It is, therefore, no matter of out prise that he should enjoy the reputation of being a most dexterous arid skilful manipu ator with urethral instruments ; and when it is remembered that the lamented Liston used to assert that the introduction of instruments through a stricture which bad previously been impermeable to them, was the most difficult in the whole ranee of surgical operations, it must be no slight source of gratification on Mr. ourtenay's part to have achiebed the reputation he has in this res tect ; and for our part, with the knowledge we have of his experience, we know of no man to whose care we would with greater confidence entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture of the urethra."—Medical Circu'ar.

No day of sailing is yet even " reported " for the fleet. Ins number is daily increased. The Caesar, 91, Cap tain Robb, joined yesterday afternoon. The Hastings, 60, new screw block-ship, Captain Caffin, was going out of Portsmouth harbour yesterday, but after a few revolutions of her e» gives she stopped and moored again to her hulk. The James Watt, 91, Captain Elliott, was removed from the st2am basin yesterday and placed alongside a hulk to take in her sea stores, &c. The Centaur, 6, Captain Clifford, is ready to join, and will go to Spithead to-day. The Hogue, 60, Captain Ramsay, is also ready this day.

The Neptune, 120, Captain Hutton, was paid wages down to the 31st of January last, at Spithead yesterday. The Basilisk, 6, paddle sloop, Commander Jenner, was docked in No. 2 dock yesterday to repair a leak. In consequence of an order issued by the Lords of the Ad miralty, to the effect that every ship in the fleet proem, ling to the Baltic shall carry as large a quantity of provisions as they can conveniently stow, great activity prevails in the Royal victualling yards at Deptford and Gosport. Extensive con tracts have likewise been entered into by the Government for the supply of 2,000 tierces of beef and pork, and large quanti ties of suet, flour, peas, tea, cocoa, sugar, Valentia raisins, rum, vinegar, and limejuice. A provision depot is to be esta blished in Leith Roads, and another at the Dockyard at Deal, at which places vessels belonging to the North Sea, Baltic, or Channel squadrons can be supplied. It is also intended to establish a victualling store at Heligoland for the same par- Pose. We also stated, some days since, that to each of these 20 sail of the line a screw gun-boat would be attached. We have reason to believe that the arrangement at present is as follows, so that each line-of-battle ship will form a squadron : We now append what we believe will be the screw force (ships of the line)—at least, the first fleet, together with the screw gun-boats attached : Ships of the Line.

Circumstances have come to light from which there is every reason to believe that this unfortunate animal was drugged or poisoned just before starting for the Liverpool Steeplechase, wherein, it will be remembered, she had the misfortune to meet her death. At half-past one o'clock on the day of the race her owner, accompanied by two or three other gentlemen, saw her in the stable, lively as a kitten, but when pbroughte her re usual s n u c a l o l s fl u i r . e in e_, though l oo king well in fact, had no ,‘ go" in con dition, she appeared heavy a n d dull, aid when moun t e d, gp her. At the request of Mr. Mason, Mr, L ucas , of Liverpool, analysed the contents of her stomach, after death, when the intestines, liver, and lungs were found t o b e in a perfectly healthy state ; but in the stomach a pi n t an d a half of rod liquid matter, of a chemical nature, w as :di scovere d, which, it will be proved, from the place wherein it was s e creted, must have been administered within a. short p er i o d of starting for the race. The stomach and its content s are now in the hands of Mr. Brett, the celebrated analytical chemist of Liverpool, for further examination, and u p on his r eport, the conduct of the case, upon which Mr. M ason i s a dvised by Mr. Edwin James, Q.C. , will depend. That it will be fully i nves ti g ated the public may :est assur e d ; an d it i s t o be hoped the guilty parties will not escape d e t ec tion.

The first resolution, expressing the deep sorrow of the meeting at the decease of the late nobleman, 'and of,it; respect for his metaory, was pro _ an d supported by the R ev .

THE NEWSPAPER STAMP DUTY.—We have reason to believe that Vie Government does not anticipate that its bill for an alteration of the law of newspaper stamps wig be cArried through the house. Within the last few days the Secretary of the Treasury has received from r.everal of the usual supporters of the Ministry distinct intimations that the pressure of local opinion from their respective constituencies will compel them to vote against the Government on the question. We may add, from our own personal knowledge, that, although . the Con servative party will not be organized in opposition, vet the leaders of the party will individually oppose t . h ts e , b - ill, or propose such amendments as will destreyi mis chievous tendency. The tenour of thesee re amendmentstold, to do we do not know ; but.their object away with the present embarrassin i g s, b d u Tti t n o a c i t .e io ta r i s u b n e i t l we ti e l l e i news journals and literary papers publications ; which the stamp obstacles to a low class of . o ( f fo w r li t i which notice was given by Mr. Dee des and the security system involv d e.

Of the various proceedings now in contemplation for im proving which the efficiency of our laud for ce s, and auenting the military power of the coun t ry, t h ere is none to greater importance should be attached than to the project of the new establishment at Aldershott. This scheme, if carried out Ac cording to design, will go far beyond the encampment at Chobham. That represented simply a military parade on a large and novel scale, which contributed something, indeed, to the instruction of the troops actually engaged, but which left few durable traces in the constitution or organisation of the British army. The soldiers went to Chobham, re mained there a few weeks, and then returned to their former habits and quarters, She whole spectacle disappearing from the face of the country before the close of the autumn' But the casejwill be very different in the experiment now con ceived, which marks the institution of an entirely new system. For the future, it is intended to collect our troops as much as possible in large barracks, so as to dispense with the use of isolated quarters, to preclude tho necessity of billeting, and to provide both officers and men with the means of studying the practical duties of their profession on something more than a regimental scale. With these views 1 75,0001. have been assigned to the erection of huts sufficient to accommo date 50,000 men, which huts, though professedly of a tempo rary character, are to be substantial enough to serve for souse years. Of these buildings, as many as will contain 20,000 men are to be raised at Aldershott, at which spot also permanent barracks are to be coustructel, at a cost of no less than 250,0031. Altogether, therefore, upwards of 300,000/. will be expended at Alderihott in military lodgings, and, as 20,000 Militia will go into the huts, while the barracks, when completed, will be occupied by 10,000 regulars of all arms, infantry, cavalry, and artillery, we may have some 30,000 troops massed together for a considerable period, and 10,00') stationed there permanently. The result will give not merely a temporary camp, like that at Chobham, but a regular establishment—a station representing the consolidation of ten or twenty dif ferent barracks, and embodying a new system of military training, It is - Understood that this establishment is likely to be framed to some extent upon the model of that at Beverloo, and such a resolution would be very reasonable, inasmuch as this Belgian camp embodies more closely than any other esta blishment the designs which we have in contemplation. In other Continental States where there are large garrisons and fortresses the practice is to call out numerous bodies of troops—perhaps, 50,000 or 60,000 men at a time— for exercise and manoeuvres at certain seasons of the year, but I this system would evidently] not be ladapted to our own resources or requirements. Our object is to communicate to a - dempapativety small army a high degree of organisation, by exercising simultaneously such divisions of it as are likely to be available for such duty, and in this respect the model of the Belgian barracks might aus ,wer our views. Beverloo is situated in the province of Limburg, not far from Hasselt, in the middle of which sandy and Liesolate-looking country a permanent camp has been formed' for the accommodation and instruction of some 15,000 men. buildings thero erected comprise both barracks and huts,, are complete in all their arrangements, and form, we believ,t, the only establishment of the kind in Europe— something between a regular garrison and a temporary en campment. The design of the Belgian Government seems to have bee la to give the soldiers of their army, w h o are mostly youuj, and enlisted for a limited term of service, the means of acquiring good military training on a large scale, and' to habituate them, in a permanent school of instruction, to those concerted manoeuvres of field duty which convey an idea of actual service. It is obvious that from l'uildings actually erected and arrangements devised for this pu.Tose there may be very much for us to learn. It is on the disciplio,O., however, and practices observed in the new camp, that so asuch will be found to turn. When suitable plans have been tobtained, the erection of the neces sary buildings will be a work of very little trouble, though, perhaps, we may gain in more respects than one by enlisting the talents of civil enginec arts in the construction of our mili tary edifices. But results of the greatest importanc3 will at. tach to that system of instr uction adopted. We presume that Aldershott has not been sele eted without reference to its natu ral advantages, as offering 'pod ground for manoeuvres,— as we gild enable all the v a r i ous arms such ground, in short, of the service to be handled with effect. We happen just now to have only too complete an idea of the qualities in which our soldiers are apt to be found deficient. The princi pal requisites of military excellent ,e theYlKossess in an eminent degree. They are valiant, endurh V, Patient, and steady be yond example, but they have never been taught to provide dexterously for their personal wants tinder circumstances of difficulty, or to perform those minor clOties of outposts, &c., which the presence of an enemy creates. In addition to this, the regiments have never been safilcientl:y accustomed to act in concert, and, as the several corps were n ever, except for a few weeks at Chobham, fused into may semblance of an army, it followed almost inevitably that the auxiNia ry departments of the service hal no experience of what art army requires. In this respect even Chobham was not turned to so much advantage as it might have been, and it is in the hope that the omission will be rectified at Aldershott ',that we have called public attention to the subject. The general principles which should regulate ou rprooeedings are, we think, tolerably clear. Of course, the o rdinary drill should not be neglected ; but it is not in this respect that our troops have ever been found deficient. What is required is, that the men should be accustomed to more sustained and varied bodily exercise, so as to develope their muscailar ener gies; that demands should be made ou their individual in telligence, so as to give them greater self-reliance and more resources in difficulty; and that they should be taughtsllthe expedients of cooking, mending, patching, and haztting, which may stand them in good stead another day. Perhaps it may be thought that if we thus train our troops to depend upon themselves, instead of looking to the Commissariat for everything, we can scarcely be taking the best course to make the Commissariat itself more effi cient ; but this dilemma is more apparent than real. We do not propose that the soldiers should be taught to go out and buy flour, or bring iu cattle, or that the Commissariat ' should be relieved from the duty of collecting supplies. We simply think that it will be for the advantage of the troops if they are trained to provide their own meals instead of re ceiving them ready for their mouths, while the piactice which we anticipate for the Commissariat is exactly that which the occasion itself cannot fail to fur nish. If twenty thousand or thirty thousand men am col le,eted together there must nocesarily be work for the officers whose duty, it is to see that such a force is supplied with provisions, and it is, no doubt, in a great measure be cause such experience was not obtainable before that the de partments of the army which should minister to the efficiency of the fighting men were found deficient in organisation and rigour. We want, in short, some such practice as shall place before all branches of the profession the incidents of acmal service and the exigencies of a considerable army. The estab lishment at Aldershott will give us the opportunities desired, and we hope they may be turned to good effect in the ease both of the Militia and the Line. REPRESENTATION OF LIVERPOOL.—The writ arrived yesterday in Liverpool. The nomination will take place on Tuesday, and the polling on Wednesday. Sir S. G. Bonham, who offers himself on Tory principles, has at tended a meeting of the electors. He commenced by stating that he had had experience in mercantile pursuits, and expressed a hope that he should be able to render service to the town. The candidate then avowed him self ncpoinetsot that r te a b e pre follower strictly sent Conservative.o Emperor p o e rd ro r D f r Derby Der, t a ses n ri d ag s li a i i d ns g h l i ak s ne p l yo r p i t n io- - follow out the policy of his father, the speaker expressed his belief that if Lord Derby had been in power there would not have been any war. He added that he re gretted and detested that war, but now he preferred to go on with it rather than have a hollow truce. Sir Samuel then touched upon some local topics. His address was frequently interrupted by laughter and noise. In reply to a question as to whether he would vote for the restoration of Poland, Sir S. G. Bonham said that the restoration of Poland did not depend on England alone ; it depuided on a great many other countries. (Hear, hear.) It would depend very much on the result of the present war, and until they knew what that result was it was impossible to tell what could ho done. He could give no other answer. It must depend on cir cumstances which had not yet arisen. A resolution was then passed, to the effect that Sir S. G. Benham was a fit and proper person to represent the borough, and pledging the meeting to use every legal means to secure his election. A large meeting of Liberal elect )rs was held at the Theatre Royal last night, at which measures were taken to secure, if possible, the return of Mr. J. C. Ewart. IMPORTANT TO CONSIGNEES.—LIVERPOOL, March 23. —A. few days ago the ship Royal Victoria, Wintering ham master, arrived at this port from Charleston with a cargo of cotton consigned to Mr. James Beazley, of 13, Red Cross-street. The bill of lading, presented by a broker in the town, who had received it from the ship per indirectly, represented the cargo to consist of 121 bales ; but it was noticed that the words " ogle hundred ' and" appeared to be in a different handwriting ; and, on reference to the master's copy, it was ascertained that they had been introduced after he had signed and delivered it to the shipper, "C. Nichols," of Charleston, and that in reality the cargo consisted only of 31 bales. It was then elicited that Nichols had himself prepared the bill, leaving ample margin on the document for the insertion of additional words ; —a :1- IsA:nr,n/1 would obtain an advance upon the document from some banking or mercantile house. From inquiries since in stituted it has been further ascertained that the bills of lading for the cargoes of other cotton ships which l e ft Charleston for Liverpool about the same time h ave b een similarly altered. The Lalla Rookh, for instance, con signed than the quan tity Co.,sign hedad to 00 3 Messrs. bales Fraser, e less r eonn boardy and C o. , holln Sarah Ann, consigned to Mess rs . J . S. )e and the Wolfe and stated in the bill of lading, and on reference wordsmas ter'sto! S t hpasd have been been introduced, taken to the mas ter's copies it was found th a t the additional e numbers and to as secure ia th thep ea : e pe Mr. Nichols , if th a t person has not e renow seen to his own safety. Ni c h o l s was formerly master of a cotton apprehension a , l i l o u n de o alluded ship himself, but had for some time past occupied the . position of broker in Charleston. NOTTINGIIAM TRADE.—In lace business, although we cannot say that any improvement has occurred in the state of the demand, spinners and holders of material tell us th a t th ere has this week been an increased demand for these, and consequently a movement must have en!. sued in our long stagnant manufacturing actlvity. This is, however, accounted for rathe r fro m the anx ie t y of our manufacturers to coax the market with something in the shape of novelty, which may obtain a start along w ith the sin • s- fashions. Still the real mainsprings of busi ness are inactive, and our leading merchants are waiting the turn sf affairs, in expectation of the usua l reasonable o p e rations —to winch 1 the weath e r h as certainly not hitherto proved propitious. The lace trade, it will be seen, if fully represented ; and when it is represented that our cheap and beautiful machine-made laces, which have holicrts been contraband in France, will thus be ari -1 in'tted extensively, and as the leading and characteristic feature of this class of British products, for the first time at 20 per cent. duty, we do not doubt, and our merchants do not seem to doubt, that the result must be ofim portance to this country, and may probably open up to us a new market. They feel convinced that even at 25 per cent. duty, they could successfully compete with the laces of Carnbray and Calais, and sell in France a far cheaper and better article of the same class of British produce. Some of the job sales that have recently been forced on the London market, for instance, are of French goods, and these have generally been taken at a price equivalent to that of some of our bobbin-net goods though only such as are ; produced by the warp-machine —Net ivkamshire Gilvdian. ;PAETMENT.
