By F. B. COURTENAY, M.R.C.S.E., And f ormerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the Cure of Strictures of the Urethra. This work is the production of a surgeon whose special a'.. 4 ,entiott has been directed, through a long professional life, vt. , ) the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec.

LA'MERT on the Treatment and cure of NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, resulting from pernicious habits contracted in Youth, excesses in Man hood, or residence in Tropical Climates. With Cases and En gravin7s from Life, representing the various Organs in Health and Disease. The extensive circulation of this work may be attributed in great measure to the fact that the Author is the only duly qualified and legally registered Practitioner who for 20 years has made the Diseases arising usually from. Imprudence the peculiar objects of his attention. The im pediments which so often either prohibit wedlock, or embitter and render it a state of misery, by disappointing, its forOest hopes and marring its highest objects, are, though varied in form, closely analogous in reality. The mischief may arise in nocently, from deleterious influences devolved from the necessities of position—from circumstances which occurred years before the sufferers were born, from accident or the in fluence of tropical climates, but chiefly from Self-incurred Afflictions, dating back. in too numerous instances, to a period 'ong preceding that at which reason could be matured by ex re-iewce. A professional prejudice, which beiwily is now fast disap pearing,, though it still lingers ro little obA:nacy in some of the more antiquated medical schools, for a long time almost ignored the morbid affections comprised sinner the general designation " Nervous and Physical Debility," thbugh these affections are probably more destructive and widely pre valent than any others. The consequence of so important a department ot pathology being neglected is, that sufferers from the infirmities in question, virtually npelled from consultation with prac titioners of standing and character, are thus liable'to fall into the hands of unqualified Empirics, sometimes assuming titles of Physicians and Surgeons, whose names are not to be found in the Medical Register (whereby they incur serious legal penalties), whose ignorant meddling with the treatment. of these cases render these disorders a standing reproach to the medical profession. Those who may have a suspicion that any of the observations here made have peculiar applica tion to themselves, may consider that cases are indeed rare in which practised science cannot fully realise long-deferred hopes, remove all causes of mutual reproach, and replace cliro eic embitterment by permanent content. Dr. La'lllert. M.D., Honorary Member of the London Hos pita: Medical Society, Lc.. is the only legally qualified regis tered practitioner who, for 20 years, has devoted his attention to the treatment of these disorders. At home for consulta tation daily, from 10 till 2, and from 6 till 8. 87, BEDFORD_SQVARN, LONDON, THE NA V)`'. Yesterday the blocks were laid down on the third slip at Chatham Dockyard for the screw corvette Menai, 22 guns, which is to be built at that esta blishment. Her Majesty's paddle yacht Victoria and Albert will be taken into the steam basin in Portsmouth dockyard to-day to make good defects. The Bulldog, 6, paddle, Commander 11. F. Mail lop, will leave the steam basin at Portsmouth to-day and berth alongside her hulk in the harbour to complete for home service. The Philomel, 5, screw, three-masted schooner, Commander L. Wildman, fitting for service on the West Coast of Africa, is complete in her screw and will be very shortly ready for sea. The Rinaldo, 17, screw, is nearly complete in her rigging in the steam-basin, and in the stowing of her tanks and cables by the 'steam reserve at Ports mouth. The Sutlej, 51, screw .; will next be taken in hand. The Pelican, 17, screw, and the Volcano, 4, paddle, the latter fitted as a floating factory, are taking in their tanks and cables. The Cossack, 20, screw, Capt. R. Moorman, in Portsmouth harbour, has unbent sails and unrove all running gear. The return of this vessel to Eng land has arisen from the desertion of some of the crew of one of our men-of-war, in the ship's dingy, in the middle of the day, at. Prince Edward's Island, and their escape for the time, notwithstand ing a spirited pursuit. These men belonged to the Cossack, and Capt. Moorman afterwards sent on shore two men in private clothes, but armed, in search of the runaways, whom they succeeded in recapturing, and conveying back to their ship. On the Cossack's arrival at Halifax Captain Moorman applied for a court-martial on the men, who were transferred to the flagship for that pur pose. The Cossack was ordered away to Barbadoes and during her absence the men were tried on the charges preferred against them, which the Court found proved against them. One of the men, how ever, Who had been boatswain's yeoman in theship, made several statements on the trial affecting the captain's character as to his mode of maintaining the discipline of the ship. These were forwarded to Eng:and in due course, and on their receipt by the Admiralty, orders were despatched for the ship's immediate return to England, in order that the fac:s of the case might be fully investigated. We regret to state that during the recent experi ments at Spithead for testing a new description of carriage for rifled guns on boat service, Lieut. T. L. Ward, the senior Lieutenant of the Excellent, received a fracture of the thigh by the upsetting of the carriage from the recoil of the gun, Mr. Ward was removed to Hasler Hospital, and, in answer to inquiries made yesterday, is stated by his medical attendants to be now doing well. The paddlewheel steam tender Avon, T. Hamilton, Second Master, commanding, having embarked supernumeraries and stragglers left behind by the St. George, sailed from Plymouth on Wednesday afternoon for Portsmouth. It is reported at Plymouth, that the screw steam ship St. George, 90, Capt. the Hon. Francis Eger ton, after sailing next week from Portsmouth, will call at the fOrmer port to embark his Royal High ness Prince Alfred for the West India and North America stations. The crew of the Triton, about being paid off, will share a considerable amount of prize money, as she captured no less than six slave ships—one of which, sailing under American colours, had at least 600 slaves on board. The vessels have been adjudicated lawful prizes by a legally constituted Admiralty Court. It appears from statements made by the officers of the Triton that the slave trade is rather on the increase than other'sise on the coast of Africa, and a very large number of prizes have been cap tured by United States cruisers as well as by the British slave preventive scpadron. The Driver and Devastation, steam vessels, having undergone almost entire reconstruction in dry dock during the past eight molths, are now under the hands of the riggers, to be completed for the steam reserve. Several of the screw gtnvessels built by private firma for the Government have been completed at Woolwich, and four of this class of vessels are in a forward state. The Britomart and Wizard, built at Newcastle, have been forwarded to Sheer ness, and the Cockatrice to Portsmouth, for the steam reserve. The Eclipse and Star, built at Millwall, are now under the hands of the ship wrights and carpenters for completion. Two new screw steamvessels, the Alligator, 22, and the Dartmouth, 3C, are to be laid down atWool wich. Arrangements are now being made for the launch of the Bristol, 51 ; and the Repulse, 91, is in a forward state. Vice-Admiral Sir Houston Stewart, K.C.8., Port Admiral at Plymouth, accompanied by Flag. Lieu tenant Miller, went yesterday (Thursday) in the gunboat Redwing, to the screw steam corvette Jason, 21, Captain E. Von Donop, in the Sound, and inspected that ship and her crew. We have been requested to publish the subjoined notification : " CHRIST'S HOSPITAL.

Preference will be given to thasons of such officers as have been killed by the publle enemy or in the service. Applications to be addressed to the Secretary of the Admiralty, Whitehall, S.W."

The interesting ceremony of decorating the non commissioned officers and men of the Royal Engi-, nccrs who served during the late campaign in India took place at the head-quarters of the Royal Engineer establishment,. Chatham, on Wednesday afternoon, at a full parade of the whole of the officers and men of the Royal and Indian Engi neers. Of the companies of Royal Engineers who served in India during the eventful period of 1857- 58 the 4th is the only one which has returned to head-quarters, the others having proceeded from India to China, the Mauritius, and other parts of the world. In addition to the non-commissioned officers and men of the 4th company, medals were also awarded to those of other companies several of whom are now at head-qua'-ters. The 4th com pany served likewise during the whole of the cam paign in the Crimea, and, on being drawn up to receive their well-earned Indian medals, most of the non-commissioned officers and men displayed fort he Alma, Crimeanß almakediaavl,a,seivoekrearlinhaanvnin,gacnldaspssobaatsttaocphoeld. The companies and detachments of Royal and Indian Engineers having been drawn up on the de - g o . Harness, o h o e s f s o , r e m . B o f . t Directorr eesi de of f o ft the e square,Roy Royal 1 parade-ground, Engineer establishment, advanced to the centre, attended by all the officers of the Staff at the head quarters. The non-commissioned officers and men to be decorated, about 96 in number, wore then paraded in front by Lieut.-Col. Collinson, when Col: Harness, addressing them, expressed the honour and pleasure he felt in being deputed to present the medals which had been awarded them for their ser vices in India. Distributed as the corps of Royal Engineers was all over the world, it was rarely the commanding officer had to perform the pleasing duty which now devolved upon him. The pleasure he experienced in distributing the medals on that occa sion was greatly enhanced by the circumstance that he had served with most of the men who now stood before him, and could therefore speak from his own knowledge of their bravery and devotion. Speaking to the remainder of the men who were drawn up before him, the gallant Colonel reminded them that it was a great honour to the recipient of suck a distinguishing mark of her Majesty's approbation as was now conferred on the non-commissioned officers and men selected to be decorated with the Indian medal. He would exhort them therefore to do everything in their power to maintain the high position the corps now held. Colonel Harness then distributed the medals to each of the recipients, many of those decorated having three or four on their breasts already, including the Caffre, Baltic, and Crimean medals. One of the recipients, Ser geant Lendrim, in addition to wearing three medals, is also decorated with the Victoria Cross, which was awarded him for conduct of unexampled gal lantry and heroism, and on being presented with the Indian medal, was particularly complimented by Colonel Harness. After the whole of the medals had been distributed, the companies marched past, and the interesting proceedings terminated. Lieut. Col. S. D. Broughton, Ist brigade Garri son Artillery at Woolwich, some time under arrest, was yesterday granted three months' leave of absence, on the expiration of which period, he will be permitted to retire from the service on half-pay. The state of the river off Woolwich dockyatd and Arsenal was yesterday extremely embarrassing to the shipping. The Admiralty yacht Black Eagle remains at the floating coal depot, unable to be sup plied, in consequence of the difficulty of obtaining a passage for the labourers from the ship to the shore. The communication from the flagship is only kept up at the ebb and flow of the tide, when the flakes of rough ice separate, so as to admit a passage of the boat, which is guided by means of boat hooks and a strong hawser run out from the ship to the landing steps. The master of a collier vessel, lying in the bight below the Arsenal, yes terday put off a boat's crew to purchase provisions in the town. They left their vessel at 11 a.m., and did not make the pier till half-past 3 p.m., when, by the assistance of rope and planks supplied by Mr. Pellet, of her Majesty's War Department steamer Balaklava, they' were enabled to effect a landing. THE VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT. A meeting was held on Wednesday evening, in the great hall of Christ's Hospital, to take into consideration the measures to be adopted for the extension of the Volunteer movement in connexion with Christ's Hospital Rifle Volunteers. Major *General Wh;te took the chair, and said the object of the meeting was to induce members to enrol themselves. The corps had received great support from the Duke of Cambridge and the governors of the school, and the facilities afforded were very great. They had the use of the butts at Beaufort house, and also those at Caterham. He hoped nothing would prevent many of them joining without distinction of ages, ranks, or titles. ,He. called on Mr. Foster White, treasurer of St. Bar tholomew Hospital, who, in moving the first reso lution, said that as boys they had stood shoulder to shoulder in the school, and it would be a most gratifying thing to see them so stand in the ranks in defence of their country. Mr. W. GILPIN, treasurer of Christ's Hospital, briefly seconded, and expressed bps gratification at seeing the Old Blues meeting together for such a purpose as had drawn them together. The resolution was then put and carried unani- mously:— " That this meeting fully recognizing the expediency of the Volunteer movement, most cordially approves and sup ports the Christ's Hospital Rifle Volunteers." Mr. HIGHTON moved and the Rev. Mr. GURNEY seconded the next resolution as follows, which was cordially approved : • " That this meeting urges all gentlemen who have been connected with the foundation of Christ's Hospital, to enrol themselves at once as members of the Volunteer Corps." Mr. R. GRIGGS, Warden of Christ's Hospital, moved, and the Rev. Mr. HUDSON, of St. Paul's seconded the next resolution, as follows : " That only gentlemen educated at and connected with the City Foundation Schools—viz., Charterhouse, Mer chant Taylors, St. Paul's, City of London, and Mercers' Schools be eligible, and are invited to join the movement already originated by Christ's Hospital." The resolution was unanimously adopted. • Mr. C. J. SMITH, Secretary of the Corps read the following letter, which was received with loud cheering : "Horse Guards. " Sir,—l am desired by the Duke of Cambridge to acknowledge the receipt of your letter, and request that you will have the goodness to inform the council end committee that his Royal Highness regrets very much that, owing to a very great press of business, it will not be in his power to preside at the meeting of the governors of Christ's Ilos pital, for the purpose of enrolling members of the Volun teer Corps. " I have, &c. "J. MACDONALD." Captain CARTWRIGIIT, of the Christ's Hospital Volunteers, said that he desired to direct attention to the position in which his corps at present was placed. They had been accepted by Lord Ranelagh as a division of the South Middlesex Corps, and bis (Captain Cartwright's) object in rising was to suggest that the other public schools should form themselves into similar corps, when he knew they wouldlbe gladly accepted by the South Middlesex as a divisional corps, and go on until they were strong enough to form a brigade of their own. He hoped they would soon be strong enough to form a brigade of their own, and he might say that the expense of the uniform was £5 3s. 6d., which included all costs and charges ; it was the contract price, and was exceedingly serviceable, warm, and comfortable. A vote of thanks to Captain Cartwright for the able manner in which he had by his exertions raised the Christ's Hospital Corps to its high state of discipline and efficiency was prosed by Mr. Gil pin and seconded by Dr. Wilkinson. The name of Mr. Smith, as secretary, was associated with the vote, which was most warmly received. The proceedings terminated in the usual way and numerous members enrolled themselves. The annual general meeting of the 29th (North Middlesex Rifles) was held on Wednesday evening at the St. Pancras vestry-hall, for the purpose of receiving the report and balance-sheet for the past year, considering certain proposed alterations,in the rules, and to elect members of the council for the ensuing year; Lieut.-Col. Viscount Enfield, M.P., in the chair. The CHAIRMAN, having congratulated the V o l un . teers upon their efficiency and military appearance, called upon Mr. GREEN (the Secretary) to read the report, which stated that the number of effective members was above 600, and that the financial position of the corps Was satisfactory, considerable balance being left in hand after the payment of the expenses. On the motion of Captain Ross, seconded by Captain Cameron, the report was adopted. After some discussion, a resolution to the fol lowing effect was carried : " The annual subscription for enrolled members shall be £1 6s. (including ss. for the band fund), payable in advance, either yearly, half-yearly, or quarterly, at the option of each member. For new members enrolled after the 31st of March, the 30th of June, or the 30th of September the subscriptions for the current year shall be 19s. 6d., 135., and 6s. 6d. respectively. Honorary members shall subscribe not less than £1 ls. payable in advance, or in lieu thereof make one payment of not less than £5 ss. The expenses of the ammunition furnished by her Majesty's Government, as specified in paragraph 21 of the War-office memorandum of July, 1359, shall be defrayed equally out of the funds of the corps and by the members using the same for the pur. poses of practice; but no member shall be entitled to more than his fair proportion at the Government price." Several other alterations and additions to the rules were also agreed to. Captain Ross said he wished to draw attention to a paragraph that had appeared in the papers stating that the Metropolitan Rifles, 700 strong, were about to join the 29th. Lord ENFIELD said a correspondence had been going on between him and Lord Elcho on the sub ject. The Lord-Lieutenant of the county of Mid dlesex did not give him the•tlightest 410 'of .the Metropolitan Rifles joining the 29th. A cordial vote of thanks to the chairman closed the prccredings. On Monday last about 74 members of the Queen's Westminster Rifle Volunteers (St. John's Division) and their friends dined together at the King's Arms, Bridge-street, Westminster, Mr. J. C. Wood in the cheir. In the course of the evening the chairman presented the prizes to the successful competitors at the company's recent shooting match at Wimbledon: —First prize to Ensign Thorns, who ma de 24 points —seven at 200 yards, seven at 300, seven at 400, and three at 500; the second to Private Draper, who made 22 points —seven at 200 yards, eight at 300, five at 400, and two at 500; the tbird to Ser geant Montague, who made 22 roints—six at 200 yards, six at 300, seven at 400, and three at 500; the fourth to Private Moone, who made 19 points— six at 200 yards, three at 300, five at 400, and five at 500; the fifth toPrivate William Redgrave, who made 19 points—nine at 200 yards, six at 300, and four at 400 ; and the sixth to Private Higgs, who made 18 points—five at 200 yards, four at 300, four at 400, and five at 500. Private Edward Draper was the winner of the tie with Sergeant Robert Montague, and Private Moone of that with Private Redgrave ; in the prize for hits irrespective of points Captain Wood tied with Private Higgs, but in shooting off the tie Private Higgs became the winner. The shcoting was very good on the part of all the members. The general annual meeting of the members of the Leeds Volunteer Rifle Corps was held on Monday evening, when a committee was appointed to aid the commanding officer in the management of the finances for the ensuing year, and other business was transacted. Lieut.-Col. Markham presided, and, while complimenting the members on the posi tion which they had attained, he expressed his determination to do everything in his power to in crease their efficiency and make the corps the smartest in the country. It was stated that several alterations in respect to the uniform, and other matters, would be carri^d out as speedily a s possible. One great object contemplated is to make all the tunics of the regulation length, and to abolish the plume worn in the shako (which gives an unsteady appearance in marching) and substitute a tuft in its stead. It is also proposed to have, in addition to the regimental band, a corps of buglers, to be formed of Volunteers. A circular was read from the War-office, to the effect that crossed muskets worked in gold, being a special badge in cennexion with the regular army, should not be worn by Volunteers as a mark of skill in rifle shooting, and explaining that the proper badge was a horizontal rifle worked in silver, surmounted by from one to three stars, according to the wearer's proficiency as a shot, Before the members of the corps separated they gave several cheers for their gallant Lieut.- Colonel. Lady Rolle presented the 24th Dew, a Rifle COIT3, which she has been mainly instruments l. forming, with a silver bugle last Thursday, in Bicton-park, where her ladyship has had laid out a splendid drillground for the corps. After the ( oremony Lord Churston addressed the corps, and highly praised the soldierlike besting of the men. The Earl of Hardwicke has presented .£lO to the funds of the Ely Corps, of which he is a life mem ber ; and it is expected that Major Fryer, com mandant of the Isle of Ely administrative battalion, will review the corps on Saturday. Capt. Graham's company of the First Kentish Rifle Volunteers yesterday mustered at their rendezvous at Old Charlton and marched into Woolwich, preceded by their band. Arrived at the Town-hall they formed in line and the band struck up " The Roast Beef of Old England." The company afterwards faced about and entered the ball, where dining-covers had been laid for their reception. A couple of tables, running longitudi. rally down the hall, contained 90 covers, at which the company took their places according to numbers. These tables were headed by a third, in the shape of a crescent, for the accommodation of the officers and their friends, 40 in number ; the whole amount ing to 130. Captain Graham occupied the chair in the centre of the head table, and was supported on either side by Mr. W. Angerstein, M.P. for Green wich and Deputy-Lieutenant of the county; and Colonel Thorold, commandant of the battalion and Brigadier of the Rifle Corps. There were also present, the Rev. H. Brown, M.A., Rector of Wool wich, andthe Rev. Carter Smith, hon. chaplain to the company ; Colonel Congden, late R.M., major; Lieutenant-Colonel Ellis, Royal Arsenal Artillery ; Lieutenant-Colonel Parkyn, Royal Arsenal Rifles; Captain Jacson and Captain Arbuckle, adjutants ; Major Thornton, commanding the Dockyard Artil lery; Major 1%1.1101, Blackheath Artillery; Major Sutherland, R.A., barrack-master; Captain Carter, 4th Kentish Rifles, and other officials connected with the Government establishments of the town. After dinner the usual loyal and patriotic toasts were given and responded to, when the company separated, the officers and their friends retiring to the residence of Capt. Graham, where Mrs. Graham presented a valuable or'molu clock, to be fired for by the company, and Lieutenant Sharpe Fresented a Westley Richards rifle for the same purpose. The company are indefatigable in their regular course of drill, fencing, and other practice, at which they assemble twice a-week, in a covered building placed at their disposal by Mr. Angerstein, in h is park at Woodlands. On Monday last the long pending rifle cont es t between eight gentlemen picked from Nos. 1 and 3 Companies at Ryde and eight from No. 2 (N ewport ) Company came off at the ran g e of the former, situate at Binstead, near Ryde. The distance was from 150 to 301 yards, and aAer some good shoot ing, the match was won by the Newport men beat ing their opponents by 14 points. The recent contract between the Banks of France and England is now completed, the whole £2,000,0.'0 Pf silver having been received and paid for. Of this amount of silver nearly half a million has since been sold by our bank. There aro no further arrangements pending between the two establishments. LADVERTISEMENT.I—TIOBOWay'S Pills and Ointment.— Assurance against Diseaee.—Who would barter health for wealth ?

Bates, who ccmmitted self destruction by hanging, John Watson. who was brought to the workhouse on a stretcher in a dying condition, and that of John Clerk, who died in the workhouse in an epileptic fit, was complete and closed as far as they went. He would therefore proceed to call witnesses in the case of David Poole, a child who it was alleged had been refused admission into the workhouse. Margaret Poole said the child was the illegiti mate son of her sister, who was a domestic servant employed in the City. The child had been sent to the grandmother, woo would not take the child in, and it was taken to the workhouse, where she saw Mr. Cole the relieving officer, who gave some relief and said that he would make some inquiry into the case. Mr. Cole said that he had made the usaal investi gation into the case. He inquired about the settle ment of the child, and the grandmother was very angry at the child being brought to her house. He then told her that any expense she was at would be refunded to her, but that did not satisfy her. He 1 ‘ngs of the family, but could not get I. `ory answer. Th !I the testimony in retinue° to the child. The r then called Mr. Painter, the master of the sein reference to the case of - Sarah Leamington, on e o f t h e f ema l e pau pers, by whom he wes summoned and charged with an assault t uf magistrate, at Worship-street, Police court,e e the or a few weeks since.

Mr. Fax nall said that as far as that case went it was closed, and in his opinion very properly. The case of the female Fossey, at present a pauper inmate, and who said she had been refused admis sion into the workhouse, by Mr. Cole, the relieving officer, who gave her one pound of bread and said he could not do any more for her, was the last in quir- d into, - Mr. Cole, the relieving officer, was called and examined by Mr. Farnall and the guardians, when. he denied her statement. Mr. Hodges, one of the Board of Guardians, said that when they found that Dr. Clark, the medical officer, was going about the interior of the house making inqp ies that were not connected with his duties, it was improper. Mr. Fantail said it was certainly not right. If there was a collusion between the medical officer, summoning officer, and the coroner, it would be another matter ; and it seemed it was to the con trary. The medical officer (Dr. Clark) had not worked well with the guardians, but that was no fault on his part. Mr. Farnall then read over the copy of deposi tions of Dr. Clark, taken by the coroner, in refe rence to the case of Thomas Bates, from which het thought it was clear that Dr. Clark did not know of the case until he was called from his residence by the request of the coroner, who was then pre siding over the adjourned inquiry, at Mr. Gill's, the Black Horse Tavern. There were difficulties in the management of the parish affairs between the late board and the present guardians ; but after all, it was some old ill-feeling which caused the hostility. Mr. Hodges then addressed Mr. Farnall, and said that he wished him to convey to the Poor-law Com missioners the sentiments of the guardians. Mr. Farnall said he would certainly do so. Mr. Hodges said—Of course in the inquest on the body of Thomas Bates the verdict went against the guardians, but they had nothing to do with it, and the character of the guardians ought not to be. impugned. Mr. Farnall—l shall put before the Poor-law Commis , iouers every fact and point of the evidence, whieh I always do, and I shall do so in the present. in qu y. Mr. Farnall said it was an important fact that norm.ithstanding the inclemency of the weather the increase of pauperism was not so great as might be expected. The proceedings then closed, to await the result of the Poor-law Commissioners' report to the guar dians, which will most probably be made known at their weekly meeting on Wednesday week. TEE WEATIIF,R AND TILE PARIS. The various Royal Parks, which were a year or two since the amass e' political discrcsions on Svndlys, have for do ent, and will no doubt continue during the prevalence of tv l e frost to be the resort of the erkrocracy and other members of various grades in society. Judging f-om the ap pearance of the different pe-l - s yesterday, and the scenes on the Serpentine Jest night, skating by the fair sex and others does not appear to have lost any of its attractions. The various parks were crowded by thousands of persons during the day, not only by those who disported themselves upon the frozen waters, but also by many thousand persons who* lined the footpaths along the different parks for the purpose of witnessing the extraordinary exer. cises of the skaters and sliders. During the early part of yesterday 6,000 per- GDS amused themselves upon the ice on the Ser pentine, but that number was nothing to be com pared to the muster of last night. During the daylight performance skating matches on a very extensive scale were carried out, and such as would even astonish our Dutch friends, who have hitherto been considered the greatest and most expert skaters in the world. The great affair, however, came off on the Serpen tine last night, and towards tea o'clock the scene that took clace was such as has not been sur passed, except on Monday night. About 15,000 persons ventured on the ice. Some few hundred tents and marquees were erected, the canvas stretch ing in some dlrections many yards in length. These were filled with all sorts of provisions for the use of the ladies and gentlemen skating. Continuous shovi Ers of fireworks were kept up, and the skaters of bDth sexes carried on what might be termed a very dangerous match, by skating with torches, and in imitating a sham fight, using lighted links instead of swords. This had a novel and grand effect, but unfortunately was attended with serious though not fatal consequences to more than one per son. At the same time skittles and thimblerig ging were going on on the ice to as great an extent as was ever witnessed at any of the great race grounds out of the metropolis. The police, how ever, went into the tents and seized the gambling apparatus, thereby putting a stop to the robberies that were being perpetrated upon the unwary who had attended purposely to witness the spots upon the ice. At eleven o'clock last night several thousa n d per sons were still pursuing the exhilirating b u t st ill dangerous exercise of taidling and skating, and the torch- light procession, sti l l carried on, had a most novel a 5 occurred on Similar sou , the waters in the other parks. ppi3rance.
