A short though interes'ing experiment was made yes "thiY oil the parade-ground of the dockyard, in the presence of Commodore the Hon. Montaeu Stopford, Clptain - Superintend en t C. Hope, Captain Mundy, of the London, 9 0; Comm an d er H . Pryce of the Monarch, Mr. Aylen, M aster-Attendant, and several of the of fi cers of the ships i n p ort, for the purpose of ascertaining the , canting properties of the several anchors. The whole of them, eight in number, were placed in a line on their stock end, and a 36-fathom loegth of chain was succes sively bent on to each, with tackle and running gear attached to it. Upon this a party of marines hove smartly until the anchors canted into biting positions. In this instance the American anchor achieved a tri umph, turning over immediately the strain was applied. Tho distances dragged by each of the others before cant ing were very trifling. Aylen's was drawn 22 inches, which was the greatest of any. In this respect, there fore, there is comparatively little difference between them. The officers present evidently evinced much in terest in these imnortaet experiments, from which much pra ties' information of the present s t a t e o f the anchor art may be gained. A general meeting of the members of the committee will be holden et the deekyard on Monday, the 13th in 4., at 9 A.M., to take into consideration some import ant matters then to be brought under nutier., end to select those anchors which have proved the most efficient during Ihe previous trials for further testing at the .Nure and elsewhere. 11.7115 1 ,13 • , d, N 0 .18,710.] LONDON !

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. "Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi cal reader. We trust 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, May 30, 1851. —" 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 till their own purses. The difference between true Sperma torrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately described, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady "—Medical Circular, May 5, 1852. - We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preliminary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the ' brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—Dublin Medical Press, April P 4,1852. No. 11. PRACTICAL HINTS. The season having been a wet one, Sportsmen have scarcely commenced their campaign, though the Game is plentiful, but speedy pr'parations are now being made for Sporting Excurs , ons. Let Sportsmen remember that the only Establishments where Dress every way appropriate can be obtained with Dispatch and Economy are those of E. MOSES and SON, their Style and Cut superseding that of every house in the world ; and their celebrated Boots, ex pressly made for Sportsmen, being proof against wet and damp. B. MOSES and SON'S Clothing for the present time is designed with surprising ingenuity, being light and waterproof, elegant and com fortable, and in variety which affords inimitable opportunities for selecting suitable attire for railway excursions, for youths' and children's wear, for every class and for all occupations ; each article being cheaper, better, and more fashionable at E. MOSES and SON'S than any dress which can be obtained elsewhere. ENCOURAGEMENT FOR EMIGRANTS. M. L. Faucher, Minister of the Interior of France, has arranged facts and calculations p rovin g that the present Gold Di gging go on for twen t y -five years, and will, during that period, be as may ss r b e nefit to all the Sta tes in Europe : nor can the standard value of gold decrease before that time. Emigrants may therefore go to the with the most flattering prospects of success; but before ° they embark they should visit the great Outfitting Establishment of MOSES E. MOSES and SON, where a Department is expressly devoted to Emigrants' Outfitting, where all the Goods, Utensils, Clothing, ,sec., &c., they will require are always ready. Being prepared with the experience rf the most extensive outfitters in the world, E. and SON'S Outfits are more suitable ani cheaper than the inferior goods offered elsewhere. , All requisite information relative to sailing tio of vessels post f & c., free , and full Lists of Outfits, may be had on applican, or to any part of the kingdom.

BELFAST, MONDAY EvaisaN6.---The sections re sumed their sittings in the Queen's College this morning, and the proceedings were listened to by crowds of visitors- SECTION E.-GEOGRAPHY AND ETHNOLOGY. Sir R. Murchison, President of the Royal Geo graphical Society of Loudon, took the ch3►r in th!s sectiJu. Colonel Chesney commenced the proceedings by reading an able and interesting paper upon the coin p irativii merits of the route to ladia written in com pliance with the request o f D r. Robinson. T oo use of the overland route d a ' e d f rom almost the discovery of India i'sell. The far-seei ng Eli zabet h ma i n t a i ne d , a fleet at Bir to facili , at e trade alo ng the Euphrates, which, being then the high road to I n dia, was con stantly made use of by Balbi, Filch, and others, who had occasion to march by th at line with merchandise. The route from Europe s e es b _ y Alexandretta and Aleppo to Bir on the Euphrates, from whence the goods were carried by boats. The Gallant Colonel then reminded the audience that even in the time of Herodotus, Mesopotamia wa s a country of consider able commercial importance ; and at present, al- I though the value to Engla n d of Bagdad, an d th e other productive seats of 'commerc e , w as greatly diminished by the cessation by th e East Ind i a Com pany of the intercourse which p rev i ously existed, ye t the trade between India and the Persian Gulph amounted to about two mitlions a year. The li ne o f the Euphrates had another advant age. Th e di rect li ne from London passes through Vien na , C onstant i nop l e , and Asia Minor, to Aleppo, whence, by the Desert of The route by the Red 'MI co n ti nue d t h roug h manner, but, being less ss A pe r ea a e Arabia, i ya a ",d the hb t ee r e ehra regular u e e s dl a irßh uatransit transit a . r ' s s Arabia up to the year 1815. lei s acquaintance with Mesopotamia commenced in consequence of his having set out for Constantinople in 1829, to assist in the defence of Turkey against the Russians. He arrived at the close of the war, and then undertook a journey into Asia Minor, with the object of examining the proposed lines of communication with India, and made a detailed report to Government, allowing twenty-two days between Bombay and Alexandria. This was the first proposal founded on examination for opening a steam communication by the Red Sea. The energy and activity of Waglaorn, however, had performed the transit in fifteen, and even twelve, days. Having described the difficulties which he had en countered in pursuing his course, having been car ried off by the Arabs, Colonel Chesney stated that, on regaining his`freedom be continued hi s j ourney across the Great Desert, and succeeding in reaching the Euphrates, pursuing his course from Damascus by Palmyra. Having constructed a raft of thirty three inflated skins, he was launched upon the great river, accompanied b y three Arabs, and made his way to Felujah, o p pos i te Bagdad, not, however, without meetin g with some so danger, rah,a n a d n and ultimately thence from Persian G u lf. The I3abylon to Bus- Gallant Lecturer then gave a gener a l d escription of the Euphrates, which, he observed, was entitled to even more than its celebrated name of the Fourth River of Paradise, being wide, deep, and highly pic turesque, flowing between ancient aqueducts, irri gating luxuriant groves of date trees, and the richest wheat cultivation. He then traversed 1,700 miles of Russia, and some 1,800 miles through Asia Minor, which enabled him to examine the sources of the rivers and the country between it and the Mediterra nean, having spent three years and a quarter in the exploration. He then made a report, urging the es tablishment of alternate communication by the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf. King William IV. took a lively interest in the matter, which was taken up by Lords Palmerston, Ripon, and Lansdowne, and after deliberation by the House of Commons, the sum of 20,0001. was at length voted for an expedition to the Euphrates and Tigris, and in 1835 he sailed in com mand of it, consisting of two flat-bottomed iron steamers, with a staff of scientific and other officers, together with persons qualified to put together the vessels, which were in pieces. On arriving at the mouth of the Orontes, the Pacha of Egypt, Mo hammed Ali, in violation of his engagements with the Government, refused to allow the exploration to proceed ; but, being determined not to be stoppEd, they disembarked the materials, and carried their ships overland, notwithstanding all obstructions and difficulties, a distance of 147 miles from the mouth of the Orontes, to Port William, in Egypt, a p.ma which he gave the place in honour of the Ling. The Go vernment, however, having then refused to grant any more funds, he was compelled either to give up the expedition or appeal to the assistance of his friends, and, determining not to abandon it, be obtained an advance of 3000/. more. The gallant colonel then described the terrible effect s of a whirlwind, which, although it lasted hut 15 minutes, destroyed the Tigris, one of the vessels on the Euphrates, at Wirde, ',bout 500 miles from both the Mediterranean and the Persian Gulf, and committed great havoc on the ex pedition, and which was unpsralleld in violence, ex cept by a storm which destroyed the fleet of Julian the Apostate, near the same place. The Arabs, how ever, unlike some of their countrymen at home, showed them the greatest kindness. He had previously received orders from the Government to break up the expedition on reaching the Per sian Gulf ; but, lest he should dishearten the offi cers of the expedition, he did not communicate the matter to them until some time afterwards ; and then, conceiving that the circumstances would justify them in not obeying these directions, he consulted with them as to persevering with it, and they at once agreed, and even gave u p a portion of their pay in order to reduce the expenses. They then continued their survey of the river, and afterwards went up the Tigris to the distance of more than 300 miles, to Bagdad, the city of the Kaliphs. The steamer every where created great surprise, the Arabs having a prophecy amongst them, that when iron should swim on the surface of the water their dominion wa s to en(] They came several hundred miles to ascertain the fact, and at first believed that the vessel went along the bottom of the river by wheels. Having related others difficulties in the expedition, and further in q uiries which it made, Colonel Chesney s tated that fresh t orders having arrived, to b rea k up the party, fromtheres returned to England, whil e h e followed, taking Bombay important disp a t c h es, an d ma king a direct journey eht journey of nearly 1,000 m il es from s ea to sea, the distance from Damascus an d B e i rou t being b accom plished in 19 days.

The Arabs had e v i nce d a most favourabl e disposition in his intercourse with th em, and proved remarkably faith ful in transportin g not only all their stores, but up wards of 6,0001. i n sma l l sums ; and the existence of commercial inter course for centuries with Arabia proved that there could be no difficulty in extending relations with that country. I n conclusion, the gal lant lecturer pointed on; the superior fertility of Alronpotatnia, aud the opportunitie s which it presented for introducing our manufactures, and also for col°. niz ttion. In reply to the president, Dr. Lec, the Rev. S. Smith, Mr. Coll, and other gentlemen, Colonel Ches ney gave satisfactory explanations respecting the in frequency of storms, the peaceful disposition of the Arabs, the salubrity of climate, protection of travel lers, and other points upon which he was interro gated, and, after some conversation upon the subject, the thanks of the section were voted to him. Captain Allen, RN , then read a paper propo s i n g , in the first instance, to account for proofs of fiuddEt drainage in the valley of the Jordan, as shown by terraces 500 feet above it, which have been noticed by Lieut. Lynch, U. S. N., and Dr. Robinson; also more recent proofs, in hills with flat summits, exhibiting horizontal deposit, but with torn sides ; parallel raised beaches near the Dead Sea, &c. Such drain age, having lowered the Dead Sea 1,400 feet below the Mediterranean, could have no connexion with the catastrophe recorded in Scripture. In the course of the investigation of the accounts of other travellers, at the southern end of the Wady Arabs, and his own observations at the northern end of the valley of the Jordan, Captain Allen had reason to think that be tween the gulf of Akabab and the southern Ghor or Evady there is a tract of very low ground, and also on the other hand from the plain of Isdraelon, so that the waters of the Mediterranean and the Red Sea were kept in by those low tracts ; and if they were cut through there would be water communication with the East Indies, by means of a ship canal in the greater part by nature through that depressed valley and that the expense would be very small, because, if a new canal were cut for a small way, the force of the Atlantic and the aid of gunpowder would very soon cut a channel sufficiently large for navigation of the largest ships. Captain Allen pointed out the ad vantage which this course would be to the Sultan in opening up communication with an important portion of country which now but partially recognises his authority, and also to the pilgrims, so that there would not be a probability of having opposition to encounter. By this means he thought a more direct and expedious route to the East could be obtained. After some conversation upon the subject, the thanks of the section were given to Captain Allen for his paper. Learned papers were then read by the Rev. Dr. Hincks on the connexion between the Indian, Euro pean, Semitic, and Egyptian forms of the personal pronoun; _and by Professor M'Douall on the present state of Medo-Persian philology. The latter gentleman also read an interesting ac count of a journey across Africa from Zanzibar to Angola, as communicated from the Foreign-office to the Royal Geographical Society. SECTION F.—STATISTICS. His Grace the Archbishop of Dublin presided, as on the preceding days, in this section on Saturday. Mr. Gilbert commenced the proceedings by read ing a second paper on the laws of the currency in Ireland, showing that the circulation of notes began to decline every January, slowly at first, but afterwards more rapidly until July, and reached its lowest point in August. It then began to rise, and con , tinned to do so until January, w h en i t again declined. This was accounted for by the fact that in September the harvest began to be disposed of, and the rent to the landlord was paid about the end of the year, when the notes returned to the bank, either to be placed to the account of the landlord, or converted into cash. The total number of banks of issue was 163, of which 76 were in Ulster. As Ireland had a population of 6,500,000, and as the population of Ulster was only two millions, their pro portion of banks out of 163 would have been only 30. In some portions of the country the money circulation of small notes (under Si.) was only fifty per cent. of the whole returns, in Ulster it was 86 per cent.— owing to the peculiarities of the linen trade requiring small accounts in the purchase of materials, paying for the manufacture, &c., though lately the trade had undergone some change by which small amounei r he ir of money were not so much required as formerly. the il hanks The average amount the purpose o f gold f makingen end silver kept notesb by varied from 29 to 38 pt.:. cent. Gold could now be so readily obtained from Euglind by steamboats and railways that it was not at present necessary to put so large an amount of gold and silver in their coffers as formerly. The recent discoveries of gold in Australia and CaliforAitt had affected the price of money in England, and reduced the interest ou the balances of the Irish banks kept in London, and it became a matter of consideration whether, in keeping smaller balances in London, the Irish bankers might not afford greater accommodation to the people of Ireland, which, he believed, might now be fairly and safely done, especially to the new proprietary raised under the Encumbered Estates Act. In reply to a question Mr. Gilbert stated that he had no alarm from the gold • discoveries of California and Australia reducing too much the value of money, but he believed it would be a very happy thing for the country. Mr. Heywood, M.P., next read a paper on the in come of the University and some of the colleges of Oxford, compiled from the report of the Oxford Uni versity Commissioners, from which it appeared, as far as could be ascertained of nine colleges, that the average income of the heads of houses was 1,1001. a year ; and, as regarded fellows, taking in the canons of Christ Church, the average was 2341. a year. The total income of the Oxford University was 22,0001., and of the colleges, 152,0001. The income of Cam bridge University was about 133,000/. ; and of Trinity College, Dublin, about 50,0001., making the total about 355,0001. There were 557 fellowships in Oxford, of which about thirty-five were vacant every year. The revenue arising from the University press, by the printing of Bibles and prayer-books, was stated to be about 8,000/. a year, though the amount was not regularly paid over, but only when it increased to sums of 40,0001. or 60,0001. Professor Hancock next read a notice of " The progress of the Sewed Muslin Manufacture in Ire land," communicated by Mr. Holden. It stated that the trade was introduced into Ireland between 1800 and 1810, but little progress was made with it until between 1820 and 1830. The introduction of ma chinery for the spinning of linen yarn left the female population of Ulster almost without employment, but the introduction of embroidery amoagat them soon more than compensated them for their loss. The introduction of lithographic printing between 1830 and 1835, instead of the old block system, was one of the most important elements in firmly establishing the trade. The old blocks cost from 3s. 6(1. for sim ple patterns, to 61. or 71. for the more intricate, be sides the time (two or three weeks) formerly occu pied in the preparation of the patterns and cutting them upon the blocks, whilst they could now be produced in a few hours at about the same amount of shillings as it formerly cost pounds. For a long time there was a prejudice against Irish goods, which prevented their selling out of Ireland, especially in the London markets, and therefore the grey muslin was sent to Glasgow when bleached and completed, after which it was sold as Glasgow manufacture. Upon that fact becoming generally known the preju dice began to wear away. .The goods were completed in Ireland, and the London and foreign buyers now visited Belfast to make purchases as often as dn. they e visited Glasgow, and the market was rapidly w ing. So extensively indeed had the business increased in the last fifteen years that there were now employed in Ulster and other parts of Ireland nearly a quarter o f a million of individuals. The wages of the young yersons, when they first commenced, were only from ficl. to is. per week : the more experienced obtained 4s. to 65., and there was now paid between 500,000/. an d 600,000/. per annum for the manufacture, exclu sive of some of the cost of the materials ; and more over, the employment was afforded in the best manner, being given to the young females at their own homes, under the supervision of their parents. A great deal of good had also been effected by the establishment of training schools for teaching embroidery, and the landed proprietors had been very t forward in estabiishi ng th ose i nst i tut i ons .

After acting for eleven months as lieutenant of the Ocean, 98, bearing the flag of Lord Collingwood, and of the Cambrian, 40, Captain Francis William Fane, he was at length confirmed to ' the latter ship, by commission dated Jan. 2, 1810. In the following September he co-operated in the reduction of a French battery at Bagur, on the coast of Catalonia; and he afterwards obtained the thanks of the patriot General O'Donnell for his conduct at the storming of a fort near Palamos, on which occasion the boat of which ho had command was struck by a shot, and sunk almost before the wounded and the powder could be removed. On the 13th of the following December Mr. Baynton took charge of the Cam briau's boats in an attack made, in conjunction with those of the Kent and Ajax, 74's, and Sparrowhawk and Minstrel sloops, on an enemy's convoy in the mole of Palamos; and during the disastrous retreat of the Bri tish from that place, when the boat in which he was serving grounded under a murderous fire from the shore, sustained, without any means of resistance, a loss of 30 men killed and wounded, and was only eventually got under way by the three s urv ivors swimming and towing her off, he received a musket-ball in his thigh, which, we believe, has never been extracted. For his service on the coast of Catalonia, where be was further present at the defence of Tarragona, Mr. Baynton again obtained the open thanks of General O'Donnell, also a gold medal struck for the affairs at Bagur and Palamos, and a sword valued at 50/.

M.D., 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, D ictor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful onsequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which ave produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man ood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any ther class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the mast celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means oftimmediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The pofessional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these cases.

WOOLWICH, SEPT. 7.—ROYAL ARTILLERY.—Cap tain Price's company, Ist battalion, marched this morn ing from the garrison here, at seven o'clock, for Shorn cliffo, headed by the brass band of the Royal Horse Artillery. Previous to leaving, the company received a new field battery of 9-pounders, brought up from the grand depot, complete with all its ammunition, shot, shells, and cannistors, and they will reach Shorncliffe on Saturday, the II th inst., as the marching to that sta tion will occupy five days. Captain Dalton's company, Ist battalion, will leave Woolwich on the 16th inst. for Sheerness, to relieve Captain Papillon's company, 11th battalion, ordered to head quarters. Captain Beresford's company is under orders to leave Woolwich on the 23d inst. for Devonport, to relieve Captain Aylmer's com pany, 11th battalion, at that station. THE NEW BATTERSEA PARK BRIDGE. The piers, foundations, and fastenings of the suspension bridge are now nearly completed. On each side of the Thames strong brick walls, supported by piles and con crete, have been laid down at the edge of high water mark, and some 50 or 60 feet further inwards piles have been driven. faced by strong elm planks of two or three inches thick in front, and supported by beds of concrete several feet in width, depth, and height, for the purpose of fastening the chains which aro to support the bridge. Those chains pass over, and are to be fixed to, the piers erected at the river's edge, and will then be supported by still higher and more solid piers constructed a few feet further in the channel of the river than low water mark. To enable the contractors to raise these latter piers, coffer dams of great extent have been erected, which have been protected and supported on each side by strong piles. Within the coffer dams a bottom of concrete several feet below the surface of the channel of the river, has been laid down, and upon it a strong building of brick, stone, and cement has been raised and nearly completed to the intended height. On each side of the works are placed several barges and pile-driving machines to break the force of the current, and prevent craft of all descriptions passing up and down the river from endangering the works or becoming foul by coming in contact with them. On either side huge masses of sand, stone, and other ma terials for making a strong rind lasting connexion for the bridge and the roadway approaches, have been accumu lated and are being adapted for that purpose, so as t o have, coincident with the finishing of the bridge, the ap proaches from Clapham, Brixton, and Wandsworth ready on the one side, and those from Kensington, Chelsea, and Pimlico on the other side. The chains will weigh several thousand tons. SEABORNE MAILS.

I . that a good or a bad look out? It is the prospect now before the farmers. Yet we venture to ask, where are the lamentations? where the piteous cries for help? where the appeals for something to be done? where the sullen resolves to quit the country if some thing were not done that we have had for the last seven years, particularly at this season. The farmers' friends are in power, and so little pressure is applied to them that they intend to wait near three months, that is to the end of November, before they produce their grand spe cific; and the farmers themselves are the chief apologists of this delay. What unwonted patience! What newly acquired resignation! Was it for this the 300 gentlemen making the country party seceded so long from office. flared up into agitators, and subsided into misanthropes? Was it merely that at the end of seven years they might learn to sit like patience on a mrinument, and smile at 40s. a-quitter? That, ia fact, is what they are now c , ..ano to.

The whole population are adrift. Every petty station, every little market town, sees the emigrant on his way to Australia. Adding this new drain to that grill undiinini-led from Ireland, we shall probably find that not less then half a million of our people have left our shores in the year 1852. Solvuntur risu tabula, we may now say of those Settlement questions, that for a century have disturbed the peace and drained the funds of every parish in th is kingdom. Nothing has hitherto stood in the Wa Y of agriculture so much as the necessity of . s ub or employ ing a vast quantity of unskilled and even l o n t been dinate labour. Though the necessity bas il still in so stringent of lat e years, yet most farmers are a ny new this ease, that if they employ machinery, labourers mode of cultivation, or if they invite under a sort of from a distance, they find themse l ves under hands. compulsion to go on using their old di s appearing, and All cempulsion of this sort 1 . ! jestacle to the use of reap there will no longer be any or expedients fore conomiz ing machines and all the other better paid and better ins labour.

Again, should wheat obsti nately stand at its present price, barley and oats will prove more remunerative ; and even stall-f ee di ng, which the other day was pronounced a ruinous occupation, is now found once more to pay. Notwithstanding all this emigration, our towns, our factories, our ports, our docks and harbours, seem to thrive as much as ever; and it is in these seats of skilled industry that the far mer's best customers aro found, rather than among his own ill-paid labourers.
