A RETIRED PHYSICIAN, whose sands of life have nearly run out, discovered while in the East Indies a certain cure for Consumption, Asthma, Bronchitis, Coughs, Colds, and General Debility. The remedy was discovered by him when his only child, a daughter, was given up to die. He had heard much of the wonderful restorative and healing qualities of prepara tions made from the East India Hemp, and the thought occurred to him that he might make a remedy for his child. He studied hard, and succeeded in realising his wishes. His child was cured, and is now alive and well. He has since administered the wonderful re medy to thousands of sufferers in all parts of the world, and he has never failed in making them completely healthy and happy.

Payne, the coroner, held an inquest in the Board-room of St. George's Work house, on the body of a fine full-grown infant, which was found on Sunday morning, in West square, Southwark. Wm. Ratcliffe, of 33, Bird-street, Kennington road, said, as he was passing through West square, at about 10 o'clock on Sunday morning, his atten tion was called by a man to a parcel which was lying a short way up a gateway, between Nos. 18 and 19 in that square. The man opened the cloth, when he discovered that it contained the body of a child. He immediately went for a po liceman, and the body was taken to the station house. Police-constable George Marsh, 238 M, proved being sent fo-, and said he took the body to the station-house. Joseph R. Reckstraw, sergeant of police, said he had made inquiries of all the surgeons in the neigh bourhood, but could not trace any party to whom the child belonged. The body was found in a very retired place. Mr. T. G. Browne, surgeon, Blackman-st., said he had that morning seen the child, and it appeared to him to have been born two or three days. There was a mark of violence on the front part of the neck, as if from pressure against the throat. He could trace the mark of fingers. The navel-string had never bec n secured, and it had been torn, not cut, about four or five inches from the body. The child appeared to have been washed. On opening the body he found the lungs fully inflated and very much congested. The brain was also very con gested, and the stomach contained a little milk. The liver was also congested. The Coroner —What was the cause of death I' Witness—Congestion of the brain and lungs. The Coroner—and what was the cause of that ? Witness —Pressure on the throat. It died from suffocwion. Coroner—Do you entertain any doubt about that? Witness—None whatever. Coroner—lt was not a natural death ? Witness—No ; it was not. Coroner—Can you judge how long it had lived previous to Its death ? - Witness—No ; I cannot. The lungs were fully inflated, but how long► it had lived I cannot say. A Juror—Was it otherwise a very healthy child ? Witness—lt was so. The Coroner then addressed the jury and said— If it was their wish he would adjourn the inquiry, if they thought by so doing they could obtain any further evidence, but at present there did not seem much chance of it. If, however, they did not ad journ, they had the benefit of the surgeon's evidence that the child had been suffocated, and as the police would pursue their inquiries, if any person was apprehended who should be supposed to have mur dered this child, then a magistrate could take up the case, and he would have the benefit of the sur geon's evidence, which had been placed on record. Ho therefore, left the case in the hands of the jury for them to consider under the circumstances what course they would pursue. The jury returned a verdict, " That tho child died from suffocation, but in what manner and by whom there was no evidence to show." This is the second case of child suffocation in this district within a few days.

NEW YORK, Dec. 9, 1357. —Praise the cities of America, admire the greatne>s and wealth of the country, extol the enterprise and "go-aheadativeness" of the people, or expatiate on the glorious future before the Republic, and there is a class of persons who reply to your enthusiasm with a sneer, and assert that they have "heard all that sort of thing before," and "can stand a great deal of it" without evil consequences to their health or indigertion. But if, on the other hand, the stranger, in the exercise of his independent judgment, presume to disapprove or condemn anything in the man ners of the people, or hint a doubt as to the perfect wis dom of any one of their social or political institutions, these porcupines raise their quills, and grow exceedingly angry. To them optimism or pessimism, or the medium between the two, is equally distasteful. No matter how honest may be the praise or how gi ntle the expression of disapproval, they do not like it. They seem to sus pest all praise to be a sham or a mockery, and to feel all dispraise to be an insult and an outrage. In these respects they differ from an Englishman, all of whom can bear with the most patient equanimity the rubs that would almost drive such sensitive Americans out of their wits. It must be confessed, ho wever, that more reflective Amer cans, who have seen the world and are more assured of the strength and position in the world of their mighty Republic, take things snore easily ; accept praise as their due, in the same generous sgrit in which it is offered ; and endeavour to learn wisdom from the criticism of people who cross the Atlantic to see, hear and judge for them selves. Even if they do not agree with these critic?, they have philosophy and common sense enough to be undisturbed by it, even when it seems to be hostile. In describing the aspects of hotel life in New York and in the other great cities of America, as they have impressed me, it is possible th a t I ma y i ncur th e dis pleasure of those who hold that the "thing of America" should, like the "cosas de Espana," be kept sacred from all foreigners, as things which they cannot under stand, and which they must not touch upon except under the penalty of ridicule or misrepresentation of motives. Nevertheless, if my judgment be imperfect, it shall at all events be honest ; and, as regards this particular question of betel life, there are many thou sands of estimable and reflecting men and women in America who, I feel confident, will agree with me in the estimate I form of it. The hotels in the great cities of America—in New York, Philadtlphia ' Baltimore, W as hi ng t on , N ew Orleans, Chic ago , Boston, &c.—are conducted on a peculiar system, and in a style of much magnificence. The British ieles possess no good caravanssraie. Even the monster Hotel de Louvre in Paris is not to be compared with such establishments as the St. Nicholas, the Metropolitan, the Laffarge House, the Astor House, and many others in New York. Some of them make up a thousand beds ; and others from five to six and seven hundred. The country is so immense, the distances from point to point are so great—such as from New Orleans to Boston, or from New York to Chicago and the Far West ; the activity of commerce is so incessant, and its ramifications so extensive, that a much larger class of people than with us is compelled by business, public and private, to be continually upon the move. Large hotels are, therefore, of positive necessity ; and, were they solely confined to travellers, would deserve the praise of being, what they really are, the finest, most convenient, and best administered hotels in the world. It is not their fault, that they have, in the course of time, and by the force of circumstances, been devoted to other uses, and that they have become the permanent homes of families, instead of remaining the temporary residence of strangers, For a fixed charge of two dollars and a half a day (about ten shillings and sixpence English) the traveller has a comfortable bed-room, the use of a drawing-room, dining-room, reading-room, and smoking-room, and the full enjoyment of a liberal tariff, or bill of fare, for breakfast, luncheon, dinner, tea, and supper. Two dollars and a halt include ad charges for s-rvants and every charge whatever that can be fivrly included under the head of board and lodging, except wine, beer, and spirits. Being well lighted with gas, there is no charge for wax lights—that flaring pretext for extortion in England. The cookery is in general excellent. The breakfast is bounteous, and is spread from eight o'clock till twelve, between which hours fish, flesh, and fowl, fresh meat and salt meat, eggs, omelettes, wheaten bread, rye bread, coin bread, corn cakes, rice cakes and buckwheat cakes (the last a far greater delicacy than England can show) are liberally distributed. From twelve o'clock to two the luncheon is spread with equal profusion; and from two to six there is a succession of dinners, the getting up of which, at such hotels as the St. Nicholas, the Metropolitan, or the AstorHouse,would do credit to Mr. Francatelli of the Reform Club. As soon as dinner is over, tea commences, and as soon as tea is cleared away, the cloths are cleared for supper, so that from eight in the morning till midnight there is one continual succession of feasts, at which Governors of States, members of Congress, Judges, Generals, ex- Presidents of the Republic, the magnates of commerce and the law, and all the miscellaneous and less distin• guished public, male and female, sit down to partake. Whether the traveller do ordo not partake is the same to the landlord. He may eat once, twice, thrice, or all day long, if he pleases. The price is two dollars and a half, even if he should take all his meals abroad. If ladies and families prefer to have apartments of their own, the pie° for lodgings varies from three to five or ten dol lars a day, according to the extent or elegance of accom modation required. In like manner the board of each individual, supplied in a private apartment, is raised from two and a half to four dollars per diem. The con sequence is that very few people board in their private rooms, and that nearly all breakfast, dine, and sup in public, except the very young cbildrer, for whose con venience there is a separate table d'hote. It will thus be seen that for the travelling community these hotels are very comfortable, very luxurious, very cheap, and very lively. In consequence of the great difficulty that private families experience in procuring cooks and housemaids in a country where menial service is considered somewhat beneath the dignity of a native born American, where service is called " help," to avoid wounding the susceptibility of free citizens, and left almost exclusively to negroes and the newly-imported Irish, who too commonly, more especially the female portion of them, know nothing whatever, or exceedingly little of any household duties, and whose skill in cookery scarcely extends to the boiling of a potato, the mistresses of families keeping house on their own account lead but an uncomfortable life. In England the newly-married couple take a house, furnish it, and live quietly at home. In the cities of America for the rule does not apply to the rural districts —they take apartments at the hotel, and live in public, too glad to take advantage of the ready means whi c h i t affords of escape from the nuisances attendant upon i ne ff icient, incomplete, and insolent ser vice. The young w if e finds herself relieved from all the cares and miseries an d responsibilities of housekeeping, and has nothing to think of b u t d ress , v i s iti n g, reading, and amusement. Brides who begin married life in hotels often conti nue i n them from youth to maturity and age, without possessing the inestimable advan tage and privilege of any more secluded home. To those who know nothing of domestic affairs, and to those who are willing to attend to them, but cannot procure proper " help" i n their household, the hotel system is equally well adapted. It saves trouble, an noyance, and expense ;—but at what a cost of the domestic amenities ! Perhaps not above one-half of the people who Jail sit d own to dinner in these superb establishments erma n e ntresi d eti artes travellers._bue b a n dO, wives,The r e a m n d a n , To eat in public now and then may be desirable; but for ladies to take all their meals e very d ay, an d a ll th e year round, in the full glar e o f publicity ; to be always rare permanent re children. p Lull dressed ; to associate dully—almost hourly—with strangers from every part of America and of the world ; to be, if young and handsome, the cynosure of all idle and vagrant eyes, either at the table d'hote or in the public drawing-room ;—these are certainly not the charm of w e dd e d lif e .

Perhaps f ast people may consider such objectio ns to savour of " old s ' 'whale. net • The system is peculiar to America, end, therefore, strike s t h e attent i on more forcibly fogyism than if it were commo n to the civilised world. It is, doubtless, more the misfortune than the fault of American families that they live so much in this style; for, without good servants who know their duty, and are not too supercilious and saucy to perform it, it is impossible for a lady, without shortening her life and making herself worse than a slave, to have a comfortable and happy home, or to govern it with pleasure or advan tage either to herself or her family- Recently the New York and Philadelphia newspapers h ave beers filled with the details of two scandalous cases— one en di ng i n a tragedy—of which a New York and a Phil a d e l p hi a hotel were the scenes ;—and in both of which the fair fame of ladies was sacrificed. To these painful exposures it is not necessary to make further allusion ; but they are so fresh in the public recollection that they cannot be passed over, even in this cursory glance at some of the evils attendant upon the undue publicity of female life in such monster hotels as I have endeavoured to describe. To all the hotels is attached an es t a bli s h ment k nown as the "bar," where spirituous liquors are re t a il e d un d er a nomenclature that puz z les the stranger, and takes a long acquaintanceship with American life and manners to become familiar with. Gin -sling, brandy- sm ash, whisky-skin, streak of lightning, cock-tail, and rum salad are but a few of the names of the drinks which are consumed at the bar, morning, noon, and night, by persons who in a similar rank of life i n E ng l an d wou ld no more think of going into a gin -shop than of robbing the Bank. • Fancy a gin-palace under the roe: of, ac , j attached to, tht, Reform el h cud —..., .re3 not only- to the members but to the world with:.ut, and b,•,t.lt classta largely avaiiing themselves of it to think and smoke, both by day and by night, ar.d you will ha able to fora: SOILEB conception of the " bar" of an American bottl, and of the class of people who frequent it.

C. M. LETTERS FROM INDIA. The following► interesting communication is from a gentleman in India : Calcutta, Nov. 23, 1857. The present mail conveys to England the gratifying intelligence of the relief of the besieged at Lecknow. and of the safety of tine women and children, a full account of which is given in the newspapers. The official despatches giving the detaiis of the operations have not been received yet, or at all events they have not been published, and therefore all that is known is the result aohieved at Lucknow, and that at a comparatively small loss of officers, the return showing only four killed and 29 wounded. Highly satisfactory as this news ie, yet it is the only cheering information that the present steamer takes to England, for although thus far victo►ious, the whole of Lucknow was up to the 20th not in our posses. sion, and it is expected that our troops will yet have a good deal to do until the whole of the town is subdued, unless, indee4, the rebels should take to flight, which would be a great pity, as in that case they are sere to assemble again in other parts of the kingdom, and thus require another pursuing column to hunt thorn down. Tee fact is, that though Lucknow must soon fill, it will have but little effect upon the etete of Oude, as there are so many strongholds to which the rebels can retire ; and as they muster in very strong numbers, no effectual steps can be taken against thorn by Sir Cohn Campbell until considerab:y reinforced. It must not he overlooked that almost every place throughout Oude has been strongly fortified by the rebels—that each of these forts must be knocked down ; and considering the areal extent of the country, it must take a considerable force to achieve that result. European troops are fast arriving, and pushe Fon with the utmost rapidity that the limited means of convey ance will allow; but still, though troops are now sent forward at the rate of 400 men a day, all these will not be available fer the campaign in Oude alone, as it will be necessary to place strong forces for the protection of Allahabad and Ca aupore, which are threatened by the mutineers of Gwalior. The arch-fiend, Nana Sahib, has again made his escape, and is assembling a very formidable force. It is said be has 20,000 men of his own, with 24 artillery pieces, and the Gwalior rebels, numbering 40,000 men, with fifty heavy cannon, have placed themselves under the orders of tire Nana. In addition to this force there is the famous traitor, Doer Singh, with a large force, both cavalry and artillery, so that altogether there cannot be less than 100,000 men in arms against Were this force to meet us on open field, even double their number would not cause us the least anxiety ; hut as they divide themselves in several parties, and threaten as on several points—namely, Mirzapore, Allahabad, and Cawnpore —we are unable anywhere to concentate a sufficient force to effectually check them ; and even if we kill 100 men to each five we lose, the loss will tell more on our part than on theirs. Tae great drawback under which we are labouring is the want of kufficient cavalry, no that we have no means of pursuing the rebels, who, after unsuc cessful opposition, generally disperse, and some weeks after reassemble in another place, when we have to attack them again ; and to thi s sor t f warfare we shall have to apply ourselves until the greater portion of our forces arrive. Iu fact, our general position c tnuot be considered to have improved much, and although some of the districts are perfectly quiet, yet there is a feel ing of uneasiness which prevails everywhere where no European troops are stationed. We are completely left in the dark as to what is going on at Delhi, and the public is actually left in ignorance whether there is a sufficient force left there to protect the city. The latest accouoti received from that quarter have roused public indignation about the mistaken leniency shown to the King and his vassals by the officer in command, who, of course, must act under the order of Government. Our brave soldiers said their wives and poor children h ,ye been murdered there in •-• cold blood, and their mutilated remains call for venge ance and retribution upon the villanous as,aseins ; yet Government will not hear to the voice of the public, and hence the feeling against Lord Canning and his ad visers is very strong. Hai we had a man of proper energy and ability at the head of affairA the rebellion would never have been so widely spread ; but when it was our policy to have rec)urse to stern measures, and s•rrke terror into the hearts of our enemies, we tried the means of reconciliation by absurd proclamations, which bore evidence to our weakness, and showed a total ignorance of the actual state of affairs. Indeed, never was there a Government that knew so little of what war going on, and so thorough:y unprepared for restoring order. Had it not been for the electric telegraph, India by this time would have been wrested from us. Had Lord Dalhousie been here, matters would never have come to an extreme crisis, for he was a man of energy, and always ready to act promptly, without having reference to the advice of his secretaries. Of course, even he has his share of enemiep, yet all admit tkat he is vastly superior to Lord Canning. After repeated urging the Government have at last consented to have a great military review. This took place yesterday, and comprised about 4,000 men of her Majesty's troops, consisting of Riflemen, Highlanders, and regular infantry, together with the Calcutta Infantry Volunteer Guards. The sight was extremely pleasing, and its moral effect upon 80,000 natives who witnessed it cannot be mistaken. When the Highlanders charged the whole of the natives ran as if they were to be at tacked. As usual on all military reviews, Lord Canning, instead of being in uniform, appeared in a plain civil dress, though at last he has so much improved in man ners that at all events he had a black hat on instead of a white one. An attempt was made to cheer his lordship, but it was quickly subdued by some one calling out that the life of the King of Delhi was still spared. Calcutta was never so dull as at present. Though the cold season has set ia, and the weather is particularly fine, no gaieties of any kind take place, as nearly one half of the population is in mourning, almost every one having to bemourn the loss of some relative or friend. Only at Government House the usual dinner parties anti music continue, perhaps to drown the pricks of con science at the mismanagement that emanated from the Council Chamber. The guests are, however, chiefly people from the service, who must go, for I think that there are very few out of the service who would, under present circumstances, accept an I avitation of Lord Canning. THE POLICY OF PARAGUAY. OPENING OF THE RIO BERMEJO. An impression prevails in this country, among those not well informed on the subject, that the Government of Paraguay is opposed to the development of the national resources by means of foreign trade, and to the opening up to the commerce of the world the numerous rivers which flow through that republic to the Rio Plata. Nothing can be m o re erroneous th an thi s idea, as is fully demonstrated by the late correspondence between President Lopez and the Directors of the Society for the Navigation of the Rio Bermejo. The project of the society was submitted to the Paraguayan Government, and its co-operation sought in aid of the enterprise. President Lopez, in his reply, assured the directors that he regarded the realisation of the plan as a great and beneficial event For all the ccuntries bordering on the Bermejo, and would give it all the support in his power, conformably with the treaty of July, 1856, between Paraguay and the Argentine Confederation. The navigation of the Ber mejo fie, by that treaty, common to the flags of both republics, and the ascent of the river has already been made by an Argentine merchant steamer. The support promised by President Lopez to the project for promoting the navigation will be a new corrobora tion of the principles which served as the basis of the treaty. The Government of Bolivia being equally de sirous of the opening of the rivers, its only port at pre sent being situated on the west coast, there can be no doubt that ere long the vast and teeming inland regions of South America will be free to the shipping and com merce of all nations. The Berreejo puts Paraguays in communication with the extensive provinces of Salta, Jujui, and Tucuman; and there are good reasons for believing that the Pilcomavo is na vigable • into the heart of Bolivia. The in terior of the republic is, in fact, interlaced all over with navigable streams, which flow into the great fluvial artery after which the territory is named, sad which vessels of 200 tens can ascend to Cuiaba, the capital of the Brazilian province of Matto Grosso. The advan tages to be derived by the inhabitants from the opening of these rivers are incalculable, as they would be en abled to exchange their tobacco, cotton, sugar, indigo, hides, &c., for the manufactures of Europe. The past con duct of President Lopez, in his courteous reception of the late Sir C. Hotham, in the negociation of the A nglo-Para guayan treaty, and in the mission of his accomplished son, Brigadier-General Lopez, to the courts of England and Fiance, forbid the jdea that so desira ble a boon will long be withheld. But, at the same time, it must be borne in mind, in reference to other negociations now pending with regard to river navigation, that Paraguay has the same right to courteous treatment and I the observances prescribed by diplomatic eti quette as the most powerful maritime nation, a n d it cannot be expected that President Lopez w ill submit to he bullied without exhibiting a natural resent. ment. His remote and isolated position does not shut him out from a just recognition of what is due to others, nor does it render him insensible to what is due to himself. A little more knowledge on these heads would prevent some very absurd mistakes which certain people on both sides of the Atlantic fall into when they talk about Paraguay and its affairs.

Orders have been forwarded to the commanding officer of the 2d battalion sth Foot (Northumber land Fusiliers), to hold the corps in readiness for service ; the,battalion numbers 1,000 bayonets, and is in an efficient state, and at present quartered at Newcastle-on-Tyne and Tynemouth Castle. The destination of the battalion is understood to be Malta, to relieve the 71st Highland Light Infantry, under orders to proceed overl .nd to India. A gunner of the 9th battalion, Royal Artillery, named James Sdrridge, was yesterday morning flogged in the riding school at Woolwich in accord ance with a sentence pronounced by garrison calve martial, held on the Ist inst., at which he was found guilty of robbing a young recruit of the sum of 17s. Gl. In addition to the corporal punishment the prisoner, who is an old offender, and what is termed " a marked man," was condemned to 112 days' confinement in one of her Majesty's gaols. While undergoing a former sentence of 84 days' confinement in Fort Clarence, the prisoner, who can neither read nor write, caused a letter to be indited to the commandant, setting forth his sin cere penitence for his past conduct, promising to become a reformed man, and earnestly entreating a remission of the remainder of kis imprisonment. His petition was not, however, granted, and a few days after his liberati on (only on Christmas-day last) the robbery of his comrade was perpetrated. A short time ago he deserted to the 99th Regi ment of the Lino, and had no sooner received the bounty and a supply of clothing than he decamped from that: regiment also. Raving been speedily traced and brought back, lie acknowledged his de sertion from the Royal Artillery, was imprisoned, and ‘iranded in the side with the letter D. Being now pronounced irreclaimable, on the termination of his confinement ho will be dismissed the service w e T re h e y e w s t h e o r l d e ay o f ri t , n i t n r with ignominy.

We are authorised to state that the report of the death of Lieut. Bateman, 64th Regiment, has not been confirmed, and that there is no reason to doubt that he is now alive and well. The following appointments were made yes day at the Admiralty : Lieutenant—George Todd, to the Urgent. Masters--F. Williams (additional), to the Fisgard ; J. G. Wingford (additional), to the Fisgard. Second Master—J. D. Switzer, to the Edinburgh REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE UNITED STATES' NAVY. (Front the TVashington Union. ) The first report from the Navy Department, under the administration of Mr. Toucey, is strictly a business d curnent, presenting a condensed, yet complete, history of naval operations during the past year, and offering various suggestions to pro mote its efficiency and usefulness. The country feels an honest pride in the navy, originating with its achievements in defence of the honour and glory of the Republic, and that pride is not diminished when prevailing peace confines its services to less brilliant but not less useful duties. Its past his tory vindicates the a sertion that it has always been equal to the public emergency, and this report con tains assurances that its condition now is more effi cient and its preparation for active service more complete than at any former period. Mr. Toucey has given close attention to that arm of the public defeucl which Mr. Buchanan has placed in his charge, and we anticipate for his continued efforts towards its improvement the unanimous applause of the public. The home squadron consists of the steam frigates Wabash and Roanoke, the sloops of war Saratoga and Cyane, and the war steamers Susquehanna and Fulton. These vessels, with the exception of the Cyane, are now on the coast of New Granada and Costa Rica, the unsatisfactory state of affairs in those countries rendering the presence cf an in creased naval force necessary to protect American interests. The Cyane has been despatched to Cape Haytien to the relief of au American vessel and two seamen, sized upon suspicion by the Haytien Go vernment. The Pacific squadron consisted during the year of the frigate independence, the sloops St. Mary, John Adams, and Decatur, and the war steamer Massachusetts. The Independence and Massachu setts have been recently put out of commission, and the John Adams ordered home. The commander of the St. Mary visited San Juan del Sur, and aided ' Gen. Walker and the Americans with him to escape from Nicaragua. Subsequently she visited Jarvis and New Nantucket islands to investigate the quantity of their guano deposits. Nothing resem bling guano was found at either of those islands. The squadron will be reinforced by the steam fri gates Merrimac and Saranac, and the sloop Van dalia, now on their way to the Pacific side. The Mediterranean squadron consists of the fri gate Congress and sloop Constellation. The steam frigate Susquehanna was detached from the squa dron, and after assisting in the attempt to lay . down the Atlantic submarine telegraph cable, she joined the home squadron. The St. Lawrence, Falmouth, and Germantown composed the Brazil squadron. The last-named vessel has returned home, and the brig Perry will be despatched in her place. A sufficient force has been maintained on the African coast to accomplish its main object, being the observance of the obligations we are the by the treaty with England of August 9, 1842, for East Indi a squa d ron suppression Thee l o s f c t o h s m e p o lave sn g t t a n d e e. have been the San Jacinto, the Portsmouth, and Levant. The latter v esse l has been ordered home, t but the squadron will be reinforced by the steam frigates Minnesota' Mississipp i , an d Powhatan, and the sloop Germantown, now on their way out. An insult havi ng been offered to the American flag by the Cantonese the squadron attacked the Barrier f t o h r e t m s, r 4 az i i n ngti r number,he mounting 176 guns, and took walls to the ground. These were the strongest defences cf the Chinese empire, and commanded the approach to Canton. The Preble, the practice ship of the Naval Aca demy, made the usual summer cruise with two classes of the acting midshipmen. The Susquehanna and Niagara formed a part of the expedition to lay down the Atlantic cable. A cruise of the ordnance ship Plymouth was made during the summer to test the practicability of managing the heaviest kind :of ordnance at sea. The experiments were satisfactory, and justify the extension of this plan of armament.

DEPORT OF THE ANIERICAN SECRE- T ALT OF . WAR. (Front the Washington &nion.) The Report from the War I:oval-anent upon the condition of the army, fie right arm of the national defence, is always looked for with great interest not only by Close connected with that branch of the public service, but by the whole country. It is true that when peace prevails there is no opportunity for the display of its gallantry or efficiency, yet then is the proper time to perfect its organivttion, and to in troduce every improvement likely to contribute to ifs of c..,iency in time of war. Step by step this process must he accomplished. Governor Floyd does not content hiniF,elt with a narration of whit the army has accomplished during the past year, but throws out numerous suggestions, indicates several steps, the adoption of which may conduce to the great end de fired. He has evidently FS t died the interests of the army with much care, and the country will applaud his efforts to give to it greater efficiency by a thorough and more complete organ,- The report commences by stating generally the a lequacy of the army to perform the indispensa ble services required of it by the Government. The whole strength of the army as post ed consistsof about 17,984 men ; the actual strength on the Ist of July last was 15,764. They are required to garrison 68 forts of a large and permanent character, and to cc eupy 70postslesspermanently establi s h e d. They are spread over au area of 3,000,00 G square miles. From our western frontier of settlement to those of northern Oregon the distance is 1 ; 800 miles ; from the same frontier to the settlement of California, via Salt Lake, is 1,800 miles ; from the frontier of Arkansas to Fort Tejon is about 1,700 miles ; and from San Antonio to San Diego is 1,400 lace, constituting an aggregate line of 6,700 miles, which ought to be occupied, and which the department undertakes to keep open. This duty cannot be performed by any other agency than that of the army, and au addi tion to the military force is recommended of five regiments. The army now consists of 19 regiments, divided into 10 of infantry, 4 of artillery, 2 of dragoons, 2 of cavalry, and 1 of mounted riflemen. The army has been very actively and constantly engaged in the performance of arduous and im portant duties. During the spring one regiment of infantry and one of artillery were employed in Florida. Subsequently affairs demanded the removal of these regiments to the Territory of K., ns ,s, and their place was supplied by volun inion o s s e f , c concentrated npGs were ti t li e ll 7 ri s se . stiF loffir ck e r i n , nn o ts t a, h i e ,i r jui t i t t ih a l r e t a o likewise, ov r nor, to repress all insubordination and to insure the peace of the Territory. This movement, how ever, necessitated a very important modification of the plans that had been determined upon with regard to the military expedition to Utah. The report then details the attit ode of affairs in Utah, and the extraordinary exercise of powers usurped by the individual who styles himself the Prophet of the Mormons. From the first hour they fixed themselves in that remote and almost inacces sible region of our Wintery their whole plan has been to prepare for a successful secession from the autho rity of the United States, and a permanent estab lishment of their own. Of late years it is believed they have instigated the Indians to hostilities against our citizens, and have excited among the Indian tribes a feeling of insubordination and discontent. The United States have carefully avoided a collision with the Mormon community. New officers for the Territory having been recently appointed, a body of troops was ordered to accompany them, merely to establish these functionaries in t heir proper offices. In reply to the assurances given the Mormons of the real intention of the Government, Brigham Young issued his proclamation, substantially declaring war against the United States. - Various impiovements in the organisation of the staff are suggested. The separate independent cha racter of the staff corps is an error. Another defect is the uncertain and ill-defined rights of brevet rank. Promotion by seniority is another fault. It is pro posed to collect all the officers doing staff duty into one corps, to be assigned, by authority of the Pre sident, to such duties as e tch may seem to be best fitted for, also to dispense with the staff bureaus, and give the President authority to transfer officers to and from the line and staff. Promotion to the rank of captain might be governed by the rule of seniority, but beyond that by selection from the next grade in the same aim to that to be filled. The Secretary reiterates the recommendations of his predecessor to prepare for infirm and disabled officers a compaent and tranquil retreat, and for the unworthy a substantial dismissal from the ser vice. A plan in detail is submitted. Attention is called to the report of the General in-Ceief, and especially to the plan suggested therein of regimental depots for recruiting. The surveys of the different routes fora railroad to the Pacific have been completed and the results published. All competent judges agree that the route from El Paso to the Colorado, besides being the shortest of all yet surveyed, possesses very de cide I advantages over others in several important particulars. Two expeditions have been fitted out expressly to explore tracts of country hitherto wholly una known. The first was sent to the north-west, be yond the waters of the Upper Missouri ; the other is engaged in exploring the Colorado of the West. The various military roads in charge of the War Department are progressing satisfactorily. On the one from Fort Defiance to the mouth of the Mo jave river an experiment was made with 35 camels to test the efficioucy of these animals as beasts of burden and transportation through the barren and difficult country of the great mountain range sepa rating the Mississippi valley from the Pacific Ocean. The experiment is likely to be entirely successful. Several military reservations having become use less The mili tary to the department, have been sold. offered for sale; the sum offered for it was deemed less than its value, and the property was conse quently w ithdrawn. subjectur of o smallnati national rniaials defences e t n h c e e t s w t o he nationalrepo report The importance of a national foundry is strongly asylum at Harrodsburg, Kentucky,. has been urge d ; every consideration . of sound policy and econom y demands its establishment. the e u fac t a rmouries continues, and arms are fabricated of the most superior quality.

The report explains at some length the causes of the large expenditures in the Quartermaster-Gene ral's Department, being attributable to the extent and character of the country uver which the opera tions of the army have extended.
