BURNER, the great desideratum of the age to all con-
sumers of Gas. By its use the objections to the introduction
of Gas into private dwellings are removed, inasmuch as every
particle of gas, on reaching. the orifice of the burner, is fairly
consumed, and thus the diffusion of those noxious vapours so
injurious to health, and destructive to works of art, bindings
of books, &c., is entirely prevented.
The burner can be fitted by the most inexperienced hand to
any chandelier or bracket.
May be had at the Depot, 69, Fleet-street, E.C., price Two
Shillings each one sent on receipt of 30 postage stamps.

SURE CURE.-LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC
BALSAM, without confining the bowels or affecting the
head, truly efficacious and pleasant, is admitted to be the best
medicine for immediately relieving coughs, colds, confirmed
cases of asthma, and consumption. It frequently cures per-
sons whom the faculty pronounce incurable, admirably allays
the tickling which provokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons de-
prived of sleep, or even ying down for fear of suffocation,
may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it —Pre-
pared only and sold by W. Lambert, chemist, 20, Jermyn-

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

LAMBETH.

Mr. IV. Williams, the senior representative of
this borough, has reconsidered bis determination to
retire into private life, and intends once more to
solicit the suffrages of his constituents. Mr. Wil-
liams explains his change of purpose thus :
" I leave received pressing invitations from all parts of the
borough, and to-day a requisition numerously signed has
been presented to me to allow myself to be put in nomina-
tion as a candidate for my re- election. Having consulted
my medical adviser, who has informed me, that by taking
great care of myself he has no apprehension that my health
will disable me from giving the attention I have hitherto
done to Parliamentary duties, I have therefore reluctantly
complied with the urgent request of my numerous friends
to give you an opportunity of choosing those whom you
think will most efficiently represent you in the next Par-
liament, which will be most eventful."

THE LONDON.—The attention of Clergymen,
Officers, and Professional Gentlemen, is especially
drawn to the advantages offered in these elegant and spa-
cious Saloons, which fulfil all the requirements of a West-

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 15th have reached us.
The Senate had held a secret sitting to settle the
preliminaries of the trial of M. Esteban Collantes.
The Chamber of Deputies had nominated a com-
mittee to support the accusation against that gen-
tleman, and appointed M. Calderon Collantes
(though of the same name, this gentleman is not a
relative of the accused) president, and M. Cidraque
secretary of the committee. M. Calderon Collantes
begged to be excused from serving, on the ground
that he is father of the Minister of Foreign Affairs,
and might therefore be suspected of prejudice,
but the Chamber declined to grant his request.
The Espana, Leon, and Parlamento had been
seized. One of the journals having stated that
some Peruvian vessels, which were blockading
Guayaquil, had captured a Spanish merchant
vessel, the Maria y Julia, at the Island of Pana,
near the equator, had hauled down her flag, and
taken her crew prisoners. The Gazette states that
the Government has not received any intelligence
of the kind.

Advices have been received from Rome to the
16th. The departure of volunteers which, had
hitherto been inconsiderable now begins to increase
rapidly. 250 young men have left Perouse for
Piedmont. A seditious riot took place the day
before yesterday among the students of Bologna,
and the troops were obliged to fire upon them. It
is stated that several persons were wounded. Aus-
tria is increasing the garrison of Ferrara.

A Stuttgard letter, in the Nuremberg Correspon-
dence, says :—" We learn from a reliable source
that a treaty relating to military affairs has been
concluded between Prussia and the States of
Southern Germany. It is said the articles of this
treaty are satisfactory in a German point of view."
A letter from Heidelberg states that the second
conference announced had been held there on the
16th by the Ministers of War of Wurtemberg,
Hesse, and Baden, which states form the Bth corps
of the federal army.

The Indepenilance of Brussels asserts on authority
that the statement made by an English journal of
Belgium and Holland having concluded a treaty
for the defence of their territories in case of war, is
a pure invention.

ELECTRICAL INFLUENCE 'IN HEALTH AND
DISEASE.
Just Published, price ls., free by Post for Fourteen Stamps,
SIECOND 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 ha constitutions relaxed or debilitated
from various enervating. causes. Illustrated with Cases com-
piled from the Note-hook 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.

ITALY.

A correspondent who has just returned from a
tour through a great part of the Italian peninsula,
sends the following communication The state

of Italy may be thus described :—At Venice the
troops continue to arrive at the rate of three and
four thousand a day. The Government con-
tracted with the Lloyd's Company, at the rate
of a florin a head, to bring over any number of
troops ; and, besides, two large government
steamers arrive every morning crowded with sol-
diers.' Fortifications have been erected on the Lido
commanding the entrances to Venice, and various
other works have been constructed on the small
islands to the north of the city to prevent any sur-
prise by gunboats, as in the event of a war an
attack on Venice is considered by the Austrians as
a certainty. Four large vessels were hired on the
15th to take artillery stores, ammunition, &c., to
Ancona. Contracts were entered into to construct
log houses at Mantua for the troops, and no less
than 500 masts were contracted for to furnish the
arsenal at Venice. The empty palaces at Venice
are taken for barracks ; even the Raggonica, which
belonged to the Infanta of Spain, is now crowded
to its highest window with troops, and the houses
belonging to the Count de Chambord in the Place
San Vidal are being altered to accommodate sol-
diers. From Venice to Milan the whole country is
covered with troops, and the greatest activity is
visible in Verona, Mantua, and Peschiera. At

Milan, the troops are billeted on the Italians, and
the number of the Austrian soldiery now in Italy
cannot be computed at less than 220,000 men. The
Emperor, with Baron Hess, was expected at Venice
on the 17th inst. His Majesty's yacht left Venice
on Saturday last for Trieste, to convey his Majesty.
At Turin continual deserters from the Lombardo-
Venetian States arrive, and on Sunday last up-
wards of 200 young Florentine volunteers made
their way to Turin. The preparations for war on
both sides, and the certainty of a revolution, should
no war occur, place all the efforts of the Congress
in a very peculiar point of view ; for with the
vicinity of the various troops to each other, the
hatred which is mutual on each side, and the en-
thusiasm in Turin, there can be little hope cf avoid-
ing a collision which would instantly light up into
a war."

PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris
is about at par, and the shortexchangeon London is 26.071
per £1 sterling. On comparing those rates with the Eng-
lish Mint price of £3 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold,
it appears that gold is nearly 4-10ths per cent. dearer in
Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the
prim of gold is 4211 per mark, and the short exchange ext
London is 13.3 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the
English Mint price is therefore about 1-10th per Wit•
with the
dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of ex-
change at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight
is about 1091 per cent., which, when compared
Mint par between the two countries, shows that the ex-
change is slighly in favour of Englield; end, after making
allowance for charges of transport and difference of inte.
rest, the present rate leaves a trifling profit on the llpjWr•
tation of gold from the -United States.

BURGLARY.

William Pilgrim pleaded guilty to an indictment charg-
ing him with burglary.
The learned judge said it was fortunate the prisoner was
not known, or he would have received a much severer
punishment.
He was then sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment.
Edward Cavanagh was also indicted for a burglary in a
dwelling house.
The prisoner pleaded guilty.
Previous to passing sentence, the learned Commissioner
asked if the prisoner was known ?

Police-constable 171 D said he had been in prison some
time ago for four months. Ho had also been in two refor-
matories for some months.

The Judge, addressing the prisoner, said it was clear he
well knew the danger he was incurring in again returning
to crime. The sentence of the Court might appear severe,
yet it was, in fact, a merciful one, as it would remove him
from a gang that would eventually be brought to justice. It
was, that he kept in penal servitude for six years. g

THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Nearly the whole of Monday's supply of English wheat
was on offer in to-day's market. The attendance of buyers
was rather limited, and sales progressed slowly, at 3s to 4s
per quarter beneath last Friday's currency.
We were rather heavily supplied with foreign wheat.
Even the finest samples were quite neglected, and prices,
generally, were nominal. '
In floating cargoes of grain very little was passing.
There was a moderate business doing in barley, at late
rates. Malt was very dull, but not cheaper.
Oats moved off slowly, at Monday's decline in value.
Beans, peas, and flour were very dull, at barely stationary
prices.

BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS.
Price ls. lad. and 2s. 9d. per box.
This preparation is one of the benefits which the science of
modern chemistry has conferred upon mankind ; for, during
the first twenty years of the present century to speak of a
cure for the Gout was considered a romance ; but now the
efficacy and safety of this medicine is so fully demonstrated,
by unsolicited testimonials from persons in every rank of life,
that public opinion proclaims this as one of the most im-
portant discoveries of the present age.
These Pills require no restraint of diet or confinement
during their use, and are certain to prevent
_the disease
attacking any vital part.
Sold by all medicine vendors. Observe " Thomas Prout,
229, Strand, London," on the Government stamp.

COUNTRY M.ABIBTS.

LIVERPOOL-JUNE 14.

This morning we had a very fair attendance of buyers
at our corn exchange. The business passing was limited
for both wheat and flour, but where transactions occurred
prices were almost nominal. The decline since this day
week may be quoted at from 4d to 6d per cental on wheat
and 6d on flour and Indian corn. Oats, oatmeal, andbaiiel
have each given way about 3d per cental. Egyptian beams
are held at fully former prices.

LEEDS—JuNn 14.
The show of wheat was very liberal, but the demand
not active, at about the currencies of the preceding week.
There was not much barley on offer, and little business
passing, at about nominal rates. Oats in limited supply,
at late prices, but a slow sale. Beans were scarce, and a
dull trade, without material change in Price.

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 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 Spermatorrheea 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."—

PRIMITIVE METFIODISM. A statistical review
was recently given in the Times of the present position of
the Society of Wesleyan Methodists. Similar returns have
just been submitted to the conference of the offshoot of the
society, styled the "Primitive Methodist Gmnexion," and
it appears that this body now comprises 123,863 members,
being an increase of 7,647 as compared with 1858. The
connexion has no fewer than 10,838 "local pireachers," or
one preacher to every 12 hearers. The chapels number
3,176, and seven have been built during the past year. In
connexion with this vigorous branch of Methodism there
are 1,910 Sunday schools, with 159,251 scholars and 29,183

-------
was held yesterday at the central station, Lothbury
—the Hon. It. Grimston in the chair.
After the transaction of the usual formal busi-
ness the secretary, Mr. Gamble, read the report,
which stated that the sum of £30,000 has been
received on capital account to 31st March last, and
£25,495 expended. The sum of £3,820 has been
invested in the purchase of £4,000 Three per Cent.
Consolidated Annuities, and of the balance the sum
of £5OO has been placed in the hands of the COlll-
- mercial Bank of Jersey. By the terms of the Go-
vernment contract (which bears date the 10th of
March last) the Lords of the Treasury undertake
to pay from the date of the completion of the line,
and so long as it shall continue in working order,
the sum of £l,BOO annually, or so much of it as
shall be necessary to make up with the other re-
ceipts of the company, fairly ascertain ed ,
d inividencludid of
ng
the charge for Government messages, a
6 per cent. on the capital employed, not exceeding
£30,000 ; but in no case shall their annual pay-
ment be less than the sum to which the work per-
formed for them by the company would amount if
calculated at the usual tariff rates. The contract
is for 25 years. The line is worked by the Electric
and International Telegraph Company, at its actual
cost to the latter, and by the agreement that com-
pany allows a reduction of one-third of their
charges on all messages passing over their lines to
tor from the Channel Islands' line.
The CHAIRMAN said it was not possible to over-
rate the value of the line. It was of great impor-
tance that the Channel Islands should be connected
by a link with France which would open commu-
nication with 26 important towns on the coast of
that country. The price of a message from this
country to the Channel Islands was ss. It was
three times that sum for a message to any of the
towns on the coast of France. He then related an
instance of a gentleman sending a message from
one of the Channel Islands' stations to St. Malo, in
France, having to go a roundabout way of 700
miles, when the real distance was only 30. The
message would have been delivered sooner had it
been sent by a rowing boat, as it had to suffer
many hours of delay, chiefly at Paris. If the
line to the French coast should be decided upon,
it would open a new field for their opera-
tions. It was a matter that concerned the French
people more than the people in the Channel
Islands. Petitions would be got up in the 25 coast
towns mentioned, and be presented to the French
Government asking their sanction to the link be-
tween France and the Channel Islands. This was
a point upon which the prosperity of the company
depended. As there were not a sufficient number of
shareholders present to constitute a legal meeting,
the report was not submitted for adoption, but a
dividend of ss. 6d. per share, being at the rate of 6
per cent. per annum.,free of income tax, was de-
clared for, the 204 days from the completion of the
line to the 31st of March last. The meeting then
adjourned.
