VOLUNTEER CORPS.

ST. GEORGE'S.
The secretary has received a letter from the
Lord-Lieutenant communicating the gratifying
intelligence that her Majesty has been graciously
pleased to accept the services of the St. George's
Rifles, also the sanction of the Secretary of State
for War to form a battalion consisting of five
companies of 100 men, with the usual compliment
of officers to each company. The uniform. is dark
rifle green, trimmed with black braid ; the pouches
and belts of black leather. The uniforms and ac-
coutrements have been approved by the Lord-
Lieutenant, and are pronounced the most genteel
and suitable of any corps in the metropolis. The
Lancaster rifle, with sword-bayonet, is the arm
selected for the general use of the corps, but as
many gentlemen have expressed a -wish to join pro-
vided they can avail themselves of the rifle provided
by the Government, the committee have deter-
mined upon arming the sth Company with the
short Enfield rifle, as provided by Mr. Secre-
tary Sidney Herbert, in order to meet
their views. The Ist and 2d Companies, now nearly
complete, have been drilling for the last two months
at Burlington House, Piccadilly, the use of which
has been kindly granted the corps by the Right
Hon. Henry Fitzroy, Chief Commissioner of the
Board of Works. During the winter months, the
corps will drill on Wednesday and Frid iy evenings,
from 7 till 9 o'clock, at Allen's Riding School, Sey-
mour-place, Bryanston-square.

THE DANGERS OF CRINOLINE.—On Friday even-

and observing two females with extra-sized hoops approach-
ing, neither of whom seemed disposed to give way, one of
the gentlemen was in the act of stepping off the flags to the
pavement to give room, when his foot caught fast in one of
the hoops, and he was thrown down on his face. He had
one front tooth broken out and his face disfigured ; but,
strange to say, neither of the females stopped to ask if he
was any worse, but left him lying, where he remained f.or
fully five minutes, completely stunned.—Netccaele Daily

BE-APPOINTMENT OF SIR G. GREY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN'.
SIR,-At the conclusion of the interview on Thursday
the Duke of Newcastle volunteered the remark that " after
all nothing had passed on either side which might not have
been published in the newspapers." I presume, therefore,
that I am not out of order in requesting you to make public
the result of that interview, for which, as you justly ob-
serve, the colony and all interested in its welfare are look-
ing with such anxiety.
After intimating his entire concurrence with the views
held by us of the extraordinary administrative powers of Sir
George Grey, the Duke informed us that, by his despatch
of August last, he had practically overruled the decision of
his predecessor, though he could not say that that decision
was not justified. That despatch had crossed Sir George
Grey at sea, but a copy had been sent to him since his ar-
rival in England, and he expected his decision without de-
lay. It now rested with Sir G. Grey to decide whether or
not he would return to the colony as its Governor.
With respect to the fear entertained by his Grace, that
the deputation was likely to canvass the reasons for his pre-
decessor's acts, and thus to trench on the prerogative of the
Crown, I may remark that, thanks to the system that ob-
tains in this country, we are not likely—were we to wish to
do so—to be able to discuss the " why and wherefore" of
Sir G. Grey's recal and re-appointment until the question
is ventilated in Parliament or the correspondence embalmed
in a blue bak.—Yours faithfully,

G. LATEO.II BROWNE.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

Last night Mr. Charles Mathews made his reappearance
in Holcroft's comedy of " The Road to Ruin," playing with
all his accustomed gaiety and vivacity the part of Goldfinch.
He had an able colleague in Mr. Buekstone, who played
Silky, the miser, with infinite humour ; Mr. Chippendale
played Dornton, Mr. Howe Harry Dornton, Mr. Rogers
Sulky, Mr. Clark Jacob ; Mrs. C. Mathews made a charm-
ing unsophisticated Sophia, Mrs. Wilkins was clever and
effective as the Widow Warren. There is no company in
London which could furnish a more effective cast for this
excellent comedy, and the manner in which it was played
last night should stamp it as one of—if not the most—suc-
cessful of the revived comedies which hale lately been pre-
sented at the Haymarket. " The Road to Ruin" was
followed by " Paul Pry ;" Liston's great character being
of course sustained by Mr. C. Mathews, whose perform-
ance created roars of laughter. The other parts were
excellently sustained.

PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin, dated she 22d of October,

says .
The Prince Regent left Berlin this morning by
express train for Breslau, accompanied by Prince
Frederick William, Prince Albrecht (son), the
Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of War,
and many councillors of the Foreign-office, and
various officers of the Prince Regent's military staff.
The Prince goes as far as Ohlan to welcome the
Emperor of Russia.
The Emperor will not touch the Austrian terri-
tory, nor is he likely to have an interview with the
Emperor of Austria, as has been reported.
The Emperor will leave Breslau on the night be-
tween Monday and Tuesday. The Prince Regent
will leave on the Tuesday morning. A great poli-
tical bearing is generally attributed to this meet-
ing. .

A despatch dated the 24th October says :
" The Emperor of Russia arrived at Breslau yes-
terday morning at half-past 9 o'clock, accompanied
by the Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar and the Prince

of Orange. A grand reception took place at the
railway station."

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, OCTOBER, 22.

Baron Hubner has ceased to be Minister of Police,
and will leave for Gmiinden, in Upper Austria, this
evening. The cause of Baron Hubner's sudden re-
tirement is not yet positively known, but there is
good reason for believing that his Majesty thought
his bias in favour of " decentralisation " was too
strongly pronounced. When in Hungary a fort-
night or three weeks ago the ex-Minister of Police
was somewhat less guarded in his conversation than
he, as a member of the Cabinet, ought to have been.
He certainly did not say that the Imperial Govern-
ment was not disinclined to place Hungary on the
same footing as she was eleven years ago, but some
of the remarks which he made induced the san-
guine Hungarians to believe that the Cabinet in-
tended to introduce an entirely new system. Some
23 persons were present at Tot Megyer, an estate of
Count L. Caraly's, while Baron Hubner was there,
and among them were Count Sohn Waldstein, who
was formerly President of the Hungarian Diet, and
Baron Anthony Babarczy, one of the leaders of the
Old Conservative party. On one occasion Baron
Hubner requested the Hungarians to give him some
insight into their ante-March municipal institutions,
and in the course of the conversation which ensued
he dropped a hint that the Imperial Government
would not be disinclined to make concessions in
municipal matters to all the provinces of the empire.
The ex-Minister is also said to have declared that
the Government would not object to admit a Hun-
garian who enjoyed the confidence of his fellow-
countrymen into the Cabinet.

/THE TREATMENT of STRICTURES of the

simple means.
By P. B. COURTENAY,

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 va'iouc
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 valuable
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, Dec. Ist, 1858.

In accordance with orders received from the
Horse Guards the interesting ceremony of decora-
ting a private soldier of the depot of the 43d Light
Infantry with a silver medal, which, together with
a gratuity of £5, had been awarded him by the
Duke of Cambridge for long service and meritorious
conduct, took place on the general parade-ground at
Chatham Barracks on Saturday afternoon, in the
presence of the whole of the officers and men of the
Ist battalion, to which the 43d depot is attached.
The troops having been formed, private Joshua
Leader was called to the front by Colonel Jervis,
who presented him with the medal and ribaud,
which was fastened to his breast by the adjutant of
the battalion. Private Leader has been upwards
of 21 years in her Majesty's service, during the
whole of which period his conduct has been most
exemplary. lie served with the gallant 43d in the
Caffre war of 1851-53, for which he is decorated

FRANCE.

PARIS, MONDAY.
It is said that the force which the French Govern-
ment
had decided to send to China which was fixed
originally at 12,000 men, is now reduced to 6,000.
It is said further that the expedition to China will
.tot be despatched until the month of February
next, unless circumstances should arise in the mean-
time which it is not possible to anticipate.
The weather in Paris has undergone a very de-
cided change. For some nights past there has
been what is called white frost ; but the night be-
fore last it became considerably sharper. Two
nights ago, on the coast of Normandy, the atmosphe-
ric phenomena were rather singular, as it rained,
hailed, froze, snowed, and thundered. On the
morning before last, in the neighbourhood of Caen,
the roads were slightly covered with snow, which
soon melted away. Snow has also made its appear-

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.

A translation of the French vaudeville, "La Femme
Metamorphosee en Chatte," was performed here last even-
ing, for the purpose of introducing Miss Louise Keeley in
one of Mademoiselle Jenny Vertpre's most celebrated parts.
The trifle, which, by the way, is termed "a dramatic folly,"
is entitled " Puss, or Metempsychosis," and is as follows :
—A crack-brained German student, Carl (Mr. J. G. Shore),
being utterly ruined, and refusing from pride to accept of
assistance from his only relative and heiress cousin, Ade-
laide (Miss Louise Keeley), hides himself in a garret
with a pet cat—all that fortune has left him—to brood
over his sorrows, and nurse his favourite crotchet of
the Metempsychosis. This weakness is taken advantage
of for the purpose of releasing him from his sufferings. He
is made to believe that Puss is actually turned into a living
loving woman, but his raptures are considerably chilled by
finding that the lady still retains the characteristics of her
feline race. After subjecting the poor student to all sorts
of torments and delights, he is undeceived, and of course
marries the lady. In pourtraying this very difficult part,
Miss Keeley acted with a spirit and freshness that was
quite enchanting. With two little bows on her forehead
suggestive of ears, she assumes with the utmost felicity all
the sportive demeanour of a kitten, understanding so well
how to alternate the velvet with the claw, that she softens

her master as effectually by her coaxing as she enrages him
by her mischief.
At the fall of the curtain the applause was enthusiastic,
and for many nights to come Miss Keeley will bo called
upon to repeat her exquisite performance of " Poor Puss."

TS,

THE INNS OF COURT.

The corps of the Inns of Court continues to re-
ceive fresh additions to its numerical strength
every day. Starting little more than a fortnight
ago, with about 200 members, the number up to
last night had increased to 520, and the practice
proceeds with unflagging energy and spirit. The
corps is divided into six companies, each of which
is drilled twice a day, either in the hall or grounds
of Lincoln's-inn, or in those, of the Inner and Mid-
dle Temple, by five experienced sergeants from the j
Coldstream Guards, headed by Sergeant-Major
Penyward. Scores of the volunteers were being
exercised in the position drill yesterday afternoon,
both in the Temple-garden and the grounds of
Lincoln's-inn, regardless of the frost and snow.
Many more were similarly engaged in the halls.
The great majority of the corps have now advanced
as far as the platoon exercise, and the rest, who
joined later, are rapidly passing through th•
preliminary stages. Mr. Bentinck, M.P. for
Taunton, occupies the honourable position of an
effective member of the corps. The War De-
partment, on short notice, furnished the requisite
number of rifles with great promptitude. Shortly
after Christmas the whole of the corps is to be as-
sembled for the purpose of electing officers. The
question of the uniform is wisely deferred for the
present, pending the inquiry about to be instituted
on the general subject at the War-office in Pall-
mall, by a committee nominated by the Govern-
ment.

HARWICH.

The artillery corps in course of formation in this
town and neighbourhood has at present 31 effective
and 15 honorary members. Mr. E. W. Garland has
presented £5O, and the members for the borough,
the Hon. W. F. Campbell and Captain Jervis, £lO
each in aid of the movement. It is expected that a
rifle company will also be formed in the Tendring
hundred.

HEXHAM.
A numerously attended meeting of the inhabi-
tants of Hexham took place on Thursday, in the
Court-house, to establish a rifle corps in that town.
Mr. J. M. RIDLEY, on behalf of the grand jury
assembled at the recent assizes, said that that body
had given the movement their unqualified and
unanimous approval, They regretted that the
Lord-Lieutenant had not called a public meeting
of the whole country on the subject ; but, inasmuch
as the population was much scattered, they thought
it an excellent plan to make the towns nuclei, and
the outlying districts might join them if expedient.
About 80 gentlemen have already promised to
join the corps, and Mr. Beaumont, M.P., has pro-
mised a donation.
London, England, 1859-12-17

CUMBERLAND.

The volunteer movement is progressing very
satisfactorily in Cumberland. In Carlisle the num-
ber of volunteers is 100, and there is no doubt that
a great many more will come forward as soon as
the committee are in a position to make some defi-
nite announcement as to what sum each effective
will be required to contribute.
At Keswick a preliminary meeting was held on
Monday, Dr. Leitch in the chair, when the follow-
ing resolution was proposed by the Rev. T. D. H.
Battersby, seconded by Mr. 1). R. Harrison, and
unanimously adopted :
" That the present meeting resolves to attempt the forma-
tion of a company of volunteers for the parish of Cresthwaite,
feeling well convinced that the volunteer rifle movement is
calculated to foster a truo spirit of independence and to
diffuse loyal, manly, and patriotic sentiments among all
classes of people ; and that, if steadily and zealously carried
out, it will put an end for ever to those periodical panics
and fears of invasion so injurious to commerce, so destruc-
tive to our friendly relations with foreign Powers, and alto-
gether so unworthy of a great and brave nation."

A committee was appointed to make the necessary
arrangements, and it was recommended that the
corps should be called The Skiddaw Gray Rifles,"
and be clad in Skiddaw gray-coloured uniform.
Thirteen gentlemen expressed themselves ready to
provide their own rifles, uniforms, and accoutre-
ments:

We had a moderate attendance of millers and dealers at
market this morning, and a fair disposition to do business
in wheat, which readily supported last Friday's pricesats a
.
Flour in limited demand, but unaltered in value. O
slow sale, and oatmeal a fair sale. The amount of business
transacted in Indian corn was greater, and fully supported
previous rates. Barley, beans, and peas gave way to
slight extent. The market closed steady.

WAKEFIELD—DEc. 16.
The show of wheat was fair, and there being but few
last
arrivals, the quotations remain about the same as a
market. The business done in barley was limited, but
easier in price. Oats, shelling, and other articles were all
at previous prices. Flour dull.

FRANCE.

PARIS, FRIDAY.
The state of Prince Jerome's health is alarming

It was hoped yesterday, from the improvement
which set in and was maintained for some time,
that great danger had disappeared ; but from the
answer to inquiries at the Palais Royal at 4 o'clock
this evening, it would appear that the improve-
ment has not only not continued, but that the suf-
ferer is much worse. The Emperor has visited his
uncle three times since yesterday. Prince Napo-
leon, whO has been always deeply and sincerely at-
tached to his father, is said to be in a state of great
affliction.

The _Bulletin des Lois publishes a decree open-
ing to the Minister of Marine an extraordinary
credit, for 1859, 0f42,743,600E, of which 38,300,250 f.
were appropriated to the war in Italy, and
4,443,350 f. to the Indo-Chinese expedition. Another
decree opens to the same Minister a second extraor-
dinary credit of 6,300,000 f. for the Indo-Chinese'
expedition; and a third decree authorises the sale,
for ' the benefit of the Treasury, of the Forest of
Bondy, containing about 1,160 hectores (2,900
acres).
THE BOURSE, Dec. 16.—The market has been
rather heavy. ,Threes, after having been done at
70f. 75c., declined to 70f. 50c., but are now at 70f
60c. ; Mobilier varied from 850 f. to 855 f. ; Aus-

Translated from the German of Dr. PIUKFORD.

" 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 ow❑
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 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."—

7I 1B NAVY,
<l,-

The plans and measurements for the Royal Oak
and the Belvedere, two of the new 91 gun screw
steamers ordered to he built at Chatham dockyard,
have been prepared, under the superintendence of
Admiral ...Sir B. Walker,, K.C.8., Surveyor of the
Navy, from whose designs they will be built. They
will be commenced at Chatham on the first slips
that become vacant, several of the vessels of war
now buildinc, at that establishment being inz very
forward state. The Royal Oak and the Belvedere
will be sister-ships to the Atlas, 91, and the Bul-
wark, 91, now being constructed at Chatham.
The Board of Admiralty having decided on con-
siderably enlarging th© present barracks for the
Royal Marines at Chatham, in order to afford bar-
rack accommodation for several hundred additional
men, with increased accommodation for a larger
number of officers than can be at present provided
with quarters, the blocks of buildings adjoining the
barracks have been purchased by the Government,
who have allowed a liberal compensation to the oc-
cupiers, in order that they may be pulled down and
the site cleared for the works to be commenced.

The proposed enlargement of the barracks will
necessitate the removal of about 20 houses, with
two hotels, it being the intention of the Admiralty
to extend the barracks a,_; far as Chatham church.

The words sill involve an outlay of about £lOO,OOO,
a considerable portion of which has been already
voted by Parliament. The removal of the build-
ings purchased by the Admiralty has commenced,
in order that the proposed extension may be begun
early in the ensuing spring.
The paddlewheel steam vessel Advice, second
master M. C. Raymond, sailed from Plymouth for
Queenstown on Thursday, with seamen belonging
to the screw steamship Hawke, who navigated,the
Shamrock.to Plymouth.
The screw steamship Revenge, 91, having been
masted at Devonport, was warped on Thursday
from the sheer hulk alongside the dockyard jetty,
to be rigged for the steam reserve.
The screw steamship Con qu eror,lol,Capt.Wilcox,
was removed from her moorings at Devonport on
Thursday into Keyham steam basin, preparatory
to being docked.
The pe.ldlewheel steam storeship Dee, Thomas
C. Pullen, master commanding, was taken out of
the basin at Keyham, Devonport, on Thursday,
and, having embarked a detachment of marines,
sailed for Portsmouth and. Woolwich.
The following appointments were made yester-
day at the, Admiralty :—Commander C. H. Wale,
to be Inspecting .Commander of the Coastguard,
vice Commander Baker, whose term of service has
expired ; and David T. Waugh, clerk,> to be secre-
tary's clerk to the Victory.
