By Dr. LA'lkimiT, 37, Bedford-square, London. Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh ; Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, &c. The above work contains most useful and interesting information on the physiological changes which occur M the Reproductive System during the periods of youth, puberty, and manhood ; and on the due attainment of that ch?9,ree of functional vigour upon which the hopes of posterity depend. It also points out how all the attributes of ➢lan hood can be preserved to an advanced period of life, how they ara lest, and how they can be recovered.

The Author is the only legally qualified practitioner whose name stands on the Medical Register (the only true test of medical qualification), who has been exclu sively engaged for a series of years in the treatment of the various functional disorders of the nervous and reproductive system, which, owing to the great discoveries of modern science, are rendered subservient to a rational, simple, and easy mode of treatment.

" This 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.

Edward Everett de livered a lecture in the Hall of the Academy of Music, New York, under the auspices of the Mer cantile Library Association, on the origin and cha racter of the war. The ball was crowded to excess, and the Mayor of the city, the Hon. a Opdyke, was in the chair. The report of the address occu pies four columns of the New York papers. The following is the concluding portion :- 1 sczuple not to say that all the Powers of Europe united could not in seven years have brought the scourges or evils of war so near to the vitals of the people as this execrable secession has done in seven or eight months. Then for a moment let us try to look into the future. If the South has not been wil ing to live in - peace under a Government which Mr. Stephens (the Vice-President of the Confederation) has declared to be the most beneficent of which history gives any account, but for the frivolous pre text which we have been considering chosen to plunge into the gulf of war, how, when, and on what terms can we ever expect to live in peace hereafter any longer than may be necessary to accumulate the means of a new war, and to find a pretext for plunging into it ? Do you say the dif ferent sections of the country can make treaties ? Treaties! I should like to know whether treaties are more binding than constitutions—whether acts of ratification are more sacred than oaths of alle giance, which every one of these leaders now has upon his soul. Why, the great practical grievance of which the South is complaining is that the North claims, in virtu e o f a ll the traditions of the Govern ment, running ba c k t o i ts very foundation, embodied by Jefferson in pr o j ec ti ng an ordinance for the North-western territory, as long ago as 1784—the North plead for the general Government the right to prohibit the extension of slavery into the five territories of the United States north of.‘the—Missouri - 01ine.' Deets anylittfiadi b e i ng suppose that if secession prospers and the confederacy. should be established and acknow ledged, these free millions of the North will allow slavery to extend itself beyond the Missouri line ? No, no; not if Chief Justice Taney should live to the age of Methuselah, and should issue a Dred Scott decision every year of his life. (Laughter and cheers.) Mr. Everett then spoke of the complaints which the South made about Northern pulpits and the Northern press, and said if the rebellion were successful every cause of irritation would be in creased a hundredfold. He then spoke of the advice which English statesmen gave to our government in persisting to resist secession, that we were very unwise to encounter the evils of civil war, instead of letting the country quietly go to pieces. I won der, said he, if these political doctors would like the taste of their own medicine? If this breaking up of powerful governments is such an excellent thing, why were such spasmodic efforts made six or seven years ago to put down the Sepoy rebellion at the antipodes ? Why was the Irish rebellion of '9B re sisted ?—the Scottish rebellion of '45, and the older one of 1715 ? Why do they not avail themselves of their great historical precedent P These political doctors think it would be a good thing if Spain should become as it was—independent kingdoms. The whole civilised world, within two or three years, has clapped its hands in joy, as it has seen the various states of Italy abdicating their separate in dependent governments, and, what is harder to do, forget the feuds and differences of ages, and come together in one beautifal Italian nationality. (Ap plause.) Germany, in the middle ages, was broken up into more than three hundred and forty indepen dent Powers; and would those who sympathised with the leaders of Southern rebellion, and saying that secession and disintegration are so desirable for America, say to the Prince of Germany, " Plant yourself on your reserved rights, and recover your medimval independence ?" Is it not enough, my friends, to make an angel weep, I had almost said tears of blood ? Here are men of common sense, you must admit—of education and experience in affairs—men who aspire to what ought to be the honoured name of statesmen---to see them not only so recreant to the memory of their fathers and the hereos of the revolutionary age, but so dead to the voice of history, so blind to the experience of all other nations, so reckless of the great lessons of history, as to think that in a country like this the path to prosperity can lie through the bloody gate of treason and rebellion, and that the permanent welfare of a great confederate republic can be pro moted by its being broken up into 30, 40, or 50 independent jealous principalities. But it cannot, it shall not be. (Loud cries of " No," and cheers.) This glorious framework of national government shall not be allowed to erumble into dishonourable fragments. (Renewed applause.) This seamless garment of union that folds the country like a Holy Providence shall not be allowed to be torn into tatters by traitorous hands. (Cheers.) No, no, no —a thousand times no. Rise, loyal millions of the country, hasten to the rescue of the Union. Come, old men and children, young men and maidens; come as the winds come when forests are rended ; come as the waves come when navies are stranded; come with your strong hands; come with your cun ning hands ; come with your swords ; come with your knitting needles; come with your purses, your voices, your pens, your types, your prayers—come one, come all to the rescue of the Union.

MR. DAVID URQUHART ON INTERNA ANYAL LAW AND RIGHT OF SEARCH. Lad night Mr. David Urquhart delivered an address in the lower room, Whittington Club, on " International Law" as bearing on the contest in the United States and the De claration of Paris, the object being to show that " the effect cf that declaration will be to deprive England of the means of defending. her own shores, to render her inoperative for the purposes of war, and be the accomplishment of the aim of the ' Armed Neutrality' of 1780, brokenthen by England through the exercise of the right of search." " The recruiting regulations and bounty for the West, India Regiments, Gold Coast Artillery Corps, Royal Malta Fencible Artillery, St. Helena Regi ment, Cape Mounted Riflemen, and Ceylon Rifle Regiment, to continue tho same as at present." Mr. BEALES (barrister) was called to the chair, and briefly opened the business. LECTURE ON GARIBALDI AND ITALY BY SIGNORA MARIO. Major STEWART ROLLAND explained that he took upon himself the responsibility of having induced Mr. Urquhart to address a public meeting on this important subject at the present momentous crisis of national affairs, from a pro found conviction that he was, above all men, the best qua lified to lay before the country the true bearings of ques tions in which we were so deeply intetested. Mr. URQUHART'S address lasted for nearly three hours, the earlier portion being devoted to an antiquarian and that ea time i m of e Viennaa dsubsequently all former critical examination of the origin of all law. Thence he proceeded to show that in 1780 a Confederacy of Maritime Nations was entered into, with the object of coercing Eng land into the abandonment of the right of search. That thi s country she had the world against her, and a d lone and single-ha n d e d resistedth that r ight. i t ght. eve n when e the Peace m p treaties were annulled, and a f res h f oundation for interna tional relations was established in the treaty then concluded, and that right was fully recognised. At the breaking out of the Russian war in 1854, however, Sweden and Denmark again announced an armed neutrality, and tbeEnglish and French Governments consented to it under certain restric tions. When the war was concluded, the Treaty of Paris practically surrended tho very object for which Russia had been contending ever since 1780. The " declaration" ap pended to tha treaty abolished privateering, and stated that the neutral flag covers enemies' goods with the excep tion of contraband of war. That " declaration," however, had not the force of law, and it had never received the for mal sanction of Parliament. In order to force from the people and Parliament of this country such a sanction, Mr. Urquhart contended that the affair of the Trent had been preconcerted—that those who had designs against the in tegrity and greatness of this country had entered into a conspiracy, in the hope that amidst the excitement and passion of the moment the long -coveted object might be attained. Russia had her diplomatists and agents in the Court of Washington as well as at Vienna, Berlin, Paris, and London, and unless England was on its guard the one great safeguard of its independence and greatness would be swept away. Th e hon. gentleman was applauded at the close of his address. Mr. DEAN moved that the Minister who would surrender the right of search was a traitor. Major ROLLAND said he would willingly second such a motion, but at this late hour such an important question could not be fully and properly discussed, and he would suggest an adjournment. Last evening Signora Mario delivered her first lecture before a London audience in South-place Chapel, Finsbury. The chair was taken by Mr. Mark Marsden. The lecturer commenced by expressing an opinion that Englishmen of the present day care for free ' dom no longer as a useful thing, manufactured and I patented for their own use, but as a thing good for all mankind. The year had begun well, with the news of peace with America, and that news would carry more joy to every true English heart than the news of a victory, for though it was uncertain which side might do the other most harm, it was certain that that war would be the deathblow to freedom on both sides of the Atlantic. In looking at the present state of Italy it would be well to consider the steps by which the presentposit i o n was reached. Some said Louis Napoleon and Cavour had done it all, and only left for Garibaldi to annex Sicily and N a ples. But there were men who went before, be ginning with Dante, who nourished the ideas which had to be forced down unwilling throats at the point of the bayonet. From the time of Dante the nation slumbered for 300 years, until one arose whom our own Carlyle h a d ranked among the few martyr souls—Joseph Mazzini—(cheers)—he who first taught the Italian youth, and among them Garibaldi himself, to place the unity of Italy above any form of Government. (Loud cheers.) The lecturer then gave a vivid description of the campaign, initiated in Sicily by Mazzini, and seconded a month afterwards by Garibaldi and his thousand. There was never any ground for the fear that Garibaldi meant to do anything with Sicily but annex it to Piedmont. But his plan was to hold Sicily till he could seize Naples, and Naples till he could conquer Rome, and from Rome he could con quer Venice. There was a popular notion that the secret object of Mazzini and Garibaldi was to esttah blish, sooner or later, a republic. But "Italy Italy— was, they had most loyally adopted the cryth,e,tl and Victor Emmanuel," preferring Italian unity t went on a to ny sh f o o w rm th of at go t v h e e r r n e m o e o n u t id Th h e e l n ec o tu p r e e a r o t e h in n Venice were free. Kossuth lately wrote, that the upon Venice. No Hungarian question depended_ be foll owed doubt a rising in Venice would aid,by one which meant peace in Europe—until Rome and no need of a foreign usurper to drive out the Aus trians. In conclusion, the lecturer appealed to the in Hungary, and with Piedmont _ to . there was British public to aid the Italian cause, not only by moral sympathy but by material aid in the shape of red shirts and muskets, as Englishmen had done before. She asked the rich to give their pounds, the poor their pence, so that Britons might offer up the prayer, God deal so with Britain as Britain has dealt with Italy. (The lecturer resumed her seat amidst a burst of applause.) The thank; of the meeting were given to Mr. Urquhart, and the meeting then adjourned till Monday next. FOREIGN MAIL PACKET LIST. et BRITANNIA ON THE RAMPAGE.”--Our Ameri can cousin's publication, the Budget of Fun, has a carica ture bearing this title. It shows an old lady whose bonnet m ysteriously runs into a helmet, whose shawl bears the cross of St. George upon it, and who carries under one arm an umbrella, and under the other a trident. She is stand ing before the counter of a "nation's" store, saying to a long lank Yankee who writes at a desk near by, " I want them two men now you took out of my boat," to which the Yankee storekeeper replies, by calling to Seward, the shop boy, in another part of the shop, " Here, Bill, you attend to this. Do what's right by this old gal. I can't be bothered with her just now." THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 24, 1862. TALE NAVY. The Warrior, 40, left Plymouth, under steam, for Lisbon on Tuesday evening. The steam yacht Osborne, from Portsmouth, ar rived at Plymouth on Tuesday, en route for the Me diterranean, where she will attend on ILR,IL the Prince of Wales. lier Majesty's ship Arethusa, 51, screw frigate, 500 horse power, underwent yesterday a trial in the basin at Sheerness dockyard of the new super heated and surface condensing trunk engines, with which this fine frigate has just been fitted by Messrs. Penn and Sons. The trial was on the part of the proprietors, the firm being represented by Mr. J. Penn, Mr. Matthews, Mr. Wigzell, and Mr. Holliday. Mr. Spencer (the patentee for serving tubes and condensers), and Mr. Appold (the paten tee of the centrifugal pump), were likewise present to watch the results. Tiae trial was with four boilers and super-heated steam, when the pressure of steam was 201 b., revolutions 60, the temperature of steam being 300, and the vacuum 261. With half-boiler power and two boilers, the pressure of steam was 191 b., the revolutions 42, and the vacuum 25. Alto gether the engines worked in a very satisfactory manner, and the vessel, which is in a forward state, is expected to be ready for her official trial at the measured mile in the course of February. The Shannon, 51, screw, Capt. James F. B. Wain wright, was swung in moorings in Portsmouth har bour yesterday for the adjustment of her compasses, and will go out of harbour to Spithead this morn ing should the weather prove favourable. It was stated yesterday at Portsmouth that the Euryalus, 51, screw, would probably be commis sioned at that port to-day as the flag ship of Rear- Admiral Stopford, for service in the East Indies and China. It was also rumoured that Capt. Gordon would be the flag captain. The Tribune, 31, screw frigate, fitting for the Ist clsss reserve at Portsmouth, got up steam yester day to test her machinery. The Magicienne, 16, at Devonport, is to be armed on the main deck with 10 52-pounders, and on the upper deck with two Armstrong 100-pounders and four 32-pounders. The Perseus, 17, will have 14 32-pounders, one pivot Armstrong, 701 b.; and two Armstrongs of 401 b. The Sparrow is to have two Armstrongs, 20-pounders, in place of two howitzers, 24-pounders. These ships aro completing with all despatch. The swallow, 9, screw sloop, 60 horse power, Master Commander E. Wilds, has been taken into the fitting basin at Sheerness to have a new poop erected, previous to her departure for Japan on surveying duty. Orders have been given for the removal of the engineer officers' berth in the Black Prince, 40, iron frigate, i 3 dock at Portsmouth, from the compart ment in which it was originally fitted by Messrs. Napier to another compartment further forward. This measure has been under the consideration of the authorities for some time, and the order now given for its execution has created the greatest dis satisfaction among the engineer officers generally in the port, who complain of what they term preme ditated and degrading treatment. The bare facts of the case are these :—The present position of the engineers' mess is in the compartment adjoining and abaft the engine compartment, the midship men's mess occupying the opposite side of the com partment, and the clerks' office being in the cent re. From this compartment it is now proposed to re move the mess for the engineers to a position in the fore part of the ship, where they will be 260 feet from the engine compartment, and to gain which the greater part of the ship's main deck will have to be traversed. The Geyser, 6, paddle, Commander G. M. Jack son, with the Highlander gunboat in company, sailed from Spithead, at 7 40 a.m. yesterday, for Queenstown. After convoying the Highlander to Queenstown, the Geyser will fill up coal and start thence for the Pacific and Vancouver's Island. Her Majesty's paddlewheel steamer Investigator, Lieut.-Commander Lefroy (stated in error to have been built for the servic3 of Dr. Livingstone), yes terday sailed from Woolwich for Greenhithe, to adjust compasses. Her draught of water is 4 feet 6 inches aft, and her nominal horse-power is 40. Her crew consists of a Lieutenant-Commander, second master, assistant surgeon, master's assistant, two engineers, and 30 seamen and lads ; one corpo ral and two privates of the Royal Marine Light Infantry. Her armanent is composed of one 40- pounder Armstrong gun and two brass 24-pounder howitzers. Her destination, as announced yester day, on her departure from Woolwich, is the new settlement of Lagos, in the Gulf of Guinea and the Lagunes, in the vicinity, at the back of the Gulf, her light draught of water rendering her capable of the otherwise dangerous passage in and over the bar and the Lagunes. After swinging at Green hithe, she will proceed on her voyage under escort. The chartered transport Caroline, in the service of the War Department, yesterday sailed from Woolwich for Corfu, laden with powder and heavy war stores. The Terrible, 21, paddlewheel steamer, Capt. Glasse, C. 8., having completed discharging hEr coals at the depot, Stangate•creek, has been re moved down to Sheerness dockyard, where she yesterday commenced stripping, preparatory to being paid off and put out of commission. Yesterday another complete battery of 11 of the large 100-pounder Armstrong guns, each of 84 cwt., arrived at the Ordnance-wharf, Chatham, from Woolwich, in the War Department transport;Baltic, and during the day were safely landed by a party of convicts employed for that purpose. Notwith standing the more favourable character of the news received from America, little or no relaxation has taken place in the several departments connected with the Ordnance establishment at Chatham, large quantities of the Armstrong shot and shell, as well as the Armstrong and ordinary cannon, arriving from the factories almost daily and being deposited in store in readiness for distribution to the vessels and batteries requiring them. The following appointments were made at the Admiralty last evening : Captains—G. H. Seymour, C.D., to the Victoria and Albeit, vice Denman, promoted; A. C. Gordon, to the Euryalus, commissioned. Commander George H. Parkin, to the Euryalus. Lieutenant Henry Hawkes, to the Colossus. Sub-Lieutenant Compton E. Domville, to the Shannon. Surgeon David L. Morgan, to the Euryalus. Assistant-Surgeons—Jeremiah A. Hatch (acting), to the Investigator; Charles H. Godfrey, to the Euryalus; Ed ward E. Birch (acting), to ditto. Paymaster Charles G. Burney, to the Euryalus. Assistant-Paymaster George IV. Jones, to the Euryalus. Clerk Alfred Do Denne, to the Euryalus the character of each of the recipients. Sergeant Bowers has been 30 years in the corps of Royal Marines, 24 of which he has been a non-commis sioned officer, and Drum-Major Lewis 28 years in the corps, and 12 years a non-commivsioned officer. In addition to their medal they each receive a gra tuity of £l5. Sergeant Leith ham served 21 years in the Royal Marines, of which period he hes been 15 years a non-commissioned officer ; he is also awarded a gratuity of £lO. The 26th Company of Royal Engineers, which arrived at Chatham Garrison, from Bermuda, on Tuesday evening, was inspected at headquarters, Brompton Barracks, yesterday afternoon, by Lieut.- Col, J. F. M. Browne, C.B. The cowpony, which has been reduced during its absence from England to less than 80 men, will be augmented to its full complement, after whi c h it w ill b o remove d f rom headquarters to one of the home stations, to fill up the vacancy caused by the despatch of so many companies of Royal Engineers to Canada. A detachment of the Army Hospital Corps will proceed from headquarters, Chatham, this morning, to New Brunswick, to join the other detachments now serving in British North America. The Ist division of the 41st Regiment arrived at Portsmouth yesterday afternoon from the Isle of Wright, and was sent by special train to Newcastle, Tynemouth, and Sunderland. The weather was most unfavourable to the men's comfort, the jour ney being made through the night to enable them to reaeh their destination to-day. In consequence of the important change about to take place in the regulations of the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich, resumption of the classes place on the Ist of Feb. nno has been postponed for a fortnight b e y on d th a t n eed to take the announced period. The newly-appointed Governor, Major- Gen. Sandham (late commanding the Royal Engi neer Corps at Chatham), 'will take up his appoint ment, after the prolonged vacation, in succession to Col. Wilford, appointed to the retired list of the Royal Artillery, as previously stated in the Sun. Major Williams, commanding the Cadet Company, has been also superseded. The antecedents of Gen. Sandham, whose reputation has preceded him, bespeak a most favourable result for the business of the Woolwich Academy and the country at large, and his appointment has been hailed by every one connected with the establishment with great satis faction. coat collars and comforters, rendering every jolt of the sleigh intolerable, and every turn of the head ' nearly pulling their faces off.' But all such minor disagreeables were soon forgotten in a more serious one. The horses suddenly plunged 'up to their ears' into a snowdrift, and the inmates of the sleigh here became aware of the folly of having separated them selves from the rest of the party. It was very dark, and the question arose how was the sleigh, packed with luggage, to be lifted on to the road. Fortu nately, the horses were very quiet. The risk of losing the luggage, or leaving some of it behind, in the darkness, and the impossibility of packing it securely, if untied, added considerably to their diffi culties. After three quarters of an hour's hard work they set matters to right again, and, having yoked the horses commenced a retrograde movement, taking it in turns to walk in front until by the con sistency of the snow they found themselves again on the road. After sundry minor mishaps they reached Fredericton, having been 15 hours in travelling the GO miles. The second sleigh fell into the same drift, broke its pole, and had to be dragged a considerable distance without any, the travellers taking refuge in a shanty till daylight." Here the journal ends; but the party intended the next day to start for Woodstock and the Grand Falls. The writer of it adds :—" Experience proves that sleigh parties should have an axe- and a shovel, with a piece of rope to supplement the light iron work of the sleigh, and, to provide for delays and acci dents, all troops should take two days' uncooked provisions, as food gets so soon frozen." From this narrative it will be seen that the diffi culties of transporting troops to Canada overland in winter are neither light nor few. The first de tachment of 104 men was to leave St. John's for Fredericton on the 6th January. They were to drive the whole distance through in one day, hot coffee and an extra ration being provided for each man halfway on the road. This number was to be increased as new facilities were afforded along the route, and log huts were to be erected on the various stations between Fredericton and the St. Lawrence. The whole journey was calculated to occupy 11 days, and the following stages have been laid down : Miles. Miles. 1. St. John's to Hovels.. 20 7. Grand Falls 24 2. To Fredericton. 3O 8. Little Falls 3. Halfway to Woodstock 29 9. Tour du Lac .. 33 4. Woodstock 32 10. St. Francois 5. Florenceville ... 23 11. Riviere du Loup .... 16 6. Tobique 23 The sleighs, which have been built especially for the service, will each carry eight men, besides the driver. It will be, perhaps, in the recollection of our readers that in our impression of Dec. 13 last we detailed the various routes through Nova Scotia and New Brunswick by which troops could hope to reach Riviere du Loup, and pointed out that, in case the ice prevented the disembarkation of troops at Riviere du Loup or Bic, the transports would land the men either at Halifax or St. John's, N. 8., whence by means of sleighs they could make their way to Riviere du Loup ; or, if the severity of the winter prevented that course, there would be ample accommodation for the troops, both at St. John's and Halifax, until spring. These opinions have been verified by the event, and the route which we then indicated as the most practicable, via Fredericton and Madawaska to Reviere du Loup, has been the one adopted. In the article referred to it was said that if only the wea ther were favourable, and log•huts were provided at the different stations along the road, the troops might march the whole distance. We are glad to hear that this necessity has been obviated, and to find that the authorities have decided that the troops shall be conyeyed in sleighs—a wiser and certainly a more humane plan.. RECRUITING FOR THE ARMY. By a " General Order," promulgated yesterday, the subjoined new regulations for recruiting for'the army are made public : " Horse Guards, S.W., Jan. 14. " The accompanying schedule, showing the age and standard and levy money allowed for the en listment of men, lads, and boys for cavalry, Royal Artillery, Royal Engineers, and infantry of the Line having received the approval of the General Commander-in -Chief, his Royal Highness directs that the regulations herein laid down be strictly adhered to until further orders.

Grooms, farm labourers, and others of the like class, who have been accustomed to the care and management of horses, and who may not quite fulfil all the above conditions, but who, from their appearance are likely to become good drivers, will be enlisted on special application being made to the Adjutant-General, through the inspecting field officers of districts, or, in the case of a head quarter recruit, through the Deputy-Adjutant- General, Royal Artillery. "For artificers, blacksmiths, wheelwrights, and carpenters, collar and harness makers, who are likely to become useful artificers, may be enlisted from sft. bin. and upwards.

Engine-fitters are not to be enlisted as black smiths, Jobbing smiths or farriers only are to be enlisted who can work at the forge. The utmost care is to be exercised in the en listment of tradesmen. None but good artificers must be taken, and their qualifications must be as certained by actual trial in the trades to which they profess to have been brought up; or, if this be im practicable, such testimonials must be obtained from their late employers as will fully satisfy the officer of their skill and acquirements. Men of other trades required only in limited numbers, such as miners, shoemakers, printers, collar and harness makers, clerks, surveyors, draughtsmen, photo graphers, architects, engineers, tailors, will be en- listed on special application being made to the Adjutant-General through the inspecting field officers of districts, or, in the case of head-quarter recruits, through the Assistant-Adjutant-General, Royal Engineers.

Mason and Slidell and the more recently modified and tempe rate tone of Mr. Seward's despatches to this coun try, have removed all present fears of war, the measures for putting the Canadian frontiers and defence by th e s, and arms h ave no t been relaxed, and a description of th e difficulties transmissionprovinces in of a troops, fit statesh ships, of overcome by the earliest parties of troops will not, therefore, be without interest. A pioneer party was in the first instance appointed to travel over the route by which it wasproposed to forward the troops to Riviere du Loup, to judge of its pra c ti ca bility, and to organise means for butting and feeding them on their journey. From the journal of an officer who accompanied this party, and who, ind ee d, seems to havebeen facts tlie a life s an to d soul the difficulty we gathe r severa l important of forwarding troops in large numbers through an almost unset tled country in the depth of winter. The party, which consisted of 17 persons, left Halifax on the 28th Dec., with the intention of proceeding, via St. John's, New Brunswick, up the St. John River by Tour du Lac and St. Francois to Riviere du Loup. Their first stage—from Halifax to Truro by rail road—ran chiefly through a spruce and pine forest, and was performed by the party in a violent snow storm, no incident breaking the monotony of the journey, which was accompli s h e d a t a very s t ea d y paee‘of 13 miles an hour. The violence of the snow storm increasing effectually prevented any further progress for the night ; in fact, by the evening the railway was snowed up and impracticable. At Truro, the principal subject of remark was the faci lity with which good horses for transport could be obtained, 300 or 400 being easily procurable at an average price of £2O each. A peculiar mode of esti mating a horse prevails in this town. A horse at Truro is rated by weight, as a 9cwt. horse, or an newt. horse, as the case may be, on the principle that it requires weight to move weight. Early in the morning the party left Truro in five sleighs. But here their difficulties began. A plunge of the horse into a deep snowdrift broke the pole of the sleigh. When this accident was remedied they found that the gale of the previous day had swept the snow from the roads, piling it into drifts here and there, and leaving so many pitfalls for the sleighs. Over this clean-swept road the sleighs, loaded, could not be drawn, so that the travellers had to walk the chief portion of the road, every now and then quitting it and going across country, ruthlessly pulling down the snake fences, and receiving every assistance whose loy a lty was conspicuous route by the ready serviee they affor from ded. the e inhabitants, wholeT iies These b r a ve-hea r t e d colonists followed with the party for miles, digging through snow drifts, tearing down their own fences, cutting through the brushwood, and doing everything in their power, although working on Sunday, a cir cumstance entirely foreign to their usual habits. Notwithstanding such assistance, the party met with one upset during the day and broke two poles, one of which was replaced by a rail from the next snake fence and the other by a borrowed one, and at dusk they arrived at Folly village, having taken 61 hours to travel 13 miles. Here, worn out with fatigue, and judging it foolish to dare the dangers of the snowdrifts in the dark, they halted for the night. Next morning found them early in the sleighs, as they had to cross the snows of the Cobe quid Mountains. On this day the drifts were deeper than those encountered the day before, and without the same opportunity of avoiding them, the road running through the forest and over the mountain. Just before arriving at Spencer, a tremendous drift for a long time barred further progress. This they had to trample down before the sleighs could be dragged over it, and this labour both to man and horse was such as to necessitate a halt at Spencer. At West Chester the changed their sleighs, and resolved to make a bold push onwards to Amherst, and if possible by travelling all n i g ht to reach Moncton btyhellpaar.mty separated, o n ly seven facing. next day. At West Chester, however, the midnight drive through the snow to Moncton, the rest preferring to remain where they were. Without further incident the seven reachedMoncton in time to catch the only daily train for St. John's, N. 8., and after spending 61 hours in travelling only 92 miles they arrived at their destination. Four days had thus been spent in gretting from Halifax to St. John's, the whole distance being 260 miles, of which 106 miles were performed in sleighs, and the remaining 154 by railway. A t St . J o h n ' s the party found the inhabitants in a state of enthu siastic loyalty. " The people there had turned out, and converted public buildings into accommodation for 3,000 men ; the corporation had fitted up quar ters for 500 men at their own expense, the Volun teers mounted sentry over the buildings, and the citizens offered to take the oineers into their own houses rather than they should soffer any inconve nience in finding lodgings. After a stay of four days at St. John's the party, now reduced to six, started at 11 a.m., with the thermometer marking 10 deg. below zero, for Fredericton. There was a bitter and cutting wind blowing, and the effect of it on the travellers was most painful. For the first part of the road the sleighing was excellent, but at the Hovels, halfway between St. John's and Fredericton, one of the sleigh drivers, having paid too vigorous a devo tion to a bottle of brandy, split the party into two, one half proceeding and the other getting on as they could. About 10 p.m. the cold became so intense as to freete the moustachios of the travellers to their 2~ ~ `~ '-"
