ANO7HER GALE.-SHOCKING kl-13P

WRECKS ON THE COAST.

Another serious gale from the eastward has
swept the North Sea and south coast, occasioning
several melancholy shipwrecks. It commenced
early on Tuesday, and continued, with more or less
violence, during the night, the cold being very
severe. A sad list of disasters has been received
by Lloyd's agents. We append a notice of the
more serious.

While the gale was at its height on Tuesday,
between one and two o'clock, a large French brig,
called the Theodore, Captain Leblond, bound to
Dieppe from the Tyne, which had become dis-
abled, was driven ashore at Skinningrove, a few
miles from Redcar ; and within a quarter of
an hour or so after she struck, owing to the sea
which broke over her and her violent bumping, she
began to go to pieces. The crew, eight in number,
seeing the inevitable loss of their vessel, took to the
ship's boat, and in endeavouring to reach the shore
was capsized, when the whole of the poor fellows,
with the exception of the captain, were drowned.
The master, when picked up, was in a very
exhausted state. The brig speedily went to pieces,
and her cargo was strewed on the coast. Several of
the bodies have been cast up.
A heavy loss is reported to have happened on the
Roar Bank, on the east side of Dungeness. The
barque Sarah Love, bound to London from St.
Vincent, was making her way up Channel on
Tuesday, when she went ashore on the Roar Bank
and remained. The coast-guard were soon in
Attendance, and every effort was made to get her
off, but without success. The last accounts state
that her back is broken. The unfortunate ship
hailed from Sunderland.

Two colliers, named the Mayor, of Sunderland,
and the Zephyr, of Stockton, bound to London,
were wrecked on the Swin Middle-sand, two of
the crew of the latter vessel perishing. The sur-
vivors suffered much from the severe cold, and
were rescued and landed in the river Colne by
the smack Queen Victoria, of Brightlingsea.
Another collier, the Cockermouth Castle, bound
to Dieppe from Shields, was lost on the Inner
Dowseys on Tuesday night. About 20 miles north
west of the Humber, the mate and crew of
the collier brig Charles Henry of Sunderland,
abandoned that vessel in a sinking state. She had
lost her rudder and was totally dismasted. The
master, John Anson, refused to leave her, and his
fate is left in great uncertainty. The crew, who
took to the boat, were picked up by the collier brig
Elizabeth Young of Shields, and, with the excep-
tion of a seaman named Lea, who was drowned,
were safely landed.
It is feared that some sad catastrophe has oc-
curred between Orfordness and Harwich. Several
bags of tobacco and spices have been picked up,
and some bags containing black pepper, marked
"B. C. L." and "J. J. and Z." A ship's topmast,
lower yard, and beams have also been cast ashore.

Let the Southern idea be carried out, and before
long the whites will stand amongst the negroes scarcely as
thousands amongst millions. The negro population will
be enormous—the white population, as fortunes become
more and more concentrated into a few hands, will proper.
tionably decrease. To be sure, we hold British India upon
such terms; but commercially speaking, that is not the
most profitable speculation wo have taken in hand. It may
be added that, were we to attempt to govern India in such
a spirit, one of two results would surely follow—our
expul-
sion within the next twenty years, or the bankruptcy of the
mother-country.--Once Weak,

AMUSING SCENE.

An amusing scene occurred yesterday beneath
my eyes, near the grotto of Posilippo, on the road
leading to Pozzuoli. Two young Neapolitans and
a Garibaldian major were taking a ride in that
direction, when all at once they heard a cry of
" Long live Francis 11. !" They looked round, but
w ere unable to discover whence the cry proceeded.
As they were continuing their journey to Naples
they passed a little jaunting-car, of the kind so
common in Naples, in which were seated two monks.
The horsemen kept riding on at a little distance
behind the car. They observed that the monks,
as often as they passed a group of peasants,
stood up, waved their handkerchiefs in the
air, and shouted, " Long live Francis 11. !" The
three horsemen straightway galloped after them,
and began laying their whips most lustily
across their backs, and shoulders, and faces,
until the last presented one mass of livid
stripes. The driver, in the hope of saving the
monks from their three persecutors, pushed on his
little horse as quickly as possible ; the faster the
horse went the faster the pursuers followed, and
now there came up an empty carriage, following
in the same direction with the car, namely, that
of Naples. The coachman, on learning what had
happened, said to the three riders, " Just get out
of the way for a minute, and let me settle them ;
I'll cure the monks of shouting Francisll. for some
time to come." Forwards he dashed, with all the
speed which his two strong horses could put
forth, against the car, which his heavy car-
riage tilted clean over by the road-side. There
was no mischief done except that the two monks
were well rolled in the mire. At a little dis-
tance from the spot was a picket of the national
guards. The monks invoked their assistance, re-
viling their assailants as assassins and highwaymen,
and on their representations the national guards
were on the point of arresting the riders when the
original cause of the affair was set forth, and the
monks themselves were carried off to prison. Should
you be inclined to pass too severe a censure on the
summary manner in which the riders treated the
monks, it is but fair to the former to add that they
stood a fair chance of being assassinated them selves
by the groups of peasants whom the monks were
thus endeavouring to excite to reactionary move-
ments, and that they really had to thank the stu-
pidity of the man who drove the car for thus gal-
loping on, instead of giving time to the monks to
harangue the peasants. I was a witness of the
whole transaction.—Letter from Naples.

DR. LA'MERT on the Treatment and cure of
NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, resulting
from pernicious habits contracted in Youth, excesses in Man-
hood, or residence in Tropical Climates. With Cases and En-
gravings from Life, representing the various Organs in
Health and Disease.
The extensive circulation of this work may be attributed in
great measure to the fact that the Author is the only duly
qualified and legally registered Practitioner who for 20
years has made the Diseases arising usually from
Imprudence the peculiar objects of his attention. The im-
pediments which so often either prohibit wedlock, or embitter
and render it a state of misery, by disappointing its fondest
hopes and marring its highest objects, are, though varied in
form, closely analogous in reality. The mischief may arise in-
nocently, from deleterious influences devolved from the
necessities of position—from circumstances which occurred
years before the sufferers were born, from accident or the in-
fluence of tropical climates, but chiefly from Self-incurred
Afflictions, dating back, in too numerous instances, to a period
long preceding that at which reason could be matured by ex-
perience.
A professional prejudice, which happily is now fast disap-
pearing, though it still lingers with no little obstinacy in
some of the more antiquated medical schools, for a long time
almost ignored the morbid affections comprised under the
general designation "Nervous and Physical Debility," though
these affections are probably more destructive and widely pre-
valent than any others.
The consequence of so important a department of pathology
being neglected is, that sufferers from the infirmities in
question, virtually repelled from consultation with prac-
titioners of standing and character, are thus liable to fall into
the hands of unqualified Empirics, sometimes assuming titles
of Physicians-and Surgeons, whose names are not to be found
in the Medical Register (whereby they incur serious legal
penalties), whose ignorant meddling with the treatment of
these cases render these disorders a standing reproach to the
medical profession. Those who may have a suspicion
that any of the observations here made have peculiar applica-
tion to themselves, may consider that cases are indeed rare
in which practised science cannot fully realise long-deferred
hopes, remove all causes of mutual reproach, and replace
chronic embitterment by permanent content.
Dr. La'Mert. M.D., Honorary Member of the London Hos-
pital Medical Society, jtc., is the only legally qualified regis-
tered practitioner who, for 20 years, has devoted his attention
to the treatment of these disorders. At home for coasulta-
tation daily, from 10 till 2, and fromS 6 tin 8.

is dated 7th inst.:—

" Italians of the Neapolitan Provinces !—The
cares of Government have obliged me, to my re-
gret, to separate myself from you. I cannot
give you a greater proof of affection than
that of sending you my beloved cousin, Prince
Eugene, to whom I am wont to entrust the
Monarchy during my absence. He will go•
vern the Neapolitan provinces in my name, and
with the same powers which I exercised myself,
and which I had delegated to the illustrious states-
man who withdraws from that honourable office
in consequence of the loss of a dear relative.
Repose the same confidence in Prince Eugene, of
which you gave me such undoubted proofs ; and,
while waiting your representatives in Parliament,
aid him in the task of unification which he comes
to promote by your concord and civic wisdom.
Europe, which for the last two years has been
viewing with astonishment the great facts which
are being accomplished in Italy, will learn from
your conduct that the Neapolitan provinces, if they
entered late into the society of their liberated sisters,
are not on that account less ardent in their firm
resolve to see our common country united.—Turin,

TWENTY-FIFTH REPORT of the UNION
BANK of LONDON.
At a Half-yearly Meeting of the Proprietors, held at the
Court-room of the Banking-house,2, Princes-street, Mansion
House, on Wednesday, the 16th of January, 1861,

P. NORTHALL LAURIE, Esq., in the Chair,

The following Report was read by the Secretary :
The Directors have the pleasure of reporting that the net
profits of the Bank for the six months ending 31st December
last, being the first half of this Bank's financial year, after
payment of all charges, and including the sum of £69,855 9s.
for interest paid and due to customers on their Current and
Deposit Accounts, and making ample provision for all bad and
doubtful debts, amount to £63,063 19s. Bd., which, with the
sum of £3,406 18s. 4d., brought forward from the 30th of June
last, leaves for appropriation £.66,:17.

The Directors now declare a dividend of 12s. per share, clear
of Income-tax, for the six months ending 21st December last,
amounting to the sum of £36,000, which will leave a balance
of £30,470 18s. of undivided profit to be carried forward.
The Directors greatly regret that W. Scott Binny, Esq., has
been obliged, by impaired health, to resign his seat in the
direction ; and in accordance with the provisions of the Deed
of Settlement, they have elected John Gilchrist, Esq., a duly
qualified Proprietor, to supply the vacancy.

THAMES.

IMPUDENT ROBEERY.—John Thomas, aged 17, of N..
5, Nightingale-lane, Limehouse, and described as a thief,
was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing two
pots of jam, value Is. 5d., from inside the shop of Mr. John
Charles Winn, No. 23, Archer-terrace, East India-road,
Limehouse.

Frederick Williamson, errand boy to Mr. Stewart, next
door to Mr. Winn, said that last night about 6 o'clock, the
prisoner opened Mr. Winn's shop door, and put his hand
round the door post and took two jars of jam from the win-
dow, and put them under his coat and walkod away with
them. There was another man with the prisoner, and he
gave one of the jars to him. He informed Mr. Winn of the
robbery, and the prisoner was taken into custody. The
other man run away.

The prisoner pleaded guilty, and a police constable said
he had been in custody several times.
Mr. Selfe sentenced the prisoner to three months' impri-
sonment and hard labour.

The Opinione complains strongly of the careless-
ness of the telegraph officials at Naples. When a telegram
is only kept two or three days, the parties interested may
consider themselves fortunate, for despatches generally ar-
rive a week or more after date. The Opinione quotes an
instance of a telegram which was delivered at the telegraph
office on the 4th,,and only arrived at Tulin on the 12th ; so
that the voyage to Naples and back might have been per-
formed twice in the same time.

The journal G las, founded by the Polish nobility
at Lemberg, presents a singular division of its matter.
Under the head of " Interior" it gives communications and
letters from Lemberg, Cracow, Warsaw, Kiew, Posen, and
the whole of Russian Poland. The accounts from Vienna,
on the contrary, are ranged under the head of " Foreign
News," with those from Paris, London, Berlin, &c. It ap-
pears that this arrangement of the Gallician organ has been
noticed by the representatives of Prussia and Russia at
Vienna, who have spoken to Count de Rechberg on the
subject.

Let the Southern idea be carried out, and before
long the whites will stand amongst the negroes scarcely as
thousands amongst millions. The negro population will
be enormous—the white population, as fortunes become
more and more concentrated into a few hands, will propor-
tionably decrease. To be sure, we hold British India upon
such terms ; but commercially speaking, that is not the
most profitable speculation we have taken in hand. It may
be added that, were we to attempt to govern India in such
a spirit, one of two results would surely follow—our expul-
sion within the next twenty years, or the bankruptcy of the
inotber-cowatry,—Once a iVe4.

NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, resulting
from pernicious habits contracted in Youth, excesses in Man-
hood, or residence in Tropical Climates. With Cases and En-
gravings from Life, representing the various Organs in
Health and Disease.

The extensive circulation of this work may be attributed in
great measure to the feet that the Author is the only duly
qualified and legally registered Practitioner who for 20
years has made the Diseases arising usually from.
Imprudence the peculiar objects of his attention. The im-
pediments which so often either prohibit wedlock, or embitter
and render it a state of misery, by disappointing its fondest
hopes and marring its highest objects, are, though varied in
form, closely analogous in reality. The mischiefmay arise in-
nocently, from deleterious influences devolved from the
necessities of position—from circumstances which occurred
years before the sufferers were born, from accident or the in-
fluence of tropical climates, but chiefly from Self-incurred
Afflictions, dating back, in too numerous instances, to a period
long preceding that at which reason could be matured by ex-
perience.
A professional prejudice. which happily is now fast disap-
pearing, though it still lingers with no little obstinacy in
some of the more antiquated medical schools. for a long time
almost ignored the morbid affections comprised under the
general designation " Nervous and Physical Debility," though.
these affections are probably more destructive and widely pre-
valent than any others.
The consequence of so important a department of pathology
being neglected is, that sufferers from the infirmities in
question, virtually repelled from consultation with prac-
titioners of standing and character, are thus liable to fall into
the hands of unqnalified Empirics, sometimes assuming titles
of Physicians and Surgeons, whose names are not to be found
in the Medical Register (whereby they incur serious legal
penalties), whose ignorant meddling with the treatment of
these cases render these disorders a standing reproach to the
medical profession. Those who may have a suspicion
that any of the observations here made have peculiar applica-
tion to themselves, may consider that cases are indeed rare
in which practised science cannot fully realise long-deferred
hopes, remove all causes of mutual reproach, and replace
chronic embitterment by permanent content.
Dr. La'Mert, M.D., Honorary Member of the London Hos-
pita' Medical Society, &c., is the only legally qualified regis-
tered practitioner who, for 20 years, has devoted his attention
to the treatment of these disorders. At home for =sulfa-

COURT OF DIVORCE.

(Before the Lord Ordinary, Mr. Justice Mlles, and Mt
Baron Martin.)
NURSEY V. NURSE? AND TUCKER.

This part-heard case was resumed this morning. On a
former occasion it had been postponed owing to the evidence
with respect to the adultery of Mrs. Nursey not beingsuffl-
ciently strong, and also for the purpose of allowing the
petitioner the opportunity of procuring witnesses to dis-
prove the assertion of the respondent that she had been
treated with neglect.
Louisa Thomas—l am the wife of a painter, and reside
in King-street, New-cut, Lambeth. I know both Mr.
and Mrs. Nursey; I was in their service as servant in the
years 1856-7. Mrs. Nursey used to go oat between three
and four in the afternoon and generally returned home
about eleven or twelve at night. Mr. Nursey used to find
fault with her for doing so. He used to say he did not like.
her goings on. She used to say that she did not care about
that. They frequently quarrelled. She always refused to
stay at home when he wished her.

Mr. Chapman (petitioner's counsel)—Used Mr. Nuraey
Lo remonstrate with his wife about her bad conduct ?
Witness—No, sir. (Laughter.)
Counsel—Well, was he pleased with what she did ?
Witness—No, sir. (Laughter.)

Counsel—Weil, if he neither remonstrated about her
conduct, and was not pleased with it, what used he to do;?

Witness—He used to ask her where she had been to.
She said she didn't chose to tell him; and if ho did not
like it he could go. I have seen her throw a jug and a
glass at Mr. Nursey's head. I once saw her take up a
knife to him and say she would stab him. Mr. Nursey
used to say he could not put up with her b'ad temper and
misconduct.
Counsel—How used Mr. Nursey to treat his wife
Witness—As well as a wife ought to be treated.

The Judge Ordinary—That all depends upon a wife's
conduct. Was he kind to her ?

Witness—Oh, yes ; very. Mr. Nursey left Mrs. Nursey
in 1657. She then took lodgings in Henrietta-street,
Brunswick-square. Mr. Tucker came there. I remained
in the service of Mrs. Nursey. In a short time Mr. Tucker
came and lived with Mrs. Nursey as her husband. They
continued to do so up to the time I left them. This was
in March, 1858. I saw them in 1860. They found out
where I was living, and told me the divorce case was
coming on, and if they found me out they would compel
me to give evidence.
The Judge Ordinary—During all the time you remained
with Mrs. Nursey, how did she live I

Witness—Well, my lord, rather gay. (Laughter.)

The Judge Ordinary—What do you mean by that ?

Witness—Well, ehe used to put on her best clothes.

The Judge Ordinary—Her husband, I suppose, used to
see her in them.

Witness—Oh yes, my lord.

Mr. Webb, an engineering draughtsman, next gave his
evidence. He stated that he was well acquainted with
Mr. Nursey. He was a very regular and industrious man.
The only time he ever know him to be out late at night was
when he was occupied at work.
The Judge Ordinary said the court was perfectly satis-
fied with the evidence, both with respect to the adultery
and the absence of collusion on the part of the husband.
Rule nisi granted accordingly.

The Opinfone complains strongly of the cnreleEs-
ness of the telegraph officials at Naples. When a telegram
is only kept two or three days, the parties interested may,
consider themselves fortunate, for despatches generally ar-
rive a week or more after date. The Opinion quotes an
instance of a telegram which was delivered at the telegraph
office on the 4th,;and only arfived at Turin on the 12th ; so
that the voyage to Naples and back might have been per-
formed twice iXI, the same time.

TILE WEATHER AND THE PARKS•

The weather changed yesterday, and there seems
every probability that the frost has ended for the
present season, for the thermometer at the Royal
Humane Society's receiving-house at Hyde Park,
which on Wednesday was 25 deg., rose at nine
o'clock yesterday morning to 34, being a rise of
9 deg. from the previous day at the same hour.
At noon the mercury stood et 36 deg., being 4 deg; '
above freezing-point. Last night the glass pointed
3 deg. above freezing-point, and the
barometer g
bein
during the .day was 30.34 deg., whereas
the previous day it lindexed 30.21 deg. The wind
was north-east. The weather was returned in the
different parks as being foggy and cloudy.
There were immense sheets of water upon the
ice in the different parks, and the footpaths were
crowded with spectators.

A number of fireworks were discharged last night •
at the Serpentine, not only upon the ice but among
the crowds on the footpaths.
The favourable change of weather in the eastern
counties which took place towards the close of the
week was followed by a fall of snow on Sunday and
a return of temperature almost equal to the former
intensity of frost. Thii continued without any im-
provement until Wednesday evening, when a slight
thaw commenced, and continued until yesterday
afternoon ; but, as the wind still blew from the
north there was every probability of a return of the
frost in the evening. The business of the several
ports is entirely suspended, and most of the rivers
are so blocked up as to enable persons to cross from
side to side and completely to stop all navigation.
The number of unemployed persons wandering
about the streets has increased to a painful extent,
and, notwithstanding the expenditure of many
hundred pounds in the:purchase of bread, soup and
coals, almost unexampled distress prevails.
The weather has become less severe at Ports-
mouth, and it thawed slightly all yesterday, but
the wind was too far in the northward to allow
the thaw to make much progress. The strong
._
winds of the three previous days had subsided.
There was a good deal of fog yesterday.
