It is, therefore, no matter of surprise that he should enjoy the reputation of being a most dexterous and skilful maniptf 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 range of surgical operations, it must be no slight source of gratification on Mr. Courtenay's part, to have achieved the reputation he has in this res )ect ; and for our part, with the knowledge we have of his experience, we know of no man to whose care would with greater confidence entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture of the urethra."—Medical Circular.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, ehich have proauced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any Jther class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is erticularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there aro erinciples of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties nay be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, ted how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, that there la scarcely any deeree of physical infirmity or functional lerangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. rheAuthor has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive oactice in the treatment of these delicate comp'aints, which have anfortunately been too generally confided to the taro of ignorant !meirice, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in their pretensions.

The dates are those given in our telegraphic summary of Saturday last :—Calcutta, Feb. 10 ; Bombay, 17 ; Canton, Jan. 21 ; Hong Kong, 22 ; Shanghai, 16. The following is from the summary of the Bombay Times : Perfect tranquillity reigns throughout India, and there is every prospect of its long continuing to do so. Some time since it was stated that Tagshund, in the Kokan, had been occupied by the Russians; whereas we are now assured that Tagshund had not been occupied by them, and that no Russians are within two hundred miles of the place. A force has certainly arrived within some days' march of Khiva, but no Russian agent has been within reach of that town. The Shah of Persia is unremitting in his endeavours to effect an alliance with Dost Ma homed. The latter some time since sent one of his courtiers on a secret political mission to Persia; he lately returned to Cabul with costly presents from the Shah to the Dost, and a gracious and flattering letter, in which, among other things, the Ameer promises to restore all the territory wrested from Cabul by Persia. The Meer anzaie expedition has not left Peshawur, but arrange ments are in progress for its departure. The mountain train had been warned for service, as well as a com pany of European artillery. Our advices from Burmah are to the 23d ultimo. Orders have been issued by the commissioner for two vessels to be in readiness in June next to proceed to Ava, whither the ambas ,sackorft„h4. already_scno t They,were so hard pressed for money at Ita,ngoo'n, previous to theirrettrrfrto Ava; - that one of them was necessitated to sell a handsome gold watch, presented to him by the Governor-General, for 120 rupees, about a fourth of its value. The Oude territories continue to be distracted by internal feuds. The state of affairs all over this country is grave and menacing. Several engagements have taken place, in one of which the enemy lost 60 killed, and the Govern ment troops only 12. At the capital Col. Outram was winning golden opinions, the king and people both feel ing satisfied with and reposing confidence in the Resi dent's sound and impartial judgment. It is reported that the long-talked-of annexation of Oude will take place shortly, and that a pension of half the revenue realised from the Oude territories will be granted to the king. Nothing of importance has transpired lately in the Nizam's country. The Resident has re turned to the capital from a short tour in the ceded dis tricts. At Calcutta the two great events to be recorded are the opening of the Exhibition, and the official inau guration of the Railway. The distance to Burdwan and back-132 miles—was accomplished in six hours. The Legislative Council performs business regularly with open doors, and the debates are invariably published in the newspapers. Lord Dalhousie proceeds to the Neilgherries solely on account of ill-health, and is daily expected at Madras, from whence he will proceed down the coast, making the journey overland from the nearest point to the Blue Mountains. The Bank of Bengal has raised its rates, the advances being caused principally by the despatch of a large quantity of silver to Bombay and the Eastern ports. Government, it is said, have it in contemplation to open a new Four per Cent. loan almost immediately, and this will have the effect of still further inenasing the strain upon the money market. The Madras Railway is proceedingly rapidly apace. COAIMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. BOMBAY, FEB. 15. We are sorry to report a further decline on almost every description of British manufactures, as noticed by the sales reported during the past fortnight. Each succeeding sale of shirtings shows a decline of : 1 2 - to 1 auna per piece, or in all nearly 2to 3 annas during the fortnight. Holders still show much arxiety to sell, and the buyers take advantage of low rates. The business transacted is on a very large extent, especially in grey goods. Cotton has declined slightly in value ; some lots of Dhollera have been purchased at Re. 68 to 70, and Broach can be purchased at Its. 76 per candy, but not of good quality. New cotton has not yet arrived ; and the good descriptions have suffered much by the recent unseasonable weather. Money continues in good demand, and, although by no means abundant, can still be had on easier terms than for merly. Exchange on the arrival of the China Mail reached 2s. lad., but has since gradually declined, and may now be quoted 2s. ON. for credit, and 2s. ld. to 2s. ltd. for docu ments, The rate of freight to London has gone up to Si. 15s. for cotton, and 4/. for linseed to Liverpool. This rise is owing to some vessels having been taken by government for conveying troops and invalids. To China we quote Rs. 18 per candy. _ . _ CALCUTTA, FEB. 8. We are still unable to report any improvement in our market for British cotton piece goods. The demand con tinues languid, and there is little inclination on the part of native dealers to enter into any transactions of moment. What is occasionally taken is to supply immediate wants, and although the advises from the up-country markets are net unfavourable, the increasing tightness of the money market and a few failures amongst the native merchants have created seine alarm, and induced dealers to curtail their operations for a time. There have not been many buyers of bills on England, and the transactions reported are rather limited; in con sequence of which the rates since the departure of the last mail have partially advanced. Scotch Bank bills at 90 days' sight have been placed at 2s. 03d. Oriental Bank bills at six Months 2s. 03d. Baring and Brown Shipley's credits at 2s. 00., Treasury and Post bills at ls. 113 d. CHINA. field-pieces. The field train of Foot Artillery will also be increased by several batteries of 9-pounders, and the Rocket Brigade is to have an additional troop. To effect the augmentation of the Horse Artillery and.the Rocket Brigade a number of men will be transferred from the field train, in which the duties are nearly similar ; and it having been found detrimental to the service when the artilleryls actively engaged to employ disciplined g unners as drivers in the field t ra i n , H orse Artallery,.andßocket Brigade, it is intended to organise artillery drivers similar to those employed during the Peninsular war, and re duced in 1824. The corps will be composed Qt 10 troops of 100 men, officered by a lieutenant-colonel,lo captains commanding troops, and two lieutenants to each troop. The uniform will be similar to that of the Fiona Artil lery, but without lace or ornament. !Ix troops will be attached to the siege and field trains, three troops to the, Horse Artillery, and one troop to the Rocket Brigade. When the arrangements are completed a battalion of 12 companies of efficient gunners can be witklrawn from 'lriving, and made available in the field at leir regular dtby._ _ _ 110 non-commissioned officers and gunners of the Royal Artillery, under the command of Lieut.• Colonel Adye, who had been home on leave from the Crimea, embarked yesterday, with 100 horses, at Woolwich, for a passage in the London and Hackbut transports to the Crimea. A detachment of the 11th Hussars, 60 in all, arrived at Plymouth on Saturday, by steamer from Dublin, and proceeded the same day to Exeter. The A, B, and C divisions of the New Land Trans port Corps, numbering 261 men, under Lieut.-Com mander Addick, arrived at Plymouth yesterday, from Horfield Barracks, Bristol, to embark for the. Crimea. VISIT OF PRINCE ALBERT TO THE SAILORS' HOME. PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 19.—His Royal Higimess Prince Albert and suite came over from Osborne geese to this port this morning, on a visit of inspection of the new royal yacht, and of the Sailors' Home. The visit was a private one, the usual salutes, so far as his Royal High ness was concerned, being dispensed with. The Fairy, tender to the royal yacht, with the Prince on bo ar d, arrived in harbour a little before eleven o'clock, and pro ceeded round to the north end of the dockyard, Prince Albert and suite landing at the steam basin, in which the royal yacht is moored to receive her machinery. A guard of honour from the Royal South Lincoln Mi• litia, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel Fane, was in attendance with the band of the regiment, and received the Prince with the usual honours. His Royal High ness then dispensed with the further attendance of the guard, which returned to the barracks. The Prince then proceeded to the yacht, on board which he re mained upwards of an hour, going over the whole of the interior of the vessel and examining its various arrange ments, and directing some alterations, for the greater convenience of the crew, be made. On leaving the yacht the Prince proceeded to the Sailors' Home in Queen-street, adjoining the dock yard, where he minutely examined the accounts of the institution and the whole of the arrangements and accommodation for the class of persons for whom it was established. His Royal Highness expressed great admiration of the institution, and •f the objects it had in view, and also of the perfect success with which those objects bad been carried out. On leaving the Home his Royal Highness, who was loudly cheered by the inha bitants, returned to the dockyard, shortly after which the Fairy was again seen coming up through Spithead, having the royal standard flying at her main, her Majesty being on board. The Fairy came straight into harbour, and his Royal Highness at once went off to her, and re turned to Osborne at half-past one. By orders of the Queen the fleet did not salute on her arrival ; but this order not being repeated when she returned, the ships.in harbour and at Spithead poured forth a salute of a deafen ing and magnificent character. ARMY BEFORE SEBASTOPOL COM- MITTEE --(THIS DAY.) The committee reassembled this morning at the usual hour, The first witnes9 called was Dr. Andrew Smith. In reply to Mr. Ellice, he stated that be entered the service of the army in the year 1815. He had had considerable ex perience as army surgeon, and in medical hospitals. He was staff surgeon of the Ist class before he was appointed to the Medical Board in 1835. His salary was 1,200/. per annum, lie had an assistant at 590/. per annum. The Commander-in-Chief, the Secretary at War, and the Board of Ordnance were his (Dr. Smith's) immediate superiors, and he received from them se parate and independent directions from each of these autho rities, He proposed all medical appointments to these autho rities, but t• no civil authority. He selected the names of officers for promotion from confidential reports, and gave the preference to such as had the most recommendations in their favour, and recommended them for promotion accordingly. Their removal from station to station abroad also originated in himself. Mr. Elace—ls any distinction made between officers who enter the service with high qualifications and those who have passed the necessary examinations only? Dr. Smith—Oh I yes, certainly ; every distinction is drawn. Examination continued —The garrison hospitals in this kingdom were under his superintendence. There was one at Fort Pitt, another at Dublin, and another at Cork. There is' no hospital in Scotland. He had the power of advising medical officers in colonial hospitals, but he did not think it advisable to exercise any positive authority he might have on them because he was unacquainted to a great extent with their local circumstances. He had not much authority with regard to the Queen's troops in India, except that he was in the habit of receiving reports from them. Reports were made to him from all medical hospitals under the Crown. All medical stores were supplied on requisitions to him from the medical or local authorityat garrison, or general, orbarrack hospitals ; and these requisitions were approved by the officers in com mand in the case of colonial hospitals.. They were supplied to regiments in a somewhat similar manner. Mr. Ellice—How are stores of clothing and medical comforts supplied to the purveyor of an hospital ? Dr. Smith—Formerly, in the year 1830, there was a pur veyor in chief, who purchased everything, and was responsi ble for its supply ; but since then the duty had devolved on the Ordnance department. The ordering of these stores (as we understood) was involved in much confusion. The War department claimed the authority, and he thought it ought to be vested in himself ; in fact there was a perpetual conflict of authority on the subject, and had been ever since he had been at the Medical Board, and long before then. The pre sent Secretary of State for War holds the office of Secretary at State and at War. Mr. Ellice—At what period were the intentions of the Go vernment to send out a military expedition to the East first communicated to you ? Dr. Smith—ln February last year. Mr. Ellice—What directions were given to you to make the necessary preparations, and by whom ? Dr. Smith—l received a communnioation from the Com mander-in-Chief stating that the Government intended to send 10,000 men to Malta, and directing me to provide all the necessaries requisite in the medical department. All that was necessary for him to do was to complete the medical arrangements by appointing an additional assistant-surgeon to each regiment, which before had but one, and by augment.. ing the number of staff assistant-surgeons. Then he had to provide a supply of medicines and ail articles required for hospital furniture, utensils, bedding, &e., as well as medical comforts in proportion to the probable wants of such a force. He issued an order the day afterwards to the Government druggist contractors, and in eight days afterwards the stores were delivered. The utensils, furniture, and bedding he obtained by requisition to the Board of Ordnance, whose province it was to supply them. Mr. Ellice —Did you consider it your duty to see that these articles were actually provided and safely shipped ? Dr. Smith repied, that he had no authority to do so, but persons in his office were from day to day despatched to the Tower, in order to ascertain the progress which had been made. No invoice of any of the goods were sent to him, nor yet a bill of lading. He had not the slightest power or control over the shipping of the stores furnished by the Ordnance. He had only to send them a requisition of what was wanted, and they took everything else out of his hands. He received an intimation in the en suing month that an additional force of probably 25,000 men would, in all probability, be despatched to the East, and ho took the requisite. steps, as before, for providing a large quantity of medicines, stores, and medical comforts. Mr. Ellice—When you beard that, in all likelihood, the army would be despatched to Turkey, did you consider it necessary to ascertain the nature of the climate, the local diseases of the country, and their best mode of treatment Dr. Smith, in reply, stated that ho represented to the Com mander-in-Chief that as the men wore ignorant on these sub jects, a staff consisting of the senior medical officers appointed to the army, accompanied by an engineering officer to make a sketch of every place in which it was probable the army might be located, should be despatched to Turkey in advance of the army to make observations in these respects and to report to him. The medical officers were sent out, and acted in accord ance with his instructions; but no officer of engineers accom panied them. Those medical officers reported to him on the matter, and he issued instructions to the officers of the army generally founded upon that report. With regard to the establishment of any hospitals, he did not consider it right to interfere with that beyond giving his advice on the subject. He thought these things were better confided to the discretion of those who were on the spot, guided by the circumstances or emergencies of the locality. He did not think it advisable that medicines should be purchased on the spot, because they could be got better at home, and might be depended upon. As to the stores, as the Ordnance sup plied them, he could not say whether they were sent from home or bought on the spot. Some of the medicines sent out, instead of being delivered at Scutari, were knocked about from port to port. He might no doubt be able to as certain when these stores were despatched and what portion of them arrived at their destination. Mr. Ellice—Was authority confided to any officer or officers to purchase a supply of articles which had not been sent from home, or had not arrived, but which were pressingly re quired ? Dr. Smith—Yes ; the purveyor, he believed, had power to purchase such articles, but he thought there was Borne mis understanding as to the authority of the purveyor. The pur veyor thoight he was not compelled to obey the directions of the medical board ; but ho was supremo in his own depart ment. Ho (Dr. Smith) was obliged to appeal to the War office to have this mistake rectified. Mr, Ellice —Do you think that if there had been a purveyor, with proper authority, at Scutari, he might have bought everything at Constantinople necessary for the sick at Scu tari, without depending upon a supply of articles sent out from England ! Dr. Smith—l have some difficulty in answering that ques tion, because I am not sufficiently acquainted with the loco: lity ; but from the evidence given. by the Times' commissioner before this committee, I apprehend there would have been no difficulty in the matter. Examination continued—He had no authority in the world to interfere in the improvement of the hospital accommodation at Scutari, of its sanitary condition, or of its medical and other requirements. He thought sufficient power was vested in the ambassador to supply whatever was requisite, or to remedy these defects. Mr. Ellice—Mr. Macdonald, the Times commissioner, in his evidence before this committee, has stated that when lie waited upon you for letters of introduction, and explained the object of his mission to the East, you told him that there was everything that was required in the hospitals at Constan tinople and Scutari. Will you inform the committee on what ground you were justified in that assertion ? Dr. Smith—l bad no reports in my possession to justify me in asserting anything else. I had received letters from the medical authorities there, which led me believe that they had everything they required ; and I was aware large quan tites of stores of all kinds had been sent out. Dr. Smith was still under examination when our report left. [This gentleman gave his evidence in so low a tone of voice that it was with difficulty 'we could collect even the purport of what he said.] ADMISSION OF OFFICERS INTO THE ROYAL NAVY FROM THE MERCANTILE MARINE. The following notice has been forwarded to the prin cipal shipowners and great steam-packet campanies, from the Board of Admiralty :—, Admiralty, March 14th, 1855. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty being desirous to encourage gentlemen from the merchant service to enter the royal navy in the rank of second master, are pleased to invite such officers as can comply with the requirements of tho Queen's regulations (copy of which is enclosed) to offer themselves for such appointments. - The Admiralty are also pleased to invite officers who may not be able fully to comply with these requirements to offer themselves for the appointment of Acting Second Mastar, provided they shall have completed four years service at sea, have filled some of the ratings required by the Queen's Regulations before mentioned, shall have completed the full age of eighteen years, and I shall produce satisfactory proof of diligence, sobriety, and good conduct. The Board of Admiralty are willing to guarantee to them on their completing the necessary period of service in the Ruyal Navy, and on their conform ing in all respects to the requirements at such time exist ing, their conirmation to the rack of second master in her Majesty's service, with all th e f ur th e r a d va nt ages t o be derived from such rank, both as regards half pay and the prospect of future advancement to the rank of master, &o. Officers making application must state distinctly their age, the ships in which they have served, length of service, ratings, &c., addressing such application to the Secretary of the Admiralty, when their claims will receive imme diate attention. EXTRACT FROM THE NEW REGULATIONS RESPECTING SECOND MASTERS IN THE NAVY, 1844. To qualify an officer to receive a commission as second master, he must have served at least six years at sea, three of which in her Majesty's navy as midshipman or master's absistant ; or having served six years at .sea, shall have actually been one year or more master, or two years chief mate, or three years inferior mate of a mer chant vessel ; or shall have served in the two former capa cities in a merchant vessel fer a period, when combined, of 18 months; or in the two latter, or in the three capa cities for a period combined of two years and .a half. He shall produce certificates of diligence, sobriety, and good conduct, as required in the case of masters ; and shall pass such examination as the Admiralty may from time to time direct; but no candidate shall be examined before he shall have attained the age of 19 years, nor after the age of 35. The Government, iu consideration of the peculiar case of the late gallant Major Townsend, of the Royal Ar tillery, not having been promoted at the date of the Queen's warrant of the 3d of November, have gtauted to his widow the superior pension of a lieutenant colonel, of 2001. per annum. This is but an act of justice. Yesterday orders were issued by the Admiralty for a number of ships, of about 780 tons • burden, and of light draught, to be taken up as floating depotq for six months. They are to be moored in Faro Sou n d. Mr. Nason, of Guy's Hospital, repeats us to state that his name is not Mason, as erroneously stated in the papers of yesterday. ARMY BEFORE SEBASTOPOL COM- MITTEE. [A. portion of the following appeared in our first &Il ion of yesterday.] The first witness called was Mr. A. Stafford. In reply to the Chairman, he stated that he had visited the Scutari hospital in November last. He met with no opposition to his visits. He wrote a letter to the Duke of Newcastle calling his attention to the hospital, pres sing upon the Government the propriety of establishing an hospital at Smyrna, the air of which appeared to be far more salubrious than at Scutari or Constanti nople. The climate there was exceedingly heal thy throughout the year, with the exception of the months of June, July, and August, during which months the English residents usually left the town, and returned about October. In accordance with his representation an hospital was determined upon, and he visited it before it was opened. The spot fixed upon was tolerably healthy. He made some other suggestions whilst at Constantinople, but he did not know whether they were acted upon or not. He was not sure that the English Government would not be displeased with his being there, and he feared he might have been ordered away from the hospitals if be interfered too much. Not long afterwards he visited Scutari kospital, and found the g‘ Necessaries " in a very filthy and neglected state —so bad that the effluvia from them was sufficient of itself to have gene rated disease. Diarrlicea was prevalent in the building, and he himself caught it whilst Inspecting —as he con sidered it his duty to do--the state of the places he bad alluded to. The filth from them had percolated into the adjoining ante-rooms, and the whole was in such a shock ing condition that he could not find words adequate to the description. He went to Dr. M'Gregor and repre sented to him that this state of things ought to be looked to, and immediately remedied. Dr. M`Gregor showed him a letter from the assistant-surgeon on the subject, and stated that he had written to him three or four times on the same subject. This was about the 13th or 14th October. The Chairman—What did Dr. M'Gregor say to you ? Mr. Stafford—He stated that be frequently made re presentations to the superior department about the matter. The Chairman—What department did you understand him to mean by that ? Mr. Stafford—l cannot say, as I have heard there were one or two departments connected with the hospi tal. The Chairman—Then you cannot say who was at the head of the hospital and had the governing authority Mr. Stafford—No indeed I cannot, and I consider the want of a head authority was the source of all the evil which came under my observation. Examination resumed—Dr. M`Gregor said lie had already done all that was within his power, and that to proceed further would not be within his department, and he (Mr. Stafford), from what he had subsequently heard, believed that such was really the case. Dr. Menzies. he thought, was at that time at the head of the medical department, but he could not say positively. As, how ever, he had been introduced to Dr. M`Gregor, and that gentleman seemed actuated by a desire to promote re form in the hospital, he made his representation to him. He had always found him ready to do anything in hie power to alter the state of things which prevailed. Tile Chairman—Could not Dr. M`Gregor have ob tained tea or a dozen men who could at once have cleansed the filthy places of which you have spoken ? Mr. Stafford-- Yes ; but in all probability had he done so he would have been told that such a duty was not in his department, as it certainly was not, and he would sented the matter to a person in high authority, and was informed by the person in question that it was de sirable it should be done, but that he had no money. He (Mr. Stafford) recommended that 16 Turks should be employed, and offered himself to bear the expense. The official, however, seemed to hesitate about receiving the proffered pecuniary aid, as he had No authority, he stated, to indemnify him (Mr. Stafford). Chairman—l think the committee ought to be put in possession of the name of the high authority referred to Mr. Stafford, however, declined to give it up, as the person was not present to defend himself, and might possibly have no friends in England to speak for him. The Chairman said it was indispensable. Mr. Stafford said he did not see the necessity ; and went on to state that, with the exception of the occasion referred to, the gentleman had shown a ready disposition to do anything to promote the comfort of the sick and wounded. The Chairman.--Is the gentleman you speak of a pub lic officer, receiving public pay ? Mr. Stafford.—.lie The Chairman.—Then I decidedly think the commit tee ought to have his name. Mr. Stafford, nevertheless, still hesitated, and there appearing to be some difference of opinion amongst the committee upon the point, the room was cleared for dis cussion, and the doors remained closed for half an hour. On the re-admission of the public, The Chairman said—Mr. Stafford, what situation does this gentleman hold in the hospital of Scutari ? Mr Stafford wished to know if it was the decision of the committee that he should give the name. The Chairman (firmly)—lt is the decision of the com mittee that you should answer that question ; be kind enough to do so. Mr. Stafford (after some hesitation)—lt is impossible to state the situation he holds without naming him. The Chairman still persisting in his question, Mr. Stafford (after another pause) said, he is the commandant. The Chairman—Was he commandant of the garrison or of the hospital ? Mr. Stafford—Of the barrack hospital I believe. The Chairman—Then what was his name ? Mr. Stafford—Major Sillery. By General Peel—Major Sillery is the senior officer commanding the barrack hospital. Examination resumed by the Chairman—He never had anything to do with the officers generally at Scutari without meeting with the greatest courtesy, but it ap peared to him that the mismanagement chiefly arose from a fear on the part of all of exceeding the duties of their departments, and thereby incurring responsibility. In his Opinion they all thought he was sent out there to make out a case in favour of the hospital. Matters were better afterwards, but were never in such a condition that he could not have wished for still greater improve ment. The Chairman —How did the patients think they had been treated Mr. Stafford—Their feeling was that they were well treated in the field of battle ; but they had not been so well served afttrwarls. They spoke of their treatment on board the transports with the greatest indignation ; but after their arrival at Scutari their apparent desire was to forget the past in the gratitude they felt for the kindness of the ladies who had come out from this country to nurse them. TheChairman—Did you see any of those poor fellows when they were landed? Mr. Stafford said he did, :Ina words could not do j us tico to their ghastly and filthy appearance. On after wards visiting scum of them iu the hospitals he found them covered with vermin, and as they were undressing they asked him not to come near them, being fully a•.vare of their loathsome condition. He visited the naval hospital, and found it in an admirable state. The Chairman—Did you visit the hospital at Rilak lava ? Mr. Stafford replied that ho visited it five times, and the first time was taken round by the doct ,r The second time ho saw nobody. The third time ho went he was refused admission, and was told he could not be admitted without an order from Lord Raglan. He wrote accordingly to his lordship, and received an order, accompanied by a very cour teous note, and lie visited the hospital afterwards with it. He did not describe the state of the hospitals to Lord Raglan, but he wrote to one of the staff officers. The state of the hospital was such as he had before de scribed in the House of Commons. He found no venti lation. The men were huddled together in small rooms on the floor ; the medical comforts were very bad ; the orderlies addressing the patients with oaths and curses, and the greatest possible filth in the bed clothing. Dr. Hall was the senior medical officer there. He found that visiting the patients raised their spirits and elevated the mental tone of the poor fellows. Diarrhoea and cholera was the prevalent complaint amongst the sick ; but it was the opinion of the medical officers that medicines would be of but little avail so l on g as the dietary of the army remained wbat it was. The rooms of the hospital were very small. He saw some empty houses in the town, and thought they might have been appropriated As hospitals. Some times the numbers in the hospital varied. If a ship were going out it might be clear, and then it might be filled again immediately afterwards. The - Chairman—Did you bear any complaints about the green coffee served to the troops ? Ur. Stafford—lf you had wanted to excite the men in any way you could not have done it better than by alluding to green coffee. It excited the greatest indig nation in their minds, and they said the commissariat might just as well have served out pebbles to them. They had no machinery for roasting it ; but they managed it as well as they could. He was on board one of the transports at Balaklava, and found that not the slightest preparation had been made for the reception of the sick and wounded, who were lying on the decks in their greatcoats. Some of them were covered with vermin, and all were ragged and filthy. He saw some of the broth and the pea soup served out to the invalids. There was no fire to boil them, and consequently it was little bettor than g r easy water, whilst the peas were not split, but put in whole. The Chairman—Do you know who had the superin tendence of that transport ? 1 Mr. Stafford—l believe Captain Christie. Mr. Stafford.—Examination continued,—lle was on UNSUCCESSFUL ATTACK ON THE CITY OF SHANGHAI. (Prong the North China Herald, Jan. 6.) The renewal of An assault on the city of Shanghai has been daily expected since Saturday last, when a few shots were fired into it by the French, where by it was reported that about twenty insurgents were killed. This morning, at about half-past six, a cannonade was commenced from the French battery in front of the French consulate, and within an hour a uracticable breach was made in the north city wall, below the Joss-house that was destroyed by the bombardment o❑ the 9th ultimo. At this place we hear that 1,500 Imperialists and 250 French marines and sailors ascended the breach and scaled the walls, when a furious contest ensued — the French frigate, La Jeanne d'Arc, and steamer, Colbert, also firing into the city to protect the attacking column. The insurgents maintained their ground with great determination, and hurled the imperialists from the walls as fast as they ascended for some time. The French behaved with great coolness and bravery, but Lieut. Durun was killed and Ensign Discry wounded, on the first attack. The combat was maintained with great spirit from half-past 7 till about 11 a.m., when the insurgents drove the imperialists back with much slaughter ; and the French, finding their Chinese allies worse than useless, were compelled to retire within their lines. A few shots were fired subsequently from the French ships-of-war, but about noon it seemed that the contest was concluded for the day, and the insurgents were left masters of the city. We are informed that the French have had 2 officers killed, 4 wounded, and 13 privates killed and 33 wounded. The officers killed are Lieutenant Durun and Ensign Pitit ; and wounded, Ensigns Discry, Guys, Barbarain, and Forres tiere. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. Rear-Admiral Berkeley, the senior naval Lord of the Admiralty, accompanied by Mr. Burnley, Accountant- General of the Navy, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday, and went out to the fleet in the Vivid yacht, to make arrangements for " paying down" the ships before start ing. The fleet was joined yesterday by the Blenheim, 60, Captain W. H. Hall ; the Olin, 16, Captain Willcox; and the Basilisk, 6, Commander Jenner. The Edin burgh, 58, Captain Hewlett, commenced to swing for the readjustment of her compasses, prior to joining yes terday. No day is yet fixed for the sailing of the main body of the fleet ; upwards of 16,000 men in it are now daily victualled at Portsnsouth aloiae, and at the Royal Clarence-yard they are slaughtering as many as 210 bul locks per week ; they are also loading vessels for Malta, Constantinople, and Balaklava daily. A number of the new class of medical officers, styled "dressers," will forthwith embark in the "flying squadron," which was to leave (according to orders) at daylight this morn kg for the Downs.

MILITARY. In addition to the 13th and 14th battalions of Foot Artillery, now being raised, it is intended to aug• inent the Horse Artillery by four troops of 100 men each, which will be equivalent to 16 batteries of light THE PRUSSIAN CIRCULAR. The following is a translation of the text of the Prus sian circular of the Bth of March addressed to the Prus Sian representatives at the different German Courts : " BERLIN, Msacn 8, 1855. " You will find hereto annexed a copy of the confidential despatch which I addressed on the 2d March to the Minister of the King at Paris. As you will find, I was led thereto by the circumstance that the attitude taken by the Envoy of the King, at the sittings of the Diet, had become the sub ject of criticism of a foreign Government, which the Govern ment of the King considers incompatible with the dignity and independence of Germany. " From the same motive I did not admit the circumstance with the French Government, and even now I think I may confine myself to a few observations so as to prevent the posi tion of the Government of the King from being misinter preted (denature), as has already been the case on one or two occasions. " The motives of the resolution of the Diet of the Sth February are clear and evident. If then, at a later period, it was attempted not to ignore them but to give them another signification ; in other words, if a measure, the object of which was to strengthen Germany at home and abroad, without making any demonstration for the moment, was interpreted later as a demonstration in one sense only, it was necessary in principle to contest the right of efforts made in that sense. This is what the Royal Envoy did at the German Diet. Does that constitute a demonstration in another sense ? Not the least in the world. Matters,would be far gone indeed in Germany if a call for the safety and in dependence of the German Confederation at so threatening a moment in Europe should be interpreted as a provocation against a foreign State, and reproached as a crime. For our part, at least, we are of the opinion that such a call was far too highly conformable to the dignity of Germany to need a corrective, and especially one resulting from treaties with which the German Confederation had nothing to do, and the pramtical bearing of which it does not understand at the pre sent moment. • " We have reason to- believe that many of our German allies share this view of the subject ; without this probably the motives of the resolution of the Bth February would never have been adopted either in the Committees or in the Federal Assembly by a majority which borders on unanimity. If, later, a foreign interpretation had not been given to those motives, the Royal Envoy would not have found himself in the necessity of re-establishing them i n their primitive gene rality, which did not contain a dmiionstration in any sense whatever; in the situation which was made, it was necessary to bring out with energy and precision the consequence of the principle. " If was to be hoped that this exchange of views, chiefly confidential, would not ba distorted in its character by a pre cocious and inexact publicity. Such, however, being the case—a fact to which Prussia is accustomed by the partial communications which aro made to foreign journals, but which will not turn her aside from her own views, at the risk of being misunderstood and suspected—it would have been easy to separate the truth from exaggeration, But all sorts of propositions were spoken of as having in part already been made by Prussia, in part prepared to be made—for in stance, that the whole bf the contingents ought to be sta tioned on Federal territory, that the Federal fortresses ought to be armed, &e. "We were surprised at the activity attributed to us. We learnt, in fact, from different reports from our diplomatic agents, that a series of Austrian circulars was occupied with this affair, and endeavoured in some manner to canvass votes against the propositions we were to make to the Diet. Dif ferent German Governments positively supposed that those circulars were also communicated to us ; this, however, is not the case. If the Cabinet of Vienna had addressed itself to us on the subject, it would soon have been convinced that we do not entertain the intentions attributed to us. The ma jority of those circulars would have had no object, and might have been dispe..sed with, " I shall not here examine whether the real interests of Germany, which, in the great European crisis of the moment, calls for a union and an increase of independent forces, with the consciousness of their power and o bj ect, and not a tension of artificial strength, obeying a foreign impulse, would have gained or lost thereby. 4‘ The position of the Royal Government, as regards the resolution of the Diet, is as simple as it is clear. As a Fe deral Power it maintains the motives which served as a basis for that decision as long 'as the Federal Assembly did not attribute to them a more: precise tendency by its uew decisions. The question or knowing whether the Assembly will do it, and in which sense it will do it, is the affair of a future, which, in fact, is already on the threshold of the pre sent. ~v "Prussia is fully . alive to the gravity of the moment, and her aid will not fail Germany ; but it is precisely b ecause s h e is aware of that gravity, that she will not allow her un clouded vision to be obscured by au in terpretation which - it is desired to thrust upon her , But, in taking this view of affairs, Prussia knows that she is exempt, not only from every intention of a demonstration, but also from any arridre pensge and any ill-will towards the Western P owers. " You will express yourself confidentially in tho s ense o f the above observations, not only to the Government to which you have the honour of b e ing accredited, but w h erever else you may have reason to suppose that au appreciation of our position, founded on distorted facts, may be likely t o " MANTEUFFEL.,, MAPJCST NEWS-(THIS EAY MARKETS.

BY Sir J. Pakington—The wounded men who well, brought to Scutari were frequently exposed to the in• clemency of the weather, six or seven hours after berg landed. Sometimes they were left in the open square before the hospital, and sometimes in the oorri dor, but this was contrary to rule. A considerable number of the soldiers whom he saw at Scutari had never recovered their knapsacks after giving them up before their landing in the Crimea. Some retained them throughout the campaign, but being at last unable to carry them, had left them at Balaklava. He had never been able to ascertain what became of the quantities of stores which had been sent out, but he had little doubt that they had been greatly wasted. By Mr. Ellice—When he first visited the Scutari hes pi'al he found a want of every necessary, but things after wards improved. Many patients were on the ground, and many remained so up to the day he left. He was not aware how far the Ambassador's instructions ex tended, but he presumed he had authority to furnish whatever was deficient. By Mr. Layard—He was of opinion that a better com munication by steam between Constantinopl e and Scutari was very desirable, and he represented the matter to Admiral Boxer, but he could not entertain the idea. Admiral Boxer did not know his name at first, but whoa. he ascertained it be was very civil, but declined to have . anything to do with the recommendation. Mr. Layard—Will you be kind enough to tell us what took place at that interview ? Mr. Stafford (hesitatingly)—Well, Admiral Boxer is a sailor of the old school ; he was very civil to me, and— Mr. Layard—We can judge of the nature of his con duct towards you ; but do you not know that it is a notorious fact that Admiral Boxer insulted everybody who called upon him about matters of business ? Mr. Stafford—He did not insult me, but certainly his language was insulting rather than otherwise. (Laughter.) Mr. Layard—Do you know the course which Miss Nightingale adopted at the hospital ? Mr. Stafford—She made out requisitions to the diffe rent departments for things that were required. She put herself in communication with Mr. Osborne, who - would come before the committee for examination, and could speak more positively as to that. Mr. Osborne was in communication with Mr. Macdonald of the Times, and accordingly quantities of stores were constantly flowing into the hospital. Examination continued—lt was medical comforts which were more required than probably anything else when he was there. Dietaries were sometimes impro perly administered, and he knew of the case of one poor fellow who died, and to whom somebody else's low diet had been given, when he required the greatest nourish ment. The cooking was partly done in the optu air. When he first went there he did not think there was any washin g at all done. There was a great deficiency of officials at the Scutari hospitals, but they were invariably humane to the unfortunate sick and wounded, and seemed always exerting themselves to do their duty, but the arrivals came so numerously upon them that it was almost impossible to meet the emergency in an efficient manner. He and a number of kindly disposed persons then rendered their ac tive personal assistance to the officials in lauding the sick and wounded, carrying them to the hospital, and attenling to their immediate necessities and corn foz ts afterwards. Mr. Layard—Did you see the Ambassador at all? Mr. Stafford— Yes, I saw him twice. Mr. Layard—Did you make any representation to him as to the state of the hospital ? Mr. Stafford—Yes ; I talked over the affairs of the hospital with him. Mr. Layard—Did he visit the hospital at all whilst you were there?? Mr. Stafford—Yes, once. Mr. Layard—Did matters improve afterwards ? Mr. Stafford—Yes ; but the state of things at the hospital was continually improving whilst I was there. Examination continued—The convalescents discharged from Scutari were sometimes in a very unfit state for embarkation. By Mr. J. Ball--When he had the interview with Major Sillery he was aware that the arOassaelor had authority to crder whatever was required in the hospi tal ; but he did not know whether Major Sillery was acquaintel with that circumstance, nor did he (Mr. Stafford) know whether Lord Stratford de Redefine had informed Major Sillery that such was the case. The Duke of Newcastle encouraged him to prosecute his observations on the spot, and the letter of his grace on the subject was highly creditable to him. He had no communication with Commissary- General builder or any other official at the camp rela tive to the green coffee. Captain Jocelyn Percy wax next called and was tura mined by Mr. Drummond. He stated that he went out with the professional nurses on the 2d December to Scutari, and had paid a great deal of attention to the hospitals and visited them at night to see that the nurses did their duty. 47 nurseswent out with him. From what he had seen of the sol diers' wives there, he should say it was perfectly impos sible to organise them for any useful purposes connected with the hospitals. Captain Percy then went on to describe the condition in which he found the hospitals, which accorded with the accounts previously given by other witnesses. He said he was only there a fort- night. Tue committee adjourned at about a quarter to four o'clock until to-morrow. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S -YESTERDAY.
