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 o' the urethra. The cases 'which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various ldndB of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of 'pain. to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical•Circular, Dec. let, 1858.

Yesterday evening a dinner was given at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, to the friends and supporters of these schools, in aid of the funds Of the institution—Mr. Charles Dickens in the chair. Among The company present were Mr. Alderman Mechi, Sheriffs Phillips and Gabriel, the Rev. M. Bellew, Dr. Carter Murphy, 12th Regiment, Messrs. Greatorex, G. Moore, W. Grahatti, De In Rues, For ister, &c. Upwards of 100 gentlemen sat down to an excellent dinner, which was enlivened by the musical abilitieS of Mr. G. L. Hatton and others. The children, who presented a healthy and contented appearance, were marched round the room, and after wards sang with taste and correctness one or two part songs, to the apparent gratification of every one present. • The usual loyal and patriotic toasts having been gitp n, The CHAIRMAN again rose and proceeded to give the toast of the evening, "Prosperity to the Com mercial Travellers' Schools." He was told (he said) it was once said by a lady who kept a commercial boarding-house in the neighbourhood of the Monu ment, named Mrs. Todgers—(loud laughter)—that ago such strong passion existed in the human breast as that of commercial ge ten for gravy. (Con tinued laughter.) He sale, in fact, that no animal known to butchers or experienced housekeepers would yield from any of its joints the amount of gravy that was called for by the peculiarity of the commercial palate. (Renewed ,laughter.) The anxiety, the mental anxiety, that this most•esti mable lady had undergone from this single cause was sufficient to undermine the strongest constitu tion. (Great laughter.) With this lady's experience and responsibilities heavy on his soul, he was thrown into a gloomy state 'of feeling when the duties and responsibilities of this eventful day loomed and darkened upon him. " He was disturbed by the amount of oratorical gravy which he know would be expected from the head of the table, and his sorrows were aggravated by his own personal know ledge of the-inadequacy of the supply. It was very small comfort to him to remember that the last time he had the honour to fill that place the guests were most kind and considerate. He could not banish the shadow of Todgers, or get rid of the horrors of that lady's gravy experiences. In short he was dreadfully perplexed to know how he should cut up on the present occasion. (Laughter.) . In this disturbed state of niind he made several forlorn attempts to get materials for a speech. He looked through the advertising pages of Brad shaw (loud laughter), and asked himself whether anything could be done with those inviting adver tisements of hotels, in which was offered at fixed charges bed, breakfast, and attendance, with the additional advantages of a perfect solitude and an Italian atmosphere. (Laughter.) .He asked himself despondingly the question whether anything apro pos could be got out of the unfortunate porter who sat up all night, and who never went to bed in the day time? (Great laughter.) He then started off by express train of remembrances to another and much larger hotel at Leeds, where he happened to be staying about seven weeks before, where the chamber appurtenances belonged to a period far anterior to the present, and where the night candles Were nothing less than mutton truncheous of the most exaggerated dimensions (roars of laughter), and couldn't, by any possibility be blown out. (Great laughter.) He saw in that hotel many members of the present company next morning brushing their hats in the hall, and then it occurred to him whether anything could be done with com mercial travellers, and whether any analogy could be drawn between men who diffused the luxuries and necessaries of existence and such travellers as Dr. Livingstone, for instance, who carried the waters of life into df sert places ; or Capt. M'Clin tock and his companions who graved the records of English modesty, gallantry, and perseverance on the everlasting ice that surrounded the North Pole. (Cheers.) He remembered that the best and greatest of these travellers had been the gentlest and mildest of men. He asked could he make any parallel between his friend Mr. Layard, who had brought to light hid den memorials of a long extinct people, and Mr. G. Moore, who sat beside him, who had so splendidly developed the charitable capabilities of a great trade. Not getting any assistance from these sources, ho resolved, like the hero in the fairy tale, to go out and seek his fortune. He resorted to a certain friendly giant, a commercial ,giant, with whom he travelled on until ho came to a fairy castle, bright red on the outside, and looking quite glorious in the cold sunlight of a wintry afternoon. They were not received by the conventional ogre with ono eye as large as six, but by a person in the likeness of man, with two bright oyes, and under whose guidance they inspected the live stock and eatables of the castle, mainly consisting of milk and pork. A broad flight of stone stops led to a noble interior, consisting of cheerful and lofty halls, with lavatories, dormitories, and a spacions banquetting room. He found an admirable dietary table, and felt that, if it were his good fortune to reside there, he should be perpetually making pleasant excur sions—meanderinF amongst beef, plum pudding, boiled mutton, with cold meat as an exceptional mortification. (Laughter.) He found therein 100 male and 50 female young giants, receiving besides their creature comforts an excellent education, and saw from the examination papers that an attention w as paid to the actual business of life which was sometimes neglected in colleges of greater fame and mo re ancient foundation. The young giants were healthy, cheerful, and rational, and were under a system of moral restraint which was far better than that application of physical force which always crushed a timid nature and never bent a stubborn one. (Loud cheers.) lie met these young giants returning from a walk, lie spoke to them, and was much pleased with their free and. fearless mode of answering, and the pleasant way of looking those who were placed in authority over th em fair and full in the face. (Loud cheers.) These young world, for which they w ere w o nderf ull y well pre tgliiaenytswewreerelsb, owaii;deend,filloedygNevde pared. He made two extraordinary discoveries— ,reansdenetdouucatteindtountthiel first, that this magic castle had cost £20,000, and that the money had all been paid by voluntary subscriptions ; and, secondly, that he had not sought his fortune in vain, for in this castle he discovered the materials for his speech. (Loud cheers.) Now this fairy castle was their own home, and was known to them all as the Commercial Travellers' Schools. More solid in brick and stone than the fanciful creation of the fairy tale, the commercial travellers in endowing that school were raised in their own opinion. and in the estimation of their fellow men. (Hear, hear.) To this castle all who heard him could acquire right and title by the payment of a single guinea in each year ; and it would.be amply endowed if every gentleman " on the road " would give half a crown on an appointed day in every year. (Hear, hear.) He wished to God that the members of his own order would follow the ex ample of the commercial travellers , and, being united, do an equal amount of good. Mr. Dickens, in conclusion, reminded the company that they could not fait to recognise among the children as they passed the likenesses of many " o ld familiar faces."• He hoped it would bo an isolated case when a commercial travel ler did not belong to this society, and help these poor children as if they were his own. With a warm compliment to the board of management and the head master, lie gave them " Prosperity to the Commercial Travellers Schools." The toast having been acknowledged with enthu siasm, the children were introduced, and were much admired for their healthy and respectable appear ande. They sang with much taste and precision several part songs. The Rev. Mr. BELLEW, in a humorous speech, re plete with quotations from the, Pickwick literature, proposed the health of the chairman. Mr. DICKENS briefly rotured thanks, and gave the health of Mr. Geo. Moore, to whom this insti tution was more indebted than to any other human being. (Loud cheers.) He proposed his health also because Mr. Moore was the benevolent com mercial giant who had accompanied him in his visit to the fairy castle. He (Mr. Dickens) would not be the Jack to kill such a giant. Mr. G. MOORE, after expressing his thanks for the honour conferred upon him, proceeded to lay the following accoust of the schools before the company :—The schools had been established 14 years, and in that time had prevented many of the children of their friends from now being the in mates of workhouses and reformatories. The funded property of the society amounted to £12,000. Their income last year was £4,'764, and their expenditure nearly £5,000 a year, leaving a small deficit, to liquidate which they looked confidently to sub scriptions. lie regretted that the support given to these schools by the commercial travellers was unworthy of the profession, and showed that, although the building would accommodate 120 children, the present funds were inadequate to support that number. The education given from first to last was well worth £3OO, and he wished to impress on them the benefits conferred by the society, in order that they might comb for- ward and support it as it deserved. The amount of subsciiptions announced during the evening was upwards of £l,OOO. Mr. Harker was the toast master on the occasion. CONTRACT FOR TELESCOPES.

At an early hour yesterday morning, and after a short illness, this venerable nobleman breathed his last. his lordship, although not quite the father of the Vpper House, was one of the very oldest, / members, having taken his seat soon after he at tained his majority in 1806, and sat, we believe, in sixteen Parliaments. He was the eldest surviving son of the celebrated Admiral Lord Viscount Dun can, K. 8., by Henrietta, daughter of the Right Hon. Robert Dundas, of Arniston, Lord President of the Court of Session in Scotland, and eldest brother of the famous Henry Dundas, first Viscount Melville. Lord Duncan had four sons, of whom two died in his lifetime. His third son, Robert Dundas Duncan-Haldane, succeeded to the family estates, and to the honours achieved by the great victory off Camperdown on the 11th of October, 1797, when the scheme of an invasion of Ireland by 40,000 troops under General Hoche, perished with the Dutch fleet, which, as the fruits of "that great day's renown," was either destroyed or captured. The late peer chose his place .from the first with U Whig opposition,-hut seldom spoke in Parliament till 1820, when he took some active part in the trial of Queen Caroline. In 1827 Mr. Canning's death prevented his accepting office under that Minister with Lord Lansdowne. In 1830-31 his lordship was prominent in the discussions in the House of Peers on the Scotch Reform Bill; and on the Coronation of William IV. he was elevated to the rank of an earldom, the King being pleased as his own special act, and as a tribute to the memory of the first peer, to adopt the unusual step in the case of a new crea tion of giving Lord Camperdown's brother and sisters the rank of earl's children. Of late years Lord Camperdown has not taken much part in public life, and beyond the ample circle of attached relations and friends, who shared his genial hos pitality, was best known amongst his own thriving tenantry and his neighbours in the country, by whom lie was generally beloved and respected. Lord Camperdown married, in 1805, Janet, daughter, of Sir Hew Dalrymple, Bart., of North Berwick and Tantallon Castle, in East Lothian, who still survives, together with two sons and two daughters. His lordship is succeeded by his eldest son, Viscount Duncan, the well-known M.P. for the county of Forfarshire, who was born in 1812, and married in 1839 Julia, eldest daughter of Sir George and the Hon. Lady Philipps, of Weston House, Warwickshire, by whom he has two sons, the elder of whom is Robert, now Viscount Duncan, of Balliol College, Oxford, and the second, George, is now at Eton. Lord Duncan's only daughter was lately married to Lord Abercromby. The late earl's younger son, the Hon. Hamilton Dunean, was for many years an officer in the Fusi lier Guards. His lordship's brother, Sir Henry Duncan, who died in 1835, was a distinguished naval captain. LECTURE ON QUEEN BLIZ.IBETII. Last evening a lecture was delivered at the Southwark Literary Institution, by Miss Sarah Thorne—a young lady who some short time since made a very successful debut at the Surrey Theatre as a tragedienne—on " The personal birth and cha racter of Queen Elizabeth, the events of her reign, and the effect of her life on the England of the pre sent day." Dr. Challice presided on the occasion, and in a few appropriate observations introduced the fair lecturer to the audience. Miss THORNE commenced her discourse by re ferring to the birth of Elisabeth at the Palace of Greenwich, and having glanced at some of the in cidents of her oarly childhood, alluded to the fact that, although she was remarkable for her winning ways, she was likewise remarkable for her haughty and arregant disposition—but this quality was to be attributed to the bold and daring race from which she sprung. Yet, notwithstanding this feature of her character, she loved the people of England, and was proud of their love for her, and this quality in her was manifested throughout her whole life. The lecturer then drew attention to the state of England at the death of Edward the Sixth, and to the rivalries which existed between the Protestant and Roman Catholic parties in the State, and to the efforts of each to obtain the ascendancy. The latter were triumphant during the reign of Mary, who, fearing Elizabeth, had her taken to the Tower as a traitor to the Queen ; but this charge Eliza beth always denied. At length the death of Mary placed Elizabeth on the throne of England, and then it was that, under her auspices, Protestantism struck its roots deep into the lard, and spread its influence through other countries of the world. Under Elizabeth the commerce of England flou rished ; our colonies were founded and extended ; arts, science, and literature obtained high positions amongst us; and some of the bravest sailors, sol diers, statesmen, poets, and scholars that ever ap peared in England, lived during the reign of the " good Queen Bess," as she was familiarly and fondly called. Although Queen Elizabeth was what was vulgarly called "a strong•rninded woman," yet she was womanly, and was very fond of children. She was, however, somewhat vain of her little hands and little feet; but this was a weakness which Miss Thorne seemed to think was not limited to Queen Elizabeth; for our own be- loved Queen Victoria was well known to have a very elegantly-proportioned arm, and somehow or other this fact was made to appear rather promi nently in every painting in which her Majesty was represented. The lecturer then adverted to the " one blot" upon the character of Queen Elizabeth, namely, the execution of Mary Queen of Scots ; and although Miss Thorne would palliate it on the ground of Mary's supposed guilt, she still did think it was a blot. The circumstances of the attempt of the Spaniards to land in this country were then adverted to, on which occasion Catholics as well as Protestants flocked to the standard of England's Queen, determined to defend her and their native country against foreign invasion. The death of Essex was next glanced at, and its effect upon the Queen was noticed in a very effective manner, making, as the occurrence did, the death-bed of Elizabeth a sad and painful picture to look upon. Such were the chief points in the lecture under consideration, which was neatly constructed throughout, and many portions of which were elo quently written. Miss Thorne, whose enunciation is clear and distinct, delivered the lecture in a most graceful and effective manner, and was frequently deservedly applauded by the audience. FEMALE INFANTICIDE IN INDIA. There are a few things for which the government of the late East India Company has more reason to be proud than for the vigorous measures it adopted for the suppression of female infanticide in Katty war. The men guilty of this crime belonged in general to the ruling classes, the punishment for which, in 1836, was a fine of Rs. 50, and, in 1841, a ffne of Its. 1,000. When ruling classes have become so cruel and unfeeling that without remorse or com punction they can, for the sako of paltry interests, put to death their own offspring, it is time that they be declared unfit to rule and load nations. Besides the inhabitants of Katty war, some of the hill tribes were guilty of this crime; they propitiated their deities with human sacrifices—such were the Merya sacrifices among the Khonds of Central India. It is a very easy thing, no doubt, to trace such sacrifices to a sacred-origin. That is not, the question. Can society benefit by any institu tions that countenance such crimes as the murder of female infants P We have always endeavoured to respect the religious systems of our subjects. In many instances we have yielded our own notions of what is right in favour of the prejudices of the natives. For many years we even showed our con nection with the worship of the people. We sent our soldiers to grace the solemn processions of the natives on their holy days—drew a revenue *Om the rites of heathens—and even laid our offerings on the altars of Hindostan. But surely the Go vernment could not carry its principles of religious toleration to the extent of permitting cruel rites, and could not look on calmly at the slaughter of children and the victims of the suttee—iiindoo widows on the pyre. Up to within a few years infanticide prevailed to an alarming extent in Kattywar. Dr. Wilson states (and his figures we think rather low, Major Walker making them nearly double) that 500 'in fants were put to death annually in Kutch and Kattywar. Iu half a century that makes 25,000 female infants murdered. Can such crime pass un noticed and un-retributed ? The provinces of Kutch and Kattywar were scarcely six years in continued peace or quiet. Bloodshed, rapine, and massacres were incessant. Since we put the tribes under tribute, anarchy has ceased, and with it has ceased those national crimes of which it was the meet retribution. PRICE 4D. STAMPED, SD. _DEP UT 4 TION FROM THE PEACE SOCIETY TO LORD J. RUSSELL. A deputation from the Peace Society waited, by appointinent, upon Lord J. Russell, at one o'clock yesterday, at the Foreign-office, to present a memo rial on our present relations with China. It con sisted of the following gentlenien :—:Messrs. Wrrn. Jonson, Wm. Allen, Thos. Binns, Richard Barrett, Joseph Cooper, W. E. Corner, Robt. Charleton, W. Holmes, JOhn Jones Edmund Fry, Revs. George Rose, Jabez Burns, 1).D., James 11. Wilson, W. H. Black, Sze. The deputation was introdueed by Dr. Hodgkin. Mr. Richard read the memorial, which, after de precating the manner in which the mission for the ratification of the Treaty of Tien-tsin hail been con dueted, expressed an opinion that it could not " be deemed unreasonable that the Chinese authorities should resist the passage of so formidable a force into their inner waters, to convoy a professed ambassador of peace; a force which they could hardly have regarded in any other light than as a menace and an affront, adapted, if not intended, to lower the die-nity of their sovereign in the estima tion of his am subjects." The memorialists add that they "are convinced that your lordship will lend no sanction or support to the immoral doc trine promulgated in certain quarters, that whe ther we were right or wrong as regards the quarrel at the Pam, it is necessary that -we should inflict summary vengeance on the Chinese, in order to maintain the prestige of our arms in the East." They also say, " they cannot conceal their appre hensions that large military successes in China may lead to consequences which it is impossible too strongly to dread and deprecate. The authority of the Chinese Government has been already griev °may shaken by internal convulsion ; and should a fresh assault from without lead, as may be justly feared, to its being still further impaired, we may find ourselves under the same alleged necessity' of mak ing territorial conquests in that country, which has been so often pleaded in excuse of our aggressions in India, until we have become entangled in a web of complications and responsibilities, as • regards the Chinese empire, where it would be equally difficult to advance or recede without danger and dis honour." In conclusion, they pray that Govern ment may " send instructions to our officials in China to avoid further hostilities with that coun try, and to adjust our relations with the Chinese Government on those principles of dignified con ciliation and forbearance which will he far more worthy the character of a great Christian nation, and more likely to extend our true influence in the East, than any mere triumphs of brute force, how everstartlin g or decisive." His lordship received the deputation with great courtesy, but said he could not admit that the memorial gave a correct statement of all the facts of the case. BANNS FEES AND MARRIAGES IN GLASGOW. A correspondent of the Glasgow Herald, in a letter on the subject of marriage, proclamations, says : "In no other town or parit in Scotland are the banns fees so enormous as in Glasgow. And as these fees do not now, as of old, go to theisupport of the poor, but to the aggrandisement of comfcrtable supernals, a stout stand out should at once be made against such a wholesale system of spoliation. Several presbyteries in Scotland have of late dis cussed the proclamation of banns question ; but our Town Council should seriously think of what they now encourage by allowing the present shamefnl fees to be exacted year after year. To my knov . hedge there are several couples living in concubinage be cause of the high rate of bannsfees. What labour ing man is able to pay Bs., and ls. additional for , filling up this schedule, besides £3 35., if in the Barony Parish, and £2 25., if in the City, Gorbals, or Govan ; and this, mark, for shirking the dis tinctly specified number of Sabbath-days, both by the civil and ecclesiastical statutes ? And if his bride resides in a different parish, these spoils are doubled. The finishing stroke would be the better of reform. Every minister should know who and what the parties are whom he intends to join in marriage. Instead of this, it is notorious that (as the end of this month will evidence) ministers, both of the Establishment and Dissenting, try to get hold of couples all and sundry, and invest the business with a commercial mantle—allowing their servants the 'Chance money' given at the door by the hest lieu or rc yrilar wager t This ac counts for the multiplicity of weddings at some ministers' houses. The majority of the 'couples they know nothing of, nor of their antecedents ; neither do they belong to their churches, nor to any chirch whatever. Stricter discipline on this head would have a beneficial effect in many ways. Doubtless it is but just that . ministers should get a con-si-der-a-tion for wor.z: performed; but let poor Betty' have her regular wage, and let the best man' not be reminded, when the knot is tied, that his chance money' must be forthcoming at the door. If the ministers knew the parties or something about them, or if they were seat holders or members of their churches, it would put an end to all indiscrimination." ENGLISH NEI;pIIANTs TRADING WITH MEXICO. Subjoined is the reply of Lord John Russell, as Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, to the me morial addressed to him for protection for the interests of the English merchants trading with Mexico : "Foreicen. Office, Dec. 16. " Gentlemen,—l am fully aware of evils which the present position of affairs in Mexico must inflict upon all merchants interested in the trade of that country. In structions have been repeatedly given to protect the persons and property of British subjects residing in Mexico, and her Majesty's Charge d'Afthires is active and zealous in carrying those instructions into effect. But unhappily, a civil war rages in that country between two parties, who, only intent upon destroying their adversaries, have very little respect for the rules of justice or the safety of pro- perty. " It is difficult to say which is the de facto Government, and while Groat Britain and Franco acknowlege the autho rity of the President who has possession of Mexico, the United States' Government recognise another President ruling at Vera Cruz. Her Majesty's Government are en deavouring to come to some understanding with other Powers respecting the advice to be offered, and you maybe assured that no opportunity will be lost of interfering by counsel with a view to bring about a termination of the present devastating and sanguinary war. " Your representations, as expressed in your present me morial, shall be transmitted to her Majesty's Charge d'Affaires at Mexico, and he will be instructed to use every exertion to promote the security of commercial dealings.— I have the honour to be, gentlemen, your most obedien humble servant, "J. RUSSELL. 3 Messrs. N. M. Rothschild and Sons, and others." THE RELIGIOUS DISSENSIONS IN ST. GEORGE'S IN THE EAST.—Yesterdity evening a ruzeting of the vestry of the parish of St. George in the East was held in the board room of the workhouse, Mr. Barrett in the chair. Tho vestry clerk reported that he had that morning received the following letter from the 11ev. Hugh Allen, M.A., the after noon lecturer of the parish :--" St. Jude's, Whitechapel, Dec. 22, 1859. My dear sir,-1 request you respectfully to inform the vestry that it is my intention to resign the lec tureship of St. George in the East on Monday week, the 2tl January next. Permit me at the same time to say that I shall ever retain a most grateful sense of the kindness of the vestry to me during the time I have held the lectureship.—l am, my dear sir, sincerely yours, Hugh Allen. IV. L. Howell, Esq., Vestry Clerk:' Mr. Churchwarden Thomp son moved that the letter be entered upon the minutes of the vestry, and gave notice that at the next meeting ho should move that the office be declared vacant, and that such measures as might bo deemed necessary should be adopted. Mr. hadt ephen Stephens received said fromhe could state Cadman, theh e Southwark, an intimation that he was about immediately to f leave for the rectory of Trinity district, St. Marylobone, to s a that 111 r. George's,Alln which he was some time since appointed by the crown. In vestry rectoro consequence of this communication Mr. Allen was oll . ged without which the Lord Chancellor had nominated him, Mr. Howell, delay. That was the reason of the resignation. h had received from Mr. I the vestry clerk, read a letter e hclerk, wing to ad- Verrall, resigning the office of pans _ g to proceed to the rectory of St. George's, Southwark, to fulfilling the duties in connection with his other engage ments.

THE ICING OF THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.--Mr. yawed ago and failure of sight, which prevented him from Manley Hopkins, the Hawaiian Consul General, thus the m group, ue s accompanied ex plains the recent at tem p ted assassination of his secretar y b y hi s Hawaiian Majesty : — "ln September last , his Hawaiian s g o naj,eisi believed by d h a tysmedical s tb visitingyle aeot he the m Queen,t yto b his private e without secretary, the slightest- foundation, the King became jealous of Mr. Nelson, and discharged his pistols at him, wounding him severely. Struck with immediate contrition at the unmanly deed he had been guilty of the. King's impulsive nature led him, besides making every possible reparation to the wounded man, to propose abdicating the throne, that he might become a commoner, amenable to the laws of his own country. His subjects, native and foreign, perceived in such an act the worst possible consequences to the islands. The steps made in moral and commercial advancement during the enlight ened reign of the present king would be lost ; and to Great Britain the foreign influences which might be urged upon any change of government would be highly detrimental. The Sandwich Islands are the central caravanserai of the Pacific for the commerce, which will increase, between the western coast of America and China and Japan. It is satis factory to learn by the mail received to-day that remon stances made to the King have inducsd him to reconsider his intention of resigning the crown." AND 310120 4"(n ,T 4 , e 6 (From the Timcs' Special CerrespV` /- ALGESIRASisItepi L V 14 While awaiting the departure of tlieltek,' seize a spare beur to send you a few additioM p titulars respecting the affair of the 9th inst. As far as they go I have reason to believe them authentic, since they are derived from persons who were pre sent, and who have just arrived here. On the de clivitous and thickly wooded ground in rear of the principal Spanish redoubt, so often referred to is previous letters, the Moors established themselves - before daybreak, forming an ambuscade, with the inteution, it is supposed, of attacking the deseu bierta, or body of troops habitually sent out the first thing in the morning to reconnoitre in front of the - lines. They also surrounded the redoubt itself, and, favoured by the darkness, got close up to it and fired through the embrasures, killing some of the artillerymen. It was found very difficult to get them out of the wood, and there wts some hard fighting, in which it is probable that they suffered a good deal, and certain that the Spanish experi enced a loss of between 300 and 400 men killed and wounded. There was fighting going on frow day break till 2 p.m. Thetfoors displayed their usual desperate valour, refusing quarter and giving none. It is said that two prisoners were made, but were killed as they were being taken to the rear, whether by the caz.Ldors or by some of the armed galley slaves does not appear certain. At any rate, they would have been the first prisoners made in this war, fer the Moors do not seek to save their lives when once they see that escape is impossible. An officer told me that in one of the previous actions three of them were surrounded and had no chance of getting away ; they stood firm, waited the approach of their enemies, deliberately aimed and fired their 4spingardas, and then bent their heads to receive the death-blow. They do all they can to take away their dead, keeping up a heavy fire to corer the removal of the bodies—perhaps that their loss may not be known, but more probably from some religious principle. If you saw the ground on which the recent fight took place you would under stand far better than from any explanation of mine how unfavourable it is to the action of regular . troops, and how advantageous to lithe savages, un- - encumbered, and of first-rate skill in availing of, every sort of cover. The details of the contest now going on remind one of episodes of the war with the North American Indians in the last century, and of some of the earlier and disastrous campaigns of the Russians against the Circassians. Well acquainted with the ground, skilful in the use of their arms,' reckless of their lives, the Moors prove most for midable antagonists. They may lose more than their antagonists, and it is very probable that they do so, but they can better afford the loss. Hitherto all the skirmishes and actions that have taken place have terminated in favour of the Spaniards—that is to say, they have driven back the enemy and main tained their positions; but what have they gained? Absolutely nothing, and they have had, according to their own account (which I have no reason to believe otherwise than correct) upwards of 1,000 men put hors de combat. This is in 20 days. They cannot, of course, afford to go on at' this rate. Three months of such victories would be very de structive, to say nothing of the effect upon the morale of the soldier, who finds himself opposed to an astute, desperate, and almost intangible foe. The Spanish troops still display an excellent spirit, but they will need more decided advantages to sustain it in presence of the many hardships the3.llave to suffer. And, unfortunately, disease continues to weaken them. Three or four days ago one corps d'artnee was sending 70 toBo men per diem into hos pital. lam assured that the daily number of sick from the whole army at present in Africa is now about 200 per diem, which is the same proportion. Probably these are not all cholera cases, but it is certain that the majority are, and we must reckon as defaulters from the ranks, not only those who die, but those who, being severely attacked, ulti mately recover. At least, the doctors here tell mo that a man who has had a bad attack of cholera is rarely fit for duty much within three months. Of course, constant reinforcements are necessary. Five hundred men sail to-day from this place to Ceuta. mn§tJinpe, however,..that these ban* akir mishes-and this waste from disease will not long con tinue. -A move is greatly wanted, but as-yet there is no sign of it. They are working away at a road near the coast in the direction of Tetuan, against which place there is scarcely a doubt the first really seri ous attempt of the Spanish army will be directed. The first Moorish cavalry that have been seen in this war made their appearance on the 9th. They were at a considerable distance, and were not en gaged. Indeed, the ground on which the affair took place is most unfavourable to cavalry. As was to be expected, the exaggerated reports yesterday current in Gibraltar are hourly receiving contradic- tion. Among other things, it was said that Gen. Prim had cut off 2,000 Moors. There is every rea son to believe that Gen. Prim's division, although it made a move towards the left, was not engaged. A rumour of more fighting yesterday is also con tradicted, as well as the statement of the death of Gen. O'Donnell's nephew. I have met with seve ral officers, some sick, others wounded, returning to Spain from Africa. Making all allowance for the feeling of discouragement natural to their con dition, it still is quite evident to me that the army, at least, takes by no means the same san guine and cheerful view of the African war which it was reported to do before the contest com menced. Deficiencies have been laid bare, want of preparation exposed, which the majority had not reckoned upon, or even dreamt of. It is hoped that there will soon be an amendment. I hear of active measures being taken. Large supplies have been ordered—so large as to induce a belief that the Spanish Government expects the war to be of longer duration than was at first anticipated. A number of bakers are being sent over to Africa, in order that the bread may be made there, instead of being sent from Spain. I hear also that an hospi tal will shortly be in readiness beyond the Serail°, an establishment greatly needed, in order to obviate the necessity of at once sending the wounded all the way into Ceuta. Evan when the bulk of the army shall move away, it will be necessary to leave a considerable force in the lines in front of Ceuta, in order to cover our rear and keep communications open. But I must clone this letter, and hope to ) morrow to write to you from the camp. According to the aina Telegraph the contract for the Falmouth and Gibraltar submarine cable has been taken by Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Co., i of Leadenhall street. That for Rangoon and Singapore s not yet settled, and it is just possible that the Gibraltar ono may be used for that link. Nothing has been decided by Government as to ru nning a steamer from Alex andria to Candle for the pur pose of carrying telegrams. SWALLOWING COINS.—On Wednesday last two notorious pickpockets, named George Turner and Joseph Edwards, were placed in the dock before the county magis trates, at Rochester, on a charge of having picked the pocket of a female, named Mace, of a paper containing four half-sovereigns and three sovereigns. Edwards was also further charged with having, at the time of his appre hension, swallowed the whole of the money., The prisoners, who were well known to the police at *Chatham, were ob served to go into Globe-lane, where Edwards entered the shop of a second-hand clothes dealer, named Mace, and inquired the price of an article hanging up in the shop. Mrs. Mace went to reach it down, when Edwards very cleverly picked her pocket of the above amount, which she had deposited there only a minute or two before he entered the shop. After examining the article asked for, Edwards made some trifling excuse and left, immediately joining the other prisoner outside. They were afterwards seen in com pany by Superintendent Everist, who, being aware of their character, watched them for some time. A very short time after Edwards had left the shop Mts. Mace discovered that her pocket had been picked, and suspecting Edwards, gave notice to the police. Mr. Everist and another officer went in pursuit of them, ultimately overtaking them at Rainham. On being charged with the robbery both prisoners pro tested their innocence, and demanded to be searched, which was done, Edwards all the while continually moving up and down, "just the same," as Mr. Eve rist expressed it, "as if ho had been hung on. wires." The result of the search did not load to the discovery of the money, but Mr. Everist observing a protub :ranee of Edwards's cheek, touched it, when ho distinctly bard the rattle of gold. Edwards, however, denied having any money in his mouth, but the officer, on placing his tinge/ s in it, distinctly felt two or three sovereigns under the •tongue. Ills efforts to get them out, were fruitless, the prisoreor swal lowing the whole of the money, and severely bit ,ng the officer's finger. Both prisoners said they were dot( rmined not to be taken, and fought most furiously ; 1 nit Mr. Everist soon settled the matter by putting the ha - ai scuffs on them and taking them to the station-house. T h e money ; was now produced before the magistrates. Th e prisoner • Edwards seemed to have suffered Severely since his extra . ordinary act of swallowing at one time seven pie ces of geld coin.
