The object of this Company is to combine under one b a nage , ment the separate, but naturally co- o p era ti ve , businesse s of keepers of lodging and boarding-houses and Public and private Hotels. This combination, by which the profits of each will be enhanced, is intended to be carried out at that recently _established and most attractive wat er i ng -pl ace , W es t W orthing. A provisional agreement has been entered into for the lease of the two newly-erected mansions, which, being built in flats, are admirably adapted for the purpose, and the Heene Hotel for a term of 99 years, and the purchase of the trade and furniture and stock of the hotel at a cost to this Company, including all preliminary expenses, of £40,000. In addition, the sum of £lO,OOO w ill b e requ i red for furniture for the mansions and additional stock and 'working capital. This amount may be raised under the borrowing powers of the Company ; it will therefore only 0 6 necessary for present arrangements to call up 40 per cent, of the share capital. The Company has been constituted with the larger capi tal solely with the view of extending their operations, when the investment has proved to be as remunerative as it is t`°l'v anticipated it will be. During the time the Hotel has usen already in operation it has become evident that it is et Table of largely increasing its business by the addition of more bedroom accommodation, which may bo obtained at a small outlay. The spl en did esp l ana d es, pleasure-grounds, baths, and ot her places of public resort and amusement, which are in moues, coupled with the beauty of the surrounding of Tltry, the walks and drives in its vicinity, the salubrity L" 8 climate the ease with which it will be reached from ondon by a ' direct line of railway and trai n ser vi ce , w hi c h - 6 . is the determination of the West Worthing Investment I: t r o l lPany to secure, must bring the new watering-place ,favour as soon as it has b ecome genera ll y k nown t h at "° ll . accommodatien for visitors has been provided. i tls large class of:sea-side visitors will gladly avail them v, yes of the comfort, economy, and liberal treatment which I 'eY may fairly expect at the hands of a public Company ~;.; such matters as the occupation of apartments and the — ctu alling departments, in preference to that which they '4ll look for under the existing system. Although the Heene Hotel has been fully occupied since it paw " o Pened, no goodwill or promotion money will be for the formation of the Company. The enterprise, hich is of a bona fide character, is always in operation, and turn will be immediately realised by the shareholders. „After careful consideratio n of d e t a il e d est i mates, the D irectors thave no hesitation in recording their opinion, that the profits will prove sufficient to pay highly satisfac tory dividends.

WIESBADEN, Aug. 15. " Ton't you ' hobjeck to smoking ?" Such were the first words that greeted me as I 'got into the railway carriage at the Victoria station, bound to Dover and Calais 10 days ago. They were spoken by my only fellow-traveller in the carriage, and the solicited permission was unhesitatingly granted, for the smell of tobacco-smoke is not the worst torture fastidious olfactories may be subjected to. " Don't you object to smoking ? " I am travelling over lands where any objection of that nature has long been triumphantly overruled. As true as there are creatures who only live in water, so there are ani mals that can only breathe tobacco-smoke. Smoking in some countries has become the business of life. In Italy the railway guard calls out "Per fum are" or " Per non fumare." To be or not to be. In France the arch-smoker on the throne lights or puts out his subjects' pipe according as a passing whim dictates. Here, in Germany, there is one carriage in some trains where "Das tabakrauchen ist verbo ten ;" but what avails it when there is a rush at an insufficient train, and the station-master calls out " Completez vos compartements," as I heard it the other day at Lille, when passengers were stowed in pell-mell, hurry-scurry, higgledy-piggledy, without even paying due respect to first-class tickets, within the two seconds between the last peal of the bell and first whistle of the engine? What avails it, were you even safe in the train, if anywhere, at the waiting-rooms, at the buffet, on the platform, in the inevitable omnibus, at 'the hotel door, on the stairs, along the passages, the cloud-compellers have you at their mercy and show none ? I got into a coach the other day at Coburg, which was to convey me from the hotel to the station. The vehicle was constructed to carry four inside, and we had already our complement —my self and a sort of Thuringian bumpkin in the back seat, and opposite to us two young and comely women, a married lady and her sister, as I thought, about whose ladylike appearance there could be no mistake. Just as we were starting, a youngster, or junker, looked in, a man of prepossessing appear ance, with good features, a sanguine complexion, and the bright expression of a " witziger kopf," a wag agreeably to the German notions of waggery. He looked in, and the ladies, with whom he was evi dently a favourite, with many an " Ach !" and an " Herr Je," hastened to make as much room between them as enabled him to squeeze in The fair com panions gathered up their ample folds to the best of their abilities, and apologised for the inconvenience he had to endure from the pressure of their poor crushed crinolines. " Ach ! was sagen Sie, meine Damen," said the gallant spark, ogling to the right and left ; " Ich bin hier wie im Paradies." And his grin and his leer were certainly like those of Mephistopheles between two angels. He had his stump of cigar in his mouth, and he went on during the there, whole with one puff here and a d ro ll ery e, incense on those two d e iti es , th lavishing journey,ms who stood that and the ashes and the sparks and worse, well knowing that on this country " Love me, loge my cigar " is the motto ; and that men are only to be had on those terms, or not to be had at all. " Beasts !" I fancy I may hear some of our own fair young ladies at home exclaim, as the disgusting but true and commonplace picture is laid before them. I quite agree with you, my dear girls ; but it is just as well you should be forewarned that it is what travelling abroad will bring you all to ; and, in sober truth, I must say that most English damsels, as they cross the Channel, soon learn to stand fire unflinchingly, and I have heard more than one assert that " Continental smoke is not so offensive as that which they so much detest at home." It is a clear case of de gustibus, all matter of habit, and I have known a Lancashire man , after a trip thro ug h agri cultural the first sight of,:a factory chimney return, ail h and thank hi s stars that " he had come once more within the limits of civilisa civilisa- tion." All this somewhat long preamble brings m• back to Wiesbaden, where at least there is one sa f e h aven where no nicotine perfume intrudes, and that is the suite of gambling rooms at the liursaal ; for the goddess Rouge et Noire is a jealous goddess, and excludes all other worship from her temple. The swarming of European idlers to th ese their hauntsfavou rieerheen at witnessed thisseason former nn is something years, e On Sunday evening at Frankfort, which is only aimed a ter re for visitors to the Taunus baths, I was turned back from the West-end Halle, the Brusseler Hof, the Hotel do Russie and d'Angleterre, and, as no trains left that night, I should have had to sleep in my cab had I not claimed the right of private hospitality at a friend's house. Here, at Wiesbaden, accommodation passengers, the tu m bli ng d ow n of is not easily to be had without previous no ti ce . Th e dis gorging of shoals of mountains of luggage by every train i s somet hi ng appal ling.car You are fain to share your drosky or ca b w ith an y u e n u k r no h w e n tel f , el a lo n w d traveller,perhaps carrying unless ing your portmanteau to you prefer walking to boot. You may meet everybody you f ancy h ere ; an d, again, you may have those you care for and wish to see, two doors or two rooms off, and never come across them, or dream of their existence. In the midst of this apparent bustle and confusion, how ever, the instinct of birds of a feather to crowd together is true to itself, and people can be as exclusive, and indi viduals as private here, where everything is apparently so promiscuous and public, as in the closest coterie, and the most inexorable black-balling club. Hotels may bo open to all corners, and their charges may suit all purses, but somehow the power of attraction and repulsion works magnetically, every one in the end comes home to his 'own and is readily recognised and admitted. There are English houses here where English tastes and habits are con sulted, and even English prejudices humoured; tables for English guests to sit at, and allees for English saunterers to stroll in ; meal times set apart for the English almost ex clusively. An intruder finds no obstruction, he is not stared at or shrunk from. On the contrary, John Bull shows at these placesinfinite good humour, sociability, and accom modativeness. Some how or other that house gets an English name, nevertheless; and that dispensation which gave the English an island for a home seems equally to secure in their favour a certain amount of isolation wherever they go. For his own part John Bull, although he has free access to the haunts of other people, and is everywhere cordially welcome, only moderately avails himself of the privilege. He is, even when idling, more chary of his time than his neighbours ; he cannot sit for half a day under the Kursaal verandah ; his walks stretch beyond the tether of the Kursaal grounds ; he may be extrava gant, dashing, and headlong at rouge et noir ; but he is seldom to be seen sitting doggedly day and night, fighting for florins. He does not delight in loose conversation. There is a degree of refinement about him, which to other people is irksome restraint. He lives to himself, to a great extent, or only mixes with those whom congeniality of taste points out as his fit associates. The Royal family of England are at this time all in Germany. Yesterday, as I was travelling from Frank fort to Wiesbaden by the 4 o'clock train I was surprised to find a great crowd at Castel, near Mayence. A gallant staff of brilliant officers of that garrison—Austrians, Prus sians, and Hessians—had assembled to do honour to the Duke of Cambridge, who was with us in the train, and who had probably come from the Castle of_ Rumpenheim, the seat of the Duchess, his mother, to attend some parade or other military show at Mayence. His Royal Highness was received with enthusiastic cheers. The Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Maid• were with the Duke, and followed in an open carriage and four, escorted by many of the officers. August 17. I told you in my last letter how I mot his Royal High ness the Duke of Cambridge, on Monday, on his way to Mayence. On the following day, Tuesday, Wiesbaden was honoured by the presence of half the Royal family of England—the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke and- Duchess of Cambridge, and the Princess Mary of Cambridge. Their Royal Highnesses put up at the Four Fahrzeiten (the Four Seasons), a large hotel, where Prince Frederick of Hesse, the Grand Duke and the Crown Prince of Mecklenburg-Strelitz were also- accommodated with all their "hohem geitu--Drschft" (high suite and retinue), as the Kur-und-Fremdenlist has it. You may imagine that the appearance of these distin guished visitors has not had the effect of thinning the ranks of strangers staying in Wiesbaden and of the loyal English especially. We have no less than 24 new arrivals from England in to-day's list, rather more than the daily average, and constituting about the tenth of visitors coming on the same day to Wiesbaden from all parts of the world. The names of many of these English birds of passage would not, if taken literally from the list, convey much information to their friends of home. I will trouble you, for instance, .to make out who Herr Pony desta, Gentlemant, London, may be; or, to look over the Court Guide for one Herr Etleyander, also fresh from London. It might be interesting to inquire wherein the peculiar charm resides which attracts so many people to Wiesba den. To the good single-minded German who, like all his continental neighbours, is, with few highly aristocratic exceptions, a dweller in the cities, to issue forth from his close streets and breathe the free air in the dog-days in a place like this, which combines many of the advantages of town and country, must undoubtedly be a rare treat. Bating his board and lodging, for which also he is mode rately charged, he has all sorts of enjoyment supplied him free of expense. Spacious and lofty rooms, all glittering p w n i i t .t h ico g e o s l, in , d shady te w h alks Kur in sa t a h l e ; comfortableshrubberiesrnsueatnds itsimde t r is minia ture lake in front of it ; stately swans, black and white, to feed, a never-ending source of delight with your kind hearted grown-up German as it is with our English chil dren ; strains of warlike music by the best Austrian bands, well-supplied reading-rooms, gorgeous light, genial warmth, when required—the sum of all earthly luxuries— all is to be had here gratis et amore. The Croupier, or, I beg his pardon, Propriaaire des Jeux, is a mighty wizard, who, by the touch of his wand, conjures up a fairy palace and garden, and bids every care-laden mortal lay aside his burden and be happy. ,inttiSez roes Messieurs; c'est tout pa?/d. But for an English gentleman, who has a mansion and park of his otivn, with perhapS a hunting-box in the shires and no end of acres in the moors, what may be the peculiar attractions of this place ? Is it the cheap opera and drama, the balls and concerts, with Madame Czillag, Made moiselle Topp, and others stars of the Vienna firmament ? Is it the " Reading from the best poets and dramatists," the cricket-match, such as came off yesterday at Homburg, " The Eleven of England against the Eleven of all the rest of Europe?" It may be for any of these things that an Englishman comes to this place, it may be for all these things together, or it may bo for other things besides. Wiesbaden is voted a charming spot by many, though it lies in a hollow, and is as close and hot in the summer as a steaming tea-kettle. But the gardens and walks, the ponds and fountains are laid out with taste. There is a certain heaviness about the buildings hardly redeemed by their bran-new tidiness, their flowered balconies, their dainty trellised summer-houses by the road side. Their great hotels, bathhouses, boarding and lodging houses are huddled together no less in defiance of the laws of sober symmetry than with utter disregard of the requirements of pleasing variety. Huge square whitewashed structures they are, many of them, which might well pass muster in rows along a terrace or around a square in a town, but which stare at you hideously as they rise detached in their own narrow lots, dwarfing the trees which ought to embosom them, and crushing the tiny hills on which they are piled one above another. Anything in the style of the love cottage, or of the mountain chalet you would look for in vain for miles round the town. German taste runs not in that line. The "Die" model, as they call it, as broad as it is long, as high as it is broad, flat, ponderous, unsightly is everywhere the fashion. Wiesbaden, that part of it at least - which is got up for the accommodation of strangers, looks very much like a town to be sold by auction, with its houses moved from their places, and thrown out here and there at random for the convenience of inspecting bidders. Talk of the want of architectural taste in England! I contend that, out of town, at least, your Englishman knows how to build a home without making it an eyesore in the landscape. * Out of town, again, when you have managed to get past the last scattered buildings, you have a land of homely and "friendly," as the Germans have it, but by no means transcendent beauty. It is green and woody, with ranges of flat hills of easy but somewhat weary ascent. The two miles' walk to the ruined Castle of Sonnenberg, along a narrow dell, all meadow and chestnut and walnut groves, of which the mediaeval structure bars the upper gully, is delightful. That grey stronghold rears its square massive tower far up in the heavens, as you near it, far above the fort mantling the shattered fragments at its feet. The enchantment that distance lends vanishes, however, in a great measure as you come to it, the whole fabric dwindles, and the view at the back of it, over the round summit of the Feldberg and the ridges of the Taunus, is not quite Alpine. On the other side of the town, not many hundred yards beyond the last habitations in the Eliza bethan Strasse, you have the Nevo Thal, the Nevo Berg, a verdant region, and, on the side of the hill, out of the bosom of a young but dense wood, you have the Greek or Russian chapel, "Die Kapelle," as it is called par excel lence, a striking object as seen from afar, a quaint edifice in Oriental taste, with its five gilded minarets, and ele gant arches and columns, a striking object, which also does not gain by a nearer approach. These are the lions of Wiesbaden, and the killing of them would not take more than half a day. Yet people come to the spot, and stay over a month. The charm of the place is altogether social. Nowhere else, perhaps, are all the races of Europe, with all tfieir variety of counte nance, garb, and accent, with all their peculiarit'es of taste and costume, brought together in so close a famili arity, in such intimate intercourse—the upper classes of Europe, the wealthy, the refined, the idle, the frivolous. It is a study for an age to the physiognomist and ethno logist ; a study you never tire of. All this outside the Kursaal. Within its precincts, in its fine suite of gilt apartments, as your eyes get used to the soft demijour which makes them deliciously cool in spite of the crowd and of the sultriness of the weather, you have the key to the mysteries of Wiesbaden. Enter ; you have before you eight or ten rooms, with as many roulettes, or rouge-et-noir tables in them, and all of them beset from 11 o'clock in the morning to 11 o'clock at night —so beset as to allow you little chance of sitting or even standing room. At certain hours in the evening, even to elbow your way through on your way to the reading-rooms is an extremely difficult task. The interest taken by the multitude in the rites therein per formed is intense. There is something appalling in the silence, still more in the undertoned words that some one is droning out, like a spell, at frequent intervals. There is a rattle and jingle, too, but the sound is subdued, muffled, almost dreamlike, and the order and decorum of the assemblage aro quite edifying. Few faces round the tables, hardly any, indeed, give signs of any very lively emotion. There they sit, pale and earnest, most of them in a brown study, hardly ever raising their eyes, seldom addressing their neighbour, even in whispers. Here and there you catch sight of a deep furrow in a man's brow, of a twitch in a woman's lip. The sitters inside the Kursaal make up as motley a group as the crowd outside on the terrace. Here you have the florid complexioned German Baron, the slender-built Magyar noble, the Kalmuck Rus- .-.401. sian flat face, the fine profile of the Latinrace— unmis takable brotherhood of n a ti ons. The English have no; many here ; just a dash of fast young men, a few curious middle-aged club men, a few most respectable matrons with their bevy of blooming daughters. Not many of the English sit at the tables ; the most venturesome of them fling in their florin or napoleon, just by way of frolic, and either walk away unconcerned, without awaiting results, or are ready with their good humoured laugh either for gain or loss. Few of the better class of English people gamble, I repeat ; not many even frequent the liursaal. They are rather to be found at the reading-rooms or gar dens, at their own hotels, where they limit themselves pretty much to each other's company, sit down to long breakfasts and still longer dinners, at their own late hours, and keep up a lazy, harmless, and taut soit peu drowsy talk about the last set come in or the last party gone off ; about the merits and charges of various hotels, the best route to Zermatt, Bishop Colenso, the cattle disease, Bismark, the gout, the waters, the waiters. I notice bald heads in great number, and a few white ties. Two-thirds of the young ladies aro pretty, or are made by the waters, by early hours, and mild excitement, to look so. I wonder if any man of woman born ever grows up with a natural calling to be a croupier. I sat opposite to him the day at the Kursaal table d'hote at Homburg, not the great man himself, I suppose, but certainly one of the principal ministers and high priests of the divinity men come here to bow down to; a bland-looking, smug, middle aged gentleman, clad in the most scrupulously neat black coat and white waistcoat, very bland and very earnest, not ill-favoured, on n first inspection, but marked with a most unequivocal hooked nose and capacious nether jaw, all sleek and stout and round, a gorged bird of prey, the edge of whose appetite no gorging can blunt ; glossy black hair, dull black eyes, deep eye-brows, colourless cheeks, a bronze face. He cracked his jokes in an undertone, leered at a high-dressed young lady on his right —one of those young ladies who happen to have taken the wrong train somewhere and lost their friends on the way, and who come hither without mamma or chaperon—and for the rest, there he sat, self-satisfied, conscious of his im portance ; a man of few wants, apparently, of humdrum habits, of a most limited vocabulary. " Faites le jeu, Messieurs—le jeu eat fait :—rouge perd," &c. ; and the eternal rattle of the napoleons raked in and the florins doled out. There is an existence for an immortal soul made in God'g image ! Yet, without him, what would Wiesbaden, Baden, or Homburg be in the summer, or Monaco in winter ? "It is a crying shame, a flagrant scandal of the German Govern ments," I hear it said. It may be, or may not be ; but, if that man waited till he fattened on my florins or thalers, I dare say it would take time before he looked as sleek as he does. I remember that Frenchmen who could never find fault with any human contrivance, however question able, the result of which was to "faire rouler les ecus," and certainly for a sure means of rapid pecuniary circula toin there is nothing in the world like the darling sin at Wiesbaden ; and because it is one of the sins we have no mind to, my good friend, shall wo be in a hurry to damn it, and think less of the sins we are inclined to ? Naval and Military Intelligence. We (Times) have received the following letter from our Malta correspondent, dated Valletta, August 18 : " Her Majesty's frigate Magicienne, 16, Capt. W. Army tage, arrived on the 11th inst. from Castellamare and Mes sina, having been ordered to Malta by the Commander-in- Chief. She brought the satisfactory intelligence that, the last instalment of £B,OOO having been paid to the Italian brigands, Mr. Moans was about to be released. An anchor lost four years ago by her Majesty's ship Terrible at Mes sina, and which several of her Majesty's ships had been ex pressly sent to recover, but without success, was brought here by this vessel. The Chanticleer, 17, Commander W. H. Fen wick, and the Racer, 11, Commander L. Brine, left port on the 11th inst., and are still sailing in the offing for the benefit of the sea breeze. The former vessel returned from Rosas Bay on the Bth inst. Last week I contradicted a report that a second fatal case of cholera had occurred on board. The report was untrue at the time, but the evening after her departure from Malta a second case, ending fatally, actually did occur among the crew. The Chanticleer con sequently brought back a large number of supernumeraries she was conveying for the different ships, as had they been received by the Admiral the whole squadron would have been put in quarantine. There have been no other cases of cholera on board any of the ships here ; but the disease pkevails amongst the dockyard police, and some of the workmen have been attacked, owing, it is b3lieval, to the horrid state Qf the Dockyard-creek, which has become un bearable in the summer weather from the sewers of three populous towns emptying themselves into it. Various pro posals have been made by commissions appointed to exa mine into the matter, but nothing has been done hitherto to remedy the evil. Many of the employes whose duties will permit them have been driven from their official resi dences to seek a purer atmosphere elsewhere. Her Majesty's gun vessel Surprise, Commander G. Tryon, left Malta on the 15th inst. for Spezzia with mails for the squadron. Since her departure a telegram has been received an nouncing the arrival of the Commander-in-Chief at Genoa, and giving instructions that the next mails should be de spatched to him at Spezzia." . The passage of the armour-plated frigate Agin court, last week, from Birkenhead to Plymouth, is said to be the first in which a ship has been navi gated from her place of construction to a naval port without the aid of canvas or the escort of a steam tender. This immense ship, 6,621 tons, the largest in the British navy, was in charge of Capt. Paynter and Staff-Commander Moor, of the Donegal, at Liverpool, who had a crew of about 150 men, in cluding seamen and stokers, from the steam reserve in Hathoaze, and riggers from Devonport dockyard, under the command of Mr. Sleep, master of the steamtug Scotia. Mr. Henry H. Laird, one of her builders, was on board. The Agincourt left Liver pool on the 12th inst. for Holyhead, where, in con sequence of the weather, she continued until the 18th at noon, when she started, and reached the South Slack light at 12 56 p.m. ; the Smalls light was passed at 10 2 ; Longships, off the Land's-end, at 7 28 on the morning of the 19th ; the Lizard, 9 38, and Rame Head, the western boundary of Plymouth Sound, at 134 p.m. the same day. The course, about 280 miles, was thus run in 24h. 40m., equal to a speed of 111 knots, without deductions for hazy weather or when ships were near, on which occasions the speed never exceeded 10 knots. This result was considered satisfactory by the officers in f charge. When ready for sea it is estimated that t . ; the draught of the Agincourt will be, aft, 26 forward, 25ft. On leaving Liverpool her draught was 25ft. 6in., and 23ft. Gin., and in on her a fu rr e i l v , al so a o t 7 Plymouth 25ft. Gin., and 22ft. • tons of coal, was stowed chiefly forward ; her five iron masts are on deck, a little abaft the midship section. The bulk of the weights which will yet have to go in her will be placed chiefly forward. The Agincourt on her passage answered her helm readily, and was very easy under the swell of the sea, whether ahead or on her beam. The weather, although moderate, was sufficiently heavy to cause other ships to roll. Her engines, by Mandalay, Sons, and Field, are of 1,350 horse power nominal, being more powerful by 100 horses than those of the Achilles, and were in charge of Mr. Warrener, of that firm, and hi s eng i neers. They were fitted in Mr. Laird's yard, but will not be accepted by the Lords of the Admiralty until certified after trial by the official inspectors, which cannot take place' for some time. On the passage all her 10 boilers were worked. The screw has a diameter of 24ft., and a pitch of 24ft. ; it is of the Admiralty pattern—four bladed ; the revolutions averaged 50 per minute ; vacuum, 26i and 27 ; highest temperature in the stoke-hole 105 deg., and in the engine -room 82 deg. There were no hot bearings, and the machinery was not stopped from the time of leaving Holyhead to arrival in Plymouth Sound. The Agincourt will be placed in the new long dock in Devonport yard. In consequence of her great breadth-59ft. 3in.—it will be necessary to use deeper blocks than usual to receive her keel, by which her bilges will be brought higher up, and consequently further off from the receding sides of the dock. There will thus be more light below, and the artisans will obtain more space in which to do their work. She will probably be docked on Thursday. Her total weight is 8,000 tons. The Constance screw frigate, Captain E. Bar nard, sailed from Spithead yesterday from Devon port, where she is ordered to complete her outfit for foreign service. The Scorpion, 4, double turret ship, Captain H. Burgoyne, V.C., remains at anchor at St. Helen's, south of Spithead, testing the working of her guns and turrets, under the supervision of the officers of her Majesty's ship Excellent. Tne following reinforcements for cavalry and in- • •• f t is fantry regiments in India are now awai g'orard„ at Chatham garrison to embark on board the`char- 1 tered troopship Beaumaris Castle, which has been taken up by the Hon. Council of India for the conveyance of troops to Kurrachee—viz., Lieut. W. S. Jervis, Ensign C. D. Rundall, Ensign E. A. Free, and 34 non-commissioned officers and men of the 101st Royal Bengal Fusiliers ; Ensign R. Lawrence, and 153 non-commissioned officers and men of the 90th Light Infantry ; Captain J. Lane and wife, 82d Regiment; Captain W. Green, Er, sign A. W. Warrand ; Ensign S. G. Hulse, and 80 men of all ranks of the 42d Royal Highlanders (the Black Watch) ; 51 non-commissioned officers and men of the 79th Cameron Highlanders ; 1 man of the 93d Sutherland Highlanders ; 1 man of the 51st King's Own Light Infantry ; Lieutenant J. Gabbett and 26 men of the 95th Regiment ; and 1 man of the 21st Hussars, the whole in medical charge of Assistant-Surgeon T. A. Thornhill, M. 8., 7th Queen's Own Hussars. The Beaumaris Castle was under orders to leave the Thames, with the above troops on board, on the 18th inst., but in consequence of an accident which she has sustained she is not expected to be ready to receive on board her troops for some days. HEALTH OP LONDON. (From the R egistrar-General's Weekly Report.) In the week that ended on Saturday, Aug. 19, the births registered in London and ten other large towns of the United Kingdom were 3,889 ; the deaths re gistered 2,658 ; annual rate of mortality was 24 per 1000 persons living. In London the births of 954 boys and 1,019 girls, in all 1,973 children, were registered in the week. In the corresponding weeks of 10 years, 1855-64, the average number, corrected for increase of popu lation, was 1,891. Thedeaths registered in London during the week were 1,182. It was the 33d week of the year; a n d the average number of that week was, with a cor rection for increase of population, 1,322. The actual return for the week is less than the estimated mor tality by 140. It is satisfactory to observe that the mortality from diarrhoea exhibits a great decrease. In each of the first two weeks of the present month the deaths from this disease were above 200 ; in the last week they declined to 116. The average number for the corresponding week in the last 10 years is, with a correction for increase of population, 200. In the week that ended Aug. 20, 1859, the deaths from diarrhoea were 240 ; in the same week of 1864 they were 242. Besides the deaths enumerated as caused by diarrhoea, 12 cases, of which 4 occurred to adults, were referred to cholera or choleraic diarrhoea. In St. George's-in-the-East, at 61, Hardinge-street, on Aug. 15, the wife of a working lighterman, aged 27, died of " Asiatic cholera after 24 hours' illness." Mr. Armstrong, registrar of St. Mary sub-district of St. George-in-the-East, draws attention to the condition of Blacksmith's-arms-court, which suffered much by a visit of malignant typhus three years ago, and where sickness is always prevalent, in con sequence of the filth and foetid exhalations of the place. The following four deaths by horses or horse con veyances on the streets were registered in the week : In Dean-street, Holborn, on Aug. 11, the son of a farrier, aged 12 years ; died at King's College Hos pital. On Aug. 11'the son of a chimney sweep, aged 8 months, thrown from a cart, died at 4, Canal street, Haggerstone. On 4th August, a carman, aged 27 years, run over ; died at 3, York-street, Bethnal green. In the Old Kent-road, on 13th August, a labourer, aged 36 years, knocked down by a cab, died in Guy's Hospital. The rate of mortality last week was 20 per 1,000 in London, 27 in Edinburgh, and 25 in Dublin ; 32 in Liverpool, 31 in Manchester, 34 in Salford, 26 in Birmingham, 29 in Leeds, 19 in Bristol, 27 in Hull, and 32 in Glasgow. In Liverpool the births were 363, the deaths 289 ; in Manchester the births 227, the deaths 209 ; in Salford the births 82, the deaths 72 ; in Birming ham the births 236, the deaths 166 ; in Leeds the births 198, the deaths 125 ; in Bristol the birthslo3, the deaths 60 ; in Hull the births 70, the deaths 53; in Edinburgh the births 118, the deaths 89 ; in Glasgow the births 343, the deaths 263 ; and in Dublin the births 176, the deaths 150. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.624 in. The barometrical pressure fell to 29.39 in. on Tues day, and rose to 29.81 in. on Saturday. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 60 deg., which is 1.3 deg. below the average of the sameweek in 50 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The mean temperature was slightly below the average on every day of the week. The highest day tempera ture was 73.2 deg., and occurred on Monday ; the lowest night temperature was 46.6 deg., and occur red on Saturday. The range of the thermometerin the week was therefore 26.6 deg. The mean daily range was 18.2 deg. On Saturday the range was 25.6 deg. The difference between the mean dew point temperature and air temperature was 7 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 78, complete saturation being represented by 100. O n Tuesday the humidity almost touched the point of saturation. The general directions of the wind were south-west and west. The rain measured 0.29 in., most of which fell on Monday and Tuesday. O n .lin. Thursday rain fell at Manchester to the amount of o 7 STATE OF TRADE I ‘T ANcHEsTER , Aug. 22.—There has been a fair amount of business to-day in shipping yarns, at very extreme prices. The rates obtained to-day are about frd. to Id. per lb. in advance of last Tuesday. The Germans have been the chief buyers. Some little business has also been done for India, and full prices paid. The market is strong at the close with an upward tendency. In home.trade yarns also we have had a better market than on Friday, with prices decidedly against the buyer. Just a fair amount of business doing. The cloth-market remained very quiet up to Saturday, when more inquiry began to manifest itself, and there was a disposition to buy. The excitement in the Liverpool cotton market was in a great measure the cause of this improved feel ing, which necessitated advanced quotations on the part of the sellers. Very little advance in price, however, could be obtained, although the inquiry for some sort of mulls and jacconets for India was pretty general. The total amount of business done to-day has not been large. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report of this day's cloth market : " Our market was dull and with a downward tendency in prices till Saturday, when the excitement in Liverpool caused some movement here. We have, however, realised no advance in price, and the business of to-day has been on a very moderate scale." LEEDS, 22d.—There has been rather below than above a full attendance of buyers in the cloth-halls to-day. Most of the wholesale London and other large houses having lately purchased freely of goods for the fall trade, there is a lull in the demand from the merchants at the present moment. The same may be said, too, as to the foreign trade, recently there having been a very good demand, which has supplied, and is still supplying, manyforeign markets with a full seasonable supply of the woollen fabrics of Yorkshire. The manufacturers continue in good employment, and prices of wool, yarn, and goods are alike steady. markette. day the N OTTI NGHA3f, 22d.—No change to not e i n b rown ne t s . There was a fair inquiry for hosiery yarns, and to p e r ll ic D es A L w E e , r e 21st.--In about the same the as heretofore. o p e rations of mercha n t s are limited • i in every department, and the reason assigned in the persis tence in high prices, which buyers contend might reasonably be lowered ; but, on the other hand, the manufacturers urge that the long-continued dearness of wool has, for the present, made such a concession utterly impossible. With respect to the demand for Yorkshire goods, there is no improve ment, and prices are chiefly nominal. Purchases of wool are only made according to the immediate necessities of the manufacturers, and the highest prices still prevail. MR. C. S. READ, M.P.—The Earl of Leicester, Lord Lieutenant of Norfolk, has appointed this gentleman a magistrate of the county. Mr. Read, it will be remem bered, defeated his lordship's brother at the late general election. NEW NOVEL BY MR. HAZLITT. This day, in 3 vols., at all Libraries, SOPHY L AURIE.
