This Is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medicalreader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally' flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrlicea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular.

IRON-CASED SHIPS, The following letter appears in a contemporary : Sir,—As a statement of the following facts may assist to bring the public mind to a safe decision on the question of that great change in the material and character of future war-ships so ably mooted in your article of the 10th inst., recently received here, I beg to offer them for insertion if considered of sufficient importance. There are now before me all the data and obser vations, taken on the spot for my own professional information, of the several trials made off Shoebury ness since January, 1859, to penetrate the sides of the floating battery Trusty, built in 1855 for the purposes of the Russian war, with a scantling of 23 inches of oak timber, covered with 4 -inch iron plates. This vessel was prepared for being fired at in the beginning of 1857, and, had the experiments been then carried out, our present state of " indeci sion" would most probably have been avoided ; for at that time no rifled cannon of any power had been produced, and we now know that at the distance then intended of 450 yards the spherical shot of the heaviest smooth-bored gun must have been found quite powerless to enter the ship. It was not, however, until January, 1859, that the first attempt -was made to penetrate the Trusty's side, the gun used being Sir W. Arm strong's rifled 32-pounder, which had given the sur prising range of 9,200 yards. Fourteen shots in all were fired, with charges of 61b., and at distances varying from 450 yards to about 20 yards, the mate rial of the shot being cast iron, wrought iron, and steel. Of these latter two stuck into the side, be tween the joints of the plates, projecting externally 6 inches and 2 inches respectively, and indentations with some cracks were likewise produced on the plates by the other shots ; but the gun was evi• dently powerless to injure seriously the complete protection of the side. In September, 1859, attempts for two successive days were again made to penetrate the side with Sir William Armstrong's rifled 80-pounder, which, with a 121 b. charge, had a l so th rown it s shot more than 9,000 yards. The first day's distance was 400 yards, at which 10 shots in all were fired, only three of which, however, took effect so as to giVe proof of the combined resistance of the side ; but this, to the surprise of every one, was found to be so practically complete that it was judged necessary to reduce the distance for firing on the second day to 200 yards. At this range 11 shots in all were fired, some of them of 100 lb. weight and of hardened steel, but even with these no entry could be effected. One 801 b. steel shot did, however, succeed in enter ing the ship. Its immediate predecessor had struck a joint of the plates, and opened it three-quarters of an inch. On this opening the shot in question struck fair, and within two inches of the former shot, which, besides opening the joint, had also shattered the timber; but, although thus assisted, the force of the shot on entering was so expended that it only reached half-way across the deck, throwing before it, however, a formidable splinter of iron ; and this single violation of the protection of the Trusty's side was the only result of the 14 shots which in the two days took effect upon her plates. At the trial made in June last with Mr. Whit worth's rifled 80. pounder I was not present, but have since carefully examined the effects then pro duced, and found that of the three shots which took effect on the side only one entered the ship. It received no assistance from the effects of any previous shot, but where it struck outside the plate was unsound, and where it entered inside the timber was rotten; and though a greater power of penetra tion was here exhibited than in the case of the Arm strong shot, yet, like it, it entered the ship in a spent state, and reached no more than half-way across the deck. Twelve and thirteen pound charges were used on :this occasion, the shot being of carefully prepared steel ; but, as in the previous trials, no shells were fired, it having been judged useless to do so wheresolid steel had been so completely foiled. Excluding, then, altogether the attempt with the 32-pounder, we have thus 17 shots, of from 801 b to lOOlb weight, made of special material, of special form and temper, fired with the heaviest charges the guns will bear, as far as practicable at right angles, within the shortest safe distance, from the two most powerful pieces of artillery ever yet pro duced, and the ship's side thus subjected to proof has been penetrated twice. The side which has exhibited this power of protection is one of the first of its description ever constructed. Its outer lining of iron is slighter than that since manufactured; the plates of which it is composed are much smaller; and instead of being firmly bolted upon the timber beneath them, they were found to be loose, owing to the shrinkage of the wood since the ship was built. When struck near their edges these plates were more or less injured and broken, when near their centres more or less indented and cracked; but the iron splinters which went in with the Arm strong shot was the only mischievous one of any sort which the whole 17 shots produced, and both that shot itself and the Whitworth would have been perfectly harmless to any one on the other side of the deck opposite where they entered. With every advantage, therefore, on the side of the guns to an extent which could never occur in action, these re sults may, I think, be safely accepted as conclusive proof that, in the terms of your article— " British manufacturers can, indeed, produce plates of iron capable of affording. such protection to the sides of British ships that the best of even British guns cannot pene trate them." But it will be asked, with such results as these for now a year before us, whence has arisen that " inde cision" which, as your article observes, has hitherto characterised our own adoption of this invention, and which still seems to delay its progress ? The only reply is I believe to be found in the fact that, simultaneously with the experiments at Shoeburyness, other experiments have been taking place at Portsmouth which have furnished results of a totally different nature. Month after month for more than a year the public has been informed, in general and in detail, of the entire destruction of armour plates of all descriptions and of almost all thicknesses, effected, not by any new and powerful rifled cannon, but by the old smooth-bored gun of heavy calibre, with its limited range of some 4,000 yards. And although, as you observe," it is impos sible for us to balance our own experiments in this matter against those of the French, inasmuch as we cannot be sure that the conditions were equal," yet it may be well to apply this process to our own two sets of experiments, if only to remove the perplexity caused by the great discrepancy they represent; and we shall then readily , perceive that the differ ence in the essential conditions under which they have been respectively made will fully account for the opposite deductions they admit of. The side of the Trusty, as before stated, was built but five years since for the express purpose of sustaining the shock it has shown itself so well able to bear: The sides of the Alfred, the Undaunted, and Sirius, experimented upon at Portsmouth, were built nearer 50 years ago, with a strength of scantling and with fastenings totally unfitted even then to undergo that hammer-and-anvil process of hanging heavy plates upon them to be attacked with the heaviest guns, and under which plates and timber ing have both inevitably succumbed when the ope ration had been performed, after " old age" had of itself already brought these ships to the verge of the breaking-up dock. Why experiments of such a na ture were made under such conditions at all I pre sume neither to know nor inquire ; but I doubt not their necessary results have had the natural effect of inducing. that doubt and indecision in the public,if not the official mind, which it might have seemed so de sirable to avoid in a matter so serious and new, and in which only the most practical experiments pos sible could be expected to afford a safe guidance. But, whatever may have been the especial object of these Portsmouth experiments, we may be assured that whenever British armour-ships may have to contend with those of ether nations the timbering which supports their plates will be found, not of the same age and weakness as that of the old ships named, but on the same scale of strength as that of the Trusty ; as witness the 24-inch scantling of the Normandie, now receiving her plates in the basin at Cherbourg. Thus, within a period of 10 years, has the match of human progress twice overtaken with serious change the status of British naval affairs ; and, while our requisite force of screw ships of the line is yet far from complete, we find ourselves unavoidably launched into the most complete revolution in the character and construction of ships of war ever yet known. No ship of wood, of whatever size or force, can be expected to contend with the modern projec tiles of conical and spherical shopitai,vesroheueerldalsba,itaenadlalcm;clowldteletnhnt iron, against even a single-deck e d ship with sides as impenetrable as those of the T rus t y, E ven at alone y e ardsw enables we have such seen side s t o b that e sufficient steam speed to enable a fitin s g 4 dl s 'et raa - nueset h :I; port of 1,000 yards to be maintaine w d ,i prove "invulnerable" (except 0 holes) to any gun yet kno;7„,while capable them selves of the most effect:v., " use of their powers of de. struction against ar " reconstructior" opponent of wood; and th e fleet ham, i t • of the line-of-battle portion of our . ec a becomc an imperious necessity. Nor is our present position that alone of having been sur prised in the numerical inferiority which your article places before us, but tb;s time we have lost our usual priority in practical experience too ; for, while our own first armour frigate will require still some considerable time before she can be launched, the Gloiro appears to be in full course of realising established data for the future management and improvement of the similar structures of our great neighbour. Doubtless, the superiority in re sources of money, material, and skilled labour to meet the occasion are all on our side, and it had been well if such considerations had weighed with our Administrators during those indications of the approaching crisis which were evident to so many, so as to have urged them to secure to ourselves the lead in this great change and this now rivalry. As it is, however, the "stern-chase'' can be no longer delayed ; and if it be wisely and energetically prosecuted, with that united effort which the talent and great practical experience in iron constructions of this country enables us to call forth, every allow• ante will, no doubt, be made for any over-reluctance which may hare been shown to enter on that in crease of naval outlay which must now be encoun tered before England's requisite superiority in the new description of war-ship can be established. I remain, sir, yours, &c,, E. P HALSTED, Captain, RN., lately Commanding the Steam Reserve Fleet in the Medway. Talladh-a-Bheithe, Perthshire, Sept. 17: (from the Times.) A letter whibh 'Vse insert this morning from an able correspondpnt will furnish the public with some authentic }'information on - a subject of the highest importence to our national security—viz., the success or failure of the new scheme for casing ships of war in iron. Our IT:lsmer remarks on the question will have explained the position in which it now stands. In the main it was a question of experi ment only, and yet by some strange divergence of induction, British and French authorities had ar rived at conclusions diametrically opposed to each other. The French had satisfied themselves of the utility of the invention, had discontinued the con struction of wooden line of battle ships, had put ten iron-cased frigates ou the stocks, and had actually launched two of them. We, on the other hand, had, indeed put out four of the new men-of•war to contract, but wo had not regarded the case as in any way urgent, and had still concentrated our principal efforts upon screw two-deckers, exactly as before. This policy, too, seemed to derive a certain warrant from the results of experiment, for we were assured day after day that no plates .of iron producible by our manufacturers had been found capable of resist ing the effects of out guns. Naturally, therefore, we imagined that the French, to say the least, had been precipitate, and that, whatever - might be the conclusion finally established, invulnerable ships had not become a reality up to the present moment. These impressions, however, will be most mate rially modified by the statements contained in Capt. Halsted's letter. From that communication it ap pears not only that a ship's side had been found practically impenetrable when battered at short range by the most powerful rifled ordnance, but that the discovery was made twelve months ago, so that unless the conclusion was to be corrected by other evidence, we should have had our iron sheathed frigates afloat exactly like our neighbours. Nothing can be more instructive than the results of the Shoeburyness experiments, as here detailed. The vessel taken as a target was the floating bat tery Trusty, built for the express purpose of offer ing the greatest resistance to shot some five years ago. She was the earliest type, in fact, of the new invention—the very class of ship which the French naval architects have since developed into the Gloire. In 1857 she was "prepared for being fired at," or, in other words, as we presume, she was cased in the strongest armour which could be manufac tured at that time. The sheathing, in all proba bility, was by no means so strong as could be menu factored now, and yet it. repelled 801 b. shot from Armstrong and Whitworth guns. We need not reca pitulate the results which our correspondent so per spicuously details. It is quite sufficient to observe that with every condition in favour of the attack it proved virtually ineffectual against the defence. Twice only in 17 shots could the new artillery pene trate the old floating battery, although each of these shots was fired under advantages which could rarely be reckoned upon in actual conflict. This seems decisive ; but there are two or three questions still suggesting themselves for considera tion, and the subject is so vitally important that not a single point should be blinked. - Were these rifled cannon really the most formidable weapons that could have been employed in the experiment ? Admitting their extraordinary powers of range and accuracy, were the shots which they threw at point blank range mole likely to be destructive under the circumstances of the case than heavy spherical shot from a smooth-bored gun We have heard that a 681 b. ball fired from one of the long 95cwt. guns will, at a range, say of 200 yards, produce more effect on an iron-plate target than the elongated bolt of an Armstrong or Whitworth cannon. This, indeed, may possibly be alleged as an explanation of the strange discrepancy between the experiments at Portsmouth and those at Shoeburyness. At the for mer place the smooth-bored 68-pounder was tried against what our correspondent describes as weak and worthless targets ; at the latter a target thoroughly well constructed was battered only by rifled guns. Perhaps, therefore, there is still some room for uncertainty, though it is natural to ask why so very obvious a course as bringing the strongest target to the test of the most destructive shot was hot thought of by those who conducted our experi ments. A second question arises from certain special results discovered during these trials. It was found that though one or two shots might be repelled by the iron sheathing, yet when this sheath ing was finally penetrated, as at Portsmouth almost invariably occurred, the destruction produced was infinitely greater than would have been the case on board a wooden vessel. The first shot or two, per haps even the first broadside, might rattle harm lessly against the ship's armour, but the next would create such tremendous havoc that the temporary impunity would have been dearly purchased. When the side of an iron -cased frigate was once smashed all on board, it was said, were doomed. This is evidently a point of great consequence. Captain Halstead, it will be seen, actually claims an advan tage for iron-sheathed vessels on this very score ; but here again he is speaking of bolts, and not of cannon balls. We can only add that points like these, which a week's experiments properly eonducted would suf fice to decide, should never have been left thus in doubt. For ourselves, we conceive that upon the whole evidence now before us there is reason for believing iron-cased ships to be, if not a perfect, at any rate semost important invention. We suspect that, though the Gloire may not be absolutely invulnerable, she would be found possessed of such advantages as would justify our neighbours in thus closing with the new theory. Possibly our autho rities might be ably to show that no iron plates have yet been proof against the effects of artillery continuously fired, though, as they seem never to have tested the best targets with the best guns, we cannot feel any certainty even on this point. It appears, however, quite plain that, though this marine armour may not be impenetrable to the last, it is impenetrable for a good while, and at certain distances altogether so. Is not this an ad vantage worth securing p A frigate invulnerable at six hundred yards, and proof against at least one broadside at a third of that distance, would surely overpower an antagonist possessed of no such protection. We think it highly probable that the best iron plates yet manufactured might be penetrated sooner or later, and under given condi tions, by heavy shot, but if that result could be averted for a certain time it would clearly be so much gain. If the French, in short, have not proved that a ship can be made invulnerable, they have proved that a ship can be made far less vulnerable than other ships without any material sacrifice of ' mobility or speed; and if that example is lost upon us it will go hard with England. We do sincerely trust, therefore, that all this evi dence may have produced its effect upon our Board of Acim!r itv during their recent survey of the a :.T'ngdom.

The Duke of Somerset, First Lord of the Admi ralty, and other members of the Board, with Rear Admiral the Right Hon, Lord Clarence E. Paget, C. 8., Rear-Admiral Sir Baldwin W. Walker.K.C.B., Col. Greene, and Capt. Moore, C. 8., resumed their inspection of the dockyard and naval establish ments - at Chatham yesterday morning. Before con cluding the inspection of the Royal Marine esta blishment on Thursday evening, their lordships conveyed to Col. Rea, the Commandant, their wish to witness a hody of the Royal Marines gothrough the great gun exercise. A party of 60 men, most of whom have only recently commenced gun drill, were accordingly selected. and marched to the ships' gun battery. The Marines, who were under the command of Capt. R. G. Connolly, the Instructor of Gunnery, were put through a course of gun drill with the large 68-pounders, and, notwithstand ing the great size of the guns, they were moved about, cast loose, lowered, pointed, and fired with the greatest apparent ease, the facility and promp titude with which these movements• were effected eliciting the commendations of their lordships. His Grace and the other members of the Board then proceeded to inspect the large naval hospital at Melville for seamen and Marines, and were re ceived by Dr. Y. W. Johnston, Deputy -Inspector- General, and the Staff of the establishment. The interior arrangements are in the highest degree satisfactory, the wards being lofty and airy. On a recent visit to this establishment by Miss Night ingale, that lady pronounced the Melville Hospital to be in every respect the best of the national hos pitals in this kingdom. Before leaving Melville his Grace intimated to the principal medical officer his satisfaction at the result of the inspection. On entering the dockyard this morning their lordships briefly noticed the new works in progress for ex tending and improving the yard, the estimated cost of which is £160,000, the works to be performed by convict labour. The storehouses and other esta blishments not visited the previous day, were briefly noticed, their lordships being desirous of paying a visit to St. Mary's Island, adjoining the dockyard, to witness the progress of the works there. Previous to leaving the dockyard, however, the members of the Board had some conversation with a deputation from the seamen-riggers em ployed in the yard relative to what the men con nected with that department consider a grievance, in not having their time which they had spent in the Royal Navy before joining the dockyard counted in their service towards a pension. The deputation was received yesterday by his Grace, who, as well as the other members of the Board, listened very attentively to the statements made, and from the opinions expressed by their lordships it appears probable that the application of the seamen-rigters will be attended with success. After completing their tour of inspection their lordships embarked in the Admiralty barge, and proceeded to St. Mary's Island. The works in progress on the island, which closely adjoin the eastern end of the dock yard, are of great magnitude. An area of marsh and mud of several hundred acres in extent has been gradually reclaimed from the water, and pre parations are now being made for the formation of steam basins sufficiently large to contain the steam , reserve in ordinary. The island has been em banked, and a substantial river wail constructed entirely by means of convict labour. Their lotti s ships were conducted over the works by Mr. Rivers, clerk of the works, and Mr. Macdonnell, who has the superintendence of the undertaking. When the whole of the proposed steam basins are com pleted Chatham Dockyard will be one of the largest and most complete of the Royal naval establish ments. After spending a considerable time on the island their lordships embarked in the steam yacht Wildfire, and proceeded down the river to Sheer ness, where they arrived about noon, and imme diately commenced the inspection of that dockyard. On landing their lordships were received by Vice- Admiral W. J. Hope Johnstone, Commander-in- Chief; Capt. C, Wise (Aide-de-Camp to the Queen), Superintendent ; Commander Martin, Master At tendant; Mr. W. ilenwood, Master Shipwright, and assistants, and the principal officers in the yard and harbour. Their lordships first inspected the naval barracks. The steam factory was then in spected, after which their lordships proceeded to the part of the wall where it is proposed to con struct the new entrance into the dockyard. Their lordships next visited the boiler shop, and examined the positions of the proposed entrance to the shop. After finishing this part of the inspection their lordships partook of luncheon at the official resi dence of the Capt.-Superintendent, at the conclusion of which they visited the new boat store recently built from the designs of Col. Greene, and inspected the new mode of raising and lowering boats in vented by Col. Greene. The Wanderer, 4, screw steam sloop, in No. 4 dock, was next inspected, when their lordships examined some of the defec tive timber which has recently been taken out of the ship. The only other vessel in the yard which was inspected by their lordships was the North Star, 22. The members of the Board then visited the flag ship Formidable, 84, Capt. Luard, and also the Phaeton, 51, in the harbour. On their leaving the flagship an Admiralty salute was fired, and their lordships proceeded to town via the Sheerness and Sittingbourne Railway, at 3.45 p.m. The following naval cadets passed on Wednes day out of her Majesty's ship Britannia (naval cadet training ship at Portsmouth) for service in seagoing ships :—G.

The Hampshire Artillery were inspected on Thurs day last at Pembroke dock, previous to leaving the district, by Col. Raymond. The gallant colonel having inspected the regiment, read a letter from the Horse Guards stating that volunteering would take place on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday next, and that for the Royal Artillery would be re stricted to the 15th battalion. The colonel then complimented the corps on their discipline and good conduct while under his command, and assured them that the same high opinion was held of them by his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief. 212 E VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT. Her Majesty's Government being anxious to en courage the formation of Mounted Rifle Volunteer Corps, the Secretary of State for War has addressed the Lords-Lieutenant of the different counties in England and Wales upon the subject : " War-office, Sept. 10. "My Lord',-1 have the honour to state for your information that I shall be prepared to sanction the appointment of a Sergeant-Instructor to every corps of 'Mounted Rifle Volunteers which is not entitled to the service of an Adjutant. The Sergeant-In structor so appointed will receive pay at the rate of is. lOd. per diem, with an'allowance of 4d. per diem in lieu of lodging, fuel, and light, and will, Under the provisions of the 21st clause of the Act 44, George 111., eap. 54, be subjected to the Mutiny Act and the Articles of War, and will be liable to be tried by a court-martial for any offence commit ted against that Act or Articles of War. "The qualifications of a Sergeant-Instructor of.a Mounted Rifle Volunteer Corps should be as fol lows : . . " 1. Five years' service (three of which as a non commissioned officer) in the regular army, or in the army of the late East India Company, or in her Majesty's Indian Forces. " 2. A complete knowledge of mounted drill. " 3. A good character, as established by satis factory testimonials. " 4. The age of the Sergeant-Instructor is not to exceed 50 years. " He will be required, if necessary, to be attached to a regiment of infantry of the line to learn moun ted drill. He will also be required to pass through a course of musketry instruction at Hythe if he has not already done so. ." Recommendations of Sergeant-Instructor for Mounted Rifle Volunteer Corps should be made by commanding officers to the Lord-Lieutenant of the county, and, if approved by him, should be sub mitted for the consideration of the Secretary of State for War. " I have to add that in cases where the corps consist of more than 100 enrolled members a second Sergeant-Instructor will be allowed,:and where the numbers exceed 200 a third Sergeant, on the same terms, And in every case the Sergeant-Instruc tors should be mounted by the Corps on al mounted duties.—l have the honour to be, my lord your obedient servant, " SIDNEY HERBERT. " To the Lord-Lieutenant of the county of -" We have received several letters impugning the accuracy of our report of the proceedings at the re cent review of Volunteers at Gloucester which ap peared in our impression of September 19. We are informed that the Volunteers never formed line as described, because the space was much too confined to permit them to do so ; that the brigades in marching past were not preceded by their bands ; and that they did not march past in slow nor in double quick time, but in quick time only ; and that the evolutions of a sham fight,. skirmishing , retreating, &c., did not take place, the only move ments being a general salute of battalions in close columns of companies, officers to the front, and quarter marching past in open, and afterw ards in distance columns in quick time. The Inspector-General of Vo l u nteers ;has ap. pointed Saturday next, the 29th inst., for the ef e Rifles.t e s and Th a e in spection of the North Middlesex corps now musters nearly 600 f from Camden andof Marylebone and St. John's-wood C ompany has b een forthed, and companies K en ti s h towns and Haverstock-hill are in , course formatiov, w hi c h renders an immediat e app li cation necessary to the Lord-Lieutenant to increase the strength M the regiment to 1,000. Th e counc i l, with av i e w to encourage enrolment, have reduced the subscription to ss. 3d. for effective s , and 2s. 6d. f or cadets for the remainder of the current year, without entrance fee. Last evening the members of her Majesty's Cus toms' Corps (the 26th Middlesex Rifle Volunteers) under the ammand of Major R. W. Grey and Capt. Hamel, assembled on the grounds of Mr. R. More land, Parodic e-row, Stoke Newington, to present his commission as their hon. chaplain to the Rev. Thomas Jackson, M.A., rector of Stoke Newington ; after which a meeting of the inhabitants of Stoke Newington, convened on requisition by the rector was held at the same place for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of forming a volun teer corps for Stoke Newington. Therector, having been collect to the chair, said he had felt no hesita ' tion in taking part in the present meeting, as he felt that the best way to preserve peace was to be prepared for war. He was much gratified at the exhibition, of efficiency which the 26th Middlesex had that evening displayed, and he felt assured that many other corps were equally efficient with them, and thought that it would now be no longer said that a foreign enemy would have to get through the " thin red line" merely, but that he would find it equally difficult to get through the dark line of Volunteers. He had seen reviews on the Continent, but never had he seen a body of men more efficient than our Rifle Volunteers.
