RAREY at the ALHAMBRA PALACE. —Many inquiries having been made during the past week by noblemen and gentlemen as to when Mr. Rarey would give the next EXPOSITION of his system of subdu ing vicious horses, and of the proper manner of gentleing and teaching the horses for all practicable purposes, he has the honour to announce that he will give one on Saturday next, August 6, at the Alhambra Palace, Leicester-square, annmencmg at 12 o'clock, when some new and interesting subjects will be produced, One of them is a proud lively savage, which, from his antecedents and present appearance, promises to be a good subject to test to the uttermost Mr. uarey's skill in dealing with dangerous horses. The follow ingletter has been addressed to Mr. Rarey by the owner of horse: " 34, Worship-street, Finsbury, August 1, 1859. " Dear Sir,—ln reply to your note of inquiry with regard to the character of our horse, we beg to inform you that in his Present condition we consider him a most dangerous animal, and shall be most happy to place him in your hands to receive a lesson of obedience, and also to have your advice as to his Proper managethent in future. The horse, having killed one of our men, is now kept securely tied up by the head with three stro ng ro p es, t o p reven t him from doing any further ABUT. He is never approached except by climbing over the partition of his stall in front of him, as no man could go into it in the ordinary way. He is a high-spirited, courageous horse, and if he could be broken of his vicious propensities Would be a most valuable one. • ---- " We, are, dear Sir, " Your obedient servants, 4 ,`J. S.

ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA ; 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-medicalreader. 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 tho reach of every one interested in the matter." — Dublin Medical Press.

An attempt i s now being made on the rights and iberties of the working class of England, as insi dious, audacious, and perilous as any that has been made in our time. It is our proper business to watch over the rights of all classes of our fellow citizens ; and our vigilance is always keenly directed to the case of those who are still unrepre sented in the Legislature, and who should, there fore, be especially befriended by those who are. A large portion of that class are now in danger of an insufferable tyranny, bringing on every kind of misery —discontent, disrepute, poverty, and ruin. Unless they and their friends exert themselves im mediately to expose and defy this tyranny, and to assert their own rights and liberties, this year will be a calaniitoui one fol• - many thousands of the working men of England, and an introduction to something even worse. If there is a right more sacred and indisputable than another, in our country and our time, it is a man's disposal of his own industry. At this day, it ought not to be necessary to explain, anywhere out of the school-room, that wherever men are not in a state of chattel-slavery, their labour is their own property, over which they have an absolute and ex clusive right. We pity the Russian serf because he is not the owner of his own labour. We pity the French workman whenever the Government thinks proper to fix by law or authority the rate of wages, or the price of commodities which wages must buy. Government then tyrannically inter feres with a man's first and dearest right—to dis pose freely of his labour. We pity the Egyptian peasant who is forcibly set to work upon canals or public buildings, and paid such wages as the au thorities please to give. We even pity the German artisans, who are hedged in by restrictions which were once imposed in England, and long ago found to be intolerable. With a view to keep up wages, and to give privileges to a few at the expense of the many, and also with some sincere, though mis taken, notion of maintaining a high quality of exe-' cution in handicraft trades, guilds are kept up in Germany with extreme strictness ; multitudes of willing workmen are prevented from pur suing the calling they prefer, and are com pelled to emigrate if they will not starve. The prodigious and increasing emigration of a pau perised multitude, which now alarms the rulers of Germany, is mainly owing to the bondage to which industry is subjected under ancient methods which the times have outgrown. While considering the case of all these working classes abroad, we have been accustomed to congra tulate ourselves on the freedom enjoyedby the same order of society in England. There were once guilds in this country, and attempts to fix prices and wages by act of Parliament, and, up to a recent time, restrictions on the supply of food, and there- , fore on the development of industry. One by one of these tyrannies of ignorance have been got rid of, and, as the Legislature and the nation grew wiser, we exulted in the spread of freedom and the growth of spirit, intelligence, and prosperity among the working men. But now, as too often before, a rude check is given to our hope and satisfaction, and we are almost ready to say that there seems to be a fatality against the largest cl tss in the nation ever securing the full enjoyment of their dearest rights. It is the tyranny of ignorance again that we have to combat ; but this time it is not the ignorance of rulers or of society at large, but of the class immediately concerned. There aro about 60,000 skilled labourers (besides an unknown number of unskilled) employed in the building trades in London alone. This great body of workmen have, for the most part, wives and children at home ; so that we may consider that at least 300,000 persons in London and the neighbour hood depend on the skilled part of that branch of industry. The workmen receive about five shil lings a day, or thirty shillings a week ; an income equal to that of the majority of curates of the Church of England, and to that of many a half-pay officer of the army and navy, and a multitude of fundholders. Such an income, prudently laid out, will support wife and little ones till the little ones become able to work for their own support. These wages are paid for Mt hours' labour per week : that is, for twelve or fifteen hours less of work than most people in England, America, France, and Ger many choose to set themselves when they work in the establishments of employers, or by the piece. Our London builders work ten hours for five days in the week, and eight and a half on Satur days. Wherever they could go, at home or abroad, they must work at least that number of hours, or a greater, for the same wages ; and most of them are satisfied. Unless very ignorant, they must know how glad their fathers and grandfathers would have been to have obtained such wages in days when provisions are comparatively cheap and taxation is largely shifted from the working-classes to the aris tocracy ; and for the most part they accept their lot as a favourable one. But they are not allowed to live and work in peace and content. They are threatened, overborne, disturbed, and likely to be ruined, not by government or aristocracy, but by a few of their own comrades. It Makes a free citi zen's blood boil to read of the meddlesome tyranny which is spoiling many a poor man's home at this moment, driving the husband and father from his work, robbing him thereby of his wages, compell ing him to spend his precious days in idleness, and to take money which he has not earned to buy his children bread. In a certain number of weeks there will be no money and no bread, And then the work which he never wished to leave will be irrecovera- Who does it ? And who ble, and ruin will have overtaken his happy home. e which—have been A l h m e n s a d r a t A certain number of wrong-headed or wrong ful. nine hours per day ; had better not work more than eight hours are enough, and going about preaching for some time past that men wnedyhymriigesniLtaltwlotedhnolseietd? not settle hinting that, in fact, e ey ho sa u y rs w a n d i a c y h will meet our present requirements,. will be agitated for by and indicates that a further reduction will be asked for by and by.

All this, e however, is a matter on which e ver y man may _havet his own opinion ; and he ought to have perfect liberty to form his own plan of life. Any man who thinks he can do his duty by his household by nine, eight, or seven hours' toil, has a perfect right to arrange accordingly ; and so has the m an who, at piece work or otherwise, chooses to work eleven or twelve hours. They have the choice between less work and less pay, or more work and more pay. But here we light upon the circumstance which proves the dishonest character of the agitation stirred up by the tyrants of the building class. Their demand is that the employers shall pay the same wages as before for an hour's less work per man per day ; in other words, for 300,000 hours' less work per week in London alone. Such rob bery of the employers will, of course, not be per mitted. The employers will not submit to it; so ciety at large will not countenance it ; and the workmen themselves do not for the most part desire it. Yet are they subjected to the disrepute, loss, and hopeless prospects which belong to such a movement. They say by hundreds that they have no choice ; that they are under compulsion • that they and their families shall suffer for it if they refuse to strike. They are thoroughly aware that a few mischievous men, who are fond of notoriety and power, and of the salaries which are paid to the agents of strikes, are making tools of them, and dragging them into an enterprise which must fail; but they dare not resist; and thus are the stout, able-bodied, industrial flower of English society made slaves of by a handful of self-seekers, who have no manner of right to interfere in their affairs. The string of bad reasons given by the agitators shows the true character of the movement. They want to introduce working by relays, or by in creased numbers, not for the same sum of money, but to make up the same amount of time. They assume that there is a certain quantity of work to be done, which will take so much time to do. They propose to spread the work compulsorily among a larger number of men, not dividing the wages as well as the work, but paying accord ing to numbers, and not to time or work. The excuse for a rank cheat like this it would not be easy for a fair-minded man to guess. It is that numbers who are now out of work will be brought in. This dragging in of inferior men to the injury of the superior ones already employed, this artificial increase of the number to be main tained by the wages fund, is an outrage which it becomes the workmen, yet more than the employers, to resist. The whole scheme is one of pillage, whichever way it is looked at. We trust the in telligent and upright members of the building class will assert their rights, and show a strong front against the tyranny which would set them at vari ance with their employers, and break up their pro spect of honourable independence. The firms in the building trades are resolved on supporting Messrs. Trollope, in whose yards the strike was decreed to begin. All workmen who will not assert their own rights and liberties against the agitator s will be turned off on the 6th inst ; and everybody knows what must follow—loss all round and abso lute ruin to those who depend on their daily labour for their daily bread. The boasts of final success sent forth by the agents of the strike deceive nobody. The case would be hopeless if the cause were less bad than it is ; but the movement is so thoroughly bad that the sympathy of society is altogether with the employers, and with such of the men as may be courageous enough to take their stand upon their rights. Contractors will be allowed time ; inde pendent workmen will be protected by law and sandt.ioned by public opir.ion ; while the agitators will be blighted by the contempt and the cowards huMbled by the pity of society.` Is it yet too late for the intelligent working men to aN' , ert this disgrace and calamity ? Can they not even yet resolve to show that England is a free country for the working man ? Can they not close the gulf which yawns to swallow up the capital of employers, and the working man's wages ? Let them not open their lips in political complaint till they have put an end to a mischief mote costly to them than any war, more burdensome than any tax, past or present, and more degrading than any insult that could be offered them by any class but their own. (From the Times.) No man of average humanity can look at several hundred poor fellows toiling under a hot sun from 6 o'clock to 6 o'clock without compassion and re. spect. Their furrowed faces, their rigid movements, and their slouching figures, show that their work tells upon them, and that the primaeval curse is with tliem a fell reality. How One would like to mitigate their hard toil ; to abate the fury of the sun that glares over their heads; to lighten by mechanism the burden on their shoulders, and to shorten their toil by at least one sweet hour of rest ! Or, if this can't be done, how delightful to give them all a few weeks' holiday ; to place them on grassy banks, by running streams, and under the shade of ancient groves—there, amid their friends, to recruit their - weary frames, and enable them to think of something more than bricks and hods and picks and spades! But there is no use wishing anything of the sort, for it is plainly im possible. Labour must submit to the facts of the case, be they ever so hard. .The sailor must work n foul weaiher as well as fair, and cannot refuse to ;'url topsails because it is blowing hard or because ;he sails are stiff with wet and fi:ost. The doctor must go out at all hours and assist at the most diffi cult and disagreeable operations. Everybody, that does his duty, has his trials, to his health, to his temper, to his brain, or his affections. So the case of these poor Irishmen—and most of them are Irish men—working their joints stiff and their faces rough with incessant toil, is only of a piece with the rest of human life, though work may not always show itself so much on the outside. That what do the facts of their condition prescribe for them ? They must work as much as they can while the fine weather lasts ; they cannot work in frost or in rain, they cannot do much in the short days ; once at work, the scaffold once up, the mechanism once arranged, the materials once coming in, the supe rintendents once engaged, builders, architects, tradesmen, contractors, clerks, all once at their posts, it behoves employers to do the work as quickly as possible. A great capital is neoesaary in all these arrangements, and it mnst bring in returns soon. All these are the natural conditions of the trade, and these are not always compatible with short hours and holidays. Wait a little, and these things will come when they are not wanted; but a fine August in London is not the time or place for a builder's holiday. One might as well try to stop a ship in a storm, or a sicknes while the doctor is preparing the remedy. The house must be finished as quickly as possible, or everybody will be ruined who has any concern in it. _ _ This is the peculiar hardship, the injury, and the crime of a builders' " strike" in the middle of summer. Of course, the clever fellows behind the scenes, who sit all day at the tap of the " Wolf in Sheep's Clothing" and tipple at the cost of their dupes, select the time because it is the most unfit for stopping. They choose the time as a ruffian does when he wants to smash a railway train. He lays a log across the rail, not at a station, but mid way between two stations, and where the rail crosses a river or a deep valley. It is just now the worst time for everybody. The contractor is anxiously calculating whether he can roof in or break the neck of his job before winter. The labourer has just got out of debt, and is hoping to save enough to live when frost and rain stop his work. Proprietors and employers are looking on, and calculating the time when they may expect to occupy the house or receive a dividend from the concern. Every cloud in the sky makes them anxious that no time be lost. This is just the moment when every man on the building finds that he must stop. Generally speaking, he would gladly give a sovereign out of his own pocket to be able ';.o go on quietly, but he must go with the rest. So everything stops, everything spoils. The builder has borrowed large sums of money at high interest, or has creditors to meet; at all events, he has a large " plant," which only pays with much use. If it is an object to do the thing when the greatest mischief may follow, then this is the right time. What time so proper to shoot a man down as when he is sitting at his fireside with his wife and family ? But common sense and common feeling tell us that this is not the right way to advance rights, or to do good to anybody. No wonder that poor Daniel O'Connell told the present Lord Chancellor confi dentially that " strikes" were the bane of his coun try—that they ruined, first masters, then men, and so drov e away tra d e an d ca pital. If in Lon don labourers are underpaid, this is not the way to better them. The right way can never be so wrong. It cannot answer; it never has answered, and it will not answer. The poor fellows who throw down their hods or thei r shovels at such bidding may be'sheep, but the men who bid them are wolves. As a matter of course, the Master Builders have taken measures of defence. They have been told that Messrs. Trollope have only been selected for the first victims, and that all the rest are to follow ; so they have accepted the challenge, and declared ar with the " Conference of the United Building Trades." They are resolved not to employ men who profess to obey another master, and who may therefore at any moment leave them in the lurch. Self-preservation justifies this step. Nobody is bound to do that which places him in bondage, and which may utterly ruin him. A master knows best what wages he can afford to pay, and what hours and other rules it is necessary to enforce ; but if any day—on the Ist of August, for example—he may be obliged either to give higher wages or shorter hours, or see his works stop, altogether, then, of course, he may be ruined against his will and better knowledge. The Master Builders have simply de manded the privilege of free Englishmen in resolv ing not to employ the members of a mischievous conspiracy. Every labourer can consult his own interests in his own time and fashion. Every la- , bourer has opportunities. He can follow work all over the town—all over the country—all over tho world. He can save money and become a master himself. One of the largest contractors in the last generation, represented by a name in the list of Master Builders this day advertised, used the point with pride to a very well built house, in the facing of which he had himself laid every brick. There, are the same opportunities in these days. But the whole question of employment is one between mas ter and man, and no man will ever live to be master unless he is content to be man till then. Wo pity these poor fellows. We pity the privations they must suffer. We pity their wives and children.. We pity their f9lly, and, more than all, the ill pas sions sure to be fostered by the " strike," if it goes on. But we tell them they have done an act con trary to common sense, English fairness, and Chris tian charity, in suddenly striking at a time calcu lated to ruin their masters. They have compelled their masters to defend themselves by the only means in their power, and the Trades' Unions are alone responsible for the quarrel and all its conse quences. STRIKE IN THE BUILDING TRADE. We have been requested to publish the following letter, addressed to the Chairman of the United Trades : " Sir,—l hope the United Trades will lose no time in taking measures to let it be known that the other trades in the country have no connection with the United Building Trades,' and that they will not support them in the unprinciplod and wicked course which they are taking in organising a strike, which, unless prevented, will become general in London on Saturday. That body, I understand, are led by a few reckless men, who are regardless of the consequences they are entail ing on hundreds of families. Had they merely sought to reduce the hours from four o'clock to two o'clock on Saturday, so as to secure a half-holiday, they would have had the sympathy of the country generally with them; but, as it'is, many even of their own number see the folly and injustice of asking ten hours' pay for nine hours' work, espe cially in a trade more healthy and less exposed to evil influences than hundreds of others. However much I regret and deplore strikes, yet there are occasions when, remonstrances having failed, the injustice inflicted on the working men by the masters is so flagrant that strikes become justi fiable. Instances are but too frequent where masters cruelly neglect and oppress those in their employment, and by such eons uct place a diffi culty in the way of right-minded employers car rying out their benevolent schemes. - However, the lull in foreign and domestic politics offers now a prospect that questions of social reform will be attended to in the next and ensuing session of Parliament, but if such unprin cipled strikes as these take place the feeling towards the working classes will be changed, and legislation on the subject will retrograde instead of advance. It is for this reason that I address you, in the hope that a decided demonstration on the part of the other tracTes may yet stop these infatuated men, and that they will yield to wiser counsellors, as among them there must be many good and Chris tian men who may be induced, if not to control, at least to separate themselves from their misguided companions. " the strike of the United Building Trades can not succeed, as, though they may effect the ruin of a few of the small ,contractors and master build ers, the principal contractors will receive the sym pathy of their employers, and in most cases the delay in the completion of a building is of no seri ous consequence. _ _ "Your obedient servant, " Grosvenor-square, Aug. 2." " KINNAIRD." TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir : —In common with all who have seen the working of the Bricklayers' Association I read your to-day's leading article with great interest, and, believing thi s assoc i a ti on t o b e at l east as in jurious to the men and their interests as it is to those of their employers, I sincerely hope that your attack may be the means of breaking its power once for all. I take the liberty of making known to you the circumstances upon which this opinion was founded. About two years ago we were erect ing at our Battersea works some engineers' and other shops, involving a good deal of brickwork, and employing about 120 bricklayers; the best of these employed on the parts requiring special skill were paid ss. 6d., the rest ss. a-day, which we had ascertained to be full pay for the class of work at the time. A young man (paid by the association, as we were informed, 7s. a day), watched the men at work from the road, and spoke to them, and there were some murmurs for the extra 6d., but nothing seemed very serious till at one dinner time almost all except our regular old hands left work, and a prinfed placard was posted about the neigh bourhood, stating that bricklayerS were not to work at " Prices's." As we have not the character of being hard with our people, this was not plea sant, but our only answer was a counter notice that we wanted bricklayers, but that no member of the association need apply. As the most impor tant part of our brickwork had been finished we were in a very comfortable position, and intended, if necessary, to go on quietly till the advanced season made the supply of bricklayers much greater than the demand for them. However, within tcu days and Vo cnout our brickwork was all going on again, and we were informed that the association had had er.ougb of " Price's ;" but "Price's" had not had enough of it. We traced the way the strike had been organ ised, and the accounts we then heard of the com pulsion which had been exercised over numbers of well-intentioned, hard-working men, who were per fectly satisfied with what they knew to be right pa y s s an l a nd ed re i to oic c e on in tin th u s e h a o t pe w o o f rk tiis makes us, e c l a ss being freed from the tyranny of the few talk sawidho before, longed talk ing men who seem at present to be their absolute masters.—l am, sir, your most obedient servant, G. F. WILSON. Price's Patent Candle Company, Belmont, Vauxhall, July 30. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—ln consequence of numerous inquiries we shall be much obliged if you will permit us to state through the medium of your columns that the strike is confined to our building works, and that our deco rative, upholstery, and cabinet works are in no way affected thereby.—We are, sir, your most obedient servants, GEORGE TROLLOPE and SONS. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Reiistrar:lienerar s Report.) The return of births and deaths in London issued by authority of the Registrar-General for last week indicates some improvement in the state of the public health. The deaths during five weeks had constantly increased, and in the week ending July 23 had risen td 1,605. A mitigation of the intense heat, accompabied by occasional showers, has been followed by a decrease of the deaths, which in the week ending last Saturday were 1,419. The mean temperature of the air was 67.4 deg. in the first week of July, 71 deg. and 69 deg. in the two subsequent weeks, and last week it was 67 deg. In the ten years 1849-58 the average number of deaths in the weeks corresponding with last week was 1,148 ; but, as the deaths returned for last week occurred in an increased population, they should be compared with the average raised in proportion to the increase, namely, with 1,262. Tho result is that the deaths of last week exceeded by 157 the number which the average rate of mor tality for the last week of July -would have pro duced. The decrease in the deaths of last week from diarrhoea as compared with those of the previous week is not great, for the numbers were succes sively 415 and 382; but the complaint appears to have been less aggravated in its character, as the deaths referred to " cholera" and " choleraic diar rhoea" were 39 in the previous week, and last week were only 19. Out of the 382 cases in which diar rhoea is recorded, 356 occurred to children. It was shown in the last report that this disease was fatal chiefly in the east districts, rind the same observa tions hold true in regard to the present returns, for 109 deaths from it occurred in that portion of the metropolis, viz., 29 in Shoreditch, 27 in Beth• nal-green, 12 in Whitechapel, 9 in St. George's in-the-East, 20 in Stepney and Mile-end Old -town, 12 in Poplar. There were 14 in Westminster, 20 in Marylebone, 30 in St. Pancras, 16 in Islington. Of the 19 deaths referred to cholera, 5 were those of adults, and one of these is returned thus :—" On July 23, at Kensal-green gasworks house, an engineer, aged 43 years, diarrhoea (18 hours), Asiatic cholera (3 days), collapse (48 hours)." Scarlatina was fatal in 36 cases, diphtheria in 16, smallpox in 23. Last week the births of -881 boys and 922 girls. in. all 1,8.03 children, were registered in Londoi , In the ten correspouding weeks of the years 1839. . 58 the average number was 1,485. At the Royal. Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.909 in. The, barometer fell from 30 in. on Monday to 29.68 on Saturday. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 67 deg., which was 4.8 deg. above the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The mean daily temperature was above the average on every day after Sunday, and on Wednesday and Thursday this excess was about 2 deg. The thermometer in the shade fell to its lowest point, 46.5 deg., on Monday, and rose to its highest, 85 deg., on "Wed nesday. The range of temperature in the week was therefore 38.5 deg. ; the mean daily range in the week was 20.8 deg. The mean dew-point tempe rature was 57 deg. ; and the difference between this and the mean air temperature was 10 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 70. The mean temperature of the water of the Thames was 71.7 deg., which is 4.7 deg. above that of the air. After Monday the'wind blew from the south west. The rain measured in the week was 0.03 in., which fell on Saturday. THE NAVY. The Nile 91 guns left the Mersey yesterday. During her stay at that station she has been the object of considerable attraction to the inhabitants of the port, great numbers of whom assembled on the piers to see her departure. The Duke of Wellington, 131 guns, is expected in her place. Another addition will shortly be made to the line-of-battle steamers of the Royal Navy by the launch of the fine screw steamship Irresistible, 80 guns, from Chatham dockyard. She is now nearly out of the hands of the caulkers, and will be fit for launching in a very short period. Her machinery is to be of 400 horse power. Admiralty orders have been received at Chatham dockyard for the Tartar, 46, which has been for many years used as a receiving hulk to vessels fit ting for sea at that port, to be taken into No. 1 dock, now occupied by the Wasp, screw steamer, in order that she may be broken ttp, her great age rendering her useless. The steam tender Avon, Mr. J. H. Lawrence master, is appointed to leave Plymouth to-day for Cherbourg, with the invalid French seamen brought from China by the Calcutta, 84. A court-martial assembled yesterday morning on board the Impregnable, 104, Capt. Stewart, in Hamoaze, Plymouth, for the trial of Mr. Frederick Kirkman, master of her Majesty's steam sloop Gla diator, for drunkenness. The steam store ship Dee, Master J. C. Pullen commanding, from Woolwich, with stores, ma chinery, and boilers, arrived at Plymouth on Mon day, and went into Keyham basin to discharge. The crew of the sailing ship Calcutta, 84, Capt. Hall, in Plymouth Sound, were inspected on Mon day by Port-Admiral Sir Barrington Reynolds, who was conveyed to her in the gunboat Redwing. Having discharged her powder the Calcutta was in the afternoon towed up Hamoaze. When off Mount Wise the crew mounted the yards and in a few seconds detached the sails. Her topgallant masts and yards were sent down with equal celerity. The Calcutta was then placed alongside the Devonport Dockyard to be dismantled. She will be put out of commission in about a week. The sailing line-of-battle ship Cumberland, 70, Capt. H. D. Rogers, was towed out of Plymouth Souud on Monday by the Zephyr, and sailed for Sheerness, with a strong westerly wind. She took supernumeraries for the above port. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—B. B. Stuart, master, to the Gladiator ; E E. B. Williams, master, to the Virago ; H. L. Cleveland, master, additional, to the Asia; and John N. Harvey, assistant-paymaster, to the Aboukir. THE A.R311% In consequence of the difficulty experienced by many of the agriculturists in Kent in obtaining a sufficient number o f hands for reaping operations, owing to the great scarcity of labour, several of the farmers in the nreighbourhood. of Chatham have made most urgent tapplications to the military autho rities to allow a number of the troops now quar tered in that gar rison to be employed for a short time in assisting in getting in the harvest. The authorities have granted the application, and orders have been forty aaxled to the Major-General com manding at Cha .tham giving permission for a large number of the t coops belonging to the three bat talions of infant ry to be placed at the disposal of those farmers who may require their services. The troops arc to be paid regular wages, which will be approved by the' military authorities, and none but men of the best character will be allowed to be em ployed in this c'te scription of labour. Intelligence h aving been received at the Horse Guards that the 20th company of Royal Engineers, now stationed i n the Mauritius, to which they pro ceeded in 1853,. !nave been reduced considerably be low their prop a strength, in consequence of deaths and other cast to lties, the authorities have decided on despatching: the 27th company, under the com mand of Capta.i a A. W. Durnford, to that station, for the purpo sE of assisting the 20th company in prosecuting the engineering and other works on which they are now engaged. The 27th company, which is Aldershott Camp, will join head quarters at VY LSI 4.• iLa VL lv made up to 120 men prior to its embarkation. A variety of projects having lately been under consideration a t Woolwich, with a view of advanc ing the sanity.] 'y condition of the soldier, by improv ing the means of preparing his daily food, whether in barracks, 01.1 the road, or in camp, a number of patent cooksa3 g inventions have been introduced, each of which: has presented advantages over the old methods, 'which, it is admitted, proved so cala mitous to the, British soldier during the Russian war. An of fe !ctual trial of several of Capt. Grant's ambulatory • nd other kitchens was yesterday , made on Dartford :Heath, under the inspection of Major- Gen. Sir R.. Dacres, K.C.8., Rear-Admiral C. S. Dacres, C. 8.. (the General's brother), and the prin cipal officers. of Woolwich garrison. The whole of, the disposabl e force of the Royal Artillery stationed I at Woolwict L were paraded in marching order for that purpose . , in front of the barrack, at half-past eight yeste rd .ay morning, and marched in two divi sions to Dart ford, the Ist division taking the Dover' road througl L 'Welling, and the 2d division proceed ing through. Elth9m and Bexley, and arriving at the heath at 11 o'clock. An appropriate space, con sisting of a n extensive range of the heath, was taken by th e troops on their arrival, and occupied as encamp n lent quarters, where in the course of half-an-hot • about 300 canvas tents were pitched, and at half- past one the whole of the officers and men dined N vith the same facility and comfort as in permanent barracks. Captain Grant's battalion and hospitaA cooking-waggons, recently tested in Woolwich :arsenal in the presence of the sanitary committee, followed in the rear of the march, as well as cane teen, &c., but the preparation for the dinners wrs; not performed, as on the former occa sion, on tile road, to give an opportunity of fairly testing the capabilities of the pontoon cooking stoves at th e same time. For the erection of these latter stoves, trenches were dug in the form of a cross, in w 1 Lich four pontoons were laid, served by an iron chiminey about two feet in height, easily adapted or removed. The fires were lighted in the trench at 'die four angles, and the current of air was easily available for keeping the fires in good condition. Every description of stewing, boiling, &c., was th - us carried out, and, by amost ingen ious method applied to the top of the chimney, a large frying-pan, provided excellent beefsteaks and rashers of - bacon. The battallion cooking waggon was packed on each side of the boiler with 200 lb. of wood, which serves as a clothing, while the heat assists to dry the wood if green or wet, from the weather. This apparatus supplied 170 gallons of vegetable soup, and weighs lOcwt. 81b., and also supplies vegetables and meat, stewed, boiled, &c., in the usual manner. The hospital cooking wag gon contained 140 gallons, and cooked the rations of 500 men_ The weight of the last-named appa ratus is 13cwt. 1141 b. The additional weight is made up by the extra number of cooking vessels and other arrangements necessary for giving greater variety in the culinary requirements for hospital use. The results of this and other trials show that 150 lbs. of wood are sufficient to cook the three daily meals for 500 men, being an advantage over the old system, in which the Government allow ance was 31bs. of wood per man a day. After the dinners wore over the pontoons were formed into a raft, and their efficiency satisfactoriGenlyperraovb accom panied piece of water on the heath. The by Capt.

'' iie : 7sL ) A letter from Marseilles. says :—I \c s an ', - A to strike any one who may be arifttr.int4 s no matter how superficially, with the 'Work:7 ing of the Inscription Maritime, or system for manning the French navy, that. a mutual and pro portionate disarmament of the British and French navies would not leave the two countries in the same relative conditions for offence and defence. In any measure of this kind we have no right to sup pose that the French Government would act other wise than in the most perfect good faith; but disarmament would leave the French means for attack undiminished, and always available, while every sailor paid off in England would be lost to the service, and every ship laid up wouldbe useless. Disarmament in France means nothing more nor less than the formation of reserves, capable of being brought forward at any time ; it also means econo mising the cost of keeping men until they are wanted for actual service. It is almost needless to remind your readers that the whole of the maritime popu lation is registered, and liable to service on board men-of-war. The Inscription Maritime not only includes merchant seamen and fishermen, but like wise all naval artificers of every description. The system provides for supplying the State with the services of this section of the community, and it takes care that the services shall be valuable. The , men furnished by the conscription are draughted off every year into the fleet, where they are care fully instructed in gunnery and the duties of men of-wars-men. When this is done, and they are thoroughly efficient, they are returned back into the merchant service or other civil employment. By this means the maritime population is in reality an immense naval reserve maintained at no cost to the nation. So far, therefore, as the means for offence of France are concerned, it is a matter of no moment to what extent she dis arms, for her reserves are always maintained intact, and are constantly fed with fresh hands who have passed through the Imperial navy for instruction. Let us now see how the two systems work, and that, without necessarily imputing bad faith or hostile intentions to anyone. Wa will suppose Eng land to possess 50 liners afloat and France 40. Both countries agree to place out of commission 20 liners each, and to dismiss their crews, when the peace party would say the relative positions of the two fleets are maintained. IT 'der this arrange ment the English ships are laid up and their crews discharged, to join the merchant service, or to swell the ranks of the United States' navy. Once dismissed they are lost to the English service. The utmost that we could hope would be to be able to win back a fraction, perhaps a tenth, of the 20,000 blue jackets who have been entered and taught at such great expense to the nation. To get back this portion would necessitate the expenditure of large sums in the shape of bounties, and a delay of at least three months. Nor is this all. As our ships have heavy duties to perform, must be distributed over every sea, and are charged with the police of the ocean, they could not enter more boys or lands men than at present, except at the risk of impair ing the efficiency of the crews and jeopardising the safety of the ships. In France the 20 liners that would be put out of commis sion would he moore 1 in the harbours of Toulon, Brest, and Cherbourg. They would • have all their guns on board. Their masts and spars, rigging, and sails would be care fully ticketted and packed away in warehouses along the quays. The 20,000 seamen discharged would each have his place marked for him on board the ship he was told off to. lie is obliged to present himself at fixed periods to the authorities, and to state where and how he is employed, so that they may always be able to put their hands upon him when wanted. The French ships remaining in com mission, having little or no duties to perform, com pared with those of English ships, are in reality nautical schools. They may receive on board the regular quota of conscription every year, and also call in from the merchant service young seamen who have learned the peaceful portion of their profession, and keep them on board until they are well taught in gunnery, and made thorough men-of wars men, after which they will be discharged into the reserves. Now, let us suppose that three years hence war should appear imminent between the two countries, France, although paying for a peace esta blishment, will have been drilling her maritime population according to the regular increase and for a war footing. The 20,000 men will receive their feuilles de route, and notice to proceed by railway to the ports where their respective ships are laid up. Every man knows his station, and falls into it naturally and at once. The riggers, caulkers, car penters, and naval artificers, are likewise ordered to join, to fit out the ships ready for sea. The whole is done by a simple telegraphic order ; and it is no exaggeration to suppose that in a month the whole French fleet of 40 liners would cost to the nation, since no bounties it 4- reTtiVenttild naval artificers are paid considerably below the or dinary rate of wages. What, then, would be the position of the English fleet? True, there would be 30 liners in commission, but from them must be deducted ships on colonial stations—in China, West Indies, and North America--so that there would not muster more than 20 in the Mediterranean and Channel, or half as many as the French. To restore the original proportion, we should have to bring the 20 forward that were laid up in ordinary. But where are their crews ? There is the naval reserve formed by Sir James Graham, but that is not strong enough to man one-third of the ships in ordinary ; while, as they have not been kept together in crews, they would require to be three months at sea to shake down properly and be efficient. Nor is this all. During the period of peace referred to both nations would have been building and launch ing ships. France could commission hers at once, so far as crews were concerned, out of the reserves she had drilled and formed in her fleet on a peace footing. In England, to enter a man recourse must be had to the costly, dilatory, and cumbersome sys tem of bounties. Without being liable to the charge of being an alarmist, one may look forward, if the present state of things is allowed to continue under a disarmament, to witness at the outbreak of a war between England and France, should so dire a ca lamity ever occur, the English fleet being outnum bc-red by that of France, and in what we have hitherto been accustomed to consider English waters. FUNERAL OF . YE.H. We omitted to mention, in the summary of Can ton News, last mail, that Yeh's body arrived there on May 14, creating little or no sensation. The next morning a roomy long boat was sent for the case in which the coffin was secured, and 24 hours afterwards the boat was seen a little below the Cumfa Mew, on the Honam shore, with no other emblem of her burden than a white flag. It was supposed that the body would be carried to the cemetery near the North-East Gate. The Friend of China, in alluding to this subject, says :—" Yeh was only 53 years of age, and, by the course of na ture, should have seen many more days. But for the desire which he expressed—to see his native land again—we might almost be disposed to think that he took that which shortened the thread of life. Alas ! poor Yeh ! he had such an extraor dinary method of de aling w i th the truth th a t even the expression of his pining may h ave b een, as a ll his life was—a huge li e. Lingui s t s an d b oa t people in Canton appeared glad at hearing he was no more. : There will b e no ceremony over his removal, said one of the former class; the Emperor has taken away all his titles—he is no more than the commonest coolie of the streets.' So much for Yeh! Se ven h un d re d dollars, fromfreight for su c C h a Calcutta trteas result." a n A t onno,t Another r s a a cco g u o n o t d deal aays ni to o p n a e y y that when the remains were landed, they were placed in a temple in the eastern suburb, " where they remained undisturbed till the morning of May 2i, when, with th e ass i stance o f some E ngl i s h en gineers, and attended by a party of English police, the coffin was opened. The body was found to be in a fair state of preservation, though by no means sweet ;it was in a leaden co ffi n, which was enclosed in zinc, and that again secured in a strong teak casing. The Chinese coffin which was prepared for the body was of prodigious dimensions, being seven feet long, four broad, and two deep, and was handsomely decorated. The body was re-clothed in full uniform, including hat and boots, and was then placed, with six or eight silk-covered mat trasses of very handsome descriptions, into the Chinese coffin ; and a supply of various secular wants being placed therein for the use of the de ceased, the lid was fastened down, and the whole i s now left in charge of his domestics , pending an opportunity for transmission northwards. Much respect was shown by the numerous Chinese o ff icers (nearly every one of rank in the ne ighb ourhood of Canton) to the deceased , an d sorrow, either real or feigned, found vent, in more than one instance, in tears. The utmost order prevailed, and no ob jection was evinced to the presence of the - foreigners." —China Telegraph.
