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

THE QUEEN AND THE VOLUNTEERS.—A more than usual excitement prevaile3 at Birkenhead on Satur day, owing to the volunteer rifles being summoned to act as a guard of honour to her Majesty when passing the Chester station on her way to Bangor. The four companies mustered at the Monk's Ferry Hotel, about 170 strong, and on arrival at Chester were placed on the line of rails in front of the plat form where her Majesty would receive the address from the Mayor. About 100Inniskillen Militia formed the centre of the guru d of honour, with their band and colours, and two companies of the volunteers were on each wing. We are only doing justice to the latter when we say that they presented a very soldier-like appearance, and looked re markably well in their dark green uniform. The must to the r was smaller than it otherwise would have been, owing shortness of the notice. The Lord-Lieutenant, the Marquis of Westminster, was on the platform, and expressed himself much pleased with their effective state. While the reading of the address was going on, Prince Albert seemed to pay great attention to the volunteers, and seeing, we suppose, that they were getting rather tire d of standing at the "resent" very graciously put his head out of the window, and Majesty, saluting, said, " Shoulder arms, gentlemen, if you PieaFe." On leaving the station all the Royal party ap peared to be much interested in the volunteers, and her in particular, stood up at the window quite turn ing her back on the crowd on the platform, and honoured them with most special notice.—Lircipool Albion. . . . ..., „... .. ,z,..,,,, ' / / Le (- ( ? . •••-.

' Mr. ABRAHA3Is seconded the motion, observing that that court had already taken the initiative in the matter, by ivev:ding the means of erecting the building.. 'When the asylum was erected, 200 or 300 pauper lunatics would have to be maintained, either by a county rate or out of the city's cash, and ti the fin-mulled already been condemned by that court they would themselves have to find the means of keeping up the asylum, and ought, there fore, to have it under their own control, instead of leaving it under the control of an irresponsible body, like the Court of Aldermen. Mr. Deputy Hour thought that although the court had very properly provided the means of building the asylum,it poor's rate. Mr. ANDERTON said that if the court defrayed the expenses of keeping up the establishnient, it would be for the relief of the lunatics. • Mr. FARRAR observed that in all boroughs the town council had the management of lunatic asylums, and that if in any act to be introduced a clause was inserted enacting that for that particu lar purposelhe city of, London—which was a county in itself—should be a borough, all the pur poses of the motion would be answered. The motion was agreed to. THE SHERIFFS' COURT. Mr. 11. WELLINGTON VALLANCE moved as fol lows, viz.:—" That it be referred to the Law, Par liamentary, and City Courts Committee, or to the Officers and Clerks Committee, to.ascertain and re port to this Court whether any and what changes or improvements are necessary or desirable and can be effected in the jurisdiction, process, procedure, and scale of fees in the Sheriffs' Court, and if so, in what manner, and at what cost. The Corporation of London had, he said, been the first, as commerce became important, under the House of Lancaster, to perceive the necessity for cheap and speedy justice ; and by-act of Common Council, in the 9th year of henry VIII., they established a Court of Requests, for the. prompt recovery of small debts. This set the example for imperial legilatiun, and before the abolition of the Court of Requests, in 1816, nearly 200 similar courts had been established in the country. Then, however, came the county courts, . with 'extended jurisdiction and en larged powers, which the Sheriff,' Court of London did not possess. Ile thought it extremely desir able that the Sheriffs' Court in its powers and jurisdiction should be 4ssimilatcd to the county courts, and more especially so with regard to the four following points: 1. The Metropolitan Dis trict Clause; 2, the Judgment by Default Clause; 3, the Payment by Inatahnent dense ; and 4, the Removal of Judgments for sums above £2O into the courts of issuing effective executions. In addition to these points he wished to extend the jurisdiction of the Sheriffs' Court, as that of the county courts . _ had been extended by the Divorce and Matrimonial Clauses and the Probate Acts. Proper inquiry on the subject would, he had no doubt, lead that court to ask the Legislature for an act which would give to the citizens of London the same advantages through their Sheriffs' Court which the inhabitants of other districts of the metropolis enjoyed through the county courts, and he hole d, therefore, the court would assent to the appointment of a com mittee. Mr. R. M. PHILLIPS seconded the motion. Mr. 11. L. TAYLOR said a great deal of incon venience had been occasioned by the omission of the City of London from general Acts of Parliament. This was the case not only with regard to the County Courts Acts, but also with regard to the Pauper Lunatic Asylums Act, and he riope(l that in future the City would be excepted from no beneficial gene ral act which did not materially interfere with its privileges. The motion was then agreed to with the exception that the inquiry was referred to the Law, Parlia mentary, and City Courts Committee, instead of the Officers and Clerks Committee. Upon the motion of Mr. VALLANCE, the following motion was agreed to nenz. con., viz. :—" That it be referred to the Committee for Letting the City's Lands to ascertain and report to this Court whether any and what alterations or improvements are neces• sary or desirable, and can be made in the court-house and offices of the Sheriffs' Court, and if any such alterations or improvements are necessary or desir able, at what time, in what way, and at what ex pense, they can be effected." THE LICENSED VICTUALLERS' SCHOOL. Mr. Deputy HOLT presented a petition from the governor and committee of the Licensed Victuallers' School, and from \the chairman, trustees, and gover nors of the Licensed Victuallers' Asylum, for the use of Guildhall, on any day after the 9th, and not later than the 18th, of November next, for the purposes of a ball in aid of the above charities." The prayer of the petition was agreed to. THE LOCAL DUES. Mr. Alderman CUBITT moved as follows, viz.:— " That having regard to the early termination of the Acts of Parliament for regulating the vend and delivery of coals, and the possible earlier expiration of some of the duties now collected on coals, it is desirable that the subject should be considered by the Corn, Coal, aud Finance Committee, with autho rity for them to confer thereupon with her Majesty's GOvernment if deemed advisable, reporting from time to time to this honourable court previous to any proceedings being taken.". In support of his motion, the Alderman said that portion of the coal tax known as the " Ninepenny Tax" would very shortly expire, and the corporation would then derive no revenue from the tax except its own fourpcnces. he thought it highly desirable that the whole of the tax, as now existing. should be maintained; for the " nine pence" had been solely devoted to the accomplish ment of great metropolitan improvements ; and there were many such improvements in different quarters of the metropolis which public convenience imperatively demanded. The pressure of the tax, generally speaking, was exceedingly light, for the whole amount which fell upon the consumer did not exceed one-halfpenny per hundredweight; and, therefore, the domestic consumers could not be said to feel the tax oppressively. In fact, when thepur p, , o-ea to which the tax wai devoted were taken in t o CollSideratiol l , it was impossible for any tax to fall more lightly, so far as the domestic consumer was concerned. With regard to the manufacturers, the tax might be regarded from a different point of view, since it might act adversely to their interests when they had to enter into competition with other manufacturers living beyond the district liable to the tax ; and there might, consequently, be some ground for acceding to a reduction in their case. The retention of the tax, however, is a modified I form, lie held be essential to the accomplishment of great Metropolitan improvements ; and as the tax would very shortly fall in, he thought they should at once enter into communication with the Metropolitan Board of Works, so as to enable them, together, to get at the Od., which would otherwise soon cease, and which, if at once actually ceased, it would be exceedingly difficult to revive. There might be other pubic bodies with which, also, it might be advisable to communicate ; but, at all events, he hoped the court would accede to his notion, and refer the inquiry to a committee. Mr. AnaanAms moved an amendment to limit the power of the committee simply to inquiry. Mr. DE JERSEY seconded the amendment. After a lengthened discussion, in the course of which several hon. members expressed a decided disinclination to allow the committee to confer with the Government without first making a precise report to the court, • Mr. Alderman CUBITT explained that delay would be dangerous, since although they were secure of their " fourpence" until 1862, the nine penny duty had been so public as to be likely to precipitate its extinction at least two years earlier. The charges upon it would, lie said, all be defrayed within a twelvemonth, and then the ninepenny duty would neeassarilrfall in. There was, there fore, no time to be lost. The amendment was then put from the Chair, and agreed to; and the court adjourned. PRICE 4D. STAMPED, 5D Princes by furce.

The Commissioners resumed their inquiry at 11 _o'clock this morning. Mr. Brear, teacher of music, examined by Mr. Sergeant Pigott, said he voted for Charlesworth, but never offered a bribe, ex.eept by way of a joke. Believed lie told Thomas Paget that money was be ing dealt out in coal-scuttles, and that he might as well have a hundred or two es any one else. Paget was a Leathamite, and witness never expected that he would vote for Charlesworth. Common rumour convinced him that money was flying in all direc tions, and that his brother " Joe" was particularly active in distributing it. Never told Pa ;et that he might have £5O for every vote he might get in ad dition to his own. Did nct offer anybody else a bribe in joke. Got nothing for his own vote. Joseph Leighton, brother of a voter named Reu ben Leighton, deposed that his brother was offered £29 by Mr. Jubh to vote for Charlesworth, to gether with a receipt for a debt of £35. IVitne'ss offered him £35 to clear off the debt and £5O in addi tion out of his pocket if he would vote for Leatham. Reuben voted for Charlesworth, bdt witness could not say what sum he actually received. John Jubb was called, and denied the statement made by Leighton in toto. John Chapman stated that a day or two before the election he canvasses Reuben Leighton on be half of Leatham. He offered to cancel a debt of £lO, and give Leighton £lO in money if he would vote for Leatham, and the man accepted it, but subsequently returned the money, stating that he had received more from the tories. ...------ TIIE SCOTCH PIG IRON TIIADE.—The number of furnaces now in blast is 120.

At half-past 12 the train from the west brought the regiment, about 800 strong, and they were drawn up on the road adjoining the Nairn Railway Station, adjacent to which was a triumphal arch, surmounted by a floral crown, and bearing the inscription in large letters formed of holyhock • blossoms and spanning the roadway, "Welcome to Nairn, 78th 1" From two lofty flag staffs, decorated with ivy, floated the Union Jack, on the one side on a large banner of blue ground, and on the other of crimson. The command having been given the soldiers marched in companies, headed by the sergeants of their respective corps, in close column. -The road from the railway station to the west end of the town, on both sides, was lined with well-dressed parsons of both sexes, and every eminence near was crowded with occupants, anxious to catch a glimpse of the gallant fellows as they passed along. The cheering was enthusiastic, and the progress a. complete ovation till they reached another. triumphal arct at the, Royalty, nearly opposite to the Provost's house. Here was a magnificent erection, composed of evergreens and flowers, surmounted by a colossal crown, and bear ing underneath the inscription —" Honour to the brave." ~Lere a halt was called, and Provost Findlay stood forward to present-the freedom of the town to the commanding officer, which he did in the following "Colonel M'lntyre—ln thus doing myself honour of addressing you, I can assure you, it is with no ordinary degree of pri le and pleasure that I appear here, accompanied by the corporation of the town of Nairn, to give you and your gallant regiment a most hearty welcome to our ancient burgh. The town council, cordially approving of the banquet to which the regiment has been invited, and sincerely sympathising in the sentiments in which it was originated, have voted to you the free dom of this burgh—the highest civic honour we can colder. My brother magistrates and councillors are here met to present to you, through me, the act of admission on the entraw.te of your regiment to the burgh. (Cheers.) I may here add that our interest in the regiment is, if possible, the more enhanced by the consideration that the gallant 78th will enter our royal burgh under the command of a brave and gallant officer whom we hail as a fellow citizen. We wish to express our high admiration of the services of your brave and distinguished regiment in India during the late calamitous mutiny, more particularly of the indomitable courage, the unswerving discip line, and the irresistible prowess with which they, under the great and good General Havelock, and the renowned Campbell, in the days of their country's need, and in the face of fearful odds, advanced so successfully to the ever memorable recapture of Cawnpore, and the relief and rescue of the brave and interesting garrison of Lucknow. We are all grateful for these and the many other distin guished services of the 78th, and proud are we of the heroes who achieved them. Time will not permit of my entering more into detail on this occasion; I therefore hope you will believe me to be sincere when I assure you, on behalf of the spirited corporation and community over which I have the honour to preside, that we feel proud in doing honour to the brave. I myself, as an old soldier, feel the deepest interest in the services and renown of the gallant 7Sth—the corps in which my own lamented father carried the colours when your regiment fought and nobly conquered at Maids.

Edward Rudgc, B.C.L.,Chaplain-Super intendant of King Fdward Vl.'s School for Desti tute Children, yesterday attended at the Fisgard's offices at Woolwich Dockyard, in charge of 40 well grown lads, from 14 to 15 years of age, volunteers for the naval service on board her Majesty's ships of war. The entries for the service are now limited to 20 per week. The weekly applications, how ever, are seldom under 200. A large number of the lads were consequently rejected, and some failed to pass medical inspection. Her Majesty's gunboat Louisa, 60-horse power, Lieut.-Commmander T. W. Oliver (tender to the screw steam Coastguard ship Edinburgh), yester day arrived at Woolwich from Leith, to be exa mined and repaired. Her Majesty's steam storeship Rhadamanthus, I Master-Com. Sturdee, has shipped a full cargo of swam gear and will sail to-day for the western - YaT•ds. Since the promulgation of " the commercial code of signals for the use of all nations," by the Board of Trade, a number of proposals for improvements in signalling have been made to the Admiralty, and independent [of Redle's cone signals, now on trial in the Channel fleet, several night and day signals have been submitted, and some ordered to be tested at Woolwich. It may be well to apprise projectors of these and other matters that the article to be tried is always manufactured or prdvided at the inventor's expense. This is an invariable rule with the Admiralty, and were it not strictly ob served serious cost would be incurred often to little purpose, as it is quite impossible for the Board to ascertain the value of an invention until it is re ported on by competent and independent parties. .An improved code of general signals has lately been prepared, the result of the recommendation of a com mission consisting of Admirs i l Hope, now comman der-in-chief in the East Indies, and Capt. Phillimore, commanding the Curacoa steam frigate. It is possi ble the symbols for interpreting this code may be amended, for certainly thelold flags are objectionable on many accounts, being . more in num , ),:x than are necessary, and not sufficiently distinct. The cone symbols have several warm advocates, but they ap pear better calculated for telegraphing than general signals, for a general signal should be complete at one view, and not dependent for interpretation on successive hoists. We understand that the designs now being prepared at the expense of the inven tors, and ordered to be tried and reported on at Woolwich, are Mrs. Costan's night signals, Mr. Ward's night signals, and Commander Brown's battle signals, the latter comprised of four symbols of different shapes, which by transmutation of two together make 20 messages, presumed to be suffi cient for all purposes in action. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty : Lieut. T. Hooper to the Prometheus ; W. Rogers, paymaster, to the Prome theus • T. W. W. Spear , pay master, to the Ardent; R. T. B. Byuce, naval cadet, to the Aboukir ; J. A. Challice, naval cadet, to the Mrsey ; T. B. Gough and A. 11. Byng, naval cadets,e to the Hero ; V. J. L. Peyton and R. Sutton, naval cadets, to the Odin; G.

M'lntyre. Col. M'INTYRE, in returning thanks, said it was not to anything he had done, but the heroic deeds of the gallant fellows in the ranks, to which the success which had crowned their efforts must be ascribed. He highly valued the honour now con ferred, and should ever cherish a grateful remem brance of it. (Cheers.) Deafening cheers succeeded, and the regiment, at the word of command, moved forward, passing along High-street on their way to tho Links, where the banquet w , s awaiting them in an immense tent or marquee, within the walls of the Bathing-house grounds, capable of containing 2,000 guests. The chair was taken at half-past two by Mr. Win. Brodie, of Brodie, lord•lientenant of the county of Nairn. Among the visitors present were Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, the Duchess of Richmond and a distinguished party from Gordon Castle ; Lady Gordon Cumming, of Altyre, and the Maste r of Altyre ; the lady of the l amen ted Capt. Cresswell , and a number of the landed p r oprietors of the neigh bouring counties, with their ladies and families. The substantial part of the banquet having been concluded, The usual loyal and patriotic toasts were pro. posed from the chair, and responded to with the liveliest enthusiasm. The CHAIRMAN then, addressing the guests of the evening, said-78th Highlanders! I am de lighted to see you here. We give this banquet to testify our admiration of your gallant and efficient military services, particularly in India since 'the immortal Havelock, tl i i l a c t rni tl i x t e e it y 3 e , ltof 1857, to verify as far as ou r will u li n m e i x te p d ect l e ia d hi l l labour, your sufferings, a n d y o ur valour would not t l. h i e et p o r t e y d i v t o i o o n , f y o t r e be forgotten by a grateful country." The original conquest of India--the gradual extension and eon solidation of the Anglo-Indian Empire—its mild and prosperous administration for 100 years—these were confessedly among the most striking achieve ments of modern times. Owing to the unexpected outbreak of a m ide-spread and ferocious mutiny on the part of the Indian soldiery, whom we had our selves trained to arms, and trusted after they had long shown themselves quiet and faithful, that great empire was, in 1857, shaken to its centre, and allbut lost. htlaiclaB ot, Eng land's conspicuouslyt cto n ha g olei l l d a rf n ioe d ibr tet t iall h illioai e do n nur required e syi q pn t tou t . hn i t r eid e tle d e s rtttslioti.o, re-establishmentn g a t, t her t s lostan d stout power and in avenging the previously unheard-of atroci d by none more ties the disaster appeared even aliNnH ig h landers. ore difficult than the original conquest. We had lost our pres tige—our foes had possessed themselves of Delhi, our Indian arsenal and our treasury. Flushed with success, they were also more numerous, better trained, and better organised than they had ever been before, yet India, thanks to our admirable mLitary and civil service, was reorganised and the rebels dispersed in less than two years! Time would fail were I to attempt noticing in detail the many distinguished services which were rendered by the 78th during this arduous struggle. But I cannot forbear a special allusion to the more im portant results—to their intrepid, and at length successful advances, under the noble, ever-to-be lamented Havelock, and the celebrated Lord Clyde, to the wonderful recapture of Cawnpore, and the glorious relief and rescue of the resolute and in teresting Lucknow garrison — its heroes and its herobles. It was honourable to the 78th that such a man as Havelock should have foretold before that superior training and discipline on their part—that in • his own words he should have ." long, and anxiously waited the opportunity of developing their powers." It was glorious for them and credi table to his discrimination that whefi the oppor tunity arrived they were m ore than valiant —in somuch as to make him cla im the regiment as hi • of India " and own, and call them " the Saviours . s t testif y hebattle o that Maida and Assaye.

These united were the qualities which carried you over and throu g h all ob stacles. Gallant 78th! you will gladly join me in remembering on this occasion your brave comrades in arms, English, Irish, and Scotch as well as those of the Indian army who remained faithful. They also did t heir duty nobly, and richly merit our gratitude and applause. In the day of our exaltation let us remember the dead who fell gloriously, fighting for their Queen and country. Above all, let us recognise withgratitude and praise the overruling hand of God in ali we have done, confident that without His sustaining aid we are po..verless. One word more—that I have applauded what occurred abroad. lam not here to presage piril gathering near, but sure I am that if Yny fireign invader shall ever presume to set foot on British or Irish soil, your services will not prove less resolute and effective at home than they have been abroad. I trust I may add that in such an event the exertions of many of her Majesty's civil subjects will almost vie with yours. The toast was drunk amidst vehement cheering. Sergeant-Major PococK, in a brief speech, re turned thanks. He concluded by remarking that such a scene as they had witnessed to-day, with the honour which had- been con for..d upon them, was more than sufficient to compensate for all the toils and hardships they had undergone. (Cheers.) Various other toasts were drunk. The whole of the officers of the regimtnt (27) were present at the entertainment. There were about 800 men in all, about one-half of whom served in the Indian campaign. In the march to the banquet the corps were preceded by twelve of the pioneers who did duty in India. They yet bore in their appearance the traces of the hard ships and privations endured by them in that arduous service.--For res Gazette. THE TREATY OF PEACB. (From the Times.) The Convention of Villafranca has now obtained its Ei formal development in the treaty of Zurich. tropy hai expected this document without great impatience, eoud and the parties most nearly. interested more deliberate have tolerated much longer delays, and a still o course of negotiation. The fact is tet all present diplomacy must necessarily be ad versebasis t f o i ltalian interests.

Nothing can Llissatisfactoryat this to the Italians as that status quo. moment free, orderly, and in arms. Let 3' h . er alone, and she will work out Italian unity in her own way.

Then listen to the nature of his remarks upon this interference. You will have a free translation of the ejaculations that will pervade the, great cities of Northern Italy when this Treaty of Zurich comes to be read in their streets. However, here the treaty is, or at least what purports to he an analysis of it, as the text in ex tense cannot be published before it is ratified. Here the treaty is, and we must deal with it It declares ' the will of the two Emperors, and that united will is fate to Italy, if it should take the form of united action. Lombardy, now exulting in her liberty and in the mild protection of her faithful &naves, is to undertake a liability as a ransom for her freedom of £10,000,0000 to Austria, and a compensation of £2,500,000 to her deliverer. Moreover, to check any outburst of her too exuberant spirits, she is to lie in her fat, unprotected, plains at the feet of the' great fortresses of Peschiera and Mantua. The Treaty of Zurich presents to Lombardy a heavy bill for present payment, and a heavy menace for the future. That there shall be no lack of signifi cancy in the menace, the Austrians are ostenta tiously increasing the strength of Peschiera, and cutting down the mulberry and olive trees to a safe distance from the lines. Even Milan will scarcely find another excuse for an illumination in the treaty which fixes her obligations. Milan, how ever, is the only city the present freedom of which is ackncAvledged by the treaty of Zurich. " The rights of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, the Duke of Modena, and the Duke of Parma are expressly re served." The "tranquillity of the Church and the power of the Holy Father" are to be insured, not b y Lega tions,recognising the present Government in the but by the hopeful expedient of reforms to be advised by the Emperors of Austria and France, and to be carried out by the Pope. There is no recognition of the Italy of to-day ;no admission of any knowledge of those well-constituted Govern ments which :,re administering justice and. protect ing order; the Zurich Plenipoteutaries see nothing but the old upholstery of the Italy of the Grand Dukes, and bow with diplomatic politene'ss to the empty chairs of state now removed to various lum ber rooms. According to this programme, Italy is to resume hei• old position, with some slight modi fications. The people of the Romagna , are to return to their allegiance , - and to dwell under the reformed administration of the Holy Father, under Imperial advice.

K. Sanderson to bribe a voter named Dawson. Witness told Daw son that he could get him £4O, and Mr. Sanderson waited in the passage until the bargain was con cluded, ready to pay the money. [Mr. Sanderson acted as secretary to the conservative committee, and in his evidence last week denied most distinctly having been cognisant of any act of bribery.] Wit ness added that Sanderson declined to pay him for his services after the election was over, and he only recovered the money after putting Mr. Sanderson in the county court. Joe Brear paid him. Hascroft further spoke to having been present when Brear offered a man named Titus Thompson a bribe, and to having heard John Crossland offer : George Ing• ham, the eating-house keeper, £5O. Heard Mr. Alder offer a voter named Taylor money, but heard no particular sum mentioned. Never saw or heard of " the Man in the Moon" in the election. • Mr. Willes—Have you been asked to go away from Wakefield, so as not to come before us ? INritnes . s—Yes. I was asked a week ago by a person in the employ of Mr. Sanderson, who told me that if I left Wakefield for a time, Mr. Sander son would pay me my expenses. Titus Thompson said he voted for Charlesworth, but received nothing for it. Always voted "free gratis." Simeon Speak voted for Charlesworth, and re ceived £4O for his vote from Archibald Crowther. Robert Jackson, landlord of the Borough Market Hotel, stated that just before the election, three voters, named Taylor, Cass, and Link, stayed at his house and slept there. Voters were also refreshed at his house, and his bill against the conservatives amounted to more than £25. Samuel Fieldhouse voted for Leatham, and re ceived £2O from Jos. Tunnacliffe. Was offered £5O by Archie Crowther to vote for Charlesworth, but declined to take it. Charles Peat siid Joseph Wood, a voter, showed him £35 in his own workshop, which he said hehad received for his vote. Wood had been examined, and had sworn that he had received nothing. Mr. Serjeant Pigott remarked that it was sad to see the conflicting evidence which had been laid be fore the commissioners. In some of the cases the perjury was so gross that the commissioners should lee' it their duty to certify them to the Attorney- General, in order that the offending parties might be prosecuted. • A number of witnesses were then called, Who spoke to attempts which had been made to bribe them by Sharpley to vote for, Mr. Leatham. The inquiry was again adjourned. ERIZATUAL—In our report of Tuesday's proceed ings it was stated that a bribe of £2O had been offered to a man named Gifford by Mr. Boston, the gumnaker. It should hare been Mr. Boston, the woollendraper. THE ARMY. The Adelaide steam t ra nsport, Capt. Bourn, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday from Waterford with the 2d Battalion of the 18th Royal Irish on board. The regimental baggage, horses, &a., were landed alongside the dockyard yesterday, and the troops will land this evenini , and proceed by special train to Aldershott. The following are the names of the officers and number of the troops, &c. : Major Armstrong, in comma nd : Ma j or 0. B. D'Arey • Capts. Inman, Bishopp , King, Haydock, and Hailowes ; Lieuts.

The newly-invented tents which have been patented by Mr. Turner, two of which have been erected within the Spur battery at Chatham. and, occupied by the troops selected from the Ist Batta lion, arc found to answer their intended purp3ses so admirably that orders have been given directing that they shall be given over for the use of the men attached to the 3d Battalion, a portion of whom are to occupy the tents each night. The number of men who can sleep in the smallest of the two tents is 18, each man having a hammock to himself. There is also a stove in the centre of each tent to warm the interior during the night in order to keep up an equal temperature for the troops occupying them. Arrangements arE in progress, and will probably shortly be carried into effect, for forming the Royal Engineer detachments now at head-qters, Chatham, into four separate depot companies. This will greatly facilitate the arrangements for the organisation of the corps, as the detachment of recruits at Brompton Barracks now numbers 500 men.
