A professional prejudice, which happily is now fast disap pearin fr; . though it still lingers with no little obstinacy in some of the more antiquated medical schools, for a long time almost ignored the morbid affections comprised under the general desiqnation "Nervous and Physical Debility," though these affectiona are probably more destructive and widely pre valent than any others. The consequence Of so important a department of pathology b e ing neglected is, that sufferers from the infirmities in question, virtually rzpelled from consultation with prac titioners of standing and character, are thus liable to fall into the hands of unqualified Empirics, sometimes assuming titles of Physicians' and Surgeons, whose names are not, to be found in the Medical Register (whereby they incur serious legal penalties), whose ignorant meddling with the treatment of these cases render these disorders a standing reproach to the , medical profession. Those who may - have a suspicion that any of the observations here made have peculiar applica tion to themselves, may consider that cases are indeed rare ° in which practised science cannot fully realise long-deferred hopes, remove all causes of mutual reproach, and replace chron i c embitterment by permanent content. - Dr. La'Mert. 1F1.D., Honorary Member of the London Hos - pita; Medical Society, &c., is the only legally qualified regis tered practitioner who, for 20 years, has devoted his attention 1 to the treatment of these disorders.

STAMPED, 51). mental order, which was read by the Adjutant.' The regiment then reformed column on the rear company and "marched past" in slow and quick time. They then countermarched by companies twos deep, and next countermarched to the left of ranks ; this latter movement —a rather peculiar one—was executed with wonderful precision, as, indeed, were all the movements of the day. On Saturday afternoon the members of the 22d Surrey Rifles assembled at the head-quarters, 66, Westminster-bridge-road, for parade and a march out. About 100 men were present, under the coin mand of Captain Hickman. At 5.30 the men fell into the ranks, and marched through the streets, accompanied by the band, to Battersea-bridge, and thence across the river to the Middlesex side, and home again over Westminster-bridge. The appear ance of the men were soldierlike and well deserving of the praise which was liberally bestowed on them. This corps offers peculiar advantages to young men, the subscription being 4d. per week, and the cost of the uniform, which p is smart and of a military character, only £3 ss. On Saturday a very instructive lecture was de livered in the Quadrangle of the House of Commons to the members of the London Irish Rifles by their late adjutant,paptain Mahoney, assisted by Sergt. Kelly, the musketry instructor, the subject being the construction of the rifle and the way it ought to be used. At the conclusion the gallant Captain was loudly cheered, and promised to continue the subject on a future day. which we give the material portions, that two classes of adulteration are aimed at by the Act— first, those occasioned by the mixture of any ingre dient or material injurious to the health of persons eating or drinking it; and secondly, those accom plished by the mere admixture of a substance not injurious to health, but in fraud. As examples of the first class, he mentions the use of poisonous pigments for colouring confectionery; of red lead in Cayenne pepper and curry powder; of chromate of lead in custard powders ; and of the salts of copper in pickles and preserves. Of the second 'class, he refers to the addition of inferior nutritive matters to bread, as potatoes and rice ; the mixing of cheap farinas, as potato starch, the starch of curcum a, wheat, rice, bread - fruit, &c., to arrow root; chicory and roasted corn to coffee; inferior roots, &c., to chicory ; mustard husk and farina to pepper ; flour to mustard ; water to milk ; oxide of iron to cocoa and chocolate, and the various facings or glazings of inferior tea. A third class of adul terations, he says, occupy an intermediate place; fur, while they are undoubtedly frauds, they are, perhaps, also injurious to health—as the addition of alum or sulphate of copper to bread ; sulphuric acid to vinegar ; plaster of Paris and chalk to con fectionery and mustard ; the various sophistications of ale and porter; and the still more objectionable adulterations.of wines and spirits. All these may be properly made the subject of analytical inquiry, for they clearly come within the compass of o the Act. It is necessary, he says, that according t its provisions the different stages of the investigation shall be conducted in a systematic manner. First, in respect of the purchasing of the article, in all cases the purchaser of an article suspected to be adulterated shall, directly he has purchased it, and before he removes it from the shop, give notice to the dealer, or the person serving him, that he in tends to have the article analyzed, so that the dealer may have the opportunity of accompanying him to the analyst or of securing the article in such a manner as to prevent it from being tampered with. Secondly, as regards the analysis, wherever an analyst is appointed any purchaser of an article of food or drink shall be entitled, on payment to the analyst of a sum not less than 2s. 6d. nor more than 10s. 6d., to have the article analysed, and to receive from him a certificate of the result. Con sidering, however, that it is not easy or practicable to draw up a scale of charges for the various kinds of investigations contemplated by the act, and that the fee named will rarely cover the expenses of the analysis, it will, Dr. Letheby thinks, be expedient to fix an uniform charge intermediate in the scale, say'Ss--for each analysis. This will prevent a great deal of complexity, and will at the same time show that the object of the charge is not to cover the ex penses of the inquiry, but rather to guard the dealer against unnecessary annoyance and ground. less complaint. The poor, hewever, who are the chief sufferers from adulteration, will, he fears, be unable to pay the fee named; and, unless some thing be done to assist them in the matter, they will be shut out most completely from the benefits of the Act. He suggests, therefore, that the Com• missioners of Sewers give to ,the analyst a discre tionary power to conduct such inquiries for the poor without fee. It is necessary, however, that . a complaint should come to him from apoor person, and the complainant should be entitled to leave with the analyst a sample of the suspected article, together with the name and address of the dealer ; an if in the judgment of the analyst the matter is sufficiently serious to demand inquiry, he shall be at liberty to instruct the inspector to purchase a sample of the suspected article at the place named, and then to submit it to analysis free of charge. It is also a question for consideration whether they may not with great public advantage authorise their inspector of meat and of markets to pur chase samples of food or drink which he sees exposed for sale in the city, and which he suspects are adulterated. This duty comes very properly within the functions of his office ; for in the 52d clause of tLeir Act of 1851, it is provided that the inspector of meat and of markets shall have power I to seize and dispose of any "unsound or unwhole some meat, fish, poultry, fruit, vegetables, or other provisions unfit for the food of man," provided he sees such articles exposed or offered for sale within the city. He may, therefore, exercise this duty in the proper functions of his office, and with great benefit to the public. Lastly, in respect of the certificate, it is constructed so as to indicate the object of thei inquiry, and to express the result of the analysis. It also expresses the opinion of the analyst—whether the article is adulterated or not, and whether the article is so adulterated as to be injurious to health. These, indeed, are the several points to which the Act has directed atten tion ; and in giving expression to them it is neces sary, on the one hand, to be very explicit, so as . to expose fraud, and on the other, not so em phatic as to furnish a puff for the rivalries of trade. At the end of every quarter it will be his duty to submit to the Commissioners a tabular statement of the analytical work done, specifying the articles examined and the names and addresses of the per sons from whom they were purchased. The pub lication of that table in his quarterly report will. doubtless have a beneficial tendency. If it be necessary to go further with the inquiry, it must be prosecuted by the purchasers of the adulterated articles, who will have to take the matter before the justices, where the certificate of the analyst will he received as evidence. Yesterday (Sunday) the members of the East:end company assembled at their drill ground, and under command of Lieutenant Irwin, marched to St. James's Church, Stepney, where a sermon was delivered by the rector. At the conclusion the men, who mustered in great strength, marched back to their quarters. On Saturday afternoon the members of the London National Rifles mustered in full uniform at the Wellington Barracks, and, accompanied by the drums and fifes of the Guards, pro ceeded thence, under the command of Major Wal misley, over Westminster-bridge, through Stam ford-street, across Blackfriars-bridge, along Far ringdon-street, Holborn, Oxford-street, Regent street, Parliament-street, to Westminster, where, after a few words from their commanding officer, they were dismissed. Including officers, the num bers present were not far short of 200 men. The London National Rifles now number between 400 and 500 members, and have already organised two bands—one of brass instruments and another of fifes and drums, and it is confidently anticipated that when they are enrolled their numbers will be considerably augmented, as the corps presents peculiar 'advantages in many respects to clerks, working men, and others. The officers and men have given constant attendance to drill during the last four months, and have attained a very credit able state of efficiency, under the tuition of some of the non-commissioned officers of the Guards.

On Saturday, at noon, a public meeting of the nobility and gentry of the county of Chester and other gentlemen interested in the Volunteer move ment was held in the Shire-hall, Chester, for the purpose of forming an association for promoting rifle shooting in the county, in connexion with the National Rifle Association. The meeting, which was convened by the Lord- Lieutenant of the county, was numerously attended, several of the most influential gentlemen connected with the county palatine being present. Among those in attendance were the Marquis of West minster, Lord-Lieutenant of the' county; Lord Eceerton, Sir Philip Egerton, M.P., the Hon. W. Egerton, MX., Mr. G. Cornwall Legh, M.P., Mr. W. Jackson, M.P., Sir C. Shackerley, Sir E. Cust, &c. The Marquis of WESTMINSTER presided, and in opening the proceedings, congratulated those pre sent on the large attendance, notwithstanding the unfavourable character of the day. They were met together on a very important subject connected with the county to which they belonged, it having been considered desirable to establish upon a firmer basis the machinery of the Volunteer forces in the county. Thenoble marquis having in detail explained the rules and the manner in which the county associa tion was proposed to be governed, said that it was proposed to have one general meeting in the month of September for rifle shooting, in order to keep up the spirit of the county in for warding this measure. One great object of it would be to bring people in all conditions of life and in all states of society, into one harmonious bond together. That was a most important point— the union and good fellowship that would prevail among them. He congratulated the country gene rally on the brightening prospects before us, which the visits of our own Queen and other monarchs from one country to another afforded. Under these circumstances he trusted that the services of our Volunteer forces might not be required ; but should this country find it necessary to declare for war he felt that the same gallant resistance which had ever been offered would be given, and that we should continue to be respected in peace, and always pre pared for war. (Cheers.) Lord EGERTON, at the call of the Chairman, pro posed the first resolution, which was as follows : " That in the opinion of this meeting it is desirable to promote the practice of rifle shooting as one of the most important modes of extending and render ing permanent the Volunteer movement in this country, and that in order to carry out this resolu tion an association be formed in connection with the National Rifle Association, to be called the Cheshire Rifle Association." His lordship observed that, as was said by the Tinges, the Volunteer movement had become a great fact. It arose among the people, and had been supported by the people. It owed nothing to Government, and he believed a Cabinet Minister had recently stated in that city that Government patronage would have been injurious rather than otherwise. The great thing now required was to give a permanent cha racter to it in the different counties, and the estab lishment of rifle shooting was calculated to effect that. He should not be satisfied until rifle shoot ing had become as much a matter •f science as the bow and archery were in former times. Mr. J. LAIRD seconded the resolution. The resolution was carried unanimously. Sir P. EGERTON, M.P., proposed the next reso tion, viz. :—" The county association shall consist, first of annual subscribers of 10s. and £1 (sub scribers of £1 becoming members of the National Rifle Association for the current year, one-half of their subscription of £1 being paid to the funds of the National Rifle Association ; secondly, of donors of £5 to the county association ; and, thirdly, of donors of prizes not less than £2O at the meetings of the county association." He most cordially and heartily supported the movement, and especially this attempt to establish rifle shooting. They were establishing by it an exciting and an innocent amusement. They were now aiming at what their ancestors did as to archery in former times. There were no " Aunt Sallys" in those days. (Hear, and laughter.) The Mayor of MACCLESFIELD seconded the motion, which, after some discussion, was unani mously adopted. Mr. G. CORNWALL LEGII, M.P., moved the next resolution—namely, the appointment of president, vice-presidents, and a council of 21. The Marquis of Westminster was named as president. Colonel WILBRAHAM, in seconding the resolu tion, said that no part of the country had a greater number of Volunteers in proportion to its numbers than Cheshire. He was acquainted with about 47 companies in the north of England, and he might say that, with the exception of Lancashire, there were none of the Volunteers so efficient as the Cheshire companies. (Hear, and cheers.) He ex pressed his warm approval of rifle associations for shooting, and said they did well in not throwing them open too wide, but confining them to their several counties. He wished them to bear in mind that the object of our rifle matches was not to create one great crack shot, but to create a large number of good shots among the entire body. (Cheers.) It was undesirable that an accumulation of prizes should fall into the hands of one person. He also wished to guard them against making the value of their prizes too high, because he was afraid it would make men look more to the money value of the prizes than the honour of wicning them. (Hear.) The resolution was adopted, and a vote of thanks to the chairman, moved by Major Legh, and seconded by the Mayor of Chester, closed the proceedings. The members of the Queen's (Westminster) `To lunteers mustered on parade in very great strength on Saturday evening last at Westminster-hall, for the purpose of being inspected by Earl Grosvenor, Lieut.-Col. Commanding. The men, who appeared in full marching order, assembled at their respective drill grounds, and marched down under the com mand of their officers to Westminster-hall, into which they poured, company after company, until they nearly filled the building. There were in all 16 companies, including two of recruits, and mus tering, without officers, 921 file. In addition, the company of cadets were present, and had the honour of keeping the ground, and the manner in which they performed the duty created much amusement ; for there were numerous cases of these little fellows, not much more than eight or nine years old, arguing most strenuously with stalwart men the propriety of standing back; and indeed it was no easy matter to keep room for the corps to go through their evolutions, as the attendance of the public was very great, and when the men were formed in quarter distance column the ball pre sented a most imposing spectacle. The various companies having been put through their manual and other exercises, the rear rank took open order, and the whole were called to attention. The noble colonel then passed through the ranks, accompa nied by the adjutant, Major Mayne, and made a minute inspection of the men and their arms and acc outrements. Earl Grosvenor having passed down the whole of the column, the inspection of which occupied a very long time, the men were formed into four squares of su bdivisions, and his Lordship addressed each body separately, congra tulating the officers upon the perfection to which th e ir companies had attained , a nd expressing his admiration of the soldierlike and smart appearance of the men. As it would have been a very tedious matter to make four long addresses, the Lieutenant- Colonel embodied most of his ideas in a regi. THE NAVY. days, the Royal Dockyard Commissloners termi nated their labours at Chatham Dockyard on Sa turday afternoon. The officials and heads of de partments connected with the dockyard have afforded the Commissioners every information in their power during their somewhat lengthened in- quirt'. The first trial trip of her Majesty's se - Fe - W .— steam sloop Serpent, built at Millwall, took place on Saturday, by order of the:Admiralty, under the superintendence of Mr. D. Patridge on behalf of the Government, and Mr. George Brown, repre senting the firm of Messrs. Napier and Sons, of Glasgow, who furnished the machinery. The Ser pent left her moorings at Woolwich on Saturday morning and went down the Thames as far as the Lower Hope, and then proceeded to run the mea sured mile, performing it four times at the average rate of 111 knots per hour, the speed of the engines being 104 revolutions per minute: The screw was not fully immersed in the water, which, when effected, will considerably increase the speed. The trial was highly satisfactory. The engines are on the direct acting Trinity principle, of 200-horse power, and are the 19th pair, as stated after the trial, of from 80 to 500-horse power, which have been supplied to Government by Messrs. Napier within the last nine months. It is stated that Capt. Charlewood is about to re tire from the command of the Pembroke, 60, now lying in Harwich harbour, and that Capt. Sir Geo. Middleton will succeed him, The topmasts of the screw steamship Hero, Com modore George Seymour, C. 8., at Plymouth, were struck on Saturday. The repairs of the screw steam corvette Charybdis, 28, Capt. the Hon. George Keane, at Devonport, will be completed about the 6th inst. She is destined for the East Indies.s The trial of the engines of the screw steam gun vessel Nimble, 5, in the lock at Keyham Steam Basin, having proved satisfactory, she will to-day (Monday), if the weather permits, go outside the Plymouth Breakwater and make a second trial. It is probable that a trial of the engines and ma chinery of the 'screw steamship Howe, 121, and the Lion, 80, will be made during the week at Ply mouth. The Howe is appointed to be removed out of Keyham Steam Yard to-morrow (Tuesday). Her Majesty has graciously ordered that three days' pay shall be given to each of the men who with so much alacrity got the screw steam frigate Orlando ready for sea, and proceeded in her from Plymouth into the Channel to search for the Hero, 91, then returning with his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales from America. The Royal gift was paid on Friday on board the guardship of steam ordinary Indus, 78, Capt. Astley C. Key, GB., in Hamoaze. His Netherland Majesty's screw steam frigate Admiral van Wassenaar, 50, was taken on Friday from Hamoaze into Plymouth Sound. Stem was got up yesterday preparatory to her departure. The paddlewheel steam sloop Spiteful, 6, Com mander Wilson, and the screw steam sloop Ariel, 9, Commander Alexander, having been iepaired, were removed on Friday from Hamoaze into Ply mouth Sound. The Diadem, 32, screw, Capt. Cockburn steamed out of Portsmouth Harbour on Saturday, ind took up a berth at Spithead. We are informed that the Lords of the Admiralty have resolved not to receive in future memorials from naval officers containing more than one sig- nature. ,The following appointments were madeon Satur day at the Admiralty :—Commander J. P. Thur burn to the Cornwallis, additional, for orviee in the Coastguard; Commander C. T. Bench to the Hawke, additional, for service in the Cotguard ; H. M. Wise, Master, confirmed in the colossus; the Rev. G. W. It. Incledon to be chaplain snd naval Instructor of the Jason; and J. A. Jones,Master's Assistant, to the llarrier. TILE ARMY. The Government has decided on despatching an other company of Royal Engineers to St. Helena to assist in erecting additional fortification!, and re pairing the defences of that island, th) force of Artillery and Engineers which left Englard a short time since having proved insufficient for be prose cution of the work. The company of Royal lingineers selected for this service is the 32d, which has been stationed for some time at Alderney, where the officers and men have gained considerably experi ence in the erection of works of defence by having been engaged for several months past in the repair of the fortifications of that island. Orders were on Saturday received at Chatham by Col. H. D. Harness, C. 8., director of the Royal Engineer establishment, countermanding the order for the 27th (Capt. Durnford's) company of Royal Engineers to embark that day for Gibraltar to re lieve the 2d company, in consequence of no steamer having been chartered to take the company on board. At the present time great inconvenience is felt by Government in consequence of the difficulty expe rienced in obtaining tonnage, and this will neoessi tate the 27th company being detained in England until next month, at the commencement of which it is intended it should embark for Gibraltar. Major• Gen. Hay,lnspector-General of Musketry, made an official visit to the camp at Colchester on Friday. The practice in which the troops in camp have been engaged during the last few weeks e shi bits an improvement, as compared with last y ear, the figure of merit of the 10th battalion having advanced from 35.21 to 38.36. Major-Gen. Hay., it need scarcely be said, was well pleased with such a result. The Suffolk Artillery Militia was disembodiesd at Ipswich, on Friday. Col. Adair, the commanding officer, received, through the Lord-Lieutenaixt of ' the county, an intimation from the Secretary at War that the spirit and conduct of the regi went was highly appreciated by her Majesty. The first Regiment of Staffordshire Militia an ived at headquarters at Lichfield, from Newcastle, Sun derland, and Tynemouth, on Tuesday, for the pur pose of being disembodied. Previous to their departure from the north a good number availed themselves of permission to enter the reg.alar army. Col. the Hon. W. P. Talbot addressed the 1 regiment at Lichfield, and read a letter from the LA GLOIRE. Mr. Scott Russell, in a letter to the Times, says : The letter of Mr. Hussey Vivian contains so much accurate information and so much sound opinion on the subject of the iron-coated ships that it is quite necessary that some errors, both in fact and opinion, should be at once set right before the authority of his name shall give them currency or practical effect. I have, therefore, felt it to be my duty to ask space for a second short letter upon the subject. On some points Mr. Hussey Vivian's personal observation corroborates the information I gave you in my former letter. The Gloire is " built of wood," is in external appearance a large frigate, or rather an exaggerated corvette, carrying her arma ment on a single covered deck ; and she is of " stronger scantling than usual ;" because, as I informed you, she is built on the type of the French 90-gun ships Napoleon and Algesiras, only with this change, that the weight of the iron plates is substi tuted for the upper decks, armament, heavy masts, and rigging, all of which have been removed. For practical purposes, we may.consider her as a huge covered corvette, of 30 to 40 guns, with a nominal tonnage of ' 3,000, and an actual displacement of between 5,000 and 6,000 tons. I need not add that this tonnage and displacement are greater than many of our ships of the line. Her dimensions—which Mr. Vivian could not learn—are about 250 feet long and 55 feet beam. I am glad to find that the information which he has collected regarding the actual performance of the ship corroborates that which I communicated to you in regard to her speed and performance at sea —" She behaves well, and her speed all agree in stating at 13 knots." The remarlc that . she "laboured somewhat in very heavy weather" will, I am sure, be considered I a high compliment to the builder and the ship by all who have read the excellent account of your correspondent of the performance of the Hero under similar circumstances. In the following points I beg to correct Mr. Hussey Vivian's statement :—Her breadth of beam is not " carried very far forward." Her bow is very fine, especially under water, where, of course, he had no means of observation. Her stern is not " sharper than her bow," but the overhanging part of the stern above water is carried out to an angle instead of ending in an elliptical line as usual, so that it is more like a clipper " bow than a stern," and I entirely agree with him in one advantage derived from this shape, that it prevents a raking fire from aft : but he has not mentioned that it renders the fire of the usual stern guns in a line with the keel impossible. Her iron plates are not " 6 in.," but exactly 41 English in. thick, like ours ; and the iron is of no " peculiar quality" except that it is excellent forged iron. When Mr. Hussey Vivian saw her, her ports were ‘.‘ 8 feat out of the water," and her plates " extend to 8 feet below." This would give a breadth of plating under the ports larger than the fact. The speed of the ship is, I agree with Mr. Vivian, partly owing to the very judicious and moderate rig which has been given to her, and of which he so, well states the advantages ; but the speed is also owing to a very judicious form of fine lines at the bow and stern, and to an arrangement of the screw very different from that which is adopted in our ships, and much better suited to this special purpose. In the manly and fearless statement which Mr. Hussey Vivian has given of his opinion, that the " fine ships around her were as useless in her pre sence as old flint muskets in presence of the arms of the present day," he has done the public an im portant service. A large number of persons, whose position gives weight to their opinion, are assidu ously trying to make believe very much that the old ships are, after all, not so bad as they are called and that in the hands of British sa ilors they ill do wonders. I believe with them that British sailors ill .not only, as heretofore, do wonders, but..w, unjust " impossibilities." But surely it would iellasachieve in the British public to ask Jack b to tt battery as it would g y ht a wooden ship of the line against an ironfiea Id with flint mus be to send our army into the kets. An iron ship of superior esapoecd, heavy battery, choose her own and fair sea-going qualities s and time and place of en gagembiens and is an overmatch of equal rank. for half a dozen woodenims important conclusion which But there is anothern n adopt. That the Ad- I hope the public waxse toot build ships of the old m i ra lty should " ea se class" would be undoubtedly common sense ; but if, by the recommendations of the last paragraph, we are to understand that they are not to proceed as rap idly as poss ible with the construction of iron s hips of " unheard-of iron scantling, but are t o t a ke to making imitations of the Gloire in wo o d, th e n his advice is the most dangerous that gould be given. • Ours is a country of iron—France is not ; and yet the French Admiralty are wise enough to em ploy themselves with all their energy in preparing to build iron ships with those very unheard-of iron scantlings. If we followed this advice we should be making a poor imitation of a temporary expedient which the French Admiralty resolved on two or three years, when they had no alternative. There is nothing more certain than that a wooden ship of great length, of fine form for speed, coated with heavy plates of iron and propelled by engines of enormous power, could not possess either the requisite strength nor durability. Th ese qualities we know that iron alone can give, and it is re markable that in the whole mercantile fleet of Britain there does not exist a single ship of 'arse size and high speed that is built of wood: would therefore, what Mr. Vivian recommendswonaaDere to, go bickwards, at the moment the Frenc h pushing rapidly forwards.
