Peel requests that the Secretary of the Ad miralty, to whom the letter is addressed, will move the Lords Commissioners to cause the expression of his thanks to be conveyed to Lieuts. Le Breton and Emra and the men under their command for the valuable services which they rendered on the occasion referred to. ller Majesty's surveying ship Nassau, commis sioned at Woolwich by Capt. Richard C. Mayne, yesterday received over her crew, and a detachment consisting of one corporal and seven privates Royal Marine Light Infantry, in readiness for sea. A letter received yesterday at Woolwich by Col. Maxwell, commanding the Royal Marines, acquaints the division that the director of education for the Admiralty has recommended that the attendance of non-commissioned officers at school after they have obtained a second-class certificate, should not be made compulsory, and that privates obtaining a second-class certificate should be excused from school in case of promotion, unless they may volunteer to attend. To carry out this proposal quarterly exa minations for certificates will in future be held, at which men, whether they have attended school or not, are to be encouraged to attend, a report being made to the director of education of the numbers of non commissioned officers and privates who will present themselves for examination in order that the questions in arithmetic and the papers for dictation may be sent down by Dr. Woolley, to whom the presenta tion books are to be sent for examination, the read ing being estimated by the chaplain or other officer selected by the candidate. TS PA PE R adoption of the following resolutioi, s AL 7; , " court, in accepting the resignation of Mnbil der.itan Mechi, desires to record on their proceedings their regret at the causes which have induced him to adopt the course he has taken, and at the same time to express their acknowledgments of the invariable at tention he has devoted to the duties of his position as a magistrate and as a sheriff of the City and of the county of Middlesex, and also for the courtesy and kindness he has at all times manifested to his brethren." (Loud applause.) Mr. Alderman SALMONS, M.P., claimed, as the next senior alderman in attendance, to second the resolution just moved by Sir J. Musgrove, with whose sentiments on this occasion he entirely con curred. The services of Mr. Alderman Medd in the cause of agricultural improvements had been universally acknowledged ; and he (Alderman Salo mons) only regretted he had not remained amongst them in order that, on attaining the chief magistracy, he might, as Lord Mayor, have received the agricul tural body as guests at the Mansion House. There could be no doubt that Mr. Mechi had been a most useful man, not only in the county in which he re sided, but also in the metropolis, where he had hon ourably discharged many important public duties, and therefore he deserved well of this court, of which he had been so long a member. But Mr. Mechi had a further claim upon their recognition of him. He had been seen by them under most trying circumstances, but even then no individual had at tempted to raise the finger against him as having done anything unworthy of his character as a man of honour. (Hear, hear.) He only retired from a feeling of true delicacy, that should he retain his gown and succeed to the office of Lord Mayor, he could not maintain that office with that degree of dignity and extent of hospitality which had charac terised some of his predecessors in that high posi tion. He was a worthy example as an honourable man, and it was with the greatest pleasure and satisfaction that he (Mr. Alderman Salomons) seconded the resolution. (Applause.) The resolution, briefly supported by Mr. Alder man Rose and Mr. Alderman. Finnis, was carried unanimously, and ordered to be drawn up, signed by the 'town clerk, and forwarded to Mr. Mechi. The formal record of the acceptance of the resig nation was then directed, and the Lord Mayor was requested to issue his precept for the election of an alderman for the ward of Lime-street, in the place and stead of Mr. John Joseph Mechi,.resigned. This terminated the proceedings, and the court adjourned. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUG UST 7, 1866. THE WELLINGTON, ST. JAMES'S-STREET (Entrance 160, Piccadilly). Set Dinners as usual.

The plans for the - Farious new works and alterations in the existing buildings, docks, &c., were all laid before their Lordships, who at the outset expressed their wish that ony those absolutely requisite to promote the efficiency of the service should be submitted to them. After carefully going through the various proposals by the different heads of departments, only a por tion of the number were approved, with the view to their being carried into effect, their lordships subse quently satisfying themselves by a personal inspection of the several localities that the improvements and alterations were imperatively called for. After spend ing some time in this portion of their duties, the mem bers of the Board quitted the office, and proceeded on a visit to the various vessels building and fit ting, the large ironclad frigate Hercules, recently commenced in No. 2 graving -dock, claiming their first attention. During the short interval which has elapsed since the keel of this vessel was laid down she has made the most rapid progress, and although the first piece of iron for her construction was lowered into the dock so recently as the 21st of June last, the vessel is now almost entirely in frame, and a considerable portion of her double cellular-bottom is already completed—a rate of progress, it was re marked, which was without a parallel in iron ship building. The Hercules is being built on the broad side principle,. while her designs, as produced by Mr. Reed, show that she will surpass every other vessel of her class in the elements of strength and offensive and defensive powers. She is to be con structed of Bin. of exterior armour-plates, laid on a backing of 12in. of teak, behind which will be worked plating of liin. in thickness over 26in. of teak and the ordinary Via. inner iron skin. Some idea of the enormous strength may be formed by a comparison of the Hercules and the Warrior, the latter having a maximum weight of 4271 b. per square foot ; while the weight of the former will be 7371 b. per square foot. It is intended that the Hercules, which will probably be the last of that class of ships the present Admiralty will sanction the construction of, shall be ready for sea within a couple of years. The dock adjoining that in which the Hercules is under construction was intended, several months since, for the new double turret-ship Monarch, to be laid down and built from Mr. Reed's designs, but up to the present time nothing has been done in the way of building that vessel, the unavoidable delay hav ing arisen in consequence of the nature of the works required to be undertaken in order to obtain the requisite additional length of dock. There is now, however, every probability of the works which have engaged the engineering staff of the dock yard several months being completed, and in order that no unnecessary delay might arise it was explained to their Lordships that the keel of the Monarch is being constructed alongside the dock ready for lowering into its place as soon as the dock is ready for its reception. The only wooden unarmoured vessel now building at Chatham is the Blanche, ono of a class of vessels of the Amazon type, designed by Mr. E. J. Reed, the Chief Constructor of the Navy, but already it would appear that the Admiralty have decided on making some important alterations in her character and form, conspicuous among which will be the dispensing with the low underwater protrud ing stem, by which it is anticipated that additional fineness will be imparted to her bow, which, from her appearance yesterday, will still present the bluff shaped stem, receding inboard. After spending some short time in inspecting the Blanche and conferring with the master-shipwright as to the character of the deviations from the original designs of this vessel, their Lordships next visited the slip on which the two-decker line-of-battle screw steamer Bulwark has been lying for a great number of years, about one-third completed. One of the last acts of the late Board of Admiralty was to direct plans, draw ings, and estimates to be prepared for converting this vessel into au armour-plated ship. As this, however, will snake it necessary to remove at least one of her decks and to cut her down, while after all she will, if completed, be nothing more than a makeshift for au ironclad, it is not probable that her alteration , at least in the form originally contemplated, will be carried into effect. The small gun vessel Myrmi don, also lying idle on the stocks, was next visited by their Lordships, who also went on board the screw corvette Reindeer, 200 horse-power, one of the latest and most improved forms of the corvette class of steamers. She is now rapidly approach ing completion for her first commission, and will be ready for undocking at the end of the present month. The new system of working iron in con siderable quantities into a wooden vessel has been adopted to a considerable extent in the case of this vessel, with the most satisfactory results. After leaving the Reindeer the members of the board pro ceeded through the smithery, and inspected the new machinery and additional ponderous steam ham mers recently erected, to be used in the preparation of the iron required in the construction of the new ironclad ships now building, as well as those con templated. The latest addition to this department of the dockyard includes a large steam hammer of a size considerably greater than any hitherto in use at either of the Royal dockyards. Completing their inspection of the smiths' shops, their lordships re turned through the yard to the official residence of Cant.-Superintendent Stewart, where they lunched. In the afternoon they left the dockyard for the Royal Marine Barracks, when the whole of the officers and men of the division were drawn up on the parade-ground, under the command of Colonel Commandant J. 0. Travers, C. 8., with the divi sional and Queen's colours and the band. On the arrival of their Lordships, who were received by General Stransham, the parade gave the usual salute with the colours in front, the band playing " Rule Britannia." After witnessing the officers and men execute a few manoeuvres, and visiting a portion of the barrack quarters, they proceeded to inspect the men's quarters, mess-room, and the new range of buildings just completed adjoinining the Marine Barracks, and intended as quarters for the officers of the corps. The buildings occupy a portion of the dockyard appropriated by the Admiralty for that purpose, and they are exceedingly commodious and handsome, the whole, when completed and the intervening buildings removed, forming a continuation of the present barracks. Their Lord ships next visited the Royal Naval Hospital at Mel ville, where they were joined by the Naval Com mander-in-Chief, Vice-Admiral Sir Baldwin W. Walker, and having spent a short time at that es tablishment they proceeded to the gun-shed battery, where they witnessed the officers and gunners of the Royal Marines exercise at the great gun drill, in working and manoeuvring the great ship guns, with which the battery is furnished. At the close of the day's inspection, which was prolonged until late in the afternoon, their lordships returned to the dock yard, where Admiral Sir John hay inspected the storehouses and some other departments. In the evening their lordships entertained a select party at dinner on board their steam yacht Enchantress, in Chatham-harbour, sleeping on board last night. They will resume and bring to a close their inspec tion at Chatham to-day, proceeding afterwards in the Enchantress to Sheerness, to visit the naval es tablishments at that station.

The quarantine on arrivals from Leghorn has been re moved, and the authorities being in possession of that o ffi c ial information Tuscany was free from cholera or any epidemic disease whatever. A period of quarantine of 15 full days is, however, still en forced on vessels arriving from Marseilles, on account 1 of the continued prevalence of cholera in that city. The present members of the . Board of Admiralty arrived at Chatham yesterday for the purpose of making their first official inspection of the dockyard and the several naval establishments at the port.

(From the Times Military Correspondent) RAILWAY TRAIN, NEAR EHRENITAUSEN. August 1. If two armies are operating in combination, the one on the Danube, the other on the Po, the line by which I am now travelling through the valley of the Muhr, or Mura, and the road through the same valley, become of the highest importance, as being by far the easiest means of communication with Vienna and affording valuable points of concentra tion. From news this moment received, that all public trains cease to run after this evening, and that 29 military trains are to pass southwards from Vienna as fast as steam can urge them, it is not difficult to determine that Italy has rejected the proffered terms and will content herself with nothing less than the whole of the Southern Tyrol and Styria, if, indeed, her demands stop short of Trieste. All posts are to be stopped after this morning, and if this letter succeeds in reaching England it will be the last for some days. No General who knows anything of the art of war could doubt for a mo ment that Austria will send troops by this route, nor that it will probably become the real point of interest in the ensuing campaign, so no harm can be done to the Austrian cause by mentioning what is written above, and besides the telegraph will have informed England from Vienna before this letter can reach home. The river D rave has two sources, fed by the Styrian and Carnic Alps, it flows through Carinthia, opening a passage through the mountains ; passes by Lintz, Villach, the terminus of the railway from Marburg, and the roads from Saltzburg, Innsbruck, Trent, Vienna, and with Venice and the south by Tarvis ; flows near Klagenfurt, the chief town of Carinthia, past Marburg on the road and railway to Vienna, waters the fortified town of Warasdin, whence a road leads north to Vienna, and south to the eastern shores of the Adriatic. Its further course, till it falls into the Danube, is foreign to our present purpose. As it rises not far from the sources :of the Adige, the valleys of the two rivers have afforded the means of communication between Botzen, where the railway from the Quadrilateral and the road from Innspruck over the Brenner Pass meet, and Villach, the terminus of the railway from Marburg, and thence north and south. Thus the valley of the Drave opens a route sweeping round behind the Alps, which frown over the fertile plains of the dis puted territory, and;is connected by radiating roads and railways with the Quadrilateral, Vicenza, Padua by Cittadella, Venice by Treviso, and Trieste by Tarvis or the Vienna Railway. A greatarmy might lie hid on this road and stand ready to concentrate by the two railroads and the passes named above, or, sending a large force round by its flank, operate on the communications of an en emy who has thrust himself too far forward. Without pretending to any special information, I think the latter course not improbable, and as the Italians are not likely to suffer the Archduke to reach the Quadrilateral without interruption, the Trieste side may, I think, be watched with interest as the probable direction in which the first great shock of the armies may be expected. The Austrian tactics, directed since the war of 1859 to the one object of encountering Italian, and possibly French, soldiers, are suited to the genius of the warlike races which compose this heterogeneous army. Every inch of the soil has been carefully studied, and either Austria will beat the Southerners or she must give up all title to the name of a great mili tary Power. If time and permission be afforded I will visit the fleet first, and pick up what is to be gleaned concerning its armament. Court of Aldermen.

The TOWN C LEEK read the following letter, which had been addressed to the Lord Mayor by Mr. Alderman Mechi _......._----__ . " Victory House, Aug. 2. "My dear Lord Mayor,—Having determ ined to retire from City honours, I bog you will bo kind enough to com municate the fact to my brother aldermen, and to convoy to them my best wishes for their health and welfare. , .. J. J. MECIII. ' (Signed) The Town Clerk added that the letter was accoin paniedAlderman Mechi. i s u e t , somehmi having expression sairodn to o f t f l e l e e l i p n a g s : n ser vices Alderman Sir J. MUSGROVE, Bart., at once rose, and said that, as the senior alderman present., he begged to suggest that his resignation ought not to by a formal resignation of his gown by Mr. matter by the magistracy of the city of London. Il e thought his brethren around him would scarcely de_ s b ir e e re to ce vices of Mr. Alderman Mechi, who as . a public man had done much more than discharge • his duties as a d iv o ed ot:l v ie it r i : magistrate of the City. In the cause and promotion of agriculture their colleague had done much good, and he (Alderman Musgrove) as an agriculturist himself, felt thankful to him for his publication of very many useful little works on that subject.. (Hear, hear.) In addition to these claims, Mr. Mechi merited their thanks for his services as a magistrate, and the manner in which he fulfilled his duties, not only as an alderman, but as a fellow citizen. In the belief that these sentiments pervaded the body he now addressed, he should move the Agricultural Prospects. Last week opened with some heavy showers at intervals, with the wind from the south-west; but with the night fine, and strong breeze. Monday was a fine breezy day, wind north-west, thermometer in the morning 62 deg., and 68 at noon ; barometer 29-80 in. Tuesday was a wet day, with a much lower temperature, and most unfavourable for har vest work, which had commenced more generally the previous day in all the early districts. Our advices were as follows :—From the east coast of Scotland :—" The wheat crop on the ground at present seems to be almost universally acknow ledged as nothing more than an average at best ; still supplies from the Baltic seem pouring in, and reports of the crops on the Continent sound less unfavourable than formerly. After a heavy fall of rain we have sunshine and a return to a warmer temperature." From the West Riding of York shire :—" Since I wrote to you on Friday the wea ther has continued showery and unsettled, with heavy rain and wind last night, and it is still squally and rough. The crops are much laid and twisted about in this neighbourhood ; but I trust this wea ther has not extended far, at least not the wind, though the rain will do much good, and was greatly needed." From Suffolk :—" The weather has be come very dull and unsettled ; our corn comes to maturity gradually, but well. The absence of sun keeps harvest back, and it will be quite three weeks before new wheat is sold on our market. The ap pearance of the crops is generally improving." Wednesday was a doubtful morning; but the day held up, and was much warmer than the previous one, so that cutting would go on steadily. From the west coast of Scotland our advices stated : " The weather was fine yesterday and to-day, though not settled, after heavy rains on the three previous days." Thursday was a wet, warm, and a muggy day, with a very close and thick atmosphere, which preyed a most unfavourable one for the pro gress of harvest. Our advices were as follow from Suffolk, near the coast :—" Since Friday last, with the exception of yesterday, the weather has been unsettled, cold, gloomy, and wet ; luckily the crops at present are not dead-ripe ; this temperature will effectually check premature ripeness, and quite prevent any early lots of wheat coming to market. Wheat-cutting has partially commenced in this district, but will not be general for another ten days ; so that, with the most favourable weather, we shall have but little at market dur ing this mouth." From the interior of f Suffolk : " Since last Friday there has been a great change of temperature, and some quantity of rain has fallen, which has much hindered the commencement of harvest operations. Several fields of wheat are, however, cut, and, with a return of fine weather the harvest will be general. From Surrey : "The harvest here is progressing most favourably ; all the early fields of Talavera wheat are being cut, and the rye, also early pieces of barley. Next week I expect most of the wheat will be cut around here, and in Sussex a good deal will be done ; as also some parts of Hampshire, near the sea coast. Altogether, I think favourably of the crops in these three counties, particularly as compared with appearance some six or eight years ago ; and in Wiltshire, Dorset, and further west a great improvement had taken place. The weather has been showery for the last day or two, but the fall has done more good than harm altogether." From Buckinghamshire : " Wheat reaping is now general in our neighbourhood ; the quantity and quality very much. My own crop is much laid, and will be full two sacks per acre below that of last year. Beans, peas, oats, and barley aro poor. Fine weather is noNN much wanted to enable the reapers to get on with their work." Friday was slightly showery, and a somewhat unfavourable har vest day. Our advices were, from the east coast of Yorkshire : "The weather since our last has been very unfavourable, a great quantity of rain has fallen, with a low temperature and little sun. The crops are much laid in the district, and a continu ance of the present untoward weather for even a few days longer would be very detrimental to the coming harvest." From Lincolnshire : " The weather is ex ceedingly wet ; though as harvest has not yet com menced here, it is not of so much consequence. The grain does not ripen much, and harvest seems no nearer this week than last. At present no damage is the crops, and m a ki ng t h em d one beyond lodging worse for harvesting; but if rain should continue, the prostrate crops would soon sprout, and, any way, the q uality of the large crops must be affected." From Devonshire, in the neighbourhood of Exeter: "A large extent of corn cut, and a considerable amount stacked ; but as the weather has been unsettled and threatening, without, however, coining to much rain, wheat has been stacked, instead of standing out long enough to be thrashed in the field. This will defer the appearance of new wheat in our market. Some slight showers fell on Saturday ; but a brisk wind all the day would do good in every respect, and a large breadth of corn would be cut down and soon ready for the stack, or if fine weather should prevail, some of it may be thrashed in the fields, and brought to market in fair grindable condition." Our advices are, and will no doubt continue to be, of great interest at this most important period, on the turn of which so much depends even in a na tional point of view.—Mark-lane Express (of yes terday).

The above named pills are designed for this very purpose, and ad mirably have they hitherto fulfilled their office. Their purifying virtues being combined with the surest aperient qualities not only free the circulation from every taint, but release the circulation from all unassimilated matter and relieve every organ and the system generally from derang ingicauses. In children, and for all whose health from birth has been delicate, Holloway's pills are peculiarly ap propriate, because they act mildly, are greatly laxative, and highly salutary to the bowels. "711
