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

ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRIICEA; with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis, Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. " Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette.' " 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. " We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford; but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one Interested in the matter." — Dublin Medical Press. - • • • --- London : H.

STAMPED, SD. houses there had been for a considerable time, and he was borne out in that opinion by . the present Speaker. Proceeding to notice the principal topics in the report, he hoped the Bankruptcy Bill would be introduced as a Government measure, and that the present Attorney-General, who was a zealous and sincere Reformer, would have the charge of it. He had never been able to see why a writ should not be serviceable in any part of the United King dom, and hoped that would be carried among other measures in the ensuing session. The recent decision in the law of collisions at sea revealed an anomalous state of things, which also called for speedy remedy. Alluding to the question of cruelties at sea, brought forward by Mr. Monckton Milues, he was sorry to say that these cases were far more common in American vessels, though they did occasionally occur in British ships. He hoped some change would be made next sassion, or at some future time, in the law on that subject, which should give us summary jurisdiction in such cases. He also trusted that we should have a measure neat session for the sale of ,grain by weight, observing that the cental was giving very general, if not universal, satisfaction. He should be glad if the immense number of articles which now " disfigured . ' our tariff (producing very little revenue, whilst hampering trade) were entirely swept away from it, but, from the pressing claims upon the Chancellor of the ExChequer, their re removal was hardly to be expected just yet. Mr. C. BUSHELL seconded the adoption of the report. remarking that it chambers of commerce ceased to act, there would be such a collapse in practical - . legislation as regarded commercial matters, that the public would have a greater ap preciation of their value. They were entitled to more support than they generally received. The motion was then carried. The remaining business was of a formal character. ESCAPE OF MILITARY PRISONERS AND CLEVER CAPTURE. Yesterday a clever capture of four out of five military prisoners, who had broken out of the Artil lery prison at Woolwich, was made by the police at Greenwich. It appears that the whole of the men had been tried by courts-martial for various offences and were awaiting sentence. During the night they succeeded in cutting away the wood work surrounding the lock of the door of the cell, and having gained access to the passage, they there broke into the private quarters of an officer, at present on foreign service, and stole a quantity of plated articles and jewellery. Although a. sentry was on duty, they contrived to get away unper ceived, and all being in plain clothes, no description could be given of them. About 5 o'clock this morn ing, Police-constable Looker, 295 It, was on duty in the Lower-road, Deptford, and stopped a young man who gave his name Stephen Bennett, belonging to Bristol, and on his road to London. The con stable, not being satisfied with his appearance, at once proceeded to search him, and having found two gold brooches and several silver spoons, to gether with other articles in his possession, he was taken into custody and locked up. A short time afterwards three other men were stopped on Black heath by Police-constables Watts, 70, and Edwards, 220, It, two of whom gave their names as Wm. Atkins and Thos. Williams, were secured, but the third, who is at present at large, succeeded in mak ing good his escape by swimming across the Retvensbourne at Lewisham. In the poseession of these two men other plated articles were found, and a struggle at once took place between them and the constables, but they were eventually over powered and locked up. About half an hour after wards information was received that another of the escaped prisoners had been apprehended by Police sergeant APPlierson, 50 R lie gave his name as Geo. Waters, and at the time of his capture three bottles of whisky were found in his possession, which have since been ascertained to belong to Mr. Turner, landlord of the Director-General, Welling ton-street, Woolwich, whose premises had been entered during the night by the cellar flap being forcibly removed. THE NA fl. Her Mnjesty, the Prince Consort, with the mem bers of the Royal family at present at Osborne, and suite, arrived in Portsmouth harbour soon after 10 a.m. yesterday on board the Fairy screw yacht, with the Elfin in attendance, from Osborne, receiving the customary salute from the men-of war and the forts of the garrison, the Russian squadron at the Motherbank being first dressed out in bunting and leading off the Royal salute ; her Majesty was received at the Royal Clarence Yard by the military and naval authorities and a guard of honour of the South Tipperary Militia Artillery. Immediately after land'ng from the Fairy, her Majesty left by special train for Vaux hall. The National Defence Committee embarked yes terday morning at Portsmouth on board the Sprightly, steam tender, Master Commander Al len, and with a Government pilot (Mr. Jones) on board proceeded to the Needles passage to complete their inspection of the western approaches to Spit- head. Orders have been received at Chatham for the fol lowing officers belonging to that garrison to em bark for Calcutta—viz , Ensign Jones and Ensign Bains, Bth Regiment; Ensign Fellowes and Ensign Caldwell, 24th Regiment. The first superannuations under the revised scale of pensions recently adopted by the Lords of the Admiralty have just been made at Chatham dock yard, in ;accordance with the provisions of the Civil Service Superannuation Act, the mechanics and artisans receiving nearly double the amount of pension awarded under the old scheme. The lead• ing men of shipwrights superannuated receive each £57 7s. Bd. per annum; the shipwrights, £46 19s. each per annum instead of £24 under the for mer allowance ; the spinners in the ropery, £45 4s. 2d. per tnnum ; the first class labourers, £3l 6s. per annum ; and the police-constables superannuated, £25 10s. 81 per annum. The supe rior officers of the yard will also receive a similar improved scale of allowance. Her Majesty's paddlewheel steamer Vivid sailed from Woolwich on Sunday for Dover, to embark, it is said, his Royal Ilighness Prince Alfred and suite for Ostend. The sailing transports Reaper and Great Britain have been chartered by the War Department to ship stores from Woolwich. Her Majesty's steamer Donegal arrived in the Mersey yesterday.

The closing of the Princess's Theatre, and the end of Mr: Kean's career as a manager, which have formed such staple subjects of conver sation • during the past season, - are now accom plished facts, and the most brilliant, open-handed, painstaking management to be found in the annals of the drama—a management which brought to the fulfilment of its duties not only liberality and spirit, but energy and education—must now be numbered among the things of the past. Last night - saw the termination' of Mr. Kean's lessecship of the-Princess's Theatre, and henceforth it is only in memory that he will be associated with it. The Shaksperian play of the evening was " Henry the Eighth," and at the conclusion of the performance Mr. Kcan delivered the following address : L idles and Gentlemen,—This night concludes my managerial career. The good ship whch I have commanded for nine years, through storm and sunshine, calm and tempest, is now about to re-enter harbour, and, in nautical phrase, to be paid off; its able and efficient crew dispersed, soon, however, to be re-commissioned under a new captain, to sail once more, as I sin cerely hope, on a prosperous voyage. It is always painful to bid adieu to those with whom we have been associated long and intimately ; how deeply, then, must I feel this moment of separation from my constant supporters—patrons—friends—nevei to meet again under the same relative circum stances ? You have accompanied me through sea sons of incessant toil and intense anxiety, but your encouragement has lightened my labours, and your approbation has compensated me for manifold diffi culties and disappointments. I may, perhaps, be expected, on an occasion like the-present, to flak some allusions to the principles of management I have invariably adopted. I have always enter tained the conviction that in illustrating the great plays of the greatest poet who ever wrote for the advantage of man historical accuracy might be so blended with pictorial effect that instruction and amusement would go hand in hand, and that the more completely such a system was carried out so much more valuable and impressive would be the lesson conveyed. In fact, I was anxious to make the theatre a school, as well as a recreation, and the reception given to the plays thus submitted to your judgment, combined IN ith the unprecedented num ber of their repetitions, bear, I think, conclusive evidence that my views were not altogether errone ous. I find it impossible to believe, as some have asserted, that because every detail is studied with an eye to truth, such a plan can in the most remote degree detract from the beauties of the poet. My admiration, I may say adoration, of Shakspere, would never have allowed me to do that which I could possibly conceive would be detrimental to his mighty genius; nor can I suppose that this greet master would have been more highly esteemed had I been less correct in the accessories by which I surrounded him. I would vcntnre to ask, if in the play of this evening you have lost one jot of the dramatic interest, because in the ball-room, at, York-place, and at the Queen's trial, at Black friars, every incident introduced is closely adopted from the historical descriptions recording those very events, as they actually occurred above three hundred years ago—l would ask, I repeat, whether the fall of Wolsey has been thereby rendered less effective, or the death of Katherine less solemn and pathetic ? I would also venture to add that Ido not think you would have been more impressed with the address of King Henry V. to his army at Agincourt had it been delivered to a scanty few, incorrectly attired, and totally undisciplined, in stead of a well trained mass of men, representing the picture of a real host, clothed and accoutred i the exact costume and weapons of the time. I re member that when I produced the " Winter's Tale" as a Greek play—that is, with Greek dresses, Greek customs, and Greek architecture—an objection was raised by some, that, although the scene was ' situated at Syracuse—then a Greek colony—whose ' king consults the celebrated Oracle of Delphi, yet the play was said to be essentially English and ought to be so presented, because allusions in various parts bore reference to this country, and to the period when the author wrote. You would, per haps, ladies and gentlemen, have been somewhat astonished and perplexed to have seen the chest containing the answer of the Greek Oracle to the Greek King—supposed to have been delivered above 2,000 years ago—borne ipan the stage by the Beefeaters of Queen Elizabeth. You would, per haps, have been equally surprised to have witnessed at this theatre Leontes as a Greek king, in the last act, attired as Hamlet Prince of Denmark ; and yet such an incongruity was accepted within the last 20 years. I have been blamed for depriving Macbeth of a dress never worn at any period, or in any place, and for providing him instead with one re sembling those used by the surrounding nations with whom the country of this chieftian was in constant intercourse. Fault was also found in my removal of the gorgeous banquet, and its gold and silver vessels, together with the massive candelabra —such as no Highlander of the 11th century ever gazed upon—and with the substitution of the more appropriate feast of coarse fare, served upon rude t a bles, and lighted by simple pine torches ; I was admonished that such diminution of regal pomp impaired the strength of Macbeth's mo tive or the crime of murder—the object being less dazzling and attractive. Until that hour I had never believed that the Scottish Thane had an eye to King Duncan's plate; I had imagined that lofty ambition—the thirst of power—and the desire of supreme command, developed themselves with equal intensity in the human heart, whether their scene of action might be the palace of an European monarch or the wigwam of an American Indian. In the tragedy of "'"Macbeth" I was con demned for removing splendour that was utterly out of place, while in " Henry the Eighth" I was equally condemned for its introduction where it was in place, and in perfect accordance with the time and situation. I was told I might be permitted to present a true piCture of Ancient Assyria in Lord Byron's play of " Sardanapalus," but on no account must I attempt to be equally correct in Shakspeare's " Macbeth "—that drama must remain intact, with all its time , honoured conventional improprieties. What would the poet gain, and how much would the public lose, by the perpetuation of such absur dities ? Why should I present to you what I know to be wrong, when it is in my power to give what I know to be right ? If, as it is sometimes affirmed, my system is injurious to the poet, it 'most be equally so to the actor ; and surely my most deter mined opponents will admit that at least I have pursued a very disinterested policy in thus incurring for so many yenrs so much labour and expense for the purpose of professional suicide. Had I been guilty of ornamental introductions for the mere ob pet of show and idle spectacle, I should assured l y 'have committed a grievous error ; but, ladies and gentlemen, I may safely assert that in no single instance have I ever permitted historical truth to be sacrificed to theatrical effect. As a case in point, let me refer to the Siege of Harfleur, as presented on this stage. It was no ideal battle—no imagi nary fight ; it was a correct representation of what actually had taken place. The engines of war, the guns, banners, fire-balls, the attack and defence, the barricades at tb e breach, the conffagration within the town, the assault and capitulation, were all taken from the account left to us by a priest who accom panied the army, was an eye-witness, and whose Latin. MS. is now in the British Museum. The same may be said of the episodes in " Henry the Fifth" and "Richard the Second"—indeed, whatever I have done has been sanctioned by history, to which I have adhered in every minute particular. To carry out this system the cost has been enor mous—far too great for the limited arena in which it was incurred. As a single proof, I may state that in this little theatre, where £2OO is considered a large receipt, and £250 an extraordinary one, I expended in one season alone a sum little short of £50,000. During the run of some of the great re vivals, as they are called, I have given employment, and ensequently weekly payment, to nearly 5N pers.sns ; and, if you taac into calculation the families dependent on these parties, the number I have thus supported may be multiplied by four. These plays, from the moment they first suggested themselves to my mind until their production, oc cupied each about a twelvemonth in preparation. In improvements and enlargements to this build ing, to enable the representation of these Shalt sperian plays-= - -plays that, from the moment of stiggcstion to their fulfilment, occupied each an entire twelvemonth—l have expended about £3,000. This amount may, I think, be reckoned at or above £lO,OOO, when I include the additions made to the general stock ; all of which, by the terms of my lease, I am bound (with the exception of our own personal wardrobe) unconditionally to leave behind me on my secession from management. I mention these facts simply as evidence that I was far more actuated by an enthusiastic love of my art than by any expectation of personal emolument. Having said thus much, I need not deny that I have been no gainer in a commercial sense. More restricted notions, and a more parsimonious outlay, might, perhaps, have led to a very different result; but I could not be induced by such considerations to check my desire to do what I considered right, and what would, in my opinion, advance the best interests of my profession. Whatever loss I have sustained is I amply recompensed by the favour you have be- I stowed- upon my efforts. So far, indeed, from regretting the past, if I could recall the years gone by, with renewed health and strength, I would gladly . undertake the same it task again, for a similar reward. I do not now retire from the direction of this the Are through any feeling of disappointment, but from the remembrance of the old adage, "The pitcher goes often to the well,, but the pitcher, at last, may be broken." Mind and body require rest, after such active exercise for nine years during the best period of life, and it could not be a matter of surprise -if I-sunk under a continuance of the combined dutieS "of actor and manager of a theatre where everything has grown into gigantic proportions; indeed, I should long since have succumbed, had I not been sustained and seconded by the indomitable energy and the devoted affection of- my wife. You have only seen her in the fulfilment of her professional pursuits, and are, therefore, unable to estimate the value of her assistance and counsel ; she was ever by my side in the hour of need, ready to revive my drooping spirits, and to stimulate me to fresh exertion. I cannot allow this opportunity to pass without cor- ; recting an erroneous impression which has to some extent gone abroad, that in retiring from manage ment I also contemplated retirement from the stage. _ I have neither announced- nor conceive d such intention ; but, on the contrary, I hope, if my life be spared, it - least for a limited number of years to appear as an actor. The necessity of , ful filling a long round of provincial engagements will cause a long . time to ?lapse before I can again have lifilopPortunity, Should such an opportunity ever arise, of meeting my London friends ; but, though far away, memory will constantly revert to the ; brilliant scenes I have witnessed here, and conjure up visions of the bright eyes, encouraging smiles, and gratulating voices which have so often cheered me on my course. I can never forget that what ever triumphs I may have achieved, whatever re putation I may have won, whatever I may have been enabled to accomplish towards the advance-, ment of dramatic art, I owe to you, my best friends, —to you, the public. Let me fondly cherish the, hope that you will sometimes bestow a thought on the absent wanderer, and, confiding in your sym pathy and regard, I now respectfully and grate fully take my leave, bidding you—" farewell, a, long farewell." At the conclusion of the address Mr. and Mrs., Kean came forward, and were received by the audience, who rose en masse, with most enthusiastic applause, which was continued till they left the . stage. LIVERPOOL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.: The half-yearly meeting of this body was held f NA report, observed, v e d yesterday, Mr. Robertson presiding. The Secretary' having c gr n ea th e A R it would have afforded the council much pleasure if they had been able to report that many of those measures which they had, sought to promote before the Legislature had re ceived the assent of the body and become law, but, in consequence of political changes and other rea sons, they had not been able to bring any of them before the house. The most important of these was the bill relating to the amendment and consolida tion of the bankruptcy laws. These had had a most thorough investigation by Chambers of Commerce throughout the country, and the bill which Lord John Russell had undertaken to bring before Par liament had received their sanction, as effecting very valuable improvements in the law of bank ruptcy. He hoped, in the coming session, it would receive all the weight of a Government measure, and that ere long they would see it carried into effect. The other matters which had been suspended on account of the pressure on Parliament, were the United Kingdom Writs Bill, and the law relating to foreign debtors. The council considered all these to be of importance, and would be prepare& when they were brought before the house, to give them the most hearty support. In bringing these subjects before the house they felt great difficulty in obtaining the assistance of legal men, which was very desirable. Another measure which had also been in suspense was the sale of agricultural produce by weight. The bill introduced by Mr. M'Cann to this effect had been generally approved by all parties, its object being of acknowledged utility. The Council had proposed a clause providing that the weights to be used in the sale of grain and other produce should be the mul tiples and divisions of 1001bs. Such a clause would facilitate the use of the cental now in use in the corn trade, and eventually lead to the use of decimal weights altogether. They had had applications from other chambers of commerce for co-operation in refe rence to matters relating to the interests of trade. The Bombay Chamber of Commerce had applied to them to support their memorial on the impolicy of the Indian Government increasing the import duties without previous notice to the merchants. This was a great hardship, but unless the Bombay Chamber could point out a less objectionable mode of raising the revenue he did not think there was much chance of the grievance being removed. An application had also been received from Mexican merchants, and other persons on the River Plate, in reference to the threatened rupture between the Government of Buenos Ayres and the Argentine Confederation. They sent a deputation to the Government, who promised to make an effort to bring about an ami cable state of things between those countries. Th e trade in that part of the world was an increasing trade, one in which British capital was largely em ployed, and w rich entirely depended upon the exist ence of peace among the different States in that quarter. The Chamber had under their considera tion the law relating to collisions at sea, in conse quence of the case which had arisen upon the colli sion of the Tuscarora with the Andrew Foster, in which one American vessel ran over another. The matter came before the law courts, and it was de cided that the provisions of the Merchant Shipping Act restricting the liability of shipowners to the wreck and accruing freight did not apply to foreigners, so that the owners of the American vessels were liable not only for the wreck and freight, but for the whole amount of damage. This was an injustice and an anomaly, and they recom mended that the restriction which now applied to British shipping should be extended to foreign shipping, which would probably insure a similar return from foreign Powers, particularly France and America, whic had similar laws. In reft r ence to local topics the sight of the'new Post - o ffi ce was still an undecided question, though he believed it was in a fair way of settlement. The Chancehor of the Exchequer had promised the Town Clerk to give an answer to the question as soon as possible. He wished all the other public bodies, such as the Excise and other branches of the revenue, to have their offices and establishments in the same build ing. The site would be a most desirable one , and the including of all those establishments under one roof would give great facilities to the trade of the town. A committee had been appointed to report upon the usages and customs of the various trades in the town, ignorance of which led to a great deal of litigation. The committee had not concluded its labours, but when those usages were made gene rally known it would be of great advantage to fo reigners and others trading with the town. An other question which had occupied the attention of the council was the repeal of a great number of import duties which now burdened the tariff, con tributed very little to the revenue, but did a great deal in restricting the trade of the country. Seeing that there was no possibility of getting a hearing for any motion of this kind, he had not brought it before the notice of the chamber ; but, as the Chan cellor of the Excheluer had expressed his inten tion of bringin6 before the house in the next session the revision of our taxation and expen diture, he hoped this chamber would stir itself to ask for the repeal of the duties levied upon 430 articles, which produced in the aggregate only £750,000 per annum, leaving the remaining 21 articles to contribute upwards of £23,000,000. The whole of these 439 articles might be ssvept away from the tariff, and a great advantage would result to the trade of the country which would be benefltted to a far greater extent than the revenue could suffer. He had observed from a return recently obtained that the exports from Liverpool were fully one half of the whole exports from the United Kingdom. The tonnage also, was only second in amount to that of London, being 31 per cent. of the whole tonnage of th iee United Kingdom. This port , therefore, occupd the first rank both in exports and tonnage. Mr. J. C. EWART, M.P., moved the adoption of the report, regretting that more pra ctical measures had not been carried through the late session.' So far as the late House of Commons was concerned he could not quite agree with the remark made by Sir Francis Baring, that it was a bad Rouge of Commons. From his own experience, he had no hesitation in saying that, it was one of the best RAILWAYS AND PUBLIC COMPANIES. ISLE OF WIGHT FERRY. The works of this company are now progressing towards completion, and when they and those of the railway and pier at Stokes Bay, on the opposite side of the Solent, are finished the journey between London and Rhyde will, it is expected, be accele rated by more than one hour and a quarter, so that the route by the Direct Portsmouth Railway be tween Waterloo and Ryde can then be effected in about two hours and a half instead of three hours and three-quarters. The works consist of a pier at Stokes Bay, and one also at Ryde, with a short sea passage between of only two miles and a-half. At these piers the steamers will be able to come along side at all times of tide, andsthe railway will be ex tended down to the head of the pier. There will be no change of conveyance except from the steamers to the railway. These works are now being carried out with vigour, under the active superintendence of Mr. T. Webster, the chairman of the company, and of Mr. H. Fulton, the company's engineer. From the Head and along the Ryde new pier, which is built of iron, a railway promoted by interests identical 'with the Ferry Company will be carried to Brading, Sandown, Shanklin, Ventnor, and the Undercliff. When this railway is completed the pnblic will be able to reach Ventnor from London in two hours and three-quarters instead of five hours and three-quarters as at present, being a saving in the journey of about three hours. CRYSTAL PALACE COMPANY. It appears that the sum of £87,570 of the Six per cent. Perpetual Preference Stock now remains to be subscribed to complete the authorised amount of £250,000. It has been determined to make up this amount at once, and close the subscription. By clause 7 of the Crystal Palace Act, 1856, this stock has absolute priority of claim over every other de scription of stock or shares in the company. As this stock is created for the purpose of paying off debentures and other existing obligations, some of which have not yet matured, the directors are enabled to offer subscribers the facility of payin; their subscriprions by instalments, where thit may be preferred. BORDER UNION. The cutting of the firF,l, sod of this line, which is to connect Hawick with Carlisle, in continuation of the North British, with branch to Langholm, and in connexion with the extended branch of the Bor• der Counties, is fixed to take place at Havviek on the 7th September. The contracts, it appears, have been let below the Parliamentary estimates. SUFFOCATION OF A BOY AT YORK.--On Fri day, a boy, 10 years old, named Thomas Anslow, was found dead in the timber yard of Mr. Bellerby, George street York. He was covered with a number of battens which had fallen upon him. He was upon his feet, but his body was doubled, and in that position he had been suffo cated. On examination being made, his body was found to be very much bruised. He had been missing fromthe previous evening, and the belief is that he was playing among the wood when it fell upon him. • - , - 7 - viy-A f - -• r '7) wlc passage, wjiich has been m ' 4 , /44 vas, with the exception of the la t r pf,, when steam was got up to bring the 4ii r ikii.ZAo , 4 nel.

Sir Stephen Lushington, K.C.8., was at Rio when the Harrier left, and was ex pected to leave shortly for the northward. TI e Siren was cruising to the northward. The Buz zard and the Oberon were in the Rio de la Plata. The Harrier brings home Dr. Godfrey, late of her Majesty's ship Spy, two naval invalids, and 25 marines, under Lientenant V. W. Sims, who were left at Buenos Ayres by her Majesty's ship Cumberland to protect British interests during the progrrs of the Presidential election. The Har rier has been five years in commission the 17th of the present month, during which time there has been only one death on board from sickness, al though there has been considerable fever prevalent at times among the crews of the different ships on her last station, where she has been upwards o three years at different parts, from Pernambuco to the Falkland Islands ; the latter part of her corn missiot she has been stationed in the Paraguay. The following vessels were spoken on the passage home :—On Aug. 10, in lat. 33 3 N, long. 39 19W, the Jane. of Jersey, 23 days from Pernambuco ; Aug. 16, in lat. 38 34N, long. 35 47 W, the Koran of New York, and an American barque showing no number ; Aug. 17, in lat. 39 34 N, long. 32 8 W, the Coronelln, of Workington ; Aug. 26, in lat. 46 58 N, long. 10 52 W, the Rankin, of Glasgow, standing west ; Aug. 27, in lat. 48 26 N, long.

The Mohawk, 4, screw despatch vessel, has steamed into Portsmouth harbour from Spithead, for the purpose of being docked and examining de fects, &c. /~ f ~~i ~_ A court martial was held onboard her Majesty's ship Victory, in Portsmouth harbour on Saturday, for the trial of Mr. Stephens, the chief engineer of the Mersey, on a charge of drunkenness. The court found the prisoner guilty, and sentenced him to be dismissed the ship. The Mersey, 40, screw, Capt. H. Caldwell, C. 8., at Spithead, is under orders to proceed to sea. Mr. Dwyer has joined her as chief engineer, vice Stephens. The Black . Eagle, Admiralty paddle yacht, Master-Commander Petley, at Portsmouth, is coal ing alongside the Malabar coal depot, in readiness to attend on the Lords of the Admiralty during their official visit to that port. Lieut. A. W. Inglis was yesterday appointed to her Majesty's screw steam frigate Mersey. THE ARMY. The authorities at the Horse Guards have di rected a• number of the young officers who have been recently appointed to the several West India Regiments to be attached to the East India depots at Chatham, for the purpose of acquiring a know ledge of garrison duties, and taking part in the brigade field movements with the troops previously to joining the head-quarters of their respective re giments in the West Indies. During their stay at Chatham the officers will acquire a knowledge of field-works and pontooning with the Royal Engi neers ; pitching and striking tents, rifle drill with the Enfield musket, and also be exercised in the great gun drill, in accordance with the orders re cently promulgated. The officers in Colchester Camp under orders to accompany the draught to India are—Colonel M. N. Gray, Lieut. Edward M. Mason, and Lieut. Charles J. Miles, of the sth Fusileers ; Capt. Henry Parkinson, Lieut. Charles Whyte, and Lieut. Patrick B: Simpson, of the Ist battalion of the 6th Foot ; Capt. Barnes, Ensign Henry Bullen, and Ensign Sargeant, of the 37th Regiment; Ensign 'l'. D. Sullivan, Ensign Arthur Rowley Heyland, and Ensign James L. Watt., of the 56th Foot. A number of men belonging to Capt.. Mil ward's battery of Royal Artillery stationed at the encamp ment on Woolwich-common referred to in The Sun of Friday as having intimated their intention of retiring from the army at the expiration of their first term of service, about to close, have on more mature deliberation expressed their desire of accepting the Royal bounty and of re-enlisting for the second term, or 21 years' total service. It appears that the men had formed a misconception cf the terms of their retirement, after the period of 21 years' service, and had hastened to the conclu sion that their chances of success in civil life were preferable to those of the army. Only two of Capt. Milwatd's men have finally adhered to the resolu tion of resigning the service. The remainder were yesterday enrolled for the additional term, and bare been granted absence on furlough. On re-enlisting each man received a bonus of £6 18s. 4d.—namely, the Queen's bounty £3 and £3 18s. 4d. equivalent, to a new kit. Being provided with their former equipment, which by the service regulations they are allowed to retain, they were fully accoutred without further expense, and many of the men, with a provident desire of adding a small sum to their retiring pension, immediately handed over £6 to Captain Milward, to be de posited in the savings•bank for their benefit. Captain Milward has taken extraordinary pains to advance the moral condition of his men by en couraging and promoting various kinds of rational amusements, with a view of diverting them from the habit of resorting to the public-house, and has happily succeeded beyond his anticipations. Being isolated at some distance from the town, the men's evenings are generally occupied in rehearsals for a weekly representation, which takes place in one of the hut stables which Capt. Millward has fitted up in a theatrical style, and which provides a source of considerable relaxation and improvement, and affords attraction to large numbers of men from the barracks. GARIBALDI' S WIFE. " I one day cast a casual glance at a house in the Burra (the eastern part of the entrance of the Jayuna, South America), and there observed a young female whose appearance struck me as having something very extraordinary. So power ful was the impression made upon me at the moment, though from some cause which I was not able fully to ascertain, that I gave orders and was transported towards the house. But, then, I knew of no one to whom I could apply for an introduc tion. I soon, however, met with a person, an inha bitant of the town, who had been acquainted with me from the time of m y arrival. I soon received an invitation to tak e coffee with his family, and the first person who entered was the lady whose ap pearance had so mysteriously but irresistibly drawn me to the place. I sued hr ; e were soon ac quainted ; and I found hat e the ` hidden treasure which I had discovered was of rare and inestimable worth. But I have since reproached myself for re moving her from her peaceful native retirement to sce nes of danger, toil, and suffering. I felt most deeply self-reproach, on that day when, at the mouth of the Po, having landed, in our retreat from an Austrian squadron, while still hoping to restore her to life, on taking her pulse I found her a corpse, and sang the hymn of despair. I prayed for for giveness, for I thought of the sin of taking her from her home." The rest of the lady's story is soon told. She accompanied her husband in his dangerous adventures, fought by his side on sea and land, received a ball through her hat, which cut off a tress of her L a hair, and . tra . velled . alone • a r s i s t e a d b ani that Anna f " rom C aplwbyildnimghilte,sa:n—d to dang g er e o s' us si w x ' t a y y such was her boldness, that the assassins fled at the sight of her, declaring that they had been pursued by an extraordinary being. And , in deed, they spoke the truth, for that courageous woman, mounted on a fiery horse, which she had asked for and obtained at a house on her way where it would have been difficult for a traveller to hire one, she galloped, in a tempestuous night, among broken rocky ground, by the flashes of lightning. Four of the enemy's cavalry, who were posted on guard at the river Canvas, when . they saw her .ap proaching, were overwhelmed, with fear, supposing it to be a vision, and lied.. 11 hen she reached the bank of that stream, which was swollen by the rains to a dangerous mountain torrent, she did not stop or attempt to cro s in a canoe, as she had done w h e n passing it a fe w days before in my company ; but, dismounti n g , she seiz• ed fast hold of the tail of h er horse, and encouragi▪ ng him with her voice, he dashed into the water and swam, struggling waves, dragging her with him ch she had thus to Thethr through distance t foaming whi pass was not less than 500 paces, but they reached the opposite shore in safety." Four days' hard riding, and only a cup . of coffee ! Flying with her husband from the Austrian army, after the great French treaso n of 1849, she landed with him at Aleoda, and died ex hausted on the beach.—Life of General Garibaldi. 1 I
