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 dnree of functional vigour upon which the hopes of posterity dipend. It also points 0116 how all the attributes of Man hood can be preserved to an advanced period of life, how they are lest, and how they can be recovered. It is free from the gross exaggerations, alarming descriptions, and dangerous reftmlies so generally resorted to by perso ns, who, prac beta?: 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 3n 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 variou , functional disorders of the nervous and reproductive system, which, owing to the great discoveries of modern science, are rendered subservient to a rational, simple, and easy mode of treatment.

This ship, of 600-horse power (nominal), 3,668 tons, and mounting 18 guns, commanded by Capt Richard A, Powell, C. 8., made her official trial of speed at the measured mile in Stokes Bay, Ports- mouth, yesterday. The ship was cast off from the dockyard at 9 45 a.m., and left the harbour under half steam, in charge of Capt. H. Broadhead, com manding her Majesty's ship Asia and the Steam Reserve at the port ; Mr. Murdoch, inspector of machinery afloat, and Mr. Miller, assistant engineer to her Majesty's dockyard, superintending the trial on behalf of the Admiralty; the machinery being in charge of Mr. Halliday, representing the con- :ractors, Messrs. Penn and Son. A strong breeze, at a force from 5 to 6, from E.N.E. was blowing as the ship left the harbour at half speed, and a turn was taken to the eastward of the anchorage to give time for consultation with regard to the weather. The breeze, however, increased rather.thardessepe4. in - fofee; inert was deti3iinitied the vessel on the trial ground, as, should the trial prove unsatisfactory, as might naturally be expected from the state of the weather, it could be repeated on a more favourable occasion. The result, how- ever, will show that the speed of the ship under steam is perfectly satisfactory. At the same time, it must be remembered that the Defence, like the Warrior, is the pioneer of her class, and therefore both ships, so far as relates to comparative merits, should be tried under precisely similar circum stances. Those circumstances are, that the War rior had nearly a calm and perfectly smooth water in her trial. The Defence, on the contrary, had a heavy breeze from E.N.E., and troubled water. Under these circumstances the trial was commenced and concluded, the pilotage of the ship being in he hands of Mr. Jones, the veteran Queen's pilot of the port, than whom, it is allowed by all, none more efficient at his duties can be found. The fol- [owing are the six runs made, and their results : Lst Run.— Mean time, 3 min. 47 see.; speed in knots, 12.543; revolutions of engines, 67k. 2d Run. —Mean time, 6 min. 15 sec. ; speed in knot, 9.600 ; revolutions of engines, 651. 3d Run.—Mean time, 4 min. 33 sec.; speed in knots, 13.1.86; revo lutions of engines, 671. 4th Run.—Mean time, 6 min: 1 .24 sec. ; speed in knots, 9.375 ; revolutions of engines, 68. sth Run.—Mean time, 4 min. 25 sec. ; speed in knots, 13 584 ; re- volutions of engines, 67. 6th Run.—Mean time, 6 min. 24 sec. ; speed in knots, 9.375 ; revolutions of engines, 68. First means :-11.071, 11.393, 11.282, 11.480, 11.479. Second means :-11.232, 11.338, 11.381, 11.480. True mean speed, in knots, 11.357. At the close of the runs at the measured mile the ship was laid fair for Spithead, and, when in a fit position, the helm was put hard a-port and a com plete circle made in 6 minutes 30 seconds, and, with the helm the contrary way, in 7 minutes 6 seconds, the time being taken in both instances not before the ship felt her helm. The speed of the ship while making the circles, with the helm hard over, was, 9 knots. The draught of water of the ship was— aft, 25ft 4in ; forward, 24ft 4in. The pressure of steam was 201 b ; vacuum, 24in. The propeller was an improved Griffiths, with a diameter of 18ft and a pitch of 21ft. The engines were stopped dead from the time of moving the engine-room telegraph in 6 seconds, started ahead again in 7 seconds, and turned from that position astern in 13 seconds. In turning at the measured mile, the position of the ship, as taken from the shore in Stokes Bay, was altered as follows :—From the time the masts were in one, the ship's stern being to the shore, until they were in the opposite position, was 21 minutes, and from the time they were in one from aft for ward (in the first-named position) until they were fairly broadside on with the shore was 1 minute 40 seconds. At the conclusion of the experiments the ship's head was laid for the harbour, and in passing along the harbour channel, in line with Southsea beach, an accident occurred which might have been, but fortunately was not, attended with very serious consequences. It had been observed, with no small alarm, that on the ship completing her first run at the mile, in taking a sweep to the eastward along the edge of the Sturbridge shoal to bring her head round again for a second run to the westward, she for some time took no notice whate'rer of her helm after being put hard over, and ran in dangerous vicinity to shoal water; but just in time she came up to her helm, and escaped, most probably, a disaster. The same uncertainty was found in putting her at the circle, and, in fact, her time in completing the circle was not taken until she fully felt and answered her helm. In entering the harbour channel, in line with the beach of Southsea, the speed was slackened from full to three-quarter at about its narrowest part, when the ship's bow inclined towards the shore, and all the exertions of the pilot and the men at the wheel had no effect—the ship's bow had taken the ground. " Astern full speed" was the order instantly given, and off she came ; but she had got so far on the shoals that of necessity the stern next took the ground. and for some minutes so hung. Head sails loosed and engines going ahead at full speed, how ever, again extricated the ship from her perilous position, and shortly afterwards she was safely berthed alongside the dockyard. This deficiency of command over the ship in the steering power is de veloped in the Defence to a greater extent than in th© Warrior; but the Warrior under slow speed, and especially with the wind abaft, also possesses this very undesirable quality to an alarming extent, or at least she did when undergoing her trials of spud as the Defence has done. One most remark able quality of the Defence's steering, and one that may possibly lead to the discovery of the defect as regards it is, that although she may be under full steam, and the order is given " hard a-starboard" or " a-port" as may be required, it will take some 45 or 50 seconds before she gives any token of feeling the effects of the alteration of her helm. Yet, once she pays off, no ship can do so more readily ; that is, taking into consideration her length, as the time given in making her circles, &c., will fully prove. Whether rising floors, no keels, doable bilge pieces, and small rudders have anything, if not all, to do with this defective steering, we must leave scientific men to decide; always bearing in mind that the first moments lost in a ship's answering her helm are the very moments on which, some day, may depend her safety or destruction. The ship's outer appearance, in both hull and rig, is certainly anything but pleasing to the eye, or in accordance with our previously understood notions of beauty or grace in marine architecture. Her straight line of bulwark fore and aft, with out the slightest spring—in fact, depressing, if anything, at either end—her queer-looking stem , with her anchors hanging as near to it as possible, and her light bowsprit projecting from it almost below the level of her upper deck—all this gives her an uncanny, almost weird-like appearance; but when to these points is combined the appearance of her rig aloft, her short fore and main topmasts (she is bark rigged), and long mastheads with double topsail yards stowed polacre-wise, with no topgal lant masts, then the picture is complete, and the 1 1 oldest seaman who looks upon her can but acknow ledge that, to say the least, ho never saw the like before. The celebrated yacht Alarm, the pride of English yacht clubs, if she had her bow and stern PRICE..... -..4d. STAMPED ....sd. chopped off, and a couple of coal barges' masts stuck up in her in lieu of her own noble spars, would not present so wonderful a metamorphosis as does the Defence, judging her by comparison with such fri gates as the Galatea_ or Ariadne. No amount of reasoning can excuse the want of sheer, or spring , in the fore and after bodies of vessels like the De fence, carrying, 'is they do, an immense weight along their line of keelson and on their topsides amidships, and necessarily requiring a form of hull to assist them in carrying such a weight and lifting with buoyancy to the motion of the sea. With the i fig of the ship, however, argument goes against mere beauty of appearance. The Defence's rig was designed to be the simplest possible arrangement consistent with a sufficient quantity of sail power. With this view the ship carries nothing above her topmasts, the lower mastheads being very long from the tops to the caps, to each of the latter being at tached a topsailyard, as a fixture, the sail dewing up. Above this, working on the topmast is a Cun ningham topsail yard, which rolls up to the foot, and has its claws lashed to the lower topsail-yard. Both yards spread large topsails. Sail can thus be set and taken in with the chain topsail tie, the crew doing the work from the main deck in safety and protection. Another important advantage is, that from the sail being rolled up. tightly on the yard and wetted it is much less likely to be set on fire in action than an ordinary topsail would be. There is also, of a necessity _ a great ae crease in the weight aloft,l and, what is, perhaps ei triate.r fogeilier, there is alniost a comp et c ning gear above the deck, and consequently the danger of fouling the screw in the event of a spar being carried over the side in action is very greatly decreased. The Admiralty have done well in taking this first step towards a revision and alteration of the arrangements aloft of our screw ships of war, as the great weight they haVe carried aloft, combined with the weight of their boilers and machinery, along their keelsons, have doubtless tended greatly to cause that uneasiness of motion and straining of their hulls at sea of which we have of late heard so much. Internally the ship's decks are roomy, her fighting deck being similar in arrangement to those of the Warrior and Black Prince, and with excel lent quarters for the men at their guns. On her main deck she carries 10 95cwt. 68 pounders and four 100 pounder Armstrongs. On her upper deck she has one 100 pounder Armstrong pivot gun for ward and aft, two broadside 45cwt. 32 pounders, besides two light Armstrongs and boat guns. In consequence, however, of her build—teak lining upon iron—she can only give her guns, like the Warrior, some 29 degrees of training on her main deck. Her lower masts and bowsprit are of iron, and a small jibboom, only extending beyond the latter, gives her a light appearance forward, and the arrangement is such that it must tend to greatly assist the ship in rising to a sea. Her sloping bow, however, is open to serious objections. All our steam ships raise a large wave under their bows when at full steam, and in the case of the Defence the na tural result of this is that the wave of, say some 60 tons, has an inclination to rush up the slope.

Thursday being the anniversary of the consecra tion of the Bishop of Columbia, a public meeting in aid of the mission, which was founded by Miss Burdett Coutts about three years ago under memo rable circumstances in that distant colony, was held at the London Tavern. There was a large attend ance of persons who took an interest in the mission, many of them being clergymen and ladies. The Lord Mayor had been invited to take the chair, and around him on the platform were the Bishops of Oxford, London, and Honolulu, the Hon. Arthur Kinnaird, M.P., Mr. Gregson, M.P., Sir Harry Verney, M.P., Mr. Norris, M.P. Mr. Hanbury, M.P., Mr. John Abel Smith, Sir John Kay Shuttle worth, the Rev. G. R. Gleig (Chaplain to the Forces), Mr. G. P. Arden (Financial Secretary to the Mission), the Rev. W. Tennent, the Rev. J. V. PoTah, the Rev. C. Marshall, the Rev. W. Denton the Rev. C. B. Dalton, the Rev. W. W. Ellis, the Rev. T. J. Rowsell, the Rev. A. Day, Mr. Bod kin, Captain F. Petrie, Mr. P. Cazenove, and Mr. Arthur Colville. The Chancellor of the Exchequer had intended to be present, but was pre vented by an attack of rheumatism. Among the ladies who occupied seats in front of the platform were the Countess of Falmouth, Miss Burdett Coutts, the Lady Mayoress, and Mrs Tait. The LORD MAYOR, assuming the object of the meeting was generally known, said he was grati fied to see so large an assembly of persons ani mated by the desire to help on a work of such in calculable importance. The Rev. JOHN GARRETT, vicar of St. Paul, near Penzance, and commissary to the Bishop of Colum• bia, read a number of interesting extracts from a letter by the last mil from the principal of the mission, affording some touching insight into the life of a missionary in the colony. Of those extracts one may be selected :—" Though this note is con fidential, and not intended for the public ear, there is one thing which you may make public—nay, even proclaim upon the housetops. It is this—the cure for what, if left alone, will ultimately ruin re ligion and morals in this fine country—l mean an emigration of white women from Great Britain. Dozens of men have told me they would gladly marry if they could. I was speaking one evening on the subject of the dearth of females, and men tioned my intention of writing to beg that a plan of emigration may be set on foot; whereupon one member of the company immediately exclaimed, Then, sir, I pre - empt a wife'—(a laugh)—another, and another, and all round the circle of those listening to me earnestly exclaimed the same. Fancy the idea of pre-empting a wife ! Yet, I assure you, this touches at the root of the greatest blessing which can now be conferred upon this colony from home. Think of the 600,000 more women at home than there are men, and then think what society must be here. Churches may and • must be built, our faithful witness must be borne for holiness and virtue, but where there is no wedded life, church-going must be difficult, because morality is almost impossible." He adds, " I need say no more to induce you to use your efforts to pro mote the emigration to this colony of somo good respectable young women. If you succeed in hav ing this done, you will confer an unspeakable benefit upon British Columbia." But the greatest and most important part of the district, as it is by far the most important part of the colony, is to the north and north-east, 300 miles from here—the Cariboo country, which this summer's experience has shown to be one of the richest gold regions in the world. I The mines were discovered only last winter. This SINGULAR CHARGE OF FORGERY. A well-dressed, middle-aged, dissipated-looking man, named John Bilton, was yesterday brought before the Lord Mayor, at the Mansion-house, in custody of Stammers, a detective officer, charged with felony, under the 21st and 22d Vict., cap. 79, sec. 3, in having unlawfully forged and altered the crossing of two cheques for £lOO and £5O , by obli tering the crossings and altering the date with in tent to defraud. appeared for the prosecu tionn., attended upon behalf of the M ; r . . an d Sleigh, mgr barrister, Lewis, u Mr. Sleigh, in opening the case, said it was one of a 'very painful character. The prosecutor was a Solicitor, carrying on business in Fen - court, Fen chunh=street, and the priSoner, who was employed i n hi s office as A clerk, stood in the relation of brother-in7law to him, and it was needless for him to state that condiderable confidence was placed in him. Mr: Sleigi then proceeded to state the facts of the case, and called. •• Mr: Fred. It. Thonliariiho said--I am a solicitor, and carry on business in Fen-court, Fenchurch street, under the firm of Robt. Thomas and Son. In 1860 the prisoner assisted me in my office as clerk. I kept an account at Messrs. Spooner and Atwood's, bankers. On the 29th of October, 1860, I went to Brighton. Shortly before I left London I placed in the hands of a gentleman named Clements Smith a ;cheque for £lOO, drawn in his favour, which I produce. Previously to leaving I also drew two other cheques for £5O, also in Mr. Sniith's favour, one of which I now produce. All three of the cheques were crossed for payment through a banker. I left the two cheques for £5O at my private house. I had previously seen the prisoner, and told him to go to Mr. Cornelius Smith and receive £lOO which he owed me, and pay it into the bankers, then to take the two cheques to Mr. Clements Smith, and t a ke up my cheque for £lOO, which I lodged with him. On the same day I received a telegram which induced me to return to London on the same evening. I ut made every inquiry about the defendant, and tried all I coald to find him, b I have never• seen him since until last night, when he was taken into cus tody. The cheque for £lO O , which I produce, in stead of having been destroyed, has been returned to me through my bankers, as paid. The crossing has been erased, and the words, " Pay cash, R. T. and Son," written at the top of it. I believe the writing to be in the handwriting of the prisoner. The cheque for £5O, which I produce, has likewise been returned to me through my bankers, as paid. The crossing upon this has also been erased, and the words, " Cash, R. T. and Son," and the date has also been altered from the s th Nov. to the 25th Oct. The cheque was post-dated. I believe the alterations in this cheque to be also in the prisoner's handwriting. Mr. Lewis said he should forbear to cross-examine the witness on this occasion, as there were a great many facts which must come out in the end, and he would candidly admit .that he was as yet but imperfectly instructed in the matter, and he would therefore prefer, as t h e ease must be remanded, that it should be remanded at the commencement than at the middle. The only thing he would trouble his lordship about was the question of bail. Mr. Sleigh said he left that question in bis lord ship's hands. He should make no objection, and Mr. Thomas was quite willing that the defendant should be admitted to bail. The Lord Mayor said as Mr. Thomas had no ob jection to the prisoner being held to bail he should accede to the request of Mr. Lewis. The prisoner was then remanded, being admitted to bail, himself in £lOO, and two sureties in £5O each. OBTAINING OVER £3,000 WORM OF GOODS UNDER FALSE PRETENCES. A fashionably-dressed man, who gave the name of Carl Frederick Trongatt Maximilian Reuter, aged 41, but who is better known as Carl Reuter, resid ing at 164, Richmond-terrace, Queen's road, Dalston, who described himself as a merchant and a native of Saxony, Germany, was charged beforo Mr D'Ey ncourt, at the Clerken well Police-court, yester day, with obtaining by means of false and fraudu lent representations 41 gold chains, 19 brooches, 15 bracelets, and other articles of the value of £2OO, with intent to cheat and defraud Mr. Wm. Storrar, wholesale gold chain manufacturer, 98, Goswell road, Clerken well. The police who have charge of the case state that on the next occasion charges of obtaining goods to the extent of between £3,000 or £4,000 would be brought against the prisoner. A gentleman from the office of Stubbs' Trade Pro tection Society attended to watch the case. Mr. Beard was for the prosecution. Mr. Storrar said the prisoner went to him about two years since, and represented himself as a com• mercial traveller for a house in Birmingham, and also for some manufacturing and wholesale houses at Hamburg. He said he had been recommended to him as a good gold chainmaker, and requested to look at some of his (the prosecutor's) work. He was shown some of the work, and he said that would do very well, and proceeded to make a selec tion of goods to the extent of about £57, and said he would pay for them in 14 days or less. Mr. D'Eyncourt—How is it that you have not taken proceedings against the prisoner before this P Witness—The prisoner has been out of the way —in fact he has been abroad. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Did you let the prisoner have the goods without making any inquiries about him ? Witness—No; I spoke to Mr. Oliver about him, and he said he thought the prisoner was all right. Mr. D'Eyncourt—And upon that representation you let the prisoner have the goods ? Witness—Partly. Before he paid me for the first lot of goods, he said his employers were so satisfied with the goods and the workmanship that he was to select some more. He showed me bills for goods he had purchased to the extent of several hundreds of pounds, and which purported to be paid, He then selected goods to the value of about £240. He next came on a Saturday night, late, and had some goods on approval, and, Nv hen asked to come the next day, he mid he could not, but if the articles were not approved of he should return them on the Monday. He said he was a traveller for Mr. Wallis, of Birmingham, a person with whom I was well acquainted. I have since ascertained that the Thole of the prisoner's story was false. The prisoner, although he was to have paid for the goods in 14 days, did not come near me after he I obtained the last lot of goods, but absconded. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Ars there other charges against the prisoner of a similar description ? Police-sergant Evans, 22 G, answered in the affir mative, and asked for a remand, stating that the prisoner had defrauded the watch and chain manu facturers of Clerkenwell of over £2,000. Mr. Robert Oliver, diamond setter and mounter, 5, Wilmington-street , Clerkenwell, said the pri soner had obtained goods from him to the amount of over £lOO under false pretences. He (witness) had before been defrauded to a large extent by a foreigner, and the prisoner first introduced himself to him (Mr. Oliver) under the pretence that he was a traveller, and could get him his goods back. After that he did some business with him and paid him, and then defrauded him of the above amount of property. Ile did not send the prisoner to Mr. Storrar with his card. The prisoner saw one lying on the workbench, took it up, and went with it himself. When Mr. Storrar came for the reference, he did not see him (Mr. Oliver), but his wife, or he should have put him on his guard.

The iron screw steamship Warrior, 40, Capt. the Hon. Arthur Cochrane, which arrived in Plymouth home, and south-east, rendere rendered on Thursday evening, as already repo rted in The Sun, left Gibraltar on the 19th February. She took her departure under steam , and cross ed the Bay of Biscay under canvass. Durin g the passage strong n g e a a le r s e from hme h shewhich experienced i aarease o d satsr she d it necessary to get up steam in the chops of the Channel. In the Sound yesterday the weather con tinued so heavy that the topgallantmasts of the vessel were struck and everything made snug; in the morning it was not safe for boats to lay along- side. The officers of the new frigate speak very favourably of the results of the voyage to the Me diterranean and back, and attribute the report of her being very leaky chiefly to the fact that some of her boats on deck required caulking, and could not, therefore, hold the wash and spray of the sea, which dropped into them during heavy weather. These defects have been made good. She leaks a little, however, about the water-ways, probably through straining at sea. The men were ex ercised at gun and target practice when cross ing the Bay of Biscay. The passage outward from Lisbon to Gibraltar is referred to as the best test of the capabilities of the Warrior. She left the Tagus on February the 7th, and in 22 hours arrived at Gibraltar, a distance of 320 miles, being at the rate of nearly 15 miles per hour. The ship was under sail and steam, not full power. Her engines are pronounced " faultless." On a close inspection of them yesterday in the Sound no defect was discovered, and no repair or alteration of any kind is necessary. Her steering arrangements still require modification. The Eagle, 20, training ship, Commander F. T. C. Strode, is ordered to be paid off on Tuesday next, and her officers and crew turned over to the Bos cawen, 70, which will be commissioned on the fol lowing day as a training ship for second-class boys at Devonport. She is to have a complement of 70 men, including Marines. An Admiralty circular has been received at Chat ham Dockyard, laying down an amended scale of pay and allowances for captains, commanders, lieutenants, masters, and assistant-surveyors, who may be employed in surveying operations either at home or abroad. Officers appointed to surveying vessels from half-pay are not to commence drawing their surveying pay until they have reached their respective stations ; and officers transferred from one station to another for the benefit of the service are to continue their surveying pay without a break, but, if going abroad with a higher rate of pay, such higher rate is to commence on their reaching the new station. In the case of officers engaged in com- piling sailing directions, or in preparing tables o positions, 10s. per day will be allowed for the time so employed. The travelling expenses of officers transferred from one survey to another will be allowed, together with allowances for lodging and subsistence, a higher rate of pay being allowed to officers employed on the West Indian, Cape of Good Hope, and Australian stations. An allowance for the wear and tear of clothes will be made to the crews of surveying vessels in cases in which it may be certified that from the nature of the coast, &c., extraordinary expense for clothing has been in curred. The new scales and regulations are to take effect from the Ist of January. Orders have been received at Devonport, to com mission the paddlewheel steam sloop Styx, 6, with a complement of 175 officers and men. She is to be rigged by the first division of the Steam Reserve in Hamoaze, and be stored and provisioned for foreign service. Letters have been received at Plymouth from the screw steam corvette Charybdis, 21, Capt. the Hon. George D. Keane. She left Hongkong on the 4th of December, and on the 23d ran great risk of being lost on a reef of rocks not laid down in the Admi however, got up promptly, rally charts. Steam was, and the danger was avoided. The Charybdis arrived at the island of Niphon on the 26th of December, and would leave shortly for Jeddo. The Jap anese Ambassador was about to depart for England in a British ship of-war. All the other ships were ordered to leave Japan, and Capt. Keane will then be senior officer. The corvette will be stationed at Japan for some months. According to the Bermuda Royal Gazette, there were at the island, on the 4th of February, the screw steamship Nile, 90, Capt. Barnard, flag of Rear-Admiral Sir Alexander Milne, K.C.B. ; the Hero, 89, Capt. Ryder ; the Agamemnon, 89, Capt, Hope ; the Aboukir, 86, Capt. Shadwell, C. 8.; the Immortalite, 57, Capt.

Tiie the fro mrmetit Annapolis, Indieson Ch t e h s e ap l e st ak o e Bay, arrived th 30th of January, and the Diadem and DID drail from February. ' The last two brought the remainder of the crew of the wrecked ship Conqueror, 90, the bowsprit only of which is now above water. All the ship's company are berthed on board the hulk Medway, where they will remain until the court-martial, which was ap pointed to be held on bozd the Hero on the 6th of February.

By direction of the Duke of - Cambridge an expe rimental trial was made at Chatham on Thursday night to test the merits of the new description of te l egr aphic night signals, th e i nven ti on o f C a pt. F. s . J. Bolton (12th Regiment), which are about to be introduced for general adoption throughout the ser vice. The invention has been subjected to repeated trials by the Ordnance Select Committee, with, it is understood, the most satisfactory results, a highly favourable report on the system having been made to the Secretary of State for War. By special di rection of the Dake of Cambridge several of the most intelligent non-commissioned officers, selected from the Royal Artillery, Royal Engineers, the infantry, and Royal Marines, at Chatham, have been placed under the direction of Capt. Bolton for the purpose of being instructed in the working of the code of signals. Although they had only received eight lessons, so simple is the system used that the men have become thoroughly conversant with the work ing of the apparatus and the method of despatching and receiving messages. Thursday night being ex ceedingly favourable for the preliminary trial to be made, an apparatus for producing the signals was placed on the elevation known as the Spur Battery, adjoining the Chatham Lines, a party of Engineers and Artillery being stationed on one of the hills about midway between Chatham and Gravesend, with a second apparatus. The distance in a straight line was between four and five miles. Capt.Boltotif who superintended the arrangements at the Spur Battery, despatched a number of messages, some of them of a very intricate and lengthy description, all of which were recorded and promptly replied to by the signals placed on the second eminence, the beautiful lime-light shining out with astonishing brilliancy. It is intended shortly to put the inven tion to a further test by assembling the troops of the garrison at night, when signals will be des patched and received in all respects similar to those which would be used in active operations in the field. Colonel Charles Bingham, the Deputy Adjutant- GEneral, has issued the subjoined " General Regi mental Order" of the Royal Artillery : " Her Majesty having been pleased to appr,,ve the amal gamation with the Royal Artillery of the Artilleries of the three Presidencies in India, and to sanction an augmenta tion to the Royal Artillery of 4 Brigades of Horse Artil lery and 10 Brigades of Field and Garrison Artillery, his Royal Highness the General Commanding-in-Chief has directed that the following General Order, published in India, should be circulated for the information and guid ance of the regiment at large, viz.:— "' General Order, by his Excellency the Governor-General of India in Council,—Fort William, Oct. 12, 1861.

A murder and robbery, committed in the Com mune of Lafrette (Seine-et-Oise), close to Argenteuil, was discovered two days ago, in a rather singular manner Some boatmen, while unmooting their craft, saw a stake of wood driven into the bank of the river, and to which was attached a thin rope running into the water. On pu'ling this rope, the men were horror-struck at finding at the end of it the body of a man whom they recognised as being a person named Fulgence, who resided in a small isolated house near the river. The body bore evident marks of violence, a large cut having been made in the 'leek with some sharp instrument. On the Commissary of Police being informed of the fact, he went to the house, and there discovered that a robbery had been effected, the watch, money, and jewellery of the victim having been carried off. A razor was also taken away, with which it is t si th i r sed the murder was committed ; and there is no doubt _ the perpetrator of it is some one well acquaintedch the deceased with the place, as he knew where to find the razor, whi always kept in a particular par t of the room.
