" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professicnal reader, and ought to be four d in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—lffedical Circular.

AN IMPO R T ANT DISCUSSION.—The I "Times," the "Lancet," and other leading journals have been lately canvassing the social considerations in volved in " the amount of death and disease caused by vice." Some Interesting statistics are brought to bear upon the inquiry ; but it would greatly add to their value if they in cluded the facts respecting the origin, the ravages, and the prevention of that SPECIAL VICE, which wars more than any other against the welfare of society—destroying the happi ness and disappointing the objects of matrimony, under mining the constitutions, blasting the prospects, embittering _ and shortening* the lives of its victims, and spreading desola matn4, g tion through families.

HMS of Cionsultatio - _ - _ 10 t 0 S and 0 to Mi bundsm 10 4 The present situation of military and naval affairs in this distracted Republic may be very briefly described. The armies of Generals Halleck and Beauregard are within speaking distance of each other before Corinth. Both are disinclined to com mence the attack, although severe skirmishes have occurred between the outposts that might have brought on a general engagement had either com mander desired it. Beauregard has the advantage in point of numbers and Halleck in point of sup plies. For more than a fortnight the news of the final onslaught has been hourly expected in this city, and, every day, rumours, more or less gloomy and circumstantial, of the defeat of the Federals have pervaded every place of public resort both here and in Washington. General M'Clellan is daily diminishing the distance between his army and the Confederate capital; but his plans of a combined military and naval attack have been dis concerted by the failure of the Monitor and her iron-clad coadjutors in the James River to pass Fort Darling, or to approach within eight miles of Rich mond. The news from the Mississippi is to the effect that Commodore Farragut and his flotilla have ascended the stream from New Orleans to Vicksburg, a dis tance of 400 miles, but as nothing is said of the surrender or capture of Fort Adams, held by the Confederates, 100 miles below Vicksburg, it is pro bable that the report is premature or unfounded. It seems to be more certain that Commodore Davis, who succeeded Commodore Foote in the command of the descending flotilla after the capture of Island No. 10, has unsuccessfully attacked Fort Pillow, sometimes called Fort Wright, and that the Con federates have strongly fortified Fort Randolph, a much more formidable position 12 miles lower down the stream, and that the object of the two Federal commodores is to effect a junction at Memphis. Mobile, Savannah, and Charleston are still in pos session of the Southern Government. Mobile is virtually besieged by a portion of the squadron that captured New Orleans, and Savannah daily expects an attack from the victors of Fort Pulaski. Charles ton, until the fate of the other two cities is decided, remains unassailed. Until within the last two or three weeks the Federal armies were reputed to amount to 700,000 men. The grounds for this belief, on the part of the Government, were that Mr. Chase had to provide means for stores, rations, and daily pay for that large number, but it appears that the real force under M'Clellan, M'Dowell, Banks, Halleck, Mitchell, Butler, Hunter, and others amounts to 540,000, and that they are insufficient for the double work of conquering the South and afterwards holding it in military subjeetion. It is not five weeks since offi cial notification was made that the ranks of the army were full, and that no more volunteers were required. Within the last few days the Secretary of War has telegraphed to the Governors of all the Northern and Western States for volunteers to complete the roll of 700,000 men. The Governors of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Vermont, and other New England States have promptly responded to the call, and promised, by telegraph, the quota required. There is little room for doubt that all the men asked for will be duly forthcoming. There is so general a stagnation of all trade and business but that dependent on the wants of the army and the navy, and consequently so large a number of un employed people in the streets of the great cities, as well as such an inflation of martial ardour in the minds of the "rowdy" class, that the Government could easily raise a far larger supplemental army, especially while it continues to offer to the volunteer such a liberal bounty as 100 dols., to be paid at the end of the war if he survives its perils, or to his legal representatives if he die on the field of battle or of wounds received or disease contracted in the service, besides the handsome pay of 50c. per diem and rations. This payment, to say nothing of the bounty, is about ls. a-day in excess of the sum awarded to the British soldier, and about three times as much as it costs the French Government for each individual prop of the throne of the third Napoleon. The bounty money alone of such an army already stands at £14,000,000 sterling. It is no wonder, under such circumstances, that the few people who are not led away by visions of military glory, or convinced of the necessity of " whipping" the people of one-half of the Republic to impress them with love of Republican institutions as admi nistered by the other, and with approval of a social, political, and commercial partnership with Yankees whom they always despised, and whom they now hate with a bitterness unexampled in modern his tory, begin to share the opinion entertained by out side Englishmen, and everyone else who studies the matter, that the sums to be placed to the debit of the nation within the past year are growing with a far too perilous rapidity, and that, next to being "whipped" by the South, the " whipping" it on such terms is the greatest calamity that could befall a hitherto free and lightly-taxed people. It is true that in the excitement of the struggle the multitude, who have paid no taxes, and fancy they never will, do not yet see anything to complain of, but their turn will come when the war is over, when they will assuredly find, as others have found before them, that the real burden of indebtedness, though nomi nally to be borne by people who have something to lose, will fall with its most crushing severity upon those whose only property is the labour of their hands, A speech delivered this week by Mr. Vorhees, a Democratic member of the House of Representa tives, attacking the policy of the Government, call ing for measures of conciliation, asserting that the debt already incurred in the attempt to subjugate the Southern people amounts to 1,500,000,000 dolls. (X 300,000,000 sterling), and that it is daily aug mented by a military and naval expenditure of 3,000,000 dollars, has strongly excited the flagging attention of the public to the question. It has also called forth a semi-official contradiction from Wash ington, to the effect that the average expenditure of the Government for all purposes, from the Ist of April, 1861, to the Ist of April, 1862, has only been 1,000,000 dollars per diem, or £73,000,000 sterling per annum. This, of itself, is a very large sum, as every British taxpayer knows to his sor row; but if the fact be as stated, it is one so con trary to all preconceived opinions, even of the friends of the Government, and to many well known circumstances of enormous prodigality, plun der, and peculation which start up on every side to contradict it, that Mr. Chase would do well to issue over his own signature, an official statement, sup ported by figures, in order that men of business might test the mattor by the aid of that great and indisputable authority, Mr. Cocker. With out some such statement the estimate of Mr. Vorhees will find credence, if not favour. But debt does not seem to be considered an evil by the war zealots, if the term of payment be remote. "We may point proudly to the fact," says one of the most respectable journals of this city, "that our Government alone, of all the Governments in the world, needs not, in even this great emergency, appeal to strangers for pecuniary support, but gets from its own citizens all it requires. It is surely no small praise of popular Government that when our Government was attacked as no other Government was ever before, and at a time when it was utterly defenceless, the people supported it at once, not only with arms, b ut with money. " The Power that will not bestow on a pe o pl e th e g ift o f see i ng th emse l ves as others see th em does not hint to this writer, and those who agree with him, that he and they are in a fool's paradise, and that they are temporarily pros perous on paper dollars, printed off as fast as the s team-engine can 'work —paper dollars that are issued by the hundred million, and that will be if need be, to serve by the thousand million, The recoil from Europe of the news of M. Mer cier's visit to Richmond, now an old story in the country, is the one great topic of the hour which throws into the shade most other subjects of de bate. There is a good deal of affected indig nation in the papers at the idea that France and England, jointly or separately, should dare to in terfere in the quarrel between South and North in any other way than to persuade the South to lay down its arms and trust to Mr. Lincoln's mercy ; but in that large outer world of which the newspapers of New York do not represent the opinion intervention on the part of France is not looked upon with marked disfavour. If the idea were started by England alone, the whole land would go wild with indignation at her audacity ; but France may do what, in the present temper of the Americans, England must not even hint at. And even now, at the eleventh hour, were the Federal arms to sustain a signal reverse at Corinth or at Richmond, the intervention of France, supported by that of England, to end the struggle by a com promise which should secure the independence of the South, and the settlement of a boundary line to include Virginia, North Carolina, and the other Border States within the Northern Republic, would be hailed with grntaatisfaction by the most clear oismed ova prudent men in me "..a none more than two, or it may be three, members of the Cabinet. Negro slavery is so difficult a ques tion in itself, and Northern opinion is so averse from abolishing it, or being implicated either in its continuance or its downfall, that the very large class of thoughtful persons who before the attack upon Fort Sumter were desirous that the South and its " peculiar institution" should be let go without a struggle, and who thought that a great and free Republic like that in the North would be happier and more prosperous without Slave States than with them, would come round again to their former be lief, forget the indignity done to the flag, and hail a separation as the one thing most to be coveted for the permanent advantage of both parties, and espe cially of the North. The current is strong against the abolition of slavery. The sentiment or instinct of race is more powerful than the Northern idea, which had its root in England, where there are no negroes, and there is no disposition among men, whatever there may be among the women who listen to the ministrations of the Rev. Mr. Ward Beecher and the Rev. Dr. Cheever, either to eman cipate the negroes or to grant them, when free, any rights as citizens. Even the motion of Mr. Chas. Sumner for permitting negroes to act as postmasters and to have charge of the United States' mails has been summarily rejected, amid the applause of a Congress from which all the Southern members have retired—a very significant fact which Europe would do well to study. But while the feeling is strong against abolition, the sentiment is not less strong that much might be done in the South by the interven tion of Europe to remedy some of the most frightful evils of slavery as at present existing. It is urged that predial serfdom, after the Russian fashion, might take the place of slavery ; that the sacrament of marriage should not be violated in the persons of slaves by selling the husband to one master, the wife to another, and the children to a third; that in no case should the negoes be sold without the estate to which they are attached ; that the bank ruptcy or insolvency of the owner should free all the slaves on the plantation ; and that the prohibi tion against their instruction in schools should be removed. By some such system as this, the labour of the negroes might atill be enforced upon the cot ton, rice, and sugar estates, without denial of the most sacred rights of humanity. But the bulk of the Northern people, rabid for the war, do not debate such questions. Their sole cry is, " Union for the sake of Union !" not Union for the sake of peace ; not Union for the sake of liberty for the white man; and least of all Union for the sake of emancipation for the black, It is this cry which betrays the real character of the struggle. It is, in fact, what Lord Russell called it, g , a war for empire." The Northern people desire the restoration of the old Union, even with all its internal elements of weakness and discord, not that they may be free and happy, but that they may be the greatest military and naval Power in Christen dom ; that they may overawe Great Britain and France, and especially Great Britain; that they may be the arbiters of the fate of nations both in the Old World and in the New, that not a gun may be fired in either hemisphere without their consent. They do not avow this in a speech or in print, but they feel it, and know it, and, until some great reverse befall their armies or navies, will continue to make it the moving principle of their thoughts and aspirations. This is the real truth of the matter, let Americans deny it as lustily as they may. OPENING OF THE SOUTHERN PORTS. LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY. At last the direct trade between Liverpool and New Orleans has been reopened, and the pioneer vessel, the Antoinette, a fine sloop of 800 tons, sailed from the Mersey yesterday evening for New Orleans—the only clearance within the past 18 months. The Antoinette had on board a full cargo of salt. She will be succeeded by the Pole Star and other first-class vessels, so that ere long we may have to record a return of the activity which pre viously charterised the trade between this port and New Orleans. The steamer Circassian, recently captured by the Federal blockading fleet, cleared from Liverpool for Havana—ostensibly--but it was well known here, and, indeed, those in com mand of the vessel did not attempt to conceal the affair, that the vessel was to run the block ade if she could. The statement, therefore, that the Circassian was a trader between Bor deaux and Havana is incorrect. The vessel is owned in Liverpoolby a firm well known in the Medi terranean trade. The cargo on board the captured vessel was estimated at about 1,000,000 dollars—a very good day's work for the captor. Now the trade has been reopened, the following instructions, just issued by the Secretary of the Treasury at Washington, will be of interest to 'shippers. The document is addressed to the Fede ral Collector of Customs:— " Treasury Department, May 23. " Sir,—ln pursuance of the provisions of the pro clamation of the President, modifying the blockade of the ports of Beaufort, Port Royal, and New Orleans, and of the regulations of the Secretary to the Treasury, relating to trade with those ports, no articles contraband of war will be permitted to enter either of the said ports, and you will accord ingly refuse clearance to vessels bound for those ports, or either of them, with any such articles on board, until further instructions. You will regard as contraband of war the following articles, viz. :—Cannon, mortars, firearms, pis tols, bombs, grenades, firelocks, flints, matches, powder, saltpetre, balls, bullets, pikes, swords, su:phur, helmets, or boarding caps, sword belts, saddles and bridles (always excepting the quantity of said articles which may be necessary for the defence of the ships, and of those who compose the crew), cartridge bag material, percussion and other caps, clothing adapted for uniforms, resin, sailcloth of all kinds, hemp and cordage, masts, ship's timber, tar and pitch, ardent spirits, military per sons in the service of the enemy, despatches of the enemy, and articles of like character with those spe cially enumerated. You will also refuse clearances to all vessels which, whatever the ostensible desti nations, are believed by you on satisfactory grounds to be intended for ports and places in possession or under control of the insurgents against the United States, or that there is imminent danger that the goods, wares, or merchandise, of whatever descrip tion, laden on such vessel will fall into the posses sion or under the control of such insurgents, and in all cases where, in your judgment, there is ground for apprehension that any goods, wares, or merchan dise shipped at your port, will be used in any way for the aid of the insurgents or the insurrection. You will require substantial security to be given that such goods, wares, or merchandise shall not be trans ported to any place under insurrectionary control, and shall not be used in any way for the aid. and comfort of such insurgents. You will be especially careful, on application for clearances, to require bonds with sufficient sureties, conditioned for fulfil ling faithfully all conditions imposed by law or de partmental regulations from shippers of the follow ing articles to the ports opened, or to any other ports from which they may be easily, and are pro bably intended to be, re-shipped in aid of the exist ing rebellion, viz. :—Liquors of all kinds, coals, iron, lead, copper, tin, brass, telegraph instruments, wire, porous cups, platina, sulphuric acid, zinc, and all other telegraph materials, marine engines, screw propellers, paddlewheels, cylinders, cranks, shafts, boilers, tubes for boilers, fire bars, and every article or any other component part of an engine or boiler, or any article whatever which is, can, or may be come applicable to the manufacture of marine ma chinery or for the armour of vessels. r‘ S. P. CHASE, Secretary of the Treasury." COMMON COUNCIL. Yetod.ra. , y, at 12 o'clonir, *Lo wcuiberiti of the Common Council held a meeting at Guildhall for the despatch of business, Alderman Finnis presid- ing. There was a numerous attendance both of aldermen and commoners. LORD CANNING. Alderman SALOMONS, M.P., pursuant to notice, proceeded to move a resolution in reference to the late Governor-General of India. If, he said, that resolution had called for any power of eloquence or of persuasion, he would not have put himself for ward in the position he had assumed to occupy; but having on a former occasion had the pleasure to originate a motion for the admission of Sir John Lawrence, one of the coadjutors of Lord Canning, to the freedom of the city of London, he thought it would not be disagreeable to the Court, while it would be agreeable to himself, if he sought the honour of nominating Lord Canning for the highest privilege which it was in their power to bestow. (Cheers.) On his way there he had been asked if he had any communication with Lord Canning on the subject. He regretted to say that at present no stranger had an opportunity of communicating with his lordship, for he was confined to his residence by severe indisposition, and had not yet been able to appear in the House of Lords. The rule of Lord Canning, extending over a period of six years, was destined to form a most interestingpage in the history of this country in connection with India. He went there at a time when India was still under the government of the East India Com pany, and remained several months before any event occurred to interest the English people. A change had taken place in the mode of arming our military force there, and a notion had begun to prevail in the Bengal army that a particular substance was to be used for lubricating the Enfield rifle, which many of the Eastern nations regarded with horror, associating with it, as they did, the loss of caste and degradation of their religion. Murmurings were heard and not much attended to until one regiment mutinied ; that regiment was disbanded, and with that it was thought the example of disaffection would end. Shortly afterwards, however, the people of this country and the European population in India were astounded by the mutiny at Meerut, still fresh in the public recollection. At that time the army of England had been weakened by the Crimean war, and that of India was reduced to the lowest possible ehb, a very large portion of it besides being in the Punjab, then lately added to our territory. Regiment after regiment mutinied and in most in stances the officers were murdered. The Indian army had been marked by-one great peculiarity, seeing that it was more plebian than that of her Majesty. The then Government of India, being that of a company of ,English merchants, its pa-: tronage was distributed very much among the middle classes. There was, therefore, hardly any family or class in the kingdom which was not more or less identified with the Bengal arm, mustering some 80,000 men, and hence the great number of people in this country who were affected in their tenderest family relations by the prevailing disaffec tion. It should be said to the honour and force of character of the British people that, notwithstanding all the munitions of war which the rebels in Delhi had at their command and their superior numbers, Delhi succumbed to the constancy and bravery of our troops before they had been reinforced by a single re giment from England. Luckily for us a portion of the army destined to serve in China was inter cepted on its way, and afterwards played an im portant part in the suppression of the mutiny. One might well imagine the anxiety of the Governor General at that crisis, in dealing with a rebellion of such alarming import. On him devolved the responsibility of restraining and punishing the atrocities and barbarities committed by the muti neers, and at the same time to curb the revengeful feelings of our own countrymen, provoked by the massacre at Cawnpore. Tried as he Nuts, more perhaps than any other servant of the Crown had ever been in a distant dependency, he was also assailed both in India and at home. At Calcutta he was censured becaused he refused to confound the innocent with the guilty ; but, in spite of ad- verse comments, he held that his duty was to inflict punishment on those against whom crime had been proved, and not against the general mass of the native army—many of whom were away on leave — who might only be suspected of crime. At home such was the anguish of the people that many re garded a Hindoo simply as a person on whom we were justified in wreaking vengeance. At one time the sobriquet of " Clemency Canning" was applied to the Governor-General ; but Lord Canning had lived to convince those who assailed him how much they had been in the wrong, and he left Calcutta with proofs of devotion from all classes of the people, such as no previous Governor-General had experienced. lie (Alderman Salomons) would read from a Christian publication in India an extract which, though anonymous, was supposed to be from the pen of the Bishop of Calcutt a, who was peen , liarly able from his position to appreciate the cha racter and career of Lord Canning :—" No doubt it was absolutely necessary and most just that swift and stern punishment should follow upon treason and murder. But had the p o p ular outcries policy o Government, it is certain that a deep stain would have rested on the fair fame of England in the eyes of foreign nations, never regarding her with too much goodwill, and in the judgment of pos_ tcrity also. Among the resolute men who saved it from this ignominy , and to whom it is due that the whole history of this mutiny will eto future gene rations a noble example of calmness and Ch r i st i an moderation instead of Pagan vengeance and cruelty, a bright instead of a dark page in our country's annals, the very foremost place belon gs t o L or d annfug. ” (Cheers.) In all the addresses to Lord C an ning, alike from the European and native resi dents in Calcutta, he was described as the saviour of India, and as having done great things not only for the Crown, but for the natives of India them . selves (Hear, hear.) "It is with mingled feelings of respect and gratitude," said the natives of Cal cutta, in their address, " that we call to mind your humane and merciful conduct to our unfortunate, misguided countrymen, exercised at a time when by most men the principles of moderation would have been forgotten. We are grateful for the many liberal measures which have adorned your adminis- t a r n a d ti ou , for inculcated moderation.bthey y o p u r Wn renderedciepll e o s ok of u justice doubly so your dear Econstantly their as one who has saved this country from great im pending calamity. The results are before us ; a mutiny suppressed, public credit maintained, and peace universal." (Hear, hear.) After putting down the mutiny Lord Canning sought to conciliate the natives, and with that view he travelled through the country. He went to Oude in particular, the province which had been most disaffected, and which probably in the first instance had a great share in the rebellion. That province was now admitted to be the most peaceable and the most pros• porous in India. (Hear.) Originally Lord Canning went out to govern India in the name of the East India Company, but on the suppression of the rebel lion the governing power was vested in the Crown, and in the name of her Majesty he issued a proclama tion which still lived in the public recollection, hon ourable as it was to this country and grateful to the native population. Alderman Salomons then briefly adverted to the happy results of the establishment of the new Order of Merit, the Star of India, which had been awarded to some of the native chiefs, and to the part which the Governor- General took in enfranchis ing the land,and afterwards in mitigating thepressure of the famine, which followed on the heels of the mutiny, With the termination of Lord Canning's administration, the apex, as it were, had been placed upon the pyramid; and the honorary freedom of the Corporation of London had been extended to Clyde, Outran', and Lawrence, he (Alderman Salo mons) now asked the Common Council to complete the series by conferring a similar distinction on the saviour of India. He moved accordingly,— " That the freedom of this city, in a gold box of the value of 100 guineas, be presented to Earl Can ning, in grateful recollection of his eminent services while administering the Government of India at a period of great peril, and in appreciation of the con ciliatory and enlightened policy of his subsequent measure for the good government and permanent improvement of that important dependency of the British Crown." (Loud cheers.) Mr. ROWE, in seconding the motion, said it would remain on record, to the everlasting honour of Lord Canning, that after our supremacy in India had been re-established by the bravery of our soldiers, sailors, and civilians, each vying with the other, he tempered justice with mercy, and reinstated the native princes, some of whom perhaps scarcely deserved such clemency. Above all, he never for got that he was the representative of a Christian monarch. His administration throughout was marked by continual trouble. There were first the difficulties inseparable from the dual Govern ments, then the mutiny, afterwards the transfer of the Indian army, and, finally, the famine ; but if his rule was replete with trouble. it was also marked by great conquests and achievements, To the moral force of the illustrious George Canning the emanci pation of our own people from religious disabilities was mainly due, and it was reserved for his son to emancipate the land of India, so that there, as in England, any man might now own a freehold ' (Hear, hear.) The motion was then put and carried with &cola ' mation. THE STREET TRAFFIC. Deputy LOTT brought up a report from the Police Committee, of which he is chairman, embodying suggestions for a bill to confer additional powers on the magistrates to regulate the street traffic within the city of London, for which application is about to be made to Parliament. He explained that the proposed measure was the result of a conference between the Police Committee and the General Purposes Committee of the Court of Aldermen, and of interviews with Sir G. Grey, the Home Secretary. lie stated incidentally, as a proof of the necessity for some fresh legislative enactment on the subject, that on the 25th of March last, between half-past 12 o'clock and half-past 1 in the day, 291 omnibuses passed along Cheapside, and only two along Cannon street. He also alluded to the serious extent to which the traffic in the great thoroughfares was impeded by the practice among the drivers of mon ster vans stopping there to deliver parcels in the little adjacent streets. The proposed measure, he believed, was calculated greatly to conduce to the safety, comfort, and convenience of the citizens, and he moved the adoption of the report. Alderman LAWRENCE reminded the Court that this important question had two sides, and he urged them to take care while regulating the traffic that they did not throw obstacles in the way of the citizens carrying on their various trades. The report, in favour of which Mr. R. N. Philipps spoke, was received and ordered to be printed. BENEVOLENCES. On the recommendation of the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee, and on the motion of Mr. S. YOUNG, jun., its chairman, £lOO was granted to the London Society for Teaching the Blind to Read; £52 10s. to the Guardian Society ; and £lO5 to the City Dispensary. The Court adjourned. THE .REFUSAL OF THE CREW OF A VESSEL TO PROCEED TO AMERICA. PLYMOUTH, THURSDAY. The appeal of the crew of the Columbia came on before the borough magistrates here to-day. On the bench—G. Mennie, Esq. (chairman), I. Skardon, Esq., and Capt. Tracey, R.N. The affair appeared to excite considerable interest, a large number of those interested in maritime pursuits being present. On the case being called, about a dozen of the crew stepped forward. (to the seamen) —You must Magistrate's Clerk elect who is going to present this case to the bench. A seaman named Robert Brown stepped forward and said himself and shipmates had come into the court to know whether they were bound to go t o sea in the vessel when they had every reason to believe that it was intended she should run the blockade , they at the same time not havin g shi pp e d f or any such. Captain Tracey-1s this a subterfuge n ow to get rid of the voyage ? Brown—No. C r your captain know you are a Coming a ged ta Brown—We have leave ; i n f act we are dis charged, T here Tracey—Does but we want t o b e sent home to Scotlan d , c where we belong. Their worships decided that they could not hear the case unless the captain was present. The men could have a summons to enforce his appearance if they thought proper. They said that was English law, and refused to hear anything further at present. The men then retired. The Columbia lies along Millbay Pier in the Great Western Docks. Amongst her cargo she has a large quantity of shell, powder, guns, and other war ma terial. It is said that she was refused a clearance in London for her destination, but procured one at Hamburgh. Immediately after her leaving Ham burgh, the crew having discovered her real charac ter, the majority struck work, and left the officers and the rest of the crew to bring her here. They are now discharged, and inquiries are being made by her officers for stokers and seamen who are wil ling to risk the venture, to fill their places. The Columbia is very neatly moulded, and well fitted up and found. She is brig rigg ed and pierced j with eight po r ts, but has deck houses, and bears altogether more the aspect of being fitted for speed than fighting. It is said that a report of her sailing at has been forwarded from t h e A m erican co nsul Hamburg to the Federal authorities. _ Private and Landlord, t o his Sergeant and Tenant (aside). "Look here, Mr. Slangbam) if you come down upon me so sharp at drill, I'll, --blowed if I don't raise your rent in"--.Poncl, The National Society for promoting the EI tion of the Poor upon Christian Princjoles held ito 51st annual general meeting yesterday in Willis's Rooms, when the Archbishop of York presided. Amongst those present we noticed the Bi e bop of London, the Bishop of St. Asaph, the Bishop or Lichfield, the Bishop of St David's, the Earl of Shrewsbury, Archdeacon St. Clair, the Rev. Canori Harvey, Sir S. K. Slauttleworth, Mr. Hubbard, M.P., Mr. Walter, M.P., the Rev. R. Burgess, &c. The committee in their report remarked on the success which had attended the special efforts which marked the 50th anniversary of the society, the result of which had been an addition to its income for the year, and also a more general appreciation of the services which it had rendered to Chul'cle education. They had aided the work of school building according to the scale of grants in force last year, the - number of casts being 156—ari in crease en that vo:f'd. The proportion of cascs lit which no assista nco c,'as received from the Com- mittee of Council on Eduction was larger than iu the preceding year. Since !Ile last audit the treasurer had been authorised to Pay £ 4,541 on account of 175 schoolroonls, calculated to accommodate 19,451 children, an d 80 teachers' residences, which had bees? com pleted. The total number of schools nc;ited to the society, without including those in union only with diocesan boards, was now 11,900, of which 184 had been added during the past year. The committee were glad to find that for the present the pecuniary arrangements be tween the Committee of Council and the training schools was not to be disturbed. The committee: had continued during the past year to vote to such of the diocesan boards as had co-operated with the society a sum of money to meet a like sum set Apart by the board, the joint fund being distributed by the board towards providing schools with books, materials, and apparatus. They had also enter tained applications for assistance of the same kind from managers of schools in those dioceses in which the boards of education had not co-operated with the society. They had not, however, been able lo meet all the applications submitted to them. The usual steady increase of business in the depository had been maintained, the sales during the past year having amounted to upwards of £26,000, being nearly £2,000 in advance of those of the preceding year. Specimens of the society's publications, and of models of articles of school furniture most com monly in use, were now exhibited in the educational department of the International Exhibition. The local depots continued for the most part to maintain their efficiency ; and during the past year grants had been made for establishing depots at Halifax and Warrington. As regarded the Welsh educa tion fund, the committee regretted the reduction in the contributions—which had amounted only yearly, on an average of the last three years, to £1,200, and they regretted it the more as there had been recently manifested on the part of the State a disposition to limit the grants hitherto made for the support of training schools. The reports of the diocesan boards showed that a keen interest was felt throughout the country as to the operation of the revised code, and most of the boards had memorialised the Committee of Coun cil against the proposed changes. Diocesan inspec tion had been well maintained wherever it had been set on foot, and there was a steady and increasing demand for the forms of inspection furnished by the society. Last year grants had been voted in aid of the erection of two additional training schools, which, when completed, would make the number of diocesan institutions 20-9 for masters, and 11 for mistresses, exclusive of 3 belonging to the society, 2 in Wales, and 4 others connected with the Church of England. Those institutions accommodated last year 979 male, and 860 female pupils. Referring to the Committee of Council on Education the com mittee regretted they had been compelled during the past 3 ear to remonstrate with the Lord Presi dent on several cases in England where a grant in aid of building a church school had been refused, because the chance of union with the society, which would be inconsistent with the "Conscience Clause," was proposed to be inserted in the trust deed—the cases being those of country parishes in which two schools could scarcely be maintained, and in which a certain portion of the population was returned as not belonging to the Church of England. It seemed just that a grant should, in such cases, be voted pro portionate to the number of children in the parish whose parents desired they should be brought Ill ) in the religious tenets of the Church of England. Tho committee thus alluded to the revised code : " The code, however, after three modifications, has now been acquiesced in by the House of Commons. It is matter of satisfaction that the Order of Council of August 10, 1840, settling the terms on which inspectors for Church of England schools are to be nominated and dismissed, and also the instructions to those inspectors relative to the examination of Church schools in religious teaching, all reference to which was omitted in the revised code in its original shape, are now distinctly recognised as in• force. The committee are persuaded that the clergy' and other managers of Church schools will feel the importance of this recognition. As to other poin the ts of this revised code, the committee share in objections expressed by some of those members of the House of Commons who g ave an unwilling assent to its adoption by the house. In particular they would advert to the large falling•off which they believe will ensue in the number of pupil teachers, and to the consequent difficulties which must ensue to the training schools, which have been built at great cost both to individuals and to the public, and which have been raised to their present condition by the encouragement and the grants of the Privy Council. The committee expect that further and important alterations will be found necessary in the revised code, and they trust that these will be of such a character as to maintain that system of religious education, which they are con vinced is indispensable to the well-being of the country." Mr. Hubbard, ALP the Rev. Edward Monro, of Leeds, Mr. Walter, M . :P., the Rev. R. Gregory, of Lambeth, and the Rev. Canon Miller, subsequently addressed the meeting, in moving and seconding resolutions expressive of the objects of the society, and especially pointing out the neccs6ity of watch ing the future progress of the revised code. A vote of thanks to the right rev. chairman terminated the iroceedings. THE MIDD.ER LET'EL DELUGE.
