The fearful dangers to invalids from spurious imitations of DU BARRY's invaluable HEALTH-RESTORING REVA LENTA ARABICA FOOD led to an investigation, and, upon application in 1854 for protection, the High Court of Chancery granted an injunction restraining Alfred Hooper Nevill, and his agents, under a penalty of X 5,000, from selling any article resembling or being a colourable imitation of Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica, of which we are the sole pro prietors. Now, therefore, this is to give notice that the above reward will be paid, upon conviction, to anyone giving infor mation of any breach of the injunction.

Such a satisfactory truth should induce every unprejudiced person to try Holloway's Pills, which always produce the happiest results ; and by their purifying, strengthening, and corrective powers, can avert the majo rity of formidable diseases. All who wish to onjoy health should frequguti.7 Inuit their blood by this flue r,sedicius, " It is a rare, but always gratifying, circumstance when different nations join in the admiration of one great man, as has been the case with Alexander von Humboldt for many years i 4 an ever-increasing degree. In Great Britain, also, we believe that the idea will be welcomed of a living monument in the spirit of his own world-wide ac tivity. " Without a very general contribution, such a founda tton could not find a sphere of usefulness worthy of the name which it is to bear, nor supply any permanent re sources to those sciences which Humboldt specially culti vated. " The British Association for the Advancement of Science will meet at Aberdeen next month, under the pre sidency of your Royal Highness; and we trust that there also, with the feeling of deep regret for the loss of Hum boldt, a wish may be mingled that his contemporaries among all nations should join in a grateful memorial. " If it is not considered too presumptuous, we would therefore ask your Royal Highness to bring the prospectus of the 'Humboldt Foundation' to theknowledge of the Bri tish Association, and to excite the interest of its members in the subject. 'We shall send a sufficient number of copies• of the English prospectus to General Sabine, who has shown especial interest in the subject, to be distributed among the members of the association. It will at once do honour to Humboldt's memory, and extend the benefits of the foundation which bears his name, if numerous Bri • tish signatures should testify a participation in the feelings of grateful remembrance which have dictated the scheme of this memorial. " Signed on the part of the committee of the Humboldt Testimonial, " G. MAGNUS, TnENDELENBURG, H. W. DOVE, ENcKE." SECTION E.—GEOGRAPHY AND ETHNOLOGY. President, Admiral Sir J. C. Rosa. Dr. N. SIIAW read notes on the Lower Danube, by Major Stokes, R.E., having reference to the current, banks, and bars of that river. Mr. CULL then read a memorandum, by the Bri tish Consul, of an earthquake at Erzeroum, detail ing the nature and extent of the devastation caused by it. Professor GEDDES, of King's College, read a very interesting paper by the British Consul Freeman, descriptive of Ghadames, situated in the northerly part of the Sahara. The oasis of Ghadames is of an oblong form, and scarcely 10 miles in circumfer ence, being situated in a slight depression in the surrounding desert, in about 9 deg. 20 min. E. long., and 30 deg. 10 min. N. lat. Its history is involved in great obscurity, but from its central position there can be no doubt that ever since the hot spring has supplied settlers with water, and commercial intercourse has been kept up between the coast and the interior of Africa, this town has existed. It was a colony of the Romans, and on the decline of their empire was probably inhabited by a mixed race of the old colonists, Berbers and negroes from the interior, until the spreading of the powerful Saracenic tribes in the 3d and 4th centuries of the Hejira, at which period the natives probably embraced Mahomedanism, and admitted a new element, the Arab, into their already mixed population. The town is situate in the midst, or rather to the southern side of the oasis, and from the character of its buildings may at once be infer red the intense heat that prevails in the summer months, the houses being built of sun-dried mud. In the centre of the town is the Ain, or spring of hot water. This is a large quadrangular basin, about 70 feet long and 50 broad, which is shallow towards the sides, and deepens rapidly to the centre, where from a sandy bottom a copious sup ply of water bubbles up at a temperature of 90 deg. Fahrenheit. There are outlets at the four corners communicating with the ducts which convey the water to the gardens. The price of the water is regulated by what is called a " laddoos," or nothing more than a tin pot with a hole in the bottom, and which takes about two minutes and a half to empty itself, according to the size and requirements of the gardens of the inhabitants. The inhabitants are a mixed race, and in appearance even do not resemble the Arabs and Moors, and their language is entirely different from the Arabic, being a branch of the original of the Berber tongue, and bearing the closest affinity to the language of the Towarck, if it be not, indeed, with the exception of some en grafted Arabic terms, almost identical with it. They have the reputation among the Moors of the coast of great learning, which reputation is certainly unmerited. The greater part can read and write a little, but the only use to which they put this knowledge is a limited commercial correspondence. Though indolent at home, they,are very enterpri in their commercial pursuits, and besides the Soudan, where the major part of the foreign trade is carried on by them, they are also to be met with in all the principal towns on the coast of Barbary, from Alexandria to Tangier. SECTION F.—ECONOMIC SCIENCE AND STATICS. This section was presided over by Colonel W. H. Sykes, M.P. Mr. J. P. HENNESSEY, M.P., made some obser vations on the "Results of the Society of Arts Ex amination." He attempted to show that the edu cation afforded by institutions such as mechanics' was superior to that given by public schools generally. Mr. FAWCETT denied his conclusions, as deduc tions from very imperfect statistics, and observed that examinations had not touched large masses of the population, especially the agricultural portion. Mr. Wilkinson, Professor Sullivan, and the Chairman of the Society of Arts also engaged in the discussion. Professor G. WILSON, of Edinburgh, then read some " Statics on Colour Blindness." After describ ing its nature and results, he observed that his ob ject in bringing it before the section was to show the dangers resulting in persons affected with it being appointed to posts on railways and steamers, from their inability to distinguish red and green lights, &c. ; thus causing collisions on land and sea. He impressed on the section the necessity there was of obtaining more accurate statics on the subject. Colonel SYKES, in a very long speech, reviewed the financial history of British India, and con tended, on the basis of statistical returns, that although the debt of India had increased until some timid minds had become alarmed at its bulk, the burden of the pressure of interest was less now than it was in 1810. He endeavoured to show that the resources of India were more than sufficient for all the drains that would fall upon them. The speech gave much satisfaction to a very large audience. FRIENDLY SOCIETIES. The - Registrar of Friendly Societies in England begs to call the particular attention of the officers and members to tho following abstract of the pro visions of 18 and 19 Vic., c. 63, s. 24 and 13, which apply to all Friendly Societies : "If any officer, member, or any person whatso• ever, by false representation or imposition, shall obtain possession of any mon e y s , se curities, books, papers, or other effects of any society, or, having the same in his possession, shall withhold or mis apply the same, or shall wilfully apply any part of the same to purposes other than those expressed or directed in the rules, he may, upon complaint made by any person on behalf of such society, be sum moned before two ,juitices, and if the justices shall determine the complaint to be proved, they shall adjudge and order him to deliver up cli such moneys, securities, books, papers, or other effects, or to repay the amount of money applied improperly, and to pay, if they think fit, a further sum of money, not exceeding £2O, together with costs, not exceoding 205., and in default the said justices may order the said person so convicted to be imprisoned in the common gaol or House of Correction, with or without hard labour, for any time not exceeding three months."-S. 24. " Any trustee or other officer or person aiding or abetting in the dissolution or determination of any society, or the division -or appropriation of the funds thereof, except in the way directed by the 13th section of 18 and 19 Vic., c. 63, will, on con viction thereof by two justices, be committed to the common gaol or House of Correction, there to be kept to hard labour for any term not exceeding three calendar months;'—S, 13. " I hope this will reach you before the paper gives you any news, as it might make you uneasy if you saw my name among the wounded ; however, I am all right, thank God Almighty, and shall be out of the sick list to-morrow. It is bad news I have to give you. Our battalion, which formed the storming party, has been cut to pieces—every officer in it either killed or wounded, and 170 men hors de com bat out of 370 strong that landed. I will give you an account of the storming as it happened to me. On Saturday the 25th the gunboats (11 in number) took position off the forts, and at 2.45 p.m. com menced action at about 600 or 700 yards distance. After an hour's firing, during which several guns were silenced, a magazine blew up on the north side. 1 The gunboats made excellent practice, but, notwith standing this, the Chinese kept up a heavy fire, so much so that one gunboat had upwards of 100 shot in and through her, of which 42 were below water ' mark. Of course, she sank ; but they had time to run her on a bank, and her hull just shows above water. The gunboats suffered severely ; six of them were sunk, one lost 30 men killed or wounded out of 33, her complement ; others lost 20, which was the average. The Coromandel, with the Ad miral on board, was standing close in the whole afternoon. She suffered greatly too. The Admiral is very badly wounded; they say his leg will come off. He was wounded by a splinter. You could almost put your fist into the wound. I hope he will ge:, over it, for be is a fine fellow. At 5.30 p.m. the signal was given for the marines to land and . storm the forts. A Yankee steamer took our boats in tow, and when close in we cast off, and with three cheers gave way for the shore. Major Parke, Smith, Woolridge, Huleatt (chaplain to our bat talion), and myself were in the first boat that touched the beach. The water was about four feet deep where the men jumped out. I, like a muff, did not wait to go forward, but jumped over the stern of the boat and was nearly drowned, but I got hold of an oar and scrambled in again. I was wet all over ; however, it did not matter much, as you will see. We had to walk 200 yards under a heavy fire before the water was knee-deep. We lost a good many men, as we got into the mud, which was very deep. One round shot knocked over 10 of our men. It was impossible to form properly because of the mud and the heavy fire. Poor Huleatt did not go a dozen yards before he got a shot in the thigh. I went up to give him assist ance ; he asked me for my . pocket handkerchief to tie up his wound. I was in the act of handing it to him when a shot hit me on the side of my head, and over I went, at Huleatt's feet, stunned for the moment. I was soon on my feet again, and, throw ing Huleatt my pocket handkerchief, trudged on as well as I could. My goodness ! did we not get it now ? We were about 200 yards from the wall, and subjected to all the cross fires. I suppose we lost 100 marines in the space of as many yards. The forts we thought were silenced opened fire on us. I never saw such slaughter. Poor fellows ! they were carried off half-a-dozen at a time. Here were we, 350 marines and a few blue-jackets, storm ing a fort manned by 20,000 men, of whom many were Europeans in the pay of the Chinese Em peror, and 300 cannon. There were no supports to back us up, and we went on to almost certain , death. All the ladder party were, killed but two, and several ladders smashed by round shot. At last, after an hour's struggle, we reached the ditch. Col. Lemon got on the bank, and ordered the advance to be sounded. Some of us jumped down into the ditch, but were rather sold, for, instead of finding it knee-deep, it was out of our depth. Many men were shot going over the bank, some only slightly wounded rolled down the bank and were drowned in the ditch. I was one of the first to jump down. I never swam in my life. I don't know how it was, I got across soma how or other. When they found it was so deep they ordered up the ladders to cross on ; several were broken in getting the men across. After going some short distance knee-deep in mud we came to the second ditch ; this was a dry one, and was composed of very soft mud. You may not credit it, but we were an hour or more cross ing this ditch, a distance of about 20 yards. I was nearly left to be smothered in the mud; the men thought I was wounded, and were leav ing me to go on, at last two or three men of my company dragged mo out. The sights we saw at the second ditch are beyond all description. It was here our officers were picked off so. We were not 80 yards from the wall, and being dressed in red, while the men were in blue, made us conspicu ous marks for the enemy's riflemen. (They had rifles, for several of our men were wounded by their balls.) I should say only 250 men crossed the second ditch, the remainder were hors de combat in the mud and ditch. Now came the tug of war. We had crossed two ditches and the third lay before us, not 50 yards from tho wall. We had only three ladders left, and if we broke any of those it was all up with us, as none of our rifles would go off; the ammunition was wet, and the rifles also, besides being choked up with mud. Unless we could put three men at a time on the wall (about 30 feet high) we should stand no chance, as we had nothing but cold steel to fight with. Well, we laid the ladders across, and one or two went over all right. I was holding on to the Middle of the ladder, when two or three , fellows got on it and it broke, and down I tumbled into the middle of the ditch. I held on to the broken part of the ladder, and managed to get to the bank and scramble up. When I got on to the bank there was a nice spectacle before me, the walls covered with men not more than 35 yards' distant. When they saw me they gave a volley. I don't know how it was I escaped. My clothes were cut to pieces, and yet, with the exc eption of a few scrapes here and there, I was all right. Was it not a pity all the ladders were broken ? And here were we looking on, while the enemy stood on the walls picking us off at their leisure. In front of us the mud was covered with spikes, and chevaux de frise close under the walls. We had not been hero half an hour before every officer was hit. It was now orders came for us to retreat. Parke now com manded us, for Lemon and Masters were both badly wounded. I suppose we stayed in front an hour and a half after the retreat'sounded, so as to cover the wounded to the boats. Now, to make a long matter short, we had to go through the same ob stacles and fire, and it took much about the same time. Poor Wolridge was shot dead just before we left the front. Plucky young fellow ! every one liked him so much; and poor Inglis was wounded in the leg and drowned. I came across Williams (R.M.A.) ; he was badly wounded. The quarter him, so I gave a hand, i t i t i n as d t b e e r t -s w e e rg en ea u n s t g w ot as b l i i m elp d i o n ‘ g y n to the boats, and we were down there up to our breasts in water for two hours, and I was helping two wounded men, one on each arm. I was afraid at one time I should have had to leave them. I was taken with the shakes' at this time, from being so long in the water. All this time the enemy kept up a tremendous fire. An officer who was at the Redan (he had the Victoria Cross in the Crimea) told me at the time we were under the walls the Redan was child's play com pared to this. It was a fire, and no mistake. All pieces; it was really the wo mndeernf'uslubnoifrm‘ovsos were eo e f c u u s t toosoaped. got hit in four places ; what hurt me most was one of those infernal machines called bouquets ;' they are com posed things; they fall and then burst, of all alotofkinds burningof s tnffolames out, water won't put it out. I got some on my arm, did it not make me yell just ? I put a lot of earth on it and put it out. The boat I got into took me first on board the Coromandel. The decks were covered with wounded ; there was no room there for me, so I got them to put me on board a gunboat. Some kind individual got mo a change of raiment. I had to stay up all night to keep the men pumping the ship; as it was, she went down haltan-hour after we left her. I hear they have got her up since, and some of the other gunboats as well that were sunk. Poor Graves, the first-lieutenant of the Assistance, was shot dead before we reached the first ditch. Poor fellow ! he was appointed beach -master, but was allowed to give it up at his earnest rcqaest, for he said his only chance of promotion was going to the had his leg taken off ' front with the t;torininf , party. C a pt a i n Vansittart by a round s h o t. In fact, nearly every officer in action Was either killed or wounded or missing. I never saw men behave better than ours did ; the engagement began at a quarter to three on the 25th, and finished at about two or three a.m. on the following morning. They are firing still on the gunboats (June 29). I send you a plan of the forts. I think it was about 12.30 when I got on board the . gunboat. I had been nearly seven hours in the wet and mud. This has opened our eyes a little as to what the Chinese can do, and taught us a good lesson. I generally visit the wounded men twice a day. Poor fellows ! they are picking up nicely. lam all right, only cut up at the loss of so many of my comrades. Only 25 of my company were at the storming party, of which the captain and 14 men were killed or wounded." A message was received by the naval authorities at Portsmouth yesterday to hasten forward with all despatch for sea service the outfit of the Sphinx, 6, the Odin, 22, and the Ringdove, 6, screw—the first named for immediate commission. The Clio, 20, screw, Capt. Miller, arrived at Spit head yesterday morning from the Nore, and ex changed the usual complimentary salutes with the Victory, in Portsmouth harbour, flagship of the Commander-in-Chief, Admiral W. Bowles, C.B. The building of a perfect squadron of men-of war is being carried on with unremitting activity at Pembroke Dockyard. The most important vessel on the stocks is the Howe, a magnificent three decker of 121 guns. She is over 4,000 tons burden, and is to replace her namesake broken up some years ago at Sheerness. This fine vessel is rapidly approaching completion, and could be got afloat at a very short notice. The Defiance and Zealous, two of the new-class 91's, arc building. There are also three first-class frigates—viz., Immortalite, Aurora, and Tweed—each mounting 51 guns, in course of construction, of which the two first are far ad vanced. The smaller vessels are five in number, some of which are progressing rapidly. The reports from Malta, which reach down to the 15th of September, announce the departure thence that day of the Marlborough, bearing the flag of Vice-Admiral Fanshawe, the commander-in chief, with the Orion and Victor Emmanuel screw steam ships of the line and Lapwing gunboat; which, joining the Renown, Conqueror, Centurion, and Princess Royal, screw steam ships of the line, cruising in the offing of Malta, shaped a course for the northward and westward, bound, it is said, some to Gibraltar, in consequence of the attitude of Spain: at Algesiras, and . the others to the Morocco coast, upon a free u ication with which the supply' of the garfiiern o tibraltar in a great measure depends. The squadron under Rear-Admiral Mundy, continues cruising in the waters of Sicily, whence, after filling up water and provisions at Malta, some of the ships will be despatched eastward. The Euryalus, having on board Prince Alfred, who re-, turned from leave on the 3d in the Banshee, left on the 10th for the Piraeus of Athens and other ports of the Grecian Archipelago, whence she will extend her cruise as far as Constantinople, returning to Malta about Christmas, as his Royal . Highness is to be in England in February. The: Cadmus arrived at Malta from Leghorn on the 14th of September. Rear-Admiral Dacres arrived on the 12th of September in the Perai steampacket from Southampton, and immediately: entered on his duties on board the Marlborough as Captain of the Fleet. The Cv.radoe despatch) steamer awaits at Malta Sir Henry Rawlinson, K.C.8., and suite, and will convey them to Potii in the Black Sea, en route for Teheran. The tor Emmanuel arrived on the 4th, and the Doris on the sth at Malta, both from Syracuse. The latter left again on the 13th, and the Cressy on the sth: both with sealed orders. The Orion arrived on thd 10th, and the Boxer on the 12th, from Palermoi and on the 14th the Cadmus, from Leghorn. The screw steam-frigate Imperieuse, 51, Captai4 Frere, having discharged her powder, left Ply mouth Sound on Monday for Hamoaze, and wen at once into No. 1 dock, Devonport Dockyard. Sh makes 12 inches an hour from a leak in the after ; part. Mr. E. Halse, joiner in the Devonport Dock yard, had a part of his left hand cut off on Mon day by the steam circular saw. He was conveyed. to the hospital, where amputation at the wrist was performed. The Admiralty yacht Osborne was appointed to leave Plymouth yesterday (Tuesday) for Pembrokd. It is reported at Plymouth that the Defence Commissioners will recommend floating batteries for the fortifications of the coast. The mechanics and artisans employed in her Majesty's Dockyard at Chatham have decided on presenting the Itight Hon. Mr. J. Wilson; late M.P. for Devonport, with a piece of plate, as an acknowledgment of his strenuous and successfUl exertions to procure for the artisans of the Royl dockyards, and the other workmen belonging bo the other public establishments, an increase in their superannuation allowance, according to the provi sions of the Civil Sers ice Superannuation Bill, the clauses extending the benefits of the measure to the mechanics and labourers of her Majesty's dockyards being passed entirely through the exertions of Mr. Wilson. A large and influential meeting of the dockyard workmen was held at the Lonthm Tavern, Chatham, on Monday night, to make the necessary arrangements in connexion with the proposed pre:- , sentation. Rear-Admiral L. T. Jones was yesterday ap ' pointed to be second in COMMZEtd on the East India land China station. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Commander E. D'O.

Yesterday the hired troopship Earl Balcarras, 1,488 tons, Capt. H. Morris, belonging to Messrs. M'Leod and Co., embarkedthe following officers and reinforcements at Gravesend for Kurrachee :—Cor net E. Goldsmith and 49 non-commissioned officers and men of the 7th (Princess Itoyan) Dragoon Guards ; Ensign C. Roger and 28 men of all ranks of the 70th Foot, and 71 non-commissioned officers and men of the 98th Foot, from the depots at Canter bury ; Capt. G. A. Harrison, Lieut. R. B. It. Red ford, Lieut. T. R. Hawkins, Ensign G. W. Coventry, Ensign R. M. Borthwick, and 103 non-commis sioned officers and men of the 79th (Cameron) High landers, from Stirling ; Ensign W. G. M'Crea, En sign T. L. Priestley, Ensign H. B. Scott, and 182 non-commissioned officers and men of the 46th Regi ment, from Teniplemore ; Capt. H. L. Cafe and 7 men of the 94th Regiment from the Hut Barracks, Chatham ; and 4 men of the 51st Light Infantry, from Chichester. The following officers also em barked for Kurrachee in the same vessel :—Lieut.- Col. R. J. Baumgartner, C. 8., 27th Enniskillens, in command, and Capt. R. Halahan, 24th Regiment —total, 14 officers and 444 non-commissioned offi cers and men , the whole in medicalcharge of Assist.- Surgeon IV. Collis, 98th Regiment. Yesterday morning the two company depots of the 31st (Huntingdonshire) Regiment, under the command of Captain C. Prevost, and the 01st (Argyleshire) Regiment, commanded by Capt. M. Potter Macqueen, marched into Chatham garrison, from Pembroke depot battalion, for the purpose of occupying the quarters vacated the previous d by by the 31st and 61st depots. On their arrival they were inspected on the general parade-ground by Major-Gen. Eyre, after which they were marched off to their quarters in Chatham Barracks and the ILA Barracks, Brompton. The officers attached to the two depots have been already enumerated. The depot of the 81st Regiment is about 250 strong —the service companies are now at Poouah, and have been serving in India since 1353. The head quarters of the 91st Regiment are at Madras, the regiment having been only five years in India ; the depot is 450 strong, and recruiting still proceeding for it. An order has been received at Chatham from the War-office directing the depot of the 29th Regi ment, which has long been quartered at Chatham, to hold itself in readiness to proceed to join the head quarters of the regiment, which have just arrived in England from India, after an absence of 17 years. The 29th depot is encamped within the spur battery, but in consequence of the 61st depot having left the camp on Monday, the only depot, besides the 29th now under canvas is the Ist bat `3d Royal Welf,li Fusiliers. The officers at- Yesterday several additional recruiting parties were out in the metropolis from the 2eDragoon Guards, the 35th, 43d, and 531 Foot, and the Royal Marines. The termination of the harvest and the dismiss al of the militia regiments that have been out training have consideraly increased the num ber of recruits, the average number of 90 daily ar riving at - the chief office, Delahay-street, • West., minstcr. • The encampment at Brown-down, which has been occupied since the commencement of June as a rifle instruction practice ground for the troops forming the garrison of Portsmouth - and its.dependencies, was'yesterday broken up, with the exception of the Royal Marine Light Infantry, and the various troops joined their respective head-quarters. The present site was first selected for the encampment of the German Legion at the conclusioia of the Crimean campaign, but latterly haS been Used for the purpose above mentioned, for which it is most admirably adapted. The practice ground itself ad joins the western, portion of the beach of Stokes Bay, and was some years back sold by Government for a very inconsiderable sum, and on the want of it being discovered for its present , nse, it was, of• course, bought back for a ,much larger sum than what it had been previously sold for. To ren der the whole matter more rididulous, a triangular piece of the ground at the western end was left un purchased, which ground must now be bought at any price, as it confines the present rifle range to 900 yards, while it would give a 1,200 yards range. The ground to the northward of and .adjoining the practice-ground formsa plateau with sufficient room to encamp 6,000 men. The drainage of the ground by natural means is excellent--a slight trench, a few inches in depth, is dug round each tent, and however heavy the rain may be it soaks instantly through to the shingle beneath. Fourteen wells have been sunk along the front of the camp, each well having been originally supplied with a pump and covered over, but the pumps have long since been broken, and the covers to the wells are gone, no one knows where, unless to light the camp fires; the consequence is, the men lower the buckets into the wells by a piece of rope, and draw their water in the best way they can. The majority of the troops wash themselves at the well's mouth, and, as a mattter -of course, the dirty water percolates back through the brickwork into the well again. The tents of the line and militia contain, within .a cir cumference of 36 feet, from 12 to 14 men, stowed on some loose straw, litter over the ground. Each tent is supplied with a cooking kettle, and this with the men's canteens, we were informed, includes the whole of the means allowed to the soldier for cook ing his food and keeping himself and clothes clean during a life in camp. On turning to the tents, 14 in number', of the Royal Marine Light Infantry, we find th. same sized tent as the troops of the line, but with only nine men in each. Every man's bed is snugly rolled up and secured by a leathern strap, forming a Comfortable seat round the .tent.; the floor is, covered . with clean shingle, and in front of the tent is an ornamental garden. The paths between the tents are well gravelled and bordered with flints and shells. Each tent is supplied-with its cooking kettle, as its brother of the line ; but, in addition to this, the tent of talc Royal Marines has a strong tin dish for meat and potatoes, • a capital pail for soup, &c., - and the very complete out fits of each individual marine; and outside the tent stands a. handy wooden pail for washing pur poses. The Contrast between the comforts actually enjoyed by the one service, and the discomfort and misery experienced by the other, on the same ground and under the same apparent circumstances, are too great to be believed, except by actual investigation. The new line of defences for the protection of Ports mouth from the advance of an enemy on the north west side commence at the eastern extremity of the camp, and stretches from Fort Gomer to Portsdown hill. From Fort Gomer to the southward has been commenced the new series of works which is in tended to connect Forts Gomer and Moncton, and which will be armed with pieces of the heaviest calibre. Slightly in advance are the two auxiliary forts to Fort Gomer, each mounting 11 guns—nine 95-cwt. guns, and two guns of 112 cwt. each. When complete, the whole will form a network of the strongest defences it is possible to conceive.

At the Exeter Guildhall on Saturday, before the Mayor, Capt. Tanner, and a full bench of magi strates, Mr. Charles Ashburnham Floyd, a cornet in the oth Lancers, the depot of which is now stationed at the Exeter Barracks, was charged with indecently assaulting a young married woman, named Eliza Ann Cobley, the wife of a porter. The evidence of the complainant was of a most extraor dinary character. She stated that on the night of the Bth of September she was walking in the Cow ley-bridge-road, when she was accosted by the defendant, who asked her to take a walk with him. She refused, telling him that she was a married woman, and that she was goine. home. He said, "'The more safe for that," and then endeavoured to force her into Bury-meadow. When they came to a lane defendant put his arm round her waist, and forced her into it, and here he made improper over tures and took indecent liberties with her. For nearly two hours she was detained by the defendant, and repeatedly resisted the attempts he made upon her. When she arrived home her clothes were very much disarranged, and on her husband asking her the reason she told him all the circumstances. The defendant told her that his name was Floyd, and that he was going into the barracks. In cross examination by Mr. Gray, who appeared for the defendant, the complainant (Omitted she did not raise any alarm when the defendant took liberties with her, and that although a soldier passed them when in the lane, she did not appeal to him for protection. She swore positively that Mr. Floyd, who was in court, was the gentleman who assaulted her, but he was not then in military uniform. In order to get away from him when she did she said she agreed to meet him the next night, but she did not keep her appointment. As her husband was annoyed, she wrote to Mr. Floyd asking him to meet her, in order that he might apologise to her husband, and thus prevent a public exposure. The diction and orthography of the letters were of a very peculiar character, and highly amused a large auditory, among whom were several of defendant's brother officers. The following is one of the epistles : "Exeter, Sept. 14. it • be of youonce more that you will alow youself to see me on those very Particlar Terms as you have De stroyed my happyness with my husband complete as I told you at the Time you would and he says he will have the low for it he this Day would not be Put over from having a Police officer and search the Barracks for you but I Told to him and he let it alone if you would only See me and hear what I want to Say to you Do see me this Evening at half past Seven o Clock at the lower Part of Northerny oposete the new railway you can be on the last Seat Down and I will be there at that Time Precisly Pont fail let me beg of as I woe oblige to say how keep me from being in home Timo and what you ware but not Telling you name to him. " A. CORLEY." Mr. Floyd's oral reply to the communication was that he knew nothing of the writer.

As rifle marksmen they are certainly equal to any soldiers of the Line. Their proficiency in this particular should, I think, be kept up. I have - for some years - been-eonvinced -of the-ne cessity of a standing navy, nor can I discover how better to acquire it than by substituting Marines for blue jackets.

TO ME EDITOR OF 'THE 3,TIMES. Sir,—l have read your article -ppm this subject with plea Sure, and none . more Siiitusoithe one in last. Friday's impression, in which ye point out the untouched resources of the country:" -- • I have under my care 50 youths belonging to the reformatory , class, and I think that, in stamina and training, they are well adapted for the navy. They have had, at least, two years of wholesome and cor rective discipline, and have learnt to obey orders em .h ir! companies, and perform s a i n m d p s l i e g n m a i l l s i ; ta to ry m r a n r i o c entsrepair their own clothes and,boots, use sail needles. and stitch canvas, scrub - a room, make-a -bed; and do a little rough cookery. They can swim- well, climb a long rope, and sit en the truck hearl of -our 40 feet mast. Here, then, are, I think, the ,elements of a good sailor, while for dashund bottom, I will answer 'for them that, in the day of trial, they will rank with the men who shouted victory at Irafal gar, or with those who as bravely met defeat and death on the shores of the Peiho. But, sir, the navy refuses to take this, as I think, useful class of boys. On what ground I cannot tell. Perhaps moral contamination is feared, and certainly after " Jack" has had a few weeks' cruise in certain parts of London or Portsmouth, it would be as well to keep him from the evil communica tion of the reformatory boy. Still, this regula tion does not - exist with regard to the army. What is the fine line,',then, that keeps him from the navy ? Mr. Cave's letter shows that there is nothing to fear from this class of lads. Why, then, is a boy from a certified reformatory like mine or the Akbar only to be got into the navy sub rose ! Break this barrier, and every year the State paid reformatory shall add a valuable addition to the defences of the, country. This question affects the managers of these schools equally with the public. The - value of a reformatory does not consist so much on its situa tion or system as in the right disposal of the boy at the period of his discharge. To fail here is to fail everywhere. To send London or town boys back to their old haunts, even after years of training, is to risk all ; for, in addition to the power of old habits and associations, the semi-public life of a - boy in these schools of discipline does, to a certain extent. unfit him for the ordinary situations which towns offer, and to send him abroad as an emigrant is at once a costly proceeding and a possible loss to the country, while to place him on board our Royal Alberts and Goliaths is to fix him in the home of his own choice, and for which he is well furnished by his reformatory training. But a barrier exists, and you, Sir, will do the State service if your well-timed article should destroy this impedi ment and allow an honourable entrance into the navy for a class of boys who, in all the essentials of a British sailor, will bear comparison with any in the service. I am, sir, your obedient servant, W. J. CORDEL lER. Ford-house; Bow, Sept. 19. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—l have just hul the pleasure of read ing in your paper of to -day one of the most admirable, because most usefully sug gestive, articles which ever marked the active and accurate vigilance of the Times. It st tes the reasonableness of recruiting both navy and army by boys from workhouses and reformatories. I recog nise without hesitation and wish to illustrate the common-sense of the proposal. There was brought before me yesterday a lad of 17 years of age accused of theft, who had already been six times convicted of the same crime. In October, 1857, I sentenced hire to imprisonment for 15 months. He repeated the offence after his liberation in the course of the summer of this year, and was sent by a police ma gistrate to gaol for 60 days. Nothing cured him. He was again a thief, when his whole previoushis tory was resuscitated. He avowed his guilt with the most cheerful alacrity, while I did not hesitate in the face of the public court to confess that I really did not know what to do with such a case, and that I personally revolted again st the duty imposed on me of literally burying alive a young man at the very period of life when the seeds of the whole practical iata th e p r u n s m e f i t s tl e n s e n s r s , a o t f I n c i a a s n t o n g p h e t n t o be quickened r snmeicind of fruit. But I was obliged to send him to prison for 18 months. Our whole system, depend upon it, is a monstrousmistake and fallacy. No prison, no re formatory, will ever , b y theoretical inculcation of what is right, make the slightest impression on any such juvenile offender. And even if their teaching or discipline had any effect for a time, and while the boy was within their walls, what is he to do when his sentence is over, and he is sent once more into the world ? The whole world rejects him. The thing is nonsense. Your ideas, if carried out, would save to the nation and to themselves thousands of young spirits who, having gone astray under in citements, or temptations, or compulsions, or examples of which nobody sitting a lwa y s beside a comfortrble fireside can have the s lightest con ception, are—l say it stern l y and openly — instead of being bettered o r helped, made use less, and crushed for ever by prisons and reforma• n g f d o t i i n ie and awakened to khenuemdan self consciousness of of what a man can d o when h e tories.
