Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order that it may be really the cause of mutual halm:item. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness. be raised, and its true source in every instance disc.iosed, in how many could tt pe traced to physical disqualificatlens and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gill, which whet Used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused, the prolific source of mischief, and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on .he nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive •f greater severity of misery to the Mumma frame, than any other to wkloh it is subject. This work contains as accurate and comelete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reprodectiye Organs, and of their relative ooaditiens In health aid disease. It deservedly requires the closest atteation and study, fer what subject can be of mere importance than the preservation of the health, surd ot the physical capabilities of which every maa should possessed. It nafortunetely happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while sufering from their invariable eobsequeeceAs, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plylag to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread S 3 frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking sor assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discriminatien n ascertaining the causes of disease., sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, lave nobly characterise the iatelligent lad practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by his posse ire of the requisite legal qualifications that ho is entitled to esteem and respect in his profea slonal pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. 1)r. LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas certify, and the great extent of his practice for many yearn is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

WHITTAKER, POBLISMER. —George Byrom Whittaker, bookseller and pub fisher, of Ave-Maria-lane, and Phillimore-place, Kensington, who died on the 13th of December last, had executed his will in 1841, which was proved in Doctors' Commons on the 25th of January, by Mr. Riehard---Gilbspet v =bis brother4in-law 4 A4e acting executor. The other executors appointed were Edward Stewart, jun., of Winchester House, Broad street, merchant; and Barclay Farquharson Watson, Esq., of Cambridge-terrace, Hyde Park, and Lincoln's Inn-fields, solicitor, both of whom re nounced. The personal property was valued at 50,0001. He has given and devised to trustees his manors, messuages, lands, tenements, hereditament*, and all other estates, whether freehold, copyhold, or customary, and all his capital and stock in trade, money, debts, and securities, and all other personal estate and effects ; and that they shall absolutely sell his freehold, leasehold, and real estates, and stand possessed of all money from the sale thereof, and, together with the personal estate, to hold the same, upon trust, to be invested in good securities, and out of the interest, dividends, and annual proceeds, in the first place, to pay to his brother, John W. Whittaker, and his daughter, an annuity of 1601., being 801. to each, for their respective lives; and leaves the residue to his sister, Mrs. Ann Gilbert, wife of Mr. Richard Gilbert, of St. John's-square, for her own use; and if he should survive her, to his use ; and, after the decease of both, to apply the principal moneys and premises to and among all their children ; and to each of his executors he leaves 1001 . The will of the Right Honourable Edward Penne father, late Chief Justice of the Court of Queen's Bench in Ireland, was proved first in the Preroga tive Court in Ireland, by his sons, Edward Penne father, Esq., and the Rev. William Ponnefather,' the executors, and has been recently proved in the Pre rogative Court in London, by his son, Edward.Penne father, alone. The funded property and personalty here were valued at 6,0001. The will is without date, and revokes all other wills and testamentary dispositions made by him. His estates are charged with a jointure for. the.life of his wife, to -whom. he has left a pecuniary legacy, and a power of disposi tion over property not• exceeding 6,0001. ;- he also leaves her the Tontine annuity on her life, which is payable in London, and 'that she may make selection of any :one of the carriages, and have the use of the plate and furniture, and the library and books (notlaw books, these he bas left to his eldest son Edward).-13y a deed executed previous to the marriage of his'son Edward with Harriet Hall, of Cobbett'a Hall, Herts, the set- tied estates in England and Ireland were conveyed to his son Edward, subject to certain incumbrances. He devises all his estate, right, and interest, to the town and land of Greenmount, otherwise Kenilworth, Burgessland Island, in River Sim, facing same, the burgegery land of Cashel, and other land elsewhere in the counties of Tipperary and Waterford; to his second son, the Rev. William Pennefather, of Grange Parsonage, Armagh, subject to fines, rents, and an nuities. He leaves to his three younger sons, being his said son William, John (since deceased), and Richard, 5,0001. each. (John having died before the testator, his share will sink into the inhe ritance.) His stock in the Bank of England and certain Louisiana bonds he leaves to his soa Richard, and a further sum of 1,4001. His three eldest daughters namely, Ann, who married Wade Brown, Esq., then of Worcestershire, but late of Wilts; his second daughter, Ellen, wife of the Rev. James Thomas O'Brien, D.D., Lord Bishop of Os sory, Leighlin and Ferns ' • and his third daughter, Susan, wife of Rich a rd Hall, Esq., of Cobbett's Hall—had each received marriage portions ; and for his fifth daughter, Mary, a portion was also provided on her marriage, then in contemplation. To his daughters, Jane and Dora, he leaves 3,5001. each ; and has appointed his sons Edward and William the residuary legatees. Legacies are left to each of his servants. This able and distinguished equity lawyer, after practising with pre-eminent success at the Irish bar for nearly half a century, attained one of the highest honours of his profession, being appointed Lard Chief Justice of her Majesty's Court of Queen's Bench in Ireland; which dignified office he held. du• ring that memorable period of the state trials when Mr. O'Connell was arraigned. Over this court his Lordship presided but a short time; his health fail ing him, he retired into private life. aud, after a lengthened illness, he died at his residence, Fitz william-square, Dublin, on the 6th of September last. By his death a pension of 3,0001. per annum reverts to the Crown. His elder brother is one of the Barons of the Court of Exchequer in Ireland. THE DISCOVERY OF COAL AT VANCOUVER'S ISLAND. In our paper of Thursday last, under the head of " Portsmouth Naval Intelligence," it was stated by , our correspondent that an excellent specimen of coal had been brought home by her Majesty's ship Cor morant, from Vancouver's Island, which was consi. dered by competent judges to be good and service able coal, equal to any in the British mines, and which the Cormorant had been enabled readily to procure in large quantities at the rate of 4s. per ton, whilst at Valparaiso the price of British coal was as high as 161. per ton. The following additional particulars respecting the pedtion of these coal treasures may not be uninteresting to our readers. On the north and east side of Vancouver's Island, a recently discovered river debouches into Johnstone's Straits, near the mouth of which large seams of coal crop out on the surface of the soil. At this point the trading steamer of the Hudson's Bay Com pany navigating the Straits of Juan de Fuca obtains ready and plentiful supplies, which is put on board by the Indians at a mere nominal price. Mr. Dunn, who was a trader and interpreter in the Hudson's Bay Company's steamer Beaver, gives an interesting ac count of the discovery of this coal. He states—" The cause of the discovery (of the coal.) was as curious as the discovery itself was important. Some of the natives at Fort APLoughlin having, on coming to the fort to traffic, observed coal burning in the furnace of the blacksmith, in their natural spirit of curiosity, made several inquiries about it, they were told that it was the best kind of fuel, and that it was brought over the great salt lake six months' journey. They looked surprised, and, in spite of their habitual gravity, laughed and capered about. The servants at the fort were surprised at their unusual antics, and inquired the cause. The Indians explained, saying that they had changed in a great measure their opinion of the white men, whom they thought en dowed by -the Great Spirit with the power of effecting great and useful objects, as it was evident they were not then influenced by His wisdom in bringing fuel such a vast distance, and at so much cost. They then pointed out where it could be found, of the richest quality, close to the surface, rising in hillocks, and requiring very little labour to dig it out. This intelligence having been reported at Port Van couver, we received instructions to make the necessary inquiries and exploration. Mr. Finlaison and part of the crew went on shore, and after some inquiries and a small distribution of rewards, found from the na tives that the original account given at Fort M'Loughlin was true. The coal turned out to be of excellent quality, running in extensive fields, and even in clumpy mounds, and most easily worked, all along that part of the country. The natives were aexions that we should employ them to work the co al. To this we consented, and agreed to give them a certain sum for each large box. The natives being so numerous and labour so cheap, for us to attempt to work the coal would have been madness." It is earnestly to be hoped that this rich and valu• able deposit may ere long be brought within the the reach of the fast increasing number of our steamers sin the west coast of America and the Pau i tit: Lord and Lady Juhn Russell arrived in town yea. terday from Windsor Castle. W ARNE it. We have been solicited to insert the following cor respondence, which will be found to be explanatory of the circumstances under whiCh Captain Warner has been deprived of the command of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's steam-ship Haddington:— Sir,—l request you will commit to the public a correspondence between Lord Torrington (through the medium of his secretary, Doctor Bernard), and myself, which I enclose. I must also beg of you to insert the following conversation which took place between Lord Torrington and myself, the morning after the scone of his Lordship's leaving the quarter deck took place. I saw him in his cabin, and expressed my regret that he should have so misconceived my conduct on the previous evening, as to suppose my intention had been either to annoy him or exercise a little brief. authority. His Lordship demanded of me whether I had a right to prevent his servants from walking the quarter-deck at any hour P What lady had complained of his ser van t s walking arm and arm on the quarter-deck? • saying " -that his servants were as good a s any lady on board, and it was nothing but th e ir v ulgarity that occa sioned their objection." My reply was, "that it was my duty to prevent annoyance to every person on board, and that if he considered bis servants as good as any of the lady passengers, why did he not likewise expect them to dine at the saloon table, or make them first-class passengers, as then I could have no power over their walking on the quarter-deck or dining at the table." These remarks of Lord Torrington's showed me how necessary it was for me to protect, as long as I %Ad, those forms in societX acknowledged, when a man in Lord Torringtoes ptisition set ffie example of defying them. I left his Lordship's cabin fully determined to set to the best of my abilities for the welfare of the .party, and for so doing I have been deprived of the command of the Haddington, with what reason let those who know the case decide. As to the good effects it will have in producing order and comfort in ships carrying large and motley parties remains to be proved. Point de Galle, I remain, yours obediently, October, 18, 1847- R. E. WARNER. TO CAPTAIN WARNER, COMMANDING THE SHIP BADDINGTON. Steam-ship Haddington, May 21st, 1847. Sir,—Being on the point of communicating with the Board of Directors in London of the P. and 0. S. N. Company, by the direction of his Excellency Viscount Torrington, I have to request that you will be so good as to furnish me, in writing, with the dis tinct terms of the order by which you excluded the female attendants of Lady Torrington from the quarterdeck of this vessel. As I shall have have occasion to address the di rectors at some length upon this subjct and others, I shall furnish you with a copy of my communication in time for you to transmit any remarks you may have to offer thereon to the board of directors by the same mail which will convey the original from Ceylon. A similar copy will likewise be transmitted to the Company's agent at Calcutta. I have the honour to be, sir, your very obedient servant, W. B. BERNARD, Private Secy. to his Excellency. TO 'WM. BERNARD, ESQ., PRIVATE SECRETARY TO MIS EXCELLENCY VISCOUNT TORRINGTON, GOVERNOR Of CEYLON. S. S. Haddington, May 21st, 1847. Sir,—ln reply to your inquiries as to my ri g ht of sending Lady . Torrington's servants off the quarter deck, I must deny hiving done so in toto. Her Ladyship's servants always have, and do still, resort to the quarter-deck, and I never objected to their so doing. What I did object to was, their walking the quarter-deck during the hours from six to nine in the evening, when the lady passengers wire on the deck, and at no other time • hare I placed a veto on - their walking on the quarter-deck. They have on several occasions walked arm and arm together on that side of the quarter-deck that the ladies were on, when the other side was comparatively free. This Ido consider a cause of grievance to the lady passengers, and consequently after repeated acts of the kind, having sent messages to them by the purser's clerk to tell them it was contrary to the regu lation of the ship, &c., Mr. Worcester himself having spoken to them on another occasion, I, upon the 18th instant, was walking the quarter-deck in company with a lady and gentleman, when they commenced walk ing arm and arm. I then spoke to them myself, and requested them to be seated, at the same time stating they could walk the quarter-deck at any other hours than from six to nine in the evening, saying at the time I would speak to Lord Torrington in the morn ing ; upon which the French lady's maid made her complaint to Lord Torrington, who immediately took his family off the quarter-deck, looking upon the case as one of personal affront, which, of course, was quite foreign to my intentions ; and a recent expla nation with Lord Torrington not having the effect of convincing him of my acting without any personal feeling or want of courtesy, I of course could make no further advances,' as I consider I have a duty to perform to a large party in the ship. I acted in the capacity of a man wishi ng to do what was fair to a community in which there are many ladies, without placing them in the disagr eea bl e position f making complaints.--I have the honour to . remain, yours obediently, R. E. WARNER. Commanding ship Haddington. TO CAPTAIN WARNER, S.C. Haddington, May 21. Sir, --I have perused your letter of this maniug in reply to my own, and I have communicated; its con tents to his Excellency Viscount TorritiOn. lan: directed to observe, that the inquiry conveyed to you i n m y letter had no reference whatever . to,the question of right or no right, as in this instance 'you thought proper to do. It was a simple question, to which I have still to request you to be good enough to give me a simple answer. Whatever complaints you may at any time have had to make with respect to Lord Torrington's ser vants, I have to remind you that no complaint has ever been addressed by you or by your orders to his Lordship, who was tha proper person to take care that the attendants of Lady Torrington and Miss By ng did not become troublesome to any one on board. But his Lordship has not been apprised that any complaint of any description has been made to you (and certainly not to himself) by any one of the passengers respecting them. I am therefore directed to request you to state whether any and what complaint, if any, has been made, and to make known to me, for his Lordship's information, the name of the passengers making it, as it must'be his Lordship's wish that any well founded complaint should not pass unnoticed. With regard to the French attendant, she was specially engaged to tak e c h arge of Miss Byng at all times, as the is not old enough to be left by herself. Sbe accompanies her snore in the light of nursery governess than a servant, and cannot be separatcd from her. The English attendant has been for many years Lady Torrington's housekeep er . I am not authorised to discuss with you any other question you have touched upon i n your letter, but I am distinctly to intimate to you th at the tone of your recent interview totally failed to convince his Lord. ship that you had not been " wanting in courtesy" to himself and his family, or to make amends for that want of courtesy. His Excellency distinctly apprised you that until female attend ants h ad full access Lady Torrington's to her upon the q uarter-deck, and liberty of moving respectfully but fairly upon the only cool and proper part of the deck for respectable females to resort to, he should not permit either Lady Torrington or his daughter to appenr upon the quarter-deck themselves. I have only now to repeat the two requests already named in this letter, and I have further t o a pp r i se y ou that your letter of thi s morning will be sent home to the directors, with other documents, and th a t hi s Ex cellency is far from satisfied with the tone and spirit of your communication to me.—l ha ve th e h onour to be, Sir, your obedient ser vant, W. D. BERNARD, Private Secretary, &c. &e. TO W. BERNARD N sg., PRIVATE SECRETARY, ETC. May 21st, 1847. S. S. Iladdington, Sir,—ln reply to your demand whether or no I have a right to prevent sec ond-cl ass passengers fr o m coming on the quarter-deck, my reply is that / hare. In reply to the charge of preventing Lady Torring ton's female servants to approach her at all times, God forbid that I should be so devoid of common feeling to well enou g h, M r. B ernard, any lady; and you know that such a course was not taken by tile, or ever will be, on any occasion. Lady Torrington's servants have sat where they liked at all times, and walked at all times when they liked, except at the hours from six to nine in the evening, when I wish to keep the quarter-deck free for the ladies and first class passengers, and it is my intention so to do. answei to your inquiry whether An y l a di es hart eon;plainoa, 1. 6, 7 not think it nece . , , :',ary to anrver such a question. Lord Torrington can use his own judgment in opposing those rules which are intended I beg to say I shall continue to perform my duty to the het of my abilities. I have the honour to be, yours obediently, R. E. \VARNER, Commanding S. S. Haddington. TO CAPTAIN WARNER, ETC. May 28, S. S. Haddington. Sir,—l am directed by Viscount Torrington to ap prise you that his Excellency does not perceive any necessity for your being furnished with a copy of the letter which I have been directed to address to the 13..ard of Directors in London. I have therefore only to inform you that a succinct statement of what has passed will be forwarded by next mail to London by his Excellency's orders, and it will therefore rest with yourself to make any state ment you please on your part which may appear to you to be called for.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your very obedient servant, WM. D. BERNARD, Private Secretary, &c., &c. THE KAFIR WAR. The following is An extract from a letter by an (,fficer of the Royal Artillery engaged in the Kafir war : " Fort Hare, Eastern Frontier, Nov. 18, 1847. " I received your letter of the filst of July, which afforded me the greatest pleasure, as it reminds me that there is civilization somewhere, which perhaps I might otherwise forget, seeing nothing here but things the most savage. " Immediately Sandilli gave himself up proceedings were taken to reduce Pato, the other rebellious Kafir chief, whose dominions are across the Kei River. A patrol was ordered, consisting of the Cape Mounted Rifles, two companies of the 91st, and a demi battery of artillery. Hill and myself were again on the move with the demi-battery, and left this on the Ist of November to join Colonet Somerset's camp on the Deke flats, about twenty-five miles from here. We left there on the 3d of November, it was raining vs usual. I was riding one horse; and had another with my patrol tent, some grub, brandy, &c. On the morning of the sth of November we came to the banks of the far-famed Kei. No enemy had yet made his appearance, but we now saw on the rocks on the other side about 2,000 Kafirs and the hills covered with cattle. The Kei, from the heavy rains, had become a torrent, as is always the case here ; so fast do the rivers rise that I have walked dry-footed over one in the morning, and at night, without there being any rain where I was, but from the rain in the mountains, it has become impass able even for horses. " Here we were, then, with the enemy in front, taking long shots at us ; lots of cattle to tempt a cross ing, but the river impassable. After finding a place we could ford, Colonel Somerset ordered the Cape Mounted Rifles to cross ; Hill to unlimber, and fire from the bank ; I, with the drivers of the guns to disen gage their horses, to cross with the Rifles, and act as Light Dragoons. I can tell you there are more pleasant things than crossing a river running at a good pace on horseback. All the time your horse is not out of his depth he is stumbling about over great stones or sinking in the mud, and, when swimming, the motion, to gether with the water about your legs and underneath You, produces a giddiness very similar to sea-sickness. The whole of my party got across safe ; one man had his sword- belt cut in two by a ball. The Rifles were not so successful ; one man was knocked off his horse, another, his horse becoming unmanageable, was car ried down the stream, and getting ashore some 200 yards below us, had his throat cut very dexterously by the Kafirs, who immediately appropriated his horse, &c. The Kafirs retired into the bush as we advanced. " I now saw my man, who was mounted on a troop horse, and leading my pack horse, struggling in the stream, not being able to manage the two. The Kafirs commenced.popping at him ; to save himself, there fore, he had to let go my horse, and I had the plea sure of seeing him, my tent, and all the little comforts for the patrol, carried down the river ; the only part the Katirs would care about were the brandy and g rub. " The liafirs commenced very pluckily' at first, calling out they ►ere all ready, and for us to come on, but we soon sent them running, killing 14 of them. Two men of the Cape Mounted Rifles were killed, and one of my men had an assagai through his arm. We then made good use of our time, and captured about 2,000 head of cattle. We encamped, at least those who had tents, on the banks of the river. "Next morning three of Pato's councillors came in to talk of peace. It is a very fine thing to hear these fellows talk ; they will go on for hours, never being in want of a word. They commence in a very low tone, and gradually getting excited talk louder and louder, suiting their actions to their words. In this interview Numba, one of their chiefs, got into a fix by a question Colonel Somerset put to him, and was hesitating what to say, when Kona, one of the minor chiefs, got up and spoke to give Namba time to consider. Colonel. Somerset said, Who is that speaking ?' Upon being told, he said, Tell Kona I consider him. a minor chief, and to hold his tongue.' The answer of Kona was—' Tell the great captain it is not Kona that is speaking, but the heart of Pato.' These fel lows are a complete set of lawyers, and one young chief I think was the handsomest man I ever saw. When you get acccustomed to it I think the dress becomes them, the blanket hanging round the shoulders, their necklaces of tigers' and lions' teeth, and ivory rings round their arms. " Suspecting that Flarta, one of the chiefs who came in, had my horse, &c., I got the interpreter to tell him that tie great captain would listen to him more favourably if he gave up my horse and pack saddle. lie looked at me in a very condescending manner, and said, What does the man want ? Tell him I came here to talk of peace and war, and not of old saddles and horses.' We came to no terms however. " We encamped on the banks of the Kei, and lived the usual rough life for a week, at the end of which time not a Kafir nor head of cattle was to be seen; and now comes the most disagreeable part of my story. " Not having seen anything of the Kafirs for a week, we had suspected they had retired up the country, and taken all the cattle, &c. But not a bit of it, they were close to us all the time. On the night of the 14th a sentry placed over the horses at grass was murdered, and seven horses stolen, my only remaining one amongst the number, all of them being officers' horses. We were on the spoor, or track, of them the next day, but after five hours' tracking we lost it in the high grass. ' Coming back hot as furnaces and smothered with sand, the 73d fellows proposed a bathe in the Kei, and this is the most marvellous escape I ever had. The fellows had been laughing about people not being able to swim, so I made an ex cuse fur not going with them to the Kei, it being out of my depth. Those who went were Captain Baker, Lieut. Faunt, Ensign Burnop, and Dr. Campbell, of the 73d, and Dr. Loch, of the 7th Dragoon Guards. I went to bathe in a little stream close to our camp, and when I came back to tile camp, after talking to the officers a short time, we thought it time the other officers should have returned. We went down to see whether any accident had happened, and as a precaution took a guard of the Cape Corps. On proceeding to the banks of the Kei, we found the whole of them with their throats cut and mutilated in the most dreadful manner. You may imagine our horror at finding five men who had been living with us day and night, and whom I had not left two hours, thus suddenly pounced upon by these infernal rascals and brutally killed. The Kei was not three-quarters of a mile from our camp, but some bush permitted the approach of the Kafirs with out being seen. If I had been a swimmer I should certainly have been one of the number, although I should not at the time hare cared much about it, being so disgusted at the loss of both my horses,,&c.; but such is the fortune of war. Baker and I aunt were two excellent fellows, and as good-natured and obliging as any men I ever met. " Several patrols have been sent into Pato's and Creilli's country, of the dangers of which I have not partaken, being hers du combat for want of horses. I remember when in England hearing people talk about the Kafirs being like a lot of sheep, and as easily killed; I wish seine of those talkers were here, and had to deal with them a few months. To-day it is wretched here. When I arrived yesterday the wind blowing as if out of a furnace, the sand in dense masses, and the heat 105 deg. in the shade ; the sand and the heat together are intolerable." LINCOLN'S INN, JAN. 28,—The following gentle men were this day called to the degree of barristers-at law by the Honourable Society cif Lincoln's-inn, viz.:— Robert thaftou Rosseter, Esq. ; Robert Malcolm Kerr, ; Cha;Ps Hansard Keene, Esq. ; Francis Nonue ; John Graham]. Esq. ; Henry Robert Vaughan Johnson, Esq. ; F re d er i c W e y inout n Gibbs, Esq. ; Emihus Watson Taylor, Esq. ; and the Honourable Win. Cecil Spring Rice. ps ' wee satisfied with the successful result of his labours as applied to this and other iron vessels, and ordered him to apply his discovery to the caissons and other iron receptacles connected with the dockyard. From the Undine their Lordship; proceeded on board the Ajax steam- block ship, fitting in the adjoining dock for service, thence to the Rocket iron tug, which has also exhibited the success of Mr. Hay's application, which was done last June, between wind and water; thence on board. the newly-completed 50-gun frigate Leander, built on the design of Mr. Blake, late master shipwright of this establishment. Here their Lordships remained some length of time, makiag a most careful inspec tion, and asking numerous questions of Mr. Fin chain, which lead us to hope that she will not be thrust into the ordinary to rot neglected. The skeleton of the Princess Royal, 90, formerly in frame on the design of Sir William Symonds, but pulled to pieces, and now rebuilding on the recommendation of plans furnished by the Committee of Reference on Shipbuilding, at an officially estimated cost of 8,0001. for the alteration (but which, it is said, will cost at least 20,0001. snore), was next inspected. Next the Plumper screw-brig, building on the design of Mr. , Fincham, and being armed on the plan of Lieutenant Julius Roberts, R.M.A., - was visited, with the expe ditious building of which their Lordships expressed both surprise and admiration, as she has been con structed since the last official visit of their Lordships. The Arrogant screw-frigate, of 46 guns, and three hundred horse (auxiliary) power, by Fincham, was also boarded. The Board then made a perambulation of the new docks and slips, and being joined by Colonel Irvine, C.B , the director of engineering and architectural works, and Captain James, R.E., director of works in this dockyard, proceeded to a particular inspection of the new steam basin, docks, and factories. On their arrival at the entrance of these works, Mr. P. Rat, the contractor, specially attended, and had the honour of receiving their Lordships. Lord Auck land soon perceived the very great progress which had been made since his last visit, and was pleased to express to Mr. Rolt the great satisfaction he felt. His Lordship proceeded cross the pier-head and l over the north entrance to the west factory, in pass ing through which magnificent building his Lordship expressed much pleasure, and thence examining the Camber double dock, by which striking feature of the works his Lordship's attention was particularly arrested. From this the Noble Earl and his colleagues passed en until they got an entire view of the steam basin, with the factory in front running a length of 700 feet. At this point his Lordship appeared par ticularly struck with the imposing appearance of the whole. On leaving this part of the works the Noble Earl gave a most ready and hearty assent to the Chief Secretary's remark that " it is the most business- like affair he had ever seen." At Mr. Rolt's particular request the First Lord and his colleagues proceeded to view the two north inlets and coffer-dam for the extension sea-wall up the lake to the battery. Not withstanding the extremely cold and snowy weather, their Lordships' interest in the works was so great that they pursued their inquiries without any regard for their personal comfort. On the party quitting the works, Mr. Rolt assured their Lordships he should be quite ready to open the basin whenever it pleased them to direct him to do so. The stupendous work, therefore, is complete. It would be well if every member of the Legislature, ere he took his seat at the re-opening of Parliament, were to visit .this great national undertaking, so as to make himself practically cognizant not only of its immense importance as a grand receptacle for our war steamers, but also as to the judicious expenditure of the money he votes from the country's resources. These steam adjuncts to our chief ports form the most useful and indispensable ap pliances to "the national defence." The Lords of the Admiralty then inspected the Fairy Royal yacht in dock, the new battalion ar moury, the Prince Regent, 90, Captain Martin, fitting alongside the jetty, and other important objects, with all of which they appeared perfectly satisfied, and left the yard a little before 4 o'clock, Lord Auckland and Mr. Ward for Alverstcke, to dine with the Hon. Mr. Bingham Baring, and the other members for the George hotel, to an early dinner, after which they left for town by the 5 30 train of the South-Western Railway. The Powerful, 84, and the Illustrious, 72, the or dinary and depot ships for this port will not be com missioned until the Ist of February, in order that no trouble may be occasioned by this month being par tially taken into the work, which would derange the hooks, &c. It is rumoured that the Prince Regent " model ship" is to be paid off, as men do not come forward speedily enough for her to hold out any hope of her being ready by the time her services are likely to be wanted. Out of the whole of the Albion's crew we are informed not one man would volunteeer for the Prince Regent. The Neptune, 120, was unmasted to-day, her lower masts being intended for the Powerful, 84, as being the oldest masts among the advanced ships. The Seaflower cutter, Lieut. Henry Warren, ar rived from Jersey to-day for supplies. The Meander, 44, Captain the Hon. H. Keppel, was paid advance to-day. In Harbour—The Victory, the Excellent, the Vic toria and Albert, the Blenheim, the Prince Regent, and the Seafiower cutter; the Firefly, the Fire Queen, and the Echo steamers. In Dock—The Ajax, the Leander, the Sappho, the Orestes, the Fairy, and the Undine. In the Basin—The Britannia, the Retribution, the Kite, the Swallow, and the Rocket. At Spithead—The Meander and the Stromboli. Wind E.N.E., fresh breezes and thick weather, with continuous snow. Five P.m. The Nautilus is ordered to the entrance of the Channel, for the assistance of homeward-bound ships. NATAL APPOINTMENTS, JAN. 28. To the Blenheim—Horatio I'. Austen, C. 8., Cap tain ; James A.

WooLwlcll, JAN. 28.—The Triton steam - vessel has arrived at Woolwich from Portsmouth, and will be fitted at this port with the engines and boilers of the Rifleman steam-vessel. The Niger steam-vessel, fitting with a screw pro peller, is in the west dock, and the workmen are em ployed from an early hour in the morning until seven o'clock in the evening upon her to get her ready for service; she is to be completed in about six weeks. She is expected, on being commissioned, to proceed to Portsmouth, as one of the armed steamers to he stationed at that port. The Lightning steam-vessel, Master-Commander Petley, was tried down the river yesterday, after being repaired, and found to be in excellent order. The hired barque Elisabeth and Hannah dropped down the river yesterday from Deptford to moorings off the Royal Arsenal, and will take on board female convicts for conveyance to Hobart Town. Captain Dawes, Lieutenants Rider and Gray, 3 sergeants, 3 corporals, 2 drummers, and SO privates of the Woolwich division, joined at head-quarters here yesterday, from serving in the Albion, recently paid off at Portsmouth after four years' service on the Lisbon station. The men are to be paid arrears to-day at the Pay-oirice in the Woolwich dockyard, and the marines of the Hecla steam-vessel will be paid at the same time. CHATHAM, JAN. 28.—The Triton steam-vessel left this port on Thursday afternoon, the 27th, for Wool wich, to have seine experiments tried on her machi nery-. She was put out of dock on the 223, and the Banshee was taken in the same day. She is to be ready for sea next month. The Blossom hospital-ship, at Standgate Creek, being unfit for further service, was brought up to Chatham on the 24th instant. It is yet uncertain whether this vessel will be broken up or sold. The Hercules store-ship, Master and Commander Fulton, will go out of dock next week. She has taken on board during the week 500 tons of coals, and ts now receiving large quantities of stores for convey ance to the East Indies. The Vivid steam packet will be launched from this yard on the 7th of next month. PRICE and PURIFICAT :lON of GAS:'3I. Yesterday a special meeting of the C,.linniissionera of Sewera for the city of London took pt:ace at the Guildhall, upon the references to inquire Into th e price of gas generally, and also for the purpwe of receiving important information from Mr. Leslie, one of the members of the Metropolitan Sanitary Com mission, who had consented to attend the board in order to communicate to them the nature of the improvements which were taking place under his superintendence in several of the departments of the 7 . Government. Deputy Peacock in the chair. '`r f _ fi , In answer to a question from Mr. LESLIE, Mr. DAw, the chief clerk to the Commissioners, said the City consumption of gas in the public lamps cost between 11,0001.. and 12,0001. a year, and that the gas supplied to the prisons of Newgate, Giltspur street, Whitecross-street, and Bridewell, was not included in that charge, the expenditure of the article in these places being defrayed by the City under the head of pav ing a a anything th nd i ng li t g o h d ti o ng w i ne tht i h t e heL p ld the supply of Com missionersgas to any buildings whatever. There were 2,700 lamps ji B ihted with gas under the authority of the Commis 1-4EILIS sairl — the effe c t of'Se finproveznimt which he re commended would be, to increase,Tnar; essential the illumination, and t o ren d er th e gas in n o x manner; io heath, by taking out all its impuri ties. The first public exiTriment made by him as t o ust o heft the illumination, had been ethSted under the authority of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, in the Queen's-walk, in the Green-park, where he had fixed his burners to IS of the lamps, which were 90 feet apart, and consumed 4f feet per lamp p er hour. The contrast between these lamps and t he others lighted upon the usual plan, was most palp able. It was only necessary for the Commissioners to trust to their own eyes. The next experiment was made b y him at the Post-office, perhaps the largest affair of the kind in the world. His burners were as yet but partially in operation in that establishment, but they would completely supersede the old system is a very short time. .Mr. LAWRENCE asked whether the gas consumed in the Post-office was purified, and what might be the sanitary effect of the purification ? Mr. LESLIE said that nearly all the offices in the establishment were lighted by his apparatus for purifying as well as illunjnating, and, as to sanitary results, there was not the The saving to be accomplished by thethem, as the Commissioners cold easily ascerta in. htest smell in any of adoption of his plan would amount, per week, to at least .54,0" feet,„, and yet he found that throughout the vario.." partments there was too much gas. The illutnirt: l°a was powerful, and there was no smell—two effects, co. which many persons who were capable of seeing and smelling could adequately judge. Mr. LAWRENCE—You consider that we could, by your process, light the streets of the City at 24 per cent. less charge than we now pay ? Mr. LESLIE said, considerably more; and at the` close of the meeting he stated that the saving wouldl be more likely to be 50 per cent. than 25 per cent. A street lamp should burn 3,480 feet per annum, And. he would produce as good a light, by the application of his burners to the public lamps, as those at present exhibited, at less than three-fourths of the quantity of gas. For the purification of the gas—which purifica tion would, there could not exist a doubt, be required universally in a short time—he should require to fix the apparatus in the company's premises ; but as re garded the combustion, his burners alone would be calculated to effect the necessary improvement in the quality. In answer to questions from Mr. Morrison and other members of the board, Mr. LESLIE gave a scientific description of his mode of accurately testing the exact amount of light in which his process differed from that to which we have been long accustomed. For his burners his charge was seven shilling each, the sum paid by the Government, the parish of St. James's, and in fact by all parties who had determined to adopt his process, after having seen the results of the experiments which had been made. Mr. LAWRENCE asked what Mr. Leslie thought the Commissioners of Sewers ought to be able, on an average, to make and supply gas for to the public, if they made it themselves ? Mr. LESLIE answered—Three shillings for every 1,000 cubic feet, and that charge would include every cost of plant, mains, Sze. The materiels he used in the process of purification absorbed all tie . deleterious and offensive parts of the gas. A MEMBER OF TBE BOARD—WouId the deposit be valuable after the purification takes place ? Mr. LESLlE—Certainly, to a considerable amount. Mr. HARRISON—Cnn you, without purifying, lower the price of illuminating Mr. LESLIE—Yes. But purification must be adopted. The benefits of purification are so great that it is quite impossii3le to argue upon the continu ance of the impure state of the article in any case. If you have 2,700 public lamps in the City, that number would demand a supply of 13,500 feet per hour for the whole. Your gasometers, two of which you should have, and that number would be sufficient for you, should have in each of them six hours' stock of gas. A space of forty feet diameter would be suffi cient to build them in. The purification would render the glasses much less liable to damage. In fact, by and-by purification will be the indispensable attendant of illumination by gas. The CHAIRMAN—Are the two companies, the Chartered Gas and the City Gas Companies, who supply us aware of these facts which you have stated to us ? Dlr. LESLIE—Yes, as well as I am. LAWEENCE—Are they aware of these effects which you have stated to us ? ' Mr. LESLlE—Certainly. b befor e will t t long.l r Mr. LAWREN C E Which of them supplies the Post office ? I The whole interior of the building will be lighted in the course of next week, according to the improved process of illumination and purification The gas lighting of the Post-office used to cost from . makeLE LESL IE— The themselves The City ty at Gas that establishment Com pa ny ; 3,000/. to 4,0001. a year, and I have undertaken to save them a thousand a year at least. The CHAIRMAN and Board returned thanks to Mr. Leslie, and. the Commissioners adjourned. . .._ Ali EAST DEATH FOR PORKRES.—Judging from the noise they make, pigs have no particular pellebint lor the butcher's knife, and the loudness of their protest. is a nuisance to all concerned and to all the neighbour hood. It appears that henceforth the swinish multitude may be enabled to die with more dignity and decorum, and this by means of the new anzesthetic agent, chloro form. The Ragas Guardian thuS decribes the first instance on record of a pig's dying, morspatriums without making any fuss about it:—" Christmas is a fatal period for pigs, and right glad no doubt would the majority of the ' grunt creation' be to quit existence upon more agreeable terms.
