ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRWEA ; with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors In relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis. Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. " Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he infbrms us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrlicea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. " We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."— Dublin Medical Press. London : H. Bailliere, 219, Regent-street. Cure'of Strictures of the Urethra. " 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 professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular.

The first—and ever to my mind the foremost—is that this Southern confede racy is the child of treason—that this scheme was hatched by men who, at the time of doing so, were holding offices under, and were in the pay of, the United States Government, and who made use of their position and influence basely to betray their trust.

A quantity of disinfectants have been sent from Newcastle to take into the pit when the yard seam is opened, and every precaution will be adopted to prevent any further loss of life. The pitmen are conducting themselves in a most creditable manner, Some disturbances was likely to occur yesterday, the more thoughtless and ardent among them finding fault with the arrangements adopted by Mr. Coulson for clearing out the shafts. But when the steadier and more prudent of them explained how matters stood they became satisfied. A large meeting was held among them yesterday upon the pithead, and two of their number were deputed by the body to attend the public meeting to be held today in Newcastle for the purpose of commencing a fund for the relief of the bereaved. Watson, one of the three pitmen whose miraculous escape in the shaft has already been noticed, describes the acci dent in the following words :—" The cage, consist ing of an upper and lower deck, was being drawn up at 20 minutes to 11 o'clock on the morning of Thursday, the 16th inst., with four men on the upper deck—viz., W. Sharp, Geo. Sharp, sen., Geo. Sharp, jun., and Ralph Robson, and four on the lower deck—viz., J. Watson, W. Robinson, W. Bewick, and W. Brown. They had entered the cage at the bottom of the shaft, and their ascent was regular as usual, until they were within a few feet of the bank. Then they heard a great crash above them, and before they could conjecture what it was they felt a heavy substance strike the cage, and the cage at once descended with great velocity. After a momentary perception that they were falling down the shaft, the cage caught the brattice, and was in stantaneously crushed with falling timber. The first blow is supposed to have been given by the fallen beam, and that shock knocked Geo. Sharp, the younger, R. Robson, W. Brown, and W. Bewick out of the cage, and they fell down the pit. As the cage hung oa the brattice, the four men left on it CRYSTAL PALACE BIRD SHOW. To-day an exhibition of canaries and British and foreign cage birds opens at the Crystal Palace, and will remain on view till Wednesday next. The show, if show it may be called, when the en tire aggregation of such small deer could be dis played with almost better effect in any ordinary sized room, takes place in the tropical department of the building, where the little cages are laid out in thin rows and made to go as far as possible under the cir cumstances. There are, in all, 90 classes open to exhibitors, but several have not been filled, and many others are only represented by a couple of little birds, so that, although each warbler is good of its kind, the collection is, on the whole, about the smallest that can well be called a "show," or, if a "show," is ono which any large bird fancier can almost compete with in his own shop. The canaries are the strongest point of the little exhibition. There are a great many varieties of these, from the lean, high-shouldered, ugly mite known as the " Belgian Fancy" down to the full-coloured, well shaped Norwich buffs, the spangled lizards, and mealy mules, the favourites of London dealers. We question, however, if the minute shade of difference which exists between a " longue London" and a "mealy London Fancy" are viewed with deep interest by the public or are even known to any beyond the dealers them selves,and cannot help thinking that just as many visitors would be drawn to Norwood to-day if the show was one of white mice or even guinea-pigs. The tropical department is full of wild singing birds, and yesterday, daring the private view, when there was no crowd of visitors to frighten them, every bird that could sing, either in tree or cage, was tril ling away in harmonious rivalry, straining its little throat to bursting, and making the building echo again. Such a concert is worth a journey to hear, though it is not likely it will be heard to-day, as the crowd of visitors awes them all to silence, and a singing bird that does not sing is even less interest ing than the saucy London sparrows, which chirp under the very cab wheels. Of the show of English birds we cannot say much, as it is neither large nor very varied. There is one cage which contains all the varieties of the finch family—all except the haw finch, a truculent-looking bird with a beak like a meat axe, and which, having the power and not lacking the will to split the skulls of all his brother , finches, is wisely put in a cage by himself. There are a pair of jackdaws which were taken from a nest in England, and singularly enough are, though full grown, of a pale cream colour. These, however, are all the native notabilities, for we cannot count among them a few cages of robins, over the fronts of which, when left alone, it is necessary to drop a merely because their party, which had been too long dominant, had been fairly beaten in a con tested election ; but there can be none among well regulated minds as to their conduct in secretly plot ting against the flag under which they served. Then, don't let us run away with the idea that the South is more friendly to England than the North. My personal experience is that the reverse is nearer the truth. The German and Irish mobs in the North to gain popu sebnleine believe t h e t that t the poli population, the glt u air n erei ci iaat u tyn e s s m t ac i nh o adi n sms a b ey l ooi y ntf e s are t,the w i th beu h tt o hi s nle t d i m l ud e stotor t oo o loo :t u t native Americans, the men who take too little part in politics, but who again and again have saved the commonwealth—cherish any such sentiments. (Great applause.) On the con trary, my firm conviction is that they entertain began to perceive the reality of their situation. Above them the shaft was choked with ruins, below them all was dark, but they heard the sound of weighty material falling. The first idea of the men in the cage was to obtain relief from the yard seam, and Watson, who was uninjured, volunteered to slide down the rape ropes to that place, both the Sharps being much injured in the head and body, and Robinson slightly hurt. Watson slid down accordingly, and soon found his progress stopped by obstructions that have since caused so much trouble. There he found the bruised and wounded bodies of the poor fellows who had fallen, and from whom the breath of life was fast ebbing. George Sharp, the younger, was a member of the Society of Primitive Methodists, to which body Watson also belonged. The two joined in prayer, and while imploring His mercy upon their souls Sharp, Bewick, and Brown yielded up their breath to the God who gave it. Watson now found his own situa tion to be one of difficulty and danger. It was impossible for him to reascend to the suspended cage by means of the rope, and he therefore at tempted to climb up by the pumps but his efforts were unsuccessful. He engaged in prayer, as did also those in the cage above, and in this way the time passed until they were relieved. The first signs of assistance were the sounds of hammering above the obstructing material. In response Watson and his comrades shouted as loudly as they could, and they had the satisfaction of hearing faintly the sound of human voices in reply. At length a ray of light appeared in the obstacle above, and even tually a rope was lowered to the men in the cage. G. Sharp was the first put in the sling, but as he was being drawn up he fell out, and the next instant he was a mangled corpse, lying at the side of Watson, who only noticed him breathe twice after he fell. The other men were drawn up in safety, but Wat son still remained among the dead men below. A rope was then lowered to him, and he began to ascend. But his dangers were not past. He had been exposed to a heavy fall of water, and while he stood pieces Of the ruins fell at intervals around them, but happily not on him. After he was drawn up two fathoms another shower of stones fell around, but happily missed Watson. He then reached the cage, and after getting through that was safely drawn to bank. While in their perilous position the men were only able to make conjectures as to the cause of the accident, and those are somewhat interesting, as affording ground for believing that those immured in the seam would be likely to entertain similar opinions as to the nature of the accident. Watson and his comrades be little screen, lest the wild robins in the Palace should come down and fight them to the death. Among the foreign birds are one or two fine specimens of par rots, lories;coekatoos, mackaws, and paroquets, none of which, however, seem sufficiently impressed by the situation to abate one jot of their usual loquacity and noisiness. For this exhibition about £7O is to be awarded in prizes of from £3 to 10s. among the vari ous competitors. When these and other charges con sequent upon the show have been defrayed, we much question if the company do not find themselves losers by the transaction. A canary show of little more than a hundred birds will not draw down the gene ral public in crowds to Norwood. Even poultry shows do not pay unless in connexion with cattle or dog shows. The latter have been quite new experiments in the way of exhibitions, yet the interest which the public feel in them has been proved by the most severe of all tests—that of financial success. The dog shows at Leeds and Birmingham last year paid largely, though many of the most valuable dogs were withheld from the provincial exhibitions, be cause their owners, not having time to go down and see that they were properly cared for, were not wil ling to trust them. A well-planned and well-ma naged dog •show at the Cr) stal Palace would now pay the company, for to such an exhibition gentle men would send send their best bred bounds, setters, spaniels, bloodhounds, mastiffs, &c. Abroad English dogs have as high a name, and command as high a price as English horses, yet some of our most valued breeds have become totally extinct, and others, not less valuable, are fast becoming so. A dog exhibition at the Crystal Palace will not entirely correct these losses, we quite know, but as it is evident the Company are at their wit's end for shows, when they hope to draw with "London jonques" and " mealy mules," we cannot help diverting their attention to the example which the provinces have set them in this respect, where even the most crude and hur riedly formed dog shows have cleared immense pro fits—profits which would cover ten times over the amount spent to secure the poor display of larks and canaries at Norwood. towards us the same feeling of amity which we entertain towards them, mixed, perhaps, with a little less consideration for our feelings, but a little more respect for our character. In ordinary times these people are too busy to attend to public affairs —in times of danger, last month, for example, their influence has never been wanting. I should like to know who are the representatives of this class down South. It may suit the purpose of the Confederates to use honeyed phrases for the present. Tell me, do you think that there are many in the Congress of slaveowners who do not hate in their hearts that England whose name is a pleasant sound to the black man all over the world ? Tremendous ap plause.) Besides, lam not sure that there exist ill the South the elements which go to form a nation; I know not which of the peculiar customs, either of life in the drawing rooms of New Orleans or life on the plantations of Carolina, deserve a particle of our sympathy. Has not slavery blighted society in all these States, stunted the intellectual growth, and debased the nature of the white man, whilst it bruta lises the negro? There are sights and sounds there to be seen and heard which I cannot think of still— though it is several years since I was in these States —without a shudder; and sorry indeed should I be were Great Britain to step one foot out of her way to assist, or prematurely to recognise, such a confede racy. It is reported that pressure is being brought to bear upon us by France to resist the blockade of the Southern ports, on the ground that it is ineffec tive. But are we to jump to the conclusion that, because some vessels have run it, it should not be recognised ? Have not all blockades been occa sionally run by daring skippers ? The question is whether this blockade is as complete, or nearly c), as is usually the case; and I submit that there is no evidence to the contrary. Then, with regard to forcing a supply of cotton, surely for us to advocate the opening of Charleston or Savannah for this pur pose would be very short-sighted policy. If we aro ever to be independent of these States, now is the time for us to try the experiment ; and better for us lieved that the main engine•work must have fallen, but the thought of the beam having broken never occurred to them at all. They believed, also, that the pump spears had fallen and the shaft was closing in. They were of course aware of the dreadful position of the men in the workings of the pit, and must have been fearfully impressed with the terrible nature of the catastrophe, as they hung, as it were, between life and death. THAMES PURIFICATION AND THE At two o'clock this afternoon the whole of the ruins had fallen below the yard seam and cleared the shaft. When the rubbish fell there was a sud den discharge of gas, which drove the men to bank and filled the shaft 34 fathoms upwards from the yard seam. At this time Mr. Coulson suspended operations for half an hour in order to clear it away, at the expiration of which time he went down and opened a ,door between the staple and the shaft in the high main leading to the return over furnace. Ho subsequently went down to the yard seam to see the state of the shaft, and, the rubbish being all gone, found it compara tively safe. Workmen have now commenced to carry the brattice down to the yard seam to cause ventilation over the bodies. SALMON FISHERIES. A meeting held at Newcastle to-day to consider what should be done to raise a fund for the perma nent relief of the bereaved has been very successful, The Mayor presided, and among the speakers were Sir the Matthewßishop o f White Durham, d Ridley, Earl m.p of . I T ) u h r e h am ' an Earl of Durham was very msch affected. It was ascertained that at least £17,000 would be needed for the d per manent relief of the widows, orphans, and other sufferers. Her Majesty has sent £2OO. The Duke of Northumberland subscribed £3OO ; the Earl of Durham, £200; Sir Matthew White Ridley, £100; Bell Brothers, 100 guineas ; Elswick Ordnance Company, £100; and Sir Wm. G, Armstrong, 50 guineas. It was stated at the meeting that the London Stock Exchange had subscribed £5OO. Before the proceedings had concluded the subscrip- tions from all sources amounted to the noble sum of £4,000. The Duke of Northumberland has offered a piece of land at Earsdon for the interment of the dead. There are hopes that some of the dead bodies will be got to bank to-night--certainly by to-morrow; but Mr. Coulson is extremely careful in having the bratticing complete, so that when the men go into the workings to send up the dead they may take good air with them. The coffins have nearly all arrived from the neigh bouring colleries. There have been but few people out here to day, and scarcely any pitmen. RAPID PROGRESS OF THE LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAY.—OR all the lines of communion- tion hAween this railway and the metropolis the promoters of the line are making rapid progress. This is more parti cularly the case on that part which is in connection with the intended terminus on the site of St. Thomas's Hospital, and that near Blacktriars-bridge. In each of these direc tions during the last week a largo number of houses (above 50) have been sold and are now in course of being cleared away. These premises are situated in the Borough, Union street, and the neighbourhood of the Borough-market. This day, for the purpose of constructing the line to the Black friars-road, Messrs. Pullen, Horne, and Co., by instructions from the directors, will sell above 30 houses in the Wal worth•road and the streets adjoining, viz., Amelia-street, West-street, Hanover-street, &c. In a short time the direc tors will be prepared to put up to auc tion the extensive structure and promisee of St, Thomas's hospital. It appears probable that, before another session of Parliament elapses, the necessary powers will be applied for and granted to a company for the pur pose of utilising the sewage of the Thames, and fertilising the adjacent land therewith. That the scheme will have our very best wishes for its suc cess we need hardly say. We can see no reason why it should not be successful. Even if it were not successful in a pecuniary point of view, as a question of public utility it might be fairly entitled to some support from the Government, if such were required, which, however, we do not at all antici pate. Here, then, at length, would be the extra neous support which our salmon fry require. Let us get rid of the mass of sewage, and salmon will n tr i ees t- so on again abound in our r i v er. To Londoners the river is nothing—is n o t t o b e noi g naf e gn a n r e ee r ds a t. o l lcyk considerationx of young salmon into the river, and th e r i ver might be thoroughly stocked from end t o en d f or £lOO, so there is no difficulty in that directi on . Now, this is not a small question, nor one likely t o be passed by, though at a cursory glance it may is X5O would well would put hundreds of thousands as m anglers, this everyway. is a The very difficulty seem so. What does the reader imagine might be the money value of the Thames salmon ? Taking a fair calculation from other rivers, and looking at the number and extent of its tributaries and their capabilities for spawning, Bz.c., under reasonably fair and favourable management, we might at a rough estimate consider the money-value of salmon in the Thames as equal to about £50,000 per annum. The market being on the spot, and no cost of car riage incurred, we probably considerably under rather than over estimate it. £50,000 a-year re presents a capital of about a million an d a half ster ling created to the country out of nothing. Great has been the cry of late years as to the dearness of salmon in the London market, but we calculate that an increased supply of £50,000 worth of salmon at of pub thefishlessdifficulttocome anglerswaterthethe thought a t advantage i na commercial lie, on which not .a net is allowed, D o not the angler's t h r ' s nerves con test with a 20 or 30 p ounde r in the white foaming wa t er s of Teddington or Sunbury weirs?

The rumour of a further prorogation his given rise to apprehensions which have found utterance in the Ost-Deutsche Mat. To put an end to all uneasiness on this head, the Government has announced that the Reichsrath will resume its sittings at the time originally fixed. to be a little short of our great staplofor six months longer, that its growth in India, Africa, and the West Indies may be encouraged, and so, at a little temporary inconvenience, the cotton manufacture benefitted in all time coming, whilst a blow is dealt at American slavery which it never can recover. The only other matter to which I shall refer is that strange announcement in the Observer newspaper, that England and France, acting on the precedent of Greece, are about to interpose for the pacification of America. It cannot be that a statement so ill- timed—not to say offensive in its terms—has the sanction of her Majesty's Government. We are always too apt to intermeddle in the concerns of foreign nations. At present, in all conscience, we have enough business of this sort on our hands al ready. It will be time enough for us to step in be tween the two contending armies on the Potomac when asked to do so by the parties themselves, and I hope that our rulers know too well the sentiments of the middle classes of this country, and their re presentatives in the House of Commons, to embark in a policy which can only end in embarrassment and humiliation. (Applause.) Ido not venture to touch upon topics so delicate and difficult as the probable termination and result of the civil war, the effect of the financial difficulties in the North upon the contest, and the present remarkable atti tude of political parties at Washington ; but I should be ashamed of myself were I either to feel or express any satisfaction at the probable disrup tbmiuoatnn fvo o rt f he a nugs r es e s p tt u oo b t a l a i ld c l ym i i n re w a h s ic tho unconnectedt c h e e n r ws e a trh r e t ha a ne t dw least i icnh a s s , of free institutions, might have gone on prospering for a great while to come.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 25, 1862. THE NAVY. Rear-Admiral James J. Stopford was yesterday appointed Commander-in-Chief of the East India and China station, in the room of Rear-Admiral Sir James Hope, K.C.B. The Euryalus, 51, screw, was commissioned at Portsmouth yesterday by Capt. Gordon, for the flag of Rear-Admiral Stopford. The paddlewheel steamer Terrible, 22, 800 horse power, Capt. Glasse, C. 8., is being dismantled at Sheerness, where she will be paid off and put out of commission on the 4th of February next. The Pylades, 21, screw corvette, 350-horse power, which was a few weeks since taken into No. 4 dock at Chatham, to undergo repairs preparatory to _ . .. . being brought forward for commission, is now found to be in a very unsound condition. Many of her stern timbers are completely rotten, and her planking both outside and inside, is in the same advanced state of decay. Tier copper has been entirely stripped off. In order to put the vessel in thorough repair, it is said that it will be necessary to have her engines lifted out, for which purpose it is consi dered probable that she will shortly be floated out of dock, and taken alongside the floating sheers in this harbour. So extensive are the repairs re quired, that it is said she will not be completed within six months. The iron-cased steam frigate Caledonia, of 51 guns, is fast progressing, and a sufficient number of workmen are ordered to be set on, to ensure her completion for launching in October next. In consequence of the inadequate accommodation on board the surveying screw steamer Swallow, 9, Master-Commander Wilds, caused by a portion of the vessel being appropriated as a room for the charts and surveying instruments and stores, orders have been received at Sheerness for a poop to be built on the deck for the use of the officers and crew. Orders have also been received for two 20- pounder Armstrong guns, on rear chock carriages, to be supplied to her in lieu of two 24-pounder brass howitzers. Only two-thirds of the usual naval allowance of shot and shell will be furnished to the ship. The work of erecting the poop on the deck is to be prosecuted with as much expedition as possible, in order that the Swallow may proceed to her destination, the coast of Japan, before the setting in of the tremendous storms which are fre quent in those latitudes at certain periods of the year. A return has been prepared by the officials at Chatham Dockyard, for the Admiralty, of the names, tonnage, and horse••power of the various vessels repaired and refitted at that establishment during 1861, the return specifying the number of shipwrights employed on each. The works connected with the fortifications on the western side of Plymouth Sound have been con siderably damaged by the late storms. The con tractor's road, tramway, and landing-place, under Picklecombe Fort, Mount Edgcumbe, have been washed away. Some of the blocks of granite for sustaining the:road weighed three or four tons each. Tho following appointments were made at the Admiralty last evening : Rear-Admiral James John Stopford to be Commander in-Chief on the East India and China station. Lieutenants—John C. Wells, John M. D. Elphinstono, and James E. Hunter, to the Euryalus. Sub-Lieutenants—Osborn H. Parker, M. R. M. Grif fiths, and Frederick Edwards, to the Euryalus. N►asters—William H. Parker, to the Euryalus; William Wallace Vine, confirmed in rank. Second Master—Cuthbert I'. Layton, to the Euryalus. Masters'-Assistants—Thomas J. Kelly and Augustus Pane, to the Euryalus. Assistant-Surgeon Thomas H. Taylor, additional, to the Victory, for Sealark ; Dr. Robert Hague, to the Trafalgar. Assistant Clerk Richard E. Moore, to the Euryalus. Midshipmen—Reginald C. Pole, Vincent J. English, Robert R. Jaifray, Frank G. Denison, and C. W. Atkin son, to the Euryalus; George H. Verner, to the Orpheus. Naval Cadets—Owen F. Glanville, Duncan G. Boys, R. N. Custance, Edward F. M. Davis, and Henry T. G. Tipping, to the Euryalus. Assistant Engineers—G. Metcalf, in the Jackal ; L. J. Croom, in the Cygnet; W, Wivil, in the Indus; G. T, Allison, in the Revenge ; J. C lift, in the Asia, have been pro moted to first-class assist.-engineers. A. Stewart (A), in the Algiers ; C. Lind, in the Mutine ; J. S. Smith, in the Forward ; and J. Hopwood, in the Odin, have been pro moted to acting first-class assistants; John Francis (seco class), to the Shannon, vice Hyde. THE ARMY. The 44th Regiment will leave the camp at Alder shott early on the morning of the 29th inst., by South Western Railway, for Portsmouth, there to embark on board Her Majesty's ship Himalaya for Dublin. It is expected that the 73d Regiment, from Plymouth, will relieve the 45th Regiment in the North Camp. It is understood that the 17th company of Royal Engineers, which has been nearly completed to its proper strength, will be despatched to Dover, to be employed in the repair of the existing fortifications on that important part of the coast. The 4th com pany of Royal Engineers was for some time em ployed on this duty, at Dover, until despatched a short time since to Canada, since which the works have been nearly at a standstill. The headquarters of the 41st Regiment landed at Portsmouth dockyard yesterday from the Isle of Wight, and proceeded on by special train at 6 p.m. for Sheffield. The following gentlemen cadets, who have been gazetted to commissions in the Roy al Engineers, are ordered to join headquarters, Chatham, on the Ist proximo, with the temporary rank of lieut.:— Frederick Firebrace, Alured De Vere Brooke, Jeffrey Llewellyn Morgan, James Robt. M'Cullagh, Malcolm William Rogers, Richard Arthur Sar geaunt, John Yaldon Knowles, George Anslie Lechmere,Aston Whitmore, Albert Eugene Dumm bler, Jeremy Taylor Marshall, Robert John Henry Parker, Henry Loftus Lewis, Henry Champer nowne Beauchamp, Clayton Scudamore, William Osborne, George William Giffard, Leslock Francis Boileau, Charles Edward Pridden, Thomas Brown Blake Savi, William Sedgwick, Andrew Wilson Baird, and Albert Henry Hime. The Government has accepted the tender of Messrs, Lucas Brothers for the erection of the new Cavalry Barracks in extension of Colchester Camp. The original estimate was £52,000, and the amount of the contract is understood to be £49,700. The works are to be completed in 12 months, which will necessitate their commencement as soon a; the weather moderates. A large staff of artizaris and workmen will during the spring and summer be employed on them. The barracks, which are for a regiment of cavalry on the home strength, and are to be formed in blocks affording accommodation for about 72 men each, will be built of red brick, two stories high, except the officers' quarters, which are to be of three stories, the most modern improve ments consistent with economy having been intro duced into the plans. The site of the erections will be the extensive grounds of the Abbey Farm, pur chased two years since by Government, and pos sessing all the requisite facilities both for drainage and water supply. Although these works will ex haust the Parliamentary grant of £60,000 made during the last session it is understood that further sums will be asked for in order to carry out the entire plan, which embraces suitable accommodation for two or three batteries of artillery and a strong body of Royal Engineers. This scheme will bring together various branches of the service, and make Colchester the principal military station of the eastern district of England. A board assembled at the mess hut, T lines, South Camp, Aldershott, on the 22d inst., for the purpose of considering the employment of soldiers in different trades, as suggested by a committee now assembled at the War•ofce, cf which Major- Gee. Craufurd is president. The board consisted of Lieut.-Col. l 3 iNgham, 60th Rifles, president; the senior captain Royal Engineers, the senior captain Ist Brigade, the senior captain 2d Brigade, a Quar termaster Ist Brigade, a Quartermaster 3d Brigade, And the Barrackmuter. THE DREADFUL COLLIIYRY CCIDENT IN NORTHUMBERLAND. SHIELDS, FRIDAY MORNING. The following is a statement, compiled by the clergy and parochial authorities, after a house-to house visitation, of the bereaved families left desti tute by the awful calamity at Hartley Colliery : Widows Children Sisters supported by brothers Orphans .......... Parents supported by sons Aunt supported by nephew 1 Grandmother supported by grandson T0ta1.... The exact number of men and lads killed in the mine is 219. Of the male population employed at this colliery, only 25 remain alive. The fami- lies of the lost men reside in Colliery-row,Quarry row, and Old Hartley, and all day yesterday bene volent persons, including the Bishop of Durham, with his chaplain, and a number of ministers of re- ligion and ladies, went to and fro among the cot tages administering such comfort and consolation as each case required. The immediate wants of the poor people have also been attended to, members of the Society of Friends being very active in that respect. Lord Hastings, who is the owner of the royalty of the mine, has also sent one of his stewards down,from Norfolk with special instructions to see that necessities of the widows and orphans are attended to. The village, denuded as it is almost entirely of its "broad winners," pre. sents an affecting spectacle this morning. The in- teriors of the cottages are neat and clean, furnished, as clock, cmko, most t h p e i t n in h e e n :t s cottages o t t drawers, s are, with the eight-day and the four-post bed with chintz curtains.

" John, George, and Alexander North, lads— leave a father, mother, and two children, 'who have been dependent upon them. " Thomas Pearson, a single man—leaves an in firm father whom he supported. " Duncan Gallagher, and his brother—maintained a widowed mother and sister under le years of age. " William Anderson—the only son who could work of his widowed mother, supported her, and a younger brother and four sisters, all under 16 years of age." These are cases, as will be seen, quite apart from the heavy bereavements suffered by wives and chil dren through loss of husband and parent. The miners of New Hartley have the character of being a remarkably steady and orderly class of workmen. There is not a publichouse within a mile and a quarter of the village, and several of the men were local preachers and class-leaders among the various Methodist communities, and very many of them were pledged abstainers from intoxicating drinks. Mr. Humble, the resident viewer, a calm, self possessed man of the George Stephenson type, has wrought his way to his present position from being an ordinary working hewer. Mr. Charles Carr, the head viewer of the mine, and one of its proprietors, and whose accumulated and almost overwhelming misfortunes every one laments, is highly respected and esteemed in the Northern coal trade. Amos, the lost overman—who every one said would be found at his post whenever the mine been entered, Which was the case, for he ap pears to was have stricken down by death after making the last " jowling"—was a fine fellow; and Tennant, one of the deputies, was a remarkable character: He was a tall, noble-looking man. Some years ago, while this pit was flooded out with water, he fell down the shaft an extraordinary depth ; but, by a wonderful providence he escaped comparatively unhurt. He subsequently emigrated to Australia, whence, after trying his fortune at gold-digging, he returned home to his former employment. Great confidence was placed in the judgment of Amos and the energy of Tennant in bringing the men out of the pit, and into a place secure from the water. This they succeeded in doing, and like true captains of industry, they died at their post. They had struggled up through the furnace drift after the accident, and had hacked and hewn at the obstruc tion in the shaft until Sunday afternoon, when the fall of stone took place in the shaft which drove them away, and they were found lying at the post ' of danger, but the post of duty—the furnace— having died in mortal agony, the men and boys "in by " having subsequently slept quietly away. There will be great difficulty in getting the bodies out of the mine. Fears aro entertained that the water may rise up to the yard seam, and then it might be months before they could be recovered. The dangers and difficulties that have had to be en countered in the shaft have been great, and but for the patience and perseverance of Mr. Coulson, the master sinker, no doubt many lives would have been lost in the shaft, and many weeks more might have elapsed before the real state of things below could have been revealed. Be tween nine and ten o'clock this morning there was another heavy fall of stone heard in the shaft, not from the sides, fortunately, this time, but from among the obstructions, and which went to the bottom. The gas again came away—so much so that the men working in the shaft had immediately to come to bank ; and Mr. Coulson will not allow any more to go down until the shaft is cleared of the gas again. The men who have been down in the shaft also complain of the effluvium that is coming up, as decomposition must be going rapidly on among the dead below. It is hoped that the obstruction in the shaft may to a large extent have been removed by the fall that took place this morning. But that is all conjecture. The canvass bratticing has been completed down to the furnace drift, and it is hoped that if the obstruction has been cleared away to some extent by the fall, and the gas is speedily removed, the brattic ing may be soon got down to the yard seam. Coffins for the dead, which have been made at the neighbourieg collieries, have been brought to the pit this morning. A large number of sheets and other things necessary for bringing the dead decently to bank have also been stored up in readi ness in the school-room. The pitmen belonging to the adjacent collieries, i n Conjunction with the au thorities, have arranged that every decent respect shall be shown to the remains when brought to bank. Strong barricades have been erected; the bodies will be coffined below. They y will be iden tified, if possible, down these also, and the name tea lue re not 'cry ek. 37; n o ted, (1. 3 0 r 6 i o !oil of ezi.. itor, ,ent• of a qor .
