POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ROBBERY BY A " GENTLEMAN" AT THE PRIVESS'S
THEATRE.—AIfred Wiggins, described on the eharge-sheet
as a " gentloman," of 21, Walcot-square, Kennington, and
who was attired in a fashionable cloak or coat, was charged
with stealing from the person of Mr. James Marks, of 5,
Edward-terrace, Caledonian-road, cheesemonger, at the
hall of the Princess's Theatre, a silver watch, of the value
of £5.

The prosecutor said that on the previous night about
twelve he was in the hall of the Princess's Theatre, Oxford-
street, about leaving, when his attention was attracted to
the prisoner, by noticing him eyeing his gold Albert
chain in a very peculiar manner. The prisoner then walked
up to him, looked him hard in the face, then thrust his
fingers into his waistcoat pocket, and took his watch off at
the swivel, leaving the guard hanging down his waistcoat;
but the whole transaction was done with such rapidity
that he was unable to prevent him carrying out his object.
As soon as he had got his watch his hand went under his
cloak, and he then charged him with stealing his watch;
a little altercation took place, and he heard the watch fall,
and his (witness's) brother picked it up.
In answer to the magistrate (Mr. Bingham), the prose-
secutor said that he had not the slightest doubt about it, and
that on his taxing him with the robbery he cluttered some-
thing which he could not understand, and then offered him
his " card."

The prisoner, in answer to the magistrate, said he would
rather have it settled at once, and would plead guilty.
A constable having stated that he had been seen about
the theatre before, he was committed for six months with
hard labour.

A LADY'S ESCAPE from GWALIOR, and
LIFE in the Fort of AGRA during the MUTINIES
of 1857. By Mrs. COOPLAND.

" This book is valuable as a contribution to the history of
the great Indian rebellion. The description of the retreat at
Gwalior was a desideratum, and must ever be read with in-
terest."—Athenwum.

" The merit of this book is its truth. The chronicles of
those who were eye-witnesses of this great struggle have now
formed a little library, to which the narrative of Mrs. Coop-
laud is most fitly added. It contains some passages that
never will be read by Englishmen without emotion."—

THE SUN.

FRIDAY. MARCH 25, 1859.

The position the BALLOT shall occupy either in
an appeal to the country, or in considering the Go-
vernment Bill in committee, is now a very serious
question. With three notices of motion before the
House—one in case of Lord J. RUSSELL'S amend-
ment being carried—another in case of its not being
carried—and a third to amend the miserable amend-
ment of the noble lord by attaching the Ballot to it
—it is important that the public, and the hon.
members who represent it, should definitively make
up their minds. We have carefully—we are con-
fident that we may say, impartially—reconsidered
the practical `question— When ought the House
of Commons to be compelled to say yea or nay on
the Ballot ? We have listened to representations
of thoroughly earnest friends of the Ballot who
differ from us, but we are, after all, compelled to re-
affirm our old opinion, that the sense of the House
ought to be taken in immediate connection with
Lord J. kUSSELL'S resolutions ; and that course we
must, if we speak our own convictions, earnestly
press upon all friends of the Ballot who would place
the question in its rightposition before the country.
We know that it is much wished by many, who
would not like to stand wrongly on the Ballot with
their constituencies, not to embarrass the noble
house of Bedford. We respect the Bedford family,
but we respect the Ballot and the people's right to
it much more. The plairi Vestica now is, shall the
Bedford interest ride forth to the country now, in
the very likely event of an election, on the meagre
pledge-to•nothing amendments of Lord J. RUSSELL?
or, shall an issue go before the Supreme Court of
the people worth their trying ? We main-
tain, without fear of contradiction, that the
two questions—Shall any forty-shilling freeholders
lose their county votes, and shall • the . fran-
chise be lowered in boroughs ? are not questions,
taken by themselves, worth being tried by the
country. There is one which far outweighs both
of them, and which is not raised by them—SHALL
THE PEOPLE'S VOTES BE THEIR OWN P THAT, we
affirm, is the question which, with unexampled
unanimity, all the people's meetings have answered
in the affirmative. Hardly one has been held in
which, on the franchise, on the duration of Parlia-
ment, on the redistribution of members, or some
other point, there has not been some diversity of
opinion ; on the ballot there has been none. Middle
classes and working classes, Scotchmen, English-
men, Irishmen—whenever and wherever citizens
have met to pronounce an Opinion on the Govern-
ment Bill—ail have pronounced that they will have
the Ballot.

Is it, then, to be tolerated, that a professed leader
should move votes of censure on two admitted
defects of the Government bill—though even this
is done in the. vaguest. terms--and that he should
yet omit from his programme of censures—which
is virtually the programme of his.own next .year's

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.

THE MURDER NEAR BOSTON.

The following confession has been made by Pickett,
one of the men charged with the murder of William
Stevenson :
" Myself and Carey left the public-house on the evening
in question, between ten and eleven o'clock, and went
towards the house of my father, who had gone to bed. We
then crossed the drain in a boat of my father's, at the request
of Carey, to go to Sands's for two rabbits he had shot. As
we went Carey drew a large stake up, and told me to do the
same, as he said we might be attacked by dogs, but I would
not. When we had got a little distance, we overtook Mr.
Stevenson. Carey said Let's kill the old b-- •
he's got some money.' I advised him not, but 'he went
up to him and hit him on the right side of the head, wen
think
knocked him down, and sat on his head, and put his ham.
in his pocket and took the money out, and then got up and
hit him three or four times with the stick. He then said
Take hold of his head,' but I would not, and he said, ' If
you don't I'll serve you the same.' I then helped him to
throw the deceased into the sewer ; he picked up his stick •,
the old man stood up in the dyke, and he went and struck
him two or three times more ; the old man climbed up the
bank on the other side, and I went round to help him up ;
but Carey came round the other way, and with a stick
knocked him down again, and struck him seven or eight
times, breaking the stick which he used to atoms. The
old man tried to get up, but Carey struck him with a
hedge-stake until he was dead, and then trailed him to the
hedge next th esewer dyke, and said to me 'take hold of his
-legs and we'll throw him into the sewer.' I said what for,
let him be.' He then reared him up on his head on the
hedge layers and tumbled him into the sewer; ho went on
towards Mr. Stevenson's house, and I went to Joseph Coates'
house ; when I got on the bank Carey overtook me, and
said the old man is dead, he does not stir in the water at
all.' I've got £1 2s. 6d., and a handful of papers and two
bags. We went to my ather's seven-acre gate, and he hid
them there under some grass, on the bank side against the
tunnel. We then went on to my father's boat, and crossed
the river in it. I said I would go home, and as Carey
waited to go with me, I wouldn't take him, and so we went
to Sands's house across the fields, as he was afraid the
policeman would see us if we went round by the road. I
slept in Sands's outhouse, and Carey in the beast-hovel. I
awoke early in the morning, and went to him about half-
past five. Mr. Sands came into the hovel and tumbled over
my foot. We then went to Richardson's (the Ship public-
house), and there Carey pulled out two bags he had taken
from Stevenson, and the stolen money, and put it in the
bags, and also a stone, and threw them all into Richard-
son's pit. I afterwards left him and went home."

soothe the system, repress inflammation, check ulceration,
and allay the irritative fever always accompanying this
complaint. The ointment is applied externally to the
throat, chest, and back, where it exercises a wonderfully
preservative influence over nerves, lymphatics, and glands,
while the pills exeft an equally beneficial power internally
over the throat and air passages.

SLAVE TRADE ON THE WEST COAST OF
AFRICA..

Mr. KINGLAKE asked the Under Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs, whether any negotiation was pending
between her Majesty's Government and the Government of
France with respect to a French vessel, called the Phoenix,
of Nantz, alleged to have been prevented from taking slaves
from the west coast of Africa by her Majesty's steam sloop
Alecto; and asked whether there would be any objection to
lay the papers relating to this matter upon the table of the
house.

Mr. S. FITZGERALD said he had directed inquiries to
bo made, and until he had received an answer he could not
give information on the subject.
THE GOVERNMENT REFORM BILL.

Mr. MITCHELL asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
whether the Government were to be understood to persist
in maintaining the uniformity of the town and county fran-
chise as the principle of their bill for the reform of the re-
presentation of the people.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER.—Sir, it is
impossible for me to give a categorical answer to a question
of this kind addressed to me at this moment. It would
demand a statement, both of argument and of detail, which
could not be compressed within thelegitimate scope of a
reply to a question put to a Minister on this occasion.
(Cheers.) But, sir, this I will say to the hon. gentleman,
that when I introduced the bill for the amendment of the
representation of the people it was the opinion of my col-
leagues that there was no provision in that measure which
might not in commiitee be beneficially submitted to that
calm and impartial consideration—(cheers and laughter).—
which the house had pledged itself to her Majesty to give
to this question—(renewed cheers)—and without which
pledge on the part of this assembly, considering the circum-

THIS DAYS. MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.
Coastwise, during the present week; a fair average sup-
ply of. English wheat-3,470 quarters—has been reported.
Fresh-up, to <lay, by land-carriage the receipts were small,
and the show of samples was rather limited. Good and
tine qualities were in fair request at Monday's currency ;
but other kinds moved off slowly, at late rates.
The show of foreign wheat was seasonably large. All
descriptions were rather inactive, but no change took place
in value.
Fine barley realised very full prices, but grinding and dis-
tilling sorts were heavy, and the turn cheaper. There was
a slow sale for malt at barely late rates.
Oats sold on former terms. Both beans and peas com-
manded extreme rates, but the transactions in flour were
very moderate.

To-day's market was scantily supplied with foreign stock,
the general quality of which was tolerably good.
Fresh up this morning from our own grazing districts the
receipts of beasts were seasonably extensive as to number,
and in fair average condition. The attendance of buyers
was limited, and all breeds of beasts met a heavy inquiry at
Thursday's reduction in the quotations of 4d per 81bs., the
top price for Scots being 4s 10d per 81bs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received 1,850 Scots and short horns; from other parts of
England 1,000 various breeds ; from Scotland 400 Scots ;
and from Ireland 150 oxen, &c.

We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied
with sheep, the quality of which was good. The mutton
trade was in a most inactive state, and, in some instances,
prices were 2d per 81bs lower than on this day se'nnight.
The' extreme value of the primest Downs was 5s per 81bs.
The supply of calves was very limited, and the veal trade
ruled steady at very full prices, 5s 2d per Blbs having been
realised for superior calves.
There was a moderate inqu
rency. The supply was limit

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 Spermatorrhcea and the
various forms•of disease which resemble it are accurately o:le-
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."—

TERRI'S BREECH-LOADING RIFLE.

A powerful and most effective weapon, known as
Terry's patent breech-loading rifle, is, by order of
the Secretary of State for War, to be supplied im-
mediately to several cavalry regiments. The pecu-
liar advantage of this weapon is to make one man
equal to ten ; the carbine may be loaded with
facility at the time of a horse being at full
gallop, because neither biting the cartridge
nor a ramrod is required, and there is no
risk of blowing off the hand while loading. The
Small Arms Committee have submitted the carbine
to the severest tests, making a most favourable
report on its peculiar advantages, and hence its
adoption in the army. Only some few months ago
Terry's rifle was subjected to a test by Cpptain
Richard Hewlett, of the Excellent gunnery ship, an d
1,800 rounds were fired without the carbine requir-
ing to be cleaned, or missing fire; the same carbine
was tested on Southsea-common by order of the
Lieutenant-Governor, Major-General the Hon. Sir
James Yorke Scarlett, and 25 rounds were fired
at 300 yards' range from the butt ; and the
General himself made a centre hit. An officer
on the ground, one of the instructors of musketry,
then took the instrument and struck the target
afloat twice out of three times, at a distance of
1,050 yards ; yet the barrel is but 30 inches in
length.

An erroneous impression exists that public annoumcements
on these disorders emanate only from unqualified persons,
but as the new Medical Act provides that none but registered
practitioners shall assume any medical title, those that are
legally qualified can readily be distinguished—a point of great
importance in cases where secrecy, confidence, and skill are
equally requisite.
In the new edition of ' Sell-Preservation,' facts of para-
mount utility are brought together—facts appealing to the
prudence of all who are suffering from affections which in-
volve the enfeeblement and ultimate loss of those powers
without which man forfeits the dignity of nature, and sinks to
the most pitiable depths of physical and moral degradation.
In cases where the vital essences' have been weakened by the
influences of tropical climates, by pernicious habits, indiscri-
minate excesses, improper diet, hardship, or by injudicious
treatment, the means of cure adopted by the author, in con-
junction with the application of Local Galvanism, have gene-
rally been found successful, even in cases where recovery had
been pronounced impossible.
