With Practical Observations on the Cure of these Diseases, and on the extraordinary re storative power of LOCAL GALVANISM in Spermatorrhcea, Impotence, and Sterility, in which cases it is applied without pain or danger, and is frequently successful without the aid of medicine. BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Registered Licentilite of the London Society of Apothecaries, Doctor of Medicine of the University of Erlangen, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society. &c. An erroneous impression exists that public announcements on these disorders emanate only from unqualified persons, but as the new Medical Act provides that none but registered practitioners shall assume any medical title, those that are legally qualified can readily be distinguished —a point ofgreat importance in cases where secrecy, confidence, and skill are equally requisite. In the new edition of Self-Preservation,' facts of para mount utility are brought together—facts appealing to the prudence of all who are suffering from affections which in volve the enfeeblement and ultimate loss of those powers without which man forfeits the dignity of nature, and sinks to the most pitiable depths of physical and moral degradation. In cases where the vital essences have been weakened by the influences of tropical climates, by pernicious habits. indiscri minate excesses, improper diet, 'hardship, or by injudicious treatment, the means of cure adopted by the author, in con junction with the application of Local Galvanism, have gene rally been found successful, even in cases where recovery had been pronounced impossible.

The property is situated in the parish of Whittington, near Chesterfield, on a branch of the Midland Railway, and near the Chesterfield Canal. The colliery is raising above 750 tons per week, which is con tracted for by highly respectable firms, whilst the machinery its capable of raising 1,000 tons per week, and as soon as the lower seams are reached, the outlay for which is provided for in the capital of £60,000, at least 2,000 tons per week, inde pendently of the ironstone, will be raised. The present returns from the Land, Colliery, and Iron stone, after all deductions, will give a net profit of 16 per cent. to the Shareholders ; and when the workings are ex tended (within two years) nearly double that profit may be relied on.

ELLICE, M.P., ON THE REFORM BILL. The Right Hon. Edward Ellice has addressed the following letter to his constituents at Coventry: " Arlington-street, March 9. "My dear Mr. Marston,:--I hope you and my other friends who propose to call the meeting on the bill now before Parliament for the reform of the representation will excuse me for declining to attend it. The crisis is one of no ordinary diffi culty. Incidents arise from day to day which may change one's opinion as to the course to be pursued on it, and I intend to remain unfettered by any personal declarations and engagements which may prevent my voting, either on the whole bill or on any details of it, in such a manner as I may think most conducive to the interests of my constituents and the general interests of the country. I will at the same time pay the most respectful deference and attention to any wishes or resolutions the meet ing may express or come to on the subject. " And I desire, according to my old habits, to maintain no reserve with my constituents with respect to the principles or details of the proposed measure, as they are presented to the public, and in so far as I can form an opinion upon them. " There can be no doubt that the bill in its pre sent shape is a very bad one. I shall feel it im possible to support the disfranchisement of the county voters having freeholds in towns—the gene ral alteration of borough boundaries for obvious purposes ; and the revival of a system of non resident voting—l have no faith in voting papers. If other extensions of the franchise are somewhat ca pricious, I have no great dislike to them. I approve cordially, so far as it goes, the transference of 15 seats from small boroughs to large constituencies in England, and, above all, the great object of securing the £lO voters in the counties. " But there is one reason especially why I with hold my absolute condemnation of the bill. It secures their franchises—threatened. by former projects of this description—to our freemen, and provides a special registration for them— to a certain extent an admission, and therefore con firmation, of the principles on which their franchise is founded. Much has been said of the rights of the working classes to share in the representation. I know of no better principle on which they can be extended. From my experience of the manner in which this franchise has been exercised at Coventry, I can testify to the perfect independence and absence of corruption which has characterised all parties, whether supporting or in opposition, voting by virtue of it at our elections, more especially since the Reform and Municipal Reform Bills. " What, then, are the objections beyond those I have stated to the Ministerial Bill ? The limited disfranchisement of small boroughs, and the main tenance of the borough franchise at £lO. On these points my opinions have always been frankly stated to you, and I see no reason for changing them. I should have preferred a larger disfranchisement ; and when the time has arrived, as it must arrive, for lowering the borough franchise, I should infi nitely prefer giving the franchise to all _resident householders paying rates and taxes, than to either a £5 or £6 rental, proposed in Lord J. Russell's last two bills. We shall then have a settlement on principles which may be permanent. Accord ding to my judgment a rental and rating franchise cannot be effected from the different principles of rating in different towns. But I frankly admit my doubt whether the time has yet arrived for the establishment of a household suff rage. More progress in general education, and larger experience of the working of the municipal franchise, will amply compensate for the delay that may be occasioned by anything new, if we can ob tain in this emergency, without the alloy of the ob jectionable clauses, the advantages of the present bill. " There are, then, other considerations, which must be weighed in deciding upon this case. These concessions are offered by the Conservative party, and can be carried with our assistance. No refor mer will deny that they will be so much gained. If the absolute refusal of the bill, even w ith any amendments, is insisted upon, the Government may either dissolve -- which I think improbable— or it may change hands. In the former case, we shall have the country thrown into confusion, and the impediments which now obstruct the revival and prosperity of trade aggravated and increased. In the case of a change of Government we shall have the same proposals of reform repeated as were made in 1852 and 1854, including, probably, the disfranchisement of our freemen, on some abstract principle of uniformity, without the least chance of the authors of the bill being able to carry them ; and an obstruction—while the discussion and agita tion it will excite is going on—of all useful mea sures of social amelioration and improvement. I say the least chance of their being able to carry them, from some knowledge and experience of the state of parties. The party which offers the present bill, and the members whose personal interests or the interests of whose constituents would be affected by the disfranchisements in either of the former bills, are a majority of the house. We have not yet arrived at that state of opinion out of doors which enabled us to override personal interests and objec tions in 1832. " My present impression, therefore, although the case may change from new incidents before the se cond reading. would be to vote for any resolution, in amendment of that reading, condemnatory of the provisions I object to in the bill ; thus giving the Government the option of proceeding with the other clauses !if they please. If no such resolution is proposed, but a question arises for the simple rejec tion of the bill, I shall be inclined to vote for the second reading, with the intention of expunging the objectionable provisions. If they were not expunged, then to vote against the third reading. " I have no objection to your communicating this letter to your friends. They may differ with me, but they will admit I act on no personal grounds, and that, as has been my constant practice, I deal frankly and unreservedly with them. I am wholly opposed to the bill of my good friend Mr. Bright. He appears to me to found his whole proceeding on a fallacy. He insists that the representation should be distributed according to property and population, and thereupon proposes to give the whole power of representation to population. I think all interests should be fairly represented—the various classes of our society—and that the working classes, above all others, should have their full share of the repre sentation. All this can neither be arranged in one day, nor in one bill, but any step taken in the right direction should be secure, and any such step leads necessarily, as it ought to lead, with caution, pru dence, and experience, to a further one to the same end. The differ ence b e t ween thi s coun t ry an d America is that in America the field was prepared for the seed—all was equal; it was a new country, in which new institutions were implanted without disturbing old ones. In this country there are hard old roots in the ground, which will not be easily rooted out--.certainly not without a more painful struggle than any we have yet seen or read of, and we must therefore adapt our cultivation to the circumstances of the soil. We have done much; we must continue to do more. Human progress will go on, and all we can pray for is, that it may proceed under the guidance of good and enlightened men, so as to improve, and not destroy, the institu tions of this best, if still imperfect, state of all human societies. So long as I have the honour to represent you I will do the best to promote progress on this principle; and if this is not satisfactory to my friends, I am always ready to make way for those whom they may think more competent to fulfil the trust they have so long confided to me.— Ever, dear Mr. Marston, yours most faithfully, " EDWARD ELLICE. " W. H. Marston, Esq." IRELAND. DUBLIN, SATURDAY MORNING. THE NEAPOLITAN EXILES. The Cork Reporter of yesterday has the follow ing remarks in reference to the victims of Neapoli tan despotism who have madelreland their temporary resting-place, after 10 years of cruel persecution in their own land : " Yesterday the Mayor, accompanied by . Messrs. Jennings and Nagle, waited on these illustrious sufferers, to carry to them the present amount of our fellow-towsmen's tribute, £lOO. The following gentlemen from among them were chosen to assist according to their need their associates :—The Duke of Caballino, the Baron Poerio, Signor Spavento, Professor of Philosophy. The warmest feelings of kindness were expressed towards our fellow - townsmen, and one of the gentlemen having asked Poerio for his autograph, he wrote as follows : " Having been kindly requested for my auto graph by an honoured gentleman, I cannot better comply with this desire than by expressing to the worthy Mayor of Cork and the citizens of this flourishing city our Anse of the most deep gratitude, in my name and those of my dearest companions in exile. BARONE CARLO POERIO.' " The Examiner, published last night, says " Three of the principal refugees left Cork on Thursday evening for Dublin by the train leaving Cork at 10 10. It is their intention to proceed from Dublin to London. The thee consist of the young mate (Raffaelle Settembrini), who induced the party to come hither, his father, and another of the most important exiles. It is the intention of the remainder to proceed to London after these on Tuesday next, and these three have gone before to make arrangements for their arrival. The father of the mate is to settle in London, while the others are to proceed to Sardinia, where they will remain under the auspices of the Sardinian Government. The Nimrod, one of the Cork Steamship Company's vessels, will convey the residue of this Neapolitan party to London on the day mentioned as fixed on for their departure, Tuesday next." THE PIICENIX CLUB PROSECUTIONS. Up to the despatch of the post yesterday after noon 14 additional witnesses were examined for the prosecution, and even yet there is no symptom of the close of the case for the Crown. A scene similar to that which occurred at the memorable trial of the State prisoners in 1848 happened on Thursday, when two of the witnesses peremptorily refused to give evidence, and, all threats failing to induce them to change their resolution, they were ulti mately committed for contempt of Court. The episode is thus reported in the papers : Daniel Murphy, a respectable-looking young man, was then called up, and the book was handed to him, and the words of the oath repeated by the Clerk of the Crown. He hesitated before kissing the book, but kissed it on being desired to do so by the Clerk of the Crown. He then said—l decline giving any evidence. The Attorney-General—Have you made any in formation ? This is a matter that I have just heard something about. Have you sworn an in formation ? Witness—l have. The Attorney-General—Did I hear you say you refuse to give evidence ? The witness—You did. Do you intend to refuse ?—I do. The Attorney-General—Then I call on, the judge to commit this man. At the trial of Smith O'Brien a man appeared who was contumacious like this man, and refused to give evidence. The present is still a worse case, for this man has made a formal and full information, and he now appears before sworn, tells your lordship answer the questions put to him in 'a court of justice. That man in Smith this that Court, h e w 1 and, l ref refuse b e e T o g O'Brien's case was committed for 12 months for that contempt of Court, but there is a difference between that and the present, because that man made no information, whereas this man did, and he now refuses to give evidence. His lordship—Did you put a question to him P The Attorney-General—l as k e d hi m wou ld he give evidence, and he said no. Mr. O'Hagan, Q.C.—That is not the question. The Att o rney-General—Very well. Did y ou make an information in this case ? Mr. O'Hagan—He has answered already that he did. The Attorney-General--You ought to let him go on. 'Hagan—He has answered the question a l l a r d y The Attorney-General---I must request that, in this matter, order may be obs erve d, an d that I m a y be allowed to go on. Mr. O'Hagan—My interposition is for the pur pose of having order observed, and in order that legal evidence only may be given. The witness has already answered that question. The Attorney-General—My lord, the witness has sworn that he would answer me nothing. His Lordship—Put a question to him. The Attorney-General—Do you know Florence Sullivan ? The Witness—l will answer no questions. Mr. O'Hagan—l again say The Attorney-General —l object to Mr. O'Hagan's interfering. He has no right to interfere. This is a direct insult to the Court. Mr. O'Hagan—lf that information is intended for me--- The Attorney-General—Oh, no, it is intended for the witness. Mr. O'Hagan—l will only ask his lordship to read the information made by that witness. The Witness—l did not intend any insult to the Court. His Lordship, having read the information made by the witness, said—l never met a more gross con tempt of Court. Let the sheriff take him into cus tody. Mr. Clarke—l would suggest to your lordship, that if this party declines to give an answer to the questions, the informer himself declined to answer questions, and— His Lordship—l will not hear counsel on the question. It is a contempt of Court, and. counsel have no right to interfere. The witness then left the table in the custody of the sheriff. Joseph Murphy, another young m an , was then called up. When the book was tendered to him he said—l do not want to give evidence. The Clerk of the Crown—Take the book, sir. The witness took the book, and the oa th h av i ng been repeated to him he hesitated some time before kissing it, and then did so, on being directed to do so by the Clerk of the Crown. The Attorney-General—Are you a brother of the last witness ? The Witness—l am. The Attorney•General—Do you know Florence Sullivan ? The Witness—l decline answering that question. His Lordship—Well, let him be committed. This young man was also removed in custody. The refusal of the witnesses to give evidence, and their committal, occasioned considerable excite ment in the court, and in the vicinity of the court house large crowds soon assembled, among whom it was a topic for discussion and sympathy during the evening. The mother of the witnesses having come to the lodging-house where they had been stopping to inquire respecting them, was informed of the event, and at first exhibited some natural emotion, but immediately recovering went down upon her knees in the presence of several persons, and thanked God and the Virgin Mary that her sons had acted ',so and had not brought disgrace upon their name. The vast mass of evidence which has been given during the four days of the week just closed adds but little to the facts already made known by the preliminary investigation before the magistrates, but some documentary proofs have been put in by the Crown which certainly tend to strengthen the belief that the conspiracy was more deep-rooted than the general public could have supposed at the first discovery of the plot. Indeed, it would now be too great a stretch of credulity to entertain the no tion that the only actors in the affair were beardless boys, who could be best cured of their folly by a sound whipping or a month's drill ekt the treadmill. One of the reports says that there are but two or three witnesses mor e t o b e exam i ned for t h e prose cution, but it is not withi n t h e range of pro b a bili ty that the trial can conclude this week. Yesterday a true bill was fount by the grand jury of the county of Kilkenny against Martin Hawe, one of the Phoenix Club men, arrested in that quarter. The Crown, however, were not in a position to try the case at the present assizes, and an application was made to admit the prisoner to bail, but Baron Richards, having heard the argu ments pro and con., said he would make no order either way, but let the case stand for next assizes. THE LATE LORD MURRAY. Lord Murray, the last of the remarkable coterie of Scotch lawyers whose fame has gone forth over all the world, was the John Archibald Murray who was so beloved by Horner, and. by a multi tude of persons who never saw him, for Hor ner's sake. Various honours fell to him in the ocurse of his life ; but the highest was, un questionably, the place he fills in Horner's Me moirs. There may be, and there must be, to the readers of that book, some surprise that the fine promise of the youthful J. A. Murray came to so little as it did in public life ; but the image, as there fixed, is avert interesting and a veay beautiful one ; and the charm hung about his name and fame to the last. He, Horner, and Lord Webb Seymour were bound in the closest friendship •in their early youth, and till death parted them. The other two, born in 1777 and 1778, died in 1818 and 1819; and all the many years since has the third lived, not only carrying about a vivid remembrance of his lost comrades, but inspiring the same remembrance in others by his presence. He, too, is gone at last; and the fame of that remarkable set of men is turned over to the tongue of tradition and the pen of history. John Archibald Murray was the second son of a judge of the Court of Session, Lord Henderland. His elder brother, Willia m , who never married, re mained in close friendship with his more widely known, but perhaps not abler, younger brother through the whole of their very long lives. John was born in 1780, and was, therefore, two years younger than Francis Horner. By the early letters of the latter we find that Murray was a member of the Literary Society in Edinburgh University at the age of fifteen—that same Literary Society where, at that date, " our friend Brougham" was already making a noise. Metaphysical disputation was the field for the lads—Dugald Stewart being at the height of his fame ; but they all saw that Brougham meant to do something else than split hairs in metaphysical fashion for the rest of his days ; and eager was the speculation as to what that something would be At that early time there was not so much difference between Brougham's, Horner's, and Murray's treatment of common topics ; and it would have required a keen insight to perceive how the two survivors would diverge— the one into abortive extravagance and inconsis tency, and the other into simple mediocrity, while the sound, genuine, fruitful ability was in him who diedia his fortieth year. Our first clear view of the young Murray is dur ing this Unive rs it y season, when homer was pro posing to him that they should "be the Beaumont and Fletcher of metaphysics ;" when they spent their holydays in George -street or at Murrayfield, arguing about Volition, and took long walks in ses sion -time, "describing" the "sensations which con stitute the uneasiness of metaphysical perplexity." As they grew older they joined with Jeffrey, Dr. Thomas Brown, Lord W. Seymour, and others in a scheme for translating the political and philosophi cal writings of Turgot, thus beginning their diver sion from metaphysics by political economy; a study which had such charms for them that we find them interposing it as a treat between classics and che mistry, history, and poetry. Out of all this natu rally grew the Edinburgh Review, to which Murray was a copious contributor at the beginning, when he was only 22. Nothing that he ever wrote or did afterwards, however, makes anything like the im pression caused by his correspondence with Horner. The earnestness without vehemence, the conscien tiousness, the effective thoughtfulness, the gentle, quiet fertility of his intellect, together with the constant, vigilant affectionateness of his temper, make up the most charming image of his early manhood, and set the reader speculating on what must have been the confidence, joy, and hope with which a good father must have contemplated such, a son. It is truly strange that out of such a com pany of fellow-students, most of them devoted to political subjects, and pursuing the legal profession, not one good statesman should have been produced. Horner would have been a great statesman, no doubt, if he had lived a few years. But of Brougham's statesmanship nothing need be said ; and Jeffrey and Murray failed utterly in political life. We suspect that the metaphysics may be considered answerable for this, in great part ; and that the rest is due to the close coterie character of the early' association of these remarkable young men, who reached a certain degree of eminence in law and literature, and then stopped short, nobod could well say why. While the T or i es were in command of the state, it was supposed that opportunity was wanting ; but when the opportunity came, from 1830 onwards, there was no one of the coterie sur viving who had not his fair trial, and did not disap point expectation. Murray studied law, and entered upon the prac tice of his profession at Edinburgh. At the time of the renewal of the war, in 1803, we find him full of military zeal, like the other young lawyers of the day. Horner went to drill every day ; Mackintosh wrote the glorious address of the merchants and bankers of London ; Brougham put out " weekly incitements to patriotism ;" and Murray helped him with something called "the Beacon," now forgotten. They tried to stir up Campbell to produce some lyrics ; and Horner wrote to Murray to advise an appeal of the same sort to Walter Scott, whose " border spirit of chivalry" already marked him out for that service. Murray, however, soon subsided into the function which might be called that of his life—that of furthering whig elections and other interests, in Scotland first, and elsewhere when he could. In 1806 we find him busy canvassing in favour of Lord Henry Petty's Cambridge election, among the Cambridge graduates who had formerly been at Edinburgh, or the students who were there at that time. Electioneering was a serious busi ness in days when a man like Horner could say to his familiar friend, " Write to me often, my dear Murray; one has no pleasure in dwelling upon any public subjects while the liberties and wealth of England are mouldering away, and the institutions of Europe stiffening into barbarism ; but the grati fications of private affection are untouched by these revolutions; and though they give a sadder cast to one's conversation, they cannot impair our confi dence and freedom." In upholding the Whig in terests in Edinburgh, Murray was not only a dili gent guardian of those interests, but distinguished, while young, as a light popular orator, in days of fierce contention and all sorts of discouragement to the Liberal side. The chief aberration of the Edin burgh Whigs, their advocacy of Bonaparte, was fully shared by Murray. In their detestation of the reimposition of the Bourbons upon the French, they fell back upon Napoleon, as the only alterna tive, and exalted him to a degree which, as is well known, damaged the influence of their Review, and impaired public confidence in them as champions of popular liberty. The readers of Scott's Life are aware how the Quarterly Review thence arose ; and also how, when the question was settled by time—when Napoleon was dead, and it was not foreseen that the Bourbons would be again cast out, the irate feelings of the politicians of Edin burgh gave way, and they met occasionally like neighbours and friends, in forgetfulness for the hour of the politics of their lives. There is a pas sage in Scott's Diary, about a dinner at Murray's in the winter of 1827, which is interesting now when the host himself is gone. " Went to dine with John Murray, where met his brother (Henderland), Jeffrey, Cockburn, Rutherfurd, and others of that file. Very pleasant, capital good cheer, and excel lent wine : much laughter and fn. I do not know' how it is, but when I am out with a party of my Opposition friends, the day is often merrier than when with our own set. Is it because they are m cleverer ? Jeffrey and Harry Cockburn are, to be sure, very men;extraordinary to that entirely. yet both parties it is not eet ow w i i n th g I believe a feeling of something like novelty. We have not worn out our jests in daily contact. There is also a disposition on such occasions to be courteous, and of course to be pleased. Murray's sense and achievement of hospitality were always remarkable. This capital dinner was given the year before his marriage. In 1828 he marrietl. ?bliss Rigby, the daughter of a Lancashire merchant (then living in Cheshire), and the niece of Sir George Phillips, of Manchester. His tea-table at St. Stephen's, when he was Lord Advocate—that remarkable tea-table presided over by Lady (then Mrs.) Murray—is well remembered by those who were weekly guests at it. It was a long table, with an enormous and ex cesgyely rid, Edinburgh cake ill th e centre—and such a company round it. When Sydney Smith was in town he was sure to be there ; and the Jeffreys and Dundases, and all the Scotch, with plenty .of English celebrities. The Lord Advocate's chambers were under the same roof with the House of Lords, and in the intervals of the debate, and Commons used to come dropping in for +./ that unique cake, and chat, till the summons to a division called them away, rushing and scrambling like schoolboys at the last stroke of the bell. As a contrast, there was the Murrays' country-house at Strachur, on Loch Fyne. There, in the depth of Highland seclusion, the guests were expected to make themselves perfectly at home, and be as free as the winds. There were guides always at hand for strangers : there was the lake steamer at command, to carry them up to Inverary. At breakfast, there was every sort of fish yielded by the waters of the region ; and at dinner, everything that could be got from mountain or flood—red deer soup, salmon, game pies, grouse, &c. The hospitality of the Mur rays was remarkable everywhere; and their desire to see others happy deepened the concern of their friends at the sorrow which clouded their house. Their only child died early, and with him their bright enjoyment of life went out. Session, re Mr. Murray' s fi rs t o ffi ce was th a t o f Clerk of the Pipe—a sinecu re i n th e S co t c h E xc hequer, given him when the Whig s came i n . Th e office is now abolished. In 1834 he was ma d e L o rd Advocate, and held the appointment fo r fiv e years, without distinguishing himself, or being able to carry his measures. He was evidently no t qua lifi e d f o r poli tical removed, as he held a judge ship early as vracti aship till his death. As a mark of attention, on account of prior services, he was made a baronet at the same time as a judge, that his lady might be cble itfoe the; and Court he wo of movs where titled also. They spent the remaining years of his long life chiefly in Edinburgh, and at their.country seat ; and there were few in the populous parts of Scotland to whom the bland countenance and white hair of the old judge were unknown. We may seem to have devoted a disproportionate space to our notice of a man who failed to distinguish himself when his opportunity came, and whose ability seemed really to be in a course of evapora tion from early manhood onward. But he was the last of a remarkable set of men:who have produced a good deal of effect (though much less than they might have done) on their country. The pall of John Archibald, Lord Murray, covers more than the one last departed. It hides the final glimpse we had of the brilliant period and hopeful company in which this last survivor bore his part, when that life opened before him which disappointed him so strangely. The mighty Edinburgh Whigs who set up the Review are now a tradition; and it is na tural to linger and gaze to the last as the pall is finally spread over what was so full of vitality and promise, and so ever present to the successive poli tical generations of a period of sixty years.—Daily _News. THE NAVY. In addition to the Bulwark, 91, and the Rein ' deer, 16, screw steamers, which have just been commenced at Chatham dockyard, the shipwrights .have begun laying the blocks and trimming the timbers for the Rattlesnake. 20, screw corvette, which is also ordered to be immediately laid down. The Agamemnon, 91, screw steamship, being fitted in the steam basin at Portsmouth for the first-class steam reserve, has got her anchors to her bows, and received her foremast on Saturday. The Havoc screw steam gunboat at Portsmouth, being fitted for foreign service (reported for Van couver's Island) tried her machinery at the mea sured mile in Stokes Bay on Friday last. The Mersey, 40, screw steam-frigate, Captain H. Caldwell, C. 8., at Portsmouth, has shipped a num ber of good hands, who appear to be volunteering for her freely. The paddle-wheel steam-sloop Ardent, 5, Com mander John H. Cave, left Plymouth Sound on Fri day, for Woolwich, to be paid off. The paddle-wheel steam-vessel Advice, Michael C. Raymond, master, from Queenstown, with supernumeraries, arrived at Plymouth on Friday. The paddle-wheel steam-vessel, Avon, 3, tender to the Impregnable, arrived at Plymouth, from Portland, on Friday. The screw steam-ship James Watt, 91, Captain T. Fisher, at Devonport, will require six weeks to get ready. A draught of marines from the Stone house division was embarked on Friday • the re mainder will be draughted from another division. The London, 90, at Devonport, had her main mast, foremast, and bowsprit shipped on Friday. The last boiler was removed from the screw steamship, Nile, 90, Captain Arthur P. E. Wilmot, at Devonport, on Friday. The Royal Albert's boilers will be placed in her as soon as the platform is ready. Steam may be got up in about 8 days. The gunboat Shamrock and steam-tug Confiance wrre taken out of the basin at Keyham on Satur day. The following is an extract of a private letter from her Majesty's ship Victor Emmanuel, at Berehaven, dated the Bth of March :—_ . _ " Our ship and the Orion have this day received orders per telegram from the Admiralty to proceed at once to the Mediterranean. We start at daylight to-morrow." Great activity prevails at Sheerness Dockyard in every department. The Hero, 91 guns, is progressing with all pos sible despatch in her rigging and equipment for sea. The workmen are on unlimited earnings, working until eight o'clock at night. The new screw steamship Edgar, 91 guns, is in dry dock at Sheerness; she has had her screw pro peller fitted complete, and is ready for a trial as far as her engines and machinery are concerned. As soon as she is coppered and put out of dry dock she will proceed on a trial of her engines. The Queen, 116 guns, screw steamship, in dry dock at Sheerness, is in a very forward state for being undocked, and it is expected in 10 days will be quite ready to receive her boilers and engines. The new screw steam frigate Forte, 51 guns, now in dry dock at Sheerness, will be put out of dock on Thursday next (weather permitting). She will proceed on a trial trip of her engines and machinery, and for speed at the measured mile in the West Swin, after which she is to be placed in the second-class of the steam squadron of reserve at Sheerness. The despatch gunboats Reynard and Wrangler, now at Sheerness, fitting for the pendant, will both be ready for being commissioned in a short time. The notices issued a short time ago for the dis missal of a number of artisans and labourers from Woolwich Arsenal have since been cancelled, and on. Saturday a demand was made for a large num ber of extra men, who were accordingly entered on the books of the establishment, for temporary employment, to hasten the completion of the heavy shipments of war stores required for the colonies. The shipwrights' department of Woolwich Dock yard having augmented to a very considerable extent the working establishment, is hastening with all possible despatch the completion of the various ships under construction, as well as making preparations for laying down the two screw steam ships Wolverine and Bristol. The timbers of the Wolverine are cut out and ready for the stocks, and the Bristol, intended to be built under the new Crystal shed, is also commenced. The two appoint ments of assistant-master shipwrights, rendered va cant by the promotion of Mr. Large and Mr. Peak e , are still vacant. Mr. Alfred Sturdee, who has sin ce their departure performed the duties of the two posts, w as on Saturday confirmed to the rank of assistant-master shipwright, and appointed to Portsmouth yard, vice Craddock, promoted to mas ter shipwright of Pembroke yard. On Saturday 37 additional shipwrights were en tered at Chatham dockyard, chiefly from northern ports. The total number of extra shipwrights who have been taken on at Chatham up to the presen t time is only 140, althou g h 300 are required. Commander S. Hodge (1846), was on Saturday promoted to be ca pt a i n on the reser'red list, vice Collier, deceased. THE ARMY. On Saturday, Capt. Norton attended at Bromp ton barracks, Chatham, for the purpose of making some further experiments with his liquid fire rifle shells. In the experiments made on Saturday a liquid fire rifle:shell, adapted to a deep-grooved En field rifle, was fired from a pistol, rifled with the deep grooves, into canvas suspended at the end of the range. On the shell striking the canvas the glass containing the liquid fire was immediately broken, when the piece of canvas became almost instantaneously ignited. The result of the experi ment proved that similar shells constructed by Captain Norton may be fired at long ranges, from the ordinary Enfield rifle, for the purpose of blow ing up the ammunition trains, or setting fire to the camp of an enemy. Captain Norton has presented specimens of these shells to the museum of the United Service Institution, where they can be seen. Orders have been forwarded from the Horse Guards to the head-quarters of the Royal Engineer "'RPATTATION- OF COLOURS TO THE 2.1 ;nAT _ - ROYAL MILLERS. (From the Gibraltar bhrO2iiele'bf March 3.) Yesterday morning this battalion asserntled on the Grand Parade, at 11 o'clock, in the presence of Major• General Rumley and Staff, .to have new colours presented to him. The Alameda and its walks presented a very splendid appearance by the presence, on the parade ground, of the regiment, and the numerous assem blage of the elite of the garrison, as well as a great number of strangers and others to witness the ceremony. Shortly after the above hour, the regiment marched into the square, where heir clean and soldierlike appearance was the theme of admiration by all present. Three sides of a square were then formed, with the new colours crossed on a of drums in the front. Shortly afterwards Major- General Rumley, accompanied by Mrs.- Somerset and the Rev. Charles Moore, Chaplain to the Forces, rode into the square, when the rev. gentleman offered up the following prayers on consecrating the colours : " Present us, 0 Lord, in all our doings with Thy most gracious favour, and further us with Thy continual help ; that in all our works, begun, continued, and ended in Thee, we may glorify Thy holy name, and finally by Thy mercy obtain everlasting life ; through Jesus Christ our Lord." " Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed 'be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us, and lead us not not into temptation, but deliver us from evil." _ . " 0 Lord of Hosts, who doest according to Thy will among the armies of heaven and the inhabitants of earth— grant us Thy blessing at this time, for the sake of Jesu s Christ, 'the Captain of our Salvation,' who having led captivity captive' has 'received gifts for men, even for the rebellious.' " " Nii - ethank Thee that Thou condescendest to employ Thy creatures in carrying out the designs of Thy provi dence, and that Thou hast said them that honour Thee Thou wilt honour. Grant 0 Lord that these colours, now to be presented, may never be unfurled before the enemy, but in the cause of Righteousness. Be Thou the strength of the arms that bear them. Be Thou the shield of the warriors who shall rally around them. And may the officers and soldiers of this regiment be distinguished for that true courage which fears God and knows no other fear. Keep us, we pray Thee, from all vain boasting. ' Not unto us, 0 Lord, not unto us, but unto Thy name give glory for Thy mercy and for Thy truth's sake, whenever Thou goest forth with our armies and grantest them the victory.' " Give Thy blessing to our gracious Sovereign the Queen, and all in authority under her; especially to Thy servant the governor of this garrison. Bless him in his public acts and in his domestic relationships, and be to him at all times and in all circumstances, the God of his strength and his sal vation. Bless our country and its dependencies —our army and our navy—and give success to every effort for the decrease of ignorance and oppression and wiokedness throughout the world. These, and all other need ful blessings, we ask in the name and for th• sake of Him who died for our sins, and ever liveth and reigneth with Thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, blessed for evermore.—Amen. " The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Ghost be with us all ever more —Amen." On the conclusion of the prayers, Major Hibbert and Captain Glyn advanced, and, uncovering the colours, delivered them into the hands of Mrs. Somerset, who, after handing them to Ensigns Griffiths and Smith kneeling, addressed the regi ment, in a firm tone of voice, as follows : " Officers, non-commissioned officers, and men, " It is with great pleasure that I accede to your request this day, associated as I shall ever feel myself to be with this battalion. lam proud to be the medium of presentingto you the colours sent to you by your Queen. This regiment has ever borne the highest character, since it was raised in 1668, and I am certain that this battalion will prove itself worthy of the name it bears, and emulate the gallantry of the old regiment; and, believe me, soldiers of the Royal Fusiliers, that a woman's prayer will ever be raised for your welfare and for your glory." This address was received by the officers and men on parade with the greatest emotion. Col. Somerset then advanced, and, in answer to Mrs. Somerset, spoke as follows : " Madam, " In the name of the officers, non-commissioned officers, and men of the battalion I have the honour to command, I beg to thank you for presenting to us, this day, our colours. It will be an occasion long cherished and remem bered by us. The battles incribed on these colours bear winless to the briVery — and gallantry of the regiment of which we form a part. This regi me nt, n ear ly 'the most ancient of any m the service, has been on m'any occasions conspicuous for its devotion to its Sovereign and country. To talk of the bravery of the British soldier is no distinction, where all are brave. But I feel confide n t th a t I have not a'brother soldier in my battalion who would not, with God's help, bear these colours,whenever and wherever his sovereign requires him to do so. To the Rev. Charles Moore I beg to tender our best thanks, for the kind and able manner he has assisted us on this occasion." After the ceremony was over three hearty cheers were given for the Queen, three for Mrs, Somerset, and three for Colonel Somerset. The battalion was then formed up in open column wheeled into line, opened ranks and saluted General Rumley, after which the regiment marched past in slow and quick time. In the afternoon the whole of the battalion pro ceeded to the New Mole Parade where a variety of games were got up for the amusement of the men. In the evening, a fancy and full dress ball, given by the colonel and officers of the regiment, took place at the Theatre Royal, the front of which was brilliantly illuminated with gas on the . occasion. The elite of beauty and fashion and the majority of the officers of the garrison were present. Shortly after 9 o'clock the guests began to arrive and pour in. They were conducted to the refresh ment room by their gallant hosts, and then received in the principal ball room by Colonel and Mrs. Somerset, and the other officers of the regiment. Two bands, those of the Royal Fusiliers and 25th King's Own Borderers, were in attendance, and dancing was kept up with great spirit in both rooms until after 4 o'clock this morning. The taste displayed by the ladies in the selection of their fancy dresses was most admirable, nor must the gentlemen's costumes be passed over with out mention, many being well chosen. The supper provided was of the most recherche description, and, together with the champagne frappe a inerveille, was fully appreciated. The decorations and the whole of the arrange ments of this splendid entertainment reflect the highest credit on the stewards, who, with the other officers of the battalion, were indefatigable in their attentions to the guests, and in promoting the spirit of the ball. " NOTCHEL CRYING" EXTRAORDINARY.— On. Wednesday there was at Accrington an extraordinary in stance of the disgraceful practice of " notchel crying." The town's bellman went round the town announcing that a certain man (an inhabitant of the town) would not, from that day forward, be answerable or accountable for any debt which his wife might contract. On the afternoon of the same day the same important functionary was employed by the wife to inform the inhabitants of Accrington that as she was, up to that day, straight with her husband, she would not be answerable for any debts which he might contract ; and stated, by way of additional information, that she had been allowed by him ss. per week to find herself and him in meat and lodging, and that he was also not a very constant husbanil, and that if he had brought home the money which he had given to other women he might have maintained them in very comfortable circumstancee. Great crowds followed the bellman up'and down the town during his oration.—Blackburn Standard.
