Its perusal is tarticularly 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 beiitg is entitled. It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there are ,rincipl es of personal management which cannot be violated without ncuering 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 he removed, rld how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, t - tat there It scarcely any ,dei;ree of physical indrmity or functional laral:;etnent to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. rut Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive ?,. actice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have unfortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant e:nptries, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in their pretensions.

Yesterday afternoon a meeting of gentlemen interested in the proceedings of the " Association for Protection of the Trade of the Port of London against Dock Mo nopoly," was held in the Ship Tavern, Water-lane, to receive a report from the business committee with respect to the dock companies' bills now before Parlia ment. The meeting was pretty numerously attended, and the chair was taken by Mr. W. J. Hall. The CHAIRMAN, in commencing the proceedings, said the object of the meeting was to enable the business committee of the association to communicete to their friends what had been done up to the present time in the way of opposing the bills now before Parliament at the instance of the dock companies, and also to ask their co-operation with a view to defeat those measures. They had also sent copies of the report of the association to every chamber of commerce in the United Kingdom, and to every member of Parliament. He had much pleasure in telling them that the appeal has been re sponded to in a very satisfactory manner. Many of the public journals had commented favourably upon the report, and the chambers of commerce had requested their local members to co-operate with the committee in throwing out the bills upon the second reading. The committee had likewise written to Mr. Cardwell re questing an interview, in order that they might ascertain his views upon the subject, and whether he was prepared to allow the dock companies to proceed with their mea sures. They had not yet received his reply, but they expected to have it in the course of that day. They had also obtained the promise of an interview with Lord John Russell on Friday next, but that morning his lord ship wrote to say that, being summoned to go abroad, he would be unable to receive the deputation. The following was the note addressed to the secretary of the association : " Lord John Russell presents his complimente to Mr. Sidney Smith, and as he leaves England on Thurs day on a special mission to Vienna, he regrets ex tremely that he will not be able to receive the deputa tion on Friday next." Mr. BESLEY moved a resolution to the effect that the attempt now made by the dock companies of London to procure the repeal of the exemption clauses of their former acts was a direct breach of faith with the public, and a clear violation of the express conditions on which their powers of incorporation were conceded to them, as well as of the prescriptive, customary, and common-law rights of the traolers of the free port of London. Mr. SMITH seconded the resolution, which was unani mously agreed to. Other resolutions having been passed, a vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings. At the meetings of the Iberian and Peninsular Min in4 Companies, held yes terday afternoon, both conducted by the same directors and under similar management, the report; were adopted. The works are stated to be going on satisfActorily, and, with improved arrangement at the mines, the produce is steadily increasing ) while the ex penditure has been diminished. The retirement of Mr. Pegler, the original chairman, was followed by the institution of Chancery suits against him and others for improperly dealing with shares of the companies, but the proceedings have lately been compromised by the return of 2,100 shares in the case of the Iberian, and 500 shares in the case of the Peninsular Company. The respective balances of 1,765/. and 2,20 . 01. are consid ere d sufficient to carry on operations, the present retur ns being also applied with the eanCtl9l2 the Ohitrehtfidere. . . _ ~~ ~ / ~ ... . . ~ . • .

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOUBNALS. depreciation of his currency by the issue of paper money, redeemable three years after the re-establishment of peace (a measure, by the way, which creates a peace party, fir every holder of such paper must look anxiously for the period •f its redemption), may affect the determi nation of the Emperor of Russia, when combined with the threatening prospect of a war with the greater part of Europe. The• Emperor has dared much : time only can show if he will dare more. as it is at present established. No one knows this better than the Czar ; and hence his object is to weaken them by severing that union, or creating such distrust and animosity between the two nations as may at least prevent their, uniting against him with perfect harmony for the recovery of Finland (that most in famous of Russian robberies), or at a future day of ford him a pretext for Russian protection or interfer ence in any dispute which may arise between Norway and Sweden. WToe to the unhappy country that allows itself to become enc . re!ed in the deadly, snake-like coils of Russian protection ! It being so important to Russia to obtain possession of Norway, it follows that it is of equal importance to England and France, as the great maritime Powers, to prevent her doing so, and for that pur pose to uphold the existing union tatween Norway and Sweden in all its integrity. The honour and in terests of the Britisli and French people are involveil in this question to an extent that is but little appre• elated at present. Considering the part which Englan, took in establishing the existing union between Sweden and Norway, tie maintenance of that union, and th constitution of Norway, aro sacred obligations on the part of the British Empire. But, nations, as well as individuals, are not free from selfishness. While I thus call attention to our duty to Norway and Sweden, I will, with your permission, enter into a few more particulars, which sArve to show how amply the performance of that duty will be repaid to us by the intimate and zealous alliance of the Norwegians and Swedes. The alteration in our navigation laws has occasioned a large number of Norwegian and Swedish vessels to be annually chartered by British merchants ; and the ruin of the British shipping interests, predicted by the opponents of free trade, has yet to be verified ; in truth the commerce of England has become so enor mously developed that the services of Swedish and Nor wegian vessels, for the purposes of a portion of our carrying traffic, have become of great and growing im portance to British merchants. From the earliest times of modern navigation the Norwegian seamen have been the most daring and adventurous of navigators. This naturally results from their superiority of race, the great extent of their ocean coast, and the heavy seas to which it is constantly exposed for upwards of 1,200 miles. From childhood the Norwegian seaman is constantly in the midst of danger, and thence his cool daring and ad mirable seamanship. In 1852 the Norwegian mercantile marine, of all classes and sizes, comprised— Ships. Tonnage. Men. 4,089 653 herring ships. --<:>-- - - ( From the Times of this day.) Scarcely sixty years have elapsed since the aspiring rulers of the Prussian Monarchy viewed with well founded suspicion and alarm the influence which the Empress Catherine was labouring to extend over the continent of Europe. The partition of Poland, the failure of Prussia in her two greet strngeles with the revolu tionary armies of France, and the ascendancy acquired by AlexarenT in the campaign of 1:813, as well as in the subsequent negotiations, gave to Russia wird she had long been seeking to obtain, and from that time may be traced the progressive decline of the independence of the Prussian Crown. The result of these systonatic ma niceuvree is now before us. In the greatest crisis of Eu ropean affairs which has occurred fur forty years Prussia alone refuges to tike a part. The s3stem she actually pursues is one she dares rot avow, fur it is precisely that which Russia prescribed to her under the title of a "friendly neutrality ;" and the principles to which, in common with the Western Powers, she has given her formal assent, have in no degree proved binding on her conthict. The progress of events continues to render this position of Prussia more and more precarious; for on the one hand, if the war continues, it must soon extend to the German Powers, and challenge her co-operation or her hostility ; and, on the Other, if the negotiations for peace now about to open at Vienna dead to any satisfactory results, the King of Prussia betrays the greatest irrita tion and annoyance at finding himself excluded from conferences in which he once hoped to play an influential part. To enable the Prussian Government to meet or to evade these difficulties, and to retain its position in Europe without forfeiting its alliance with Russia or in curring the resentment of the Czar, several expedients have been resorted to. M. von Usedom was despatched to this country on a personal mission from the King, to announce the consent of that Sovereign to enter into engagements with England and France similar to those contracted with Austria, and to place a Prussian corps d'armee on the eastern frontier, provided the Western Powers would engage not to cause their troops to enter Germany, or to attempt the reconstitution of Poland by revolutionary means. At a more recent period M. von Wedell has been despatched to Paris with proposals of a somewhat similar character. He has been received there with cold civility, and the French Government have shown no eagerness to close with these overtures ; perhaps, indeed, they feel none, and are not altogether sorry to see the Prussian Government deprived of the support of its two natural Allies—England aril Austria. However this may be, it is certain that none of the Allied Courts will be in duced to consent to the return of Prussia to her former position in the conferences of Europe until she has for neatly accepted engagements fully equivalent to those on which the other Powers are already acting, both as to the objects of the present contest and the means of ob taining them. The mere adhesion of Prussia to the. treaty of the 2d of December, which would at the time . have been of considerable advantage to Europe, is now a matter of comparative indifference, for that treaty had an eventual rather than a positive character, and the ne gotiations of the three Allied Courts have considerably advanced since it was signed. Their military • commis sioners are engaged, both at Paris and at Vienna, in determining the nature of their military operations in the event of the failure of the negotiations about to com mence at Vienna, and no engagement of Prussia would be of material value at the present time which did not secure her active co-operation on the side of the Allies, in the event of a continuance of the war. She may possibly be the more ready to give that required promise, inasmuch as she professes to have un bounded confidence in the desire of the Emperor Ni cholas to accept the conditions of the Allies ; and she may, at any rate, be assured that her voice will not be heard again in any of the great diplomatic transactions of Europe on any other terms. The Western Powers would probably consent to conclude with Prussia sepa rate treaties of alliance to gratify the wiehes of the King, provided those treaties irrevocably bound the Prussian Government to the same course of active policy as Austria aad themselves. We have some reason to The result of this Congress depends upon the will of the Emperor of Russia. If he be as sincere in his desire for peace ai we ar9, then a happy pacification will be the result, and treaties will he signed which will in every respect guarantee the Ottoman Empire, restrain Russia for the future, and sati,fy our int,:rests and our honour. ( From the Morniny Chronicle of this day. ) We are indebted to a weli-informed correspondent for an interesting communication, which we publish in our columns of to-day, on the tendency of the graying po licy of Russia to continue her encroachments upon the possessions of her weaker neighbours in the North. Sweden has already experienced the consequence of insatiable thirst for dominion displayed by her ra pacious neighbour, and by the loss of the province of Finland and through the overbearing influence of Russia, that once powerful kingdom hid sunk before the commencement of this war into the vassalage of the Court of St. Petersburg. The Czar has ever cast A long ing eye upon the Atlantic coast of Norway, not so much for the mere territorial acquisition, as from the immense advantages that would accrue to his navy by the pos session of so valuable a coast, with its maritime popula tion. The coast of Norway, and especially the Varanger Fjord, would afford to Russia spacious harbours, ever free from the thraldom of ice, :for her•navy, and above 30,000 of the finest senora in the world wherewith to replace her present inferior mariners. The present hostilities have checked for the moment any am bitious designs on the part of Russia, and the energies of that Power will be taxed to preserve her present ill-gotten possessions in the Baltic. The war once concluded, the ruling passion of the St. Petersburg Government will again lead to a return of its ancient views upon the Norwegian coast. It therefore behoves the Aliied Powers to take into consideration, when the sincere conferences for peace shall have commenced, the undue influence which has hitherto weighed down the northern kingdoms to the prejudice of their national development. The peace of Europe is no less threatened by the terrorism of Russia in the North than by her preponderance of power in the Black Sea. The neutrality hitherto maintained by Sweden and her sister kingdom has certainly resulted in a great measure to the benefit of the Czar. Through the Swedish provinces bordering on Finland articles most necessary to Russia have been doubtless freely transported over the frontier. In the probable extension- on which the war threatens to enter, it is every day becoming more andp palpable that a be p fo o r s e iti t o h n e o e f prin neugtrathlie yCis impracticable, of Stock holmt will discover the necessity of deferring to the wishes of the nation, and will enter into an al liance, worthy of the old fame of Sweden, with the Western Powers. The predilections evinced by the monarch of Sweden and Nor way for the cause of the Czar is undeniable, and the late con tinued exchange of autographic letters between Oscar and the King of Prussia confirms us in this opinion. The neutrality observed hitherto by Sweden has been, we repeat, entirely one-sided, although doubtless it has proved most beneficial to the trading interests of the Scandinavian nation. That gallant people sympathises heartily with the just cause for which Great Britain and France are in arms, and it is, we believe, the Court of Sweden alone that views the Russian Emperor other wise than in an hostile light. The peculiar position of King Oscar will, h owever, finally induce that monarch to sacrifice all personal sen timents to the interest of the noble people over whom he reigns. The House of Bernadotte can scarcely lay claim to the divine right of kings,and owes its high position,not to any hereditary right, but entirely to the tacit admission of the great European Powers. Any opposition to the inte rests of Austria, France, and Great Britain would cer tainly tend to neutralise the effect of that recognition by those countries. We do not doubt that the illustrious example offered by the Sardinian Government will be met with due consideration by the other secondary Powers of Europe, and that the Scandinavian kingdom will recognise the opportunity of asserting its dignity as a nation by avenging past insults and recovering its despoiled provinces. The magnitude of the approaching contest will in time demand the cessation of neutrality enjoyed so far by many of the secondary Powers of Europe, to the prejudice of the Western Powers. The struggle in which we are engaged requires the utmost strength that the civilisation of Europe can put forth— not to resist the aggressive arms of the Czar, but to secure a lasting peace to the world by depriving Russia of the power of further evil. In no spot is the rroprierern - Mend.sualstaga i tikt than in thh - provinheir °fas Baltic, where the iron' * trespotisin of the Conqueror has never ceased to be felt. In the fine province of Finland the population would hail with enthusiasm the presence of the enemies of Russia. The golden oppor tunity that offers itself to the smaller Powers of the North to emancipate themselves from the oppressive in fluence of the Czar will perhaps never return, and to hesitate at the present moment would be, on the part of the Sovereign of Sweden, treason to his country. We are united by no common bonds to the Swedish and Norwegian uatien4. The ties of kindred, religicn, and the honest love. of liberty, are not forgotten, and right willingly would those two glorious nationalities join in the coalition which is preparing against the selfish bar barism of the North. The time is not far distant, we trust, when, united with the Westere Powers, the descendants of the men who fought under Charles XII. and Gustavus will renew the heroism of their ancestors. Should the three great Powers hesitate in 'cultivating the active alliance of the Scandinavian kingdom, it would be a subject ever to be deplored. The active co-operation of Sweden, sup ported by a strong allied army, would prove a death blow to the preponderance of the Czar in the Baltic pro vinces. If secured by a just treaty against the fulaire retaliation of Russia, minor objections might doubtless be smoothed over, and Sweden would be enabled to render active assistance in the approaching campaign. The military resources of that kingdom would permit the disposal of an army of 25,000 bayonets that could act in common with a French force on Russian territory. The disposition of the Swedish army is excellent, and the general condition and disciplineof thetreops unequalled. Several recent changes in the army have increased its efficiency. All the old officers have been placed in retreat, and a general promotion has taken place amongst the subalterns. The naval forces of Sweden and Norway would be enabled to render valuable assistance to any operations that may be under taken by the British fleet in the Baltic. Experience has taught us that in the narrow shoals of that sea our liege men-of-war and monster steamers are next to useless. The fleet of gun-boats possessed by Sweden would then be invaluable. According to the letter of our corre spondent, Norway alone has 120 of these admirable boats, 80 of which are armed each with two 601 b. kingdom possesses 250 gun boatshowitzers, "gl3n 'sea men descends fro m ant i qu i ty, an d h as never Several months must still The fame of the Nor- lost its primitive lustre. of similar whilst construction.sister elapse before naval and military operations can be under taken in the Baltic ; but when that moment shall have .arrived it will witness, we trust, the active union with he Western Powers of the kingdom of Sweden. 25,388 to which it is estimated there may be made at the pre sent time an addition of at least 20 per cent. In round numbers, the seamen employed in the mercantile marine of Norway therefore now amount to 30,000. For many years the Norwegians have been occupied in erecting suitable establishments for their navy, to gether with the requisite fortifications for their security. The Norwegian fleet is small, but well calculated for the purpose for which it is intended. At present it consists of 18 frigates, corvettes, and schooners, armed with from two to forty-eight guns, a large proportion of which comprise 601 b. howitzers for shot, or percussion shells of great power and certainty, known as " Frederickson's." Of the above eighteen vessels, eight are steamers. But the arm upon which the Norwegians justly pride themselves is their fleet of 120 gun-boats, which are admirably adapted for service in the fjords, as well as in the Baltic. They are propelled by sails and sweeps, and draw only 2 feet 6 inches of water when fully armed and stored. Eighty of these gun-boats are armed with two of the formidable 601 b. howitzers I have already described—one forwards, the other aft. The Frede ricksen shells are of a peculiar and secret construction, invented in Norway, and celebrated there for the un erring certainty and power with which they explode on striking any hard substance, such as a ship's side, &c., as well as for their never bursting by ricochet on water. The Swedish fleet is considerably larger than the Nor wegian ; in addition to its ships and steam fleet, it in cludes more than 250 gun-boats of similar construction and power to the Norwegian. The electric telegraph is well suited to the require ' merits of Norway and Sweden, and it is being extensively introduced there. By next summer Christiania as well as Stockholm will form links of the great Euro pean chains of lines radiating from London and Paris. On another occasion I will, with your permission, revert to the interesting subject of Sweden and Norway. hope that a scheme of this nature is at this very time under the consideration of the Cabinet of Berlin, which must perceive that its decision is in the highest degree critical. Another week of hesitation, or another cabal of the Court party at Berlin, may cut off all retrea', and leave the King of Prussia entirely out of those combina tions which must powerfully affect not only the state •f the East, but the balance of power in Europe. It must not be supposed at Berlin that, whatever may NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. be the traditional feelings of sympathy in this country towards the chief Protestant State of Northern Ger: many, these considerations would have the slightes effect on any British statesmen at the present time, The feeling of this country tows a. tba ..I.l,9sittN* vernment is !sore nearly • akintt(Ofh ittlet.ias fv!;!,t Government perpetrated the annexation of-Hanover, in obedience to the injunctions of Napoleon ; fee we cannot but regard the equivocal conduct of the Prussian Minis ters as one of the chief causes of the war, and one of the circumstances most likely to extend and prolong its evils. It is pr( bablo that Lord Joha Russell, in proceeding as British Plenipotentiary to Vienna, will perform his jour ney by way both of Paris acid of Berlin, to place those Courts in full possession of the latest views of the British Cabiii‘t, and all uncertainty will be removed from the mind of the King of Prussia by so autlio rit itive a communication from this country. The present position of affairs presents in more than one point a striking analogy to cur relations with Prussia in 179t3, just after she had withdrawn from the contest with France by the treaty of Basle, and subsided for ten years into that ignoble neutrality from which alio was roused by the cannon of Jena. At that time the Under-Secretary of State, Mr. Hammond, the grandfather, we believe, of the gentleman now filling the same office, was despatched by Mr. Pitt to Berlin to endeavour to induce the King of Prussia to assume at lzast an attitude of armed neutrality, in order to join his efforts to our own in favour of the restoration of peace. Haugwitz, the Prussian Minister, rejected these pro posals, because, he said, if Prussia took up arms she would be inevitably led to side with one of the bellige rents against the other ; and Mr. Hammond proceeded to Vienna, says the historian of that period, " with a conviction that nothing could change the dispositions of the Court of Prussia, as long as Haugwitz and his secretary, Lombard, supported by a powerful party in the State, enjoyed the confidence of the King." The coincidence is so exact that one may fancy Haugwitz and Lombard to be still in power. These communications must, however, have the ad vantage of bringing the conduct of the Court of Berlin to a decisive test. The mission of Lord John Russell will satisfy all Europe that the Western Powers enter with earnestness and sincerity on these negotiations, and a few days will decide whether Prussia is to take part in them or not, it being distinctly established that no Power does take part in them which is not fully pre pared to brave all the hazards of war in the event of their failure. The course pursued by the King in this emergency will determine, for the rest of his reign, whether he is to be the vassal of Russia or the head of North Germany and the ally of. England—whether he will connive at the prolongation of a horrible and iniquitous war on the part of Russia, or combine with all the other Powers for the restoration of an honourable peace.

The following is the letter alluded to above : Sir, —The present war with Russia will nob have been without its lesson if it has only served to disclose the great extent of the Russian navy and naval establish ments. Few of us had previously heard of those upon the east coast of Asia, or the, uhrnber and power of the WhiteEm es. o s r e ' s a fl e e c t o s s i i n d the n g B ItahcokosSs year,ee extentas a , io t no h f e otfh ß No a s l oo t the coast s h e nee d s. Th e oo t uo h l d e d of his naval resources , it is obvious that Russia only t o of become in m t ea t ß o u n r o e o p e a , e fl w , e a e a y t n s w d , needs seamen, and an ocean line gu givenr e f a r o t Rs maritime s a i a t at the l e seasons power. seamen oTfahtnehdep vast sums expended by the Russian Government upon its fleets and naval establishments prove the importance it attaches to maritime power ; and the aggressive cha racter of the nation affords a sufficient warning to all others from the danger which must arise to them if due checks be not p l ace d upon the ulterior designs of Russia. With this view, I am anxious again to call your atten tion to the aggressive designs of the Czar upon Norway, as evidenced by his attempts to obtain a footing upon the Norwegian coast in the Varanger Fjord, on the east of the North Cape. In a previous letter to you on this sub ject, which appeared in the Morning Chronicle, I pointed out some of the advantages which would result to Russia if she should ever be allowed to obtain possession of Nor way, or even of the much-coveted Varanjer Fjord, inas much as that grand fjord affords a highway y to the ocean at all seasons of the year, its ample harbours never being frozen. I also noticed the treacherous designs and pro ceedings of the Russian Government in their attempts to carry their object of obtaining a footing upon the Norwe gian coast, and the great increase in population, produc tions, and commerce of Norway, which has resulted from the acquisition of her independence in 1814. A. brighter example of the effects of freedom, industry, and constitutional government does not exist. In a former paper you also published a long Communication from Copenhagen, in which was most clearly and admirably exposed the whole of t he Russian treaties and proceed ings bearing upon the Czar's designs as to the Norwegian coast. On other occasions you have also called public attention to these designs by your leading articles. The siege of Sebastepol and Russian aggression in Turkey are of such absorbing interest at the present time that there is much danger of Russian designs upon Nor way being lost sight of. It cannot be too widely known that the possession of Norway is of vital importance to Russia, and the more so now that her maritime supre macy in the Black Sea is effectually crushed for the pre sent. The articles which have appeared against Norway during the last year in a few of the leading journals of France, Germany, and Holland, prove that Russian agents are already at work endeavourin g to sow distrust in the minds of the Swedish and Norwegian people. Why has this been done ? It is time that this Ingo-like proceeding should be exposed. The strength of Nor , way and Sweden against Rtloga cubists t e i r union ARRIVAL OF RAILWAY ENGINEERS AT CONSTANTINOPLE. By advices received yesterday from Constantinople, the Prince of Wales steamer, with Mr. Kellock and the staff of the BsAaklava railway engineers, and the steamers Baron von Humboldt, Wildfire, and Black Prince, with railway plant and the corps of navvies, had all arrived, and passed on to the Crimea ; as also the Anne Maclean, laden with Lord Blantyre's stores of provisions, clothing, and comfort for the troops before Sebastopol. A SQUADRON OF OBSERVATION. An order is daily expected at Sheerness for several steam• vessels of light iraught of water (principally gun boats) to proceed to Copenhagen at the earliest oppertu-, pity on the breaking up of the ice, as a squadron of ob servation, to cut off communication and traffics with Russian ports in the Bhltic.

The vessel left on i Tuesday, with the good wishes of a large number of per sons who assembled to witness her departure. The Tyne still remains full of shipping. There are above 1,000 ships in port, the greater proportion of which are coal-laden. Sorhe of them have been waiting for a " sea tide" a month. (From the Morning Post of this day. ) The eager expectation with which the public awaits the action of the Administration which has just been in stalled in office is already, in a certain degree, satisfied by the first act of Lord Palmerston's Cabinet. The ap pointment of Lord John Russell as English Plenipoten tiary at the Congress of Vienna may be regarded as the most striking proof of the vigour, earnestness, and sin cerity with which we are ready to consider any sincere projects for settlement of the difficulties which distract Europe. It is, perhaps, more apparently than really singular that the first act of the Statesman whom the popular voice of his country has summoned by acclama tion to conduct the war is a great attempt at the imme diate achievement of peace. The meeting of Plenipotentiaries at Vienna is no piece of jugglery—no empty parade of diplomatic for malities, but will rather assume the character of a solemn assembling of great statesmen charged with mis sions of vital character ; and from the result of their negotiations must issue peace or war of a far more for midable nature than has yet been really contemplated. The mission of Lord John Russell on such an occa sion is no slight to Lord Westmoreland. At the Congress of Vienna England was represented by no less than four Plenipotentiaries —namely, Lord Castlereagh, the Duke of Wellington, Lord Olancarty, and Lord Stewart. France had also four Plenipotentiaries, Russia three, and in like manner the other Powers were represented. There is nothing, therefore, new in deputing more than one diplomatist on such an occasion. We believe that it is not unlikely that Russia and Francs will also send special statesmen to watch over their interests ; and it is understood that M. Titoff, well known for many years as Russian Ambassador at Constantinople, will most likely be com m i ss i one d b y th e Czar to act with Prince Gortschakoff on his part. M. Titoff is a man of great experience, and has a reputation for sagacity, which, nevertheless, has not rendered him so unpopular as to be generally called cunning. Lord John Russell starts at once with the necessary staff on his important journey. It is expected that the noble lord will leave London on Saturday for Paris, where he will, no doubt, have important interviews with the Emperor of the French and M. Drouyn de With e4atever rapidity, however, the noble lord may proceed on his journey, it is im possible not to remar k that, Berline opportunity yonseleiiksing interviews road, at the he will prob a bly take h Court of Berlin, of whic h no one who considers the impressionable nature of its policy can under ratetlyi n g directly re tl of highly mpr the importance. The Congress, it may not unreasonably be expected, will open in less than a fortnight. Austria, France, England, and Turkey will be, with Russia, the Powers represented thereat. Prussia can only enter upon one condition, viz., that of signing a treaty such as England and France require from her. With regard to prospects of a settlement, no one can say how far the drain upon he population, wliioh is the wealth of his empire, the APPOINTMENTS.

It is reported that Colonel Williams, late Assistant Adjutant-General at Kilkenny, and Colonel Rumley, Commandant at Parkhurst Barracks, are named as brigadiers to command the reserve force about to be concentrated at Malta. A draught of the depot of the 2d Regiment of Foot, consisting of eight officers and 200 men, and a draught of the depot of the 60th Rifles, consisting of 10 officers and 302 men, have been held in readiness to prooeed and join the service companies at the Cape of Good Hope. Her Majesty has been pleased to appoint Colonel W. R. Mansfield, of the 53d Regiment, to serve as an As sistant Adjutant-General upon the staff is Ireland, vice Colonel M'Murdo, appointed Director-General of the Land Transport Corps. Yesterday detachments of troops, consisting of an offi cer and 74 men of the 54th Regiment, and an officer and 54 men of the 66th Regiment, arrived at Liverpool from Leeds and Newcastle. At 4 o'clock they sailed in the steamer Princess for Dublin, whence they will be conveyed by railway to Cork for embarkation on board a transport or ship of war for the Crimea. THE MILITIA. The Royal Elthorne Regiment of Light Infantry, Major L. Murray Prier commanding, has had a large addition of recruits made to the strength of the regiment since it has been embodied at Uxbridge ; and Lieute nant Benboe has already taken his 75 volunteers to the tine, by which he obtains an ensignoy. Within the last year upwards of 500 men have left this corps for the line —many with leave, many without. More than the required number (600) of the Oxford shire Militia, now mustered at Oxford under the com mand of Colonel Bowles, have volunteered for active foreign duty. The corps comprises 800 men. They have made satisfactory progress in their drill. Captain Pipon has resigned his commission. Since the West Suffolk Militia has been embodied at Bury St. Edmunds, under the command of Earl Jertnyn, M.P., for that borough, upwards of 100 men have vo lunteered into the line regiments. Lieutenant J. Penrice has been appointed a Captain in the Norfolk Militia Artillery, vice Astley, who has been promoted. Second-Lieutenant E. Tredcroft has been appointed First-Lieutenant, vice Newcome, who has resigned. Second-Lieutenant C. North has been appointed First-Lieutenant, vice Penrice, promoted, and Mr. H. Mickleth waits has been appointed Second-Lieu tenant, vice Tredcroft, promoted. Three foreigners were on Monday enlisted into the 2d Somerset Militia ; two Frenchmen and one German. This is the first time for many years that any men of foreign extraction were enlisted in Cork. EXPENSE OF THE TRANSPORT SERVICE AND PRISONERS OF WAR. An estimate, separated from the navy estimates (of which an abstract is given elsewhere), but prepared by the naval department, states the total amount required for the transport service of the year 1855-56 to be 5,071,0321., and for the expense of prisoners of war, 100,0001., making together, with a sum of 10,4331. for superintendence, a grand total of 5,181,4651. Tile grand total amount voted in the navy estimates for the finan cial year 1854-55 was 3,582,474/. The prisoners of war appear to be kept in Milbay and Lewes prisons, and in the Devonshire prison-ship. The greater portion of the total aniount -.viz., the sum of 90,0641., is required for the allowance to officers on parole and their wives, pr. , - visions and clothing for prisoners, and for bedding and contingencier. An abstract of the transport service, appended to the estimates before us shows, that from the 7th of February, 1854, to the 22d of January, 1855, 102 steam transports were employed of 121,050 tun:- and 26,317 horse-power, and 115 sailing vessels of 93,172 tons ; the number of officers and men employed in the above vessels amounted to (about) 9,256. The total number of Br i ti s h t roo p s convoye d from England during the same period w as as f o ll ows : 2.194 officers (including those under orders for conveyance), 56,041 men and 5,403 horses. There were also co nve y e d t o the East from Marseilles and Toulon, 556 French officers, 14,055 French troops, 193 horses, and 8,037 tons of French stores ; and, to the Baltic, from &c., 437 French officers, 12,883 men, and 21 horsc. The gross total quantity of provisions and stores conveyed from Eng land during the period in question was as follows, viz. : —to the East, 33,261 tons of provisions for the navy, and 21,551 tons for the army service, 24,617 tons of ordnance stores, 151,596 tons of coals (conveyed by Colliers), and 3,320 tons of naval stores (exclusive of 7,130 tons from Malts), and to the Baltic, 9,436 tons of navy provisions, 266 tons of ordnance stores, 247 tons of naval stores, and 47,907 tons of coals (conveyed by col liers, and not by the transports). The grand total in cludes 8,187 officers, 82,934 men, 5,622 horses, 307,325 tons of provisions and stores, and 199,503 tons of coals. Of the sailing transports eight have been paid off, 14 wrecked, and one burnt ; and, of the steamers, one was wrecked. The steam sailing transports have also been employed as magazine, naval, and commissariat store-ships, and in conveying ammunition and stores from Gibraltar and Malta. Since the disembarkation the army, they have been employed in the conveyance of stores, provisions, ammunition, and troops from Malta and Corfu ; cattle from the shores of the Black Sea ; coals, charcoal and wood, provisions, and stores from Constantinople ; in the embarkation of French cavalry from Varna and Borg o 3 to the Crimea, Turkish troops from Varna to Eupatoria ; in the con veyance of the sick and wounded to Scutari, and invalids thence to Malta and England, and French troops, horses, and stores from Marseilles. NAVY ESTIMATES FOR 1855-56. The Navy Estimates for the ensuing year, 1855-56, have been laid before the House of Commons. The grand total amount of the sum required to be voted for the ser vice of the year is 10,716,3381., being a net increase of 299,0291. on the estimates for the financial year 1854-55. The following are the items of the estimate, viz.:- 2,885,5671. for the wages of seamen and marines, 1,374,081/. for victuals for the same, 140,4691. for the Admiralty-office, .50,0001. for the Royal Naval Coast Volunteers, 51,6761. for the scientific branch, 142,5711. for her Majesty's establishments at home, 26,9091. for her Majesty's establishments abroad, 1,102,2201. for wages of artificers employed at hone, 57,500/. for wages of artificers employed abroad, 2,928,3041. for naval stores, &c., for the building and repair of ships, 567,5681. for new works, improvements, and repairs in the yards, 62,1001. for medicines and medical stores, and 73,086/. for miscellaneous services. These are the items of the effective service. The non-effective service includes -635,4971. for half-pay, &c., to officers of the Navy and Royal Marines, 469,2221. for military pensions and al lowances, and 149,5581. for civil pensions and allow aloes. There is an increase on every item of the effec tive service, except on the scientific branch, the largest being on wages and victuals for seamen, wages to artifi cers, and naval stores. The item of 51,6761. for the scientific branch is thus divided—viz., 4,1761. for the Royal Observatory, 2,2891. for the observatory at the Cape of Good H0pe,'3,4201. for the "Nautical Almanac," 1,0001. for chronometers , 8571. for the compass depart ment, 2,0001. for rewar ds and experiments, 1001. for li braries and museums, 34,7131. for the hydrographical department, and 3,1211. for the establishment at the Royal Naval College, Portsmouth, for scientific educa tion. The French Police Department has been directed to draw up a report, as complete as possible, on the Carlist refugees residing in Paris, giving particulars as to their occupations, their mode of obtaining a livelihood, &c. It has again been suggested to the Government that the Spanish authorities on the frontier are not entirely free from apprehension so long as General Elio is suffered to reside in France, and that his expulsion from the terri tory of the empire is very desirable. A prospectus has been in circulation for come days for a pleasure trip to Sebastopol at the commencement of the spring season. The travellers are to start from Paris and proceed to Marseilles, thence to Constanti nople, next to the Crimea, afterwards to Egypt, and finally home by Algeria. The vessel fixed on for the tour to the East is the Isabella steam pleasure• yacht, under the neutral colours of Tuscany. The charge for each:pers on is to be 12,000 f. The trip is to last three months, and only ten passen gers are to b e t a ken. General Niel, whose arrival at the camp of Sebastopol on the 27th has been already announced, has written to the Emperor Napoleon an account of his inspection of the lints, and of the state of the army. These letters, which are of a private character, but will, no doubt, be followed by an official report, state that the situation, on the whole, was good ; the state of the works favourable ; the French army as well as could be expected under the circumstances ; and—but we fear this is rather the po liteness of the Frenchman—the English army not quite so badly off as he had expected from proviow accounts, y zie&y‘(, THE FRENCH FIELD-HOSPITALS, AR AMBULANCES. (From the Lancet of February 10.) We offered in the Lancet of the 3d inst. a description of the military hospital of the French, and now proceed to say a few Words about their ambulances. - The word ambulance, or field or flying hospital, is very familiar to most of our readers ; but many are, perhaps, not aware of the actual manner in which these hospitals are organised and conducted. A few details may pro bably be welcome. Tile principle upon which the whole arrangement rests is, that the medical officer—viz., the scientific man, should not be harassed with anxiety about stores and packages, and that these matters should rest entirely with responsible agents, whose duty it is to attend to his directions, within the limits of thb regulations. Hence we have the following practical divisions : The medical officer at the bed-side is invested with the whole control and management of his patient. The phar inacien, upon the surgeon's prescriptions, prepares the medicines ; the clerk sees to the procuring and proper use of the required article. s of furniture, and to the carrying out of the diet-cards filled up by the medical officer ; the ward-attendautt ,kes the lin mediate charge of the wounded man ; the sisters of charity and chaplains aid in the work of benevolence d kindness ; the assistant-com- missariat officer, who receiv,)s orders from his superior, watclies over the management of the whole ; and the regular w orkins , of all these secures a pErftct unity action. Ti,e ambulances, temporary hospital, and convales cent depots, ar.) intended, during a campaign, for the reception of the Wounded or sick soldier. If the seat of war is too distant from the frontier of France, where hospitals are organised for the reception of the sick or convalescent, an eligible locality is chosen for the erec tion of - a temporary hospital : hence the great central nosocornial establishment of Constantinople. Now, these various modes of relief for the soldier—viz., the ambulance, the temporary hospital, the convalescent de pot, and the permanent hospital, have each a peculiar organisation. _ The ambulance is the moveable hospital wkioh follow the army in all its movements. They are ambu lances for infantry, and others for cavalry—all connec ted with the different divisions. At head-quarters there is, besides, a reserve of surgeons and two ambulances of infantry and one of cavalry, always ready to go forward at a moment's notice. It was important, in order to in sure lightness and rapid movements from one place to another, to arrange the packages so that they might not prove cumbrous under any circumstances. Everything must, therefore, be reduced to the least volume, and all the requisites for dressing wounds are disposed in pan niers, the weight of which is so calculated as to suit the strength of a pack-horse, in case the usual waggon breaks down, or cannot be got through a difficult country. Only Ave carriage boxes are allowed for the reception of the following articles : amputation and trephining cases, tent!, litters, s pli nts, so lidi f i e d b rot h , b ran d y , linen and lint, medicine s , & c . Th ese f i ve b oxes or cases constitute an infantry ambulance, and provide 8,900 dressings. Three cases, with 4,900 dressings, form a cavalry ambulance. These ambulances are subdivided into active and reserve sections. The reserve section, which comprises two cases for the infantry, aid 3,500 dressings ; and one case, with 1,500 dressings for the cavalry, remains generally with the waggons attached to the corps, and is kept ready to supply the active sec tion with any articl6 which may be wanted. The latter is again subdivided in ambulance depot, and flying am bulance. The depot ambulance settles down at a convenient dis tance from the battle-field, and the atteislaats immne. diately take down the cases from the waggons, prepare the linen, lint, dressings, &e. They light a fire, and immediately make, with their solidified broth, a good saucepanful of soup. This is called the "precaution soup," and thus they have at once what we should call baef-tea for the wounded. Everything being thus pre pared, a red flag is unfurled, to apprise the wounded men where they can get relief. The flying ambulance goes, in the meanwhile, to the immediate rear, within the enemy's range, to attend to the men who receive dangerous wounds. At the same time, clerks, under the command of commissariat officers, proceed along the lines, and cause the wounded to be taken up by the at tendant; and the drivers. This latter arrangement is especially intended to prevent the soldiers from yielding to compassion, and succouring their fallen comrades, no man being allowed to leave the ranks, however desirous of aiding the wounded. The ambulances just described are called the Euro pean ambulances, but there is another kind, called Afri can ambulances, which latter have been instituted to serve in countries devoid of roads and destitute of accommo- dation. An ambulance of this kind, calculated foracorps of 10,000 men, contains 6,500 dressings, and requires 364 pack mules. Twenty-four of these carry iron litters, on which soldiers who have had a limb amputated, may be placed, and 250 carry little arm-chairs made of iron and leather, which may be unfolded, slung, and fastened to the pack-saddle, and will take a patient on each side of the mule. The rest of the mules carry the casks of diet drinks, the stretchers, the blankets, the leather covers for the sick, the tents, the surgical boxes, the cases containing the drugs, &c. Sixteen medical officers, 7 clerks, and 101 attendants on the sick or wounded attached to this ambulance, which is mainly intended by its fleetness for vanguard service, and for picking up the wounded en the field of bmtle. Both the European and African ambu lances are being used in the Crimea with the best effects. One hundred liat.t cacti have lately been sent to the seat of war by order of the Mirrster. Three wounded wen can be acc 'nano:Med on the front seat ; there is a case propeiV secured, which is So made as to contain two stretchers ; and boxes, surrounded by wire-work, are int..nded for the guns and sacs of the soldiers. Theso carts, though light, are very strong, and may, if neces sary, be drawn by one horse only. Such are the characters of the ambulances, the pecu liarity of winch is, to move rapidly from place to place, and to be ready for a , l the emergencies of war. Thus, be fore Sebastopol, the ambulance placed in the trenches re ceives the wounded immediately they are struck, and these are sent, after rho first dressings aro applied, to the am bulances pla , :ed behind the lines. Hitherto all the sick wounded were attended to in the latter ambulance until they could be removed to Constantinople ; but General Can robert has just established a tem porary hospital on the beach of the bay of Kamiesch, which hospital accommodates 500 patients. This is a great boon fur the sick, a great proportion of whom will be saved the tedious and perilous passage to Constan tinent)hpiosrary,inclement itsi Constan tinople it se s s e t a a s b o l n i s . h A e d lt a h c o c u o g r h d t u la g i this ohospite alre gulations of the permanent institutions of the same kind. Hence the medical staff for the 500 patients is composed as follows :—Two chief medical officers, three principal ones, and twelve assistants ; one chief pharmacien and two principal ones. The food is the sante as in the hos pitals at home, but the men are not given hospital shirts, trousers, or great coats. The bed furniture is not so complete as in the permanent hospitals, but each man has a palliasse and a blanket ; and, for every twentieth man, there is one mattress, three sheets, caps for the fever patients, various vessels, &c. The whole of the articles fur such a temporary hospital weighs 30,0001b5., and requires E 5 cubic yards of stowage ; the pharma ceutical portion weighs 3,600 lbs., and requires 9 cubic yards' stowage. A convalescent depot has also been established, where soldier!, are under the same discipline as with their regi meats ; but they receive double rations of wine daily, and are exempt from duty until they have completely recovered. The permanent hospitals are, of course, not restricted as the one just described, hence the hospitals of Con- stantinople are under the same regulations, and in pos session of the same articles, as those of France. Tea thousand either wounded or sick soldiers receive at this moment, though 800 leagues from their country, the same attention as they would have at the Yal de Grace or Gros Caillou in Paris. THE ACCIDENT TO THE SCREW STEAM- SHIP PERSEVERANCE. WooLwicH, Feb. 14.—The Perseverance, screw steam-ship, which capsized in Woolwich dockyard, still remains in the same position, the attempts by the Government officers to raise her by chains, .&c., having failed. She lies in the new stone graving-dock in the eastern part of the yard. In getting her into the dock, the ship being upwards of 300 feet long, it was necessary to raise her up on extra blocks, so as to bring her head close up to the edge of the dock, to admit of the cassosn being fixed at the en trance. When the water was let in, and the vessel turned over, she slipp e d some 15 or 16 feet from her original position, so that her stern extended out, as it were, from the entrance, thus preventing the cnssoons being refixed. It is already known that the ship filled with the tide. Examination since of her port side, which lay on the blocks at the bottom of the dock, shows that she has started one or more of her plates, no doubt caused by the force with which she termed over on them. A. cofferdam has been built at the entrance to the dock to prevent the tide flowing in ; this has enabled work mon temporarily to repair the started plates on her port side ; her hatches, cabins, &c., have boon tightly bat tened down with planking, and attempts will be made at the next spring tides to float her. It is thought that t h e weight of her engines, water tanks, and the 10 tons of ballast that were, and remain, in her, will cause the ship to righten without any additional aid, as the whole of her heavy yards, topmasts, and rigging have been re moved. There is one great difficulty, however, appa rent—the keel now rests on the "altars," or stone steps, at the west side, descending to the bottom of the dock ; and it is apprehended that, in floating her, she will do herself greater injury in her efforts to right herself, by striking on the "altars," or steps, unless some means are devised, as she feels her buoyancy, to haul her g me n rl into the body of the dock. We are given to 11adr ta d that the Government have now sold th e ship for 151. less per ton than what they gave for her. They have in the t t w wo o other., ntimed East India Docks, are o f the same descri p tion. T he h ships building a o n n d h c e r B l lines 0 a w t fi ß t l t a in ek g w h a u l t l ; an d Europa, screw-steamer, which toppled over in the East India fitting-basin a few weeks since, was built on the same lines as the Perseverance. TROOPS FOR TETE CantEA.---At Queenstown, on Wed nesday, the hired steam transport S evern emb a rked the following troops to join the reserve f orce i n course of orgauisatiou at Malta :---Ensign T. A. Cox and R. B. nyndman, 2 sergeants, and 50 rank and file of the 3d Buffs ; Ensign R. St. John, 2 sergeants, and 5 0 rank and file of the 72d Hi g hl a nders. 13 officers, and 33 men of the Royal Artillery had previously embarked on board this vessel at Southampton. With these the Severn steamed out of Queenstown harbour on the afternoon of Thursday, the 6th inst., for Malta.
