[ADVERTIS E MENT.] - 1 - lolloway's Ointment and Pills.— A lways wanted.—Every man, woman, and child endures a certain amount of sickness during life—for the abbreviation of which Holloway's medicaments were propounded, and admirably have they effected their purpose. They are easy, safe, and certain. They shorten the sufferings and lengthen the lives of the sick. The ointment is not only useful in outward injuries, sores, and blemishes, but when well rubbed upon the skin it penetrates internally, and acts most wholesomely on the internal organs, both as regards their nutrition and secretion. Whether the complaint be gene ral or local, Holloway's ointment and pills invariably prove beneficial. They purify the blood, and regulate all erro neous action, whereby the whole constitution is greatly henefittecl, A" , ^ (EVcq..t.l- qqAikac.t. • TEE _REINFORCEMENTS- s a S We have received news of the safe arrivt4.et Quebec of the troops which embarked; n the Persia; and at Halifax of those which embeiked in ,t s lin Australasian.

She had also on board seven officers and 254 men of the Royal Artillery, together with a battery of six Armstrong guns, with their whole train, consisting of 16 carriages. The Australasian also carried out 6,000 stand of arms, in addition to those borne by the troops, together with4oo,ooo rounds of ball cartrid b . The Rifle battalion went out under the command of Lord Alexander Russell, brother of Earl Russell, and among the officers of the corps were Major the Hon. J.

The huge works at Tregantle are gradually ap proaching completion. Those who have travelled on the Cornwall Railway know that the line is carried for the four or five miles from Saltash to St. Germans along the banks of Lynher, and for the defence of this river the Screasdon fort is in course of construction. By the Lynher, or St. Germans river, running as it does to the Hamoaze, a penin sula is formed, the neck of which from the river to the shores of the Channel in Whitsand Bay, is about two miles in breadth, and it is across this that the new forts are in course of construction, Screasdon on the river, and Tregantle on the sea side. Tregantle, by far the most formidable, is about 400 feet above the level of the sea; on one side the blue waves of the English Channel break in cease less surges upon the sands of Whitsand Bay; on the other are the fields and cultivated land lying be tween the fort and the river; and facing the fort is that hive of busy bees, Devonport dockyard, from which Tregantle is about 6,000 yards distant ; the men-of-war at anchor in Hamoaze, and the steam factory of Keyham are also within command. The advantages of Tregantle as a position of de fence, with regard to Plymouth and the Govern ment works at Devonport, are seen at a glance. The guns to be mounted will be of the heaviest metal, and will command every conceivable ap proach to the harbour. Thick parapets of earth, of great solidity, support the batteries, and the prin cipal work is protected by a deep ditch, the escarp and count erscarp being walled with heavy masonry. The barracks are protected by the battery, and are replete with every arrangement requisite to secure the comfort of the soldiery. The walls are of great thickness, and notwithstanding the fact that we live in a day of improved and long-range artillery, from the size of the blocks of which the barrack walls are constructed, they appear sufficiently mas sive and strong to withstand any ordinary bombard ment. They aie situated in the rear of the artifi cial glacis, where the natural formation of the hill necessitated its being thrown up, and, being upon a lower level than the battery, are efficiently pro tected by artillery. The large piles of bricks in and around the fortifications indicate that the bar racks, the water tanks, the stable, and, in fact, every room, are intended to be bomb proof, through the means of very thick arches. The Keep, an immense and apparently very strong mass of ma sonry, stands between the battery and the barracks. It will mount two tiers of guns, the upper elevation surmounting the fort itself, and commanding the country, whilst the lower range is casemated, Although the highest point of the fort is at a dis tance of about 2,000 feet from the cliff which over looks Whitsand Bay, the arrangements of the engineer will render it impossible to pass between the fort and the sea. To effect this essential object the ground in front of the fort has been cleared of all irregularities. IN here mounds have interposed a surface to obstruct the fire they have been reduced to a level, and the hollows have been filled up. Thus have the many acres in front of the fort been made to form an incline, which in case of attack would be swept by guns in the recesses of the fort. The conduct of the works is under the immediate superintendence of Colonel Owen, C. 8., of the Royal Engineers. The erection of these fortifications gives employment to a great number of labourers and masons, who, in their wooden shanties, enjoy them selves in the eventide of winter, each after his own fashion, amid the wind and cold inseparable from this bleak and exposed part of old Cornubia.— Western liforninq News. THE ARRIVAL OF A FEDERAL WAR STEAMED A. 7 SOUTHAMPTON. SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY. The Tuscarora, one of the new screw corvettes built for the Federal navy, arrived in the river this afternoon, about half-past 3 o'clock, from New York. She left that port on the 15th ult., and had a very rough passage across the Atlantic, and put into Fayal for coals, sailing thence eight days since. From Fayal she has had fine weather. The Tus carora is commanded by Captain T. Augustus Craven, and her officers and crew number about 200 in all. She mounts nine heavy guns, two of them the famous 11-inch columbiads (both on pivots), six broadside guns, and a rifled Parrot gun on the fore castle. The corvette is a smart-looking vessel, of 1,200 tons burden, and barque-rigged. She is just built, and only arrived at New York from Philadel phia on the 9th ult. It is understood that her mission in these waters is specially to look after the Nashville, and gene rally to protect the interests of Federal shipping. The Nashville remains in dock and her future move ments are of course kept profoundly secret. She is coaled and ready for sea, and it was rumoured this morning that she was going out of dock during the day into the river, but up to this time (5 p.m.) she is lying quietly in her berth. Whether she will now, keep her quarters, a close prisoner, keenly watched by the Tuscarora, until the conflict is over, or whether on some favourable opportunity she will venture to " run the blockade" and escape, time only can determine. By desire of the Emperor Napoleon the founda tion of a chair of homoeopathic medicine at the faculty of Paris has again been brought forward. The medical curl s has however so energetically pronounced itself several times against this system, that it is hardly likely the Government will dare to oppose that body very strenuously.
