With Cases and En gravings from Life, representing the various Organs in Health and Disease. The extensive circulation of this work may be attributed in great measure to the fact that the Author is the only duly qualified and legally registered Practitioner who for 20 veers has made the Diseases arising usually from Imprudence the peculiar objects of his attention. The im pediments which so often either prohibit wedlock, or embitter and render it a state of misery, by disappointing. its fondest hopes and marring its highest objects, are, though varied in form, closely analogous in reality. The mischief inay arise in nocently, from deleterious influences devolved from the in fluence of tropical climates, but chlefly fr om necessities of position—from circumstances which occurred years before the sufferer. were born, from accident or the in- Afflictions. dating, back, in too numerous instances, to a period long Self-incurred preceding that at which reason could be matured by ex perience. A professional prejudice, which happily is now fast disap pearing, though it still lingers with no little obstinacy in some of the more antiquated medical schools, for a long time a l m ost ignored the morbid affections onscompiised under the p:,eneral designation "Ne rvous and Physical De bility , " though these affections are probably va lent than any others.

SMITH ventures to remind the public that he appears in their midst as a favoured caterer for their amuse ment, and bases his claim for a patent of precedency in that respect upon the "GREAT FACT " that, by no ordinary struggles against "quality" prejudices, he has established the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, as the play-house for the people. Mr. tiVIITH. f ur ther challenges the Musical Army to point out one Volunteer who has made more rapid strides towards advancing the taste for Music than himself H e has provided for the million. at the lowest prices of admission, the grandest Operas, English and Italian, illustrated by the mo st accom p,ished artists ; in a word, he has broken up that inharmoni ous monopoly which shut out high-class compositions not only from the humWer. but from the middle &asses of English society. In his present great effort unmatched in the history of modern times, Mr. SMITH will, he trusts, amply sustain the character it is his ambition to merit. The Alhambra Palace will be no ordinary p'ace of enter tainment ; and, with emphasis, he directs attention to the OPENING NIGHT, MONDAY, Drc. 10, 1860, And Every Evening at Seven o'clock precisely. The Musical Direction is confided to Mr. James Tully, the popular conductor at the Theatre-Royal, Drury Lane. The name of that gentleman is alone a guarantee for the orchestral department! In the Refreshment Department a prospectus is needless, when it is stated that it will be under the superintendence of Mr. James Ellis, from Australia, who will be favourably re membered as the original proprietor of Cremorne Gardens, Chelsea, and of the Adelaide Gallery, Strand. Mr. Ellis may fairly lay claim to having given rise and impetus to all the popular music halls and salons of amusement which now form so conspicuous and leading an element of public appre ciation. Mr. Smith feels it scarcely necessary to add, that he has gone to enormous expense in making the Palace of the Alhambra a giant specimen of good taste and of public com fort. The whole of the building has been altered, and the designs carried out under the superintendence of Mr. William Bever ley, of her Majesty's Theatre, and the Theatre Royal, Drury lane. The Proscenium and Paintings in the Dome have been. executed by the celebrated artists, Messrs. Danson and Sons. In thanking the Public for the gracious support previously conferred on him, Mr. SMITH respectfully submits to their patronage an unparalleled example of his energy, expendi ture, and zeal. COME ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 106, at Seven. Admission, SIXPENCE. FINSBURY CIRCUS RALLWAy TERMINUS. Yesterday a numerously attended public meeting of the inhabitants of Finsbury and its immediate neighbourhood was held at the White Hart Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, " to take into consideration the proper course to be pursued for best protecting the interests of the parties whose property or rights may be interfered with or prejudiced by the proposed railway extension to a Finsbury-circus Terminus." Mr. Alfred Smee, F.R.S., occupied the chair. The CHAIRMAN said he had been called upon by a requisition from 45 merchants and other gentle men largely interested in the property of the dis trict to preside at a meeting, for the purpose of ascertaining the opinions of the inhabitants with regard to the proposed Finsbury-circus Terminus. If carried out, he believed the scheme would have the effect of doing away with Finsbury-circus and the property adjacent; it would destroy one of the most open sites which this metropolis could boast, besides sweeping off one of the best literary societies in London, a hospital, and various other buildings of importance. It could not be carried out without thousands of persons being ruined, it therefore demanded the earnest consideration of Parliament, as property to the extent of five millions was involved. He concluded by inviting gentlemen in the meeting to express their opinions with regard to the proposed undertaking. After a few words from Messrs. DAVIS and HEM'S, of Liverpool street, Mr. DIGBY, of Finsbury-circus, explained the general outline of the scheme. He believed that it was promoted by the shareholders in four different lines of railway, whose extensions would converge to the proposed terminus in Finsbury-circus, and that the shareholders in those railways were also shareholders in this undertaking ; it was proposed to take the whole of Finsbury-circus for the plat form, to which the four tributarie3 in question would converge. The occupants of property in the district had a strong phalanx opposed to them, but it behoved them to resist the scheme by every means in their power. Dr. EDMUNDS, of Spital- square, was of opinion that the proposed terminus would interfere with the trade of the neighbourhood, and most materially with the property of the district. Before they con sented to the proposed scheme they should make inquiries as to what compensation they would be likely to get in case of having their property taken from them. Mr. E. SAUNDERS, of Finsbury-circus, did not think it was a matter which could be dealt with by such a meeting as that. and he consideied it would be advisable to appoint a committee to look into the Matter. It was not desirable, in a large city such as London, to take away large open spaces such as Finsbury-circus, and it was a matter which affected every member of the community. Mr. WALKER, of Sun-street, combated the objec tions of some of the previous speakers. They all knew what the existing railway in the neighbour hood had done for them ; the property had been much improved by it, and houses which were for merly let at 150 per annum, and commanded but little trade, now realised double that sum, and pro vided a good living for their occupants. Mr. MATTHEWS moved " That, as the proposed or some central railway station, with its tributaries, may receive the sanction of Parliament, precau tionary measures should be adopted for protecting the interests of persons whose property or rights may be interfered with or prejudicially affected." The resolution was carried, and a committee appointed for the purpose of giving effect to it. THE GREAT LEATHER FAILURES. (From the Times' City Article.) It is to be hoped that all Englishmen interested in the trade of their country, and especially those who may be at the outset of a mercantile career, will read every word of the examinations now in progress in the Bankruptcy Court in the case of Streatfeild, Laurence, and Co. The revelations yesterday confirm all the worst surmises as to the financiering processes by which the business was of late years carried on, and the lesson conveyed is the old one—that when the accommodation system has once been commenced the final result is merely a question of time. Through the infatuation which this firm seems, in some quarters, to have had the power of inspiring, the present case happens, in point of extent, to be one of the most remarkable on record ; but the details are almost precisely similar to those of a majority of the cases that were developed at Glas gow, Liverpool, and London during the clearance that took place in 1857, and which would have been more effectual but for the interference of the Govern ment. According to the latest evidence, the profits with which the London house, Streatfeild,Laurence, and Co. has credited itself during the last 10 years have been at the rate of nearly £30,000 per annum, while those of the London and Liverpool houses combined have recently been estimated at about double that amount. A large proportion of these " profits" simply consisted of charges of 2 per cent. commission every four months for the renewal of the fictitious paper manufactured by themselves, and the 11 minor establishments that were their satellites. The total trade transactions of the two firms at London and Liverpool during the last three years and a half amounted to £5,377,750. One of the subordinate houses was in that interval supplied with accommodation to the extent of £706,000, while the actual dealings with it in tangible goods would have been represented by £20,000. Happily, it is now admitted that " Mr. Laurence was mis taken when he said this was in the usual way of the trade." The bills, as fast as they were concocted, were arranged in the manner " in which it was thought they would best go down in the discount world." The principal parties to them seem to have formed a kind of clab at Messrs. Streatfeild's, where they met to specify their current wants. In order, however, that the bills should not betray the eff-hand nature of their origin, they were "invariably" drawn for odd money. " The firm," it is added, " had never taken stock." Under these circumstances the two points that most strike the attention are, first, the enormous extent of misre presentation that must have been steadily resorted to, unless we are to suppose that the discounters by whom the concern was upheld, and whose manifes tations of confidence gave confidence to others, never asked any questions ; and, next, to the pro cess of demoralisation that must infallibly have been going on for years, not only among the petty traders who were lending themselves to the affair, but also their clerks and all who had opportunities of form iag suspicions. The case of Mr. Mundy is a strik ing instance in this respect. He was paying his way respectably till, in 1857, Mr. Laurence told him he wanted " to make use of him as an acceptor of a few bills." In this way he suffered his name to go out for £25,000, and is now insolvent to that extent. If there is one school of vice more damag ing than another, it is that of a secret manufactory of accommodation bills, kept up with all the pres tige that in this country attends the existence of great commercial firma. , CIVIC BANQU.ET TO LORD CLYDE. Last night the Master and Wardens of the 'Skinner's Company_gave a sumptuous banquet to Gen. Lord Clyde on the occasion of presenting to him the freedom of the Company, in testimony of his eminent services as Commander-in-Chief of the British forces in the pacification of India. The ceremony of presentation took place at a Court of Assistants, at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. The freedom, which was elaborately illuminated on parchment, after a design by Mr. Wadmore, a past Master of the Company, and was surmounted by the arms of the Skinners' Company, of the city, and of Lord Clyde, bore the following inscription : " At a Court of Assistants, holden at Skinners'- hall, on Thursday, Dec. 6, 1860, the Right Hon. Colin Campbell, Lord Clyde, G.C.8., K.C.8., D.C.L., was this day admitted into the Guild or Fraternity of the Body of Christ of the Skinners of London by virtue of an order of the Court of Assistants on the 2d day of August last, in testi mony of his distinguished services as Commander in-Chief of the British Forces in _lndia, and his name enrolled accordingly, Benjamin Richard AF.ton, Esq., being Master; Joseph Causton, Geo. Legg, George Trist, and Samuel Wig, Esquires, `Wardens ; in testimony whereof the common seal of the Company is hereunto affixed the day and year above written." The dinner took place in the ancient and beauti ful Hall of the Company, which was elegantly decorated with appropriate military trophies, ever- greens, exotics in splendid flower, &c. The buffet behind the chair displayed a variety of golden salvers and goblets, and the tables gleamed with a profusion of antique ornamental plate. The Master of the Company, Mr. Benjamin Richard Aston, occupied the chair, having on his right the Right Hon. General Lord Clyde, Major- General Sir Richard Dacres, K.C.B , Col. M'Murdo, Lieutenant-Colonel Norman, Major Sutherland, the Right Hon. Sir Thomas Fremantle, Bart., Mr. Edward Romilly, Chairman of the Audit Board ; he Rev. W. H.

Grace was said by Dr. Milman, Dean of St. Paul's. The cuisine, by Messrs. Ring and Brymer, Corn hill, the wines and dessert were super-excellent. After grace from the Laudi Spirituali, A.D. 1545. The CHAIRMAN rose to give the first toast, " The Health of that noble and most illustrious Lady, her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen." (Drunk with all the honours, and followed by the National Anthem.) The next toast was " The Health of his Royal Highnese the Prince Consort, the steady and suc cessful patron and promoter of the Arts and Sciences, the Prince of Wales, who has recently paid a pleasing visit to our Cousins on the other side of the Atlantic, and the Rest of the Royal Family." (All the honours, followed by the glee " Hark the Lark.") The MASTER said the next toast was one which had always been enthusiastically received in Skinner's-hall—" The Army and Navy." They all knew that the brave and gallant men of both t'lose services, next to the approbation of their Sovereign„ appreciated ;the applause of their fellow-citizens. (Cheers.) They were honoured to-night by the presence of several distinguished officers both of the army and navy, and he was sure that in toast- ing them immediately after the members of the Royal family they had acted most properly, as it was impossible to forget that these noble and devoted men were ever ready to sacrifice even He itself in defence of their Sovereign and their country. (Cheers.) He had great pleasure in proposing the Army, in connection with the name of Sir R. Dacres, and the Navy with Admiral Walcott. (Cheers.) Sir R. DACRES acknowledged the compliment on the part of the army. In presence of such a noble- man as Lord Clyde, he could only speak with regard to the army with great diffidence ; but he might appeal to that noble lord, who had Peen the British army in all climates and circumstances, whether they had not invariably done their duty. (Cheers.) It was a great source of satisfaction to the army to know that their countrymen duly appreciated their efforts on all occasions, and he could only say, so far as his own knowledge was concerned, that the British army, led by such men as Lord Clyde—(cheers)—would never be deficient in the performance of any duty to which they might be called. (Cheers.) Admiral WALCOTT felt great pleasure in having his name associated with the toast, but, in the pre sence of a senior officer, begged to devolve the hon our of returning thanks for the navy on Admiral Sir George Seymour. (Cheers.) Admiral Sir G. SEYMOUR returned thanks. On the present occasion, when Lord Clyde was the par ticular object of the compliment paid by the com pany, he must say the profession to which he belonged were sensibly alive to the great merits of the gallant General. They knew that after a long course of distinguished services he went out at a moment's warning to India, to take command of the British forces in one of the greatest contests in which they were ever engaged—(cheers)—a contest which he had brought to a triumphant issue —(cheers)-- and now that he had returned to this country it was most fitting that he should receive the honours be had so gallantly won. (Cheers.) The navy of late had had but scant opportunities of serving the country in maritime war; but under the gallant General there was, he was proud to say, a force of Marines whose labours had not been undistin guished. (Cheers.) In China, too, these men had recently been most laboriously and usefully em ployed, and he hoped their merits would be rewarded. (Cheers.) It was difficult to say to Englishmen that there could be anything wrong in the Press, but he did wish that on a late occasion there had been more caution exercised in some of the charges that were made in reference to the sea men in the Royal Navy. He believed, if they had been properly inquired into, those charges would have been found without foundation. He must say that during the 13 years he had been employed as an Admiral he had never heard any complaint of men being either ill paid, ill fed, or ill used ; and if there had been ground for any such complaints most assuredly he would have heard of them. He was convinced that every one who heard him was anxious to maintain the discipline of the navy, in order that it might be useful to the country ; but he would venture to suggest to some of his friends that to say the men were discontented was too often the way, as human nature goes, to make them so. He did not say that he would not be glad ; o see the pay in the navy increased. He should be glad to see it, but such topics should be introduced only when Parliament was sitting, and be considered with special regard to the state of the mercantile marine and the wages which our merchants can afford to give to their sailors. He was anxious that the navy should maintain its high standing, but in order to that it was necessary that its disci pline should as an essential element be preserved. (Cheering.)

His Lordship's important public services are matter of history. For a period of 53 years has Lord Clyde been a soldier. (Cheers.) He has served his Queen and country in the Peninsula, in America, in Demerara, China, the Punjaub, the Crimea, at Alma, Balak lava, and Sebastopol; and lastly, but not least, in India—(loud cheers) —where by his valour, judg ment, and wisdom he has justly e arned the title of the Pacificator of India. (Loud cheers.) He was wounded at the second relief of Lucknow, and on three former occasions during his professional career (Cheers.) It could not therefore be surprising under such circumstances that all classes of the citizens of London vied with each other in doing him honour. It might be novel for his lordship to learn that the Corporation of the Skinners consisted of a sister hood—(cheers)—to which belonged Queer Elizabeth of famous memory and many other noble ladies. They possessed among their archives a pleasing likeness of that celebrated Monarch, to which, by the by, he might call the attention of his friends. (Cheers.) To their brotherhood now belonged Lord Clyde, whom they had the happiness of seeing face to face—their youngest but most distinguished brother. (Cheers.) He trusted his lordship would often visit Skinners'-hall—his own hall—(cheers) — and in conclusion he would only express his earnest hope, heartfelt desire, and sincere prayer, that Heaven might long continue to his lordship health and its choicest blessings. (Loud cheers.) He begged to propose "The health of General Lord Clyde, Citizen Skinner." The toast was drunk with much enthusiasm. Lord CLYDE, who was received with much applause, said—Allow me to thank you most heartily for the handsome manner in which my name has been presented to you and my health re ceived by this distinguished assembly. (Cheers.) It is with no slight pleasure, I assure you, that an old soldier feels himself kindly received and welcomed by important public bodies on his return to his native country. (Cheers.) I feel a great pride in finding myself enrolled on the books of this ancient and honourable society in company with the names of many of England's sons who have performed distinguished services to their country. (Cheers.) It is also a gratification to me that this body, of which I am a humble member, is distinguished as one of the most liberal and enlightened administra- tors of its large and valuable possessions in Ireland. (Cheers.) I see around me so many distinguished persons to whom it will be a pleasure to you to listen that I will not further intrude on your time, but will only again beg to thank you for the great kindness I have received at your hands. (Loud and continued cheering.) Song by Miss Ransford, " Peace inviting." The MASTER next proposed "The City of London and the trade thereof," coupled with the health of the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor. (Cheers.) They were assembled in the first city of the first empire in the world, and they were all more or less iden _. ified with its trade and commerce. They were honoured, moreover, with the presence of the chief magistrate of the city of London, a gentleman long and honourably connected with the trade and com merce of the country, and who possessed the in valuable privilege of enjoying the unlimited confi dence of all classes of his fellow-citizens. (Cheers.) _ _ _ They could not, therefore, do better than drink " Prosperity to the City of London and the trade thereof," coupled with the health of the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor. (Loud cheers.) The LORD MAYOR said he felt much ho ,oured in being the guest of the Skinners' Compan:c, to meet that d;stinguished company, and in having his name coupled with the trade and commerce of the city of London. Looking back to a remote period, he had every reason to believe that the great . . country to which they belonged owed its position in the world to the trade and commerce of the city of London. (Cheers.) In the days in which they lived there were many great ports and towns which competed for the benefit of the country, competed successfully, with the city of London; but at an early period they would find that the trade and commerce of the country, confined to a very limited sphere, bad its origin and seat on the spot on which they were assembled. (Cheers.) It was to the enterprise of British merchants who then lived in the city of London that our great empire was in- debtedfor its birth, development, and growth. To take a single instance, whence came our empire in India ? It was owing to the enterprise of British merchants who must then have lived hi the city of London, a small body of gentlemen who sent out some ships to establish stations and trade in India. Their object was peaceful commerce. Aggression would after a while necessarily lead to self-defence, and from self-defence to conquest. We saw in our colonisation, indeed, all over the world, that the results were attributable to the enterprise of our citizens. (Cheers.) He rejoiced to have his name identified with that great city ; and although the city and the corporation might be said to be small, they werenot to be reproached 01,1 that account. It so happened that in the course of events, from the force of circumstances, the corporation of the city of London only covered one square mile, while the population of this great metropolis extended over 150 square miles. But it must be remembered that the city was still the very heart of the whole popu lation, and that although their numbers in the city did not during the night exceed 130,000, by day the population was not less than 500,000. (Cheers.) His fellow-citizens had placed him in the highest post, and he esteemed it as not one of his least pri vileges to be honoured as the guest of the different companies, to be present on such occasions as the present, when honour was to be done to distin guished men. He felt much gratification in being present when a worthy compliment was paid to Lord Clyde—a distinguished warrior who had done so much not only to vindicate the honour of our country but to save the lives of our countrymen and countrywomen. (Loud cheers.) He begged to return the company his best thanks for the honour they had done him. (Cheers.) The MASTER next proposed " The Health of the Judges." (Cheers.) Vice-Chancellor KINDERSLEY had great gratifi cation in being present on that interesting occasion, when the citizens of a free country, and especially those of such a city as London, vied with each other in offering the tribute of their respect and gratitude to so distinguished a soldier as Lord Clyde. (Cheers.) He hoped the day was far dis tant when any mistaken notions of economy and reform, so called, would have the effect of prevent ing the great civic institutions of this country from paying such a tribute to distingui shed men, whether soldiers, sailors, or statesmen. (Cheers.) On occa sions of this kind the citizens of London were enabled to express their gratitude in person to the most eminent benefactors of the c ommunity—those who had shed their blood and were ready to sacri fice their lives for their defence and security, 1k hoped therefore they would not only be prized as they deserved, but continued. (Cheers.) He must not forget, however, that he was a lawyer speaking in presence of a soldier. There was a well-k nown saying tnter arma silent leges, or, as it was some times translated, " among the soldiers the less lawyers say the better." (A laugh.) He begged to thank the company for proposing his health in connection with the judges, (Cheers.) Vice-Chanccllor Sir AV, PAGE WOOD said that the command of the Mater alone induced him to rise, for he felt the justice of his colleague's observa tion, and free translation of the apophthegm he had cited—namely, that in the presence of such a soldier as Lord Clyde the lawyers had better be silent. Happily none but a free translation of that saying inter arena jury silent could be applicable to the position of our country. Here alone or to 200 years past at least the army was emp to y not to enslave and keep down the People' but defend our liberties both at h ome and abroad, 1 $:". - e - -e-e---e,(.i -) -Ar , r- . - -c•-.,- • -) t e - ) -- ----) `.•°%("•': . - 7'-'''' r, (Cheers.)

The next toast was " the Worshipful Company of Skinners," which was followed by " the Masters ,of the City Companies." Mr. WOOD returned thanks. Lord CLYDE, as junior member of the Company, proposed " the health of the Master of the ancient, honourable, and distinguished Company whose guests they had been, and thanks for the magnifi cent hospitality of which they had partaken." (Cheers.) The MASTER returned thanks, and gave " the , Visitors," coupled with the name of Sir Thomas Fremantle. Sir THOMAS FREMANTLE said they were all most desirous to do honour to the noble lord the principal guest of the evening, and he could not help refer ring to an incident which had occurred at a dinner given by the Skinners' Company last summer, when Lord Clyde was present. He had only done justice to his own feelings in attributing to the noble lord the merit due to him for Inc public spirit he had displayed in going to India at 48 hours' notice, suppressing the mutiny, and sav ing the empire; but on that occasion Lord Clyde, though unwilling to address public assemblies, rose from his seat, and after thanking himlfor his com pliments assured the company that the whole merit of the success was due to Lord Canning, the Go vernor-General—(cheers)—whose orders he had carried out. (Cheers.) Such was the modesty of the noble. lord, who was most anxious to do justice to others, and not to accept a compliment which he thought rightfully belonged to his superior officer. This was the greatest proof of sterling worth, and he felt that Lord Clyde was not onlya distinguished commander and a gallant soldier, but a great man. TUE BRITISH LEGION. (FROM A MEMBIER , OF THE LEGION.) CASERTA, MoNDAY, Nov. 26. After considerable delay and uncertainty as to the course which would be finally taken by the Sardinian Government with regard to the disposal of the brigade, it is at length arranged that the disbandment is to take place immediately, and orders were received last evening from Naples for the discharges to be made out without further delay. Each man will receive six months' pay, including rations, and a free passage home. A great portion of the commissariat stores and baggage goes to Naples to-day, and in all probability we shall arrive there to-morrow or the next day, and start for England shortly afterwards. A proposition was made to us by Major Styles to join the Sardinian army,.but as it wasnecessary to sign an agreement binding ourselves to serve for two years, very few were found willing to accept it, and the idea was accordingly abandoned. By order of Col. Peard, Major Styles was placed under arrest, on the pre tence of seducing the men from their allegiance, and he is now waiting to take his trial upon this and other charges. The arbitrary measures adopted by Col. Peard and the general want of system dis played in the management of the brigade from the very commencement, have given rise to a wide-spread feeling of dissatisfaction amongst the men, and so strong has this become latterly that in some instances it has resulted in open mutiny. The causes of difference between the men and their corn wander are various; but the principal grievance is the harsh tone of manner adopted both by himself and several of the superior officers tosvaids them, and the utter indifference generally displayed in matters affecting their health and comfort. The medical department has also been conducted in a singularly inefficient manner, it having been neces sary in many cases that have come under my own observation to make repeated applications before attention was paid, and even then in many instances the medical stores were so insufficiently provided that the proper remedies were not on the spot. The day before yesterday a report was prevalent that Captain De Burgh, the quartermaster, had gone to Naples, bearing with him a petition to the King, purporting to be signed by the men of the English Legion, praying that the regiment might not be disbanded, but continue on the roll of the army for two years, and asking also that the same stringent regulations as to discipline might be enforced as those put in force in the regular army. This report created great excitement, and a general meeting of the men was held in the barrack-room, at which it was determined that a deputation should wait on the commanding officer (Major Smelt), with the view of inquiring into the truth of the report. The deputation waited in the first instance upon Major Hoskins, who is understood to have said. that the men were about to be sent home in disgrace, in consequence of their officers' behaviour with reference to the memorial against Colonel Peard. This reply created general dissatis faction, and considerable uproar and confusion ensued. Shortly afterwards Major Diamond came down and requested that a certain number of non commissioned officers from each company would step forward and state the causewhich had induced them to assemble in such an irregular manner. Sergeant Rylands was then appointed spokesman,. on the part of the men, and stated the grounds ot complaint, referring to the document already me_g tioned, which, he said, had been drawn up already without their knowledgo or sanction. Major 1) paper in in reply, denied all knowledge of pawpas in question, and stated that if such a petitionleJihad by existence, and it had been laid before 1 by Captain de Burgh, he (Captain tie urh ha g d taken a step in which he was quite 11 was received with sible. The major's statement and for which he would be held persona y respon d Burgh e presented much applause, and for the time . the matter dropped. The next morning Captain himself, and he was instantly surrounded by alarge number of the men, who demanded an immediate explanation. Ca p tain de Burgh then stated that for he iits object certainly tdidhe continuancetake wit h him of the Legion as aa petition having per manent force , but th at it was only intended for t h ose men who wished to remain. In reply to Sergeant Sparkhall, who throughout the affair took a prominent part in sifting it f a in de Burgh stated that the tioiettihteionhe held in his bottom, Cap same as that he took with him to the the purpose of presentation to the N h a a p n l d e s w for as King, but he had not done so, and he now wished to withdraw it altogether.

The Naval Brigade, which is composed principally of Englishmen, will Probably be disembodied in the c ourse of this week. The Zouaves, which also comprised a great number of Englishmen, including several members of the British Legion, have also been disbanded.
