It is, therefore, no matter of sin prise that he should enjoy the reputation of being a most dexterous and skilful manipu ator with urethral instruments ; and a hen 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 mutt be no slight source of gratification on Mr. Courtenay's part. to have achieved the reputation he has in this res,iect ; 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 Circular.

Ey SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D. 57, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Esc., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con leicences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, vhich have proauced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man sood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any Ither class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is iarticularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of tleir physical condition, and who are conscious of haying hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there aro principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed tie heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties nay be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, tad how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, tut: there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional lerangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. cheAutbor has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have unfortunately teen too generally confided to the care of ignorant empirics, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in their pretensions.

The advanced squadron of the Baltic Fleet, on leaving Spithead, took iailiug order as follows— Weather Line. Lee Line. Imperious° Euryalus Arrogant Tartar Esk Archer • —and proceeded under steam for the Downs. It is now reported that the squadron will proceed to Elsi nore almost immediately. The fleet at Spithead dressed ship and fired a general Royal salute at a few minutes bettors 3 yesterday afternoon, as her Majesty, in the Fairy, Royal steam-yacht, proce del across the anchorage from Osborne to Gosport, 'towards town. No day of sailing is yet even " reported " for the fleet. Its number is daily inc,eased. The Cmsar, 91, Cap tain Robb, joined yesterday afternoon. The Hastings, 6d, new screw block-ship, Captain Catlin, was going out of Portsmouth harbour yesterday, but after a few revolutions of her engines she stopped and moored again to her hulk. The James Watt, 91, Captain Elliott, was removed from the steam basic yesterday and placed alongside a hulk to take in her sea , stores, Sze. 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 Black Eagle, Admiralty steam yacht, arrived in Portsmouth harbour on Thursday night from Woolwich, to attend on the Board of Admiralty on their parting visit to the fleet. 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 bf an order issued by the Lords of the Ad miralty, to the effect that every ship in the fleet proceeling 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 pur 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 lips-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.

The Esk, 20, screw steam corvette, Captain Thomas T. Birch, arrived at Sheerness on Thursday evening last, from Portsmouth. The Esk sailed from Portsmouth in company with the flying squadron on the 20th, and on the same night, during the thick foggy weather, she got in collision with the Arrogant, 46, screw frigate, by which the Esk carried away her port cathead and did other damage to her how, bulwarks, hammock, netting, &c. She has put into Sheerness for re pairs. A number of artificers have been pat on her, and she will be ready again to proceed in a day or two. She brought up in the Downs at 2.30 a.m. on Thursday, and arrived at Ekeerness at 4.30 p.m. The Cossack, 20, screw steam-corvette, Captain Edward G. Fanshawe, arrived at Sheerness on Thursday evening. She left the Downs at 1.15 p.m. and anchored at Sheerness at 5 p.m., averaging 12 knots under sail with very easy steam power. She has returned iu consequence of the after crank bearing having heated and melted and run the white metal from the brasses, which require an extra bearing to be put in the after part of the propellor shaft to relieve the shaft pipe. It is reported that she is to leave Sheerness to-day for the Baltic direct by an Admiralty order, On the evening of the 21st inst., when off the North Foreland, John Pascoe, an A. 8., while in the act of loosing the ship fell overboard, and, although strenuous exertions were made by lowering the boats, &c., he was never seen to rise. The Goodwill arrived at Sheerness yesterday, last from Portsmouth, deeply laden with naval stores. ARRIVAL OF THE ALPS FROM THE CRIMEA.

The Bellerophon, 78, Captain Lord G. Paulett, was to leave the Rock the next day for England, and the Vengeance, 84, Cap tain Lord E. Russell, was at the back of the Rock. The Alps spoke on the Bth inst. off Pantallaria a Norwegian bark, No. 491, 3d distinguishing pendant ; on the 12th, in lat. 36.42 N., long. 2.28 W., passed the ship John Stewart and brig lanthe, bound up the Mediterranean. The Alps went into Portsmouth harbour yesterday afternoon to coal and land her passengers. Her sick and wounded soldiers, &c., are ordered to be taken on in the ship to Chatham this morning. When the Alps left Gibraltar, the Heels steam-sloop, Commander Hawker, was repairing the damages she sustained by getting ashore. The Himalaya troop-ship, and the Oberon steam vessel, left Gibraltar for Malta on the 14th inst. Bremen haven to the Danish coast.

VOLUNTEERS FOR THE CRIMEA. An order has been received in Sheerness garrison for 50 ex perienced gunnery. volunteers to be sent immediately to Wool wich for foreign active service. The greatest activity pre vails in this garrison. The enthusiasm is great, and the vo lunteers numerous. In proof of which on Captain Cannon, senior captain, making known to his company on parade,l7s rank and file, that volunteers were wanted from his company (all of whom are fully trained men) to servo under Lerd Raglan, in the Crimea, every man, with the 'exception of four, who were aged married men, stepped out of the ranks and volunteered to go immediately. The gallant captain, after consulting with the Colonel-Commandant, V. P. Eng land, was under the necessity of informing them that only 50 could be sent under the present order. Captain Cannon in formed his company that he had himself volunteered to pro ceed to the seat of war with his company, upon which the parade rang with three cheers. MILITARY. Captain Arbuthnot, and 43 non-commissioned officers and men of the Royal Artillery, with 50 horses, embarked at Woolwich on Thursday, on board the Escort steam-transport ship, for a passage to the Crimea. The Royal Marine Corps is to be immediately augmented by the addition of one company to each of the divisions at Woolwich, Chatham, Plymouth, and Portsmouth, and to each of which one captain and two first lieutenants will be appointed. Yesterday a large number of arm-chests, containing up wards of 1,000 stand of Mini. and straight rifles, sabres, and pistols, were shipped at the Tower-wharf for conveyance to Woolwich, Sheerness, and Chatham, where they will be trans-shipped to vessels about to sail for the Crimea. A very large quantity of bale goods, consisting of the new regulation tunic, regimentals for the infantry and cavalry, trousers, shakos, waist and shoulder belts, were also forwarded by the same route, and three waggon loads were sent by the South- Western Railway to Portsmouth and Southampton for the same destination. ROYAL MARINES. Royal Marine-office, March 19. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, having taken int• consideration the inconvenience and distress occasioned to the wives and families of marines embarked in her Ma jesty's ships by the delay in the commencement of tie pay ment of their allotments, are pleased to direct that theßoyal Marines may make their declaration of allotment at head quarters, instead of on board ships, under the following re gulations, commencing from the Ist of April next, viz.:- 1. The colonels commanding divisions will, upon requisi tion, be furnished with a proper supply of the forms of al lotment declaration lists, which they will cause to be properly filled up for such non-commissioned officers, drummers, and privates as may desire to allot upon being ordered for em barkation. 2. The payment of the allotment is to commence from the Ist of the month ensuing that in which the embarkation took place. 3. Men having a debt of more than 2/. placed against their names upon embarking aro not to be permitted to make de claration of their allotments at head-quarters. This regu lation, however, will not prevent men so in debt from making allotments on board the ships to which they be long, when they shall have served long enough to clear off their debts. 4. The allotment lists are to be transmitted to the Ac countant-General of the Navy, by the commandant of a di vision, immediately after being completed, and a separate list is to be prepared for each of the ships the men are embarked in. 5. Men who do not allot prior to embarkation will be allowed to make allotments on board the ships to which they belong, as heretofore. _ . 6. The existing regulations in regard to the stopping, trans. (erring, and reducing allotments to remain in force. The commandants will, therefore, take the necessary steps for carrying into effect their lordships' directions in all cases of embarkation accordingly. By command. S. R.

MISS MOWBRAY AND T: 1 E LIVERPOOL STEEPLE• CHASE. 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 th e s t able, lively as a kitten, but when brought into the inolosure, though looking well in con dition, she appeared heavy and dull, aid when mounted, galloppecl without her usual fire —in fact, had no " go" in her. At the request of Mr. Mason, Mr. Lucas, of Liverpool, analysed the contents of her stomach, after death, when the intestines, liver, and lungs were found to be In a perfectly healthy state ; but in the stomach a pint and a half of red liquid matter, of a chemical nature, was dis covere d, which, it will be proved, from the pla ce w h erein it was secreted, must have been administered withi n a short period of starting for the race. The stomach and it s contents are now in the hands of Mr. Brett, the celebrated analytical chemist of Liverpool, for further examination, and up on hi s report, the conduct of the case, upon which Mr. Mason is advised by Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., will depend. That it will be fully investigated fie public may rest assured ; and it is to be hoped the guilty parties will not escape detection. For obvious reasons, however, we cannot at present say more on the subject than that suspicions attach to the party in whose charge the mare was sent from Melton, and who, though not a regular servant of Mr. John Scott's, has for many years been considered a trustworthy character. —Belts Life.

TESTIMONIAL TO TRH LATH LORD DUDLIT STUART. —Yesterday a meeting of the friends of this deceased nobleman was held at Willis's Rooms, for the purpose of promoting the erection of a testimonial to his memory and worth. The Earl of Shaftesbury presided, and in introducing the subject said that he rested the claims of Lord Dudley Stuart's memory to such a mark of re spect, not upon his private or political virtues, high as there were, but upon his untiring advocacy of the rights of insulted nationalities. The first resolution, ex pressing the deep sorrow of the meeting at the decease of th e late nobleman, and of its respect for his memory, was pro posed by the Marquis of Breadalbane, seco n d e d b y Mr. V. Smith, and supported by the R ev . Jur. resolution his exertions inny having been Boone, who all warmly eulogised the gener ous de votedness the ee u o s f eo his f Poland.charaoter, Theand agreed to, a second was moved by the Earl of Zetland, seconded by Mr. Phinn, and supported by Mr. M. Milnes and the Rev. Professor Marks, to the effect that a sub scription be opened for the purpose of erecting a testi monial in commendation of his persevering advocacy of the rights of the Polish nation, and of his incessant and benevolent labours in succouring the afflicted and op pressed of every country and condition. This resolution having also been unanimously carried, M. Szoulozouski and M. Z the addressed the meeting in animated terms upon the feelings of gratitude with which the name of their friend and benefactor was treasured up by the Poles. On the motion of Sir JAn Shelley, seconded by Mr. T. Hankey, a committee was appointed to carry out the objects of the meeting, and with the customary vote of thanks to the chairman the proceedings terminated. Among the noblemen and gentlemen present on this oc casion, besides those mentioned, were Prince Lucien Bonaparte, Lord R. Grosvenor, Lord Hatherton, Louis Kossuth, Sir Robert Peel, Sir B.

THE NEWSPAPER STAMP DIITT.—We have reason to believe that the Government does not anticipate that its bill for an alteration of the law of newspaper stamps win be carried through the house. Within the last few days the Secretary of the Treasury has received from several of the usual supporters of the Ministry distinct intimations that the pressure of local opinion from their respective comtitueneies 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, yet the leaders of the party-will individually•oppose the bill, or propose such amendments as will destroy its mis chievous tendency. Th e tenour of these amendments we do not kn ow ; b ut , their object is away with th e present embarrassiniweAre told, to do distinctions between news journals and literary aers- but to retain all the obstacles to a l ow class of p üblications which the stamp 1 and the security system involve. The motion, of which notice was given by Mr. Deeding last 'evening (for the postponement of the bill until after ..the presentation of the Bud ge t) is, we believe, the indication of the " inde pendent opposition" to the question. Service 06.04 z- - , - - - / Z f- - - Z- -- - -r_ .--e - - -‹ . - ( «;~ THE CAMP AT ALDERSHOTT: • - (From the Times of this day.) Of the various proceedings now in contemplation for im proving the efficiency of our land forces, and augmentin g the military power of the country, there is none to which 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, indee4„, to the instruction of th e troops actually engaged, but which left few durable traces in the constitution or organisation of the British army. The soldiers went to Chobham, _ ro nsained there a few weeks, an d then returned to their former habits and quarters, thn whole spectacle disappearing from the face of the country before the close of the autumn' But the easeful 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 ou r t roops as much as possible in large barracks, so as to dispense with ,the use of isolated quarters, to preclude the necessity of billeting, and to provide both officers and men with the means of studying th© practical duties of their profession on something more than a regimental sca l e. With these views 175,000!. *have been assigned to the erection of lints sufficient to accommo date 50,000 men, which huts, thongh professedly of a tempo rary character, are to be substantial enough to serve for some years. Of these buildings, as many as will contain 20,000 men are to be raised at Aldersbott, at which spot also permanent barracks are to be constructed, at a cost of no less than 250,0001. Altogether, therefore, upwards of 300,000/. will ha expended at Aidenhott in military lodgings, and, as 20,000 Militi a w ill go i nto 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 permarrut l T. 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 : this system would evidently: not be adapted to our own resources or requirements. Our object is to communicate to a comparatively 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 answer our views. Beverloo is situated in the province of Limburg, not far from Hasselt, in the middle of which sandy and desolate-looking country a permanent camp has been formed for the accommodation and instruction of some 15,000 men. The buildings there erected comprise both barracks and huts, are complete in all their arrangements, and form, we believe, the only establishment of the kind in Europe— something between a regular garrison and a temporal" , en campment. The design of the Belgian Government seems to have been to give the soldiers of their army, who are mostly young, 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 buildings actually erected and arrangements devised for this purpose there may be very much for us to learn. It is on the discipline, however, and practices observed in the new camp, that so much will be found to turn. Mien suitable plans have been obtained, 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 engineers in the construction of our mili tary edifices. But results of the greatest importance will at. tach to that system of instruction adopted. We presume that Aldershott has not been selected without reference to its natu ral advantages, as offering good ground for manceuvres,— such ground, in short, as would enable all the various arms 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 excellence they possess in an eminent degree. They are valiant, enduring, patient, and steady be yond example, but they have never been taught to provide dexterously for their personal wants under circumstances of difficulty, or to perform those minor duties of outposts, &c., which the presence of an enemy creates. In addition to this, the regiments have never been sufficiently accustomed to act in concert, and, as the several corps were never, except for a few weeks at Chobham, fused into any semblance of an army, ' it followed almost inevitably that the auxiliary departments of the service had no experience of what an 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 our proceedings are, we think, tolerably clear. Of course, the ontinary 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 develop° their muscular ener gies; that demands should be made on their individual in telligence, so as to give them greater self-reliance and more resources in difficulty ; and that they should be taught all the expedients of cooking, melding, patching, and hutting, 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 in 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 practice 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 are col lected together th , re must necessarily to 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 vigour. We want, in short, some such practice as shall place before all branches of the profession the incidents of ac.ual service and the exigencies of a considerable army. The estab lishment at Aldcrshott will give us the opportunities desired, and we hope they may be turned to good effect in the case 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, whn 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 to be a follower of Lord Derby, and said his prin ciples were strictly Conservative. After giving an opi nion that the present Emperor of Russia was likely to 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 goretotned with h d ditetes rathertd that waL, v be a hollowutnowhe preferredtru Sir t i o r Samuel then touched upon some local topics. Hi 9 address was frequently interrupted by laughterand 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 dep3nded 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 be 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. Bonham was a fit and propEr person to reprgent the borough, and pledging the meeting to use every legal means to secure his election. A large meeting of Liberal electors wall 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 ef 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 " one hundred and" appeared to be in a different Inindihiting • and, on reference to the maste r ' s co py, it was ascer tained 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 Lad himself prepared the bill, leaving ample margin on the document for the insertion of additional words ; and it is believed that, after the sailing of the vessel, he would obtain an advance upon the document from some banking or mercantile house. From inquiries since in stituted it has been farther ascertained that tbabliii of lading for the cargoes of other cotton ships which left Charleston for Liverpool about the same time have been similarly altered. The Lalla Rookb, for instance, con signed to Messrs. Fraser, Frenholm, and Co., and the Sarah Ann, consigned to Messrs. J. S. le Wolfe and Co. had 300 bales each less on board than the quantity stated in the bill of lading, and on reference to the mas ter's copies it was found that the additional numbers and words had been introduced, as in the case first alluded mosfeean cotton o tt h o i n e to. Steps have been taken to secure the a p pre h ension of on Mr. s N af i e e ty. Nichols, N if i t c h h a o t le p w er a s s on fo h nn as formerly r not ere ast n e o r w ship himself, but had for some time pastoccu p ied the position position of broker in Charleston. NOTTINGHAM TRADE._Iu lace businges, alth o u gh w e cannot say that any improvement has ooeurred in the state of the demand, spinners and holders of material tell us that there has this week been an increased demand for these, and consequently a movement -1 " d have en sued in our l ong stagnant manufacturing activity. This is, however, accounted for rather from the anxiety of our manufacturers to coax the market with something in the shape of novelty, which may obtain a start along with the spring fashions. Still the real mainsprings of busi ness are inactive, and our leading merchants are waiting the turn ef affairs, in expectation of the usual seasonable operations — to which the weather has 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 hitherto been contraband in France, will thus be ad mitted extensively, end as the leading and characteristic feature of this class of British products, for the first time at 20 per cent. duty, we do nbt doubt, and our merchants do not seem to doubt, that the result must be of im portance to this country, and may probably open_ up to us a new market. They feel convinced that even' at 25 p e r cent. duty, they could successfully compete with t h e laces of Cambray and C a l a i s, and sell in - France a far cheaper and better article of the same class of British produce.
