BY SAMUEL LAWERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON. Doctor of Medicine. Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order that It may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source is every instance disclosed, in how many could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when ased in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused .tho prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the nature and conseauence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attent ion and study, for what subj ect can be of more importance than the preservation ef the health and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies of adva nced age, while suffering from their Invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread su frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent kis seeking :or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by his posse!sion of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

DEATH OF A MISER AT TOT TENHAM. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Szn,—An article entitled as above has appeared in Ths Sun of yesterday, which is much calculated to offend the relations of the Rev. David Thomas Powell, who lately died at Tottenham. Mr. Powell was a celebrated antiquarian, sad of re tired habits. He has given 2001. a-piece to his executors, and more considerable legacies to two dependants ; the bulk of his property is certainly bequeathed to the Lon don Hospital, but I am not informed of any attempt or desire of Sir Henry Martin to contest the will. The executors have taken proper measures to protect the property and prove their own disinterestedness, but there is nothing to justify the other parts of the para graph alluded to. The executors hope, therefore, by the publication of this letter, you will contradict the offensive parts of the article complained of. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, EDWARD STARLING, Solicitor for the executors, 7, Sackville-street. June 24, 1848. COMPLIMENTARY BENEFIT TO MR.

Siddons, about to be placed TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION. SIR,—On Wednesday, 21st June, the writ for Cheltenham was directed to be issued, by 59 against 47. And on Thursday the same was done for Hor sham, by 54 against 50. It must be left for the movement, or for some movement; the tEthiop will never wash himself white. On Thursday night the debate on the motion for going into Committee on the; Sugar Duties was re sumed, and again adjourned. The evil of long speeches is increasing in the present Parliament; their effect being precisely that of putting a glass of wine into a pailful of water, what might have been good under one form being smothered in the other. The further debate on Mr. flume's motion was adjourned till the 30th. On Friday the writ for Derby was refused by 112 against 97, which is argument of yielding on the next attack. The reasoning among the Liberals ap peared to be, that as wrong had been done in issuing writs to Horsham and to Cheltenham, it would be "great injustice" not to do the same to Derby. The debate on going into Committee on the Sugar Duties was resumed, and at two in the morning again adjourned. The conclusion was stormy, and answer ing fully to the proverbial description of an ill wind. As the report of Parliamentary proceedings hap pens to run short, I take the opportunity of making some remarks on the French Project of Constitution, as taken from the Morning Post of June 22. Englishmen are beset with considerable misappre hensions on the subject of French performances in the serious line. A vague idea that the French are the gayer nation, has prompted national vanity to the conclusion that they must be less effective in that way than their more sombre neighbours. Nothing can be farther from being borne out by fact. In a particular description of what may be denominated organization, the French have shown themselves de cidedly the foremost. As instances, they had a most complete military Ordonnance, or what in English would be called " Rules and Regulations," when those of England were talking about " a partial part,' with corresponding tokens of inferior talent through out. The service of their hospitals was brought to a state of exactitude so far as rules could go, which had the air of chronicling beforehand all the possible accidents of disease. In the science of language they displayed the same power, and a French Arabic grammar was a thing voluminously concise, if the term may be applied to the teaching in two large volumes what others did not teach at all in one. But the great display of this faculty was in the Code Napoleon ; by virtue of which a Frenchman holds in his hand for two francs in one volume duo decimo, with the eight leading divisions neatly distin guished by the colours of the leaves, the concentration of what an Englishman must look for in the hundred folios of the Statutes at Large, too happy if through the spectacles of his lawyer he can come at anything which is not as likely to be wrong as right. Napoleon was wont to say, he should go to posterity with the Ccode in is hand; and a striking comment on the truth of the prophecy, is that in the political concus sions which have separated the Rhenish provinces from France, the one thing the Holy Allies could never accomplish, was to make them part with the Code Napoleon. Much of the same power is displayed in the present " Project." It is clear the French lawyers have not all come over with Louis Philippe. The commence ment must be satisfactory to those who took umbrage at the tone of some of the proceedings of the former revolution. PROJECT OF CONSTITUTION. IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD, AND IN THE NAME OP THE FRENCH PEOPLE, THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY PROCLAIMS AND DECREES AS FOLLOWS : DECLARATION OF DUTIES AND RIGHTS. Article 1. "The duties of man in society are summed up in respect for the Constitution, obedience to the laws, defending the country, the accomplish ment of the duties of the domestic relations, and the brotherly practice of the rule, not to do to others what you would not they should do to you, and what you wish that men should do for you, to do the same for them." Art. 2. "The Constitution guarantees to all the citizens, liberty, equality, security, instruction, labour, property, assistance." That is to say, it undertakes to do its best towards giving them. It must be an unreasonable grumbler that expects man or constitu tion to do more. Art. 3. "Liberty consists in the right of going and coming, of assembling peaceably and without wea pons, of associating, of petitioning, of following every man his own form of worship, of making public his thoughts and opinions through the press or otherwise. The exercise of these rights hes no limits but the rights and liberty of other people, or the public safety." It is not easy to be better. There is an evident allusion to the French market. woman, who, sitting at her stall, was overheard saying, " My daughter, the art of life is in doing all the good you can for yourself, without doing harm to anybody else." The French market women are further advanced than in Covent-garden. Art. 4. " Equality consists in the exclusion of every title and privilege of birth, class, or caste, in the admissibility of every man to all public employ ments, without other ground of preference than virtue and talent, and in the equitable participation of all the members in the burthens and advantages of society." Bating what relates to the exclusion of titles and privileges of birth, which may be to some extent local or fitted to the actual circumstances of France, the definition accords with what all sensible people view as the meaning of the term ; and parts of it will have a strong tendency to tell upon the Jew Bill, and the motion of the Member for Montrose. Slow as they may be, the people of England will never consent to be more than a certain distance in the rear. Art. 5. " Security consists in protection for the person, family, dwelling, rights, and goods, of every member of the society." And a decent notion of security a Frenchman has. Art 0. " The right to instruction, is that which all the citizens have, to receive gratuitously from the State the teaching proper to devvlope the physical, moral, and intellectual faculties of each." There is something indefinite about this; a sort of 0 wenism. If meant as a declaration that education ought to be promoted by the State, it will be opposed by none. But how far, and by what rule ? Is everybody to be educated gratuitously, to the extent everybody may desire ? If so, the colleges will be overwhelmed with peasants desiring to be parish priest 4, and con scripts anxious to be brought up to be field-marshals. There must clearly in practice be a modifying power somewhere. But if so, who is to decide and how, on the physical, moral, and intellectual faculties of Francois and Jean, and tell the Government how much and what instruction he ought to receive gratuitously from the State ? There is no use in quarrelling with a thing for saying too much ; but there is a portion of Owenite or Saint•Sinionian verbiage here, which in practice must come down. Art. 7. " The right to labour is that which every man has to live by working [if he can]. It is the duty of the society, by the exertion of the productive and general means at its disposal, arid which will be or ganized.at an ulterior period, to furnish labour to the able•bodied men who cannot otherwise procure it." This is interesting as bearing on a question of the day ; and it is amusing to watch how the matter dwindles in the future handling, leaving posterity to infer that the opinions of Louis Blanc were strong enough to obtain admission in the outset of a Consti tution, but not strong enough to hold their ground. The interpolation between brackets above, touches the weak point in the case. If the Constitution had guaranteed the right of the citizen to health, it would have been true of as much as he could get, or as the State could give him; but would not have kept out the cholera, if the cholera is what State regula tions have only to a limited extent the power to affect. The promise also that the means are to be or ganized, at an ulterior period, is amusingly in the manner of the schools before alluded to. They make a list of things the power of man is utterly incompe tent to compass, and engage they shall all be settled by the secretary against a future meeting. Art. 8. " Property consists in a man's right of enjoying and disposing of his goods, his income, and the fruits of his labour, intelligence, and industry." Which will all be much the safer when the spirit of some of the preceding articles has mellowed down. Art. 9. " The right of assistance, is that which is possessed by deserted children, the unable, and the aged, to receive from the State means for existence." A poor•law. The next portion is headed CONSTITUTION. CHAPTER I.—OF THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE PEOPLE. Art. 10. " France is a democratic Republic, ose and indivisible." It would appear therefore, there may be Republics which are not democratic. In fact the term Republic in itself signifies little more than society for public purposes. And by the same rule there may be things not calling themselves Republics, which may be democratic or governed by popular power. A noticeable fact. The phrase " one and indivisible" is purely of local application; being handed down from the time when there was a supposed danger in France, of splitting into as many republics as there were pro vinces. It may rank therefore as an innocent anti quarianisin, like our " Defender (litho Faiths". Art. 11. " Th e French Republic has for its motto, i Liberty, Equ a lit y , an d Fraternity." Quite as good as " Dieu et 171011, Droit," which everybody now ad ; mits was no Droit at all ; or as most other of the mottoes the Heralds' College can produce. Art. 12. " The sovereignty resides in the univer sality of the French citizens." It does the like in all sensible countries; and twice within two cen turies the citizens of England have exercised it with a vengeance. But there are two applications of the term sovereignty ; one to the source of power, which must be with the community who have it, and the • other to the ruler or rulers to whom by the consent of the community the direction of its power is com mitted. The world is grown so wise, that none but knaves pretend to confound the two. "It [this so vereignty] is inalienable and imprescriptible [in less concise terms, is what no man can make away with, nor any man set up a valid claim against]. No in dividual, no fraction of the people, can appropriate the exercise of it. Art. 13. " All public powers, of whatever descrip tion, emanate from the people. They cannot be dele gated by hereditary succession." Good English \Vhiggery; except that in England the community has not seen reason to proscribe hereditary succession within limits. Art. 14. " The separation of powers is the first condition of free government." Alludes to the division in the following chapters, the first of which is entitled OF TUE LEGISLATIVE POWER- What follows will be given without precise distinc tion of articles, but omitting or contracting nothing without notice. " The French people delegates the power of legis lation to a single Assembly." This so far settles the question of two Chambers. The reasons which may exist for two Chambers are of two kinds. One, where the privileges of the second Chamber are founded on a capitttlation with powers which in an tecedent periods of history were stronger than at present; as may be considered as exemplified in Great Britain. The other, where a second Chamber exists on the conceived ground of its utility; as may to a certain extent be the case in Great Britain, and is to the whole extent in the United States. The most reasonable scheme for displaying the abstract use of a second Chamber, would be to propose that the first Chamber should be elected frequently, as for instance annually, to give the impression of actual popular feeling, and the second be elected for a long term, as for instance seven years, in order to modify the present feeling by the admixture of the feelings generated in years gone by. There is clearly some use in this species of check ; for it is impossible to give into the raw reasoning of those who urge, that either it is a good that popular will should rule or it is not, and if it is a good, then it is not good that it should be checked. The old almanac history, which records past motions to calculate future, declares that in most cases the movements of popular will under momentary im pressions, were or would have been the better for an infusion of the judgment of men not chosen on the spur of the moment or of the current year. The great mistake of the world and of every fraction of it, is always in believing that there never was any time like the present. The statesman on the contrary knows or ought to know, that there have been many times like it, or at all events like one piece of it or another, to the extent of leaving none which may not be fitted with some sort of precedent. The citizen believes there never was such a storm as overtook him between the bridge and Margate. The experi enced sailor knows there have been fifty ; or even if the wind was higher than ever before since Adam (which is not impossible), he knows that the experi ences of past times are primary elements in his salva tion. " The elections are based on population." The principle of equable electoral divisions. This is a good place for remarking the difference between equable and equal electoral divisions. It is understood there are to be thirty-four representatives for Paris and neighbourhood ; which if Paris proper contains a million of inhabitants, assumes that the neighbourhood added contains about a third of a million more. If Paris then has thirty-four representatives, and a pro vincial town and district of eighty thousand inhabi tants two, this is equable representation. It is feeble ness to say that it is not equal; for the difference be tween voting for thirty-four representatives as one of a million and a third of people, and for two represen tatives as one of eighty thousand, is not a thing for wise men to quarrel about. It is like the difference between helping to work a ship of 100 tons and of 1000 ; in one case a man is one of ten that bring a hundred tons into port, and in the other one of a hundred who bring a thousand tons. A sailor might lawfully have a choice; but he would be beside the mark, if he paid any great difference to chine. It follows then, that equability is the impor tant thing, and though there may be no reason why equality also should not be pursued as far as can be, yet there may be a liberty on this head without any marked harm. "The total number of representatives of the people is to he seven hundred and fifty, including the repre sentatives of Algeria and the French colonies. This number shall be raised to nine hundred in the case of an Assembly which shall undertake to revise the Con stitution." Two great marches gained upon English legislation. The first provision would have prevented the separation of the American colonies ; the second, if time is given for things to settle, may prevent fu ture revolutions in France, or other countries that adopt it. " The suffrage is direct and universal." All your friends may not know, that by direct suffrage is meant that the voters are not to chuse people who are to elect, but are themselves to elect. "The electors are, all Frenchmen of the age of twenty-one, and who are i n t h e en j o yment of th e i r civil and political rights." What is to cut a man off from these last, is stated afterwards. " The capable of being elected, without restriction of property or dwelling -place, are all Frenchmen of the age of twenty-five, and who are in the enjoyment of their civil and political rights." " Can neither elect nor be:elected—l. Uncertificated bankrupts. 2. Individuals condemned either to afflictive or degrading punishments, or to correc tional punishments for acts ranked as crimes by the law, or for the offences of theft, swindling, abuse of trust, and attacks on public decency." "The law on elections shall point out the holders of office who cannot be elected within the territorial sphere of influence where they exercise their func tions. The examination of the votes is secret." There may be room :for inquiry here. It does not say the voting shall be secret. If anybody is to have the power of knowing who votes for whom, the pretence to preserve secrecy afterwards is a fraud. It is won derful what a puzzle is made, about what is every where done daily without difficulty where there is the will. A simple printed list of the candidates, with directions to run a pen through the names not voted for, as is done at the India House, the Royal Society, and by all sensible people upon earth, is suf ficient to send all mechanists of ballot-boxes to the right-about. "The election of the representatives shall :be by department, at the head place of [each] canton, and by examination of [each] list." This is not very clear; though perhaps it may be to Frenchmen. Does it mean that a certain number of representatives are to be elected for each department (which will be on the average about nine), the elections being car ried on at half-a-doyen different polling -places or as the case may be, in the head places of the divi s i ons on called cantons, the votes being collected in eac h canton, and then sent to the head to of the depart ment to be added together?ileyequal in e x t en t, and of the .sizd English There acroeuBn4tyd. epTarhte- e members to gopulation. dimensionsm ents of a in middle-sized number of representatives, as s.t ulati ated, is to b e equably accordingt othepop ; which i s very departments.

This is much t h e same as the House of Commons does. But no mention is made of the process by which complaints of undue election are to be forwarded. " The National Assembly is , elect e d f or three years, and is re-elected all at once. This misses a great chance f or improvement; which would h ave been the late Member for Bath's plan, for a Parliament per manent in the main, but one-third to go out and be re-elected every year.

LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY MORNING.—The new Mail Steam-ship Niagara, under the command of Captain Ryrie, arrived abreast of the Coburg Dock, at four o'clock this morning. She started from Boston on the 14th instant, being the fourth day following the departure of the American steamer United States, from New York, which arrixed at Cowes on Friday last, and Captain Ryrie has now accomplished the shortest homeward run yet performed, one of ten and a half days from Boston, and ;eight and a half days from Halifax. The steamer America, Captain 'fad kins, on her second outward voyage, we learn reached Boston in the equally extraordinary space of time of ten days and a half. The amount of specie by the Niagara does not ex ceed 14,0001., New York being now the favourite port for shipment. Official intelligence of the ratification of the Mexi can treaty has been received at Washington by the n et i wh c communicated o datesr t k o t bf h ry e o mS telegraph e t n a e t x e. i hn G ae o vw v e i n r nob avin co T a wh r d a reached b m u Ntu the same as those received by the United States. General Taylor's nomination by the Whig Con vention at Philadelphia does not meet with the appro val of a large portion of that party, including the ad mirers of Henry Clay. The abolition Whigs of Massachusetts have decided upon holding a conven tien on the 28th, to oppose his election, and other northern and eastern states are likely to follow their example. It seems apparent that General Taylor will not receive the hearty undivided support of all the Whigs of the north, nor General Cass the undi vided support of the Democracy. Under this state of things says the Herald— " It is probable that we shall have a third candidate in the present canvass; and, in this respect, the Fourier portion of the Whig party will resemble the barn-burn ing portion of the Democrats, and, perhaps, fraternise together on the same platform. A portion of the northern and eastern Whigs have already refused ' to give their support to General Taylor, on the ground that his nomination was procured through southern influence; and a large portion of the De mocrats of this state refuse to support General Cass from precisely the same motives. The probability, therefore, is, that the recusant factions of both parties, having jumped out of the traces of party for the same cause, may unite hereafter, and form the nucleus of a great northern anti-slavery party, which may yet control the politics of the whole country. If such an event take place the north will be again arrayed against the south on the question of slavery, unless, in the meantime, the matter shall be satisfactorily adjusted in Congress, and thus prevent a great deal of ill-feeling between different regions of the country. "The matter is now in its incipiency. We shall see how it will end. One thing, however, is pretty evident —that the Whig and Democratic parties, so called, are about to be revolutionized, and new parties, new party lines, and new party issues, are about to be formed, the end of all which no one can tell. In the midst of this disruption, secession, confusion, and turmoil, among both the old parties, we still believe that General Taylor will be elected next President, if his supporters work like beavers through the summer, up to November. Ge neral Cass cannot be defeated without great effort." The advices by the steamer Acadia, which arrived at New York on the 10th, have had no material in fluence on the markets ; her news was considered un favourable—politically, from warlike accounts on the Continegt ; and,: commercially, from drooping prices of cotton ; and these, combined with an in creased uneasiness which the continued shipments of specie has occasioned, have operated in• producing heaviness in the stock and produce markets. Regarding the future prospects of breadstuffs, we quote the Herald, which says— "lt is the opinion of many engaged in the trade that prices for breadstuffs must, before the close of the season, rule very low—lower than they have been known for many years past. Circumstances certainly are in favour of this ; but we cannot agree with them. The absence of an external demand of any importance, sad - the favourable 'proapecfa of an abundant harvest, are strong evidences in favour of a very great reduction in prices ; but the farmers are not disposed to submit to any great decrease from those now current ; if they cannot get such prices as are sufficiently remunerative, they will keep back their supplies. The farmers are much more able to do so now than they have before been for several years. The stock of breadstuffs in the interior must be very large ; the crops of last year have not been brought out, the demand for flour for shipment having ceased just at harvest time last season ; and it must be admitted that the quantity of grain raised in 1847 exceeded that of any one of the previous ten years. The high prices current at planting and sowing time gave a great impetus to production, and the breadth of land cultivated in the fall of 1846 and spring of 1847 was, probably, greater than in any previous year within the history of the country." Again, on the specie drain : " The depreciation in most of the fancies is attributed entirely to the continued exportation of specie in such large sums. Within the past week about 808,000 dollars have been shipped to Liverpool and Havre, and there are no indications of an immediate suspension of the drain. It cannot continue much longer without se riously embarrassing our city banks. and through them the commercial classes generally. The receipts of specie from the south and west are falling off, and the supply will have to be furnished by the Atlantic cities, if the demand is kept up. "In the face of this drain of the precious metals the importations are increasing, even upon those of last year, when they were known to have been large. "On Saturday, the 17th inst., bids for the new Six per Cent. Loan of 16,000,000 of dollars will be opened at Washington, Bids for a much larger sum than that required have, doubtless, been made before this at a premium varyin g f rom 1 to 2 per cent. ; but nothing of an official nature has yet transpired, and probably will not before the appointed day." From nearly all quarters the prospects of this year's harvest, both in cotton and corn, are highly cheering. The Courier says— " The weather throughout our country has been ex tremely propitious to the growing crops, cool, with bright sunshine an d occasional rains. The growing crops everywhere are full of promise —and as yet we hear of no indiCation of disease in the potato. It is too early, however, in this region and further north, whence the chief produce of potatoes comes, to form an opinion except from the appearance of the vines, which in the early potatoes are now bl ossom i ng, and seemingly sound and vigorous. "Of the cotton crop —.a report of - out-worm in- one locality is all that we can see or hear to the contrary of the growing crop'continuing in a promising and flourish ing state. " The first cotton bloom we have heard of is earlier than in any year since 1842—the year which produced the previously incredible large crop of 2,399,000 bales, including Texas cotton." Tip 3 MARBIETS.— NEW YORK, JUNE 13. The approachin period f bids for the sixteen millions loan causes some g increased or pressure in the money market, by the preparations for the bid ding, which continued, and, as to the time of its ter mination, indefinite export of specie, aggravates. Money Market—The sales at the Stock Exchange this morning have been moderate, without any material chang e i n rates. Treasury notes closed at 107 i ; 'United States Sixes of '67, 107 i; Ohio Sixes of '6O, 101; Pens- Sylvania Fives, 75; Exchange on England has been in fair request at 110} to 1101.

Cotton.—Thomas Stewart, in his circular for the steamer, says:—" The day after issuing my last report of this mark et on t h e 30th ultimo, the steamer U n it e d States arrived with an advance of an eighth of a penny per lb. at Liverpool on all grades below 4id. Her accounts created a good inquiry for several days, and very full prices were cheerfully paid, the transactions resulting in es tablishing the market at a quarter of a cent. to three eighths up; the sales up to one P.M. on Friday, June 2, at which hour we received the accounts by the steamer Niagara, amounting to 1,500 bales daily. The advices by this steamer being directly the reverse of the antici pations of operatorse created a dulness and a total indis position to do business for the next two days—the sales of Saturday and Monday together being barely 800 bales. On Tuesday, the 6th inst.,about 1,200 bales were disposed of, at prices one-eighth lower. On Wednesday 1,000 bales, without any perceptible change in rates; holders con twuedindifferent about selliug,aud the market, although not distinctly dull, had a languid aspect,mostparties exhi biting confidence in the safety of present prices, and there was no desire shown to press more cotton on the market than there was a legitimate inquiry for. On Thursday only 700 bales were sold, and prices ware con sidered a shade lower. On Friday 1,800 bales found buyers, which included 350 bales taken for llavre, being the first purchase of any moment since the revolution. On Saturday morning we received the accounts by the Acadia to the 27th ult. from Liverpool, which, fully confirming the decline by the Niagara, caused some dis appointment, and there was very little business done on that day, the export purchases being confined chiefly to one party, who took 800 bales, at rates called a quarter cent lower than those paid the day before—the home trade taking 300 bales only. YUCATAN. The Tampico Arco-Iris of the 24th ultimo, say the New York papers, state that accounts had been received at that port from Merida on the 13th, by the Yucatan brig Hercules. This is four days later than our previ ous intelligence. By letters from Izamal, of the 9th ult., it was known in Merida that the Indians, to the number of 4,000, had been defeated in Shilpech and Motul by the Government troops. It appears this success has somewhat revived the valour of the Yucatecos; and the Union of Merida, of the 13th, expresses hopes of bettering the condition of the country by the prowess of her sons. Nevertheless, passengers by the Hercules, which left Campeachy on the 18th, described Yucatan as being in the greatest distress. Merida was crowded with families, whose numbers were augmenting from day to day, by those flying from the towns and villages in the interior recently destroyed by the Indians. In One of the towns the savages had hung upwards of 200 whitest The inhabitants of Merida dared not venture fifteen leagues from the city for fear of their blood thirsty enemies. Many of the neighbouring tribes had joined the insurgents near Campeachy, and approached within eight leagues of that place. According to the flows of the passengers in the Hercules, Mends must hare approached neare w r e rhe s c aa ity r r as ; be in a deplorable situation.

PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—S IR CHARLES NAPIRR'S SQUADRON.—Another experimental squadron is in course of collection, and will sail on or about the 10th of July from this port, under the command of Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Napier, K.C.B. The ships comprehending the squadron for 1848 will be the St. Vincent, 120, Captain Dacres (flag of Sir Charles); the Caledonia, 120, C a pt a in T. R. Cart er ; the Prince Regent, 92, Captain Martin ; the Power ful, 84, Captain the Hon. R. S. Dundas, C.B. ; the the Blenheim, 56 (screw) Captain Horatio Austen, C.B. ; the Araphian, 36 (screw) Captain Williams ; the Dra gon steam-frigate, Captain W. H. Hall; the Tweed, 18, Commander Lord Francis Russell ; the Pilot, 16, Commander Lyons ; the Frolic, 16, Com mander Vansittart the Hele na 16, Commander G. W. Smith ; an d t h e Reynard (screw), 8, to be com missioned by Commander P. Cracroft. This cruise, we are informed, will be more for the purpose of testing the efficacy of screw line of battle or block ships than for any other "experimental " purpose, and with this object the Blenheim will be tried under all possible circumstances. We have no doubt but that the experience of Captain Austen will show the Blenheim to great advantage. The Encounter steam-sloop, of 895 tons and 360- horse power (screw), arrived here yesterday from the eastward to be fitted for commission. The Excellent gunnery-ship, Captain Chads, C. 8., is again fully manned, notwithstanding the great number of men sent away this year to other ships. It would be good policy to allow the Excellent to enter as many men as choose to volunteer for her, because all her entries are petty o ffi cers or A.B.' s , consequently are wor th keeping', and teaching that which is of the highest importance in case of war. If the efficiency of a man-of. war is tested by the number of men who join her, which it may fairly be, certainly the Excellent is doubly efficient now, as she victuals nearly double the number she for merly did. MILITARY. The Bombay transport, Lieutenant Still, R.N., agent, arrived yesterday with the 77th' Regiment from Quebec, under the command of Major Eger ton. The 77th embarked for Malta in November, 1837, and has consequently nearly completed eleven years of foreign service, during which it has been stationed at Malta, Corfu, Jamaica, Nova Scotia, and the Canadas. The Bombay has also brought numerous invalids and detachments from the follow• ing corps serving in North America :—Royal Ar tillery, 19th, first battalion of the 20th, reserve battalion of the 20th, reserve battalion of the 71st, reserve battalion of the 23d, Rifle Brigade, and Royal Canadian Rifles, as well as some distressed British subjects, and the widows and orphans of deceased soldiers. She left Quebec on the 22d ult., but was detained by contrary winds in the St. Lawrence until the beginning of the present month. The 77th were relieved in Canada by the 19th Regiment from Bar badoes. In addition to the officers of the 77th the following came home passengers in the Bombay : Captains Crawley and Stevens, of the 20th, and En sign Burns, of the 19th. The 79th Highlanders were expected to arrive at Quebec in the course of th e present m on th i n th e R es i s t ance , f rom G ibraltar, to relieve the 93d, ordered home.

ACCIDENT AT THE RAILWAY TUNNEL AT SWAN SEA.—On Friday morning, just after the hour of our publication, information reached Swansea that another dreadful accident had taken place at the tunnel, resulting in the loss of tour lives. Such a rumour, as might be expected, produced a painful excitement in the town and neighbourhood. ;11t.tppily, when the fact was ascer tained, matters were found not so bad as they were re presented to be. The facts are as follows:—Early on Friday four men, instead of going down the pit on the ladder, entered a skip, and were let down. Whilst about half way down the chain snapped, and the un happy men were dashed to the bottom—a tremendous depth—and were greatly injured. One of the four, named David Rees, died in a few hours afterwards. The others are in a fair way of recovery, under the care of Mr. Michael. 4n inquest on the body was held on Saturday and Monday, at the Ty Melyn, before Charles Collins, Esq., and a respectable jury, of whom Mr. J. Oakshot was foreman, and a verdict of " Accidental Death" was returned.—Cambrian. ACCIDENT ON THE STAGE.—A painful accident occurred to Mr. Pritchard, the lessee and maaager of our theatre, on Wednesday evening, while he was playing the part of Macduff to Macready's Macbeth. In the fight represented in the last scene the point of Mr. Macready's sword unfortunately struck Mr. Pritchard on the face with such force as to cut through the cartilage of the nose and the upper lip, penetrating to the bone. It was with difficulty Mr. Pritchard was able to retain his place on the stage till the conclusion of the scene, and he could not speak the remainder of his part in con sequence of the blood which filled his mouth. Mr. S. Smith, surgeon, was promptly in attendance and dressed the wound, which, being made with a blunted weapon, w as much lacerated, and required to be closed with sutures. Though we have the satisfaction to learn that the wounded gentleman is going on as favourably as could be expected, he will necessarily be incapacitated from pursuing his avocations for some time, the situation of the injury requiring him to abstain from speaking, and being otherwise of an irksome and distressing nature. —Leeds Intelligencer of Saturday. OXFORD, JUNE 23.—This afternoon the following gentlemen were elected postmasters of Merton College —viz Messrs. David William Bernard, George Noel Freeling, and George Edward Martin, Commoner of Christ Church. WEST INDIA PINE APPLES.—The Tay steamer has brought a large parcel of this fruit, consigned to Messrs. Keeling and Hunt, the season for which up to the period of the sailing of the steaa:er was unfavourable to the growth of the crop, and a number of vessels from Eng land and America were detained in consequence of the difficulty of obtaiuiug cargoes. ~/ 1
