MISCELLANEOUS MAGAZINES:

The new series of The Eclectic opens with a
notice of the " Memoirs of the late Christmas
Evans," a celebrated preacher of Wales. It is
justly remarked that we in England know little of
Welsh preaching, nor of its stirring effects on that
excitable people. Among other papers is a criticism
on Charles Dickens's " Great Expectations" and au
essay on " Popular Education."—Newton's London
Journal has an article on " The Patent Law and its

we have often spoken of in terms of com-
mendation, and it fully maintains its charac-
ter. The contents, whether religious, didactic,
discursive, or amusing, are alike excellent. There
is a variety of pleasant and profitable read-
ing to be found in its pages, and the illustratons
are numerous and good of the kind.—Cassell's pub-
lications proceed as usual. The two editions of
Cassell's Illustrated Family Bible have attained a
large circulation, which is not surprising. Cassell's
Family Paper and The Ladies' Treasury are both
well calculated for the domestic circle. His Popular
Natural Ristory and Illustrated Ristory of
England will be very valuable to self-instructors.—
The Quiver, a new religious paper, under the
management of the same enterprising publisher, is
issued in weekly numbers and monthly parts. It
promises well, being devoid of that intolerance and
bigotry which so often mars the effect of well-
intentioned periodicals of this class. It professes
to be " evangelical and unsectarian in its character,
having for its grand aim the intellectual, moral,
and spiritual improvement of its readers; its staff
of contributors to include some of the ablest writers
in the sphere of religious literature, irrespective of
denominational differenees." There is ample room
for a paper of this kind, if carried out in the spirit
thus indicated, and we trust it may have a
large circulation. among our labouring classes.—

THE VIGOUR OF YOUTH RESTORED IN
FOUR WEEDS by Dr. RICORD'S ESSENCE OF
LIFE.
This wonderful agent will restore manhood to the most
shattered constitution, whether arising from self-pollution,
excesses, nocturnal emissions, the effects of climate, or natu-
ral causes. The time required to cure the most inveterate
case is lour weeks ; and, if used according to the printed in-
structions (which are very simple), failure is impossible.
This life-restoring remedy should be taken by all about to
marry, as its effects are permanent. It is acknowledged by
the medical press to be the greatest discovery ever made.
Success in every case is as certain as that water quenches
thirst.
Dr. Ricord's Essence of Life is sold in cases, with full in-
structions for use, at lie., or four quantities in one for 335.,
and may be sent to any part of the world, carefully packed,
on receipt of remittance stamps.

SPAIN.

The Correspondencia of Madrid announces that
the negotiations relating to the affairs of Mexico
have been interrupted, and details some of the
measures which it states have been adopted by
the Spanish Government. It says,—

" Spain, whose interest in Mexico is greater
that that of any other European Power, has not
been able to come to an understanding with
France and England, as to the means to be em-
ployed to obtain satisfaction for the injuries of
which it has to complain, and to extend to its
sif)jects, who are murdered every day, an effective
protection. Spain, consequently, intends to act
alone in Mexico, as its interests and dignity re-
qu=ire, without regard to what the English or
F reach journals may say."

POLAND.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
WARSAW, SEPT. 26.
The panic spread through Germany by the tele-
graphic announcement that the Germans here were
being persecuted by the Polish inhabitants was,
perhaps, as good an instance of the accuracy and
influence of telegrams as could well be found. The
news was about as true, and was the cause of quite
as much writing and talk, as the famous hoax of
the fall of Sebastopol. These" persecutions," which
were the subject of such severe comments in the
German papers, have at last resolved themselves
into a mere street row, which resulted in the smash-
ing of the windows and destruction of the articles
exhibited in them, of the shops of Wendel, a con-
fectioner, in Honey-street, and Bartz, a baker, in
Marshal-street. The whole affair is universally
attributed to the machinations of the police ; none
were concerned in it but a few people of the lowest
class, and the riot was promptly put down by the
more respectable of the inhabitants. The further
news sent to Germany by the telegraph, that no
German in Warsaw is safe, is as false as the first.
There is, of course, no great sympathy or friendship
between the Poles and the Germans, two nations
utterly opposed to each other in character, feeling,
and interest, and the Germans certainly do all they
can, by refusing to close their shops when every
other shop in the town is closed, and so on, to
widen the breach between them; but nothing can
be farther from the intentions of the patriotic party,
who are all-powerful with the Poles, than to divert
their strength and spoil their moral ascendancy,
all of which they want for the attainment of
their great object, national independence, by
petty persecutions of German shopkeepers.
Accordingly, the more respectable of the
citizens have revived their organisation as it was
before the Bth April. Bands of constables for the
preservation of the peace of the town have again
been formed, though in secret, as the Government
would, of course, oppose such a means of foiling its
plans, and addresses to the inhabitants have been
posted on the walls, recommending them to keep
the peace, and warning them against the machina-
tions of police agents pretending to be patriots.
The elections for the municipal councils have
passed off with the greatest unanimity and order, k

GEIVER4L TU.RR'S MARRIAGE.

Sir Thomas Wyse, the British Minister at Athens,
has addressed the following letter to the editor of
Galignani's Messenger:—

" ATHENS, Sept. 19.

" Seeing that you have copied from other papers
into your Messenger a letter from General Turr,
dated Lake Como, Sept. 2, in which he announces
his approaching marriage with, as he states, Mdlle.
Adeline Buonaparte-Wyse. In older to correct
this statement, and other misconceptions and mis-
takes, affecting me and my family, which have
crept into other papers, and to prevent their recur•
rence for the future, I find it necessary to declare
that the person so designated is no relative of mine,
Having inserted General Turn letter I

number; but their general quality was inferior. The few
prime breeds on offer were disposed of at Monday's cur-

limited—were a dull inquiry, at late rates. Pigs cop-

ON THE SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT of

removed by the most simple means. •
By F. B. COURTENAY, M.R.C.S.E.,
And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the
Cure of Strictures of the Urethra.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded. By his systematic management
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuab,
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the Private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular.

the possibility of peace. Therefore he could per-
fectly understand, however much they might
lament this war, that every patriotic Northerner
would say, "We will fight it out." And, depend
upon it, that was the instinct of the men of the,

North. He believed the war would go on until
they had found out which was the stronger
side, until they had been able to ascertain
whether the men of the North could defeat
the men of the Soutt. or not. (Hear, hear.) This
was the instinct of the men of the North. Already
they had more men than General M'Clellan knew
how to deal with, in getting them drilled; and it
muat not be supposed that the want of money would
stop them. The men of the Northern States of
America were vastly richer than the men of other
countries who had gone on fighting a long time, and
money did not stop men from fighting when their
blood was up. It was dangerous to prophesy any-
thing at all; but he did prophesy that, if this war
continued, the North would beat the South. (Hear,
hear.) They had more money than men, and a bet-
ter cause. But if the South were defeated, would
they be re-admitted into the Union, or form a sepa-
rate Republic ? He thought the North would pre-
fer that they should not enter into partnership again
with the slaveholders, and they would be quite con-
tent if they were to hem in and girdle round the
beautiful tree. (Hear, hear.) He did not believe
the North would stop this war until they had got
the control of the Mississippi. The South might
found a separate and independent slave republic,
with the coast line of Florida taken off. But he
was by no means sure that the result would be the
restoration of the Union. He did not expect it,
but he did not think it was impossible. Mr. Fors-
ter concluded by strongly urging the adoption by
this country of the principle of absolute non-inter•
vention.

A very cordial vote of thanks to the lecturer,
moved by Mr. Kenion, seconded by Mr. J. V. God-
win, and supported by the Rev. J. H. Ryland, was
passed, and the meeting separated.

THE EAST INDIAN TELEGRAPH.

As the English can make no use of the Red Sea
cable, they propose now to construct aerial lines
through the wild and barbarous countries of Asia
Minor and Persia, and thence to Belooehistan and
Affghanistan. Although the carrying out of such
a project may be successful, yet the maintaining of
such a line in a state of repair would be equally
expensive as difficult.
But if a general telegraphic communication with
the East Indies should crown such an undertaking
with success, a glance at the map of Russia would
convince one that the Russian telegraph line along
the Caspian Sea, Orenburg, and Omsk, can very
easily be extended to Teheran, the shores of Syr-
Darja, and the Sea of Issik-Kul, and that, in case
of any political misunderstanding, the short line

CROYDON GREA7 CATTLE FAIR.

--
This great cattle fair was opened yesterday morn-
ing at eight o'clock, but for several hours previous
the inhabitants of the town were on the gut me
and the different roads leading to Croydon pre-
sented a very animated scene, from the continuous
stream of vehicles, intermingled with droves of
cattle and flocks of sheep that had been placed in
paddocks and fields in the vicinity, and for a con-
siderable distance around Croydon.
In the horse market, in addition to the usual
number of horeedealers and farmers in want of
animal for agricultural purposes, officers from Wool-
wich, Maiddone, and Canterbury were engaged in
purchasing horses for the Artillery, Cavalry, and
Military Train. The number of beasts was very
large, and in good demand, Scotch fetching from.
£l3 to £18; Herefords from £l2 to £l6; Dovons
were greatly inquired for, and realised from £l4
to £B9.

The fair will be continued today and to-morrow,

We read in Galignani:—" Mr. E. Watkin

THE TRICE OF GOLD

Ilhe quotation of gold at Paris is about i per mine prem.,
and the short exchange on London is 25.371 per LI sterling.
(
i,,j4 comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
10id. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
'.)ut I-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
113' advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4:M per mark,
and the short exchange on London is 13.71 per £l. sterling.
Itandard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
10th
- per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg.
_The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days, sight is 1081 to 1091 per cent., which, when compared
with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the
_,.ce.hange is against England, But, after making allowance
y Pride leaves
of interest and charges of transport, the present
lee leaves no profit on bending gold to the United States.

ON THE SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT of

By F. B. COURTENAY, 31.R.C.5.E.,
And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the
Cure of Strictures of the Urethra.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded. By his systematic management
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief ptevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuab_
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular.

LITERATURE.

___4-_________

The Journal of Agriculture, and the Transactions
of the _Highland and Agricultural Society of
Scotland.

This quarterly serial affords its usual quota of
information on agricultural topics. There is a long
discourse on poultry, which imparts some useful
hints. It states that " poultry have never received
that degree of attention nor had that importance
attached to them in this country which they un-
questionably deserve. The consequences of this
too general neglect are, that we have to import an
immense quantity both of fowls and eggs; that
the latter are at all times higher priced than they
ought to be; and that fowls are much less
used as articles of food than the nutritious
and palatable qualities of their flesh render desi-
rable." With respect to M. Lavergne's opinion,
however, it must be said that he is wrong in his
statement that the fowls of France are superior to
those of England. No ono who has visited the
Continent will believe what he says of their pre-
cocious fattening. In a numerical point they may
have the advantage, but certainly not in appearance.
Various other papers connected with agriculture
are discussed in this interesting number.

The Medical Critic and Psychological Tournal.
Edited by Forbes Winslow, M.D. Davies,
Princes-street.

This able serial contains some important articles
on medical and psychological subjects. It is less
exclusively devoted to the consideration of mental
disease than of old, although that important branch
of medical science still occupies a prominent place
in its pages. The Esthetics of Suicide and Unre-
cognised Insanity are two valuable papers. The
latter is founded on a recent French work by the
physician to the Hospice de la Salpetriere, and
treats of those melancholy cases, "whose disease,"
it is justly observed, " spreads greater misery
and misfortune over a wider sphere than
less subtle infirmities." To this unhappy class belong
the thieves, shoplifters, and other criminals who
occasionally disgrace respectable connections. A
paper on " Female Physicians" has much to say in
their favour, and those who ridicule such a field
for feminine talents should learn moderation from
so eminent an authority in medical science. There
are several articles referring to the study of medi-
cine, and the usual accounts of "English and Foreign
Literature." A paper on the case of the "Egyptian
Frigate at Liverpool and the Causation of Fevers"
deserves consideration on the` part of the owners
of our merchant vessels. Many other articles of
value are to be found in the number.

THAMES.

HORRIBLE MURDER ON BOARD AN A3IERICAN SHIP.
—Win. Henry Hawkins, a black man, late steward of the
American ship Lammargier, was brought before Mr. Selfe,
charged with the wilful murder of Captain William H.
Adams, off the coast of Devonshire.

The prisoner has bees in the custody of the Thames
police since yesterday morning, and the ship is now lying
in the Victoria Dock. The Lammargier sailed from the
port of London for Callao twelve days ago. On Sunday
morning last the Captain was foully murderedoff the Start,
and the ship put back immediately and arrived in the Vic-
toria Dock yesterday morning at an early hour.
Mr. John Brown Ross, surgeon, High-street, Shadwell,
said that he had examined the body of the deceased captain.
There was a very large wound over the right frontal bone,
which was battered in, also over the right parietal and right
temple-bone, which were battered in and the brains pro-
truding. There were two fractures communicating with
each other. He had also examined a chopper on board. It
was a new one, and had been washed, but he could trace
human blood and human hair upon it.

Mr. Myers, an American, the second officer of the ship
Lammargier, gave evidence at great length of the sailing
of the ship on the 21st of September from London, to
the captain and steward having words after the vessel
sailed, and to the steward's eye being marked
as if he had been struck. The steward at breakfast time
on Tuesday week said, " I'll give you all a chance to get
back to London." He told the steward that whatever
secrets he might have he had better keep them to himself.
The chief officer said to the steward, " The captain is a
strange man. If you get to the right side of him you will
be all right." The steward said, " I am a strange max
too. No one on board this ship knows me yet." On Sun-
day morning last the captain was found in his cabin mur-
dered, and the blood oozing from his head, which had been
cut open with a hatchet. The steward was immediately
secured and put in irons.
Mr. Solfe decided that he must have the Secretary of
State's warrant before be could proceed further with the
case, and remanded the prisoner.
