This wonderful agent will restore manhood to the moat shattered constitution, whether arising from self-pollution, excesses, nocturnal emissions, the effects of climate, or natu ral causes. The time required to cure the most inveterate case is four weeks ; and, if used according to the printed in structions (which are very simple), failure is impossible. This life-restoring remedy should be taken by all about to marry, as its effects are permanent. It is acknowledged by the medical press to be the greatest discovery ever made. Success in every case is as certain as that water quenches thirst Dr. Ricord's Essence of Life is sold in cases, with full in structions for use, at ils., or four quantities in one for Ms., and will be sent to any part of the world, carefully packed, on receipt of remittance or post-office order payable to Prout and Co., Patent Medicine Warehouse, 229, Strand London.

The Lords of the Admiralty arrived at Sheerness yesterday from Chatham, in her Majesty's yacht Osborne, for the purpose of making their annual inspection of the dockyard. The members of the J. First oa . cH .r R. Drummond, present L.D, trraue am; rm_ A Vice-Adm i ralo" were md, r ca. B he C..E Duk at dhneedn He, Mr. f nB .Sirsc.apFt. Some r set, lt K. h r eH G. , Grey,Whitbread,o n M.P. ; Rear-Admiral Lord Clarence E. Paget, C. 8., M.P., First Secretary to the Admiralty ' • Rear- Admiral R. S. Robin son , C ontroller of the Navy Col. G. T. Greene, Director of Admiralty Works ' • and Capt. J. Moore, C. 8., P r i va t e S ecretary to the First Lord. Their lordships were received by Vice- Admiral W. J. Hope-Johnstone, Commander •in- Chief of the station ; Capt.-Superintendent C. Wise, A.D.C., and the heads of the departments in the dockyard, and Capt. T. P. Thompson, of the steam reserve. A guard of honour was formed by the Royal Marines from the different ships in the har bour, under the command of Capt. Butcher, R.M., her Majesty's ship Formidable. After transacting official business at the Capt.-Superintendent's-office, their lordships proceeded to the docks and inspected the Lilley, 4, screw gun vessel, the Eclipse, 4, screw gun vessel, the Terrible, 21, paddle-wheel screw frigate, and the Argus, 6, paddle-wheel sloop, all of which are being fitted for commission. They then proceeded t 9 and inspected the factory, the fitting shop, the foundry, and thb boiler shop. Mr. G. Blaxland, Chief Engineer of the yard, was in attendance upon them. After this they visited the North Star, 22, screw corvette, which is in course of construction, and which it is intended to convert into an iron-cased vessel. The new well, which is being sunk by the contractor, Mr. Thomas Tilley, of Enfield, was also inspected. Their lord ships then proceeded through the joiners' shop to the fire-engine station, where the whole of the metro politan police force stationed in the dockyard were exercised at the engines. They expressed their great satisfaction at the alacrity and despatch ex hibited by the force ; the men only having taken two minutes and a quarter from the time the order was given in getting the engine out and into full play. The various storehouses were severally inspected. After luncheon they inspected the non commissioned officers and men of the Royal Marines belonging to the Formidable and Cumberland, in the Well Marsh, and then proceeded to the Formidable, 26, flagship, the Resistance, 17, iron-plated screw ship, 600-horse power, Capt. W. S. Chamberlain, and the Devonshire, school ship. After this they proceeded to dine with Vice-Admiral W. J. Hope Johnstone, and afterwards embarked on board the Osborne for Dover. The prize firing was brought to a close late last evening, having been kept up with spirit during the whole day, notwitstanding the intense glare of the sun, which, when reflected from the targets, was almost blinding. The competitive examinations in volley and file-firing, which form part of the course of musketry in the regular service, have never pre viously been adopted into the Volunteer code; the result of these contests was therefore regarded with special interest. For the volley firing eight targets were placed side by side, and the different com panies, represented by 12 file (24 men) each, fired three volleys at 400 yards. These discharges, given at the word of command, were, in most cases, re markably steady.

In the afternoon the prize offered by Madame Van deWeyer was competed fob by 28 - Berkshire Volunteers, the contest being carried on in accordance with the rules yesterday announced. The men were marched backward and forward till they had lost all knowledge of their whereabouts, and were then directed to fire five shots judging their own distance, and without elevating the back sight of their rifles. They all stood the first test exceedingly well, some of the men succeeding in striking the target every time; but when removed to a greater distance and told to fire five additional shots kneeling, the average attained was by no means equally good. The bullets certainly flew in the right direction, and would have made persons standing on the sites of the targets exceedingly uncomfortable ; but there were fewer of those responsive " clinks" which are the first indica tions that the face of the target has been struck. The skirmishing prize of £lO, given by Mr. Hib bert, was next competed for, the proceedings being very similar in their character to those just described, with this exception—that the men were allowed to use the back sight in aiming at the targets. In each case, to prevent confusion, every competitor had his own target allotted to him, and these were severally verified' at the close of the shooting. _ one's own correspondent in italy7but same time, I a ssure you, as I can hones tly, and do assure you, that I k now as much a b ou t the subject as the King' s Mi n i sters, the members if, at the of both Houses of Parliam en t, the Prefect elect of the Pro vince of Palermo, or, indeed, any person in Turin, public or private, or any of Gar:baldi's intimate friends, here or elsewhere in Italy, or any, even in Sicily of those who environ him, you would perhaps acquit me of all blame as to any remissness I may be deemed guilty of in the discharge of my news man's duties. The last intelligence from Sicily announces that Garibaldi had left Palermo on his way to Messina ; that Volunteers land almost daily at Palermo from the North- Italian provinces and from Naples ; that rumours of a projected expedition are rife both in the Sicilian and Neapolitan capitals, and Govern ment is straining every nerve, adopting every pre caution, to prevent it. A battalion of the 45th Regiment, Reggio Brigade, embarked yesterday for the south. The other battalions of the same corps leave to-day. On the other hand, the swarming of Volunteers to the southward is said to be incessant, and the Government everywhere lights upon the traces of the clandestine work of most mysterious, private enlistments. A committee of persons con ducting these enrolments has lately been detected at Pesaro. Several of its members were arrested, and legal proceedings have been commenced. These are a few of the threads of the tangled skein ; the clue no man can get at. Garibaldi talks big in Sicily ; he beards the Imperial lion at the Tuileries ; he strives to rouse the masses of those Southern islanders, as if he would lead them to Rome at a moment's notice. " Only ene man is Italy's enemy in France," says he, " and it is the very man who has robbed the French nation of its liberties and waded to the throne through a sea of blood. Let us attack the French garrison at Rome, crying, 'Long live France and the French army, no less than the people, will join us, and thank us for the signal we shall thus give them to rise and shake off the igno minious yoke a Dutch adventurer has imposed. There is no war between us and the French, and there will be no fight. Instead of crossing bayonets we shall rush into each other's arms. The debt we owe to the sister nation will then be fully paid. Those who delivered Milan will rejoice to see Rome free, and the day the Italian tricolour shall wave on the Capitol will see the Imperial standard struck at the Louvre." Such are Garibaldi's ideas, expressed in more or less coarse, but awfully plain language, as he shows himself to the multitude from town to town. The names of " robber," of " infamous traitor," freely lavished on the conqueror of Solferino, the "14 years' lies, perjuries, and base intrigues" with which he upbraids him, hardly add strength to his argu ment, which lies mainly in this, that an attack upon the French at Rome is the best means of winning the sympathies, changing the destinies, and securing the fraternity and solidarity of the French nation. These, it is well known, were the fond notions with which Mazzini flattered himself at the time of the siege of Rome by the French in 1849. By these strange delusions the inspired pro phet of Young Italy stirred up and nerved the courage of the Italian youths, who, under the guid ance of this same Garibaldi, held their ground against fearful odds for so many months, and contributed, perhaps, more efficiently than the deeds of arms at Goito, Pastrengo, and St. Lucia to rehabilitate the name of the Italians as fighting men. At the very moment that the French of Oudinot forced the gate of St. Pancrazio, Mazzini felt sure, and made sure as many as would believe him, that Ledru Rollin and all the French Republicans were ready to come to the rescue, in time for revenge and redress, at least, if not for defence. These Mazzinian hallucinations Garibaldi dived into in 1849 with all the trusting impetuosity of his ingenuous nature. The impres sion :was rapidly made, but it sunk deep. After 14 years of enchantment the General has still that faith in French democracy, that, I dare say, Ledru Rollin himself has long lost. Yet, will Garibaldi really act up to his proud words; will he carry arms against the French gar rison at Rome ? How many followers he might reckon upon for such an undertaking it would not be easy to say. There is, indeed, a stir and a swarm ing everywhere of Italian youths, but there is no where any strong gathering of them—none percep tible, at least. The loud plaudit which everywhere greets him seems, to judge from the testimony of well-informed people, something very hollow and barren. Those who shout and storm are only the masses, the unthinking, irresponsible masses. The sound and sober-minded people hold aloof ; many of them are simply dismayed, some disgusted. The thought of venturing upon an unprovoked collision with France seems to most men to border on sheer madness, and the cruel but irresistible conviction that Garibaldi is not in his right senses steals to the hearts of not a few of his most earnest admirers and followers. Yet Garibaldi talks of his march to Rome as of something irremovably resolved upon ; he professes himself determined to go whether he leads his thousand heroes of old, or whether he can only pick up 100, or 50, or 10. His mind is made up, and who shall stand in his way ? The Government here feel very sure that they have the power to prevent his doing mischief. The French cruisers blockade all the Roman coast, and were the hero to venture out at sea and meet them, he might find less mercy and forbearance at their hands than was shown him by the two English frigates which attended his landing at Marsala. Moreover, the King's forces from the North are public order at any keeping pauriag p d e o a w ce a a u n p d o m a aiNnatapilneisnganpdu Sicily, bent on price.

More anyve r r e y ad p col lected on the main land, and might be hid among the thronging population of Naples. The distance between this latter town and Rome is not great, and the frontier line is extensive, ruggedly indented, woody, and mountainous, difficult to guard on either side, as the late brigand forays have shown us. As the King's Government are sure they can can sh y uytaeltuwphaatshshe walk through so is Garibaldi confident he rerdla laya ngemrsmind d to whenever go t through u h g a h s ? a mind.

A list for the entry of officers' names who may wish to attend the levee will lie at the College until 4 p.m. on Tuesday, the sth inst., after which it will be closed. The Lords of the Admiralty are expected to arrive at Portsmouth on board their yacht Osborne for their annual inspection of the naval and marine establishments of the port on Tuesday next. The Mersey, 40, screw, Capt. H. Caldwell, C. 8., arrived at Spithead yesterday morning, under sail from Halifax, from which port she sailed on July 17. At the time of the Mersey's departure from Halifax, the Nile, Capt. E. K. Barnard (flagship of Vice-Admiral Sir Alexander Milne, K.C.8.), the Agamemnon, 98, screw, were at that port, the two latter under orders to proceed to Port Royal. The Aboukir was to take the place of the Imaum, flag ship there, and the Agamemnon was then to return to England with a number of the Aboukir's crew. The Mersey has brought home from Halifax part of the Aboukir's officers and ship's company, and also a few naval invalids and prisoners from the ships on the station. The Mersey awaits orders at Spithead, which are expected to pay out of com mission, the ship's hull and machinery requiring extensive repairs. Moderate weather was experi enced during the voyage home from Halifax. The Racehorse, 6, screw, 200-horse power, by Napier and Son, Glasgow, Commander Boxer, tested her machinery at the measured mile, Stokes Bay, near Portsmouth, on Thursday, on the:completion of her alterations and repairs by the factory depart ment of the port, prior to her departure for foreign service. The weather was favourable for the trial. The ship drew 12ft. 6in, of water aft, and 10ft.10in. forward. The load on the safety-valve was 201 b., with a pressure of steam in boilers of 19 2.3, and a vacuum of 23 inches. The maximum revolutions of the engines were 92 and the minimum 903,the in dicated horse-power being 758.18, and the speed of the ship in knots 10.406. The propeller used was a Griffiths' two bladed, with a diameter of lift. and pitch of 16ft. bin. With the port helm over to 31 deg. the ship made a complete circle in 4 min. and 36 sec. With the starboard helm over to 25 deg. the circle was made in 4 min. 49 sec. The tempe rature ranged, on deck, from 67 to 68 deg. ; in the engine-room, from 97 to 101 deg.; and in the after stoke hole from 87 to 104 deg. The machinery and boilers gave perfect satisfaction, and, with some slight alterations to her back firebars, which will be completed this morning, the ship will be ready to proceed to sea. She awaits final orders. The Psyche, paddle yacht, got up steam yesterday in the steam basin at Portsmouth to test the joints of her machinery, &e., in the course of her outfit by Messrs. Maudslay, Field, and Sons, and has com menced coaling preparatory to her trial at the mea sured mile in Stokes t?ay, She is expected to attain a very high rate of speed. The launch of the Enchantress is to take place at the dockyard at Pembroke this day. She is a most beautifully modelled vessel, of 835 tons and 250-horse power. Her fine lines and clear run have given the impression that she is intended for a yacht —a gift to the Emperor of Japan ; but the fact is she is to be a paddlewheel despatch vessel, for which her sharpness and high power will admirably suit her. 7HE A Rllll% Yesterday morning the troop s i n garrison at Dover, comprising six batteries of Royal A rt il lery, under the command of Col. Fisher, - the 59th an Regi ment y ment of Infantry, under command of Col. urme C. 13., and the 83d, command ed by Col. B ster, were assembled upon the drill -ground for the par pose of conferring th e Vi ctoria Cross o n Lieut. Edward Talbot Thack era y , of the Royal Bengal Engineers, now on dut y at th at garrison. A letter from the llrar-office, dated July 17 , expressing her Majesty's regret that she was linable to decorate the recipient herself: and a n extract f rom the G aze tt e , were read.

The negroes have been placed under the care of the proper government officer at Rupert's Valley, The Ascot meeting has been fertile in novelties, but perhaps the most valuable of these is the new mode of sheltering markers. Ordinarily they are cooped up in narrow, not over secure mantlets, where, if the weather be unfavourable, they must sit and be rained on all the day long, as protection of any kind overhead would interfere with the free working of the signals. On this studiously uncom fortable system Sir Paul Hunter's plan is a great improvement. He has caused pits to be dug in the ground to a depth of seven feet, throwing up the clay excavated as a shelter at the back of the holes. The pits are then covered in with umbrella-shaped roofs of timber almost level with the ground, over which clay is likewise spread, rendering them per fectly bullet-proof. In the direction of the target the soil is cut away in order to give a clear view to the marker, who thus, removed from danger and protected from the weather, can walk about in the pit, and indicate the hits made on the adjacent sig nal-cross. The cost of these pits is each, but they are decidedly superior in construction to any of those in ordinary use ; and at long range firing they are invaluable, as they present no perceptible obstacle to the line of sight. The Berkshire Asso ciation, in the interest of the Volunteer movement, have made all their arrangements admirably hut in doing so they have necessarily incurred considerable expense. The outlay upon the meeting at Ascot will be at least £6OO. To render permanent the advantages of such a gathering, it is therefore in dispensable that those whose time, more precious than money, does not admit of their taking part in the encampment, should co-operate with the asso ciation by the only effectual means in their power. Asaproof of th e so lid a d van t ag es derivable from meetings of this nature, it may be mentioned that on Thursday evening, after the duties of the day were completed, a match was improvised between 11 of the 20 best Berkshire shots and 11 sergeants of the Guards on duty at the camp, many of whom bear the marksman's badge. The contest tei uri nated, though by a narrow majority, in favour of the Berkshire Volunteers. SCIENTIFIC BALLOON ASCENT. MR. GLAISHER'S OBSERVATIONS. Mr. Coxwell having planned an ascent with his large balloon from the Crystal Palace on Wednes day last, I availed myself of the offer of a seat in the car for the purpose of taking a serious of ob servations upon the variations of temperature, and the several hygrometrical states of the atmosphere at moderate elevations, and which I had failed to do in myrecent ascent from W o l ver h ampton. The instruments necessary for these investiga tions were in the hands of Messrs. Negretti and Zambra, and were those which were broken and injured in my recent ascent in the same balloon, and confided to them for renewal and repair, and which they had executed in a very satisfactory manner, these gentlemen having at all times ex pressed an earnest desire to promote the experi ments required by the British Association. All the other instruments are at Wolverhampton, ready for the next high ascent. The instruments used on this occasion were two aneroid barometers, dry and wet bulb thermometers, and a Daniell's dew-point hygrometer. As it is of essential importance that the thermo meters should be so sensitive that they readily acquire the temperature of the surrounding air, they were of necessity very delicate. The air was in very gentle motion, which en abled Messrs. Negretti and Zambra carefully to fix the instruments before starting, so that I at once began to observe, which I was unable to do in my recent ascent till I was nearly a mile high. The balloon left the earth at 4h. 40m., laden with 13 gentlemen and a large amount of sand for ballast, and, under the influence of a moderate breeze, bore away slowly nearly S.E., passing suc cessively Eltham and Dartford, to the village of Singlewell, near Gravesend. The heights the balloon successively attained were as follows : At 4h. 43m. it had attained the elevation of 1,340 ft. above the level of the sea ; at 4h. 49m. was 3,700 ft.; increased slowly till, at sh. 17m., it was about 5,300 ft.; it then by sh. 20m., fell 200 ft. ; on throwing out sand it rose to 5,500 ft., by sh. 24m., and to G,6ooft. by sh, 43m. ; some gas was let out, and it sank to 5,700 ft. by sh. 47m. ; some sand was thrown out, and it rose to 7,350 ft., the highest point reached, at 611. lm. ; at 6h. om. i t fell to 6,700 ft. ; some sand was thrown out, and it rose to 7,looft_ by Gh. 12w. ; at 20 minutes past G it descended to 5 , 300 ft ., and slowl y to 2,100 ft. by Gb. ' 25w., and to the earth at a little a fter half-p ast 6. Between 4h. 46m. and sh. lm. the altitude and azimuth of the balloon were observed at the Ob s ervatory, Greenwich, by E. J Royal If any similar observations; ato b have be e e nat favoured n taken an other place, I should be them, as furnishing the m eans of an ind e p e ndent determination of the elev a ti ons of the balloon, and thus checking those made by pressure. means of the variation of temperature and barometric The temperatur e of (32 the Crystal Paine . at 1,000 the air was 68 degrees At feet high it No' Test ozone papers were not coloured at all, and no ozone was noticed in the ascent from Wolver hampton. We were never in the clouds, although rocky cumuli (which, it will be remembered, are the fine massive clouds of day) were at a lower elevation all around, and cumulo-strati at a higher elevation than ourselves. The sky was free from clouds in the zenith, and a deeper blue than as seen from the surface of the earth. At times there was a great mist, and generally the horizon was hazy and obscure. The shadow of the balloon was seen on the ground as well as on the surface of the cloud. A horizontal magnet occupied a somewhat longer time to perform a certain number of vibrations, in this as well as in the previous ascent, than it did on the surface of the earth; this is contrary to the result obtained by Gay-Lussac in 1804. At 5h 21m. a gun was heard with a sharp sound; at sh. 25m. a drum was heard ; at sh. 26m. a band was heard; at sh. 38m. a gun was heard; and at 6h. 10m. a dog was heard barking ; and the work ing of the engines on the Dover and Chatham Rail way was distinctly heard. I have to thank Mr. W. F. Ingelow for kindly reading one barometer for me and for rendering considerable assistance in noticing the first appear. ance of dew on the black bulb of the hygrometer, enabling me thereby greatly to increase the number of my own observations. The gas furnished must have been of good quality to have raised so great a weight to such an elevation. The descent was managed by Mr. Colwell so that no instrument was injured in the slightest degree, and, in fact, the approach to the earth was so gradual that there was scarcely need to steady one's self. ~; r e~ ~ ~~' ~~ —c/ e Among the remaining toasts were "The Houses of Parliament and Mr. Hutt, M.P. ;" "The Bench and the Bar, and the Master of the Rolls and the Attorney-General ;" " The Corporation of London and Alderman Dakin ;" "The Companies of the City of London and the Master of the Grocers' Com pany ;" and " Prosperity to the Fishmongers' Com pany." The music was under the direction of Mr. IL Buckland, assisted by Madame Weiss, Miss Poole, Mr. W. Dawson, Mr. D. King, Mr. W. H. Weiss, and Mr. F. Walker. Mr. Harker was present as toastmaster.

(Cheers.) And further, he would venture to express a hope that while respectful to other nations they would think themselves justified in viewing with sym.. pathy the cause of order and regulated freedom over the whole surface of the earth; and that when they saw a country, as they had lately seen the Italian peninsula, rising from along period of degradation, oppression, and division, due not to themselves but to those who had forced upon them those evils, and showing its capacity for the exercise of free dom, there would rise from the breast of every Englishman a fervent prayer that in that case the cause of freedom might be blessed. (Cheers.) He thought that no greater services had been rendered of late to the cause of freedom than those which had been contributed to it during the last three or four years by the Italian people. (Cheers.) They had seen a nation with every temptation to excess exhibiting a degree of self-control which would have done honour to a people in the enjoyment of the oldest liberties. The noble lord at the head of the Government had been one of the warmest and fastest friends of Italian freedom, even in its earliest infancy. (Cheers.) He had seen it rise gradually from infancy to manhood, and ho now beheld it, not a source of danger and convulsion to Europe, but one of the mainstays of order and civi lisation. (Cheers.) He would conclude by expres sing a hope that the Government o f this country, whatever might be its composition, would always contribute to the cause of human liberty and pro gress. (Cheers.)

STAMPED deg. ; at 3,700 feet it was•sl deg. ; continued at this reading nearly till the height of 4,500 feet was reached at sh. 4m. ; varied between 48 deg. and 50 deg. till the height of 5,700 feet was reached ; it decreased from 48 deg. to 433 deg. between sh. 31m. and sh. 38m., the height at the latter time being 6,100 feet. At the height of 7,350 feet the tempe rature was 41 deg., being 27 deg. lower than on the surface of the ground; after this the tempera ture rose gradually as the balloon approached the ' earth, and was 47 deg. at 6h. 20w., 50 deg. at 61]. 24m., and 68 deg. on reaching the ground. The temperatures of the dew point, or that tem- 1 perature at which the moisture in the air, in the 1 invisible shape of vapour, is deposited as water upon the objects cooled down to this temperature, were successively as follows :—ln the gardens of the 1 Crystal Palace this deposit of water took place when the temperature of the bulb of the hygrometer was reduced by the action of ether to 50 deg.; at the height of 1,300 ft. the bulb was bedewed at 43 deg.; between 3,000 ft. and 4,500 ft. at 40 deg.; then up to 6,000 ft. at temperatures gradually decreasing at about 7,300 ft. to a little below 32 deg., and it after wards increased to 47 deg. on reaching the surface of the earth. .When air is saturated with moisture, as in a wetting fog, the temperatures both of the air and dew point are the same. On this oe-anion on the earth the latter temperature was 18 ueg. be low the former, and at the highest elevation was 9 deg., so that the air was nowhere saturated. 'Prom a knowledge of the temperature of the dew point we know the amount of Inter then present in a certain amount of air. This amounted in the grounds of the Crystal Palace to 4 grains in a cubic foot ; at 1,300 ft. high to 3 grains; at 5,000 ft- to about 24 grains; and at 7,300 ft. there were about 2 grains in a cubic foot of air. As the amount of aqueous vapour in the air neces sarily decreases with the temperature, the changes of the hygrometric condition of the air at different elevations may be better understood by speaking of the relative humidity of the atmosphere, by consi dering air saturated with moisture as represented by 103, and air without moisture by O. The humidity of the air thus expressed was on the surface of the ground 50, showing an unusual degree of dryness. It increased as we left the earth to 63 at 3,000 feet, to 66 at 4,000 feet, and 70 at 7,300 feet, and the air gradually became less humid on approaching the earth. At no point, therefore, was complete saturation met with, as before noticed. The weight of a cubic foot of air varied from 526 grains on the ground to 429 grains at the greatest height reached. Similar and simultaneous observations were taken at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, from which we learn that the temperature of the air on the surface of the ground varied from 67 deg. to 68 deg. ; that of the dew point from 49 deg. to 51 deg, ; that there were about four grains of water in a cubic foot of air ; the degree of humidity was about 50, and the weight of a cubic foot of air was 526 grains ; therefore, the differences at the high elevations from these values are duo to the elevation alone. BANQUET AT FISHMONGERS' HALL. Yesterday evening a banquet of the most sump tuous character was given at the Fishmongers'-hall by the Prime Warden and the other wardens of the company to a distinguished party, including a large number of the honorary members. The chair ,was taken by AIL Western Wood, M.F. Among those present were the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, the Right Hon. Sir John Romilly, his Excellency the American Minister, Vice-Chan cellor Sir \V. Page Wood, his Excellency Vice- Admiral Mehemmed Pacha, Muhater Bey, Rish Allah Bey, the Attorney-General, Sir Rowland Hill, K.C.8., Sir Joseph Paxton, M.P., &c. After the usual loyal and patriotic toasts, The CHAIRMAN proposed" Her Majesty's Minis ters," and after alluding to the unavoidable absence of Lord Palmerston, who, he said, was prevented from attending by the contumacy of Mr. Cobden one of their honorary members --(great laughter)— he concluded by associating with the toast the name of the Chancellor of the Exc he q uer, upon whom he pronounced a high eulogium: After a warm response to the toast, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he cordially concurred in the regret expressed at the compulsory absence of his noble friend the head of the Government, who, he knew, had looked for ward with the utmost satisfaction to the prospect of being present on that occasion. He felt that in addressing that company he was addressing those whose sentiments were in general unison with the feelings of the country.

EXPECTED BREEZE WITH A CONFEDERA' STEAMER IN THE CHANNEL. For several days some cscitment has been caused at Lloyd's, and amongst those engaged in the American shipping trade, by the sudden and some what remarkable movements_ of the United States steam frigate Tuscarora, which it will be remem bered kept such a vigilant watch over the Nashville. In the course of last Tuesday a large steamer, called the Merrimac, sailed from Plymouth, and, although she cleared for Nassau, it was stated that it was well known that she was intended to attempt to break the blockade, and to enter one of the Southern ports, and that a considerable premium of insurance was paid upon her. It was also averred that her cargo was well known, that she had been purchased by the Confederates, and that she had on board some guns which were for a large steamer which was to follow the Merrimac, On the fact being made known that the Merrimac had sailed, the Tuscarora, which had been lying in Southamp ton Waters the last fortnight, suddenly got up steam and took her departure in the course of Tuesday night, and it was understood that she had gone in chase. On the same day that the Merrimac left Plymouth a large, powerful, new steamer, built by Messrs. Laird and Co., and called for the time "No. 290," having no British register, sailed from the Mersey, and it is reported that when off Point Lynas she took on board a number of men in addi tion to her crew. For some reason not explained No. 290 put into Holyhead on Thursday, where her crew left her. It is now alleged that this ship is intended for the Confederate government, and that herd guns are on board the Merrimac. It is thought that the Tuscorara met with little success in over taking the Merrimac, for in the course of yeste r d ay morning the Tuscorora put into Queenstown, and a later telegram announces that she was to sail for Holyhead in the course of the afternoon, so as to be in attendance upon No. 290, should she attempt to pass down the St. George's Channel, and to take her, as the report says, at all hazards.

The truth of this state police, the I ----stained with blood —and —an by the discovery of the k n ife in the place where he said he had hid it. On 1 w hat psychical or pathological principle is such an act to be explained ? To say the man is mad is an easy way of getting out of the difficulty. But is it the right one ? Is the adoption of such an hypo thesis consistent with public safety ? Is the com mission of a great crime a fact which is to be held sufficient to prove madness? Cana man' s wish t o get rid of his own life, and his nursing a diabolical purpose until it masters every better feeling, be held valid ground for claiming irresponsibility ? T hese are questions which i t is im p ossib le to answer in theaffi rmative on general scientific grounds.
