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 dz2ree of functional vigour upon which the hopes of posterity dapend.

AIR. GLADSTONE IN SCOTLAND. Mr. Gladstone laid the foundation stone of a new church for the Episcopal congregation of St. James's, Leith, on Saturday. He spoke briefly on this occasion, congratulating his hearers that they were about to raise a structure worthy of Divine worship. " In ono sense, indeed, the meanest structure is worthy even of Divine worship. But it is a mise rable perversion of that true doctrine NI, hen those who aro blessed with the goods of th's world think it scorn to bestow them on the honour of God, and shelter themselves in the undisputed fact that it isn't in silver or gold, or precious stones or rich carvings, but in the heart of man that God is truly worshipped. It is a miserable perversion of it when those whose hearts are too much attached to the wealth of this world, and wish to reserve the disposal of it for selfish pleasures, shelter themselves under the principle that Christianity teaches us with regard to the indifference of the Almighty to material substances, and thus present a revolting contrast between the miserable character of the buildings in which they are sometimes content to meet and worship the Almighty and the unbounded luxuries which characterise every apartment of their own dwellings and every detail of their pri vate lives." The ceremony over, Mr. Gladstone met a crowded audience in the assembly rooms, Leith, where he was presented with a municipal address. Allusion was made to the fact that Leith was ther - birthplace of his father, and Mr. Gladstone, in reply, said : "I am very sensible of the very great advan tages of birth. The aristocracy of this country is an aristocracy which is strong and deeply rooted in the affections of the people—(cheers)—and the privileges of that aristocracy depend, not upon the letter of the law, not even upon the strength of custom, but upon two things —upon the wisdom with which they are commonly used, and, above all, upon the strong conviction of the people that its existence is beneficial to the community at large, (Cheers.) But although sensible of the advantages of high birth, I may be permitted to say that when I remember my own father, I never could desire to exchange him, if it were in my power, for the father of any other man." (Cheers.) At two o'clock in the afternoon a meeting of the Town Council and community of Leith was held in the Assembly Rooms, Constitution-street, for the purpose of presenting an address to the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The PROVOST having made a few introductory remarks, The Town Clerk read au appropriate address. Mr. GLADSTONE on rising to respond was most enthusiastically received, the whole assemblage cheering vociferously. After acknowledging the honour which had been conferred upon him, he proceeded to pay a tribute to the memory of his Royal Highness the late Prince Consort. Referring to the recent anxieties in regard to the relations between this country with America, the right hon. gentleman spoke as follows heartily wish that it was in our power to exhibit to the community of the United States the precise and exact state of feeling that has subsisted in this country ever since the beginning of that tremendous convulsion which now agitates that continent, and overturns its peace and prosperity. (Cheers.) Ido not believe that at the time when that convulsion commenced there was one man in every thousand in this country who had any sentiment whatever towards the United States of America, except a sentiment of affectionate and sympathising goodwill (loud cheers)—or who felt anything but a desire that they might continue to go on and prosper, and to finish the work, whatever it may have been, which Providence had appointed them to do. (Loud cheers.) I have not the least scruple in saying for myself, that my opinion is, not only has England nothing to fear from the growth of the United States of America; but that, as far as we had a selfish interest at all in the matter, our inte rest was that the American Union should continue undisturbed. (Cheers.) Our forefathers had known the pangs of national dismemberment, and this gallant country, after a long struggle, had submit ted to what they then regarded as a great calamity, but what we have since discovered under the cir cumstances of the case to be no calamity at all, but rather the accomplishment of a normal process of nature herself. Universal goodwill was the senti ment which prevailed towards America in this country. (Loud cheers.) Yet we could not help forming an opinion upon that terrific and fright ful convulsion, when it occurred ; and there is no doubt of the fact. I am not pretending to reveal secrets, or to be an interpreter of public opinion more than any other man ; but there is no doubt, I think, of the fact that all thinking men in this country had come to the conclusion that in that war which had commenced the party which was apparently the strongest had committed them selves to an enterprise which would probably prove to be entirely beyond their powers. We saw there a military undertaking of tre mendous difficulty, and a military undertaking which, if it was to be successful, would only be the preface and introduction to political difficulties far greater than even the military difficulties of the war itself. (Cheers.) Now, lam afraid that when this opinion came to be prevalent in England, that this war was a war to be lamented and to be deprecated, and likely to result in great misery, great effusion of human blood, enormous waste of treasure, per manent estrangement, and bitterness of feeling—l am afraid that the formation of that opinion, though conscientiously formed, gave deep offence to the people, or to many persons at least, in the United States." Well, we know in private life that the same thing constantly happens, when a man is engaged with his whole heart and will upon some enterprise that he thinks vital to his well-being ; and when some other person is known to have said that he thinks the enterprise had much better not be undertaken, great irritability, great susceptibility, is the result; and such a state of things arises in despite of the inclinations of the men themselves, in which there is a disposition to quarrel and to contention, (Cheers.) I believe that is a true and fair descrip tion of state of things between England and Ame rica at the time when what is so well known as the case of the Trent occurred and produced so profound a sensation in this country. When that case oc curred, I need not say that it was the duty of the Government to use their very best exertions to make an examination of the facts and law of the case ; because, if we had been mistaken in our views of . _ the facts and law, I hold that, whatever our inclinations might be to maintain the honour of our country, our duty is not to disturb the facts, but to pay strict obedience to the laws, especially to those laws prevailing between nation and na tion, the creation of which is one of the grandest results of modern civilisation, and the maintenance of which is vital to the interests of every people in the world. (Cheers.) But, having used the best exertions in our power to inform ourselves on these points, we made a demand to the American Govern ment which is known to this country. You all know also the success of that demand. (Cheers.) Now, what I earnestly hope is, that we shall take in good part the concession that America has made. Do not let us be tempted to criticise in an unfriendly spirit any portion of their proceedings; perhaps if any individual might be tempted to criti cise their proceedings it is the Chancellor of the Exchequer. (Laughter.) I hear some people say, " Why did they not give up Messrs. Mason and Sli dell at once, without waiting for our demand ?' Well, now, I think I am the person who has the best right to put that question, because undoubtedly, if they had given up Messrs. Mason and Slidell at once, without waiting for our demand, it would have saved the various departments of the State a great deal of trouble, and would, hays enabled me to present at the close of the financial year a balance-sheet more entirely satisfactory than I can possibly do, although I do not despond with respect to it. But I hope that question will not be put. Let us look, ladies and'gentlemen, upon the bright side of that which the Americans have done, and surely a bright side it has, Let us look to the fact that they are of necessity a people subject to quick and violent action of opinion, and liable to great public excitement—intensely agreed on the subject of the war in which they were engaged, until aroused to a high pitch of expectation by hearing that one of their vessels of war had laid hold on the commissioners of the Southern States, whom they regarded simply as rebels. Let us look to the fact that in the midst of that exultation, and in a coun try where the principles of popular government and democracy are carried to extremes—that even, how ever, in this struggle of life and death, as they think it to be—that even while ebullitions were taking place all over the country of joy and exulta tion at this capture—that even there this popular and democratic Government has, under a demand of a foreign power, written these word s , f or th ey are the closing words in the despatch of Mr. Seward— ' The four commissioners will be cheerfully libe rated.' (Loud cheers.) Let us take these words, I say, without minute criticism upon anything that may have passed at former times, and may have been open to differences of view—let us accept them with thankfulness to the Almighty for having removed any apparent cause of deadly collision, in which the hearts of the people of this country were united as . the heart of one man to vindicate, under all circumstances and to all extremities, the honour of the British flag, and to discharge the duty of protection to those who had placed themselves under its shelter. Let us form for the future good auguries from that which now stands amongst the records of the past, and let us hope that whatever remains or whatever may yet arise to be adjusted in those relations between the two countries which afford a thousand points of contact —every day must neces sarily likewise afford opportunities for collision—let us hope that in whatever may arise or remain to be adjusted, a spirit of brotherly concord may prevail, and altogether with the disposition to assert our rights, we may be permitted to cherish a disposition to interpret handsomely and liberally the acts and intentions of others, and to avoid, if we can, aggra vating the frightful evils of the civil war in America by, perhaps, even greater evils —at an y ra t e , enormous evils to what, though not a civil war, wou ld b e next to a civil war—any conflict b e t ween America and England. Mr. Provost, I could not appear before now to make a you on this occasion and speak of th e h appy state of this country within, and lik ew i se of the happy condition of its relations with f ore i gn powers—l could e to these question s o f h vital pass to that matte r on whichs n you o interest . 0 avoid have I w been referring leas e parti cular appeal to me, and at the same time to con vey to mer at the fi ed ss. a fact by whi c h I am d You have r e f erre d , s i r, to a series of legislative efforts by whi c h th e last 20 years eeply giaPrance of have had impressed upon them a stamp which I be lieveWe must not suppo se and sudd en revolu tt ihoant s we are l will hope endure n likely i to e greatpossibly see great improve ments;ays history.e but at any rate we are no t lik e l y to see n the principl es w hi c h ggorevaetrnorthseuddn revolutionsintercourse o; nations. ions. Y e t Id o c h er i sh the hope that, by gradual, calm, an d s il ent influ ences, the constant increase of ki n dly an d f r i endly intercourse, mutually beneficial i n th e i r operations e on trade, is calculated to be an humble auxiliary to the great principles not only of an enlightened civilisation, but even of our holy religion—this which contemplates as a great practical result peace, union, and harmony among the nations of the world. (Cheers.) At any rate, ladies and gentlemen, this country has contributed its offering upon that sacred altar. We have done what could be done to destroy those strange barriers which the caprice of men had erected. No doubt under a view, though with a mistaken view, of doing particular and local good, those strange barriers which the caprice of men had erected to prevent the free interchange of commodities between the nations of the world. I am extremely glad, sir, to learn from authority that I cannot but regard as conclu sive that the town of Leith has profited, and has profited greatly, by the freedom of trade which has recently been established in this country. I venture to make au inquiry with regard to the condition of trade in which Leith, as I know, has a special inte rest, and for which it has during many generations past enjoyed a peculiar fame—l mean the wine trade. (Cheers.) I believe it is the ease that houses in Leith have very extensive private relations with customers all over the country, on account of the fame attaching to this port for the importation of good wine. I must not presume to say too much of my own personal experience —(laughter)—but I must say that whenever I come to Edinburgh, and enjoy the hospitality in which that city abounds, I am always struck by the goodness of the wine —(re newed laughter and cheers)—and I cannot ascribe the particular goodness of the wine in Edinburgh to any special cause, so much as to the happy cir cumstances that its site places it within very easy access of the wine imported at Leith. (Laughter.) I hope with regard to the trade of wine in Leith, that it will derive great advantage from the changes that have recently been made. But we must not expect the effeot of these changes to be sudden. Neither the law s, nor the necessities, nor the palates of men change in a moment. (Laughter.) It is not neces sary for us to advance an argument in support of the proposition that these benefits have arisen from the change. But a single illustration may perhaps be permitted, and I will, if you permit me, draw that illustration from a case which to me, has been, and perhaps to others of us, has been one of great and peculiar interest, I mean the case of the treaty of commerce with France, in the negotiation of which Mr. Cobden has conferred, I am bound to say, a benefit upon his country, such as, I trust, that country will never cease gratefully to remember and acknowledge. (Loud. cheers.) The treaty with France has only been in operation for a very few months. There are but three months, in fact, with respect to which any reference can be made as to its results that would be of great importance. That time is much too short, and in submitting to you a comparison, in a very few figures, between the present and the former state of the trade with France, pray understand I am giving you the re• sults of a very short experience, and which are, I think, more an indication of what we may expect than any full account of the results of that great and important measure. But I must think that they are satisfactory. You may, perhaps, recol lect that under the provisions of that treaty we in England, who had overcome all international difficulties with respect to freedom of trade —we at once gave effect to the general nature and con ditions of tee treaty, and admitted French produce without any limitations, excepting in those cases where it was absolutely necessary for fiscal purposes. In France, on the contrary, where the Government, with a wisdom and courage that I really think deserve our warmest commendations —(cheers)—not in the interest of England, but in interest of France itself, determined to face what were called the Protectionist interests of that coun try, they wisely allowed the lapse of a certain time before their treaty came into operation. It has not yet entirely come into operation. One or two arti cles took effect in the year 1860, and one or two more took effect at different periods in 1861; but it was only upon the Ist of October, 1861, that the most important change was made. That change, how ever, is not final ; because upon a future day the general scale of duties upon English commodities will be further reduced. Therefore, we have not done more, as I consider, than, if I may use the the expression, tap the benefits that I hope are to bo the result of that great measure. I take the months of October And November, which Are the only two months during which we have the result before us; but I add the month of September, be cause, although the new law was not then in opera tion in France, yet the exports of this country in preparation for the new law, on the Ist of October, had, of course, taken place by anticipation. I take the exports of this country to France in the three months of September, October, and November, 1861, and I ccmpare them with September, October, and November, 1860. I ought, however, to observe to you that the three months of 1869 already profited greatly, even by the one-sided operation of the treaty, because the free admission of French goods tended to produce, and did produce, an increase of exportation of British goods to France, even irrespective of a change in the French law. But the three months of September, October, and November of 1860 showed that we exported in those three months British produce to France to the amount of £1,517,000. I now give you the exports of the same three months in 1861, which represent what I may call the first-fruits of the treaty; but it is right I should mention that in 1861 there was a considerable export of corn to France, caused by the deficiency of the French harvest,:which did not occur in 1860, which would have caused some temporary increase, although nothing like that which I am about to mention. The exports for the three months in 1860 from Eng land to France in British produce were £1,517,000; while during the same three months of 1861 they amounted to £3,6l7,ooo—(cheers)—showing a gross increase of £2,099,000, and an augmenta tion in the total extent of the trade of more than cent. per cent. As I have said, the main portion of the result was due to the increased ex port of British goods and to the operation of the treaty. Now, Mr? Provost and gentlemen, I think it very peculiarly desirable, on many grounds, that this improvement in our commercial relations should take place between us and France. It is true the old state of things in the commercial law be tween this country and France savoured of the period when it was almost thought in this country —not perhaps so much in Scotland as in England— a matter of duty to regard Frenchmen as tradi tional enemies, That opinion does not, I am happy to say, prevail now. (Cheers.) At present English men are in general disposed, and wisely disposed, to treat the tradition of their ancestors as a tra dition for which they have much less respect than they used to have, for which, I trust, they will in a short time have no respect at all. (Cheers.) The truth is that the union of England and France in the bonds of special amity and harmony is, of all other things that can be named, the greatest benefit to these countries themselves and to the other nations of the world. It is a benefit which you cannot always enjoy, because it is im possible that the views and the policy of Govern ments and of nations should always coincide ; but it is a benefit in respect to which I presume to say that when we can have it we should have, for there is none other comparable to it in magnitude. There is no other which so completely offers us, humanly speaking, a guarantee for the general peace and happiness of the world. (Cheers.) Mr. Provost and gentlemen, it is quite true that the policy of Governments, as opposed to nations, may sometimes interfere to mar that harmony. Therefore I say it is well that we should not look simply to the policy of Governments, but we should endeavour to unite the two nations in harmonious feelings. (Cheers.) When was there any means or instrument so power ful and so valuable for that purpose at our command as the means and instrument employed in the treaty of commerce with France, which increases and naultiplids tenfold the quiet, peaceful, unnoticed, habitual, daily principles of kindly and beneficial intercourse between the two countries ? And when is it that we are deriving this advantage ? It is at the very moment when we:wanted it. I have given you the state of trade between England and France. What is the state of trade between England and America ? I will take these same three months in 1860. Then we exported £5,109,000 of British produce. In the samo three months of 1861,instead of £5,109,000, we exported only £1,932,000, show ing a decrease of £3,176,000. I humbly submit, therefore, to you, that it is a national benefit of no common order that, at the very moment when so large a portion of our working population were de prived of employment, it had been so appointed— and I hope I may venture to say it was provi dentially appointed—that the new system of law should come into operation with France, which, although not filling up the entire gap, should fill up more than one-half of it ; because, while we have a decrease of about £3,000,000 in our trade with America, we have an increase of £2,000,000 with France. I have ventured thus to illustrate to you in a particular point the working of those principles to which you have been good enough to direct my attention by the address that I hold in my hands. It is useless for me to say on my own behalf and on behalf of my colleagues that our attachment to those principles is well rooted in our convictions and well sustained by our ex perience. (Cheers.) Let us hope that a similar spirit the spirit which has guided the councils of this country with regard to the question—will continue to guide them with regard not only to the question of commercial free dom, but with regard to the general tong and spirit of its policy—l mean the spirit that prefers liberty —to slavery—a spirit that, while indisposed to violent and capricious change, yet is sedulously and ever awake to devise the means of well-considered improvements —a spirit of generous reliance on the people of this country, as being, under God, the best means—for we have found it the best means—of strengthening the laws of the country, and of giving permanency to its institutions by placing their firm seat and foundation in the hearts of the nation in which we live. The right hon. gentleman resumed his seat amid loud and prolonged cheering. te o d n by th t e hr c e a e ll ch o e f er r a r b o e v i o n s g given Th fo The proceedin gs m oeee r d . in Lindsay. gst Gladstone,ermina (From the Daily News.) Mr, Gladstone is the first Cabinet Minister who has spoken in detail on the recent &faculty with America, as well as on our general relations with the Northern States, and his just and generous words will be heartily welcomed by right-think ing men on both sides of the Atlantic. Amidst the merchants of Leith the Chancellor of the Exchequer, himself the son of a Leith merchant, discoursed of the great conflict which has crippled our manufactures and seriously damaged our com merce, not only with the spirit of a patriot, but what is far rarer in these days, with the calmness of a statesman and the scrupulous fairness of an unbiassed judge. The main value of the speech, enhanced, of course, by the high position and au thority of the speaker, lies in this characteristic-- its elevation of view and thoughtful impartiality, the anxious desire evinced throughout to do justice to both countries. Mr. Gladstone rises far above the petty devices and vulgar temptations which, in discussing this question, seduce so many writers and speakers less gifted, less honourable, and less high-minded than himself. He has no theory to gratify, to party object to serve by undue deprecia tion of the American people, and covert or open abuse of their Government and institutions. He will not condescend to catch a passing cheer by blustering appeals to the vanity and self-love of hi hearers, and scorns to trade in the lowest national passions in dealing with a subject which pre-emi nently appeals to the reason and conscience of the community. In a word, he has no sympathy what ever with that unmeasured abuse of everything American, and unmeasured praise of everything British, which bigoted and vulgar minds insult their country by denominating an English point of view. On the contrary, he adopts the maxim in culcated by moralists and instinctively acted on by • honourable minds, of endeavouring in any disputed PRICE..... ~.4d, STAMPED ....sd. question to place yourself in the position of your opponent, instead of judging his motives and conduct from a purely one - s i ded point of view. This is a factidenticalwith that g o ld en ru l e o f supreme wise dom and justice, which all Christian nations pro fessedly accept, of doing to others as you would they should do unto you. Take, for example, the terms in which the right hon. gentleman refers to the settlement of the re cent dispute. Instead of labouring, as some who affect to represent the Government have done, to detract in every possible way from the merits of the honourable concession made by the American Government, he recalls attention to the special circumstances which tend to enhance its value. He places himself in the position of the American people at the time when the seizure of the rebel C namissioners on board the Trent occurred. There was undoubtedly at that time a good deal of irritation in the Northern States at our studious neutrality, and Mr. Gladstone takes this into ac count, making full allowance for the influence which this excited state of public feeling would naturally have on the popular judgment of Captain Wilkes's act. Having thus prepared the way for a fair estimate of their subsequent conduct, the right hon. gentleman does full justiccto the noble self conquest achieved by the Ameritan people over themselves. In this, however,*: Gladstone but reflects the unanimous feeling oi.als country. The frank, straightforward, and honourable manner in which our demands have been met hiss been joy. fully acknowledged by all classes, and produced throughout the country a strong reaction in favour of the American Government and the American people. Even the Conservative journals, which aro usually the hostile critics of everything American, have, to their credit be it spoken, shown themselves lovers of English fairness, and appreciated the self restraint and honourable dealing of the American Government and people in the matter of the Trent. But while this feeling has universally prevailed, it has never been so vividly and eloquently expressed as in the Chancellor of the Exchequer's noble speech. " I trust (said the right hon. gentleman, referring to this question) nothing will be said, and nothing will be thought in this about previous questions and old controversies with Americans. Let us endeavour to look at their conduct in a generous spirit. Let us look to the fact that they are of necessity a people subject to quick and violent action of opi nion, and liable to great public excitement—in tensely agreed on the subject of the war in which they were engaged, until aroused to a high pitch of expectation by hearing that one of their vessels of war had laid hold on the Commissioners of the Southern States, whom they regarded simply as rebels. Let us look to the fact that in the midst of that exultation, and in a country where the principles of popular govern ment and democracy are carried to extremes— that even, however, in this struggle of life and death, as they think it to be—that even while ebul litions were taking place all over the country of joy and exultation at this capture—that even then this popular and democratic Government has, under a demand of a foreign Power, written these words, for they are the closing words in the de spatch of Mr. Seward—" The four Commissioners will be cheerfully liberated." Mr. Gladstone's ge neral references to our relations with America and the feelings which Englishmen at large entertain towards the American people were equally cow , teous, conciliatory, and just. Speaking on behalf of the great body of his countrymen, he nobly repu diated at the outset the notion that the Secession was welcomed here, and the prospect of the Union being destroyed hailed with satisfaction, because it would help to weaken the strength and humble the pretension of a rival Power. It is quite true that many of those in this country who lave all along sided with the South, and who were most eager to provoke a rupture with the North, have in the clubs, and other congenial circles, freely assigned this as one of their reasons. But few have had the courage to avow it in public. Mr. Gladstone, most justly, declines it altogether on behalf of Eng lishmen at large. " I do not believe that at the time when the convulsion commenced there was one man in a thousand in this country who had any sentiment whatever towards the United States of America except a sentiment of affectionate and spmpathising goodwill—(cheers)—or who felt any thing but a desire that they might continue to go on and prosper, and to finish the work, whatever it may have been, which Providence had appointed them to do. (Cheers.) I have not the least scruple in saying, for myself, that my opinion is, that not only had England nothing to fear from the growth of the United States of America, but that, so far as we had a selfish interest at all in the matter, our interest was that the American Union should con tinue undisturbed." With regard to the future, Mr. Gladstone hopes that a better understanding and a more cordial intercourse will exist between the two nations. The frank and honourable conduct of the Federal Government and the American people has given them a fresh claim on our sympathy and good offiees. The two nations understand each other the better for the collision that has terminated so happily, and should be all the better friends for the future. This is the moral Mr. Gladstone draws from the re cent difficulty with regard to the Trent. Since it has been settled in so prompt and honourable a manner we may fairly hope that " a spirit of bro therly concord" may henceforth regulate the inter course of the two peoples. The settlement of the difficulty having made us better friends, he ear nestly deprecates any step likely to provoke a col lision or misunderstanding with the Federal Go vernment and the American people :—" Let us form s g t g ood s auguries f t o h r e t r h e e e erd s futureof from the past, that w a n h d i c hnow let us hope that whatever remains, or whatever may yet arise, to be adjusted in those relations between the two countries which afford a thousand points of contact every day, and must necessarily likewise afford opportunities for collision—let us hope that, in whatever may arise or remain to be adjusted a spirit of brotherly concord may prevail; and, to gether with a disposition to assert our rights, we may be permitted to cherish a disposition to in terpret handsomely and liberally the acts and in• tentions of others, and to avoid, if we can, ag gravating the frightful evils of the oivil war in America by perhaps even greater evils—at any rate, enormous evils to what, though not a civil war, would be next to a civil war—any conflict be tween America and England." We regret to see in the North China Herald a notice of the death of the oldest missionary in China, Dr. Bridgman. He left America in 1829 and landed in China in 1830, when Dr. Morrison was the only Protestant mis sionary in that vast empire, He died on the 2d November at the age of 60. THE GAROTTING OF A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER IN SHOREDITCM—Yesterday evening an inquest was opened at the Sutton Arius Tavern, Carthusian -street, by Mr. John Humphreys, the coroner for East Middlesex, upon the body of Mr. R. Pearce, aged 41, commercial tra veller, who was garotted and robbed of a quantity of valu able jewellery on the 7th inst., and who died on last Friday morning, at one o s ' r e e l c o t c o k r , from 'Webster,the injuriesNhe division, received on at tendedtha to toecas occasion.

The jury having proceeded to view the body, the first wit ness called was the wife of the deceased, Mrs. Elizabeth P ear ce, who said —I reside temporarily at tho Sutton Arms. I am the widow of the deceased Richard Pearce, who was a dealer in jewellery and hardware, On Saturday week last I left him to go on a visit to some friends at Torqttay. I know nothing about the cause of deceased's death. A communication was here made to the coroner, who then said that, from information which he had just received, it appeared that the ends of justice might be frustrated if the proceedings were to go any further at the present moment. Only one of those implicated in the death of the deceased had been as yet apprehended, and he should therefore ad journ the case to a future day, The jury were then bound over in the usual manner to appear again, when due notice woull be served on them by the proper °Meer. e. -e-r_____ 3 N EWSPAPER - -;'.6-- - : .„. 1-jc, x .',*,. , 7 4 ,, ( F...., (, : ri * .. ; . v -_,,*, 0: TILE NAVE flli'gWit" Mif 0 -'-'' ' .'l.ois • N:,: i , VALLETTA, Jan. 7.—There is little o n,.. tid transmit from this place by the present maid; Tbk : S naval movements have been limited to the arrival of the gunboat Surprise, 4, Comm', - lir.

We are daily ex pecting the London line-of battle ship here from Corfu, on her way to Gibraltar, she having left that place for Malta. The James Watt, 89, is to remain at Naples with the Exmouth, 89, for the present and will later relieve her. The Exmouth will pro ceed home shortly to be paid off. By the last ac counts from the Coast of Syria there were in those waters her Majesty's ships Malacca, Pelican, 17, Gannet,lll, and Intrepid, 6 ; also the French frigate Illogador. The ships of war in Malta harbour are the Marlborough, 131 (flagship of Vice-Admiral Sir W. F. Martin, K.C.13.); the Hibernia receiving ship (flag of Rear Admiral H. J.

JAN. B.—This morning telegraphic information was received from Benghazi of the loss of an un known steamer, supposed to be English, in the bay of Syrtis, between Benghazi and Tripoli ; her crew were saved, and are at present in the Castle .of2af fran. She was a paddlewheel vessel with-white funnel ; the crew were dressed in red. Increased exertions are still continued, at Wool wich to supply munitions of war to the British pos sessions in North America. The screw steam store ship, SpaTtap, CARS, iff ini 1 1 8 1!040 Arsenal T pier, has shipped 300 tons of 100 *rider Armstrong shot and shell, 50 tons of medical stores, 100 chests of muskets, and a large amount of beds and bedding, hospital-clothing, and stores and general necessaries for the garrisons of St. John's,lNew Brunswick, and Halifax. The Wisbech, a screw steamer of heavy tonnage, yesterday arrived alongside, awaiting a berth to ship for the same destination. The Rodotria yesterday commenced shipping at Woolwich Arsenal Armstrong guns—forming two complete batteries of 12 pounder field guns and ap purtenances, for the E and H batteries, Bth Brigade Royal Artillery, at Cork. The screw gunboats Spanker, Herring, and Misletoe, each shipped at the Ordnance-wharf Chatham, yesterday, one 100 pounder Armstrong gun, and one 32 pounder cast-iron gun, together with a supply of shot and shell. They will remain at Sheerness to await orders. The Calypso, 18, Capt. F. B. Montresor, has com menced being dismantled in Chatham harbour, pre paratory to being put out of commission. During the heavy gale which prevailed on Saturday the wind caught the sails, which had been loosened to dry, and the vessel immediately commenced dragg ing her anchor. Another anchor was at once let go, without checking the ship, which went a ground on a mudbank, from which she was subse quently got off, without having sustained any in jury. The Calypso was built at Chatham only a very few years since, and is the last of the sailing ships which will be commissioned. Her royals, topgallant, and top masts were sent down yester day, and the crew are busily engaged in returning her stores into the dockyard. .. The Galatea, 26, 800 horse power, having com pleted fitting at Chatham, will proceed to day from Folly Point to Sheerness. She will be attached to the first-class steam reserve until intended for com mission. The screw steam sloop Lapwing, 4, Commander Montague F. O'Reilly, which arrived at Plymouth on Saturday, was inspected yesterday (Monday) in the Sound by Capt. Jerningham, preparatory to her being paid off. The Lapwing left Gibraltar on the 4th, and came home under steam and canvass. Topgallant yards were crossed yesterday morn ing on board the screw steam sloop Revenge, 89, Capt. Charles Fellowes, in Hamoaze. 6.he would probably drop down into the Sound in the afternoon. The naval invalids, to the number of 40, who arrived from the Mediterranean at Plymouth on Sunday in the screw steamship Cf.esar, 80, Capt. T. H. Mason, were landed yesterday by the steam tug Pike. Lieut. O'Brien, 7th Fusileers, and Lieut. Stanbridge, Royal Marines, came home in the Cvesar. The Trafalgar, 86, screw, Capt. J. B. Dickson, steamed out of Portsmouth harbour yesterday morning, and, anchoring at Spithead, commenced taking in her powder and shell in readiness for future orders. A chain of telegraphic communica tion is now formed between the Victory, flagship of the Commander-in-Chief, in Portsmouth har bour; the Trafalgar at Spithead ; the Warrior, off Osborne ; and the Dauntless, in Southampton Water. The Chanticleer, 17, screw, Commander C. Stir ling, was undocked yesterday at Portsmouth, and afterwards commenced taking in ordnance stores in the harbour. Her crew are on 14 days' leave. The Black Prince, 40, iron frigate, in No. 10 dock at Portsmouth, is ordered to be fitted with an hydraulic apparatus for steering the ship, and also for raising the screw. The Sutlej, 51, screw, steamed out of Portsmouth harbour yesterday on a preliminary trial of her ma chinery, which will be resumed on Wednesday. The Megcera, screw troopship, Commander Hen derson, yesterday landed the troops which she has brought home from various regiments serving on the Mediterranean station at Portsmouth dockyard, where they were taken charge of by the military authorities of the garrison: Those invalids who were most seriously ill were sent to the military hospital; the remainder of the men were forwarded by train to Woolwich and Chatham. Tho following appointments were made at the Admi ralty last evening : Commander James P. Thurburn to the Dauntless (addi ienal) for service in the Coast-guard. Paymaster Edward Howe, to be Paymaster in Chief. Clerk—Frederick L. Dyer, to the Impregnable. THE ARMY. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, on the recommendation of Col. H. D. Harness, C. 13., director of the Royal Engineering establishment, Chatham, has authorised some important changes i n the internal organisation of the Royal Engineers. imparted officers, under by Until within a very recent period the whole of the t ra i n i ng given to the young officers and m en a t ea n was edthe certain superintend ence num b er o f n h o tq o u m a ni rt i e s r s s ion of two officers as field-work instructors. From the constant changes made the k n owledge was exceedingly meagre. Since the appointment of Col. Harness, however, to the command of the Royal Engineers, an important alt erat i on has been brought about given by the Duke of Cambridge for the appoint ment of a numerous body of efficient instructors in the • various kinds of engineering operations. In stead of the limited number of instructors hitherto employed at Brompton, an increase is to be made in the staff at headquarters by the appointment of six field-work instructors, two surveying instruc tors, one lithographic instructor for the print ing -office, one telegraphic school instructor, one photographic school instructor, one labora tory instructor, one topographical instruc tor, one additional assistant-schoolmaster, and one as an instructor in field-works, who will occasion ally be attached to the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, for the training of cadets.
