A large number of disposable troops in garrison at Woolwich, numbering about 2,500 men, accom panied by Gen. Sir R. Dacres and Staff, with the regimental bands of music, yesterday assembled on parade at 7.30 a.m., and marched by different routes to Dartford-heath. They encamped there for dinner with a view of testing more effectually the advan tages of the various species of cooking apparatus supplied by Capt. Grant, late of the Royal Artillery. Tents having been pitched, sentries appointed, and .the Ordinaryin - 0 prife - brgin l Bo . 4" rule established on ,the heath, the dinners were served up with the' same comfort and regularity as though they had come from the barrack kitchens. The general and hfs officers were present at the delivery of the ra 'tibns, which they tasted. They passed a very favour able opinion on the cooking apparatus. Everything supplied on the heath bdre the same nutritious qua- ' lity as though cooked at home, and the soup was excellent. ,The beer was supplied in casks from the barrack canteen. After dinner, coffee was roasted and ground in mills affized to the wheels of the gun carriages, and half a pint was served to each man by means of Capt. Grant's inventions. The troops returned to Woolwich at half-past 6. HOTELS, &c. tt. k-CHAPLIN'S HOTEL AND SPREAD EAGLE TAVERN, - 84, dRACECHTJRCH-STREET,....

Weather such as never before faVoured the Vo lunteers, since the first institution of the force, has beamed continually upon the encampment at Ascot. The men who have taken up their quarters under canvass are in raptures with their new mode of existence, and have settled down steadily to their duties. It was ascertained by careful calcu lation that not more than ten men be allotted to any tent, and upon this basis the distribution was ac cordingly carried out, Some rain fell on Tuesday night, but not in sufficient quantity to lead to any disagreeable consequences; the precaution more over, had been taken of surrounding the tents with trenches to carry off any moisture. The only contretemps which has occurred—and this occa sioned but temporary inconvenience—consisted in the unexpected failure of the field-ovens. The de fect lay not in the system, but in the soil, which at the spot in question is of a light sandy character. Ordinary clay would have been baked and har dened by the action of the fire, but the sandy ad mixture in the earth forming the sides of the ovens caused these to fall in, of course entailing a culi nary catastrophe. Fatigue parties went to work at once to make the necessary re-excavations, and as the interior of the ovens will now be faced with brick there need be no apprehension of a recurrence of this dilemma. One great advantage of this method of field-cooking is, that an entire range of ovens can be built or remodelled in the interval between breakfast and dinner. Yesterday morn ing there was an early parade, at which, after all. necessary deductions, there was a muster of 350 men. The Volunteers went very creditably through some battalion movements, and were after wards exercised in skirmishing, blank cartridge being served out for that purpose to the different companies. At the close of the day's shooting there was a further assembly with a kindred object. Regard being had to the fact that Berkshire Volu nteer Battalion numbers little more than 800 men, even on paper, the attendance at Ascot is extremely creditable, and shows not only that the hearts of members of the corps are in their work, but that they have full confidence in their commanding officer, when they respond so readily to his call. In many most efficient Volunteer corps the muster is considered satisfactory if half the nominal members attend upon the occasion of a " march out," to which it is not necessary to devote more than half a day, perhaps only a few hours in the evening. The, Berkshire Volunteers, on the contrary, have sent 350 men into camp, and that not merely for a day or two, but for the best part of a week, as the men marched in on Tuesday afternoon and will remain at Ascot with the regulars till after Sunday, as the military column does not start on its return march to Aldershot till Monday morning. The Berkshire Volunteers will likewise receive large accessions to their numbers on the day of the review. Berk shire, in fact, has the credit of being practically first in the field in this latest development of the Volunteer movement. The military authorities have no great admiration for gatherings purely devoted to prize-shooting. On the other hand, they do cordially approve assemblages, such as the present, into which the military element largely enters ; for the nation is thereby trained to that very system of local organisation and co-operation which would be found most valuable in case of need. When this system has been so far extended that a large proportion of our county rifle corps is fami liarised with camp life, and with the fact before us —a fact, by the way, which one noble lord strangely overlooked in the recent fortification debate—that some 25,000 Volunteer artillerymen have been pronounced by high military authority quite competent to man any of the coast fortresses, the public mind will be easier with regard to the national defences than it has been for many a long year. The spirit with which the Berkshire Volunteers have entered into this gathering may be inferred from the fact that, although they have only to ask and leave the camp, not more than a dozen applica tions for permission to do so, end those few beengrountdt upon pleas of consid erable urgency, have in to head-quarters. The prizes shot for yesterd a y c onsisted of a silver cup , value £lO 10s., g i ven by Mr. Henry Hippesley, with a purse o f £ l5 15 ; . added by the Association, and divided among s econd, third, and fourth best shots. F• the r e l v a e l l rn ow en edp e to company and three per subdivision we compete, firing at two distances—viz., 200 yards and 50 0 yards, each comp e ti tor five shots at both of those ranges. The following were the successful candidates : Mr. HARVEY LEWIS, M.P., said that amongst other measures affecting that district had been the various railway bills, which required watching most narrowly to protect the public interest, which he hoped and believed his noble colleague and himself had accomplished. They had a hard fight at the beginning of the session with the promoters of the St. Giles's burial ground, but they succeeded in secur ing the insertion of clauses which would prevent building over graves, and that desecrat i on so much apprehended. (H ear, hear.) With regard to the Metropolis Lo ca l Management Bill, although far from perfect, still he believed it had been amended in a way that would work for the public good. As regarded Hampstead-heath, it had got - through the House of Lords by a side wind, but their attention 'being directed to it by the speech, of their friend Mr. Cameron on that board, they had determined to oppose it, and it must come on de novo next ses sion. Mr. Lewis urged attention to this subject with a view to some arrangement, and after re ferring to the Education Bill and other measures, resumed his seat amidst loud applause. Lieut.-Colonel WILKINSON remarked that in con sequence of the previous resolution (one of con dolence with the family of the late Rev. P.,. Eckett, and expressive of regret at his lossl i of the vestry, the vote of thanks to the borough members would be deferred till next meeting, and the vestry then adjourned.

This wonderful agent will restore manhood to the most 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 ease is four weeks ; and, if used according to the printed in structions (which are very simple), failure is impossible.

AN IMP 0R T ANT DISCUSSION.—The "'limes," the "Dulcet," and other leading journals have been lately canvassing the social considerations in volved in "the amount of death and disease caused by vice." Some interesting statistics are brought to bear upon the inquiry ; but it would greatly add to their value if they in cluded the facts respecting the origin, the ravages, and the prevention of that SPECIAL VICE, which wars more than any other against the welfare of society—destroying the happi ness and disappointing the objects of matrimony, under mining the constitutions, blasting the prospects, embittering and shortening the lives of its victims, and spreading desola tion through families. The essential particulars relating to this great social evil (the besetting snare of inexperienced youth and the curse of maturity), fi together with ample instructions for removing its Physical Debi Os and recovering health, vigour, and all the ennobling Privileges of our being, are co' ntained in Dr. LA'MERT'S " SELp_pR F ,SE aVATION," a Treatise on Nervous and sent post fr ee published b y Mann and Co., 39, Cornhill, London, price ls., y or r ne of IRY% of which the 90th Edition has just been entirely to this for 13, or in a sealed envelope for 20 stamps' Dr. LAMETIT Rze., havin for 20 years devoted himself either personally No 37, BEDFORD -SQUARE, practice, may be consultp...d daily, correspondence, at his residdiCe, FORD-SQUARE, London.

GOODWOOD RACES.-WEDNESDAY. A alight shower, falling at five o'clock in the morning, and delaying the early gallops of horses engaged on Thurs day, rendered the drive across the Park more agreeable because less dusty than on Tuesday. The attendance was of course increased, as it behoved it to be, on the day of the Goodwood Stakes, and the sun illumined the gay cos tumes to be seen on the balcony and lawn, ever vary jug, ever harmonising, in this age of daring expenditure and showiness. Carriages followed each other in slow succes sion up the bill, and set down their cargoes of noble and gentle before one o'clock, when the bell rang for saddling and preparations began for the first race of the day. Betting on the starters was eagerly carried on before the numbers appeared ; one among which was a candidate for the great:race, and backed with some spirit on the previous afternoon. He won, as in duty bound by his position in the market, but his victory did not redound to his credit, for layers of odds were still ready at the price of our last quotation. St. Bernard rose gradually in favour and be came first favourite; while Vertumna (inadvertently) walked over for a handicap plate, which was not given, for lack of horses. The betting changed slightly afterwards, and before the start had taken place the Ca3sarewitch winner was again first favourite. The race was run at a great pace, and the winner, Boabdil, who had disappointed his friends at Ascot, was a mere outsider, because he was only backed for a hundred pounds by his owner. The Findon Stakes, in which many a ;flyer has made his debut, pro duced a most exciting race between three—the favourite, about whom short odds were accepted to a very large amount, landing the money by a head only. The remain ing races created no great amount of interest, and were over at half-past five o'clock.

Cellarius was the first off, but was immediately pulled back, and the running was taken up by Gemse, who came on with a lead of two or three lengths, Watchfire going on second, with Q. E. D. and Cellarius lying at his girths; on their fairly entering the straight Watchfire gradually drew upon the leader, followed by Cellarius to the end of, the rails, when the latter gave way, and Q. E. D. took his place in attendance. On reaching the stand enclosure Gemse was beaten, and Aldcroft, coming with a rush, got to Watch fire's quarters, the pair finishing a fine race home, the latter winning in the last stride by a head, three lengths separat ing the second and third.

At the appointed time Mr. M'George took the command of the 16 competitors, and paraded them (after a few esca pades on the part of Rapparee, Magnum Bonum, Dalesman, and Watchfire) in Indian file past the stand and enclosure, toronet headirg the lot, who was followed by Sir William, Attaman, the Lady Evelyn colt, Fitz-Eva, Watchfire, and Montebello; then came St. Bernard, evidently overdone, and favouring his off foreleg, Dalesman, Confectioner, Highflyer, My Partner, Boabdil, Magnum Bonum, Rappa ree, and Audrey. This preliminary business having been performed, with extreme despatch they left the post in com pact order, and on passing the stand Attaman was seen with the running, closely attended by Magnum Bonum, My Partner, Dalesman, and Watchfire, the nick, headed by Audrey, the Lady Evelyn colt, Montebello, and Attaman, lying in a cluster at their heels, and as they ran towards the bend the lot drew so close together that a sheet would have covered them. Descending the hill, Magnum Bo num rushed to the front, and considerably improved the pace, which speedily had the effect of distributing his followers, the Lady Evelyn colt going on second, Montebello third, and My Partner fourth. Then came Watchfire, Sir William, Boabdil, St. Bernard, Attaman, and Audrey, all together, with the others in straggling order ; but on rounding the lower turn My Partner suddenly dropped back from her pride of place, and before they had got half up the hill she was seen hope lessly in the rear. Mr. Fleming's colt maintained his lead, and on rounding the turn into the straight he was two or three lengths in advance of Montebello, who was followed on the lower side by Watchfire, Attaman, St. Bernard, Boabdil, and Audrey, Sir William lying on the far side, in which order they ran to the entrance of the rails, where Magnum Bonum and Montebello hung out signals of dis tress, and half way in the distance gave way to Watchfire, who came on with a decided lead, waited upon by Atta man, Sir William, Boabdil, and the favourite to the stand enclosure, when Sir William obtained a momentary ad vantage, but in a few strides after Boabdil came out full of running, had his horses safe in a few strides, and won in a canter by two lengths, Sir William saving his owner the 190 sovs by a head from Watchfire, Audrey finishing half a length in the rear of the latter; Attaman was a good fifth, St. Bernard sixth, Magnum Bonum seventh, Fitz- Eva eighth, and Coronet and Montebello close together, nine and tenth ; then followed, at wide intervals, Highflyer, Confectioner, Rapparee, and Dalesman, My Partner, who was last, walking in some time after the leading horses had passed the post.

A capital start took place, and Stockbroker immediately made running at a great pace, the front of the ruck being headed by Dualla, Aracan, Overstone, and the favourite. They ran thus to the rails, where Dualla was beaten, and the body of horses closed up with Stockbroker. Vivid on the offside, and Wasp on the near, with Partique in the centre, quitted the others as they neared the stand, where Vivid, for a few strides, had the best of the race. A very beautiful set to them took place, and ended in favour of Pratique: by a head, Vivid being beaten by a head only for second place. Overstone, a length from Vivid, was fourth.

HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION AND DISEASES OF 21IE CHES 2, BROMPTON. On Sunday morning last the anniversary sermon was preached in the chapel of this institution, by the Lord Bishop of Worcester. The text selected was St. Matthew v., 7, " Blessed are the merciful ; for they shall obtain mercy." Having dwelt upon the duties and privileges of Christians, and more especially upon the importance of car rying out the precept of the text, the Bishop particularly commended the inmates of the admirable institution within whose walls they were assembled to the exercise of such Christian charity and mercy. He stated that the Hospital for Consumption at Brompton was established 21 years ago, for the reception of a class of cases usually denied admission into general hospitals. There were 200 in-patients at a time in this hospital, though last winter this number had been increased to 210, by means of extra beds put up to meet, as far as possible, the unusually numerous demands for admission. Here the inmates were supplied with every comfort which their sufferings required. They enjoyed a mild and uniform temperature, such as they could not have in their own homes, or even in general hospitals. That most important duty of ministering to the spiritual health of the patients—at a time, WO, Whpl the mind is best cal -1 culated to receive religious reisSions—was carefully at= tended to. In the beautif t which they were met together the inmates were enabled to attend public wor ship. The patients were also constantly visited by the chaplain bt the wards for religious instruction and console ' tion. The Bishop further said that dh.Ong the past year 'the institution had relieved a larger amount, of human suf fering than In any former year ; 1,096 i n - pa ti en t s an d beennundtreatment. Thi s h a d a dd e d grea tly 5,736 out-patients—frgne all parts of London a n d the coun try—having of the annual subsc r ipti ons .

The Bishop concluded with an earnest appeal in behalf of the funds of the hospital,which stood much in need of fur ther help. Tte colleeticiti after the sermon amounted to £lO 9s. sd. A CONTRAST ; OR, THE OAK AND YHE BALCUBLE.', The following is an extract from the,tale-entitled " Oon trast ; or, the Oak and the Bramhle,7 to which , the first prize of £250 has been tivlarded by Lord Brougham, Mat thew Davenport Hilli Esq., and John Cassell, Esq., and which is now publishing y in " C a sseiei'llustrated Family Paper."

His look was glom*, aga dissatisfied, an d hi s manner nd? u re p st a le p s e s n an , an d un d s e tru asy ck . He thrust his hands into hisiwkets, and as quickly withdrew them, and then drummed on the desk with his knuckles, with more energy than music. "Deucedly provokingr. he muttered. "What a fool I was to play so long who I was out bf luck I Sixteen pounds gone, clean as a whistle, and nothing t o p a y it w ith, that's worse. And to think of that Marklove beating me every time just by two !aii4three. Was ever anything so '1 tantalising ?

Well, it's no use chewing the cud over it. That won't bring the tin .back. How am Ito make it up. There's the puzzle." , Frein this soliloquy, it became evident that Master Ro bert hi& not found bagatelle, in the long - run, quite such glorious fun as he had conceived it to be when his winnings were making a respectable addition to his pocket money. He was still deep in -meditation when the door opened, and a bluff-looking man, a 'fele red'and pimply in the face, who was dressed with more showiness than taste, and whose coat looked decidedly white and shiny about the seams and elbows, entered with something between a lounge and a swagger. Robert changed colour as he saw him, started from his seat, and, making a hurried step forward, said, with some impatience in his tone— " Mr. Marklove, what on earth could make you think of coming here ?" " What makes people go to a good many places ?" re turnedsaid you would come down." " want my money, please. You his visitor, ,6 Yes, I know I did," replied Robert; "but the fact is I have been very busy, and ---,,, " That's what I guessed it was," replied Mr. Marklove ; " so, as I've got a sum to make up, I thought I would just come down to you, like." "But the fact is," stammered Robert, "I am not quite provided at the moment." " Ah, that cock won't fight," criedThe:other. " Debts of honour, you know, my young gent, must be paid, and no mistake. Besides, I've got my own calls to meet out of it. I napped it after you cut, and I'm in pretty stiffish with Tom Maltby. What was to be done ? Could Cleverdon assist him and would he ? His pride revolted from the thought ; but he had to learn that those who have involved themselves in pecuniary dif ficulties cannot consult their pride. He must make the effort ; there was no help for it. He had got rid of Mark love for the present; but four o'clock would soon arrive, and would not fail to bring him back again, whew, if his mouth was not stopped, he would be ruined for ever. These agreeable reflections were interrupted by the open ing of the deor. He started, expecting to see again the hated face of Marklove ; and it was with a sensation of re lief that he saw the entrance of a tall, gentlemanly-looking man, in a blue frock, buttoned up to the throat, and with that erect step and bearing which at once identify the sol dier, who inquired if Mr. Freestone was at home. "Never mind," he said, on receiving Robert's answer in the negative; " I only want to pay my account—Colonel R'ishbrook. You can take the money, I dare s a y p" gi Oh, yes, sir," said Robert ; " no difficulty about that." "There very seldom is," remarked the colonel. " Twenty one pounds ten, I see. Please write me a receipt for it. There is nothing more, is there ? lam just going off to the West Indies, and wish to settle up everything before I leave, as my return is very uncerta i n. „ Robert was just dipping his pen in the ink as the colonel said this. A thought flashed across his brain. Here was an amount which would more than extricate him from his difficulties. The party was going away, and might never return. At any rate, he was safe from imme diate detection, and should have time to think.

EASTERN UNION. In reference to the bill for amalgamating this company ith the Eastern Counties Company, the secretary of the Eastern Union Company states that the sum of £19,000 per annum originally claimed by his directors had since been allowed by the committee on the bill. He also states that an agreement was yesterday sealed which he hopes will place his company's affairs in a position equally as ad vantageous as that in which they stood on the sth ult.,when the Wharncliffe meeting was held. MADEAS. The traffic receipts on this company's south-west line for the month of May last amounted to £13,138 on an average of 3661 miles open, against £7,886 on • an average of 235 miles open in May, 1861, showing an increase of 1311 miles in the length, and of £5,252 in the receipts. The increase in the receipts per mile is nearly 6 per cent. upon the ex tended mileage, as compared with those of the correspond ing month of last year. RAILWAY BILLS. Yesterday a committee of the Lords, consisting of the Earl of Romney, chairman and Lords Promfret, Dungannon, Hardinge, and Northwick, met to consider the case of the Charing-cross Railway Company's City Terminus Bill for amending their Act of 1861, and by which they were authorised to make a bridge over the Thames between Southwark and London bridges. The company, it appears , have deposited their plans at the Admiralty, who have signified their approval of the same ; lint the Conservators of the Thames decline to do so, and as the Act does not con tain any provision with respect to the conflict of authority between the Admiralty and the Thames Conservancy it is eiptalent that affanch conMer - Of‘atteliOrity should be oV.: '044. It was proposed by the promoters that the ques tion shetild bo settled by air arbitrator to be apilointed by the'Boaril of Trade; but the committee on con s id era ti on decided that the Railway Department of the Board of Trade itself should be the umpire. The' Bill far the Mold and Wrexham Railway was passed in the Marquiti of 'Sails 'bury'S committee, and the Newcastle and Counky of Dawn Railvtray in Mr. Massey's committee. ELECTRIC AN,D INTERNATIONAL TELEGRAPH The directors of this company, in their report, state that a genetal reduction of tariff to all places of considerable. traffic within an area of 300 miles took effect on the Ist of February last, and although, as anticipated, the diminished charge has not yet been compensated by increased business,' the sacrifice has been less than could reasonably have been expected In addition to this, the loss on the long circuits to Liverpool, Manchester, &c., from the shilling tariff intro duced by the United Kingdom .Telegraph Company, has • continued unabated during the half-year, and the orgnary_ revenue has thereby 'been diminished to the extent of many thousand pounds. On the other hand, there has been steady improvement at many of the numerous stations of the company unaffected by the competition. The opening of 167 additional stations (principally on railways) for corn-, mercid purposes has further contributed to swell the re ceipts, and there has been a satisfactory increase in the earn.: pang's foreign business. The directors have entered into extended arrangements of a favourable character with Con tinental" Governments, which, by opening a wider area of operation,, have led to a large expansion of traffic, .whiich will be further developed when the new cable, now com pleted and about to be submerged, is brought into use. The combination of the latter circumstance has happily neu tralised the loss caused by the reductions alluded to above; and .th e directors have much satisfaction in stating that the gross revenue of the half-year amounts to £102,367, agaihst £102;619 in the corresponding period of 1861. The large addition of work which the company has undertaken has been performed with increasing accuracy, the percentige of errors, minute as it was, having been considerably redu6ed. The 'absence of casualty to any of the company's cables since the last meeting has hugely diminished the cost. of their. maintenance. Deducting from the gross revenue of £102,361 the working charges and interest, amounting to £71,131; which includes the exceptional item of £6,056 for .law and; Parliamentary charges, there is a clear profit of £31,236 on the operations of the six months, and the direc tors are consequently enabled to maintain the usual divi dend of £3 10s. per cent. for the half-year, which will ab sorb £29,816, leaving a balance of £1,420 to be added to the account for the renewal of the submarine cable. • 711 E NAVY. Her Majesty's ship Caledonia, in progress of con struction at Woolwich as an armour-plated ship, according to present arrangements, will be launched on Oct. 24th, at the highest spring tide. Two lines of plates are ordered to be attached before the launch, and the remainder will be completed in No. 3 dock, in course of being lengthened for that pur pose. Her length between perpendiculars is 270 ft. An Admiralty order has been received at Chat ham Dockyard directing the construction at that establishment of another large target, composed of iron placed on wooden backing, to be used in the additional experiments to be made at Shoe buryness with the new description of Armstrong gun. It is not yet decided whether the target will be constructed by the hands belonging to the ship wright or to the engineer department. The Warrior, 40, iron screw frigate, Capt. the Hon. A. A. Cochrane, C. 8., sailed from Spithead yesterday morning on her cruise westward. The Himalaya, screw troopship, Capt. E. Lacy, was yesterday placed in the double dock at Ports mouth to carry out some repairs to her rudder, clean bottom, and examine valves, &c. The ship during the past week has been carrying out her repairs and refit at moorings in the harbour, for want of jetty room alongside the dockyard. The delay in the completion of her outfit that has consequently en sued, from the lost time conveying men and mate rial to and from the dockyard and the ship together with the necessarily accompanying extra expendi ture, fully corroborates the argument of Rear- Admiral the Hon. Joseph Denman in his recently published letter to Lord Palmerston on " The press ing necessity for increased docks and basins at Portsmouth," &c. In the testing of four armour-plates on the sides of the Sultan target ship at Portsmouth on Monday, with the 68-pounder gun of the Stork gunboat, only one underwent the test with any credit. Three of the plates proved to be not only defective in the grain of the metal, but more particularly so in the welding of the layers. The one plate alluded to proved to be of a very fair character, both in grain and welding. It was supplied by a Mr. Cheney. In some experimental firing carried out yesterday a couple of homogeneous metal 10-inch shells filled with molten iron were fired at an undamaged part of one of Brown's (of Sheffield) best plates on the side of the Sultan, and the result conclusively proved that armour-plates may be as readily broken by this description of missile as by a solid 68-pound shot. The gun used was one of 84 cwt., 10 inch bore, with a charge of only 91b. of powder ; the distance being 100 yards. The indentation made on the plates was 1 inch and 6.loths and 1 inch and B.loths respectively. 7HE A RAIL - _ During yesterday and the previous day the fol lowing reinforeements of Royal Artillery and other troops for the various corps serving in India ern barked at Gravesend under the direction of the officers of the staff from Chatham garrison :—Pour officers and 195 non-commissioned officers and men of the Royal Artillery ; one officer of the 17th 1 Lancers, and one officer of the 19th Regiment.
