" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the standalone practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to pure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other' object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true. Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemole it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular.

" Contempsi Catilince °hullos, non per timescani tuos I" I shall say no more, nor shall anything tempt me again to make any rejoinder to the attacks which may, and no doubt will, be made upon me, and of the wilful malice and persistent falsity of which I have already satisfied my own mind not unreluetantly. There is no military movement here, but there is a good- deal of discontent among the soldiery. The cause alleged for the mutiny of the 79th (Scotch) NeW York Regiment was their repugnance to serve under Mr. • Daniel Sickles. As lam told, the President accepted the services of the Sickles Brigade under:. the idea that Mr. Sickles had been made a 13rigadier-General of the State Militia by the Government of the. State of New York. The Governor, however, h t is , - of t a gentleman, 'who therefOre, without any proper authority to command.

The men have really nothing to com plain of—for they are well fed, and now they are well paid—except of their own acts in selecting im proper officers. They expect manna from Heaven. Certainly they demand ice, -water, milk, and euch luxuries under circumstances quite exceptional, which would make a British grenadier or a French fantassin be thankful for bre'sd, beef, and mutton. THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO IRELAND. (From the Special Correspondent of the Times.) DUBLIN, AUG. 29. I said in my last letter that the Queen and the Royal party would spend Wednesday in privately viewing the grand scenery around 'Muckross, and only go upon the lake in the afternoon to witness the stag-hunt. To the intense disappointment of a great muster of visitors, the programme thus laid down was strictly adhered to and her Majesty passed the morning quietly walking about the grounds of Muckross, and visiting the ruins, and did not come upon the lake till long past four in the afternoon. It is perhaps quite needless to say that much before that hour every boat that it was safe to venture in at all, with very many in which it was scarcely prudent to embark, was upon the waters. Probably there were not less than 150 large boats, and every one laden deep with ladies and gentlemen. Such a gathering had never before been seen at a stag-hunt at Killarney. Almost before twelve o'clock the great mass of the craft were distributed along the shore of the lower lake under that grand range of moun tains known as the Toomies, which are covered with a magnificent growth of trees from the water's edge up almost to the very crest of their misty sum mits. The occupants of each little vessel were of course in possession of the most authentic and the most private information as to where the hunt was really to take place, and the result was that every bay and inlet along the shore from Glenna to Ben son's Point—a distance of some three miles, was thronged by noisy, joyous picnic parties hours be fore their proper time. The weather, though cloudy, I was beautifully-fine and warm, and the effects of the mists on the mountains, and the lights and sha dows thrown as they drifted slowly across the sky, afforded endless varieties of tints, which it would seem that one could never tire of watching. Ap parently, however, these glories possessed but small charms for the Irish visitors, who never took their eyes off the channel of the lake which winds past Glenna to Muckross, and down which her Majesty was expected to come. But 1 o'clock, 2 o'clock, and then 3 o'clock passed without any signs of the Royal party, and even Hibernian enthusiasm (for it was remarked what a very small number of Eng lish visitors were present) began to flag before the long deferred hope. Gradually the crowds of boats broke up and went gliding about the smooth water, some to the ruins and green glades of Innisfallen, some to the wonderfully picturesque, though small, waterfall known as O'Sullivan's Cascade, which pours down a rocky wooded glen between the Toomies. Soon after 4, Lord and Lady Castlerosse and family came upon the water, and on the first glimpse in the distance of the well-known barge, every boat on the lake assembled to meet it, and gave his Lordship a reception which was inferior in warmth and vehemence only to that afterwards ac corded to the Queen. There is no peer or landlord in all Ireland who is more popular than his Lordship, not alone among his own tenantry, but among the people of the whole district around the lakes. The appearance of his Lordship was taken as a certain omen that her Majesty would be present, and that the hunt would take place after all, both of which events had gradually come to be regarded as improbable in the extreme. But all doubt on this point was at last entirely set at rest by the nephews of O'Connell, who assured every one that there were at least three fine stags in the woods on the Toomies, and that Her Majesty would positively witness the hunt at 5. Unfortunately, only the former part of the announcement proved to be quite correct; Her Majesty came, and the hunt took place, but nobody saw it at all. Stag hunts at Killarney, under ordinary circumstances, are the most wonderfully exciting and beautiful scenes of the kind that can ever be witnessed, and the only misfortune is that they are rare in the extreme. Now, had Mr. Herbert or Lord Castlerosse wished a staghunt on any ordinary day, and laid on M r . O'Connell's fine pack of hounds in the Toomies woods, they would have driven a stag into the water beyond all doubt. But in the case of a Royal staghunt so many precautions were taken that they spoilt the whole affair, and, as far as the Queen or visitors could tell, there was for them no staghunt at all. The woods of the Toomies are crowded with red deer, which go about in herds among the moun tains of Killarney, in ten times greater abundance than in any part of the Scottish Highlands, not even excepting the well kept Royal preserves of Aber geldie. But the crowds of boats and fireworks on the lake during the last few days had rather startled these herds, so that in order to insure the presence of at least one animal, an extra number of beaters were employed to keep the m in . the woods , after coming down to the lake to drink. The result was, that instead of one a great many apparently were thus detained, and when the hunt began on shore the hounds broke up after different quarries, and. could not succeed in driving one into the wcater until after Her Majesty had left the lakes to return to Muckross. The immense crowd of boats also no doubt had its effect in keeping the deer back, and most unquestionably the tremenitous cheers which followed Her Majesty whenever her barge attemp ted to keep up with the chase did much to spoil the day's sport. Of course tb.e l cheers were in the highest degree enthusiastic. 'and loyal, but on such an occasion they were 'scarcely perhaps quite judi cious or well timr,a. Her Majest- f , with all the Royal family, except ing his RoTAI Highness the Prince of Wales and Prince A.ifred, were upon the water soon after 5. They were seated in Mr. Herbert's barge, which Mr. Herbert steered himself. Darting along like an arrow in front of the Royal barge were the Prince of Willies and his sailor brethren in a beautiful six °wad gig, rowed by a crew of gentlemen. The heir the skill with which he guided its rapid course through the eteeve_d of other boats that thronged around her Ma jesty from all directions showed a dexterity in boat ing that, evening allowing for his careful teaching, was something surprising. Nineteen out of twenty of the people on the water did not recognise: their Royal Highnesses for some time, and as each boat had to take care of itself, and as no one was particu lorly careful about anything or anybody, it required no ordinary amount of adroitness on the part of the Prince to avoid some awkward collisions. The accla mations with which her Majesty was greeted were perfecty enthusiastic. All the boats' crews " tossed passen gers stood up uncovered, cheer oars,": all the ing and waving handkerchiefs till the echoes of Killarney were woke in all directions with beautiful acoustic effect certainly, but; as it turnedl oat, with unfortunate results as tegarth d the intended hunt. Nor was the enthusiasm 'confined only to the arrival of her Majesty. Wherever her boat moved the e flm , hearty uproarious, kindly recognition followed her throughout the day. Her Majesty seemed delighted with this welcome, for after passing down between the long flotilla of boats she returned up the lake again, and then passed down towards Benson's Point, keeping close in shore along the base of the Toomies, so that the people who had been waiting at the water's edge all day could see her closely and well. The kindness which her Majesty showed in this last respect was a theme of praise among the people everywhere. Even if her boat was in the very centre of the lake it turned at once close in shore whenever it approached a rocky point on which the peasantry were gathered, swarming in great black masses wherever there was room to stand. The hunt commenced soon after 5 o'clock, when the shouts of the beaters on the hills came 'echoing shrilly down the lakes. The dogs were laid on and their deep bay, as they struck the scent, soon told. that they were on the track. But, unfortunately, soon after Irialia — eqhttafralefirattitifiaseseasaasaa4:assres • many tracks and many stags in the covert, for the hounds were following in at least three distinct parts of the mountains. Now and then they came down close upon the edge of the water, but when on these occasions her Majesty's boat crept nearer to the shore such a cheer arose among the visitors as most effectually prevented the deer taking the water in that direction. Then the chase or chases would take another course, winding up the mountains, till the cries of the dogs could only be heard reverbe rating faintly, and the beaters could be discerned through glasses waving their arms and shouting as the deer headed up the hills towards them. For nearly two hours this lasted, the excitement in creasifig as the stags could be heard making for the lake, and falling rapidly to zero when the hunt again turned inland. At last,when nearly '7 o'clock., her Majesty apparently gave up all hope of seeing the deer, and the Royal party were steered direct up the lakes for Muckross. In an instant all the boats of visitors followed in the same direction, and the coast thus left clear one of the stags at once took the water, far down the lake, with half a score of the dogs in full cry after him. Fortunately a boat was near at hand, and by the crew of this the fugi tive animal was secured, blindfolded, bound, and hauled into the boat. He was then taken across the lake and turned adrift in another part of the moun tain. Another, lam told, escaped to the hills, and. a third was overtaken by the dogs in the woods and pulled down in a minute, but of these captures and escapes none saw anything from the water. On the return to Muckross, her Majesty passed close to a group of rocks known as the " O'Done.- hague's Cellar." These, in commemoration of her visit, she christened Victoria Point, baptising them. with a bottle of wine, as at a launch. To-day the party remained in the grounds. of Muckross till the time fixed for the departure., at half-past 12. At that hour, escorted by a troop of the Ist Royals, the Queen drove to the station in an open carriage, Mr. Herbert and Lord Cas'tlerosse riding on either side. There were great crowds all along the route, who seemed quite " beside them selves," so vehement were their uproarious demon strations of loyalty. A guard of honour of the 18th Royal Irish was drawn up in front of the station, where a great number of ladies and gentlemen were assembled to witness the departure. Mr. Houghton (chairman), Mr. O'Connor, Lord Moneurry, Mr. Morland, Mr. Ball, Mr. Pim, and Mr. Madins (directors), received her Majesty and conducted her and the Royal Family to the State carriage. A most cordial leavetaking was tl en exchanged between the Royal party and Lord and. Lady Castlerosse and Mr. and Mrs. Herbert, to whom her Majesty again expressed her deep grati fication at her visit to Killarney. Just before one o'clock the train left, amid a scene of almost inde scribable enthusiasm. All the stations on the journey up were ti ironged with visitors. At Mallow there was a g reat de monstration, and when the train stopped a "corps" of young ladies, all dressed in white, presented her Majesty with a number of splendid bouquets, all of which were most graciously accepted. The train reached Dublin before six o'clock, having performed the distance from Killarney (1.86 miles) in five hours and three minutes. During the whole of the visit the most arnple information in the way of news of all that was passing in Eng land was constantly forwarded to her Majesty by the Magnetic Telegraph Company, and for this the Queen expressed her thanks before leavin g , through Mr. Haughton, the chairman of the Railway Company. From the Kingsb ridge station, her Majesty and the Royal Family drove straight through Dublin to the Westland-row terminus. Along the streets the crowds, of course, were dense, and the enthusiasm some thing extraordinary—such as is rarely seen even in England. It was the same along the stations to Kingstown, and, if possible, still more strong at Kingstown itself, where the embarkation at once took place, under a Royal salute from the vessels of war. The weather, though very fine, was also very rough for a sea voyage, so that it is not likely the Royal yacht will cross until the morning. From Holyhead her Majesty and the Royal Family will continue their journey direct to Balmoral. The Prince of Wales only remains behind to con tinue his milit ary d u ti es a t the Cnrragh. If her Majesty is as the Iri s h p eo pl e are at its havin g been made, only half as well p leased with her visit Royal tours through Ireland will become as much things of course each autumn as the journeys to Osborne or Balm oral. There is not the least doubt but that the Queen has been very much gratified with her trip, and it is superfluous to say how much it has pleased the Irish people. DUBLIN, AUG. 30. Her Majesty remained all last night on board the yacht in Kingston harbour, and started this morning, a's 5 o'clock, for Holyhead, which was reached at a little before 9. Her Majesty remained all night at Holyhead, continuing her journey to Scotland this morning. To-morrow morning she will arrive at Perth to brearfast, resuming her progress so as to reach Balmoral the same afternoon. ARRIVAL OF TIER MAJESTY IN PERTH. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) PERTH, AUG. 31. The Queen arrived in this city at 7.5:: a.m. Her Majesty partook of breakfast at the station, and.

After a couple of failures Camerino, over-pulling Grim shaw, rushed to the front, and with the Clarissa colt and Charing Cross in close company, made strong running, the others lying close up, with the exception of Vergiss nicht, Drake, and Dictator. In this order they entered the old course, when Oldminster ran by his horses and went on with a commanding lead, Camerino going on second, Clarissa colt third, Charing Cross fourth, and Squire Peirse next ; Dictator at the same time began to improve his posi tion, and followed on, some two or three lengths in advance of the ruck. As they approached Dringhouses, Clarissa colt was passed by Charing Cross and Squire Peirse, who followed closely in the track of the leaders; but on reach ing the T.Y.C. post they were in trouble, and Dictator ran past them, followed by Vergiss-mien-nicht, the others, out paced, presenting an extended tail. On entering the straight Oldminster, with Camerino at his g rths, drew away some lengths from the Clarrissa colt and Dictator, the pair running a close race to the stand, where Grim shaw made his effort, but failed to fairly get to his head, and was beaten after a game struggle by a neck, six lengths separating the second and third, and half a length be tween third and fourth, Charing Cross fifth, Squire Peirse sixth, Vergiss-mein-nicht, Lopcatcher, Yorkmiuster, and The Drake forming the rear division.

Some considerable delay was occasioned through Letty Long, Imperatrice, and Fantasia breaking away; but at last an admirable start was effected. Letty Long, in company with Fantasia, Q.E. D., Imperatrice, Flytrap, and Beverley, made the running to the turn into the straight, where Im peratrice, coming up in the centre, caused the favourite to go round his horses, and Letty Long on the rails, which enabled her to get in front ; but, after running a few strides, she was joined by Q.E.D. and Letty Long, between which three a close and exciting race ensued, the favourite at last winning by a head, a neck separating the second and third; Flytrap was fourth, Hernani fifth, Kate Price sixth, and Miss Mary next.

THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. (From the Times' Special Correspondent.) AUGUST 16. There are two kinds of news which military men can learn from newspapers—that which is gleaned by analysis of the contents, the value of which de pends on the materials and the skill of the operator ; and direct intelligence, the worth of which is in proportion to its correctness. To tell a general that a work is well built is like acquainting him that Troy was strong. To tell him that such a regiment is in such a place, trivial as it seems, may be of immense use to him if he knows how the divisions and brigades of his enemy are composed. A fort differs from an earthworth as much, "as an iron plated frigate from the Trojan horse. But in its way the horse may be made the ruin of Troy. If A,Fere,to stag, tb,alajottflontaip,ekso many uns, F and that thy bo - re on such and such points, rmight lead my military friend into a fatal error, if I did not inform him that there was a ditch with 12 feet of water in it outside. If the position of the ma gazines were indicated to an investing force, it would be worth much more than the knowledge of the calibres of the guns, which are soon ascertained by tangible proofs. There are hundreds of points of this kind on which ignorance requires to be in formed as to worth and uselessness. It is necessary to say so, because an outcry has come from the South, I hear, against me for communicating to the enemy—i.e., the North—intelligence which I was enabled to acquire in my capacity as a neutral. Now, let me say, that though I was a neutral I was the special correspondent of a newspaper published a long way off, and that I distinctly stated to every officer whose command I visited, on both sides, that I was going to publish so much of what I saw as ap peared to me likely to interest the readers of the journal I represented. I went so far as to say to more than one, " Mind ! what I write will come back in a month or six weeks." I saw everything, but I was far from publishing everything. I did more than could have been expected from me, for I did not enter upon details, which would have been far more injurious to the Southerners than the general statements I made in reference to the condition and position of their men and batteries. When I set out to visit the South from Washington hostilities had not corn.. menced, but I felt they were coming, and it appeared to me desirable to visit the South before the hot weather physically set in, and, above all, before the hotter weather pol itically which I apprehended came upon me. It was obvious that, with the coasts blockaded and mails cut off, it would have been of little use for your correspondent to have been in the South, unless he had adopted the ingenious expe dient of the representative of one of your contem poraries, and published his letters in a local paper before he sent them to London. I made my tour in the South as a neutral, but those who met me will do me the justice to admit that I never concealed my opinions, or simulated those which I did not feel, as my letters afterwards could have shown. I may claim for myself the credit of having spoken boldly and openly to all men—more than once or twice to the disturbance of the agreeable social relations which I held with men who were socially all I could wish, and whose kindness and courtesy—nay, more, whose actual friendship, I shall always remember. And all that time I was undergoing- the savage censure of the Northern papers because I went to the South at all, and saw with my own eyes what they could not see, and did not take all their myths as gospel! Very soon after I arrived at Washing ton I was invited to the house of a Cabinet Minister, when I met a very energetic officer of the naval department, who asked me point blank, " In what state are their works at Memphis and Randolph P" I replied, " I cannot answer you, sir. I visited the works as a neutral, and, as the correspondent of a neutral newspaper in a foreign country, I have com municated all I think proper to state on the sub ject." Now, at that very moment my letter was on its way to the Times, but, though I made use of con siderable detail in describing General Pillow's works, I abstained from much which was learnt in confi dence, just as I refrained in the very same letter from stating many matters relating to Cairo. For instance, General Pillow told me in confidence he had ordered a chain cable from New Orleans to stretch across the Mississippi so as to bring up any steamers under his batteries, and possibly to sink them, but, as I did not see the cable, I did not think it right to mention the circumstance, any more than I did Mr. Benjamin's views as to the law of blockade, Mr. Jeffersons Davis's private re marks, or the little matters which are made known to the man, and not to the newspaper correspon dent. Now, it must be remembered that all I wrote to England from the South was new ; it was intelligence no Northern papers could give; it was notorious that I intended to send it to England. At that time direct intelligence flooded the land with light from the North, and any man could learn how many regiments had arrived at Wash ington, how many guns had been put in position or in the field, as clearly as he knew what Mrs. Lin coln said when she was buying a set of china in New York, or of what pattern the said set was. For. all the American world I preserved unbroken silence as to what I saw in the South; till my letters came back no one knew what I had seen. If any living man can prove that before I left New York I had expressed anything but wonder at the apathy and calm which existed there when my visit took place, or that before I visited the South, or when I was there, I ever said a word in appro bation of slavery, or expressed any opinion on either side in opposition to that which appears rather as a record of impressions than as an opinion from day to day as I passed through the country; then I submit to the necessary loss of the confidence you have placed in me and which you have obtained for me in this country. This is no light matter. The character of a newspaper correspondent may not be of so much worth in America to himself or to the journal he represents that so much type should be used in its vindication, but I am sure you will feel it is due to the paper I represent, and to him who here represents it, to say so much in reply to scandalous accusations and to imputations dis graceful only to those who use them, which have been freely used against me. If, as I had occasion to say once before, General Beauregard, General Lawton, Colonel Hardee, General Hebert, General Bragg, Mr. - Walker (the Secretary of War for the Confederate States), General Pillow, on the one side, or General Prentiss, General M,Dowell, General Scott, or Mr. Secretary Cameron, on the other, can accuse me of breach of faith, it will be time for me to show I have never betrayed any confidence or forfeited the claims to trustworthi ness which the correspondents of the Times have gained in the Crimea, India, and Italy. I had no theories to maintain, no prejudices to justify. I neither believed that the United States represented the perfection of government, or that it was the coup manque of mankind in self-government. I did not think that slavery was the unforgivable sin, or that it was the reproduction of the system under which the Fathers of the Primaeval World ad ministered their patriarchial rules. As things seemed to me, so I sought to describe them. The husk might be too thick for me to penetrate, but at least I could say what, as it appeared to me, were its colour, shape, substance, and nature.

GREAT FIRE NEAR' Taff LONDON DOCKS. Early yesterday evening the city and eastern part of the metropolis were again alarmed by the outbreak of a fire in the immediate neighbourhood of the London and St. Katherine docks, involving a great loss of property and, it is feared, of human life. The premises on which the conflagration oc curred were the extensive sugar works and refinery of Messrs. Harrison and Wilson, on the west side of Dock-street,Upper East Smithfield, in close prox imity to the London Docks, and in consequence of their lofty proportions formed a prominent pile, as seen from the bridges. The warehouse, a massive structure, was nine stories in height, and with the boiler-house, store, and departments covered a large area of ground. At the time of the outbreak the works were in full operation, and workmen were en gaged on the several floors at their various avocations. The fire is supposed to have commenced in the lower part of the building. The sudden rush of smoke into the upper floors seems to have been the first intimation to the workpeople of their danger, when a desperate attempt was made to escape by the staircases. The men, however, found that means of egress impracticable, and the intense heat and smoke drove them to-the upper floors, and they finally got on to the roof. Almost at the same moment flames burst forth from all the windows of the lower floors, and the poor fellows seeing their very critical position, as all hope of escaping through the warehouse was cut off, made for the south-west angle of the building, where there was a short ladder which communicated with the store, a building which adjoined, and the roof of which was some 25ft. or 30ft. below. A rush was made to descend to it. Some got down in safety, others slid down the water pipe, and three, we under stand, fell over in the scramble to escape and were so shockingly injured that they had to be imme diately lowered and conveyed to the London Hos pital. Two men were reported to be missing, and it was feared, no information having been obtained up to the time this was written, that they had, unhappily, perished. The different floors being loaded with sugar, and the timbers strongly impregnated with saccharine matter, the fire made the most rapid progress and extended from floor to floor with astonishing rapidity. The huge cloud of black smoke which rose from the warehouse darkened the neighbour hood, and being distinctly seen from the different bridges caused a general alarm throughout the metropolis, attracting an immense crowd to the vicinity of the fire. The fire brigade displayed their usual alacrity in arriving at the scene. Nearly a dozen land engines, including the power ful steam land engine, were brought into operation in a short time. In the absence of Captain Shaw, the successor to the late Mr. Braidwood, the direction of the force devolved upon Messrs. Hen derson, Bridges, and Gerrard, the chief officers who were in attendance. Notwithstanding the vigorous efforts made to check the flames they continued to extend and defy all power to subdue them, and at length within an hour the whole of the lofty warehouse presented one body of fire, the floors falling in at intervals with a crash resembling distant thunder. The wind, which was blowing from the north-west, carried the flames and burning embers in the direction of the warehouses and ship ing in the London Docks, and at one time serious apprehensions were entertained for the security of that establishment. The company's dock-floats were brought up into the western basin, and the two bri gade floating engines were also hauled in from the river and brought near the north quay. Mr, Randall, the superintendent of the dock. got some of the land engines to work on the roof of . the new wool ware h o uses abutting on to East Smithfield, where the most danger appeared to exist, and it was some hours before it was deemed safe to cease ope rations. By 8 o'clock the main building of the sugar fac tory was gutted, the whole of the floor and roof had fallen, and nothing remained but the huge tottering blackened walls. A ll the exertions of the firemen were now directed to the store warehouse and stores which stood at the rear, and contained an immense stock of sugars. They communicated by an iron door at the basement story, which being partially open led to an apprehension that n oth' ng wou ld save those departments from a similar fate with the sugarhouse. The brigade, however, seeing the great peril in which the property was placed, wor k e d with admirable courage and energy, the workpeople rendering the most valuable aid, and contrary to the expectation of the firm, after the most fear ful labour, for the heat was intense, they succeeded in keeping the fire at bay and eventually this sec tion of the works was saved. The flames in the gutted warehouse raged furl ouoly until near midnight, but no further destrue• i
