liNIPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY).
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.

MANNING THE NAVY.
Lord STANLEY of ALDERLBY said he observed
that the report of the commissioners upon manning the
navy which was now in the hands of their lordships was not
accompanied by a copy of the commission itself, and he
also saw that the report was not signed by
the whole of the commissioners; there being an
absence of the name of one gentleman possessed of con-
siderable knowledge upon the subject of the navy. He
should like to know how it was that the report was not
signed by the whole of the commissioners.
The Earl of HARDWICKE stated that a copy of the
commission would appear with the appendix to the report
in the course of a few days, together with a paper by Mr.
Lindsay, containing his reasons for not affixing his signa-
ture to the report.
THE lONIAN ISLANDS.
Earl GREY asked the Government whether there would
be any objection to lay upon the table of the house a copy
of the resolutions laid before the lonian Parliament by the
Lord High Commissioner, together with Mr. Gladstone's
address. They were Merely formal documents which had
already been made public.
The Earl of DERBY said it would be highly incon-
venient to lay on the table the documents respecting the
lonian Islands, as it would open the door for a discussion
of the whole subject, and he therefore thought it would be
best if they were not produced before the whole question
could be discussed. He had received a telegram from
Mr. Gladstone, announcing that he would arrive
in Paris on the 9th of March, and if the
noble earl would postpone his motion respecting the consti-
tution of the lonian Islands from the 7th to the 14th of
March, all the papers relating to the subject would in the
meantime be laid before their lordships.
Earl GREY said be would, under those circumstances,
postpone his motion.
PREPAYMENT OF LETTERS.

Lord MONTEAGLE complained of the recent order
enforcing the prepayment of letters. He objected most
strongly to it, and moved for certain returns connected
with the order.

Lord COLCHESTER said he should have no objection
to produce the papers moved for. He believed still that
the order was one calculated to facilitate the business of the
Post-office, and well adapted for the public good. In con-
sequence of the feeling that had been shown against the
regulation in so many places he had decided on giving
orders for its withdrawal. (Hear, hear.)
The Duke of SOMERSET thought some plan ought to
be adopted by which letters addressed to large commercial
towns should be delivered at a much earlier period in the
morning than they were at present. Such an arrangement
would be a great convenience to a large number of mer-
cantile and commercial gentlemen.
After a few words from the Duke of ARGYLL the subject
dropped.

RUSSIA.

A St. Petersburg letter of the 15th says :
" Baron de Werther, the Prussian Minister, was
received yesterday by the Emperor to take leave.
The diplomatist has resided for several years in
Russia, and now definitively returns to his own
country."
Accounts from St. Petersburg of the 14th state
that the Grand Duke Nicholas has been in Moscow
for some time past, engaged in advancing the
"ser£•emancipation question," which still encounters
much resistance from the old Russian party, which
has its head-quarters in Moscow. The committee
formed in that city has, however, of late displayed
great er Teadiness to meet the views of the Etnperer.

The supply of fat beasts to-day was good, with a full
attendance of buyers, and the lait week's prices were fully
maintained. The number of sheep was smaller this week,
and sold at higher rates. The show of pigs was numerous,
and of good quality. Fat and store calves were more
scarce and well sold.

ported, sunk, and two men supposed to be lost.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.--
Bad legs, bad breasts, ulcers, abscesses, cancers, and
woundsof all kinds may be thoroughly healed by the appli-
cation of the Ointment to the parts affected, after they have
been duly fomented, or washed with warm water ; the dis-
charge is not checked at once, for such sudden check must,
of course, be always dangerous. Nature is the noblest of
physicians, and must not be opposed, but • seconded. All
sores are, for a time, the safety valves of the constitution,
and should not be closed or healed until they assume a
healthier character under the action of this powerful Oint-
ment, assisted• by a course of the Pills, which assist and
purify, the depraved humours of the body.

F_RENCII REPUBLICAN DEMON-

STRATION.

Last night a public meeting, convened by the
committee of French proscrits, known as the
" Commune Revolutionnaire," was held at Fitzroy
Hall, Little Portland-street, Oxford Market, in
commemoration of the second French Republic of
the 24th of February, 1848. About 250 proscrits
of all grades, and of both sexes, and almost entirely
French, were present on the occasion, the building
being filled iu every part. The interest manifested
in the proceedings of the evening, even by children,
was something remarkable to witness ; and on
every countenance the bitterness of exile seemed
to be softened by the hope that out of the impending
European crisis some relief for their sorrows and
sufferings might at length arise. It is proper
to add also that the greatest decorum and mode-
ration characterised the speeches that were deli-
vered by the several speakers, which were also
filled with genuine expressions of sympathy for the
oppressed of every despotism.
The proceedings commenced at nine o'clock, when

the chair was taken by a French gentleman,whose
name was not communicated to the meeting, but
whose impressive language immediately engaged
the attention of his auditory. He reminded them
that this was the eighth annual occasion on which
they had met in exile to commemorate the Revolu-
tion of February, 1848, which they all had so much
reason to extol, and the overthrow of -which by the
very man whom it had elevated from an inglorious
expatriation to supreme power, they had so long
and still so bitterly deplored. The object of their
meeting there that night was to keep alive in their
memories and in their hearts that revolution, which
must ever be dear to them for the purity and devo-
tion which it called into action; but that was not
all that was incumbent upon them at such a time.
It was their duty, each according to his own powers,
to assist in the concentration of thought and energy,
and, if necessary, of material means, by which they
could be restored to the exercise of the rights of
which they had been dispossessed, and to the
country from which they had been shamefully
driven. To that great end he urged them to give
their minds, and in the meanwhile would assure
them that success was far more possible than ap-
peared to them now. (Cheers.) In conclusion the
chairman announced that M. Felix Pyat would
address them.

THE UNIVERSITY OF ABERDEEN.

The following reply has been made. by. Mr.
Carlyle to an application for permission to nominate
him for the office of Rector of Marischal College,
Aberdeen, in the prospect of an election :
" Chelsea, Feb. 11.
Dear Sir,—l am much obliged to you and your young
friends in Marischal College ; but there are two reasons
why, as appears to me, you ought not to proceed with your
nomination. The first is that you have no good likelihood,
as far as I can guess, of carrying your election. This is a
very important preliminary reason. The second is, that
being extremely busy in these months, and otherwise averse
to travel, and, in truth, an enemy rather than a friend to
public haranguing as at present practised, I do not think it
likely I could get to Aberdeen on such an errand, even if
you were unexpeetp:lly successful. Pray desist, therefore.
fo me the honour is without importance at this stage of my
life, and, in fact, has no value at all, except, as testifying
your regard to me, of which Jean now otherwisehold myself
assured. And to you have not I already spoken'—to such
of you as care to listen—and, with a great,deal of delibera-
tion, given you the truest advice I had ? Accept many
thanks from me, and believe, all of you, voters for and
voters against, that nobody, elected or eligible, can wish
you more truly than I do continued increase of intelligence
and of all the nobleness that should go along with it. And
so, with sincere regards and thanks, I remain yours faith-
fully, T. CARLYLE.
Mr. John Forbes, Marischal College,
Kingsland-house, Aberdeen.

LAW INTELLIGENC.E-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lords Justices.)
APPEAL-GRESSLEY V. MOUSLEY.

The further hearing of this part-heard appeal was re-
sumed this morning.
This was an appeal from a decision of Vice-Chancellor
Sir John Stuart, setting aside the sale of Mr. Mouseyl's in-
terest in the property in question.
Sir Richard Bethell, Q.C., resumed his argument for the
appellant, Mr. Mousley, and is now being heard.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ATTEMPTING TO OBTAIN GOODS BY FALSE PRETENCES.
—William Day, described as a servant, was charged with
attempting to obtain a quart bottle of Eau de Cologne, the
property of Mr. Robert Douglas, perfumer, &c., of 23, New
Bond-street, by falsely representing that he was sent by
Captain Kepple, of the Army and Navy Club.
From the evidence of Henry Filbury, clerk to the prose-
cutor, it appeared that on Wednesday afternoon the prisoner
came to the shop and asked if they had an account with
Captain Kepple, of the Army and Navy Club. He informed
him they had, and he then asked for a bottle of Eau de Cologne,
and he then handed him a 2s. 6d. bottle. The prisoner
then pointed to a quart bottle, and said he would take that,
but Mrs. Douglas refused to let him do so, and said she would
send it immediately. He then gave an address, and went
away, and the Eau de Cologne was sent to the address, but
the person was not known there. The captain's correct
address was afterwards ascertained, when it was found ho
had given no such order, and requested, if the prisoner was
met with, that he might be given into custody; and, on his
being subsequently met with, he was handed over to a con-
stable.

It was stated that it was not the first time of the prisoner's
being at the court, and that he was only just out of prison
for a similar offence.

The prisoner, who said he had no regular home, was
then remanded.

ELECTRICAL INFLUENCE IN HEALTH AND
DISEASE.

Just Published, price ls., free by Post for Fourteen Stamps,
QECOND LIFE : or ELECTRICAL NERVOUS
ki 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.

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.—Every
person having an interest in domestic or farm animals
should obtain a supply of this celebrated and economical
food, which will prove invaluable during the approaching
season. For keeping horses ifl good condition it is unequal-
led. Pigs fatten with surprising rapidity upon it, and their
flesh Increases in flavour and value. Cowkeepers will find
great advantage in the increased quantity and improved qua-
lity of the milk during its use. All animals are benefited by
it. A pamphlet on this interesting subject, accompanied by
Testimonials from the principal Nobility, Gentry, and Agri-
culturists, forwarded on application. In casks containing

THE ARMY.

The Duke of Cambridge, accompanied by Maj,:r-
Gen. Forster, Deputy A djt.-Gen., and his aide-de-
camp, yesterday visited the camp at Aldershott.
After the inspection of the troops in camp, the
General Commanding-in-Chief and staff returned
to town in the evening.
The War Department having decided on adopt-
ing
the proclamation of the Governor-General of
India in respect to the East India troops now in
England, and giving them an opportunity of either
transferring their services to her Majesty or claim-
ing their discharge, Lieut.-Col. W..F. Hay, second
in command at the East India depot, Marley,
ar-
rived at the Royal Engineer establishment, Cha-
'than), on ThUrsdayfor the purpose of communicat-
ing the intentions of the Government to the East
India Sappers and Miners attached to that esta-
blishment. The whole of the `non-commissioned
011104lW end men having been assembled on the pa-
rade-ground, the Governor-General's proclamation
was read, after which the Lieut.-Col. explained to
the men that if they wished to transfer their ser-
vices to the Queen her Majesty would accept them,
but at the same time any man who wished might
take hiS discharge, of course, forfeiting all claims
for pension or any other advantages to which he
might be entitled. The result of this appeal was,
that out of the 150 men of the East India Engineers
only 26 expressed their intention of taking their
discharge, and these, it is stated, would have trans-
ferred their services to her Majesty had a slight
bounty been given them. The men who claim their
discharge are three sergeants, 14 corporals, and nine
Sippers. The men for discharge were immediately
deprived of 4heir arms, and yesterday morning left
Brompton for Warley, in charge of Lieut,-Colonel
Hay, for the purpose of having their discharge
papers made ont.
The disposable force of the Ist garrison Artillery
Brigade were yesterday paraded in front of their
quarters at Woolwich for the purpose of hearing
the sentence and witnessing the degradation of a
sergeant, a bombardier, and gunner of the brigade,
who had each been convicted of 'leaving the bar-
racks at night. The prisoners were separately in
charge of an escort, and, in answer to their names,
they advanced three paces, when the judgment of
the court martial was read by the adjutant on duty,
Capt. Morris. The usual form of divesting them
of their badges, &c., was then gone through, when
the sergeant was reduced to the ranks, and the
other two were escorted to prison. The brigade
was subsequently marched to the barrack-field, and
put . through a course of brigade drill, in which
exercise the whole of the junior officers took part,
under the instruction and direction of Capt. Morris.
.The Woolwich division of Royal Marine Light
Infantry, consisting of about 400 recruits, was yes-
terday inspected in the barrack square by the com-
mandant, Col. Stransham. They presented a most
satisfactory appearance, the commandant express-
ing his approbation, durink the inspection, of the
readiness and aptitude of the young recruits under
arms.

(AN TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA;
kl 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
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 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."—

EDINBURGH AND BATHGATE.

The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders was
held at Edinburgh on Thursday, Mr. T. Hill in the
chair.

The dividend account showed that out of the
half-year's rent due on the 31st of July of £4,750
there remained, after payment of debenture interest,
&c., a balance of £3,295 applicable to dividend.
The receipts on the capital account amounted to
£251,886, which had all been expended, except a
balance of £l2O, and of the above capital £62,700
consisted of debentures, on £25,000 of which 4,1 per
cent. was paid, and on the remainder 4 per cent.
The report stated that the directors were enabled
at last Whitsunday to renew the debenture bonds
then falling due at a reduction from 5 to 4 per cent.
The directors recommended a dividend at the rate
of 6s. 3d. per share, free of income tax, and 4 per
cent. on sums paid in anticipation of calls.

The CHAIRiAN moved the approval of the report,
and, in answer to questions, stated that with the
reduced rate of debenture interest, the dividend
would be -increased next half-year; and that the
traffic was satisfactorily increasing, giving them the
prospect of eventually receiving the half of the
surplus profits.
The report was unanimously approved.

BOYDELL'S TRACTION ENGINE.

During the last two days the capabilities of this
admirable road locomotive have been publicly
tested in Hyde-park previous to the engine and
its train of waggons being despatched to Bom-
bay, in accordance with the wish of the Secretary
of State for India. The engine though less com-
pact than that known as Bray's patent, is never-
theless as beautiful a machine, perfectly under con-
trol even for the sharpest turnings of ordinary
streets, and easy both in ascent and descent of
steep inclines. Both patents are fitted with the
peculiar mechanism over the driving wheel which
travel

over
ta
forms an endless tramway. In the engine of
Boydell exhibited yesterday and the day previous
ot what has
only
beenthis endless rail acted with the most perfect satis-
faction,sted
that quitethe

engine
u
could not

actually improved by the equal and broad
compres-
sion of the rails. Though nominally of
power the boilers yield steam foranindicator of
mure than double their amount, and the
engine can
.
with ease draw from 60 to 70
tons along ordinary
it
tnrnpike roads at the • a eof four miles per hour.
Attached to the machine e y sterday were five power-
ful waggons specially made for the purpose by
Croskill, and all.
of which, by removing a pin or
pivot from
between the two leading wheels, are
enabled to follow every turn of the engine with a
serpent-like movement which, gives the utmost
freedom and flexibility to the whole convoy. Yas-
terday more than once the whole train turned. 'in
less than half its length, and that, too, in passi 'Ling
over grass and uneven ground. The indentat ion
made by the passage of the wheels was certainl yno
more than would have been made by an ordi nary
coal waggon. After two o'clock 160 soldie• rs of
the Guards were in attendance and rode ii 4 the
waggons, and with this load the whole train- was
taken easily across tie
level parts of the . park
at the rate of six miles an hour. The rem alt of
the trials were in the highest degree sa• •

POLYT.ECILYIC INSTITUTION.

A'public meeting was held yesterday at Willis's
Rooms to consider the propriety of founding a com-
pany to continue the advantages which the Poly-
technic Institution has conferred upon science and
education. The Earl of Shaftesbury occupied the
chair.

The report stated that as the old Polytechnic
Company had expended the whole of their capital
—35,000/.—upon the building and plant, they were
unable to maintain their position when they were
called upon to defray the liabilities imposed upon
them as the legal consequence of the accident which
occurred on the 3d January last. It therefore be-
came necessary that they should sell off their
plant and wind up their affairs. However, to
prevent an occurrence which would entail
the loss of those advantages which the Poly-
technic Institution had hitherto afforded the
public, it became desirable to organise a
new company, under the Limited Liability Act, to
buy up the concern and continue the lectures, &e.
Looking to the receipts of the old company, there
was every reason to think that the returns would
amply remunerate those who would embark their
money in the undertaking, especially as, instead of
a capital of 35,0001., the capital of the old company,
the capital of the new company would be only
20,0001., with 14,0001. called up. In the first
place, there would be a reduction in the amount of
rent to the extent of 3921. per annum, and, exclu-
sive of diving-bell fees and the fees for other extra-
ordinary entertainments, it was calculated that
after
f,
there would be a surplus
the year,
r,equivalent to a dividend of
of
o. payingupon allth expenses,
6 per cent. It was also arrange d that the share-
holders should have the right of free admission to
