MEDICAL ADVICE.—Dr. LA'MERT, Licen tiate of the Royal College of Physicians of Edin burgh, &c., continues to be consulted on the various Dis orders of the Reproductive System, and on the cure of Nervous and Physical Infirmites, resulting from injurious habits or excesses. Some of the circumstances most perniciously affecting future health. vigour, and happiness originate at that early Period of life when the rising human being becomes suscep tible of impressions, which,' according to the prudence and 'vigilance with which his CD TWAT. EDUCATION is superin tended, must inevitably conduce t great good or great evil. The Evrr, arises in chief measure from the prevalence, amongst youth, of vicious and destructive habits, emphati cally indicated, some time ago by the "Times" newspaper, Ns the main cause of the portentous decay of the Mussulman Population in A sia Minor, and which, in more civilised coun tries, leads constantly to unfitness for matrimony, to misery, discontent, and discord between the married, and to the dis -4Ppointment of all the great objects of wedlock. As early error often leaves a deadly sting, the virulence of Nthich iwy not he developed for years, it is the imperative duty of ail w!'o have any reason what ever to feel doubts as to their present or future condition of health to take instant hicasures for ascertaining the fact., in order that the evil, if existing or approaching, may be arrested. Then, even if in jury has reached the most advanced stae . e, perfect restoration to all t.e most precious privileges of life maybe confidently 'expected from the resources of experienced science. Dr. LA'MER'f. M.D., &c., is the only regularly qualified Practitioner, who for a number of years has devoted his entire attention 1,, the influences which affect the fountains of health and functional vigour, and the fulfilment of nuptial obligations. His Treatise on " lf-Preservation " contains 'very information ( n these subjects, and ma y he had from pie Author, or from Mann, 38, Cornhill.

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 Ilypochrondriasis. Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. " Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature. Thts Is the first time, he informs 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 Spermatorrhcea 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 apace 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.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. " The Use and the Abuse of the Turkish Bath.—A very useful pamphlet has been published by Dr. Culverwell, the proprietor of the Turkish Baths in the neighbourhood of the Post-office, which presents to the uninitiated a mass of inte resting information, while those who have already encouraged this new system will derive additional advantage if they observe some of the wactical regulations which the writer .mdeavours to enforce.''—Herald and Standard, N0v.12, 1861. " The Post-office Turkish Baths, 19 St. Martin's-le-Grand. —Dr. Culverwell has already established the reputation of an able nhysician ; he has now proved himself to be a worthy philanthropist. in as far as he has established, in the heart of the City, an institution that more nearly than any disco very of monern days, goes nearer the abolition of thepractice of physic, than any proposition or invention yet established, the Turkish Bath. . . Our object being merely to direct the attention of our City readers to the fact that they possess ene of the best set of baths, at 19, St Martin's-le-Grand, which the country can produce; perfect in all Its a_ppliances, and most admirable in effect. Dr. Culverwell hag fitted up his baths with a degree of elegance, luxury, and refinement, which, considering the space at his disposal, is truly sur prising, while everything that taste or delicacy could desire has been obtained to add to the comfort and luxury of the visitor. . .

The sevsnmlickets still continue to he kold in groat numbers, and the sum taken for them is larger by some £lO,OOO than the amount received at the corresponding period in 1851. Yesterday there was a rehearsal at Exeter-hall of the instrumental music to •be performed at the opening of the Exhibition to-morrow. The band consisted of about four hundred performers, includ ing all the most noted instrumentalists in London. They occupied the body of the hall, facing the orchestra, in the front of which the conductor was stationed, the space behind him being filled by the invited visitors, a large assemblage of ladies and gentlemen, among whom were Earl Granville,' several of the commissioners, and a number of dis tinguished persons interested in the Exhibition., The rehearsal began with "God save the Queen," which, - played by such a band, even without the voices, had a grand effect. Then M. Meyerheer's composition -was rehearsed, the band being con ducted by Mr. Costa, while the composer stood by his side. He was greeted with load applause by the whole assembly. His woe.: may be called au overture in the style of a' triumphal march. Of course it is impossible, on a single- hearing, to give any account of the construction of such a composi tion ; we can only give a vague idea of its general effect. It opens impressively with a few distant sounds from the drums, which at once awake attention ; they are followed by an introductory movement gradually increasing in strength, till the theme of the grand marck is given out by the , full clang of the brazen instruments. In the massive breadth, and full resonant harmony of this move ment, we are reminded of the march in the " Pro phete," but this is still more gorgeous and imposing. Presently the music changes to a grave and solemn strain, as of a funeral dirge. To produce a mourn ful effect the ordinary expedient of resorting to a minor key is not adopted, the whole of this fine passage being major. The measure then becomes rapid and impetuous; our national song, "Role Britannia," is combined and blended with the rhythm and melody of the march with consummate skill and marvellous effect; and in this manner the music is worked up into a climax of astonishing power and grandeur. When this rehearsal, on which. Mr. Costa bestowed great care, was over, Lord Granville addressed a few complimentary words to the composer, expressing the satisfaction of the Commissioners that this national solemnity has been graced with the presence and co-opera tion of an artist of such world-wide cele brity. M. Meyerbeer made a brief and modest reply, at the same time expressed his admi ration at the manner in which the orchestra ' had at first sight executed his work. When it was over Mr. Costa sat down on the platform ; M. Sainton took his place at the conductor's desk; and the instrumental accompaniments of Dr. Bennett's Ode were rehearsed without the vocal parts. They would have been very well had it been a rehearsal and nothing more ; but to perform, before a large audience, the mere accompaniments of a long choral work was placing the composer at a disadvantage. We do not, however, blame anybody for this, as we understand (though no intimation has been given to that effect) that this music is to be fully re hearsed at the Exhibition to-day. Lastly, M. Auber's march was rehearsed, Mr. Costa resuming the baton. It fully realised the expectations of the veteran composer's admirers. It is a splendid work ; clear, brilliant, full of flowing melody and delight ful effects of instrumentation ; redolent of Auber in his brightest and happiest mode. There can be no doubt, --in short,, that these new_cornrcia are anfir.lj. _.,.....4.1.7--...4,61... 15. 4 t - littional celebratit n to which they owe their birth. Marine Forces. The day was unusually flee, - and a large number of spectators were present. . The detachmenta of titne-expired utcn and inva lid troops who arrived from Calcutta, in the East India troopship Holmsdale, 1,520 tons, Capt. W. J. Ferris, were inspected at St. Mary's Barracks, Chat ham, yesterday, previous to the men who have com pleted their period of service going before a Chelser board to be discharged. TheHein:lE4lale sailed from Calcutta on January 14 last, but in going down the Hooghley took the ground, which delayed her some time. Before proceeding her bottom was examined by the divers, and the vessel, havitag been found to have sustained no injury, continued her voyage. The passage to Gravesend, including detentions, occupied 103 days. The troops brought home num bered 184 men of all ranks, together with the fol lowing officers, viz.—Capt. J. B. Campbell, 27th Regiment ; Lieut. G. B. B. Hobart, Royal Artillery; Quartermaster W. J. WoodrUffe, 97th Regiment; and Staff Assist.-Surg. J. F. Deakin, M.D. Col. Sismore, of the Indian Artillery, arrived in the same vessel as passenger. Two men and _one woman died on board during the voyage. LpE: In the evening, between 7 and 8 o'clock, the International Exhibition Chorus (about 520 to a part—in all little short of 2,500 singers) assembled in the same hall, which they so completely filled that, except in the gallery and side balconies, there would have been no room for visitors, had any been in vited. The conductors, MAI. Costa and Sainton, were stationed on a platform in the centre of the area, nearest the orchestra. Nothing but the choral music was tried, and the only accompaniment was on the organ, at which Mr. Brownsmith, of the Sacred Harmonic Society, presided. First we had the National Anthem, the melody of which was sung alternately by the different sections of the chorus (sopranos, tenors, &c.) in unison, till at last the familiar strains burst forth in ample harmony. What we have already said of the orchestra, in alluding to the morning rehearsal, may be applied to the chorus with even stronger emphasis. The deputations from the Sacred Harmonic Society, appointed to select the most competent singers from the various country districts, have performed their difficult task with remarkable judgment. If the chorus of yesterday evening is to be the nucleus of the Handel Festival chorus at the Crystal Palace, all the prodigies yet achieved at those gigantic ex hibitions will be far excelled. We remember no such chorus. The National Anthem is, of eourse, child's play to practised amateurs ; but the unfa miliar harmonies of Professor Bennett's Ode—a work in every sense new and original—offered a severer test. When we say that, with but few stops (and those generally occurring at the pauses be tween the different movements), it was sung from end to end with the utmost smoothness and pre cison, some idea may be formed of the excellence of the choral force which the Sacred Harmonic Society has succeeded in bringing together on this great occasion. Nevertheless, M. Sainton went through the Ode a second time, and, as a matter of course, with proportionately good results. Of the " Hallelujah" and " Amen," which were to follow (under Mr. Costa's guidance), we need say nothing. Both conductors were welcomed with reiterated plaudits from the whole multitude of singers, the reception accorded to M. Sainton amounting to little short of what, in the glowing and occasionally fantastic language of musicians, is termed an " ova tion." Mails for the Channel Islands will be mad© up daily in the General Post-office from the 2d of May. REPRESENTATION OF LAMBETH. Yesterday evening both the candidates who aro at present in the field for the representation of this borough addressed meetings of their friends—Mr. Sleigh at the C amberwell -hall, and Mr. Doulton at the Rosemary Branch, Peckham. The sup porters of both gentlemen express themselves very sanguine of success, and a close struggle is anticipated. There has been some talk during the last day or two of a Conserva tive candidate in the person of Mr. Marcus Beresford, a gentleman who resides in the borough, and who is closely identified with the volunteer movement in the locality, but he has not yet issued an address. THE STOCK OP COTTON.—The considerable re ceipts of cotton at Liverpool last week caused a slight rally in the stock, which, however, continues on the whole to decline. The movement of affairs this month has been as follows as compared with April, 1861 anff'6o - 1862. 1861. 1860 Stock, April 4 .. Bales. Bales.

Deducting the quantities ex ported, the average amount taken for home consumption this year has been 26,741 bales por week as compared with 43,394 bales per week in the first four months of 1861. Not withstanding this great curtailment of operations it will be observed that the stock exhibits an extraordinary decline as compared with 1861 and 1860. This may well be the case, seeing that the total imports to April 25 this year were only 330,212 bales against 1,295,644 bales in the corre sponding period last year, THE SUN, LONDOI2, WEDNESDAY EVEN! :. 0, APRIL 30, - 1862, SPORTING INY EtLIGENCE.

Prophesying seems now to be the order of the day, Dr. Cumming says the world will be at end in about seven years ; but, if report is to be believed, he has taken the lease of a house for twenty-one. The sporting prophets, like the learned doctor, profess to foretell the winner of any great race for a few postage stamps. No matter what horse wins any great event, it will be seen, on referring to their advertisements, the next day, that the winner was the only horse sent, when, in the majority of cases, the horse advzsed was never started at all. The following ex cellent remarks, from the Sporting Life, are worthy of perusal by those who are duped by a large class of sporting tipsters : "Our old acquaintances, the tipsters, seem, to borrow one of their favourite expressions, in " immense form" this sea son. According to their advertisements, they have "sent" the winners of all the great races that ever were. Some of the fraternity even go so far as to declare that they not only reveal winners, but foretell with equal certainty the first, second, and third horses. If we may trust to their announcements, the Two Thousand is over, the Derby has no cause to be run, and the Oaks is a moraLcer tainty for the fortunate mare whose destiny is as well known to these monitors as that the sun will rise on the morrow. A spirit-rapper engaged in summoning " spirits from the vasty deep," is said to have been floored in the midst of his mysteries, by the pertinent inquiry of " J ust tell us what'll win the Derby ?" Here was a poser for the rapper which momentarily discomfited him, but at last he muttered that " a tall chesnut" would win, and as Thor manby carried off the prize that year, the spirit medium boasted of a legitimate success I The tipsters are not so modest as the rapper, They do not hint vaguely, or throw out their prognostications with haziness. Boldly and emphatically they vow that the secrets of the future are no secrets to them, and that for the mere consideration of a few stamps they will name the horse that is to win the Derby, tell the jockey who will be in the saddle, and probably disclose the precise number of lengths by which the " tip " is to pass Mr. Clark at Epsom I Where this now strong community of Turf ad visers has sprung from it is difficult to say, and still more hazardous to guess how they existed prior to devoting their penetrating minds to the affairs of the Turf. Some of the advertisements display considerable ingenuity, but the dodge of borrowing the names of celebrated jockeys has evidently been found a poor and unremunerative artifice, since the press so remorselessly blew upon the expedient. One individual, however, we perceive has taken very high grounds. He calls himself " a gentleman, proprietor of race horses, of great experience and influence upon the Turf," and "wishes to correspond with a few gentlemen who will honourably remunerate him from their winnings." This in gaaiou,s individual, moreover, remarks that he "seldom sends more than one horse (I) for each race, and only advises upon those races that he personally knows some thing about." He is to be addressed Esq., at a quarter of London certainly less aristocratic than Belgravia. It is coming to something when the tipping fraternity write themselves down " esquires," and set up a claim to be considered "proprietors of racehorses" and of "great in fluence upon the turf." By and by we suppose that some of the let will be courting the patronage of the public under the definition of members of the Jockey Club, and we may ere long be startled with the announcement that Lord Glas gow has a " good thing" for his subscribers, which will be transmitted on receipt of thirteen stamps I Without ques tion, the many articles which we have written upon this sub ject have been productive of some good. There is really nothing discreditable in the occupation of these men, if they will only conduct themselves fairly, honestly, and decently. Indeed, we look upon their labours if car ried on in a perfectly reputable and legitimate manner, as really valuable to a large number of the racing public. The Manchester advisers are, perhaps, the best representatives of the class, and the circulars which they issue are the pro ductions of industrious and, we will add, very talented men. Still, the tipping market is flooded with herds of boasting, mendacious fellows who, not content with a genuine suc cess, invest a victory after every important race. If they would only learn that occasional failures are no disgrace and do not shake the confidence of the public, they might t4p a much higher rank, and with additional profit to themselves, They. will riot, however, own to being beaten ; and the very fact that they endeavour to impress this upon the public naturally makes the whole think look like a lie and a swindle'. Some of them are ready to do all sorts of rash things.-4o,•.ii.ive £lO,OOO to a charity, if they did not "spot" the fatet winner for months before the weights appeared, or Pertaps before the horse was foaled I What is the result? - "Ce4aiu of their subscribers who did not get the "final" aritllatl6ged correct " tip" write us in dignation letters, and.tlM4urder is out. Many of these advisers, unquestionably,: by t e.gme means, now and then get hold of goodish thingif,.and for which we do not epics tion they get handsomely 'rewarded. If they possessed a better knowledge of publiw)pinion, they would find that puffing extravagitntly 'tuts its own end. Merit and genuineness will make their own way, and it is only the rank impostor who needg to be perpetually blowing his own trumpet," fIIIE ARMY. The Tribune EereW frigate, Capt.Viseoutit Gillord, sailed fur Vancouver's Island, calling in at Ply mouth Sound, from Shithead at 2 p.m. yesterday. Vice-Admiral the lion. Sir F.W. Grey and Mr. S. Whitbread, M.P.,"who have been inspecting the dock accommodation at Malta and Gibraltar, and who arrived at Plymouth, on Sunday, performed a similar duty at Devonport on Monday, and left in the afternoon by the South Devon Railway for Pad dington. While at Devonport tho attention of their Lordships was directed more especially to the steam yard at Keyham and the Government property ad joining. The works of Keyham steamyard cover at present a space of 70 acres ; the lately acquired land may have an equal area. It is bounded on the south by the boiler-shop and other erections belong ing to the yard, and by Keyham Lake ; on the west by Hamoaze; on the east the boundary runs in a line with the wall of the yard ; and on the north the land extends to Western-mill Lake. The only building designed at present to be erected on this land is the barrack for the Naval Brigade. Considerable alterations are, however, to be made in Keyham steamyard, which does not possess suf ficient capacity for the reception and accommoda tion of a ship of the length and draught of water of the Warrior. This deficiency is to be rectified in a very ingenious manner. The entrance to the Key ham lock is 37 feet deep, but is only 255 feet long, and cannot receive a sbip_longer than the Reypnge, which is 244 feet nine inches ,onlhe gun deck, or the GrilaK,altar i 2s2 feet. .These shirk are 25 feet longer over all, so that when the inner caisson of the entrance lock has to be floated to admit. either into the basin it will be readily seen that there are not many inches to spare. This caisson is not used when the Himalaya has to be &lied: She is_34l feet long, and draws from 19 to' 23 feet. The draught of the Gibraltar and Revenge, with their stores, is about 25 feet; but for the extra draught of the Warrior she could be placed in , the basin in the same way as the Himalaya.• The water, however, in the basin cannot ,be raised above 28 feet 6 inches without danger. , This danger would be greatly increased if all'the water in the basin' and lock were raised to the 'required height and allowed to bear against one moveable bar rier only—viz a the telescope caisson, which protects the western or outer end of .the lock from the sea in Hamoaze. The ingenious mode intended for adoption is its follows :—The cill of the inner end of the entrance lock, where the inner caisson is fitted, is only 28 feet deep—the same depth as the basin. The cill is to be lowered 'nine feet, to a level with the lock itself, , and this deepening is to be carried into the basin by what is termed a tronc or canal, 400 feet long, which will be sufficient to ye ceive the Warrior. When the deepening is com plete the . junction between the lock and the basin will be'closed by the caisson, and Water, in sufficient quantity; Will be pumped in by the stationary en gino on the establishment to float the iron-plated ship over the shallower portion of the basin into the Queen's. 'dock,. which will be lengthened 1.40 feet while i the eanal. is being excavated. The bot tom of the basin is formed of slate rock, and the cutting;Onho tronc or canal can be . therefore exe cuted withouefear of injury to the south wall. The side of the Anal w ill not commence 'close to the wall, butlrome feet off, and then shelve doWn; the deepest pvt, to afeceive the keel r being, of course, at a very safe distance.. The present- sluices-.in this basin are connected with the sea wall, and are nine or ten feet above the bottom. As the residuum cannot eica * iie'ty this means, the water is always in an offensiib condition. The construction of the pro posed Canal Will probably remedy this serious de fect. The basin is's6l feet wide east and west by 630 feet in length north and south, or covers about eight square acres. On its e!asyn side there are three ..docks—viz., No. 1, origin4ly 356 feet long, lengtflenea auout curets Years'EtNee to 381 feet to', recrive the Himalaya ; No. 2 dock, 310 feet ; and No. 3, or the Queen's Dock, 310 feet long, which is to be lengthened 100 feet, as preyiously stated, to receive the Warrior. Keyham Lake, already referred to as being on the north of the present yard, would, it is said, form an excellent position for one or two docks of any required length. Nature appears to have pre pared for that purpose. Comparatively speaking little excavation would be necessary. The mud is about (30 feet deep. In the event of the Govern ment obtaining possession of Western Mill Lake (about 50 acres), always dry at half•tide, and now almost useless, it might be found available for docks of any magnitude. The mud here is of great depth. This creek is now the only intervening space be tween the recent purchase north of Keyham and the land belonging to the Imperial Powder-works at Bull Point. The Government, should they ob tain it, would then possess the eastern shore of Hamoaze, from SaHash to Devonport, excepting a portion occupied by that part of the town. Under the houses there is, however, exclusive communi cation by a tunnel, which will shortly have a branch connecting the Gun-wharf with the Devonport dockyard on the one hand, and Keyham steamyard on the other. In the construction of any new docks two evils which exist at Keyham will, it is hoped, be modified. The entrance to the lock is at right angles with llamoaze, in which the tide sets up and down occasionally with great velocity, and makes the approach of a ship, especially if a long one, both difficult and dangerous. The other evil consists in having the largest dock (No. 3) not in a straight line with the entrance. If No. 1 dock, which is immediately opposite, had been the largest, the canal would have been carried right on end to it and the dangerous necessity of raising the water by pumping into the basin would have been avoided. THE NAVY. The following is extracted from a letter which has been received from an officer of the Royal Marine Battalion (British), lately attached to the Mexican allied expedition, and is dated Bermuda, April 8 : "The head quarters, six companies with the artil lery detachment, of our battalion arrived here in H,M,S. Donegal and Sanspareil, on the 26th and 28th March respectively. Commodore Dunlop, on his own responsibility, decided on sending us to Bermuda, keeping 150 men—about two companies —to 'assist in garrisoning the castle and forts of Vera Cruz. It is hard to say, and sad to think, what may have been their losses since we left them. We have lost in the battalion 35 men from deaths, but no officers, and have now several bad and doubtful cases on shore. Many are so debilitated that they must be invalided as soon as possible. Intermittent fever, followed by dysentery, has been the cause of our losses, and when the latter succeeds the former, the case generally ends fatally. No yellow fever has appeared as yet. We are now waiting orders from England, and expect to leave for home in about a fortnight in the Sanspareil, the ship that brought us out to Mexico. The Admiral is here in the screw liner Nile, together with the following ships :- 1 )onegal, hero, Sanspareil, and Agamemnon, screw liners ; Orlando, screw frigate ; Spiteful, paddle ; Nimble and Landrail, screw gun vessels; and Terror, iron floating battery, The Orlando is still in the basin refitting and repairing damages sustained on her outward voyage from England. The Spiteful sails in a day or two for Jamaica, and the Nim ble starts from here to-morrow for Halifax with the mails for England, which will bo taken on thence by packet. We are quartered on board the Medway hulk, and our sick occupy the Quaran tine Hospital on Ports Island. We were placed in quarantine for a few days on our first arrival from Vera Cruz, but were soon released again." The Royal Marine Artillery and Light Infantry at Portsmouth were brigaded yesterday on South sea-common, under the inspection of Major-Gen. A. B. Stranshaw, C. 8., Deputy-Adjt. - Gen. of the '~ THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. Looking to the present state of the building, it is rather difficult to realise the fact that the Exhibi tion is to be opened to-morrow. If the Commis sioners had at their command one of those familiar spirits we read of in the stories of diablerie, who were Perpetnally . toliifehtink their masters for em ployment, the chaos which at present reigns almost supreme might, perhaps, be reduced to order suffi cient to make a yay.for: the procession; but at pre sent the task seems almost beyond the power of mortal hands. Still; Should the executive staff, who have begun to grapple with the work, at last suc ceed in 'driving a clear passage through the inzpedi• nzenta which lie strewed in every direction, so much the greater will be their credit. Yesterday, to move about the building was a very delicate matter, and required more circumspection than was altogether consistent with a proper observance of the progress which was being made in the arrangement of the articles to be exhibited. It was, perhaps, not so very hard to steer clear of the empty packing cases, of the rolls of 'matting, and vast piles of chairs which met one at every turn, nor for people mode rately active and sure-footed was it any great trial to surmount the frequent hills of large planks and timber. ; but these were" only a few of tfie perils and inconveniences of the way. If at one point you started back to avoid running headforemost through a sheet of plateglass which stood .reared up almost invisible in your path, it was at the risk of receiv ino in your spine the point of another square which the not very careful workmen were conveying to its • destined place. Here you had to pick your wa r y through a litter of the most delicate glass or china—there it was with the utmost caution that you missed damaging- some recumbent statue just emerged fromits •cOffin-like case, and waiting to be hoisted to its appropriate pedestal. • Great chasms in the floor at various points taxed your vigilance to the utmost, and occasionally it was only by un remitting agility that you escaped being swept away by the zealous. Commissionaires ; who were clearing out the building of the vast mounds of waste paper, hay, and straye which have been gradaally accumulating ever slate the unpacking began. The din of hammering wail' incessant and distracting in every quarter, and thick clouds of dust floated through the air visible and palpable as a genuine November fog. It is to be hoped that this plague is but temporary, and that 'it will subside when the process of unpacking and sweeping away is at an end, otherwise it will be unbearable, for it finds its way into the remotest corners; and there is scarcely an article in the Exhibition, though shut up in the closest of cases, which is not covered with it. The V sun, too, is not likely to- a very welcome visitor in 'many of the deprlti .e24and if the present ' Tresuivr is to oe any spal men of whet t,,,.. . — t, - expect in the Dog-days, it will be necessary to de vise some kind of awning to protect the visitors from his fierceness. Great progress has been made in filling the cases, particularly in the porcelain departments, and from the display already unfolded it is clear that the exhibition of pottery ware will be one of the most attractive features in the building. A more superb collection of foreign and British ware has never before been brought together. The articles already unpacked by the French and German exhibitors are worthy of their ancient re putation; but when the cases of Messrs. Copeland, Messrs. Minton, and the Worcester manufacturers are disclosed we shall have no reason to blush for our countrymen. There is scarcely any department in which there is greater progress visible since the Exhibition of 1851. The majolica ware of Messrs. Minton already makes a fine show ; and the Royal Pottery Works of Worcester have a case uncovered which for beauty of design and exquisite colouring will stand a comparison with the most famous manufactures of the Continent. Messrs. Copeland's cases are, for the most part, as yet uncovered, but enough of them is visible to show that their display will be magnificent. We shall be much surprised if this part of the Exhibition does not produce a great effect. Messrs. Hancock, Elkington, and others in this class, are beginning to unfold their treasures, and a close survey of both these depart ments, which lie close together, will probably be rather startling to those who have been in the habit of talking disparagingly of the art manufactures of this country. The workmen were busy all day in hanging the colossal chandelier exhibited by Mr. Defries, which bids fair to be one of the most noticeable features in this part of the Exhibition. The French department is at last making rapid progress, and some fine bronzes were ranged in their places yesterday. The talking and singing machine promised for the Austrian department has not yet arrived, but there is not the least doubt that it will be here ultimately. At the risk of furnishing Sir George Bowyer and his friends with one or two sophistical arguments, we must say at once that the Roman Court will be one of the gems of the whole Exhibition. Besides the beautiful statuary which Mr. Doyle has already arranged in a most effective manner, there will be a fine display of Roman mosaics. Yesterday was unpacked a magnificent table, a gift from the Pope to her Majesty ; and Cardinal Antonelli exhibits a superbly carved and gilt casket. His Eminence is said to be an ardent mineralogist, and this beauti ful piece of workmanship is intended for the dis play and custody of the most precious of his speci mens. The arrangements for the opening, as far as they have been settled, remain unchanged up to the present. The throne will be erected under the western dome, though at present no visible pro gress has been made towards it, except clearing away the articles which had been displayed there with so much care and effect.

MTCKEY GANNON AND ASSE HATTON FOR £5O A-SIDE. —The postponed passage of arms between these members of the P.R. took place, pursuant to arrangement, yesterday. The belligerents were not cdnfined to weight, but in this Hatton, who could not have been less than lOst 71b., had the advantage. Gannon, however, who is not more than 20, was at least nine years the younger. The start from the metropolis took place at an early hour in the morning, and, after a pleasantjourney by special, the ring was formed on a well•selected spot, where all was ascertained to be serene. Hatton, who, for one who had seen much service, looked in excellent condition, was first to enter the ring, but had not long to wait before he was joined by his adver sary. Hatton had for his seconds Bob Travers (the Black) and Mike Madden, while Jack Hicks and George Crockett were retained for Gannon, who, though he stated he was well, by no means looked in BO), condition as he might have been. Tae betting had Veal even, but just before the combatants received the finishing touch from their seconds, Gannon offered to lay Jesse 15 to 10. This Hatton declined. At a quarter to nine o'clock the belligerents advanced to the scratch, and at once placed themselves in position. If there was not an exhibition of artistic pohsts, the men, at any rate, fought many of the rounds witl*spirit. Hatton, in the fourth round, gained the two leaiting points. As, however, the battle progressed, we hid - .again a further forcible illustration of the old ring adalie,. youth will be served, for Gannon took a decided lead], 'vhich he main tained to the finish of the contest. There were in the whole 39 rounds, fought in one hour and three minutes, when Hatton, who had received heavily in the last of these bouts, and in the fall had the misfortune to injure his shoulder, was compelled to yield to defeat.t Jesse was a good deal punished about the physiognomy ; Gannon, on the contrary, displayed but a few trifli kg, marks, a proof that though his game opponent was often there," he did not do much execution.

Mr. PEARSON, the City solicitor, called the atten tion of the Court to a report which appeared in the newspapers of that day, of a complaint made by Mr. Shepherd at the Mansion-house justice-room, of what he alleged was an incorrect statement made by Mr. Daw in a case in which a man was charged with stealing a coffin-plate from Barking church yard. He (Mr. Shepherd) said Mr. Daw had been misinformed when he stated that the bodies were removed by the authority of the Bishop of London. A faculty had been granted for altering the church porch, but it did not extend to the removal of the bodies. Mr. Pearson said Mr. Shepherd was quite right when he stated there was no faculty for re moving the bodies. It was not required. The Sewers Act gave the commission the power to remove them upon obtaining the sanction of the Bishop of London ; and he produced an agreement, signed by the Rev. J. Thomas, the vicar of All hallows•parish, and the churchwardens; and also bearit.g the signature of the Bishop of London, con senting to the agreement; and the agreement con tains a plan; of the proposed alterations, not only of the porch, but also of the setting back the churchyard railings.

NEW COURT IN THE KENSINGTON MUSEUDI.,— The authorities at the Kensington Museum having long felt the inconvenience of having thoir art collections dispersed through various rooms and galleries, have just completed a cc urt on the north side of the building, in which they have collected some of the finest specimens of mediaeval art, in cluding the Soulages and Campana collections. The Sou lages are already well known to the visitors, but the Cam • pane sculptures, which are ranged round the cloisters, will be found to be an interesting novelty. This collection consists of 400 specimens of sculpture in marble, terracotta, Della Robbie, &c., in fact, a whole series making the era of what art connoisseurs call the great revival. The court in which these recent acquisitions are placed, is spacious, light, and cheerful, and everything is set in the best posi tion for being seen. It will no doubt bo a great additional attraction to the museum, and will become all the more attractive the more familiar the public become with its con tents. The wine trade of 1861, as taken from W. and A. Gilby's annual circular, appears to have received a great stimulus from the introduction of the reduced duties,French wines in particular, which contributed to the consumption to the extent of 20 per cent. as compared with other wines; and it is stated that Mr. Gladstone's system of assessing the duties on wines according to strength has given univer sal satisfaction. Much of the increase in the use of wines is attributed to the altered fashion of taking light wines at meals in lieu of after-dinner drinking. W. and .4.. G. soli cited the opinion of every member of the medical profession in the United Kingdom, to the extent of 8,000, as to the use of light wines, and their opinion placed beyond doubt the fact that the use of light wines is greatly to be pre ferred to the stronger, and even beer, on account of the medical properties, besides being a step in the direction of sobriety and moderation. The vintages last year in nearly all the wine-growing countries were good, and nearly an average crop was harvested of excellent quality. During the year there were more than 2,000 wine merchants in Lon don paying duty at the Custom-Louse, and the three largest firms out of that great number are—Martinez and Company, 241,274 gallons ; Sandeman, Son, and Company, 218,925 gallons; W. and A. Gilbey, 14C,575 gallons. Murphy, the Irish giant, who died a few days ago at Marseilles, of small-pox, was a native of Killowen, a little village within a mile of Rostrevor, in the county of Down. Before he had completed his 20th year he stood seven feet high, and weighed 20 stone. Having travelled through all the principal countries of Europe, enjoying the company and conversation of the highest and best educated men in the different places where he sojourned, he returned to his native village a highly accomplished gentleman, and so enriched by the gifts of those who patronised him, that he purchased a handsome estate at Killowen, which he left a short time since for arpother tour through Europe. While staying at Marseilles he was seized with small Tox, and after a brief but determined struggle he died in his 26th year, being about 24 stone weight, and within a few inches nine feet high.
