The Minister of the Interior has addressed the following circular to the Prefects on the system which ought to be pursued relative to the press in France: . _ PARIS, Dec. 6. Monsieur le Prefet,—Charged with the dis cretionary power which the law on the press confers on the Minister of the Interior, I am anxious to make known to you clearly in what spirit I intend to exercise that power. I have just been living among a people who may be justly proun of their institutions; where the liberty of the press is openly exercised, without being a danger either to the state, to public order, or to the safety of persons and of things ; and where useful to all parties, appealed to and respected by all, it forms the surest guarantee of public liberty, of order, and of the prosperity of the country. I have long witnessed that noble suectscle, and if formerly I had not liked true liberty, I should have acquired a taste for it in that Country. As England, therefore, has preceded us in that career,, it is natural that we should endeavour to ascertain by -what means she has succeeded in assimilating to herself the liberty of the press, which amongst us still meet with so many enemies, excites so much uneasiness, and presents so many dangers. Let us, then, see how this great problem has been solved in England, and like the Romans, who, constantly improving their means of fighting, adopted even the weapons of their enemies, let us profit by the example of our rivals in glory and in power. When we study the law on the Press in England from the period of the accession offtthe House of Hanover, we are first of all struck with its extreme rigour. The passions of the times and the violent struggle between the partisans of two rival dynas ties and of two opposite religions, appear at first to explain this terrible legislation ; but when we arrive at the present period, when nothing of the pas sions of the last century exists, and when nevertheless we behold the new laws inspired by the same spirit of severity, by the same political preoccupations, and interdicting quite as absolutely the same thing, we cannot but be struck by the contrast which is to be remarked between the extreme liberty which in our eyes is enjoyed by the English press and th e r i gour of the laws which govern it ; the question presents itself as to the cause of this phenomenon, which appears so strange, and as it bursts forth at each page of the history of England, and at each article of her legislation, astonishment is felt that it should have been so long the custom on the Continent to invoke the example of England, not only .for the purpose of claiming the great freedom enjoyed by the English press, but also other liberties which the most severe and most rigorous legislation inter dicts to this latter. Thus, down to the complete annihilation of the party of the Stuarts, the English laws on the press appear to have only a single object —to defend the new dynasty against its political or religious enemies, and to interdict in the name of liberty, as it were, the arms and instruments of liberty to the adversaries of the new institutions of the country. From 1692, already under William of Orange, to the fall of the Stuart party, in place of the censor ship which had for some time existed under him, but which was a mild measure compared to what followed, the regime of the press, of books, of jour nals, of publications of all kinds, was subjected to the jurisdiction of the common law. To understand the character of that jurisdiction, it must be stated that, contrary to the statute law, which is the law written and voted by the parlia ment, the common law is the unwritten law, lex non scripta, which remains in the memory and consciences of the judges, interpreting the traditions of the past ; that this law gives a discretionary power to the judges of the crown as regards the penalties to be pronounced after the verdict of the jury; and that thus, during all the time that the House of Hanover had in the interior political or re ligious enemies—that is to say, during all that period of passions and violence—the judges of the crown exercised the rigorous right of condemning any per son guilty of having written, published, or printed attacks on the crown and state, not only to fine, im prisonment, scourging, and the pillory, but even to death ; and that, not as now, on a declaration of the jury on the offence itself, but on the simple decla ration on the fact is such a person the author, pub lisher, or printer of such a work. Now, if we reflect that the judges nominated by the crown were chosen from among the most zealous partisans of the House of Hanover, and were even liable, up to 1760, to dismissal by the crown, it may be imagined what was the liberty of the press for the partisans of the Stuarts, for the Jacobites, the Catholics, or Papists, as they were then called, and other enemies of the state. It was only at the end of the last century, when the House of Hanover had been long consolidated, the party of the Stuarts annihilated, and that of the catholics subjected, that on public opinion demanding a modification of this rigorous legislation, Fox obtained from parliament a bill for applying the verdict of the jury not to the fact alone, but to the character of the seditious pub lication or libel, which alteration naturally made the legislation on the matter considerably milder. I will slot here dwell on details by enumerating the arms which the English legislature has placed at the disposal of the Government, but I will cite two characteristic circumstances which will serve to show in what spirit our neighbours regard the press. Twenty-five years after Fox's bill, when England saw herself at the very height of power and only thought thenceforth of enjoying her liberties in peace, it happened-that after a serious economical crisis, caused by the dearness of provisions and the heavy burden of taxation consequent on the war, and also favoured by the unpopularity of the Prince Regent—it happened, I say, that a kind of repub lican doctrine spreading in the country caused seri ous uneasiness to the authorities, and that juries intimidated or influenced by the new opinions, and using largely the enactments of Fox's bill, often prevented the judges of the crown from applying to the delinquents the principles of the common law. In those new circumstances the English Parlia ment did not hesitate to give to the Government the means of forcing the jury to defend the state; and, in consequence, a law was enacted in 1819 which punished by fine and imprisonment, and, in case of a second conviction, with transportation, the author, publisher, and printer of any seditious writing or libel against the king, the royal family, the regent, the government, the constitution, and either house of parliament ; and this was effected by means of provisions so minute, so precise, that it was scarcely possible for the conscience of jurymen to avoid meet ing the necessities of the state. But when the crisis of 1848 came on, and with it new emotions, and new parties hostile to established order, further difficulties were experienced from juries. The necessity was then felt of determining with still greater clearness and precision the attacks to which the state might be expnced ; ana a new law, intituled "An Act for better assuring the security of the Crown and of the Government," was accordingly added to the terrible arsenal of English legislation. Tbis time the success was complete— the weapon was so keenly sharpened that it triumphed over even an Irish jury, and on their verdict two journalists guilty of seditious libels (John Mitchell and John Machin*) were condemned by the judges of the crown to fourteen years' trans portation with hard labour. And now, can any one suppose that, if these judi cial expedients, in conformity with the genius of the Anglo-Norman race, proved inefficient, England would be brought to a halt by mere theories ? Certainly not. Ever faithful to her grand prin ciple that, before being a free people, it is necessary to be a united one, England, which in the past century shrank from erip!oying no means when it was necessary to defend the dynasty of her choice, would not hesitate now if any peril menaced the state. In recapitulation, the spirit of the English legis lation, as regards the press, may be thus summed up: complete liberty fo'r whatever is an advantage or not dangerous for the state, and negation of all liberty of attacking the state; so that the liberty which the English press enjoys so completely is, in reality, the expression of the political and social situation of the country. As there is not at present any party, any sensible man, who would for a moment think of overthrowing either the Queen, or the Government, or the Parliament, or the constitution, there is no ground for any kind of interference with the liberty of the press, which is an advantage for all. But if any party should arise and propose to overthrow the State for the benefit of some other dynasty or doctrine, from that moment the liberty of the press would cease to exist for that party. Thus when, whether is France or elsewhere, declared enemies of an established government adduce the example of England to claim the liberty of attacking the existing polity, by means of the press, they act under mistaken views. When they 's This is misprint, we presume; it s h ou ld b e John a Martin. utter indignant invectives because they are not allowed to attack the State, if their indignation is sincere, they misunderstand the conditions of liberty possible among men, and at all events they calumniate English liberty. The truth is that the example of England proves to us, on the contrary, and in the most striking manner, that the liberty of the press must follow, not precede, the consolidation of a new state, or new dynasty; that so long as there are parties hos tile to the established order, struggling not like the Tories and Whigs for the Ministry, but as the Jacobites formerly did, to overthrow the throne — that is to say, as long as there are nations within the nation, liberty can be given to the enemies of established order only among degenerate nations, who, like the Greeks of the Lower Empire, prefer the right to quarrel and to destroy themselves to the safety of the State. And now, Monsieur le Prefet, I need scareely draw up the instructions which I have to give you. If all parties, all writers, really submitting to the constitutive laws of our society, to universal suf frage, which has founded the throne of the Napo leons in order to make it the basis of our institu tions; if those parties, those writers, respecting the will of the French peop!e, only desire the liberty of the press for the maintenance and prosperity of the State, then they have, in fact and in law, the liberty of the press in England, and the law on warnings becomes a dead letter. That abuses in society or in the government be exposed—that the acts of administration be dis cussed—that injustice be revealed—that the move ment of ideas, of sentiments, of contrary opinions shall everywhere awaken social, political, commer cial, and industrial life—who can reasonably com plain ? But if there are parties who propose to them selves, not to have their ideas, their doctrines, and their sentiments accepted by the Government of the State, but to overthrow the State itself—to oppose to the Government such another Government—and to the dynasty another dynasty—then, whatever , may be the weakness of those parties, respect for national will, public interest, and the law do not permit that passions hostile to established order shall be kept alive; for, without speaking even of any danger, all that retards the fusion of parties in the great family of the State retards, at the same time, the enjoyment of the liberties of our country. As to the instrument which the law at present existing places in my hands by the system of warn ings, I have not to discuss it. Nevertheless, if I may be allowed to express my opinion candidly and without circumlocution, that system, as an excep tional measure, subordinate to the exigencies im posed by the establishment of a new order of things, is doubtless in principle as dictatorial as that founded by the defenders of the House of Hanover; but in application it is more frank and sincere than if it were disguised under judicial formi in the manner of the Hanoverians. It is likewise infinitely more in conformity with the manners and situation of our country. Itis doubt less a difficult matter, as it has been in England, to define the point which separates useful discussion from that which is injurious to the State. It is an affair of conscience as delicate for a Napoleonian Minister as for a Hanoverian judge; but what I can say is, that if I am ready not to draw back before any responsibility, in interdicting the press to make attacks on the State, under whatever pretext, or with whatever authority they may be made, on the other hand I will not consult any ;private conside rations, from whatever quarter they may come, in the resolutions I shall have to take for the pur pose of constantly favouring in our country the acclamation, if I may use the expression, of habits of free discussion. Such, Monsieur le Prefet, is the order of ideas which I recommend to your attention, and which I beg you to take as your rule of conduct in all the propositions which you have to submit to me. Do not forget that the more exceptional the discre tionary power of the administration is over the press, the mere should the exercise of it be directed by a scrupulous good faith. Call to mind more particularly that it is in the interest of the State and not of fhe administration that this power has been delegated to my ministry. Let not your acts, therefore, shelter themselves behind that protec tion, but let them, on the contrary, be like mine, exposed to public discussion. Lastly, inspire your self with the great example set you by the Emperor, and be assured that it is only by your zeal for the public interest that you will prove your devotedness to him.—Accept, &c. F. DE PERSIGNY. OVERCROWDING IN COTTAGES. STATEMENT MADE AT THE DINNER OF THE FARINODON AGRICULTURAL LIBRARY, ON THE 22D OF Nov. 1860. Two years ago, I read to the friends of the Faringdon Agricultural Library a paper on the Condition of the Agricultural Labourer, in which I draw attention to the vast efforts that had been made for the advancement of agriculture in all its departments, and endeavoured to show that everything which science or art could devise, or money command, had been made tributary to this object, and that, not merely in improved methods of cultivating the soil and the introduction of new and improved implements and machinery, but also in the breeding, feeding, and housing of cattle in dry, clean, well-ventilated buildings, at the same time I pointed to the fact that while all these gigantic efforts were called forth in that direction, com paratively little had been done to improve the well-being of the labourer, and specially as regards cottage accommoda tion. These observations, I believe, are just as true now as they were two years since, and, feeling a deep interest in the question, I have employed competent persons to visit every town and village in the Faringdon Union, to obtain exact information as to the accommodation and number of inmates in every cottage in the Union ; that information I hold in my hand, but as it is too minute, circumstantial, and voluminous to lay before this meeting I have made a digest of the leading features, which, with permission, I will read to you : " DIGEST. " Woolstone—Man and wife, two grown-up sons, and an illegitimate child of the daughter, all sleep in one room ; man and wife, with a son and two daughters, sleep in one room ; two married couples and a child sleep in one room ; man and wife, with daughter and two sons, sleep in one room. " Watchfield—A father and three daughters sleep in one room on ground floor ; seven persons, in a two-roomed cot tage, of whom two are lodgers, sleeping in the pantry ; a father sleeping with his daughter, 17 years of age, and the wife in another bed. " Shrivenham—Six cottages, having 35 inmates sleeping in six bedrooms, some of them grown-up sons and daughters only one privy for the whole, and that in a bad state. " Longeot.—Man and wife with a child, one widower, and one single woman with a child, making six persons sleeping in ene room ; two daughters, each with an illegi mate child, a son, aged 20, cohabiting with a woman, and four other persons, making 10 in one room, with two beds. " Fernham.—Eleven persons sleeping in two bedrooms, both on the ground floor ; seven persons ditto ; ten persons ditto; son and daughter, over 16 years of age, with two other persons, sleeping in one room; three sons' and a daughterand two younger children, with father and mother, sleeping in a room 8 feet by 12 feet; two single men lodg ing with a man and wife, with four children, making eight persons sleeping in one room; two brothers and two sisters, above 16 years of age, with father, mother, and four chil dren, making 10 persons sleeping in one room. " Littleworth.—Man and wife, with grown up son, five children, and four lodgers, making 12 persons sleeping in two rooms. "Faringdon.—Sixteen cottages in Red-row: this is stated to be the most wretched place the reporter ever saw. Nine cottages lately indicted for a nuisance, but still very bad. In one cottage the drain flows into the sitting-room ; and in another the drain at front door is offensive. Three cottages are badly off for water. Several cottages in a bad state of drainage. "Lechlade.—A man and wife, with a female lodger and five children, sleeping ' pell mall" together. " Buckland.--A man and wife, with two grown-up girls and two other children, all sleeping in one room; a man and wife with four children, including a grown-up girl, all sleep in one small room ; a widow with grown-up son and daughter, and a lodger, - all sleep in one room ; a woman slept for a long time with a son aged 24. " Langford.—The cottages are very old, but the occu pants live with some regard to decency. I have not seen any place, says the reporter, where the unmarried men sleep with the women. " Longworth.—Most of the cottages in this village are very old, some of them scarcely fit to live in. (Said to be ecclesiastical property.) " Duxford.—Ten cottages in a most wretched state, and ought to be taken down. " Kingston Lisle.—Most of the cottages have only ono small bedroom, yet the families are large, and the majority take lodgers. Example—Man and wife with five child ren and two men and three women lodgers, making sleeping in one room. d aug hter and " Balking.—Man and wife with grown-up 12 persns son, and four illegitimate children of daughter, all sleep in one small room.

Four wretched tenements with only ens Sleeping CATTLE SHOW WEEK 1 I I R OYAL ALHAMBRA PALACE MUSIC HALL, LEICESTER SQUARE. Proprietor. Ma. E. T. SMITH. In announcing the Opening of this Grand Establishment, Mr. E. T. 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. SMITH further challenges the Musical Army to point out one Volunteer who has made more rapid strides towards advancing the taste for Music than himself. He has provided for the million, at the lowest prices of admission, the grAndest Operas, English and Italian, illustrated by the most accom plished artists ; in a word, he has broken up that inharmoni ou. monopoly which shut out high-class compositions not only from the humbler, but from the middle et RBBOB 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 place of enter tainment ; and, with emphasis, he directs attention to the OPENING NIGHT, THIS EVENING, DEC. 10, At Seven o'clock precisely. The Musical Direction is confided to Mr. J, IL 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, 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 earried 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. Denson and Sons. The decorations by Mr. Hurwitz, of Southampton-street, Strand. 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.

LA'MERT on the Treatment and cure of NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, resulting from pernicious habits contracted in Youth, excesses in Man hood, or residence in Tropical Climates. 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 dilly qualified and legally registered Practitioner who for 20 years has made the Diseases wising usually from Tnaprudence 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 analogo us i n r ea lity. The mischief may arise in nocently, from deleterious influences devolved from the necessities of position—from circumstances which occurred years before the sufferers were born, from accident or the in fluence of tropical climates, but chiefly from Self-incurred Afflictions, dating back, in too numerous instances, to a period long 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 almost ignored the morbid affections comprised under the general designation " Nervous and Physical Debility," though these affections are probably more destructive and widely pre valent than any others. The consequence of so important a department of patholo g y being neglected is, that sufferers from th e infirmities in question, virtually repelled from consultation with prac titioners of standing and character, are thus liable to fall i n t o the hands of unqualified Enipirics, sometimes assumi ng titl es o f rhySiCiallS and Surgeons, whose names are not to be fo un d in the Medical Register (whereby they incur serious legal penalties), whose ignorant meddling with the treatment of t h es e 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 prac tised science cann o t full y realise long-deferred hopes, remove all causes of mutual reproach, and replace c hronic embitterment b y permanent c ontent.

HENRY Tucian, Magistrate for the county of Berks. DUELLING IN RUSSIA. A letter of Nov. 20, dated from Stavropol (in the province of Cis-Caucasus), addressed to the Gazette des Tribunaux, says : " A duel has just been fought between two young lieutenants of the Russian army of the Cau casus, Prince de Gortschakoff and Baron de Fit-1 tinghof. The weapons chosen were pistols, and it was agreed that the combatants, after bug placed in position, should be blindfolded, and that then the word " fire" should be given by one of the three witnesses, to be chosen by lot. The parties fired simultaneously. Prince de Gortschakoff was not touched, but the Baron de Fittinghof fell dead, with a ball through his heart. The prince and the three witnesses, M. de Schack, lieutenant; de Nippa, sub-lieutenant; and Chomontow, a major on the staff, were arrested and brought to a court-martial at Stavropol. The public pro secutor called for a rigorous application of the new law which has had a most whole3ome effect in checking the practice of duelling, till lately so frightfully prevalent ii the Russian army. Ac cording to this law officers who fight duels are liable to be deprived of their commissions, their decorations, and all rights and privileges of nobility, and moreover to eight years' imprisonment in a fortress ; non-commissioned officers and soldiers are subjected to very severe corporal punishments. In this case the court-martial, taking into consi deration that Prince de Gortschakoff had distin guished himself by his courage in several battles, as was proved by his many scars, that MM. de Schack and de Nippa were very young (under 19), and that the former, having been born and brought up in Germany, might possibly not have been entirely aware of the extreme severity of the Rus sian law with regard to duels, and that M. Cho montow had before the combat made the most praiseworthy efforts to prevent it from taking place, and had only consented to be a witness in the hope of effecting a reconciliation—was of opinion that the extreme rigour of the law should be modified by the exercise of their discretionary power. Accordingly they only sentenced Prince de Gortschakoff and Lieutenants de Schack and de Nippa to be deprived of their military rank and decorations, and to serve in the army as private soldiers, until by some brilliant service they should deserve to have the attention of the Emperor called to their case. As to M. Chomontow, he was only sentenced to six months' imprisonment in the case mates of a fortress." THE TOM SAYERS' ANNUITY FUND. The subscriptions forwarded to us for the ex champion, in token of the estimation in which he is held by the public generally for the indomitable courage displayed in his last pugilistic encounter, were on Tuesday last handed over to us by the gentlemen who have kindly consented to act as trustees for Tom in the matter, and lay out the money to the best advantage for Sayers during his lifetime, and his children after him. The money, which amounts to the extraordinary sum of X 2,814, will be so secured that it cannot be touched by Tom's creditors, should he be so imprudeut as to get him self involved, neither will To himself be able to assign away or anticipate his income. It is, more over, expressly provided that in the event of his again entering the ring the trustees shall at once devote the whole amount to the interests of his children, so that it will be seen all future challenges will be utterly useless, and at this no one will rejoice more than we do ourselves. Tom Sayers, by his exploits in the P.R., even had the " Great International Prize Fight," so called, been omitted, had already done quite enough for glory without seeking further honours in a field better left to younger and fresher men than himself. Such a collection raised and forwarded to one journal for such an object, is without parallel in the history of the press. The Times, during the Crimean war, received upwards of £20,000 for our brave but suf fering soldiers ; and not twe years ago the same journal, after its appeal for the Field-lane and other refuges, raised something like £B,OOO. One of these subscriptions was for a neglected and decimated army, the other for the succour of th e most wretchedly destitute of our fellow-creatures in this metropolis. The present case, however, is widely different. The £2,814 representq e the voluntary offerings of all classes of society—from the peer to the journey man baker, and even the costermonger—to one individual, and he a member of the Prize Ring ! No stronger proof we think could have been exhibited by our countrymen at home and abroad, for scarcely one of our widedly-scattered colonies has not sent its contribution—of their appreciation of all that is manly and enduring, than the above munificent subscription; and as this is probably the last time that we shall have to allude to what was termed the international mill, some slight recapitu lation of the points which earned for Sayers this testimonial may not be out of place. Here.was a man past the prime of life, not less than five inches shorter, and a stone and a half lighter than his gigantic opponent that opponent having won the toss, took, as he was doubtless entitled to do, the higher ground, and for more than half the time the contest lasted maintained the defensive in his own corner, so that Tom had to go to him and fight up-hill, thereby giving away at least another two inches. Tom lost the use of his right arm almost at the commencement of the battle, and yet continued to face his man with most unflinching bravery for upwards of two hours •, and, moreover, with his one hand, to inflict such punishment as none but the very gamest of the game would have taken without crying " a go." As to what the result might have been had not the ring been broken in when the police arrived, and when the American was endeavouriug to strangle Tom on the ropes, it is =ekes now to speculate. Our own opinion has been freely given more than once, and that it may go forth to the World mice again, and for the last time, we here beg to repeat it ; it is that, had the ring not been broken in at the time it was, and the referee forced from his position, ho must have awarded the battle to Tom, as in the very round when the disturbance occurred Sayers twice reached the ground with his knees while held by the neck, and was on each occasion deliberately lifted off again and held by his opponent, each of which acts was deliberately foul, and mus_ e t have been so decided had it been seen by_atube referee. Had this strangling not taken pl. ; there is not ' the most remote doubt on the wad of any just and impartial man that two orethtruee rounds must have reduced the et we umtot tee e r h have darkness. In taking leave of displayedth eYsau l n e k l ee k only to say that the science and nwlyougldr have atified by Tom Sayers on this occas i ou r "btp u o t the vanity of his country fallen fortunes of the done more to restore h Ring, had Tom's less t fortunatee compeers chosen to in the right way, than any Unfortunately, ' however, have taken of modern t imes. this has not been the case, if the members and occurrences,m,s of hve the taken place s ince v P.R. do no t stick together, will cause the Ring to be numbered a mongst the customs of th e past, an d r ender such an exhibition of pluck, endurance, and sc i enc e as the fight at Farnborough an impossibility . This mill was free l y disc u s sed, not only in all the circles of this country, but all over the Continent of EUrOpe, and it was obvious, from remarks that have come to our ears, that it was everywhere felt that so long as such proofs of iron will, endurance, and coolness were exhibited by British boxers there was little chance of the decadence of those quali ties which have for centuries rendered us the envy and the admiration of other nations.—Bell's Life. The Treasury have decided, says the Army and Navy Gazette, to issue the Delhi and Lucknow prize -money according to the Crimean scale, instead of on the Indian scale, as was expected.

The Firebrand, 6, paddle, Commander J. M..' Bruce, sailed from Spithead on Saturday morning by the Needles passage, for the West Indies. The Geyser, 6, paddle, Commander G. M.

The cylinders now on board have been in a very defective state the whole period of the ship's commission, but, nevertheless, the ship has gone over upwards of 80,000 miles with them since Capt. Seccombe has commanded her, Some interesting experiments have been made at Spithead from the Traveller gunboat, under' the supervision of Capt. Sir L. M'Clintock, w ith two new sounding instruments from her Majesty's ship.) Bulldog. The first instrument is the one invented" by Mr. Steil, assist.-engineer of the Bulldog, and used repeatedly on board that vessel during her recent expedition to the coast of Labrador. A de scription of this instrument appeared in the The Sun of Thursday last. Its weight is 241 b., and it has always answered admirably in both deep and shallow water. In deep water sling shot can be attached to it, which detach themselves on reaching the bottom. The other instrument is only for deep water, for which it is specially intended. It is named by Sir L. M'Clintoek. "the Bulldog ma chine," as it owes its existence to the experience obtained in that ship. It consists of two parts — a detaching cylindrical weight, and a pair of hemispherical scoops, of the same nature as Mr. Steil's, but larger, which, until the instru ment has reached the bottom, are kept open by' the detaching cylindrical weight above them. On reaching the bottom the weight is de detached and the scoops closed by a stout india rubber band. The application of this indiarubber band is due to Dr. Wallich, the naturalist of the late expedition, and experience has proved that it retains its retractile force undiminished as far down as 2,000 fathoms. It is expected that a new instru ment now making in the dockyard on this plan will only weigh 101 b empty, notreckoning the detaching weight, and 141 b when filled with sand or mud. The experiments with both were highly successful. The Amethyst, 26, Captain S. Grenfell, from the Pacific station, will, on being paid off' at Chatham, be placed in the reserve ordinary at that port. The Myrmidon, 4, one of the new class of screw despatch gunvessels now building at Chatham, seve ral of which are in progress at the other yards, was commenced being planked on Saturday, the utmost despatch being used in completing her. Vice-Admiral Sir W. H. Stewart, K.C.8., struck' his flag as Port Admiral on board the Impregnable, 104, Captain Lord F. H. Kerr, at Plymouth on Friday evening. His duty during his absence devolves on Rear-Admiral Sir T. S. Pasley, Admi ral-Superintendent of the Devonport dockyard. The screw gun vessel Nimble, 5, was taken out side Plymouth Breakwater under steam on Satux day, to prove her machinery, the previous trial not having given entire satisfaction. The screw gun boat speedy was taken from Hamoaze into the Sound on Saturday to try her engines. Both re turned to Hamoaze. The shipwrights in Devonport dockyard are pre paring the frame of the African, which will be laid down in No. 2 slip, where the Petrel, 11, was re cently launched. The paybooks of the screw line-of-battle ship Hero, 91, Commodore G. H. Seymour, at Plymouth h:ve been returned from the Admiralty, and the crew will probably receive their wages early in the week. Commander J. Brown, Master-Attenduni- of Devonport Dockyard, returned to his duty there from Portsmouth on Saturday. Steam was got up on Saturday on board the gun boat Porpoise, tender to the Royal Albert, 121, and she went from Hamoazo into Barn Pool, Plymouth, where she took on board her powder. She is now ready to attend the Royal Albert on her arrival with the fleet, which is shortly expected. The screw steamship Howe, 121, was hauled on Saturday under the sheers in Keyham-basin to have her propelling apparatus lifted. The coppering of the new screw steam frigate Liverpool, 51, at Devonport, was completed on Saturday ; she will probably vacate dock No. 3 early this week: when the Flying Fish will go on. Mr. Robert B. Nicholson aid Mr. Wm. Hawks ley were on Saturday appointed as acting third class assistant engineers to the Asia as supernu meraries. TBE ARMY. In accordance with the directions of the Secre tary of State for War, the principal instructors of musketry of the three battalions of infantry, the corps of Royal and Indian Engineers, and the battalion of Royal Marines at Chatham, have made a survey of the large tract of land recently taken possession of by the Government on the banks of the Thames between Gravesend and Rochester, to be used as rifle range practising grounds for the troops of that garrison, the pre sent rifle range near St. Mary's Creek, used in com mon by the troops of the line, the Royal Engineers, the Royal Marines, and the several Volunteer corps at Chatham, being required by the Admiralty for the intended enlargement of Chatham dockyard. The report made to the authorities by the office r ! directed to survey the new district of marsh land 15 believed to be very favourable. SORB THROAT.

Dr. Bouchardat allows that he has declares that opportunity of trying it in diptheria, but he has witnessed its prompt sad beneficial effects in vari ous cases of inflammation of the throat, as also •in chronic herpes situated in the pharynx. It is equally useful in cases of extinction of the voice, and more powerful than Berinati's alum gargle. Ozena has been cured by this solution in the course of a few days by making the patient snuff up into his nose, at proper intervals, a teaspoonful of it diluted with a tumblerful of water. It is also useful in the treatment of foetid sores generally ; after a few applications the bad smell disappears. As a general astringent, it may be con veniently and efficaciously used in many affections which we need not mention more particularly ; and as a hums tatic remedy it may be recommended in all those cases in which the ligature of the artery is not called for. In such cases i t ma y be either applied with a brush, or pledgets h a nipped into it and app lied to the wound. may __ -- ___ THE QUARTERMASTER- GEN ERAL.—Sir Richard Airey's period of s ervice as Quartermaster-General at head -quarters e xpired on the 2d of this month.
