STAMPED, SD. at least an equal claim for the consideration of the war duties upon tea and sugar, and the middle class for relief from the enormous Income-tax upon small incomes, with the particular interests connected with the paper duty, for the removal of that bur den. I do not think any Government will fi n d a majority in the House of Commons again disposed to begin at the wrong end of a budget, to agree to vote for the reduction of taxation till they have fully provided for a correct and honest estimate of the expenditure of the country. "I may be deceived in this, as I was last year in my views with respect to a French treaty. I relied then upon the positive assurances of the Ministers in the previous Session, that they considered such an arrangement incompatible with the principles on which our commercial legislation had hitherto proceeded. They saw reason to change their course, and the only objection I had to the new one was the precipitate and inconsiderate manner of the proceeding, and afterwards to the utter neglect of equivalents and precautions, which there was not the slightest reason for believing might not have been obtained and provided, and this more espe cially with respect to the silk trade. Who can sup pose that the French manufacturers would not have consented to a fair exchange upon both sides, as the condition of our repealing the duties upon the importation and consumption of their produce in this country ? But I must not go into a longer discussion on these subjects. "I shall be in town on my way to France in the week from the 13th to the 20th. If I can do any good, either in London or Paris, I am at your or ders ; but I have no power, and you seem to have exhausted reason in your application to Govern ment on the particular subject of your letter. " I voted against any alteration of the Customs' duties, foreseeing these objections, and very much against my anxious inclination to support the Liberal Administration of Lord Palmerston. I know of no greater calamity that could befall this coun try than the weakening of his power and authority at this moment, or any danger to his Government; but not even that conviction shall induce me in the next session to support the same speculative and vast system of finance which has produced so much unnecessary difficulty and injury to various inte rests as that thrown so loosely beforo the Parlia ment last year.

That this anniversary specially recognises, under the Divine blessing*, Dr. Marsden's singularly successful treatment of the distressing disease of cancer, his liberal devotion of so much valuable time and atten tion in intercepting, arresting, and more or less relieving the large number of cases annually admitted into the Hospital, or treated as out-patients, his careful tabulation of the origin, symptoms, and pathological development of the cases open at any time to the inspection of medical practitioners, the ex perience derived from which materially influences the treat ment of wealthier patients suffering from the same painful malady. That the above resolution he engrossed, and pre sented in a suitable form, to Dr. Marsden and that it be in serted in the leading morning and evening papers.

G A RL B,, , LDPS ARMY. nondent of the Times.) (From the Special Corres; CASERTA, Nov. 1. Yekerday there was a thronging and hastening of amateurs and idlers towards Banta Maria and San Angelo. It was owing to an impression that the bombardment of Capua would begin. Why just the 31st of October was fixed for the event is, of course, difficult to explain, but once the idea started it was not difficult to find believers in it. The general impatience that it should take place had engendered such a credulity on this point that any wag might send crowds to the front. While the tendency of sightseers was towards the North, Garibaldi and his Staff went down to Naples to assist at the distribution and consecration of their colours to the Hungarian Legion and to the Hun garian Hussars. These troops belonging to the brigade Eber had received orders the day before to go down to Naples, where the ceremony was to take place, on the Largo del Palazzo, the open space in front of the Royal palace. It was just the site calculated to set off such a ceremony, with the facade of the Royal palace on one side, the two large buildings of the Foresteria on the right and left, and the church of St. Francisco di Paola, with its cupola and arcades, opposite to it. The preparations for the reception of the King had rather encroached on the space, cover as they did the part towards the church with a skeleton triumphal arch and transparencies in all stages of preparation ; but sufficient still re mained not to mar the general effect. An altar was improvised close to the triumphal arch, and this altar formed the centre of the cere mony. To the right of it was drawn up the Legion and to the left the Hussars, while the opposite side was occupied by a battalion of the National Guard, which had been invited to assist at the ceremony. Two companies of the Bersaglieri of the brigade Eber formed a double line from the Foresteria to the centre of the square. The daughter of General Garibaldi and the Mar chesa Pallavicini, the wife of the Pro-Dictator, were chosen as the madrine or god mothers. The first not being present was represented by her father. All being ready, Garibaldi, who came down from Caserta, and was at his old quarters in the Palazzo Angri, was informed of the circumstance, and he drove down in an open carriage. The Mass, which it is usual to read on such occasions, was over when he arrived, and the ceremony of consecration was proceeded to forthwith. Padre Giovanni, a Fran ciscan monk, who had accompanied Garibaldi's ex pedition almost from its landing at Marsala, per formed the ceremony. The colours were brought up by the officers, and consecrated in the usual man ner. After this the ribands were tied on, and the nails provided with the names of the persons con cerned hammered in. This being done the colours were brought back to Garibaldi, who, taking one in each hand, addressed the following words to the STANFORD S. SMITH, See. officers : " I am proud to place into your hands and confide to your valour these two flags, the fraternal colours of which are so well known on the battle-field of Italian independence. They will be a new bond be tween the two sister nations. Evviva l'ltalia ! Evviva l'Ungheria !" A general shout was the answer to these words, after which Garibaldi retired to the Foresteria. The Hungarian troops then formed a square, and the formula of the oath was read by Colonel Mog gorody " I swear before God the All-powerful fidelity to Victor Emmanuel, King of Italy, and obedience to my superiors. I swear not to abandon my colours, and to defend them to the last drop of blood in the fight for Italian independence, until circumstances will permit us to return into our o wn country. I swear obedience to the national committee and the chiefs chosen by it. So may Gold help me." Shouts of "Evviva 1' Italia e l'Ungheria" followed, after which General Turr addressed the officers and soldiers, saying : " Warriors,—l need not recommend you to defend your colours, for I saw on the Ist of October a handful of you not only defend them but beat an enemy far superior in numbers. The commander of the infantry belonged to the famous 3d battalion of our War of Independence. Follow him, and I am sure you will never deviate from the path of honour." Then, addressing the Hussars :-- " And what shall I say to you, Hussars P From the day you were mounted you have not missed an opportunity to increase the immortal name of the Hungarian Hussars. Our oppressed country looks to you and expects much from you. As for me, I am sure that when we are once on the frontiers you will come down like a hurricane on the enemy who oppresses us." Garibaldi in the meantime had come out on the balcony of the Forestaria, where the sight of him, as usual, excited hurrahs and demands for a few words. Having acknowledged the enthusiastic reception he addressed the people, saying : " This is a memorable day for you, for it cements the alliance of two peoples and establishes the fra ternity of*the people. To-day you have destroyed that principle of egotism which has kept the nations separated, and thus has facilitated the servitude of all. The people with whom you have fraternised to-day have the same enemies who threaten you. Your cause is theirs, and theirs is yours. " But before fighting against this enemy outside you have internal enemies to beat down, and I will tell you that the chief of them is the Pope. If I have acquired any merit, I have acquired that of telling you the truth frankly and without a veil. In using this privilege I tell yon that your chief enemy is the Pope. " I am a Christian as you are ; yes, I am of that religion which has broken the bonds of slavery and has proclaimed the freedom of. men ; the Pope who oppresses his subjects and is an enemy of Italian independence is no Christian ; he denies the very principle of Christianity—he is the Antichrist. "This truth you must spread among all those who are near to you, for it is only when all Italians shall be thoroughly convinced of this truth that Italy will be really free and united." Garibaldi had several times to interrupt his speech on account of the applause which his words elicited from the multitude below. After a breakfast which had been prepared in the salle of the Foresteria, Garibaldi went to see Colonel Dungoo, an Hungarian, wounded on the Ist, whose leg had been amputated in the morning. Before returning to Caserta he wetit likewise to see Bixio, who is laid up with his broken leg at the Palazzo An gri. Nov. 2. Yesterday afternoon at 4 p.m. our batteries opened on Capua; this morning at dawn the com mander of the fortress sent out to say that he was ready to treat. The negotiations began at 10 a.m. at Santa Maria, and in the evening the capitulation was signed. Thus the bugbear which has so long excited Neapolitan imaginations has at last disap peared. I have often ;epeated that Capua itself is nothing, and that it was only important as 2; part of the line of defence of a large army. This army once thrown back, and the line of defence broken through, it could not hold out for a day. When the approach of the Piedmontese from the north and Garibaldi's expedition across the Volturno made the main body of the Neapolitans withdraw behind the Caricgalipaunao,litelsieinproenpearoaftitohne numerousstoreduce which the river Voltur no ma k es i n towards the sea. The whole town is built ietaspU Co u rse suddent began. be nd s on the left or south bank of the river, and resembles in shape an ivy leaf, two sides of which are defended by the Volturno, while only the third, between the two river bends, opens out towards St. Tamar°, Santa Mar i a, an d st, Angelo. It was against this side that the attack was directed. On the opposite side of the river a single battalion, with two field guns, was detached from the Piedmontese force at Sessa, to prevent any issue on the high road from Capua to Gaeta. The line of attack was divided between our forces and the Piedmontese who came under Sonnaz and landed at Naples. These latter consist of two bri gades, both of them weak, and one of them, the Brigata Be, with two battalions at Naples. These two brigades, in all about 4,000, took the left attack, from St. Tamaro and La Foresta to Santa Maria. The Cosenz Division remained in its position at Santa Maria, and was employed in the attacks on the centre ; while Medici's Division, which had re lieved the Piedmontese at St. Angelo, had the right attack. General della Rocca was sent from the Piedmontese head-quarters to direct the whole attack, and took up his quarters in the centre at Santa Maria. Each side constructed its own bat teries, and manned them too, but, as wo were rather short of artillery officers, some were lent to us for the bombardment by the Piedmontese. All to the south of Capua stretches out the plain of the Cam pania, so it was in vain to seek for dominating posi tions ; indeed, it is the position of Capua which commands everything around it within cannon shot. But if this was rather a disadvantage it was more than compensated by the circumstance that, except in the immediate vicinity „of Capua, where the trees had been cleared away, the whole country behind is covered with olive and other woods, which serve for training the vines upon them. This gave great facilities in the construction of batteries, the existence and position of which could be hidden up to the last moment. The points against which the batteries were erected were on the Piedmontese side, the south-westerly angle, which lies close to the river, in the direction of La Forest& ; from Santa Maria the bastion of St. Salvatore, which protects the entrance of the railway and of all the southern roads from Aversa and Santa Maria into Capua.; and on the right the bastion of Santa Maddalena, which looks in the direction of St. Angelo. To reduce the first the Piedmontese erected two batteries, one of three rifled 12-pounders and two 10-inch mortars at a distance of about 1,600 metres from the St. Tamaro side, and another of seven rifled guns to the left in the direction of La Foresta. Against St. Salvatore a battery of three rifled guns and three mortars were erected to the right of the Santa Maria road, and a battery of two mortars to the right rear of this battery. Against Santa Mad dalena, finally, there was a battery of six rifled guns to take it in its left flank, and another of two 32- pounders to take it in front. All these batteries had been prepared, without a shot being fired from any of them until all were ready yesterday afternoon. Thus the position of them remained unknown to the fortress up to the last moment. Partly to conceal the position of these batteries in case of a reconnaissance in force on the part of the enemy, partly to protect them against a coup de main, the outposts were gradually pushed forward until those on the right were at the edge of the glacis, at not more than 400 or 500 yards from the ramparts. Little parapets were thrown up to protect them. One must allow that the Neapolitans tried their best to break through this circle, which shut them in more and more, and scarcely a day passed without some demonstration or attack being undertaken against our outposts—above all against those of Medici towards St. Angelo. In spite of the assistance which these attacks derived from the vicinity of the fortress, they were invariably repulsed, but often only with serious loss. Yesterday afternoon, at 4 p.m., the signal for the opening of fire was given at last, and our batteries went merrily at it. But neither did the fortress remain idle, and for the first hour a perfect shower of missiles was sent in the direction of the batteries, which, however, caused us very small damage. The aim could be but imperfect, for the trees prevented a!good view, and all was but guess work. It was the same on our side, only the bastions were larger objects, and therefore more easily hit. During the bombardment Victor Emmanuel arrived at St. An gelo, and went up to the heights to have a view of the proceedings. But he very soon returned towards Sessa. Towards nightfall the fire became slack on both sides, and, with the exception of now and then a shell which you could see traversing the air, all was still. The outposts reported, however, to have heard great noise and confusion in the town, which increased every time a shell fell. The plan was not to bombard indefinitely, but to recommence a few hours next morning, and then assault the place. And the dispOsitions were taken to effect this, all the troops receiving orders to be ready to march. But all these preparations became useless, for at dawn the message came from General du Cornet, the Swiss commander of the fortress, that he was ready to capitulate. The negotiations, which were carried on with Della Rocca at Santa Maria, lasted several hours. I have not yet heard the exact tenour of the capitulation, but the garri son will be prisoners of war, and already the order has been sent to Naples to prepare the barracks of the Granito for them. Their number is supposed to be about 6,000. The Cosenz Division is to occupy Capua. It was to have taken possession of the place this evening, but it was deferred till to-morrow morning. NOVEMBER 3. It seems that the garrison of Capua is much larger than we anticipated. They turn out to be between 9,000 and 10,000 men, among them a number of the gendarmerie, who had taken refuge there as in a safe place. How the Neapolitans could leave so large a force as a kind of forlorn hope seems incredible, unless we suppose that their retreat was so hasty when they saw us crossing the Volturno that all the troops on the Volturno line, from Cajazzo down wards, made their way into Capua as the nearest place of retreat. 9,000 or 10,000 men make a large hole in an army, and if any one could have sup posed that Capua harboured so large a force, it would have invested the place with far greater in terest than it otherwise possessed. The general impression is that the King will not wait for the fall of Gaeta, but go to Naples before. In spite of the occupation during the voting of a large district by tho Neapolitans, the result has been such as to leave no doubt about the wishes of the population, and now nothing remains but for malities to fulfil, and the sooner these are fulfilled the better it will be. People who are in communication with Gaeta maintain that the King would have left long tgo had it not been for the exertions of the Spanish Minister, who kept him up to the mark. Yesterday afternoon Garibaldi went to town to assist at the burial of Gambardilla, the lazzaroni chief. This man, belonging to the population of fishermen, had acquired an uncontrolled influence over his caste, and invariably exerted it in the in terest of freedom. He suffered accordingly ;he remained for more than a year in prison, and re ceived over 150 blows. It was due to his influence that the rabble of Naples has been kept in order, without any regular force, under most difficult cir cumstances, and Garibaldi appreciating this treated I him as a friend. Gambardilla was going towards his house this morning and was stabbed from behind. The knife entered near the left shoulder blade, and came out at the chest. Ho lived half an hour. The assassin ran away, and has not been found yet, but there is an ex-gendarme suspected, who has been looked after, but who has disappeared, together with his family. Thousands of people were attracted by the funeral. To-morrow the distribution of the medals takes place to those who landed at Marsala. The cere mony will be held on the Largo del Palazzo, at Naples, and of course Garibaldi will assist. The number of those remaining is very little more than 500, or about half.

Lord Teynham, following up the idea of a Na tional Association of Political Councils, lately broached by his lordship in a letter to the Secre tary of the Northern Reform Union, again writes to that gentleman as follows " Maidenhead, Oct. 24. " Sir,—Should the Northern Reform Union now mani fest impaired vigour (pardon the suppositim), it would be said—the standard bearer of the army or, reform fainteth ; and the recent overthrowers of the Cou,mons would shout, and lift their outrageous feet to trample again on the liberties of the people. It is true Yao voice lately raised in the United Kingdom can evoke. more than the faintest echo from the arch of freedom which is supposed, to canopy our people. Yet, if it ev er have been manly and humane to work and speak for the electors, who, without the ballot, are but partially free, and for the non-electors, who know not more than semi-freedom, more abundantly is it so to-day. " During the last session of Parliament, the House of the Commons of England was speaking. It tried to put forth a measure of reform of the very lightest description : one would have thought that the faintest breath might have wafted it to the Lords; but it had not even strength enough to pooh pooh it on its way. " A heavy Bankruptcy Bill was put into its hands to carry to the Upper House, and, as might have been expected, it fell from them, leaving, alas I many of our countrymen in prison, debtors, of many of whom it may be said that their only crime is unexpected poverty ; leaving also the property of creditors in the estates of bankrupts still to be swallowed up to a large extent by the cost of law. " It put also its little shoulders under one of the burdens of the people, the paper duty, and tried to lift it off them, showing some courage at first, which damped ; and the re presentatives of the people had only just strength enough to do the beginning of their work, and send the Relief Bill to the Lords. These, seeing the mannikins they had to deal with, made a shuttlecock of it, and knocked it away. The Commons heard of the game, and instead •of, like men— like wise men who had acted pertinently ; like fathers of the people who had been working for their good—perfect ing their work as they might have done, notwithstanding the majority of the Lords; like a turtle thrown upon its back, it contented itself with boasting of what it would do when on its feet again, should any hereafter amuse them selves at its expense by upsetting it as it went along. " A House of Commons that cannot carry the people's measures needs that the people should carry it. If there be any better litter on which to place it than the National Association of Political Councils I have proposed, let it be patented and used at once. If not, let the people thus sup port their representatives in the Lower House. " But are the people as weak as their representatives ? Do we dwell in Lilliput ? If not, les them arise upon their feet, and stretch themselves to the full stature of men, and have a solemn proclamation read, ero they march to fight for freedom once again. „ _ " Look, Britons, to the kinsmen of your fathers, who were colonists in North America, tax ed, or attempted to be taxed, being unrepresented. They 'petitioned Parliament that it might not be so, and the prayer of their petitions was rejected. Under these circumstances they asked their hearts what should freemen do, and the reply was, ask your swords. These gave them freedom. " People of the United Kingdom, unrepresented, yet heavily taxed ; or, if represented, being without the pro tection of the secret ballot, tempted by the avaricious, who would buy you with bribery, to sell you again to your loss and for their sordid gain ; or tramplod on by dominating landlords and their imperious agents, or by wealthy female buyers who enter shops, that the tradesmen's vote mny be theirs, though not by stealthy ways, yet by persuasion, barbed with covert threats, hearken ? " When Liberty shall gather together her soldiers from various climes, and of every age, to crown her victors with laurel, the freemen of the United States that became war riors, the warriors that became freemen doubly free, will rise in judgment against you, unless you petition Parlia ment for manhood suffrage and vote by ballot, and unless you continue to back your petitions with the sword of truth—now and hero we need no coarser weapons—until all the freedom you could and should have is yours and your children's while Britain is the Briton's home. • "And be sure of this, the American colonies had never been independent States had they not first become United States. And ye, my fellow-countryman, ye will not have your liberties perfected, ye will not have the inhuman poor laws amended, so that they may gracefully direct the per formance of your purposes of charity --unless by means of a National Association of Political Councils, or by some other device, you become and remain a united people.—l remain, sir, for the people, yours faithfully. MYNITIN. ",Mr. R. B. Reed, Hon.'See. Northern Reform Union, Newcastle-on-Tyne." THE EIGHT HON. E. ELLICE, M.P. The following letter has been addressed by Mr. Ellice to his constituents, in reply to a communica tion from the Mayor of Coventry : " Brechin. Castle, Oct. 31. "My dear Sir,—Your letter, which had been following me from place to place, reached me here to-day. I read it with true despair, both as regards the state of the trade in Coventry, and all parties, whether manufacturers or weavers, engaged in it, and as regards the object of it, for I know no means and see no way by which I can bring either reason or influence to bear on Mr. Gladstone, to induce him to review the decision he has communicated to you with respect to the drawback on paper used in the manufacture or in preparation of ribands for sale. " The whole proceedings of the financial depart ments of the Government have been so inconsistent, and so utterly devoid of caution and foresight, that it has been impossible for members of Parliament representing the interests of large constituencies either to insist upon a due examination of the man ner in which their interests would be affected by the measures of Government, or to provide by pre cautionary suggestions against injury unnecessarily inflicted upon them by the precipitancy and incon siderate manner in which these violent changes have been made. " On no part of the Budget has this been more remarkable than in the proceeding with respect to the paper duties. The particular object in proposing their repeal at the beginning of last session, in addition to the repeal of the duties connected with the French Treaty, would appear to have been to satisfy the exigencies of individual members of the Cabinet, and to conciliate the support of a certain party out of it, connected with them, without sufficient consideration of the general and public interests involved in the question. To favour that proceeding, the whole expenditure of the country was concealed from Parliament, and, as will be seen by the result, estimates of revenue were grossly exaggerated. When I say the expenditure was concealed, I refer to the amount required for for tifications, the report and estimate for which were in the hands of the Cabinet at the time the Budget was proposed, and the requirements of the unfor- tunate China war, which were obvious to all the world. It is useless to refer to the manner in which the repeal of the paper duties was defeated. When defeated, the Chancellor of the Exchequer did not think proper to act upon his own convic tions, and to insist upon a • reconsideration of the decision, but found his revenge in repealing the Customs' duties on the importation of paper, on what I consider a strained construction of the article in the French Treaty. The question of Free Trade, as bearing on the point, was equally strained to suit his purpose. The duties had been revised and settled by, able men on that principle a few years before. He now admits the difficulties in which several interests, beyond thus© of the silk manufacturers, have been involved by his want of foresight in framing his measure, and pleads that as a reason for not relieving the Coventry trade from a grievance, which he fully admits to be unjust. Of course, all this is intended as a preface to a renewed proposal in thenext Ses sion to repeal the paper duties , which would and it would be the best remedy in many respects, beyond removing from the statute-book the last law inflicting Excise regulutions upon an important branch of manufacture. "But is there more hope or chance of this mea sure passing the next Session ? Our expenditure will have been greater, our revenue I sadly fe ar less, than has been calculated, and the probability is we ma y be compelled, by the public necessities, rather to augment than reduce taxation. When the question of reduction comes, the poor will have 7118 NAVY. The flag officers' good service pension, vacant by the death of Admiral the Earl of Dundonald, G.C.8., has been bestowed upon Admiral Sir Ed ward D. King, K.C.H. A flag officer's good service pension has become in the gift of the Lords of the Admiralty by the demise ;of Admiral Sir C. Napier, K.C.B. Capt. H. M. Denham, now commanding her Majesty's ship Herald, is to have the captain's good service pension vacant by the promotion of Capt. T. M. C. Symonds, C. 8., to flag rank. Yesterday the Royal Commissioners of Fortifica tions arrived at Chatham by the first train from London, and embarked at the Strood pier on board the paddlewheel steamer Fearless, tender to the Cumberland, 70, which had been especially placed at the service of the Commissioners by Admiral Hope Johnstone, Commander-in-Chief at the Nore. The Fearless proceeded at once down the river to Shoeburyness, where the Commissioners landed, and were engaged for some time in the inspection of the works of defence recently erected in that locality, and after transacting some other business returned to Chatham in the afternoon. Mr. S. Whitbread, M.P., one:of the Lords of the Admiralty, yesterday paid an official visit of in spection to Woolwich dockyard, and transacted business with the Commodore Superintendent of the Yard, the Hon.

She contains supernumeraries for her Majesty's ships now fitting at Sheerness. In accordance with Admiralty instructions, the screw steam vessel Zebra, of 17 guns, will be launched at Deptford dockyard, on the 16th inst. The Danish screw frigate Sjvelland, 30 guns, Capt. Ipsen, sailed from Spithead yesterday, for Cadiz and the Brazils. The Ariel, 9, screw, Commander Alexander, steamed out of Portsmouth harbour on Wednesday, and anchored at Spithead. Yesterday she was under weigh examining machinery. The Gorgon, 6, paddle, Commander B. C. Pim, swung yesterday in Portsmouth harbour for the adjustment of her compasses. Orders have been received for her departure to theiChops of the Channel, to look out for her Majesty's ship Hero, and to relieve the homeward-bound. She was ex pected to sail at daylight this morning. The Euryalus, 51, screw, Capt. J. W. Tarleton, C. 8., will, on her arrival at Portsmouth from the Cape of Good Hope, turn over the officers and crew to the Immortalite, 51, screw, in the first•elass of the steam reserve at the port. The new screw steam sloop, Desperate, 8, Com mander T. F. Ross, got up steam at her moorings in Hamoaze, to try her machinery on Wednesday afternoon, and again yesterday (Thursday) morn ing, when she went into Plymouth Sound. Her powder is on board, and she is receiving coal from the floating depot, preparatory to sailing for the West Indies. The screw steam corvette Jason, 21, 400-horse power, in the first-class steam ordinary at Devon port, is ordered to be prepared for the pendant. The lighter Hamoaze, Thos. Webber master, at Devonport, is laden with stores and ready to sail for Pembroke dockyard. Most of the stragglers from the port division of the Channel Squadron have gone on board the screw steam-frigate Emerald, 51, Capt. Arthur Cumming, in Plymouth Sound, preparing to fol low Admiral Stopford to Lisbon. The screw steam gunvessel Viper, 4, was removed yesterday from the upper moorings in Hamoa.ze to the west shore. The riggers of the Devonport dockyard have com pleted the =sting of the screw steam frigate Nar• cissus, 51, in Keyham basin. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—S.

Captain Mercer's battery Royal Artillery, under orders for New Zealand, will sail from the Royal Arsenal pier, Woolwich, according to present ar rangements, on the 17th of the present month. An escort was yesterday despatched from head quar ters to Fort Clarence and the various military pri sons in which men belonging to the battery are at present under confinement, for the purpose of col lecting the entire force of the battery in rer idiness for departure. The total number ordered for embar kation consists of Captain Mercer and four other officers, 214 men, 22 women, and their child ren. fly private letters received at Chatham fr am offi cers serving in China in the battalion of Royal Marines under the command of Lieut.-Col, J.

Yesterday afternoon an influential meeting of gentlemen interested in the Volunteer Movement was held at Willis's Rooms, for the purpose of tak ing steps to organise a troop of Arounted Riflemen for the metropolis; Lord Keane in the chair. Among those present were Lord Truro, Sir J. V. Mr. W. F. Byng, M r . B owen May, Shelley, M.P., Lieut. Camplin, Major Richardson, and others. The Chairman briefly opened the proceedings by stating that the meeting had. been called for the purpose of taking measures to form regiments of Volunteer cavalry in the metropolis. Lord Truro then said it had appeared to him for a considerable time that the requirements of the country were not met by the regiments of Volnnteer infantry and artillery already enrolled. He had waited for some time in hopes that cavalry corps would be established and organised. Some gentlemen had commenced to esta blish cavalry corps, but their success was only par tial. Himself and some other gentlemen had, therefore, taken steps to organise a regiment of cavalry worthy of this great city. He looked to the meeting for aid in raising a corps that would do credit to the city of London. He was well aware of the difficulties that lay in the way of every new scheme. The Volunteers were not ambitious, and did not aspire to a large command ; but it was not so with him. In the event of these corps being esta blished he hoped he should have the command of a large corps. In order to establis'a these troops ho had gone over the map, and proposed that the me tropolis should be divided into six districts, a troop to be raised in each district. He was confident that a fine regiment might be established. The first feature of the volunteer movement was the display of unanimity; he was sorry to say that in some corps there was a want of that. If the corps should be established he should look for unanimous co operation on the part of all. He should expect that any gentleman, while not surrendering his own opinion, should be willing to give way in some measure to the wishes of the majority. With re spect to the equipment, most of our regular cavalry were armed in such a manner as to be utterly use less. They did not want to go to the extreme either by adopting some novel plan of equipment, or by adopting the old antiquated system. That and other minor questions he thought ought to be left to the management of the committee. la forming the regiment he wished to avail himself of the services of every man in the British army. He proposed that three gentlemen from each district should form an acting committee for the manage ment of each troop. The expense of joining at first would not be considerable. It was important that the corps should be out of debt, for no man would like to take the command of a corps in debt. The whole expense for each troop would be about £3OO a year, and if the troops wore established in all the districts it would be expedient to reduce the amount of the subscription from £5 to £3. After some further remarks, he concluded by expressing a hope that the meeting would support the formation of the corps. Major Richardson advocated the for mation of a body of irregular cavalry. He said it took from six to nine months for a dragoon to ride properly. Gentlemen could not find the time, even if they had the inclination to undergo that. They had better use the ordinary hunting saddle. They ought to be able to form a splendid body of irregular cavalry in the metropolis, as 3,000 out of London go hunting. Lord Truro then moved : —" That this meeting, seeing the progress now made by the infantry and artillery volunteer forces of the metropolis, is of opinion that the time has now arrived for raising a cavalry force in conjunction with it." Sir J. Shelley, in seconding the motion, said London was left defenceless, and they were now forming a body of cavalry to defend it. The motion was;then carried. The chairman moved the following resolution :—" That this meet ing pledges itself to use its best endeavours to raise a Volunteer Cavalry force for the metropolis, and. that a committee be formed to carry it into effect." Mr. Bowen May having seconded the motion, it was carried. Several names were enrolled, includ ing the chairman, and the meeting separated. The proposal to form a London Welsh corps has received great support from many of the leading families of the Principality. Sir W. W. Wynn, M.P., will preside at a public meeting which is to bo held on Wednesday next to take the necessary measures for commencing operations. The Gravesend Artillery Volunteers (Ist Kent), to the number of 100, visited Sheerness yesterday, for the purpose of practice at heavy gun drill. They were accompanied by Colonel Gladdish, Captains Rosher and Sharland, Captain and Adjutant Brooks, Lieuts. Hilders, Troughton, and Bryant, besides other officers of the corps. On their arrival they im mediately proceeded to the centre Bastion on the fortifications, headed by their well-trained band, whence they fired 80 rounds of shot and 20 cannon shell at a floating target, which was anchored in the river. The aim and precision of the fire was somewhat extraordinary , by both th sh e ot taarngdetshQt, andavin having completely be enrePeatecilYh shattered to pieces.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec.
