CANTERBURY HALL, Westminster-road.--
Proprietor --C. MORTON.
The public is most respectfully informed that the FrisE
ARTS GALLERY, in connection with the above Hall, IS NOW
OPEN DAY AND NIGHT, from 11 o'clock a.m. until 12
o'clock p.m. The New Gallery contains an extensive Collec-
tion of Pictures, by Ancient and Modern Masters and is also
devoted to Art productions generally. The Proprietor feels
he may confidently assert that, viewed altogether, the exist-
ing Music Hall, the New Fine Arts Gallery, and the recently
added Ante-Hall, will present an attraction which, whether
as regards the architectural beauty of the structures them-
selves, or the varied and hitherto unattempted combinations
within, will be found to be wholly without parallel in the
Kingdom.
The MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT commences as usual at
Seven o'clock.

In addition to the usual entertainment, the SAIJVLET
FAMILY, of Amsterdam, Eight in number, whose varied
instrumental performances have created so marked a sensa-
tion in the principal cities and towns of the Continent, will
perform every Evening at Nine anl Eleven o'clock.

For the time of year there was a fair average show of
stock to-day, as to number, but its quality was inferior.
From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts
fresh up this morning were only moderate, but the general
condition of the stock was tolerably good. The attendance
of butchers was rather extensive, and the beef trade ruled
steady, at fully last Monday's currency. Theprimest Scots
sold readily, at 4s. 10d. per 8 lbs.

From Norfolk, Suffolk, &c., about 400 Scots and short-
horns came to hand. The receipts from the Northern and
Midland Districts were 700 shorthorns ; from other parts
of England 900 of various breeds ; from Scotland 280 Scoth,
and from Ireland 140 oxen. The remainder of the supply
was derived from near localities and abroad.

We were scantily supplied with most breeds of sheep,
the general quality of which was good. On the whole,
the mutton trade ruled firm, at fully last week's quotations.
The best old Downs sold at ss. 2d. per Slbs., and a good
clearance was effected.

Calves were in short supply and steady request, at an
advance of 2d. per 81bs. The top figure was 4d.
There was a moderate inquiry forpigs, at full quotations.

SELF-PRESERVATION.--A Medical Treatise
on the Functions and Disorders of the Generative System,
and on the cure of Nervous and Physical Debility, resulting
from vicious habits acquired during the critical passage from
youth to Manhood, with practical observations on the Phy-
siology of Marriage in its social, moral, and physical rela-
tions. To which are added remarks on the wonders of the
Microscope in revealing the hidden mysteries "of Life with!n
Life," and its advantages in detecting, by urinary examina-
tion, the cause and effect of every variety of these complaints,
with numerous engravings and cases.

37, BEDFORD SQUARE, L'ONDON,
Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Hono-
rary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Li-
centiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c.,
The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fear-
ful consequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities,
and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth,
degradation in Manhood, and premature, decay at all stages
of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to
modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended
to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condi-
tion, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health
happiness, and privileges to which every numan being is en-
titled.
It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that
there are principles of personal management which cannot be
violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when
wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-
Indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the
sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil
and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that
there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
aerangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply
a cure.

want of India, cheap carriage, is provided by the
very same means by which water is provided for
the soil. The deepened water of the now vast but
shallow streams would be the cheapest means of
conveyance both to the coast and internally. This
would overcome one of the chief difficulties in the
competition of Indian with American cotton.
We are therefore gratified to see that the " Ma-
dras Irrigation and Canal Company" is now fully
organised—that it is incorporated by Act of Par-
liament—and that upon its first million of capital
now proposed to be created, the Secretary of State
for India in Council has guaranteed a minimum
interest of 5 per cent.—all surplus profits being
divided between the company and the Government.
This was the plan originally proposed, and which
we cordially supported. The guarantee is nominal
on the part of the Government, since it will cer-
tainly be a large gainer ; it is, however, substantial
to the company, since persons seeking investment
know very well the trustworthiness of the Govern-
ment, but can generally know little of the merits
of Indian works. The works of this kind (too few),
which the Government itself has executed, have
been almost incredibly profitable ; some have paid
100 per cent., and the average has been 53 per
cent. on the capital invested. The Government,
however, with its deficient revenue, has not
the requisite funds, and com alercial com-
panies offer just the means to supply them.
We are not much in the habit of recommending
commercial companies, but a bona fide company for
enriching India by good investments for ourselves,
has more than a commercial claim on us. And,
having satisfied ourselves of its commercial merits,
we may, and do honestly, recommend it, from the
higher considerations of State policy and justice to
India.

For the time of year there was a fair average show of
stock to-day, as to number, but its quality was inferior.
From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts
fresh up this morning were only moderate, but the general
condition of the stock was tolerably good. The attendance
of butchers was rather extensive, and the beef trade ruled
steady, at fully last Monday's currency. Theprimest Scots
sold readily, at 4s. 10d. per 8 lbs.

From Norfolk,. Suffolk, &c., about 400 Scots and short-
horns came to hand. The receipts from the Northern and
Midland Districts were 700 shorthorns ; from other parts
of England 900 of various breeds ; from Scotland 280 Scots,
and from Ireland 140 oxen. The remainder of the supply
was derived from near localities and abroad.

We were scantily supplied with most breeds of sheep,
the general quality of which was good. On the whole,
the mutton trade ruled firm, at fully last week's quotations.
The best old Downs sold at ss. 2d. per Slbs., and a good
clearance was effected.

Calves were in short supply and steady request, at an
advance of 2d. per 81bs. The top figure was 4d.
There was a moderate inquiry for pigs, at full quotations.
Per 81bs. to sink the offal.

THE BRIGHTON DIVIDEND.—It is estimated that

with the previous half-year's dividend, 6 per cent. for the
year 1358, the same as for the previous year, 1857. Thus
the high dividend of this company keeps up, and the com-
pany substantially improves every year.—lferapath.
TUE SUBMARINE TELEGRAPII BETWEEN MALTA ,

totally suspended between the two islands since the 20th,

Cagliari, in the Caradoc steamer, on the night of the 23d,
to underrun the cable on that side, where it is supposed the
damage has been sustained.
'TIE PULPIT AND TILE PRESS.—On Sunday last
an Independent minister, while officiating in a Glasgow
West-end chapel, publicly prayed for the newspaper press
of the kingdom, and more especially of tkat city, that it
might be guided to take a correct view of all Matters affect-
ing the public interest.
NORFOLK TURKEYS.—It will perhaps excite some
astonishment when it is stated that last week 10,746 turkeys
were despatched as Christmas presents to the metropolis,
the greater part coining from Norfolk, and being placed on
the railway at Norwich. It is generally considered that a
tirkey, with sausages, hamper, carriage, &c., coats £l, anal
these presents, therefore represent an aggregate expenditure
of £lO,OOO. After this one may employ Mr. Punch's obser-
vation last week, " Not bad, for the eastern counties."
On Saturday evening Mr. James P. Peake, who
has held the office of assistant master shipwright at Wool-
wich since June 1848, received his appointment from the

PETITIONS.

Several petitions were presented praying for the repeal
of the duty on paper ; against the Endowed Schools Bill ;
for the repeal of the hop duty, &c.

CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF LONDON.
Mr. BRADY asked the Secretary of State for the Home
Department -whether it was the intention of the Govern •
meat to introduce a bill for the better regulation of the
Corporation of the City of London; and if so, when it
would be laid on the table of the house.

Mr. S. ESTCOUItT said he was prepared to bring in
two bills, one financial and the other municipal, after
Easter.

THE TROOPS AT TRINIDAD.

Sir DE LACY EVANS moved for an address for copies
of all correspondence, up to the latest date, concerning the
mortality and sickness of the 41st Regiment at Trinidad,
and concerning the unhealthy location of the barracks in
that locality. He also asked for some information on the
subject.
Gen. PEEL said that orders had been forwarded to the
Governor-General at Barbadoes for the withdrawal of the
troops as soon as possible.
The motion was agreed to.

THE PAPER DUTY.
Mr. DILLWYN asked the Secretary to the Treasury
under what section of the statute the Board of Inland Re-
venue had forbidden Mr. Routledge, of Eyusham Paper
Mills, to send out without Excis% survey half stuff made
into slabs similar to those imported free from Russia ?
Mr. S. ESTCOURT said the section in question was the
66th of the Paper Duty Act, and there was a difference be-
tween the two materials alluded to.

LOCAL ASSESSMENTS EXEMPTION ABOLITION

BILL

General BUCKLEY asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department what course he intended to pursue in
reference to this bill?

Mr. S. ESTCOURT said that he had received numerous
deputations from religious, charitable, and literary institu-
tions on this subject, and he was satisfied that he could not
induce the house to pass the bill in its present form. He
thought, under the circumstances, the best course would be
to proceed by commission.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. Marcia 30.

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
SWINFEN v. SWINFEN.-JUDGMENT.
_

Sir C. Cresswell said this was an application re-
specting the costs of proving the will of the late
Samuel Swinfen, who died about 1855. The result
of the proceedings taken in the Court of Chancery
was that the will, which was in favour of the widow
of the testator's son, was established, and probate
was not now opposed. The executrix did not ask
that the next of kin, who had opposed the will in
the Court of Chancery, should be condemned in the
costs of the proceedings in the Prerogative Court,
but the next of kin asked that his costs might be
paid out of the estate. If he had thought that the
proceedings in the Prerogative Court had been
instituted for the simple purpose of obtaining the
judgment of that Court upon the will, he should
have considered it a proper case for giving costs
out of the estate ; but he could not help believing,
from the circumstances that had come out in the
course of the case, that they were merely in-
stituted as ancillary to the object of obtain-
ing a decision against the will in the other
courts. The next of kin having had the advan-
tage of something in the nature of a bill of dis-
covery, he thought he ought not to decree costs
out of the estate. No costs would therefore be paid
on either side.

CHERRY V. CHERRY.

This was a petition by a husband for a restitu-
tion of conjugal rights, which was opposed by the
wife upon the ground that he had treated her with
cruelty. The case was tried in December last, be-
fore the Judge Ordinary and a jury, when a ver-
dict was returned for the petitioner. His Lordship
subsequently decreed that the respondent should
return to the petitioner.
Dr. Deane, Q.C., now moved for an attachment
against the respondent, Mrs. Cherry, for contempt.
It appeared from the affidavits that she was per-
sonally served with the order of the Court on the
26th of January ; that the petitioner had written
her a letter on the 4th of February earnestly im-
ploring her to return, and that he had made every
preparation for her reception, but she had taken no
notice of the order or of the letter, and had not
returned.

Sir C. Cresswell said an ordermust be served upon
Mrs. Cherry to obey the decree of the Court within
a week or ten days, and that if that order was not
obeyed an attachment would issue.

ALLEN V. ALLEN AND D'AROY.
This was an application by Mrs. Allen, the re-
spondent, that the petitioner, Mr. Allen, should be
ordered to restore her infant child to her custody-.
Sir C. Cresswell, having taken time to consider
his decision, now rejected the application, observing
that the affidavits left ri'doubt upon his mind that
Mrs. Allen had gressly miscopducted herself in her
attempts to obtain:p9sscssicin of the children since
the suit was commenced. After her -husband had
obtained possession of the child in respect of whom
this application was made, she did not think fit to
resort to this Court in the first instance, but only
asked for its assistance when she had failed to re-
cover possession of the child by violence. He also
thought that the husband ought not to be burdened
with the costs of this application, but that they
ought to be paid out of the alimony which had been
awarded to the wife.

MASSIE V. MASSIE.-JUDGMENT.
This was a petition for a judicial separation, pre-
sented by a wife on the ground of her husband's
adultery and desertion. It was tried on the 11 th
inst., and his lordship reserved his decision.
His Lordship now pronounced the decree for a
judicial separation.
