The Curacoa, Diadem, and Racoon, 22 and 21 gun corvettes, are about complete ; the Diadem wants; perhaps a score. The men who have entered for these ships lately have been volun teers from others, not new men from the shore. The ship Indiana, Captain Etson, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday from Moulmein, with a cargo of timber for her MAjeOr's dockyard. The Dragon, 6, steamer, has been docked at Chatham for the purpose of being repaired. The Aid _and the Duck freight ships, are ordered to have defects made good at Chatham.

" Sir,—Pursuant to the request contained in your letter to me of yesterday's date, I beg leave to state that I questioned Park as to the exact details which followed the landing at Sapri, as well as what measures were there taken by the master of the Cagliari steamer, and where they first saw the Neapolitan frigates wbieh sub sequently captured the Cagliari, and I have obtained from Park the following statement, viz., that when the Cagliari arrived at Capri, the individuals wboformed the band of insurgents that bad embarked at Genoa, with the exception of the three chiefs, seeing the insufficient nuin her of men that they had embarked at Ponza, to carry out their revolutionary plans requested the master to take theni to Sardinia, or back to Genoa.. That the master refused to do so, giving as a reason that he had not coal sufficient for the voyage, and must proceed to Naples for a supply. That when all the insurgents had landed, the master called the bona Pie passengers and crew together to con .ult as to what. should be done, and proposed that they should all proceed to Naples, to inform the Neapolitan Government of the violence to which they had been sub. j-cted, and to inform, as well, their own (Piedmontese) authorities of all that bad occurred, "This proposal met with universal approbation, and on the night of the 28th of June, immediately after the landing of the insurgents, they steered for Naples. At 8 30 a.m. of the 29th they first sighted the Neapolitan frigates, at which time the Cagliari was directed on the centre of the Island of Capri, That the moment the frigates were discerned the master ordered the helm to be put down, and altered his cource so as to meet the frigates. " That from the time the frigates were seen, until they were met by the Cagliari, about one hour and a quarter had passed. That when the master went on board the frigate Tenceedi, the Cagliari was distant about_ ten miles from Capri. "Nothing particular passed with respect to Park himself. "I beg leave to add that, accompanying my despatch of the 2d inst., I had the honour to transmit to the Sec retary of State a book published by the counsef for the defence of the Cagliari, termed Difesa del Cagliari,' which contains all Ihe facts, as well as a map showing the exact spot where the Cagliari was captured.

BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, . - Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, _Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Sec., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the hAeltb, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. c e e n e dhe It Is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are Principles of personal management which cannot be violated with oat incurring beinc geumrriintigted grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret sue d the w th heydayee of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penaltlin m vii an h d o i w ts th ca e na s s t q in n g en o n f es th m ei a r y b b it a te a rzs d s ed T a y n b d e , a r b em av o e v a e n d : that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

It is formidable in amount, and the greater portion merely confirms the intelligence we have from time to time communicated in these columns. There are two letters in the collection, however, one that of Count Cavour (dated March 18th, 1858), in reply to a despatch of the Neapc• litan Minister Carafe, the other that of the Marqu's d'Azeglio to the Earl of M3lmesbury, dated March 24th, which we shall extract. The first, after demolishing the Commander Carafa's arguments to show the legality of the capture, thus spiritedly concludes : " This brief notice will convince the Commander Carafe that the case has brought forward does not in the least degree strengthen his argument; but that, on the contrary, it demolishes it most completely. " Summing up the facts thus far discussed, the Go vernment insists upon its former demands for the resti tution of.the Cagliari and the liberation of the individuals on board the same, declining to take any account of the asserted pending legal decisions, the cause from which they are derived being an illegitimate one. It is of no ooneequencre that Rubattino or Sitzia, the former the owner of the vessel, and the latter its ca pt a i n , h ave recr f e M sed the jurisdiction of the. Prize Commission. The rights contende d for by the Sardi n i an G overnmen t are international rights, founded upon the principles of public order and sovereignty, which c anno t poss ibly to invalidated by the acts committed by one or more sub jects, especially under circumstances in which the latter were deprived of liberty of action. Besides which, the firm of Rubattino admitted, by its acts, the exception of incompetency of the courts of the Ki ng d o m of Naples, nor does there exist any precise act of adhesion to the said c' arts upon the question of the merits of the case. "Equally useless it is to say that the foreigner is sub ject to the laws of the country in whi c h he has committed an offence. The competency which derives its . efficacy, on account of crime, implies the presence of the criminal in the territory where he has rendered himself guilty ; but where the delinquent is no longer to be found, the territorial Sovereign can certainly require that the ac cused shall be tried by the tribunals of bis own country, but has not the power of arresting him in the territory of his native State. Now, the Cagliari, on the high ass, was a fraction of the Piedmontese territory, and the Neapolitan force bad no greater right to arrest there the individuals who were embarked on board her, than it had, bad they been overtaken in the port of Genoa, or in the streets of Turin. The presence in Salereo of the supposed guilty persona is the consesjesnce of a vt , lttion of territory, and an illegal act does not originate any right in the tribunal which is discussing the penal suit Whence it follows, as I have already mentioned in niy despatch of the 16'h of January, that the Neapolitan courts of law may institute proceedings in contuatet, against wharrslever they presume to have taken part in the attempts at pooza and Sapri, without, however, the t o s l h i m a l i l ta n f o o t r c t l h o e se purpose e s o o f a seizing t t i h o e u t a crceups replying Sicilian force being empowered to transgress the terri torial it atin we th re is , a a ff t atihrencnotnhcinlugeimonnroefishrisegruepirleyd. t o an observation thrown ou t b y C omman d er Carafe 414- d re e rl t a a r i k lY s ' , th an il a careful and regul ar trial, as England herself has de clared.

"I know perfectly well that, is questions like the present one, each State regulates lie conduct according to the impression it has of its own rghts ; and I am also aware that the British Government, in the official.and written communications made to the Government of Sardin;a, has considered the capture of the Cagliari upon the same principles contended for by no, and has ex pressed a hope that the King's Government would oppose so open a violation of the rights of nations. "In this state of things i enjoin you to renew to the Government of Naples the already preferred demand, for the restitution of the vessel, together with the , entire cargo, and, consequently of the crew and passengers arrested on board her. " Should the Neapolitan Government persist in this unjustifiable refusal, his Majesty's Government will then have to take such measures as the gravity of the case, and the offended rights of the State, may require and suggest.

The note of the Marquis d'Azeglio is equally notable for its spirit. The intimation that Sardinia will pursue the course of justice even independent of English policy, is an expression of national dig nity on the part of a weak state that may well shame the more powerful, The letter runs thus : "THE MARQUIS D'AZEOLIO TO THE EARL OP A 1 ALMESBURT. "23, Park-lane, March 24, 1858. " The undersigned, Envoy Extraordinary and Minis ter Plenipotentiary of his Majesty the King of Sardinia, has the honour to acknowledge the receipt of the note which his Excellency the Earl of Malmesbury, her Bri tannic Maj tsty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, did him the honour to address him yesterday. "In accordance with the desire which is therein ex pressed, he hastens to transmit to him the volume pub lished by the Neapolitan Government, entitled Snlla Preda del Cagliari.' " As he remarked to his Excellency, it was only on the supposition that the volume had already been trans mitted from Naples, that it was Lot included among the papers sent by the undersigned to the Foreign-office on the 22d instant. " In the note above mentionsd of yesterday's date, his Excellency the Earl of Malmesbury communicates to the undersigned some information relative to the note addressed on the sth of January last, to the President of the Council, by his Excellency her Britannic Majesty's Minister at Turin. According: to this information the essential part of this note is owing to an inadvertency on the part of her Britannia Majesty's Secretary of Legation. " The undersigned does not consider himself in any way authorised to make the slightest remark upon the importance of a misunderstanding of this sort, of which he received the first intimation from his Excellency in his interview the day before yesterday. This importance can only be equalled by that which an assertion so posi• tive, coming from her Britannic Majesty's representative, must have bad in the councils of the Government of the King. The opinions of the English Government have too much weight with the Cabinet of Turin, not to have exercised an important influence upon the determinations taken at that time. " But, on the other band, the undersigned is per suaded that he faithfully rJpresentc the sentiments of his Government in affirming that, in a question of this im portance, f ac ts ought to be taken into consideration rather than documents ; and in expressing once more the hope that, in consequence of the documents which have thrown a new light upon the capture of the Cagliari, and in consequence of the legal arguments which clearly prove, in the view of the Cabinet of Turin, the right to question the Neapolitan jurisdiction either to decide upon the capture or to try the crew, that the inadvertency or mistake may become a truth, and that the two Cabinets, relying upon the same principles of international law, may act in concert to demand that which is their due. "At all events, if abandoned to its own resources, the King's Government has fully decided to follow up this affair with the prudence and moderation which have chaaracterisecl its acts hitherto, but also with the energy "THE EARL OF MALMEBBURY TO MR. LYONS. "Foreign-office, March 25, 1858. " Sir,—Her Majesty's Government have learnt with ranch satisfaction the release of Watt and the removal of Park from prison. Yon will, therefore, state to M. Carats that her Majesty's Government appreciate these acts of the King of Naples as resulting from the friendly feeling which his Majesty expresses towards her Majesty's Government ; but, at the same time, you will state that they cannot admit that the prima facie evi dence which was produced, as far as it is at present known to her Majesty's Government, could justify the prolonged confinement to which these British subjects have been exposed, and from which they have so se verely suffered.

Orders were yesterday received by the officer commanding the depot of the Ist battalion of the 19th Regiment at Chatham directing 170 non-com missioned officers and men of that corps, under the command of Captain L. D. H. Currie, to proceed from that garrison to Exeter for the purpose of join ing the 2d battalion of the 19th Regiment, now being formed. The Royal Artillery garrison orders-of Saturday announced the half-yearly inspection to take place this week at Woolwich in the following order, —namely, the brigade of the Royal Horse Artillery to be a4sembled on Woolwich-common, in heavy _ _ marching order, this (Monday) morning, to be in spected by the General commanding the garrison. To-morrow the General will go through an exami nation of the books and official documents belong ing to the Horse Artillery and inspect the barrack quarters, and afterwards proceed to the encamp ment and make an inspection of the field batteries. On Wednesday the whole of the battalions will he drawn up in review order on the parade ground, and will undergo au inspecion of arms, accoutre ments, &c. On Thursday a general survey and examination of the entire barrack quarters will take place, to be followed by a visitation through ihe sick wards of the infirmary. According to the nails er-roll last week, the battalions, as well as the mounted corps of the regiment, are considerably below the prescribed number, nevertheless the large number of 546 are at present under medical treat ment in the artillery hospital. To-day has been fixed for the battery of the Royal Artillery, which has been for some time stationed at Leeds, to leave that town for Woolwich. On Saturday the men presented a war trophy to the Leeds Cerporation. The trophy consisted of an ammunition waggon which was captured frsm the Russians at the battle of lukerman by this battery. The presentation was made in the yard of the Court-house by Major Franklyn, the commander of the battery, who was accompanied by Lieut. Muttlebury and a number of the n on-commissioned officers. The Mayor (Mr. P. Fairbairn) returned thanks on behalf of the corporation, and referred to the good feeling which has subsisted between the Artillery and the inhabitants of the town, ex pressing his regret that the battery was about to leave Leeds. The waggon will be placed on Wood house-moor, at the outskirts of the town, by the side of the two Russian guns that were presented to the authorities of the borough by the Govern ment. Major Travers, barrackmaster of Portsmouth garrison, has just retired on his full pay, after hold that office over a period of 45 seats, during which time he has filled most of the important civic posts in the municipality, and is at present the senior magistrate. Major Travers, prior to entering the army, served as a midshipmen in the Diana frigate, under Captain Malind, for three years, on the West India station, and was frequently engaged in boats cutting out vessels under the batteries at the islands of Curacoa and Cuba. In July, he embarked with a detachment of the Rifle Brigade for South America, and was severely wounded in the shoulder at the attack on the suburbs of Buenos Ayres on the 3d of July, 1807, but this did not prevent his entering the town on the sth with General Crawfurd's Brigade. He served under Sir John Moore during the campaign and retreat to Corunna in 1808-9, and subsequently accompanied his regi ment to Walcheren. From 1811 to 1814 he served in the Peninsula, and was present at the battle of Salamanca, where his horse was shot under him when acting as adjutant ; he was present at the capture of the French rear-guard on the following day, the capture of Madrid and the Retiro, the affair near Val Moresco, covering the siege of Bur gos, and several skirmishes on the retreat to Por tugal ; commanded the advanced guard of the Light Brigade at the battle of Vittoria, the Pyre nees, and various affairs of outposts. At Vera Bridge he commanded the advanced picket. Iu 1814 he accompanied his regiment to America, and was severely wounded in the attack on New Orleans. He has received the war medal with three clasps. Major Hall, from Shorncliffe, suc ceeds Major Travers.

Joseph Shepherd, the murderer of Bethel Park. inson, on Wadsworth Moor, near Halifax, under went the extreme penalty of the law on Saturday at noon. The culprit was visited on Friday night by the Rev. J. Parkes, who arrived at the condemned cell at 11 o'clock, and remained with the wretched man until 5 o'clock on Saturday morning. Shep herd, if it be possible, was more hardened than ever, for when the rev. gentleman conversed with him upon the concerns of his soul, and offered up prayer iu his behalf, lie laughed aloud. Mr. Parkes re monstrated with the culprit, but all his efforts were of no avail. He told the prisoner that he could not expect happiness and rest in the next world if he acted in that manner, upon which he remarked, with a smile, " If there's no rest for me in the next world, I might as well have as much rest here while I stop," anti then laid himself down on his bed. Several times during the night he re-asserted his innocence. He slept at intervals, and at four o'clock he went into a sounder sleep than usual. Mr. Noble, the governor, also visited the un hapyy man, and in the course of conversation he told him that if he died in his present state, and did not repent ef his sins, ho would surely go to hell. The culprit answered, "Never, I shall be all right in the snowy weather ; I shall be right during one half-year, when the weather's cold." The culprit also made a similar observation to Mr. Green, the deputy-governor. Shepherd was removed from the condemned cell to a room on the opposite side of the Castle-yard, and adjoining the so tffold, at about six o'clock in the morning. When the officers were ready to con duct him, the culprit walked away quietly, his nerves were unshaken, and he appeared determined to meer his fate with perfect coolness, and to retain his self-possession and fortitude to the last. On coming through the office, in which there is a clock, Shepherd looked at it, and observed the li tie pointer at six, remarked, " When that gets to the top I shall be done for ; it will be all over then." On dressing himself ho was full of joke and fun. When the officers of the prison were conducting him across the castle yard he was in high glee, and laughed as before. He looked at Clifford's Tower, and said, " That's the old tower, I suppose." Since his trial the culprit had never been heard to utter a word of prayer, and his conduct through out had been of the most callous character. When he arrived in the apartment adjoining the scaffold, he threatened that when be was on the drop, if he had the chance, he would " knock Jack Ketch over," The culprit, since his condemnation, had expressed a wish that he could obtain arsenic and poison himself, and had said that he deserved to be hanged, although he did not murder Parkinson, still maintaining his asseveration of innocence. During the 25 years that Mr. Noble has been at York Castle, he has known about 20 men suffer death on the scaffold, but in all his experience he never met with a m in Hee Shepherd, so hardened, so callous, anti so lost to all sense of religion. The Under-Sheriff (William Gray, D'q.), arrived at the Castle at a quarter to 12 ; and at 12 .he procession made its appearance on the scaffold, Shepherd being attended by the Rev. Mr. Parkes and the gaol officials. He was held by Mr. Green l the under-keeper, until the executioner completed his arrangements, and repeated two-orthree tnr v ell " Lord, have mercy on me," after which ttun cll ed was withdrawn, and the unhappy n'a n fi short into eternity. lie btruggled very vi mu c e v reather was time.

At its gates the destitute, no matter of what nation, of what religion, or no matter how much strangers to the metropolis, eeek and receive medical rslief and assistance, according to the means of the institution and the relative necessity of the cases. '- The circumstances which led to the establishment of the hospital of itself shows the class cf distress which it is intended to relieve. One night during the winter of 1827 a wretched female under 18 years of age, was found 13 ins on the steps of St. Andrew's, Holborn actually s perishing•from • disease and famine. She was a total London, strange r to London, without a single friend, and died in the e workhous e two days after, unknown and unrecog ta.as witnessed human b e i ng . Thi s dist r es s in g c irc ums t ance vi l by a geutietuan n ho had preciously been much struck with theevils which must result to the sick 4 destitute stran ger from h system . of requiring letters of r ecommendation before admit mg the sick poor into the public hospitals, and with the assistance of several gen tlemen he succeeded in founding a medical charity in - which destinitiontand disease"alone should be t he pass port for obtaining free and instant relief. The first build ing was in Greville-street, Ilatton-garden' and was called "The London General Institution for the Gratui- tees Care of Malignant Di s eases," and was open in 1828, and through obtaining the countenance and am port of King George IV., the D oke of Gloucester, the corporation of London, and many et.lvi o e means of utility went on increasing until le3n, when toe. nest visitation of the cholera brake out iu London, when, to fully carry out the free principle of the charity, the governors 'brew open the doors of the institution to all persons affi cted with the malady, notwittanding that irom the supposed contagious nature o 'the disease all other hospitals had closed their doors against them, when 700 patients were admitt(id. In the second eisita tion of 1549, upwards of 3,000 cholera patients were admitted to the hospital ; and in 1854 upwards of 6,000 cholera patients were is 1 eyed by the institution. Oa the death of George IV., William IV. became the patron of the institution, and changed its name to the Free Hospital, and her present Majesty on her accession becasue the patroness of the hospital, and com manded that in future it should be called the Royal Free Hospital. In 1840-41 the governors petitioned tie House of Commons for a grant to erect more commodi ous premises, which, however, was not granted, on the ground that it would lead to numberless similar applica tions. In 1842 the governors, upon their own responsi- Leility, purchased the extensive premises in the Gray's• inn-road known as the barracks of the Light Horse Voluuteers, which had become vacant at about that time, Upon the death of the Duke of Sussex a subscrip tiers was entered into for erecting a monument to his memory, and the subscribers, after several meetings, agreed that the most suitable mode of carrying out the intention of the fund would be to erect a wing to the Royal Free flosretal, to he called the Sussex Wing, which was accoialingly done, and which aa, opened in 1856. Yet, in spite of the increased accommodation • thus afforded to the institution in lofty and well-venti lated wards, the funds have not increa,•ei in proportion, and more than one-half of the beds are at present unoc cupied from want of means, and day by day the officers have to perform the difficult and ungracious task of choosing from among the scores of heart-rending cases which present themselves for admission a few of the most urgent cases to fill the limited number of beds which the contracted meat s of the hospital allow of being kept full. The charity is still bur dened with a considerable debt, which swallows up a large proportion of the annual receipts. Of the receipts for 1856 one-ha'f had to be applied to the liquidation of out standing liabilities. The receipts for 1857 have fallen so far short cif the expenditure that the committee assert that unless the public come forward in support of the in stitution, the sphere of its charitable operations will have to be st 11 further curtailed. There is one unfortunate class to the consideration of whose position much public attention has lately been directed, to whom the Royal Free Hospital is indeed a blessing. The wretched female wanderers in sickness are the outcasts of that society whose vices had been mainly instrumental in bringing them to their degraded position, alike without character and friends who will step forward to recommend their admission into medical charities, even were their cases known to those who have the power of doing so. Though lost and degraded as they are in the eyes of the world, by none is the shame of their position more keenly felt than by themselves. No (natter how deep may be the abyss of shameless iniquity into which they have fallen during their sinful c,reer, there is yet generally to be found among the " unfortunate" class sufficient recollec tion of happier and more innocent days to lead them to shun publicity and exposure, even though their health. or indeed their life, may depend upon it. At the Royal Free Hospital a large proportion of the patients beloug to this class, and upon entering the institution the last and only gate through which they are ever disposed to return to a life of re-pectability i.s not closed against them by extorting from them their name, residence, and the particulars of their irtunate condition. No matter who applies to the institution for relief, no resister records against them their past errors. They enter without ques tion under any assumed name, or even a number, and without their own wish no attempt is made to inquire into their real condition and circumstances. They are re garded only in the light of destitute sick, and treated as such. The result of this method of alleviating " the social evil" speaks volumes in its favour. The unfortu nate females to whom for years probably the very nameci kindness and sympathy have been unknown, aretouched by the deference which is shown to their feelings, and learn to believe that all the world does not join in the indiscriminate outcry against them, sooner than face which in reforming their lives they have fled before it, and plunged recklessly into the lowest sea of vice. After each service on Sunday the chaplain waits in his private room to speak to those who may wish to com municate the nature of their condition to him in confi dence. In this way, through the chaplain, communica tions are often opened between the penitents and their families, who are thus often induced to receive them back, in consideration of the worst phases of the life of their errinir relative remaining a secret known only to the chaplain and theme-lves. Stride the 'establishment of the hospital nearly 60,000 of this class of females have been received into the wards of the institution in a state of destitution and disease, and of these one in 11, or between 5,000 and 6,000, have, through the kind and judicious system pursued, been reclaimed from their abandoned condition and have become useful and re spectable members of the community. Those who would really wish to aid in alleviating the peat and increasing social evil with which this city is afflicted will find a field for their labours in this institution more extensive and more fruitful in good eoilts than can elsewhere be obtained. If at any time the heart of even the most hardened among mankind is susceptible of the softening influence of penitence, it is during the hour of sickness. The busy whirl and excitement of even a life of sin does not allow of time for reflection ; but during the long and tedious hours of a lingering illness is the proper time for attempting the reformation cf the members of this un fortunate class, who are the curse of themselves and of the society they live in. Much good has been done by this institution, but its field of usefulness is capable of immediate extension. We have already stated the diffi cult financial position in which it is placed, and we leave it in the hands of the public to say whether its good work shall be extended. THE Ava. —Since our last issue we have had no fur ther particulars from this out station of the catastrophe beyond the following :—" All the treasure is likely to be saved from the Ava-250,000/. The vessel is gone to pieces ; most of the passengers have lost everything they possessed. She struck on some sunken rocks, within half a mde of the shore, about 15 miles to the north of Trincomalee. All these rocks are down in the charts. Even the small schooners and dhonies never corse so close in, in the monsoon. All the passengers embarked last evening, the 20th inst., in the steamer Granada, sent from Gale for them, and were to start at ton at night." So ends the history of the Ava, pending the ne cessary it quiries as to the cause of the loss of this fine vessel, one of the best vessels of the Peninsular and Oriental Company on the line between Calcutta and Suez. The Granada, Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer, has taken on our Ceylon mails and the passen gers of the ill-lated Ava to Suez, but the Calcutta and Madras mails are totally lost as yet. It may be that they may be ultimately fished up, and if they have been well soldered in iron boxes the letters may eventually be removed with little or no damage.
