The above work contains most useful and interesting
information on the physiological changes which occur
in the Reproductive System during; the periods of youth,
puberty, and manhood ; and on the due attainment of that
degree of functional vigour upon which the hopes of posterity
depend. It also points out how all the attributes of Man-
hood can be
_preserved to an advanced period of life, how they
are lost, and how they can be recovered. It is tree from the
gross exaggerations, alarming descriptions, and dangerous
remedies so generally resorted to by persons, who, prac-
tising- with false medical qualifications, inflict most serious
injuries, and render judicious treatment frequently abortive.
The Author is the only legally qualified practitioner
whose name stands on the Medical Register (the only
true test of medical qualification), who has been exclu-
sively engaged for a series of years in the treatment of the
variou; functional disorders of the nervous and reproductive

beneficial. Persons deprived of sleep, or even lying down for
fear of suffocation, may depend on relief in a few minutes
atter taking it. Prepared only and sold by W. Lambert,

THE ROBBERY OP £2,500 AT FALKIRK.

SOUTHAMPTON, Oct. 25 (Evening).—The two
persons for whose apprehension warrants had been
issued on a charge of robbing a gentleman of £2,525
at Falkirk; have been discovered at Southampton
by detective Peter Brown, of the Glasgow force,
and Verge, a detective of the Southampton police.
On Monday, the 7th inst., an English cattle dealer
attending Falkirk Tryst, which he had visited for
a series of years, was accosted by a woman, who
was accompanied by a young man, and robbed of a
pocket-book containing £2,525 in drafts and bank
notes, viz—£l4o in £2O notes of the Commercial
Bank of Scotland; about £5O in £lO and £5 notes of
other Scotch banks; about £lBsin Bank of England
notes; drafts on the Royal Bank, Falkirk, for
£l,lOO, £4OO, and £250; and a draft for £2OO, also
on a Scotch bank. A description of the parties
being given to the Northern police, they were recog-
nised as Thomas Cox, alias John Jtnes, alias Charles
Lukeman, aged about 29, and Mary Ann Jones,
alias Jane Rose or Cox, about 28 years of age ; and
it was ascertained that they left Glasgow for Eng-
land by the Caledonian Railway on the Wednes-
day night following the robbery. A reward of
£5O was offered for their apprehension, and detec-
tive Brown started on their track. That officer
spent eight days in London, but failed to discover
the fugitives. He returned to Scotland, and as-
certained that £235 had been deposited at two
of the Edinburgh banks. At Falkirk, a
middle-aged man, who gave the assumed name of
Cox, was apprehended. This individual had gone
with the thieves from Falkirk to Edinburgh, where
the woman deposited the money, and he subse-
quently endeavoured to effect its removal with a
view to transmit it to them. A fresh clue was ob-
tained; the thieves were clearly traced from Edin-
burgh to London, and thence to Southampton, to
which place detective Brown pursued them. The
man Cox, who gave the additional alias of James
Jones, was apprehended on Thursday evening; he
had only £7 in his possession. Brown and Verge
then commenced a yet more active search for the
woman Jones, and obtained from the magistrates a
warrant authorising them to search the (house, 8,
Kingsfield-street, and the residence of a woman
named Byles, in Weymouth-terrace, in either one
of Which she was strongly suspected to be concealed.
This afternoon the detectives entered the house in
Kingsfield-street, the back of which is accessible
from the rear of the house in Weymouth-terrace, a
row of houses erected on the esplanade upon the

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES•

SlR,—Permit me to claim a small space in the
Times, at your convenience, to set myself right with
the public in regard to an error of statement con-
cerning the result of competitive trials at Shoe-
buryness in which my gun took part.
It is averred, firstly, that "At the final trial
Lancaster's (oval bore), which had previously fired
about 90 rounds, stood the 57 competitive rounds
without serious wear, but every shell had to be
rammed down with a heavy metal rammer by two
or three men, and several were cracked, or broke up
in firing."
In answer to this permit me to state that the
number of rounds the gun had fired was 284, not
90 ; that the rammer was not made for me, but for
Mr. Jefferys, and was used both by Capt. Scott and
that gentleman as well as by myself. The enclosed
report specifically states that no difficulty occurred
in loading.
No shells cracked in firing ; indeed, seeing that
the shells were loaded, it follows that, had they
cracked, the bursting charge would have ignited,
and an explosion would have ensued, as really did
occur b the shells of several competitors.

The fact is that a percentage of shells fired at
Shoeburyness, from whatever ordnance, rifled or
unrifled, strikes, on grazing, the debris of other
shells, with which the sand is studded. Hence frac-
ture occurs, just• as it would occur were a shell
struck with a sufficiently powerful hammer.

It is true that one unloaded shell has broken in
this gun, from not having been rammed home ; the
same result would occur under the same circum-
stances with any piece of rifled artillery.—l have
the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant,

MBT.ROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS,

The ordinary meeting of the Metropolitan Board
of Works was held yesterday, at the offices of the
Board, Spring-gardens—Mr. J. Thwaites in the

chair.

The financial statement was presented, which
gave the following cash balances in the hands of
the Treasurer : Current accounts, £112,161 12s. Ba.;
deposit accounts, £95,500 ; total, £207,664125. Bd.
Government securities—New 3 per Cent. Annuities,
£27,412 Is. 7d. ; cheques ordered, but not pre-
sented—issued, £147 13%; not issued, £13,093

9s. Ga. Payments were recommended to be made
this day to the amount of £41,490 18s. sd.

THE EMBANKMENT OF THE THAMES.

The Secretary read a letter which had been re-
ceived from the St. Olave's District Board of Works,
expressing their opinion that, considering the neces-
sity and importance of the Thames embankment,
they felt that the views expressed by the Hon. Wil-
liam Cowper, in the correspondence which had ap-
peared in the public prints, were the correct ones,
and that works of such magnitude, if intrusted to
this Board to porform, should at least have the
supervision of her Majesty's Government.

BREAD.

The prices of wheaten bread in the metropolis are from
81d to 9d, of household do., 61d to 8d per 41b loaf.

HAY MARKETS.

SMITHFIELD.—MBBdOW hay, £2 Os to £5 Os Od ; clover
do., £3 lOs to £5 15s; and straw, £1 8s to £1 16s per load.
Both hay and sfraw moved off slowly at late rates.
CUMBERLAND.—Mea4ow hay, £2 Os to £5 Os; clover
do., £3 lOs to £5 15s; and straw, £1 8s to £1 16s per load.
A slow trade.

WHITECHAPEL.—Meadow hay, £2 Os to £5 Os; clover
do., £3 10s to £6 Os Od ; and straw. £1 8s to £1 15s per load.
A slow demand.

' STEAMING ON THE CLYDE.—On the 23d inst. a
proof trial took place of the Neptune, a paddlewheel steamer
about 350 tons and engines of 100 nominal horse power,
built by Robert Napier and Sons, of Glasgow, for plying
, between that city and Rothesay. Although the day was
not favourable for a maximum performance the very high
speed of 1763 knots, or 20.275 statute miles per hour was
attained on the course between the Cumbrae and Cloch
Lights; and this speed was approximately confirmed by two
runs subsequently made before the measured mile in the
Gare Loch, which gave a mean rate of 20.059 statute miles
per hour. This, it is believed, is the highest speed through
the water as yet attained on this side the Atlantie by any
vessel of so limited a size. It is held to be mainly
attributable to the superiority of form derived from
the very high proportionate dimensions which have been
adopted. Her Majesty's yacht is a vessel of 2,000 tons,
with engines of 600 nominal horse-power, and attains her
17 knot speed on proportionate dimensions of 71 times her
breadth to length. The new Holyhead boats are vessels of
upwards of 2,000 tons, with engines of 700 nominal horse-
power, and attain their 18 knots speed on proportionate
dimensions of eight times their breadth to length. The
Neptune is 200 feet in length, with 18 feet 6 inches beam,
and, notwithstanding her comparatively small size, her 17
knots speed, also speaking roundly, has thus been attained
on proportionate dimensions of 10, times her breadth to
length—the highest as yet ventured on, it is believed, in
this country. The engines are of 40-inch cylinders, with
a stroke of 3 feet 6 inches, and the speed :of piston at the
minute.
maximum of 72 revolutions amounted to 504 feet per

MAIN DRAINAGE WORKS.

It was resolved that the Governor and Company
of the Bank of England be requested to give direc-
tions for a further advance of £50,000 for the pur-
poses of the main drainage.
THE INTERNAT lONAL EXHIBITION OF 1862.

A letter was received from Mr. Sandford, secre-
tary to the Interne .tional Exhibition Commissioners,
expressing their opinion as to the propriety of
throwing open the approaches to Brompton for
the
better convenience of the increased traffic that will
necessarily be cau;sed at the opening of the Ex-
hibition.
INCREASE OF SALARY TO THE ASSISTANT ENGINEERS
OF THE BOARD.
A letter was rec eived from Messrs. Levick, Grant,
and Cooper, assistant-engineers, applying for an
increase of salary., owing to the heavy duties thrown
upon them in consequence of the main drainage
works.

Mr. DALTON :moved that the application be re-
ferred to the Mg in Drainage Committee for consi-
deration and reps .art.
Mr. H. L. TAILOR thought the Board ought to
have some infoa-mation to show that it was neces-
sary that theselapplications should bo sent to a com-
mittee. They clught to know the salaries at which
these officers vc 'ere appointed, and whether there
had been any increase to them during the four
years they held. those offices.
Mr. PECKETT said it would be the duty of the
committee to ascertain all these facts.
Mr. Deputy HARRISON also deemed that some
further explanation was required, and it was not to
be supposed that, all applications for an inexease of
salary were to be referred to the committee ea; a mat-
ter of course.
After some further discussion, the matter was
referred to the Main Draining Committee.
THE NEW METROPOLIS GAS ACT.

that this opinion of the Attorney-
General be communicated to the corporation of the
City of London.
On the motion that the subject be referiied to a
committee,
Mr. DeprAty HARRisoN opposed the motion, and
said that it Was a question that ought to be dealt
with by the Whole board. The opinion se iemed to
convey an impression that the City of Lon. don had
done something that it ought not to have d kne, but
if the subject was investigated he believed it would
be found that there was another opinion of high
authority which had justified the City of 1.4% widen in
the course they held pursued.
Mr. DALTON said that it was imperative on them
to carry out the provisions of the act without delay,
and he trusted that not a day would be lost ; in giv-
ing the committee the necessary powers fo r carry-

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.

" Dr. Pickford is Imown 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 oqually 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 resemole it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.

" We have dilated 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."—

carry with them the favour of the multitude. Yet,
if real ability and considerable weight in affairs of
State during the whole of a long Ministerial life give
a claim to the name of statesman, it may be that
Sir James Graham Rill receive the posthumous
honour. But his fame must be the creation of a
painstaking historian. When the political history
of the past 30 years comes to be examined, when
private journals are published, and corespondence
yellow with age sees the light, it may be found how
actively, if not how powerfully, Sir James was
engaged in the many changes which have illustrated
the great age of Reform. To have been always in
the midst of important business, to have shared the
counsels of every leading statesman of his time, and
to have been listened to with deference by all, con-
stitute no mean reputation. On every subject and in
any office Sir James Graham was an able man. Like
the gladiator who, though excelled in each of the
exercises by some one or other of his fellows,
yet stood second in all of them, Sir James
Graham, though not of surpassing eminence in any
branch of politics, was yet a man who in any post
would only have been surpassed by a master mind.
To be the usefal and influential politician who goes
through life with the confidence of all men,and closes
his career with a peerage and a kind of patriarch al
dignity in the political world, is tl.e destiny which
one would have been inclined to foretell for a
man of Sir James Graham's intellectual gifts. That
ho failed in attaining this moral position among his
countrymen, and has been, if not undervalued, at
least postponed in public estimation to colleagues
no abler than himself, has been sometimes regretted,
though the causes are not difficult to discover.

Sir James, however, was probably but little
affected by this failure. He was by constitution
unfitted for the bold game of leading a party. A
strong, vivacious nature, and a geniality either real
or affected, they make a man great in this way ; or
he may attain to the chiefship by steady assertion
of some leading principles which recommend him to
the confidence of powerful classes or interests. But
Sir James Graham must have felt that he had not
the faculties of a Palmerston or a Derby on the one
hand, or of a Peel or a Russell on the other. He
could neither be the favourite of a people nor the
champion of a cause. And as men, happily, soon
learn their shortcomings, and become reconciled to
them, and fancy that what they can attain to is,
after all, the happiest lot, so Sir James Graham
came to place his ambition in being thefidus Achates
of a Ministerial Chief. In the appreciation of his
colleagues he found a compensation for the absence
of popular display. Even when, as in the case of
the Bandieras, he brought opprobrium and invec-
tive on himself, he might say that it was zeal for
the policy of the Government that instigated him,
and that he was only a too devoted colleague of
Lord Aberdeen.

STEAMING ON THE CLYDE.—On the 23d inst. a
proof trial took place of the Neptune, a paddlewheel steamer
about 350 tons and engines of 100 nominal he! se power,
built by Robert Napier and Sons, of Glasgow, for plying
between that city and Rothesay. Although the day was
not favourable for a maximum performance the very high
speed of 17.63 knots, or 20.275 statute miles per hour was
attained on the course between the Cumbrae and Cloch
Lights; and this speed was approximately confirmed by two
runs subsequently made before the measured mile in the
Gare Loch, which gave a mean rate of 20.059 statute miles
per hour. This, it is believed, is the highest speed through
the water as yet attained on this side the Atlantie by any
vessel of so limited a size. It is held to be mainly
attributable to the superiority of form derived from
the very high proportionate dimensions which have been
adopted. Her Majesty's yacht is a vessel of 2,000 tons,
with engines of 600 nominal horse-power, and attains her
17 knot speed on proportionate dimensions of 71 times her
breadth to length. The new Holyhead boats are vessels of
upwards of 2,000 tons, with engines of 700 nominal horse-
power, and attain their 18 knots speed on proportionate
dimensions of eight times their breadth to length. The
Neptune is 200 feet in length, with 18 feet 6 inches beam,
and, notwithstanding her comparatively small size, her 17
knots speed, also speaking roundly, has thus been attained
on proportionate dimensions of 101. times her breadth to
length—the highest as yet ventured on, it is believed, in
this country. The engines are of 40-inch cylinders, with
a stroke of 3 feet 6 inches, and the speed :of piston at the
maximum of 72 revolutions amounted to 504 feet per
minute.

CLERICAL IR TOLE_RANOE.

Mr. DUNLOP, in addressing his constituents the
other day at Glasgow, clearly showed that of all
the intolerance exhibited by the High Church
party in England, nothing surpassed in its un-
reasonableness and revolting bigotry the opposi-
tion made to Sir MORTON PEW'S Burial Bill. It
simply provides that, under certain reasonable
conditions as to time, and so forth, all parishioners
should have liberty to inter in the churchyard of
the parish, with such religious services as were
agreeable to their religious xiews and feelings.
Probably the Bill would not have been
thought of but for the refusal of stiff
Churchmen to read the service over inno-
cent infants and others, dying unbaptised..
The Archbishop of CANTERBURY has distinctly ad-
vised clergymen not to enquire curiously and need-
lessly respecting the baptism of persons who have
died,
rg g
s as they
youngsters
may suspect, without it ; but still some
p ungstersin Holy Orders, and a few old
obstinate clergymen too, take pains to find an excuse
for not interring the children of " heretics." Hence
the proposal last year, that if the clergyman would
not inter the corpse some one else might. And yet
in a Christian land, and in a house which begins its
discussions with prayer to the Father of all, young
lords got up and scoffed at dissenting worship of
their GOD in the most shameless way, and repre-
sented it as a grievous wrong to religion that dis-
senters should bury their dead with religious services
consolatory to their own feelings! It was impudently
argued that the churchyard belonged to the clergy.
man, and not to the parish ; and members of the
British House of Commons talked bigotry worthy
only of the Popery of Spain and Italy. Mr. DUN-
LOP'S castigation was well deserved, and we hope
Sir MORTON PETO will not be daunted by the
grossness of the ecclesiastical bullying to which he
was exposed. What has led us just now briefly to
advert to the subject is an account of one of these
refusal-of-burial cases, which will be found extracted
from the Bedfordshire Mercury in another column.
The Houses of Parliament are bound to put an end
to such worse than heathenish misbehaviour on the
pert of clergymen belonging to a Church which
owes its existence and powers solely to Acts of
Parliament. Clergymen are State servants, and
the Legislature ought to compel them to Christian
decency.

Wesel, have left Fenton's Hotel for Hampshire.

day from visiting Viscount and Viscountess Barrington at

:NEB.

DEATH OF SIR JAMES GRAHAM.

(From the Times.)

Sir J. Graham died, at Netherby, shortly before
noon yesterday. For the last 18 months he had been
suffering from attacks of acute pain in the heart on
the least extra mental or physical exertion. On
Thursday week, having dined with his family as
usual on the previous day, he was seized with pain
of more than usual severity in the heart. Remedies
were applied ; the attack yielded to their influence,
and he gradually improved. Last Thursday he was
so much better that he told his medical attendant
he thought he should shortly be able to dispense
with his services, and, after having had dinner in
his bedroom, he retired to bed about 6 o'clock, say-
ing he felt all the better for having sat up longer
than usual. Soon after that he had another attack
of acute pain, which did not yield to the remedies
applied. He expressed a strong conviction that it
was useless to try any more remedies, as he was
quite sure, from the long continuance of spasms and
from his general feeling, that his end was at hand.
He then gradually sank during the night, and died
at a quarter before 12 yesterday. His faculties were
bright and unimpaired to the last, and he died ex-
pressing the utmost resignation.

His death will take the country by surprise.
Although he had retired from the cares of office, his
interest in public life was undiminished, and in the
last Session of Parliament no man was more regular
in his attendance at the House of Commons. Night
after night, even in those dreary periods of the even-
ing when the House thins, he was to be found in
his place, and listening with the greatest patience
to the longest drawn speeches, In the financial de-
bates of the Session he took an especial interest, and
late at night, when evidently longing for repose, he
might be seen standing at the door of the House,
anxious to go, and yet peering over the members'
shoulders eager to catch the last m ords of the debate.
His support was always of immense advantage to a
Government. If he opened his mouth to speak,
it was said to be worth fifty votes, and
now this tower of strength has suddenly fallen
—the chosen lieutenant of Peel and of late the
chief of the Peelites. If he was not a great states-
man, he was certainly a powerful Minister. He was
too timid to take the first place in politics, and per-
haps he was too unsettled ever to bo a safe guide.
On the other hand, his administrative ability was
of a high order, and his eloquence, assisted as it was
by his great stature, his noble presence, and his fine
voice, was exceedingly effective. These combined
made him a most formidable opponent in Parlia
ment, and, with his vast knowledge of detail, a
most valuable member of any Cabinet. His place,
however, was strictly that of a lieutenant. He was
not a commander of men. With all his ability, he
was never peptide!. He was one of those men
who are more than mediocre, but who do not fulfil
the expectations which they excite.

P.RACTIGAL JOKING IN NOTTINGHAM•

_
Yesterday Mr. Jonathan Burton, an extensive
lace manufacture ; Mr. W. Blackwell, upholsterer ;
and Mr. George Burrows, commission agent, were
brought before the Mayor and a full bench of
magistrates, charged with violently assaulting Mr.
Wm. Henry Brooke, on Friday, the 18th inst., at
the residence of Mr. Burton, one of the parties im-
plicated. Mr. Heath appeared for the complainant,
and Mr. Hanley, of Leicester, for the defendants.
The complainant stated. that a few days ago he
was met in one of the town streets by the defen-
dant Burton, who was in his carriage, aad
was
invited to dine with him on Friday. He accord-
ingly went, taking with him a Mr. Franks.
During dinner wine passed freely, and shortly after
the defendant Burton left the room, and was absent
a considerable time. While he was away Black-
well and Burrows asked complainant if he could
count the pictures in the room blindfolded, to
which he replied that he could not, nor
had he come for that purpose. The two defen-
dants then commenced sparring round the room
until they reached his chair, and then fell on to him.
He was then dragged into the hall, and thence on to
the lawn. Here they commenced the most revolt-
ing indecencies against the complainanti One of
them cut the crown out of his hat, which they then
put on his head, brim uppermost, saying, " Let's
crown the old —." They afterwards pulled him
violently about, tearing his clothes into shreds.
Burrows threw a pot of harness blacking on to him,
blacked his face, and then poured a quantity of
treacle upon him, and ultimately covered him over
with flour. Some liquid had been previonsly thrown
into his faces which caused him very great pain, and
dor a time blinded him. They afterwards took dis-
gusting liberties with him, too revolting for publi-
cation. Mr. Burton came home while defendants
were assaulting him, and stood by laughing. After a
severe struggle,in which complainant smashed a very
costly set of China, he got away, but the injuries he
received were so severe that he was confined to his
bed for two days in consequence. The bench ac-
quitted Mr. Burton, but thought his conduct highly
reprehensible. Mr. Heath said it was a case for the
sessions, but this the magistrates over-ruled, and
fined the other two £5 each, including costs, for the
assault, and £5 costs for the damages.
