Still the French soldier, with his loose and easy dress, shone, and leather gaiters, is much better adapted for the field than our men, smothered with their buff belts and Ligbt uniform, and their quarter-boots, " looking well," but which hurt the feet after being once wet. And it may be a question if some improvement as to dress and equip• meat may not be tried upon tho 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 bo ti,ed as soldiers. I have had much experience in organizing recruits and in attempting to make them fit fur the field in the shortest possible time, and they were men even of 0 better class than what can be expected irons th e pro posed militia; and it is preposterous to imagine that such men, with 21 days' bodily exercise, will be capable of showing face in the field to reg ular troo p s of an y nation at a distance of 300 yards. However, if; during that period; they were drilled to loading and firing with a firearm which could be as efficacious at from 400 up to 800 yards, they might then do execution at a distance, and still avoid being thrown into any great confusion. In every description of the war in Spain the enemy armed peasantry, and French officers were always certain of vi c t ory aga i nst an y f orc e of militia or half formed troops, if t h e y on ly could get near t hem, no and d ted the French were the Miqu e let s to be feared b y matter the n um b ers . Th e D u k e of Wellington, during the disturban ces i n S cot l an d i n 1819, acted upon this very principle, issuing or d ers Glasgow rioters in h might be. The Duke an d F renc h officers knew that if , half-drilled men attempt to act as p r ofessional soldiers , no matter what may bo their un if orm . th e y are so loosely opinion p a i n i o irrecoverable of the the value panic. n o i f c . in his put together, and have so lit t l e con fid ence in their cffi cers, that the first round shot whi c h pl unge s into them, t efield, d f , o r whatever e ti t t e r v o e o r p troops theirto attack numbers the or volley fired, and then a " Hurrah!" will split them i p u n to ke p lettersioefeto Wellington'sati tla d e Dukeprode n -of York in December, to Colonel Banbury in February, 1813. In another place the Duke says, " Until a suldier has served two interior, w 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 w.th the old musket. But if the militia were drilled solely to firing at a distance with precision, they might be useful, as no on British horses as soon as landed invaders can ever land a orce of cavalry or horses for the artillery. Napoleon, in his threatened invasion, was so aware of this, that he made little or no arrange mentold musket, can do the s ß a P m e e n for embarking horses, but each boat was pro videdsaat 900 it t h hi s s ad s d im ler p y le an in d ari a ce rt u il v l r e e ry w h o a u r i n d es h s, av t e o put mistaken as to cavalry and suppose that, if all h render cavalry ' a g n u d it a e rti f l o l r e g r ya o r rs d e s s d o i n sta h n is ce lan a di d ng th h e ad n b ai e l en ba d l r l i , v o en ut t y e o o t u i t t n s h he g e ; the cavalry and moment there is not a regiment artillery useless. But the improved musket-rifle can also . imen ar s tn f lery ; I believe at this confusion and fear of le served field-battery, owing to the conf ppose I am said to be (as I have witnessed) at a distance of 650 yards. the horses at the noise and smoke of against a well-cavalry that could be brought to make an effective chargeo rendered be remedy this and give the horses confidence,e t c h annon. To in the wars of the Caucasus, in drilling hade -Russians, before the watering places of the cavalry, The cavalryatteries got co water the morning of the drill, but after some hours of hard work the horses became thirsty, The cavalry were posted in front of the fiel d batteries, which began to play. Loose reins wore given, and, at full gal. lop, the cavalry passed between the guns of the batte ries, and thus lost fear of artillery. Aug. 26.

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., V, 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., So. 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 us 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 Os to .100 30s; t 43 7$ °I 0 455; 9.; lio E.

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.

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 Mddical 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 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 of every one interested in the matter."—Dublin Medical Press, April 28,1852.

E.

WORSHIP-STREET. Elizabeth a young woman of about 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, had 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 tho 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 mes sengers were dispatched in every probable direction upon the same errand, but no tidings whatever could be o b ta i n ed of it until the preceding afte rnoon, w hen they we re at length rejoiced by th e little boy being br oug ht 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 M`Mullen, 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 whether she had left her situation, returned such evasive and contradictory replies that he felt satis fied she had bean guilty of some misconduct, and coin. apprehension. pelted her to go with him to her master's residence, upon reaching which he was apprised of the mental anguish they had been enduring through her scandalous beha viour, wiathnedeswandidcehd,resulted ia her own been subjected for a long time past to constant ag sin timere received j after ye through her into dis tress and disgrace in consequence of the prisoner's vi cious and abandoned hab its, and, although he had placed her in numerous respec table and comfortable pow e s r it t u o at e i ff on ec s, t she had invariably lost them in a short her incorrigible thieving p ro p ensities and general mis conduct.

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 borne if she had been propeily 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 any thing in answer to the charge, she shook her head and maintained an obstinate silence, Mr. INGHAM ordered her to be brought up again for he completion of the depositions, and at the same time .ntimated his intention to commit her for trial.

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 Kilmorey's, up to the Duke of Buccleuch's, and finish at the bridge.

THE IiiIPRO VED RIFLE MUSKET. EDlTOR eview OF for TTHE, e T h I , M I E B s S . 2, on The Sir, —My attention has been lately called to an ar ticle in the T :ua T r li tel R y Cannon, the Musket, and Rifle," in which it is admitted that the musket-rifle (improperly called " Mini 6"), being constructed on more scientific principles. " fairly beats poor Brown Bess out of the field ; " and the reviewer states that, " were our soldiers universally mechanicians or gamekeepers, he would advocate their immediate ar mament with either the needle•gun or musket-rifle 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 inducad me to make in quirks 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 to their former trades or oc cupations; and the remain ing conscripts are put aside for the infantry of the line. From what I have seen I should say a very large proportion of th e B r i t i s h infantry are such as would be chosen for the duty as performed b y the Chasseurs de Vincennes. It is un necessary to enter into all the arguments of the reviewer against the improved rifle musk et , as the re cent order of the Duke of Wellington for serving out 100 of these imp roved firearms to each regiment is an answer to most of his assertions; but as is is evident that the reviewer is not only an officer who,, has minutely studied his profession, gt in the field, one of hi s assertions has must alsoseen much service over, " that the Mini( rifle h as no blank point range whatever." not be passe This old and experienced officer makes the following alarming remark:—" Consider what will be when a reg i men t armed the consequences with the Mi r e 6 rifle is pressed upon by a lino o f infantry plain bore muskets, th e fo rmer giving n wieldingtheir fire eagerly, improved perhaps accurately, will be astonished to nearer the enemy a pp r o ac h th e l ess fatal find that the their volleys become, while the latt e r, encouraged b im munity from danger which th ey ex y the p first shake the riflemen with a telli n g discharge, will level their bayonets, and sweep th e m fromtr then and so it will be when cavalry fall upon s e field; which the fire, though very destructive at 200 1 u yards, nres, of even more uncertain within these limits than beyond is nd them; such squares will as certainly be broken as they are attacked." In the last dispatch of General M`Ma hon, detailing his late razzia in Algeria, his rear-guard only consisted of two companies armed with the im proved mnsket-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 now 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 11. 6g., and the im proved or Mini 6 rifle 21. 35.: and the contract price for new or Mini( 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 Mini( 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 Mink': ball. 150 yards—The improved musket rifle with Mini 6 ball twice as good as old musket and spherical ball. 200 yards—Ditto, thrice as good. 300 yards—Ditto, seven times better than. 400 yards—Ditto, eleven times better than. 500 yards—The improved musket-rifle with Minid ball hit nearly as often as at 150 yards, but no old mus kets hit. 600 yards—Ditto, bit 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 found if 150 men of any of these four regi ments were armed with the improved musket-rifle and Mini(' ball, that 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. When you published my letter on the 3d of January, 1852, I stated therein that this new firearm and ammu nition would make a complete change in the system of actual warfare, and I am daily more and more fortified in this by the experience of the oldest and most expe rienced officers of the French army who have witnessed the experiments at Vincennes , Toulouse, and Grenoble. Their opinion is, that heavy c avalry can now no longer be used with effect, and that ar tillery must be restricted A to siege operations and defence of tortifieg places. eer the distinguished officer, upon whose word a as u ured e me e that most implicit confidence can be placed, s he lately saw Captain Minis (th e inventor of the Culot ball) (bal primitif ) hit a butt (target) sev2petimes out was about 100 feet in length, and about eighteen feet in 100 strong shows h a front height.

I suppose th e beads of _ _ tzarils, a b ou t 10 feet from the ground. when mounted, are nearl correct the If this calculation as to cavalry is , chances are that four out of the seven Captain ainie would have taken effect even through the t hi s experiment Captain Weis cuirasses. In makinT did not place the fire lock to his should a h er, but bonheld it I ti g ht against the upper part of his right. u nch e. have seen a pair of double-barrelled pistel s with which the above distinguished officer has hit a small target eight times out of ten shots at a distance of 180 yards, but the range is much greater. The late impartial ex periments by these four regiments proved the decided superiority of the improved musket -rifle over the old musket; but it may perhaps be interesting to show how much =lke efficacious the old musket may be made by being loaded in a peculiar man ner. In my first letter I referred to the " nail ball" invented by Lieut. Nesler, 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 no doubt but that it will come into use in future wars. The ball has been objected to on the score of humanity, but the same objection may be made to round shot, rocket , she ll, ba y onet, lan ce , and sabre, and to the red-hot 68-pounder shot lately used by the Sesostris at Burmah. A nail of about two inches long, of equal thickness at the he ad as at the point, i the hole of the mould of the common muskets put into the boiling lead is put into the hole , and thus ball, and the nail is firmly fixed in the ball. The nail protrudes at one end only. The engraving of it may b e aeon, figure 75, in plate 6, of the fourth edition of Cour s tatifs, by Captain Panot. I sha ll sur lea Armes Per now mention what I have lately witnessed; the experiments were by this talented author. A Captain Panot was a regiment was at ball practice; owed to take one of their fire looks.

It has been attempted in e qually ke cannon-balls upon the same principle, to ma France resented nail was generally broken off before but the left the cannon. Captain Panot has tried load the ba ll two balls, and the effect in battle at distances load ing with under 200 yards would be terrible, but the recoil is too e s and the firelocks thus used are soon rendered un greerviceable. s To those military men who take an interest in the com parative perfection of the British and French armies, and who are anxious to see what is going on in the French army in regard to armament and mancenvring, I would call their attention to the new publication of Capta in Panot, " Discussion sur l'Organization et lnstruetiorde l'lnfanterrie Francaise," and they will there find how strong prejudices are engendered and remain among old military men of all nation s. The Fren ch army still con tinue to move with three ranks, and even to fire, except the Chasseurs de Vinc ennes, wh o fire with two , ranks. The theory is that the third rank do not fire, bur load their own and the firelocks of the centre rank for the centre rank to fire ; but I remarked that even in " ball practice" this system, even with the front rank kneeling, not only causes bad firing but great confusion, In action the third rank, in spite of all orders, do fire, and even though many experienced More pointed out the inefli- NAVAL IN T HLLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.—We re;ret to report that the Vestal, 26, Captain Hamilton, that sailed last evening for Halifax, got on shore at Hamstead Ledge (a point turning out from the Isle of Wight between Cowes and Yarmouth) last night, at eleven o'clock. The Vestal had light baffling winds, with a strong westerly tide, and was drifting rather than sailing, and the night very hazy. She tried to stay off bhore, but would not come round. She was prepared for anchoring, but before she could do so tee ride, which sets round the ledge, swiftly took her on shore. Every possible exer tion was made to get her afloat, but the tide ebbing she remained hard and fast. At two A az. one of her boats was dispatched to Portsmouth, and arrived at six, when Rear-Admiral Prescott, the Master Attendant (Mr. Underwood), and a party of riggers, went down in the 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 Fire Queen, with the Admiral and Master Attendant on board, was just nearing her. The Echo tug afterwards took her in tow, and she again anchored at Spithead at three e h o o c m k u o omoSmhihreoaDknweoti elrrlkoo come o,o pmf osfmtoe raw i m nt eee o rrn:c h ce a Atrahbpseot Captain ih r n ee t cri o lies - i m nswtg o eac r al r om o r nn w e eor will ~ : andtwi r Tn dimnet last' ovcsel night,toihoek rt and the wa t er quite smooth, the ship t to had scarcely vessel, got an d out returned n t o harbour when our the as top soon half as cannot have received much d amage . went out of harbour yest er d ay, to test h er mac hi nery.
