TOZEAU'S COPAHINE, or SACCHARATED CAPSULES.—ropaiba and Cubeba are doubtless the best remedies, but these drugs are of a repulsive taste and odour and occasion colicky pains, nausea, and gastric dis turbance. M. Jozeau has succeeded in rendering these valu able therapeutic agents • erfectly innocuous by increasing in his Copahine all t e curative properties. This preparation has been adopted by the Paris Academy of Diet - Heine, atter more than a thousand trialq in Paris and the different Lon don hospitals. viz., ht.

EXTRACTS FROM THE REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1860. The success of the Company, e •en in its earliest years, received the marked atten ion, and elicited .the surprised vi l r , merits, of writers best acquainted with the history of In surance Companies. " Fire Premiums for 1860 EQUAL the Total Fire Premiums for the SEVEN YEARS 1845 to 1851. "Life Premiums for 1860 EXC ED the Entire Life Pre aniums for the EIGHT Y ARS endinz 185?. "Purcha e of Annuities in 1 8 60 LARGELY EXCEEr'S the similar receipt for the first TEN YEARS, 1845 to 18 - 4. "Thi- prce,ress, it is believed, is unsurpassed. cnnsiderfnz That it applies to each of the three brancies of the business." FIRE BRANCH. " The Fire Branch has certain y shown no exhaustion dur ing the year 1860 of that impetus which had previously brought it to a position of the first magnitudl among the Insurance Companies of the United Kingdom. The Fire Premiums in 1839 had advanced to the sum of £2.'8,314 7s. 3d. In 1860 the amount of Fire Premiums has arrived at a sum of '42 2 977 19.. 11d., showing an increase of £34,663 12s. Bd., ex ceeding. the large advance of the preceding - year, so that in two years the Iftire Revenue of the Company has been en .need by the enormous sum of £66,829 17s. sd. "The Parliamentary Rc port of Returns of Duty prid Government for the year 1860 exhibits the angmentation of the business in a more promine , ,t way, as it affords the means of comparison with otoer Companies. The Proprietors ivi!l be gratified to learn that the increase of Duty paid by the Royal in the last year is more than double that of any other Co , epany, either London or Provincial, whilst only one of those Companies even approaches to 50per cent. of the ad vance of this Comp ny. Our increase actually equals 30 per cent. of the entire increase of the whet- of he Metropolitan Offices combined, whilst of the Provincial Offices it forms up wards of 30 per cent, of the total advance of the other offices established out of London.

"The 'Reports of the Company for several years have had invariably to announce a corstant periodical expansion of its Life Business. the New Policies ofeach succeeding year show ing an advance over the one that had immediately preceded it l A similar result is shown in the year 1860, the Premiums on New Policies, after deducting Guarantees, he ng £15,097 17 s, led. wh eh is an increase on that item of £1,99317t. sd. above the arrp•unt received for the year 1859. "But even this advance is small when compared with the sudden and remarkable momentum which has been given to this Branch of the Business in the present year (1861). "It was not until the commencement of the year that the Public seemed to have become fully acquainted with the fact t the Royal Insurance Company had published late in the 'last year an account of the investigation into the Assets and nabilities of its Life Department, under a novel form, and in as plain and intelligible a manner as the abstruseness of the subject admitted, together with the entire statements and valuations necessary for that purpose. " It is conjectured from the extensive Notices of this Pam phlet and its accompanying Diagrams, which have appeared In the Periodicals of the day, that it has largely attracted the attention of vast numbers' f Persons in all parts of the United iiinodom, as well as in other parts of the World. Indeed a most satisfactory and conclusive evidence that such is the case is affordcd by the fact that the sum Assured on New Policies in the six months to the :id June of the present year is ac tually 60 per cent. in excess of the sum essuredin the corres "ding months of the year 1860, although the latter amount in if se►f exceeded the sum assured in any like previous period of time " If this success be continued, the Royal insurance Com pany would, with respect to the amount of its new business, be at once placed (at least with one or two exceptions , at the head of all the Tnsurance Companies doing business in this Country, and the anticipations of the last Report, to the effect that the deta•ls of the Lire Business then to be pub lished would form an epoch of the Establishment, will have a speedy and very happy realisation."

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 Hypochrondriasis. 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 oqually flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct.."—London Medical Gazette. 44 The editor 'his ciarferred 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 Spermatorrhcea 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 ; but the moderate price at which the `brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter." — Dublin Medical Press.

Some are working in the neighbour hood as labourers on the farms, others ere hiding in. the large towns, and that they are numerous may be judged from the fact of 65 being counted going past one house in rather an out of-the-way place in one day. The stories of deserters are never to be credited. These men complain of bad treatment from officers, want of food, and no pay. It is known that some officers never stopped their career from the moment they turned their backs at Bull's Run till they ran to earth in their own houses, and by their own firesides in the North. If anything could increase the schism between the regulars and the volunteers, it has been found in the bitter manner in which the Artillery speak of the deser tion of the troops placed to support the United. States' batteries, which were fought with great gallantry, and only abandoned at the last moment. The " Act for the Better Organisation of the Military Establishment" appoints five Assistant- Inspectors-General in addition to the present number, ten surgeons, and twenty assistant-sur geons; remodels the Adjutant-General's Depart meet, and strengthens it; increases the Commissa riat Department, the corps of Engineers, the Ord nance Department, the Quartermaster-General's Department ; creates a corps of waggoners, a corps of female nurses; provides for chaplains to each regiment, and for the entry of cadets into the ser vice ; increases the rations—viz , to 22 oz. bread or flour, or llb. biscuit, hard bread, beans, rice, or hominy, and lib. potatoes or equivalents, tea or coffee, fresh beef as often as practicable; regulates retirements, relative ranks, and pay. The Congress at Richmond has instructed the Judiciary Committee to inquire into the expediency of taking and preserving evidence of the abduction or reception of slaves by the enemy, to the end that indemnity may be exacted hereafter. General Fremont has received 36 heavy guns with equipments from Pittsburg. Nothing more has been heard of General Pillow's force and its attack on Bird's Point. Some insignificant skir mishes have been reported from Missouri. I can write no more. Thermometer 103 in the shade. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, AUG IST 24, 1861.

At that dale there were there the squadron under the command of Rear-Admiral George Rodney Mundy, C. 8., consisting of the Hannibal, 91 (flagship), the Algiers, 91, the Aga memnon, 91, the 0 ion, 91. the Mars, 80, the Mel pomene, 51, the Amphion, 36, the Lapwing, 4, and the Mohawk, 4; the French squadron, consisting of five line-of-battle ships and ene or two smaller vessels ; two Russian frigates, the Grand Admiral, 74 (bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Shestakoff), and the Oeleg, 74; also a Turkish liner, a frigate, and a corvette. The different men-of-war were drawn up in two lines, the English and Turks form ing one, and the French and Russians the other. The Renown leaves to-day or to-morrow with in valids, for England. Her Majesty's gunboat Re cruit, 6, Commander D Spain, arrived on the 13th from the Danube, having been relieved on that station by the Weser, 6. The Recruit is homeward bound, to be paid off. On the 13th the Russian steam-frigate Gromoboi, 50, Capt. Fedarowski, ar rived from Beyrout. This vessel, like the Ilia Maurometz and Sokol, of the same nation, which called in here a few days ago, had been ordered home, and was in fact, on her way to Cronstadt. Much to the surprise of every one on board, however, the Russian Consul at this island received a telegraphic despatch from St. Petersburg, ordering her immediate return to the coast of Syria. The reason for this sudden and quite unexpected counter-order appears to be un known. Her Majesty's ship Caesar, 90, Capt. Thos. H. Mason, left Malta on the morning of the 14th inst. for Beyrout, calling at Suda Bay (Candia), to give stores and provisions to the Gannet, 11, Corn mender Edward H. G. Lambert. The same even ing her Majesty's ship Neptune, 90, Capt. G. T. P. Hornby, and Liffey, 51, Capt. G. W. Preedy, C. 8., left port under steam, and sailed for Castellamare. These vessels were followed on the 17th by the Victor Emmanuel, 91, Capt. Wm. J. C. Clifford, C.B. The Commander-in-Chief, Sir Wm. Fanshawe Martin, K.C.8., on board the Marlborough, 131, follows on the 19th, accompanied, I understand, by the Terrible, 21, paddle, Capt. Fred. H. 11. Glasse, C.B. Her Majesty's corvette Scourge, 6, paddle, Commander W. G. Jones, C. 8., arrived on the 15th inst. from Gibraltar five and Algiers three days, having on board Lieut.-Gen. Sir Wm. Codrington, K.C.8., Governor of Gibraltar and staff. The Scourge resumed her voyage to Constantinople yes terday. The Foxhound, 4, Commander the Hon. A. Hobart, with a mail for Corfu ; the Racoon, 22, Capt. W. C. Chamberlain, for Smyrna; and the Scylla, 21, Capt. Rowley Lambert, for Sicily, left port the same day. The French Government steam yacht, La Reine Hortense, Capt. Count Morave, has just entered port from Marseilles, having on board the Count and Countess of Montebello, who, it is said, are on their way to Constantinople." The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty ar rived at Sheerness from Chatham on Thursday, for the purpose of inspecting the dockyard and the ships in the harbour. Their lordships were conveyed from Chatham in the Black Eagle, paddlewheel steam yacht, Master J. E. Pettey, R.N., carrying the Admiralty flag. On Wednesday evening a tele gram had been received from their lordships re questing the steam of the Goliah, 80, screw steamship, 400 horse power, of the second division of the steam reserve, to be got up, which was completed by 12 a.m. on Thursday, and on Thursday morning orders were given to get up the steam of the Rod ney, 86, screw steamship, 500-horse power, second division, which was completed by two o'clock. Both of the vessels were minutely inspected, as well as the Meanee, 80, screw steamship, 400 horse power, the Phaeton, 51, screw steam frigate, 400- horse power, the Malacca, 17, steam-sloop, 200-horse power, and also the site for the new battery which is about to be built off Sheerness for the protection of the entrance to the river Medway. Their lord ships expressed themselves much pleased with their inspection. In the evening they were entertained at dinner by the Commander-in-Chief, Vice-Admiral W. J. Hope Johnstone. After dinner, their lord ships adjourned to the Black ErOle for the night. They resumed their inspection at 10 a.m., by paying a visit to the dockyard, and carefully inspecting the works in progress, and the various alterations which have been made in the yard since their last visit, as well as the various workshops and fitting basin. At one o'clock they partook of lunch with Captain-Superintendent Charles Wise, Aide-de- Camp to the Queer., from whose residence they pro ceeded to inspect the flagship Formidable. They subsequently embarked in the Vivid and the Black Eagle for Dover. The Shannon, 51, screw, in the first-class reserve at Portsmouth, officially testsd her machinery yes terday outside the harbour, under the superinten dence of Capt. H. Broadhead, commanding her Majesty's ship Asia, and the reserve at the port. The Pandora, 5, screw, tried under the superinten dence of the same officer the preeious day, realised a speed of 8 794 knots, the meat of six runs, at a draught of water of—forward, 9 feet 7 inches ; aft, 11 feet 7 inches. On one of her former trials, draw ing 11 feet 2 inches aft and 7 fee; 10 inches forward, she realised 10.500 knots. The Chanticleer, 1 7, screw, has been placed in No. 8 Dock, at Portsmouth, the Medea, 6, paddle, having been previously taken !rom the same dock and placed in the steam basin. Her Majesty's paddlewheel steamer Antelope, Lieut.-Commander Al lingham,rsterday sailed from Woolwich for Greenhithe, to ie adjusted for the West Coast of Africa, as previously stated. She is under orders to call in at Portsnouth. The 'War Department vessel Lord Vivian yester day commenced shipping melting cupolas and other war stores for the Isle of Guernsey. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Henry Harkam, surg., to the Pantaloon ; Benjimin Ninnis, acting assist.-surg., to the Pantaloon ; William Roche (a), assist.-surg., to the Impregnable, for Plymouth Hospital; Arthur Hughes, assist.-paymaster, to the Pem broke ; John G. Card, clerk, to the Centurion ; Au gustus A. Lyne, clerk, to the Pantaloon ; William E. Boxer, assist.-clerk, to the Revenge ; George Deveson, assist.-clerk, to the Conqueror; Lewis G. Hodder, assist.-clerk, to the Donegal; John W. Seccombe, assist.-clerk, to the Hero ; Thomas A. Irwin, assist-clerk to the Edgar ; H. C. Barnard, assist.-clerk to the Trafalgar ; Edwin R. S. Sandys, assist: clerk, to the Aboukir ; Frederick G. Far rows, assist.-clerk, to the Centurion ; and Montague W. Potts, assist.-clerk, to the Narcissus. - Capt. William Loring, C. 8., and Capt. John N. Tarleton, C. 8., have been appointed Aides-de-Camp to her Majesty the Queen. in the place of Rear- Admiral Charles Eden, WI, and Rear-Admiral the Hon. Charles G. J. B. Elliot, C.B. the disturbances at that time raging, it landed at the Cape of Good Hope. In all the active opera tions and expeditions of the Caffre war this corps took a leading part. For performing long harass ing marches, and skirmishing in the mountains and fastnesses of the Amatolas and Waterkloof in small detachments against 50 times their number of Caffres, they were never surpassed, and rarely equalled. At the end of the war great numbers were invalided from heart disease, brought on by over exertion in a hot climate. In 1857 the 73d were sent on to India to assist in quelling the mutiny, and though they arrived too late to take a share in the greater actions of Lucknow and Delhi, they did good service in different parts of Oude and Central India. The regiment is now about to pro ceed to Plymouth, where it will be stationed during the winter. During the present week a party of the Royal Artillery, under Col. Gibbon, R.A., commanding in the Eastern District, have been engaged in testing the strength of the martello towers upon the coast, by firing 68-pounder guns from them. It has been found that nearly all the martello towers upon the coast may be mounted with heavy ordnance. The officers and men of the Bth (King's) Regi ment, at Aldershott, have approved a design by Mr. Leifchild of a memorial cross, to be erected on the Grand Parade, Portsmouth, to the memory of those belonging to the regiment who fell during the Indian Mutiny. Tho body of the unfortunate marine, Benjamin Bradshaw, who was shot in the Plumstead range, was yesterday interred in the cemetery at Wool wich. Several committees have been formed to raise subscriptions for his widow and family. The non-commissioned officers of the division at Wool wich, to which he had been attached upwards of 18 years, have contributed ss. and 2s, 6d. each, various sums have been collected from civilians in the town , and committees aro about to be e s t a bli s h e d i n every division of the Volunteer Corps for the same purpose. In accordance with orders from the Horse Guards, several alterations have been made in the transfers of the various depots at Chatham previously an nounced. Instead of the depot companies of the 2d battalion of the 23d Royal Welsh Fusileers pro ceeding from Weimer to Chatham, as had been ordered a few days since, to join the Ist depot bat talion, the Ist battalion of the 23d has been ordered to leave Chatham, and will vacate that garrison on the 29th inst. The 731 depot will have Chatham for Chichester on Tuesday next, relieving the depot of the 2d battalion 4th King's Own. The depot of the 12th Regiment is spoken of as being about to be sent to Chatham to take the place of the 23d Royal Welsh Fusileers. The depot companies of the 2d battalion of the 20th Regiment arrived at Chatham on Thursday evening, from Aldershott Camp They are attached to the 2d depot battalion. Several other British depots will be stationed at Chatham. The details have not yet been announced. TILE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. (From the Correspondent of the Times.) WASHINGTON, AUG. 10. The beat has been so oppressive that even if the armies were ready for action they could not fight. Prince Napoleon on his excursion to Mount Vernon on Wednesday lost two horses from sunstroke, or, at least, the United States Government did so, but, nothing daunted, he went across the river yester day with special passes and an escort, and attended by General M•Dowoll, to the Confederate outposts, whence he went over to visit General Beauregard, and probably to Richmond. Mr. Seward did not offer any objections, cf course ; but this step on the Prince's part has displeased some of the friends of the Government. I have been visiting the camps at the other side, and observe no sign of an aggressive movement, but there is a concentration of troops on our right to meet a display of force on the part of the enemy beyond the Chain-bridge and at Great Falls. In my last letter I referred to the misrepresenta tions respecting the visits of the Confederates to Mount Vernon, which had so far influenced General Scott that he wrote a general order, rather remark able in its phraseology, warning the Federal troops against the commission of any acts of Vandalim should they be in that vicinity. Similar misappre hensions on the part of General Beaurezard led to his sending a flag of truce to inquire whether the Federalists had been hanging prisoners taken in battle. The explanation is that some gymnasts of a regiment were exhibiting their feats for the amuse ment of their comrades, and had been taken by the spectators as the victims of capital punishment. It is to be hoped that the report which has appeared of the brutal flogging of a Northern woman by a mob in one of the Seceded States is equally untrue. I am inclined to think General Butler's recent visit to Washington was connected with his desire to enforce on the minds of the military authorities his plan of operations from Fort Monroe, in which I must confess there seems to be a great deal of soundness. There is, of course, difficulty in the way of concentrating troops, baggage, and material by sea; but the Federalists, after all, are only twelve hours from Baltimore by the Chesapeake, and a few hours more from Washington. They command the sea, and they ought to be able to collect in force more rapidly by means of a naval flotilla than the Confederates could assemble to oppose them. The Spec'al Session of the 37th Congress, which adjourned yesterday to the 4th of December, passed during its brief sitting of a month a number of Acts more important in character, ar.cl introduc ing changes of greater consequence in the constitu tion of the United States, than any since the Declaration of Independence. Among these, taking them in order, are — An Act to authorise a National Loan An Act for the Temporary Increase of the Navy. An act to authorise the Employment of Volun teers to aid in enforcing the Law in Protecting Property. An Act to Indemnify the States for Expenses in curred by them in the Defence of the United States. An Act to provide for the Payment of the Police of the City of Baltimore ; to enable the Mint to furnish Small Gold Coins; and to provide for the Manufacture or Purchase of Field Signals. An Act to increase the present Establishment of the United States. An Act to provide for the Suppression of Rebel lion and Resistance to the Laws of the United States; and to amend the Act entitled "An Act to call the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union" passed 'in 1795. An Act making an Appropriation to pay the Expenses of transporting and delivering Arms and Munitions of War to the Loyal Citizens of the States of which the Inhabitants now are or hereafter may be in Rebellion against the Go7ernment of the United States, and to provide for the Expense of organis ing them into Companies, Battalions. Regiments, or otherwise, for their own Protection against Domes tic Violence, Insurrection, Invasion, or Rebellion. An Act in addition to an Act entitled " An Act to provide for the Collection of Duties and Imports, and for other purposes," approved July 13, 1861. An Act to Define and Punish certain Conspiracies. An Act to provide for the Construction of Ar moured Ships and Floating Batteries, and for other purposes. An Act to provide for the Purchase of Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Stores. An Act supplementary to an Act entitled "An Act to Protect the Commerce of the United States and Punish the Crime of Piracy." An Act providing for the Amelioration of Mili tary Establishments. An Act authorising the Construction of 12 small side-wheel Steamers. An Act to punish certain Crimes against the United States. An Act authorising additional Enlistments in the Navy of the United States. An Act making further Appropriations for the Support of the Navy Service for the year ending June 30, 1862, and for other purposes. An Act making an Appropriation to pay the Expenses of the Investigating Committee of the House of Representatives ancl Senate, appointed the first Session of the 37th Congress, and of the Com mission authorised to Examine and Report as to the Compensation of all °dicers of the Government. Au Act to suspend in part the Operation of an Act entitled " An Act Relating to Revenue Cut ters and Steamers." An Act to confiscate Property used for Insurrec tionary Purposes. An Act to provide for holding the District and Circuit Courts in Judicial Districts during a temporary Vacancy of the Judgeship. An Act supplementary to an Act entitled " An Act to authorise a National Loan, and for other pur poses." An Act to create a Metropolitan Police District of the District of Columbia, and to establish a Police therefor. An Act requiring an Oath of Al:egiance and to support the Constitution of the United States to be administered to certain Persons in the Civil Service of the United States. An An Act supplementary to an Act entitled " Act to increase the present military Establishment of the United States," approved July 29, 1861. An Act in relation to the Office of Attorney of the United States for the southern district of New York. An Act relating to Appeals to the Supreme Court of the United States. . . _ An Act making Appropriations for Fortifications, and for other purposes. An Act to reduce Consular Fees for Vessels run ning to or between foreign Ports. An Act to authorise an Increase in the Corps of Engineers and Topographical Engineers. An Act explanatory of an Act entitled " An Act concerning the Attorney-General and the Attor neys and Marshals of the several Districts." An Act to increase the pay of the Non-commis sioned Officers, Musicians, and Privates of the Regular Army, Volunteers, Marines, and Ordinary Seamen in the service of the United States, and-for other purposes. _ . An Act to increase the Pay of the Privates of the Regular Army, and of the Volunteers in the service of t he United States, and for other purposes. Mr. H. May, a member of the Maryland delega tion in Congress, in explaining why he refused to recommend Lieut.-Col. Emery for the rank of gene ral, states that he did. so on the ground that he re commended no one for military office during this wretched civil war, that Maryland ought not to be expected to furnish either officers or men to carry on a war so repugnant to the feelings of her people. In Missouri the new Governor, Gamble, has issued a proclamation to the authorities to enrol the people into organisation, and notifying the troops of the Confederates States who have entered the coun try, that their continuance there would be regarded as an act of war against the State of Missouri. He offers protection to penitents, and it is understood that a committee of Public Safety will be formed in each county to maintain the peace, in default of which the United States troops would be called in and quartered on the people. In another distracted State, Virginia, the State Convention at Richmond have ordained that any citizen of the St ate holding office under the Govern ment of the United States after the 31st July, Ib6l, shall be banished for ever, and be declared an alien enemy; and that any citizen who shall undertake to represent the State in Congress shall be deemed guilty of treason, and his property shall be confis cated. The proposition of Mr. Cox, of Ohio, to appoint commissioners to meet commissioners from the Southern States,in order to adopt such amendments to the Constitution as shall assuage all grievances, was rejected so peremptorily as to leave no hope that any disposition exists in Congress for a compromise. Indeed, it has been with difficulty that the ultra party in both houses have been prevented from passing the most violent resolutions day after day, and the very last sitting of Congress witnessed several attempts of the kind. Mr. Diven proposed that at a time when armed rebellion threatened the integrity of the Union and the overthrow of the Government any and all resolutions recommending or designing to make terms with armed rebels is either cowardice or treason ; which Mr. Cox met by a resolution that the member from New York who endeavoured to introduce a resolution de nouncing over 40 members of this house because of their vote for propositions to adjust our national difficulties as cowards and traitors deserves the censure of this house and of all true patriots for the falsity, arrogance, and insults to his peers con tained in his unparliamentary resolution. It was not without opposition at the last that the resolution of Congress approving and confirming the acts of the President for suppressing insurrection and rebellion wls passed before the house adjourned; and the forlorn hope, represented by Messrs. Breck inridge, Bayard, and a few others, showed fight to the very last. The intelligence received from Ken tucky shows that so far the result of the elections to the State Legislature has been favourable to the Unionists as opposed to the State-Rights men, and it is not tco much to suppose that so far that great and important State has given a general adhesion to the acts of the Government. It bas yet to be seen, however, what course the Legislature will pursue, and it must be remembered that the Governor, Beriah Magoffir, not long ago asserted the absolute sovereignty and neutrality of the State of Kentucky and called out her forces, naval and military to re sist any invasion either by the Confederates or by the troops of the United States, in which he seemed supported by the general feeling of the citizens. An appeal made to the President in reference to searches for arms in the State of Maryland has been followed by an order from General Scott, that searches of houses for arms, &e., and arrests shall only be made by special authority of the Comman der of the Department, unless in extreme cases. Mr. Allen, of Ohio, failed before the Senate rose in obtaining a hearing for his resolution, that it was no part in the present war to interfere with the in stitution of slavery in any States of the Union, and it is now felt that if the contest is to go on the end must be a direct war against slavery itself. At the present moment it is calculated that the United States' expenditure exceeds 1,000,000 dole. a• day. Mr. Secretary Chase, in his report to Con gress, stated that the sums already voted amounted to 318,519 581 dols., of which sum he proposed to raise 240,000,000 dols. by loans, and 80,000,000 dole. by increased Customs and taxation. A direct tax of 20,000,000 dols , an income•tax of 3 per cent. upon all incomes al]n•ve 800 dols., raised to 5 per cent. in the case of absentees, with large additions to the Morrill Tariff, are the means proposed ; but not one shadow of truth has been adduced to prove that any one of them will answer the end, while, in the case of the Seceded States, we know that the appropriations cannot at present, if ever, be raised. With all the efforts that a man can make to keep . down his e x p enses , the mighty spasm odic efforts of the North t o create and mainta in a g reat military establishment are attended by great waste; but peculations, which have been of late extensive and active, putting devil's dust and shoddy into cloth, brown paper into shoe soles, and indulging in simi lar practices, whereby patriotic citizens make for tapes by their country's losses, have not so much to do with the extravagance as the ignorance of Those charged with the distribution of the public money. I have seen it stated in an American paper that a volunteer costs five times as much as a regular sol dier, and I have been assured by an officer of the regular army that a volunteer costs certainly three times as much as an enlisted private. It is gene• rally declared that every soldier maintained by the United States costs £2OO per annum. The last Act of Congress was to raise the pay of the soldier to 13 dols. a month, or about £2 17s. 6d, and this paid to him with little or no deduction such as our soldiers suffer from. In the matter of ordnance alone the waste must be extraordinary. Guns of all calibres, six pounders, tens, twenties, thirties, and special rifled ordnance for each description ; all kinds of experimental guns on trial, some probably not more efficacious than the famous proposal which has been suggested in many Northern papers, of driving the enemy from Manassas, and of dest ro y in g those eternal masked batteries, bow do you think? By the plan of our old friend Pelissier, in Algeria, when he smoked the Arabs out of their caves! To iCTGT:ST 20.

No sufferer should despair till the renowned medicaments of Professor Holloway have been tried. Few cases of external or inter nal disease.can resist their soothing, purifying, and healing virtues. They are universally applicable, they agree with every age, sex, climate, and constitution. Both ointment and pills contain the most potent, yet perfectly harmless, balsams, most% carefully extracted from the purest drugs. Whatever the nature, duration, lenity, or severity of the malady, the firmest reliance may be placed on the curative action of these invaluable preparations, used in accordance with their accompanying printed instruclioto, THE .e/ BM?. The depot of the 37th Regiment, forming part of the 10th Depot Battalion, in Colchester Camp, is immediately to be r:moved to Pembroke. The fol lowing additions will shortly be made to the strength of the camp—viz., the 2d battalion Ist Royals, from Birr, Ireland, consisting o f six officers and 240 men ; the 2d battalion of the sth Fusileers, from Pembroke, comprising three officers and 110 rank and file; and the 2d battalion of the 6th Foot, from Cork, with four officers and 200 rank and file. The 73d Regiment has arrived at Gravesend from India, in the ships Aliquis and White Eagle, after 16 years' arduous service in various parts of the world. It left England is Sept., 1845, and after being detained for a year on the coast of South America, where it was actively engaged in quelling PRICE 4d. STAMPED sd. A NOT "E L C 211P..1 N The Sleek' publishes some interestinf , details rela tive to a Joint-Stock Company founded by a few operative masons, which has proved completely suc cessful :—" They founded their association in 1848, but they had the good fortune not to receive any pecuniary aid from the State. They had among them %11. Nadaud, a representative of the people, who was not well viewed by the authorities. They were reproached with very strong Socialist ten dencies. In a word, the Government refused them the capital which they lent to other companies. The masons thought they were lost—they were saved! And in fact, they are in existence ; they are prosperous, while the companies which were fostered by the State are for the greater part dead, after pain fully struggling with the difficulties which their defective origin had created. In 1852, after the coup d'etst, the operative masons, having con fidence in themselves, resolved to reorganise their association. They drew up a very wise code of laws, and, possessing no capital, they observed to one another that they had, at all events, their hands, their special knowledge, and that with industry, order, economy, and good will, they might over come all obstacles. They set to work, and resolved that each member of the association should deposit in the common chest the tenth of his daily wages. • This tenth was intended to supply the capital of the joint—lock company. Daring the first year, with all their efforts, and after all the sacrifices they had made, they collected only 3641. Their associat ion at that time consisted of only 17 cpera rives, but all first-rate hands, and determined to succeed. They acted so well, and conducted themselves with so much propriety, that the year following (1858) their capital rose to 4.521 f.. and in 1854 to I 7,000 f. In fine, from year to year, by dint of saving. by courage and perseverance, and thanks, likewise, to the skilful management of their pecu niary affairs and to the anxious solicitude of some persons in a higher sphere who took an interest in the association, the inventory made in the T ear 1860 demonstrated the existence of a capital of . 365,000 f., belonging to 107 associates. During the eight years between 1852 and 1860 the company under took several considerable works. The year 1860 was less fortunate for the association. Emboldened by their success, the associates for a moment de parted from the prudent line they had marked out. for themselves, and they suffered a less of 40,000 f. We would willingly say a fortunate loss. The operates thus learnt to their cost that success in every affair is to be obtained only by excessive vigilance, great precaution, and the ab sence of all wild speculation. Nothwithstanding that loss the capital of the company rose again at the close cf the year 1860 to 365,000 f.—an enormous figure when one considers the trifling sum of 364 f. so pain fully acquired. Each associate being at the same time a labourer and a shareholder, shared the pro fits in each capacity. On every settlement the profits are divided into two unequal parts-60 per cent, is attributed to labour, and 40 per cent, to capital. That is to say, the associates begin by dividing 60 per cent. in proportion to the number of days of labour supplied. Then they divide 40 per cent, in proportion to the amount of capital possessed by each associate. Thus, to explain, let us take the year 1858, which gave a clear profit of 100,000 f. on a capital of 254,0001. ; 60,000 f. were allocated for labour, the associates having supplied 26,729 days' work, for which they were paid, ac cording to custom, every 15 days, and which amounted to 105,250 f. The distribution of the 60,000 f. gave to each of them an addition of 2f. 25c. for each day's work. Let us suppose an operative earning 41. a day in the association, and working 300 days in the year, he will have received 1,2001. for wages. The distribution of the profits, at the rate of 2t. 25c. a day, gives him an additional sum of 6671. 50c. for wages. This is not all. The ope rative who left one-tenth of his daily wages to eon titute a capital for the company became by this fact a shareholder of the company. The portion attributed to capital for the year 1858 having amounted to 40,000 f., the same operative who re ceived an additional sum of 6671. 50c. for wages is likewise to receive a share to of the the v 40,000f.ariuossums he paid ca allocated for in proportion e common chest. The associati o n sap pressesto the undertakers of buildings and all inter mediaries. It contracts directly with the proprie tors of the soil, and realises for itself the profits which others receive for themselves under the old system. The operative, thus become powerful by the fact of the association, offers on his part great advantages to those who will employ him." T.HE MAILS DUE.
