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

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 Hypochronelriasis.

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFOUD,

" 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 he 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-
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."—

1-11 t. KAHN on MARRIAGE.— A new and
entirely re-written Edition (the 45th) of this celebrated
Treatise, with new Steel Plates, Woodcuts, &c., is now ready.
The object of the work is not to maintain any particular
hypothesis, but to enable every one to understand for himself
the structure and functions of the organs concerned in the
fulfilment of the physical obligations of the married state;
to acquaint him with the consequences arising from excesses;
to prevent unnecessary misapprehension from unfounded
fears, and to indicate, when those fears are well founded, the
means of speedy relief. The work is not crowded with the
technicalities of ordinary professional books, nor does it pre-
sent the crudeness which characterises the so-called d popular
works" on the subject.

COUNTRY MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL—FEB. 22.
There was an average attendance of town and country
trade at this morning's market, and we had a limited sale
for wheat, which may be quoted at ld to 2d per cental
decline on Tuesday's rates. Flour was also a slow eale, at
6d per sack and barrel lower. Indian corn was inmoderate
request, at 37s Od per 4801bs for best mixed American, and
38s 6d to 39s for white. Oats and oatmeal were dull of
sale, and the latter 3d per load lower. Barley, beans, and
peas at about the currencies of last market day.

WAKEFIELD—FEB. 22.
The supplies of grain here this week were moderate.
To-day it is still difficult to make progress in sales, except
for fine old English wheat. For barley the demand is not
active, and at former values. In beans, oats, and shelling
there is no alteration to note.

the fact of consumers having purchased freely last week.
There have been some sales of rum on a small scale, at
prices about the same as those of this day se'nnight.

C4PECTACLES.-SIGHT AND HEARING.-
DEAFNESS.—A newly-Invented instrument for ex-
treme cases of deafness, called the SOUND MAGNIFIER,
Organic Vibrator, and Invisible Voice Conductor. It fits so
into the ear as not to be in the least perceptible ; the unplea-
sant sensation of singing noises in the head is entirely re-
moved. It affords instant relief to deaf persons, and enables
them to hear distinctly at Church and at public assemblies.
Every other kind of hearing instruments. Messrs. SOLO-
MONS have invented spectacle lenses of the greatest trans-
parent power. The valuable advantage derived from their
invention is, that vision becomes preserved and strengthened ;
very aged persons are enabled to employ their sight at the
most minute occupation, can see with these lenses of a much
less magnifying power, and they do not require the frequent
changes to the dangerous effects of further powerful assist-
ance.-3A, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly, opposite the York

THE LATE GALE.—The anemometer at Lloyd's
marked 36 pounds pressure on the square foot on Thursday
evening, at half-past six o'clock. As this is the heaviest
gale recorded here for vary many years, it will be interest-
ing to see the above result compared with the notes of
observers at different stations.

The bar silver by the West India steamer has
been disposed of at 61d. per ounce, showing a decline of
d. from the previous price. The falling off in the demand
for India, owing to the high rate of money here, is the
cause of this reduction,

MINISTERIAL REPLY.

Lord J. RUSSELL—I quite agree with the hon. gen-
tleman who has just spoken, that it is the duty of the Exe-
cutive Government to consider the proposals made by coma
mittees of the house with regard to branches of the Execu-
tive service of the State. Indeed, I cannot see how the
Executive Government could carry into effect the recom-
mendations of a committee without going into them in
detail, and seeing if they would harmonise with the public
service. The report of the committee is a very
valuable report. Several recommendations had been
made, the spirit of which has been always kept in view by
the Executive Government, and which had been carried
into effect from time to time. At the same time, however,
it would be impossible for the Executive Government,with
a due regard to duty, and without going into matters of
detail, to adopt at once recommendations which might im-
pose a considerable charge upon the public revenue. We
find in consequence of the report of the committee that
Lord Malmesbury very soon after the report of the commit-
tee stated to the Treasury that he had framed a scheme by
which the condition of many of the consuls would bo improved
—that in many important places the salaries of consuls were
insufficient and *tight to bo increased, but he added that
the increase would amount to £12,000 a year, and the noble
lord yery properly thought it his duty to consider the pro-
position in detail in contemplation of such a large increase.
When I succeeded to office I asked several official gentle-
men, and especially Lord Wodehouse, the Under Secretary
of State, their opinion with regard to the recommendations
made by the committee. Ono of those recommendations
was that consuls in the Levant should be British subjects.
That recommendation we have endeavoured to carry out.
(Hear.) There was another recommendation which would
entail a very considerable burden on the country, namely,
that consuls should not trade. I admit that the objection
made by the committee on this point had weight, but there
are sunny places where there is very little British trade.
There you can get merchants of great respectability, but if
you give them £5OO, £6OO, or £7OO a year to perform consu-
lar duties you pay a considerable salary for very little ser-
vice. If, on the other hand, you offer £l5O or £2OO a year,
you would not find any person of respectability to accept the
terms. On the other hand you will find men engaged in trade,
men of the highest respectability, and who mix in the best
society of the town, who would accept the smaller sum, Such

DENMARK.

The Dagbladet of the 19th inst. publishes the
following :
"An order was issued on the 15th inst. by the
Minister of Marine, designating the officers who,
in case of hostilities, are to take the command of the
ships of war, and giving directions for the disposal
of the gunboats destined to blockade the enemy's
ports or to be stationed on the eastern or western
coast of the peninsula of Jutland.
" The Minister of War is also showing great
activity. The services of 120 officers on the reserved
list have been accepted."
Respecting the rumoured difference of opinion in
the Ministry, the Dagbladet says :
" It is natural that the gravity of the moment
should give rise to debates in the Ministerial
Council, and that on certain points there may be a
difference of opinion, but there has been no diffe-
rence on principles, and the most perfect union pre-
vails now among the members on the means to be
adopted to meet the invasion of the Confederation.
A Cabinet Council will be held to-day, in which
the plans of the Ministry will be submitted to the
King for his decision."

ARKANSAS.

A despatch to the Memphis Enquirer, from Little Rock,
Arkansas, says the United States troops at the outposts of
the western frontier of the State, and in the Indian Nation,
have all been recalled from winter quarters to reinforce the
garrison at Fort Smyth and the United States arsenal in
Little Rock. The arsenal is one of the richest depositories
of military stores in the United States, and this is supposed
to be the ultimate destination of all the troops ordered from
the frontier.

ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRIICEA ;
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 llypochrondriasis.
Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.
" 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 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 11"pon the contents of the preli-
minary chapter, th%t we bt;ve scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the, subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ;
but the mode;atte price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places
it within 4:ne reach of every one interested in the matter."—

UNION SENTIMENTS IN TEXAS.

A correspondent from Austin, Texas, writes that although
secession is rampant inTexas, yet there is a strong, conser-
vative, Union-loving sentiment there, which, if properly
nurtured, will exercise considerable influence. The Gover-
nor of Texas is strongly opposed to the immediate seces-
sionists, and wi:l in no way favour their schemes by advis-
ing precipitate action. Texas has gained too much by joining
the Union to be willing to leave it if any reasonable com-
promise is offered to the South. At the time of its annexa-
tion Texas only contained 50,000 inhabitants. The last
census shows that its inhabitants now number 415,000
whites and 183,000 slaves. The United States expends an-
nually about 2,500,000d1s in defending the frontier against
Indian incursions ; and the experience of last winter shows
that if the federal forces be withdrawn, the rich valley of
the Rio Grande will become the prey of Mexican robbers
and filibusters. No wonder, then, that Texas does not de-
sire to leave the Union if she can honourably remain.

THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GEOSSMITH'S
" GOVERNMENT -UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties cx
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in bus
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."

SECESSION IN MISSOURI.

A correspondent from St. Louis, Missouri, writes that
he has recently travelled over three-fourths of the State
upon a collecting tour, and has had many opportunities for
ascertaining correctly the political sentiment of the people.
lie is satisfied that not only is the disunion sentiment ra-
pidly increasing, but two-thirds of the people now favour
secession, unless a compromise be adopted at Washington.
In spite of the assertion of the Republican press, four-
fifihs of the Missourians are as pro-slavery as the people of
Alabama. The census shows that the slave population has
annually increased since 1850. Unless a compromise be
a '.ipted Missouri will be the first Border State to secede.

A SOUTIIERN SYMPATHISER SHOT DEAD
IN OH] 0.

The Zanesville Courier of the lst inst. contains the par-
ticulars of the shocking murder of Win. Wilkins, a few
days previous, at Sewellsvillo, Belmont county, Ohio.
The murdered man was engaged in a heated discussion of
the national troubles, during which he earnestly sided
with the South, and, exhibiting a pistol, expressed his
willingness to fight for her. One of his companions, who
had taken part in the discussion, requested Wilkins to let
him fire the pistol, and upon his compliance with the re-
quest, remarked that if those were Wilkins' sentiments it
was as good a time now as any other to make a commence-
ment, and placing the weapon at the breast of the latter,
fired, the ball entering the heart and killing him instantly.
No arrests were made.
