" This work Is the productiori 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 va l ua bl e 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. let, 1858.

These Ledges are at the mouth of the small fishing harbour called Maria lonia', about 65 miles cast of Halifax, N.S. PRICE 4D• STAMPED, SD. TILE BELIGIOU4 DISSENSIONS IN 81'. GEORGE'S-flit-THE-EAST. Yesterday evening a meeting of vestry of this parish was held at the board-room of the work house, Mr. Churchwarden THOMPSON in the chair. " The vessel went on not with a shock, but with a rip, from the very sound of which it was per fectly evident that the bottom of the forward pal t at least was literally torn out. Before the firemen could leave the stokehole the water was nearly up to the roof of the furnace doors, and in about 20 minutes the engine-room filled, almost up to the highest platform. From . the explanations of Mr. Churchwarden Thompson, and some conversation which ensued, the following facts were elicited. Yesterday (Thursday) morning the Rev. C. F. Lowder, minis ter of the Mission Chapel in Weliclose-square, who has been officiating for the Rev. Bryan King at the parish church during his illness, attended before Mr. Yardley on a summons charging him with assaulting aparishioner named Soames.• It appears that on Sunday morning last there was a wedding at St. George's Church, the persons interested in which were admitted into the church at a quarter past 10 by a side door. Mr. Soames, knowing that the choristers and others had "gone in, deter mined upon folloWing them,. when Mr. Lowder, who had possession of the door, refused him ad mission, raised his arm and struck him on the shoulder, and then, banging too the door, made Mr. Soames a prisoner by the skirt of his coat, which was caught by the doors. Mr. Soames, ac cording to his statement at the police-court, was obliged to hammer away until he could 'obtain his release. Four parishioners were called in support of the charge, and Mr. Digby Seymour, MX w., ho attended forPlr. Lowder, argued in defence that the door was the private entrance of the rector, and that Mr. Soames had no business there. Mr. Churchwarden Thompson was also called, and proved that this was not a door for the rector, but for the public, upon which the magistrate decided that the assault had been fully proved, and ex pressed his opinion that Mr. Lowder had acted very injudiciously as a minister of peace in acting as a policeman or doorkeeper. He added that he did not believe that religious principle actuated any of the parties. As the complainant had paid two s s u h l to,usl so that fine 11 0 p r. Llaioirwltlyidnemgrsitglfootrsnhotithllee summons,ihxgusltfoorverthtehehaseostaher Mr. BARNARD, after stating the circumstances which had led to the recent disturbances in the . pariA, and giving a succinct history of the griev ances of which the parishioners had to complain, mol-ed the adoption of a petition to the House of Commons, praying that some means may be de vised whereby the existing defects in the disci pline of the Church of England may be removed, and power given to the laity to interfere, by some cheap and summary process, for the redress of griev ances to which they are at present liable, from the want of any sufficient means to restrain or remove an erring or wrongheaded incumbent of a parish. Mr. BARRETT seconded the adoption of the peti tion, which was supported by 7 ' Thehoats were lowered as q , nickly as possible, and without much difficulty. rho starboard and port boats, Nos. 1 and 2, were swung on the davits so low as to be clear of the rail. The entire efforts of the crew were then directed towards lowering the boats (starboard and port), Nos. 3 and 4. No. 3, under the charge of Mr.'Smith, second officer, vas launched in safety, but all attempts to launch No. 4 for a: • icing while were fruitless. While the men were still employed in the attempt to do so, and, as nearly as I can recollect, about 4a minutes: after she struck with a tremendous crash, the vessel began which o th p wic a hh r i t cwi a le m trie i l ds e3,o, h u‘ i ti ps :e.ri m tlra ost s of t working, at le t l ahni h ds a crowded time e l d e te ft the i iaattolot those i s rt eer life" took place. The two forward boats being nearest the steerage were naturally enough those to which the steerage passengers crowded. The German families, as well ad the other passengers that have been lost, were alllost there, and the only way in Which Lean account for it is this ; when 'the vessel struck the sea was almost calm, but imme diately after a considerable swell arose at the very time that she began to breakup. The sea was breaking with great violence againa the bow, and I presume it was the peopl:! crowding to the boat that caused some incautious person in the starboard boat No. 1 to cry to those who were standing by to cut the fall. His orders were unfortunately obeyed, and the consequence was that the stern of the boat was smashed to atoms against the ship's side, and most of the people in her perished. "The port boat, No. 2, which was also swung on the davits, shared a similar fate, and in a some what similar manner. One of the davits, lam told, gave way with the weight of the people on her; however that may be, I know that almost at one and the same moment with boat No. 1 she was swamped and turned bottom upwards ; and it is supposed the engineers were drowned out of her. Mr. Smith, who was on the weather side, then brotight round his boat to the lee ward of the vessel, where he was to lie off until daylight would enable him to pick up some more from the wreck, but this he found it impossible to do. He was driven out to sea, and with great diffi culty managed to bring his boat to land about 35 miles westward from the wreck. Another boat, under the direction of Mr. Tibbitts, fourth office, and one in charge of the boatswain, after endeavour ing for hours in vain to return to the wreck, got ashore at Marie Joseph. There was also another lowered in comparative safety—namely, port boat No. 4. It appeared, however, that it had sus tained some damage, too, as it filled immediately on reaching the water. Mr. Biggan, third officer, went down to assist those already id the boat to bale it out, when he was driven out to sea and has not yet been heard of. "About daylight the vessel parted completely in two, the forward part falling over almost on its beam, and the after part settling down in about 21 feet of water. Throughout the (lay the whole of the passengers and cretv were taken off' by boats belonging to the place, and throughout the night they (the boatmen) sought to reward themselves by visiting the wreck and - carry ing off all the silver plate along with the whole of the clothing belonging to both passengers and crew. Every effott was made that night to obtain a boat's crew, but not a single man could be found who would go. The magistrates are endea vouring to trace the guilty parties, but have thus far been unsuccessful. _ • Mr. ARMSTRONG, who said he wished to attack the system which had been imposed upon them, and not the man who introduced it, for ke had the highest possible respect for their rector as a gen tleman. It was, however, a question, and a very serious one, between 50,000 parishioners on the one hand and a solitary priest on the other. It was obvious that it would be useless to appeal to the bishop, who had shown that he had no power. All, therefore, that the parishioners had left to them was to go to Parliament. (Hear.) Mr. STEPHENS remarked that it was _not safe now for a parishioner to go into the church, for unless he conformed to all the strange practices which prevailed there, he might be summoned on the following day for tome outrageous act of which he was both innocent and ignorant Mr. B. HERBERT stated that with regard to Mr. Rosier, who had been cited to the Consistory Court at the instigation of the rector, no expenses would be incurred, unless they were voluntarily given. Mr. Rosier would allow the law to take its course, and would go to prison, if that should be the re sult of the proceedings. (Hear, hear.) On the motion of Mr. BARNARD, it was agreed that a similar petition should be presented to the House of Lords ; the petition to the House of Lords to be entrusted to Lord Ebury, and that to the House of Comnions to Mr. C. S. Butler, M.P. for the Tower Hamlets. Mr. Churchwarden TnomPsosz announced that he had received a requisition from a large number of the inhabitants of the parish, which he should act upon, praying the churchwardens to convene a public meeting of the parishioners, to consider the present ecclesiastical condition of the parish, and to memorialise the Queen to remove the Rev. Bryan King. It was stated in the course of the proceedings that the Rev. Hugh Allen, the afternoon lecture . , has been presented by the Lord Chancellor to the rectory of St. George's, Southl.vark, rendered va cant by the preferment of the Rev:William C:d man; M.A., to the rectory of Trinity district, St. Yfarylebone. It appears to be doubtful at present whether Mr. Allen will be able to hold his lecture ship (which is unendowed and dependent. upon voluntary subscriptions) with his Suuthwark ree -1 terry. " A boat's crew went out on Tuesday morning to see if any of the wreck remained, and returned with the news that not a single plate of the vessel was to be seen. " The mails have been saved." In explanation of this statement, we are in• formed by one of the principal officers that the seven boats were away from the ship before she parted, which was about three-quarters of an hcur from the time she .4truck, ,and that the loss of life did not really, eccur in the way supliosed by the purser. With .tho exception of one - seaman, who was washed offt he wreck forward, the lives of bath passengers and crew were lost in connection with the daunehing of the, boats. "Wit 11 . a view to secur ing the safety of the family which appears at, the head of the passenger list, they were placed in the No. 2 boat before it was lowered ; and it is supposed that the two engineers and one or two seamen had also got into her whilst she was yet suspended from the davits, when a heavy sea washed over and filled her, turned her bottom upwards, and broke the davits. The other persons drowned were in the_ starboard (No 1) boat, when it is supposed a heavy sea touched her bottom and lifted herconsi derably, so that the few persons who were in her brotight her down with a sudden jerk, which straightened one of the davits and broke her fall, and the other :;eing cut, or also parting with the strain, this boat and those who were in her were lost. The purser's room was broken to pieces, and but few of the papers were saved. The log, how ever, was preserved. The schooner Alexander, Captain Shellnut, was first to render assistance, and conveyed to Halifax 24 of those rescued. FLOODS IN YOIK,VIIRE. Some heavy . floods have occurred in different parts of Yorkshire this week. In the western part of the county, especially in the Calder valley, the streams and rivulets greatly overflowed their hanks, as did also the river Calder in several parts, and a good deal of damage was done, and in one instance human life was lost; The rain was accompanLA with a strong wind, and about noon on Monday a factory girl named Matilda Clegg, eight years of age, wad walking near a mill-darn at Shibden, a short distance from Halifax, when she was blown into the dam and drowned. Several of the worsted factories and corn-mills in the valleys about Hali fax were injured by the flood, and at Suddenfoot, in the same district of county, a wooden bridge was washed away. In Wharfedale also, the rivers and streams were much increased, and many hundreds of acres of laud were laid under water. In the northern part of the cauutv, especially in Wensley dale, the floods were very - heavy. A mild thaw set in on Sunday evening; ; , which, gradually dissipating the snow which had fallen on the two previous days, caused a flow of water from the hills to the river Yore, but not to such an extent as to cause any apprehensions of the tremendous flood which afterwards ensued. Purim , the bight the wind rose to a hurricane, accompanied with heavy showers. and this, it is supposed. caused a large natural basin, known as Summer IVater, near Bainbridge, to overflow its banks, and pour into the already swollen and turbulent river below. With the return of daylight on Monday morning a scene presented itself in Wensleydale which was as fearful as it was unexpected. The whole of the flat tract of land from West Witton, at the foot of Pen-hill to below Cover-brigde near East Witton and Middleham, was so completely submerged that nothing but the tops of trees and a few hillocks aed hedgerows were visible:on the large sheet of water which, like a vast lake, was spread over the face of the country. The course of the stream in the middle was very rapid and powerful, and a great deal of anxiety soon began to be manifested re specting the live stock which had been left on the pastures along the river's bank. The greatest loss at present known seems to have been sustained by Mr. Peacock, of Harmby, butcher, who had left, 40 sheep and three horses in a field ca lled Boat Pas ture. Some of these were seen early in the morn ing huddled together on a small hillock, sur rounded by water, and, as the water continued to rise, the loss of the whole flock seemed inevitable. It was, however, known that a boat was kept by Lord Bolton in a shed near the river, and though the task seemed as hopeless as it was daring, two men, named John Taylor and James Constantine, boldly waded into the water, and, after being nearly overpowered, at length succeeded in getting out the boat, when, with the ready help of a number of persons who had assembled, 2-1 of the sheep wore brought from their isolated position. The horses had already taken care of themselves and fortunateiy escaped without injury, but 16 sheep, chiefly half-bred and Leicester ewes, were carried away by the flood, and out of the 21 which re mained, two at least were on the brink of perish ing.. Four sheep were swept away out of a flock of .27 bslonginz to Mr. Whitolock, which were in a field adjoining the Boat Pasture, but these, with one exception, were afterwards recovered. Mr. Robinssn, of Thornton Steward, is said to have lost three sheep out of a flock of 50, and the carcases of a horse and other animals were seen floating down the river. , A great number of petions from Ley burn and the neighbouring villages visited what may be termed the margin of tho lake during the day, especially. on the road from Leyburn to Mid dleham, crossing the suspension bridge, which was so completely submerged for nearly a quarter of a mile as to render the passage of conveyances im possible. A good deal of damage has been done to some of the land which was flooded, especially to such as was sown with wheat. The schooner Lutca ran close to the wreck, went among the breakers, and became a total wreck. Her crew was saved. The Delta, which it was supposed might have been the vessel wrecked, has arrived at Sydney, Cape Briton. A GALLANT .4 UT.TON. • The following gallant action, accomplished bj• Capt. Hemel, of the French clipper Luzitano, by which the captain and crow of the Birkenhead, of Liverpool, were saved from impending death, has been reported to the French Government. The fact is the more remarkable as a British vessel had previously lissed near. the Birkenhead, and, al though her dangerous position was evident, the other ship continued on her voyage without afford ing any assistance. The following is the report made by Capt . . HerMel:—" On the 24th November, about 7 in the morning, during a violent gale, the wind blowing from the west, 1 perceived a ship at a shot distance steering badly, and endeavouring to move towards the south. I found that this vessel had lost all her masts but her lower ones. I imme diately steered towards the vessel, and when 1 was sufficiently near she hoisted the union flag reversed. The captain hailed me, and prayed me to take him and his crew on board, as his ship was about to founder. In fact, I saw that his deck was broken up, and that the sea was breaking over her on all sides. I lay to as close as possible to the ship in distress, and at half-past 8 I had the satisfaction to receive the crew, consisting of 23 men, on board. The captain told me his name was Edward Phelan, of Waterford, his ship the Birkenhead, measured 883 tons, and . belonged to Mr. J. Wilson, of Liver pool, He was on his passage from Quebec to Liverpool, with a cargo of timber. The'Birkenhead, being in 45.40 north lat. and 40.20 west long. from the meridian of Paris, sprung a leak, making 5 feet of water an hour, the wind blowing fresh from the north-west. Finding that the water was gaining on the vessel, although all hands were employed at the pumps, the captain commanded a reef to be taken in the mizen sail. While this operation was going on the deck was burst up by the cargo, while the stern and bows were seriously damaged by the shifting of the large logs of timber. In this critical position Capt. Phelan cut away all his upper masts, leaving only the lower ones, with which he ex pected to. make the Azores, but he found it almost imposSible to make the Birkenhead answer the helm. Thus the crew were exposed to the greatest danger for 12 days, until I met them, when they had made only ,80 leagues. They had passed the northern islands of the AzOres, and I am convinced that Capt. Phelan could not have made the island of St, Michael, for the west and south - westerly winds were driving his ship to the east., although he was making every effort to steer to the south He was then in 42.15 north latitude, and .32 west longitude. , When I received the crew they were reduced to the last glass of water, and the small quantity of provisions which they had saved from the sea was nearly exhausted. Moreover, the weather being extremely' severe, the men suffered horribly from cold and, damp. Six days before I fell in with the Birkenhead, a ship of her nation passed close by, but the captain did not think pro per to stop to assist his unfortunate countrymen. A violent tempest arose from the south-west shortly after the crew arrived on board the Luzitano, and lasted for 12 hours. Capt. Phelan is ofopinion that his ship must have gone to pieces during tha storm."

SMITHFIELD, (1A TZLE SH4 W. The, crowd at the Cattle Show may be said, to have reached its climax yesterday,vvery 'avenue being densely packed throughout, the day with visitors, who hastled each other vigorously, in the hope o f at least a glimpse of each object of attraction. Now that the public curiosity may be said .to be almost sated with the inspection of the cattle the tide seems to flow more rapidly. Jowards the galleries, where the various agricultural imple ment makers exhibit specimens of • their rapid pro gress in the application of steam and mechanical science to the tilling of the ground. There is the usual vast miscellany of clod-crushers and oat bruisers, and chaff-cutters, with steam-ploughs of various design, and harrows. of a complication in form that is wonderful to behold. Our old friend the sausage-maker still plies his wonderful inven tion, but this year in pulping carrots and not in making sausages, the judges having decided, after an arduous deliberation, that the chopping of sausage meat could not properly be considered an agricultural operation. But probably the articles rou n d which the greatest crowd is constantly congregated are the reaping and grass-cutting machines exhibited by . Messrs. Bur gess and Key. These gentlemen have devoted themselves to the perfecting of the machines which, when first imported into this country from America, excited so much attention and auch . hot controversy amongst the farmers.. The present machines may be said to embody all the desiderata which could bore quired in a perfect instrument. The ingenuity of con - :traction may be estimated froin the fact that the prin cipal wheelis made. to aomtnutticate with-a number of smaller ones, so as to produce 12 distinct motions, all combining to perform and finish the operation of reaping. The fan lays down the corn upon the knife, and when it is cut by the latter it falls over on a series of Archimedean screws, the slow rota- tion of which casts it on the ground in regular lines, the machine making a clear track of four feet six inches as it goes along. Still more in g enious is the conical screw, or roller, which, place d along one side, acts as a director, and prevents the corn going any way but in the direction intended. Only one man to drive is required, the machine doing the re mainder of the work ; and there is a concurrence of testimony to the effect that never has the work' of reaping been done so effectually as it is effected by this valuable and elaborate invention. Upwards of 2,000 of the machines have been sold since their first introduction by Messrs. Burgess and Key, and the orders this year have already reached 500. The grass-cutter is an ingenious application of a similar principle to a different sort of work. Like the reaping -machine, the grass-cutter does all its own work, except driving the horses, and clips the grass close to the grqund as neatly as if it were done with a pair of scissors. An exceedingly intelligent workman attends both machines, and explains to a large auditory Pvery evening their peculiar con struction and mode of working. The last-named machine, like the other, is in great demand amongst the hay farmers, and an immense number of orders have already been received by the patentees. to be rowed out some distance to the vessel in the man-of-war launches. The first battery of Armstrong guns, six 12-pound breech-loading rifles, was yesterday proved at the Royal Arsenal beta, Woolwich, in preparation for transit to China by the overland route. The proof charges employed on the occasion, as ordered by the War Department, consisted of the largest amount of powder with which it was possible to cram the chambers of each gun, and a couple, or double shot. Col. Tulloch, Mr. Anderson, and Capt. Gsrdon,wh o were the authorities present, thoroughly tested and searched each gun immediately after the discharge, to ascertain the effect. The guns were mounted for the occasion, and fired on temporary carriages, in orier to avoid the rish of chipping or other injury to which they are subject under the ordinary method of firing on the ground. The ter rible shock which the excessive charges produced brought the guns off their positions with a perfect leap, and gave a recoil of about 2,5 feet; neverthe less, the thorough temper of the materials and the remarkable charaeter of the ions nobly resisted the shock. They were accordingly pronounbed impos sible to burst under fair usage, and were immedi ately packed in cases for transport. Brevet Lieut.-Col. Barry's and Capt. Milward's batteries, at presenfunder a course of training with the Armstrong guns and Enfield rifles, will leave. Woolwich for China in a few days. The two bat teries have been selected for their superior drill on all occasions, Captain Milward's having the reputa tion of being the most efficient and thoroughly dis ciplined battery in the garrison. The brigade of Artillery in China will be commanded by Col. Crof ton, who is succeeded in the 4th brigade by Col. Wilmot, late superintendent of the Royal gun fac tories. Captain and Adjutant R. J. Hay, of the 2d garrison brigade, head-quarters, at present on spe cial service at Shoebnryness, is appointed Brigade- Major for China. iiiVANS'S HOTEL and MAGNIFICENT MUSIC and SUPPER ROOIIS.

Albert Cohn, of Paris, we learn that Count Walewski has given orders to the French consuls along the coast of the Mediterranean to grant passports for Algeria to the fugit ive recce and thht the Minister of Algeria, .Count Chasselou Jews from Mo - Laub'at, has expressed to M. Cohn his willingness to facili tate in every way the immigration of these unfortunates into Algeria, to lay forthwith before the Emperor the mea sures to be recommended, and to telegraph them at once to General Martimprey and the other authorities at Oran.— Jcwish Chronicle. SHIPWRECKS AND Loss OF LIFE ON THE SOLWAY COAST.—During Sunday and Monday a tremendous galS prevailed on the Cumberland and other parts of the Solway coast ; and, though somewhat moderated, continued on Tuesday, with a heavy sea on. In the immediate locality of Whitchaven no material damage has been sustained ; but a good deal of damage has been done a little higher up the Solway, and it is feared that the whole crew of one ves sel have fallen victims to the fury of the gale. At Work ington three vessels were reported on shore on Sunday morning—two on the north side, the Unity , a regular trader, with a general cargo from Liverpool, and the Rob the Banter, an Irish schooner, from Dublin, both of which will doubtless be got off without much damage. On the south side of the harbour, just outside the pier, a Liverpool schooner, the Intrepid, laden with pig iron, from Ardrossan to Liverpool, lies stranded upon the bank, her bulwarks cleared away, and the surges breaking through h er, with every appearance of becoming a wreck. During the g ale, at laryyort, two vessels, named respectively the Hazard and the Shamrock, both belonging to that port, went on shore a little to the north of the harbour. At Allenby, a vessel has been washed on shore, bottom up ; it proved to be the Manx sloop Margaret and Ann, bound to Maryport , laden with black jack from the Isle of 'Man. It is supposed that she had capsized, and that her crew, consisting of three men, are drowned. The body of one man was found en taiagled in the rigging, very much mutilated; and another body has since been washed ashore. Other pieces of wreck of various kinds have been washed up on the shore between Maryport and Allenby. An inquest on the bodies of the two men who have been found, and whose names are Thos. Christian, mate, and James Bridgett, seaman, has since been held before the district coroner ; and a verdict of " Found dead" returned. In other places along the coast the gale has been severely felt, and much damage has, it is feared, been don?, pieces, 9f wreck, &c. ? are frequently gy,ighing. nn. LT- 11? NA Y.l. Her Majesty'a screw frigate Ariadne, 26, Capt. F. Vansittart, was undocked at Chatham yesterday afternoon. Her guns consist of twenty-six 10- inch 84 cwt. (Armstrong's), and two pivot guns. She has the whole of her stores, provisions, water, shot, and shell on board, and is now lashed along side the sheer-hulk, opposite the dockyard. To day she will probably drop down to Folly Point, a short distance from the powder magazine at Upnor Castle, where she will receive on board her armament and powder, and await further orders. The draught of water when the ship was floated was 18 feet 5 inches forward, and 19 feet 6 inches aft. A considerable number of naval and military officers and ladies were present to see the noble vessel leave for her future element. A new ship, the Belvidere, is ordered by the Admiralty to be built at Chatham for a 91,.Screw. She is to be raised upon the slip the AlFtsey was launched from ; and the Royal Oak, 90, screw, is to be raised on the slip the Hood wa4 recently' launChed from. The Charybdis, 21, 400-horse power, will to-day occupy the dock vacated by the Ariadne, to be fitted for the first division of the steam reserve, instead of the second, as previously ordered. The crew of the Conqueror, Captain Wrlcox, were paid off at Plymouth on Wednesday . by Rear- Admiral Sir T. Pasley, and of the Centurion, Capt. Paley, by Capt. Williams. Two .detachments of Marines were embarked the same day on board the Conqueror and Centurion, preparatory to their being recommissioned by . the same officers. On the arrival of the screw steamship Nile, 90, Captain A. P. E. Wilmot, at Plymouth, her crew will be turned over to the screw steamship Sanspa reit. After repair the Nile will be despatched to her original destination, North America and the West Indies. The yacht Plymouth, E. Crook, master, from Penzance, arrived atkPlymouth on Wednesday,. with loss of bowsprit. Letters received at Plymouth, froth the Orion, 91,.Captain Frere, dated Gibraltar, Nor. 27, state that there was no expectation of her return t:) Eng land 'before the spring. The Brunswick was to leave for home on the. Ist of December; she has been four years and six months in commission. The Urgent, screw troopship, Commander Hire, will sail for the Cape of Good Hope and China about the 20th inst., from Dublin, where she will call to embark troops for the Cape. It has been officially notified that an extra mail will be forwarded by ber to the Cape. The Hero, 91, screw, Captain G. H. Seymour, ar rived at Spithead from Portland yesterday morn ing. under canvas. . • The Fawn, 17, Commander X. B. Kator, sailed from Spithead yesterday morning for Portland. The Sprightly, paddle steamer, Master Com mander Allen, sailed from Portsmouth yesterday for Plymouth, with supernumeraries, &c. The Mutino, 17, screw, Commander W. Graham, and the Weser, 6, paddle, Commander Itaby, V.C., arrived at Spithead, yesterday from the eastward. The following appointments were made yester :—G. J.

ARMY. A Circular, signed by Sir Benjamin Hawes, the Under-Secretary of State for War, has been for warded to officers commanding Militia regiments, stating that it has, been decided that the school fees exacted by Article 176 of the Militia Regula tions shall henceforth be abolished, with a view of encouraging the non-commissioned officers and men of disembodied regiments of Militia to attend school during the periods for which they are annually trained. The Ordnance Select Committee, which has been appointed by the War Department to examine and report upon all inventions or improvements to the implements or munitions of war which from time to time may be submitted to their consideration, will meet on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, at Woolwich. It was yesterday stated at Chatham that on the promotion of Col. H. Sandham, R.E., to the rank of Major-Gen., the appointment of Director of the Royal Engineer Establishment will probably be conferred on Col. H. Drury Harness, C. 8., R.E., Col. Sandham, the present director, standing high on the, list for promotion. Yesterday afternoon the Royal Engineer Train, under the command of Capt. T. Siborne, with the whole of the horses, equipments, stores, &c., arrived at Chatham from Aldershott Camp to oc cupy the winter quarters prepared for them at that garrison. On their arrival at Brompton they were drawn up in the barrack-square, where the entire corps was inspected. The officers and troops have been four days on their march from Aldershott to Chathain, OA int; to the heavy equipment brought with them. the de, , ots belonging to the lstb Yesterday attaiio morn i ngnat Chatham Garrison were drawn up on the general parade-ground at Chatham Barracks in heavy marching order, under the command of Col. H. Jervis, after which they were marched down to the gun-wharf, where they were exercised in embarking and disembarking from her Ma jesty's ship Tyne, moored off the dockyard. The system laid down for the embarkation of the troops enables several hundred men to be placed on board the vessel in about one-third the time formerly occupied, which was fully proved yesterday, when the battalion was embarked and disembarked in the greatest order and discipline in less than an hour, nptwithstanchng the troops ba4 FLOATING BATTERIE. It would be impossible to pronounce an opinion on the merits of floating batteries until they have had a fair and decisive trial. From the announce ment of their immense size, and the strength of the material of which they are composed. the pub lic are apt to imagine that they are as indestruc tible as an asbestos ball would be in a " fiery fur nace." But, as far as their capabilities have yet been tested, we are not justified in attributing to them much . greater powers of resistance than those of an ordinary wooden frigate. They are not proof against fire, a,s one built by Mr. Scott Rus sell was so hopelessly damaged by an incendiary fire as to render it necessary to break her up forth with. Those which were built during the Russian war were found to be such lubberly sailers that they were never taken into action, and have since served as experimental targets for all kinds of ar tillery practice. At Kinburn, it is true, the float ing batter:es of the French were brought into action, and it was said; in the usual inflated style of French bulletins, with " immense success ;" but. no inference of value can be deduced from this ex- periment, inasmuch as the armament of this fourth class fort was all of the last century, and very few of the guns exceeded the calibre.of a 32-pounder. If the experiment in that case had been such as to justify the extension of this principle the French marine would at once have continued its use, and by this time would have had a pow e rf u l fl o till a o f steam batteries afloat ; but the batteries they are now constructing are totally different from those which operated before Kinburn, and seem to be constructed more with a view el running down op posing vessels than of resisting their fire. Our own experiments as to the value of thick iron plates to resist the effect of shot fired from heavy ordnance appear to the last degree contradictory, if the re ports which •are occasionally published are to he received as correct. Thus, we are sometimes told that plates of four inches in thickness resist the effelts of shot perfectly, and a few days after it is reported that the plates of a floating battery of si milar thickness are shattoredby the Armstrong bolt. In the midst of these contradictions, the Admiralty ought to be the best judges of the matter, inasmuch as they have before them the official reports of all the trials that have been made under their orders ; and it is presumed that they would not direct new batteries to be -constructed unless they had some assurance that they would prove valuable in future wars. In the steam batteries now constructirf; on the Thanies and Clyde regard is paid to the general usefulness of the ship as an instrument of offensive warfare, rather than to its ability, by its mere weight of metal, to resist the effects of the.con tinned fire of heavy ordnance. The old floating batteries were entirely covered with iron, except below the line of immersion ; but the weight of the vessel was found to be so great, and, its consequent immersion so largely increased, as to render it difficult for the engines to propel it. In order to avoid this evil, the batteries now constructing are ordered to be plated with iron only on the sides of the vessels, the bows, stern, and the immersed parts of the hull being unprotected. To afford security, however, to the crew when in action, the deck is coated with iron, and shot-proof bulkheads run across the inte rior of the vessel at intervals.- The plates used in the construction of these vessels were tested at Woolwich a few days since, when those taken in discriminately bore a pressure of between 20 and 21 tons per square inch, and those selected by.the con tractor sustained between 22 and 23 tons per square inch. As far as dead resistance is concerned this must he held to be highly satisfactory, but the momentum of an Armstrong bolt may tell a different tale, and may cause even these powerful plates to give way to its resistless force. As to th..) power of running down a hostile vessel at sea (setting aside the cold-blooded idea that it !implies of wholesale assassination, like smoking Arabs in cifres, or flinging poisonous compounds), experience will show that there are two sides to the bargain. Theoretically, it is like putting the pinch 'of salt on the bird's tail, or the recipe for conking the hare. In the first place, in order to accomplish the scheme successsful Iv, the steam bat tery must be faster than the vessel she is chasing ; but as steam batteries, whatever the power of their engines, must always, from their. immense d isplace men t, be slo tv vessels, there is not miieh probability of their out-steaming ordinary vessels of war. They ni igh t, it is true, catch an old sailing vessel asleep in a calm, and run into her, but the opportunity will not readily be afforded to them, inasmuch as the conversion of sailing vessels to screw vessels is pro ceeding rapidly in every navy, in Europa. And even between running into a vessel and running her down there is, we humbly suggest, a very wide difference. We may " call spirits from the vasty deep," but whether they will obey our behest and come is an other matter, and.,the ability of one vessel, what-- ever her power, to run down another, depends upon circumstances over which little control can be exer cised. In nineteen out of twenty collisions at sea the result is simply to damage one of the vessels or both, and it is only when a vessel is struck by an other stem on, on her broadside ? or in some other vulnerable part, that she is so damaged as to sink. The momentum with which steam batteries would strike an opposing body would, no doubt, be im mense, but in many cases this would simply cause the two vessels to become locked, and it would re quire considerable force to separate them. Theie is another danger lurking in these "running down" speculations. If a man like Nelson had found him self pursued by one of those batteries what would his ready genius and daring have suggested ? What, but to get ready his boarders, and on the contact of the vessels, in the first moment of colli sion, to send them swarming over the bulwarks of the foe, to -hoist the union Jack on the shrouds of the enemy's ship. In such a case, the commander of a steam battery might find that he had caught a Tartar. We throw out these suggestions, not with the view of detracting from the merits of these ves- Kis of war, but for the purpose of guarding the public from attaching to them an overweening import ance. Great things were anticipated from the bat teries constructed during the Russian war, which many persons thought would prove invincible, but when put to the proof they accomplished nothing whatever. The batteries now constructed may prove far more serviceable, but that they will re alise all the exaggerated results that are expected from them is a simply, absurd conjecture. The truth is, , tliat in the science of , warfare, as in all other sciences, we must be content to advance step by step, and to make secure the inventions of to day before we attempt to perfect tho4o of to mor row,—Steam.

ALLEGED ARBITRARY CONDUCT OF TURKISH OFFICIALS.---LIVERPOOL, Thursday.--The Turkish Go vernment was the object of some animadversion here to-day, in consequence of the detention of the ship Romance of the Lee at Constantinople while on her voyage to Ibrail. Cap tain Havelock, of that ship, was obliged to deliver up to the government officials 250 barrels of gunpowder, which had been shipped on board his vessel at Liverpool for a firm in Ibrail. Fortunately the captain succeeded in procuring a roosipt for tbp gunpowder takeit from 9hboar4 his ship. as of bs" Dra t ' 0 0 ' fili t.
