Illustrated with Cases com piled from the Note-book of a Registered Medical Practi tioner of twenty years' standing. Unlike many vaunted restoratives, Electricity is one which commends itself to the medical man as being accordant with the soundest teachings of physiology. By the most obvious indication it admits of being shown that the Electrical and Nervous energies are identical ; hence, that when the latter fails, the former can take its place, and that when, from irre gularities of any kind, the nervous system has become debili tated, paralysed, or exhausted, and the patient brought to a condition little short of total prostration, then by the action of Electricity, imparting certainty and efficacy to medical treatment, he can be re-invigorated, and his health re-esta blished to a degree almost warranting the designation of SECOND LIFE.

Yesterday evening, between 40,000 and 50,000 of the workmen connected with the building trade met in Hyde-park, for the purpose of considering the step the master builders were about to take in shutting up their shops rather than concede the hour per day asked for by the men. • The arrangements for holding the meeting were very good. The assembly arranged themselves in a circle, and some thousands sat on the ground, thus enabling those in the back rows to see what was going on. In.the centre a platform of chairs was raise for the speakers, and chairs were, pro vided for the committee and the representatives of the press. The proceedings were of a most orderly character, and not the slightest approach to a dis turbance occurred. Mr. TRACY, .a working man, occupied the chair, and said the object in calling them together that evening was not to argue the question of the nine hours' movement, but to make a demonstration to prove that the assertion made" by the masters, " that the working classes cared not about the movement," was false, and also to prove that the working classes had the movement at heart, and were determined to make it a success. (Cheers.) This movement did not originate from idleness on the part of the men, but from the tyranny exercised towards them by the masters, and which they called political economy. Another motive for that meeting was to call upon them to rise up and oppose the tyranny their masters would inflict upon them by the terms of that document which they were trying to impose upon them. Their forefathers had fought for their rights ; but those days had gone by, and they had new the sword of reason and intellect to fight their battles with. (Cheers.) These were the days of morality, and though 'it was said they wanted to obtain that to which they had no right, they were anxious to preserve law and order, and had as great a - desire to preserve propertyas those who possessed it. After what they had done would they sign themselves as slaves:, and give up every liberty by putting their hands to that fiendish document? (Loud cries of " No, never?") Would they do for their children what their forefathers would not do for them ? (No). Then they must stand up and show their employers and the Government, which was supporting them, that they would rather die in the workhouse, and for iiim*olf, he would rather die in the street and let his bonds lie unburied till Doomsday, than sign it. Their =plows had met their request with the most lawyer-like polioy, not by argument, but by misrepresenting their ease to the public. They had not time then to argue the question, because a meeting there after sunset was illegal, and therefore he would not dwell longer on the subject, but call upon them all to maintain order, and after the meeting was over to disperse quietly to their respective homes. (Cheers.) Mr. CREMER, a joiner, moved that this meeting views with regret the position of antagonism as sumed by the employers, inasmuch as the spirit they display is calculated to widen the breach al ready existing, by endeavouring to trample out the spirit of humanity which originated and still ani mates the nine hours' movement, and as the pledge which they would extract from us by signing the document they propose 'submitting would rob us of every privilege of freemen, and reduce us to the condition of serfs, we determine to use every moral power of resistance, and pledge ourselves to use all constitutional means, for bringing the nine hours' movement to a successful termination." (Cheers). He expressed the great amount of diffidence he felt in proposing this resolution, because any word he might drop might have a great effect upon his fellow-workmen for weal or woe ; but it was only his paramount sense of duty that decided him to undertake so responsible a position. The reasons and the arguments made use of by their, enemies were many and various. The Times of last Saturday thought proper to honour them with an article—he said honour, for it was an honour to them to have brought the question so prominently before the , public that the leading paper of the day had no ticed them. But when the Times honoured them with an article it pursued a course which he ex pected they would pursue. It wrote in the inte rests of a class which they always had been mixed up with—and that was the moneyocraey of the country. It said they were acting in the spirit of a bygone age, and in a few lines after, before the editor's ink could have been dry, he recommended them to follow the spirit of a bygone age; such was the inconsistency and sophistry of the I imes. He condemned the strike as the spirit of a bygone age, and yet recommended them to continue to work 10 hours a day because their forefathers had done so. The reason they had gone on so long in the spirit of a bygone age was, because their em ployers were deaf to the feelings of humanity. They had brought the question before them for the last 18 months, and they were deaf to their appeals. Would the working men now allow their masters to crush theM down to the position of serfs ? (No, no.) That would be the position they would be placed in, for they would abnegate their rights as freemen. • When their forefathers worked 10 hours a day there was not the same amount of competi tion that there was at present, and a man now did three times the amount of work in 10 hours that our forefathers did. (Cheers.) 'Would those pre sent assist them in getting that one hour ? (Yes, yes, and cheers.) If their employers closed their shops, they must act in a firm, respectful, and courteous manner ; and if they saw any one at tempting to commit a breach of the peace, they must endeavour to prevent it, for their employers were endeavouring to their utmost to get them into a breach of the peace, and if they could their pun ishment would be severe. He concluded by urging them, in the words of Shakepeare, to be true to themselves, and then they could not be false to any one. (Cheers.) Mr. BLOOMFIELD, a bricklayer, seconded the re solution, and said the quesion that evening resolved itself into this whether they were to exist as free men or whether they were to become slaves. The masters had held their meeting, and had told them they must be slaves. They were, in fact, to be "ticket-of-leave men," with this exception, that those men had their tickets to show their freedom, while the working men were to have theirs to show their slavery. (Cheers and laughter.) The em ployers had put forth a pamphlet by a so-called " factory operative," which was entirely fallacious in its arguments and its statements. It was, in fact, only a defence of that bugbear, the so-called political economy.. Everything in political economy was against labour,.then let them go against p tical economy. According to the programme of the Times, a number of men at work on a job must not complain of a grievance, for if any two men spoke together upon it, they . would be at once accused of attacking the principles of political economy. The masters had given them a challenge, were they prepared to accept it ? (Yes, yes.) He said they were. Mr. OSBORNE, a plasterer—They had to decide that night whether they would sign that detested document which was a disgrace to the concocters of it and to the country. (Cheers.) The shoemakers struck some years ago, and when both parties were nearly exhausted, the differences were settled in one day by arbitration. The document was with drawn, the men received a proper remuneration for their labour, and went tz, work cheerfully. Their own differences might be settled by arbitration if the masters would. (Cheers.) Mr. PACEIC, a mason, felt surprised that the me tropolitan builders should have assumed the position they had, for they must know something of the great strike at Liverpool. Mr. POTTER then addressed the meeting, and was enthusiastically received. He said he was , anxious to offer some explanations to them, be cause the master builders and a portion of the press had grossly misstated the nine hours move ment. After twenty months' delay and three memorials the masters had met, and came to con clusions contrary to truth, to gentlemanly conduct, and to justice. , They were not satisfied with tak ingdhuacdt c w o h m ic e h to a c s o a nc b lu o s d i y on t s h as ey to ha t d he n m ev e e n r 's th f o u u tu g r h e t the part which they ought to have taken, but con of. He asked the meeting what they thought of the statement of the master builders in the Times of Saturday last. He read the document the men were required to sign, to the effect that they would not join any society that would interfere with any master, and that they recognised the principle that each man should engage with his master sepa rately. (Hisses.) He had to inform the master builders that they had not to fight the builders of London alone, but the men of the whole country. A meeting would take place to-morrow (this day) at Oxford in favour of the movement ; and there were no less than 80 of the principal towns of England that had sent in their approval of the movement, and their determination to support it. (Cheers.) They had been charged with being liberal at other people's expense, and not saying a nything about a reduction of wages ; he saw working men living in garrets with six in but w a room, out of work three months in a year, and averaging only a pound a week, he did not think they could afford a reduction of wages. (Hear, hear.) Sir Morton Peto had said that this nine hour movement would cost the country £300,000 a year, but if it did, how could it be better spent than in improving the working classes ? (Cheers.) Sir Morton Peto advocated the Saturday half holiday, which cost the country £200,000 a year, and yet he would resist this demand, which wonld cost only £lOO,OOO a year more, and be a much greater boon. He could not say more to them than " Liberty to them that dared to contend for it." (Vociferous cheers.) The resolution was then carried, and three hearty cheers were given for the nine hours' movement. Immediately afterwards a copy of the Times newspaper, suspended from a gibbet, was burned amid the hisses of the multitude. The meeting then quietly dispersed. THE INGRATITUDE OF ITALY TO FRANCE. There is a cessation in Italy of that vigorous enthusiasm which kept up continual plaudits so long as the French kept up their succession of victories, and the Constitutionnel immediately cries, " It would be too painful to believe that Italy is ungrateful." The French ear had become accus tomed to sounds of thankfulness and sounds of joy, to transports of delight, and to the extravagant in toxication of recovered freedom. Peace has b. en made, and a " horrid sound of silence " collies over the scene. The French press complains that im mediately the conflict ceased the Italian gratitude seemed spent. The peace of Villafranca has stopped the cries of joy, has frozen up all their flowing sympathies, has crushed their hopes, and dissipated their illusions. " Italy delivered," say the disap pointed benefactors, " differs little in mood from Italy oppressed." Yet M. de Cassagnac is ready to prove that :.11 has been done for Italy which, an Emperor of the French ought to have risked and laboured at for that country. So much the worse for her if she does not know that she is substan- PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-AUG. 3.

It was in 1846 that Sir James Wylie in vested £50,000 in the English funds, his intention being to purchase an estate in Scotland and thereafter return to spend the evening of his days in his native country. The aboli tion of the Corn Laws shortly afterwards gave rise to the idea in some quarters that land would be depreciated in value, and Sir James delayed his visit to Scotland. The £50,000 meanwhile lay accumulating till the death of Sir James, in 1854, and it has been accumulating since, till it has now reached the goodly amount already stated. The expenses of the action fall to be deducted from the £70,000." COMMISSION OF INQUIRY INTO FORBES MAC KENZIE'S ACT.—The first meeting of the Royal Commis sion of Inquiry into the working of the Public-houses Act, and the Scotch licensing system. was held on Monday in George-street Hall. The Commissioners began their in quiry by examining several hotel keepers and spirit dealers carrying on business in the city. As a matter of course, all these parties expressed themselves more or less opposed to the restrictions imposed upon the " trade" by the Forbes Mackenzie Act, although in this respect considerable differ ence of opinion seems to exist. One hotel keeper would be satisfied were the restriction with reference to closing licensed premises at night extended from eleven to twelve o'clock; another goes a step further, and thinks that no hour earlier than one o'clock would meet the public neces sities ; while a third condemn s the whole s y stem of restric tion as " unconstitional and impracticable." With reference to the licensing system, all the witnesses concurring in con demning that at present in operation in Scotland—the plan most in favour being apparently a licensing court, composed of a stipendiary magistrate or sheriff substitute and a jury, with an appeal to the principal sheriff.—Edinbtiryh Daily Express.

So much the worse for her if she withdraws her gratitude because France has not indulged her to the full fruition of all her hopes, and has paused before the sacrifices which the complete enfranchisement of Italy would have demanded. To have obtained Venice and the Quadrange would have cost long sieges and new battles, au immediate war upon the Rhine, manillas in Central 'ltaly, insurrection in Hungary, and a change in policy which would in volve the abandonment of the cause of order and the advocacy of that of revolution throughout Europe, There was no duty which impelled France to such sacrifices for such a result. Her gift of freedom, such as it is, is a free gift. Victor Em manuel has not the prerogative of imposing as he may list new labours on the Hercules'of France. There would be much reason in these remon strances if we could admit the assumptions on which they are based. But we do not think those Italians for whom anything has been done are un grateful for what the French have effected for them. The French army cannot expect the Venetians to be grateful to them for having sealed their fate irrevocably by cutting them off from the rest of Italy, and closing the iron hand of Austria upon them. France has up to this time earned no grati tude from Tuscans or Modenese. But Lombardy, which has obtained what it desired, is exulting and thankful. Milan, with the exception of a few wary lovers of their money bags, who are calculating the future cost of freedom, is gay and demonstrative ; and Sardinia is ready to do almost anything to show her gratitude —even, perhaps, to that strong proof which the diplomatic agent of the Emperor of the French is now demanding. We see no proofs, or even symptoms, of Italian ingratitude. Gari• baldi, who seems to be the Washington of this great struggle for freedom, is not wanting in almost pas sionate acknowledgment of the service which the Emperor has rendered to his country. While he refuses to submit the cause of Italy to the arbitra ment of diplomatists, and while he remains in arms to obtain for Central Italy what has been achieved for Lombardy, he exhorts his countrymen never " to forget the gratitude they owe to Napoleon and to the heroic French nation, whose valiant sons still lie, for the cause of Italy, wounded and mutilated on the bed of suffering." These are not the words of coldness or ingratitude ' nor is it acknowledgment grudgingly given. The fact is, not that Italy is un grateful for the past, but that she is uncertain .as to the future. Accustomed to read her destinies in the commands of foreigners, she waits, hushed in sus pense, to hear what gloss the treaty of Zurich will publish upon the text of the Convention of Villa franca. She is not ungrateful for the gift bestowed upon her, but she is full of fear lest that which she has just acquired should be taken from her by force. The result of the French interference has been much greater than the French themselves reckon when they count up their claims of gratitude from Italy. Montebello, and Magenta, and Solferino have not only purged Lombardy of the Austrian rule, but they have freed all the rest of Italy from the immediate pressure of the Austrian power. In the present attitude of the recently belligerent Powers it would be obviously impossible for Aus tria alone to march an army into Italy to put down any insurrection, or to put up any expelled friend of Austria. The conditions which the Austrian and the priest party throughout Italy and throughout Europe have always declared to be the conditions of anarchy have come to be the actual conditions of Italy. The will of the Italian people has been now for a considerable period the only source of action. They have feared no foreign force ; they have been stronger than any domestic oppression. Every where throughout the Peninsula the instruments of tyranny have broken in the hands of the tyrants. The Pope's mercenaries were permitted even to sack cities and to butcher innocent inhabit3nts, and they were not destroyed ; but they will be re strained from repeating the offence. The Swiss troops of the King of Naples were slaughtered not by the people, but by the Prince who hired them. The Grand Dukes of the Italian Duchies went forth in peace with all who chose to follow them, There is no force, except the French throughout the Italian Peninsula which could control or interrupt a gteat popular insurrection. If the Italians were what Italians have been thought to be all the cities of that fair country ought at this moment to be echoing revolutionary cries and flowing with blood. The Papal authorities, the Austrian partisans, and all the priests ought, if what we have been so sedu lously told were true, to be at this moment under the sentences of revolutionary tribunals. There was much to remember. Bitter oppression had left a rankling wound in many a heart, and it would not have fairly caused surprise if some excesses had marked this new period of exemption from the threat or presence of an armed force. The fair ground of surprise, however, is in that which has really happened. Mazzini's name has never been heard throughout the whole of this contest. When the hope of freedom dawned, all the grotesque goblins of the darkness seem to have flitted away. We have heard nothing of the Red Republicans, with their secret conclaves and their secret stabs. No Republic, " one and indivisible," has started into 'a spasmodic existence. Every proceeding has been as reasonable, as orderly, and as little influ enced by extravagance and enthusiasm as if it had been directed by an English churchwarden, and modelled upon the proceedings of an English pa rish vestry. Private property and personal secu rity were never better guarded than they are at the present moment, when all Central Italy is re lieved from the presence of those foreign armies wnich have been so long maintained there under the pretext of preserving " order," preventing " anarchy," and repressing the mischievous in stincts of the people. The people have been dis pointed by the terms of the Peace, and they are now alarmed lest they shall have to fight a hopeless fight against invaders whom they had hoped to be able to welcome as deliverers. But they have not committed a single act of violence. So far as they have yet gone, they have shown a marvellous apti tude for managing their own affairs, and a wonder ful Fewer of abstaining from those crimes of re venge to whritciliculathrelyltalia prone. Their nrace conduct always been exemplary particularly even beyond the power of calumfly t o question it, for doubt not that if there had been been has one questionable act, one instance of severity capable of a double version, we should have heard of it. The old priest party and the Austrocanti would, if they could, have found any credible mate rials, and filled all Europe with their outcries. These facts should weigh with Napoleon 111. He has worked hard to earn Italian gratitude ; he now has the opportunity of reviving Italian confi dence at the cheap rate of doing nothing. Venetia is gone. Austria has in the fortresses retained her power of future reconquest. These things cannot be helped. Italy must be content to work out her nationality with this thorn iii. her flesh. All that Europe now a sks for her is that is behaving admirably. Th e cause o uf la"r order" loses po assemblies, F nLo r ot a uh n iis c n e Ng and Austria shall le t her alone.

A court-martial assembled on Tuesday on board her Majesty's ship Impregnable, at Plymputh, for the trial of Mr. Frederick Kirkman, master of . the Gladiator, Commander Hickley, on a charge of drunkenness. The case as sought to be proved against the prisoner was, that on the even ing of July 27, when the Gladiator left Plymouth Sound, he was unfit to do his duties from being in a state of intoxication. Lieut. John Lige GiihT, the First Lieut. of the Gladiator, deposed that his reason for believing the prisoner was tipsy on the night in question was, that when the prosecutor, Commander Hickley, desired him to tak(i the bear ing of the Eddystone Lighthouse, he considered he looked at the compass in the wrong direction, and was unable to answer certain questions put to him by the commander. The witness afterwards noticed that the prisoner's walk was unsteady. It was about nine o'clock in the evening. Owing to this circumstance the vessel was hove, to for the night, and returned to the Sound at half -past six o'clock the following morning. William Clarke, Second Lieut. of the Gladiator, deposed that he considered the prisoner was not sober, and that he was unfit to undertake the navigation of the ship. Mr. Mark Hamilton, surgeon of the Gladiator, offered similar evidence. The prisoner's defence was that he had been in a state of excitement con sequent upon the vessel leaving the port, but although he had drunk a small quantity of wine on board, he denied it had rendered him incapable of per forming his duties, or that he was intoxicated. He called various officers of the Gladiator as witnesses, who deposed that he was most tempe rate in his habits ; and laid before the Court nume rous testimonials which he had received from officers in her Majesty's service. The Court found the charge proved against the prisoner, and sen• tenced him to be dismissed her Majesty's service. Commander Hugh A. Reilly (1858) has joined her Majesty's ship Pioneer, 6, screw, at Spithead, vice Commander May, promoted. DEVONPORT, Arc. 3.

No English merchant has paid war risks, no one ever waited' for convoy. Even iu 1856, when the war with Russia crossed as it were the shorter ; line of communication,, the overland route was ai safe and uninterrupted ,as, in peace- So profound, in deed, has been the security, that Anglo-Indians can scarcely realise the`Waof danger, scarcely estimate their position during a naval war. Yet. there is probably no class', of Englishmen in the world whom a war withthe only power, save Britain and America, capable of holdim , the sea would more injuriously affect. It is with a full consciousness of the calamities which must follow that we record our conviction that a naval war, disastrous, mpo pular, wicked as it may be, is almost inevitable. Its effect will be to put a stop to the rapid commu nication now almost in our hand. The Red Sea telegraph may be laid down, but th e ca bl e i s com paratively useless while no messages can be trans milted through France or the Mediterranean : The overland route may not be closed, for its importance is so great that armed steamers may be employed to convey the mails. But the swifter route will be closed at once, and the steamers will be hampered and delayed by the necessity of ,precaution. Our navy is not now so strong as to sweep the Medi terranean clear at the very, commencement of the war. How specie is to be sent overland wefail to perceive,:and even round the Cape a large,. remit tance will require a squadron for its convoy. That, single circumstance, a, mere incidentinherente in hostilities with a first-class Power, will enormously increase the embarrassments of the Indian Govern ment. The only resource will be to send a strong squadron to the entrance of the Red Sea,-and.pa trol the Mediterranean with a steam fleet, thus diverting no inconsiderable sectiop of our strength simply to keep open a road. On' the .longer .roue matters will be even worse. Steam has not been generally employed for the carriage of heavrgobds round the Cape. Our ships from China and India are the richest which sail the ocean, and .will be in a proportionate degree the objects of attack. The system of issuing letters of marque has never been finally abandoned. Every sharp Havre trader, every unscrupulores Y an k ee w ill b e taking them out, and in a few months.war risks must be added to the other drawbacks on our. costly trade. The trade may 'tear it, for, with the excep tion of silk and ind;:go, the demand must increase. The prices of saltpetre and seeds, of all fibres, and all articles of food ought to rise as, they had begun to do during the Russian war. But war, changes commerce into speculation, and though a few for tunes may be made more rapidly, and on a larger scale than before, the mass of Traders must suffer annoyance only surpassedby their direct pecuniary loSs. The effect upon the Indian money-market will depend materially on the duration of the war, but, sensitive as that market is; We may safely affirm that the average of fluctuation and conse quent loss will be about three times that of the London Exchange. Every movement in the coun try itself will pi educe exaggerated apprehension, from the certainty that England can lend no aid, and, as we pointed out last week, three of our great cities are not exempt from actual danger of attack. War, we fear, will not yield to Anglo-Indians the pleasurable excitement it is apt to afford to quiet Englishmen.—Friend of India. ADULTERATION OF BEER. All the various kinds of beer, known as porter, ale, Strasburg, Louvain, small beer, 8.7 c., differ from each other only in the manipulation -and relative proportions of their proper ingredients, unless noxious substances be mixed'up with the latter. Beer, according to its strength, contains from 3 to 8 per cent. of pure alcohol; but its quality may be influenced by the nature of the water or clarifying substances used, or by the vessels used either to brew or to keep the liquid, and which may impreg nate it with copper, lead, calcareous salts, or tartaric acid. The copper, if any, may be discovered by evaporating the beer to the consistence of an ex tract, incinerating the latter, and treating it with dilute nitric acid, which will assume a bluish colour, and become darker by the addition of ammonia. If a piece of iron scoured with dilute sulphuric acid be then introduced into the solution, the former will be precipitated upon it in a metallic state. The presence of lead will become evident by sulphate of soda, which produces a white precipitate ; oxalate of ammonia will effect a similar precipitate if- the liquid -contain calcareous salts, and tartaric acid, which is not dangerous to health, may be detected by a solution of potash, poured on the extract above described, redissolved in water, which will give a granular precipitate. But adulteration in its stricter sense comprises the substitution of various drugs or leaves for hops. Such are the leaves COMO box-tree and of the menyanthes, the flowers of the linden tree, gentian, poppy heads, guaiacum, or lignum vitae, Spanish juice, henbane, grains of paradise, coculus indicus, cayenne pepper, nux vomica, and a powder composed of sulphate of copper, persul phate of iron, fecula, and a bitter and astringent. extract of some sort. Some of the above substances are the reverse of noxious ; the leaves of the box tree are sudorific and slightly , purgative ; gentian is tonic and a febrifuge; guiacum is hot, aromatic, and anti-rheumatic ; Spanish juice is innocent, and used only to deepen the colour, &c. But poppy heads are narcotic, henbane stupifying, cocculus indicus is acrid and intoxicating, and nux vomica, as well as other drugs of the stryclozos genus, are positively deleterious, producing tetanus, and even in small doses giddiness and convulsions. They are, in fact, used to poison dogs and cats with, and brewers using them consequently incur a serious amount of responsibility, the more so as this kind of adulteration may be easily detected by redUcing the beer to an extract as above, and then treating it by alcohol ; the latter dissolves-the strychnine and brucine, which are the vegetable bases of the family of the stiychnew, and their nature is imme eliately tested by sulpuric acid and bichromate of potassia. As for the compound powder, the only really noxious substance it contains is sulphate of copper, the test for which is given above. THE ARMY. The subject of providing nutritious daily food for the army under all circumstances having for some time past occupied the attention of the highest authorities, it has in a measure superseded a portion of the military brill and field-day movements at Woolwich, which are frequently dispensed with to give place to practical experiments snggestiVe of improvements for cooking the soldiers' rations. Theexperiments with Capt. Grant's patent kitchens which were successfully tried on Dartford -heath, as detailed in The Sun yesterday, are ordered to be repeated this morning on a similar scale in Hyde park, for the satisfaction of the Duke of Cambridge. One brigade of Guards and one battery of Royal Artillery will assemble in the pa rk in marching order this morning, when the business of pitching tents, entrenching the pontoon stove. cooking, &c., as performed on Dartford-heath, will commence at 11 o'clock, and subsequently in the day the pon toons will be converted into a couple of rafts, on an extended scale, for trying experiments on the Ser pentine. Capt. Grant will direct the proceedings by special desire of the General Commanding-in-Chief. The reinforcements of cavalry and infantry under orders to proceed to India are not expected to em bark until between the 20th and 31st of August. The number of troops ordered to embark from Chatham garrison has been considerably increased in consequence of the arrival of the depts of the 73d and 77th Regiments, which number upwards of 1,000 bayonets. The 2d battalion of the 67th Regiment arrived yesterday at Liverpool from Plymouth, on the way to Manchester, in the steam transport Himalaya. The 22d Regiment, from Weedon and other places, will embark on board the same vessel to-day for Dublin. Detachments of Royal Marines have been draughted from Woolwich for her Majesty's coast guard screw steamships Cornwallis, in the Humber; Pembroke, at Harwich ; and the Hastings, at Liver pool, of 60 guns each. The paddlewheel steam vessel Firefly, in readiness for sea, was yesterday hauled out of basin at Woolwich, and is expect ed to sail to-morrow for the Channel Islands, on a survey. AGRICULTURAL STEAM-ENGINES. " Yes," said Plummer, " there have been very great improvements lately ; and in no branch of our business is this more noticeable than in the construction of these engines about us." I looked interested, and he continued :—" Ten years ago the term Agricultural Steam Engine' had scarcely a recognised existence ; now there are some thou sands of these busy bees humming away in this country alone." I asked what he considered the chief ag ents in working such a revolution. " In crease improvement and adaptability to their work in the machines," he replied. " The first en gines'of this description were expensive, ill-made pieces of machinery, costly in working, and diffi cult to move from place to place, from their great weight ; now they are models of lightness, good workmanship, and economy. Our annual show has done wonders in bringing about this change, and the system of competitive trials of the relative merits of engines by the different makers has pro duced very marked results. This engine," he con tinued, nodding towards that near which we stood, " is our last year's racer—a first-class engine in every respect. " " Last year's racer."' I exclaimed what do you mean ?" " Ah," he replied, " racer' has grown to be quite a recognised term in the trade now. We call those engines ' racers' which we exhibit and enter for the Royal Agricul tural Society's prizes ; and I can assure you," he added, " that the run against your rivals, as well as the preparatory training' and. ' trial gallops,' are by no means unexciting amusements." "Do you mean to tell me," I said, " that you really train engines— steam engines --for these yearly races' as you call them ?" Most seriously I do," said plummer ; " but you seem interested as well as surprised: make up your mind, then, to run down into Blankshire for a week next June, and we will give you a peep into the mysteries of an agricul tural engineer's mechanical ' stud,' and show yon the paces of some of our forthcoming crack entries for the Carlisle meeting of 1858."—Onee a-Weak. LONDON HOSPITAL.—A special general meeting of the governors of this institution was 'held yesterday for the purpose of electing a physician of hospital. Dr. John Langdon Haydon Down, of the Asfiura for Idiots at Earls wood, and Dr. Jabez Spence Raw offered themselves for the post, but prior to the elect ion Dr. Down retired, and the choice of the governors c'Jnsequently Veil upon Dr. Ramskill.
