" Feb. 6." o pre hinery The following statement, showing the amount inclu ded in the Army Estimates, 1862-63, for military pur poses at the undermentioned colonies, and showing also the probable amount that will be repaid by the several colonies on the same account, is taken from page 191 of the esti mates, issued yesterday:— • GLOUCESTER, TUESDAY. The nomination of candidates for this city, after the suspension of the writ for two years on account of bribery and general corruption, took place to-day amidst considerable hubbub. As already announced, there were three candidates in the field, and each of them mustered his friends so that the County Hall, where the nomination took place, was cram med to the doors. The proceedings commenced at 11 o'clock, but owing to the uproar and the conti nual interruptions offered to the speakers, did not terminate until nearly three. After the usual formularies had been gone through by the sheriff, the question was put, and the popu lace shouted the names of their favourite candidates, which done, Mr. E. L. KENDALL, merchant, proposed Mr. J. J. Powell, barrister, as a fit and proper person to represent the city in Parliament. Dr. HEARN seoonded the nomination, recom mending Mr. Powell as a man sprung from the people ? and especially as a native of Gloucester. Capt. GUISE nominated the Hon. Charles Paget Fitzhardinge Berkeley as a candidate. Mr. LUCY, merchant, seconded the nomination. The works connected with the fitting and com pletion of the iron frigate Resistance, 18, 600 horse power, are being pushed forward with unabated vigour at Chatham, in order that she may be ready to be undocked by the date ordered; the 16th of March. She has several hundred mechanics of various trades employed on board, the Work in some of the departments being carried on until 10 each night. Her bottom, below the water-line, has been coated with two different descriptions of composi tion, in order to test the merits df each on the iron hull.

Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh; Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, &o. - - _ The above work contains most useful and interesting information on the physiological changes which occur in the Reproductive System during the periods of youth, puberty, and manhood ; and on the due attainment of that degree of functional vigour upon which the hopes of posterity depend. It also points out how all the attributes of Man hood can be preserved to an advanced period of life, how they are lost, and how they can be recovered. It is free from the gross exaggerations, alarming descriptions, and dangerous rena;dics so generally resorted to by persons, who, prac tising with false medical qualifications, inflict most serious injuries, and render judicious treatment frequently abortive. The Author is the only legally qualified practitioner whose name stands an the Medical Register (the only true test of medical qualification), who has been exclu sively engaged for a series of years in the treatment of the various functional disorders of the nervous and reproductive system, owing to the great discoveries of modern science,Ygteill, which, are vh rendered subservient to a rational, simple, and easy mode of treatment.

(Front the Gazette of last evening.) IVAR-OFFICE, F EE. 25. The Queen has been graciously pleased to signify her intention to confer the decoration of the Victoria Cross on the undermentioned officers and non-commissioned officer, whose claims to the same have been submitted to her Majesty'A approval, on account of acts of bravery performed by them in India, as recorded against their several names, viz.:— _ _ . Major Richard Harte Keatinge, Bombay Artillery (now of the Staff Corps)—For having rendered most efficient aid at the assault of Chundairee, in voluntarily leading the column through the breach, which was protected by a heavy cross fire. He was one of the foremost to enter, and was *Averwly wounded in the breach. The column was saved from a serious loss that would probably have resulted, but for Major Heatinge's knowledge of the small path leading across the ditch, which had been examined during the night by himself and a servant, who declined, when re quired, to lead the column, without his master. Hav ing cleared the breach, he led into the fort, where he was struck down by another dangerous wound. The Com mander-in Chief in India states that the success at Chun • dairee was mainly owing to this officer, whose gallantry, really brilliant, he considers was equalled by his ability and devotion. Major Keatinge was at the timers political officer with the 2d Brigade of the Central India Field Force. Capt. James Blair, 2d Bombay Light Cavalry—For hav ing on two occasions distinguished himself by his gallant and daring conduct. 1. On the night of the 12th of August, 1857, at Neemuch, in volunteering to apprehend seven or eight armed mutineers who had shut themselves up for defence in a house, the door of which he burst open. He then rushed in among them, and forced them to escape through the roof; in this encounter he was severely wounded. In spite of his wounds he pursued the fugi tives, but was unable to come up with them, in con sequence of the darkness of the night, 2. On the 23d of October, 1857, at Jeerum, in fighting his way most gallantly through a body of rebels who had literally surrounded him. After breaking the end of his sword on one of their heads, and receiving a severe sword cut on his right arm, he re joined his troop. In this wounded condition, and with no other weapon than the hilt of his broken sword, he put himself at the head of his men, charged the rebels most effectually, and dispersed them. Lieutenant Charles George Baker, Bengal Police Bat talion—For gallant conduct on the occasion of an attack on the rebels at Suhejnee, near Peroo, on the 27th Sept., 1858, which is thus described in this officer's own words :—" The enemy (at the time supposed to have mustered from 900 to 1,000 strong in infantry, with 60 cavalry) advanced. With out exchanging a shot, I at once retired slowly, followed up steadily by the rebel line for 100 yards clear of village or jungle, when, suddenly wheeling about my division into line, with a hearty cheer, we charged into and through the centre of the enemy's line, Lieutenant Broughton, with his detachment, immediately following up the movement, with excellent effect, from his position upon the enemy's left. The rebel right wing, of about 300 men, broke at once, but the centre and left, ob serving the great labour of the horses in crossing the heavy ground, stood, and receiving the charge with repeated volleys, were cut down, or broke only a few yards ahead of the cavalry. From this moment the pursuit was limited to the strongest and best horses of the force, num bering some sixty of all ranks, who, dashing into and swimming a deep and wide nullah, followed the flying enemy through thevillage of Russowlee and its sugar-cane khets, over two miles of swamp, and 500 yards into the thick jungles near Peroo, when, both men and horses being completely exhausted, I sounded the halt and assembly, and, collecting my wounded, returned to the camp at Munjhaen about 6 p.m." The charge ended in the utter defeat of the enemy,. and is refeged to by Lord Clyde, " as deserving of the highest eneomium, on account both of conception and execution." It is also described as having been as gallant as any during the war. Lieutenant William Francis Frederick Waller, 25th Bombay Light Infantry—For great gallantry at the capture by storm of the fortress of Gwalior, on the 20th June, 1858. He and Lieutenant Rose, who was killed, were the only Europeans present, and, with a mere handful of men, they attacked the fortress, climbed on the roof of a house, shot the gunners opposed to them, carried all before them, and took the fort, killing every man in it. Lieut. John Chas. Campbell Daunt, 11th (late 70th) Bengal Native Infantry—Lieut. Daunt and Sergeant Dynen are recommended for conspicuous gallantry in action, on the 22d Oct., 1857, with the mutineers of the Ramgurh Batta lion at Chota Behar, in capturing two guns, particularly the last, when they rushed at and captured it by pistoling the gunners, who were mowing the detachment down with grape, one-third of which was hors-de -combat at the time. Sergeant Denis Dynon, 53d Regiment--Lieutenant Daunt is also recommended for chasing, on the 2d of No vember following, the mutineers of the 32d Bengal Native Infantry across a plain into a rich cultivation, into which he followed them with a few of Rattray's Sikhs. He Laisesuistteannancet f was dangerously wounded in the attempt to drive out a large body of these mutinee rs f rom an enclosure, the pre servation of many, of his party, on thi s occasion, being attributed to his gallantry. Conductor James Miller, Ordnance Depa r t men t, B enga l .—For having, on the 28 th of October, 1857, at g r e a t per sonal/ and carried out of a of, of the late 38th Regiment of Bengal Native Infantry.

Midshipman Arthur Mayo, Indian Navy—For having headed the charge on Nov. 22, 1867, in the engagement be tween the Indian Naval Brigade and the mutineers of the 73d Native Infantry, and Bengal Artillery, when the former was ordered to charge two six-pounders which were keeping up a heavy fire. Mr. Mayo was nearly twenty yards in front of any one else during the advance. --lloll w o:„ .ean y —What multitudes .return this satisfactory reply to in quiries regarding their health ?

Mr. BOUGHTON, Mayor of Gloucester, put in no mination Mr. Richard Potter, of Standish House. Mr. N. T. SMITH seconded it, and while alluding to Mr. Potter's declaration that he would support Lord Palmerston, said Lord Palmerston was as good a Conservative as any iri Gloucester. (A voice— " What do you want to turn him out for then ?") The three candidates then addressed the electors amidst great uproar. Mr. POWELL regretted they could not have their old members, Messrs. Price and Monk, to represent them again ; but if they could not have what they would, they must be content with the best they could get, and he was afraid that, as far he was concerned, they might say that bad was the best. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) The great principle of liberalism was just now in a critical state. It was true the political sea was just now as untroubled as as an island lake, but there could be doubt that the enemies of liberal principles had been long marshal ling their forces, and they saw day by day that in election after election they had been recruiting their strength ; they were only waiting for an opportu nity to make an effort to transfer the Government of the country from the hands of Lord Palmerston to those of Lord Derby. Therefore, liberals must be up and doing. He did not appeal to them on behalf of liberalism ad misericordiani, but he called on them to support liberal principles on account of their in trinsic worth, and to give them not a hesitating but a hearty support, as he should do were he returned to Parliament. (Cheers.) He considered Lord Pal merston and his coadjutor, Earl Russell, the fittest persons to be at the head of the Government at this time. He would support any well considered plan of reform that they might think proper to introduce in some future session of Parliament, and would support the abolition of church rates. Mr. BERKELEY spoke very briefly, owing to the interruptions. Mr. POTTER was also much interrupted, and only a sentence here and there of his speech could be heard. In reference to a charge made against him, that he had been guilty of bribery at the Gloucester election of 1857, he denied it. He reminded them that Mr. Powell had expressed himself on that very platform in terms of admiration of Mr. Bright, and as to his political antagonists, said, " How happy could I be with either, Were t'other dear charmer away." He concluded by calling upon them to poll plumpers for Potter. (Loud cheers and uproar.) The show of hands was declared in favour of Messrs. Powell and Potter, and a poll being de manded for Mr. Berkeley, was fixed for this day (Wednesday). lIIR.DIGBY SEIMOU_R, 111. P., AND THE MIDDLE TEMPLE. Mr. Digby Seymour, on receiving the judgment of the Benchers of the Middle Temple, addressed to them a long protest. Without the evidence, however, the chief part of this protest is unintelli gible. The remark does not apply to the following extract : " You have held 15 meetings, and in no single instance has your Parliament been composed a second time of the same members as any previous Parliament. In point of fact, therefore, I have been tried before 15 different tribunals. Your num bers have been equally irregular, varying from a maximum of 18 to a minimum of 7. One of your number first attended at the fifth meeting, one first at the sixth, two at the ninth, two at the 10th, and one at the 13th. The following is an analysis of the attendance of all the bench :—Two attended 15 meetings, two attended 14, one attended 12, two attended 11, one attended 10, two attended 9, two attended 8, two attended 7, three attended 6, two attended 5, one attended 4, two attended 3, two at tended 2, and two attended 1. Here is certainly a remarkable disregard both of the spirit and letter of the wise rule of the society which requires the at tendance of the same members on every adjourned hearing of an inquiry into an accusation against a barrister. I have no right to penetrate the secrets of your chamber, butl confess I should like to know how many of those who heard the evidence of Mr. Parker and his witnesses took part, and if so, what part, in framing or supporting the observations made with reference to that case. I appeal to those members of the bench who were present at the third meeting whether the mode in which the evi dence of Mr. Parker especially was given did not strongly impress their minds with the impossibility of seriously regarding it. The perusal, more or less careful, of printed evidence (even if it were of the most accurate character), can never supply the place of opinions derived from the hearing of witnesses themselves ; and I cannot help feeling that I have been hardly dealt with if members of the bench who have only formed their conclusion upon the printed reports, intermixed and confused as the various cases are, have joined in reflections which I firmly believe would not have been made, or would have been greatly modified, had they attended the in quiry with greater regularity. It may of course be said that my attention was called to this rule, and that I ought on subsequent occasions to have made objections on the ground of its non-observ ance; but my attention was not called to this rule till so late as the ninth meeting, though it ought to have been mentioned on the second, and it is ob vious that it would, at that time, have placed me in a most invidious attitude to have appealed to this rule with reference to any bencher I might have objected to. I could not, moreover, for a moment have anticipated that members of the bench who had not heard the evidence as to any particular case would have suggested observations, or even joined in a judgment, with reference to that case, of the fairness of which they were not, from this very circumstance, in a proper position to de cide. On this ground, as well as those I have before specified, I beg to enter my solemn protest against that part of your judgment which contains the observations of which I complain, and which, I re joice to know, have not received the unanimous approval of the bench ; and I request that this letter may be recorded along with the judgment. —I have the honour to be, gentlemen, your obedient servant, " Wm. DIGBY SEYMOUR. " P.S.—The foregoing letter was written before I went down to address my constituents at South ampton on Tuesday evening last. The meeting was fixed for 8 o'clock. I arrived at the terminus at 20 minutes to 8. I was then, for the first time, informed that the walls of the town were posted, an d the people, as they went to the meeting, were being liberally supplied with a handbill of which I beg to enclose a copy. I ask the bench whether the pecu liar wording of these four questions, and that so as to convey the most unfavourable construction, does In another published letter Mr. Seymour says " There are other grave matters between myself and the bench, not detailed in this protest, which the publication of the whole proceedings will reveal to the eyes of the profession and the public. I say of ' the whole proceedings,' because the printed report furnished to me is not completn. It does pot eog : :. tain all the evideffce proceedings" of the tenth meeting. It does not contain the whole of the do cumentary evidence put in by myself or my counsel, Mr. Lush, Q.C. It does not contain the names of the benchers who voted for or against the various portions of this judgment.' This is no longer a case for half-publicity. I am now, by the very act of the benchers themselves, entitled to have what I demand—the whole truth made known, ungarbled and unabridged." TIIE ME.RTHY .R COLLIERYEXPLOSION MERTHYR, MONDAY, FEB. 24. The jury summoned by the coroner for inquiry into the cause of this terrible calamity, from the high intelligence and respectability of those com posing it, gives to public feeling here a guarantee that the investigation will be a searching one, and that the verdict will not only be impartial, but such as will promote the interest which the public have in arriving at a truthful conclusion in inquiries of kind. The Coroner (Mr. 0 verton), in addressing thejury, stated that after viewing the bodies he intended adjourning further proceedings in the inquiry to Tuesday, March 4. Some parties:might be disposed to think an adjournment over so long a period un necessary ; but, looking to the importance of the inquiry, he was of opinion that the ends of the in quest would be best promoted by the course he suggested, as it would enable the proper parties to clear away the workings in which the calamity had occurred, and to put it into a proper state for the Government Inspector to examine it more minutely than he had hitherto had an opportunity of doing. The excitement in the public mind naturally con sequent on so terrible a catastrophe as this would by that time be, at least to some extent, allayed, and that would have advantages of a very obvious character in an investigation of this kind. The friends of the unfortunate men also would be better able by this delay to take measures for w atching the proceedings than if they were to. be ca lled upon proposed under to d os o t h . e All, prostration cau s ed by to them to do this terrible blow therefore, he now was to view the bodies, and they would then adjourn to the time he had named. The jury, after being for some hours occupied i n this duty, owing to the number and distance from a each other of tFe residences of th e d ecease d work men,djourned. A. similar inquiry was initiated under the same coroner at the village of Penrhiw, about three miles from Merthyr, where some of the sufferers resided. In this case the coroner adjourned the inquest till the inquiry at Merthyr shall have terminated. As to the cause of this melancholy accident, not an event has turned up to clear away the mystery that hung over it on the very day of its occurrence, and little hope is entertained that this uncertainty will be overcome, at least until the inquest. In the meantime, the Government Inspector, Mr. Evans, is engaged in a scrutinising investigation of the state of the works in which the explosion occurred, and much towards explaining the cause of the acci dent is expected from his labours as soon as the re moval of the ruins will enable him to prosecute his inquiries. Of mere opinions we may mention, as specimens of the many that are offered as to the cause, a " blower of coal," or an evolution of gas arising from greater superincumbent pressure of the rock, which sometimes takes place in the progress of ,working onward ; a fall in the air-ways, and the consequent accumulation of gas, which, on being brought into communication with a light, would give rise to an explosion; insufficient air supply i n proportion to the extension of the workings; or the " gobbey," or accumulation of small coal, on the floor of the level. Till the evidence that will be given at the inquest gives some corroboration of some one of these views they must all be treated as mere conjectures; It is right, however, to add that by practical colliers the accident is regarded as being, to use the words of one of them, "very unaccountable," the pit being looked upon as a " safe " one, the only explosion that occurred in it being about 10 years since, and that unattended with loss of life, while the workings are communi cated with by no less that three pits—a pumping and two winding pits, besides an air flue. It is even said that complaints have been made by the workmen that an excess of air has rendered the workings too cold for them to pursue their daily labours with comfort. _ _ Of the 47 men who have perished on this occa sion, 21 have died from burns, and 26 from suffo. cation by choke-damp. They leave 21 widows and 57 children, of whom six only are able to work. Three widows are near their confinement, while t six widowed mothers are deprived ofietrheeasruepipnocri of sons on whom they deperided , dents in darkthis cataloguepie picture which to the give a deeper T w c e o colouring such as that of a case in which the sufferers are a t h fleaths which record, father and son, and in another in which the wi dowed mother sees the two sons by whom she was supported brought home dead together. The descent to the works to recover the bodies, we are informed, revealed objects more terrible, at least in narrative, in the placid s l ee p induced by the choke-damp than those of acute but necessarily brief suffering from the explosion. In most cases those who died from suffocation appeared to have passed away unconsciously. One unfortunate man was found in a stiffened state, overcome by death in the act of conveying a piece of bread to his mouth ; another with his hand on the small box containing victuals which the collier carries sus pended on his side, as though he were about to add to the portion of cheese found in his mouth a piece of bread. The bodies of some of those who were burnt were found blackened and otherwise dis figured, while the carrying away of doors, the destruction of waggons, and the breaking up of portions of the road and roofs of the level attested the destructive force which marked the progress of the explosion. The burial of the victims by this terriblte catas trophe took place by arrangement simul taneously on Saturday afternoon. mournful was witnessed by the oldestosPinhabitant principal N alino e s ctacle so of Merthyr as this.

The coffins Messrs.

It was Georgetown, in the immediate vici nity of the Cyfarthfa works, that contributed the greater number of victims to this catastrophe, and at the hour referred to almost every street, as well as the surrounding district, contributed its funeral procession. Twelve coffins, each accompanied by seve ral hundreds of mourners, amounting in the aggr egate to some thousands, formed one vast mournful procession to the Cefn Cemetery ; while several groups, two or three in succession, defiled to other burial places in the town or neighbourhood. Among the "Welsh the practice of singing in the funeral procession is common, and the effect on this occasion of several hundred voices singing the mournful strains of the funeral hymn as they approached from the distance was solemn and striking. The screw steam sloop Peterel, 11, just put into commission at Devonport by Commander Watson, will have a complement of 130 caters and min. She was placed yesterday in Keyham Steamyard for the purpose of being coppered. It is reported at Devonport that the damage recently done by the collision of the Great Eastern at Milford with the screw steam coastguard ship Blenheim, 60, is so extensive, that she will have to go round to that arsenal to be repaired.

Muter in command, with the following officers and men on board :—Capts. Farquharson, Archer, Gore, and Black ; Lieuts. Vereker, Algar, Tilford, Brereton, Pauri, Campbell, Cox, Treeve, Meade, and Butler ; Ensigns Butler and Cramer ; Adjt. Murrall, Pay master Fitzpatrick, Quartermaster Storey, Assist.- Surg. Young, Staff Assist. , Surg. Nicholson, at tached to the battalion ; 42 sergeants, 16 buglers, and 639 rank and file. She has also brought home 10 military convicts of sundry corps. The Simoom steamed into Portsmouth harbour from Spithead at high water, and will disembark her freight at the dockyard to-morrow, the 60th marching at 2 p.m. into quarters in the Cambridge barracks, which will be vacated this morning by the 2d (Queen's) Regiment, which leaves Portsmouth at an early hour by the South -Western Railway for Aldershott Camp. The Simoom left the anchorage off the Peiho on the fith of October, 1861, with the present troops on board. She experienced very heavy wea ther in the Formosa Channel, on the evening of the 15th of October. About 100 miles from Hongkong she picked up two boats with the crew of the W. H. Chandler, bark, which vessel had foundered at 3 p.m. on that day. She sailed from Hongkong on the 2d of November, 1861, arrived at Singapore on the 12th, and left on the 16th of November for Mauritius, where she arrived on December 13, sailed again on the 16th, arriving in Simon's Bay January 2,1862, at which time the Narcissus, Brisk, Cossack, Orestes, and Penguin were there. The Simoom left Simon's Bay on the 9th of January, and arrived at St. Helena on the 19th, sailing again the next day, calling in at Ascension and St. Vincent's, at the latter place on February 5, where her Majesty's ship Stromboli and gunboat Spider were at anchor. The Simoom sailed from St. Vincent's for Spithead on the Bth. Lieuts. Anson, Bush, and Webb, and about 230 supernumeraries having embarked on Monday on bard the Himalaya, 6, Capt. Johu Seccombe, in Plymouth Sound, she left in the afternoon for Gibraltar and Malta, after which she will proceed to Alexandria to embark the Japanese Ambassadors for conveyance to England. A pensioner named Brooks, formerly a colour sergeant in the Royal Marines, having been con victed by the magistrates for illegally having in his possession articles of marine clothing, the Lords of the Admiralty have directed that his name be struck off the roll of pensioners, the ex-sergeant thus for feiting £36 per annum. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.) The deaths in London, which had fallen since the end of January, again exhibited an increase in the week that ended last Saturday, when they were 1,415. The mean temperature of the air was 45.4 deg. last week, but in the week that preceded it the mean had fallen as low as 36.2 deg. The average number of deaths for the correspond ing weeks in 10 years, 1852 61, corrected for in crease of population, is 1,426. Though the rate of mortality that prevailed last week was high, as compared with that which rules in many parts of England, it was not high relatively to that which the London registers have sometimes disclosed at year. ears to be on the declin e ; it weekias in 60 cases, diphtheri a i n 13 . was fatal in . exactly th e same h a d e t p ict of Islingto n but typhus was re t urne d i n p r 72 cases.

In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1852-61 the average number (corrected) was 1,994. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.507 in. The barometrical reading at the beginning of the week was 29 . 96 in., and fell to 29.20 in. on Tues day. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 45.4 deg,, which is 7 deg. above the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The mean daily temperature was above the average on every day after Sunday, and on the last five days this excess was from 9 dcg. to 11 deg. The lowest night temperature occurred on Sunday, and was 32.3 deg. The highest day tem perature was 56.3 deg. on Thursday. The range 0 the thermometer in the week was therefore 24 oeg.
