It is not with such erections that we pretend to cope.

IT having been brought to the notice of the Secretary of State for India, in Council, that inconve nience may result from the payment of so large an instalment as 50 _per cent. of the Indi an Lo an o n the 3d of May, and also that Tuesday, the 19th instant, is observed as a holiday by a Portion of the community, the following - amended advertise ment is issued in substitution of that dated the 11th in stant : The Secretary of State for India, in Council, gives notice that he will he prepared, at or before twelve o'clock, on THURSDAY, the 21st instant, to receive tenders for a loan of £7,000,000, for seven years, on secu rity of debentures (transferable either by the delivery of the debentures respectively, or by deed), to be issued under the provisions of the Act 22d Victoria, can. 11, such deben tures to be of the respective amounts of £l,OOO and £5OO, and to bear interest at the rate of four per cent. per annum, pay able by coupons attached, half-yearly, at the T reasur y a t thi s Office, on the 16th August and the 16th February in each Year. _ Holders of the debentures will have the option of claiming payment at par at the expiration of five years, from tke 16th August next, on giving one year's previous notice.

The obiect of this Companyis to continue energetic work ings on this valuable mineral property, which were suspended in consequence of the monetary panic and altered circum stances of sev era l of the principal shareholders of the old Devon Kapunda Company, after an expenditure of upwards of £20,000 in the erection of a plant of most superior machi nery, all necessary buildings, and the general development of the property, all of which are available to the present Com pany. The steam engine is of 40-inch cylinder, with 10 feet Stroke. Apart from these facts, it is no evidence of demerit that a mine should cease to be worked by the original adventurers and, indeed, there are but few that have been commenced and carried on by the same association of shareholders to a suc cessful and profitable issue. The Devon Great Consols, South Caradon, Phcenix, and most of the leading mines in the two western counties of Devon and Cornwall have yielded the returns of profit to others than those who first worked the respective properties. This property is most advantageously situate on the banks of the Tamar, in the parish of South Sydenham, about l mile north of the celebrated Devon Great Consols Mines, which are now giving to the shareholders about 1.30,000 annually. It is in one of the richest and most extensive metalliferous dis tricts in the kingdom. Two of the lodes have been wrought to the depth of 50 fathoms below the adit level, and will form a junction a few fathoms east of the present workings, where there is every reasonable prospect of a good deposit of ore being met with. The lode in the end of the eastern drivings on the south lode is of an extraordinary character, is a strong masterly lode, containing copper ore of superior quality, and shows evidently that the workings are nearing a very im- Portant deposit. There are three shafts sunk, the engine shaft that is down to the 34 fathom level below the adit, the whim shaft 50 fathoms, and the trial shaft 20 fathoms below the adit. The property extends over an era of 130 acres, being about 700 fathoms in length, and about 300 fathoms in breadth. Many tons of rich silver lead ore have been raised at the Upper levels, but at the deeper levels the general character of the lode is changed from lead to copper ore. This altera tion in the character of the lode is very important, and cor responds exactly with the change in the stratification, thus affording ample proof that there can be no reasonable doubt of the success of the undertaking. Mr. J. H. Hitching has either introduced, or recommended by reports, most of the mines in the Tavistock district which have proved remunerative, and the confidence of this gentle- Man in the Devon Kapunda is shown by his adhesion to the enterprise. Captain Joseph Cock, the agent of the mine, reports, under date of March 23, 1859, that " The 50 fathom level, which is in course of driving east on the south lode, appears to be changing for the better. The ground is moderately easy and favourable. The lode is about n feet wide, composed chiefly of spar and mundic, intermixed With good stones of copper ore, a box of which I have for warded. Its indications and character are highly encou raging. This level has been extended on the course of the lode for many fathoms, and is now approaching an important point, that i s , th e junction of two lodes. According to the present bearings of these lodes there are probably about 12 to 15 fathoms more to drive before reaching the junction. I consider there is a fair and reasonable prospect of a good de groisviat,of g i e being met w ith a t th e j unct i on. Th roug h ou t th e e the tiiper lode presents a much b e tt er a pp earance than in evels. A deeper level will no doubt lead to valuable veries• There are other parts of the mine of a promising cnaracter, and there is scarcely any doubt but that it will prove a profitable and lasting,. mine.'

" 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.

By the most obvious indication it admits of being shown that the Electrical and Nervous energies are identical ; hence, that when the latter fails, the former can take its place, and that when, from irre gularities of any kind, the nervous system has become debili tated, paralysed, or exhausted, and the patient brought to a condition little short of total prostration, then by the action of Electricity, imparting certainty and efficacy to medical treatment, he can be re-invigorated, and his health re-esta blished to a degree almost warranting the designation of SECOND LIFE.

For the sake of Reform, John Bull loses reforms.—Pwneh. The compensation awarded by the Metropolitan Board of Works for a baker's shop and premises, at Strat ford, through which the proposed great Metro po lit an sewer will pass, amounts to £5,500. W e un d erstan d the w h o l e o f the claims were definitively arranged. on Tuesday last, as portions of the property will be immediately required for I the purpose mentioned, THE ARMY. The Duke of Cambridge, accompanied by General Airey and Major Jervois, arrived at Portsmouth early on Wednesday morning in the Admiralty yacht Fire Queen, and en landing immediately proceeded to the inspection of the breakwater and fortifications, now in rapid progress of construction on the Herne Heights, contiguous to the harbour. Major Whittingham, the commanding Royal Engi neer of the district, attended his Royal Highness over the works. After a rapid survey of the exten sive operations now going on, his Royal Highness took his departure, vta Weymouth for London by the mid-day train. Yesterday afternoon the military invalid and disabled troops who came home from China in the Princess Charlotte screw transport, arrived at Fort Pitt Hospital, Chatham, from Portsmouth. The Princess Charlotte brought home 215 naval and military invalids from China, including Royal Marines; seamen, Royal Artillery, Royal Engineers, medical staff, and a number of k Ick troops belonging to the 59th (Second Nottinghamshire) Regiment, now serving in China. The Persever ance embarked her invalids at Hong Kong on the 26th of November, and sailed two days after, the passage being a very tedious one. The steamer touched at Singapore, the Cape of Good Hope, and Ascension. At the Cape of Good Hope 30 invalids were taken on board, and also 30 invalids at Ascen sion. The mortality was very great during the voyage, no less than 48 deaths having occurred on board. The military invalids, who were under the command of Lieut. R. J. Spofforth, 59th Regt., and in medical charge of Dr. Smith, R.N., on their arrival at Fort Pitt were medically inspected by the staff at that establishment, when eight men were ordered to be taken into hospital for medi cal treatment, and the remainder forwarded to St. Mary's invalid depot, Chatham, to await their discharge.. Seven invalids of the Royal Marine Light Infantry who came home from China in the Princess Charlotte arrived at the head quarters of the Chatham division on the previous day. The men belonging to the Royal Artillery were forwarded to Woolwich. A large number of men were yesterday taken on by the Royal Engineer Department in Woolwich Arsenal for the purpose of erecting an additional building required for the manufacture of Sir William Armstrong's rifled ordnance. The dig ging out the foundation was commenced, con tiguous to the old Lancaster shell forge, which within the last fortnight has been thoroughly organised, and is now in full operation in casting and forging materials to carry out the speedy manufacture of this new branch of the service. The new building commenced yesterday will be con structed two stories high, and will be one of the most prominent features in the arsenal. The rifled ordnance department thus established under the superintendence of Mr. Sohn Anderson is being pushed forward with the utmost vigour, and a large number of smiths and experienced artificers and others are already on the books of the establish ment. The new naval and marine hospital at Woolwich is also rapidly progressing, and is now being roofed in. It forms, even in its present in complete state, a handsome and conspicuous object as seen from the river, the east wing having a semi circular projection in its centre, where the chapel is to be placed. The entire building, according to a handsome wooden model which has been con structed under the supervision of Dr. 0. Evans, Senior Inspector of Hospitals, consists of eight pavilions connected by a corridor 447 ft. in length by 13ft. wide. The dimensions of the walls will be 60ft. in length by 24 in breadth, and 16 in height, which will afford 1,640 cubic feet of atmospheric air to each inmate, of whom it is intended to place 14 in each ward. A portion of the east wing is pro posed for the reception of patients with infectious diseases, and there will be no communication with the rest of the building. The wards will be well lighted, having windows on both sides throughout, which will also afford cross ventilation, as recom mended by medical officers of the greatest experi ence. The principal entrance is in the west wing, facing Henry-street. This part of the building will be appropriated for offices, dispensary, stores, washing-rooms, and quarters of the junior medical officers. The basement story will be appropriated for storerooms, bathrooms, kitchen, and servants' rooms. On the north-west side a handsome espla nade and terraces will enable the patients to take healthful recreation and exercise. Their elevated position will remove the invalids from the malari ous influence to which the present infirmary is subject. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. Coastwise 1,490 quarters of English wheat have come fresh to hand this week in middling condition. Fresh up to-day by land carriage the receipts were small. Compared with Monday, there was less firmness in the trade ; never theless, that day's prices were mostly supported. The imports of foreign wheat are 6,460 quarters. Im porters generally were firm in their demands, but the busi ness doing was limited, on former terms. There was only a moderate demand for floating cargoes. Grinding and distilling barley sold somewhat steadily at full quotations, but malting parcels were very dull. The malt trade was very inactive on former terms. There was a fair consumptive demand for oats at full currencies. Beaus, peas, and flour sold at previous rates. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK Wheat. Barley Malt. Oats. Flour.

At a meeting cf the Association for Promoting the Erection of Drinking Fountains in the Metro polis, the Earl of CARLISLE said—The many claims upon public sympathy and benevolence which are made in this large metropolis, however strongly they may excite our feelings and compassion, how ever they may appeal to the conscience or to the heart, do not. often abound in novelty ; but I be lieve our undertaking this afternoon may at least lay claim to o r i g i na lity, since this is certainly the first meeting that has been held in London in con nexion with public drinking fountains. (Hear, hear.) It is true that the enterprise is not wholly new in the provinces, and in the great town of Liverpool especially an example has been set which we in London ought not to be ashamed, but should be very proud and very wise to follow. (Hear.) The undertaking in Liverpool was originally set on foot and the expenses of it have been in a very large proportion defrayed by a young and public-spirited merchant of that town, Mr. Chas. Melley,who, I am happy to say, is present with us this day. (Cheers.) I believe 45 public drinking fountains have been erected in Liverpool, 35 of them wholly at the expense of Mr. Melley, and I will trouble you with a brief extract for the purpose of showing the operation of the scheme in that town. It is quite a new thing for statistics to enter the domain of the Naiads, but so it is in this case, and as we wish to appeal to common sense and experience I trust you will listen to what has taken place in Liverpool. lam about to quote from a very interesting pamphlet, entitled " A Plea for Free Drinking Fountains," written by _. ; ,Wakefield, who acts as.Aeorgtary to this insti . ile - says, referring to the authDrity of Mr. Melley, " a calculation based upon a series of obser vations taken at different seasons, and in different parts of the town, by persons of perfect reliability, employed for the purpose, gives an average number of upwards of 1,000 persons drinking every day throughout the year at each of the 40 fountains scattered throughout the town and its outskirts. This would give 15 millions of persons who annually drink at the Liverpool fountains. And in a sub sequent communication, dated March 5, 1859, Mr. Melley writes that he is quite sure that if 20 more fountains were judiciously placed in Liverpool, both the new and old fountains would average 1,000 each the year round—that is, if Liverpool were ade quately supplied with fountains, they would be fre quented 22 millions of times in the year." (Cheers.) Besides Liverpool I have been furnished with a list of towns in Great Britain in which drinking foun tains have already been erected, and I find the num ber of fountains erected to exceed 250. In Aberdeen the number erected is 12 ; in Bolton there are 10 ; in Bradford one has been erected in the People's Park ; in Birkenhead four have been erected by the commissioners ; in Burnley three have been erected by my excellent friend, Sir J. K. Shuttle worth; in Rochdale one has been erected by the corporation ; in Edinburgh one has been erected by a lady, Miss Sinclair ; in Sunderland seven have been erected by the corporation, and they are going to put up more ; in Glasgow 32 have been erected by the corporation. London makes a poor figure in the catalogue • but one fountain is in course of erection, mainly under the superintendence of Mr. Gurney, who has led this movement in the metropolis ; and some of the railway companies are beginning to construct fountains at their stations. (Hear, hear.) Following up our statistics, if Liverpool requires 50 fountains, 400 will be necessary for London. (Hear.) Authorities differ as to the amount of the expense of each fountain, some placing it as high as £3O, in cluding decorations ; but, according to Mr. Melley's experience, each separate fountain need not cost more than £lO. This, however, must partly depend on the circumstances of the locality. It would be most desirable if a capital sum could be furnished to keep the fountains in repair. I am afraid we can hardly expect any metropolitan Moneys to furnish the whole cost. This might naturally seem to be the proper province of the parochial or other local autho rities—(hear, hear) —but I think we could hardly be justified in relying on any sustained or systematic course of action from such quarters ; and I think that an association beginning with such men as those by whom I am nowsurrounded would form the best nucleus for the requisite series of operations ; and such an association once formed would, I hope, enlist the co-operation of municipal, of parochial, and of other local bodies, in this beneficent scheme. He should hope that the great Corporation of Lon don, as well as other public authorities, would not be backward in helping this good work ; and that our old friends of the Woods and Forests would furnish the parks with suitable provisions of this kind. (Hear, hear.) Now with respect to the mechanical construction of these fountains, I be lieve it is considered necessary that a thorough filtering arrangement should be invariably attached to each fountain, probably by means of charcoal. It is also thought desirable that the supply of water should be continuous. Mechanical means can also be provided for preserving the water constantly cool, so that the rills of water will flow as chaste and pure in Cheapside or Houndsditch, as if they crept along the fresh crisp moss, or trickled down through their native rock. (Cheers.) We are asked what are our motives for this enterprise ? Having recourse again to our statistics, if the people in London are as much inclined to drink as they are in Liverpool—and who can give me a good reason why they are not—it would follow that 132,000,000 of draughts of water would be taken every year in London; and I think you will admit that people will not drink water unless they are thirsty or have a relish for it. lam sure all those whom I have the pleasure of addressing will agree with me that gin palaces and beer-houses, and habits of intemperance and drunkenness, are amongst the most besetting sins of our social condition, and are probably the most prolific of all the sources of suffering and crime that harass and infest our population. (Cheers.) I think I should be indulging in a very sanguine, or rather Utopian, speculation, if I were to express any con fident expectation that even after the supply of the necessary fountains ale and gin will at once be given up for cold water ; but I will quote an autho rity to show that great benefits may be anticipated from the step now contemplated. The Rev. Mr. Thorold, the excellent rector of St. Giles's-in-the- Fields, says :—" It is impossible to overrate the benefits which will arise from the establishment of drinking fountains in various parts of the metro polis, more especially in localities where the poor are thickly planted and are constantly movinc , about to or from their work. When a man actually earns his bread by the sweat of his brow, he finds out what thirst means. It is no inconsiderable kindness to enable him to quench that thirst with out risk to himself or to his family. And, indeed, the mischief which these drinking fountains will obviate preponderates, in my own view of the case, very considerably over the positive advantages which they will confer. Drinking,' like many other bad habits, does not always spring from a love of vice for its own sake. 'No man is very bad all at once,' and no man is a drunkard all at once. It is the habit of drinking intoxicating liquors un der the pressure of thirst in default of any better substitute, that has gradually turned a sober fel low into a drunkard almost without his knowing it ; and I am convinced that hundreds of working men will be only too glad to avoid temptation and keep their money in their pockets, if they can quench their thirst with a draught of cool pure water close by. Drinking fountains will prevent drinking, - and all who subscribe to them may have the satisfaction of knowing that by means entirely unobjectionable they are lending a most real aid to the diminution of intemperance among working men." (Hear.) Having read this strong opinion respecting the moral and the utilitarian parts of the scheme, let me say one word with reference to its architectural and decorative aspect. They did not for a moment think of offering anything like the great works of art which as fountains adorned the cities of the continent. No one dreamt of throwing away money upon mere ornament. The design they had in view in their fountains:was such as had been prefigured by one of the best and simplest of their poets when he said— " Not to the skies in useless columns test, Nor poured in falls magnificently lost, But clear and artless flowing through the plain, Health to the sick and solace to the swain." (Hear, hear.) They should have suitable a nd ap propriate designs for their fountains. But let me at the same time say that a suitable and appropriate design need not be more expensive than a tasteless and unmeaning one. Very often it will be less so, and I do not see why we should not hope that some of our artisans and architects, and persons of tast e and fancy may be induced to furnish, even gra tuitously, plans and suggestions for the embellish ment of their respective neighbourhoods. A suggestion has been made to me that there is a fi ne opportunity of introducing appropriate inscripti ons in connection with these fountains. I think the suggestion is well worthy our attention, but this of course would be left to an ar rangement between the association and those individuals or b o di es w h o may choose to assist the association by raising funds in their own neighbourhood. I d o ust that Colonel George Wyndham, of Petworth, Sussex, just created a baron of the United Kingdom, by the title of Baron Leconfield, of Leconfield, in the East Riding of the county of York, is the eldest of the three sons of George, third Earl of Egremont, on whose death, in November, 1837, he succeed e d to the large estates of that nobleman in the county of Sussex. He is brother of Colonel Charles Wyndham, formerly of the 76th Foot, and General Henry Wyndham, M.P., and of the late Countess of Munster. The new peer was for many years in the army, in the 27th Regiment, and served in the 'Peninsula. In July, 1830, , he retired from the service. He married Miss Blunt, only daughter of the Rev. Wm. Blunt, of Crabbe, Sussek, His eldest son, the Hon. Henry Wyndham, is M.P. for West Sussex, and is father of Lady Naas. William Tatton Egerton, crested Eiron Egerton of Tatton, in the county palatine of Chester, is eldest son of the late Mr. Wilbraham Egerton, of Tatton Park, who, like his ancestors for many generations, represented Cheshire in Parliament. This powerful branch of the Egerton family seated at Tatton Park, is a scion of the ennobled stem of Bridgewater, and possesses paramount influence in the palatinate, and has for more than a hundred years almost uninterruptedly given a member to the county. The new peer was married in December, 1830, to Lady Charlotte Loftus, eldest daughter of the second Marquis of Ely. His lord ship entered the House as Commons as representative for the borough of Lymington in 1830. In 1832, on the retirement of his father from political life, he was elected for North Cheshire, which division he continued to represent until within a few years back. On his retirement he was succeeded by his eldest son, Mr. Wilbraham Egerton, M.P. Sir Charles Robinson Morgan, Bart., created Baron Tredegar of Tredegar, in the county of Mon mouth, is eldest son of the late venerable Sir Charles Gould Morgan, Bart., by his marriage with Mary Margaret, daughter of Captain Storey, R.N. The family of Morgan have for many generations been one of the most opulent families in 'Wales and Monmouthshire, which county has been almost constantly represented by one of the family for more than a century. The first baronet, Sir Charles Gould, who was Judge Advocate-General and Judge Marshal of the Forces, in pursuance of the will of his brother-in-law, John Morgan, obtained the Royal licence for assuming the name and arms of Morgan. The late baronet died in 1846 at a great age, verging on ninety. The newly-made peer was born April 10, 1792, and married Oct. 6, 1827, to Rosamond, only daughter of General and the Hon. Mrs. Mundy, granddaughter maternally of Lord Rodney, the distinguished admiral. He represented Brecon in the House of Commons from 1818 to 1832, when he was ousted by Mr. John Lloyd Vaughan Watkins, by a majority of six. At the general election, in 1835, he was again returned for the borough, and continued its representation in Parliament up to 1847. He was appointed Major of the Glamorgan Militia in 1849, and re ceived the honorary degree of D.C.L. from Oxford in 1848. The eldest son of his lordship, Godfrey Charles Morgan, born in 1830, was in the 17th Lancers, and served in the East during the cam paign of 1854 and 1855. At the close of the war he retired from the regular army, and in 1856 was appointed Major of the Gloucester Yeomanry Cavalry. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTER SALLS'—YESTERDAY.

UNITED SERVICE INSTITUTION.—At the meeting of the members of this institution, on Monday evening, the subject of tents was brought forward, and a paper read thereon by Major S. Rhodes. The lecturer commenced with a slight sketch of the history of tents from the earliest times, in different countries, describing their general forms and the substances from which the coverings were made. He then proceeded to describe the tents at present adopted in the British army, viz., thehospital marquee, the field officers' marquee, the circular single-poled tent, mentioning their forms, area, weight when wet and dry, and the amount of cubic feet of air contained in them. He then passed on to show their defects, viz., first, that the canvas of which they are made is not always of the best material; secondly, .that the canvas and ropes, not being water-proofed, admit of alternate soaking and drying, whereby they are rotted, and g o e r vurenetildaurintiong. stormy With that by the contraction of both in wet weather, there is a ad an d d liced eolo e n vi el strain on the tent pegs, by which they are pulled out of the w g e o a lul th d er , ' bed his own forms of hospital, no d df e e f s e ci t ri ; an a d nd th , e th re trd by ty rr th der e e w d a l n es t j t o h hn e lecturer adduced s re d i en o g n a c . r e d is f ro u t :7 0 r t rt th h h e e o r d e l e a p s t o t t rt e h r e s field, and guard tents, illustrating by models their mode of Tulloch, and also from that of the Sanitary c ommis _ construction, the ease with which they are pitched, their rreports r le s s of tents their as a a c pti l ea o b ec ie up f a o for occupation commodiousness, and good system of ventilation. In con elusion he read a few extracts from an official report on the military by troops l: : s a ; field, granted by his Majesty the King of Hanover. Major Rhodes has supplied three full-sized trial tents to the fol lowing states : England, Frazee, Austria, Prussia, Russia, Sweden, Belgium, and Hanover. He has received a gold basedsuitability medal from his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, in proof of his Maj e sty's high appro b ation of the trial tents for warded to him. iR°ll AS T E it S QUARTERLY MEETlNG.—Wol verhampton, Wednesday. —The usual spring quarterly meeting of the iron and metal trades of Staffordshire and Worcestershire was held in this town to-day, aria there was a fair attendance in the principal firms or their representath es of the district. Business was represented to be slack, but the prices of the last quar ter, as we anticipated, were, upon the whole, well maintained. The dullness which prevails in the chief ship-building establishments in all parts of the country operates prejudicially upon the most important branches of the iron mann farture ; but still many of the principal works in the neighbourhood are fairly employed. The great meeting of the quarter will be held in Birnung ham to -morrow, and the concluding one at Dudley on Satur day. When these have taken place we shall be able to e tt:n i. speak of the absolute state of the iron trade anditsofnm t prospects with more confidence than at the present m d n en a cy t A telegram is in town from Bombay four days later than the advises at present published, s tating . _ re u sl PP t o t:t ad rat air iort ett l y th be e eI:L C us pu to t ms in : fdouroetie is d t e i c us i Iced
