On bringing up the report of the address in reply to the Royal Speech, Mr. GREGORY drew attention to the blockade of the American ports, a subject which he contended was on the lips and in the minis of every one. During the recess he had written to Lord Russell on the subject and received a reply from his lordship to the effect that, with respect to whether the blockade, in the event of its not being efficien., would be recognised by the Government, he had given no instructions to Lord Lyons. His lordship said, also, that he believed there would be no difficulty in the mat ter with the Government of the United States. He (Mr. Gregory) was convinced that the blockade was a more paper blockade. He should take an early opportunity of bringing the whole question before the house, and if his figures were correct, it would be found that the blockade was not efficient. THE TRENT AFFAIR.

The motion was then agreed to, and, later in the evening, NI as read a first time.

By Dr. LAIIERT, 37, Bedford-square, London. Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh; Member of the Royal College of Surgeons Of England, &c. The above work contains most useful and interesting information on the physiological changes which occur in the Reproductive System during the periods of youth, puberty, and manhood ; and on the due attainment of that degree of functional vigour upon which the hopes of posterity depend. It also points out how all the attributes of Man hood can be preserved to an advanced period of life, flow they ara lest, and how they can be recovered. It is free from the gnu exaggerations, alarming descriptions, and dangerous retnidies so generally resorted to by persons, who, prac tising with false medical qualifications, inflict most serious injuries, and render judicious treatment frequently abortive. The Author is the only legally qualified practitioner whose name stands on the Medical Register (the only true test of medical qualification), who has been exclu sively engaged for a series of years in the treatment of the various functional disorders of the nervous and reproductive system, which, owing to the g,reat discoveries of modern science, are rendered subservient to a rational, simple, and easy mode of treatment.

During the day two rather suspicious looking men called, under pretext of seeing the curd, to ask him whether he would accept a part of the donation accorded to poor churches, and being told that the curd was absent, inquired very particularly whether he would return that night. They also asked permission to vi•it the church, but were refused. About midnight Mine. Chaumont heard some persons approach the back door and endeavour to open it, but as they could not do so, she heard one of them say, "Let us go to the window and I will get in by standing:on your shoulders." The housekeeper felt very much alarmed, the house standing at some little distance from the village, but she did not lose her presence of mind, and running down into the kitchen, armed herself with a thick stick and a spit. When she returned she found that the thief had broken a pane of glass, and was endeavouring to get through the window. Mme. Chaumont opposed him, but received several blows on the arm from a heavy instrument. She then made use of the spit. The first thrust was harm t allow hi m t o ge t i n .

The weapon was drawn out by his accomplice, and they made off. Mine. Chaumont then called for assistance, and several of the inhabitants of the village arrived. The for some little distance. spit was found in the garden, and traces of blood were seen At home for consultation daily from 10 till 2, and from 6 till 8, either personally or by letter.-37, Bedford-square. A General Court-Martial was held in the Victoria Library-room, Royal Barracks yesterday, for the trial of Capt. Robertson, 4th Dragoon Guards. The first charge against him is, in substance, that hav ing been publicly insulted by Colonel Dickson, and not having obtained an apology,he failed to comply with the 17th Article of war in not submitting the matter to be dealt with by the commanding officer of the regiment. The second charge is that Captain Robertson stated, in a letter t o M a j or -G enera l F ors ter, that he submitted his application to retire from the army by the sale of his comm i ss i on " en tirely through intimidation," he then well knowing the said statement to be false. The CHAIRMAN moved a resolution to the effect that the directors be authorised to borrow on mortgage, under the provisions of the Stockport, Disley, and Whaley Bridge Railway Extension Act, 1857, any sum or sums of money not exceeding in the whole £66,600. Mr. HOWARD seconded the motion, and it was carried. The meeting then separated. A captain of the 11th Hussars conducted Captain Robertson to the court. The President of the Court was Brigadier-General the Hon. A. Gordon, C. 8., and the other members were :—Colonel Phil pots, R,H,A. ; Lieutenant-Colonel Fitzwigram, 15th Hussars; Lieutenant-Colonel Beste, 86th Regiment; Lieutenant-Colonel Goodlake, Cold stream Guards ; Lieutenant-Colonel the lion. H. Monckton, 3d Hussars ; Lieutenant-Colonel Frazer, 11th Hussars; Major Reede, 14th Hussars; Major Hamilton, 87th R.1.F., Major Cobb, 87th R.1.F.; Major Newton, R.H.A. ; Major Arbuthnot, R.H.A,; Major Roe, Ist battalion 11th Foot ; Major Neville, ditto ; Brevet-Major C. Darby, 86th Regiment, officiated as Judge-Advocate. The official order from General Sir George Brown directing the holding of the Court having been read by the Judge-Advocate, that officer, by direction of the President, asked Captain Robertson if he ob jected to be tried by any of the officers named. Captain Robertson replied that he had no objec tion to make to any of the officers forming the Court. The President and members of the Court, as well as the Judge-Advocate, were then sworn in the manner prescribed by the Articles of War. The President then ordered the court to be cleared. At half-past 1 o'clock the court was again opened, merely to be adjourned until 2 o'clock. At 2 o'clock the Court reassembled, Sergeant . Sullivan being present. The several officers having answered to their names, the court was again cleared. In a few minutes the court was again opened. The President asked Captain Robertson if he had any papers to hand into the Court, upon which Captain Robertson handed in a document, which was read by the Judge-Advocate. It was a request to the Court to adjourn the trial till Monday next. His character and honour being at stake he had thought it right to engage professional assistance, and his counsel, Sergeant Sullivan and Mr. Tandy, could not attend till the day mentioned. The court was cleared in order to consider the application. On its being reopened the President informed Captain Robertson that his request was granted. The Court, however, could not hear counsel; the questions must be all put through Captain Robert son himself. The President intimated to the repre sentatives of the press that it was not us . ual to publish the proceedings of a court-martial till they had terminated, as ex parte statements might injur e the accused. The Court was adjourned till Monday morning. A little romance came before Judge Radcliff in the Consistorial Court yesterday. Mr. Alex. B. Slator, had property in the county Longford, worth £6OO a-year, now reduced by mortgages and other October and started last, forhe left Australia hie c h arg es to £ 447 . H e married while a miner, and h a s had three child ren b y his wife, of which two as estate, a w r i e fe s , ti a l n l living.and In children, apprentice in a merchant ship, leaving a power of attorney with his wife to enable her to recover .£l5O. a-year of the property in the event of his death. The Court was moved for an ll a owance of alimony to be secured out of the estate now. The Judge said he thought the cl • aims of a man's wife and chil dren were paramount, at least to whisky and cigar bills. He would, therefore, deal with the impug nant as if he were dead , and amount secured to her by the marriage settlement, —that is, £l5O a-year, and, in addition, £BO a-year for the maintenance of the two children. It may be remembered that on the 22d of May last a serious riot occurred at Milan, during which a large distillery in the suburb of Viarenna was gutted by the mob. Fifty-five persons were arrested, who have now been tried, and upwards of 30 of them have been condemned to various period of imprisonment. SINGULAR ACCIDENT.—A singular and fatal acci dent occurred two days since at Beauchamp (Loiret). As M. Saunirr, a miller of that place, was at work in his mill, he was alarmed by cries for help, and on running out he was amazed to see his shepherd boy and dog suspended to one of the sails of the mill, which was in rapid motion at the time, and bah were almost instantaneously thrown to the ground with great violence. The boy was so much injured that he died a few minutes afterwards, without being able to give any explanation as to the cause of the accident. The dog's leash was found tied round the boy's body, and it is supposed that the sails had either caught that or the boy's cloak, and taken them both up together, The Carnival season is proceeding gaily in the Eternal City. The Roman palaces are thrown open by their princely owners to the privileged classes, foreign and indigenous; the Piazza Navona,are crowded by their respective habitues. British and American visitors ftor all grades, from the Appole to dinn e r parties, tea fights, or state balls, much as if they and theatresosare flocking to each other's i were at home. E I V spApER r,. -„, ILLS AND TM A paper-book (No. 6) has been laid M,6C4,1 moat, containing the correspondence the Confederate and Federal steamers Nagviiin s r.nd Tuscarora, recently in the Southampton Waters. The communications and replies are forty. five in number, but we do not think that of the active correspondence between the 21st November when the Nashville arrived at Southampton, to the Ist of February, 1862, there is a letter of general interest. The proceedings in this affair were brought to a conclusion by the departure of the Nashville, followed, after the 24 hours' " law," by the Tusca rora. 'rho concluding summary is all we have space for : Earl Russell to Mr. Adams. Foreign-office, Feb. 1, 1862. Sir,—l have now the honour to send you a sum mary of the proceedings of the Board of Admiralty in regard to the Tuscarora and Nashville, in South ampton Water. I think you will see from this summary that her Majesty's Government have reason to complain of the conduct of the commander of the Tuscarora, as an attempt to carry on hostilities in the waters of a neutral. I have the honour also to enclose a copy of the London Gazette, containing the rules which I men tioned to you in a previous letter.—l am, Sir, (Signed) RUSSELL. Statement of Facts with regard to the Tuscarora, United States Vessel of War, and the Nashville, a vessel belonging to the so-styled Confederate States. Nov. 21, 1861.—Nashville arrived at South ampton, and taken into dock for caulking and other repairs. Dec, 15.—Tuscarora arrived, and anchored off entrance to river Itchen. Dec. 23.—Captain Patey reported no repairs had been made in Nashville beyond what wore abso lutely necessary, and that she had not been in any way equipped more completely as a man-of-war. Jan. 10, 1862.—Captain Patey reported that dockmaster at Southampton had on previous night found two officers (one with side arms), and three men belonging to Tuscarora under Graving Dock fence on pier between docks—they stated that they were stationed there by their captain's orders to watch Nashville, and to make a signal to their own ship should Nashville attempt to get under way. Dockmaster removed these persons. Jan, 10.—Captain Patey also reported that Tus carora had received 150 tons of coal, and had kept her :steam up since her arrival, with a spring on her cable apparently ready for sea. Jan. 11.—Captain Willcox, of her Majesty's ship Dauntless, stationed in Southampton Water, informed captains of Tuscarora and Nashville that he had observed preparations for their departure, and had instructions to prevent any hostilities in British waters, and brought to their notice that the law of nations requires that 24 hours should elapse before the departure of one belligerent ship from a neutral port in pursuit of another. Capt. Patey,.as senior officer at Southampton, also in formed captains of Tuscarora and Nashville that he received orders to detain one vessel until the other had 24 hours' start. Captains of two vessels answered they would conform to law; and Captain Craven, of Tuscarora, claimed right of free access to and egress from " waters of a nation believed to be in amity with the United States," trusting that strict impartiality would be observed between the two vessels. In reply, Captain Patey referred to fact of Captain Craven having sent officers and men into docks to watch Nashville, and also pointed out that a boat, apparently armed, from the Tus carora, had been observed pulling in and out of the Docks without landing during the nig • ht Captain Craven gave assurance that this would not be repeated. Jan. 13 . —Tuscarora left anchorage at 4 a.m., and proceeded to anchor one mile west of Calshot light-ship. Returned at 4 p.m. to former anchorage at entrance of Itchen river. Jan. 15.—Tuscarora at 2 p.m. weighed, and passed Calshot. Jan. I+ l .—At 2 p.m. returned to original anchorage. Jan. 20.—At 8p m. proceeded down Southamp ton Water, and anchored outside Calehot Castle. Jan. 22.—At 10 a.m. returned to anehorago at _ mouth of Itchen river. Jan. 25.—Capt. Patey reported Nashville coaled, and necessary repairs completed and Tuscarora ready for sea; also that, in conversation with him, Capt. Craven, of Tuscarora, had avowed that he would do his utmost to render rule as to 24 hours' start null and void, by constantly keeping up steam, and having slips on her cable, so that the moment Nash ville might move Tuscarora would precede her, and claim priority of sailing, returning again within 24 hours, and so actually blockading Nashville in a neutral port. Jan.26.—Under instructions Capt. Patey obtained written promises from captains of Tuscarora and Nashville not to leave their then positions without giving 24 hours' notice. Jan. 27.—1 n order to prevent any hostile proceed ings between the two vessels in British waters, a messenger was despatched in the morning to South ampton with instructions to Capt. Patey to require Nashville to depart by 12 o'clock at noon on Tues day, the 28th January, and Tuscarora on following day at same hour ; but at 1 p.m., and before re ceiving these last-mentioned instructions, Cap tain Patey telegraphed that the captain of the Tuscarora had notified to bim that that ship would put to sea on the following day, namely, on the 28th January, at 11 a.m. To this telegram an answer was at once sent that the Tuscarora was accordingly to be allowed to proceed first ; and under the circumstances, Capt. Patey did not think it necessary to acquaint the captain of the Tuscarora of the orders he (Captain Patey) received s q ubsequently ( the ship on to the q u efi hnt a Tee f su t ys e osh r uco n oatfuh o r oloawdnrmae deferpa reportedo f ho ne t r. h, departure, the up2na7brttyithlu)lre, 29th,ar- consequencet o Jan.o ap t 2s.—Captain Captain C o a f t a Patey a c t l i h e n a m o t or first fine day. Captain Patey, in answer, told Captain Craven that he saw nothing in the state of the weather to prevent Tuscarora proceeding, and requested she would lose no time in doing so, ob serving that, having received from Captain Craven a written notification of his intention to proceed on the 27th, at 11 a.m., he (Captain Patey) had not deemed it necessary to convey to Captain Craven the instructions he had received for Tuscarora to leave Southampton at noon on the 28th. Jan. 28.—Capt. Patey directed by telegraph not to take any steps, at present, to compel Tuscarora's departure. Jan. 29.—At 810 a.m. Tuscarora proceeded down. Southampton Water.

Admiralty, J an . 30 , 1 862. f 2 p The little Church of the Carmelites in the Rue d'Enfer has just undergone a complete restoration. Ac. cording to tradition this church was founded by Robert, son of Hugh Capet, who built it over a crypt which had served as the residence of St. Denis, while he was engaged in preaching to the Parisians. This subterranean chapel was still in existence at the close of the last century, the entrance to it being under the high altar. When the Car melites came from Spain and settled on this spot in 1604, Queen Mary of Medici granted them her protection, and had their church magnificently decorated by Philippe de Champagne. Among the works executed there by that artist was a fresco on the ceiling, a wonderful specimen of` foreshortening. Christ between the Virgin and St. John appeared as it were on a perpendicular plane. A great number of valuable paintings were afterwards presented to this church, among which were a Magdalen penitent and a Christ in the Wilderness, by Lebrun, and Christ appear -1 a ide G r yearsrng s (from 1674 to t r l u 7 s l h o e ) s ing to the three Marys, by Lahyre. These three pieces are now at the Louvre. The Convent of the Carmelites was the retreat of Mlle.

REVIEWS ON TTIE WORK. "Curtis on Manhood.—This is a truly valuable work, and hould be in the hands of young and old."—" Sunday Times," 3d March, 1856. "The author has conferred a great boon by publishing this little work, in which is described the source of those diseases which produce decline in y ou th or more f requ ently premature old age."—" Daily Telegraph," March 27, 18519 . " This work, which for twenty years has stood the test of professional criticism and empirical hostility, treats in a plain an d s ympathising manner on the various disqualifications impediments arising from nervous excitement and de bility and to invalids suffering. from youthful errors and it will be found valu a bl e and useful.

A memorial in favour of this line, addressed to Lord Pal merston, has been placed in the Liverpool Exchange, where it has been numerously and influentially signed. The memorial represents the desirableness of completing a line of railway between Halifax and the Grand Trunk Railway, and states that the project was favourably re ported on by Lord Durham, then Governor-General of British America, so long ago as 1838. Of this line 370 miles have already been all but completed; and the memo rialists ask for Government aid to construct the remainder, as recent events have shown the immense importance of such a line as a defensive measure, and as such the memo rialists claim for it Imperial aid. RAILWAY BILLS. Yesterday the examining barristers of the Houses of Lords and Commons decided that the Standing Orders were complied with in the following cases : BANSTEAD AND Ersom DOWNS.—For making a railway from the Sutton station of the Croydon and Epsom Railway to Banstead and Epsom Downs, and to raise for the purpose £85,000 in shares and £28,300 upon loan. KENT COAST.—To construct railways or tramways at Ramsgate, and to empower the Board of Trade, if they think fit, to transfer the harbour of Ramsgate to the Kent Coast Company, with power to raise £160,000 on shares, and borrow 863,000. BRISTOL PORT.—For a railway from the port of Bristol to the old channel at the mouth of the river Avon, and a pier there, the estimated cost of the railway being £85,000 and of the pier £40,000, with power to borrow £41,000. SPALDING AND BouitN.—For a railway between these places and a capital of £130,000. The other Bills disposed of were the Caledonian (devia tions) ; Londonderry and Coleraine (arrangements with creditors). The railway Bills declared not to have complied with the Standing Orders were the Bristol and Exeter, Chard and Taunton, the Hatfield and St. Albans, and Cowbridge. The Ledbury and Glocester Railway Bill was withdrawni. MEDITERRANEAN EXTENSION TELEGRAPH. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes terday at the London Tavern, Mr. H. Moor in the chair. The report stated that the receipts for messages, as com pared with the previous hall-year, hal more than doubled, while the expenditure had not materially increased, Since the opening of the Alexandria line in November last the traffic had greatly augmented, and was still increasing. The directors had experienced considerable difficulty in se curing a systematic transmission of telegraphic communica tion through the Italian kingdom, but there was a proba bility of their efforts being successful, the Italian Govern ment having entered into arrangements which. when com pleted, would, it was believed, secure the object in view. The attempt made by Messrs.lGlasse, Elliot, and Ce., for the restoration of the old submarine cables failed, and there was now little hope of success in that direction. Their new cables, the one connecting Malta and Sicily, and the other connecting Corfu and Otranto, continued to work most efficiently. The directors had lately received information through the company's agent at Turin that it was the im mediate intention of the Italian Government to lay a sub marine cable connecting Sicily with Sardinia, by which means the route via Naples, Rome, &c., which had been the cause of so much difficulty and delay, would be avoided, and a regular and more speedy communication be obtained. The directors confidently hoped that the operations of the company for the current half-year would enable them in August next to declare a dividend on the original shares. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said the sum of £2,095 deposited at Messrs. Overend and Gurney's was to provide for claims on the part of other companies. The company was progressing satisfactorily ; the receipts for messages had more than doubled, while the expenditure had not materially increased. The lines were
