The Italian Government has granted to this Company the definitive Concession for the Railway from Turin to Savona, with a branch to Acqui, by means of which branch the most direct access will be secured to the Mediterranean from the whole system of Italian Railways ; whilst the sea-coast line now being constructed from Nice to Genoa will complete the connexion with all the Railways of France. The leading features of the Concession are :-1. The use of the Government line from Turin to Carmagnola, 10 miles, subject to a toll of 10 per cent. of the gross receipts ; 2. A Government Subvention, or free gift, of 10,000.000 f. (£400,000) ; 3. A Communal Subvention of 2,000,000 f. (£80,000); 4. A Go vernment guarantee of a minimum receipt of £1,600 per mile per annum on the branch to Acqui. The distance from Turin to Savona is 00 miles • the length of the branch line to Acqui 30 miles ; total, 120 miles. Responsible contractors, from whom substantial guarantees will be taken, have engaged to execute the whale work, in cluding purchase of land, stations, rolling stock, and all in cidental expenses, together with payment of interest at 6 per cent. on the capital during construction, for the sum of £2,408,000, being at the rate of £20,000 per mile over the entire distance ; but - as the subventions of £480,000 will come in aid of this amount, the real cost of the Railway to the share holders is virtually reduced to £16,060 per mile. The population adjacent to the line amounts to 250 inhabi tants per kilometre, whilst the population of the seven Southern Departments traversed by the great line from Paris to the Mediterranean does not exceed 80 inhabitants per kilometre. The gross annual receipts on the Italian State Railways exceed £2,500 per mile per annum. The concurrent testi mony of the Government Commissions and the Chamber of Commerce of Savona shows that a traffic at the rate of £2,300 per mile may be confidently reckoned on this line from the commencement, and that the gross revenue may be expeoted rapidly to rise to £2,800 per mile per annum. Assuming a traffic of £2,300 per mile only, the gross annual receipts on 120 miles will be £276,000 ; from which deduct Working Expenses at 45 per cent. (which is above the Govern ment average) on 101 miles constructed by the Company, LU 7,640 ; Toll to the Government on 16 miles, £3,700 ; Rent of Station at .Turin, £6OO ' • Total, £111,940. Leaving a net profit of £164,060. Out of this amount there will be required for the payment of interest on the obligations at 6 per cent., £67,681 ; Sinking Fund for repayment of ditto, £5,640 ; Total, £73,320. Leaving £90,740 profit for the shareholders, equiva lent to a dividend of more than 10 per cent. During the construction of the line, interest at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum will be paid half-yearly on all instal ment from the date of the respective payments. One-half of the Share Capital having been taken in Italy, the remaining half, viz., 20,000 Shares, is now offered to the English Public. Prospectuses and Forms of Applications for Shares may be obtained on application to the London Directors at the Com pany's Offices, or to Mr. Lewis H. Haslewood, 7, Lothbury, London. No application will be entertainedif sent in after Saturday, the Bth inst. London, Feb. 1,1862. RUPTURES.—BY ROYAL LETTERS PATENT.

Previously, this week, the busi ness done was chiefly for the India trade,. but yesterday and to-day the inquiry has extended to descriptions of cloth suited to other markets, There is no change in prices, all departments showing great firmness. There is no other feature of im provement, and the tone of the market is dull, In the yarn market there has been rather more activity than on Tuesday, though there was an improvement then as compared with last week. Prices are a shade higher. The German and hcme trade houses have been the principal buyers. The Germans have shown a disposition to do a great deal of business where they could meet with yarns at moderate prices, but the complaint has been very general among them of their inability to meet with anything at the rates of Tuesday. They have shown a good deal of anxiety to lay hold of lots where they could be had at a fraction under this day's quotations, and would pay the rates quoted on Tuesday, having apparently acquired mote confidence in the stability of the high terms recently ruling, which it is gene rally believed now will be maintained for some time to come. So many mills have closed, however, that yarns are difficult to meet with at lower prices than the improved quotations to-day. There is more con fidence in the yarn market generally than for some weeks past. Mr. John Platt, the eminent machine maker at Oldham, stated at the Chamber of Cominerce yesterday that he did not believe there was as much distress in this part of the country as there had been in previous years of our history ; and this statement is in accordance with the opinions of most well-informed people here, and that expressed by the leading journals. It may be interesting to notice that, notwithstanding the opinion recently expressed by Mr. Roebuck, that the working men of this country did not avail themselves of the savings bank, the returns from those establish meats in this part of England show very favourably in this respect. In a classification of depositors issued by the Manchester Savings Bank it is stated that the number of cotton spinners, weavers, and their assistants who have accounts with the bank is 13,997 whose deposits average L 26 ; silk spinners, weavers, &c., 2,315, average deposits £3O ; mecha nics and handy craftsmen, 14,624, average deposits £2B ; other classes of workingspeople, such as ware housemen and porters, shoemakers, tailors, dyers, bleachers, packers, bricklayers, and labourers, printers, cabinet makers, joiners, railway guards and porters, gardeners, their labourers, &c., 18,191, wtth average deposits varying from £25 to £39; milliners, dressmakers, &c., 4,719, average deposits £23; domestic servants, 2,538 males and 22,159 females, average deposits, £2l ; friendly societies (mostly of working men), 754, with average deposits of £224 ; total 49,127, exclusive of domestic ser vants, and 23,326 minors not classified; gross total of all these classes 97,159 out of 172,390 persons having accounts with the savings bank. Tue total deposits amount to £1,306,329, of which the work ing classes hold a fair proportion, the highest average of any class being £39. 7'4 OF TRADE. --- TILE CIVIL SEI?VICE.

The heavy portion of these mails, in charge of Mr. U. Ronayne, of the General Post-office, reached Southampton yesterday afternoon in the Peninsular and Oriental Company's screw steamer Pera, Capt. T. Jamieson, which arrived in dock at 2 30 p.m. She left Alexandria on the 19th ult., Malta on the 22d, and Gibraltar on the 27th. On the homeward passage the Pera experienced light N.W. winds be tween Alexandria and Malta, and thence to Gibral tar light breezes and smooth water ; from Gibraltar to Cape St. Vincent's easterly Willi:Wind fine wea ther ; thence to Cape Finisterre light winds, with very heavy cross swell ; across the Bay of Biscay and up the Channel strong westerly gale and squally weather, with very heavy sea. The Pera brought 50 passengers, viz , 33 first class, 12 second, 4 children, and 1 deck, among whom were the Marquis of Worcester, Lieut.-Col. Mann, C. 8., RE., Major Jackson, Major Platt, Captain Brereton, Captain Daubeny, Lieutenant Cumming, Lieutenant Forbes, &c. On freight she had £1,287 10s. in specie, 1,420 bales of silk, 11 bales of flax, 314 chests of oranges, 1,300 sacks of wheat, 129 cases of indigo, and 214 packages of general mer chandise. Two French transports and a Russian corvette were in harbour at Alexandria. Her Majesty's ships at Malta on the 22d ult. were the Marlborough, Intrepid, Neptune, Medina, London, Wanderer, Trident, Surprise, Firefly, Boxer, atd Growler ; and the Amphion, Scylla, and Racoon were at Gibraltar on the 27th. The Confederate steamer Sumter was at Gibral tar when the Pera left. There are no accounts of the naval combat in the Mediterranean between two ships, of which the Sumter was supposed to be one, The vessel destroyed by the Sumter, in the interval between her leaving Cadiz and her first arrival at Gibraltar, was the American bark Neapolitan, Captain Burdett, with fruit for Boston, consigned to the agent of Baring Brothers. She was burnt about 18 miles to the eastward of the rock, and the master and crew (12 in number) taken to Gibraltar by the American bark Investigator, which arrived there on the 14th. The Investigator was laden with copper ore for Newport, the cargo being owned in England, and she was released by the captain of the Sumter on her captain giving a bond for 15,000 dols. A despatch of the 17th ult., from Cadiz, states that on the order to put to sea being communicated to the captain of the Sumter, he replied that it was materially impossible to obey for want of water and coal, and of money, which he was expecting from one moment to another, to purchase these two articles. The Military Governor of the fortress, not allowin; the validity of these reasons, granted him six hours to provide himself with what he needed and to quit the port. It appears from the official account of the ex penses of the Spanish war in Africa, which has just been made up, that the total expenses from the Ist of November, 1859, to the end of 1860, were 236,000,000r15. The value of provi sions and stores on hand was 24,000,000r15., leaving 212,000,000r15. as the net cost. The ratio of each soldier cost 3rls. 30c. The daily forage for each horse and mule Brls. 42c. The treatment of each patient in hospital cost 7rls. 39c. Forty-six steam transports consumed 42,000 tons of coal, being at the rate of 41 tons per diem for each steamer. The cost of the shoes and clothing expended has been made good, since the war, by the different corps of the army. 20,732 cartridges for cannon were ex pended, costing each 43r1s. 37c. ; also, 6,338,290 musket cartridges, costing each 36c. The total number of deaths in the army according to the offi cial returns was 7,020. In the Spanish Cortes on the 20th ult. Senor Salazar y Mazarredo inquired if the Government were disposed to discuss fully the diplomatic part of the African question ; and whether it would lay before the Chamber the instructions given in 1799 to Mr. Gonzalez Salmon, Spanish Consul at Tan gier, relative to the treaty of that date, and also copy of the agreement between the Governments of Morocco and England respecting the supply of cattle for the garrison at Gibraltar. The Minister of State, in reply, said that on the discussion of the Treatyof Commerce Government would be ready to give any explanations required ; that he would look over the instructions given for the treaty of 1799, and lay them, as well as all other papers on a subject which had now become matter of history, lbefore the house. A letter to the Clamor• Publico, from its correspon dent in the Canary Islands, describes the great deve lopment of trade in those islands since 18.52,when its principal ports were declared free. During the nine years that have since passed the imports and exports are said to be at least double their former amount.

She encountered very severe weather the passage out. The British merchant steamer Cairo, Captain J.

Foreign-office Jan. 31, 1862 My Lords,—ller Majesty being fully determined to ob serve the duties of neutrality during the existing hostilities between the United states and the States calling themselves the Confederate States of America, and being, moreover, resolved to prevent, as far as possible, the use of her Majes ty's harbours, ports, and coasts, and the waters within her Majesty's territorial jurisdiction, in aid of the warlike pur poses of either belligerent, has commanded me to commu nicate to your Lordships, for your guidance, the following rules, which are to be treated and enforced as her Majesty's Orders and Directions. Her Majesty is pleased further to command that these rules shall be put in force in the United Kingdom and in the Channel Islands on and after Thursday, the 6th Feb. next, and in her Majesty's territories and possessions beyond the seas, six days after the day when the Governor or other chief authority of each of such territori s or possessions re spectively shall have notified and published the same, stat ing in such notification that the said rules are to be obeyed by all persons within the same territories and possessions. L Daring the continuance of the present hostilities be tween the Government of the United States of North Ame rica, and the States calling themselves " the Confederate States of America," or until her Majesty shall otherwise order, no ship of war or privateer belonging to either of the belligerents sha ll be p ermitted to enter, or re o Islands, 1 a o o n f r d t i h s n ,. e exceptany Bahama °th b e by special port, roadstead, special leave of Islands, or in t m o hr aewaters u t htoeefnptahonrett Bahama Nassau, case of stress of weather. If any such vessel should enter any such port, roadstead, or waters, by special leave, or under stress of weather, the authorities of the place shall require her to put t*sea as soon as pos sible, without permitting her to take in any supplies, be yond what may be necessary for her immediate use. If, at the time when this order is first notified in the Ba hama Islands, there shall be any such vessel already within any port, roadstead, or waters of those Islands, the Lieutenant-Governor shall give notice to such vessel to depart, and shall require her to put to sea, within such time as he shall, under the circumstances, consider pro per and reasonable. If there shall then be ships of war or privateers belonging to both the said belligerents within the territorial jurisdiction of her Majesty, in or nea the same port, roadstead, or waters, the Lieutenant-Gover nor shall fix the order of time in which such vessels shall depart. No such vessel of either belligerent shall be per mitted to put to sea until after the expiration of at least twenty-four hours from the time when the last preceding vessel of the other belligerent (whether the same shall be a ship of war, or privateer, or merchant ship) which shall have left the same port, roadstead, or water, or waters ad jacent thereto, shall have passed beyond the territorial jurisdiction of her Majesty. 11. During the continuance of the present hostilities be tweets the Government of the United States of North America, and the States calling themselves " the Confede rate States of America," all ships of war and privateers of either belligerent are prohibited from making use of any port or roadstead in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, or in the Channel Islands, or in any of her Ma jesty's colonies or foreign possessions or dependencies, or of any waters subject to the territorial jurisdiction of the Bri tish Crown, as a station or place of resort for any warlike purpose, or for the purpose of obtaining any facilities of warlike equipment ; and no ship of war or privateer of either belligerent shall hereafter be permitted to sail out of or leave any port, roadstead, or waters, subject to British jurisdiction, from which any vessel of the other belligerent (whether the same shall be a ship of war, a privateer, or a merchant ship), shall have previously departed, until after the expiration of at least 24 hours from the departure of such last-mentioned vessel beyond the territorial jurisdic tion of her Majesty. 111. If any ship of war or privateer of either belligerent shall, after the time when this order shall be first notified and put in force in the United Kingdom and in the Channel Islands, and in the several colonies and foreign possessions and dependencies of her Majesty, respectively, enter any port, roadstead, or waters belonging to her Majesty, either in the United Kingdom, or in the Channel Islands, or in any of her Majesty's colonies or foreign possessions or de pendencies, such vessel shall be required to depart and to put to sea, within 24 hours after her entrance into such port, roadstead, or waters, except in case of stress of weather, or of requiring provisions or things necessary for the subsistence of her crew, or repairs ; in either of which cases, the authori ties of the port, or of the nearest port (as the case may be), shall require her to put to sea as soon as possible after the expiration of such period of 24 hours, without permitting her to take in supplies, beyond what may be necessary for her immediate use; and no such vessel, which may have been allowed to remain within British waters for the pur pose of repair, shall continue in any such port, roadstead, or waters, for a longer period than 24 hours after her neces sary repairs shall have been completed :—Provided, never theless, that in all cases, in which there shall be any ves sels (whether ships of war, privateers, or merchant ships) of both the said:belligerent parties in the same port, roadstead, or waters within the territorial jurisdiction of her Majesty, there shall be an interval of not less than twenty-four hours between the departure therefrom of any such vessel (whe ther a ship of war, a privateer, or a merchant ship), of the one belligerent, and the subsequent departure therefrom of any ship of war or privateer of the other belligerent ; and the times, hereby, limited for the departure of such ships of war and privateers respectively, shall always, in case of necessity, be extended, so far as may be requisite for giving effect to this proviso, but not further or otherwise. IV. No ship of war or privateer of either belligerent shall hereafter be permitted, while in any port, roadstead, or waters subject to the territorial jurisdiction of her Ma jesty to take in any supplies, except provisions and such other things as may be requisite for the subsistence of her crew ; and except so much coal only as may be sufficient to carry such vessel to the nearest port of her own country, or to some nearer destination ; and no coal shall be again sup plied to any such ship of war or privateer, in the same or any other port, roadstead, or waters subject to the territorial jurisdiction of her Majesty, without s p ec i a l per mission, until after the expiration of three months from the time when such coal may.have been last suppli e d t o her within British waters as aforesaid.— I have, &c.

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. PICIEFORD. " Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other squally 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 dilated 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. Field ord ; but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."— Dublin Medical Press.

By Dr. LA'illEnT, 37, Bedford-square, London. Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh; Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, Ste. The above work contains most useful and interesting information on the physiological changes which occur in the Reproductive System during - the periods of youth, puberty, and manhood ; and on the due attainment of that degree of functional vigour upon which the hopes of posterity dapend. It also points out how all the attributes of Man hood can be preserved to an advanced period of life, how they ara lest, and how they can be recovered. It is free from the gross exaggerations, alarming descriptions, and dangerous reen?,dies so generally resorted to by persons, who, prac tising with false medical qualifications, inflict most serious injuries, and render judicious treatment frequently abortive. The - Author is the only legally qualified practitioner whose name stands on the Medical Register (the only true test of medical qualification), who has been exclu sively engaged for a series of years in the treatment of the vision; functional disorders of the nervous and reproductive system, which, owing to the f,reat discoveries of modern sc ience, are rendered subservient to a ratimal, simple, and easy mode of treatment. At home for consultation daily from 10 till 2, and from _6 till 8, either personally or by letter.-37, Bedford -square, TILE NAVY, Yesterday Vice-Admiral W. Hope Johnstone, Commander-in-Chief at the Nore, paid an official visit to the training ship Wellesley, 72, at Chatham. ayvoF T nnaa he A a various othuaa Baw d : twd m e htt a fier l erra arrived r ts vlenate alterations Wellesley, superintendent off wr t .h official wmhcoi Master-Commander where o art c anheb k vdeue y ehs ar dri eno recently eske i . s dockyard, Brockman,wnat rti h ldty e h s e te a steam m inspected wb been e h n n e t effected to adapt the vessel as a training ship. The Wellesley has been fitted up to accommodate 250 boys and the usual complement of officers. The whole of the main deck has been converted into a spacious drill-room. At present there are only 120 lads on board, but 100 more will arrive in a few days from the other naval ports. Admiral John stone, on leaving the Wellesley, complimented Capt. Studdert, the commander, on the excellent arrange ments and discipline maintained on board. Rear-Admiral James John Stopford, who was selected by the Admiralty as successor to Rear • Admiral Sir James Hope, K.C.8., as Commander in-Chief on the East India and China station, - has, we understand, had his appointment cancelled at his own request. Several other officers have been named as likely to succeed Sir James Hope, but we believe nothing is definitively settled.: The Defence, 18, will receive on board about 600 tons of coal before leaving the Medway, to enable her to steam round to Portsmouth. She will leave Folly Point in the early part of next week, and drop down to the Nore, where she will swing to ad just compasses. Most of the work remaining to be done on board will be completed to-day. The screw corvette Rattlesnake, 21, 1,705 tons, 400 horse power, recently built and fitted at Chatham, will be completed by the dockyard autho rities today, when the whole of the workmen, with the exception of a few hands required for any minor alterations, will leave her, the shipwrights employed on her being required for the armour plated frigate Royal Oak, 91, five additional gangs having been ordered to join that vessel on Monday, to hasten forward her completion. The Rattlesnake is an exceedingly fine screw steamer, and by her completion another valuable addition hasbeen made to our large squadron of screw corvettes,and another powerful war steamer placed at the disposal of the Admiralty, fully equipped and armed, and ready for service in any part of the world. The destination of the Rattlesnake is not yet known, but it is probable she will be sent round to Portsmouth, where she will either hoist the pennant or be attached to the first class steam reserve. The expeditious manner in which she has been brought forward, rigged, and fully equipped for sea reflects considerable credit on the dockyard officials, six months having scarcely passed since the order was received from the Admi ralty for her to be fitted. The Rosario, 11, screw steam sloop, 150 horse power, Master W. L. Southey, having been again tried at . the measured mile off Maplin Sands yester day, was inspected by Capt. Wise, superintendent of her Majesty's dockyard at Sheerness, and the officers of the steam reserve. The Fly, screw gunboat, 60 horse power, Lie at. and Commander Wm. Vickery, tender to the Corn wallis, 60, screw steamvessel, Capt. Sidney Gren - fell, Coastguard service in the Humber, has been taken into the basin at Sheerness, where she will be put out of commission, before undergoing extensive repairs. The Fly has been in active service during the last six years. The Lively, screw gunvessel, .60 horse power, which has had her engines converted from high pressure to condensing, and fitted with new pumps,, had her engines tried on Thursday at the measured mile off Maplin Sands, when she obtained a mean speed of 71 knots per hour, the trial being of the most satisfactory character. The Lords of the Admiralty contemplate erect ing two additional forts near Sheerness, to be mounted with Armstrong guns of the largest calibre, for the better protection of the estuary of the Thames and the Medway. One of the forts is to be built near Cheney Rock, at a distance of about one mile to the north-east of Sheerness, and the other near Queensborough-green, at a similar distance to the north-west of Sheerness. The forts are to be con nected by means of a ditch and rampart, two miles in length, which will be the distance between the forts. Yesterday a party of surveyors and land valuers inspected the locality on the part of the Government, for the 'purpose of ascertaining the nature and value of the land which will be required, and with the view of facilitating its purchase as early as possible. Her Majesty's paddlewheel steamship Scourge, Commander the Hon. W. I. Ward, yesterday went into the inner basin at Woolwich, and discharged the cases of antiquities from Candia, which were con veyed in charge of officers of the British Museum to London. Commodore Sir F. Nicolson inspected the ship. The steam transports Brunette, laden with 450 tons of war stores for Bermuda, and the Wisbech, with a heavy cargo for Halifax, have sailed from Woolwich to adjust compasses at Greenhithe. The dockyard authorities at Pembroke have re ceived orders from the Admiralty to proce€d with the utmost despatch in the construction of the Triumph iron-cased screw frigate, 51 guns ; and in consequence a large body of workmen have been placed upon her. She was originally intended for a 91-gun liner of 800 horse power, but will now, like the Royal Oak and Bulwark, be fitted with armour plates, and carry an armament of the heaviest metal. The staging to be used in the erection of the large target of Shoeburyness, for the purpose of trying the Armstrong shot and shell against a new descrip tion of iron armour plates, the invention of Mr. Scott Russell, having been completed at Chatham dock yard by a number of hired shipwrights entered for that purpose, was yesterday shipped on board one of the Government lighters for removal to Shoe buryness. A portion of the iron armour plates to be tested was at the same time despatched from the dockyard. The superiority claimed by Mr. Scott Russell for his armour plates consists chiefly in their being attached either to the target or the vessel's side without bolts, thereby materially adding to the strength of the planking which they cover. They are hung vertically, and not horizontally, as is the case with those which will protect the sides of the Royal Oak, Royal Alfred, and the other armour plated frigates, each plate being affixed to the ship by a peculiar formation of the edges, obviating all necessity for ,bolts.
