TO THE LADIES. • This lady had the following letter Inserted in the "Times" news k.Por on Aug. 7, 1 3 46. Reader , reme mber, this letter was put into the Paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor mlity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grlmstone, of the llerbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having corn "lately restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, '2 1 (1 the whole of her hair is much stro n g er and more luxuriant than I lever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to - the virtues of Mr. G.': 4 egenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an Its. bottle if tkey were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund nee, but as a cure et nervous h eadache ; as a toilet perfume iti far "eYoUd any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any "m l 3' of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough." In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afa w Ldrops on the crown of the head occasionally. every week, will pre vent the hair frorn coming away with the comb, muse it strong, and Prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A W drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the blest aromatic herbs and!lowers with confidence ; its refreshing o dour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion 3 the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour tea or twelve drops Vthe crown of the heal; if very ba d, re p eat it every quarter of an tt'. In most cases relief is certain In ten minutes. It produces hair ou children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants' heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre- Vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—:See ° a3 :ePhlet of testimonials.

STERILITY. —Whatever is unproductive is with ` out intrinsic value. Man and his Maker alike condemn that "telt " yields n• fruit," and we find larg e tracts of land abandoned for. the same reason th - tt caused the barren fig tree to be cursed. This curse clings to Sterility in every shape ; it brings upon the earth 'amine. But the malediction breathes loudest and deepest into the "r of those of the human race who remain childless in a community which must altogether fail, without c ontinual additions. Not only ° such encounter the silent scorn or p it y of their fellow creatures, but their own hearts condemn them ; wealth brings no consolation 1 0 the wifeless bosom —brings no retur n for the childless home. isE remarkable fact that the unproductiveness of soil and s pecies arises from similarity of cause. Some lands are t he i produce of vitiated strata t hat y ields an offspring as .nhealthy as itself. Others nurture in their juices the poison of l linerals, which form the foe to vegetation. Others a g ain lose value Y being too early worked, before they are fit for cultivation, Some :Vs, originally fertile, become barren by excess of tillage; others ▪ 'Roiled by unwholesome manures ; and others, again, by the T ant of perseverance and neri'e In the hu sbandman. Mark the ana logy! Man also is too often vitiated by the parent from whom he s Prlngs. Man is too often ruined by the indiscriminate use of mine rals, such as mercury, &c. Man also tries his constitution too early, and .wertasks it too late. Man, by unwhol esome contact can also in fect his fame ; ant, to render the comparison complete, man can render a naturally vital constitution unproductive through ignorance of ills organization and diffidence in his powers. Nor does the analogy ..`easehere. The detriments to cult ivation above detailed have I:eels recently se entirely overcome by modern improvement in agricul !Ye, that farmers are now enabled to produce crops almost from 'Lune itself; and, in like manner, Sterility in the human race is now r elnovable through the profound • discoveries in physic which enlighten ~"'S present age. In testimony o f this, a volume has recently been vroduced which fills the heart with hope and is calculated to remove Sterility altogether. Itts from the pen of Messrs. J. L. CURTIS _ 4%.

MAIL-GUARD l A IL I LED Ay Of E L r doarer morning, A N p N O:HSat u a b ou t three o'clock, an accident occurred on this line at Crewe, by which a mail - guard was deprived of life. The NORTH WESTERN th R C Lw . man's name was Leigh Hare, and he had left Manchester by the mail-train which forms a junction at Crewe with the mails from Liverpool, Chester, and Holyhead, on tht it way to London. It was his duty to remain at the Crewe station till the down mail from London arrived, a little after three in the morning, and then return to Manchester with bags from that train, and also with bags previously brought by the Chester and Holyhead up trains for Manchester. The guards have a room at Crewe in which to lock their bags during the five hours they wait there forthe down mail, and,Hire,having waited till within a few minutes of the time the train was due, was carrying his Chester and Holyhead bags across the line, in readiness to start for Manchester, when a lug gage train suddenly came upon him, the engine of which knocked him down on one of the rails, and the wheels of the engine and waggons on one side went over his body and head, crushing them. Hare was a tall, and rather fine-looking man, well known on the road between Lei cester and Manchester for many years before the Lon don and North-Western Railway was opened, as the guard of the old four-horse London and Manchester mail, on that pert of the journey. RAILWAY TRAIN ON FIRE.—A correspondent who was in the carriage to the rear of the one on fire sends us the following particulars:—The express train to London took fire on Monday evening, when about 15 miles to the south of Berwick. The passengers to the rear of the carriage on fire felt a smell of burning, which was quickly succeeded by a brilliant glare of light. The alarm having been immediately given by passengers in the different carriages shouting to the engineer, and waving their hats from the carriage windows, the train was quickly brought to a stand, and the fire, which had assumed a terrific appearance, extinguished by water from the tender. The fire took place in the roof of a first-class carriage, and was caused, it is supposed, by a cinder from the engine, as cinders were flying past the carriages in immense quantities all the way from Berwick to Newcastle—the fire-box appearing to be insufficient. We believe the guard was on the half uncovered luggage van next the engine; but, at all events, such an accident as this shows the necessity for passengers having some mode of communication with the engineer. We need scarcely say that the terror of the passengers—some of them ladies—in the burning carriage was indescribable. We understand that on the same evening the axletree of one of the carriages in the train to Berwick took fire when about a mile south of Morpeth. The fire was im mediately discovered by the guard, and got under before any serious damage was done.—Edinburgh Witness. DISCOVERY OF ROMAN REMAINS.—The workmen employed at the gas works in Wigan, in lowering the yard to the level of the street, during the past and pre sent week, have discovered the fragments of no less than thirty to forty Roman urns, containing calcined bones, and what appears ,to have been charcoal. They were found about two feet from the surface of the earth. Some years ago, on digging for the foundation of the gas works, one urn, containing similar substances was found. " There is no doubt (says the Manchester Ex aminer) but that Wigan was a Roman station, as three of the Roman roads diverge from it, and it is conjectured as the Romans buried their dead outside their city walls, and near to their highways, that this spot was their burying-place. It is supposed that they are near 1800 years old. They appear to be made of three different kinds of material, the greater portion being the red clay." By command of the Postmaster- General, Lane-end, near Stoke upon-Trent, Staffordshire, is in future to be designated Longton for all purposes of postal communi cation, and instructions have accordingly been forwarded to all postmasters. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. NORTH BRITISH. The report of the directors to be presented at the half yearly meeting to-morrow (Wednesday) in Edinburgh recommends that a dividend be declared at the rate of five per cent. per annum on the original North British, and on the Dakeith branch shares, out of the nett revenue, 24.4481., leaving a balance of 4881. It state; that the traffic had increased 8,3101. during the past half-year. as compared with that of the correspt nding period of 1847. The rum expended on the works amounts to 3,163,450/.; and the directors expect from the opening of the High Level-bridge, and other facilities, that the traffic on the line will continue to increase. LIVERPOOL, MANCHESTER, AND NEWCASTLE JUNCTION. A meeting of shareholders in this company was held at Manchester on Friday; Mr. T. Peet in the chair; to consider what steps ought to be taken for enabling the shareholders to receive back the remainder of the funds after discharging all the liabilities of the company. It was stated that there was above 60,0001. in hand, that•ihe liabilities were about 9,0001., leaving 50,0001 for divisio❑ among the shareholders, provided they could stop the further proceedings of the directors with respect to another dissolution Bill, the last having cost the sum of 9,0001. • _ _ The general opinion was, that as long as there was any money left there would be no end to contention car ried on at the expense of the shareholders; and the only, way to make peace was to divide the remaining funds, without seeking a dissolution Bill, leaving a sufficient sum in hand to liquidate all liabilities. It was stated that the directors were now taking measures to aprdy for ano ther dissolution Bill, which would entail considerable expense, because all the owners, lessees, and occupiers of land upon the line must be served with notices. A shareholder believed that the wholvof the , agreements entered into with the laiklownereinight have been set tled for 1,5001. or 2,0001., and the project abandoned, while 9,000/. had been spent in promoting a dissolution Bill which was lost. Resolutions were passed appointing a committee to carry out the objects of the meeting, consisting of Messrs. J. Hobson, H. Rawson, and Pect, to induce the directors not to make any application to Parlisment for a Bill, and requesting the sharehohlers to unite in procuring a division of the fund§ and preventing any further unnecessary expenditure. SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE. WALSALL, MONDAY.--To-day the half-yearly meet ing of the proprietors of the above railway was held at the George Hotel. The attendance was numerous. Shortly after half-past one o'clock C. S. Forster, Esq., chairman of the company, took his seat. After the ad vertisement calling the meeting had been read, and the common seal of the company affixed to the register of shareholders, Mr. BARNETT, the secretary, read the e report of the directors, which stated, amongst other particulars, that the early completion of the main line from Walsall to the junction with the Midland Railway, near Alrewas, and the consequent opening of that portion of the under taking in the course of the present year, were now secured; that the portion of the line between Walsall and Bescot, which had now been worked nearly a year, testing the traffic of the district, has fully answered the expectations of the directors, and that the directors had found it necessary to guard against the hazard of delay in the completion of the remaining works on the score of want of funds, by making a fourth call, which would be payable in a few days, but which they had limited to it. per share. This call would enable the directors to complete the line from the junction with the Midland, to that with the London and North-Western Railway. The CHAIRMAN said before putting the resolution adopting the report, he should be happy to afford any proprietor any information relative to the affairs of the company which he might require. Mr.. JOHNSON, Mayor of Lichfield, sail he felt de sirous of knowing the amount of the arrears on each re spective call.—(Hear, hear.) The SECRETARY said, the total amount of calls made was 291,2651. 12s. 64., and the arrears 43,7531. 10 91 The CHAIRMAN remarked that the whole amount of the arrears did not come to more than 9 per cent., and he considered their position in that respect favourabk. The directors were enforcing the payment of all the calls. Mr. WILLIAMS said, at a previous meeting the chair man gave them to understand that the 7L would be suf. t w h a e s Bl B . l. lo l s ° .

Mr. ROGERS observed, at a previous meeting their chairman said they were at that time in an enviable po ' sition—that of a young lady waiting for a partner. lie (Mr. R.) wished to know whether any a ivances had been made? The CHAIRMAN said the question had not yet been popped—(Laughter)—but there was no knowing when it Wight be. Mr. JouNsoN said a report had been pretty generall} circulated that their board, as constituted, was favour able to the narrow gauge only, and thlt if a broad gauge company applied to them, and made propositions, they would not be entertained. Now he was very anxious to know whether the report was true? Tho CHAIRMAN said that no resolution pledging the directors to. any particular gauge had been come to by them, and there was not the slightest ilisinclinaticti to receive an acceptable offer from whatever quarter it came.—(Hear, hear.) The report was adopted, and, after a vote of thanks had been passed to the chairman, the meeting separated. NEW DISTANCE SIGNAL ON THE SOUTII-WESTERN RAILWAY.—This company, with its well-known anxiety to guard against accidents on their line, and to inspire confidence in the minds of those travelling on the South- Western Railway, have been for some time past using every endeavour to find out a plan or method to signal an approaching train, when in danger of its running into other trains preceding, or there being any accidental ob struction, or if the "shunting" of a slow train at any of their stations has not been completed, when an express or fast Wan becomes due; such as at Kingston-ote Thames, where the Guildford quarter-past five from London has arrived; the express ditto, fur Southamp ton, following in five miuutes afterwards. At this sta tion, the first or second class ordinary train has to be moved, or "shunted," to let the express train go by—so near do they sometimes arrive, that mail gentlemen and ladies going by those trains at that hour of the day get out of the carriages until the fast train has gone by, many expressing their fears that some time or other a most serious accident must occur. This induced C. Stovin, Esq., the general manager of the traffic department, to try and find out some method of prevention. In this effort that gentleman had been fortunate enough to succeed, and at the present moment a new distance signal is being fixed up by Dlcssrs. Ste Yens and Son, ironfounders, of Darlington-works, South wark-bridge-road, London. It is so constructed that a man at the station will be enabled, by means of a crank, easily worked, fixed to a wire, similar in thickness to those by which the electric telegraph is now worked, to give the danger signal instaneously at a distance of at least 600 yards from where he is placed ; that signal to be clearly obervable at a further distance of three-fourths of a mile, so that a fast train approaching a sharp curve, the driver will discover the danger, and have ample time to stop before he reaches the obstruction or danger. As it frequently happens such curves are near to stations, this invention will prevent, with ordinary caution in future, dreadful accidents similar to th ose so fre quently occurring of late. The machine o r si g nal stands about twenty feet from the ground , bei n g made secure to a strong frame, firmly fixed ; on the a ides are fastened eennecting rods. *ea athpr wnrkai A t the top the usual colours are painted for day, and similar polours,r‘fLeted from a lamp by night.

The stone viaduct at Bury is finished. The permanent way (double line) is laid through between Darcy Lever and the Bury viaduct. Several of the plat forms and stations are built, and the signals are now being put up ; and should the weather be favourable, the line may be opened for passenger traffic in October next. —Liverpool Albion. -- - S l ET Ny SEPTEMBER 12, 1848. [PRICE SD. SOUTH DEVON RAILWAY.—The working of this line by the atmospheric system will be brought to a conclu sion on Sunday next, when the whole Ivngth of the Fine will be worked for the first time by locomotive power. The atmospheric system, in the language of the di rectors, is to be suspended ; but it is very doubtful whether it will be resumed again on this line. ()a M )n -day last the contractors began to lay the rails for the permanent line towards Plymouth, and the work+ in that part are being carried out with great vigour. The terminus at Plymouth was commenced on Wednesday last. determined in January last, to have all the war-steamers equipped in the same manner, and with this view ap pointed Captain Horatio Austin, C. 8., as the Chief and Commander, and James Agnew Stevens, as the second superintendent of the squadron, in starting the difficult undertaking,. The Blenheim steam guard ship, 56, and 420-horse power, was selected as Captain Austin's ship, and attached to her were 12 war• steamers, six of them to be in the first division and prepared for sea, complete in every department. The division consists of the Cy clops, Birkenhead, Sphynx, Driver, Rattler, and Growler, these vessels are stored, coaled, and in every way made ready for sea at 8 hours' notice, having nothing but pro visions and powder to take on board when ordered on service. In July, it will be recollected that the Cyclops, Driver, and Birkenhead, did put to sea within these eight working hours after being ordered for Ireland. The second division, composed of six other vessels, viz , Retribution, Centaur, Phceaix, Salamander, Cormorant, and Encounter, are not so far advanced, but the first four could be at sea within that number of days; indeed, it the case was very urgent, in forty-eight hours. Besides the above twelve, the same officers have charge of the Dauntless frigate, 300-horse auxiliary power; the Ter magant screw-frigate, of 620-horse power; the Jackal, Otter, Sprightly, and Dwarf, small vessels. In each of the ships of the first division sixteen persons are kept; in the second division, ten, taken from the crew of the Blenheim. So many detachments naturally require constant vigilance on the part of Captain Austin and Stevens, but though six of the vessels are, as above stated, and have been for many months, fully stored, no loss, even of the smallest article, has been expe rienced. The vessels and their machinery are kept as cloan and in us good order as though they were in com mission; and, in fact, the country has the protection so large a steam force affords at the sole expense of the pay and provision of the Blenheim's crew of 265 officers and men, with. the addition of 60 supernumerary stokers. Added to this, the vessels are all fitted by the same officers on one uniform plan, and when commis sioned the captain has nothing to do but to take his ship to sea when manned and ordered, being furnished with a list showing where every article of his stores and equip ment is placed. It is believed the Admiralty intend having the Ajax, a similar ship to the Blenheim (now fitting here for trial), and eight war-steamers, stationed at Devonport; and the La Hogue (same kind of ship to the two before mentioned), with six at Sheerness; thus, three screw-propelled line•of-battle, carrying each 56 guns, and of 450 horse power individually, and 26 war• steamers, will be available when wanted. This is a cheap and efficient guard against a war. The Admiralty, it should be mentioned, appointed all the officers of the Blenheim to her solely on account of their knowledge of steam- vessels. The Cyclops being commissioned, and the Devasta tion returned home, the latter will most probably take the place of the Cyclops in the advanced squadron when repaired. The Adventure, naval-transport, Master Commander Wellington, was towed into harbour this morning to dis charge stores. _ _ Her Majesty's brigantine Dolphin, the Hon.

Captain Lord John Hay, Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, and Captain Eden went on board the Crescy, 84 guns, now in an advanced state of building, having been com menced in April, 18-16, and all the vessels now in course of construction were also inspected by their Lordships. After inspecting the works in the various departments they visited the new grounds, their inspection occupyieg upwards of three hours. Before leasing the dockyard their Lordships partook of a dejeuner at the residence of the Gallant Captain Superintendent, and afterwards pro ceeded in the Wildfire steam-vessel from Chatham to the terminus of the Rochester Railway, and, again cm barking at the Terrace-pier in the Adder steam-vessel, arrived at Woolwich at six o'clock, P.M. During the time the carriages were getting ready their Lnrdships visited the Styx steam.vessel, at present in the east dock, and at a quarter past Biz o'clock left for town. The Vesuvius steam sloop, Commander if. G. Austen, arrived at Woolwich on Friday evening last, to be paid off at this port. She brought home a number of in valids of the Royal Artillery and line regiments from llalifax, Nova Scotia, and Bermuda. in the West Indies. ABSTRACT FROM THE CITY OF LONDON SEWERS' ACT, 1848.

During the past week upwards of fifteen bodies have been cast ashore in the mighbeirhood of Blackpool, Lytham, and Norbreck, together with charred timbers and plink, evidently the wreck of the ill fated Ocean Monarch. On Wednesday the wind, which had pre viously been veering from south-east to south, changed to west, which will account for the bodies being restored to land in this direction. The bodies washed up at Blackpool wore seven in number, namely, four women and three men, and we give the following particulars, which may be the means of leading to the identification of the bodies . I st. A portly lady, apparently about 30 years of age, of middle stature, with auburn hair. She had on a mourning large plaid cotton dress, and round her neck an elastic guard, attached to which is a small camphor bag. She appears to have been a married lady, as there was on the third finger of her left band a gold wedding ring, also a gold hoop, in which was set a pink coloured atone or piece of glass, stamped on the inside with the initials " J. C." 2d. This deceased is of slender make, having on her head a Dunstable bonnet., and a dress of blue hail showered print, blue cotton skirt or top petticoat, and red flannel under-petticoat, and.a4rd..-and white woollen plaid shawl. Under her dress she had on a man's waist coat made of worsted cloth, with a small red flower on a light ground, and small metal buttons. On the wedding Anger was a gold ring marked on the inside with the initials "G. \V." Round her neck was a double row of coral neck-beads with a gold clasp, and her arms ap peared much scorched. This woman had been thrown into premature confinement, and was partly delivered of a child, which was brought with her on shore. She ap peared to be about 43 years of age. The third woman was tall and slender, having a fine cad of auburn-coloured hair. Her dress was a dark claret, made of Orleans cloth, fitted up to the neck. Under her dress she wore a white skirt and white flan nel petticoat; she had also on a pair of white socks. Round her neck was some black tape, attached to which were two apparently common box keys. The fourth was a girl, apparently about 7 or 8 years of age, having on a green plaid overcoat, open at the front, light blue socks, and a pair of new ankle-strap shoes. The following are some particulars respecting the men cast on shore:- Ist. An aged man, with bald head, without upper gar ments, having on a linen shirt, plain at the breast, with horn buttons at the neck and wrists. He had on two pairs of woollen cloth trousers, made of fine cloth, the colour of the under pair being light blue, and of the top (which buttoned up in front) black; brown knitted worsted stockings. Height, 5 feet or 9 inches. 2d. This was evidently the body of a sailor, having on a blue flannel shirt, a pair of blue pilot cloth trou sers, and a pair of sailor's boots. Round his body he wore a leathern belt, in which was a sheath containing a whittle knife. He appeared about 30 years of age, and had black long hair. In his pocket was a small box key. 3d. The body of a boy, apparently abut 7 years of rise, having on a jacket and trousers made of drab cot ton cord, each knee of which was patched with a dark coloured material of the same description. In addition to the above seven (two of which were cast up near South Shore), four bodies, all women, were washed up near Norbreck. The following are a few parti culars respecting these :—ln one of the women's pockets was found a scent-bottle, a coloured bead purse contain ing 165., one wedding, and two ornamental rings ; a silver watch, black braid watch-guard and ribband, and small gold watch key and gold chain, five keys and one lock. On the person of this deceased was a pair of light clue jean stays, a purple silk dress, white petticoat trim med with lace, and a good pair of cloth boots. In the pocket of another (who was attired in a brown silk dress, and appeared about thirty-five years of age) WAS found 31. in gold, one shilling, three combs (including one tortuisehell comb for the back hair), a penkiti'e with pearl handle, a purse, and a wrist-cull: The body of a third seemed to be that of a young person about fourteen years of age. Two of the above had on plaid dresses, and one a tine bonnet with veil attached. Three out of the four, we understand, were interred yesterday after noon at Bi , pliam. 'rho other body will be kept until to-day or to-morrow, as it is expected it will be owned by some of the relatives. From the articles found in her pocket her name is supposed to be Eliz ibeth Steele. Six bodies have been cast upon the Lytham coast — three women, one man, and two boys. In the pocket of one of the women was found a passenger's ticket, issued from the packet-office of Messrs. Harden and Co., with the names of James Mantagh, Mrs. Mantagh and in fant, and Jane Mantagh written on it. In the pocket of another was found a dark rosary of beads and a crucifix. The last named was about 30 years of age. There was nothing particular about the dress of the man. The boys, both about the same age, 16, were dressed in plain frockcoats and trousers. Their bodies were in terred at Lytham church on Saturday afternoon. A body has also been washed ashore on the Fleet wood coast, and, should the westerly breezes continue, there is little doubt many more will be washed up in the same vicinities. A correspondent, whose letter is dated Heysham Tower, near Lancaster, writes as follows:—" A dead body has been washed up near to my house, per fectly naked. I suspected, from a paragraph in the Illustrated London News of the 2d of September, that it might prove to be that of a young man who was missing, named Coombes, who was lost from the Ocean Monarch. I have had it examined by the Mayor of Lancaster. a highly respectable medical man, and his opinion is that the marks et violence had been caused after deaths by the beating of the body upon the rocks. Another body has been picked up clothed in black, and l'rorn a letter and book found in one of the pockets it up• pears to be a person of the name of John Curly, who has a brother and sister named James and Catherine Fallon, Roxbury, Massachusetts, America. There was a card in his pocket of Michael Ryan, 9, Dublin -court, Carlton street, Liverpool, apparently a lodging-house. The letter is dated Roxbury, July 14, 1848, and the Liver pool postmark is August 2, 1848. His clothes are care fully preserved; they are not in good condition. Ac cording to the Act of Parliament 48 George 111., e. 75, both these bodies will be decently interred in the church yard of this parish, and the necessary expenses charged to the county. " If you will give publicity to this in your widely ex tended journal the relations will know that - th© remains of these pour persons has been properly cared for." NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY. - The Devastation steam sloop, six guns and four hundred horse power, Com mander R. C. Mitchell, arrived this morning at Spithead from the Cape of Good Hope station, which she left on the 2d of July, at which time the Havanna'', Eurydice, Hercules, Arab, and Seringapatam were in Simou's Bay. The President (flag-ship) was daily expected from the Mauritius. The Devastation arrived at St. Helena on the 26th of July. No men-of war were there, but several prizes had arrived, captured on the coast of Africa. among them the steamer (mentioned last week), prize to the Penelope, empty. The Devastation sailed from Ascension on the 2d August. Tho only man-of-war there at that time was the Tortoise store and guardship, Captain and Gover nor Hutton. The island was in a vary flourishing state, water in abundance, the turtle-ponds well sup plied, and vegetation thriving most encouragingly. Before they left, the west coast of Africa was tolerably healthy, the squadron being actively employed in cruizing some distance off the land. The Devastation left Ma deira on the 2d inst., having touched there for coals. No British man-of- war was there, but three American, one the Charleston frigate, bearing the Commodore; the Amazon corvette, and the Porpoise brig. The Commodore was liv ing on shore recruiting his health, which had been very much shaken. Captains Jervoise and Miller, of the Royal Engineers, came from the Cape ; also Assistant- Surgeon Thompson, of the 7th Dragoon Guards, from the Cape ; 40 of the Ist St. Helena Regiment volunteers for other regiments ; women and children, invalids from the squadron ; a quantity of condemned stores from the Cape-dockyard ; and the steam machinery of the Snap tender from Ascension (formerly a slave prize to the Penelope) the Commodore having made a sailer of her. The Devastation was stationed on the west coast of Africa during the early part of her present commission, but was ordered to the Cape; on her arrival there she was ordered home. While on the coast she was very fortu nate in taking many slavers, being a powerful steamer, and a good look out constantly kept—one was the cele bratedTres Amigos. Her station was in the Bights, IS months, coaling at Fernando Po several times. She has had three commander': during this short commission (two years and a•half ), two of whom died from the effects of the climate. She is in the highest possible state of efficiency, as regards her crew and discipline, which First Lieutenant Godfrey deserves the credit of ; but in a very bad state as regards her machines and hull. She was inspected this afternoon by the Commander-in- Chief, and passed a highly creditable muster. She is ordered into harbour to be dismantled and paid off. Her mails (from the Cape, St. Helena, Ascension, and Ma deira) wore forwarded to town by the mid-day mail from this port to-day. The 'Tecate steam-sloop, Commander Moorman, was taken into the steam-basin to-day, to htove her refit more rapidly completed. The Phoanix, one of the advanced squadron, followed her into the basin. The Driver steam-sloop, Commander C. R. Johnson, another of the advanced steam squadron, came into the harbour this morning to be paid of'. Upon the subject of the advanced steam squadron we were precluded at the time it was established, by a pres sure of political and continental matter, from properly explaining its character, which may not be out of place now, nor of less interest than earlier.

More exalted than mere passion, it soars high above every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice, but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from its influence, or can avoid its sway ; and business, pleasure, philo sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling power of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage. When union does not take place, however, this passion, this fervour, this gelden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly poison in the heart, which now darkens, as It before bright ened, all things upon earth. How is it that. men, of most un changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life time spent in the fulfilment of every engagement, snap the very con tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind? It Is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important end=. The wretched condition of such a bt-ing must subsequently be beyond measure deplorable 1 Loving and beloved, he entails the most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of unal oyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the attention of all. Those desirous of investigating it will find the fullest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled SELF-PRESERVATION, Illustrated by forty coloured engravincs on the anatomy, physiology, and diseases of the reproductive organs ; with practical observa• Bons on the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting from solitary habits, excesses, 0: infection.

This treatise is the result of a long course o'S study in a peculiar and much neglected branch of medical practice, and the author having ob tained the hi_diest medical honours, is a guarantee for his profes sional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treat ment of these diseases. REVIEW OF THE WORK, La'Mert on the Infirmities of Youth and Maturity.—" There are scenes in the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but Conscience ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf into which such scenes must plunge him 1 In the book before us such a monitor is to he found, calculated to warn and isstruct the erring, without impairing ens idea that can vitiate a mind not al• ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of philosophy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a production calculated to confer a ♦ital benefit, physically and morally, upon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and propriety. A father may trust it in the hands of his boy. By un taught innocence the book Is not, of course, needed ; but wherever laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breathing In these pages is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine." —United Kingdom Magazine.
