DEFECTIVE NUTRITION.—The rapidity and certainty with which Dr de Jongh's Light-Brown Cod Liver Oil will restore the vital forces, and repair the loss of flesh is thus described by two experienced surgeons. Benjamin Clarke, Esq., M. R. C. S., in testifying to its efficacy in general debility, observes :—' After the Pale Oil, and all other remedies that I could think of, had failed, I tried, merely aa a last resort, Dr de John's Light-Brown Oil, I received immediate relief; and its use was the means of my restoration to health and Henry Hanks, Esq., M R. C. S., states :—' Patients who have persisted for several months in the use of the Pale Oil with scarcely any perceptible improvement, have, after a brief trial of Dr de Jongh's Light-Brown Cod Liver Oil, acquired such fatness, and those distressing symptoms accom- panying emaciation have 8v rapidly subsided, that I have been induced to advise its substitution for the Pale Cod Liver Oil.'

THE ALABAMA AT THE CAPE. CAPB TOtrN, MAKCA 21.—Yesterday afternoon it was signalled that a nench man-of-war was coming into the bay. Soon after it was discovered to be the redoubtable Alabama. The news spread like wildfire throughout the town, and numbers of persons were to TOS^EEN wending their way down in the direct'OR. of the central jetty. The neighbourhood of the Pott-office and the jetty itself were speedily crowded-, and the excitement was increased when it was sign&II^d that there was another man-of- war outalde-, Tho conclusion was at once come to, and it was positively asserted amongst the eager multi'ID'S, that it was the Federal steamer Wyoming1, which had been chasing tho Alabama, and that Captain Semmes had come into labia Bay for PROTECTION. The Alabama is a great favourite here, and hearty were the congretulations EXPRESSED eta hel SAFE ensconcement under the protection of the British flag. Speculation was rife as to whether the Wyoming would come into the bay, or lie in wait for the enemy outside; when lo! in steamed, not the Wyoming, but an innocent French corvette. Then th'cre was speculation on another head. Wonid THE governor detain the Alabama as he had done THR Tuscaloosa ? Or could he lay violent hands on TIER on account of the seizure of the Martabtm, which had a British registry, and was sailing under British colours ? The gossips as. sertefd that the governor had been telegraphed to on the instant* although it was Sunday night, and a message list! been sent ordering the immediate coming round of & British man-of-war from Simon's Bay. The illusion was, however, soon dispelled. The authorities were no' so excited as the populace, and, I am asButed, took rib such pell-mell action as was imputed to 'th'ETA. I am informed that tho Alabama will not be interfered with at present; that she will be ALLOWED all necessary sup- plies and that when her cdaling Is completed she will be open to receive visitors from the shore as on the oc- casion of her formed visits. Captain Semmes received us on board last night with all that urbanity and gentle- manly demeanour which characterised him Oil previous occasions, and was willing to afford every information respecting the movements at:1f the doings of his ship. He had not much to teW. beyond what had been previously known both in England and at the Cape. It will be re- collected that when ho left Singapore on the 21st of September he fell in with the Martaban, and burned her in tho belief that she was in reality a Federal merchant- man. The captain produced a registry, dated at Singa- pore, ten days previouely- On being asked if he had a bill of sale on B jard, lie iaid he had left it with the Cus- toms authorities when he got the registry. He protested most selenniy that the Martaban was a British vessel, but Captain Semmes told him that the register did not prove the nationality of the ship, and he would burn her, which he accordingly did. Subsequently, at a court held on board the Alabama, the master of the Martaban, which was in reality the Texan Star,' admitted that the whole was a made-up affair, that there had been no actutl sale, and that he had painted the new name on the stern after he had put to sea. The depositions of the master and mate were taken, and Captain Semmes says he can produce them if ever they should be required. On the 4th of January Captain Semmes fell in with the American ship Emma Jane, Captain F. C. Jordon* bound from Bombay to Rangoon, which he also destroyed* landing the captain and er, w on the island of Aujeno. The Alabama continued cruising about in the hope of capturing additional prizes* but without success. She spoke and boarded many vessels which turned out to be bona fide neutrals; then made her way into the Mo- zambique Channel, and came to the Cape, which she made ten days ago, but has been standing off and on until the expiration of the three months, when she would be entitled to obtain coals at a British pott. It is just three months to-day since she took coals at Singapore, so that she is entitled to have them furnished to her in Table Bay, The Alabama has captured altogether nine Federal Veasels in the Eastern seas.

GENERAL GARIBALDI. Garibaldi embarked on board the Duke of Sutherland's yacht, the Undine, on Wednesday, at Fowey, and in company with the Duke and Duchess and the Duchess Dowager, proceeded down Channel, with a fair wind, for Caprera. Previous to his departure he addressed a farewell to the English people, in which he glorifies our countrymen and our institutions with a warmth that would sound extravagant if it were not so evidently sincere, and intimates that it is his earnest desire that Italy should imitate us and copy our habits and customs. At the same time he frankly confesses that Italy will never be at rest till her two oppressors, by whom we presume, he means the French in Rome and the Aus- trians in Venetia, be removed. England is invited to help in this work, and in the cause of all the exiles who now find refuge on our shores, and we are assured that we shall have a powerful ally in France when France is free. A graceful farewell to the press accompanies this epistle. The following are the addresses:— 4 TO THB ENGLISH NEWSPAPERS. 'April 26, 1864: I cannot leave England without offering a publio homage to the power of the press, and a special tribute of gratitude to all those journals which were the sincere and faithful organs of public opinion towards me, and the benevolent interpreters of my admiration and feelings towards the nation who gave me hospitality. I send, therefore, a hearty greeting to all the representatives of the press. G. GARIBALDI.' I TO THE PEOPLE OF ENGLAND.' 4 Penquite, Par, Cornwall, April 26, 1864. 1 Ul'.I'trious cities, highly-reputed corporations, repre- sentative bodies from every class of citizens, have honoured me with countless addresses, to which my heart would have desired, but time is wanting me, to aHswer worthily. 1 hope, nevertheless, to be allowed to fulfil in part my debt by this special farewell of affection and gratitude to all. On this occasion I cannot, how- ever, speak of myself alone, because I must not interpret the many eloquent and generous words that have been addressed to me as a mere personal honour, which is of little importance compared with the greatness of the cause for which in these days the heart of the English people and mine have throbbed in unison but as a fresh proof of that sympathising solicitude that the richest, the most prosperous, and the freest nation in the world nourishes towards another nation which has been twice recognised as the mother of civilisation, and has through martyrdom, through persevering struggles, car- ried on with daring and with wisdom, become worthy of reassuming her place in th e world, and proclaiming 41 am risen.' For this reason I believe I can reveal the thought of Italy to England, as I believe I may hold up England as an example and a hope to Italy. The two nations are already sisters; they may speak together in sincerity and confidence. In England the institutions of the country, the respect for the laws, all that prodi- gious contexture of autonomous, and yet organised forms of order, true and lawful, not vulgar or violent, combined with absolute individual freedom of conscience, freedom of domicile, freedom of the press, of speech, and of association, the right of national defence, not the privi- lege of a special body, but recognised to all; an army, bright in glory, yet untainted with that disease of mo- dern times, known under the sinister name of militarism the rifle volunteers, England's pride and my dream • the strength, the decorum, the activity, the perseverance— the perseverance above all, by which, when onco a posi- tion or an institution is conquered, retreat is never known all these things, which form the admiration of civilised peoples from afar, and excite an intense desire to emulate, I would almost say to envy, on a nearer view, may and should be proposed as an example to Italy. 4 For myself it was impossible to spend a few days in this land, without doing homage to these many truths, and still more without freely recording them to my fel- low countrymen, not so much in testimony of the deep im- pression England has left on my own mind, as for a lesson and incitement to them. N, J TL>E people I have nothing to recall which they do not know. They know what Italy desires. Italy has made UP her mind to exist. She has the right to do so and if any should doubt it, I would add she al- ready exists in fact, and that nothing trill prevent her completing herself. Italy desires but to break the yoke of the two adverse powers that oppress her, and-let the world hear it-she can never rest until she .haU have accomplished this aim, which is for her a question of life or death. 'The English, who would rather disappear under their ocean than Allow the sacred soil of their country to be violated by the foreigner, will comprehend how legitimate are the aspirations and how immovable the resolves of my country. England knows that by disinterestedly co- operating in favour of the destiny of Italy in 1860 she contributed to further order and peace in Europe— that peace and that order which alone are durable and beneficent, because founded on justice and on progress. England will, I am convinced, be ever more and more confirmed in this view—that if it is for Italy to show herself strong, and really to be strong and independent of servile alliances, in order to induce confidence from her true friends, amongst whom the first place is due to Eng- land, England herself WIll see how much the alliance of a young, civilised, and free nation like Italy is preferable to the heterogeneous and impure connubium with despotic Powers Yet I cannot hope-.say IT WITH GRIEF JTHAT Italy will be able to accomplish her destiny without again encountering the direful proof of arms. England's voice is listened to and respected. She 18 iN A great degree arbitress of the fate of Europe but let her be fully per- suaded that she can nevpr solve the Italian question or that of the other nationalities, by any contrivance of com- pensation and diplomatic exchanges. But, in face of the great principle of the solidarity of the peoples, proclaimed and sanctioned by universal consciente, I cannot speak of Italy alone; still less at a time when the omen and the promise of this true Holy Alliance was irrevocably con- firmed when lately I pressed the hands of persecuted men from every part of Europe. • On quitting this hospitable shore I can no longer con- ceal the secret wish of my heart, in recommending the CaJ3e of oppressed peoples to the most generous and sagacious of nations. Since their arising is certain, and thjlr triumph fated, England will know how to spread over them the powerful shield of her name, and tu sus- tain them, if need be, with her strong arm. England knows that she will not be alone in this great mission. Across the Straits there livesanothet gigantic people that las been ofttimes impelled by the arts of despotism to be :he rival and the enemy of this country, but which free- iom will be the means of turning into peaceiul competitors md friends. Freedom! this is the sun that should fructify the sin- ;ere and formidable alliance of the two peoples, ofcivi'i lation a-ainst savagery, and by which, without unsheu" ng tho sword, the great work of the world's peace V JU U iuat&lied, G. GARIBALDI.' I

REVIEW OF THE CORN TRADE DURING THE PAST WEEK. (From BeWt Weekly Messenger.) WHEAT.—There was a very limited supply from Essex at Mark-lane on Monday, and that fresh up from Kent was moderate. Trade opened dull, and sales could not be effected until a reduction of Is per qr had been sub- mitted to, when a fair quantity was cleared off, picked samples of Essex white bringing 45s per qr and good runs of white KENTISH WE?E disposed of at 438 per qr. Taking quality INTO account these are low prices, and farmers will hot be encouraged to send large supplies forward for the present, and only those who require funds to meet their out going expenses are likely to forward this article the wealthier class will hold on for some more favourable turn in the market, and on the whole the deliveries are conse- quently not likely to be LARG^ There TVAA onl,y a limited sale for foreign qualities, atid no quotable change took place in tho talive of any description but owing to the T'-OCT&ILE ot ihntzic and Pillau, qualities from these ports were withdrawn from sale, from the expectation that this circumstance will enhance the value of white descriptions, which usually come from those ports. The imports con- sisted of 500 qrs from Enos, 1162 qrs from Hamburgh, 1100 qrs from Havre, 1570 qrs from Konigsberg, and 500 qrs from Saxkiobing, making a total of 4832 qrs. With little exception, the whole of this iopoft frottldsuit both town and country mjllersv The imports at Liverpool on Tuesday acioufctea to 33,496 qrs, besides 28,772 sacks, and oris flour. There was rather more passing in Mcall Quantities at the prices of Friday, good ordinary winter red commanded 8s 2d per cental, being scarcely anything above the value of amber qualities. Thers were liberal imports at Hull, amounting to 18,014 qrs; nearly all of which came from Dantzio by the stedmcrs, but prices were almost noniir.&L for foreign qualities, whilst the supply frcm the farmers being large, they had to ac- cept deduction of 18 per qr, and then it sold slowly. There were few transactions entered into at Leeds; as the factors would not meet the views of buyers, prices were nominally the same as last week. A large supply was brought forward at Ipswich, but sales were limited, as the farmers stood out for former prices. A fair quantity ap- peared at Lynn, which MET a clow sale at Is per qr re- duction in price, and which was accepted with great reluclance by the growors. At Spalding the supply was not lar",o, and the best qualities commanded previous ratca the only change was about 6d per qr for inferior softs. NOW that spring tillage is nearly completed, were tho prices more encouraging farmers w'oi»!d bring out larger quantities; some of them may be compelled to dj :;0, whilst others are determined to look on and hold until an amelioration in price takes place. The supply of English on Wednesday was quite trifling, with moderate imports of foreign. Prime qualities of home grown sold quietly at Monday's reduced rates, and there was no quotable change in any description of foreign. The Scotch markets have been without any material variation aa to prices, but a limited business has generally been experienced. The imports at Leith were 4104 qrs and the best qualities of foreign barely maintained M much money, whilst secondary descriptions were 6d to Is per qr lower, but with no pressing sollers. The imports up the Clyde for (Glasgow market were 1160 qrs besides 2348 brls flour from Canada and the United States, but at Grangemouth there were only 381 qrs. Sales of foreign samples were slow; but without any quotable variation in price. At the markets held on Thursday the supplies were tolerably good, and prices were in many instances Is per qr lower, but the farmers were very reluctant sellers, and many of them preferred to take home their samples. At Mark-lane on Friday, the supply of home grown was moderate, but there were good imports of foreign,, some large cargoes having arrived from Dantzic in steamers. Fine English sold quietly at Monday's currency. Foreign samples were in retail demand without any alteration in price. At Liver- pool the demand was quite in retail, and prices were slightly under those of Tuesday. The millers at Wakefield bought a limited quantify, which they obtained at less money. The weekly average was 40s ld on 99,148 qrs, against 40s Id on 89,987 qrs the previous week J the cor- responding one of the past year was -i5s 9d on 75,942 qrs. BARLEY.—The arrivals of English coastwise and by railways were 2274 qrs, and the imports of foreign only amounted to 1267 qrs, nearly all of which came from Denmark. The temperature being now too high for the manufacture of malt, fine qualities were not much asked for, but being in limited quantity prices were about sup- ported, and there was no quotable change in the Value of grinding descriptions, which continue to go into com- sumption steadily; and the stocks of such are good a deal reduced. The deliveries in all the agricultural districts are now on a very moderate scale, and supplies of this article are well nigh exhausted but little mere will be wanted this season for malting purposes. The quality has been so satisfactory that our maltsters have been en- couraged to work largely, and the stocks of malt in their hands, as well as the large brewers, are considered to be large. The arrivals coastwise on Friday were 470 qrs, and the imports of foreign were 6560 qrs. Little inquiry was made after malting qualities, and the demand for grinding was limited, but prices were aboat supported for all sweet descriptions, which are not now in abundance. The weekly average was 30s lOd on 34,962 qrs, against 30S 9d on 30s 9d on 35,746 qrs the previous week; the corresponding one of the past year was 35A 4d on 20,240 qrs. OATS.—The arrivals of English coastwise and by the railways for Monday's market were 3590 qrs; from Scotland, there were 1187 qrs: from Ireland, 2621 qra whilst the imports of foreign amounted to 19,366 qrs. A moderate demand was experienced, and the prices of the previous week were obtained for all descriptions. The dry weather of this week, combined with the cold nights, will prevent tho growth of grass, and a good demand is consequently likely to be kept up for some time to come usually, the month of May is a good time for selling this article, and prices are likely to be well supported. Prime heavy and sweet English corn at lid per stone cannot be considered very dear, and the large dealers will not be afraid to hold a stock at these rates the consumers too will perhaps take rather larger qualities during the next few weeks. Whilst the wind remains from the east, vessels from the North of Europe will make quick passages and the bulks are certain to arrive in good condition, and meet a good sale in consequence. The arrivals for Friday's market coastwise were 320 qrs from Ireland there were 2300 qrs, with imports of foreign amounting to 17,690 qrs. A moderate amount of business was transacted in all useful qualities, and Monday's currency was supported generally the aggregate supply of the week amounted to about the consumption of the metropolis. The weekly average was 16s 3d on 10,678 qrs, against 188 Ud on 8762 qrs the previous week the corresponding one of the past year was 21s 6d on 9393 qrs. BEANS.—The deliveries of this article have not been so good as those of the previous week, and prices have been well supported. The imports of foreign have been limited, and prices of every description quite as high. Egyptians are generally held for some money, the article being now quite as high in Egypt as in England, and the export from thence being prohibited, no additional supplies can be ex- pected beyond those which bad been previously shipped. The imports at Liverpool amounted to 1872 qrs, and no change in value took place. There were only 212 qrs re- ported at Hull, and this article not being plentiful commanded rather more money. The imports at Leith and Glasgow were exceeding short, and prices were quite as high. The weekly average was 33s on 4578 qrs, against 32s 6d on 4665 qrs the previous week the corresponding one of the past year was 36s 6d on 3374 qrs. PEAS.—There have been very limited deliveries of this article, but prices were barely supported for some descrip- tions, with a very limited demand generally. The imports of foreign have been quite trifling, but these are scarcely wanted, and cannot pay the importers at present prices. A small quantity arrived at Liverpool, and no variation in their value took place. The imports at Hull were 310 qrs, and full prices were obtained. Up the Clyde for Glasgow market there were 910 qrs from Canada, and the demand was limited, but prices were unchanged. There were no imports at Leith, and no variation worthy of notice. The weeklytaverage was 3 Is lid on D4<.1 qrs, against 32s 8d on 684 qrs the previous week; the corresponding one of the past year was 368 2d on 401 qrs. The markets in the North of Europe have been inactive. At Hamburgh the demand for wheat has slackened, and prices of Upland have not been supported, yet the decline has been trifling, only about 6J. per qr. The sales effected have been mostly for shipment to Belgium those from Great Britain have ceased. The amount of business was 9000 qrs in the week. Forward deliveries were more inquired for; Marks 60} 61| to 36s 398 6d and 40s, Wahren 61 £ lb at 39S, Sileaian 61 to 61| lb at 39s 6d and 408 per qr tree on board, weighed 60 lb per bushel. There has been scarcely any demand for barley, and supplies are moderate, and prices almsst nominal. The French SI T T K U FIRM FOR both wheat and flour. At 61 £ *> £ 2 3d, There has been more firmness in the TV United States, owing to the advance in the rnt f change and gold. Tho choicest brands of FLOURLT;0^" York were 60c to 70c higher, and this induced the hold! to demand more money for wheat, but the stocks not bein* large, transactions were only to a limited extent. Southern white wheat made 398 6d, to 418 6d, Western 37sto 33A Winter red 35s to O5S 6J, Spring red 32s 6d to 35S PE £ qr, weighed 60 lb per bushel, shipping expenses to add. Flour ranged from 19s to 288 per barrel, according to quality.

A QUEER CHRISTIAN.—Parson Brownlow, a cordial hater of the South, says in his paper, the Knoxville Whig and Rebel Ventilator—4 Had we our wish we would throw hell wide open, and place ail such beast-like officers and men upon an incliued plane, at an angle of 45 degrees, grease the planks with hog's lard six inches thick, with a wicket at the bottom, and send them, as one stream of traitors, robbers, and assassins, into the hottest part of the infernal regions. OFF WITH THE liEU I-One of the oddest proceedings of the many odd ones in the matrimonial line is that related of a marriage which was recently to have taken place in Liverpool (says the Court Journal). The happy day arrived, redolent of smiling faces and pleasant an- ticipations, and the rejoicing bridegroom, determined to have everjtaing done in the most 'stylish' manner, ordered a carnage and pair, with all the et cieteras. Everything WAS TOBE sent to his dwelling-house; but, insteud of having them conveyed there, the fair bride had them conveyed to the railway station, not forgetting the splendid r J U idof beef, and taking out a ticket for London, was OI n a jitiv. The surprise of the marriage party, and the eons •.rnation of the bridegroom, must be left to the ter-Ile imagination, Tbe jf of runuing off ITH the beef was considered anything but genteel by •.HE anticipating guests. THE lady with the commissariat '•AS cot aiuce been heard of.

CLERICAL JILTING; j For of this sort are they which creep into houses and lead captive silly women, laden with sins, led away with divers lusts.'—2nd Timothy, ch. 3, v. 6. The officer AT country quarters u?ed tc* be the topical inconstant and breaket oi heatts, the tnaii WHO loVes and rides away.' We are not sure that we may not now divide this evil fame with the curates, and for the same reason-the trial brought about by change. One conse- quence of admitting a different social clasti into the Church will be a countless number of breaches of promise. It is so already. A young man—and these ambitious young fellows are all in a hutry to begin life —engages himself to a pretty girl of his own class; Something puts it Uilo his head to entef the Church, to which there are so many side entrancee in these days. His fiances, between pride in him and the prospect of personal advancement, is delighted. He scrambles into some miserable smattering of learning; and is orduined to a curacy. llere somebody asks him to dinner or to tea. For the first time iri his life he finds himself in a drawing room, and sees ladies in company arfay. Shy; awkward, and loutish as he aeemS; his spirit is all agog; a new world opens to him i ho perceives nt once that be has thrown himself away. Nothing seems impossible to a man who has begun a career and cast off something of his old slough it is the season for the very intoxication of vanity. His first love is despised in his eyes; she is a hindrance and a stumbling-block, but for her he might make some great match. In this temper he can easily find some adviser to press on him the duty of not making a fool of himself; and the rest follotfs as a matter of course* But independently of obvious temptations of this sort where there is no social advancement or novelty of scene to account for them, there has always been an especially clerical form of jilting. The fact is that honour and simple good faith—virtues of natural religion —are tho real guardians of constancy; and where nature and conscience teach us our duties with sufficient clearness, men have no right whatever to turn their backs on these counsellors, under the pretence of seeking a ihigher guidance* Revelation was given to sup- plement, not to supersede. But certainly the world has all along allowed to religious teachers a 1tide license in this particular. A man's usefulness, or a higher vocation, have been pleaded as j ustiflccttions in cases tfhere simple laymen would have met with hard measure, and have even gained hitii credit IS evidenbea of self denial. The treachery under discussion increases so much with the social standing of the actors, and with their opportunities for refinement that our judgments must be guided by these considerations. Nobody really jilts another, in any hard sense of the word, who does not sin against the respectable public opinion of his class; but on the other hand, that society must be in an elementary or de- moralized condition where this rudest form of incon- stancy is nut regarded as a grave jSence, not only to the individual sufferer, but to the circle in which it has been committed, as a breach of public duty, and as inflicting a wound on that pure and simple good faith which is the foundation of all credit and honour.—Saturday Review.

LOVE AND SUICIDE.—An inquest was held at Bolton, on Monday, respecting the death of Hannah Hulme; aged 25, a domestic servant in the employ of Mr Hebden, cotton spinner, the Holleysj Chorley Oldroad, Bolton. It appeared that a young man, named Metcalfe, residing at Stanley-street, Cheetham, Manchester, had been paying his addresses to deceased for the last eight months as a single man, although it is not yet twelve months since he was married. He seduced Hulme, who about a month since found out that he was a married man. The deception to which she had been subject so preyed upon her mind that she poisoned herself on Saturday night by drinking a decoction of aconite, which plant grew in her master's garden. William Metcalf admitted the facts stated, and said he had been aequaintedlwith the deceased about eight months. On Saturday night she appeared in good health. He had no quarrel With her, gave her no medicine, and knew nothing of the poison. She had known a little more than a month that he was a married man, and found it out herself. He had no reason to believe she was pregnant. When he left her she did not appear in low spirits; she did so about half an hour previous. The jury fJund, 'That deceased destroyed herself by drinking an infusion of aconite whilst in a state of unsound mind.' At the request of the jury, Metcalfe was called in and admonished by the coroner, who said the deceased bad lost her life through his mis- conduct. He had deceived her, and, though he was acquitted by the jury of any criminal act, he was not discharged from the moral offence. Ho might carry away the reflection that he was a great scoundrel. Metcalfe admitted the truth of the coroner's remarks. THE BISHOP OF LONDON AS A PREACHER.—AS a preacher the Bishop of London hardly calls fur any special remark. But even in a critical point of view Dr Tait has one distinguishing merit, which may ensure more substantial good than mere showy qualifications. When Demosthenes said that the first, second, and third requi- site for an orator was action, I apprehend that what Demosthenes meant, was not action, in our modern notion of the word, but earnestness. And this earnest- ness the Bishop possesses to the fullest extent; it over- flows in tone, manner, and language, and never fails in being impressive, never fails in producing that effect of reality which mere rhetoric would be powerless to produce. Hardly subject to enthusiasm himself, he is hardly capable of arousing enthusiasm in others, and we should be surprised if those who ask for his willing aid in preaching a sermon for a charitable purpose, succeed in the object of obtain- ing a very fnll congregation or a very full collection; and if he is reading his sermon to a hardly average con- gregation, the sermon would be considered, if men were discussing a less dignitary, as decidedly monotonous. This objeotion would be modified, if not totally obviated, if in the supposed case the bishop wasdetiveringnota written .but an extemporaneous discourse. There nre, however, certain occasions on which the sermons of the bishop, both in matter and manner, rise to an unusual and very remarkable degree of excellence. Weare think- ing of the special services held in St Paul's Cathedral or in Westminster Abbey. The inspiring associations or the place and scene, the solemn gath. ring of listening thou- sands, possiDly the knowledge that next morning the press will be scattering a precis of his sermon wherever the English tongue is spoken, most certainly the prospect of doing much good on a large scale, have caused the preacher to give most careful preparation to his sermon, and to produce an earnestness that produces the best effects of absolute eloquence. And on these occasions the preacher addresses himself not only to the heart, but directly to the intellect, the information, and the good sense of his listeners. The sermons then became really model sermons, which every preacher might study with advantage. They do not exhibit the mistakes of many well meaning but imbecile persons, whose sermons are a miscellaneous collection of tracts strung together by obvious truisms. Least of all do they exhibit the mistake or sin, much less frequent and far more pitiable, of ambi- tious language and oratorical display, out of mere vanity. The robust sense, the interesting reference to past or current history, the close logical argument that makes men think, the kindly and pointed appeal which makes men feel, are all here. In all probability many an intelli- gent artizan goes home thoughtfully, and long chews the cud of reflection over what he has heard, resolving to live henceforth as a reasonable being, and cling fast to a reasonable religion. Assuredly the bishop would be per- fectly satisfied with such a result, the best reward of a clergyman's prayers and pains. Churchman's Family Magazine. RAILWAY ACCIDENTS. — The official reports upon certain accidents which have occurred on railways during the months of January and February, this year have been published and presented to Parliament. In his report, dated February 2, Captain Tyler gives an account of the accident which occurred on January 9 on the Midland Railway, near Rawmarsh. The original cause of the several collisions which took place on the occasion was the breaking down of the engine of a coal train en its way to Sheffield. In all, five trains were brought to a standstill by the occurrence, but only one man, a guard, was killed, and some four or five clerks of the up-mail train to Leeds injured slightly. The guard was in the act of warning an approaching train of the danger before it when he met with his death. Captain Tyler's judgment on the occurrence is as follows.. All the servants of the company, including the poor man who lost his life, appear to have performed their duties to the beat of their judgment and ability and it is plain that further means of safety are required on a line so crowded with traffic of all descriptions, and with trains travelling at various velocities. I recommend that arrangements be made for working this portion of the railway by the aid of the telegraph, and that the signals at Rawmarsh, and other small stations, be kept burning during the night.' The second report relates to the acci- dent which occurred on the Whitby Branch of the North- Eastern Railway, on February 10. It appears that there is a steep incline of about three-quarters of a mile long, called the Goatbland incline, about eight miles from Whitby, which is worked by a stationary engine on tho summit, and a wire rope, which is wound round a drum six feet in diameter., The rope was attached to a six- wheeled van, specially constructed for the purpose and which precedes the trains in descending, and pushes them before it in ascending the incline. On the evening of the day mentioned, the 6.45 p.m. train from York was being let down the incline by this apparatus, when the rope broke, and the train was precipitated down the declivity with fearful rapidity. The carriages were smashed to pieces, two people crushed to death, and 13 more or less seriously injured. On investigation, Capt. lyler found that the rope was very defective, and that there had been great want of supervision over it. His previous recommendation, that telegraphic communica- tion should be established between the top and bottom of IT 1DC(RLNE °°T heen carried out. On the evening of f K v aco^8*0n occurred at the Spring-wall Station of the North-Eastern Railway, between a passenger and a coal train. Out of eighty passengers, thirty-four received injuries. Captain Tyler attributes the accident to the old-lashioned and defective signals at the point of the line and he notices that the man in charge of them is also station-master, booking clerk, ticket collector and porter, and is sometimes required to work night and day ■—never less than 12 out ot the 24 hours. The same is the case with the signalman at the Pelaw Junction, whose statement is given by Capt. Tyler. This par- ticular signalman states: 41 have always taken a 24 hours' shift every other week since I have been here (for 11 years and 3 months). I have never had tho option offered me of any other arrangement. I have never had a holiday since I have been here, nor asked for one. I have been off duty during that time for about a fortnight altogether, through sickness.' Capt. Tyler is unsparing in his condemnation of this state of things, ^hi|CH ho oooaidera disgraceful to the company.

The promptitude with which this claim Was met by (1\e above office reflects the greatest credit upon the Corpo- ration, and it also evidences the necessity for those whose property is yet uninsured, to be equally prompt in effect ing insurances in offices of similar respectability and character to that of the London Assurance Corporation. It will be seen on reference to our advertising columns that this office has been established for more than a century, and the rates of insurance are equally liberal with those of other offices. Mr T. Baker, of High-street, is agent for Haverfordwest. WESLEYAN MISSIONARY JUBILEE.—On Tuesday evening last, a meeting in connection with the above movement, was held a; the Wesleyan Chapel in this town, when the Rev.

Several gentlemen also addressed the meeting, and collections were made at the close in aid of the J ubilee Fund.—In the afternoon of the same day, the rev. gentiemafl pfeatched a sermon at the Chapel, when a collection was made in aid of the same fund. The sermon was characterised by much earnestness and ability, and was listened to with gr$at attention by a large congregation. ROYAL PEMBROKESHIRE ARTILLERY MILITIA.— This regiment met: for training on Thursday, when the muster was more numerous than on any former occasion. The leather has been most favourable, and the drill out-of-doofs has been carried on with hut slight inter- ruption. The attendance of officers is far below the strength of the regiment, Lieut. Walcott being the only officer of that rank present at this tfaining. The other officers present are Lieut. Col. Sir Hugh Owen; Major Lewis; Capt. WiUan Capt. J. Owen; Capt. Jordan; Capt. Edwardes; Capt. Wells; and Dr. Brown. Th9 able band of the regiment, under the direction of the bandmaster, Mr E. Ribbon, enlivens the parade ground daily by their performance of a good selection of excel- lent music. It has also played on three evenings in the Castle Square, when they drew together a goodly as- sembly of admiring spectators.

DUCKER r. RHYS.—SWEATING A JOCKEY. This was an action to recover a sum of money for riding races and for expenses, and was tried at the Guild- hall, on the 23rd inst., before Mr Justice Crompton and a Common Jury. Mr F. H. Lewis was counsel for the plaintiff; Mr Lloyd for the defendant. It appeared that the plaintiff is a jockey, and the de- fendant, Captain Rhys, is the owner of several race horses, and a gentleman well known on the turf. The plaintiff rode the defendant's horse Rhcebus, and won at some races in Wales. After that the defendant asked him if he could ride 7st. 71b. He replied yes,' upon which the captain engaged him to ride for the Chester Cup. The defendant said, Consider yourself engaged to ride in the Chester Cup for me, as I intend to run Rhcebus.' He went to Chester, weighed and saddled, and was about to mount, when the clerk of the course came up to him and said the horse could not run because bis stake had not been paid. Plaintiff said he was sure it had been for Captain Rhys had sent a cheque for it The clerk of the course said, What do I know about Captain Rhys. I am not going to take his cheque.' Rhcebus did not run. He afterwards rode Old Port for Captain Rhys at Bath, but lost the race, a :d he afterwards lost on the same horse at Chelmsford. He rode Vesper for him at Northampton and lost, but he won at the Devon and Exeter races. The usual fee for a winning mount was five guineas, and three guineas for a losing one. He afterwards called on the defendant for the money, having heard he had won £100, and thinking he might be flush of money (laughter) he asked him for a cheque. Mr Justice Crompton: I suppose you thought he would be in a good humour. Plaintiff: Yes (laughter). He said he would see him presently but he did not (laughter). He, however, saw him on the grand stand at Leamington, when he again asked him for the money. He then said he had not got the money from the clerk of the course; but he was to call on him at the Regent, at Leamington. He went there, but could not see him. He was always out when plaintiff called (laughter). Cross-examined When he went to Chester he had a great deal of trouble and difficulty to get himself down to the required weight- Mr Justice Crompton: What, by sweating in the usual way ? Plaintiff: Yes (laughter) but he did it rather fine (laughter). lie could but just get himself within the weight. A question arose as to the expense the plaintiff was put to in going to Chester. Mr Justice Crompton said he thought the plaintiff ought to be put in a proper position as to that. The clerk of the course was the person who prevented his riding. Mr Lloyd said be understood Captain Rhys would have been present to be examined; but as he wa. absent he had no answer to the case. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for J625 4s, the amount claimed.

liOOSE PETTY SESSIONS. These sessions were held at the Shire Hall on Saturday, before Rev. T. Watts, 0. E. Davies, Esq., and J. Penry Jones, Esq. BREACH OF THE PEACE. Patrick Collins, fisherman, of Marloes, was charged with firing a gun at Mary Jane Davies, of the same place. The complainant stated on a former examination that the defendant fired a gun at her near the Town Meadow at the village of Marloes. The defendant denied the charge, and called two wit- nesses—(his mother, and a neighbour named Rebecca Thomas) to prove an alibi. Their Worships dismissed the charge, remarking that there was a doubt in the matter, and they had given the defendant the benefit of it. As the parties were leaving the Court, the mother of the complainant struck a woman named Edwards, who had interested herself in the defendant behalf. The parties were brought inside the bar, when Mrs Edwards denounced her assailant in vigorous terms, declaring that Mrs Davies was jealous of her, and had always shown ill- feeling towards her and Patrick Collins solely on that account. Mrs Davies, with equal vigour, applied uncomplimen- tary epithets to Mrs Edwards. Mr Watts: If anything of this kind is continued, we shall be obliged to bind you over to keep the peace. Mrs Edwards: She struck me, sir. Mrs Davies: And you shoved me. Mr Watts: I think the people of Marloes must be de- lighted at having such a couple of amiable women amongst them. (Loud laughter.) Mrs Edwards: I never touched her. Mrs Davies: You struck me first. Mr Watts: I think you are quite equal—it is tit for tat as people say—six of one and half a dozen of the other. (Great laughter.) You leave the Court now, and conduct yourselves properly, or the Bench will bind you over to keep the peace for six months, and if you can't find bail, you will be sent to prison. TRANSFER OF LICENCE. The licence of the Wexford Waterman's Packet Inn, Hakin, was transferred from Mrs Mary Ann Morris to Miss Eliza Ann Vaughan. DRIVING WITHOUT REINS. Daniel Davies, an agricultural servant in the employ of Mr Harries, of Cwmgloyne, was charged with driving without reins. The defendant stated that he had two lines to his horses in the first place, but the shaft broke coming down a hill, and he took off one of the lines to bind the shaft. P.C. Harries, in reply to tho Bench, said that the shaft was bound up. The Clerk said that it appeared quite an accident, and that the law had never contemplated inflicting a fine in such a case. The Bench then dismissed the case. BREACH OF THE PEACE. James Lewis, of Haroldstone, was charged with assault- ing Martha Williams, a servant of his father. The case had been adjourned from the last sessions at the suggestion of the Bench, the defendant under- taking to give up the clothes of the complainant, who wished to leave Mr Lewis's service. The complainant now stated that she had been to Haroldstone, and that Mr Lewis had refused to pay her unless she served the whole year. He was quite willing to give her her clothes, but she was unable to get a cart to remove them. The Bench suggested that she should remove her clothes; and then take out a summons respecting the wages.

HAVERFORDWEST PETTY SESSIONS. Theso adjourned sessions were held at the Shire Hall on Wednesday, before the Mayor, H. P. Goode Esq. T. Rowlands, Esq., and S. Harford, Esq. DRUNKENNESS AND RIOTOUS CONDUCT. Thomas Phillipsof North Street, was charged with being drunk and riotous at Castle Back on the evening of the 22nd instant. The wife of the defendant stated ho was unable to attend in consequence of illness. P.C. Adams proved the charge, and their Worships fined the defendant 5s and costs, and in default of pay- ment in a fortnight ordered him to be imprisoned for fourteen days with hard labour. Edward George, of Cartlett Kilns, was charged with being drunk and riotous at Cartlett on the night of the 16th instant. The defendant (who pleaded guilty) was fined 2s, and costs 5s 6d; in default 01 payment in a fortnight fourteen days' hard labour. ASSAULT. Martha Griffiths, late of Bridge Street, was charged with assaulting George Thomas, of Barn Street, on the 11th instant. The defendant did not appear, and it was stated that she had left the town. The offence was proved, and their Worships ordered the defendant to pay a tine of 10s and costs, and in de- fault of payment, to be imprisoned for one month with hard labour. UNWHOLESOME MEAT. Caleb Wails, butcher, of Spittal, was charged by Mr Superintendent Cecil with having unlawfully in his pos- session, and exposed for sale, the carcase of a calf, which was unfit for human food. Complainant deposed: I am sanitary inspector for the borough of Haverfordwest, Oil Saturday last I visited -:=-- =. 'I d1!I tie defendant's of all in the Haverfordwest Market, and? there saw a carcase of a calf cut up into four quarters, and' exposed for sale. Considering it unwholesome, I seized1 it, and took it before the magistrates,-Capt Butler, Mr Rowe, and Mr llar/ord,—who ordered it to be destroyed. In my opinion, the calf was three or four days old. The defendant said the calf was a fortnight old, and was good enongh for any one to eat. He conld have eaten it himself, and much worse meat was brought to Market by other persons. He was bound to bring that kind of meat for the poor who could not afford to buy better. Mr Rowlands asked what price per pound lie had for such meat. Defendant replied that he sold it for about twopence per pound. Mr Rowlands enquired whether he considered the meat he sold for twopence per pound was fit for human food. Defendant said that it was good enough for the poor, who were glad to get it. Mr Harford remarked that the Bench were determined that he should not sell such meat in the borough market. His Worship said th&t the Bench had made up i minds to punish every person who was brought beforo them and found guilty of offences of that kind. This was the first case which had been brought before them under the Act of Parliament, and they would for that reason deal leniently by him. The fine they had deter- mined to inflict was os, and they hoped that the conviction would be a caution to him and others. The Bench wished! the butchers to understand that the magistrates had the power to inflict a fine of JE20. or to commit to prison for a long time, and should a charge of the same kind be proved against any person, a very severe penalty would be imposed. The poor should also understand that bad meat was injurious to their health, and the medical officers of the London Board of Health bad given it as their opinion that unwholesome meat was the cause of ulcers and other wounds. STEALING A DOOR-A KING Itt TROUBLE. James Thomas, alias Jemmy King, of Shipman's Lanet was charged with stealing a door, the property of the Haverfordwest Corporation. Supt. Cecil, surveyor to the Corporation, deposed tbafc a door was missed from the Corporation houses near the prisoner's residence, and that that produced was the one he had lost. Police Constables Morse and Harries deposed that tha door was found concealed in the prisoner's house. The prisoner (who denied the charge) elected to ba tried by a jury, and he was accordingly committed fair trial at the Quarter Sessions. He was admitted to bail. THE mnaANCR REMOVAL ACT. John Canton, of Freystrop, owner of some cottages near tho Cattle Show Yard in Hatber Lane, was summoned for not having sufficient drains on his premises. The defendant denied his liability, alleging that it was the duty of the Gas Commissioners to provide the drains. The Bench said they could not entertain any ques- tions between the defendant and the Gas Commissioners* and adjourned the case for three WEEKS, to allow him tima to coubtruct the necessary drains; the Bench also stated that if the drains were not constructed, they should direct Mr Cecil, the Inspector of Nuisances, to do so, and charge the expense against him. NON-PAYMENT OF POOR RATES. George Thomas, of the Rising Sun, Saint Martin's, was summoned by Mr G. E. Warlow, assistant overseer for that parish, for non-payment of poor rates. The case was adjourned for a week.

TENBY. LECTURB.-On Tuesday last the Rev. E. Griffiths gave his lecture on I George Stephenson,' (which was postponed from Good Friday last, on account of the disorderly con- duct of several parties who were present at the tea meeting of that day). The lecture was well attended and listened to with great attention. We are pleased to inform our readers that Mr Elliott Galer and Miss Fanny Reeves are about to visit Tenby and give their popular entertainment 'Cousin Katy,' and The Haunted Mill,' at the Gate House Assembly Rooms. From what we have heard we may heartily recommend a visit to their entertainment. Sr. MARY'S CHURCH.—Another portion of St. Mary's Church is now being re-pewed, and some of the fine old arches scraped clean from the abominable whitewash which, by its accumulations year after year, has so long defaced them. The work of restoration and improvement. will go gradually on till the church will form a centre- piece well worthy of the pretty town in which it occupies so prominent a position. Best of all the work is being carried on without the church being put into debt. Voluntaryism is in this case completely trium- phant. As one means of obtaining funds for present and projected alterations, a bazaar will be held during the season, and we believe very many ladies of the town and neighbourhood are already taking a part in prejuuing for it. We wish them every success.

THE FUTURE OF TENBY. Respectfully dedicated to the Mayor of that town* Nestled among old Cambria's rocks, Inside a fairy little bay, With cliffs 'gainst which the white surf lnocks From morning's dawn till close of day There stood, in years long since gone by, A fisher-peopied little town, Where men and boys did constant ply Their oars all day, both up and down That bay of which before I spoke, Nor at dark night did scarce one cease His toil, and still their voices broke The dark'ning shadows' solemn peace. Long years have rolled away since then; Changed is the aspect of the tOWD The shore then trod by fishermen Now's swept by many a silken gown. For Tenby now's a watering-place, And sought by people of renown, And city belles it's streets do grace, And M.P.'s fresh from London's town. And Tenby's star shall still arise, And high-born dames shall pace it's shore. In sheen of hues that match the skies, And listen to the ocean's roar. And Tenby's praises shall be sung, And lauded high in poet's measures, Mellow and sweet as bells when rung By practised hands, and-like rich treasures- Meet to be locked in casket rare, Formed of scarce woods and decked with gold And looked at oft, and touched with care And safe in shelt'ring covering rolled. And soon, in midst of Tuder Square, A marble effigy will gleam! Albert the Good' shall figure there In marble white, and fit doth seem This snowy hue, emblem of one 'Gainst whose pure name no soil doth lie; And who, when his short course had run Triumphant soared beyond the sky! St. Mary's Church, that ancient pile, Beneath whose stones do calmly sleep Miny, who once did pace the aisle, Now mouldering in the charnel deep. Within those walls have knelt in prayer Many, who long since took their flight From earth, and who one day will wear Angelic robes of spotless white. Their monuments alone remain, Mute warnings of our mutual fate; For all shall to the dust again Return, the Judgment to await. But stay! but stay my pen doth scribble on Like men who in a race do run: Kind reader, I'll but trespass 'pon Your time a moment, and I've dontL I will but say this once again, i:, That Tenby's fame shall reach the skies! Higher and higher, like wind o'er rain: Poor me may sink; but it must rise I" — ANON.

PEMBROKE PEMBROKE FARMERS' CLUB.-The quarterly meeting of this society will be held at the Lion Hotel, Pembroke. on Saturday, the 7th day of May, 1864. The ordinal will take place at three o'clock in the afternoon. SUDDEN DEATHS OF GEORGE DUNN, ESQ., AND MAJOR LEACII, OF CORSTON.-A sudden and heavy gloom has been cast over this locality by the sudden, and almost simultaneous death of two influential gentlemen. George Dunn, Ebq., of Welson House, breathed his last on the 19th instant, after a brief illness of a few days only. H, was a county magistrate and chairman of the Pembroke Board of Guardians. His death has caused a sad blank and his loss will be felt for a long time. He was a staunch supporter of improvements in agriculture, which he had consistently advocated at the quarterly meetings of the Pembroke Farmers' Club, of which he had been a mem- ber since its establishment in 1817. The other gentleman alluded to is Major Leach, of Corston, who died awfully sudden, at Orielton, while walking in the garden, on the 23rd instant. The deceased officer was deservedly esteemed by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance: he was a kind neighbour and a true friend, and of him it may be truly said-* He left few his equal.'
