An erroneous impression existo that public announcements on these disorders emanate only from unqualified persons, but as the new Medical Act provides that none but registered practitioners shall assume any medical title, those that are legally qualified can readily be distinguished—a point ofgreat importance in cases where secrecy, confidence, and skill are equally requisite. In the new edition of Self-Preservation,' facts of para mount utility are brought together—facts appealing to the prudence of all who are suffering from affections which in volve the enfeeblement and ultimate loss of those powers without which man fbrfeits the dignity of nature, and sinks to the most pitiable depths of physical and moral degradation.

A meeting of the Western Bank of London was held yesterday, Mr. Roebuck, M.P., presiding, when the agreement for the transfer of the busi ness of the bank to the London and County was approved, and resolutions were passed for winding up. A long and stormy discussion took place, but the facts elicited can be comprised within a narrow compass. It appeared that the auditors had made certain allegations against the mana g er and had requested his suspension. This the directors acceded to chiefly, as they allege, from compulsion, and the circumstance becoming known was circulated with a variety of exaggerations. The result was a withdrawal of public confidence, and consequently a gradual but steady reduction in the balances and deposits, a falling off of 18 per cent. having occurred between the Ist of March and the 30th of April. It became necessary to take immediate steps to dispose .of the business before its entire value was lost, and a transfer to the London and County was accord ingly arranged. The directors, after a full and complete investigation, have come to the unanimous opinion that the charges against the manager are groundless. A:cording to the accountant employed by the board, the assets are sufficient to pay all creditors, and to return £4O of the £5O per share paid up. An instalment of £l5 is expected to be divided in August. The ultimate loss is thus stated at £40,000, of which about £2o,ooorarises in the realisation of stock, &c. The auditors, who have carefully examined the books, estimate the total deficiency at £50,000. The unfortunate termination of the career of the bank was charged on the one side to general mismanagement, and on the other to the alleged intemperate conduct of the auditors. Notice was drawn to the large amount of overdue bills, promissory notes, and overdraughts on current account. Annexed is the balance sheet : WESTERN BANK OF LONDON. BALANCE-SHEET, MAY 17, 1859. DR.

Her Majesty's birthday was celebrated in the metropolis by the usual display of illuminations, transparencies, and flags, the attractions of which, notwithstanding the unsettled weather, were suffi cient to cause the main thoroughfares of the central and western portion of London to be densely crowded from dusk until some time after midnight. 'The' wind was rather too high to permit the gas illuminations (which have almost entirely super seded the old oil lamps) to bk Z forth with their best effects, but upon the whole the evening was not unfavourable. Firstamong the blazing tributes of loyalty were, of course, the club-houses, most of which presented devices which, if not very novel, were, at least, not less brilliant than upon former similar occasions. THE THEATRES. The Haymarket—A. massive star gas jets. Princess's—A brilliant ill um i na tion, cons i s ting of the word " Princess's," with a crown; the whole in jewelled crystal', and lighted by jet s o f gas .

In consequence of the absence from Woolwich of Major-General Bloomfield, Aide-de-Camp in atten dance on her Majesty for the day, the command of the garrison yesterday devolved on Col. Stransham, commandant of that division of Royal Marines and senior officer in succession. Colonel Stransham yesterday reviewed the troops on Woolwich-com mon, in celebration of her Majesty's birthday. The troops, consisting of a portion of the siege and field batteries and the brigade of Royal Horse Artillery, amounting to about 4,000 men and 750 horses, one battalion of Royal Marine Light Infantry, and one company of Royal Engineers, were drawn up in double line, facing the staff position. The ground was kept by about 1,500 of the RoyaLArtillery and the Riding-house establishment. At 12 o'clock a salvo of 21 guns from the saluting battery an nounced the commencement of the proceedings, which were followed by the firing of 12 guns from the batteries on the ground. At the same time the Commandant and Staff took up their position under the flagstaff. The firing was then taken up by the infantry, who fired three rounds of musketry up and down the entire line as a feu de joie, which was performed with extreme regularity and pre cision. Immediately afterwards (the rain falling incessantly during the review) the whole of the troops uncovered and gave three loud and hearty cheers for the Queen, and after marching past they retired to quarters. The Queen's birthday was celebrated at Ports mouth yesterday with the usual loyal demonstra tions. The Victory and other ships in the harbour, with the Hannibal and Doris at Spithead, were dressed out in bunting from truck to deck. At noon Royal salutes were fired from the Victory, Hanni bal, and Doris, and also from the saluting battery on the King's Bastion. The troops in the garrison, comprising a mounted battery of Royal Artillery of six guns and 82 h orses , f our - batteries of garrison artillery, one company of Royal Engineers, Ist Battalion Rifle Brigade, Royal Wilts Militia, 2d Royal. Cheshire Militia, Royal Limerick County Militia, and Suffolk Militia Artillery, nearly 3,000 men of all arms, were paraded on Southsea-common in heavy marching order. On the arrival of Major- General Sir James Yorke Scarlett and Staff on the ground the troops formed in line, with the artillery on the right, who commenced the Royal salute in honour of the day with seven guns, when the infantry followed with a feu de joie, the artillery again taking up the fire with seven more guns, and the infantrffollowing, until the whole 21 guns were fired, three hearty cheers being then given by the men for the Queen. The troops then broke into open column, right in front, marching past the General and his staff in quick time, which closed the proceedings. A large number of spectators were present. The day, was observed as a close holiday in the dockyard and other public establishmedts., Yesterday Major-General Eyre, commanding at Chatham, assembled the whole of the troops at that them through garrison o n Chatham-lines the m manoeuvres u the r e purpose field-day, of put ting-d a in honour of her Majesty's birthday. Yesterday being appointed for celebrating her Majesty's birthday, a Royal salute was fired from her Majesty's ship Hastings, now lying in the Mersey, at Liverpool, at noon. The ship was dressed with flags over all from stem to stern. Her Majesty's ship Liffey, one of the finest frigates in the service, arrived in the Mersey during the day, and joined in the proceedings. The usual holiday was given at the Custom-house in acknowledgment of the event, and the public buildings were decorated with flags.

Mr. Secretary Sotheron-Estcourt entertained the follow ing yesterday at a banquet at his mansion in Eaton-place to celebrate her Majesty's birthday :—The Lord Chancellor, the Lord Chi e f Justice, the Lord Chief Baron, Sir J. Stuart, Sir C. Cresswell, Sir R. Kindersley, Si r W. Pa g e Wood, Mr. Baron Bramwell, Mr. Baron Channell, Mr. Justice Hill, Mr. Justice Wightman, Mr. Justice Erle, Mr. Jus tice Willes Mr. Justice Williams , Dr. Lushin g ton, the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, Mr. Sheriff Hale, Sir James Duke, Baron Rothschild, the Earl of March, Mr. Wad ancient military corps assembled at the fine parade. ground, Finsbury, to go through their customary drill celebration of her Majesty's birthday, The weather, unfortunately, was very much against this display, and operated so injuriously upon the atten dance of the members of the corps that very little more than 100 out of the full strength of 400 officers and men were on the ground. The companies were under the command of Major Middleton, and paraded soon after three o'clock. Twenty-one guns having been fired by the artillerymen, and a feu de joie in honour of the day, the companies marched past at slow and quick time, and afterwards went through all the evolutions of which so small a body was capable. Taping everything into consideration, all the movements were performed exceedingly well —not perhaps with the quickness or precision of regular troops, but certainly with steadiness and good order which came very near it, and which showed that the drill had been no matter of form, and that a very little additional practice would suffice to place the corps on a par with the average of regiments of the Line. The artillerymen served their pieces with quite as much rapidity and care as is displayed by our field batteries, and the firing of the companies in volley was exact to a second. There was nothing in this celebration more note worthy than in other similar displays which have always been made on these occasions, and our object in noticing it is to direct public attention to the existence of this organised body at a time when the note of preparation for the establishment of volun teer corps is ringing through the land. The Hon. Artillery Company, notwithstanding that the num ber of its members has of late years rather dimi nished, is the oldest and at the same time one of the best volunteer corps of its kind in Eng land. The system of drill and training is admi rable, and the organisation of the Company, whether appertaining to efficiency of discipline or to the management of its own wants and concerns, is excellent. The corps was established as early as the commencement of the reign of Henry VIII., and the prints and effig;e4 whirlli-yet remain of its arms and equipments at that time—the men cased in heavy mail and armed with heavier crossbows, may well raise a smile among the present members of the same Company, who wear nothing more de fensive than scarlet broadcloth, and who are armed with the light but deadly Enfield rifle: With the general introduction of cannon, the companies of the regiment received pieces of ordnance, and were trained to use them with such skill and coolness as to gain the title of Artillery Company for the whole body. From that hour to the present the Company has existed with a greater or less number of mem bers, and more or less efficiently trained according as the exigencies of the nation seemed likely or not to stand in need of such aid in London. During this long interval the records of the Company have been carefully kept, and among the names of the colonels or members, of the corps we find the auto graphs of, the most distinguished Sovereigns, war riors, and noblemen of the period. The names of Charles 1., Charles 11., the Duke of York, Rupert, Monmouth, Ormond, Buckingham, Albemarle, William 111., George of Denmark, George I. 11., and 111., with William IV., the long list concluding with the sign manual of the Queen, granting new privileges, and that of the Prince Consort as a mem ber and colonel of the corps. The present rules of the corps admit volunteers of the height of 5 feet 6 inches by ballot among the members. All new volunteers go at once to the care of the drill ser geant, and, that the convenience of every member may be best consulted, this officer lives near the parade ground, and recruits can come and go through their drill whenever it is most suitable to themselves. The full and undress uniform — which is precisely similar to that of the Guards, except that the facings are silver braid instead of white worsted—is paid for by the member, who has also to pay a subscription annually to the funds of the corps of two guineas. The Enfield rifle is pro vided by the Company, and, that all the mem bers may be perfect in its use, an excellent shooting gallery, upwards of 100 yards in length, is erected near the parade, in which members can come and practise every day, and all day long if they so please, the Company supplying the car tridges. When a volunteer has got over all his drill difficulties he is attached to a company as an effec tive member. A muster is held twice a week in summer, every Monday and Thursday evening, from 6 till 8, At these the attendance of members is, of course, reauested for general drill, but, unless in case of sickness, the rules only require an atten dance on 24 days in the year—a number which under special circumstances is allowed to be re duced to 12. Twelve attendances at muster and fo artrthea nstCompanyhowever, advantages e s i s lave ht drill ei edh. in b t B h e ul e ot n course go sn etoof t theha ef membersomn e o st year ini that all can learn how to serve artillery if they choose, and that a certain number must. For this purpose there are four beautiful brass field guns which belong to the corps, and with these the members have attained such proficiency in their me as even to make better practice at the butt at Woolwich than would be exhibited by most of our regular field batteries. The 10-feet targets which have been used and some of which are hung in th e h a ll o f th e building at Finsbury, show unquestionable tokens of great precision in firing. The whole regiment is now supposed to consist of three divisions,—one for artillery, one of companies for ordinary regimental duty, and one rifle corps. The last, however, exists only in name, and has been merged into the regimental com panies, which now carry rifle practice to the greatest perfection. Now, however, that the rifle corps, movement has commenced, it is wished to raise a distinct body of riflemen, or to confine the training entirely to riflemen and artillery drill.

The screw steamship Revenge, 91, was warped from the Devonport Dockyard to the sheer hulk to have her jury-masts taken ont. The screw steamship Lion, 80, was taken into Keyham basin, Plymouth, on Wednesday. The building , of the various ships now in progress at Pembroke dockyard is carried on with the greatest energy and despatch. Never during the Russian war was there more activity shown than now. Not only are all the shipwrights employed on job and task work, but they labour from seven o'clock in the morning until seven at night, with only half an hour at dinner, instead of the customary time. Two Norwegian men-of-war (a corvette and a schooner) were off Falmouth on Wednesday at one p.m., and had taken pilots for the anchorage. By a letter yesterdak received at Woolwich from her Majesty's steam storeship Supply at Gibraltar it appears that the ship experienced a stress of most severe weather in the Mediterranean. She took out a number of boys and provisions for the navy, to be landed at 'Gibraltar and Malta, and was to proceed thence to Asia Minor. The letter states that- the ship rolled so much, and shipped so much sea, that they were seldom able to cook a meal. The foremast was bent nearly double for four days, and on the fifth it broke about eight feet from the deck, and fell. Fortunately no one was injured. The repair of damages which the ship has sustained it is calculated will amount to at least £2,000. The- steam storeships Dee and Rhadamanthus, from the western yards, yesterday arrived at Wool wich. Her Majesty's paddlewheel steam frigate Fire brand, commissioned at Woolwich by Commander Joseph Dayman, is being masted and preparing for service. Her armament will consist of four 10 inch 84 cwt. guns, and two 68-pounder 95 cwt. pivot guns. Sixty-five volunteers for the Royal Navy were forwarded from Liverpool to London on Monday, and 35 on Wednesday. ' The enrolment goes on steadily at the usual rate of about 20 per day. TILE ARMY. General Williams has taken leave of Woolwich garrison, and will sail this (Friday) evening from Liverpool in the steam packet America, to assume the duties of his new post. The General is accom panied by Major Williams and Captain Woolsey, from the old college at Sandhurst, as his aides-de camp. The following appeared in garrison orders at Woolwich on Wednesday evening, issued by Major-General Bloomfield : " Major-General NI illiams cannot take leave of the gar rison without offering to the commanding officers of corps, as well as to the officers, non-commissioned officers, and men under their respective commands, his thanks for the manner in which they have supported him in the main tenance of that discipline for which the garrison has always been distinguished. The Major-General will carry with him to his distant command the warmest wishes for the welfare of those whom he has had the good fotune to com mand for so long a period." - - Lieut. Hamilton, Ensign Boyle, and 101 non commissioned officers and men of the 4th battalion Rifle Brigade arrived in Portsmouth from Win chester yesterday, and were immediately conveyed in the Partridge gunboat, under the immediate superintendence of Col. Somerset, C. 8., M.P., to Spithead, where they were transhipped to her Ma jesty's ship Hannibal, to join the service companies of the battalion in Malta. It is understood that two additional companies of Royal Engineers will shortly be despatched from headquarters Chatham, for the purpose of erecting and repairing defences on various parts of the coast. WOUNDING A PARENT.—The Court of Assizes of the Charente three days ago tried a young man named Gorin, of St. Brive, for cutting and wounding his parents. It was proved that for a long series of years he had been in the habit of brutally ill-treating his mother, who unfor tunately was given to think, and acting ill towards o his ' father also when he tried to protect his wife against the young man's brutality. But they bore with him until 18.56, when, his savage conduct having exceeded all bounds, they complained to the police. They were, however, afterwards reluctant to appear against him, an d no p ro secution was instituted. Emboldened by this circum stance, the young man became worse than before, repeat edly striking his mother in the face, sometimes even with a bottle, and throwing chairs at her ; whilst he kicked and struck his father—on one occasion thrusting a lighted can dle into his face. At length on the 4th Septemb er the neighbours of the Gorilla heard cries of " 31 helpurder the au l and on rushing into their house they found that after beating in the most savage manti mother, was standing . with a gun aimedat 'ury declared the to fire.
