I
PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSSMITH'S
" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties cx
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in bus
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
examined in J. Grossmith's "Government upon First Prin-
ciples."

" Foreign Affairs Committee, Sheffield, April 24, 1861.
" My Lord,—This committee have read your lordship's
observations on Thursday last relative to the trumpery case
of Capt. Macdonald with feelings of disgust, arising from
the conviction that you were perfectly aware of the insin-
cerity of your observations. Your object in stating the
falsehood that 'nothing could be more inhospitable than
the system of Prussian administration' was not a bona fide
one. You wished to aid the conspirators who are striving
to bring Prussia into odium, for the purpose of weakening
her and preventing her from resisting the universal aggres-
sions of Russia. Hence arises the indignation of the com-
mittee at seeing your real character and purposes so wholly
different from your professions. It is grievous to see one in
your position consent to let his life be an habitual breach of
the 10th Commandment. This is not the first time that an
attempt has been made to arrest your attention. On the
24th of March, 1858, the Committee declared you to be
your dishonoured in the sight of God and man ;' and that
wickedness' was ' awful,' in reference to your correspon-
dence with Mr. Hargreaves on the Sepoy mutilations of

SPORTING NOTES.

The Doncaster Spring Meeting has proved a decided
failure. On Tuesday the races commenced with the Trial
Slakes, which fell to the lot of the French party with the
aid of Palaiseau. There were only 11 competitors for the
Doncaster Handicap, the result ending in a dead heat be-
tween The Monk and Ipswich. For the deciding heat
The Monk was made the favourite, and won easily by a
couple of lengths. The Hopeful Stakes was contested by
a field of ton, the well-bred Imperatrice (sister to Impe-
rieuse) winning cleverly by a neck from the good looking
Jung Frau, and a fair field. The result of this race caused
a large outlay to be made on Kettledrum, which brought
him to the position of first favourite for the Two Thousand,
as little as 9 to 2 being taken about Colonel Towneley's
horse. General Hesse, my selected for the Londesborough
Plate, just managed to pull through by a head from Lop-
catcher, who is now evidently getting stale. Whitewell se-
cured the Stand Plate, making the second victory for Oates's
stable. Only two of the stakes on the second day created the
slightest interest. Jung Frau, who had an allowance of
51b., won the Betting Room Stakes cleverly by a neck, and
Cosmopolite obtained an easy victory over Lopcatcher in
the Chesterfield Plate. The Hurdle Handicap did not
produce a race, and Mr. Saxon's Vixen attempted to walk
over, but she refused at almost every hurdle. The last
seen of her was in the middle of a field with her forefeet on
a hurdle, and half a dozen stout ploughmen at her back
trying to lift her over, but whether they succeeded remains
a mystery to me, and I suppose the judge also, as she had
not passed the chair up to the time of our going to press.
The backers of Foretop no doubt will get back their money.

There are no fewer than 48 races set for decison at
the Newmarket Spring Meeting, which commences on
Monday, and extends over Friday.
On Monday the only events likely to produce specula-
tion have yet to close. the 50 Sovs. Sweepstakes for four-
yr-olds will go to Thormanby, The 50 Sus Bretby Course
to Prudence or Lady Blanche. The 100 Sovs to Queen of
the Vale or Copernicus.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

MANCHESTER BETTING.-FRIDAT.

We had a very t usy day hero. Much of the time was
occupied with calling over for the Two Thousand Guineas.
The speculation was nearly confined to Klarikoff and
Imaus, the former finishing at 5 to 2 taken, the latter 100
to 7; Kettledrum, Overton, and Proceptress were each
supported, but not to any great amount; Diophantus, who
was backed late last night at 10 to 1, and so proceeded in
his downward ccurse, until 200 to 3 was laid against him,
and then without any outlay of money 40 to 1 was the
highest offer. Elborus had a likle support at 00 to 1, and
received his quietus by 1,000 to 10 being offered. It is a
fair inference that something will run for this race, but,
judging from the betting here, the field should be a very
small one. Closing prices :

THE STARLIGHT CASE.—During the last few days this
case Ims occupied the attention of racing men in no ordinary
degree, for only three horses—Starlight, Ellerton, and
Tomyris—started for the Sweepstakes of 50 sovs each (Ditch
mile), at the late Craven Meeting, the betting thereon was
very heavy, Lord Stamford himself having backed
Ellerton for a great stake. The conditions of the race
referred to exclude horses engaged in the Two Thou-
sand Guineas, One Thousand Guineas, or Newmarket
Stakes, -and as Starlight was engaged in the last named,
the race has been officially awarded to Ellerton, who came
in second.

Industrious, who was backed on the first appearance of
the weights for the Chester Cup at 30 to 1, was struck out
of that race on Thursday last, at 4 p.m.

oN TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORMICEA;
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 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 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."—

tioned at Aldershott, and commanded by Major M'Court,
underwent the usual half-yearly inspection by Brigadier-
General Lord George Paget, C. 8., commanding the Cavalry
Brigade, who was pleased to express his entire satisfaction
with the cleanly and soldierlike appearance of the men and
the goad condition of the horses, as also with the efficient
state of the whole battalion.
The detachment of the 3d Buffs on board the Sir William
Peel, screw transport, were disembarked early yesterday
morning at Portsmouth Dockyard, and were forwarded by

rHE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSSMITH'S
" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in bus
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
examined in J. Grossmith's "Government upon First Prin-
ciples."

A large house dog, showing every mark of being
mad, was seen, two days ago, running through the streets
of Pont-Audemer (Eure.) In less than ten minutes it had
bitten twelve dogs and a cat. Several persons, armed with
different weapons, went in pursuit of the animal, which
was afterwards shot in the outskirts of the town. The
bitted dogs and cat were immediately put to death by order
of the authorities.

It was at Saint Germain-en-Laye that the Duke
d'Aumalo's pamphlet was printed ; Ibe Prefect, deceived
probably by its title, having granted permission for the
publication. Bales of copies were forthwith forwarded to
Paris, but the seizure was effected on the very day on which
the sale commenced.

The Paris Savings' Bank during the last fort-
night received 1,034,080 L, and reimbursed 820,510 f. The
receipts of the Caisse de Itetraites for the Aged amounted
to 310,200 f.
Another Imperial decree in the 111oniteur autho-
rizes the Minister of Public Works to accept, in the name
of the State, the offer made by the town of Colmar, to ads

tion of a canal called " Des Houilleres do la Sarre," and of
a branch from the canal of the Rhone to the Rhine, to Col-
may. The minister is also authorised to accept an offer
made by the proprietors of the Old Salt Works of Dieuze to

ON SPERMATO..RRIICEA.
By F. B. COURTENAY, M.R.C.S.E.,
And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the
Cure of Strictures of the Urethra.

" The aim of the author is to present a common-sense view
of the Causes, Nature, Consequences, and Treatment of this
Disease, as also to free these questions from the Professional
Fallacies, the Popular Delusions, and the exaggerations of
Quackery by which they have hitherto been surrounded, to the
destruction of the health and happiness of thousands. These
objects are discussed in a common-sense and highly practical
manner."—Medical Circular.

son, and prospects are becoming more cheering.
The warehouses continue to do rather more. Manu-

facturers are still keeping down stocks. In the
adjacent country districts there is also a shade of
improvement. Yarns are not much in demand,
without any material alteration in price. Wools
are without change.
NOTTINGHAM, 17.—There is a better feeling in
the lace trade this week. A little more is doing in
cotton goods. Orders are in hand for plain Mechlins
and Mechlin quillings. There is also a little doing
in stiff plain nets for the home market. Muslins
tind cotton edgings are not much in request. There
is more doing in silk
goods. The fineness of the
weather is favourable to the demand for many
classes of goods, and a good trade will be done in
lace suitable for trimmings as the warm weather
sets in. Lace is now very much worn for trim-
mings. In hosiery there is rather more doing, and
prospects generally are more cheering. Stocks are,
however, being kept low, and goods made for the
most part to order. Many hands are yet out of
employ, Yarns keep up in price.

TURKEY.

We have received Constantinople journals and
letters to the sth, but they contain very little
news of interest. They mention the events
which have lately taken place in Montenegro
and the Herzegovine, as well as the blockade
of the coast by a Turkish squadron, but fur-
nish no details beyond what we have already
received. The report of a landing of volun-
teers at Spezza is not confirmed by the accounts
which have reached Constantinople. At the late
sittings of the Turkish Council of Ministers, the
question was discussed whether the Porte ought or
ought not to grant to Moldo-Wallachia the power
of unitin g the two Ministries in to one—a power which
Prince Conza had applied for as a guarantee of order.
The Porte, before coming to any decision on the
subject, has resolved to send a high func-
tionary to the Principalities to examine into
the matter, and to be guided by his report.
This important mission is to be confided either
to Cabouli Effendi, Political Director of the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs, or to Khalil-Bey,
ex-Turkish Minister at Athens. Vice Admiral
Mustapha Pacha, who commanded the Turkish
squadron on the coast of Syria, has returned to
Constantinople in the Taif steam frigate. No
Turkish vessels -now remain on that coast. A report
still prevailed in the Turkish capital of a speedy
issue of paper money, and exchanges kept con-
stantly rising.

that the indemnity of two millions of taels fixed by the
Treaty of Pekin should be paid out of the money first re-
