By F. B. COURTBNAY, And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the Cure of Strictures of the Urethra. " This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec.

SPAIN AND' MOROCCO. (From the Times' Special Correspondent) GIBRALTAR, DEC. 9. There being nothing going on in front of Ceuta, nor likely to be with the weather that prevailed, I ran over here on the 6th in quest of some campaign ing necessaries. " Ran" is not the word ; I should rather say crept or crawled. You in England, who see by the map that Ceuta is only some 15 miles from Gibraltar, more or less, imagine, I dare say, that one steps backwards and forwards, as you do from Dover to Calais. I beg to undeceive you. There is very little direct communication between the Rock and Ceuta. English vessels seldom go, and, perhaps, would be looked suspiciously upon if their visits were frequent, owing to the belief in Spain that England favours Morocco. Spanish vessels go between Algesiras and Ceuta, and many things occur to delay their departure. Thus it was that on the 6th inst. the little Spanish armed" steamer Ceres, by which, through the kindness of .the Governor of Ceuta, I had an order for a passage, and on board of which I hurried soon after noon, lay till nearly 8 p.m. waiting for the commander in-chief's despatch. With only an auziliury screw, it was 11 before we got to Algesiras, and then my old friend the Health Committee kept as an hour or two, so that it was nearly 1 o'clock when we got ashore. Algesiras is only about five miles from Gibraltar, but the steamer is very capricious in its running; it is a long way round by the road, and a heavy boat, finding no wind, was 21 hours on the voyage. In short, judging by my own experience, I should be justified in saying that it takes 24 hours to get from Ceuta to Gibraltar. Such is not always the case, but it is likely to occur frequently. During the seven long hours that the little Ceres was rolling at her anchor in Ceuta bay we had the annoyance of seeing, first heavy black clouds gradually de scending and accumulating on the heights where the Spanish camp is pitched, and then a furious downpour upon our deck warned us that General O'Donnell's army was undergoing the unpleasant process of a drenching. Down it came, almost a sheet of water, and it must have been " hard lines" that night for the soldiers in their tanks d'ubri, which have proved, as I expected, totally insuffi cient as shelter at this season. Marshal O'Donnell may beat the Moors, although they are not foes to be despised, but will he succeed in vanquishing other more formidable opponents—the climate and weather, exposure, fever, and cholera ? I by no means wish to paint his prospects in black colours, but I cannot look upon them as brilliant. Almost every one I speak to, even the most sanguine, ex presses his regret that the expedition was under taken so soon. It was really hardly worth while, in order to flash off a little powder and drive away a few Moors on the Queen's Saint's-day, to begin before all was prepared. The French, experienced though they are in African warfare—or perhaps because they are so experienced—would certainly not have commenced with so little preparation. A vast deal remains to be organised, and some of the most indispensable things appear to be wanting, or at least not to be forthcoming at the right moment. Thus, in the little action, or rather skirmish, of the 3001 ult., I saw most of the wounded being carried down in blankets, instead of stretchers. The ground to be gone over was in great part very rough and declivitous, the bearers were slipping about, and every now and then had to deposit their uneasy burden, in order appa rently to rest and get a better grip. Fancy the misery , to the wounded men. Now, on that day there were only a few scores of men so seriously hurt as to require carrying. A great many of the slightly wounded walked in, with or without the aid of a comrade. Then there is not, or was not very lately, an advanced hospital or ambulance to send the wounded to for a first dressing. They have all to be carried into Ceuta. We must pre sume that better measures will have been taken be- fore the campaign seriously begins, and that various departments will have received organization and supplies which now appear deficient in both. And the friends, not only of the Spaniards but of the most common humanity, must desire that the wea ther may soon mend, so as to permit the removal of the army from their present station, where they cannot but sicken and die at this sea- son of the year, and with the exposure they under go to rain and cold. Indeed, if the bad weather lasts the position of the Spanish General will be a highly difficult ono. Without an improvement of a most decided nature he can hardly, one would think, attempt a serious movement. He must maintain his position before Ceuta, and the army will assuredly dwindle away rapidly from sickness. Were Ceuta a larger place, his wisest plan would, perhaps, be to go into winter quarters there, and wait a more favourable season for the campaign. But to cram his army and its followers into so small a town would be an invitation to disease. As to remaining where ho is, to do so much longer would be to dispirit and seriously weaken his army, whose health it is impossible to deny is already by no means good. Cholera, the offspring of misery and apprehension, is in its ranks, and if, as I was lately assured, it is by no means of the most malig nant kind, on the other hand the cases are too nu merous not to inspire uneasiness. Such, at least, was the state of things according to accounts I re ceived at the moment of my departure from Ceuta, and from officers whom I met on the passage. How far it may since have been aggravated by the continued bad weather I, of course, can only conjecture. Take 20,000 young men, who, although most of them from the lower classes of society, have always been accustomed to sleep with roofs over their heads, and place them suddenly upon a series of clay ridges with the sea on one side and a chain of mountains on the other, in the winter season, when violent winds prevail and heavy rains frequently fall—pack every three of them under a tente d'abri, into which the water flows, and through which the wind whistles ; keep them there night after night and week after week, with open air sentry duty for the chief variation of their monotonous life, and then wonder if they sicken and crowd the hospital. " To lie under those tents and in the open air is the same thing when it rains," a regimental officer said to me the other day; " you get,as wet in the tent as outside it." The fortunate few, the superior officers, staff, &c,, who have money and many servants, of course make themselves comparatively comfortable, but the bulk of the army must assuredly endure a great deal in its camp in front of Ceuta. And, notwith standing the high•sounding notes of enthusiasm and the promises of brilliant triumphs of which some of the Madrid papers are so lavish, I can po• sitively assure you that there are not a few who begin to cool upon the enterprise, in consequence of difficulties and hardships they had not antici pated, and that some who were most eager to get to Africa would now be just as glad to get back to Spain. At Malaga three weeks ago I heard an opinion expressed by some of the chiefs of that corps d'arrnee that the season chosin for this campaign was a pro pitious one, the soldier not having to fear heat. It is rather' singulerr that the Spaniards, who live so near to Africa, should have been so ignorant of its winter climate, should not have been aware that December in Northern Morocco is a month of storm and tempest, when violent winds often render the Straits unnavigable. Supposing O'Donnell's army marches to Tetuan, beats the Moorish force, that will doubtless give it battle on the road ; takes the place, and establishes itself there ; if a Levanter comes on to blow—and I have been assured by Eng lish naval officers well acquainted with these seas, that they sometimes prevail for weeks together, and not a ship can remain on that coast—all the supplies of the army will have to be sent from Ceuta, seven leagues!' over a roadless country, with an enemy on your flank. Why, at Italakleva we had but six miles, And everybody F knows the work it was to get up the necessary stores until the roads were made. Meantime the Moors, snug in their towns and villages, assemble where they please, without fear of attack or sur prise from an army that cannot, under present cir cumstances, venture far from the coast, and quietly watch their opportunity, while small bodies, and even the armed villagers, suffice to molest and harass the Spaniards, and keep them on a fatiguing qui wive. The expedition will be of great cost, and cannot be of large profit. It has been gone into with undue haste, and I hope, for the sake of many good friends in the Spanish camp, that it may not be repented at leisure. I found Gibraltar full of most astounding "shave? concerning what was going on at Ceuta. There is some individual of a very inquiring turn of mind, who sits up on the top of the rock with a telescope, and the things he thence descries are truly wonder ful. Half Gibraltar believed, apparently on his re port, that the Spaniards had suffered a great reverse, had been driven into Ceuta or into the sea; has] lost guns, and colours, and reputation. Another tale was—but I believe that was brought by some mer chant captain from Barbary—that there had been a severe action on the 2d inst. As to the cannon ades that have been heard, they are simply innumer• able. And even when you come from the spot where all these marvels are alleged to have taken place, and assure the Gibraltarines of their being pure inventions, many of them look at you doubtfully, not to say suspiciously, so strong a hold has the fiction taken of their credulity. I presume the Moors have their own way of relating the inci dents of the war, and their version of them may easily arrive here by vessels coming from Moorish port:, That accounts differing from the truth, and less unfavourable to the Moors than the glow ing Spanish narratives of recent skirmishes, should prevail here, will doubtless be taken by the Spani ards as fresh proof of English sympathy with. Mo rocco, just as the Gibraltar Chronicle, which is in the habit of publishing, to the best of its infor• mation, both sides of the question, has been nick named by a Madrid journal " the semi-official Gazette of the Emperor of Morocco." For truth's sake, and. to set the matter at rest, I may here broadly state that in all the affairs that have as yet taken place (those of the 25th and 30th of Novem- 1 ber, and two or three smaller skirmishes) the advant age has remained with the Spaniards. On the 25th the Moors were very daring, and appear to have pressed them hard, and to have made desperate attempts upon their guns, but they were finally routed with, as I am assured, and have no reason to doubt, very considerable loss, that of the Spaniards being, I believe, somewhere about 400 killed and wounded: Now, as to the tales one also hears in Gibraltar of the slaughter of thousands of Moors, and which I suppose are intended as a set off to the fables unfavourable to the Spaniards, they are scarcely worth alluding to. There have been no battles yet, consequently no such slaughter. There have been skirmishes, one of which may be said to have assumed *the proportions of a com bat or little action. The aggression has been for the most part on the side of the Moors. The Spaniards, in fact, may be considered to be at present standing on the defensive, waiting until circumstances permit them to prosecute the offen sive purpose with which they have come to Africa. If from Ceuta we are able to contradict the false reports that may obtain currency in Gibraltar re specting the Spanish army, on the other hand we know little there about the proceedings of the Moors, with the exception of those in our front and just around us, and we have rather to look hither for such information. According to the reports current on the Rock, the Moors muster in great force and are eager tc do battle with the infidel. The sum mons of the Emperor of Morocco, the appeal to re ligious fanaticism, and the increase of pay have all had their effect, and there can be no question that the forces which will be opposed to the Spaniards are, numerically, enormously superior to them. Ido not vouch for the accuracy of the figures, but I am told of upwards of 100,000 foot and 30,000 horse. This does not seem improbable in a warlike population, nor would it surprise me to hoar of even larger numbers. Persons who have been lately and fre quently in Morocco express their conviction that the Moors will fight desperately under the influmee of fanaticism, and of that utter contempt of death which is ono of their well-known characteristics. With regard to the armament and equipment of the bulk of their army, it is difficult to obtain posi tive information. The chief arm both of infantry and cavalry seems to be the espingarda, or long musket, of which some handsome specimens hoe already been taken, and are now in the Spanish camp. Au English officer lately in Morocco, fetch ing away British subjects, tells me he saw some of their cavalry with bayonets fixed to the end of their guns, which thus are converted into lances of con siderable length. The same authority, which I con sider a good one, expressed confidence in the bra very of the Moors, but said that good European infantry ought to march through them in the plains, both horse and foot. The question is, whe ther the Spanish infantry will prove good enough to do this ; whether those young soldiers have nerve and resolution sufficient to withstand without flinch ing or confusion the fierce onset of those wild des peradoes of the desert, and to receive them with a close fire and a firm, unbroken line of bayonets. A fresh east wind is blowing in the Straits, and, according to all appearances, the weather on the other side continues bad. The Gibraltar Chronicle of the 10th inst. pub lishes the following despatch from the Moorish Minister for Foreign Affairs, which has been trans mitted for publication to various English and foreign journals : "COPY OP A DESPATCH PROM THE MOORISH MINISTER SIDI MOHAMED EL KATIE TO HER BRITANNIC MA- JESTY'S CHARGE D'AFFAIRES IN MOROCCO.

ILLUSTRIOUS AND TALENTED FRIEND JOHN HAY DRUMMOND HAY, ESQ., C. 8., HER BRITANNIC MAJESTY'S CHARGE D'AFFAIRES AND CONSUL GENERAL. "We pray the Omnipotent for his welfare, 6 i We beg to inform you that we have received a printed copy of a letter addressed by the Spanish Minister to the Representatives of the Foreign Powers at the Spanish Court, dated the 29th of October last, in which mention is made of the questions pending between us and the Spanish Government before the declaration of war, as likewise about the Riff affair, a subject not mentioned by us in our letter dated 27 Rabea let, which we addressed to the representa tives of the foreign Powers resident in this empire. For this reason we address this present letter, to give you a just and truthful aecount of what has passed relative to the sub ject, begging that you will be pleased to lay it before your Government; likewise, we request that your Government will at the same time be pleased to communicate it to the other rcspective Governments, as at the present time all the representatives of other foreign Powers are absent, except yourself, and we are unable to address them directly. " The following is ajust and truthful account of the Riff question:— " The reason that we did not mention the Riff question in our letter of 27 Rabea let, addressed to the representa fives of the foreign Powers in this empire, was because we had no remarks to make upon it, as we had arranged and settled all disputes on this matter with the Spanish repre sentative since the month of August last, and we had made a treaty of peace on the subject, and it can be proved that in the correspondence between us and the Spanish represen tative no mention is made of the Riff question; and we are very much surprised that the Spanish Minister should state that the principal motive of the war originated from the Riff question. We ourselves were not going to make mention to the representatives of foreign Powers of a ques tion already settled and concluded; but now, seeing that the Spanish Minister has mentioned the subject, alleging that a great prejudice arises to all nations from the acts of the Ruffians, therefore we wish to explain the affair with all simplicity and exactitude; and you and the representatives of other foreign Powers resident in the empire are well aware of the injustice of the accusation on this subject. Yon must know that Tour years "previous to this date the Ruffians who inhabit Kaileire4Cape Tres Foreabl . .had been occupied in piracy for snore than 30 years, and had attacked with their' boats 20 veaseli, /Is you will no doubt ascertain 4rom documents in your Consulate ; but it is now four *ears that we have no knowledge of any vessels whatever having been attacked either by the Riffians or by any ono else belonging to our empire. Our Lord Mulay Abderha man—may his soul rest in peace l—always felt great sor row at these wickedacts of the Riffians, and he did all he could to put an end to these piracies ; but, as the people inhabit a difficult mountainous country, they would not obey their Sovereign ; and whether it happened that the Riffians of Kalhiya committed piracy on any foreign vessel, and its nation communicated to us its desire to go and punish them for their wicked acts, we did not prohibit them, but we were glad that these piracies and all evil deeds should be put an end to. You are aware that four years ago the Ruffians of Kalhiya took an English vessel, a French vessel, and likewise a Spanish falucho. Through the steps ' taken by our Lord Mulay Abderahman (may his soul be in glory I), with the aid of the Mirabout (Saint) Sidi Mohamed Elhady, their crews were liberated and restored to their country, in conformity with tho orders of the Sultan, when the English and French Governments claimed the value of their vessels. The English Government, through you, ad dressed to us at different times various letters giving us good counsel, and recommending the Sultan, for the good of thi s empire, to send an army to punish severely the acts of the wicked people of Kalbiya and bring them into sub jection. The Sultan (peace be with him I), taking into con sideration the good counsel offered to him about four years ago, twice sent an army in command of the Govemorof the Riff country, and severely punished -the offenders, and made them pay all they had robbed from the vessels, and also the sum of money claimed by the English and French Governments for these vessels. The Sultan also made arrangements with the chiefs of the Riff coast that they should be responsible for the future acts of their people, in order to put an end to tlAse piracies ; and from that date to the present time nothing more has been heard of their wicked acts. But the Spanish Government, knowing that their piracies have been stopped are still anxious to make other Governments believe that there still exists pirates on the Riff coast, and so make it appear that this war will be a great benefit to all nations. Why did they not at the time these piracies actually existed show their power to suppress them ? You are aware that the Spaniards in their possessions on the Riff coast, near Kal hiya, and with their coastguard, prohibited the Ruffians from carrying on their legal traffic with Tetuan and Tangier, even when piracy was abolished and the Ruffians were legally engaged in carrying merchandise from Tetuan and Tangier to their homes. But the Spaniards, although we were in amicable relations with them and in peace, unjustly threw themselves on their boats and took them as prizes. The Governor of the Spanish possessions near the Riff coast even wrote to us—which letter is still in our possession— and told us that the Ruffians did not commit any aggressive act against their possessions; but, nevertheless, the Spa niards have taken merchandise from the boats of the Ruffians to the value of 20,000 dole., the property of honest men en gaged in legal commerce, as we have before said, and they have remained with this property to the present day. They had likewise taken the crews and passengers of the boats and made them prisoners, and did not release them till several months after. The Spaniards likewise took a boat belonging to the Saint, the Mirabout Sidi Mohamed Elhady —a person who had greatly favoured the Spaniards in sav ing and liberating their subjects from the hands of pirates, notwithstanding the Moorish patron of this boat carried a pasiport or order from the Governor of those Spanish pos sessions ; but, in spite of all this, refused to release the boat or crew till the English Government interfered to ob tain the release of the boat so unjustly taken. We do not wish to continue the relation of other similar unjust actions which we have suffered. We cannot deny that part of the people of the Riff are wicked and heedless, contrary to our earnest desire, but they were irritated in their evil doings to other nations by the aggressive acts of the Spaniards towards them. When the Spanish Government claimed 2,000 dols. for the abovementioned falucho, which was wrecked on the Riff coast near Melilla and pillaged by the Ruffians, we do not concede to their demands, as in the treaty of peace existing between us it is stipulated that our Government does not hold itself responsible for the acts of the Riffians, who are not obedient to the commands of the Sultan ; and even if the Spaniards had to take upon them selves to punish them for their aggression, it would not in terrupt the amicable relations existing between the two Go vernments. The Spaniards several times had battles with the Ruffians, and we never complained of their doings, nor did we say anything when they were making prizes on the Riff boats by their coastguards when they pleased. For this reason, strictly adhering to the treaty, we do not think it is right that, after they have taken the law into their own hands, they should claim anything from our Lord the Sul tan. Although, in perfect justice the Moorish Government refused to pay the claim of 2,000 dole. for the falucho (the Spaniards having latterly repeated that claim), you accord ing to instructions received from your Government, at dif ferent times, asked us as a special favour and as an act of friendship, to concede and pay these 2,000 dole. to avoid questions and disputes ; we acceded to your request and counsel and paid the same, thus giving a proof of our wish to favour the Spaniards, although they had no right to claim according A* the treaty existing between us. We also, at your request and mediation, ceded a new line at Melilla. You are aware of the manner in which the Spanish representative, M. John Blanco del Vale, has treated with us, and the insulting language he has used to us on several occasions ; but, although we feel this sorely in our hearts, we allowed his discourteous language to pass without comment, and we endured everything in order to preserve friendship and harmony with the Spanish Go vernment, our neighbours, seeing that it is for the benefit of both that such friendship should exist between us. For this reason we suspect and believe that the Spanish Govern ment is not well informed upon these matters. but that it has been led by the equivocal language of its agent to be lieve things which have no existence in this empire, and the blame now lies upon the person who has been the cause of this war, as there is not the slightest occasion for it, as you yourselves are well aware. This empire was making considerable progress in its commercial relations with other Powers ; and, if the Spanish Minister wishes to allege that the Ruffians have been the cause of the war, why did not the Spanish Government send its troops and forces to the coasts of Riff? What motive have they for taking offen sive steps against our ports, which have not wronged any one ? But it is clear that the Spanish Minister twists his words and speaks unjustly. In the like manner with the Ceuta affair, all the world and all impartial people who have heard of the question know what we have written, and what they have written, respecting it ; everybody is perfectly aware and Imo ws that no piracy ever existed in our empire, exP :t p in t which e e o w a s e t h o a f v e rt b i e ff f . ore l t m i e fi n i o k n e e w d i a s s e awteollnkentrwanatmhat no m an-of-war vessel bearing the Moorish g tha on t th flag has sailed from our ports for more than 20 - years, and the two or three merchant vessels which carried the Moorish flag were equipped and manned by Europeans. With respect to what the Spanish Minister states in his letter of the 29th of October last, with reference to the Ceuta affair, we have no necessity to make any remarks about it in this letter, but refer to the correspondence, copies of which we have forwarded to the representatives o' foreign powers in our letter dated 27 ltabea, Ist. Any per son of ordinary talent who may read these writings will see that we have been treated unjustly. We likewise beg you will give your testimony to that effect to your Government, seeing that you have exerted yourself very much for the maintenance of peace, and that we have ceded at different times, in deference to you and your Government, the new claims put forward by the Spanish Government, and you very well know that we have conducted ourselves always with rectitude and justice in all we had promised in our interviews and letters; but the Spanish representative, as you are well aware, made declarations and promises both to us and to you, and afterwards retracted them as he thought fit, without truth or justice. You know how " In conclusion we beg to inform you that it is our inten tion to print and publish this letter through the medium of our friends in England and other parts of Europe, so that all the world may have a knowledge of the affair, and judge right from wrong. "Peace, 5 Juma Elul, 1273 (Ist Dec., 1850). " The servant of the Throne elevated by Gcd, " MOHAMED EL RATIB." The Gibraltar Chronicle of December 12, says —The whole of the Spanish invading army is at length concentrated at Ceuta, and its movements may soon be expected to disclose_ arshal O'Don nell's plan of campaign. Up to the present time the Spanish forces have been subject to a harassing species of warfare, which, added to their exposure under canvas during inclement weather, has pro duced many casualties in their ranks without lead ing to any real progress towards attaining the object of the expedition. On the landing of the first corps under General Echague, positions were taken up in front of Ceuta in the direction of Sierra Bullones, the Spanish advanced posts being about a league from Ceuta. The Moors then had in front of Ceuta a guard of only 200 men of the tribe of Angera to watch the operations of the Spaniards. For the first two or three days slight skirmishing along the front was the extent of the fighting. In the meantime the *hole of the Angora tribe, num bering_. about 1,500, with other tribes, making a total of about 5,000 or 6,000 had been assembling in the rugged slopes of the Sierra Bullones, and on the 25th attacked the Spanish front with great fury. They weregallantly repulsed but the casualties were heavy on both sides. The most reliable account we have received of this action from an eye-witn ess gives the Spanish - loss at between 73 and SO killed and from 500 to 600 wounded. On the 30th a second attack-was made and with results very similar to that .of the 25th. Again on the 9th we know that severe fighting was going on in the front during the whole day and that the wounded were being carried into Ceuta, but we have up to this present time received no trustworthy account of the probable loss on either side. The Moorish force has been daily augmented by fresh arrivals from the inte rior, and this last attack has probably been made by greater numbers than those engaged on the 25th and 30th. The Spanish troops having at the close of each day's' fighting remained masters of the ground, and being provided with artillery, the Moorish losses have no doubt been heavy. The nature of the ground is, however, favourable to the Moors. The thick cover of wood and bush which clothes the slope and ravines of Sierra Bullones, masks their operations till they make their rush forward, and screens them from the Spanish fire when they retreat. Private letters from the Spa nish camp evince an eagerness on the part of the writersto engage the Moors in a field where Euro pean tactics and discipline may have freer scope." BAST INDIA AND CTIINA MAILS. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's screw steamship Ceylon, Capt. R. W. Evans, arrived at Southampton yesterday morning with the heavy portion of the above-named mails, in charge of Mr. Fisher, of the General Post-office. She brought 96 passengers (47 first-class, 40 second, and 9 children), among whom was the Earl of Portarlingtom, from Gibraltar. The cargo comprised 1,412 bales and 114 cases of silk, 58 packages of elephants' teeth, 158 boxes of oranges, 101 boxes, and 10 bags of almonds, 165 casks of dates, 85 cases of sum, 12 bags of nutmegs, and 159 packages of general mer chand;e ThaOeylon left Alexandria en the 6th inst., Malta the 10th, and Gibraltar the 14th. She experienced very strong head winds from Alexandria to Malta, thence to Gibraltar fine weather, along the coasts of Spain and Portugal to Cape Finisterre very strong head winds, across the Bay of Biscay vari able winds from north-west to north, and up Chan nel north-east winds. At Alexandria were the usual Egyptian squadron and the French war steamer Sentinelle. Her Majesty's ships Hibernia, Renown, Racoon, Argus, Scourge, Osprey, and Intrepid were at Malta. Her Majesty's ships Marlborough, Orion, Bruns wick, Neptune, Doris, and Mohawk were lying at Gibraltar, and five French line-of-battle ships. The screw steam corvette Scylla left for Malta, with the steam dredger in tow, on the night of the 12th, and the Firebrand returns to England. The Vul ture was under orders to tow as far as Oran the vessel chartered by the Hebrew Committee for the conveyance of the poor Jews who desired to emi grate to Algeria. "We understand (says the Gib. raltar Chronicle of the 13th) that the vessel carries upwards of 200 men, women, and children, of those who have been encamped on the North Front since their arrival here from Barbary, and that they will embark to-day from the new stone jetty." On the Sth inst. Captain F. A. Campbell took his leave of the officers and ship's company of her Majesty's steamer Vulture, which vessel he had commanded for three years and a half. Be fore leaving he addressed his old shipmates in a very feeling manner, and expressed his sorrow at parting with a crew of whom any captain might be proud. The officers and ship's company reciprocated the feeling, and, by repeated rounds of the most hearty cheering, testified the respect and esteem in which the gallant captain was held. Capt. Camp bell has taken command of her Majesty's ship Nep tune. The war steamer Tripoli, Conitaander Boyle, sent by the Sardinian Government to protect the inte rests and subjects of that nation during the conti nuance of hostilities between Spain and Morroco, arrived at Gibraltar during the night of the Bth inst. The Tripoli saluted the garrison at 10 a.m. on the 9th with 21 guns, and afterwards the flag of Vice-Admiral Fanshawe with 15 guns. These salutes were duly returned by the guns of the fortress and by those of her Majesty's ship Marlborough. The Peninsular and Oriental steamship Delta, Capt. Black, from Southampton on the 4th inst., arrived at Gibraltar on the 11th; she experienced a succession of heavy adverse gales on the outward voyage, and her machinery sustained some slight derangement, to repair which the Delta was de tained until 5 p.m. on the 12th, when she resumed her voyage to Malta and Alexandria. The British merchant steamer Gothenburg, Capt. J. Mullett, 10 days from London, with a general cargo, arrived at Gibraltar on the 11th. The ship Lisbon, from New Brunswick, bound for Hull, laden with timber, became waterlogged and was abandoned off Cape Finisterre.
