The deposit of plans and sections, and all other necessary steps, have been taken with a view to an application for an Act of Incor poration during the present Session of Parliament. The line will commence at the end of the GodalminT Branch of the South-Western Railway, and will pass the towns of Godalming, Haslemere, and•Petcrsfield, and g , nerally following the route of the Direct Portsmouth Railway as sanctioned by Parliament in 1846, to Havant, it will there unite with the Coast Line of the B-ighton Com rany, and the Fareham Extension Line of the South-Western Com pany, and proceed thence directly to the town and harbour of Ports mouth. The landowners and others locally interested in the district have concurred in promoting this measure, and have, to the extent of nearly three-fourths of the length of the line, signed agreements for the sale of their land at its mere agricultural value, and in several instances have agreed to take the company's shares in payment. The connexion with the South-Eastern Railway, near Godalming, will secure to the proposed linethe advantage of a second entrance Into and exit from London, the one to the west end, and the other to the Yeart of the City, establishing by the same means also a direct communication, and with a great saving in distance, between the metropolis, Woolwich, Chatham, Sheerness, Reigate, and the South-eastern Line generally, and Guildford, Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight, as well as with all the intervening country. The line will effect all the objects contemplated by the Direct Portsmouth Act of 1846, but at the reduced cost of 400,0001. now, Instead of 1,500,0n0/. then required It has been also further greatly improved by a late survey made under the directions of Messrs. Locke and Errington, by which it will not only be materially shortened, but three out of the four most serious and highly objectionable tunnels in the forme: plans have been entirely got rid of in the present, and the fourth, near Peters field, reduced to one-third its length. To avoid all risk and uncertainty, however, on these essential points, the promoters have entered int* a provisional contract with perfectly responsible parties, for the completion of the entire line from Godalmine to Havant, for the extremely moderate sum of 372,0001., or 12,0001. per mile, Including the cost of land, rails, sta tions, and all other necessaries, excepting only the locomotive plant; and further, the same parties have come under a formal and binding engagement to take a lease, if required, of the line when completed, for the first five years, at a net minimum rental of 4 per cent. per annum, with one-half of the profits beyond that amount. Parliament having already, in 1846, sanctioned this line now pro posed to be constructed, its promoters cannot believe that any se rious or effective opposition can be again offered to it. To sum up, it may be safely asserted that the undertaking holds out adyantages to subscribers and the public generally that have rarely yet been offered by any other railway project, viz. : It wB. afford the most dinect. and by far the cheapest route be • tween London and Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight, being the shorter by twenty-two miles than either ofthe two existing lines, and being contracted for at 12,0001. a mile, in lieu of about four times that a ' mount expended on the Brighton and South-Westerelines,it will have, through the South-eastern, from Godalming, a double entrance into London; from which it follows, almost as a matter of course. that it will command the entire traffic of the Isle of Wight and Portsmouth, on terms that. while highly remunerative to its pronrietary, must make competition on the part of its rivals hopelesr, if not impos I bin, Further, the whole cost of the entire works and material has been undertaken. by respectable contractors, for a specific and fixed sum ; thus freeing the calculations and estimates of the engineers from all doubt and uncertainty. And, finally, the Shareholders will have the power of accepting or not, at their option, the offer of a lease of the line when completed, for five years, at a minimum rate of 4 per cent. interest on their capital, with half the profits beyond, with the interim payment also of 4 per cent. on the deposit and calls during the construction of the line. In the event of the Act of Par liament not being obtained the expenses will be limited to 4s. per share, and the balance will be re turned to the shareholders.

The essential obiect of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under tha personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few egally qua lified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself under a sufficient guara ntee that those who may place themselves will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these cases.

The tribe of l ' Quiet Symathisers; and ' Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; and if this hook could find its way into the hands of those who suffer fr m the com plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize— much money This volume is well qualified to put an end to the empirical system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to place the treat ment upon a more rational and physiological basis.

TO THE QUEEN.—One of the vacant appoint ments of Naval A.D.C. to the Queen, has been given to Commodore Charles Talbot (1850), the Commander-in- Chief at the Cape. This officer, too, has been neglected, for he has received no consideration for his services when, as captain of the Vestal, 26, he was the senior officer, and commanded the gallant expedition against the pirates at Maluda. He earned, however, a decora tion, rather than an appointment, usually bestowed on the senior captains. We perceive that Captain the Earl of Hardwicke (1825), has neither, decoration, good ser vice pension, nor is he in the list of A.D.C.'s. The noble lord has richly earned some such service distinc tion, and although the appointment of A.D.C. to the Queen must be with him, from his senior standing, merely honorary, it would be a just preference on the part of the Duke of Northumberland to give the gallant earl one of the vacancies. PRIZE-MONEY FOR THE SPIDER.—Goode and Co. have given notice to the late officers and crew of her Majesty's ship Spider, J. W. Tomlinson, Esq., commander, that an account of bounties, &c., received for the capture of the America, on the 20th day of September, 1850, will be forthwith deposited in the registry of the High Court of Admiralty.

See pagess and7in detailed pamphlet, by F. G. P. Nelson, Esq. * The rates here selected are those adopted by the English and Cambrian Office, and advertised in its distinctive features as low rates of premium, and professedly for the lower and midd:ing classes. In most offices, particularly the older ones, such as the Scottish Equitable and the Globe, these rates would be much higher. In the former of 101. 7s. 6d., with 10 shillings per cent. entrance fee, would be the rate to insure 5001. at 20 years of age. In the latter 81. 13s 4d., to insure the same sum. The higher the rate the more in favour of the DEPoSIT system. t Money laid out at compound interest DOUBLES ITSELF every four- teen years. On comparison of these two tables it will be seen that a person under the novel system of DEPOSIT assurance can secure the follow ing advantages, viz., Ist. For a less sum, paid annually, he can assure a larger sum in case of death than under the ordinary system. 2ndly. In the event of a desire to surrender his Pettey he can receive in this Company, by the above example, which applies to all ages, THREE times as much as on the ordinary system. 3rdly. In the event of inability or omission to pay, his policy remains still his property, of the same value as it was, though be cease his current payments for any number of years ; whereas on the ordinary system, he gets nothing. 4thly. Should he require to increase or decrease the amount of his policy he can do so at pleasure. Ile can, at any time, by giving a fortnight's notice, withdraw any part from li up to the whole amount of his previous payments and with interest. After he has withdrawn part one year he can, by a single payment, three years, or any time afterwards. raise his policy to a greater or even its former amount ; and by this system he can at all times regulate his annual savings by his annual expenditure, with the facility in the bargain of having a fund to fly to in case of necessity, the same as in a bank, with this palpable advantage, however, that he gets inte rest fur his money, and in case of death his family receive more than the amount of his savings. In ordinary Life Offices be can do no such thing, but his policy at once lapses or is cancel'ed the moment he ceases to pay his current premiums, and, instead of having any fund to fly to for aid, all his hard-earned savings become forfeited to the society, and his misfortunes serve to benefit the pockets of his more fortunate co-assurers. Such a system is too equitable and too striking to be overlooked and DEPOSIT assurance is the only system of assurance which can be universally recognized and adopted when the principles are impar tially canvassed, and its palpable benefits become widely diffused. It confers greater advantages than a b , lik because it allows a fair rate of interest in case of withdrawal, and gives twice the amount in the hands of the Company to the representatives of the Depositor in , case of death, thus combining the ADVANTAGES OF A RANK WITH THE BENEFITS OF AN ASSURANCE COMPANY. In case of endowment Assurances the advantages of the DEPOSIT system are still more striking. ADVANTAGES OF THIS COMPANY UNDER THE ORDINARY LIFE ASSURANCE BRANCH.

She is ca'led the Mercui, Captain Herrmann, and is on a voyage from Swinnemunde for Rio, with stores, &c., for the royal Prussian ships Gefion and Amazon. Captain Herrmann, accompanied by L. A. Van der Bergh, Esq., the Prussian vice-consul, visited the admiral and governor this morning. Merchant vessels continue to drop in from the Downs. There are now between 60 and 70 at the Motherbank. There must be at least a 1,000 hungry seamen, to the benefit of the tradesmen of Ryde, Isle o f Wight.

The Avon steam-vessel sailed to-day with seamen, for Portsmouth. _ _ The steamer Valorous was warped to the jetty pre paratory to being docked and having her copper examined ; and the crew of the Magicienne got up lower yarcis and topmasts. The Adelaide Australian mail-packet was to-day towed by the Confiance and Pike up Hamoaze. About 209 tons of coals, now stowed in the fore peak, will be brought further aft, and this alteration in her stowage, it is expected will obviate all her defects in steering. It is proposed to have her ready for sea on Thursday, at one p.m. THE FATAL FEVER, ON BOARD THE DAUNTLESS. We extract the following from a private letter, dated Barbadoes, Nov. 28 :—" Since I last wrote to you, a dreadful visitation has fallen upon us in the shape of yellow fever, which it appears was caught at St. Tho mas's. We left that island on the 10th November, and reached this on the 16th, evening. Next day, at 2 p.m., we took the sick to hospital, which is a military one, and they are very kindly treated. One of the engineers (Henwood), and a mate (Simpson), were buried the evening of the 18th, in a new burying-ground attached to a new church near the hospital. The other mate. named Couper, was buried at sea—a procession of boats being formed. As usual, the fever is most severe upon fast livers and spirit drinkers. The following are on shore, convalescent :—Edwards, chaplain ; Starr, Marine officer ; and Seccombe, clerk. It is the worst part of this disrase, that in all the fatal cases the patients are utterly prostrated at first, an d mad afterwards, so it is but rarely they can listen to any wo rds of spiritual c omfort. Our doctors say it is of little use to en courage the patients, and keep up their spirits : how ever, the hospital doctor, Denny, tells a different tale, and directly ascribes several deaths to low spirits. As to contagion, he says he cannot produce it ; and not a soul about the hospital has beeu touched, though they open all the bodies of the soldiers. He is an excellent man. Accordingly, I go among them with out fear, and they are always glad to be visited. I drink no wine or s p irits whatever, in spite o f th e doc tor's advice to do so, which has always been followed by the sharpest attacks whet?. fever has appeared. I eat sca rcely anymeat, and drink plenty of tea, coffee, soup, and limepice ; and lastly, I have, ever since we entered the tropics, had a thorough good wash, from head to f o ot, every night before turning in. tis fully estab rished that the fever is locally not personally contagious. All the doctors recommend that we be all landed, and EXTRAORDINARY DISASTERS AT SEA. (F We have been ion fu ' :n te i h she lv d i b e y ill o w ne l M of ail.) the officers of the Swordfish vessel with the following account of the dis asters that befel her on her recent voyage from Pernam- buco to this port, and as much sympathy has been manifested here, owing to the extreme sufferings of the crew and passengers, we have no doubt that it will be read with general interest : " Everything went on well from the time of leaving Pernambuco till the 20th of November. On the day previous the ship was running before the wind, under a close-reefed topsail, and a double-reefed main. On the morning of the 20th, however, she shipped a sea which half filled the cabin. EThe captain, mate, steward, and seven of the crew immediately commenced baling the water out, and got all dry about ten p.m. All were then busily employed in drying the cautain's and passengers' wearing apparel, and matters went on well until four o'clock on the morning of the 21st, when the wind be gan to blow fearfully and the sea to run moun tains high, with tremendous squalls from six to eight. The captain was then lashed, with the chain mizentop sails sheets, to the mizenmast, and gave directions how to steer the ship. As soon as opportunity offered the captain returned to the cabin. The after part of the ship was then out of water, and the helm could not ren der any service. The vessel was flying through the water at the rate of 16 knots an hour. Four of the most competent men were now chosen to steer—namely, the second mate, boatswain, and two seamen. The baro meter was down to 28k. It was impossible to look to windward, or yet walk the main deck, without being taken off by the wind or sea. The 'liveliness' of the Swordfish only saved all on board from destruction. The captain was now apprised that the fore-end of the ship was sinking fast. He had just gone to ascertain the truth, when the vessel was struck by a terrific sea, which disabled him and the majority of the crew. Several parts of the deck were also torn up by the force of the water, and the second mate promptly exerted himself to secure these by nailing over them canvas, while the steward paid attention to the requirements of the wounded, and again helped to bale out the cabin. The ship lost spars, masts, bowsprit, and galley; and, unfor tunately, the chief officer, by this awful sea, found an untimely grave, having been swept away. The vessel was pooped' by the first sea, which knocked the wheel. completely away, and the two seamen steering at the time were picked up in the fore part of the fore-cabin, apparently dead, They, however, have since slowly recovered. The same sea stove the after-cabin in most frightfully, and washed the passengers then in it into the fore cabin. They were all more or less injured, some being badly bruised, while others bled profusely. The second sea stove all the boats, and swept the decks ; while the third buried her completely under water. It was now thought all were going down for ever, but by laying hold of the fragments of the rigging the men held their footing on the deck—when the ves sel rose gallantly out of the water. The captain requested Mr. Brent, second officer, to look after the missing, which was forthwith done. Mr. Brent then swam to the pumps to see if they were clear. He found the cutter lying on them, and not having sufficient strength to move the boat he went for some of the crew to assist him, when he found a fellow, reputed brave under ordinary circumstances, rolled up in the steward's blankets in his room, and immediately thrust him out, and made him help to clear the boat. The ship, in the meantime, fell off, and hove round on the starboard tack. The passengers, it is needless to say, were in the utmost terror, believing there was no hope of life ; and they were all mixed together in the fore cabin, where many a fervent prayer to God was offered up for deliverance. The violence of the elements now began to abate, when their comfort could be attended to ; and the captain, „having some seameni_clothing_ou board ordereiL_the efre-wara to---,,,--,ve - rnem out to the lactrrassengers, and very grateful they were for such seasonable relief, every fire and light having been extinguished by the water for the two previous days, and the cold consequently most distressing. The captain's conduct was most praise worthy throughout the whole of the dreadful scene, and can only be fully appreciated by those who witnessed it, and who, under Providence, owe to his energy, that never for a moment tired, and his courage, that never quailed before the horrors of the ship's situation, their lives and restoration to their friends. He stood lashed on the deck all the time of danger, issued his orders with the utmost coolness, and forgot himself in his anxiety for the general welfare, scarcely partaking of even a morsel of food when offered it. The wreck was now cleared, and jurymasts erected, which occasioned several days' delay, during which time assistance could only be rendered by Mr. Brent and two of the seamen. Unfor tunately Mr. Brent got disabled shortly after. The Swordfish came from 46 lat. N., 20 W., to Tuskar, under jury masts, and ran from eight to nine knots an hour, passing several ships under full sail, bound up Channel. Off Tuskar she fell in with a northerly gale, which a second time knocked the wheel away, and also filled the cockpit, and carried off the main yard. Two men fell overboard from this yard. Luckily, it being day light, they were picked up. The following morning it became calm, and soon a steamer hove in sight. The ensign usual under such circumstances was hoisted, 10 rounds were fired from the guns, and though the steamer came so near that the man at the wheel could be plainly seen, yet she took no notice, but held on her course. Many of the seamen, in addition to their physical suffer ings, have lost all their clothes. The captain of the Empress, when he first discerned t he Swordfish, imme diately bore down for her, and rendered all the aid he possibly could. It has been stated that the wreck of the ship was occasioned by carrying on sail, but this is sim ply untrue. The captain was exceedingly cautious, con sidering what was before him ; and few ships deeply laden could have survived that terrible hurricane, the intensity of which [had never previously been expe rienced by the oldest hand on board." CHILD MURDER AT MANCHESTER.—An inquest was held yesterday, at the Chorlton Union Workhouse, Man chester, before Mr. Herford, borough coroner, on the body of a new-born male child, which had been baptised John Stott, but whose parentage was unknown. On Thursday week, late in the evening, a woman, named Ann Fox, living in Stott-street, Hulme, heard a strange cry at the back of her house. The noise continued at intervals, until a neighbour, named Ellen Lane , came and told ' Mrs. Fox that she thought there was something in the ashpit behind a house occupied by Mrs. Holl. The two women took a candle, and opened the door of the ashpit, the hinge of which was at the top, and found an infant lying on the ashes. It was crying, blood was issuing from its mouth, and there were marks about the neck as if had been pinched with the fingers. Mrs. Fox washed and clothed the child, but did not feed it, and it was then taken to the Charlton Town-hall by a police man. From there it was taken to Mr. Golland, sur geon to the Manchester police, whose residence is i n George-street, and then to the Chorlton Workhouse, i n Stretford-road, where it arrived about half-past 12. It gradually became worse, and died last Wednesday, It was observed that the child had g reat difficult y i n swal lowing, and on Sat urda y it vomited its foo d. Mr. Greaves, the surgeon a t the workhouse , said th e c hild appeared to have been born about 12 ho urs when it was found. He made a post mortal examination, and found all the organs in a healthy state, except the oesophagus, which lwas extremely congested opposite the seat of the external marks on the throat, which ) he had no doubt, were caused by the pressure of fingers. This accounted for the difficuty of swallowing. There was in fl amma tion of the lungs, which he believed to have been the imme diate cause of death, and attributable to cold and expo sure. The jury found a verdict of "Wilful murder aga i n st some person unk nown: , vigilant inquiries of the police, no clue has Notwithstanding obtained to the child's parenta ge . - ROYAL ACADEMY OF MUSIC.—The be en the ex amination of the candidates for the vacant King's scholarships took place at this institution on Monday, the 20th instant.
