THE SIIN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 26. 1861.

right on his side, will overcome the pride and
passion of the Southerners, and induce them
quietly to surrender what they certainly had no
right to seize.

At Cincinnatti, where, as everywhere else, he was
enthusiastically received, he referred to a some-
what recent electioneering speech as expressing
his present views :—" We mean to treat you,"
he said, as near as we possibly can, as WASH-
INGTON, JEFFERSON, and MADDISON treated you.
We mean to leave you alone, and in no way
to interfere with your institutions; to abide by all
and every compromise of the Constitution, and, in
a word, coming back to the original proposition
to treat you so far as degenerate men, if we haVe
degenerated, may, according to the example of
those noble fathers, WASHINGTON, JEFFERSON,
and MADDISON. We mean to remember that you
are as good as we ; that there is no difference
between us, other than the difference of circum-
stances. We mean to recognise and bear in mind
always that you have as good hearts in your
bosoms as other people, or as we claim to have,
and treat you accordingly. Fellow-citizens of
Kentucky ! Friends ! Brethren, may I call you in
my new position. I see no occasion, and feel no
inclination, to retract a word of this. If it shall
not be made good, be assured the fault shall not
be mine."

These remarks, which have great importance
just now, seem to show that Mr. LINCOLN will, on
the one hand, do nothing violent, but that, at the
same time, he will not allow Federal rights to be
trifled with.

HISTORY OF ENGLAND, BY LORD BROUGHAM.
—lt is now known that Lord Brougham has at length
consented to publish, with his name, a second edition of his
unacknowledged work, " History of England under the
House of Lancaster." It is understood that his lordship
has also given a new preface.
A Parliamentary return shows that during the
last 20 years 18 bills have been introduced into the House
of Commons and two into the House of Lords in relation to
churoh-rates. The first was in 1841, by Mr. Easthope and
Mr. Hume. The second was in the following year, by Sir
J. Easthope and Mr. Mark Philips.

THE DEBUSSCOPE.

A German natural philosopher, M. Debus, has invented
a new form of kaleidoscope which may be very useful to
those engaged in the art of designing patterns. The cern-
mon kaleidoscope is a tube enclosing two mirrors inclined
to each other, so as to give a large number of images. One
extremity of this tube is placed in a box, which receives a
number of small objects, transparent or opaque, coloured or
uncoloured ; in the other extremity is a hole through which
the-objects are viewed. The combined images of these
objects form regular figures, which are varied with every
agitation of the tube and each displacement of the ob-
jects. Lately the kaleidoscope was improved so as to
present images of natural objects, dead and living, which
passed under the eyes of the spectator. The kaleidoscope
under both these forms, however, has been only a toy, which
was only occasionally used by the designers of embroidery.
These mirrors of glass are replaced in the debusscope by
two plates of silver, highly polished, placed vertically, so as
to form between them an angle of 45 deg., at the bottom of
a box, which has the form of an elliptical half cylinder. At
the bottom the box has a triangular opening ; in front and
at the top, the opening is half oval. By taking any design,
regular or irregular, and placing it above the triangular
opening of the debusscope, and looking at it through the
upper opening, the most irregular outline appears trans-
formed into a regular and beautiful design. The novelty
of the debusscope is not simply the substitution of a polished
plate for two mirrors, but the arrangement of the apparatus,
the idea of reducing the kaleidoscope to two vertical mirrors,
and the use of a fixed object instead of small moveable ob-
jects. The debusscope may be made of any size. Instead
of placing the mirrors in it at a fixed angle, they may be
made to move round a vertical hinge, so as to obtain at
pleasure any number of images. A graduated arc of a circle
placed horizontally upon the apparatus, enables the obser-
ver to place the mirrors at any angle, and to reproduce any
design. Every change in the apparatus, to the right or
left, backward or forward, produces a new design.

to 60s. The demand for barley was still slow, and un-

PRYSICAL _EDUCATION.

The importance of a larger amount of physical
education, and of less time devoted to purely men-
tal training, is well emphasised by Mr. Edwin
Chadwick in papers contributed to the recent Blue
Books on Education.

Mr. Chadwick states that the present practice of
long hours of teaching is a wide cause of enervation
and predisposition to disease, and induces also habits
of listlessness and dawdling. The half-time system is
found to give nearly, if not quite, as good educa-
tion as the whole time ; and common sense tells us
that a boy who has acquired the same amount of
knowledge in half the time of another boy, must
have obtained a proportionately superior habit of
mental activity. It is this alertness, combined with
the bodily aptitudes, created by drill, that gives the
comparatively stunted boys of the town a prefer-
ence over the strong robust lads from the coast.
Gool schoolmasters say that about three hours a
day are as long as a bright, voluntary attention on
the part of children can be secured, and that
in that period they may really be taught as
much as they can receive ; all beyond the
profitable limit is waste. Hence it is urged
that part of the present long school hours be de-
voted to gymnastic exercises or drill, as part of
the system of education, or that the half-time sys-
tem be more adopted. Drill is very strongly re-
commended by many eminent men, who give
their testimony in these papers. It improves
the health, the carriage, the manners, even the
character ; sharpens the attention, gives habits
of obedience, promptness, regularity, and self-
restraint. " I should consider a youth of double
value," says Mr. Whitworth, " who has had
the training of the nature of a drill ; he attends
to commands ; he keeps everything he has to do
with in a high state of cleanliness ; defects are,
corrected, and special qualifications brought out.'
" We find the drilled men very superior," says Mr.
Fairbairn. " They are constantly in readiness for
the protection of the country," writes Lieut.-Gen.
,
Shaw Kennedy. "Men are frequently required,,
says Mr. R. Rawlinson, C.E., " to use their strength
in concert, for which they must have confidence in
one another. I have frequently seen trained men
weed out unskilled men where heavy lifting Las
been required, because they dare not risk the dan-
ger arising from unskilled strength."

ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA;
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. rickford 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 squally 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-
minliffeboter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pick-ford ;
but the moderate price at which the brochure' is sold, places
it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—

THE COCA PLANT.

We, some months ago, gave a short account of
thealalthough

it
tn has Coca,an stating
inebriating
and stupefying effect, yet in moderate doses it braces
the system, and will enable a man to work or walk
for two or three days without food. The Incas bad
the monopoly of this plant, and used to distribute
it as a favour to their
.nobility and the foreign
chiefs who voluntarily acknowledged their power.
The Spanish conquerors were too keen to allow
such a monopoly to slip out of their hands, and
favoured
the introduction of the drug among the
people, and among the labourers in the mines. Dr.
Gosse, of Geneva, lately read some curious statis-
tical details about this plant, at a sitting of the
Societe d'Acclimatation. In the 16th century,
coca plantations, yielding an annual income of
from 2,),000fr. to 200,000 fr., were not rare. The
mines of Potosi, which alone absorbed from
90,000 to 100,000 bales of 26 livres each, thus
produced a net annual revenue of 2,500,000 fr.
In the following centuries the home trade in coca
diminished for different reasons ; but about 1794 it
had again become flourishing, and annually pro-
duced 15,000,000 f.; in 1831, it rose to 15,500,000 f.
Dr. Gosse thence concludes that the plant must
really possess some intrinsic property, and not
a mere imaginative value. He mentions its
good effects in rheumatic and muscular af-
fections, as also as a prophylactic against
marshy. emanations, &c. It has been only
lately introduced into Europe, and chemical
analysis has extracted a new alkali from it, called
Cocaine. The taste of the leavesresetmhabtlesthat
of tea. Dr. Gosse adds in his paper
thera-
peutic experiments have been commenced with
this drug at the lunatic asylum of Bicietr.e.
Fahr,;e
further proposes that attempts be made to accli-
matise the plant. The mean temperature to which
it is exposed in its own country is 59 dg
it will not resist frost, and dry weather is injurious
to it. The soil on which it grows is siliceous, clayey,
and volcanic, but generally light, Dr. Gosse thinks
it would thrive in the West Indies,
Guiana, the dis-
trict of Yemen in Arabia, the siliceous and well-
watered soil of Algeria, and the Italian and Spanish
coasts of the Mediterranean,

THE ARMY.

The 32d Light Infantry, at present stationed in
the camp at Aldershott, is under orders to proceed
to Plymouth, and the Ist battalion, 10th Regiment,
and 2d battalion, 25th Regiment, will also leave
Aldershott for Shorncliffc. The strength of the
camp at Aldershott has been considerably reduced
during the last few days, for, in addition to the
movements of troops reported last week in The Sun,
the sth Lancers have left for Kensington and
Hampton Court, under the command of Capts. Per-
ing and Massey; the 18th Hussars, under the com-
mand of Lieut.-Col. Knox, have left for Brighton
(with the exception of one squadron, which has
proceeded to Shorncliffe) ; the 2d Life Guards, under
the command of Col. Martyn, have left for Wind-
sor Royal Horse Artillery,
d
Major Tupper and Capt.
uner and
the Acommand and B batteries
of
Paget, and No. 11 Depot Battery, Royal Artillery,
under the command of Major Davis, have left for
WoolwiCh. On the other hand, the 61st Regi-
ment is expected to arrive in camp in a few
days. No. '2 Battery, Bth Brigade, Royal Artil-
lery, under the command of Capt. Elgee, was to
have left Aldershott last week for Dublin, and
actually proceeded as far as Basingstoke on its
way to Bristol. At Basingstoke, however, the de-
parture of the battery was countermanded, and it
accordingly returned to the camp. The reason
assigned for this change of arrangements is that, in
consequence of her Majesty's approaching visit to
Ireland, no artillery will be removed from the
Curragh Camp for the present, although several
movements are contemplated after the Royal re-
view has taken place.
The Megiera arrived at Portsmouth yesterday
morning from Plymouth, with officers and men of
the 61st Regiment, who were disembarked from the

CHARGE OF FORGERY AGAINST A CLERGYMAN.

James Roe, 42, a clergyman, was indicted for feloniously
Forging an order for £6,000, with intent to defraud.

The facts of this case have already appeared in the The
Sun during the examination of the prisoner at the Bow-
street police-court. It will be recollected that the Rev. J.
Roe, the prisoner,was the nephew of Mr. E.Roe who had car-
ried on business in Macclesfield, and realised a fortune. The
prisoner anticipated that he would have been appointed re-
siduary legatee under the will of Mr. Roe, but that turned
out not to be the case, and he was simply left £5OO. The
will was made on the 26th of December, 1858, but a codicil
was added on the 30th, and on the Ist of January, 1859, he
died. The prisoner expressed his disappointment at the
directions of the document, and lodged a caveat in the pro
per office for the purpose of disputing the validity of the
will. After some correspondence the caveat was withdrawn
by agreement with the prisoner, but afterwards another party,
at the instance of the prisoner, filed a petition disputing
the will, and the cause was tried at Chester in April, 1860.
The petition did not succeed, and it was suggested that the
prisoner having failed to become possessed of a conside-
rable part of the property of the testator, devised a scheme
to obtain the sum of £6,000 out of it. The will contained
a direction to pay all outstanding cheques at the
time of his death, and the prisoner went to the attorneys,
Messrs. Salmon and Conte, and told them that he had dis-
covered, by accident, a cheque for £6,000 drawn by the testa-
tor in his favour a day prior to his death, and he accounted
for the cheque not being presented until the 6th Jane, by the
circumstance that, as he had to make periodical visits to
Bath and Macclesfield, the letter containing the cheque had
been by some means overlooked. The payment was dis-
puted, and proceedings in Chancery were taken to recover
the amount, when circumstances arose which tended to show
that the cheque was a forgery, and the present trial arose
out of those proceedings. The letter enclosing the cheque,
the envelope, and the post marks thereon, were also alleged
to be forgeries.
(The case was not concluded when we went to press.)

NEW COURT.
(Before Commissioner Kerr.)
CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT.

Thomas Stamford, clerk, 43, who was acquitted yester-
day on the charge of embezzling and stealing several sums
of money, the property of the South-Western Railway
Company, was again placed at the bar this morning on a
similar indictment.

The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sentenced
to 12 months' imprisonment.

FIRE BRANCH.

, "The Fire Branch has certain y shown no exhaustion dur-
ing the year 1860 of that, impetus which had previously
brought it to a position of the first magnitude among the
Insurance Companies of the United Kingdom. The Fire
Premiums in 1859 had advanced to the sum of £228,3H 7s. 3d.
In 1860 the amount of Fire Premiums has arrived at a sum of
£212,977195. Ild., showing an increase of £34,663 12s. Bd., ex-
ceeding the large advance of the preceding year, so that in
two years the Fire' Revenue .of the Company has been en-
h 'laced by the enormous sum of £66,829175. sd.
" The Parliamentary Report of Returns of Duty paid to
Government for the year-4860-exhibitg 'the augmentation of
the business in a more prominent way, as it afforas the means
of comparison with other Companies. The Proprietors will
be ratified to learn that the increase of Duty paid hy the
Royal in the last year is more than double that of any other
Company, either London or Provincial, whilst only one of
those Companies even approaches to 50 per cent. of the ad-

wards of 30 per cent. of the total advance of the other 26 offices
