ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRMEA; with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondrlasis. Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. " Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not, be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing. with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrlima and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. " We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; hut the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter." — Dublin Medical Press.

IMPORTANT TO OWNERS OF HORSES.- After long experience, deep researches into chymistry, by the aid of costly machinery, I have discovered the means whereby oats, beans, and oilcake may be entirely dispensed with in the feeding of horses and cattle. I have now invented a compound meal, composed of locust beans, Indian corn, linseed, &c., at £l6 per ton, which is equal in value to £24 worth of oats, beans, or any other feeding material in the market. Two quarts of this compound meal, weighing 31bs., at the cost of 5d., mixed with a peck of chopped hay, is a feed for a draught horse, and superior in every respect to three quarterns of oats, costing 711 14 barrels weigh net 1 ton 1 cwt., at 16s. per cwt., £l6 13s. net cash, free, delivered by my own waggons to any station in London.

STAMPED, SD, THE WEST INDIA, PACIFIC, AND MEXICAN MAILS. + The Royal Mail Company's screw steamship Tas manian, Captain C. G. Weller, arrived at South ampton yesterday, at 10.30 a.m., with the mails, in charge of Lieutenant Slaughter, R.N., naval mail agent. a n T d h u e n i n m e p w u s r t by utlt t his From sl r uin e arae Jamaica a i i s e a generally r d a a l scantyar are t 0 the 9th inst. The table of the public revenue for the quarter ending 31st March had been published. The gross amount was £60,000, being less by £3,000 than the December quarter, but £l,OOO in crease on the corresponding quarter last year. " Though no serious difference is observed in the import duties (says the Colonial Standard) yet it may be readily anticipated, from the civil war in the United States, and the great dependence our people place upon breadstuffs and many articles of food, that there will be in the next quarter a mate rial reduction, which will be felt to an alarming extent in this island as well as in the IVest India colonies generally." The island was in a very dull and gloomy state in consequence of the bad news from America and its probable effect upon trade generally. Business in all departments was very flat, and money and.bill-discounting in abeyanCe. Several shocks of earthquake had been felt in the island. The first, which was rather severe, occurred on the 27th ult. at about a quarter to 3 o'clock p.m., the undulatory motion being from north to south or south to north. Two shocks had been felt at Mon tego Bay and throughout the county of Cornwall, the first being one of the most violent that the island has experienced for years past. It occurred simultaneously with the one noticed in Kingston, amid consternation in the town, the inhabitants run ning out of their houses, and with blanched cheeks portraying the universal terror that was felt. The church clock was stopped, its heavy pendulum vibrating contrary to the current of the shock. A house in Church-street had one of its corners rent, and at Content store, in Hanover, the piazza was completely severed from the main building. In the harbour the shock was so violent that the captain of a vessel was thrown off his legs, and in some districts along the seaside it caused deadly sickness even with persons accustomed to sea voyages. A second shock occurred, but by no means so severe as the first, about four o'clock on the morning of the 28th. Captain J. G. Maycock, of her Majesty's 14th Regiment, had been appointed Adjutant- General of the island and Military Secretary to his Excellency the Governor. The Hon. J. S. Williams, acting Attorney-General, had received from the Lords of the Admiralty the post of Advocate-Gene ral. The foundation-stone of the new steam (aerated) bread mills was laid on the 2d inst., in Park-street, West. The establishment is expected to be in full operation by the end of August. The weather had been very sultry. The public health was good. At Trinidad trade in general was exceedingly dull for the season, and the metallic currency was never so low in circulation ; in fact, no one seemed to have ready cash. The stoppage of a large mercantile firm had thrown a gloom over the trading com munity, and prospects were far from cheerful. The planters had been getting on briskly with sugar making, as the weather had become more settled and favourable. The scarcity of tonnage and advance in freights had checked speculation, so that little had been done in produce since last mail. Advices from Barbadoes are to the 10th inst. The Militia Act would probably be withdrawn at the next sitting of the House of Assembly, it having met with so much public censure. An Act for con stituting a corporate body in the city of Bridge town had been read a first time in the house, and ordered to be printed. The Water Company had laid down pipes in every part of the city and suburbs, and were erecting the public pumps, &c. The island was perfectly healthy. The Hon. William Walker had arrived at Deme rara, to assume the administration of Government as Lieutenant- Governor, on the departure of Gover nor Wodehouse ' who came home to England by the present mail. His Excellency received addresses from the bishop and clergy of the diocese of Guiana, the Mayor and Town Council and other public bodies, before his departure. The Court of Policy , had a sitting on the 3d inst., but transacted no busi ness of importance, and adjourned sine die. Three arrivals of immigrants had occurred during the fortnight—viz , the Collingwood, from Calcutta and St. Helena, with 296; the Saldanha, from Hong Kong, with 496 ; and the Jessie Munn, from Cal cutta, with 295. The rainy season had set in. Arrivals from the South Pacific bring intelligence from Valparaiso to the 17th of April, and from Callao to the 29th. Commercial matters in Chili were by no means improving. More failures to a considerable extent arc re ported, and some of the wealthiest residents in the country had succumbed, while but little hope was enterinined of the news being more encouraging for some time to come. The republic of I'cru remains in the same un settled state as at last advices. The Panama Star and Herald of the Bth inst. says that the last accounts respect ing the earthquake at Mendoza are worse than those pre viously received, as it has been ascertained that upwards of 11,000 people perished in this dreadful catastrophe. The details of the sufferings of the survivors are very sad, but throughout Chili everything was being done to relieve the distress. WRECKS AND CASUALTIES IN 1860. The annual return just presented to Parliament of the wrecks and casualties on or near the coast of the United Kingdom from the Ist of January to the 31st of December, 1860, shows a number of wrecks and casualties from causes other than col lision greater than that of either of the preceding 8 years. The number is 186 above the annual average for 6 years, or 1,081 against 1,067, in 1859. Although the Dumber of wrecks and strandings has been greater than usual, the loss of life has been less ; the number of lives lost in 1860 being under one-third of the number lost in 1859, and 264 under the annual average for nine years. The nutubc.r3 for 1859 and 1860 are 1,015 and 536. The great loss of life during 1859 was mainly attribu table to the loss of two or t hree fine passenger ships, and the decrease in the number of lives lost in 1860 is owing to the absence of th.e loss of any large ships under similar circumstances. In 1859, 870 lives were lost in two casualties alone, viz., the wrecks of the Pomona and the Royal Charter, whilst in 1860 the greatest number of lives lost in any one casualty was 37, and the next greatest number 31. On reference to the table, distinguish ing the cargo of the ships, it is seen that the number of casualties to ships of the collier class. i.e. ships carrying coals, coke, ores, and stone in bulk) is below the number for the last year, al though, as is usual, it exceeds the number of casualties to all other descriptions of ships put to gether. The classes of ships to which casualties most frequently happen on our coasts are those between 50 and 300 tons burthen, employed' in carrying coal, coke, ores and stone. The expe rience of the past eleven years shows that the most serious wrecks, resulting in the greatest loss of life, do not happen, as was supposed, on the North east coast, but in those seas and channels mostly frequented by large foreign-going ships. The total number of lives lost from shipwreck during 11 years has been 6,883. The greater portion of casualties happen with the force of the wind at and under 8 (fresh gale) or under circumstances in which a ship if seaworthy and properly manned and found, ought to be well able to keep the sea. At the end of 1860 the number of lifeboats sta tioned on the coast was 173, against 158 in 1859 ; 91 are under the management of the National Life boat Institution, but are subsidised by the Board of Trade, and 5 are subsidised by the Board direct. Of the remainder, 19 are maintained by the institu tion and 58 by local bodies. During the last six years no less than 8,205 lives have been saved on the coast by assistance from the shore. The num ber last year thus saved was 1,383, there being 110 lifeboats and 233 sets of mortar and rocket _app o a n &c., at ratus.

No noxious substance enters into the composition of these pills ; hence everybody may take them with safety. They act mildly on the bowels, strengthen the stomach, and brace the nerve!. They induce a healthy action in the liver, and invigorate the whole system. In enfeebled, debilitated, , and hardly used constitutions, they at once effect a marvellous im provement, which day by day gains ground as the pills are taken, 'LOSION OF GUNPOWDER WORKS. About 7 o'clock on Monday morning a series frightful explosions took place at the Government Gunpowder Works near Waltham. In order to trace the origin of the disaster and show its effects it is necessary briefly to describe the construction and mode of working these mills. At the end of the buildings is the engine -house where a shaft, run ning under the entire length o f the mills is worked. This shaft, in turn, causes the " runners," or wheels, to revolve over the powder for the purpose ofcrush ing it. The " bed plates" upon which the powder is placed for grinding are, like the runners, made of iron. Those in the mills destroyed were formed of two slabs of iron, three inches thick, bolted toge• ther. The men had been at their work about an hour, when one of them, it is said, commenced the removal of the runner in the mill second from the engine-house, to enable him to sweep the powder from under it. Applying, it is alleged, a crowbar, or some implement of the same description in order to force the roller out of position, he saw the powder flash, and remembered nothing further until he found himself being extricated from a stream of water, intowhich he had thrown himself headfore most to extinguish his burning clothes. After the first explosion the limes seem to have penetrated into the three adjoining mills very rapidly indeed, for scarcely a moment elapsed between the subse quent explosions. The effect of each was most de structive. The iron roofs, sides, ke., were blown in all directions, and large pieces were found many yards off standing in the ground, into which they had been forced upon descending. A large number of the workpeople after the explo sion repaired to the spot and rendered valuable as sistance. One unfortunate man named James Wood ham, was found lying in the long grass in front of the mill, his clothes in one mass of flame. His ap parel was torn and cut from his body as rapidly as possible, but before this could be accomplished he was so frightfully burnt that his life is almost de spaired of. Last evening he was in a most pitiable condition. His face is so dreadfully burnt that not a single feature can be distinguished, and he isf the present, we regret to say, totally deprived sight. Three other poor fellows are also badly burnt. All the sufferers are married men. As soon as the ruins had cooled sufficiently to be inspected a careful investigation was made with a view of ascertaining the extent of destruction, and, if possible, the cause of the first explosion, and the mode by which the adjoining walls were blown up. The mills were not in work, and it was pre sumed there was not more than a few pounds of powder left in either of them, but the explosion proved the supposition to have been erroneous. The mills had been built with thick party walls of solid brick, which it was believed would have had the effect, in the event of an explosion taking place in one, of leaving all the others uninjured. The explosion has shown in this respect that the steps adopted were fallacious. Some persons, who assume to posaess a familiar acquaintance with the mode of manufacture at the Government Works, express a belief that the process of grinding had forced a considerable quantity of powder into the tanks below the tables, and that, as it was known several men were at work there with lights at the time of the accident, the explosion was occasioned thereby, and the flames rapidly extended along the shaft to the other mills. Others, and they are the more numerous, believe that the crowbar with which the runner was being removed, coming into contact with the iron plate, caused friction, which produced sparks and ignited the powder. As the loss of life might have been great, the matter is exciting considerable discussion. There were several very narrow escapes. Some half-dozen men or more were under the mills making some repairs to the shaft at the time of the explosion. The smoke made its way down the " manhole," and had not assistance arrived some of the engineers would have been suffocated. Two were in an insen sible state when they were dragged up by the hair and rapidly taken into the air to restore animation. While the interior repairs were pro ceeding it was decided to paint the iron roofs, and just before the explosion took place a body of painters arrived to commence this operation. They had procured a ladder to get upon the roofs, but it was found too short, and while another was being obtained the mills blew up. Had the explosion been delayed a few moments longer the men would have commenced their work, and would doubtless been blown to atoms, as scarcely a vestige of the roofs is left in either case. _ The Board of Ordnance will, we understand, make a searching inquiry into every circumstance connected with the explosion. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.) The total number of deaths registered in the week that ended last Saturday was 1,237, a mortality as high as that of the last week of March, when the air was many degrees colder than it has been lately. The average number of deaths derived from the re turns of corresponding weeks in the ten years 1851.- 60, and corrected for increase of population, is 1,157 ; hence it appears that the number of persons who died last week exceeds by 80 that which would have been returned if the average rate of mortality had ruled. The deaths from whooping-cough arc still nume rous : they were 97 in the week, while the cor rected average of corresponding weeks is only 56. Five occurred in the rectory sub-district of Maryle bone, 11 in Islington, 5 in the west sub-district of Mile-end Old Town. Scarlatina was 'fatal in 31 cases, diphtheria in 13. Sixteen women died after childbearing; 10 of which cases arc referred in the tables to metric or puerperal fever. A man died at the age of 96 years, a woman at the same age ; and the widow of an author died in Clifford's-inn from " degeneration of the mucous membrane of the stomach," whose age is recorded to have been 100 years 8 months. A woman died at the age of 66 years from marasmus caused by the use of opium, which she had taken for a period of 27 years. A child, aged 7 weeks, died of eczema of the whole body. Last week the births of 892 boys and 934 girls, in all 1826 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1851-60 the average was 1640. n e e w k i I w l, a t s he m 3of n o a o, in.

The Isthmian Games were most satisfactorily inaugu rated, and, despite the gloomy day on which they com menced, they are not likely to disappoint expectation. In deed, the townsfolk were never so full of hope of reaping a rich harvest from the heavy crop of visitors which has since Monday night sprung up in the town. They have made ample i rovision for the reception of all sorts and conditions of people, and those persons who may, like Mrs. Gilpin, " be on pleasure bent, but have a frugal mind," will be ac• commodated according to their means. For the racing wan the programme abounds in attractions, and although the Derby is regarded by the mere'pleasure-seeker as " the be all and end all" of the meeting, yet certain events, and especially the races for two-yr-olds, are likely to be long re. membered by a large majority of turfites. We have already briefly referred to the improvements effected on the course and in the Grand Stand, and we may now state that Mr. Dorling, with all his ingenuity and desire to meet the re quirements of his patrons, will be unable to extend them. The arrangements are now complete in every respect ; and those persons who possess " the means and appliances to boot," are enabled to see the races with as much comfort as if they were seated in the stalls of an opera house. To conduct the railway traffic, and to afford facilities for reaching the course, due preparations have been made. At the London-bridge station a large body of the M divi sion of police are on duty, and the staff of off:Ws at the Epsom station of the "Waterloo line" has been reinforced by some of the L division, under the command of Sergeant Rackstraw, and the London station of the same company was also kept by a number of men from the L division. Inspector Lovelace, with a well-disciplined troop of the V brigade, has the care of the town of Epsom, and the ap proaches to the Do '4 ns, whilst the course, as usual, is under the charge of the A division, who have had great experience in the management of vast crowds of race-going people. The officers in charge of the men were Superintendent Walker, Inspectars Butt, Bradatock, and Eccles. The racing was marked by the usual " first day's" charac teristics. It was merely a prelude to the grand doings of the Derby day. The Craven Stakes occasioned no " Blue Jacket sensation," as it did in 1856, when its result fur nished a new favourite, and seemed to show to demonstra- tion that Tournament could not lose the Derby. The t he did lose it, however, is a matter of turf history, The Craven Stakes of 10 sovs each, with 50 added ; for 3-yr olds, 7st 71b ; four, Bst 121 b ; five and upwards, 9st 41b ; mares allowed 51b, and geldings 31b.

He was left in the rear when the signal was given, Janus and Malta running in front, side by side, to Tattenham Corner, where the others began to ga on coed t rms with them. At tho distance they were beaten, and Cape Flyaway on the upper ground, and Can tine on the lower, finished the race together, running so wide that it was impossible for the spectators on the Stand to determine which had won; the judge, too, being unable to separate them, and pronouncing a dead heat. Four lengths off Virgilius was third, and close up with him were Malta and the Clarissa colt. Cosmopolite, Knight' of St. Patrick, Polonius, and Twilight were beaten off.

A letter from Malta, dated Valetta, May 24, says:-- " Intelligence was received by the last mail from Gibral tar of the assembling of a very large Spanish fleet at Algeciras, the ostensible object of which was to make a naval demonstration on the coast of Morocco, owing to the Emperor having failed to remit the instalment duo of the indemnity which he failed to pay to Spain for ending the late war. As a matter of precaution our naval authori ties have determined upon increasing the strength of our naval forces in those waters. Her Majesty's ship St. Jean d'Acre, Capt. the Hon. C. B.

Chamberlain, left port on the 22d inst., within a few hours of each other, for Gibraltar; and the Weser, 6, Commander Johnstone, left on the following day for Corfu, with instructions, it is said, to Rear-Admiral Dacres, to despatch a portion of his fleet to Malta for the same destination. _ • " M. Lesseps passed through Malta the day before yester day from Marseilles to Alexandria. This sanguine gentle man has, I understand, assured several persons here who are so fortunate as to hold shares in the Isthmus of Suez canal scheme, that the work will be in such progress by the end of a year as to permit small vessels to pass through it from one sea to the other.

Gingell and Co., shipped on board her Majesty's corvette Scourge the electric instruments and a large quantity of telegraph stores for Tripoli and Bengazi. The Malacca, it is hoped, will be ready by Monday or Tuesday next to commence paying out the cable to Tripoli. The point of departure is to be St. Goorge's Creek, in the bay of Marsassirocco, on the south east coast of this island, where a cable-house has been erected fer the junction of the submarine and land lines. The day befoul yesterday evening the Maltese schooner Valetta, having on board the shore cable and 15 telegraph operatives, left port for Tripoli, in tow of the tug Bulldog, which is to accompany her the whole way, and tow her when such assistance is necessary, in order that no time may be lost in laying the shore end to meet the Malacca with the deep sea line. "Her Majesty's ship Queen is daily expected from Bey rout. One of the French transports which are to convey the French troops from Syria passed to the eastward yester day. By the steamer arrived to-day from Beyrout, I learn that the French troops arc ready to embark." The Euryalus, 51, screw steam-frigate, under the charge of the officials of the steam reserve and dock yard, made her official trial at the measured mile to-day; she was under steam about five hours, and the result was satisfactory. Captain Broadhead, the newly-appointed captain of the steam reserve at this port, was prevented from witnessing the trial, being engaged on the court-martial at the Victory. The Punjaub, Captain Foulerton, H.M. Indian Navy, is still at Spithead. Orders were received to land any serious hospital cases, and she is expected to proceed to Woolwich the first favourable oppor tunity, unless sbe receives contrary orders and comes into Portsmouth. She is-a teak-built ship, and was fitted not as a paddle-wheel steamer, with engines of '7OO horse-power. However, her steam ing qualities were not so great as could be ex pected. They could not get up steam so as to get a greater speed than eight knots, whilst under her present light rig—only as an auxiliary to the steam—she would make, under canvas, 122 and 13 knots; and it is thought that by her conversion into a screw steam-corvette she will prove a valuable acquisition to her Majesty's navy. As a troop-ship, she can find accommodation for at least 1,000 men, besides women and children, and has commodious cabins and saloon for officers and ladies. She is well ventilated with patent bull's eye ports, and her space between decks is nearly seven feet under the beams. Her hospital (or sick bay) berths, as also a separate division from off the troop-deck for married people, are most judiciously arranged. The screw steam gunboat Magpie, tender to the screw steam coastguard ship Hawke, 60, Captain William Crispin from Queenstown, arrived at Ply mouth on Monday for stores and for men entered for the Hawke. The paddlewheel steam sloop Styx, 6, Com mander Cave, just returned from the West Indies, was inspected in Plymouth Sound by Captain Lettershavescrew m o beenr -e cane. She arrived at Trin rtetceeiCvehdaraytbdPilsY, Plymouth thfrom the Captain the Hon. Geo rge D . comalee on the 17th of April, when she received orders for China, she was to sail on the 25th for Singapore. The oflicers and crew expect that they will not be sent to Hong Kong, but be allowed to return to the India station. Her Majesty's screw steam storeshin Adventure, from the East Indies and China, which vessel arrived at Woolwich on Monday for repairs, was to have been docked yesterday for that purpose, but in consequence of her length of build exceeding by 11 feet the limits of the most roomy dock in that yard, an application was yesterday forwarded to the Board of Admiralty for permission to alter out the basin to the required length by removing stone steps at the east end, which are said to be totally useless. The Adventure's length of keel is 283 feet, and over all from figure head to taffrail, 323 feet, while that of the dock is only 272 feet from the steps to the caisson. The inconvenience now sought to be remedied has been the theme of comment for some time past. None of the docks at Woolwich in their present state are capable of receiving one of the ships under construction in the yard, and in default of the necessary arrange ments now proposed being admitted, they must be docked elsewhere. The iron screw steam shoreship, Industry, Master Commander I. Hodges, was yesterday paid off at Woolwich. Her commission is dated Janu ary, 1857, since which time she has been constantly employed in conveying naval stores to and from Rio and the Isle of Ascension, &c. After under going the necessary repairs she will be recom missioned by the same commander. Orders were yesterday received at Chatham for the iron steamer Resistance, 22, 800 horse-power, built by Messrs. Westwood, Bake, and Campbell, to be armed entirely with Armstrong guns of the 100 pounder and 40 pounder class, instead of only four of the 40 pounder Armstrongs, as was previ ously ordered. The Government has also forwarded directions to Chatham for the vessels attached to the first-class steam reserve in the Medwa— y to have a certain number of Armstrong guns placed on board each according to their ratings. The two steam floating batteries /Etna, 16, and Thunderbolt, 16, which are now stationed in the river below Graves end, for the protection of the Thames, are armed entirely with 68 pounders, but four of these will be removed from each of those vessels and Armstrong guns put on board instead, as soon as they can be supplied from the gun factories. The Diadem, 32, Captain Cockburn, went out of Portsmouth Harbour yesterday, and joined Rear- Admiral J. E. Erskine's division of the Channel fleet at Spithead. Rumour sends the Channel fleet to Gibraltar in readiness to act in concert with the Mediterranean fleet, under Admiral Martin's com mand, should events require their presence in the Mediterranean waters. The Royal Marines who serve& on board the Cressy, 80, line-of-battle screw steamer, were paid at Chatham yesterday, when each man was granted six weeks' leave of absence. The whole of the hired mechanics and labourers, numbering nearly 800 men, employed at Chatham Dockyard during the busy period which prevailed some time since, have now been discharged from that establishment, the last of the hired hands hav ing quitted the yard on Saturday last. A few of the hired smiths and labourers have been retained to be employed on the Achilles, 40. The Metropolitan police doing duty at Sheerness dockyard have undergone an inspection by the prin cipal Inspector of that establishment, in order to ascertain their proficiency in the use of the fire engines. For this purpose the men were told of into two companies and were directed to attach two lengths of hose to the dockyard fire-engine. This was accomplished in exactly one minute from the time that the order was given. Four lengths of hose was then ordered to be adjusted, and this was effected in one minute and a half, showing the great efficiency of the dockyard force. The time allowed in London for similar operations is two minutes and a half. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Lieut. John L. Way, to the Steady ; Lieut. Charles C. Fitzgerald, to the Ariadne ; W. B. M'Hardy, midshipman, to the Hero; W. Powell, first-class assist.-engineer, to the Cumberland, for serv" cc in the Julia; Henry Johnson, first-class assistant-engineer to the Asia, as supernumerary; Owen A. Davies, first - class assistant engineer to the Asia, for charge of the machinery of the Pan dora; Alexander Beattie, acting second-class assist.- engineer, to the Indus, as supernumerary ; William J. Grandy, second master, to the Dasher ; and J. H, Manley, assist.-paymaster, to the Edinburgh. THE ARMY. In consequence of the large number of officers of Engineers now at Chatham, the Secretary of State for War has approved the appointment of an in structor in the general principles of designing and making specifications, estimates, and working draw ings for various descriptions of buildings. The officer so appointed will be in addition to the other instruc tors already attached to the Royal Engineer esta blishment. At present there arc two instructors in surveying and topographical drawings, two field work instructors, and one instructor in architecture. The Commander-in-Chief has also given instructions for the most intelligent and beat educated of the non-commissioned officers of the Royal Engineers to be appointed field-work instructors: By direction of the Duke of Camtridge, several of the officers of Royal Engineers, including Capt. J. E. Comes, Capt. E. H. Steward, Lieutenant G. Harris, and Lieut. H. Robinson, have proceeded from Chatham to Shoeburyness for the purpose of witnessing some experiments which are being carried out at that station, in order to test the rela tive strength of wrought-iron plates, from one quarter of an inch is three inches in thickness, and their - capabilities to resist the effect of shot from the Armstrong and other guns. The plates to be ex perimented upon have been made from different descriptions of iron, in order that the Government may ascertain the best kinds for use in the manu facture of armour-plates for the exterior of the mail clad steamers. The experiments will extend over several days. Tho Leicestershire Regiment of Militia, 900 strong, assembled at Leicester on Thursday for a month's training under the command of Lieut.-Col. King. The regiment has done duty at Cork and at Aldcrshott. Trade having been bad during the winter a great number of recruits have joined, and many men whose time of service has expired have been re-attested. An inspection of the South Hants Yeomanry Cavalry took place at Hartham on Monday. Four troops had previously assembled for training, under the command of Viscount Malden, and had most creditably acquitted themselves. The men were dismissed to their homes yesterday. The Hants Yeomanry Cavalry (200 strong) as sembled last week at Winchester for eight days' training, under the command of Viscount Eversley. An inspection and review took place on Monday, on Compton-downs, before Lieut.-Col. Douglas, Assist.-Adjt.- Gen. Lord Eversley became major of the corps on its formation 13 years ago. His Lord ship and Major Dear are the only remaining mem bers of the corps. The Ist Regiment of Devonshire Militia was in spected on Saturday last at St. Thomas's, Exeter, by Major-General Hutchinson, commending the Western district. His report was highly satisfac• tory. The West Somerset Yeomanry Cavalry havejust completed their annual period of duty at Taunton. The regiment, which is about 430 strong, was under the command of Colonel the Hon. H. W. Portman. The regiment was inspected previous to dismissal. About 750 men belonging to the East Norfolk Militia are at present undergoing; training at Yar mouth, namely, 250 recruits and 500 men, who have had some previous training. The period of 21 days, during which the 3d Regiment of Staffordshire Militia has been in train ing at Newcastle-under-Lyne, having expired, the regiment has been inspected by Lord Frederic Paulet, in the presence of Lord Hatherton, the Lord-Lieutenant of the county, and Colonel the Hon. E. R. Littleton. The report of the inspector was moat satisfactory. THE NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIAIION. On Monday afternoon the usual monthly general meeting of the members of this association was held at Willis's-rooms, for the purpose of enlarging some of the formal rules of the society and for the trans actionof general business. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge (president) took the chair, and there were also present the Duke, of Newcastle, Earl De Grey and Ripon, the Earl of Tankerville, Lord Elcho, Hon. A. Kinnaird, Viscount Enfield, Lord Truro, Lord Radstock, Lord Colville, Lord Verner, Sir D. Baird, Sir J. Paxton, Col. Lindsay, Hon. H. Low, Major-General Hay, Colonels Kin loch, Kennedy, Bathurst, Briggs. His ROYAL HIGHNESS, in addressing the meet ing, said it would be quite unnecessary for him to detain them any details as to the objects or benefits of the Association. With regard to the prizes to be offered at the meeting this year the report was most satisfactory, and the list had been extended by several additional gifts. There was a new cup given by his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, value £lOO, a member's cup of £5O, a public schools' cup of £5O, and a cup given by the editor of the Volunteer Gazelle, value 4'23 Last year the various prizes had been distributed at the Crystal Palace, but it had been felt that much more interest would attach to this ceremony if it took place on the very ground on which the triumph had been achieved. That course, therefore, would be adopted with the distribution this year, and it had also been arranged (and as he thought most judiciously) that the ceremony of distribution should be followed by a Volunteer review of such corps as chose to take part in it. Thus, the early part of what ever day was fixed upon would be set apart for allotting the prizes, and the remainder to the evolu tions of the corps on the ground. He looked on such assemblages of the Volunteers for field days and brigade drill as most important aids to their improvement, but at the same time, it was abso lutely necessary to their success that: they should be so arranged as to insure their perfect good order and their being carried out in the best manner. He was delighted to say that the Volunteer movement had been carried out in the colonies in the most successful and praiseworthy manner, and the Rifle Association established in Canada under the presidency of Sir Alan M'Nab, showed this year a subscription list for prizes amounting to £1,600, actually an excess over the subscriptions to their own Association. The Queen's prizes were, of course, open to all these Colo nial Volunteers, and the Volunteers of Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and New Brunswick were already in communication with the society. The Duke of NEWCASTLE, in moving a formal resolution to the effect that members of the County Rifle Associations shall be entitled to admission to the National Association on paying lOs. per annum, or £5 for life membership, paid a high compliment to the Robin Hood Nottinghamshire Regiments he had (recently reviewed, and especially bore testi mony to what he had seen of the high efficiency of Canadian Volunteers. Earl DE GREY and RIPON moved that an entrance fee of 10s. be required from all Volunteers contend ing for the prizes of the Association, except those sent by regiments subscribing to the Association to the extent of £1 per company. Such a step as this he thought was absolutely necessary to keep the funds of the association in the state in which it was necessary they should be maintained. This and another formal resolution was carried nevi. con:, and in reply to questions, Lord ELcHo stated that those who contended for prizes open to all comers could use whatever rifle they chose. The public schools would use whatever rifle they had been instructed in, but the Queen's prizes couldonly be shot for with the long Enfield. Colonel LINDSAY then announced the intention of the St. George's corps to present a challenge cup, value £l5O, to be shot for at the meeting the amount derived from the i n 1862, entrance fees fo which to go to the funds of the Nati ona l Ride Asso c ciation. The prcceedings then terminated. The Madrid Gazette announces that the Queen of Spain has sent the usual notice to all the bishops of the kingdom, mentioning that she has entered the last month of her pregnancy, and requesting them to have prayers offered uP for jler a deliyery.
