Il lustrated by 50 coloured Engravings, on the Anatomy of the Repro ductive Organs and their relative conditions in Health and Disease. By SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D. 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor 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 consequences resulting from 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.

ON TRITE & FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA, with the View to the Correction of wide-spread • Errors in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the Generative System, or Sexual Hypochondrlasis. 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 o nt be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his •qiwer to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851. "We promised in a former number that we should recur to this work, in order to exhibit its aim more clearly. The author lashes with great severity the impostors who make a livelihood by preying on the credulity of the public. The tribe of ' Quiet Symathisers,' and ' Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book could find its way into the hands of those who suffer from the com plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize— much money .. ....This volume is well qualified to put an end to the empirical system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to place the treat ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore, likely to do much good."—Medical Circular, June 16, 1862. No. It.

Tn proof of his views he (Mr. Ceurtenay) has given the history of a great many cases successfully treated, as bad as any which Mr. Syme adduced, and on which he had operated. Such are cases ix., xi., xii., and xviii. No. ix. had resisted, for a period of twelve yesra, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally removed in as many weeks. But cases xviii. and xix. appear, both in duration, severity, and complication of symptoms, of a more ag gravated character than any detailed by Mr. Syme, and yet the treatment adopted by Mr. Courtenay proved eminently saccessfttl." —Professor Lizars on the Treatment or Stricture.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack at 5 o'clock. Earl GRANVILLE rose to move that in the event of a division taking place in any select committee, the question proposed, the name of the lord proposing the question, and the respective votes thereupon of each lord present, be entered on the Minutes of Evidence, or on the Minutes of the Proceedings of the Committee, as the case may be, and reported to the house as the report of such committee. The noble earl proceeded to say that he should be perfectly willing to postpone his mo tion, if there were any chance of a debate arising upon the free-trade resolutions which stood next on the paper. The Earl of RADNOR said that so far as he was con cerned he certainly did not mean to agree to the com promise which, it appeared, had been entered into the other night. Not being present on that occasion, he did not feel himself bound by it ; and he had come up to town for the express purpose of moving an amendment to the resolution which stood on the paper, and which, in his opinion, did not go far enough. The motion was then postponed until to-morrow. FREE TRADE POLICY. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE rose pursuant to notice to move to resolve that this house thank- fully acknowledging the general prosperity, and deeply sensible of the evils attending frequent changes in the financial policy of the coup t, adheres * to the commercial system recently es is s&,lnd would view with regret any renewed attempt to disturb its operation, or to impede its further progress. The noble marquis said that the course which he had taken was that which he had thought most likely to se cure unanimity ; but it appeared that, having done all he could in the way of concession, he had ended, as was usually the case, by getting more or less the opposition of both sides. Having placed himself, however, in this position, he must excuse himself as well as he could. He quite agreed that it was but fair to give a moderate mea sure of support to her Majesty's Ministers, in order to enable them to carry on the government ; but when they heard, as he had heard with some amusement, the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the other house declaring that the Protectionist party had not wished, or at least had not endeavoured, to return to a Protectionist policy, he thought their confidence must be a little shaken. For that reason he wished that a vote of this house should also sanction free trade policy. They had heard a great deal of an appeal to the sense of the country, but he did not agree that the sense of the country was taken by a simple vote of the other house without bringing the question before this house. There was another , reason why the question should be brought before this house, and that was that they had the First Minister of the Crown in this house. He had wished to have a concurrent vote of both houses, and that this house should have adopted the resolution which had been carried in the other house, and for the life of him he could not under stand why the noble earl opposite and his friends would not consent to that course ; either they were not sincere in their agreement with their colleagues in the other house, or they felt themselves weak and unable to carry their own propositions there. He did not wish to attribute to noble lords opposite any insincerity in their adoption of free-trade policy, and he would take that opportunity of saying that he saw no trace of protection in the Budget, which had just been laid before the other house. (Hear.) Free trade could not, in all cases, secure prosperity or avert adversity, but would mitigate adversity ; and, as circumstances had proved, could decidedly promote prosperity. Why, the repeal of the corn law was passed in 1846, notoriously to meet a visi tation of Providence—a visitation against which the old system could not hold up its head a moment. In 1848 no one doubted the expediency of the orders in council, or the necessity entirely sweeping away those laws. It was true, as had been said in the Commons on the first night of the session, that since the calamities of 1846 there had been a gradual and steady increase of pro sperity, giving a sound and convincing proof that the system, which had been found the only one for a season of adversity, was also the best one for seasons of pros perity—namely, a system of free trade and unrestricted competition. (Hear, hear.) He had no fear that that system would ever be departed from, and it was a great comfort to him, that in its favour he gave his free vote in that house, and had ever since given it a constant and unhesitating support. (Hear, hear.) He supported Lord Spencer's motion of 1841, for a moderate fixed duty, and regretted much that that motion had no.t. ; tieew acceded to, as, although feeling convinced that it would lead to complete repeal, he had always thought it much better to let that repeal come in a continuous and gra dual manner. He had no doubt, under any circum stances, of the success of unrestricted competition. He would have preferred his original motion, but should be glad if, by adopting the modified form now on the table, he could secure an unanimous vote, to the effect that our commercial system must be adhered to, and thus put the principle beyond the reach of Parliamentary controversy. (Hear, hear.) The noble marquis concluded by moving— " That the house, is thankfully acknowledging the gene ral prosperity, and deeply sensible of the evils attending frequent changes in the financial policy of the country, adheres to the commercial system recently established ; and would view with regret any renewed attempt to dis turb its operation or impede its further progress. The Earl of ABERDEEN said—My lords, although most anxious that a general unanimity should prevail with reference to the subject now under discussion, still I feel myself constrained to make a few observations on the subject. It may, or it may not, be proper for this house to come to some resolution or vote affirming the policy of free trade, and the system of commercial legis lation which has recently been established, but, for my own part, I should have been well pleased to have left the matter precisely as it now stands, and should not myself have advanced or proposed any vote of this de scription, and for these reasons— I think, in the first place, that this house has pronounced a very decided opinion on this subject, as the whole course of our legis lation since 1846 has been in accordance to the principle laid down in that year. (Hear, hear.) We have done nothing since then to indicate the slightest tendency to wards re-action, and even my noble friend, the noble earl at the head of the government, notwithstanding his speeches, has abstained from making any motion which had that tendency, while the house has certainly not adopted any motion which could give any indication of re-actionary tendencies. (Ministerial cheers.) That being the case, we are the same body in the house that we were at that time ; we are not like the House of Commons, a chang ing body, in whose case an appeal to the people was re quired to confirm and establish the opinion of the house on the subject. On the contrary, our opinion may be taken now, according to all experience and precedent, to be precisely the same as pronounced in 1846. There fore, for these reasons, I should see n o necessity thabt.th is house should come to any fresh decision on the w su k ject (Ministerial cheers.) For anot her reason, It m ny vote on this subject unnecessa r y . No vote to which your lordships can come will b e p ractically of the slight est importance. I believe the question of the corn laws to be settled irrevocably, and that however favourable your vote, it will only be settling what has been firmly settled. (Cheers.) If your lorships should unfortun ately vote adversely, I should regret it for your lord ships' characters' sake, as it would only exhibit to the world the impotence of this house when opposed to the voice of reason and the strongly declared opinion of the country. (Loud Opposition cheers.) I say L I this of the question itself. I think that when we look at what has recently taken place, the result of the late elections, and the unequivocal demonstrations of public opinion—when we look at the recent vote of the House of Commons, and have heard the declaration of her Majesty's Ministers themselves—l take it for granted not only that the question is settled, but that the time is come when I, as one of the oldest and most intimate friends of the late Sir Robert Peel in this house, may feel myself fully justified in congratulating the friends of that great minister, in congratulating the house, and in congratulating the country, on the final and complete success of that system for which he suffered so much, and for which he made such great and distressing sacri fices. (Loud cheers.) I think we may rest convinced that the contest of the last six years is now finally clos u ed, and that the name of Sir Robert Peel, which wasp er: re with such persevering and relentless hostility, n el y as b that ceived with blessings, and his memory . e_ of the benefactor of his country. dCsolobitpipnrue:eidtruchtoeeraiinlagr.e) Perhaps I cannot expect noble lords t k h n e o w that altogether in this feeling of triumph, ut o o f i it has long received the s. coun try, and is deeply impressleodrdsqno:nl the have hearts said I d o o f the not people. (Hear, hear.) My see the necessity for coming to this I o any must e r e fss resoluat tion on the subject of free trade, butth I never did expect to hear of the Governm . ent suggesting, or the house assenting, to s uch a resoluti on as the noble marquis has placed on the t a ble. (Hear, hear.) When th e noble marquis announced his intention of proposing s dt (Hear it thatot a r esolution on the su b j ect, I took it for granted that he wa s going to propose a duplicate of that which had al ready passed the Co mmons b y so large a ma j orit y . hear.) The nob le mar q uis, indeed, stated atli;e suc h was his intenti on, but subsequently changed what we have to consider to-night. It is most difficult for me to comprehend why the original resolution should be objected to by the noble earl at the head of the Go vernment. (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") The noble earl, when the noble marquis first introduced the sub ject, said that the resolution of the Commons did not emanate from the Government, but was accepted as a compromise coming from some other quarter. But where is the difference ? If you accept a compromise, surely you are as much bound by it, that is if you ac cepted it in good faith—(hear, hear)—as if the pro posal emanated solely from yourself. (Cheers.) I there fore cannot understand what difference there is between a proposition originating with the Government, or one which was accepted by the Government with gratitude, and was looked upon as a species of triumph. (Loud 7 Opposition cheers.) But when the noble earl objecte to the Commons resolution on that ground, even grant ing that ground to be tenable, the noble marquis set himself right, for he actually substituted and placed upon the table a resolution which had been placed on the table of the House of Commons by a distinguished member of the Government. (Hear, hear.) I confess that even that resolution is not to my taste, nor should I have approved of it if it had been brought fo :ward by the noble marquis, but at all events it affirmed free trade. (Hear, hear.) But that also the noble earl did not approve of, and he laid on the table or suggested the resolution we now have before us. Now lam bound to believe that the noble marquis, in moving this reso lution, thinks and is convinced that he is acting favourably towards the interests he has so long supported, but I must say that if I did not feel this question to be re moved far beyond our control, I should be of an entirely different opinion. (Hear.) I should say that this reso lution was a greater step towards reaction than anything that has been done since 1846. (Hear.) This resolution asserts, " That this house, thankfully acknowledging the general prosperity, and deeply sensible of the evils attending frequent changes in the financial policy of the country, adheres to the commercial system recently established, and would view with regret any renewed attempt to disturb its operation or impede its further progress." Now, let your lordships observe the terms of the resolution. First, it acknowledges the general prosperity, but does not attribute it to any cause under Providence. I am the last man to deny that all the good we possess is due to the bounty of an overruling Providence, but in this case I must say that Providence has blessed a human agency, and that we have a right to attribute the prosperity in a great measure to the commercial system which has recently been established in this country. (Cheers.) Then you go on to say that you adhere to this policy, and would regret to see it ' impeded. Why ? Because you think it would be in convenient. No doubt there is great inconvenience in frequent changes of financial policy, but Such incon venience might attend changes from bad to good as well as from good to bad. The Earl of DERBY (much excited)—There is not one word about inconvenience in the resolution. The noble earl should take care, when commenting on a re solution, that he quotes the exact words. (Cheers on the Ministerial side,. and murmurs on the Opposition.) The Earl of ABERDEEN—It is my misfortune that I am not able to read the words distinctly, but the two readings amount to precisely the same thing. You are deeply sensible of the " evils," but the evils of change exist as much gull change from bad as from good, and I say further that looking at this resolution, the logical inference from it is, that you would change the system if you could. (Opposition cheers.) I say that so far for the interpretation of the resolution. If it be only the evils attending change that restrain you, then I say you would chan g e it were it not for these evils. (Hear, hear.) That Ithink is not sufficient ground for ad hering to a system you profess to adopt. No, my lords, if you adhere to that system it is because it is " wise, just, and beneficial." (Loud cheers.) That is what I should like to vote, although I • should not refuse the resolution which has been ac ceded to by the other house, and which I think was studiously worded to meet the feelings of the party who act with the noble earl, and to avoid doing those feelings any violence. Now, although I should like to vote that the system was wise, just, and beneficial, I do not call on noble lords opposite to vote anything objec tionable to their feelings • but I refuse being party to a resolution so immeasurably below my own convictions on the subject. (Hear, hear.) Ido not wish to enter largely into this question, but I could not help express ing the very strong feelings I entertain as to the total inadequacy of the resolution proposed by the noble earl. (Cheers.) Lord BEAUMONT intimated that he had an amend ment to propose, because dissatisfied as to the sufficiency of that proposed by the noble earl. They wanted a pledge that the policy which had worked so much good would not be disturbed, and the best process for obtain ing that was, in his opinion, to adopt the resolution which had already been adopted by the House of Com mons. Certainly, in adopting that resolution, the last man from whom he should have expected a difficulty was her Majesty's First Minister. But in that quarter the difficulty had arisen, and had only been met by the extraordinary complacency of the noble marquis. (Hear, hear.) The noble marquis had altered his resolution in such a way to please the noble earl, that,if accepted by their lordships, it might be taken as a slur upon the vote which had been passed by so large a majority in another place. Having such an opinion, he felt justified in producing, as an amend ment, the resolution in its original shape. The noble earl said, " Well, as you have abondoned your original intention, and adopted my words, do me a little favour —propose them yourself." That scene passed rapidly before his eyes, and within a few minutes not only was • the first resolution abandoned, and a substitute accepted, but he found that his noble friend was to be the chief actor. (Laughter.) Without meaning offence to any party, he must say that he did not think that was a very dignified scene. He was so taken by surprise that he really could not rise to speak. (Laughter.) He had, however reflected on the matter since, and was now convinced of the necessity of doing something ; and he thought the simplest and the INaLcourtie wa r s - irtota.ke the resitikatidYi of the citherhinlie. -He -wonlet t 41 "*" 101 explain briefly to the house the grounds on which he based his amendment. (Hear, hear.) The noble earl acceded to power some months ago, not in consequence of any immediate act of his own, but in consequence of a proceeding in which lie took no part. Being thus en trusted with the Government, he was perfectly free to take whatever course he pleased with regard to the ques tion of protection or free trade. But he neither said that he was prepared to carry out protection or to abandon it. Instead of doing as all other governments had done under similar circumstances—laying down certain mea sures and then appealing to the country to decide upon them—he declined to make any proposals, withheld hi* opinion, and then went to the country to learn what he was to do. That was, in his opinion, an unconstitu tional and dangerous precedent. In adopting it, however, the noble earl did give certain pledges. He said he would appeal to the country, and would abide by its decision ; and he (Lord Beaumont) must say that up to that moment the pledges given had been ful filled. He, for one, could not blame the noble earl for not having put any strong language into the mouth of his Sovereign, for he held that that would have been bad in principle. (Hear.) But, after the speech had been delivered, he had expected that the Go vernment would propose something which would decide the question of free trade. Instead of this they said, " Wait till we have proposed our budget ;" they did nothing. Other parties then brought forward a resolu tion, and the Government then proposed one of their own. A third resolution was introduced, and what was then the conduct of the Goverment ? Talk of a compro mise ; why the Government liked this last resolution so much that they actually withdrew their own to make way for it—(laughter)—they adopted it, and every one of them ultimately voted for it. (Hear.) The Govern ment having thus pledged themselves, all that remained was to get the pledge endorsed by that house. But here, at the last moment, the noble earl paused, and by refusing what was adopted by his Government, he was undoing what had already been done, re-opening the case, throwing doubt on the sincerity of other parties, and perhaps leading foreign powers to suspect that Par liament itself was not sincere. (Hear, hear.) On these grounds he was prepared to move the resolution passed in the House of Commons as an amendment to the mo tion ; and he entreated the noble earl, towards whose administration he entertained no hostility, to adopt that resolution. By taking that course he would place the House of Lords in the most exalted position •in which it could stand, that of declaring that they were ready to sacrifice their own imagined interests, and their own former predilections to sup port a policy which was feeding the hungry, and pre venting destitution, and which experience had proved to be beneficial to the country at large. The noble lord concluded by moving the following resolntion as an amendment :—" That it is the opinion of this house that the improved condition of the country, and especially of the industrious classes, is Mainly the result of recent legislation, which has established the principle of unre stricted competition, has abolished taxes imposed for the purposes of protection, and has thereby diminished the cost and increased the abundance of the principal ar ticles of the food of the people ; tha t it is of opinion that this policy, f ir mly maintained, and prudently ex tended, will best enable the industry of th countrye bear its burdens, and wi ll thereby most surely promote house will be ready to take into consideration any m ea- the welfare and conten tment of the people ; that this sures consistent with this principle, which, in pursuance of her Majesty's gracious speech and recommendation, may be laid before them. The question having been put, and no other Peer seeming disposed to rise, The Earl of DERBY said he had certainly been de sirous of waiting somewhat longer before he addressed their lordships, in order that he might know view the t position in noble lord appeared were eho a u t essp e r ge e n n e t ra p l ia ly e t e o d o ; k b o u f t, on which they inclined to rise, his duty would not allow him to let the question be put with ahsolute silence on his own part. What he chiefly desired to do, however, was to call their lordships attention to thew i p n la g c w ed ee i k n qu.conlstewoeunlaceboef recollected positiontook that n laee which they were motion gave noti ce o f hi s the noble marquis who had ononTtuheesdparyecleasdt inte n n t o i o w n to broughtmoveforward resolution on the free trade policy of the country, w ithout stating oluttiohne at the time the precise words which he meant to propose. In the course of a short conversation which took place on that occasion, he stated to the noble marquis the grounds on which he hoped the house would be spared the necessity of any conflict of opinion on the subject. He said he thought it was most desirable that the past should now be consigned to oblivion, and that they should look to that which was really important, namely, the future conduct of the Government of this country. He then stated to the noble marquis the substance of the amendment which he wished to submit, in order to ascertain whether it met his views and those of his friends. It was at that time, he believed, the intention of the noble marquis, if he brought forward his motion at all, to give notice on Tuesday for that day, in order that noble lords who had gone down to the country might have an opportunity of recording their opinion, and in order that those who were in London might be induced to remain. He (the Earl of Derby) suggested to the noble marquis that he should postpone his final decision on the subject till Thursday, and that if he still persisted • in his intention of moving a resolution to which con siderable objection was felt on that side of the house, he should extend the period of notice. When he came down to the house on Thursday, the noble marquis met him in an outer room, and offered to show him the precise words which he meant to move. He (the Earl of Derby) had at that time written down the words which ho LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 7, 1852. STEAM TO AUSTRALIA.-RAPID STEAM COMMUNICATION.

THOMAS HOOD'S GRAVE.—The publication in Eliza's Cook's Journal of" Lines written at Kensall-green Cemetry," has induced numerous readers to express an earnest de sire to assist in raising a fund for the purpose of placing a memorial over the remains of" Poor Hood." Many a burst of merriment has echoed above " Hood's Comic Annual," from the lips of all classes. For many a year he cheered our Christmas firesides with racy humour, that never wearied by its frivolity nor offended by its coarseness. Far and wide was he known as the Poet of Mirth: but the higher development of his genius and the nobler purpose of his muse were shown in such glorious hymns as " The Song of the Shirt" and the " Bridge of Sighs." Those who have read either of these poems will acknow ledge that such a man deserves to have a mark upon his sleeping place, so that it may be found without the help of a grave-yard servant, and an who have laughed at his inimitable wit, or sighed over his human tenderness, are now earstly solicited 6. spare what they can in aid of a purpose which is alike praiseworthy in tne living and due to the dead. At the request of the committee, Miss Eliza Cook has consented to be Treasurer to the fund, and Mr. John Watkins to be Honorary Secretary.

The Paris journals of yeaterdal are principally taken up with the speech tof the Chancellor of the xchequer, which has excited much attention, an d ndeed admiration. The Debats rejoices to be able to find in the full adoption of the principle of un restricted competition, an argument against the narrow exclusiveness of the French commercial code. The Patrie, organ of the Government, is not pleased at the confirmation which the favour able reception of the Minister's statement in Par liament and by the press affords of its prophecies in favour of the stability of the Cabinet. With regard to local affairs, the Constitutionmel argues that the great rise in French securities springs from the generally prosperous state of the country, and not from manoeuvres of any kind or forced speculation. Proof that its view is correct lies (it says) in the fact that there is equal activity in all branches of commerce. Lord Cowley has received his credentials as Am bassador to the Emperor Napoleon 111. The Emperor heard mass on Sunday in the chapel of the Tuileries. In all the churches of the diocese of Paris, the Domine salvunt fac Imperatorent no strum Napo leonent was chanted on Sunday according to the form prescribed in 1804 by the Holy See.' The Senate was sitting yesterday on the subject of the civil list, which it i& well known will be nominally_ twenty-five millOwsk- but in. reality nearer to thirty millions, for the Emperor will be allowed from four to five millions for keeping the Imperial chateaux in order. A further sum of two millions and a half is granted for the imme diate relatives of the Emperor. It is now affirmed that the Pope will come to Paris to crown the Emperor on the 30th of May next, and afterwards proceed to Milan to crown the Emperor of Austria and King of Hungary. The Government has received by telegraph ac counts of the proclamation of the Empire in the departments, particularly at Lyons, Rouen, Or leans, Nantes, Tours, Toulouse, Bar-le-Duc, Va lence, St. Etienne, trasbourg, Na nc y, Lille, and Valenciennes. The proclamation was • made in presence of the civil and military authorities, and in the midst of enthusiastic cries of " hive Napo leon III." The clergy spontaneously offered its co-operation to the civil authorities in causing Te Deums to be sung, as a proof of the part taken by religion in this great national event. The towns have also everywhere voted funds for charitable purposes, and have thus eagerly responded to the noble ideas of the chief of the state, and to the example given by the city of Paris. We read, in the last number of the Revue des Beaux Arts : " The authorities have ordered the withdrawal from the windows of the printsellers of a lithographic print, representing Prince Louis Napoleon in the robes of the Emperor. The Emperor, it is said, has renounced the idea of the Spanish costume, to adopt, as the insignia of the ceremonial, the uniform of marshal, accompanied with the ermine mantle, covered with bees and the crown of the Empire, which will be modified in such a manner as to make it accord with the military dress." ri Abd-el-Kader, who has left Paris for Amboise, is to return to the capital on Thursday, to proceed by railway to Marseilles. Commandant Boisson net, at the request of the Emir, is to accompany him to Broussa. The number of Marshals of France, which was recently reduced to four, by the deaths of Mar shals Gerard and Excelmans, is by the recent pro motions of Generals Magnan, Leroy de Saint- Arnaud and de Castellane, seven. The other four are Marshal Reille, who was named in 1847, by King Louis Philippe, the Prince Jerome Bona parte, Marshal Harispe, and Marshal Valliant, named in 1851 under the presidency of Louis Napoleon.

In the sitting of the 2d of the Chamber of De puties at Turin, Count Cavour, Minister of Finance and President of the Council, made his financial statement, which Svas listened to with uninterupted attention. After showin g that the financial condi tion of Piedmont was fast recovering from its pro stration, owing to the preceding measures, he an nounced that new loans were only to be had recourse to for extraordinary expenses, and in case there were no other means of meeting them ; that considerable reductions would be made in the pnblic expen diture, but that nevertheless some increase of taxation would be ne cessary. Thi s is to be distributed upon the entrance duties now under discussion, the personal t ax, duties, ko., the commercial tax, the stamp —and a new tax is to be laid upon carriages . The amoun t o f this increase . is laid at 1 4 to equalise the receipts with the expenditure. The Minister then presented four bills, viz., two for the sanction of the budgets of expenses and receipts for 1853, one to authorise the Government to levy taxes until the end of March, 1853, and one for the alienation of two millions of francs of Rente. The Risorpmento of Turin of the 3d, states, from Florence, that arrests continue to be made in several towns of Tuscany, the police having dis covered, it is said, immense quantities of docu ments relating to a widely organized conspiracy. SWITZERLAND. According to letters from Genoa and Berne, an Anglo-Swiss company has app li e d t o th e Govern ment for permission to constr uc t th e entire web of i ra il wa y s projected .n Switzerland. The expense of these railways will amount to several hundred m illion francs, owing to th e grea t diff icu lti es o f exe cution. The railway consider e d the most im portant is one which, passin g through Mont St. Bernard, will go from Lausann e t o the valley of Aosto by Vevey, and join the Sardinian line which goes to Turin. The same railw a y will be united to the French lines, so that Paris and London will be within easy reach of Turin . an d Genoa. The Swiss authorities have applied to the Sard i n i an Government for its co - operation in the execution of the works in the Mont S. t. Bernard and that Go vernment has promised it. The proposed line from L aus anne to Turin will be 200 kilometres in length ; whereas that projected. by L yons , G ene va, Chambery, and Mont Cen t s would_ i be about 310 1 kilometres. the editor of a public journal, or write articles for one, under pain of being condemned to an impri sonment of from one to three months, and in case of repeating the offence, to dismissal. £303 18 0 Future subscriptions will be announced in The Times and other papers.

A letter from Wilna of the 24th ult., in a Frank fort journal, says :—" The recruitment in Russia this year is infinitely more considerable than last year. All the regiments have their full complement of men, whereas last year the troops in the pro vinces had scarcely more than one half of their men and horses. The troops are constantly on the move, no regiment remaining a month in the same quarters." By the last returns of the cholera at St. Peters burg it appears that, on the morning of the 24th ult., there were 393 ill of that disease ; in the course of the day there were 46 new cases, and 23 deaths. NAYAL INTELLIGENCE. THE ROYAL YACHT.—The defects of the Royal yacht Victoria and Albert, Capt. Crispin, are ordered to be made good for her Majesty's early excursion in 1853. Some of our contemporaries seem doubtful as to whether the Cressy, 80, building at Chatham, will be converted into a screw-ship or not. There can be no longer any doubt on the matter. There can be no justi fication for launching any ship without a screw propeller. The Cressy was designed by a committee of the late School of Naval Architecture, and will be fitted with engines of 400-horse povier. PORTSMOUTH, DEC. 6. Her Majesty's steam-yacht Fairy, Captain Cris pin, came into harbour at eight o'clock this morning from Cowes, with intelligence to the Commander-in- Chief that their Royal Highnesses Prince Albert, the Duc de Brabant, and the Comte de Flandres, would in spect the dockyard during the morning. She returned at half past 8 for the Royal visitors, who embarked in her from Osborne-pier at 10 o'clock. Prince Albert's standard and the Belgian Royal standard were hoisted at the main of the yacht, and were saluted by the Russian corvette-of-war Dvina, at Spithead, and the Platform battery ; as also by the Victory on entering this harbour. The Fairy was very skilfully laid along side of the dockyard sheer jetty, on which the Royal party landed, where Admiral Sir Thomas Briggs and staff, and the captains of the fleet, and officers of the dockyard were in waiting to receive there, and escort them over the establishment. Their Royal Highnesses were first con ducted to the Duke of Wellington, 131, in the steam basin, receiving her maclainery, on board which they went, and remained some time. From her they pro ceeded to the ships on the slips building—the Prince of Wales, 120 ; Marlborough, 120 ; Royal Sovereign, 120 ; Royal Frederick, 120 ; and Princess Royal. The steam factory was also inspected ; after which the illustrious party embarked at the north corner of the dockyard in the Port Admiral's barge, and were conveyed on board the gunnery ship Excellent, Captain Chads, C. 8., who exercised the crew in shell and shot firing at the targets, and other duties. From. the Excellent their Highnesses proceeded to the Neptune, 120, Captain Scott, and in spected that ship, from -which they went to the Blenheim, 60 (screw), Captain Henderson, C. 8., and inspected her also. On leaving the Blenheim the Royal Princes and party re-embarked in the Fairy, which conveyed them back to Osborne, saluted. as before. The Leander, 50, Captain King, was brought into No. 2 dock to-day, to have her bottom cleaned, which was found to be very foul. The Monkey steam-vessel arrived this morning from the eastward, with 30 marine artillerymen and supernu meraries. PLYMOUTH, DEC. 6. Her Majesty's steani vessel Spiteful, Commander Charles Parker, was unroasted on Saturday. Her crew will be paid off to-morrois The steam-frigate Magi•cienne, Captain Thomas Fisher, was placed at her sailing moorings on Thursday. The Nile, 90, is to be placed in dock and fitted with a screw propeller. A frigate or corvette of 28 or 36 guns was observed at 10 a.m. yesterday reaching down by the wind off the harbour. She carried Ohre° royals, topgallant sails and courses, square mainsail, jib and flyingjib, and, as her masts raked considerabki - , she is supposed to be a foreign man-of-war, probably belonging to Denmark. A. large paddle-wheel steam-packet, under all canvas and steam, was observeOl going fast' up Channel, inside the Eddystone, at half. past 4 o'clock, on Sunday after noon ; she was high out; of the water, barque-rigged, had painted ports, and looke d like one of the Peninsular and Oriental boats—probabl; y the Madrid, from the Mediter ranean, for Southampto:n.

Commander Hyde Parker arrived at Woolwich Dock yard to-day at 12 o'cloo::k noon, and immediately hoisted his pendant on board tl ie Cruiser steam-sloop, and issued notices that he is in ws.nt of petty officers, able seamen, and stokers, to serve fai. the fine sloop he has just com missioned. The Fisgard, flag-ship of Commodore Henry Eden, is in want of twenty-fire: boys who have been a year at least at sea, but none under that period of service will be entered at present. A contract was entered into on Friday last at the Ad miralty by two eminent engineering firms for the con struction of eight pain: of engines, each pair to be of the collective power of 40120 horses, and all adapted for screw propelled ships of war.. John Penn and Son have ob tained the contract for the 400-horse-power engines for the Royal Albert, 120, building at Woolwich Dockyard, and now decided to ham e new engines on John Penn and Son's patent trunk prim ciple, which gave such satisfac tion in the Agamemnon, 90, also built at this dockyard. The engines, although. nominally of 400-horse power, will be made to work xila to the power of 1,200 horses ; but engines of 600 nominal horse power would have been desirable in the Royal Albert, as she is a powerful first class ship of war, and worthy of having engines of equal power at least as the Agamemnon, the latter vessel being fitted wit h engines of that power. The other ships to be converted into screw steam-ships, and fitted each with engines of 400-horse power by John Penn and Son, are the Princess Royal, 90, building at Portsmouth ; the Royal George, 120, at Sheerness ; and the Euryalus, 50,. building at Chatham. Messrs. Maudeslay, Sons, and Field have contracted for the other four pairs of engines o:T 400-horse power each, and they are to be fitted with ,screw propellers for the following ships of war :—The E).anouth, 90, building at Devonport; the Clarence, 84, building at Devonport; the Cressy, 80, building at Chatham; and the Majestic, 80, also building at Chatham. The ex g,ines of 600-horse power, making by John Penn and Son for the St. Jean d'Acre, 100, are now nearly completed, and will be ready for commencing fitting on board when. she is launched from Devonport Dockyard, where she , is building and nearly ready for launching. The engines of the Royal Albert will be ready in June next, by which time the vessel will be ready for launching; and in the course of another year it may be calculated that the following powerful ships will be ready for sea, and al .1 fitted with screw propellers : ADDITIONS TO THZ SCREW STEAM NAVY IN 1853. . .
