAM'S lucid and laborious compilation.

THE TYROL.

The Polish Journal of Posen gives an acount o:
a manifestation in the Austrian Tyrol :

" The Archduke Charles Louis, governor of the
Tyrol, assembled a few days ago, at Innspruck, the
volunteers who had returned from the war, and
thanked them for their zeal. A major, who is
rather elderly, advanced and said, We only pre-
sented ourselves at the third summons, because the
promises so often made to us were never kept.
And if the promise which has since been given be
not observed, we will never confide in the word of
the Emperor again.' Phe Archduke recommended
the bold speaker to reflect that such language might
have serious consequences for him. Theonly con-
sequence it can have,' answered the major, is that
I shall be shut up in prison, as so many others have
been who told the truth ; but that will be of no use,
for all these here behind me will testify to the
truth of what I say, and you cannot confine us all.'
And all the volunteers cried Yes ! we affirm that
he speaks truth The Archduke hastened to
break up the assemblage."

THE F.RENC.H DISARMAMENT.

(From the Moniteur.)
The Emperor having ordered the effective of the
army to be reduced from a war to a peace footing,
the Marshal Minister of War by a circular of the
22nd inst., has given to the military authorities
the following instructions, a summary of which
appeared in The Sun of yesterday :
The soldiers entitled to their discharge in 1859,
now serving under their colours, wilrbe sent in an-
ticipation to their homes, and will be inscribed
on the reserve lists in the recruiting depots, where
orders will be sent to deliver to the men their dis-
charge furloughs.
From this discharge, which will take place on
the 20th of September next, are excepted :-
1. The men proposed for retirement on pension.
2. Men declaring their intention of re-enlisting.
3. Volunteers and parties that have re-enlisted into
the service, in virtue of the law of March 21, 1832,
who may not wish to leave their corps before
the end of their time of service. 4. Those
who have re-enlisted and the volunteers after
liberation, who serve under the conditions
of the law of April 26, 1855. 5. Those
military men who, as instructors, belong to the
training companies of fusiliers or pioneers.
Subalterns, corporals, or brigadiers, and picked
men, releasable in 1859, who shall be discharged
before the expiration of their term, shall be re-
placed in the corps.
Soldiers discharged before their time, and who
may desire to reside in the departments of the
Seine and of Seine-et-Oise, cannot obtain leave
to do so unless they have their family settled
there, or can prove their capability of earning a
livelihood by practising some trade or profession.
Moreover, the inspectors-general, and the gene-
rals commanding the military divisions, will de-
liver furloughs of six months to those men who,
since their admission into the army, come under
one of the cases of exemption laid down by the
13th article of the law of March 21, 1832, and
who shall prove the same, and to those who show
that they are the indispensable support of their
family.
The departure of these soldiers will take place
on the Ist of October, 1859.
Excepted from this measure are those men
who serve in virtue of re-engagement or of an
engagement voluntarily contracted under the con-
ditions of the law of April 26, 1855.
London, England, 1859-08-25

RUSSIA.

The Journal de Saint Petersburg, in an article
on the speech of the Emperor Napoleon at the ban-
quet of the 14th August, declares that the speech

is both conciliatory and firm, and expresses sur-
prise that some of the German journals could have
given any other interpretation to it. The article
says :—" The allusion to a war was only made in
the Imperial speech in the event of the independ-
ence of France being menaced. No one assuredly
will see in the noble confidence which the Emperor
places in the courage and the force of France, should
her independence be threatened, any reason to fear
that peace will not be maintained. If peace be
exposed to danger, it is permitted to say that it is
not in that confidence the danger exists ; and that
if some persons discover in the words of the French
Sovereign a peril even distant for peace, it is only
by giving them a singular elasticity and a meaning
which assuredly he never intended them to bear."

Abd-el-Kader, though resigned to inactivity in
his quiet retreat in the East, seems by no means
inclined to let the world forget the fact of his
existence. He has a decided taste for epistolary
labours, and frequently seizes on the opportunity of
addressing letters to eminent persons entrusted
with high office in his native country. The appoint-
ment of the Count do Chasseloup-Laubat to the
Ministry of Algeria has called forth from the Emir
a complimentary letter couched in the following
terms :

" Praise be to God—To the nobleman of excel-
lent qualities and elevated sentiments, Count de
Chasseloup Laubat, Minister of Algeria and all the
external provinces of France, greeting. When we
were hearing of your great qualities and magnifi-
cent actions, the intelligence arrived of your high
and' happy nomination. We thank God, who has
inspired the Emperor with the means of good, and
has enabled him to improve the condition of the
country and its inhabitants by putting things in
their right places, and giving power to those who
know how to bind and how to loose. We hope all
will be well with your excellency, whose character
is worthy to make us hope that whatever proceeds
from you will be good.—From Abd-el-Kader Ben-
Mahhi-el-Din, sth of Chaaual, 1275."

" It is stated positively," says a letter from
Vienna, " that the whole system of the Austrian
Consulates is to be re-organized. The number of
those establishments in the East will be consider-
ably increased. Austria has now in different parts
of the world 322 consulates and consular agencies,
of which 95 are in Turkey."

M. Farini, Dictator of Modena and Parma, has
issued two decrees, one appointing Professor Man-
fredi chief of the civil administration of Parma, and
another enacting that from the Ist September the
customs line between Parma and Modena shall be
suppressed.

The horses purchased for the mobilisation of the
Prussian army have been sold off in Berlin and its
environs, at prices far below what were paid for
them. The average loss will, it is said, amount to
90fr. per head.

SARDINIA.

The Piechnontese Gazette describes as follows the
ceremony of delivering up to the Sardinian autho-
rities the five gunboats launched on the Lake of
Garda, and which, as already stated, have been
presented to Victor Emmanuel by Napoleon III.:
" On the 16th, at 8 a.m., Rear-Admiral d'Au-
vare, commander-in-chief of the Sardinian navy,
proceeded in company with Gen. Dollard and
other Piedmontese officers to the pier of the port
of Desenzano, to which one of the gunboats was
moored, and there he met Rear-Admiral Dupouy,
of the French navy. The gunboats hoisted French
colours, which were saluted with a double salvo
of 21 guns from the gunboats, as also from the
Piedmontese field-artillery drawn up on the bank.
At the same time the brigade Pinerolo fired three
rounds with three cheers for the Emperor of the
French. The French colours were then furled up,
and the vessels were formally delivered. The
gun-
boats then hoisted Sardinian colcurs, which were
saluted as before, with three cheers for the King.
The ceremony ended with the troops defiling before
the officers of both nations. Desenzano was gaily
decked out for the occasion with the French and
Sardinian flags. At 5 p.m. the Sardinian authori-
ties gave a banquet to the French Rear-Admiral
and the officers of his suite, of which the munici-
pality and ecclesiastical authorities of the place also
partook, together with the Sardinian officers.
Rear-Admiral d'Auvare has also caused a banquet
to be prepared for the 160 sailors of both services
then at Desenzano. After the banquet there was
a ball, and the town was illuminated. Rear-Admi-
ral d'Auvare also delivered 18,000 francs to Rear-
Admiral Dupouy, to be distributed to the workmen
and sailors who had aided in putting together and
launching the flotilla on the lake."

7HE VICTORIA CROSS.

The ceremony of presenting the Victoria Cross to
Major James M'Leod Innes, of the Bengal Engi-
neers, for his gallant conduct when, as Assistant
Field Engineer to General Franks' acting force
while advancing from Jaunpore to Lucknow,
took place at Calcutta on the Ist of July, in the
presence of a large body of spectators and troops.
The troops, consisting of; a party of Artillerymen
and a portion of her Majesty's 3d Buffs and 99th
Regiment, having been drawn up in line, they were
at 0 o'clock inspected by the Governor-General,
attended by Sir James Outram, Sir John Hearsy,
and his staff. They were then formed into three
sides of a square, in the centre of which the Gover-
nor-General took up his position. Major Innes,

be presented with every military honour, in order
t•
to show the signal distinction i which her Majesty
desired to be attached to this reward of valour.
The despatch from General F ranksrecording Major
Innes's distinguished services, and recommending
him for the distinction
then read, after which nowth
tnho w 1
rt.o t b ei c ocnrfoss was erred, waas t _
tached to Major Innes's bereas ite bory athe Governor-
General himself,gratification he
who expressed the
felt in conferring
so high an honour on an officer so
young., yet so distinguished. Briefly recapitulating
to the assembled spectators and troops the services
which had been performed by Major Innes, he de-
tailed in full the particular service for which the
Cross was awarded—Viz., that in the action at Sul-
' tanpore Major Innes, far in advance of the column,
unsupported mid single-handed, seized one after the
other, and held until assistance reached him, two
guns of the enemy in position—the first being seized
at the very moment when the gunner (whom Major
Innes shot) was about to apply the match, and by
this noble act of well-timed daring the lives of many
' soldiers were preserved. The Governor-General
concluded a brief but spirited speech with a well-
merited enlogium on the Bengal Engineers, and by
expressing a wish that Major Trines might long
live to wear the Cross as a mark of the 11 d
we -earne
favour of his Sovereign, and as a title to
the respect
of his fellow-countrymen. The troops then gave a.
general salute in honour of Major Innes, and
the
proceedings terminated by an inspection of thr
force. I
