The celebrated Ge.lieritrY Duhesme, in his essay, Sur l'lnfanterie Legere, publiftd?! in 1814, asserted and proved that one filth of the loss \ the Freuch army during the wars of the Empire waL caused by the fire of their own third ranks. Still this is the present system. Again, the cartonch-box of the French army is neither so large nor so heavy as ours, and is fixed to the waist-belt, and in action is moved to the front. To diminish its weight, part of the ammuni tion is carried in neat boxes at the lower corners of the knapsacks; but, strange to say, while thus diminishing the weight in one way, and having less ammunition ready at hand, their flank companies and non-commis sioned officers are terribly encumbered with having attached to their waist-belts, in addition to the cartouch box and bayonet, a heavy useless " military-looking" ROman poignard, about 41b. weight. Still the French soldier, with his loose and easy dress, shoes, and leather gaiters, is much better adapted for the field than our men, smothered with their buff belts and tight uniform, and their quarter-boots, " looking well," but which hart the feet after being once wet. And it may bo a question if some improvement as to dress and equip ment may not be tried upon the militia. As they are about to be called out it becomes a serious question in what manner they should be armed, if they are intended to be used as soldiers. I have had much experience in organizing recruits and in attempting to make them fit for the field in the shortest possible time, and they were men even of a better class than what can be expected from the pro pefo d itsy sbodily is , pre po exercise, steroti s t s o i l will b e imaginecapab l e that e ble nation at a distance of 300 y ards. However, if, durin g that period, they were drilled t o loadin g and firin g with a firearm which could be as efficacious at from 400 up to and d 0 yetailrldas,vtehid being eymi os such e h d e m e n,wmilitia;iag with face in the field to regular troops of any ith 21 and In every description of the war in S p ain the enem y stated to be f ea r e d by the French were the M i q uelet s and armed pe asa ntry, and French officers were always certain of vi ctor y aga i ns t a ny force of militia or half formed troop s , if t h ey on ly could ght th th ro en wn do into any execution great re at at aconfusion. d i s t ance, matter the numb ers . Th e D u k e of Wgeetllninegatronth, them, the disturbances i n S cot l an d i n 1319, acted upon this o very principle, issuing orders for the troops to attack the Glasgow rioters in the field, whatever their numbers m ight be. The Duke an d F renc h o ffi cers knew that if half-drilled men attempt to a c t as p ro fessional soldiers, no matter what may be thei r un if orm , t h e y ar e so loosely p u t together, and have so lit t l e con fid ence i n their offi cers, that the first round shot whi c h pl unges into them, or volley fired, and then a " Hurrah!" will split them intopieces and produce an irrecover a bl e pan i c. S ee the Duke of Wellington's opinion of the value of militia in his letters to the Duke of York in December, 1812, and to Colonel Banbury in Februar y , 1813 . In another place the Duke says, " Until a soldier has served two campaigns he is of comparatively little use;" and in his letter of the 9th of March, 1813, he values an old soldier as equal to five new ones—a proportion nearly the same as the soldier with the new arm to five with the old musket. But if the militia were drilled solely to firing a t a distance with precision, they might be useful, as no that, if all horses on his landin g artillery. Napoleon, in his threatened invasion, was and so aware of this, that he made little or no arrange mentinvaders can tic eve oarnse r sa la las n os d sr a oeno fo nd r e c ar e s of cavalry cr horses for the for embarking horses, but each boat was pro movniudsekßdertiw.triisitflhhe saddlery and artillery harness, to be put interior, this simple manoeuvre would have rendered mistaken as to cavalry and a s the cavalry and artillery useles s.

LAUNCH OF THE SCREW THREE-DECKER, WINDSOR CASTLE.—Such is the progress made in building this ship at Pembroke that she will be afloat almost imme diately. The largest and most powerful man-of-war in the world is positively to be launched at Pembroke on the 14th of September next, and will then be navigated to Portsmouth to have her 700 horse-power engines fitted, and in other respects to be completed for com missioning. ' it Hogue, 60, screw-ship, Captain M'Dougall, will 13 edi paid off at Devonport, and will be recommissioned one Ist of September by Captain Ramsey, as the stea guard-ship of Devonport. PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.—A r e regret to report that the Vestal, 26, Captain Hemilton, that sailed last evening for Halifax, got on shore at Hamtstead Ledge (a point turning out from the Lie of Wight between Cowes and Yarmouth) last night, at eleven o'clock. The Vestal bad light baffling winds, with a strong westerly tide, and was drifting rather than sailing, and the night very hazy. She tried to stay off shore, but would not come round. She was prepared for anchoring, but before she could do so the tide, which sets round the ledge, swiftly took tier on shore. Every possible exer tion was made to get her afloat, but the tide ebbing she remained hard and fast. At two A ar. one of her boats Rear-Admiral Prescott, the Master Attendant (Mr. Underwood). and a party of riggers, went down in the was dispatched to Portsmouth, and arrived at six, when Fire Queen dispatch-steamer, and the Echo tug. Two dockyard lighters were also sent down to her assistance. The Vestal, as the tide fell, sewed a good deal, and heeled over; topmasts were got over to shore her up. Fortunately the tides were rising, and at high water this morning she swung off the ground without assistance from the steamers and lighters from the dockyard. The was just nearing her. The Echo tug afterwards and she again anchored at Spithead at Fire Queen, with the Admiral and Master Attendant on o'clock. She cow, will come into harbour tomorrow, the North Dpck, from whence the Hecla steamer move out to make room for her. As there was no oteoer s t night, and the water quite smooth, the ship cannot have received much damage.

BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY. No British or Co'onial Brandy can compare with this pure and wholesome spirit, introduced by us to the public a generation ago. Supported as to its purity at its outset by the testimonials of such men as the late Dr. Turner, the late Mr. Hume, and of living celebrities, professed chemists, who analysed the spirit, it ever has been unrivalled for its WHOLESOMENESS ; the patronage it has continuously enjoyed vouches the universal appreciation of its FLAVOUR, which is identical with that of choice Champagne Brandy. It is sold throughout the Kingdom, by respectable dealers, in glass bottles, protected by the Patent Metallic Capsules, at 3s. a bottle ; in dozens, bottles and cases included, at 18s. per gallon ; and in stone jars of two gallons and upwards, at 16s. per gallon, pale or coloured.

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 detrlct 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 hook, 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 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 01 every one interested in the matter."—Dublin Medical Press, Apri 23,1852.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the .fearful consequences resulting ft•om irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most 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 of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional 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.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. WORSHIP- S TR EB T. Elizabeth 'Mullen, a young woman of a b ou t 17 or 18 years of age, was charged with the felonious abduc tion of one of the children of her master, and also with robbing him of two half-sovereigns. Mr. Richard Thompson, a master baker in Prospect place, Bethnal green, stated, that the prisoner had been in his service for about six months as maid of all work, and, until the circumstances occurred which gave rise to her present prosecution, bad always conducted herself in the most honest and satisfactory manner. On the morn ing of Monday last, however, she was sent out by her mistress with one of the children, a little boy about two years and a half old, for the purpose of giving it an airing; and shortly after she had left, her mistress having occasion to go up to a drawer in her bedroom, where she was in the habit of frequently keeping loose cash, she was surprised to find that the drawer had been forced open and two half-sovereigns stolen out of it. Several hours elapsed without the pri soner returning home with the child, and this, coupled with the loss of the money, excited such strong suspicions in the minds of both himself and wife that the remainder of that day was occupied by them, in a state of frantic anxiety, in searching for their missing child in every place they could think of, and messengers were dispatched in every probable direction upon the same errand, but no tidings whatever could be obtained of it until the preceding afternoon, when they were at length rejoiced by the little boy being brought home by a person who had shortly before discovered him sitting by himself upon the doorstep of a house in the Hackney-road, in a most deplorable condition, and crying bitterly. A few hours after the recovery of the child the prisoner herself made her appearance, accom panied by her father, and upon the witness calling her to account for her infamous conduct she coolly told him that she neither knew anything of the stolen money nor where she had been, and altogether displayed such effrontery that he became greatly exasperated, and a constable having been procured, he gave her into cus tody upon both charges. Edward taltiullen, the prisoner's father, a journey man weaver living in Green-street, Spitalfields, stated, that on the preceding evening the prisoner unexpectedly presented herself at his house, and in answer to his in quiries as to whet her she had left her situation, returned such evasive and c ontradictory replies that he felt satis fied she fhe ther scandalous be g n with engu him of some miscondu c t, an d com • pelted m to her master's residence, upon her had to men t t al a t he ha d been beha viour, and which re sulted in her own a pp r ehension. The witness added , h e r t h e e a y c h n h g a had hbiecehnbe enduri n g was apprised athsgrievedo u th r ough h o to say h been subjected for a long time past to constant dis tress and disgrace in consequence of the prisoner's vi cious and abandoned habits, and, although he had placed her in numerous respectable and comfortable situations, she had invariably lost them in a short time after through her incorrigible thieving propensities and general mis conduct. On the last of these occasions, which was about a twelvemonth ago, he again received her into his house, and used every means in his power toleffect her reformation, but she had been only a few weeks with him when she absconded in the middle of the night, a n d , atter leading a degrading life about the streets, he at length traced her to a distant workhouse, in which she had been subsequently provided with a situation. The prisoner, who had listened to her father's state ment with an air of callous indifference, here exclaimed that she would not have left her home if she had been properly treated, and accused her mother-in-law of having subjected her to repeated acts of ill-usage. This, however, was indignantly denied by her father, and as, upon being asked if she wished to say anything in answer to the charge, she shook her head and maintained an obstinate silence, . _ Mr. INGHAM ordered her to be brought up again for the completion of the depositions. and at the name time intimated his intention to oommit her for trial.

Sir,—My attention has been lately called to an ar ticle in the Quarterly Review for March, 1852, on " The Cannon, the Musket, and Rifle " in which it is admitted that the musket-rifle (improp er ly ca ll e d " Mi n is"), being co nstructed on more scientific) principles, " fairly beats poor Brown Bess out of the fi e ld ;" an d t h e rev iewer states that, " were our soldiers uni versa lly mec h a nicians or gamekeepers, he would advocate th e i r i mme diate ar mament with either the needle•gun o r mus k e t- r ifle as , strenuously as the Times, but that our soldiers, in nine cases out of ten, are either country bumpkins or unem ployed weavers." This remark induced me to make in quiries as to the composition of the Chasseurs de Vin cennes (Chasseurs a Pied), whose superior armament you first brought before the British public by the inser tion of my letter in your paper on the 3d of January, 1852, and I find that when the conscription takes place the officers employed choose from the body of drawn conscripts, first, the men adapted for the cuirassiers, dragoons, engineers, and artillery; next, a certain num ber of the most active- made men are chosen for the Chasseurs de Vincennes, but with no reference whatever ethenetrevdiewer against to their former trades or occupations; and the remain ing conscripts are put aside for the infantry of the line.

In the last dispatch of General wad i ; hen, detailing his late razzia in Algeria, his rear-guard only consisted of two companies armed with the im proved musket-rifles. They were attacked by a body of Arab cavalry, who boldly approached to within 100 yards, when they were received by a volley, which sent them to the right-about. The cavalry rallied, and again showed face at a distance of 800 yards, supposing them selves in safety, but another volley was poured into them, producing at that distance nearly the same effects as the first volley, and they gallopped off in dismay. That the British public may be able to judge whether the additional expense caused by serving out this new firearm be worth the money spent, allow me to give the results of experiences lately made in France by four regiments (not picked) of the comparative value of the old and new muskets, bearing in mind that the British and French common musket are nearly equal in their range and the correctness of their fire. General Sir Charles Napier, in his letter " On the Defence of Eng land," calculates the expense of the old musket at about 11., and the new or Mini 6 rifle at about 151. 15s. In France the common musket costs 1/. 65., and the im proved or Mini 4 rifle N. 35.: and the contract price for new or MiniS rifles served out to the British army is under 41. There were nearly 300,000 balls fired by these four regiments out of the improved muskets with the Culot or Minis balls, the Tamisier or solid elongated balls, and the musket or spherical balls out of the regu lation musket, all the different balls being fired by the same men from the new and old muskets. From 30 to 100 yards, superiority rather in favour of improved musket-rifle with Minis ball. .. .. ~. 150 yards—The i m p rove d mus ket-rifle with mune ball twice as good as old musket end spherical ball. 20Q yards—Ditto, thrice aigood. alyards—Ditto, seven tiffika better than. 400 rds—Ditto, ele ven times better than.l4.i 500 y —Tm proved musket- rifle with Minis yel ky ball hit n as olten as at 150 yards, but no old mus kets hit. 600 yards—Ditto, hit nearly the third of what hit at 150 yards' distance. 700 yards—Ditto, hit nearly the same as at 600 yards' distance. 800 yards—Ditto, hit nearly one-fifth, as at 150 yards' distance. It was tound if 150 men of any of these four regi ments were armed with the improved musket-rifle and blinie ball, shut at distances of from 300 to 600 yards they would in one minute do more execution than 525 men at similar distances and the same time with old muskets and ammunition; consequently 1,500 men can be made equal to 5,250 men, or 15,000 British soldiers can now be drilled and armed to do as much execution as could have been done by 50,000 of the Peninsular ve terans, _ _ _ 4..inoultishire, collector of I l linm ' dividend of la. 4d. in the pound, uty Court, Gainaborough. payableJosephtaxes, at first S t t h o r e r, and n °d o : NOTICE OF CERTIFICATE.

This highly -respectable aquatic annual, in honour of his Royal Highness Prince Albert's birth-day, was contested on Thursday by eighteen free watermen of the place, for a purse of sovereigns, subscribed by the nobility and gentry of the neighbourhood. The weather was very delightful, and the as semblage of spectators extremely numerous and re spectable, accommodation being afforded the elite of the place on board the beautiful state barge of Styles's, for merly belonging to the Goldsmiths' Company, where a very excellent band of music was in attendance, which added materially to the pleasure of the afternoon. The race was in four heats, the first man of each of the three first to contend in the grand one. First Heat. John Mackinney and Henry Kidner (White) 1 George Jackson and William New (Blue) 0 John Jackson and John Chilly (Red) 0 It was a double scullers race, the distance extending from Richmond-bridge down to Lord Kilinorey's, up to the Duke of Baneleuch's, and finish at the bridge. After a few strokes the winners went in front and kept it. in this by --- When you published my letter o n the 3d of Ja nuar y , 1852, I stated therein that this new fir e ar m and ammu nition wo u ld ma k e a c omplete change in the syst em of actual warfare, and I am daily m ore and more fortified the experience of the oldest and most expe rienced officers of the French arm y who have witnessed the experi men t s at Vi nc ennes, Toulouse , and G renoble. Their opinion is, that heavy cavalry can now no longer be used with effect, and that artillery must be restricted to siege operations and defence of fortified places. A distinguished officer, upon whose word and honour the most implicit confidence can be placed, assured me, that he lately saw Captain Minis (the inventor of the Culot ball) (bat primitif ) hit a butt (target) seven times out of ten shots at a distance of 1,804 yards. The target was about 100 feet in length, and about eighteen feet in height. A company of infantry 100 strong shows a front of about 100 feet. A troop of cavalry, I i m agine, shows about the same front. I suppose the heads of our Life Guards, when mounted, are about 10 feet from the round. seven balls corr ec t, arly the of Captain chances a t n h e i this scalculation fouras to ou tcoafvalt the ev Minis would have taken effect eve n through the cuirasses. In making this experiment Captain Mini 4 did not place the firelock to his shoulder, but held it have seen a pair of double-barrelled pistols with which the above distinguished officer has hit a small target tight against the upper part of his right haunch bon fu e t . ur l oe eight times out of ten shots at a distance of 180 yards, , and sabre, but the range is much greater. The late impartial m e a x d - e ex periments by these four regiments proved the decided superiority of the improved musket-rifle over the old tla us s e h d ow by ho t w he musket; but it may perhaps be interesting much more e ffi cacious the old musket may be made by being loaded in a peculiar manner. In my first letter I referred to the "nail ball" invented by Lieut. Nosier, which, when fired out of the common musket, was said to be very efficacious at very long distances, but said I had never seen this ball fired. The nail ball was used at one of the emeutes at Paris, but there is n r h m ot ab 6 . B-p A ou n n a d i e l r b s f ho a t bo l u at t e t ly doubt but that it will come into use in a s n e d so t s o tri t wars.
