PETERSFIELD.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was
held yesterday at the offices, Parliament•street—
Mr. W. E. Knobel in the chair.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said it appeared the engineer entertained
no doubt of the completion of the works within the
specified time, and for the amount estimated. In
answer to questions he stated that the board were
in communication with the South-Western Railway
Company respecting the Extension to Southampton,
and they had every hope of the bill being obtained
next session. It was deemed advisable to join the
Brighton line, and no negotiation had been opened
on the subject.
The report was then inanimously adopted, and
the proceedings terminated.

GREAT NORTHIRN OF IRELAND.
The half-yearly meetii,-; of this company was held
yesterday at the office, Parliament-street—the Earl
of Lucan in the chair.

The report stated than after paying the working
expenses of the line ant interest chargeable to re-
venue there was a balaace of traffic receipts for the
half-year amounting lo £2,735; this, added to
£2,162, the balance at the 31st of December last,
made a total sum of 14,897. The directors pro-
posed a dividend of £2per cent., less income-tax,
upon £200,000 called up on the original shares, and
£44,555 called up on the Castlebar Extension shires,
leaving a balance of £t. Considering the compe-
tition of the Tuam linethey thought the traffic re-
ceipts were satisfactor). A bill had received the
sanction of Parliamentfor extending the line from
Castlebar to Westport. It was intended that it
should be continuouslyconstructed, and it was con-
fidently expected that lie railway would reach that
western port without iiterruption. An agreement
had been concluded with the Public Works Loan
Commissioners for then to advance the whole'of
the debenture capital authorized by the original
Act. It was therefore hoped that the finances of
the company were now placed on a permanent and
solid foundation. Thereport of the engineer stated
that the permanent way and works from Athlone
to Castlereagh eontinuel to be maintained by the
Midland Great Westert Company under the work-
ing agreement. The nExt section of the railway,
from Castlereagh to Eallyhaunis, a distance of
about 12 miles, was 'Tactically completed, and
might be opened on the 15th inst. for public traffic.
The works were in active progress on the next sec-
tion from Ballyhaunis to Claremorris, a distance of
11 miles, and would be ready for public traffic by
the end of the present yEar. The capital account
showed that £322,698 had been received and ex-
pended, including £3,996 from revenue account.
The revenue account showed that £6,031 had been
received, and £2,844 paid for working expenses at
the rate of ls. fild per tr einmile, £lO6 for the gene-
ral charges, and £346 for interest,leaving a balance
of £2,735.
On the motion of the CHAIRMAN the report was
adopted, the dividend declared, and the directors
were authorized to exercise the borrowing powers
of the company to the extent of £33,000.
The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks
to the chairman.

fIUNGARY.

Advices from Pesth state that M. Deak, who
was charged to draw up the reply to the Em-
peror Francis Joseph, has finished his task.
It appesrs, however, that before the debate on
this document, the Chamber will discuss this
question of nationalities. The difficulties of
the Austrian Government consequently seem to
increase. The empire, instead of advancing towards
unity, is becoming more and more divided, accord-
ing as the representatives are called upon to express
their sentiments on the different points of M. de
Schmerling's programme.

CURIOUS ZGOLOGICAL DISCOVERY.

s i
es te
When, some time ago, the telegraphic communi-
scuadtidoenhblyetiwnteeernruCpatgeldia, raiftaenrdeußhon a, in Algeria, was
of two years, measures were ionrgtedfortothfeorsptahcee
r
purpose of getting the cable up again, an operation
the cable recovered partially. The portion of
valley of the depth
from 6,000 to 8,000 feet, an
excellent opportunity
was thus offered for the study
of the zoological _ species to be found at that depth.
M. Alphonse Edwards, a French naturalist, who
was on the spot at the time, has now published the
results of his observations on that occasion. Among
the extraneous bodies which adhered to the cable,
he mentions several mollusks still living at the
time they were brought up. One of them was the
Ostrea cochlear, a kind of oyster which is fiequent
enough in the Mediterranean at a depth of from 300
to 400 feet, but which had never been found at any
depth approaching to that of the valley above-
mentioned. It must have fixed itself to the cable
when very young; for its lower valve, about 6 cen-
timetres in breadth, had completely assumed the
shape of the cable's surface like a plaster-cast. There
was also a Pecten opercularis, a sea-shell, one of
the valves of which fits like a lid on the other, at-
tached to the cable, and a much rarer one also, the
pecten testae. To these were added two gastero od
p ea
the ,nonodanta limbata, and the fusus larhellOSUS
both extremely rare, and containing the animal
alive within. Of corals there were fourteen
speci-
mens belonging to three different species
family of turbinolides, two of which of the
one fossil, that is, hitherto only found
new, and
geological strata, mixed with other nd in ancient
fragments. It has thus been palseontologiea 1

sur-
face of the sea, there ex. ) 00 feet below the

ANOTHER CHILD MURDER.—.An inquest was
held yesterday by Mr. John Humphreys, at the Rose and.
Crown Tavern, Bromley, on the body .of a female child un-
known, found under the following circumstances :—On Sa-
turday last, about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, as a man
named Samuel Prince was at work at the rear of a house
situate in Archibald-street, Broeiey, he saw a fish-basket
lying in the garden, as if it had ',peen thrown over the side
wall. The man had seen two fern ales loitering about shortly
before, one of whom was carry ing a brown paper parcel.
The basket was opened, when it e found the body of a fine
child, wrapped in a coarse tows 4. Mr. Garman, surgeon,
said that the deceased had been borne alive. The body was
well formed and fully developed . The umbilical cord had
been severed, and death was CO a result of suffocation by
pressure on the mouth and nest rils. The jury returned

THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The show of Euglish wheat on offer here to-day, was
only moderate. For good and fine samples, the demand
ruled steady at full prices ; otherwise, the trade was in a
sluggish state at barely previous currencies. New Talavera
wheat was sold at from 70s to 72s per quarter,
With Foreign wheat we were well supplied, but there
being a demand for shipment to France, importers were
firm, and prices were supported.
Floating cargoes of grain changed hands to a moderate
extent, at late rates.

Barley met a dull sale, at barely stationary prices. New
malting qualities are quoted at from 33s to 463 per quarter.
Malt moved off slowly on former terms.
Good and fine oats sold steadily at full prices, but inferior
parcels were a dull sale at Gd per qr. less money.
Both beans and peas ruled dull at drooping currencies.
New grey peas are worth 38s to 40s per qr.
Fine marks of flour were steady in prices, but medium
qualities were rather difficult of disposal.

DUTIES ON SPIRITS

Mr. CRAWFORD asked whether it was the intention of
the Government to introduce any measure during the pre-
sent session for the modification of the duties on spirits. He
understood that there had been a great diminution in the
consupption of spirits, and in the revenue arising there-
from; also a great increase in illicit distillation, and that
the spirit trade was in a state of complete paralysis.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
would give an answer to the question, which he hoped would
be sufficient, though he held that it was entirely contrary
tbi public interests, as well as to the general rule, for
t f*lnee minister in general to answer questions with
respect to theintentious of the Government on any finan-
cial subject before the period arrived for making the re-
gular statement for the year. He knew of no exception
to that rule when the question was put relative to an old
established duty. But the question put referred to a duty

which had rosily been in operation five or six months ; and
his hon. friend was quite justified in putting it. With re,;
gard to the state of the revenue from spirits, a sufficient
period had not elapsed to enable him to giVe any answer
that would I.)e Of k'allie to the house. The smallest time
that could be taken as a test of the operation of a new
duty was the close of the financial year. As regarded
the most important of the qUestions pitt bY has ha.. friend,
that relating to illicit distillation, he could give an
answer which would give entire satisfaction, for undoubt
edly that was the one point on which the members of the
house were most sensitive and anxious when his proposal
was made. Ito held iii his hand a return, which he would
lay on the table, of the number of detections, convictions,
and commitments in 1859 and 1860 respectively. There
was not one of the comparative figures which did not ex-
hibit a diminution, whether in detections, in convictions, or
in commitments, and that in every one of the three coun-
tries, England, Scotland, and Ireland. In Ireland in parti-
cular, which of course must be regarded as the most critical
and dangerous part of the case, the detections in 1859 were
1829, and in 1860, 918. He therefore did not hesitate to
say, even at this early period, that the evidence on the
subject of illicit distillation was completely satisfactory and
conclusive. (Hear, hear.) Nor did he hesitate to go a step
further under thepeculiar circumstances, and say, in answer
to his hon. friend, that there Was not the slightest intention
on the part of the GoVernment, to propose any reduction of
the duty which was laid upon spirits in the last session.

merit were totally unable to control General Gari-
baldi, in Mr. Elliot's account of his interview 'with.
aim on board the Hannibal, and in the subsequent
notices of his conduct up to his retirement to
Caprera, we trace the same enthusiastic, generous,
loyal, uncompromising, and unstatesmanlike tem-
perament, the same pliability of judgment and the
same visionary projects. It appears that when at
Messina he had proposed to the King of Naples to
accept the Viceroyship of his own kingdom under
Victor Emmanuel. On his arrival at Naples "he
intended," he said, " to push on at once to Rome,
and when that city should be in his hands to offer
the Crown of an United Italy to King Victor Em-
manuel, and upon whom would then devolve the
task of the liberation of Venetia, and in 'which he
would himself be but the lieutenant of his Majesty."
He avowed his intention of raising the 'Hungarians
against Austria, assuring Mr. Elliot, that Great
Britain would find in the friendship of,' Italy a noble
compensation for the loss of an ancient ally, while
he " did not make less light of France than he had
been doing of Austria." There is something
amusing in this abrupt communicat ion, flung, as it
were, into the midst of a decorous correspondence
between Ministers and Ambassai fora. But tl ie

THE DISTURBANCES IN THE EAST.

Sir JAMES FERGUSSON asked the Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs whether her Majesty's Govern-
ment had received any information respecting the tribunal
before which the Druse chiefs had been tried who volun-
tarily surrendered themselves to the Turkish authorities ;
whether the evidence before that tribunal was in the pos-
session of her Majesty's Government; whether it was true
that these men had been condemned to death ; and, if
they had, whether the Government intended to make any
representations to the Porte upon the subject? He con-
tended that the chiefs who had surrendered themselves had
been prejudged, and, if the reports which appeared in the
newspapers were correct, the proceedings before the' tribunal
were a farce and a perversion of justice. If such were the
ease, then he contended that it was just and politic for this
country to prevent the execution of these men. These
Drums were men of heroic principle, and animated by the
same feelings that prevailed formerly amongst the High-
land tribes of Scotland. He believed these men were as
free from guilt in regard to the massacre that had taken
place, and, if we did not interfere in their behalf, we were
guilty of innocent blood being shed.
Lord J. RUSSELL said the tribunal in question was an
extraordinary one, but still it was properly constituted.
However, from circumstances that had come to the know-
ledge of her Majesty's Government, they were of opinion
that the Druses had not had a fair trial. With respect to
their innocence the Government had no means of judging of
that, until they had seen the evidence on which they "were
convicted. Her Majesty's Government had made arrange-
ments with the Ottoman Porte that in the event
of the conviction of these men none of them
were to be executed until the evidence at their trial had
been submitted to the European Powers and received their
approbation. He asked the Turkish ambassador how it
happened that all the Turks who were convicted in respect
to the events in Syria were sentenced only to exile, while
the Oilers were executed, a fact which had excited the at-
tent ittia of Lord Dufferin. The only explanation he had
received was that, according to the law of Turkey, it was
not legal to condemn inhabitants of that State to death
under the circumstances. The noble lord entered into
some further explanations, and concluded by stating that
the European Powers would take care that justice would be
done in regard to these Druse chiefs.

Sir C. WOOD said that he hat succeeded in obtaining
the £3,000,000 loan for the purposes of India. £13,000,000

SICILY.

The following is taken from a n ruin letter of the
sth :—" The ministerial crisis in Sicily is terminated.
M. Amari, who was the diplomatic agent of the
island in this city in the time of Garibaldi, is chief
of the new Goverment, and his colleagues are to
be M. Marchese, M. Orlando, General Carini, arid
the Prior of St. Elia. Members of the Opposition
party here say that the ministry is in favour of the
separation of Sicily from the rest of Italy; but M.
Amari, who is still in Turin, appears to have a per-
fect understanding with Count Cavour. It is
thought possible, however, that special institutions
will be accorded to Sicily on account of her insular
position."

111 E GARIBALDI SUBSCRIPTIONS.

Mr •H. H Ashurst has received the following
letter from Garibaldi :

Caprera, Jan. 26, 1861.

Mr. Ashurst,—Our friendVecchi informs me that
he has heard from Mr. Crauford that you desire to
have my signature to the authorisation given you by
him, as my aide-de-camp, to call in as collector-gene-
ral any and all the sums subscribed in behalf of
Italy by your generous countrymen, of whatever city.
I therefore authorise you to do this, in order that
whatever money may be subscribed in future for
this purpose may be added to that you have already
collected. And I desire that this expression of my
wish should serve as a rule and guide to the various
committees either now existing or likely to be in-
stituted. And here I ought to state that I have
never drawn any draft upon those bankers who
have received sums of money in my name. The
sums I have received from the patriots of your
country have been individual payments or offerings
exclusively. I will, however, inquire of Dr. Bertani
whether those gentlemen and the Leeds and Man-
ehester committees have sent sums to him direct.

Colonel Peard has my esteem, both as a gentle-
man a►nd as a soldier. His officers did their duty.
There might have been better discipline main-
tained among the men. I know it. They came
late. But they made ample amends for this defect,
not their own, by the brilliant, courage they
displayed in the slight engagements they shared
with U 6 near the Volturno, which enabled me to
judge how precious an assistance they would have
rendered us had the war of liberation remained
longer in my hands. In every way the English
volunteers were a proof of the goodwill borne by
your noble nation towards the liberty and indepen-
dence of Italy. And I believe your generous coun-
try—which I so much love and respect—will never
refuse us her contingent, whether of arms, men, or
money, in testimony of those qualities by which she
is distinguished, and which have made her the first
nation of the civilised world.

Accept, honoured Mr. Ashurst, the earnest assu-
rance of my grateful friendship, and always com-
mand your G. GARIBALDI.

The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex

ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive,
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully

ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRMEA;
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 llypochrondriasis.

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.

" Dr. rickford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he informs us, that be has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the
last, if lie shall detect any other squally 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 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 dilated so lone 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. Picktord ;
but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is gold, places
it within tlin reach of every one interested in the matter."—

DUTIES ON SPIRITS

Mr. CRAWFORD asked whether it was the intention of
the Government to introduce any measure during the pre-
sent session for the modification of the duties on spirits. He
understood that there had been a great diminution in the
consumption of spirits, and in the revenue arising there-
from ; also a great increase in illicit distillation, and that
the spirit trade was in a state of complete paralysis.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
would give an answer to the question, which he hoped would
be sufficient, though he held that it was entirely contrary
to the public interests, as well as to the general rule, for
the finance minister in general to answer questions with
respect to the intentions of the Government on any finan-
Cia_l BlSldect before the period arrived for making the re-
gular etatement for the year. He knew of no exception
to thattruie when the. question was put relative to an old
established duty,
But the question put referred to e. duty

which had only been in operation five or six months; and
his hon. friend was quite justified in putting it. With re-
gard to the state of the revenue from spirits, a sufficient
period had not elapsed to enable him to give any answer
that would be of value to the house. The smallest time
that could be taken as a test of the operation of a new
duty was the close of the financial year. As regarded
the most important of the questions put by his hon. friend,
that relating to illicit distillation, he could give an
answer which would give entire satisfaction, for undoubt •
edly that was the one point on which the members of the
house were most sensitive and anxious when his proposal
was made. He held in his hand a return, which he would
lay on the table, of the number of detections, convictions,
and commitments in 1359 and 1860 respectively. There
was not one of the comparative figures which did not ex-
hibit a diminution, whether in detections, in convictions, or
in commitments, and that in every one of the three coun-
tries, England, Scotland, and freland. In Ireland in parti.•
cular, which of course must be regarded as the most critical
and dangerous part of the case, the detections in 1859 were
1329, and in 1860, 918. He therefore did not hesitate to
say, even at this early period, that the evidence oa the
subject of illicit distillation was completely satisfactory and
conclusive. (Hear, hear.) Nor did he hesitate to go a step
further under thepeculiar circumstances, and say, in answer
to his hon. friend, that there was not the slightest intention
on the part of the Government, to propose any reduction of
the duty which was laid upon spirits in the last session.

A COTTON MILL BURNT DOWN IN PRESTON

About nine o'clock on Thursday night an alarm was given at
the fire brigade station that Mr. Hawkins's mill, in Adelphi-
street, in that town, was on fire. The hose reel imme-
diately proceeded to the spot, followed by two engines.
On their arrival the hose belonging to the factory had been
already got into play, and some hopes were entertained of
saving the building, but at half-past nine the flames had
extended to the third storey, and it soon became evident
that it was impossible to save the spinning mill from total
destruction. At 20 minutes to 10 a portion of the roof and
the floors fell in, followed in about five minutes by the re-
ma'nder of the roof and a portion of the walls. At five
minutes to 10 the north wall fell outwards, and the east
wall inwards. The exertions of the firemen were chiefly
devoted to the saving of the adjoining weaving shed, the
whole of the spinning mill being completely destroyed, a
very small portion of the walls only remaining. The
damage is estimated at from £205000 to £30,000, which is
partially covered by insurance. Tho origin of the fire is
not known.
PROGRESS IN WEALTIL—An income-tax return
has been issued which shows what progress this kingdom
has been making within the last few years. The total
amount of income and annual value of property assessed to
the income-tax in the United Kingdom has risen from
£308,317,656 in 1854 to £335,730,254 in 1860. The increase
of taxable income in England in the six years has been
£26,348,685, and in Ireland, £1,701,993, but in Scotland
there has actually been a decrease of £638,080. This de-
crease has arisen solely from a very largo falling off in the
returns under Schedule D—the profits of trades and pro-
fessions, Sm. The income taxed under that schedule in Eng-
land rose from £76,215,936 in 1851, to £81,921,267 in 1860,
and in Ireland from £4,621,069 to £4,891,652, but in Scotland.
it fell from £12,185,924 in 1851, to £8,626,141 in 1860 ; in
1858, after the commercial crisis at the end of 1857, it fell
02,500,000--below the previous year, and has never re •
covered. The income assessed under Schedule A, the an-
nual value of lands, houses, Sic., has risen greatly in all
three kingdoms ; in England it was £99,274,309 in 1854 and
£112,082,749 in 1860; in Scotland £11,947,791 in the for-
mer year, and £13,974 080 in the latter ; in Ireland
£11,767,810 and £12,893,829 respectively; an increase of
almost £16,000,000 in the whole, nearly half of which is
from houses, and another quarter from an increase in the
profit of railways. A very large increase has taken place
also in Schedule B (public offices, pensions and stipends),
from £14,445,552 in 1854 to £10,636,220 in 1860. The total
income assessed to the income tax in 1860 was, in England,
£282,718,049; in Scotland, £29,913,124 • in Ireland
