Irving as a man and as a pastor is not only fully sketched, but exhibited with many bro a d , powerful, and life-like touches, which leave a strong impression." Hurst and Blackett, 13, Great Marlborough -street. cences of that celebrated academy. At present the West Point officers ate somewhat out of &tont both with the President and the public; and the professional jealousies whieh kept such thorough soldiers as Generals Banks, Sigel, and others from the positions to which their natural aptitude and undoubted zeal and patriotism entitled them to aspire, are not likely for the future to stand in the way of military merit which was not fortunate enough to be first developed in that ambitious little nursery of warlike brothers. Both Buell and Bragg have fallen under the displeasure of their respective Governments; but Bragg, if he did not achieve all that was expected of him in Kentucky, ought at all events to receive from the Confederate press and public the praise of having out-manoeuvred Buell, of having withdrawn safely into Tennessee with an immense stock of greatly-needed stores and provi sions, filling it is said 4,700 waggons, and of being furthermore in a position whence the capture of Nashville is so easy as to be all but certain. The officious governors who recently met at Altoona are again it appears bestirring themselves to perplex, if not to overawe, the President, and are to reassemble at Washington within a few days. It is asserted that they have used their influence to secure the removal of M'Clellan and of Buell ; that their success in the one case has emboldened them to presevere in the other ; that it was they who im pelled or compelled the President to order the ad vance of the army of the Potomac; that they object to call the Southern army belligerents, to exchange prisoners with them, or to look upon them in any other light than as traitors, rebels, and murderers —just as they consider Captain Semmes, of the Alabama, and all the other naval officers and men in the Confederate service to be pirates and outlaws ; that they desire the prosecution of the war to the last extremity of extermination, if need be ; and that they call upon the President to supersede his proclamation of negro freedom on conditions by a new proclamation of immediate freedom without conditions, except compensation to loyal owners. If such be their aims and objects, Mr. Jefferson Davis and the Southern people ought to be very much obliged to them. They are as good as an army to the Confederate cause. They disgust the great bulk of the Northern people. They force the popular mind to consider the probabilities of peace, and to debate seriously the question which it has hitherto refused to entertain, whether the loss of the unwilling South would be a calamity half so great and so deplorable as the loss of Northern liberty, and the establishment of a despotism under the guidance of such sanguinary doctrinaires and philosophists as these. The part taken by the clergy in the war has been marked and decided both in the North and the South. In the North, while the Episcopalians have been neutral, the Presbyterian, the Puritanic, and even the Unitarian pastors have been aggressive, violent, unreasonable, and vindictive, If the solu tion of the difficulty could have been left to their hands, and they had the means to convert their bloodthirsty theories into facts, the extermination of the Southern people would long ago have been attempted. They have evinced the true spirit of persecutors, and some of them in this city have manifested as little reluctance to the use of the stake and the gibbet against the friends of the South as inquisitors in Spain would have exhibited against heretics. In the South the clergy have been less violent and more charitable, with the single exception of the renegade Parson Brownlow. The Episcopalians have prayed for the President of the Confederate instead of the United States, and in New Orleans and Nashville, and other places tem porarily occupied by Federal armies, where they have not been permitted to offer up prayers for Mr. Jefferson Davis, they have refrained from substi tuting the name of any other magistrate. This course of proceeding has in many instances led to the clos ing of their churches, and in Nashville to the im prisonment of several of the most zealous cleygymen by order of Governor Johnson. In New Orleans, with such a man as Butler to deal with, the preachers have been unusually cautious ; but hitherto that redoubtable General, foiled, or at all events, damaged in reputation by his attack upon the ladies, has been chary of meddling with the church or the chapel. But the rigour of his rule has been contagious among his subordinates, and the little Jacks in Office have taken pride in imitating the insolence of their master. A recent letter from New Orleans narrates a curious instance of military tyranny which has occurred in that city. On Sunday, the 12th inst., a person in civilian costume entered the church of St. Paul, nearly opposite to the head-quarters ofthe General, and took his seat among the congregation. The ser v i ce proceeded in the usual way, until the preacher c Ime to that portion of the ritual when prayer should have been offered up for the chief magistrate. Substituting no other name for that of the President of the United States, he simply omitted the passage, and was proceeding to the next, when the stranger rose up, and with a loud voice exclaimed, " Hold on !" Amid the flutter of excite ment caused among the congregation by the inter ruption, he proceeded to say that he had attended church with the expectation of hearing the service read without mutilation, that he had been disap pointed, that he was a major in the army of the United States, and that he felt it to be his duty to close the church immediately, and keep it closed nutil a " Christian" minister could be obtained to officiate in lieu of the person who had just nese crated the sanctuary. The major, therefore, ordered the people to " clear out, " and being obedient, as Americans always are, they "cleared out" accordingly. It does not appear whether General Butler approved or disapproved the proceeding ; but if the church remains closed it must be supposed that he has sustained the action of his subordinate. It is not imperative in the North or West that a clergyman should pray for the President, or that he should pray at all, if he have any objection to do so; but in the dominions of Butler the case appears to be different. The alliance of Church and State, repudiated all over America, is enforced in these unhappy regions by the sword; and Butler, like the Pope at Rome, or the Czar at Moscow, is not t qnly the temporal but the spiritual ruler, and claims as much right to re gulate men's prayers as to clean the streets, fee run away negroes, or hang " traitors" who pull down his flag. The reporter of the occurrence states that " after the doors were closed the major left, and the congregation dispersed one after the other in any mood but one consistent with the Sabbath day," and perhaps, as he might have added, without any increase of loyalty and good feeling towards the Northern Government that could authorise or per mit such an outrage. aUILDHALL, 16th October, 1862.—The COM MITTEE for LETTING the CITY'S LANDS will MEET at GUILDIIALL, on WEDNESDAY, the 12th No vember next, at One o'clock precisely, to receive PRO , POSALS for a BUILDING LEASE for eighty, years of PIECE of GROUND on the North Side of Queenhithe Dock, in the City of London.

(Prom eke Times' Urrespondent.) NEW YORK, OCT. 28. " Hope springs eternal in the breast" of Ameri cans. The Republic " never is, but always to be, blest" and victorious. Though M'Clellan's army is well known to be in no condition to make an ad vance; though his Men complain loudly of the want of the eommon necessaries of life ; though their pay is several months in arrear ; though the veterans who have gone with him through all his bloody and bootless battles are beginning to desert, to re-enlist at distant places for the sake of the bounty money, to desert afterwards perhaps for the second time ; and though the new volunteers remain in the dis tricts where they were recruited because the Go vernment has neither blankets nor rifles to distri bute among them, the public is daily amused with anticuncements that the army . of the Potomac is to march immediately against the toe and " crush the rebellion" in one final and magnificent victory. Yes terday the semi-official announcement was made from Washington in all the papers that the army and navy would not much longer remain inactive, but would commence a plan of operations promis ing the accomplishment of the most important re sults, the preparations for which were so nearly completed, and were on such a scale of grandeur " as to preclude even the probability of failure." Popular credulity is inexhaustible on this conti nent. The crime of despairing of the Republic is not acclimated. The people are quiet, patient, and enduring beyond any other people on the earth, and are content to wait with their eyes shut and their mouths open for the rewards which worthy Mr. Lincoln is preparing to drop between their teeth. If they taste the sweets they will be very much pleased, and if they get nothing they will not be greatly disappointed. They have not much heart in the business either way. They have been fed upon vain promises too long to be very enthusiastic about anything except a real, in dubitable, and proved success, of which the whole course of the war has as yet afforded but one ex ample—the capture of New Orleans. Political preachers like the Rev. Dr. Cheever may exclaim from their pulpits, "In the name of God, let us fight to the day of doom for the abolition of slavery ; let our own generation go down to the grave fight ing !" but the public does not respond to such fervid insanity, and, with the instincts of a commercial nation, begins to count the cost and the advantage, and to long for the time when the army or the navy shall gain such a victory as may enable the Federal Government to retire from the struggle with the credit of magnanimity and some of the honours of success. To-day the public are informed that the army of the Potomac has actually made an advance along its whole line in the direction of Winchester. Rumours were yesterday circulated that General Lee had vacated that position and retired to Gor donsville, where he intended to await attack ; but it is quite impossible to ascertain the truth of the report. M'Clellan's advance is positive, but the retreat of the Confederates and the evacuation of the Shenandoah valley are not generally accredited. Bat one thing is certain,—whatever may be the military reasons for this show of activity, real or assumed, it will occupy the public mind till the eh ctions on Tuesday next, and please the impatient Republicans, who are always crying out for ener getic measures, and who imagine that M'Clellan has only to throw himself upon the Confederate army at Winchester or elsewhere to annihilate it at a blow. HA the army gone into winter quarters, as many believe it ought to have done, considering all the circumstances, there is no knowing how many dis gusted Republicans and Abolitionists would have refrained from voting or gone over to the Demo cratic side. But this movement keeps them in good humour, and secures their votes to their party. This may not be the sole reason of M'Clellan's " strategy" in this instance, but it is scarcely pos sible to avoid believing that it has had some in fluence on a movement which few suppose he has made without official prompting. The naval operations which, like the military movements promised in the mysterious official paragraph from Washington, are to be on such, a scale as to preclude the probability of failure are understood to refer to a renewrl of the expedi tions to clear the river Mississippi which were de feated during the summer by the successful resis tance of the city of Vicksburg. Gen. Butler has hard work to feed the daily increasing hordes of negro paupers in New Orleans, together with a starving population, without trade or commerce, to say nothing of the wants of his own army of occu pation ; and the Government naturally feels that the work is both harder and more expensive than it would be as long as flour and other provisions sell at New Orleans for double and treble the price at which they are to be obtained at St. Louie. They are therefore anxious that the produce of the West should freely pass down that great artery to the famishing city. In addition to this great economic consideration it is not creditable to Federal prowess and ingenuity that the one great "snag"of Vicksburg should continue to block the whole commerce of the West. An immediate attempt will consequently be DWIN'S NOTICE. " AFRICAN HUNTING," w n it e ll xt l: . My Beautiful Illustrations, will be ready on Monday Richard Bentley, New Burlington-street. NOTICE.

And here the question presents itself,—Are Ad miral Porter and his captains to confine their opera tions to this single achievement, or are they to pro- claim freedom to the slaves as their gunboats make their way up the Yazoo, the Red River, and the distribut e th e P res id ent ' s Proclamation a and make k nown to a ll t h e plantations the promise other streams of the cotton r e gions? Arse theythe y g t o o , to the black and the threat to the white race held nut for th e I st of January ? Already the slaves in Louisiana have been excited to revolt, and in one plantation the negroes have murdered the overseer, have escaped in a body to the number of 150, either to take to the swamp and be a terror to the sur rounding country, or to find a refuge under the protecting gis of General Butler. The policy of piercing the rivers with Federal gunboats on this particular mission is loudly advocated by the Aboli tionist press and pulpit. If attempted before the Ist of January it will not only be an infamy in itself, but a breach of faith on the part of the Pre sident; whereas, if only attempted after th at d a t e liberationdtheoerfalint GheeaonvNselrinaseistiseisnti re sit3podiio the infamy w i ll not be aggravated by t reac h ery .

The applications for exemption have within the last few days been exceedingly heavy. Many thousands of persons above the age of 45 have been inscribed on the list ; and it is computed that fully 30,000 Irishmen and Germans who have never taken out letters of naturalisation are ready and intend to prove their non liability. The cities of New York and Brooklyn, n otwithstanding the libe rality of the richer citizens in addi )g to the bounty money promised by the Federal and the State Go vernments, are still deficient, it appears, in nearly 10,000 men. The bounty having failed to attract the requisite number, the conscription is inevitable. What prices the young and wealthy merchants, bankers, and professional men, upon whom the lot falls, will pay for substitutes remains to be seen but they are. likely to be high. In some parts of the country as much as 3 ,000 dole. (£600) has been paid, together with a Weekly prevision for the wi .fe and family of the substitute as long as the war lasts.

Should it fall upon a large percentage of poor men, it is not quite so cer tain that ultimate trouble will come out of it. The removal of the quotations of gold from the official lists has not had the effect anticipated by Mr. Chase and the bankers and brokers who yielded to his suggestions in the matter. Gold maintained itself yesterday at a premium of 311 per cent., and silver at 251, both manifesting a tendency to rise. MR. EMERSON ON PRESIDENT LIN COLN'S PROCLAMATION. Ralph Waldo Emerson coutributes to the Novem ber number of the Atlantic Monthly the following masterly review of the President's proclamation of emancipation, its purpose, and its probable effect: "In so many arid forms which states encrust themselves with, once in a century, if so often, a poetic act and record occur. These are the jets of thought into affairs when, roused by danger or in spired by genius, the political leaders of the day break the else insurmountable routine of class and local legislation and take a step forward in the direction of catholic and universal interests. Every step in the history of political liberty is a sally of the human mind into the untried future, and has the interest of genius, and is fruitful in heroic anecdotes. Liberty is a slow fruit. It comes, like religion, for short periods, and in rare conditions, as if awaiting a culture of the race which shall make it organic and permanent. Such moments of expansion in modern history were the Confession of Augsburg, the plantation of America, the English Common wealth of 1646, the Declaration of American Inde pendence in 1776, the British Emancipation of slaves in the West Indies, the passage of the Re form Bill, the repeal of the corn-laws, the magnetic ocean telegraph, though yet imperfect, the passage of the Homestead Bill in the last Congress, and now, eminently, President Lincoln's proclamation on the 22d of September. These are acts of great scope, working on a long future, and ou permanent interests, and honouring alike those who initiate and those who receive them. These measures provoke no noisy joy, but are received into a sympathy so deep as to apprise us that mankind are greater and better than we know. At such times it appears as if a new public were created to greet the new event. It is as when an orator, having ended the compliments and plea santries with which he conciliated attention, and having run over the superficial fitness and commo dities of the measure he urges, suddenly, lending himself to some happy inspiration, announces with vibrating voice the grand human principles involved —the bravoes and wits who greeted him loudly thus far are surprised and overawed ; a new audi ence is now found in the heart of the assembly—an audience hitherto passive and unconcerned, now at last so searched and kindled that they come for ward every one a representative of mankind, stand ing for all nationalities. The extreme moderation with which the President advanced to his design— his long-avowed expectant policy, as if he chose to be strictly the executive of the best public senti ment of the country, waiting only till it should be unmistakably pronounced —so fair a mind that none ever listened so patiently to such extreme varieties of opinion —so reticent that his decision has taken all parties by surprise, whilst yet it is the just sequel of his prior acts—the firm tone in which he announces it, without inflammation or surplusage —all these have bespoken such favour to the act, that great as the popularity of the President has been, we are beginnin to think that we have under estimated the capacity and virtue which the Divine Providence has made an instrument of benefit so vast. He has been permitted to do more for Ame rica than any other American man. He is well en titled to the most indulgent construction. Forget all that we thought shortcomings, every mistake, every delay. In the extreme embarrassments of his part, call these endurance, wisdom, magnanimity, illu minated, as they now are, by this dazzling success. When we consider the immense opposition that has been neutralised or converted by the progress of the war (for it is not long since the President anti cipated the resignation of a large number of officers in the army, and the secession of three states on the promulgation of this policy)--when we see how the great stake which foreign nations hold in our affairs has recently brought every European power as a client into this court, and it became every day more apparent what gigantic and what remote interests were to be affected by the decision of the President —one can hardly say the deliberation was too long. Against all timorous counsels he had the courage to seize the moment; and such was his position, and such the felicity attending the action, that he has replaced government in the good graces of mankind. Better is virtue in the sovereign than plenty in the season,' say the Chinese. 'Tis wonderful what power is, and how ill it is used, and how its ill use makes life mean, and the sunshine dark, Life in America had lost much of its attraction in the later years. The virtues of a good magistrate undo a world of mischief, and, because nature works with rectitude, seem vastly more potent than the acts of bad governors, which are ever tempered by the good nature of the people, and the incessant resistance which fraud and violence encounter, The acts of good governors work at a geometrical ratio, as one midsummer day seems to repair the damage of a year of war. A day which most of us dared not hope to see, an event worth the dreadful war, worth its costs and uncertainties, seems now to be close before us. October, November, December, will have passed over our beating hearts and plot ting brains; then the hour will strike, and all men of African descent who have faculty enough to find their way to our lines are assured of the protection of the American law. It is by no means necessary that this measure should be suddenly marked by any signal results on the negroes or on the rebel masters. The force of the act is that it commits the country to this justice—that it compels the innu merable officers, civil, military, and naval, of the republic to range themselves on the line of this equity. It draws the fashion to this side. It is not a measure that admits of being taken back. Done, it cannot be undone by a new administration. For slavery overpowers the disgust of the moral sentiment only through immemorial usage. It can not be introduced as an improvement of the 19th century. This aet makes that the lives of our heroes have not been sacrificed in vain. It makes a vic tory of our defeats. Our hurts are healed ; the health of the nation is repaired. WWI a victory like this we can stand many disasters. It does not promise the redemption of the black race—that lies not with us—but it relieves it of our opposition. The President by this act has paroled all the slaves in America—they will no more fight against us — and it relieve s our race once f or a ll o f i ts c rime false positi on .

We confide that Mr. Lincoln p • Is in ear nest, and, as he has been slow in wa ki ng : up his /2 PRICE..... —.Ad' 'A3WED mind, has resisted the importunacy of parties and of events to the latest moment, he will be as abso lute in his adhesion. Not only will he repeat and follow up his stroke, but the nation will add its irresistible strength. If the ruler has duties, so has the citizen. In times like these, when the nation is imperilled, what man can, without shame, receive good news from day to day without giving good news of himself ? Wnat right has any one to read in the journals tidings of victories, if be has no .. bought them by his own valour, treasure, personal sacrifice, or by service as good in his own depart ment. With this blot removed from our national honour, this heavy load lifted off the national heart, we shall not fear henceforward to show our faces among mankind. We shall cease to be hypocrites and pretenders, but what we have styled our free institutions will be such. In the light of this event, the public distress begins to be removed. What if the brokers' quotations show our stocks discredited, and the gold dollar costs one hundred and twenty-seven cents ? These tables are falla cious; Every acre in the free states gained sub stantial value on the 22d of September. The cause of disunion and war has been reached, and begun to be removed. Every man's house, lot and garden, are relieved of the malaria which the purest winds and the strongest sunshine could not penetrate and purge. The territory of the Union shines to-day with a lustre which every European emigrant can discern from far ; a sign of inmost seprity and parr manence. Is it feared that taxes will dbeck immt gration ? That depends on what the taxes are Spent for. If they go to fill up this yawning Dismal Swamp, which engulphed armies and populaLions, and created plague and neutralised hitherto all the vast capabilities of this continent—then this taxa tion, which makes the land wholesome and habi table, and will draw all men unto it, is the best in vestment in which the property holder ever lodged his earnings. Whilst we have pointed out the oppor tuneness of the proclamation, it remains to be said that the President had no choice. He might look wistfully for what variety of courses lay open to him; every line but one was closed up with fire. This one, too, bristled with danger, but through it was the sole safety. The measure he has adopted was im perative. It is wonderful to see the unseasonable senility of what is called the peace party, through all its masks, blinding their eyes to the main features of the war, namely, its inevitableness. The war existed long tefore ( the cannonade of Suhiter, and could not be postponed. It might have begun otherwise or elsewhere, but war was in the minds and bones of the combatants, it was written on the iron leaf, and you might as easily dodge gravita tion. If we had consented to a peaceable secession of the rebels, the divided sentiment of the border states made peaceable secession impossible, the in satiable temper of the South made it impossible, and the slaves on the border, wherever it might be, were an incessant fuel to rekindle the fire. Give the Confederacy New Orleans, Charleston, and Richmond, and• they would have demanded St. Louis and Baltimore. Give them these, and they would have insisted on Washington. Give them Washington, and they would have assumed the army and navy, and, through these, Philadelphia, New York, and Boston. It looks as if the battle field would have been at least as large in that event as it is now. The war was formidable, but could not be avoided. The war was and is an immense mis chief, but brought with it the immense benefit of drawing a line, and rallying 'the free states to fix it impassably—preventing the whole force of Southern connection and influence throughout the North from distracting every city with endlegs,con fusion , detaching that force and reducing it to hand fuls, and, in progress of hostilities, disinfecting us of our habitual proclivity, through the affection of trade and the traditions of the democratic party to follow Southern leading. These necessities which have dictated the conduct of the Federal Governmen are overlooked, especially by our foreign critics. The popular statement of the opponents of the war abroad is the impossibility of our success. If you could add,' say they, to your strength the whole army of England, of France, and of Austria, you could not coerce 8,000,000 of people to come under this government against their will.' This is an odd thing for an Englishman, a Frenchman, or an Aus trian to say, who remembers the Europe of the last 70 years,—the condition of Italy, until 1859—0 f Poland, since 1793—0 f France, of French Algiers —l of British Ireland and British India. But granting the truth, rightly read, of the historical aphorism, that the people always conquer,' it is to be noted that, in Southern states, the the tenure of land and the local laws, with slavery, give the social system not a democratic, but an aristocratic complexion; and those states have shown every year a more hostile and aggressive temper, until the instinct of self-preservation forced us into the war. And the aim of the war on our part is indicated by the aim of the President's proclamation, namely, to break up the false combination of Southern society, to destroy the piratic feature in it which makes it our enemy only as it is the enemy of the human race, and so allow its reconstruction on a just and health ful basis. Then new affinities will act, the old re- pulsions will cease, and the cause of war being re moved, nature and trade may be trusted to establish a lasting peace. Wethink we cannot overtake the wis- dom and benefit of this act of the government. The malignant cry of the secession press within the free states, and the recent action of the Confederate Con. gress, are decisive as to its efficiency and correctness of aim. Not less so is the silent joy which has greeted it in all generous hearts, and the new hope it has breathed into the world. It was well to de lay the steamers at the wharves until this edict could be put on board. It will be an i nsurance to the ship as it goes p l ung i ng through th e sea with glad tidings to all people. Happy are the young who find the pestilence cleansed out of the earth, leaving open to them an honest career. Happy the old, who see nature purified before they depart.

THE CAUSES of PREMATURE DECAY.— Authors of eminence have ascribed the decline of the Roman empire to the effeminacy of manners, which precluded resistance ; and this effeminacy hey trace chiefly to vicious habits acquired in early life, by which, in our own time, an influential journalist has endeavoured to account for the de cline of population in the Asiatic provinces of Turkey. The peculiar source of physical and moral degeneracy al luded to has at all times been specially deprecated by philo sophers and philanthropists. It besets inexperienced youth, laying the foundation of future misery, poisoning the nuptial cup with bitter malignity; destroying health, curtailing life, and making it, during its brief career, a scene of anguish , from the consciousness of humiliating infirmity. The evil is but too rife in our age and country ; and expe rience can often discern the sad results in the early deaths, the hereditary and perpetuated ailment', and the matri monial discords and sandals described, in convential par lance, as " unaccountable " and "mysterious."

The new conscripts were sent at once to fill up the old regiments, and the consequence is that by" this time nearly all the old regiments are once more restored to their original strength. This is esp.':- cially the case with the regiments composing the• Confederate army near Winchester. In addition to this means of recruiting his forces, General Lee's effective strength has been gradually and steadily increased during the last four weeks by reinthree ments of old regiments which were not under his orders at the battle of Antietam, but which since that time have been drawn from other point*. Fliw effective strength a week ago to-day was fully 130, 4) 0 0 troops.

The depot); at Lynchburg and Burkes ville were used for the ste:rage of bales of blankets, woollen clothing, and other ,articles of that descrip tion, which, being of foreign o.,;anufacture, must, of course, have been brought in ve..sels that ran the blockade. In these storehouses, t.. 10, are immense, quantities of salted meat, flour, beaus, corn, and oats, brought from Kentucky and Tennessee. Several of the large buildings formerly used for tobacco warehouses are now entirely filled with these commodities. The depots at Gordonsville and Staunton also contain smaller quantities of these articles, but they are principally used for the storage of the grain, fruit, and other produc tions of the rich and fertile Shenandoah valley, which have been pouring into them during the last six. weeks, At these places, also, there are immense herds of cattle, which have been collected in the valley. The valley, however, has been by no means drained of its productions. At Staunton, George town, Furloytown, MEartishurg.-o,nd at seveiAl other places, the nAmes of which I forget, there are smaller depots of supplies of the more perishable articles, which are forwarded to the army near Winchester, as they arzl needed. The engineer de partment of the Confeder.‘te army has been actively employed for a month past in improving the roads leading from Staunton,Gordorewille, and Culpepper, to Winchester. There are no' sick or wounded soldiers in any of General Lee's amps. All such were sent South as soon as they be 'Come disabled.

IRE NAVY. The Chanticleer, 17, screw, Commander Charles Stirling, has arrived at Gibraltar from England, after a somewhat long passage from Spithead, owing to the prevalence of heavy weather during the greater portion of the voyage out. Letters received from her; dated Gibraltar, Nov. 3, state that a very heavy gale was met with the night after the ship sailed from Spithead, and that Capt. Stirling was compelled to lar the ship to for seven days in the Channel until the force of the gale moderated. The ship has sustained no' glorious damage. Her Majesty's line-of-battle screw steamship the Hero, 89 guns, 3,148 tons, 600 horse power, Capt. Alfred P. Ryder, from the ,North American and West India stations, arrived at Sheerness on Sun day last, where she will be put out of commission. On Monday the vessel was inspected by Vice-Ad miral W. S. Hope Johnstone, Commet2der-in-Chief at Sheerness, and Staff. The Hero has b e en in com mission since March, 1859, and will be pa f,i off in a few days, when she will be moored in the b.arbour and placed in the third division of the Shoe.vness steam reserve. In accordance with Admiralty instructions, :mil also with others received from the War Departmen f, yesterday was observed as a clo-e holiday in the' dockyard, victualling-yard, and gunwharf, &c., at Portsmnuth , No other public demonstrations in honour of the day were made by the authorities; even the guns of the fortress and ships of war re mained silent,owi.n g,itis supposed, to the proximity of her Majesty, the Court being at Osborne. The paddlewheel gteamtug African, employed as a tender to the vessels attached to the Chatham division of the steam r,9serve in the Medway, is ordered to be thoroughly examined, in order to ascertain whether or not she is worth repairing. In the meantime her officers and cmw are to be turned over to the Thistle gunboat, which will act as a tender until it can be ascertained whether the paddlewheel steamer Locust, 100-hors; power, can be converted into a tug. The Locttst, has been placed in the great basin for the purpose of being examined.

Clark Kennedy, C. 8., Command ant, Military Train ; Col. D'Aguilar, C. 8., Royal Horse Brigade; and Lieut.-Col. Marri o tt, R o y a l Marines. The court assembled in the hospital on Friday, and again on Saturday, and, with the ex ception of yesterday, they are expected to hold their sittings each day during the week. The represen tation of the commanding officer of the depot to the commandant was mainly caused by the discharge last month of two of his brigade, who were at that time in a very precarious state of health. One of them was so ill that it was found impossible to get him out cf the hospital to receive his parchment eer- tificate. It was therefore found necessary to permit him to remain in the hospital, where he died a few hours afterwards. The other, dressed in his regi., mentals, was crawling out of the hospital, wh en y he fell down exhausted, and was ca rried bac k to his ward, where he still remai ns.
