CONSULTED on the Functional Derangements of the
Nervous and Reproductive System, daily at his residence,

Dr. La'Mert is the only qualified practitioner on the
Medial Resist r who has exclusively devoted his atten-
tion to the treatment of those physical infirmities which
militate against the liapp ness of Married Life, or prevent
the contraction of enir'gements which constitute the most
cherished objects of existence.

Dr. La')lert's Treatise on "Self-preservation," published
by Mann,. bookseller, 19, Cornhill, price Is , post free for 13,
or sealed, for 20 stamps, contains much useful information
regarding the moral, social, and physical obligations of mar-
riage, with, simple and efficacious instructions for the resto-
ration of health, vigour, aid all ihe dignified prerogatives of
Manhood, when lost or impaired by pernicious habits or
excess. The work will be found totally free from those ex-
cg,,erated and alarming statements contained in the host of
rretended medical publications by unqualified persons, pro-
fessing to treat on these important subjects.

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 29th ult. state that
the Bishop of Cuerca, in whose diocese Loja is
situated, had sent an address to the Queen, de
nouncing the insurrection in that term, and pro-
testing his devotedness to her Majesty. The judges,
rnunicipalities;and inhabitants of numerous towns
had also forwarded similar addresses. At Cordova
the heat was so intense that it was impossible for
people to leave their houses even in the evening.
The Constitutional affirms positively that there is
no truth in the statement that the Government
intends to interdict the circulation in Spain of
foreign journals hostile to its policy.

A MAN KILLED BY A MAD BULLOCK.—Last even-
ing information was forwarded to Mr. Wakley, the coroner
for West Middlesex, of the death of a man who had been
gored and trampled on by an infuriated bullock near the
New Cattle-market. The animal, it appeared, had been
hunted and driven about, until at length, breaking away
from its bondage, it ran through the immediate neighbour-
hood, followed by an immense congregation, until it at
length furiously and suddenly attacked a man who was
passing by, and knocked him down and trampled on him.
The animal then left the unfortunate victim of its rage,
dashing and charging at several other persons, who only
escaped a similar fate by making a precipitate retreat into
the nearest sheltering places. The beast eventually, having
somewhat spent its fury, ran into an unfinished building as
a place of refuge, where, after much difficulty, it was se-
cured. The injured man, in the meantime, was conveyed
to the Great Northern Hospital, King's-cross, where Air.
Wallis, house-surgeon, rendered every assistance that.

TUE PAPER DUTY RE.P.RAL.

A deputation emanating from the Press Associa-
tion for the Repeal of the Paper Duty waited upon
Mr. Milner Gibson, M.P., yesterday forenoon, at
residence, in Hyde-park-place, to present an address
thanking him for the exertions he had made to
obtain the repeal of the duty. Among the deputa-
tion were Mr. R. Chambers, Mr. S. Lucas, Mr. E•
Levy, Mr. J. Francis, Mr. T. Hunt, Mr. D. DT.
Chambers, Mr. T. Sanderson, Mr. W. H. Ashurst,
Mr. J. Whitaker, Mr. Partridge, &c.
Mr. ROBERT CHAMBERS, having introduced the
deputation, said—Mr. Milner Gibson, I appear be-
fore you at the head of a deputation of the News-
paper and Periodical Press Society, for the purpose
of presenting to you a resolution at which they
lately arrived.

The address, which was elegantly engraved 00
vellum, having been read and presented,
Mr. GIBSON, in reply, said it was very gratifying
to him to receive that flattering mark of approval
of the efforts he had made in the cause. But the
fact was, the repeal of the paper tax would never
have bees carried if it had not been supported by
the best minds of the liberal party in this country-
Many persons no doubt looked with indifference ort
the question, but those who carefully weighed it
came to the conc,usion that the fiscal burdens on the
press produced the worst moral ( ffects. The men'
who took those views were generally the leaders of,
opinion, and gradually among the liberal section a
the commuJity there was formed a sufficient amoutA
of public feeling in favour of the repeal, and this
reeling, with which the Government sympathisedo
had brought about the result.
The deputation then retired, and proceeded t°
The residence of Mr. Eivart, M.P., iu Cambridge'
square- for the purpose of presenting an address t°
that gentleman. Mr. Thornton Hunt introduced
the deputation.

The-address acknowledged the great efforts Mr'
Ewart had made to secure the freedom of the press,
nd thanked him warmly for having made them• ,
In reply, Mr. EWART acknowledged the oomph•
ment iu suitable terms.

EXTRAORDINARY OUTRAGE.

A very extraordinary matter is at present occupying the
attention of the police. On the 31st ultimo a gentleman
named M'Kenzie, resident at Pimlico, received a letter re-
questing an interview to the writer,'" Agnes Roney," at a
house in Herbert-street, New North-road. Having a
knowledge of this person from a previous introduction at
Madrid, Mr. M'Kenzie duly altendei the appointment, and
met the young woman. While conversing with her two
men named Emil Schelk and Carl Hemmel, whom he had
also known at Madrid, suddenly entered the apartment,
and without uttering a word seized him by the throat and
wrists, Schelk then observing, " I have an account to settle
with you, and will do it now, by murdering you." Mr.
M'Kenzie, almost strangled by the united efforts of the
men, was fast losing consciousness, when the woman Roney
interfered, saying, " Don't," or " You shall not murder the
man," and it would appear that this induced them to re-
lease him; on finding that he was thus enthralled he
dashed at Schelk and succeeded in getting him on the
around ; this, however, was scarcely accomplished when
Hemmel made a furious attack upon him, gst the best of
the struggle, flung him heavily, knelt on his chest, and
tightly grasped his throat. The now almost overpowered
gentleman yet continued at intervals to call "Murder" and
" Police," upon which Schelk said, " Stop his n'ise,"
"Choke him." A towel, or some such article, was partly
thrust into his mouth ; then there was a call for a rope to
hang him. This was brought in by the woman Roney,
who in some way again used her influence, for the cord
was tightened round his legs and arms instead of his
throat, and having been thus secured, ho was carried into
an adjoining apartment. The threats to murder him if he
made the slightest outcry, er did not comply with all that
would be required of him, were frequently repeated—the
men holding at the same time heavy bludgeons. There
was then a brief consultation; some papers were
brought and placed on a bed, which Mr. M'Kenzie was
required to sign, and under fear of his life did so—
his right hand being relieved for that purpose, while the
other was secured to his leg; after which all three decamped,
taking the documents, whatever they were, with them. This
outrage was stated to have lasted from shortly after 1 o'clock
midday until 20 minutes past 5, when by the assistance of
a girl who entered the room Mr. M'Kenzie was enabled to
escape. Information of what had occurred was subsequently
communicated to the police, and it has been ascertained by
Edes, a warrant aficer of the N division, that the three
persons named had not since been seen in the neighbourhood,
that the woman lodged in the house, and on the arrival of
Mr. APKenzie sent for the men, who came in a cab shortly
afterwards ; also that she procured a rope from the yard.
attached to the premises, but not any outcry was heard. It
is understood that Mr. Humphreys has procured a warrant
for the parties mentioned, who are Germans.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—In consequence of a letter received by me
from General Garibaldi, dated " Caprera, January
21st, 1861," stating his fervent approval of the
motion I purposed to bring before the Court of
Common Council next Thursday (and of which
notice has been given), and also of his intention to
visit England at an early date, at the same time
intimating his inability at present to indicate the
precise period—l think it advisable, therefore, to
postpone my motion until such time as the hero,
planting his foot on our "shores of freedom," shall
in person thank, as he desires to do, our nation, for
the moral and material support which has been
given to the Italian cause.
I am, sir, yours truly,
JOHN RICHARDSON.

ANCIENT LEATHER.—In the Leather Cloth Com-
pany's Galleries in Cannon-street West there are exhibiting
some some very beautiful imitations of ancient leather,
which are highly deserving of attention. Setting aside the
fact that the fashion and feeling of society are decidedly
in favour of the revival of many of the habits of our fore-
fathers, these leathers, as a substitute for paper hangings,
are sinzularly adapted by their damp-excluding qualities
for the lining of our rooms. Elegant in their designs and
requiring no poisonous fungi-engendering paste, or other
noxious adhesive compounds,
for their suspension,
simply secured by tacks through a gold or other bead but
beading,
they may be removed at pleasure, Tither to another abode,
or from room to room. Several public buildings and
wealthy residences have already the benefit of this desirable
an
more particularly in
and decorative introduction, and ere long we trust its use
will be

deserved, whatever her errors as a queen. The
sketch of her in question is one of the best of these
" Notes" that has appeared for some time. The
author, although his quotations are frequent, has
depended less entirely on them than is usual with
him, and has connected them with some able origi-
nal writing. A poem by W. C. Kent shows us a
" Stereoscopic Glimpse" of the second of our great
English poets, •Edmund Spenser, at Kilcoman,
while the troop of busy actors in the gorgeous
pageant cf the " Peery Quene" flit before his
mental vision. "East Lynne" is continued and
chronicles many changes. Mr. Carlyle marries
Barbara Hare, and this time dismisses the tyranni-
cal Miss Corny from his establishment. The return
of Lady Isabel under an assumed name to the
house that was once her own is a painful
and un pleasing incident. The legend of
the " Curse of Walfheimberg" •is concluded.
It is a gloomy and repulsive legend. There is an
interesting paper on the Temple Mount at Jeru-
salem, with an account of a recent visit to the
Mosque of Omar. " A Summer in Sylt" gives
us an account of a wild and little known region on
the German coast. Dr. Rodenberg, the author of
the book of travels which is the subject of the
article, has vitited in turn all those islands on
which the sea is regularly encroaching. Sylt, the
island in question, is the most advanced part of
Germany. It was torn away from the continent
many ages since by the fury of the sea, which rages
with terrific force on that coast. Since then its
incursions have been gradually encroaching on the
little territory, despite the efforts of the hardy people,
who seek to stop the movement of the sand hills by
planting them with grasses, whose tough roots
they hope will keep the drifting sand together.
The women, to whom this arduous duty is
entrusted during the absence of the men on that
treacherous sea, which often robs them of life as
well as land, lie out on these " dunes " in the
stormy autumn evenings planting and sowing. Dr.
Rodenberg heard of more than one who perished
from the excessive exertion necessitated by clam-
bering the shifting sand heaps and facing the
driving wind. But in spite of all these efforts
the devastation goes on. " Often as you walk
along the strand, your foot is caught in black,
thick, peat-like masses, half buried in the sand.
They are the remains of the Sylt forests. Where
we now walk on sand by the seashore noble trees
once stood ; farther oat, where the, sea is now
breaking in foam, once was a great city, in which
rich merchants dwelt. But the sea has swallowed
this city and this forest, and we find ourselves on
a desert un wooded island, on which are three or
four wretched villages, and before and behind, and
right and left, is the sea." There is also a paper
on the New Expedition to the Source of the Nile,
which considers the present state of that much
vexed question, and estimates the probabilities of
success in the various directions suggested.

THE WESTMINSTER ABBEY SPECIAL SERVICES.—
Yesterday evening there was an overwhelming congrega-
tion in the nave of Westminster Abbey, an announcement
having been made that the sermon would be preached by
the Bishop of St. Andrew's (Dr. Charles Wordsworth),
whose name has of late been so prominently before the pub-
lic in connection with the affairs of the Episcopal Church
in Scotland. Full choral service was performed, the prayers
being said by the Rev. John Antrobus, M.A., one of the
Minor Canons of the cathedral. The Bishop selected for
his text the 7th chapter of the Acts of the Apostles, yerse
60—" And when he had said this be fell asleep." The
right rev. prelate detailed the circumstances connected with
the life and death of St. Stephen, the first martyr of the
Christian church, and proceeded with great force to draw
from them practical lessons in reference to the life and
death of Christians in all ages of the world. His sermon
was listened to throughout with marked attention, and
evidently made a deep impression upon the congregation,
The sermon next Sunday evening will be preached by the
Rev. Dr. Edward Meyrick Goulburn, prebendary of St.
Paul's Cathedral, and incumbent of St. John's Church,
Paddington.

THAMES.

THE SHOULDER OP Mt TroN.—A poor woman came be-
fore Mr. Yardley and said she had purchased a shoulder
of mutton on Saturday night for her Sunday's dinner. It
weighed 411bs. She sent it to the baker yesterday, and
after it was baked it weighed only 21bs. She must have
been cheated somehow, and wanted redress.
Mr. Yardley—My good woman, I don't see how I oan
afford you any redress or say who is to blame, the butcher
or the baker. The butcher might have given short weight,
or ths baker might have changed your shoulder of mutton
for a smaller one ; above all, it might have been the fault
of the farmer. It is probable he fed his sheep on oil cake,
and there was no solidity in the meat you purchased of the
butcher.

The woman said she gave 38, for the shoulder of mutton,
and all it produced was 2 lbs. of meat for herself, husband,
and children.

Xr. Yardley—lt is a case in which I cannot interfere.
You must use your eyes and your judgment, and, above
all, weigh your meat after you take it from the butcher
when you go to market again.

CtRIOI76 CASE OP UTTERING BASE COlN.—Robert
Bradley, a shabbily dressed youth, was brought before Mr.
Yardley, charged with uttering a counterfeit shilling.
John Ridgill, a corn-dealer, in Tartal-street, Stepney,
said the prisoner bought a halfpennyworth of bird-seed of
him on Saturday night, and tendered a shilling in payment.
Ho gave the prisoner a sixpence and 53d. in change. After
the prisoner left the shop he discovered the shilling to be a
bad one. He went after the prisoner, and overtook him
near the New Globe, in the Mile-end-road. He charged
the prisoner with passing a bad shilling. The prisoner
said, "Have I ; you have given me a bad sixpence." He
gave the prisoner into custody. A bad sixpence was taken
from the prisoner's hand and Sid. from his pocket.
Mr. Yardley—Did you give him the bad sixpence ?
Mr. Ridgill—l don't know whether I did or not. I
might have done so. _ _ .

Mr. Yardley—And he might unknowingly have given
you the base shilling. Ho may be equally as honest as you.
He is discharged.

SEEDS.

Linsseed is very dull, and prices have fallen 34 per
quarter. Rape rules next to nominal in value, and canary
attracts but few buyers, even at the low rates now current.
All other seeds are a slow sale. Cakes are much less active,
and 2$ 6d per ton. cheaper.

THAMES.

THE SHOULDER OF MUTTON.—A poor woman came be-
fore Mr, Yardley and said she had purchased a shoulder
of mutton on Saturday night for her Sunday's dinner. It
weighed 411bs. She sent it to the baker yesterday, and
after it was baked it weighed only 21bs. She must have
been cheated s ,meb.ow, and wanted redress.

M. Yardley—My good woman, I don't see how I can
afford you any redress or say who is to blame, the butcher
or the baker. The butcher might have given short weight,
or the baker might have changed your shoulder of mutton
for a smaller one ; above all, it might have been the fault
of the farmer. It is probable he fed his sheep on oil cake,
and there was no solidity in the meat you purchased of the
butcher.

The woman said she gave 3s. for the shoulder of mutton,
and all it produced was 2 lbs. of meat for herself, husband,
and children.

Mr. Yardley—lt is a case in which I cannot interfere.
You must use your eyes and your judgment, and, above
all, weigh your meat after you take it from the butcher
when you go to market again.

CURIOUS CASE OT UTTERING BASE COlN.—Robert
Bradley, a shabbily dressed youth, was brought before Mr.
Yardley, charged with uttering a counterfeit shilling.
John Ridgill, a corn-dealer, in Tartal-street, Stepney,
said the prisoner bought a halfpennyworth of bird-seed of
hint on Saturday night, and tendered a shilling in payment.
He gave the prisoner a sixpence and 51d. in change. After
the prisoner loft the shop he discovered the shilling to be a
bad one. He went after the prisoner, and overtook hira
near the New Globe, in the Mile-end-road. He charged
the prisoner with passing a bad shilling. The prisoner
said, "Have I ; you have given mo a bad sixpence." Ho
gave the prisoner into custody. A bad sixpence was taken
from the prisoner's hand and Sid. from his pocket.
Mr. Yardley—Did you give him the bad sixpence ?
Mr. Ridgill—l don't know whether I did or not. I
might have done so.

Mr. Yardley—And he might unknowingly have given
you the base shilling. He may be equally as honest as you.
He is discharged.

There was only a moderate supply of foreign stock on
offer here to-day. On the whole the demand for it ruled
steady, at full quotations.

The arrivals of beasts, fresh up from our grazing dis-
tricts, were seasonably good, and in fair average condition.
Although the attsndance of buyers was rather on the in-
crease, the demand for nearly all breeds ruled inactive, at
Thursday's decline in the quotations. A few very superior
Scots and crosses realized 55., but the general tap figure for
beef was 4s, 10d. per 81bs.

From the Eastern districts we received 1,800 Scots, &c. ;
from the North, 700 short horns ; from other parts of Eng-
land, 800 various breeds; and, from Scotland, 170 Scots
and crosses.

There was only a moderate supply of sheep in the pens
but the quality of most breeds was tolerably good. The
mutton trade ruled steady, and last week's currency was
well supported. The best old Downs realized 6s. per
81bs.

Calves—the show of which was limited--moved off
freely, at Thursday's improvement in value. The best
veal was worth 55. Bd. per 81bs.'
We wore fairly supplied with pigs, which changed hands
slowly, at about last week's quotations.

THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSSMITIPS
" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in busi-
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."

LITERA7URE.

Elements of the German Langzuzge. By Friedrich
Otto Froembling ; Ist part. D. Nutt, Strand,

1860.
German has become of late years, and deservedly,
a part of good education. Besides its obvious uses,
it shares with Latin, and more than equally, in the
formation of our language; in so far at least that
the greater part of its words have their etymolo-
logical representatives in English. Its claims are
great, therefore, independently of purely literary,
commercial, or travelling uses. Hence the large
number of elementary books for teaching it. Mr.
Froembling's little work is the result of experience
of the practical wants of children who receive two
or three lessons a week in German. It will be a
great help to both teacher and taught in the first
essential steps. It gives the child sufficient, but
not too much, for him to master thoroughly
each time, and simplicity is studied throughout.
As parts are to follow for more advanced classes, in
which minuter details will be given, in this part
special care seems to be taken not to distract the
child's attention from what is most necessary to be
thoroughly graven on the memory. We sincerely
commend this first part as practical, simple, and
well adapted to beginmers.

ALLEGED FORGERY BY A CLERGYMAN.—An ap-
plication, we understand, has been made to the East Riding
magistrates sitting in petty sessions at Bridlington, for a
warrant against a clergyman residing in the neighbourhood
on the charge of forgery. The application was to be heard
by adjournment yesterday, and we have not heard the
result. The facts are not yet known, but the case is one
which is likely to create considerable interest throughout
the county,—,Las .11terafry.
