B. COURTENAY, And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the Cure . of Strictures of tile Urethra. " This nark 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 rower in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of •i.he scientiflc.principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic mann gement 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. Ist, 1858.

Orders addressed to THE ATHERTON COLLIERY COMPANY, 31, Threadneedle-street, E.C., will meet .with immediate attention. the direction of the Major-General, the whole of which were gone through in an exceedingly effec tive,manner, the numerous brigade fold days .held during the last summer having proved of the utmost advantage to the troops, in enabling them to ac quire a knowledge of military. movements. Col. Commandant I'. P. Dwyer, ofthe Plymouth Division of Royal Marines, has been placed'on the retired . list, under the provisions of the Order in Council.of the 13th of Nov., 1859. On resigning command of the division the gallant colonel notified in public orders, " that in ,thus sc•'ering the tie which from early youth has bound him to the gal lant corps in which it has been his study to perform his duty as he conceived best for the interests of the service, he cannot repress the pang that every heart must feel at parting from the comrades of a long life—the officers, non-commissioned officers, '-and privates of the Royal Marines. He wishes them a kind good-bye, health, prosperity, and hap piness." Col. Second,Commandant T.'Lemon, C. 8., has assumed command of the division. bear strongly on this subject, and I am sure they will deserve your attention. It is often said by people in this country that we need not be afraid of the French, for we have a great mercantile navy of 220,000 sailors, who at any time can be added to our regular navy, and therefore we are perfectly secure. In the present state of matters I pray you to observe this—the great mercantile navy of England, so far from being a refuge or support, is—people say that it can be made otherwise—but as matters stand it is the most serious weakness that we hare, The wages of the seamen in the mercantile navy are 50s. a month, while the wages of seamen in the Royal navy are only 31s. a month. (Hear.) It has been often said, how does it happen that there are so many English sailors in the American navy ? And. in the late strife with that country we were really often fighting our own navy. The answer to that question simply is, that there is wonderful strength in half a dollar a-day. (Hear, hear.) That is the way that matter stands as regards our mercantile navy. How can we ex pect that men, many of them having families, are to join the Royal navy at so great a loss ? Do not, therefore, let us lay our heads on our pillows and say we are perfectly safe because we have a great mercantile navy. Our mercantile navy is just a huge competitor which drains men from the royal navy. Then, again, consider the state of the army. When the militia, were called out in January last there were 100,000 men less in the militia and regular army than had been .voted by the Parliament of last year. Now, how was that ? I will tell you how it was. It was just an affair of money, like the other. The pay of the soldier is ls. hi.a-day, and the same class of men are earn in at their respective employments 25., 2s. 6d., 35., Its.; or :ss. a-day. Can you wonder that there is a difficulty in raising men for the royal army when you see that there is such a difference in the reward ? Now, there is our great weakness and our danger—so that when men point to our navy and our army we see that they are a great weak ness, instead of being the greatest possib!e source of strength to us. There is another consideration of the hist importance, and it is this,—unlike any other country in Europe, we are eompelled to main- thin an immense standing army in India and in the colonies. At this moment there are 90,000 men in India, and 30,000 or 40,000 in the colonies, making a total of 130,000 veterans.who are out of the country. The only other State which has to maintain an army abroad is France, which has a certain number of soldiers in Algeria. They, how ever, can be brought over in. a few days to be of service in Europe.. But there is another most im portant consideration in addition to these—viz., that we have for the last 15 years been subject to so serious a drain in the. way of emigration. You may not all be aware, but recent Parliamentary returns prove, that during that time about 3,000,000 persons have emigrated, averaging about 2j0,000 a•yeor ; and you will be able to form some idea of the drain that has been made on the mill- tary service, when I say that annual drain by emi gration has been double the loss sustained by the empire of France from the retreat from Moscow. Now, I never bring forward evils unless I can point out a remedy. I think I will be able to point out how it is that these evils may be icinedied, and how it is that we will be able to make our strength of what at present is the source of our weakness. (Hear., The first step I would take in this matter vould . be at ore blow, and without the least delay, to raise the pay of the soldiers and sailors and the militia from is. ld. to is. Bd. or 2s. a day. (Applause.) If you do this for the military, and do the same for the royal navy, nil will find that the ships of the line will be filled igth sailors, and you will find the ranks of the regular army will be filled with able and valiant men, and you will have no difficulty whatever in raising such a force as is requisite to defend the country. The next measure that I would propose is this :—We are told that it would be very expensive to do that; ,hat the country cannot afford it i that it is •abso- lutely necessary to attend only to a volunteer force, and not do anything with regard to the regular army. I will say here that I am as great a friend of the volunteer force as any man alive, but we are told that the country cannot affird to pay their troops and their sailors in such a way as to gain an efficient body of men, I may state that I have gathered from a Parliamentary return issued the other day that, since the year 1814, we have repealed taxes to the amount Of 131,500,000, £10,600,000 being the double ineonie-tax. That we all knoW. There re mains, therefore, £21,500,000 that has been given up since 1844. Now, one-fourth of that sum would raise the pay of our soldiers and sailors to an ade quate amount, and would put us in a state of com parative security. What in comparison with the restoring of those indirect taxes in a question of pounds, shillings, and pence, is the danger of being conquered by te French? I will just give you one or two facts to let you know what you may ex pect if the French ever conquered this country—(a laugh)—in addition to the horrors of war and the massacre of men. In the matter of pounds, shil lings, and penco, it will affect the pockets of every human being in the country. In 1808, Napoleon went to Portugal, and he said he came as a libera tor, to free the Portuguese from their yoke. The first thing he did when he got into Lisbon was to by a contribution of £4,000,000 sterling of Poitu geese money, equal to at least £10,000,000 in Scot land. Napoleon went in 1796 to Milan as a libe rator, and the first thing he did was to impose £BOO,OOO upon the liberated city. He then went to Venice, and he imposed there £2,500,000. In 1806 he went to Prussia, and levied upon Prussia—con taining only about 4,000,000 or 5,000,000 of inhabi tants—a contribution to the amount of £24,000,000 sterling, and he actually squeezed the money out of the country in the five years by military occupa tion. In 1812, he said, in a letter to Davoust, when that General was in Hamburg, " If you4iad shot six of the principal merchants of Hamburg, on the day you entered, it would have been well ; but as you have not done that, you must just make them pay for it, and, therefore, I require you to lay hold of 200 of the principal merchants. and keep them as hostages for the payment of 50,000,000 fr.," and he actually levied that sum, equal to about £2,000,000 sterling, upon Hamburg, which at that time only contained about 80,000 inhabitants, and the in position would be equal to £10,000,000 in this city. You see at what price the peace-at-any price gentlemen would purchase their salvation. (A laugh.) I would say that although we may by increasing the pay increase our regular forces, and of course our militia, yet it is indispensable that we should, in addition, have the support of a great body of volunteers. I hope that the time is coming when we shall see 30 sail of the line in the Channel, when we shall see 15 sail of the line in the Mediterranean, 100,000 regular troops in Great Britain, and 80,000 militia. tam sure the object could be gained if the Government would adopt the plan which I propose, and I am sure no one would feel it a burden. That done, all that we require is the assistance of a great volunteer force. A force that would bring 100,000 men together in stead of 20,000, which could be done now in front of London, would not be sufficient, unless it were sup ported by a great force in the rear, for the French, if they once got the command of the Channel, could throw as many men over in a week as they brought to fight at Solferino. But if there is a sufficient and adequate volunteer force in the country, then I say we may be altogether invincible. I do not pretend to say that volunteers, however brave and skilful they may be, can at once be brought to equal efficiency with regular soldiers, but I say that volunteers may be the greatest of supports to a nation engaged in a struggle for independence, when I find that in Portugal the Duke of Welling ton, with 30,000 regular troops and 30,000 Portu guese—a brave volunteer force—resisted the efforts of 300,000 Frenchmen, whereas in Spain, with a similar force, the attenipt ended in nothing but de feat. In conclusion, I would say that what I think should be done in order to render the country com paratively safe is to bring all its best resources to bear at once upon its necessities. I look around me, and see an excellent body of 2,000 volunteers, that, lam sure, will be second to none in the world in bravery, skill, and military discipline. (Cheers.) What I think should be done is that there should be a thorough organisation. Now, where would be the point of danger? The point of danger would be l.ondon or. 'Woolwich. Woolwich, being our only arsenal, would probably be one of the first places attacked. We must not only have great re sources in Scotland and England, and other parts, but we must have the means to bring these resources at onco to bear on the point ofdanger. Now,if France landed on the coast of Sussex, in five days they would be in London if they were not resisted. Now, consider this ; we have a railway system throughout the whole country, and by its means the volunteers might be sent up to the support of the regulars from Plymouth and other places. They could sup port them as light troops in every possible way, and in that way they could more than double the strength of the whole army. (Cheers.) With these volunteers in the various parts of the country Great Britain would be altogether invincible. I will con clude with one observation, with a most memorable instance, which will show you what is the wonder- PRICE 4 D . SXAM?ED, SD. ful effect of organisation, as compared with the effect of having isolated bodies of men not trained to act together. It is not long since a terrific tempest passed ever Great Britain. It was a tempest so violent that it strewed with wrecks the shore of the country. It tried to the utmost the beams of the Great Eastern, the greatest vessel that ever breasted the waves; it broke into a thousand pieces the Royal Charter, which had sailed safely through the Southern Ocean. But, gentlemen, in that ter rific storm, when the storm was scattering every navy in Europe, the Channel Fleet nobly breasted the gale, the Admiral hung out the signal," Put in order of battle," they went directly in the teeth of the wind, and, in the eloquent words of the per son who described it in the inws, they sped like dolphins beside the Eddyston e Lighthouse, the most dangeroas position of the channel, and they rode triumphantly through the most terrible gale that modern times has seen. You see hem the difference between organised efforts -of brave men, and iso lated efforts of men equally brave, it may be equally skilful, but not trained by organisation and pline. When I look around me at this Ytiommt, when I contemplate similar meetings in every part of the country, I see the nation, which has been. weakened for a long time, consolidating its strength, and supporting bodies which have the might of armed .men. And I trust that the omen of the Channel Fleet surmounting all the dangers. of that terrible tempest is an omen of the correspond ing victory that will accrue to the British empire if the same spirit which I see around me, and which animated those brave men on that occasion, is shared by the people in other parts of the country, and that, in the words of Homer, It is an omen in the cause of Ood." (Enthusiastic applause.) The resolution was carried amid great accla malion. Sheriff BELL moved the second resolution : "That the organisation, on a wide and extensive scale, of volunteer corps in aid of her Majesty's regular forces, ought to be promoted among all classes, the defence of the country being thereby largely intrusted to the loyalty and patriotisth of its people." We all remember that not many months have passed since one of our Government Ministers pub licly declared that the question of peace or war with France eras only a question of a few hours. That crisis we have most fortunately passed over; but it will not do for this country to lie on its oars, and pooh pooh the danger, saying we will .be ready to meet it when the time conies. (Loud cheers.) This is the first time in the history of the world that our steam navy has been so low as to be on an equality with France. Now, it is not an old woman's tale that in this state of matters it is pos- sible, were any question of war to spring' up—it is not an old woman's story that it is perfectly pos sible that 100,000 French troops could be landed in one day on the shores of Great Britain. Cer tainly no old woman, but the greatest man that ever set foot on British soil, the late Duke of Wel7 liiigton, who, in April, 1846, in a celebrated letter, addressed Sir John Burgoyne, in which he admitted as an imperative necessity the existence of a force in this country of 150,000 men. lie says : " As we stand now, our fleet is not enough to provide for our defence. We are not safe for a week. I am an old soldier of 77 years of age—years which I have passed in honour; and I pray that the Almighty will not permit me now to see what I cannot prey 'ail upon my contemporaries to take means to prevent." General Shaw Kentiedy, who has consulted with many of our best admirals, says : " An important view has been taken by Admiral Sarto rius, in a letter to the Times, of the possibility of a landing being effected in this country by a hostile force, in which is pointed out the means now given to France, by the power of steam, to direct upon any named point of the coast of Britain or of Ireland steam vessels from any number what ever .of the ports of France, so as tc arrive at the named point at almost the same hour." If we are to suppose the possibility of this invasion, the possibility of this landing, it is impossible we can have imaginations to conceive the result to this country. (Loud applause.) Principal BARCLAY, in seconding the resolution, said—Our duty is to be prepared in the most effec tual and economical manner that can be conceived. (Hear, hear.) The Rev. Dr. NORMAN M'LEOD, of the Barony, moved the third resolution. It was as follows : " That Glasgow, from her population and public spirit, and from the vast interests she has at stake in the preser- Totion of peace, is paled upon to place herself in the very . . front rank of such a movement ;- and this meeting views with the highest satisfaction the enthusiasm which has already led to the formation of so large and efficient a body of volUnteeri, and which iSW 7- e - eldy aadifig fo their iiitilftitr." - Mr. LAURENCE 01,1 PITAN T, who seconded the motion, said—More than two years have elapsed since I left England to proceed to China, and at the time of my departure not a word was heard of this great volunteer movement ; but when I now come back I find the volunteer spirit animating my coun trymen from one end of the kingdom to the other. And why ? When I look across the Channel and see the great and growing navy, and the mighty armaments in France and along the French coast, I do not wonder any longer at the enthusiasm which I see prevailing all around me. But having been part of those two years on board a man-of-war, at times in conjunction with French war-ships, and having actually seen them going through their naval operations, if it is any satisfaction,l may state —and in this every British officer who was present will bear me out—that we had ample proof of the inferiority of the French war-ships to our own in seamanship and skill. (Hear, and applause.) As au illustration, I may state that going up the Peiho little more than a year ago I was accommodated in an English gunboat, and in going round one of the narrow sharp corners of that river we saw a French gunboat on a sandbank—as French gun boats often were—and our Lieutenant, who was a good fellow, determined to go and help her off. The French officer, who spoke English pretty well, came on board to explain his difficul ties; and at this moment the British Admiral came by. " What are you doing there, sir ?" he ex claimed. To which my friend, the lieutenant, re plied in his kindly, rough, bold voice—" I am-tak ing care of this Frenchman, sir." (Laughter and applause.) And when I look across the Channel to France and see the man who fills the throne of that empire, I say, though in a very different sense, -" Take care of the Frenchman." I say it is impos sible to regard the attitude which this country holds on the continent of Europe, and without re flecting on the policy of our Government — and without saying that this attitude can be avoided, I think it must be plain to all of us that our position in reference to the kingdoms of Europe is a dan gerous and an anomalous one. We are the cham pions of liberty—we are wedded to that sacred principle, and yet we arc allied with ',a man who is kept on his throne by hundreds of thousands of bayonets. This is an inconsistency, and, like all other inconsistencies, it will in the course of time work out evil consequences. In the meantime we are doing our best to keep on friendly relations with France, and we are right in so doing; but every body knows that it would be better lc carry on the war in China by ourselves. But. in order to please our ally, we are obliged to join our forces to those of the Emperor, or at least we are obliged to wait for them. At the same time we may not say what we think, or do what is right in reference to .the Spanish affair, because the Emperor supports the policy of Spain as regards Morocco. A Congress, we are told, is to assemble, and we are to be invited to join it ; but it is easy to see what will 'be the consequences—it is easy to see that we will be in a minority amid these despotic nations, •and that their .counsels will be predominant. And under these circumstances it is not difficult to note that the position of things is preg nant with consequences serious to this country. It is said that the Emperor knows what are the feelings of this country as to an invasion; but I will say it is impossible for any one but a freeman to feel what the consequences of an invasion really are. No one but a freeman can experience that feeling which thrills the heart and tingles to the finger ends at the prospect of the invasion of his country. I thank God it is so. It is that feel ing which makes us well know that it is not until the head is in the lion's mouth that one feels the strength of his jaws. (Hear, hear.) Let us all be impressed with the truth of the fact that if is ne cessary to have a regular army to meet a regular army. Sir JAMES CAMPBELL moved the fourth resolu tion to the following effect : " That a subscription-list he immediately opened to pro vide funds in furtherance of this movement, and in supple ment of the Government supply ; that a general appeal be made to the citizens to aid it to the utmo s t by con t r ib u ti ons or personal service; and 'that a committee be appointed to superintend the management and distribution of the fund." Captain W. S. DIXON seconded the resolution, which was carried. Captain W. J. MACQUOIIN lIANuiNE proposed the fifth and last resolution as follows : " That as a volunteer organisation, to be thoroughly effective, must be general over the country, the resolutions of this meeting be published, in order to incite other locali ties to a similar course of action." The resolution was agreed to amid cheering. On the motion of Bailie CO'urEß, the thanks of the meeting were voted by acclamation to Bailie Clouston for presiding. The immense assemblage then dispersed. TILE VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT. GREAT DEMONSTRATION IN GLASGOW. In terms of a requisition addressed to the Lord Provost a meeting of the citizens was held in the City-hall, Glasgow, on Wednesday night," to con sider the best means of promoting and encouraging the volunteer movement in Glasgow." The hall was densely crowded in every corner, and the de monstration was of the most earnest, enthusiastic, and successful character. The general public was accommodated in the great hall, and the volunteers in uniform, to the amount of be.twein - 700 and 800, occupied tfiegalleries— , araagnitiZe c nt body o - fyoting men. The Lord Provost, who sympathised with the movement very heartily, was absent from indispo- sition. On the motion of Bailie Whyte, Bailie Clouston was called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN having opened the proceedings, Sir A. ALIsoN moved the first resolution, as fol lows : "That this meeting, while earnestly trusting that friendly relations will continue to be maintained with foreign States, is at the same time impressed with the conviction that the surest means of averting the danger of war, and continuing to our beloved land the blessings of peace and cornutercita prosperity. is a' thorough and complete system of national defence. , Sir Archibald then said—Gentlemen and fellow citizens—l am sure I speak the united voice of this great assembly when I say we owe a debt of grati tude to the Lord Provost for having called this meeting at this crisis. It was fitting for Glasgow, the first city in Scotland in population, in wealth, and in importance, to take the lead in this great movement—a movement which is felt from the Land's End, as has been stated, to the furthest extremity of Scotland—which, I trust, will enable the united British Empire to show a front to every hostile force, which may set the united powers of the world at defiance, and make us maintain that high position among the nations, and those liberties and that religion which have been handed to us by our noble predecessors. (Cheers.) Standing as I do in the heart of this great city, I need not say that the policy, the wishes, and the interest of England and Scotland are to re main at peace. No defensive preparations. no eli citing of unanimous enthusiasm in defence of the country, can ever give a foreign nation a pretext to say that we are actuated by aggressive motives, that we are disposed to invade or disturb other countries. We are essentially a pacific people. There is no war can be waged in any part of the world which does not strike at some British in dustry, and there is no war can be waged by our selves that would not bring upon us, if it were with a great Power, an amount of distress and suffering which it is painful to contemplate. Therefore, we are a pacific people. And if we now show a war like attitude, if we now show that we are deter mined to maintain the independence of the country and its honour and the honour and reputation of the State, it is not because we are a warlike or ag gressive people, but bemuse we are a free and inde pendent people, and that while we will do no injury to any man, we will allow no man to injure us. (Great applause.) It is not surprising to me that this crisis has arisen. It has arisen, I think, not so much from the aggressive policy of any foreign P.ower by which we may be immetliitkly threatened —it has arisen from a long succession of causes which are now beginning to tell upon us, and which have forced upon the nation and aroused in the nation the unanimous conviction that a great stand must be made for our liberties and our independ ence. (Cheers.) But the cause which has rendered this movement nemsary is just in its ultimate effects the great triumphs and the unparalleled glories that we have before achieved For what was the effect of those glories and of those triumphs It was that it bred in Great Britain a feeling of security—a feel ing that it was unnecessary to continue our efforts — that we might lay aside our armour and hang up our swords in our paternal halle i because that success led us to think that we should be able to stand against the world if it were opposed to us. That was the feeling that pervaded the nation of England, and hence it was that we disarmed to such an extent during the long period of 40 years. For whereas at the end of the late war we had 240 sail of the lino in• Royal yards, and 107 at sea bearing the Royal flag, we now have only 05 sail of the line in the dockyards, and 37 bearing the Royalfiag at sea. Besides this, we cannot bring forward more than 50,000 regular troops to defend the nation from inva sion. That was the consequence of the cause I have mentioned—of the feeling of unbounded security and confidence which arose from the magnitude of our former triumphs. But consider what the effect of that was upon other nations. We exhibited to them a ,spectacle which could not fail to produce heartburn in er among them, for they saw in us a wealth which they had not the industry to acquire, a liberty which they had not the stability to bear, a glory which they had not been able to attain. That led in all the nations of Europe to a feeling of jealousy towards this country, which will sooner or later lead to a general attack by them upon us. Such was the effect of the cause I have mentioned—an exhibition of envy on the one hand, and a remissness of pre paration on the other. We see the effect of this in the serious wars in which European nations have been lately engaged. We see that our want of pre paration tempted the Russians to cross the Pruth and led to the Crimean war. We see that immedi ately afterwards it led to a dreadful revolt in our Indian empire. We are already engaged in hostili ties with China, we are approaching to hostilities with America,nnd we are on very doubtful terms even with the great Power on the other side of the Channel. You will see, therefore, that our ideas of security have not been realised. On the contrary, so far from being secure, our danger arises from those circumstances, Mainly, that we have not made suffi-, ciont preparations to maintain our position. I have taken especial care in these remarks to say nothing in regard to that great Power, recently our ally— I hope it may never become our enemy—from which an attack is more immediately apprehended. I will always speak with respect of the French. I will always speak with respect of the Emperor of the French. (Applause, and some hisses.) I admire the talent, and I know the ability of the French Emperor. (" Hear, hear," and " Oh, oh.") Listen, gentlemen, to what I say. It is be cause I know the bravery of France, because I know the power of France, and because I know the spirit and the ability of the Emperor—it is just for this reason that I say the Volunto:r movement is indis pensably called for by Great Britain. (Tremendous a?plause.) This is not a case of dispute—it is not a quarrel or temporary necessity. France and Eng land have been old rivals. England was conquered by France 800 years ago in one battle fought on the coast of Sussex. It wag conquered br a province of France, and that is a warning and a lesson to us at this time. Seventeen years of slavery and suffering followed the conquest of England by France ; and what was the feeling aroused in Eng land by that circumstance ?It a feeling of revenge against France, and a number of times we invaded France. For 120 years the Eng lish wars desolated France, and twice over tho En glish army marched through the streets of Paris, and twice over the English cavalry marched from Calais to Bayonne. The nations of England and France, therefore, are old rivals. They are rivals of 800 old rivals, we have been so years'o often standing„en pitted againstai arid, bein g each other in the ring that it is no wonder they should like to avenge them selves for the last overthrow in the tournament. It is, therefore, necessary that we should be armed ; and I say that the French are brave and patriotic, and they are determined to rival us in every way they can ; but I say we are pat riotic, and we are brave, ,and we are as much .determined to maintain the power which we possess.. (Great applause.) There are many circumstances inde pendently of what I have said which loudly call for this movement, and which, although the sub ject has bean so often spoken of in public meetings in Great Britain, I am surprised to say I have never yet seen noticed. But, nevertheless, I hope when I have stated them you will see that they IHE NAVY. An order was issued yesterday at Portsmouth, signed by Admiral W. Bowles, C. 8., directing all captains in command of her Majesty's ships in Portsmouth harbour and at Spithead to assemble at a general court-martial on board her Majesty's ship Victory, in Portsmouth harbour, at 9 a.m. on the 26th inst., and such subsequent days as may be de termined upon, for the trial of a portion of the crew of her 11.1ajesty's - ship Princess Royal, on charges arising out of the late disturbances on board that ship. The screw gun! vessel Mohawk, 4, Commander P. J. C. M'Dougall, arrived at Plymouth on Wed nesday. She was placed alongside the coal depot in the Sound, and when coaled will sail for Gibral tar and Malta. The screw steamship Conflict, 8, Commander R. W. Courtenay, was taken out of No. 1 dock, at De vonport, on Wednesday, and placed in the basin at Keyham steamyardoyhere she will be docked. The screw steam corvette Jason, 21, was taken into No. 1 dock, at Devonport, on Wednesday, to be coppered. The screw steamship Trafalgar, 90, Capt. E. G. Fanshawe, will probably leave Plymouth to-day. The Firebrand, 6, paddle, Commander J. Day man, sailed from Portsmouth yesterday for Gib raltar, with the steam dredging vessel intended for service at Malta. The Ithadamanthus, paddle, Master-Commander Sturdee, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday from Woolwich, with boilers and machinery, &c. The Swinger and the Pincher gunboats, at Ports mouth, are ordered to be made ready for immediate service. The screw steamer Bacchante, 51, at Portsmouth, is complete in her machinery, with the exception of her propeller, and will shortly proceed on her trial trip. The screw steamer Himalaya, troopship, Com mander S. Seecombe, at Portsmouth, has had the date of her departure for China—the 4th proximo —cancelled. Her ultimate destination is at present uncertain. The crew have been granted extended leave of absence to the 3d proximo. Private letters from Shanghai received by the last mail state that the Cruiser was to resume her station off the mouth of the Peiho river in January. One letter says,—" The new landing place is no great distance from the river's moutli; we pulled ashore the other day, when a Chinese boat met us, in which were some mandarins in disguise; they wished to know what we wanted, when we replied that we had come to ask after the wounded prisoners, our countrymen. They said they had no prisoners; the only prisoner they had they gave up to the American Minister. Did we belong to those ships they could see off there, as they caused them a great deal of trouble? Did we want anything else? `es,' we replied, 'we want some sugar." Then, they could not give ns any ; they were not allowed to do so; and the sooner we were off the better;' and, finding that nothing could be made of them, wo followed their advice." The writer adds,—" During the time we were holding conversation with tho Chinese in the boat, we could see others in the I-lightly - oes pinnace pulling about the sunken Coro mandel, and appearing as though they were mak ing attempts to raise her from her position." The experiments with hollow shells filled with molten iron from a cupola furnace of new construe• tion were resumed at Portsmouth yesterday. On the former occasion, it will be in the remembrance of our readers, the shells were filled on board the Colossus, in the steam basin at Portsmouth, and fired from a gdn on board the Excellent gunnery ship, a considerable time elapsing between the shell being filled and its being fired at the object, render ing the result of the experiment futile for the pur pose intended. Since that time the Stork gunboat, tender to the Excellent, has been fitted with one of the cupola furnaces, and from this vessel the firing took place yesterday. The results were of the most satisfactory nature,proving the fearful powers of the missile on its effecting a lodgment in any part of a ship, as shortly after the firing commenced, the Un daunted frigate, moored on th mud of Porchester Lake (which was the object fired at), burst out into a mass of flame from the fore channels right aft, and burnt for some time furiously. The Stork then gave her some shots near her water line, and sank her as well as the depth of water would allow. A floating fire-engine was afterwards towed up by a steam-tug from the dockyard to put out the re mainder of the fire. From the appearance of the Undaunted when the tide had left her yesterday afternoon, the fire must have obtained great hold upon her before it was finally extinguished. It is impossible to attach too much importance to this undoubted proof of what a gunboat fitted like the Stork can do against an enemy's line-of-battle ship. A ship as large as the Duke of Wellington, 131 guns and 1,200 men, would have shared the fate of the Undaunted. The inventor of the " furnace" and "molten iron' poured into a hollow shot has shown results which are destined to tell with ter rible effect wherever his device is brought into requisition. The late commander of her Majesty's ship Tri dent, Mr. F. A. Close, has written to us to contra dict a paragraph in "Naval Intelligence" in The Sun of Monday, which alleged " that the Trident is officially reported by the dockyard authorities to have been paid off in a fur less orderly con dition than the Devastation, and was subject to the censure of the examining officers of the yard." Commander Close says that the statement in ques tion " is wholly unfounded, which assertion I make with perfect ability of proving it from the highest authority." Till'. ARMY. The following general order, directing the under mentioned promotions and appointments, conse quent on her Majesty's Order in Council of the 22d of October, 1859, and the retirement of Col. T.

Eyre, commanding at Chatham, had the whole force of that garrison drawn up on the Lines on Wednesday afternoon, for the purpose of going through the evolutions of a brigade field day. The troops on the ground numbered nearly 5,000 effective men of all ranks, including the three bat talions of infantry, numbering 18 &pots of Indian regiments, the corps of R o y a l and Indian Engi neers, and the battalion of Royal Marines.

The tendency of our legislation on this subject has recently Issefi all la fa soar ofthe operative classes. They were not only protected in the privilege of ylut ' savzombination, but were allowed to exerai s Tri _ sswith those of their trade who had not - c - oniliinen, proviiied that such •interference did not - exceed the limits of peaceful and reasonable suasion. Unionists on " strike," far instance, might recommend ton-unionists to follow their example, on condition only that no intimida- • Con or molestation entered into their proceedings. The object of the law, in tact, was to give the workmen the greatest amount of freedom com patible with the rights of individuals. Any num ber of them might agree among thetas - oh-es to enhance by concerted action the video' of . their labour, and they might lawfully also persuade others to their own way of thinking, and so increase the power and effect of their combi nation, but they were not to molest, threaten, or I terrify those who chose to follow a course of their own. These doctrines seem tolerably plain, and are certainly not wanting in consideration for the claims of labour. The question, however, which arose more than once out of transactions connected with the Builders' Strike was, what constituted the intimidation forbidden by the statute ? How far might men go in the way of persuasion without passing the bounds of reasonable and peaceful argu ment ? It soon became evident that masters and men held different views on this point, and the ques tion was brought to issue. in a case of some note. -Mr. William Perham, a stonemason by trade, and also Secretary to the Masons' Union, and one of the delegates of the Strike Committee, was prosecuted by MessrS. Piper, the builders, 'as' having trans gressed the law. For his alleged offence he was• brought before Mr. Corric, at the Clerkenwell Police-court, was there convicted, and sentenced to two months' imprisonment. Against this decision; ~ however, anssippcal was enterectS which Wifi dub? . a.-- -( 4 heard atthe Middlesex Sesaithis on TuesdaylaSt, and the report of which appeared in our columns of the day following. The case was _clearly regarded as a decisive one on both sides. Perham was de .fended by the Builders' Society, and the services of Mr. Edwin James were engaged on his behalf; while Messrs. Piper disclaimed all vindictive or personal feelings, and sought only to establish a principle. There was a full bench of magistrates, and the question, which happened to be very per spicuous in its form, was fairly argued. About the .facts, indeed, there was little or no dispute. The foreman of Messrs. *or, Robjohn by name, had - been sent out in September last to look for masons, in the place of those IA) had discontinued work ing. en the Ist of October he brought up 18 workmen of this class from Devonshire, but, no sooner had he stepped out of the train at Padding ton than an emissary of the Strike Committee ap peared on his track, and by the time the men had been taken to their lodgings for the night Mr. Perham presented himself, and claimed them as his own. He pursued his object by dogging their footsteps, and making them offers of various kinds, till, in the end, he actually succeeded in in ducing 14 out of the 18 to forces) their agreements, - and return to the country. It was not, however, on these acts that the charge was founded. All this, it seems, Mr. Perham was held at liberty to do, but with this he was not content. He told the men, in the course of his proceedings, that if they disre garded his arguments, and persisted in their design of going to work for Messrs. Piper, they would be considered as " blacks," an expression perfectly understood, but which he himself explained at the time by adding that they would be all " struck against" by the masons of the union, until they were turned out. In other. words, these men were warned that unless they did as the unionists desired they would, as far as the unionists could effect such a purpose, be deprived of that work by which they got their bread. The masons in combination would " strike against them," that is td say, would refuse to work in their company, so that the masters might be compelled, for the sake of their business, to refuse them employment. This was the conduct which was formally defetided as peaceful and lawful within the meaning of the statute. Dismissing the exceptions incidentally taken by Mr. Edwin James to the original conviction—ono of which has been already overruled—we find that experienced advocate basing the defence of his client on the rules in the trade. After contending that the statute was directed against " overt moles tation," " violence," and " personal injury," he argued that it could not apply to the case of Perham, who, in amicable discourse with the men, and in the hear. hag of Robjohn himself, had merely " told them that if they Went to work in the room of men who had stiaeits - therainstdettstSsfeetiiitetits as ' Marisa," awl--- -- struck against throughout the trade. how could that be construed into violent intimidation ? It was a rule in the trade. Was it a case to which it was ever contemplated `the Act should be applied ?" To this inquiry the magistrates replied by a prompt and unanimous decision that ' the Act did apply to tie case in question, and that Perham 's words amounted to a direct menace cal culated to deter the men fr om performing the work they had undertaken. From that conclusion few , reasoning people will be found to dissent. The men under Robjohn's charge were distinctly threatened with the loss of their subsistence, or, in other words, with utter destitution, such penalty being visited upon them by combinations of others for that special purpose. If such threats do not constitute intimi dation it is hard to see how intimidation could be employed at all. Accordingly Mr. Corrie's decision was duly con firmed, and so far, therefore, we may assume it as ruled that it is not lawful for any set of workmen to coerce other workmen into their opinions by threatening to strike against them ; but we must now follow out this principle a little, and apply it to those standing rules and by-laws of the Masons' Union, which the masters have desired to see modi fied, and which the men so stoutly defend. Mr. Edwin James in this very speech asserted that " the rules of the Builders' Societies had never been impugned as illegal ; it had been offered to sub mit them to the highest legal authority in the country, to see if there was any regulation or prin ple contrary to the spirit of the law of the land and to the free rights of the artisan." : Yet he had also asserted, in the words before quoted, that " blacking" a man, though a non-unionist, for non compliance with the laws of the Union, was a " rule in the trade ;" and we should imagine that the " free rights of an artisan " were considerably interfered with when he was told that he could not go to work with the employer of his own choice, but must, on pain of practical outlawry, take his orders from a set of men with whose con cerns he had no kind of connexion. One of two things is clear,—either that this threat of proscrip tion and ruin constitutes no intimidation whatever —a proposition which we do not suppose Mr. James would maintain,—or that intimidation enters essen tially into those Union laws . which he thinks cannot be impugned. This, in fact, is the truth of the whole matter. Trades' Unions are worked by coercion from first to last—coercion directed not merely against employdrs but against workmen themselves. In the former case it is so far lawful that the pressure put upon masters by voluntary combinations of men for the purpose of enhancing the price of labour is allowed by statute; but in the latter case it is wrong altogether, wrong when exercised directly by individuals, and wrong there . fore when inculcated by the regulations of a society. It was argued with much ingenuity - a this easethat • the threats charged against Perham were not threats proceeding from himself', or intimations of principles, but merely repro- ' s h e is own nta ionPsuortP' purposes otscronveyed by him in the way of friendly warning. According to this theory he simply told the men what would happen if they ran counter to the views of the Unionists, the ad monition being plainly to their advantage.- Such a view of the matter was too subtle for the magi strates, who rejected it decidedly, but it' it could have been sustained the result would only have been the tranfer of the blame from the shoulders of Perham himself to the Union which he represented. There was plain intimidation in the case, where ever it originated, and, as Mr. Perham has been thus held accountable for using a menace which, according to Mr. James's own admission, enters as a standing rule into the regulations of the trade, we are at a loss to see how these regulations them selves can Ise defended any ion ger.— Times.
