By F. B. COURTENAY, And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the Cure of Strictures of the Urethra. " This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures a 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, Deo.

Victor llngo's speech at the meeting at Jersey on Thursday last : Gentlemen,—l respond to your appeal. Where ever a tribune in the cause of liberty is erected, and calls to me, there am I. It is in truth my instinct and my duty. The truth is this :—At the present hour it is permitted to no one to be indifferent to the great events which are in progress. The efforts of every man, the aid of every man, the hand of every man are demanded on behalf of the nobl3 work of universal deliverance. Not an ear should be closed —not a heart should be silent. Wherever the cry of the peoples is heard, there should be found an echo in the inmost heart of every man. He who has but a sou should give it to the liberators; he who has but a stone at hand should hurl it at the tyrants. While some may act and others speak let all be doing. Yes—all to the work! The wind is breathing—let public encouragement to the heroes be the joy of every soul. Let the multitude glow, like the furnace, with enthusiasm. Let those who cannot fight with the sword fight with the mind. Let not a single in telligence remain neutral; let not a single spirit remain inactive. Let those who are struggling in the fight feel that they are gazed on, that they are loved, that they are sustained. Let there be around that valiant man, who is standing erect there in Palermo, a fire on every mountain in Sicily—a light on every height in Europe. I have pronounced the word. The tyrants ! Have I exaggerated ? Have I calumniated the Neapolitan Government ? No words ! Here are the facts. Pay attention ! This is living history, bleeding history. The Kingdom of Naples—that kingdom which now occupies our thoughts—has but a single institution—the police. Every district has its cudgelling commission. Two sbirri—AjOssa and Manisealco--reign under the king. Ajossa cudgels Naples—Maniscalco cudgels Sicily. But the cudgel is merely a Turkish weapon. This Go vernment has, in addition, the instrument of the in quisition—torture. Yes, torture ! Listen. A sbiro, Bruno, binds the accused with the head between the legs until he confesses. Another sbiro, Pon tillo, fixes him upon an iron grating, beneath which he lights a fire. This is called the Burning Chair. Another sbiro, Luigi Maniscalco, a kinsman of the chief, has invented an instrument into which the arm or the leg of the victim is introduced ; a screw is turned, and the limb is crushed. This is called the Angelic Instrument. Another suspends a man by his hands and feet, between two walls, and then jumps upon him and dislocates his body. There are also thumb-screws for crashing the fingers, a tourniquet for pressing the head, an iron ring with a screw which almost forces the eyes out of the head. Sometimes a victim escapes. A man named Casimiro Arismano was one of these ; his wife, his sons, and his daughters were seized and placed upon the burning chair. The Cape Zafferana touches on an arid beach. To this beach the sbirri bring sacks. Each sack contains a man ; it is plunged into the water, and kept there till the man no longer moves. It is then taken out, and he is com manded to confess. If he refuse he is plunged in again. Giovanni Vienna, of Messina, expired in this manner. At Monreale an old man and his daughter were suspected of patriotism. The father died beneath the whip ; the daughter, who was pregnant, was stripped naked and flogged to death ! Gentlemen, there is a young man of 21 years of age who does these things. This young man is called Francis 11. This takes place in the country of Tiberius. Is it possible ? It is true. The date ? —lB6o—the very year in which we live. Add to this the fact of yesterday—Palermo crushed by bombshells, flooded with blood, massacred. Add again this frightful tradition of the extermination of towns, which seems the maniacal rage of a family, and which in histOry will hideously unbap tise this family and change Bourbon into Bomba. Yes, a young man of 21 commits all these deeds of darkness, Gentlemen, I declare to you that I feel myself struck with a profound pity when think ing of this miserable petty king. What horror ! It is at an age when others love, and believe, and hope, that this miserable creature tortures and kills! See what divine justice does with a wretched soul ; it replaces ali the generosities of youth and opening life with the decrepitudes and the terrors of the end; it fixes the sanguinary tradition like a chain upon prince and people ; it accumulates on the new tenant of the throne the influences of the family. And terrible things they are. Take Aggripina and Nero, take Catherine de Meaicis from Charles IX., and you would perhaps have no Nero--no Charles. At the very moment that the heir of divine right grasped the sceptre, he saw approaching those two vampires Ajossa and Maniscalco, who are known to history, and .who may be called Narcissus and Pal las, or Villeroy and Bachelier. These spectres seized on the encrowned but wretched child; Torture tells him that is government ; the bastinado declares that it is authority"; the police says—l descend from above; they show him whence he has issued; they remind him of his great grandfather Ferdinand I. —he who said that the world was governed by three F's—Festa, Farina, Forca (Holidays, Flour, and the Gallows)—they remind him of his grand father Francis I.—the man of ambushes—and of his father Ferdinand ll.—the man of grapeshot. "Would he. deny his fathers ? They prove to him that he ought to be ferocious from filial piety. He obeys ; the brutalising influence of absolute power stupefies him; and it is thus that there are mon strous children, and thus, fatally alas ! that young kings perpetrate old tyrannies. It was necessary to I deliver this people; I might almost say it was ne cessary to deliver this king. Garibaldi has taken on himself the mission. And Garibaldi—who and what is Garibaldi ? He is a man—ana nothing more; but he is a man in the sublimest acceptation of the word—the man of humanity. He is as his fellow countryman Virgil would term him, Vir. Has he an army ? No : a handful of volunteers. Has he munitions? None. Has he powder ? .A few barrels only. Has he cannon P Those of the enemy. Where then is his strength ? What causes him to conquer ? What does he bear about him? The soul of peo ples ! He goes—he runs—his march is a stream of flame; his handful of men terrify the regiments; his feeble weapons are enchanted, the bullets of his rifles check the cannon balls ; he bears with him revolution ; and from time to time in the chaos of the battle, amidst clouds and lightning, like a Homeric hero, we see behind him the goddess. However obstinate may be the resistance, this war fare is astonishing by its simplicity. It is the assault of a man upon a royalty. His swarm floats in the air around him ; women throw flowers at his feet, men fight singing, the royal army flees. The whole of this adventure is epic ; it is brilliant, formidable, and charming like an attack of bees. Behold those radiant stages of his march, and I predict to you that not one of them shall disap point him in the infallible fortxnes of the future. After Marsala—Palermo; after Palermo Mes sina ; after Messina Naples; after Naples — Rome ; after Rome—Venice ; after Venice—All. Gentlemen, this shaking of Sicily over which we now see flaming patriotism, faith, liberty, honour, heroism, and revolution eclipsing Etna this comes from God. Yes, this must be ; it is glorious that the example should be given to the world by the land of volcanoes. Oh! when the hour is come —how magnificent is a people—how admirable those rumours, that rising, that abnegation of vile interests and the baser parts of man, those women inciting their husbands and fighting by their side, those mothers crying to their sons—Forward ! that joy in rushing to arms,'in breathing—in being— that universal shout, that wide-spread flame on the horizon. Wo thought is given to becoming rich, to gold, to luxury, to pleasure, or to orgies. Shame and pride predominate. Men stand erect, the proud bearing of the head defies the tyrants; barbarity flees, despotisms crumble, consciences cast off sAliaivneerryv,a,thweitPhalrathncee in nonshasnhdaksetaonds r off tla r e ou c d r l e y sc in en t t h s e ; light of day ; th e graves open, and the dead cry one to another—Arise This is more than life, it is an ys pec i tr t aiosm i st s a csrdiat d or divine sni consoledn ebeating andof the the e heart e o f ; apotheosis.ttt hhh that o e w l i ehheroicCiNvh ! philosophica fi b ll r e e cl ati t i v' e i s t h f tears ortii i w y e d h i e g n . nation—when that which had fallen stands erect, ew ble splendours_ wil Stsahminbeoulfeisrtahn bwrhilelni.antelaonudderedrri znaonrot Rome m i s , a g w a h i n e when RomeSeti i a h L e t i s u s a. a ni t a l in wi A lo t e h v en r 6 s wt a , iaenwn may-1311' en-, be, clap our hands for Italy.

You who now hear me picture to your selves this splendid vision—ltaly free—free— free from the gulf of Taranto to the lagunes of St Mark ; for I vow to th ee i n thy grave , 0 Man' * that Venice shall be p resen t a t th e festiyal la, Tell - me—does the mind's eye see that vision which to morrow will be a reality ? But it is done. All that was falsehood, fiction, darkness, and ashes is dis persed. Italy lives, Italy is Italy. That which was a geographical term is now a nation. That which which was a spectre is now an areliair,!;el—the was a lifeless corpse is new a living soul. That mighty archangel of peoples—Liberty—Liberty erect with outstretched wings. Italy the noble — Italy that slept in death, is now awake again. Look at her, she rises and smiles upon the humaa race. She cries to Greece—l am thy daughter; to France —I am thy mother. She has around her her poets, her orators, her artists, her philosophers—all those councillors of humanity, all those conscript fathers of universal intelligence, all those members of the senate of ages ; and on her right and on her left those two awful grandeurs--Dante and Michael Angelo. Oh ! since politicians love the words—this shall be the most majestic of faits accomplis. What a triumph, what an advent, what a wonderful plie nomenon—Unity with a single flash of lightning passing through the sister cities of Milan, Turin, Genoa, Florence, Bologna, Pisa, Sienna, Verona, Parma, Palermo, Messina, Naples, Venice, Rome ! Italy arises—ltaly is in motion, patuit dea, she bursts forth, she imparts to the progress of the en tire world the great and joyous fever of her genius, and while Europe is electrified by this marvellous glare of light, there shall be no less ecstasy in the eye of peoples, no less sublime reverberation on their brow, no less dazzlement through this new light that shall fall upon the earth than if a new star should shine forth from the heavens. Gentle men, if we could explain to ourselves the events which are preparing, as well as those which now are passing, we must not forget that Garibaldi— the man of to-day, the man of to-morrow, as well as the man of yesterday, before he was the soldier of Italian Unity, was the combatant of the Roman republic, and in our eye, and in the eyes of all who eaa trace the necessary meanderings of Progress gliding towards its object, and the avatars of thought transforming itself to re-appear-1860 is the continuation of 1849. Liberators are great. Let the grateful acclamations of peoples follow them in their diverse fortunes. Yesterday we gave tears —to-day we sing hosannahs. Providence thus establishes the equilibrium. John Brown succumbs in America, but Garibaldi triumphs in Europe. Humanity standing in consternation before the in famous gibbet of Charlestown, is reassured before the gleaming sword of Calatafimi. 0, brothers in humanity, this is the hour of joy and congratulation. Let us put aside all shades of exclusiveness, all poli tical differences, which, in a moment like this, are so little. At the present sacred hour let us fix our eyes exclusively upon that holy work, that solemn object, the vast dayspring of enfranchised nations, and let us send forth the sentiment of our united hearts in one formidable cry, worthy of the human race—" Viva la Liberty !" Yes, since America, alas, sullenly conservative of slavery, bends towards darkness, let Europe illuminate herself. Yes, let that civilisation of the old Continent which has abolished superstition by Pascal, slavery by Wilber force, and the scaffold by Beccaria, yes, let that elder civilisation reappear with its splendour which can never be again extinguished, and let it erect above mankind its ancient pharos composed of three grand flames—France, England, and Italy. Gentlemen, one word more. Let us not leave this Sicily without throwing on her a last re gard. What is to be the conclusion of this splendid epopee ? What is to rise out of it ? A moral law —a noble law, and that law is this—Force ceases to exist. No, force is no more—Right alone only exists. There are now only principles, only peoples, only souls—those forces of the ideal ; here below, there is only conscience, and Providence above. And what is force ? What is the s word ? Who amongst those who think feels terror at the sword ? Certainly not we—the free men of France ; certainly not you—the free men of England. The sentiment of right causes the head to be borne erect. Force and the sword are nothing. The sword is but a hideous flash in the darkness—a swift and tragi cal phantasm. Right is an eternal ray ; right is the permanence of truth in the soul ; right is God living in man. Hence is it that where right exists there is the certitude of triumph. A man—a single man — who has right may be named Legion ; a single sword, accompanied by right, is a thunderbolt. To speak of right is to speak of victory. Obstacles ! there are none —no, there are none. There can be no veto against the will of the future. Sec how re sistance ;stands iu Europe. ,-- Anstriu is stricken with paralysis, and resignation is coming upon Russia. Look at Naples. She struggles in vain ; the dying past wastes its labour. The sword evaporates in smoke. Those creatures called Lanza , Ladi , are phantoms. At the present hour Francis 11. fan cies, perhaPs, that he still exists, He deceives him self. I tell you here that he is nothing but a shadow, In vain he refuses to capitulate—in vain he clings to his atrocities—there is an end of him : he has resigned, and the dark horses of exile are now pawing at his palace gates. Gentlemen, I tell you that right alone exists. Would you compare right with force, listen to these figures. On the 11th of May 800 men landed at Marsala ; 27 days after wai'ds (the 7th of June), at Palermo,lB,ooo terrified men demanded permission to embark. The 800 re ' presented right, the 18,000 represented force. Oh, let the suffering, wherever they may be, console themselves ; let those in chains take heart. All that sh passinglet n , o he serf, let the w is logical. Yes, pariah,ho pe is the four winds of th e h or i zon. Let the Mouzick, let lett coming the n pur chasedo negro, let the white slave hope. Chains are a network whose meshes hold together, if one is broken all is undone. Hence the solidarity of despotisms ; the Pope is more the brother of the Sultan than he fancies. But, I repeat, the - end is come. Oh, how admirable is the force of circumstances. There is something superhuman in .deliverance. Liberty is a divine abyss which attracts. The irresistible is at the bottom of reve -1 lutions- Progress is nothing else than a phenome non of gravitation. Who then shall arrest it ? Once the impulsion given, the indomitable com mences. Oh, despots, I defy you. Stop the falling stone, stop the avalanche, stop Italy, stop '9B, stop the world, precipitated by God into Holt ! TBE BANK SUSPENSION IN SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE. A meeting of the creditors of this bank was held conpersons.im Commissioners i Mr. ners E o rßi dilgs e t 0 , nthe presided. chairman It t f I t v h a e s yesterday, and it was attended by upwards of 50 ascer tained, in answer to • Mr. questions, that John Foster is the sole proprietor of the bank, the des cendants of the deceased partner, Mr. IVBaldwin, than as depositors. Creditors said that they not being now otherwise interested in the shouldrw n concern not have invested their money if they had been aware of this circumstance. The cash in the bank at the time of its suspension was stated to be £3,000, and that had since been deposited in the Bank of England. A creditor said that Mr. Foster had told him that morning that Mr. Cross's liabilities were £15,000, viz., £ lO , O OO on his o p en accoun t, £3,000 on a privat e accoun t. M r . ua small cm o bills, and surgeon, ! gg o en 2 i 3O sOaoi said on that ha v i ng b een one o f a creditors on Sat ur d ay, w h ere h e learnt that Mr. Cross was prepared to meet all his liabilities at the bank, which he understood amounted to £9,000, he called upon Foster and asked him if he was prepared. to do the same on his part. Mr. Foster replied by pulling a small purse from his pocket, and saying that all his means of doing so were in that. Mr. Foster (Mr. Hancox added) was not a man of landed property, and he began the bank with £15,000. It having been stated that Mr, Cross and his solicitor were prepared to afford the meeting information, they were asked to attend. Mr. Brown, solicitor, re plied to the invitation. He said there had been a difference between Mr. Cross and Mr. Foster since October; that Mr. Cross had overdrawn his account to the amount of about £9,000 ; but whether it was £9,000 or £12,000 he was prepared to meet his liabilities, and he was prepared to offer £3,000 in July, £3,000 in three months afterward s , an d g i ve security for the balance by issuing paper that any one would cash. He pressed the creditors to keep the estate out of the Bankruptcy Court, and to act in unison. A committee was then appointed to negotiatee t that on Mr. Foster's b e half there had been frequent threats of criminal procee dings against Mr. Cross, but he had replied' that if they took th ose p r oceedings the sums in m eing m with Brown \lr . Foster, added dispute would be no longer a debt, and would be lost to tho creditors. The meeting terminated with the usual compliment. Several large employers of labour were represented at the meeting.

JOIIN ELLIOT,PAYMASTER, R.N., THE STEWARD OF GREENWICH NOSPITAL.—We have to record the demise of this estimable and re spected officer, which event took place at his resi dence in Greenwich Hospital on the afternoon of Saturday. Mr. Elliot was brother to the late Cap tain Sir Wm. Elliot, of the navy, and, like him, had seen some service in his time. In 1798 Mr. Elliot was serving as a midshipman in the Mars, 74, Captain Hood, in her gallant night action and capture of the Hercule, 74, on the coast of France. He was captain's clerk of the Elephant, 74, at Co penhagen, with Lord Nelson; and purser with the late Sir Charles Brisbane at the taking of Curacoa, with a squadron of four frigates ; he was also in the Arethusa at the capture of a Spanish frigate. Mr. Elliot was considered one of the fighting pur sers of his day, ever ready for a cutting-out party or a boating expedition. He was secretary to Ad miral Plampin at St. Helena, and on the Irish sta tion,.and also with Sir Edward Codrington. In 1841 he was appointed agent victualler at Haul bowline, and afterwards as storekeeper to Deptford victualling yard ; and in 1850 transferred to Green wich Hospital as steward, in the place of Mr. lessep, R.N. The late Mr. Elliot was a zealous public officer, a kind-hearted and truly good man, and a most gallant fellow. He leaves behind him a large circle of friends, in whose memory he will ever be esteemed. TILE ARMY. The general court-martial for the trial of Capt. , H. G. Savage, Royal Engineers, which adjourned its sittings on Saturday last, will reassemble at Chatham Garrison this morning, when the prisoner will make his defence, and afterwards call the wit nesses who are to be examined in his behalf, one of whom is Major Stopford, the Adjutant of the Royal Engineers. Yesterday morning a detachment of 59 non-com missioned officers and men of the Royal Marine Light Infantry left head-quarters, Chatham, and proceeded to Plymouth to join the line-of-battle screw steamer St. George, 91, Capt. the Hon. F. Egerton, fitting for sea at that port. THE GRAND VOLU , TEER REVIEW ON SATURDAY NEXT. WAR-OFFICE ORDERS. Yesterday the commanding officers of the various Volunteer Rifle Corps of the metropolitan district to be present at the review in Hyde Park on Satur day, received from the War-office regulations for field exercise and evolutions of infantry, as far as they are applicable to the volunteer service. The regulations are as follows :- 1. Formation in Columns.—The troops will be formed in a line of contiguous battalion columns at quarter distance. 2. On the word " front," from their commanders, the officers of each battalion will recover their swords ; and on the word " march," they will move up to the front and place themselves two paces in front of the column, and the officers sized from flanks to centre, and at equal distances from each other, the adjutant on their left. 3. The commanding officer will be three paces in front of the columns, the remaining field officers two paces in front of the line of officer, dividing the distances between the commanding officer and the flanks ; the paymaster, surgeons, and quarter master will be in rear of the battalion, the staff sergeants in rear of them. 4. The officer commanding will be stationed in front of the centre of the line, the generals of divi sion In front of the centre of their divisions, and the brigadiers in front of the centre of their bri gade ; their distances from the line will depend on the strength of the body of troops, and will be de termined by the officer commanding. 5. The baud and drums will move up and form in several ranks on the right of battalions, their front being in line with the leading company. 6. The pioneers will be in two ranks' in rear of the drums. 7. The reviewing general will be . saluted with out opening ranks, the men presenting arms, the officers saluting, and the bands playing. After the salute the troops will be ordered to shoulder arms and the general will go down the line. 8.

When marching past in quarter distance column the mounted officers only will salute, and the brigadier will move out after he has saluted and placed himself near the reviewing general while the column is passing. 6. After marching past, the leading column will be halted on the original alignment, the remaining columns to close upon it to six paces interval. The general will then order the mass to wheel into line of columns. 7. At the end of the review, columns will be formed on the original ground in review order ; ad vance in slow time, the bands and drums playing ; and when at convenient distance from the review ing general the men will be ordered to shoulder arms and proceed as directed.

Hicks, mustered at the Guildhall at five o'clock, and marched out for battalion drill. Yes. terday the whole of the metropolitan and suburban volunteer corps commenced active training, morn ing and evening, to be continued daily up to the 23d instant. Volunteers who do not attend all these drills, and who have not attained thorough efficiency in their drill, will not be permitted to parade with their corps to attend the review on Saturday. On Wednesday, the brigades into which the different corps are divided will have a grand field day in Hyde Park, Regent's Park, and the Victoria Park, &c. The Royal Artillery Com pany were out yesterday actively training in their grounds, Bunhill-row, Finsbury-square, and on Friday they will be inspected by their Captain- General and Colonel his Royal Highness the Prince Consort previous to taking their places in the review on Saturday. The Lord Chancellor has made an order of Court declaring Saturday next a holiday in the offices of the court, so that the gentlemen employed therein may be at liberty to attend the muster of their corps. It is expected that the law offices will be closed, and that the superior courts will rise early to permit the mem bers of the bar to join their regiment, and that the Saturday half-holiday will be general in the metro polis on the 23d instant to release the volunteers. The railway companies have made arrangements for the issue of return tickets at single fares to enable country residents to be present at the reN lew. D_EFENCE OF LONDON. Colonel Jebb, in a letter to a contemporary, says : —No one can read the report which has just been issue 4 by the Commissioners on the defences of the country without being impressed with a sense of its vast importance, or without appreciating the comprehensive and very practical manner in which the subject of placing our naval ports in security has been handled. There must, however, exist, as is stated in your impression of Friday last, a feeling of regret that no definite plans for the defence of London appear to have been specially considered. It is admitted that " the main object of an enemy invading this country would be to push for the capital, in the hope that if he succeeded in obtaining command of it, such a disaster would result in our buying him off upon any terms he might think it expedient to exact." No less object than this would realise the dreams of insatiate ambition, nor would any greater ob ject be likely to be attempted, for the permanent subjugation of the country would hardly enter into the calculations of any one acquainted with the English character. We may be caught unprepared, and we may be beaten, and this we will rightly deserve for being unprepared, but few think that we can be entirely conquered. No, if the British Lion is to be bearded in his den, it would be to draw his teeth, to cripple his power, and to humiliate him. The capture of one of our naval ports would not effect this object, or do much more than produce permanent exasperation and temporary inconve nience. There can be no doubt, therefore, that the com missioners are right in concluding that the blow would be struck at the heart of the empire ; and, however necessary it is to defend the extremities, it is that most vital point that claims timely atten tion, for if the capital is secure, the prize which might tempt an invasion would be out of reach. Could it be clearly shown that within a reason able period measures might be adopted by which the country would b© placed in safety and freed from the periodical panics and hot and cold fits to which she has been so long exposed, no sacrifice would be deemed too high a rate of insurance to obtain so desirable an object. Lord Overstone, in his reply to the questions of the Defence Commissioners, says : " We may, however, be well assured that under the most favourable supposition the general confusion and ruin which the presence of a hostile army must produce would be such that it would be absolute madness on the part of the Go vernment and people of this country if they were to omit any possible measures of precaution, or shrink from any present sacrifice by which the occurrence of such a catas trophe may be rendered impossible." The Commissioners have taken very good care of our great naval establishments, and no doubt the means of resisting a landing wherever it might be attempted have been fully considered. But assuming an enemy to have made good his landing and to be pushing on for London, what is to be done to insure his never reaching his desti nation ? This is a wide and most important, and in some respects it may be a difficult question ; the solution of it, however, should be vigorously at tempted without loss of time. The following may be taken as a brief summary of what we have to look to : The first line of defence is the Channel; the second, measures for opposing a landing; the third, one or more general actions at a certain dis tance from London. The fourth and following would be successive lines of defence in its more immediate neighbourhood. It was the opinion of the Duke of Wellington, in speaking of invasion, that " there is no mode of resistance, much less of protection, from this danger, excepting by an army in the field capable of meeting and contending with its formidable enemy." In this deliberate opinion of the highest autho rity to which we can appeal, fortifications, as such, arc left to fulfil the special and necessary objects h o e for which they may be constructed, as at Ports mouth, &c., and we are warned to trust the safety of the country mainly to our army in the field. It is on this point that I would vent ure t o cl aim your permission to make a few observatio ns. If we may not expect to be at al l t imes ful ly pre pared with a powerful army , —if our for ces are likely to be always made up of a moderat e number of regular troops, a large proportion of militi a er o nl y y they meet sup port tak e et , g ma a nlelaaa measures er v a 3 f o a p plying volunteers, —it g e i n e i v r g s i e i ti t hr iesmt servicesh c e o n m fi o at r eo e nece ssary e e c andeg greatest contend advantage, a w n ittehg ea powerful , soas t o i n sure their w not Wherever enemy, Lion to take one section of the country, and assume that one or more heavy columns, having landed somewhere between Portland and Ramsgate, are fighting their way on for the only prize worth con tending for—the possession of London, the electric telegraph disclosing their movements and proceed ings to every part of the kingdom. Excepting in the open chalk country, which is favourable for moving troops, they must have roads by which to tr: positions on every one of the road, aemy could possibly advance, possessing certain advantages with re ference to some general p'an of operations for not only disputing his advance, bat compelling him to fight a general action. - To provide for the contingency of a reverse it would be necessary that our forces should have titue to fail back in good order upon the lines prepared for the more immediate defence of the capital, and it woald therefore appear prudent to make the first determined stand at a distance of not less than 30 or 40 miles from London. In looking out for a line of operation with this object in view, it so happens that some of the strongest and most favourably situated ground to the south will be found in the escarpment of the chalk range running westward from near Maidstone, towards Reigate, Dorking, Guildford, and Farnham. At the latter point this general line, after including all the strong ground in front of Aldershott, might be advantageously thrown back in the direction of Odiham and Reading, resting its ,right on the Thames. This line of country is full of strong positions, and may not inaptly be designated the Torres Ve dras of London. Chatham and the River Medway lie on the left, and would compel a hostile force marching in haste from the south-east to take the road passing through Maidstone. keeping this road they would soon find themselves at the foot divergeo llr ro t h t o a m the - h Will, , r i a g nd ht w b o e c u l a d u s e n no i t be such lik e a l y t caseo they would come upon some of the proposed Chatham defences, near Cobham. The whole of the ground also on the left bank of the Medway is very defensible ; and, as the proposed work at Shooter's-hill lies upon the old Dover-road, it may be assumed that the high ground at Wrotham-hill might be taken as the left of a line which in its course westward intersects every road by which an enemy could march to London from the most ac cessible parts of the coast. It may be said that the choice of a field of battle rests with the assailant, but this is not by any means true. With proper precautions he might leave a fortress with its garrison locked up in his rear ; but if there be a moveable force in the field at all equal to cope with him he would hardly under take the dangerous enterprise of a flank march in its presence. He must fight where he can find his antagonist. The field of Waterloo was chosen long before it was wanted. In any extended line of operations, freedom of access to all parts of it, from the flanks and rear, is an essential condition. • _ln this point of view this part of the country possesses peculiar facilities, for all the roads from London lead directly up to it. The left is open to Essex and the Eastern Counties by Gravesend, and the right is open at Reading to the rest of England. The South-Western Railway, with its branches, together with the Portsmouth, the Brighton, the Dover and Chatham lines, also contribute their re sources for locomotion: So far as regards the means of quickly assembling or reinforcing an army in that situation nothing, therefore, is wanting.. Neither is the position entirely deficient in lateral communication to enable troops to move rapidly from one part of the line to another, which is also an object of primary importance. The railroad which runs from Reigate by Alder shott to Reading would be available for this pur pose to a certain extent. The great desideratum, however, would be to improve the roads and com munications across the country from point to point in rear of the general line. As regards the positions which might be selected on this line, it may be sufficient for the purpose of conveying a general idea to assume that there are some six or eight principal roads, by one or two of which an enemy would be obliged to advance. It is to the particular points where these roads intersect the defensive line, and have to ascend a steep hill, or pass through a narrow gorge or defile, that attention might be directed. If small, heavily-armed field works, secure from a coup de main, were placed as points d'appui in the most favourable positions for disputing those roads cr denying them to an enemy, a great advantage would be gained; and in case of an action being fought there, open batteries and intrenchments made at the moment would materially strengthen the position and afford the means of utilising the services of large bodies of men, who might not be sufficiently drilled to manoeuvre in the open field against a highly disciplined and enterprising enemy. Independently, however, of the natural strength of any positions selected on this line, or of any other of its assumed advantages, one of its recom mendations is that nearly- the whole of it is on the chalk, which affords facilities for executing defen sible works of any description at a comparatively trifling cost, and in the shortest possible time. Every railway cutting shows the chalk standing perpendicularly. A ditch, therefore, would require no artificial scarp or counter-scarp, but might be rendered secure from a coup de main by the simple excavation, and in less than a month might be made to assume a very respectable aspect. I would particularly dwell upon this advantage from thinking that if our army and navy were otherwise occupied on the coast or elsewhere, it would be quite possible to execute in a very short time any works of this description by the labour of soldiers encamped on the spot. LIFEBOATS AND SHIPArItECKS. TO TIIE EDITOR OF TILE SEN. SIII,,—The severe loss of life occasioned by ship wrecks off the coasts of the United Kingdom dur ing the last year ought to direct the attention of every friend of humanity to the most efficacious means of preventing such lamentable losses. No less than 1,646 of our fellow creatures met with a watery grave in that year, to which number must be added those who have since perished in the fearful, and, for the season, unprecedented storms of the last few weeks. We cannot prevent the re• currence of such visitations, nbr stem the fury of the tc mpest ; but it is in the power, and is the duty of man, to mitigate the calamities that result from them. It appears from the annnal official return of the Board of Trade that 2,332 lives were saved in the past year, of which number 291 were preserved by lifeboats; and the total number of persons rescued from shipwreck since the first establishment of the National Lifeboat Institution in 1824, and for rescuing whom it has granted honorary and pe cuniary rewards, amounts to 11,401. At present the number of boats belonging to the institution amounts to 101, but many more are re quired. The Coastguard officers and Lloyd's agents reported last year that upwards of 60 more were needed ; and, although several new boats have since then been placed on the coasts, there are still very many exposed localities, especially on the coast of Scotland, where hardly a year passes without a great loss of life, which might be to a great extent prevented if lifeboats were stationed in the vicinity. In the single gale of Aug. 17, 1848, the results of which were so ably inquired into and reported on to the House of Commons by Capt. Washington, no less than 100 men were drowned, and 124 boats lost or damaged, involving a pecuniary loss of £7,011; and in that of the 23d November, 1857, 44 fisher men, mostly in the prime of life, perished, and no fewer than 27 widows and 79 orphans were left to bewail their loss. Such calamities are of frequent occurrence, and I am sure only require to be stated to induce all who sympathise with the sufferings o f others to give whatever aid may be in their po wer towards diminishing them. The first cost of a new lifeboat station, including, besides the boat, the ne cessary gear, crew's life-belt,s boat-house, and car riage to convey t he boat to an y spot where a wreck has taken place, averages between £3OO and £4OO, and its subsequent maintenance comes ll annually to about .£3O per annum. The wreek-e-ar s t anally pub lished by the Board of T ' ra;i e give melancholy evidence as to the spot NN:licre these boats are required; and I trust that in this age of philan thropy sufficient f un d s will he forthcoming to en able one of these messengers of life and safety to be stationed on all exposed parts of our shores where they can render succour to the wrecked ineriner.—Y our obedient servant, Vere• street, June 16. MONTAGUE GORE. SAD ACCIDENT ON BOARD THE ROYAL ALBERT, AT LEITIL—On Saturday afternoon, while the decks of the hoyal Albert were thronged with visitors, the dress of a lady, in passing one of the signal guns, caught the percus sion hammer and brought it over upon the fuse. The gun, which was loaded with blank cartridge, went off, and one of the crew, who unfortunately was either standing in front of the gun or had been working about it, had his arm blown off close to the shoulder. The poor fellow was promptly attended to by the medical officers of the ship, and was, we believe, brought to Leith Hospital in the even ing. The sad event caused much consternation as well ;18 regret among the visitors , and the lady who had unwi `been its cause fainted,4cotsinan.
