" 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 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.

VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT. of it a slave code, made by a government created by the Congress of the United States, is enforced, so that, accord ing to the claims of those who insist upon their rights in the territory of the United States for slavery, the whole of this 1,063,000 square miles is slave territory. How many slaVe2 :Ire there in it ? How many have been brought into it during these twelve years in which it has been not only relinquished to slavery, but in which the supreme court, the legislature, and the admitintrMion, have maintained, protected, defended, and guaranteed slavery there. Twenty four African slaves One slave for every 4-1,000 square miles. One slave far every one of the twenty-four States which, supposing them each to be of the dimensions of New York, or Pennsylvania, or Indiana. cover that portion of the area of cur republic. Sir, I have followed this thing in good faith, and with zeal and energy, but I con fess that I have no fears of slavetw anywhere. In the peculiar condition of things which has existed, slavery has succeeded in planting only one slave upon every 44,000 square miles of territory. This, then, has ceased to be a practical question. In lieu of It comes up a great and vital, and fearfid question, the question of union or dissolution of the Union; the question of country or of no country ; the question of hope; the question of greatness, or the question of sinking for ever under the contempt of man kind. Why, then, should I despair that a great people of thirty millions will be able to meet this crisis ? I have no fears of this confederacy ; it is not an imperial government or the government of a single state it is a confederacy, and it is, as it ought to be, dependent upon the continued assent of all the members of the confederacy to its existence and subject to dissolutionby their action, but that assent is to be always taken by virtue of the original assent, and held, until in the form prescribed by the constitution itself, and in the time and in the manner, and with all the con ditions which the constitution prescribes, those who consti tute the Union shall declare that it shall be no longer the thirty days and sixty days, and ninety days given us by the disunionists ; it may not be enough for their policy and , their purposes. I hope and trust that it may be time enough for the policy and purposes of the lovers of the Union. God grant that it may be so. But if thirteen shall turn out not to be enough, then I see how and when all these great con troversies will be settied, just as our forefathers saw when they framed the constitution. They provided seventy years ago that this present controversy, the whole controversy shall be submitted to the people of the United States in a convention called according to the forms of the constitu tion, and acting in the manner prescribed by it. Then, sir, this country will find sudden relief in the prompt and unanimous adoption of measures necessary for its salvation, and ;the world will zee how well and how wisely a great enlightened, eductged, Christian people, consisting of thirty-four sovereign states, can adjust difficulties which had seemed even to themselves as well as to mankind to be insurmountable. Mr. Seward was followed by Senator Mason, in a very violent speech, in which he accused the former of advocating coercion. Mr. Seward re sponded, and a somewhat lengthy colloquy ensued ' between the gentlemen. Messrs. Douglas, Hale, Wigfall, and others followed. - - - Part of the Ist Middlesex Light Horse Volunteer Corps made its first public appearance on Thursday, starting, under the command of Lieut. Illa Hock, from the Duke of Wellington's Riding School, Knightsbridge, at half-past 3 o'clock, and passing at a walk along Piccadilly, St. James's-street, Pall mall, and Regent-street, to the Regent's Park; whence they returned at a sharp trot along Baker street, Oxford-street, and Hyde Park, back to the Duke's School, for the liberal use for the purposes of the volunteer movement this corps has to therak his grace. The various corps of volunteer artillery and rifles - Ln and about Woolwich have received invitations from Lord Ranelagh to take part in the sham fight proposed to take place in the vicinity of Brighton on Easter Monday next, for which purpose special meetings of the respective officers commanding battalions and companies are about to be held, so that the availability of his lordship's invitation may be canvassed at large. Permission has been solicited of the Secretary of State for War for the members of the Royal Arsenal Corps to work up the time required for the purpose before and after the usual hours of labour. On Monday last the contest for the individual possession of the rifle won by the Tipton Company from the No. 1 Wolverhampton Company, on the 24th of December last, took place on the practice ground at the Wren's Nest-hill, Tipton. The con test throughout was a very exciting one, from the well-known skill of several of the competitors. There were also two prizes of money, and 24 entered the lists. The distances were 150, 200, 300, and 400 yards—five shots at each range. . The highest scores were H. E. Ward, 30; Edward Shore, 30; Edward Smith, 29; Sergeant White house, 28 ; Major Barrows, 26 ; Sergeant Round, 26 ; J. Smith, 26 ; and W. Roberts, 25. The two first-named members, being equal, were adjudged two shots to decide, when Mr. Shore proved the victor, Mr. Ward gaining the second and Mr. E. Smith the third prize. The 6th Berke, or Forest Rifles, are now rapidly increasing in number, several additions having lately been made by young men residing in the town of Wokingham: In drill the men progress most satisfactorily, under the able tuition of Ser geant Wood and other non-commissioned officers. Three evenings in each week are devoted to drill ing, and there is every probability of the men being ready to begin target practice as soon as the butts are ready. Mr. Walter, M.P., has supported this corps, and it is his intention to erect butts for target practice on his estate. A room for the sergeant, and a store room and armoury, will also be erected for the benefit of the corps. The men are antici pating with interest the commencement of this portion of their military duties. The enrolment of the 11th company of the Berk shire Volunteer Rifle Corps took place on the 12th instant at the Town-hall, Wallingford. The corps numbers 71 members, including officers and band. We are requested to state that it is Captain Flood Page, Adjutant of the City of Edinburgh Volun teers, on leave, who is about to become Acting- Adjutant of the London Scottish. The post of Adjutant .is not vacant. A Washington despatch of Jan. 31 says : There is no longer reason to doubt that a serious rupture has taken place between the President and General Scott, or that the former, for a week past, hat; been nearly as vaci lating and wilful relative to the secession movement as he was before the discovery of Cobb, Floyd, and Thompson's complicity in the disunion cabal. Despite the protestations that no raids against the capital are now contemplated, the general is very anxious on the subject, and feels that there is imminent necessity for a larger Federal force here to maintain the Government. I understand that it is anti cipated that the trouble will ensue immediately after the Virginia election, about to come off. Strong tendencies towards secession were show ing themselves in North Carolina. The bill ad mittting Kansas into the Federal Union had been signed by the President, and the representative of the new State took his seat in the house on the 30th ult. The Pacific Railroad Bill had passed through the Senate by a majority of 34 to 14.

PUGH, Chief Clerk. REFORM DEMONSIRATION IN SOUTHWARK. A very numerously attended public meeting, convened for the purpose " of calling on the Govern ment to bring forward a comprehensive measure of reform without any further delay," was held yes terday evening at the South London' Repository. Mr. JOHN VICKERS, who was called to the chair, in opening the proceedings, referred to the im portance of the question they were about to discuss, and expressed his trust that the proceedings of that night would be conducted in such a manner as would secure the admiration of the country and command the attention of the House of Commons to their just claims. There had been silence upon this question of reform, but it was the silence of dignified repose not to apathy; there had been a patient waiting, arising from confidence in the pro mises of successive Governments, but there had not been any apathy in regard to the question of reform during the last ten years. They wanted a measure introduced into the legislature which would be backed by the opinions of the people, and it was to this end that that meeting was called together. The vote by ballot was a measure which the working classes had a right to demand should for their protec- tion accompany any extension of the s u ff r age to . _ . _ _ them, and it could not be contended that it was a cowardly measure for the working classes to resort to, seeing that it was adopted by gentlemen in high position in electing to their clubs. A settlement of the question of reform was necessary ; the people required a large and comprehensive measure, and they would have it. (Hear, hear.) If they wanted reform he war sorry to say they must agitate, and he advist o a the working classes to show the Govern -I:::,ent and the House of Commons they were no longer to be trifled with, but that they were de- termined to demand the share in the representa tion to which they were fairly entitled. Mr. NEWMAN proposed the first resolution, to the effect," That this meeting regards with sur• prise and indignation the declaration of Lord John Russell, that the people are indifferent to the question of Parliamentary reform, and desires to express a decided opinion that it is the duty of the Government to introduce forthwith a comprehen sive measure for the extension of the franchise, in accordance with their :olemn pledge to do so on taking office. He believed that Lord John Rus sell's declaration was only made with the view of eliciting an expression of public opinion which would induce Parliament to pass a comprehensive measure ; and though Parliament was to blame for not dealing with the question, the people were still more to blame for not bringing their in fluence to bear upon the Legislature to obtain what the required. The press had been writing down reform, and had taken by its arguments half the pluck out of the working men. They wanted or ganisation out of doors, and a few earnest men in the House of Commons united in action, and the Government would then be compelled to give way to some extent to the demands of the people. Mr. JOHN DAY seconded the resolution, and advocated a lodger franchise, without which, he contended, no Reform ;Bill would be regarded by the country as complete and satisfactory. The resolution was carried unanimously amidst loud cheers. Mr. JOHN LOCKE, M.P., then rose to address the meeting, and was received with considerable cheer ing. He said it gave him great pleasure to meet his constituents that night upon this very impor taut question. When he was elected four years ago to represent this borough, the question which principally occupied the minds of the electors was this same question of reform. Reform, Lord John Russell had for the last 15 years made his own question. And it was not to be wondered at that the speech of the noble lord at the opening of the present session was received by the country with very great surprise. In 1859 the bill of the Con servative Government was introduced, and was . welcomed not only by the opponents of reform, but, he was sorry to say, by many of those who professed to be its friends, on the ground that it was a measure quite as good as Lord John Rus sell's. Upon a resolution proposed by the noble lord, however, that measure was rejected, because it did not extend the borough franchise. He (Mr. Locke) on that occasion, advised Mr. Disraeli to adopt that resolution. The whole House of Com mons was agreed that the borough franchise ought to be extended, but the right hon. gentleman did not think fit to adopt it. It was carried, and the Tory Government were driven to dissolve the Par liament. Had the resolution been adopted by the Conservatives its principles would have been intro duced into the bill then before Parliament, and the country would have had a comprehensive measure of reform. (Hear, hear.) The Government of Lord Palmerston acceded to office. It was not to be called a Whig Government, for it comprised amongst its members Mr. Milner Gibson, Mr. Gilpin, and others of Mr. Bright's friends, and a second Reform Bill was brought in. The recep tion of that measure by the House of Commons was, to say the least of it, certainly not such as to induce the Government to introduce another. It might not have embodied all that the people required, but it was a step in the right direction. Nevertheless time was wasted in useless discussion, obstructions were thrown in the way of the passage of the bill until the Government were compelled to withdraw it. Ile now came to the opening of the present session, and the speech of Lord John Russell ; and he quite agreed with the noble lord that the House of Com mons was indifferent to the question of reform, but he could not admit that the people of the country shared the same feeling. They were told that they were to have no Reform Bill from the Government this session, but in the midst of their disappoint ment came a gleam of sunshine in the shape of a bill laid on the table on the previous night by the Rome Secretary, to appropriate the forfeited seats of Sudbury and St. Albans. This was a small con- cession of the principle they desired to see ex tended, and it was for the people of Southwark to strengthen their representatives to fight this battle of reform, and if other constituencies would only act with them, in this, they must ultimately suc- teed. (Cheers.) Mr• L AYARD, M,P., who was received with vociferous cheering, said the Government, through Lord John Russell, had invited the Liberal mem - - bers of this country to hold indignation meetings. (Cheers and laughter.) It had been the good for- tune of Southwark to respond first to the invita tion, but he confessed that be had seen very little of indignation here, and he should rather call it a con tempt meeting. He supposed they had come there that evening, not merely to mike and listen to vapouring speeches and to draw up and pass unani mously vapouring resolutions, but to do business— to make the Government understand what they wanted and how they wanted it. He was elected to represent that borough dieily through the exer tions of the working men—(cheers)—and he was not afraid to lower the franchise in boroughs. They were called upon to hold indignation meetings. What was meant by that P Were they to re peat the scenes of 1831 and 1832 ? Were they to burn houses and sack peaceable dwellings ? If that was meant, there would be disappoint- meat ; and if they were to wait for a Reform Bill till such indignation meetings were held, they would have to wait for many and many a long year. Because there were no indignation meetings, and because they had not the scenes of 1831 and 1832, the working classes showed them- selves entitled to the; franchise. He yielded to no man in the desire he bad to see the working man admitted to the franchise. An unscrupulous press, or part of the press he would rather say, opposed as it was to the liberties of the great mass of the people accused him of recklessly giving pledges when he was returned for that borough. He never gave pledges, nor were any pledges asked from him. They knew his opinions, and if he were base enough to desert those opinions he should not be less scrupulous in keeping a pledge, ne was setit to Parliament because the constituency of Southwark had confidence in his convictions, and thought he would maintain in the House of Commons the principles enunciated upon the hustings. (near, hear.) Let him then speak boldly, and tell them what he thought upon this question. The Govern- ment was scarcely to be blamed in this matter. Did any one suppose that this Government would have given them a reform bill ? There might be some of its members in favour of reform, but did any one suspect the others of being reformers ? It was known that they would not give a reform bill if they could help it, and small blame to them, for there were many of the members of the present Government who would not be long there if a reform bill were passed. It was the Liberal party and the constituencies who were to blame. If the Liberal party would only be true to themselves, and if the constituencies sent men to Parliament properly to represent their views, they might have a reform bill, but not else. At the last general election he stood against a Conservative, and as to the statement that the country was indifferent to the question, there was not a single candidate, Whig or Conservative, Tory or radical, who did not profess at least that he was in favour of reform. At that election he found himself upon the hustings, a conservative bidding against him for a reduction of the franchise, a sort of Dutch auction —(laughter)---and as one of the papers described it, they had got. down so low that the Conservative offered no qualification, and he (Mr. Layard) went even lower than that. (Renewed laughter.) The bill of last session had been referred to. There were mistakes in that bill, and no doubt it was not a perfect measure, but it had the sanction of a man, of whom he would venture to say that no other man in the country had his knowledge of what were the wants of the people, and what should be done to supply those wants—he meant John Bright. (Great cheering.) John Bright was of opinion, and rightly, that if Parliament had passed that bill, imperfect as it was, it would have improved the electoral list, and a Parliament would have been returned which would in all probability have passed such a measure as would satisfy the country. If a better bill could have been passed he would have been glad to see it, but he felt, as O'Connell felt after years of bitter experience, that it was well to " Ask for all you can, and take all you can get." (Cheers and laughter.) post. He was not there as the censor of Parliament, bill he would say that there were members representing constituencies not 100 miles from Southwark who, had they chosen heartily to support that bill, could have carried it. (Cheers.) Would any one then believe, after what passed last session, that the pre sent Government would bring in a reform bill ? Any one who had entertained that opinion must be an idiot. When the Queen's Speech was debated there were only found 48 men in the House of Commons to vote in favour of reform. (Cries of " Shame.") He was for a reform bill upon broad and compre hensive principles ; but could they get such a mea sure ? He believed not. But a bill was brought in on Thursday night which would give them four more seats. He took these four seats, and he would undertake to say that Chelsea and Kensington, South Lancashire, North Yorkshire, and Birken head would, if not deluded, send men who were true reformers to the house, and instead of forty eight there would be fifty-two of them ; and thus they might go on increasing their strength one by one till they could command a majority in the House of Commons to pass a bill. Ho would rather see anything happen than that a Tory Government should again come into power. When he found Mr. Disraeli and Lord Derby condemning the Italian people, denouncing that great hero who fought the battles of his country, and then retired to his plough without a shilling in his pocket, as a villain who ought to be hung, and expressing sympathy with Austria, he could not support these men or help them in any way to power. (Cheers.) But setting aside sympathy with the cause of Italy, and taking the general political principles of Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli, he should regard their return to office as one of the greatest misfortunes that could happen to the country, and the people might depend upon it that, were they again called into power, war and increased taxation would serve to set aside any idea that might be entertained of passing a measure of reform. As long as the liberal party was divided and without a leader, so long would they have no reform bill, but let them choose a leader, Mr. Bright if they would—(cheers) —and if they were only true to each other and to their leader, and placed confi dence in the people, the liberal party would go on increasing in strength, till ultimately it would carry a reform bill. (Cheers.) Therefore, he said, let the liberal party be true to itself, and let the country be true to itself, and before long they would have a reform bill that would satisfy the wants of the people, and enable them to send men to Parliament who would look properly after their interests. Tho most important obstacle to this was the expense of elections. He wanted to see Parliament open to every class, but to obtain that result they must send men into Parliament who would work to reduce the election expenses, and not send in sham Liberals; and when they did this, and not till then, they would have a Reform Bill. Mr. WASHINGTON WILKS next addressed the meeting, expressing his surprise and disappoint ment that no measure of reform was to be brought in by the present Government, and that Lord John Russell had betrayed the confidence the country reposed in him. He objected to point by point legislation ; and taking the unsatisfactory appro priation of the four seats of Sudbury and St. Albans as an instance of this kind of legislation, he said the Government might for him keep such measures. He moved a resolution approving of a petition to Parliament in furtherance of the objects of the meeting. Mr. SARELL seconded the resolution. Mr. FAWCETT, who was loudly cheered, then briefly addressed the meeting. He dismissed the historical, part of the question as well known and uninteresting, and directed his remarks to the practical point, how were the views of the people upon the question of reform to be carried out P He could not expect that the Liberal party would for the future be more true to their colours than they had been hitherto, and he did not think that any legislation upon this important subject could be expected until after another dissolution. What had tended to destroy the efficiency of our present electoral system, and had been an obstacle in the way of the passing of a Reform Bill, had been the weight of election expenses, to check which some step must be taken before the people could be pro perly represented. The resolution was carried. A vote of thanks was, upon the motion of Mr. DAY, accorded to the chairman, and the meeting then separated. TEE UNI7ED STATES. We have received New York papers of January 31 and February 1. A telegraphic summary of their intelligence appeared in our paper yesterday. The United States ship of war Brooklyn had _ been despatched to land supplies at Fort Pickens, Pensacola. The captain's orders were, that after doing this he should remain off the harbour and watch the movements of the volunteer troops in possession of the Navy-yard and other points, Should he perceive any inditation of an intention to make an attack on Fort Pickens, he was to take all needful measures to aid in the defence of the At the latest date it was believed at New York :hat a collision at Pensacola had been avoided. On January 31st General Scott was before the Special House Committee appointed to investigate the matter of the threatened attack upon the capi- tal. He testified that, although there was no posi tive information of any conspiracy for that pur pose, there was sufficient knowledge in possession of the Government to warrant the precautionary steps which had been taken. The representatives of Bremen, Great Britain, and Spain respectively have addressed communi cations to the State department relative to the con dition of affairs at Charleston, S.C., as regards the customs and Federal Courts, asking what the course of the Government will be in certain con- :ingencies. The following despatch, dated Washington, Jan. 31, gives a summary of the negotiations that had taken place on this subject : Lord Lyons, December 31, acquaints Secretary Black that he has received a letter from the British consul at Charleston, in which it is stated that South Carolina has passed an ordinance declaring, in effect, that the custom- houses of the United States in South Carolina are con-, verted into custom-houses of that State; and the revenue laws adopted show how the duties are to be collected on the account of that State. The consul calls attention to several practical difficulties connected with the entry and clearance of British vessels, which may arrive at any mo ment. Lord Lyons requests the:Government to furnish him without delay such information respecting its wishes and intentions as may enable him to give definite instructions to the consul, and to remove any apprehension which may exist that the abolition of the de facto United. States cus tom-houses will be allowed to subject British vessels for commerce to loss, injury, or inconvenience. The Secretary is informed by Lord Lyons that the South Carolina authorities have removed the buoys, withdrawn the light ship, &c., and requests that the lights and beacons be replaced, or some means adopted to warn vessels of their danger, and, in conclusion, desires such information as will allay the anxiety of British subjects. Mr. Tassar", the Spanish Minister, Dec. 31, calls Secre- tary Black's attention to a letter from the Spanish consul at Charleston, relative to the customs matter at that city. Among the documents is a letter from Judge Magrath, dated Executive Department, saying the activity of the pilots will prevent any serious injury or inconvenience to commerce. On the 30th inst. Secretary Floyd replied to Lord Lyons, _ _ and sent a copy of his letter to Messrs. Schleiden and Tas sara. He said he laid Lord Lyon's communication before the President, who would deeply regret that any injury should happen to the commerce of foreign or friendly nations, and especially that the British subjects at Charles ton should suffer by the anomalous state of things existing there. Secretary Black quotes from the law to show that the jurisdiction of the Federal Government to impose duties on goods imported into the United States and collect the duties is exclusive. Whether the state of things now existing at Charleston will or will not be regarded as a sufficient reason for not executing the penalties incurred by the British subjects, is a question Lord Lyons will see no necessity for raising until it practically arises. Each case will no doubt have its peculiarities. Secretary Black regrets that this consideration compels him to decline giving any assurances on the point presented. Tho Treasury Depart ment, he says, will give public information as to the condi tion in which South Carolina has put the coast. A volunteer battalion for the defence of the Federal Government was being organised in New York. On the 31st ult. Mr. Seward gave another ex. pression to his views in regard to the condition of the country, on the occasion of the presentation by him to the Senate of the monster petition from the citizens of New York, praying for some adjustment of the present difficulties. The petition is signed by 63,000 persons, and would, Air. Seward stated, reach three times across the Senate Chamber. Mr. Seward said : A great many and various interests and elements are brought into conflict in this sudden crisis—a great many personal ambitions, and a great many sectional interests— and it would be strange if they would all be accommodated, arranged, and harmonised so as to admit and give full effect to the ono profoundest and most enuring sentiment or passion of the United States, that of devotion to the Union. These, whether you call them secession or revolution on the ono side, or coercion or defiance on the other, are all to sub side and pass away before Union, which is to become the grand absorbing object of interest, affection, and duty upon the part of the citimens of the United States. A great many partisan interests are to be repressed and suppressed to give place to the partisan interests expressed by the Charleston platform, the Baltimore platform, the Chicago platform, by the Poplar Sovereignty platform, if indeed the Union is in danger and is to be saved. With these interests and these platforms, everybody standing upon them or connected with them, is to pass away if the Union is in danger and is to be saved. But it will require a yery short time if this Union is in danger and does require to be saved for all these inte rests, all these platforms, and all these men to disappear. You, e'rerybody, who shall oppose, resist, or stand in tho way of the preservation of this Union, will appear as moths on a summer's eve, when the whirlwind of popular indigna tion arises that shall be excited at the full discovery that this Union is endangered through faction and even imprac ticability on the one part. I have hope and confidence that this is to come around just as I have said, and quite soot enough, because I perceive, although we may shut our eyes to it, that the country and mankind cannot shut their eyes to the true nature of this crisis. There has been a real, a vital question in this country for twelve years at least—a question of slavery in the territories of the United States. It was strongest in its development in 1850, when all the Pacific coast and all the territory intervening between it and the Louisiana purchase was thrown upon our hands all of a sudden, for the purpose of our organising in them free and independent republican government as a basis of future states, and it has been an earnest, and I regret to say, an angry controversy; but the admission of Kansas into the Union yesterday settled at least all that was vital or important in the question, leaving behind nothing but the passions which the contest had engendered. Kansas is in the Union. California and Oregon are in the Union, and now the same contest divides and distracts this union for freedom and slavery in the territories of the United States, just as before. What is the extent of the territories which remain after the admission of Minesota, Oregon, and Kansas ? One million sixth three thousand and five hun dred square miles—an area twenty-four times that of the state of New York, the largest of the old and fully developed States Twenty-four such States as this of Nov York are yet to be fully organised within th e remaining territories of the United States. Now, under what is a ccepted by the administration and the gove rnment as a judicial decree, upheld by it, and put in practical operation by it, every inch of that territory is slave territory. I speak of that decision not as I accept it, but as it is accepted and enforced by the ' existing administration. Every foot of it is slave territory Aas much as South Carolina, Over a considerable portion TEE CONVICT REVOLT AT CHATHAM. CHATHAM, Friday.—The rigorous measures adopted by Sir J. Jebb to suppress the revolt among the convicts of St Mary's Prison, and the severe and prompt punishment inflicted on those men who were proved to have taken a leading part in the terrible scenes of riot which recently occurred at that establishment, have had the effect of restoring comparative order and subordination within the prison walls, nothing approaching the least disturb ance having occurred among the prisoners durinr , the last three days to lead the authorities at the prison to fear a repetition of the outbreak. Ever since the military were called in on Monday after noon, to put down the mutiny, a strong body of troops from the garrison have been kept on duty within the prison day and night, the soldiers se lected for the duty being relieved at the proper times, similar to the other guards of the garrison. From the fact of there being only about 150 convict keepers employed at the establishment to guard upwards of 1,100 prisoners, and recent events hav ing clearly shown that on the occasion of any sud den uprising of the convicts this small number of warders are quite at the mercy of the infuriated ruffians, there is no doubt that a body of troops will for the future be regularly quartered at the prison, or at all events will be stationed there until every symptom of mutiny has entirely disappeared. It now seems to be almost a providential circumstance that the troops of the garrison were all at their quarters at the time of the outbreak, and not absent brigading, in which latter case considerable time must of necessity have been lost before they could have been marched to the prison, by which period the convicts would have succeeded in escaping from the prison, when the probable sacrifice of life And property would have been appalling, as there is no doubt that 1,100 convicts loose would have com pletely sacked Chatham and Brompton. Since the revolt on Monday the whole of the convicts, with the exception of about 150, have been kept confined to their cells and supplied with nothing but bread and water. A certain number are allowed to take exercise at stated intervals in the prison yard, under the strict guard of the keepers. Only a small number have been per mitted to attend the daily prayers in the prison chapel, and those are men of generally good cha racter, who refrained from taking any part in the late mutiny. Up to Wednesday evening 48 pri soners had been severely flogged, and the punish ment inflicted on them is described by those whose duty compelled them to be witnesses of the sicken ing spectacle, as being of the severest character, the strongest farriers from the Royal Engineer Train, and drummers from the various corps in garrison having been purposely selected to admi nister the punishment, for which each of the men engags'd will receive ss. Contrary to the practice always observed in the army, where after a soldier has received corporal punishment, he is imme diately conveyed to the military hospital for treat ment, each convict after receiving his punishment had his clothes thrown over him, and he was then marched to his cell, which -he was not allowed to leave again. No floggings took place at the pri son yesterday, but there are still 7 - 6 of the convicts in irons and securely chained, with a strong guard over them, waiting the decision of Sir Joshua Jebb and Capt. Gambier as to the amount of punishment to be inflicted on them. For the first time since the revolt a portion of the convicts, to the number of about 150, resumed work yesterday in the dock yards and on St. Mary's Island , and comh_tc otw. themselves with great decorum.

At an early hour this morning a convict named nudge, who is under sentence of four years' penal servitude, attempted to commit suicide by hanging himself to the ventilator in the ceiling of his cell, by means of his handkerchief. He was, however, discovered by one of the keepers before life was quite extinct, and on being cut down, and the usual remedies applied, he was restored to consciousness.

A letter, dated Valetta, Feb. 9, says—" Her Majesty's gunboat Assurance, Commander Aynsley, left this afternoon for Corfu, with a mail. At the last advices from Corfu to the 4fh inst., brought by the Foxhound, there were only two line-of battle ships there—the Marlborough, bearing the flag of Vice-Admiral Martin, the Commander-in- Chief, and the Mars. The London was at Patras, and the Neptune at Athens. No men-of-war are expected at Malta from those waters for the pre sent, but the liners Renown and Caesar, now here, are under orders to proceed to Corfu as soon as they are out of the dockyard. Her Majesty's gunboat Quail is still undergoing repairs in dock. " Another naval court-martial, the third that has been held here lately, assembled on Friday last, on board her Majesty's ship Hibernia, to try Mr. James Ernest Brudenell Bruce, mate on board her Ma jesty's ship Exmouth, Captain J. Paynter. The Court sentenced Mr. J. E. B. Bruce to be dismissed his ship, and to lose two years' midshipman's time." Her Majesty's ship Trident, which sailed from Woolwich on Wednesday last for Sheerness, strsck against the mooring buoy at Greenhithe and damaged one of ber paddle-wheels, so as to compel her to return to Woolwichfor repairs. The new fortifications for the defence of the dockyard at Pater and Milford Haven will now be carried on with the utmost vigour. A circle of defences has been planned out, which, when com pleted, will perfectly surround the dockyard at suitable distance, and also be capable of rendering mutual support and assistance. The various places on the coast where a landing might be effected are also to be properly protected. In the Haven, forts ure to be completed at Popton Point, South Hook Point, the late signal station, together with the enlargement and almost rebuilding of the battery on the South Stack Rock, in the centre of the Haven. The battery at Popton Point, near Mil ford, will be most commanding, both in armament and position, and will be named the Cambridge Battery. The Stack Rock fort is situated in the centre of the Channel, and is to be made very for midable instead of a mere three-gun battery, as heretofore. The new works on the south shore and the one at Scoverston on the north, including the cost of the land, are estimated at £220,000. The fortification to be erected to Bulwell on the south side is to cost £lOO,OOO. The present defences con sist of the Blockhouse Point Battery, mounting six 68's; the Dale Point Battery, with seven 68's and two 32's ; and Thorn Island Fort, mounting nine 68's and the fort at the western extremity of the dockyard. These defences, with those now in course of erection, will render it impossible for an enemy to reach the dockyard by water without running the gauntlet of a very heavy cross-fire. Lieut. Henry Rogers has been appointed to her Majesty's ship Southampton, 50. THE ARMY. Major-General Sir Richard Dacres yesterday re ceived instructions at Woolwich to hold in readi ness the 10th battery 4th brigade Field Artillery, to proceed to Hillsea Barracks, to be relieved by No. 2 battery, 9th Brigade, from Ballincolig.
