Ait ED ICAL ADVICE.—Dr. LA'MERT, Licen --a- hurt 'Hate of the Royal College of Physicians of Eclin , continues to be consulted on the various Dis orders of the Reproductive system, and on the cure of Nervous and Physical Infirmities, resulting from Injurious habits or excesses. Some of the circumstances most perniciously aficctin9.-, future health, vigour, and happiness originate at that early beriod of life when the rising human being becomes sump tib!e of Impressions, which, according, to the prudence and Vgilance with which his PHYSICAL EDUCATION is superin len tied, must inevitably conduce t) great goon or great evil. The EVIL arises in chief measure from the prevalence, amount youth, of vicious and destructive habits, emphati cally indicated, some time ago by the "Times" newspaper, 4 R the main cause of the portentous decay of the Mussulman ?npulation in Asia Minor, and which, in more civilised coun tries, ha-is constantly to unfitness for matrimony, to misery, di scontent, and discard between the marrie.i, and to the dis appointment of all the great objects of wedlock. As early error often leaves a deadly stiller, the virulence of Ivhich may not be deve'oped for years, it Is the imperative ', l ntl , of all who have any reason whatever to feel doubts as 0 their present or future condition of health to take instant Il icasuru for ascertaining the facts, in order that the evil, if xisting or approaching, may he arrested. Then, even if in- Jury has reached the most advanced stage,perfect restoration to all t ie most precious privileges of life may be confidently e xpected from the resources of experienced science. ) r.

" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular.

" The Use and the Abuse of the Turkish Bath.—A very useful pamphlet has been published by Dr. Culverwell, the proprietor of the Turkish Baths in the neighbourhood of the Post-office, which presents to the uninitiated a mass of inte resting information, while those who have already encouraged this new system will derive additional advantage if they observe some of the practical regulations which the writer nicleavours to enforce."—Herald and Standard, N0v.12, 1861. " The Post-office Turkish Baths, 19, St. Martin's-le-Grand. —Dr. Culverwell has already established the reputation of an able physician ; he has now proved himself to be a worthy philanthropist, in as far as he has established, In the heart of the City, an institution that more nearly than any disco very of modern days, goes nearer the abolition of the practice of physic, than any proposition or invention yet established, the Turkish Bath. . . Our object being merely to direct the attention of our City readers to the fact that they possess one of the best set of baths, at 19, St. Martin's-le-Grand, which the country can produce; perfect in all Its appliances, and most admirable in effect.

Prophesying seems now to be the order of the day. Dr. Cumming says the world will be at end in about seven years ; but, if report is to be believed, he has taken the lease of a house for twenty-one. The sporting prophets, like the learned doctor, profess to foretell the winner of any great race for a few postage stamps. No matter what horse wins any great event, it will be seen, on referring to their advertisements, the next day, that the winner was the only horse sent, when, in tho majority of cases, the horse advised was never started at all. The following ex cellent remarks, from the Sporting Life, are worthy of perusal by those who are duped by a large class of sporting tipsters : . "Our old acquaintances, the tipsters, seem, to borrow one of their favourite expressions, in " immense form" this season. According to their advertisements, they have "sent" the winners of all the great races that ever were. Some of the fraternity even go so far as to declare that they not only reveal winners, but foretell with equal certainty the first, second, and third horses. If we may trust to their announcements, the Two Thousand is over, the Derby has no cause to be run, and the Oaks is a moral cer tainty for the fortunate mare whose destiny is as well known to these monitors as that the sun will rise on the morrow. A spirit-rapper engaged in summoning "spirits from the vasty deep," is said to have been floored in the midst of his mysteries, by the pertinent inquiry of "Just tell us what'll win the Derby ?" Here was a poser for the rapper which momentarily discomfited him, but at last he muttered that "a tall chesnut" would win, and as Thor= manby carried off the prize that year, the spirit medium boasted of a legitimate success I The tipsters are not so modest as the rapper, They do not hint vaguely, or throw out their prognostications with haziness. Boldly and emphatically they vow that the secrets of the future are no secrets to them, and that for the mere consideration of a few stamps they will name the horse that is to win the Derby, tell the jockey who will bo in the saddle, and probably disclose the precise number of lengths by which the " tip" is to pass Mr. Clark at Epsom I Where this now strong community of Turf ad visers has sprung from it is difficult to say, and still more hazardous to guess how they existed prior to devoting their penetrating minds to the affairs of the Turf. Some of the advertisements display considerable ingenuity, but the dodge of borrowing the names of celebrated jockeys has evidently been found a poor and unremunerative artifice, since the press so remorselessly blew upon the expedient. One individual, however, we perceive has taken very high grountle. Ho calls himself "a gentleman, proprietor of race horses, cf great experience and influence upon the Turf," and "wishes to correspond with a few gentlemen who will honourably remunerate him from their 'winnings." This in genious individual, moreover, remarks that he "seldom sends more than one horse (!) for each race, and only advises upon those races that he personally knows some thing about." He is to be addressed M—, Esq., at a quarter of London certainly less aristocratic than Belgravia. It is coming to something when the tipping fraternity write themselves down " esquires," and set up a claim to be considered "proprietors of racehorses" and of "great in fluence upon the turf." By and by we suppose that some of the let will be courting the patronage of the public under the definition of members of the Jockey Club, and we may ere long be startled with the announcement that Lord Glas gow has a "good thing" for his subscribers, which will be transmitted on receipt of thirteen stamps I Without ques• tion, the many articles which we have written upon this sub ject have been productive of some good. There is really nothing discreditable in the occupation of these men, if they will only conduct themselves fairly, honestly, and decently. Indeed, we look upon their labours if car ried on in a perfectly reputable and legitimate manner, as really valuable to a large number of the racing public. The Manchester advisers are, perhaps, the best representatives of the class, and the circulars which they issue are the pro ductions of industrious and, we will add, very talented me a. Still, the tipping market is flooded with herds of boasting, mendacious fellows who, not content with a genuine suc cess, invent a victory after every important race. If they would only learn that occasional failures are no disgrace and do not shake the confidence of the public, they might take a match higher rack, and With additioual profit to THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVE NI ,\ G, APRIL 30, 1862.

They will not, however, own to being beaten ; and the very fact that they endeavour to impress this upon the public naturally makes the whole think look like a lie and a swindle. Eionic of them aro ready to do all sorts of rash things—to give £lo,doo to a charity, if they did not "spot" the latest winner for months before the weights appeared, or perhaps before the horse was foaled I What is the result ? Certain of their subscribers who did not get the "final" and alleged correct " tip" write us in dignation letters, and the murder is out. Many of these advisers, unquestionably, by some means, now and then get hold of goodish things, and for which we do not ques tion they get handsomely rewarded. If they possessed a better knowledge of public opinion, they would find that puffing extravagantly defeats its own end. Merit and genuineness will make their own way, and it is only the rank impostor who needs to be perpetually blowing his own trumpet." PUGILISM. MICKEY GANNON AND JESSE HATTON FOR £5O A-SIDE. —The postponed passage of arms between these members of the P.R. took place, pursuant to arrangement, yesterday. The belligerents were not confined to weight, but in this Hatton, who could not have been less - than lOst 71b., had the advantage. Gannon, however, who is not more than 20, was at least nine years the younger. The start from the metropolis took place at an early hour in the morning, and, after a pleasant journey by special, the ring was formed on a well selected spot, where all was ascertained to be serene. Hatton, who, for one who had seen much service, looked in excellent condition, was first to enter the ring, but had not long to wait before he 77as joined ly his adver. nary. Hatton had for his seconds isob iraveriiittte slack) ana mine maiden, while Jack Hicks and George Crock e tt were retained for Gannon, who, though he stated he was well, by no means looked in such condition as he might have been. The betting had been even, but just before the combatants received the finishing touch from their seconds, Gannon offered to lay Jesse lo to 10. This Hatton declined. At a quarter to nine o'clock the belligerents advanced to the scratch, and at once placed themselves in position. If there was not an exhibition of artistic points, the men, at any rate, fought many of the rounds with spirit. Hatton, in the fourth round, gained the two leading points. As, however, the battle progressed, we had again a further forcible illustration of the old ring adage, youth will be served, for Gannon took a decided lead, which he main tained to the finish of the contest. There were in the whole 39 rounds, fought in one hour and three minutes, wh e n Hatton, who had received heavily in the last of these bouts, and in the fall had the misfortune to injure his shoulder, was compelled to yield to defeat. Jesse was a good deal punished about the physiognomy ; Gannon, on the contrary, displayed but a few trifling marks, a proof that though his game opponent was often "there," he did not do much execution. TILE ARMY. The Tribune screw frigate, Capt. Viscount Gilford, sailed for Vancouver's Island, calling in at Ply mouth Sound, from Spithead at 2 p.m. yesterday. Vice-Admiral the Hon. Sir F.W. Grey and Mr. S. Whitbread, M.P., who have been inspecting the dock accommodation at Malta and Gibraltar, and who arrived at Plymouth, on Sunday, performed a similar duty at Devonport on Monday, and left in the afternoon by the South Devon Railway for Pad dington. While at Devonport the attention of their Lordships wss directed more especially to tha steam ) and at Keyham and the Government property ad joining. The works of Keyham steamyard cover at present a space of 70 acres; the lately acquired land may have an equal area. It is bounded on the south by the boiler•shop and other erections belong ing to the yard, and by Keyham Lake; on the west by Hamoaze; on the east the boundary runs in a line with the wall of the yard ; and on the north the land extends to Western-mill Lake. The ' only building designed at present to be erected on this land is the barrack for the Naval Brigade. Considerable alterations are, however, to be made in Keyham steamyard, which does not possess suf flcient capacity for the reception and accommoda tion of a ship of the length and draught of water of the Warrior. This deficiency, is to be rectified in e very ingenious tiiinuer. The entrance to the Key ham lock is 37 feet deep, but is only 255 feet long, and cannot receive a ship longer than the Revenge, which is 244 feet nine inches on the gun deck, or the Gibraltar, 252 feet. These ships are 25 feet longer over all, so that when the inner caisson of the entrance lock has to be floated to admit either into the basin it will be readily seen that there are not many inches to spare. This caisson is not used when the Himalaya has to be docked. She is -341 feet long, and draws from 19 to 23 feet. The draught of the Gibraltar and Revenge, with their stores, is about 25 feet; but for the extra draught of the Warrior she could be placed in the basin in the same way as the Himalaya. The water, however, in the basin cannot be raised above 28 feet 6 inches without danger. This danger would be greatly increased if all the water in the basin and lock were raised to the required height and allowed to bear against one moveable bar rier only—viz., the telescope caisson, which protects the western or outer end of the lock from the sea in Hamoaze. The ingenious mode intended for adoption is as follows :—The cill of the inner end of the entrance lock, where the inner caisson is fitted, is only 28 feet deep—the same depth as the basin. The cill is to be lowered nine feet, to a level with the lock itself, and this deepening is to be carried into the basin by what is termed a tronc or canal, 400 feet long, which will be sufficient to re ceive the Warrior. When tho deepening is com plete the junction between the lock and the basin will be closed by the caisson, and water, in sufficient quantity, will be pumped in by the stationary en gine on the establishment to float the iron-plated ship over the shallower portion of the basin into the Queen's dock, which will be lengthened 100 feet while the canal is being excavated. The bot tom of the basin is formed of slate rock, and the cutting of the tronc or canal can be therefore exe cuted without fear of injury to the south wall. The side of the canal will not commence close to the wall, but some feet off, and then shelve down, the deepest part, to receive the keel, being, of course, at a very safe distance. The present sluices in this basin are connected with the sea wall, and are nine or ten feet above the bottom. As the residuum cannot escape by this means, the water is always in an offensive condition. The construction of the pro posed canal will probably remedy this serious de feet: The basin is 561--feet wide east and west - bp 630 feet in length north and south, or covers about eight square acres. On its eastern side there are three docks—viz., No. 1, originally 356 feet long, lengthened about three years since to 381 feet to receive the Himalaya ; No. 2 dock, 310 feet ; and No. 3, or the Queen's Dock, 310 feet long, which is to be lengthened 100 feet, as previously stated, to receive the Warrior. Keyham Lake, already referred to as being on the north of the present yard, would, it is said, form an excellent position for one or two docks of any required length. Nature - appears to have pre pared for that purpose. Coin partitively speaking little excavation would be necessary. The mud is about 60 feet deep. In the event of the Govern ment obtaining possession of Western Mill Lake (about 50 acres), always dry at half-tide, and now almost useless, it might be found available for docks of any magnitude. The mud here is of great depth. This creek is now the only intervening space be tween the recent purchase north of Keyham and the land belonging to the Imperial Powder-works at Bull Point. The Government, should they ob tain it, would then possess the eastern shore of Hamoaze, from Saltash to Devonport, excepting a portion occupied by that part of the town. Under the houses there is, however, exclusive communi cation by a tunnel, which will shortly have a branch connecting the Gan-wharf with the Devonport dockyard on the one hand, and Keyham steamyard on the other. In the construction of any new docks two evils which exist at Keyham will, it is hoped, be modified. The entrance to the lock is at right angles with Hamoaze, in which the tide sets up and down occasionally with great velocity, and makes the approach of a ship, especially if a long one, both difficult and dangerous. The other evil consists in having the largest dock (No. 3) not in a straight line with the entrance. If No. 1 dock, which is immediately opposite, had been the largest, the canal would have been carried right on end to it and the dangerous necessity of raising the water by pumping into the basin would have been avoided. CITY COURT OF SEIVE.RS. At a meeting of the Commissioners of Sewers held yesterday, at the court-room, at Guildhall, Mr. D. Jersey in the chair, Dr. Letheby, the me dical officer, reported that 262 houses had been in. spected during the last fortnight, and he submitted a list of 71 places requiring sanatory improvement in various particulars, and he also submitted a list of places requiring further proceedings on account of orders already issued not having been complied with. The markets and slaughter-houses bad also been duly inspected during the last two weeks, and the officers had seized 5,941 lbs. of meat as unfit for human food. It consisted of 34 sheep, 6 calves, 4 pigs, 34 quarters of beef, and 40 joints of meat, 4,816 lbs. were diseased, 572 lbs. putrid, and 113 lbs. from animals that had died from natural causes. The whole was destroyed. The mortality returns for the last fortnight were a little over the average for the corresponding period of the last five years. The average number was 116, and the actual number of deaths was 122,47 of which were among children of less than five years of age, and 29 among old persons of 60 and upwards. The causes of death were as follows Phthisis, 18; pneumonia, 5; bronchitis, 16; mesen teric disease, 8 ; whooping cough, 5 ; continued fever, 8 ; diphtheria, 5 ; scarlet fever, 5 ; croup, 1 ; makirrs-together 26 4-eaqia from tuber cular diseases ; 21 from inflammatory diseases of the lungs ; and 28 from diseases of the zymotic class. One hundred and forty-one births were registered during the week, viz., 78 boys and 63 girls. Mr. PEARSON, the City solicitor, called the atten tion of the Court to a report which appeared in the newspapers of that day, of a complaint made by Mr. Shepherd at the Mansion-house justice-room, of what he alleged was an incorrect statement made by Mr. Daw in a case in which a man was charged with stealing a coffin-plate from Barking church yard. He (Mr. Shepherd) said Mr. Daw had been misinformed when he stated that the bodies were removed by the authority of the Bishop of London. A faculty had been granted for altering the church porch, but it did not extend to the removal of the bodies. Mr. Pearson said Mr. Shepherd was quite right when he stated there was no faculty for re moving the bodies. It was not required. The Sewers Act gave the commission the power to remove them upon obtaining the sanction of the Bishop of London ; and he produced an agreement, signed by the Rev. J. Thomas, the vicar of All hallows parish, and the churchwardens; and also beariLg the signature of the Bishop of London, con senting to the agreement ; and the agreement con tains a plan of the proposed alterations, not only of the porch, but also of the setting back the churchyard railings. THE VOLUNTEER REVIEW AT BRIGHTON.—The publication of the traffic tables of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company for the week ending the 26th inst., gives the aggregate of 269,210 passengers as passing over the line during that week. The total money return for the same period amounted to £22,467. The total 269,210 for the week gives an average of 38,400 and odd per day. NEW COURT IN THE KENSINGTON MUSEUM.- The authorities at tho Kensington Museum having long felt the inconvenience of having their art collections dispersed through various rooms and galleries, have just completed a curt on the north side of the building, in which they have collected some of the finest specimens of medimval art, in cluding the Soulages and Campana collections. Tho Sou lages are already well known to the visitors, but the Cam pana sculptures, which are ranged round the cloisters, will be found to be an interesting novelty. This collection consists of 400 specimens of sculpture in marble, terracotta, Della Robbia, &c., in fact, a whole series making the era of what art connoisseurs call the great revival. The court in which these recent acquisitions are placed, is spacious, light, and cheerful, and everything is set in the best posi tion for being seen. It will no doubt be a great additional attraction to the museum, and will become all the more attractive the more familiar the public become with its con tents. The wine trade of 1861, as taken from W. and A. Gilby's annual circular, appears to have received a great stimulus from the introduction of the reduced duties,French wines in particular, which contributed to the consumption to the extent of 20 per cent. as compared with other wines; and it is stated that Mr. Gladstone's system of assessing the duties on wines according to strength has given univer sal satisfaction. Much of the increase in the use of wines is attributed to the altered fashion of taking light wines at meals in lieu of after-dinner drinking. W. an d A . G. soli cited the opinion of every member of the medical profession in the United Kingdom, to the extent of 8,000, as to the use of light wines, and their opinion placed beyond doubt the fact that the use of light wines is greatly to be pre ferred to the stronger, and even beer, on account of the medical properties, besides being a step in the direction of sobriety and moderation. The vintages last year in nearly all the wino-growing countries were good, and nearly an average crop was harvested of excellent quality. During the year there were more than 2,000 wine merchants in Lon don paying duty at the Custom-house, and the three largest firms out of that great number are—Martinez and Company, 241,274 gallons ; s„denian, Son, and Company, 218,925 gallons; W. and A. Gilbey, 14C,575 gallons. Murphy, the Irish giant, who died a fow days ago at Marseilles, of small-pox, was a native of Killowen, a little village within a mile of Rostrevor, in the county of Down. Before he had completed his 20th year ho stood seven feet high, and weighed 20 stone. Having travelled through all the principal countries of Europe, enjoying the company and conversation of the highest and best educated men in the different places where he sojourned, he returned to his native village a highly accomplished gentleman, and so enriched by the gifts of those who patronised him, that he purchased a handsome estate at Killowen, which he left a short time since for another tour through Europe. While staying at Marseilles he was seized with small.pox, and after a brief but determined struggle he died in his 26th year, being about 24 stone weight, and within a few inches nine feet high. The Gazette du Midu states that his body is to be embalmed and sent to the Museum. of Natural History iu Paris,—Nocry Examiner. THE NAVY. The following is extracted from a letter which has been received from an officer of the Royal Marine Battalion (British), lately attached to the Mexican allied expedition, and is dated Bermuda, April 8 : "The head quarters, six companies with the artil lery detachment, of our battalion arrived here in H.M.S. Donegal and Sanspareil, on the 26th and 28th March respectively. Commodore Dunlop, on his own responsibility, decided on sending us to Bermuda, keeping 150 men—about two companies —to assist in garrisoning the castle and forts of Vera Cruz. It is hard to say, and sad to think, what may have been their losses since we left them. We have lost in the battalion 35 men from deaths, but no officers, and have now several bad and doubtful cases on shore. Many are so debilitated that they must be invalided as soon as possible. Intermittent fever, followed by dysentery, has been the cause of our losses, and when the latter succeeds the former, the case generally ends fatally. No yellow fever has appeared as yet. We are now waiting orders from England, and expect to leave for home in about a fortnight in the Sanspareil, the ship that brought us out to Mexico. The Admiral is here in the screw liner Nile, together with the following ships : Donegal, Hero, Sanspareil, and Agamemnon, screw liners; Orlando, screw frigate; Spiteful, paddle; Nimble and Landrail, screw gun vessels; and Terror, iron floating battery, The Orlando is still in the basin refitting and repairing damages sustained on her outward voyage from England. The Spiteful sails in a day or two for Jamaica, and the Nim ble starts from here to-morrow for Halifax with the mails for England, which will be taken on thence by packet. We are quartered on board the Medway hulk, and our sick occupy the Quaran tine Hospital on Ports Island. We were placed in quarantine for a few days on our first ai.riva l from Vera Cruz, but were soon released again." The Royal Marine Artillery and Light Infantry at Portsmouth were brigaded yesterday on South sea-common, under the inspection of Major-Gen. A. B. Stranshtun, C.B. Deputy-Adjt.-Gen. of the Marine Forces. The day was unu: a large number of spectators were pre. The detachments of time-expired men E.Au lid troops who arrived from Calcutta, in the It India troopship Holmsdalc, 1,520 tons, Capt. W Ferris, were inspected at St. Mary's Barracks, ("' ham, yesterday, previous to the men who hr pletcd their period of service going before a hoard to be discharged. The Holmsdalc sail( Calcutta on January 14 last, but in going dowL Hooghley took the ground, which delayed her some time. Before proceeding her bottom was examined by the divers, and the vessel, having been found to have sustained no injury, continued her voyage. The passage to Gravesend, including detentions, occupied 103 days. The troops brought home num bered 184 men of all ranks, together with the fol lowing officers, viz.—Capt. J, B. Campbell, 27th Regiment ; Lieut. G. B. B. Hobart, Royal Artillery; Quartermaster W. J. Woodruffe, 97th Regiment; and Staff Assist.-Surg. J. F. Deakin, M.D. Col. Sismore, of the Indian Artillery, arrived in the same vessel as passenger. Two men and one woman died on board during the voyage. THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. looking to the present state of the building, it is rather difficult to realise the -ant that the gxhibi tion is to - be to-m*2ow. If the—Commis sioners had at their command one of those familiar spirits we read of in the stories of diablerie, who were perpetually tormenting their masters for em ployment, the chaos which at present reigns almost supreme might, perhaps, be reduced to order suffi cient to make a way for the procession; but at pre sent the task seems almost beyond the power of mortal hands. Still, should the executive staff, who have begun to grapple with the work, at last suc ceed in driving a clear passage through the impedi- menta which lie strewed in every direction, so much the greater will be their credit. Yesterday, to move about the building was a very delicate matter, and required more circumspection than was altogether consistent with a proper observance of the progress which was being made in the arrangement of the articles to be exhibited. It was, perhaps, not so very hard to steer clear of the empty packing cases, of the rolls of matting, and vast piles of chairs which met one at every turn, nor for people mode rately active and sure-footed was it any great trial to surmount the frequent hills of large planks and timber; but these were only a few of the perils and inconveniences of the way. If at one point you started back to avoid running headforemost through a sheet of plateglass which stood reared up almost invisible in your path, it was at the risk of receiv ing in your spine the point of another square which the not very careful workmen were conveying to its destined place. Here you had to pick your way through a litter of the most delicate glass or china—there it was with the utmost caution that yeu missed damaging some recumbent statue just emerged from its coffin-like case, and waiting to bo hoisted to its appropriate pedestal. Great chasms in the floor at various points taxed your vigilance to the utmost, and occasionally it was only by un remitting agility that you escaped being swept away by the zealous Commissionaires, who were clearing out the building of the vast mounds of waste paper, hay, and straw which have been gradually accumulating ever since the unpacking began. The din of hammering was incessant and distracting in every quarter, and thick clouds of dust floated through the air visible and palpable as a genuine November fog. It is to be hoped that this plague is but temporary, and that it will subside when the process of unpacking and sweeping away is at an end, otherwise it will be unbearable, for it finds its way into the ra332.6 t es t 430-rnere) +Via tharaiEr.4o.TP.ly an article in the Exhibition, tLough Eliut up in the closest of cases, which is not covered with it. The sun, too, is not likely to be a very welcome visitor in many of the departments, and if the present weather is to be any specimen of what we are to expect in the Dog-days, it will be necessary to de vise some kind of awning to protect the visitors from his fierceness. Great progress has been made in filling the cases, particularly in the porcelain departments, and from the display already unfolded it is clear that the exhibition of pottery ware will be one of the most attractive features in the building. A more superb collection of foreign and British A ,- are has never before been brought together. The articles already unpacked by the French and German exhibitors are worthy of their ancient re putation; but when the cases of Messrs. Copeland, Messrs. Minton, and the Worcester manufacturers are disclosed we shall have no reason to blush for our countrymen. There is searcely any department in which there is greater progress visible since the Exhibition of 1851. The majolica ware of Messrs. Minton already makes a fine show ; and the Royal Pottery Works of Worcester have a case uncovered which for beauty of design and exquisite colouring will stand a comparison with the most famous manufactures of the Continent. Messrs. Copeland's cases are, for the most part, as yet uncovered, but enough of them is visible to show that their display will be magnificent. We shall be much surprised if this part of the Exhibition does not produce a great effect. Messrs. Hancock, Elkington, and others in this class, are beginning to unfold their treasures, and a close survey of both these depart ments, which lie close together, will probably be rather startling to those who have been in thehabit of talking disparagingly of the art manufactures of this country. The workmen were busy all day in hanging the colossal chandelier exhibited by Mr. Defries, which bids fair to be one of the most noticeable features in this part of the Exhibition. The French department is at last making rapid progress, and some fine bronzes were ranged in their places yesterday. The talking and singing machine promised for the Austrian department has not yet arrived, but there is not the least doubt that it will be here ultimately. At the risk of furnishing Sir George Bowyer and his friends with one or two sophistical arguments, we must say at once that the Roman Court will be one of the gems of the whole Exhibition. Besides the beautiful statuary which Mr. Doyle has already arranged in a most effective manner, there will be a fine display of Roman mosaics. Yesterday was unpacked a magnificent table, a gift from the Pope to her Majesty ; and Cardinal Antonelli exhibits a superialy carved and gilt casket. His Eminence is said to be an ardent mineralogist, and this beauti ful piece of workmanship is intended for the dis play and custody of the most precious of his speci mens. The arrangements for the opening, as far as they have been settled, remain unchanged up to the present. The throne will be erected under the western dome, though at present no visible pro gress has been made towards it, except clearing away the articles which had been displayed there with so much care and effect. The bands of the Grenadier Guards, the Coldstream, and Scots Fusi liers, conducted by Mr. Godfrey, will perform at different periods of the ceremonial. The three binds are to assemble in the centre of the nave at 11.30, where they will play together until 1.15 p.m., while the public are taking their seats. The pipers of the Scots Fusilier Guards will also play. The following pieces will be performed while the visitors are taking their places-- The Prince of Wales' March •. .. Costa. Quick March from Balfe's Opera "Bianca" A. F. Godfrey. The Schiller March, Meyerbeer. Quick March—" The Advanced Guard" C. Godfrey,jun Wedding March—" Midsummer Night's Dream" .. .. • • ..

Then composition was rehearsed, the band ducted by Mr. Costa, while dip composer his side. He was greeted with loud appl 'the whole' assembly. His work may bertalled *au overture in the style of a triumphal march. Of course it is impossible, on a single hearing, to give any account of the construction of such a composi tion ; we can only give a vague idea of its general effect. It opens impressively with a few distant sounds from the drums, which at once awake attention ; they are followed by an introductory movement gradually increasing in strength, till the theme of the grand march is given out by the full clang of the braien instruments. In the massive breadth, and full resonant harmony of this move ment, we are reminded of the march in the " Pro phet e," but this is still more gorgeous and imposing. Presently the music changes to a grave and solemn strain, as of a funeral dirge. To produce a mourn• ful effect the ordinary expedient of resorting to a minor key is not adopted, the whole of this fine passage being major. The measure then becomes rapid and impetuous; our national song, "Rule Britannia," is combined and blended with the rhythm and melody of the march with consummate skill and marvellous effect ; and in this manner the music is worked up into a climax of astonishing power and grandeur. When this rehearsal, on which Mr. Costa bestowed great care, was over, Lord Granville addressed a few complimentary words to the composer, expressing the satisfaction of the Commissioners that this national solemnity has been graced with the presence and co-opera. tion of an artist of such world-wide cele brity. M. Meyerbeer made a brief and modest reply, at the same time expressed his admi ration at the manner in which the orchestra had at first sight executed his work. When it was over Mr. Costa sat down on the platform ; M. Sainton took his place at the conductor's desk; and the instrumental accompaniments of Dr. Bennett's Ode were rehearsed without the vocal parts. They would have been very well had it been a rehearsal and nothing more; but to perform, before a large audience, the mere accompaniments of a long choral work was placing the composer at a disadvantage: We do not, however, blame anybody for this, as we understand (though no intimation has been given to that effect) that this music is to be fully re hearsed at the Exhibition today. L.-" Auber's march was rehearsed, Mr. Costa the baton. It fully realised the expectat veteran composer's admirers. It is a sple 11111 - Ofitii*irig melody r ful cffeets of instrumentation ; redolent his brightest and happiest mode. The doubt, - in short, that these new compositi, are entirely worthy of the great national celebration to which they owe their birth. In the evening, between 7 and 8 o'clock, the International Exhibition Chorus (about 520 to a part—in all little short of 2,500 singers) assembled in the same hall, which they so completely filled that, except in the gallery and side balconies, there would have been no room for visitors, had any been in vited. The conductors, MM. Costa and Sainton, were stationed on a platform in the centre of the area, nearest the orchestra. Nothing but the choral music was tried, and the only accompaniment was on the organ, at which Mr. Brownsmith, of the Sacred Harmonic Society, presided. First we had the National Anthem, the melody of which was sung alternately by the different sections of the chorus (sopranos, tenors, &c.) in unison, till at last the familiar strains burst forth in ample harmony. What we have already said of the orchestra, in alluding to the morning rehearsal, may be applied to the chorus with even stronger emphasis. The deputations from the Sacred Harmonic Society, appointed to select the most competent singers from the various country districts, have performed their difficult task with remarkable judgment. If the chorus of yesterday evening is to be the nucleus of the Handel Festival chorus at the Crystal Palace, all the prodigies yet achieved at those gigantic ex hibitions will be far excelled. We remember no such chorus. The National Anthem is, of course, child's play to practised amateurs ; but the unfa miliar harmonies of Professor Bennett's Ode—a work in every sense new and original—offered a severer test. When we say that, with but few stops (and those generally occurring at the pauses be tween the different movements), it was sung from end to end with the utmost smoothness and pre cison, some idea may be formed of the excellence of the choral force which the Sacred Harmonic Society has succeeded in bringing together on this great occasion. Nevertheless, M. Sainton went through the Ode a second time, and, as a matter of course, with proportionately good results. Of tho " Hallelujah" and " Amen," which were to follow (under Mr. Costa's guidance), we need say nothing. Roth conductors were 'welcomed with reiterated plaudits from the whole multitude of singers, the reception accorded to M. Sainton amounting to little short of what, in the glowing and occasionally fantastic language of musicians, is termed an " ova tion." Mails for the Channel Islands will be made up daily in the General Post-office from the 2d of May. REPRESENTATION OF LAMBETH. --- Yesterday evening both the candidates who are at present in the field for the representation of this borough addressed meetings of their friends—Mr. Sleigh at the Camberwell-hall, and Mr. Doulton at the Rosemary Branch, Peckham. The sup porters of both gentlemen express themselves very sanguine of success, and a close struggle is anticipated. There has been some talk during the last day or two of a Conserva tive candidate in the person of Mr. Marcus Bcresford, a gentleman who resides in the borough, and who is closely identified with the volunteer movement in tho locality, but he has not yet issued an address. THE STOCK OF COTTON.—The considerable re ceipts of cotton at Liverpool last week caused a slight rally in the stock, which, however, continuos on the whole to decline. The movement of affairs this month has been as follows as compared with April, 1861 and 'GO :- 1862. 1861. 1860 Bales. Bales. Bales.

Deducting the quantities ex ported, the average amount taken for home consumption this year has.been 26,741 bales per week as compared with 43,394 bales per week in the first four months of 1861. Not withstanding this great curtailment of operations it will be observed that the stock exhibits an extraordinary d ec li ne as compared with 1861 and 1860. This may well be the case, seeing that the total imports to April 25 this year were only 330,212 bales against 1,295,644 bales in the cone ' sponding period last year. 1-111 Is of roni ap ary, lug tion s of that 3Gs 103 123 423 E.
