ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRIICEA ; with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De bility of the Generative system, or Sexual ITypochrondriasis. Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. " Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct. —London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of un9ualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing , with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. " We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one Interested in the matter."— Dublin Medical Press.

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 L iiLa_ti e nent, he can be re-invigorated, and his health re-esta h d to a degree almost warranting the designation of SECOND LIFE. _ _ Published by Dlann, 39 Cornhill, and of all Booksellers, GLENFIEL P D ATENT STARCH, USED IN THE ROYAL LAUNDRY, AND PRONOUNCED DY lIER MAJESTY'S LAUNDRESS to be THE FINEST STARCH SHE EVER USED.

The writer of a letter, dated 'Turin, May 14 says :-- I very recently had a long and interesting con versation with a highly intelligent and unprejudiced French officer, certainly a most favourable speci men of the body to which he belongs, and who, in the confidence of a tete-a-tete, gave his opinion with great frankness on various subjects of interest at the present moment. He declared his con viction that the war would be limited to the expulsion of the Austrians from Italy, and said, as his reason for this belief, that the French nation would not stand a long war. The idea of the pre sent contest, he added, had been highly unpopular in France until Austria sent her ultimatum to Sar dinia. But for that false step, he believed the French Emperor would not have ventured to make war, knowing how averse from it was the people he ruled. The ultimatum, however, had changed the feelings of many in that respect. It had been looked upon as a sort of defiance, if not an insult to Napoleon and the people, who had placed him in his high position, resented the affront to the work of their hands. The Emperor, more over, owed something to the army, which had ever shown itself faithful to him. He owed them the soldier's dearest reward—action, namely, and an opportunity of distinction and promo tion. This would be afforded by a six months' campaign against Austria, which my inter locutor, although no Gascon, evidently thought would suffice to accomplish the work in hand, and achieve the independence of Italy. Another of the Emperor's stimulants to war was, he believed, a desire of military renown, as a means of consoli dating his throne and his dynasty. He has already, said my military acquaintance, shown himself a most able politician and statesman—let him prove himself also a great commander, and his position is secure inFrance. If, on the other hand, he should fail—if disasters instead of triumphs await him— naa said the speaker, with a significant shrug, it will be very unfortunate for him. While discussing the Emperor's character and qualities, his skill in availing himself of every advantage and means of popularity came upon the tapis, and in proof of it the following circumstances were adduced. After the reserve of the army was recently called out in France, it was discovered that the whole of it was not required, and accordingly a large number of soldiers, married men, and men who had only three or four months to serve, were allowed to return to their homes. In the army, or at least by those military men who are in the habit of looking a little further than the point of their sword, thi s was appreciated as a most judicious move. The Govern ment knew perfectly well beforehand what men would be required, and might have at once signified the exemptions afterwards made. But the Emperor preferred having all called out, and then, when there was lamentation in the land, he suddenly re stored those who could least be spared. "In the town (a large provincial city) where I was in gar rison," said the officer, " about 300 men thus came back to families and friends who had bid them fare well with heavy doubts whether they should ever see them again. You should have seen the joy and heard the blessings on the Emperor, and you would have judged, as I do, that by that single move, seemingly unimportant,, and which would pass un noticed elsewhere than on the spot, he wou no des picable amount of popularity." I had been told at Genoa, a very few days before, that an idea pre vailed among the French that the war with Austria was but a prelude to one with England, but the officer whose ideas I have quoted was evidently not of that opinion. He thought that if England would leave the Emperor alone, and allow him to fulfil his self-allotted task of ridding Italy of the Austrians he would then be extremely glad to revert to a state of peace, and, indeed, that it would be perilous to himself to attempt a war of conquest and aggrandisement, for which France has now no taste or desire. My acquaint ance had seen a good deal of service, and had been through the whole Crimean campaign, not without wounds and honours, and he expressed himself frankly, but very . fairly, about the English army, stigmatising as" ignoble" the null-administration at the commencement of the war, blaming the plan of giving the soldiers money in a place where nothing but drink was procurable for it, instead of taking means to supply them with nourishing food, and seeing that they ate it, and did not make away with it—bartering it for spirits, as he said ho had often known them to do in the Crimea. While thus criti cising the faults of our system, he did full justice to the merits of our soldiers, and he made one re mark which, although it has nothing to do with the circumstances of the present time, struck me so much as to induce me to repeat it here. " The English troops," he said, " are incomparable for tenacity of resistance. I was convinced of that at Inliermann, when the enemy were literally among their tents, and when they defended themselves to the death, some of them with no better weapons than picks and shovels. Our men would not have done what the English did there. They would have given way. But, if you have that great military virtue, you have also one grievous military defect, which costs you many men and some reverses. You are too slow in attack. You march up at a steady pace and in perfect order while the enemy thins your ranks. You give them time to reload, which it is our principle never to do. I believe that to have been the cause of your repulse at the Redan, but, whether it was so or not, that defect in your system of attack is one which we French are all agreed about, and which you cannot too soon amend." These remarks, proceeding from an ex perienced French officer, who had learnt to respect our army while fighting by its side, appear to me well worthy of attention. The main and guiding principles of French officers appear to be to render the men under their orders intelligent, self-reliant, and individually able to help themselves under all emergencies, and to obtain rapidity of rnoveme . nt in these masse objects j eAnd that itis e t nd he e is the constant ' Ir c a n t ; fi s t : soldier e rP paid ex cellento a campaigner and so formidable an oppo nent. THAMES GRITTING DbCK COMPANY. The report of the directors states that they are able to announce the successful completion of the undertaking for which the company was formed in April, 1857, and that Mr. Edwin Clark's patent machinery and arrangements have fully realised the expectations entertained of their efficiency. Up to the end of last month eight ships, varying in burden from 500 to 1,800 tons, of wood and iron, sailing ships, paddlewheel, and screw steamers, have been raised, floated, examined, and repaired, with a degree of celerity, security, and ease utterly unknown under the old system of graving docks. The pontoon recently launched has been employed in raising and floating several ships, and fully answers all the uses for which it was intended. Another will shortly be launched, and four more are in course of construction. During their experi• mental operations the directors experienced the want of a permanent establishment in the docks, ready to repair the ships sent to them to be lifted and examined. They have met this difficulty by letting one slip and the one available pontoon to the shipbuilding firm of Messrs. W. Rose and Co., of Wapping. From the success that has hitherto attended all the operations no difficulty is appre hended in placing the unallotted shares. When that is done the whole capital of the company will amount to £140,000, for which there will have been provided the docks and six pontoons, with machinery capable of working, if necessary, at least double that number. The directors propose to take powers to convert the shares from their present denomination of £l,OOO each into stock, and to increase the capital of the company by converting all or any part of the debentures into shares. The report of Mr. E. Clark, the engineer, states that the works are now in a complete state in every respect • the capstans are all fixtehde, l a i n ft d . a temporary office has been erected n ear The experimental pontoon has been ussteedm,arntdessptaetinhgtde. practically the working of the sy result has been most satisfactory in hal Itoi ever timber, screw docks Ten vessels have been raised and r e ep e a ry ire l d e ,ne t m h a a n t y pu o r f po th se e . m T fl h o i a s tedinto the s number includesand paddle steamers of various descri e pt a io m n ic s no , en v dt a e r bm y y - - vary ing in weight from 500 to 1,800 tons.

The deaths registered in London, which were 1,207 in the l as t wee k o f A pr il , and 1,108 in the first week in May, show a further decrease for the week ending last Saturday, when they were 1,070. In the ten years 1849-68 the average number of deaths in the week corresponding with last week was 1,051 ; but as the deaths that are returned for the last week occurred in a population which has increased, they can only be compared with the average raised in proportion to that increase —viz., with 1,156. From these figures it appears that the deaths that occurred last week were less by 86 than the number that would have occurred if the average rate of mortality for the second week of May had prevailed. From zymotic diseases in the aggregate 214 deaths occurred last week ; the average corrected for increase of population is 257. The deaths re ferred to phthisis or consumption number 163 ; the corrected average is 157. Those referred to other pulmonary complaints are 154, the average beino. 192. Smallpo x carr i e d o ff 18 persons. Th e d ea th s from scarlatina and diphtheria together declined from 69 in the previous week to 60 last week. Thirteen cases in which diphtheria is recorded as the fatal disease occurred as follows :—One at 2, Brompton-place, Brompton, one at 1, Clara-cottag es , Hammersmith, on e a t 21, Lillington-street, West minster, one at 19, Durham-terrace, Agar town, one at 17A, Ann's-place, Hackney-road, one at 28, Backchurch-lane, Goodman's-fields (where two other deaths have occurred within seven days from scar latina maiigna, and where there is a large accumu lation of dung, frequently smelling offensively, near the back of the house), one at 13, Royal Mint, Aldgate, one at 5, Lemon-street, St. Saviour, one at 12, Vine-terrace, Lambeth, one at 8, Moor-place, Lambeth, one at 7, Cumberland-row, Kenni ng t on , one at Fernside, Wandsworth-common, and one at 1, Dennett-terrace, Queen's-road, Deptford. Two boys, aged respectively three and six years, and a girl, aged eight years, the children of a journeyman blacksmith, died all on the 7th inst., in Brewhouse-lane, Putney, from "typhus following measles." Another child died also in the same family very recently. The typhoid symptoms were well marked in three of the four cases, and set in some days after the children had apparently reco vered from measles. The house occupied by the family' is in a most unsatisfactory state, from defective drainage and other causes. A woman, aged 82 years, died at 25, Goulston court, Whitechapel, from want of food and from exposure to the night air. Last week the birtks of 993 boys and 823 girls, in all 1,816 children, were registered in London. In the 10 corresponding weeks of the years 1849-58 the average number was 1,593. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 30.024 in. The mean daily reading was above 30 in. on four days of the week. The extreme barometrical varia tion was from 29.86 in. to 30.13 in. The mean temperature of the week was 51.2 deg., which is 0.3 deg. below the average of the same week in 43 years, as determined by Mr. Glaisher. The lowest temperature was 38 . 0 deg. on Monday ; the highest 67.5 deg. on Wednesday. The entire range of the thermometer in the shade was therefore 29.5 deg. The mean daily range was 224 deg. The difference between the mean dew temperature and air temperature was 7.5 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 76. The mean temperature of the water of the Thames was 53.8 deg. deg. The wind blew almost constantly from the north-east. No rain fell except on Sunday, when the amount was 0.30 inches. THE AUSTRIAN ARMY IN PIEDMONT. (Fyom the Special Correspondent of the Times.) AUSTRIAN HEADQUARTERS, MORTA.RA, May 10. Your correspondent at Vienna has probably kept you informed of those movements of this army which are of sufficient importance to be communi cated by telegraph. I. will, however, recapitulate briefly what has been done since the beginning, as telegraphic despatches are not famous for either extreme accuracy, or even for consistency one with another. The first Austrian traops crossed the Ticino on the 29th of April, five days after the French had passed the western frontier of Sardinia. This delay, as you know, was in deference to the wish of the British Cabinet. A brigade of the sth Corps, under General Fes teties, had the honour of leading the way. It crossed at Pavia, and pushed on the same day through Garlasco to the Terdoppio river, followed by the entire 3d Corps, under Prince Schwarzenberg, to Gropello. The 7th Corps, upon Baron Zobel, had come up from Bergamo and Brescia to Rho, intending to cross the Ticino further north, then made a demon. stration at Buffalora, and then turned southward through Abbiate Grosso towards the bridge at Vige vano, which, however, it found blown up. It was therefore obliged to cross at Bereguardo. on a pon toon bridge constructed by the Engineers. This it did on the 29th, reaching Gambolo the same day. On the following day, the 30th, the sth Corps, under Count Stadion, passed the same-bridge, and the Bth Corps, under the renowned General Bene dek, crossed at Pavia ; the 7th pushing on to Mor tara, mid the 3d to Garlasco. On the Ist of May the 2d Corps, under Prince Lichtenstein, crossed at Pavia, so that it took three days for the whole five corps d'armee to cross the Ticino. On the night of the Ist of May the line extended along the Agogna river from Vespola on the north to San Nazzaro, and thence to the eastwa r d a l ong ' the Po • the 3d Corps still keeping the cen t re , w ith the sth and 7th on its right, and the Bth and 2d on its left. This relative position having been kept until now, I need not detail the marches, but will briefly say that the line was gradually advanced and extended in this order until the day barn • •yesterday, the Bth, when the headquarters of the Commander-in-Chief, General Gyulai, were at Vercelli, and the whole country north of the Po as far as Biella and Craglia on the north- west, and the Dora Baltea on the west, was occupied by the Austrians almost without opposition. The Pied montese dug trenches across and otherwise njured the roads, and placed batteries to defend them, but did not lo so. At Vercelli they mined the magni ficent railway bridge acress the Sesia, but the Austrians discovered and withdrew the gunpowder. This non-resistance is very remarkable, for the nature of the country is such that the advance of an army can be most easily impeded. The roads are in most cases artificially raised, the fields on each side being dead flat and kept under water for the cultivation of rice, besides which, numerous canals at several different levels cross each other in every conceivable way. . The chief opposition occurred at Valenzia, where there were two fine bridges across the Po. The one the Piedmontese had themselves destroyed, and the other the Austrians determined to destroy for them ; so, on the 3d and 4th they made great demonstra tions as if to cross the river, both there and opposite Frassinetto, and succeeded in mining the bridge. On- the 4th also General Benedek, the enemy's attention being drawn to the abovenamed points, succeeded in crossing the Po at Cornale, with 40,000 men, on a bridge constructed by the Engi neers, a corps which in Austria has reached a wonderful degree of efficiency. He pushed on to Voghera and reconnoitred Tortona with a powerful detachment. In retiring he blew up the railway bridge of Pontecurone, which must be a serious blow to the allies. In the night of the 4th to the sth the Po rose 15 feet, and destroyed General Benedek's bridge over the Po. thus isolating him entirely. In 24 hours, however, another bridge was constructed, over which he retired on the 6th, carrying off vast stores of bread, tobacco, salt, rice, meal, corn, hay, &c., from Voghera. At Valenza the unparalleled rise of the Po filled the first mines formed, and it was not till the Bth of May that the bridge was destroyed. At Frassi netto the intended deception was completely suc cessful. Quantities of boards, &c., were ordered with great ostentation at Can dia, and some hundreds of labourers. On the 3d of May some Lancers led the way across a ford of the Sesia to an island between that river and the Po. Four companies of Grenadiers followed and half a rocket battery, the whole under Colonel Puchner. The island is thickly covered with brushwood, so the smallness of their number was concealed from the enemy, who opened a heavy fire from the southern bank of the Po. This was answered by the rocket battery and the Grenadiers, who extended themselves along the bank. As the Piedmontese fancy they did much mischief that day, a few accurate figures may be useful. The Austrians lost on the 3d, before mid night, one man killed and eight wounded; of the latter, one has since died. At night Captain Dwyer, an Irishman, led over another battalion to the island, and a noise of hammering was kept up till morning, as if bridges for the passage of a large army were being constructed. During the entire night the loss to the Austrians was only three men wounded. Here, too, the rapid rise of the Sesia, which took place a few hours before that of the Po, nearly caused a loss, but happily the whole force was withdrawn in safety, owing to the voluntary exertions of the Piedmontese labourers, who saved many drowning men. This circumstance clearly proves how untrue are the statements made about the animosity of the Italians against the Austrians. I have myself been only three days in Piedmont on this occasion, but I have already ridden 140 miles, and stopped at nearly every village, and to an Englishman the natives would not conceal their feelings. I can assure you that their anger is all against their own Government, not for this war merely, but for the whole policy of overload ing them with taxes, such as our exploded window tax and a tax on carriages, for the purpose of keeping up an army beyond the wants of the country. I speak of the peasantry. The burghers and lawyers may think differently. Yesterday most of the troops were withdrawn to the east_ of the Sesia, and the head quarters moved to Mortara this morning. Not knowing that, I rode to Vercelli, and had to return. The Piedmontese reconnoitred Vercelli in the afternoon, and some skirmishing took place, but to the west of the town. The timing of the reconnaisance proves how well informed the Ver celli people kept their friends of the Austrian movements. The head men of Vercelli were equally aware of the approaching reconnaissance, and threw every possible difficulty in the way of finding horses and carts for the transport of bag gage, forage, &c., for the troops, hoping to cause a delay. The Austrians bore this very patiently. I must postpone till to-morrow or next day some anecdotes of the campaign. One, however, I must relate now, to prove to you how little the Piedmontese people like this war. When the Austrians arrived at a certain town, which I must not name, the inhabitants reproached them much for not coming a fortnight sooner. Ex pecting them, they said, they had made every ex cuse to delay providing their quota of the reserve of the army, and had the Austrians arrived they might have escaped sending at all. By the way, the Piedmontese have carried off nearly all the horses and provisions from this part of the country. At St ro ppiana they even carried off th e women to work at Casale. The Austrians sent provisions for the starving inhabitants left there.

TILE WRECK OF THE POMONA. The following incidents connected with the wreck of the ill-fated American ship Pomona are supplied by the Wexford Constitution :—" On Sa turday last a steamtug and lighters arrived here from Liverpool with the necessary diving apparatus for the purpose of saving a portion of the cargo from the wreck of the Pomona at the Blackwater Bank. They commenced proceedings on Tuesday,the divers first clearing away the rigging, &c., impeding access to the hatchways. Since then they have been successfully engaged in bringing up various articles belonging to the ship. On Wedne:day morning the diver sent down came across three bodies, which he disentangled from the wreck, and they floated to the surface, but we are sorry to add, with a gross carelessness of the commonest rights of humanity, they were allowed to be washed out to sea, the only step taken by the crew of the tug being to tear off the pocket from one of the bodies (a female), as they said, in order to identify the body, which at the same time they were so reckless of preserving. The pocket was found to contain the sum of 6s. 6d. and a passenger's ticket, which showed the unfortunate deceased to have been a native of the county of Cork, named Mary O'Brien, aged 18. The above information having been con veyed by Capt. Newton, in charge for the owners, to Mr. Coghlan, the collector of customs, that gen tleman, with his usual p romp tit u d e an d vigilance, immediately despatched several tide waiters to the spot, to be at hand and secure all property belong ing to the unfortunate emigrants that might be brought up, and to see that proper respect was paid to their remains. On Thursday evening and yester day he also sent down several dozen 'coffins for the reception of the dead, which will be brought to Wexford, in order that a proper register may be kept of everything found upon them likely to lead to identification. A very large number of persons have written to the collector, forwarding particu lars respecting their relatives and friends who were on board the Pomona when she left Liverpool, almost every one of which mentioned that the de ceased had with them large sums of money—a further reason why every precaution should be taken to save and restore to their friends whatever may be found belonging to them. The body of the young man who was stated by some of the sailors to have been the son of Mrs. Paxton, it has since been ascertained was that of the steward, named Blair, the remains of Mrs. Paxton's son, a youth of 16, not having been found. From a letter received from Liverpool, it would appear that Mrs. Paxton had only two children with her, a son named William, and a da ug hte r , age d 13, named Ann. It is said that she had upwards of £lOO in her possession at the time she embarked, but there was only found in her pocket, when rescued from the hands of the depraved creature who stripped her body, about £5 and a letter of credit on a New York firm for 300 dols. (£64). In addition to this, however, there has been recovered a small box be longing to the unfortunate lady, containing, among other property, a quantity of silver plate, forming part of tea, dinner, and. dessert service. Her gold watch, having Thomas Paxton' engraved on the case, and a coral necklace, with the initials S. P.' on the silver snap, were found in her pocket. At the Oulart Petty Sessions, on Tuesday last, Ann Kirwin, the woman who stripped the body of Mrs. Paxton, tied Thomas Kirwin, her husband, both residing at Ballyconigar, near to Blackwater, were each sentenced to s i x months ' har d l a b our f or having in their possession p roperty b e l ong i ng to that lady, and which had been t a k en f rom h er b o dy while on the strand. Besides the a b ove th ese par ties are liable to a prosecution under a sec ti on o f the Merchant Shipping Act of 18.54, which imposes a penalty of £5O on offences of this nature, in addition to what- I ever other punishment may be imposed upon them," ' ,~Z- fe- 'D3 L ~~~ ) coal.

APER --' VOA, ) s 'l'll., —.' • _ ~ 'SP ( r THE NAVY. 141 11 S Captain Brown, R.N., Registrar-General of Sea men, has just returned from visiting the chief mer cantile ports of the north, with a view of -stimulat ing to the utmost the efforts which are now being t! made throughout the country to raid chlehn - died seamen for the Royal Navy. During .this tour Captain Brown, accompanied by Mr. Tribe, a - gentleman connected with his department, visited the ports of Liverpool, Glasgow, Greenock, Hull, Yarmouth, &c., and held conferences with the prin cipal shipowners and the authorities connected with the ports as to the steps necessary to be taken to encourage volunteering from the mercantile to , the Royal N avy. T hough the object of Captain Brown's mission w as a l most d i rectly opposed to the interests of the shipo wners, yet we are glad to say that, as a body, they unanimously responded to the appeal, and immediately consented to further the objects the Admiralty had in view by every means in their po,ver. The result of these combined efforts have been successful beyond all expectation, and already several thousands of fine ablebodied fellows have offered and have been accepted, and not the least doubt now remains that the whole number of 10,000 required for the navy will be completed in a very short time. The generosity and perfect dismissal of all private considerations displayed by the ship owners and others, who are, of course, to a certain extent injuriously affected by the withdrawal of men from their service, has been beyond all praise, and affords another proof of the sacrifices which all classes are prepared to make to secure the power and efficiency of its defences. The Admiralty were fortunate in their selection of Captain Brown for this duty, as, from the nature of his office as Regis trar-General of Seamen, he is of course, thoroughly informed upon the subject, while his long connec tion with the Royal Navy places him as a connect ing link between the two services. , The Emerald, 51, screw, Capt. Arthur Cumming, has arrived at Spithead from S'lgerness, attended by the Virago, 6, paddle, Com slander Montagu B. Dnnn, to be completed at Portsmouth. The Melampus, old 42-gun sailing frigate, has been placed in No. 1 dock at Portsmouth to repair defects, and afterwards to relieve Tortoise, 12, at Ascension. The screw steamer Wasp, 13, has been docked in No. 1 Dock at Chatham, for the purpose of being brought forward for sea. The shipwrights and mechanics are busily em ployed on the Amphion, 36, steam-frigate, in dock at Chatham, and are working at unlimited wages from five o'clock in the morning until dark, in order to complete her with all possible despatch. She is very nearly finished, and w ill b e s h ort l y un d oc k e d . The paddlewheel steam store vessel Rhadaman thus, 4, Master F. R. Sturdee, from Woolwich, arrived at Plymouth on Saturday, with machinery and boilers for the screw steamship Sanspareil, 70. The lighter, Rochester, Master E. Heather, from Pembroke, arrived at Plymouth on Monday. The gunboat Skipjack, Lieut. J. Murray, sailed from Plymouth on Monday for the West Indies. The screw steamship London, 90, Master G. L. Car, was commissioned at Plymouth on Monday by Commander Wilmshurst. Orders have just been received in Devonport Dockyard to enter 60 ropemakers and 20 house boys ; 15 shipwrights were entered on Monday, and there are yet vacancies for 120. The screw steamship Exmouth, 90, Captain J. Stopford, steamed from Hamoaze on Monday into Plymouth Sound, in charge of Mr. Paul, Assistant Master Attendant. Her Majesty's screw steamship Hero, 91, arrived in Portland harbour on Saturday night from Ports mouth. The Rolla, 8 (naval apprentices' brig), Lieut.-Com. Nelson, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday from the westward. The Sealark, 8 (tender to the Britannia), Lieut. Corn. M. Lowther, sailed from Portsmouth for the westward. The Meander, 44, sailing frigate, at Portsmouth (fitting out for service at Ascension), was docked yesterday in No. ,1 Dock at that port. The W. H. Chandler, convict ship, arrived at Spithead from Bermuda yesterday, with 105 con victs on board. She is last from Queenstown, where she landed upwards of 50. The Colossus, 80, screw steamship, steamed into Portsmouth harbour, from Spithead, at high water yesterday. The Virago paddle steamer, Commander M. Dunn, arrived at Spithead yesterday, with the Eurydice (future sea training ship for the naval cadets at Portsmouth), 26, sailing frigate, in tow, from Chat ham. The Vivid, 2, paddlewheel steamer, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday from the westward, and went alongside the Malabar coal depot to fill up The Melbourne, hired screw steam transport, at Portsmouth, embarked yesterday a portion of the ' troops' heavy baggage. The troops will embark on board her this day. Yesterday the East India troopship Hotspur, 1,142 tons, Commander Toynbey, which arrived at Gravesend on Monday night from Calcutta, dis embarked the sick and wounded troops brought home from India. Her dates are Calcutta, .Tan. 20; Sandheads, Jan. 22; Cape of Good Hope, March 24. The number of invalid and wounded troops who embarked at Calcutta was 76 men of all racks, belonging to the 2d (Queen's) Dragoon Guards, 6th Dragoon Guards (Carabineeers), 7th Hussars, 9th Lancers, sth Fusiliers, 19th, 23d Royal IN elsh Fusiliers, 32d Light Infantry, 37th, 38th, 54th, 60th Rifles, 77th, 79th Highlanders, and 97th Regiments, Rifle Brigade, and Royal Engineers, to ge th er w ith 7 women and 8 children, the whole under the com mand of Lieut. F. T. Greatrex, 73d Regiment, and Lieut. G. Scott, 24th Regiment, and in medical charge of Mr. Watson, civil surgeon. In conse quence of the easterly winds the voyage was pro tracted to 119 days. During . the passage three deaths occurred on board—viz., one man of the a ßo nd yal Engineers, oneofthe79 one of thHighla t u h d e er 3 s 2 . d g l h e t Inf reare a Infantry, still about 1,200 sick and wounded troops in India waiting to be forwarded to England. The experiments at Portsmouth from the screw gun boat Stork, tender to the gunnery ship, have resulted in the fact that the iron target fluted with compressed cotton is next to worthless. The old Undaunted, 42, sailing frigate, was as, we have before stated, moored up the Porchester Lake, having had the said iron target affixed amidships below her main deck ports. The Stork was placed about 400 yards distant, and in the course of half a dozen rounds the target was riddled and knocked to feces. The out-pensioners of the Plymouth district were inspected and classified on Friday last at Milbay barracks by the staff' officer Col. E. Trevor, Col. W. T. B. Mountstevens, and Col. H. Russell, Capt. A. W. Jerningham, gunnery ship Cambridge, and Capt. W. H. Stewart, flagship Impregnable, 104, assisted by the medical officers and clerks from dif ferent ships. The men, about 1,200, were divided into four classes—viz., sea service, harbour or coast duty, harbour duty only, and totally unfit. They were provided with cards which entitled them to certain emoluments every day they are called out on duty. Although occupied so much during his short visit to Plymouth, the Duke of Cambridge managed to drop in and witness the mode of in specting out-pensioners adopted in the Western district. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty:— Captain—Oliver J. Jones to the Furious, vice Osborne, superseded at his own request. Master—James S. Wells (additional), to the Fisgard, for the Bann. Paymaster—Thomas Pidcock, to the London. Clerk—F. A. Pountney to the Hannibal. Assistant-Paymaster—Edward S. M Power to the Agamemnon. Assistant-Surgeon—John IV. Belcher (acting) to the Agamemnon. Assistant-Clerk —W. H. L. W. Roberts, to the Fire brand. THE ARMY. In our article on Aldershott of the 16th we mis took the West York Rifles for the 3d West York Militia, which were in camp for so long a time. It is the formerregiment which is now stationed there. A detachment of the 4th battalion of the Rifle Brigade, consisting of 1 officer and 101 non-com missioned officers and men, have received orders to proceed to-morrow from Winchester to Portsmouth, for embarkation on board her Majesty's ship Hannibal, to join service companies at Malta. The 32d company of Royal Engineers arrived in Weymouth for the Channel Islands on Friday evening last, under the command of Capt. W. J. Stuart and Lieut C. A. L. Campbell. On Saturday morning they embarked on board the Cygnus, one of the Great Western steamboats, and proceeded to Alderney, where they will be employed in repairing the fortifications of that island. The 18th company of Royal Engineers, which has been some time under orders to be raised to its proper strength, arrived in Weymouth from Chatham on Monday afternoon, commanded by Capt. R. Haw thorne and Lieut. E. N. Peters. They will be em ployed in putting the line of coast in that neigh bourhood in a complete state of defence. Instructions have been sent to the staff of the South Devon Militia at Plymouth to enrol growing lads five feet high, and men up to 40 years of age, being an extension of six years beyond the previous regulation. go, Ord st- guy ieral 010 beg , !lar d ,11. i.. li ill )0 1 1' e a ;Lol- allea Asia Linty gil lige) Fitz sty'A rvio, zroFt rable ca ble .tbar y ieY, mb°. fAir 50s )s O 1 reek' dull, bel ) as° oat r) 311 ) 31° ) 32° ) 50 , 4 ---- ) rot is, ,-- ; 6 I I
