To meet this expenditure the shareholders have paid tip ;£90,000 in deposits, which stand to the credit of the Owliany in the hands of the Accountant-General ; and, th convinced'of the profitable result of the undertaking, th ey are anxious to carry it out, and are prepared to make good rt a 9, r e ngagements on 47,500 shares, if the Great Northern iivrar and the public will aid them by subscribing for the names ng 47,500 shares, which are now registered in the a p,es. of contractors and others. fie directors of this Company regard with great interest enlarged views and philanthropic objects which Mr. tfarson enunciated when he orignally started this project ; athey subscribed their money to the Company as a corn- Vn ad undertaking with a view to profit. They believe that anaierous population, and the supply of its wants, are the tth7rsotuzfisurest foundations of railway prosperity ; and . when Let upon the enormous population of the . diatrict co _ which this line will pass, its productive capabilities in Nester- with the goods and passenger traf fi c of the Great and Great Northern Railways and their tributaries, :T 1 especially o f the Midland and the Manchester, Sheffield, andLin colnshire Companies, w hi c h h ave recent l y obtained ;T o % to the stati on at King ' s-cross, its contingent connec lin with the 3letropolitan Cattle Market and North London . and upon the fact that it cannot be subjected to corn tetition with-low-priced steamboats or with any new railway -'ll-11 nibuses the sam and cabse direc tio they b feel thatonly with this r ailroad willp i ow and exens inevite v _, - aalyprove the source of very la rge di v id ends to shareholders. various attempts have been made to reduce these large Sources of revenue to some definite financial result. These calculations, whether based upon the existing traffic by pub lic vehicles, or from the passengers which may be assumed from each station by each train, or upon the passenger traffic of the North Loudon, the Blackwell, and the London-bridge Station Railways, taken in connection w'tli the population along those lines, prove a receipt, after a liberal allowance for working expenses, sufficient to pay upwards of 10 per cent. 2n the outlay. But the impression is so general that the pro- - ets will be large, that there can be no necessity to repeat the cal culations. It is part of the arrangement with the Committee of Requi sitiosts that four "vacancies shall be made in the Board, to be fi ll ni ,„d,llp by the parties who may now take up the shares ," e red, and that all existing engagements with the Corn- Any are to be subject to revision by the Board when so re un It is der these circumstances that 17, 500 shares are offered 4 the shareholders of the Great Northern Railway Corn -12"3", and 30,000 t o th e pu bli c , u pon the terms and conditions specified in th e annexe d f orm o f a pplication, which has been Q e Pared by M r.

On Saturday her Majesty inaugurated the public opening of this institution, and consequently the bleak, inhospitable-looking moor on which the building has unfortunately been erected, wore, for the first time, such a busy aspect as was almost sufficient to give an air of animation even to a spot so desolate and cold. The precise locale of the new College is not very easy to describe beyond saying that it is situated near the valley of the Blackwat:r, apparently many miles from any village, though in reality about three from Sandhurst and four from Farnborough station. The country for a consider able extent round the building is of the same kind . of waste heath land as th a t on w hi c h th e camp at " Aldershott is situated, with the difference that the College land seems, of the two, even poorer and more barren. The selection of a spot so wild and cheerless is only attempted to be accounted for by the fact that the 12 acres of land on which the Col lege and its outbuildings stand were presented to the Wellington Memorial Fund gratuitously, though clogged with the condition that all the bricks used in the construction of the buildings should be obtained from the munificent donor's brickfields. This arrangement and the subsequent purchase by the governors of the College of 120 additional acres of moorland must have quite re paid the gentleman who so generously gave the the first 12 acres. It is now a matter of great though useless regret that the governors ever ac cepted such an offer, and were led to erect a national memorial on wound so utterly bleak and barren in appearance, and the means of access to which by rail are so circuitous that the journey occupies nearly two hours. What by no means tends to lessen the dissatisfaction with" which the site is regarded is the fact that, after the arrangement for accepting the 12 acres was entered into, a gentle man, both of whose sons had fallen in the Crimea, offered to convey to the Commissioners a small but beautifully situated estate on which to build the College in the neighbourhood of Windsor. This generous offer, however, came too late, and unfor tunately could not be accepted. The whole extent of ground belonging to the col lege is 132 acres. All the land not occupied by the buildings will, in course of time, be converted into a gymnasium, playground, shrubbery, parade, and a large artificial lake on the north side of the build ing intended to be upwards of 20 acres in extent, and in the formation of which, if we may judge from the aspect of the ground, the contractors will be wonderfully assisted by the efforts of nature. The college itself may be described as a handsome edifice, in the decorated Italian or mixed style. The whole building forms externally one large quad rangle, 260 feet long by 154 wide, the east and west sides of which are the wings or main portions of the whole. The cross buildings which complete the quadrangle at the top and bottom are the head master's and secretary's house on the north-east, the main entrance-hall on th e south-west end. The large courtyard which is thus encloSed inside these build ings is subdivided into two quadrangles by the intersection of the school for the ,junior boys. Such is the ground plan. The two main wings are, from their height and number of windows, especially imposing. They are faced with orange and purple bricks, in the style known among builders as gauge work, and alternating with courses of white ma sonry. The effect of all this is warm and cozy-look ing. Each wing is divided in the centre by a wide and lofty tower, 25 feet by 120 high. The view from the upper stories of these towers, where are placed the tanks which supply high-pressure fire mains on every floor and landing, is as extensive as could be desired. From the north side you overlook Wokingham and Windsor ; the latter distinctly visible though 12 miles distant. The south faces immediately on that part of Hampshire known as the Hartford-bridge Flats ; bat over the hills which bound it can be gained a view of an immense extent of country, from Bearwood on one side to Strath- fieldsaye upon the other. The towers, however, are not the principal entrances. These are situated in the centre of the cross buildings on the north-east and south-west ends, the chief one being through the latter, under a handsome clock tower dominating the entrance hall. From this point of view the ap pearance of the edifice is striking, and when entirely finished, and the niches which adorn the wings at either end are filled in with appropriate statues, the approach will be in every respect worthy of the college and the hero in whose honour it is reared. The internal subdivisions of the building maintain the favourable impression produced by the exterior. All the rooms without exception are spacious, lofty, well ventilated, and well placed; the play, school, dining, and domestic rooms being on the ground floor, and the dormitories and dwelling rooms exclu siiely confined to the upper portions. This, how ever, is all that can be said of them, for the fittings - are of the very roughest and even poorest descrip tion. The brickwalls are merely whitewashed over. The bedrooms, with their Stone floors, seem cold and This magnificent building is NOW OPEN to the public, for is Sit LE - of all kinds of USEFUL and FANCY ARTICLES. The Photographic Establishment, Aviary, Conservatory, General Refreshment Room, and Ladies' Private Refresh ment Room, with Retiring Room attached, are replete in their several departments.

With Practical Observations on the Cure of these Diseases, and on the extraordinary re storative power of LOCAL GALVANISM in Spermatorrhcea, Impotence, and Sterility, in which cases it is applied without pity or danger, and is frequently successful without the aid of medicine. BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, Registered Licentiate of the London Society of Apothecaries, Doctor of Medicine of the University of Erlangen, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society. &c. An erroneous impression exists that public announcements on these disorders emanate only from unqualified persons, but as the new Medical Act provides that none but registered practitioners shall assume any medical title, those that are legally qualified can readily be distinguished—a point of great importance in cases where secrecy, confidence, and skill are equally , requisite. In the new edition of ' Self-Preservation,' facts of para mount utility are brought together—facts appealing to the prudence of all who are suffering from affections which in volve the enfeeblement and ultimate loss of those powers without which man forfeits the dignity of nature, and sinks to the most pitiable depths of physical and moral degradation. In cases where the vital essences have been weakened by the influences of tropical climates, by pernicious habits, indiscri minate excesses, improper diet, hardship, or by iniudicious treatment, the means of cure adopted by the author, in con junction with the application of Local Galvanism, have gene rally been found successful, even iu cases where recovery had been pronounced impossible.

STAMPED, SP. meanly fitted, .and the whole interior more reminds the visitor of a barrack or cheap workhouse than a tolerably well- endowed college, an d one for the , . erection and maintenance of which the nation sub ' scribed nearly £170,000. The south entrance of the building leads at once to the great dining hall, a fineToom g 8 feet long by 28 wide, and 331 high, and from which-the visitor passes to the south or entrance halt quadrangle, round the fon'. sides of which is a cloistered arcade, 8 feet wide, intended to afford an open air prome . made to the students in bad_ weather. In the walls of this arcade aro placed 24 niches, reserved for the • busts of the more distinguished of our heroes who . have died in the service of their country, or who in future years may add additional lustre to the fame of English arms in the conduct of wars asyet un- thought of. Th e b asemen t r o oms round this quad rangle are kitchens-and domestic offices. The apart ments round the north, or schoolroom quadrangle, are the upper class rooms, play rooms, and library, with the head master's and secretary's rooms at the north entrance. The dormitories run the whole 'length of the east and west wings of the building, and are only divided by the central tower, which gives access to them on either side. Each boy has his own distinct sleeping room, Which is 11 feet long by eight wide, and 14 high, and the plan of the College is so contrived - that to every boy's room is -a large window looking out upon the heath. The towers which lead to these sleeping rooms are made useful as well as ornamental, and are partly used as the ventilating shafts for the dormitories, through which they keep a constant flow of pure air, while foul air shafts. provide for c cmtna ho a roiloe r it.n r ot eng y hnreio i oiet : ldstoi g haenosateg o noir ro, ff unNsityteoi t ihiidi h n.eo,t e ulheep. vitiated atmosphere frOm below.

As our - readers are aware, it is founded for the education of the orphan sons-of officers of . her Majesty's Army and Navy. The_ English Public in all parts of the world contributed to the foundation of this institu tion, for it was generally felt that no more appro priate monument could be raised to the memory' of the illustrious Nike than one which, exclusive of its external appearance and architectural merit, should serve the higher purpose of giving nearly a gratui tous education to the orphans of that profession of which he was himself the head and brightest orna ment. The total amount of subscriptions received, including interest on sums invested, and donations of £25,000 from the Patriotic Fund, and £3,000 from Sir J. Bailey,' M.P., was £159,000. Of this . sum £105,000 has been invested' on mortgage at £4 per cent., yielding -an annual income - of no less than £4,200- The lowest tender for the erection of .the College was barely under . X40;000, including thd principal fixtures and fittingi ; but, adding to this amount the sums for the purchase of the 120 acres,, for the erection ofa chapel and infirmary, boilersi and steam machinery, kitchen apparatus, and for , insuring an abundant supplyof pure water, and the total outlay will not probably bo less-than £545;000. The chapel, however, is postponed for the pre sent, and a temporary one has been fitted up in the south half of the upper east dormitory: About 70 boys are already in t.C.ollege, all of whom wear its uniforM—a simple but rather _Ger- Man half-military dress. The first 100 boys will be admitted on the following 'terms : VOUNDATIONERS (1. e., ORPHANS). First Class.--20 boys to pay £lO a year each, to be nominated by the governors ; 18 boys to pay £lO a year each, to be nominated by the Commissioners of the Patriotic Fund; three boys to pay £lO a year each,' to he - nominated by Sir J. Bailey, M.P: Second Class.--:20 boys to pay £l5 a year each, to be nominated by the governors. Third Class.-20 boys to pay £2O a year each, to be nominated by the governors. scribed. A inspeCting t Majesty was „Ale ISII. Prince Albert stood on the Cljecri's left, wearing the very plain uniform of a governor of the College. Princess Alice and Prince Arthur stood behind her Majesty on the right. • When all lad -taken- their place 3 Lord Derby advanced to the foot- of the' dais, and in ;:be 'rune of the governors read,the following address:—. " May it please your Majesty, • • - " We, your .Majesty's most dutiful subjects, the yice presidenraiid-kOvernors Of the Wellingten College, beg per mission to offer-to your Majesty the assurances of our heart felt loyalty and attachment, and of rho satisfaction and gratitude with which-we -hail your Majesty's presence on this occasion. " It is little more than six years since the first subscrip tions were' asked for towards the foundation of this noble institution, -in honour of the great man whosa name it bears. It is not yet three since your Majesty graciously conde scended to 'lay the first stone of the building. within the walls of which we are now assembled. - - - " During the whole progress of the undertaking we have thankfully to acknowledge the unceasing support with which we have been honoured by your Majesty and your illustrious Consort ;. and your Majesty's gracious attend ance upon th e formal inauguration this day or the infant institution constitutes a new claim upon our gratitude, in addition to the many favours which it has already pleased your Majesty to bestow upon it. ,"-We are the more grateful for this mark of your-Ma jesty's favour, inasmuch- as it has been awarded at a moment of deep personal anxiety, now happily dispelled by an event which has been hailed with heartfelt satisfaction by the whole body of your Majesty's subjects, and on which we trust we niay be permitted to offer to your Majesty our respectful and affectionate - congratulation. " We now beg leave humbly to submit for your Majeity's gracious approval and sanction the standing rules and regu lations by which, subject to such amendments-as it may-from time to time be found advisable to introduce, it is proposed that this College should be governed. We trust that it may speedily afford such evidence of its usefulness as may sub stantiate its claims to yet further liberality on the part of the public, and that the governors may thus be enabled to extend more widely than is in their power at present to those classes for whom it is especially intended the benefits of this noble charity. - " It would be too much to hope that it should ever boast .of one from among - its pupils -who might emulate thoOnie of the great warrior end Statesmu in jiose dtlhas beeli :erected ; but we may trust that by The blessitqt of Alinighty God upon its teaching it may : send forth many de:ply imbued, with the lofty principles which regulated his conduct;. and prepared, whatever may be their station in life, to follow the groat- example which he has left of 'un swerving loyalty Ahtahrone 2 of devotiontO his Country's service and of stric,t and unhesitating obedience to the tells of Public duty." Her Majesty bowed and accepted. the address, and received from 'Alr.:Walpole the reply, which she read in her clear musical voice, distinctly: audi ble in every part of the hall. The reply was as follow's : , "My LordS and Gentlemen,—l thank ruler yourioyal and dutiful address, and for your congratulations oWan. event for which, if anything had been wanting to domptete my joy and gratitude, it would have been found in the spen taneous expresgon which has been elicited of the Sympathy and affection of my people. "it giVes me sincere pleasure to inaugurate the formal opening of this admirable institution, of which I was glad on a former occasion, at your request, to-lay the ; fourida-. , Hon stone. " From that time t o this I have watched its progress_ with unceasing satisfaction. I have seen how difficulties iin separable from such an undertaking have been gradually overcome, and I hail with thankfulness the cenapletien,of a work (a nation's -tribute to the memory -9f - one of, her -.eatest meal) destined to furnish the - means of it . ieliF,ioUs, moral, and int e ll ec t ua l e dO cat i on of the beSt description-to the children of many deserving officers which they could not otherwise obtain. " In the students now before me I am glad 'to recognise the first-frilits .a this benevolent work ;and Ltrust they will, by their steady industry and honourable conduct, their-cheerful obedience to those who are set in authority over them, and their behaviour to each other, earn a cha racter for the College worthy of th e na me it b e a rs . ' " I pray that the Divine blessing may ever rest on 'this institution, and that it may lead all these who.may,be hefe educated to imitate, in their firm determination at'airtien'6B and on all' occasions - te'de their . thity that stb.fo.of life unto which it may Please God to call their, one of the chief characteristics of . the Duke of Wellington." The whole of the address and the first paragraph of the _reply were, we believe,. written .by Lord Derby. The rest of the reply was the 'joint pro •duction of an hon. and a right hon. gentleman, and. our readers may see for, themselves' that one more inelegant in its structure, or more vapid and com monplace in its"expression, was nevcr.put into the hands of . her Majesty. At . the conclusion of the address and reply, the Archbishop of Canterbury offered up a brief prayer for the Divine blessing on the. efforts of the College. Her Afajosty then signed the rules and statutes of the College, and with this act the ceremonial terminated. At the, conclusion of the proceedincrs her Majesty' add the. Royal family returned to the head master's apartments; where. lunch was served. The Earl of Derby, with the otiv.sr governors and distinguished visitors, also partook of a superb collation, which was served by. Messrs. Staples ' •of the Albion,. in their usual ad mirable style. Her Majesty and. the Royal family quitted the College shortly before two o'clock for Windsar. The railway arrangements, bath of the South- Eastern and South- Western, were excellent, and the Wellington College Station on the latter line is now opened for traffic. NON-FOUNDATIONERS. Fourth Class.-19 boys to pay £4O a year each, to be nominated by the governors. Boys not orphans, the sons of officers serving in the army, will be admitted in thi. class. The subjects of instruction given to the boys will .nclude what is usually undcr,tood by a good. Eng iish and classical education, with those branches of scientific knowledge which have a special applica tion to the arts, commerce, and industry of tho country, and the modern languages. The religious worship and teaching are, of course to be according to the doctrine and principles of the Church of England ; but attendance on such wor ship or teaching will not be required of boys whose guardians may object on the grounds of religious dissent. Thus, then, the annual income of the Co liege, in eluding the payments to be made by the 100 boys, will be £6,160, which is considered sufficient to pro vide a suitable staff of masters, and to cover all ex- penscs for 100 boys; as the funds of the College increase the boys admitted will be placed on the foundation, and the fourth class or non•foundation ers ultimately abolished. The ceremonial of Saturday, if such a brief .and formal proceeding may be so termed, took place in the Great Hall of the College, which, as it was only able to accommodate about one per cent. of those anxious to be present, caused tickets of ad mission to be sought after with peculiar eagerness. Nearly all the visitors, however, were from London, and came in special trains by the Sluth-gastern and South-Western Railways to the temporary station upon the latter line, a short distance from the College.' But short aS was this distance it was quite sufficient to enable all to appreciate the bleakness of the situation, for wind and drizzly rain were sweeping across the heath with vindictive keenness, and altogether the appear ance of things was as cheerless and unpromising as well as could be. The Great Hall in which the ceremony took place is a most unpretending. apart ment, with whitened brick walls and plain oak ceiling. A few flags, with wreaths of laurel, were placed between the windows, and a dais with crimson canopy erected at one end for the Queen. Beyond this no attempt was made at decoration, and the appearance of the room, therefore, was in every way paltry and unworthy the occasion. On each side of the dais were seats for the governors and distinguished visitors, while in front of it were placed forms for the boys of the College. Behind these sat the general visitors on 16 seats, from which, as none were raised,' only those favoured few who sat on the front one saw anything at all. It was intended, up to within a few days of the opening, that no representatives of the press should be allowed to be present,..and it is almost a matter of regret that such an arrangement was not adhered to, as it would certainly have been better than the plan pursued on Saturday of placing them in such a position as made it almost impossible for them to perform their duty. The plades all o tt e d t o the re porters were in a corner behind those of every other person in the room, and utterly out of sight of the very ceremonial they were expected to describe. FTOM these seats also when the places had been taken none could stir, so that w e are al most entirely in debted to the courtesy of some of the officials who saw her Majesty arrive, and wer e near h er on t h e dais, for our acco un t of 'what took place. The places in the Great Hall were occupied be fore 12 o'clock. Among those present were his Royal Highn ess the Duke of Cambridge, the Duk e and Duchess of _Welligton, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Earl and Countess of Derby and Lady Ennirt Stanley, Lord Cranworth, Lord Gough, Marquis of Salisbury, Earl of Ellenborousth Bishop of O x f or d , L ord John Russell, s Lady Hay ter, Right Hon. M r . Henley, Right Hon. S. Walpole, Mr. J. Walter, M.P., Sir J. W. Hogg, Sir F. Currie, th e Chaplain-General, &c. A little after half-past 12 her Majesty, accompanied by the Prince Consort, the Princess Alice, and Prince Arthur, and escorted by a detachment of the 2d Life Guards, 'arrived in a carriage-and-four from Windsor. In attendance Ni - ere the Countess of Desart, Hon. rsliFses Cathcart and Byng, Lsrds Crofton and Colville, the Hon. Col. Liddell, Hon. Col. Ponsonby and Major Elphinstone. A guard of honour, furnished by the Ist Staffordshire Militia, received the Royal party with the unial ceremonies. Upon alighting at the south front her Majesty was met by the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of Wellington, and the other governors of the College, with its head master, the Rev. E. iv . Benson, M.A. Thus attended, the Royal party at once proceeded to the junior schoolroom,_ where th e boys were still at their tasks, but where, neve r _ .theless, she was welcomed with such hearty cheers as only boys can give. From this her Majesty was shown through the various' class and school rooms; and through the dormitories W 44T0 Already de- THE NAVY. Her Majesty's steam sloop Virago, 6, Commander Montague B.

Pasley, Bart., struck his flag, on board the Royal William, 120, yesterday, on leave of absence. We have been requested to correct an inaccuracy in our statement, that " Rear-Admiral Sir Michael Seymour had been compelled to solicit being super seded in his command owing to his failing health." The Admiral was in excellent health when last heard of ; but having had, while on the coast of China, two attacks of fever, he has been advised not to pass a fourth summer in the East ; and he has, therefore, requested that he may be relieved punctually at the expiration of his command (the. appointment being ordinarily for three years), which will terminate on the 18th February next.
