By SAMUEL LAIIERT,• L 87, BEDFORD-SQUARE, ONDON, Doctor Of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothocariee Hall, London, Sac., Sze. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life , than , perhaps, any ether class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret herd s ded of th e ir physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazar the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled; It is absolutely necessary that all man should know, that there are principles grievous ersonal management which cannot be violated without incurring gr penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties ,ray be Mitigated, hew the sting of their bitterness may be removed, awl how the evil and its consequences may ae avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate eompiaints, which have unfortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant m oires, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in their pretensions.

This Company is established with the object of working coals in the Valley of the Damoodah, in Bengal, and of sup plying the great and rapidly increasing demand in India for that article. The profitable nature of such an undertaking has been placed beyond all doubt by the filet of an association — TH E BENGAL COALUONIPANY—working in the immediate proposed locality, having for some years past paid its Shareholders dividends varying from twelve to sixteen per cent. THE EAST L'SDIA COAL COMPANY will have the advantage of commencing its operations, with the means of transporting its Coal to market, by rail, in six hours--a benent or vast importance, when it is remembered that until within the last few months tho only mode of transit has been of the most tedious, dangerous, and expensive character ; combining land and water carriage—the former by carts, and the latter on a tor rent navigable for a very brief period of the year. Tho Collieries and lauds secured by the Directors are ex tensive and valuable : they consist of five distinct Mines, together with buildings, plant, &c., die., and comprise an area of upwards of five hundred acres. The seams vary from eight to sixteen feet in thickness, and contain an inexhaust ible supply of Coal. Toposi and Konoostoria, the two prin cipal mines, are immediately adjoining, and situated within three miles of the East India Railway Company's Terminus at Ranegunge and 129 miles (by rail) from Calcutta. They have been worked on a small scale for the last five years, supplying for two or three years the India General Steam Navigation Company with all the fuel for its steamers. Five Shafts have been sunk at depths varying from 35 to 60 feet. Samples taken from these Mines have been submitted to com petent examination, and pronounced equal to good Welsh Steam Coal. The other three mines, Kosta, Russa, and Tauksooly, although at greater distances from the rail, are valuable with reference to the superior quality of the Coal, and its capability for C okin g purposes. The terms upon which these Mines have been purchased are highly favourable to Shareholders. Not only is the price extremely moderate, with reference to previous sales of similar property, but the seller has consented to receive tho whole amount in Shares of the Company. A chart of the Mines, samples of the Coal, and a full report from competent parties in India as to the workings and ex tent of the property, are in possession of the Directors, and may be inspected at this office. For the information of those unable to avail themselves of this privilege, a few brief re marks are here submitted.—Owing to the cheapness of labour in India, a ton of Coal can be raised and deposited at the pit's mouth for a sum equal to ono shilling and twopence. The present charge for conveyance, by rail, to Calcutta, is eleven shillings and sixpence per ton ; the cost of the Coal, therefore, in Calcutta will be twelve shillings and eightpence per ton ; or, adding one shilling and fourpence for sundry charges, fourteen shillings. The price .of Coal in Calcutta has never been less, for many years, than twenty-one shillings per ton ; and the profit consequently will be the difference, or seven shillings per ton. The quantity of Coal raised would not be less than three hundred tons per diem, leaving a profit of 1051. per day, or, in round numbers, 31,5001. per annum, calculating only 300 working-days in the year. Supposing the whole amount of capital to be called for, still a dividend of at least 20 per cent. may be constantly anticipated. With the skill and means now available a very superior quality of Coal will be raised to any hitherto brought to market in India. The manufacture of Patent Feel upon the plan found to answer so well here, and the preparation of Coke for the use of the Indian allways, &c, will engage the attention of this Company. The deep interest which the Government of India, the va rious Indian Railway Companies, the Inland Steam Naviga tion Companies, the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company, and the Oriental Gas Company must naturally have in the success of this Scheme, promises to the Proprietors an amount of support not usually commanded by Public Coin hands for the getting in the crops. There has been some sickness at Grenada, but no epidemics. The weather was variable, but not unfavourable to agriculture. The exports to the 25th of August were—of sugar, 4,485 hogsheads ; cocoa, 3,783 bags ; and rum, 1,989 puncheons, showing a do crease, compared with the shipment of the corre sponding period of last year, of 602 hogsheads of sugar, and 178 bags of cocoa, with an increase in rum of 178 puncheons, the result as regards rum being accounted for by the necessity to which the planter has been driven of making spirits of that cane-juice which had been rendered unfit for the production of sugar from the influence of unsea sonable weather. _ _ panics. It is proposed to manage the affairs of the Company in the manner . adopteclby the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Com pany, and the various Indian Railway Companies—that is, by a board •f direction in London, and an agency and su perintendents in India. The operations of the Company will be immediate. Application for shares, in the following form, will be re ceived by the Secretary and the Brokers of the company :-- To the Directors of the East India Coal Company, " Limited." Gentlemen,—l request you will allot me shares in the East India Coal Company upon the terms of your prospectus, and I agree to accept the same, or such lesser number as may be allotted to me, and to pay the deposit thereon at the time and place mentioned in the letter of al lotment, and that such deposit may be expended in defray ing the preliminary expenses.

We feel sure that to hold out to brave men of both services some reward of a higher kind than pay and prize-money is a proposal that the nation would not fail to sanction, nor our soldiers and sailors to appreciate. But, before such an ex tension of honours can be graceful or advantageous, they must be cleared from all that recalls the days when, if not actually purchased, they were seldom bestowed but on those who could afford to pur chase them. With the three Orders to which com moners may not aspire the public will concern it ' self but little ; but, if the only one which is open to genius and courage is to preserve its influence in the present day, the abuses to which we have called attention must cease to exist.—Times. /1 HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. At the late investment of Knights of the Bath which took place in the Crimea, a discourse was pronounced on the history and nature of the Order. The substance of the address we have not learnt, but feel sure that it made no allusion to a subject which may have been in the thoughts of more than one who received the honours of a grateful country in that impressive ceremony. We publish a list of fees payable on the nomination of a Knight Grand Cross, the emoluments of the offi cials on the appointment to the two lower ranks being of course proportional. It appears that an officer on being admitted by the Sovereign to the highest class of our military Order of the Bath is mulcted in the sum of 1641. 13s. 4d. This amount is divided with great appearance of impartiality be tween seven officials. The Dean of the Order finds his benediction rated at 221. 6s. 81, which we should probably be inclined to deem sufficient, but for the fact that the GontlemanUsher receives precisely the same sum, while the Messenger is recompensed with 181. 13s. 4d., or hot 41. less. Bath King of Arms and the Secretary are, however, the indivi duals who receive the most substantial proofs of the value which our distinguished warrior are ex pected to place on their hard-earned honours. We have first Bath King of Arms, 221., and then Bath King of Arms " for book of the statutes," 61.135. 4d. The Secretary also is recompensed with this double sum, tho latter being for notice of election." The larger amount seems in each case due to the recipient absolutely from the mere fact of his existence ; at least, that is the conclusion to be derived from seeing that for what ha does he makes an extra charge. We feel that this is one of the abuses of a former age, and survives only through the unwillingness of those who attain distinction to object ungrace fully to customary payments, or to expose the organisation of the Order to which they have just been admitted. It is for the Government, or, ini its default, the public at large, to interfere and put an end to exactions which dim the brightness of the honour conferred, if they do not even lesson the eagerness to obtain it. Within a few days the nomination of several new recipients of this distinc tion will probably take place. How they have earned the dignity the nation is well aware. The toils and dangers of a twelvemonth, the courage and devotion which won eventual success, the anxiety of friends, the actual loss of limb or health, will, in more than one case, be rewarded by this mark of the Royal favour and esteem. The only Order which in this country is the recompense of merit awaits the worn and weary officers whom battle, disease, and hardship have spared to return to their country, or perhaps only to commence uew exertions on fresh and equally fatal fields. Are such men to be called upon to fee genealogists and gentlemen ushers ? Their deeds may well stand them in stead of a pedigree; the fame they have achieved is a sufficient introduction to their Sove reign. Whatever may be the worldly resources of these brave men, it is equally unworthy of the na tion and the statutes of the Order to exact such payments. We wish to make no reflection on the officials who receive these customary gratifications. Although all the fees are excessive, and some ludi crous, these persons have, no deubt, accepted their offices in the belief that the emoluments would be permanent, and may possibly have given considera tion for the appointment, either directly or by abandoning other pests. Whether the pay ments should bo discontinued with or with out compensation, or whether they should continue at the national expense, are mat ters which a proper inquiry would easily justice, s ( 0 1e r c s i udceh sumshbount honour, one thing from andt hed eiaoslinfficc nalceueeay:l necessaryee clear—that onehbr t xobui h mteti t a ehdo, i t nntidsa a sthheht l ef l deoeod f uu e fec u e ndxr l ldt i dl Ip n o esfr g naret s r,etti olhtc o itlnee f ahes-e duties be necessary, it is for the public to see that they are properly rewarded ; if useless, or actually of let otherthe s i n m e a c t u t r e e r s . b e l d h e e a dealt much largeraf t after not tf ehees Prearifd° precedentr b m y e t d h o' e noble and wealthy Knights of the Garter are, we believe, always dispensed with by Royal command when a foreign Sovereign is ad mitted.

The Legion of Honour, recalling memories of a heroic excites the emulation of every rank name ko e f the French army. Its cross is worn with a just pride by the General in his council of war and by the corporal who is toiling in the trenches. It is conferred by the Commander-in-Chief almost on the field of battle, and it is not an exaggeration to say that a feeling of fellowship unites all those who have gained it in war. Though perhaps widely and unworthily conferred in a past reign among the supporters of a Minister and a ,system, its popularity with the army has never waned, since with the soldier it has always been the reward of real services. A medal is too general and two dependent on accident to give equal gratification to the wearer and those whose happiness it is to be proud of him. A fourth class of the Bath, or'a new Order which should date from the era of a great achievement and the reign of a respected Sovereign, might well give public testi mony to the courage which now is only known to comrades. An objection to such a scheme must be based on some supposed inherentdifference between the soldiers of the two allied nations, who, as far as can be judged, are animated by equal courage, devotion, and sense of honour, or it must proceed merely from a dislike of rendering distinctions too widely mattered, though, if bestowed with care (From the Report of the Registar-General.) The mortality of London, as shown by the returns for last week, differs little from the average for the second week of September, or from the mortality that has pre vailed in the previous three weeks. The number of persons who died in the week that ended on Saturday is 1,033, of whom 523 are males, and 510 females. About a half of the entire number died under 20 years of age ; 40 had lived SO years, or had attained a greater age ; and one person, a female, is reported to have reached the age of 101. Diarrhoea or summer cholera continues to show a de crease, a circumstance which is probably due to the coldness of the season. The fatal cases of diarrhoea have been in the last five weeks 154, 127, 134, 107, and 96. Only 4 deaths are returned as caused by cholera, two of which are those of infants ; of the other cases one oc curred to a sailor on board ship in the New Crane Dock, and one described as " Asiati?, cholera " to a plipnber Market-street, London-road, who died after 24 hours' illness. The season which is most favourable to an eetbieak of cholera has nearly passed, and it seems not premature to hope that London wilt tor this year escape a scourge with which other parts of Europe are afflicted. Besides 33 deaths from scarlatina, 60 occurred last week from typhus and other fever ; and in Bailey's court, Liberty of the Rolls, a house is reported where three cases of typhus occurred lately, one of which proved fatal. The house is defective in drainage, and in other respects is said to be in bad sanitary condition. Last week the births of 816 boys and 734 girls, in all 1,550 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1845-54 the average number was 1,379. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29 . 943 in. The mean temperature of the week was 56 deg., nearly the same as in the preceding week, and 1 deg. below the average of the same week in 38 years. The mean tem perature of Saturday was only 52'5 deg., which is 4 deg. below the average of the same day. The highest tem perature occurred on Wednesday, and was 72 deg. ; the lowest on Monday, and was 42.5 deg. The mean dew point temperature was 51.6 deg., and the difference be tween this and the mean temperature of the air was 4.4 deg. The temperature of the water of the Thames was 60 . 1 deg. The wind was generally in the north-east. Rain to the amount of 0.46 in. fell on Thursday and Friday.

The settling upon the Doncaster events was resumed, but did not proceed so rapidly as many could have wished ; and as regards betting upon future events, we have not for some time upon a regular betting flay seen it so dull ; backers of horses were alarmingly scarce, while, on the other hand, book-makers were ex cessively thick on the spot, and more than the usual number have commenced large books upon the Cesare witch Stakes ; but unless their offers to bet are more re sponded to than they were to-day,. we are apprehensive that they will have cut out more work for themselves than they will be able to get through. This state of things generally occurs after any great event has been a " turn up." The only wagers we saw laid was 25 to 1 to a "pony" each against Mr. Sykes and Brother to Grey Tommy, that price in each case being afterwards offered ; 500 to 8 was laid against Mr. Greville's Morti mer and offered ; 1,000 to 20 was offered against any thing of Morris's ; and 30 to 1 would have been laid against Saucebox, but as offering against horses was the order of the day, we shall conclude with the following st of quotations : CESAREWITCH STAKES. 9 to - 1 agst Robgill (offered) 200 to 15 agst Scythian (offered) 100 to 6 agst Meeanee filly (offered) 100 to 6 agst Siding (offered) 100 to 6 agst Neville (offered) 200 to 9 agst Weathercock (offered) 25 to 1 agst Mr. Sykes (taken and offered) 25 to 1 agst Brotherto Grey Tommy (t. and off.; 25 to 1 agst Early Bird (offered) 25 to 1 agst Veteran (offered) 25 to 1 agst Monarque (offered) 25 to 1 agst Joe Miller (offered) 30 to 1 agst Saucebox (offered) 190 to 3 agst King Toro (offered) 40 to 1 agst Muscovite (offered) 50 to 1 agst Exile of Erin (offered) 50 to 1 agst Eulogist (offered) 50 to 1 agst Gamekeeper (offered) 50 to 1 agst Indian Warrior (offered) Owing to there originally being two Mortimers entered for the Cesarewitch Stakes, some little confusion has arisen as to which of the two had really accepted; we therefore deem it necessary to state that Mr. T. Parr's Mortimer has paid forfeit, and that it is Mr. Greville's Mortimer, by Alarm, that figures in the betting. Nothing was done upon the Cambridgeshire or the Derby. PONTEFRACT MEETING.-TIIESDAY.

The Tamar brings the Mexican and other mails, which should have arrived by the Atrato, the last mail steam-ship from the West Indies. Intelligence from Jamaica to the 26th ult. says:— " Matters continue much the same as when the last packet left. "The Lieutenant-Governor and Commander of the Forces, Major-General Edward Wells Bell, arrived in the steamer on the 23d inst., and was received by a guard of honour and the bard of the Ist West India Regiment. His predecessor, Sir Richard Doherty, also repaired to the Steam Company's wharf for the purpose of escorting him to head-quarters in his carriage. Much regret is manifested at the departure of Sir Richard Doherty and Commodore Henderson from their respective commands. The gallant commodore, it appears, is in bad health, and was to have left Jamaica in the last packet, up to the latest moment ; 'but, it appears, altered his mind, under the impression that his successor would have arrived in the present steamer. This, however, is not the case, as the new'commodore did not come. Indeed we are not aware that any one has been appointed as yet. "The Legislature was still prorogued, and not expected to be in session before October next, the usual time, " Trade is extremely dull, and there appears no chance of matters being better for some time yet, although we hear it stated that the crops will be much better this year than last. " Fever is very prevalent just now, as it always is at this season of the year, but the mortality is nothing to speak of in any way, it being chiefly confined to children and old people. "The weather has been intensely hot for the last ten days, and we have scarcely a breath of air, which pro bably may be assigned as the cause of the prevalence of so much fever. There have been some slight showers of rain, but they appear to have made no improvement in the state of the weather ; and, on the contrary, tended to make it hotter, instead of cooler. They appear to have had a good deal of rain, however, in the interior, from the appearance of the mountains and from the sound of distant thunder, which has been heard re peatedly." In the Jamaica markets business was very dull. Flour had been in small supply, and had therefore realised good prices. Bread was abundant. Butter was very scarce. Corn was plenty, but exceedingly dull of sale. In the money-market exchanges on London wero quoted for bills at 90 days' date 1 per cent. premium ; 60 days', 11, per cent. pre mium ; 30 days', 2 per cent. premium. Her Majesty's steamer Blizzard., which arrived at Port Royal on the 22d ult., reported the total wreck of her Majesty's brig Wolverine on the Con form Cove, about 160 miles to the north of Grey town, on the 11th ult. The whole of the officers and crew were saved. At British Guiana the memorial against the irregularities of the Royal Mail Steam-packet Com pany had been numerously signed, and was to be forwarded to the Secretary of State for the Colo nies, accompanied by a representation from the Governor and the Court of Policy upon the subject. In reference to this document the Royal Gazette says— " The memorial is drawn up with great ability, and is accompanied by tables showing the dates of the arrival and departure of the mails in the years 1853 and 1854. From these tables it appears that the steamers arrived at their proper dates 19 times only during the two years, and that they wore overdue 29 times for periods varying from one day to 13. There are six grounds of complaint embodied in the memorial—namely, the withdrawal of so many of the Transatlantic steamers and the substitu tion for them of smaller vessels, intended only for the intercolonial route ; the inefficiency of the vessels em ployed for the interco'onial service ; the want of a suf ficient number of steamers to perform the service ; the time wasted in coaling at St. Thomas ; the employment of only one steamer, instead of two, between St. Thomas and Trinidad and St. Thomas and this colony, in conse quence of which the mails are not delivered here until the mails for England are closed, thus preventing the inhabitants from replying by the same packet, as they ought to be able to do ; and, lastly, the non-enforcement of the penalties provided for breaches of contract. The copy of the memorial and the resolutions of the public meeting were laid before the Court of Policy, with a re quest from the secretary of the meeting that the Court would make a representation to her Majesty's Govern ment upon the subject. The following resolution was entered upon the minutes of the Court That his Ex cellency be requested to forward the memorial and reso lutions to her Majesty's Government, with the expres sion of the full concurrence of this Court in the prayer of the said memorial, and the earnest hope that her Majesty's Government will give effect to the said prayer. Tho Court of Policy re-assembled on the 15th ult., and, after sitting three days, adjourned until the 3d of September. Some differences had arisen between the Government and Messrs: Booker, Brothers, and Co., respecting the Demerara Ferry Contract, in consequence of an accident which had occurred to the Rattlesnake steamer while convey ing convicts from Essequibo. The Court of Policy ordered that no arrangement should be entered into until the necessary repairs to the vessel had been effected. His Excellency the Governor had pro posed to apply to the Imperial Government to grant to the colony permission to appropriate the military buildings in the garrison at Fort Canjo, Berbice, for an hospital, and also for the reception of pauper lunatics of the colony, instead of sending them, as had been previously pro posed, to the penal settlement at Massaruni. Tho buildings at Fort Canje originally cost 370,0001. for their erection ; and some years ago about one half of them were taken down and the materials sold for about 1,0001. It was hoped that her Ma jesty's Government would accede to the applica tion. A bill had been prepared by his Excellency to amend the laws and constitution of British Guiana, which had met with the general approval of the colony. The Court of Policy haVe passed the bill for authorising the incorporation of the London and Demerara Railway directors and for altering the places of the general meetings of the company from London to Liverpool, and for em powering the company to raise the sum of 20,0001. to pay off the existing liabilities of the railway an eon to put the line in good working order betw bytGeorgeto wnhe Government.T am Tamar cl fAo Bur Another i l t I e ee l r d sb . a inuc T r h 3o e snh b o i or l l ft l w yh a e t s r sent e i h n o t m r 0 Majesty's home to compel the company to complete the line to Mahaica within two years, and for providing that the colony shall guarantee interest on any sum not exceeding 20,000/., to be expended in completing the line from Belfield to Mahaica. The weather at British Guiana was very hot and sultry, and there was very little rain. The canes were thriving luxuriantly, and the planters were beginning to get busy with the operation of cutting their crops. There was not much sickness in the colony. The exports since the departure of the last mail amount to—sugar, 1,532 hogsheads, 121 tierces ; 268 barrels ; rum, 972 puncheons, 162 hogsheads, 63 barrels ; molasses, 32 puncheons ; shrub, 1 barrel; coffee, 1 barrel; cocoanuts, 12,200; ox bides, 350 ; ox horns, 1,877 ; charcoal, 53 tierces, 1,232 barrels ; shingles, 114,000 ; green heart timber, 134 logs ; firewood, 17 cords ; oranges, 20 barrels ; plantains, 50 bunches ; cassa rippo, 1 bottle ; herrings, 50 barrels. Business among the merchants continued dull. At Grenada a want of labour for the cane culti vation still continued, but hopes were entertained that the 7,000/. loan which had been granted by Parliament for the introduction of coolie immi grants would help to assist in the procuring of At .Acatigua a want of labour was felt. The wea ther, which for some time was dry, had changed, and a great quantity of rain had fallen. The bark Gleaner, of Glasgow, which left Trinidad on the 20th of July, with a.cargo of sugar, rum, and cocoa, stuck on the Horseshoe on the night of the 24th. The sugar was entirely lost. Barbadoes and .the other northern islands had been visited by a hurricane of unusual severity, and a severe shock of an earthquake was felt at Trinidad. At Barbadoes the brig New City of Cork, Baynes master, dragged both anchors, and went ashore on the pierhead, and was dashed to pieces. The captain and boatswain were washed overboard and drowned. The bark William Large and schooner Koh-i-noor went on shore at the same time ; the former was wrecked, but the latter would, it was expected, be got off. At St. Vin cent's two vessels were likewise lost, at Martinique two, and at Dominica two. There was no damage done to the town or country beyond the blowing down of a few trees.

THE ORDER OF THE BATH. 816 734 TIE WEATHER AND TEE CROPS. WARNIINSTER.—During the past week the weather .has been remarkably fine, excepting a little rain which fell on Thursday afternoon. A great quantity of corn has been secured, but in some parts of the neighbour hood.many fields are yet uncleared. DARNESHAM.—The potato crop in this neighbourhood has been more abundant than for many years past. As an illustration, we would state that Samuel White, of this place, on Friday last, without any assistance, dug the large quantity of 20 sacks in the short space of 12 hours. The sample is remarkably fine. MARLBOROUGH.—AIthough the crops are backward in our neighbourhood, yet a great portion of them have been housed in good condition, and should we be fa voured with a few more fine days an average crop will be stacked in prime condition. The potato crop turns out much better than was anticipated, affording a good yield, and in most cases free from disease.—Salisbury Journal. The harvest is going on rapidly, and should the fine weather continue another fortnight most of the corn will be gathered in excellent condition. The greater part of the wheat is carried, but we fear we have large hollow stacks with but little corn in them. The wheat in some parts is much blighted, and when cut a quantity of dust flies from it at every blow of the hook, which so dis coloured the clothes of the reapers that it made them look like ruddle men, and from what we can hear of the little that is thrashed the yield is bad, a fair standing crop only producing about three quarters per acre. If such is generally the ease, how will it be with the large breadth which was partly killed by the severe weather in the winter, or thin from other causes ? The crop of barley is just being cut ; it is edge-grown, and ripens In evenly, but is a bulky crop. The sample appears to be very inferior, the greater part totally unfit for malting, having been laid early by the heavy rains. There are a few standing crops which will no doubt produce better corn, and command high prices. The oat crop is gene rally good, and promises a fair yield. Beans are much better than was at one time expected, and where thick enough will be more than an average crop. Peas aro also podded well. Tares are moetly carted in excellent condition, and few are brought to market, for which ex orbitant prices are asked, most of those in the tare-grow ing districts being killed by the frosts of last winter. The crop of fruit is generally pretty good, especially the stone fruit, which is very heavy.—Berkshire Chronicle, The farmers in the environs - of the moors of Devon the moor men as they arc commonly called—are now gathering in their corn, and should the fine weather con tinue they will soon finish harvest. Their crops are at least an average in quantity, and the quality is unusually good. Comparatively a small quantity of new corn has yet been carried to market, but wethink it will not beprudent in the farmers to withhold long.— Western Flying Post. Harvest operations in the south-eastern division of this county are nearly brought to a close, and more aus picious weather for the ingathering of the crops was never remembered. There is a large breadth of land planted with potatoes, and the recent dry weather has proved no little boon in preserving this esculent from the blight, which at one period had partial:) , made its ap pearance in some planes. But few complaints reach us of the disease ; and the yield and quality of the late crops, it is hoped, may yet prove satisfactory.—Essex Herald. CHOLERA.—Sinco the 10th of June, up to the present date, there have been about 1,900 cases of cholera in Dantzic, of which 1,200 have terminated fatally. There were, up to the 13th Sept., 631 cases in Stettin, of which 347 were deaths, 137 recovered, and the remain der were under treatment. Nevew FAIR, Sept. 17.—Our September fair was held on Monday, and notwithstanding the unfavourableness of the weather in the forenoon, the supply,of cattle, &c., including, a good deal of stock shown by the wealthy feeders of this county, was not inconFiderablo. In ad dition to the ordinary early trains from Drogheda, Duleck, and Beauparc, the Dublin and Drogheda Rail way Company despatched special trains at an early hour for the conveyance of those anxious to attend the fair- The attendance of buyers was g reater than that of Fel lers, which bad the eff ect of giving an upward tendency to prices of most kinds of stock. Prime beef sold at about same rates as those obtained a week previously at the fair of Kells, and may be quoted at to 61d. per lb. The demand was good. The exhibition of I.eep was also to lerable, they brought high prices, mut ton ranging from 6,1 d. to 7d. per lb. Bacon pie- 8 , were not in demand, but stores were sought after, and sold at advanced prices.

V ' 4' Oliva and Military Intelligeno6. The Prince Regent, 90, sailing-ship, is, it is reported, to be converted into a hulk or receiving ship, for the accommodation of crews of vessels fitting out, &c. Sho is a fine ship, built at Chatham in 1823, of 2,613 tons burden. She was a 120-gun ship originally, but was razed to a two-decker. The brig Siren, 16 guns, Commander Otway, is or dered to the Brazils. She is to leave on Thursday next, calling at Portsmouth and Devonport. The Lizard and Adder steam-veFsels have returned to Sheerness from towing the Calcutta to the Downs. Both have received damage by collision. The Urgent, iron screw steam store-ship, Commander Phillips, is ordered to prepare to take on hoard provi sions and stores for the ships now serving in the Baltic:. The sailing-transport Columba, No. 110, was towed into Portsmouth harbour yesterday afternoon to land her invalids. Only about a dozen of them were so bad as to require stretchers, and these were removed at once, on landing, to the Military Hospital. The steam-transport Black Sea, No. 196, arrived at Spithead yesterday afternoon from the East, but with no invalids. The Amity steam-transport, No. 177, left Portsmouth yesterday afternoon for the Thames. Her Majesty's store-ship Tyne, Master-Commander Peter Wellington, arrived yesterday at Woolwich, with condemned stores from Ascension and Rio Janeiro. OFFICIAL VISIT TO PORTSMOUTH. A Board of Admiralty, conisting of the Right Hon. Sir C. Wood, M.P., First Lord, and Rear-Admiral Richards, C. 8., arrived at Portsmouth by the express train yesterday evening at 6 o'clock, to commence their annual visit of inspection. They proceeded immediately to the Dockyard, where their flag w as hoisted, and saluted by the Victory. They were joined, on arrival , by Rear-Admiral the Right Hon. Sir M. F. F. Berkeley, K.C.8., M.P., who arrived by an earlier train from Chichester. The programme of their Lordships' move ments is not yet known, except the dining appointments. These aro as follows :—Last evening with the Port Ad• miral at the Admiralty-house ; this evening with the Admiral -Superintendent of the Dockyard ; to-morrow evening with the Lieutenant-Governor of the garrison, after which they adjourn to a ball at the Seamen and Marines Orphan Schools, Portsea, in aid of the funds of that charity ; Friday evening their Lordships will enter tain the before-mentioned officials, the Mayor, and other dignitaries at the George Hotel, and conclude their visit on Saturday. Their Lordships will sleep each even ing on board their steam-yacht Black Eagle in Ports mouth harbour. Dr. Andrew Smith, the Director-General of the Army and Ordnance Medical Department, accompanied by Dr. Forrest, Deputy-Inspector of Hospitals, visited Portsmouth yesterday, to make an official inspection of the hospital transports Great Tasmania, Saldanha, and the three-decker Britannia, in Portsmouth harbour ; also the General Military Hospital in Portsmouth , garrison. They were attended by the medical staff of the latter establishment, and expressed their satisfaction 'at the state of the ships for the reception of invalids, the condition of the hospital, and the treatment and the progress of the inmates. After their inspection at Portsmouth, the Director-General and Deputy-Inspector .eft for Chichester. l ARRIVAL OF THE ALBAN. The Alban, 4 guns, paddle-wheel steam-vessel, Lieut.- Commander Wm. E. Fisher, arrived at Sheerness on Monday evening from Heligoland. She left Heligoland on Saturday last. No fresh cases of cholera had ap peared on board for several days previous to her depar ture, and no cases remained on the sick list from that disease. She experienced very bad weather during her being employed in transporting volunteers for the Fo reign Legion from Heligoland to Dover. On her last passage out from Dover she was obliged to put into the Texel owing to strong gales from the eastward. The Alban exchanged signals with the Otter, 3 guns, paddle wheel steam-vessel. Lieutenant• Commander John H. Glover, off Heligoland. The Otter is ordered to pro ceed to Portsmouth direct on particular service. The Alban has since her departure from Sheerness conveyed more than 500 volunteers from Heligoland to Dover for the Foreign Legion, all of whom were apparently good soldiers. They are spoken of in the highest terms by the commander of the Alban for their state of discipline, sobriety, and obedience to orders while on board the Alban. They all expressed their desire to join the army in the East. One case of cholera on board the Alban proved fatal ; it was that of a marine named Whitfield ; be was a man of nervous temperament and weekly con stitution. EXPERIMENTS WITH ELECTRIC AND OTHER LIGHTS AT WOOLWICH. On Monday evening last, a lengthened experiment took place at Woolwich, on the upper part of the Com mon, in the presence of the select committee. The ex periments were with three different kinds of light, for war and other purposes. The one, an Electric Light, which was shown by the operator, Mr. Ingliss ; the second, the Drummond, or Lime Light, shown and cperatvl upon by Sergeant R. P. Jones, of the Royal Sappers and Miners; and the third, the Bude Light, by a Mr. Gurney, residing in the county of Cornwall, who is the original inventor, but has entrusted it to the care of Sergeant .Tones, who is a most intelligent and scien -1 tifie officer, and who is labouring hard to bring it to per fection. The three lights were all in readiness on the top of the mound, round the reservoir on the tap of the Com mon, at 8 o'clock, and at half-past S several members of 'the committee arrived, among whom we noticed General W. Cater, RA., Colonel W. H. Pickering, MA., Colonel A. Tulloh, RA., Colonel Cole, RE, and nu merous other officers whom we could not recognise through the dazzle of the lights. The relative powers of each were minutely entered into by the various gentlemen of the committee, and the electric light was shown to the officers, which is caused by a reflector being placed behind the electric light, and with which Mr. lngliss purposes to bring ob jects visible at a distance of ono mile, but was not realised on this occasion. The Drummond or Lime Light was also shown by means of parabolic reflectors, which caused a most excellent light at a great distance, and made objects visible at a distance of from 500 to 600 yards ; but, on a clear night, an object can be seen distinctly at a much greater distance. The next was the Buds Light, which caa be carried by hand, and which the sergeant explained to the committee, and likewise operated upon it in their presence, so that it reflected a light at from 300 to 400 yards, showing objects dis tinctly at that distance. For the purpose of ascertaining the correct distance at which the lights reflected, a number of the Royal Ar tiilery were brought OA to the Common, and drawn up at different distances, and which were moved about ac cording to the wishes of the operators. A more unfavourable night for the experiment could scarcely have been chosen, as, during the whole time, a dense heavy moist atmosphere prevailed, causing the re flectors to loose their power, more especially that of the Drummond light, which was exposed the whole time, while the reflector of the electric light was protected from the weather by a sort of casing round the three sides. The reflectors got so damp as not to have the power of penetrating so far as they otherwise would have done had the weather been clear and dry. We cannot refrain from stating that the electric light certainly has the power of penetrating further, and pro duces more brilliant light, but the Drummond light has its advantages over the other in many respects, although producing not quite so clear a light on this as on former occasions. One great advantage is, that the Drummond 1, light is more portable, and can e carried by two or three men, each taking a portion of the apparatus, while the electric light is so cumbersome as to-require a wag gon, drawn by two horses, to convey it from place to place,
