The oxen, the bacon, the butter, cheese, &c:, are all pouring in, in rapidly-increasing quantities. Yet these foreign supplies do not seem to depress undesirably the products of British industry ; fcir provisions, though-not very high in prior, owe by no means remarkably cheap. We observed that on the last market 7 day, although 10,000 sheep had been imported, the price of mutton rose as much as from about 2(1. to 4d. per stone. The truth seems to be, that since our ports were first opened to 'foreign provisions, in 1842, about 4,000,000 Of people have been added to our popula tion, while our cultivated lands' haveitot been ip creased to any considerable degree.

Bad as it was, things might very easily have been worse. The Chamber of Commerce at Rouen were so much de pressed by the magnitude .of the. danger that they deputed a number of merchants toassist in the valua tion of the imports. The,precaution was unneces sary, for the amount imported proved to be exceede ingly moderate. We believe that the same thing is true of the other places of importation; but though the quantity of English goods brought into France has hitherto, from some cause or other, been exceed ingly moderate, it is equally certain that the mar kets of Paris have been supplied to overflowing with English goods at very low prices, and of very inferior descriptions. How are we to expound this riddle? Has there been some gigantic fraud at one of the French Custom-houses, or has there been found some means of smuggling somewhere on the coast between the ports where import is allowed P The mystery is cleared up in another manner—in a manner certainly more creditable to the ingenuity than to the honesty of some of our neighboues. There are different parts of Paris where articles of different manufactures are sold. Thus, goods from Mulhouse are sold in the Rue du Sentier, Roubaix goods in. the Place des Victoires, and Rouen goods in the Rue St. Martin. These ingenious persons per ceived that the French public would naturally look for a large importation of English goods, and would expect them to be sold exceedingly cheap. They proved themselves fully equal to the occasion. Instead of providing themselves with English goods, they reflected that they had on hand large quantities of old stock quite unsaleable under ordi nary circumstances. These faithful friends of the shop were touched up to look like English goods, received high-sounding names out of the English Dictionary, and were purchased in great quantities by retail dealers requiring English goods at prices highly remunerative to the sellers. The buyers also were probably satisfied for the moment, though, as the Nourelliste of Rouen truly observes, disenchant ment is sure to come in time. 'We should think it would. The man who pays for sherry and gets Cape for his money, who pays fir a young horse and gets an old one, has seldom reason to be satis fied with the transaction ; and the man who bar gains for new English goods and is put off with old French ones has no reason to be better pleased. By this ingenious device the shopkeepers in question have not only filled their pockets, as might be done by any other fraud, but they have, they hope, corn pletely discredited English goods in the French retail market; Many of the persons who have been thus imposed upon, it is believed, and very reasonably, will never know the fraud of which they have been made the victims. The goods will have got a bad name, and, as it is not possible just now to tear the Treaty of Commerce in pieces with can non balls according to the prescription of M. Dupin, as they cannot either beat or kill the English ma nufacturers, they deem themselves very fortunate that they hare been able to conciliate a considerable amount of private gain with the darling object of discrediting the manufactures of England. Our Rouen contemporary, the Nourelliste, which is evi dently thoroughly imbued with the spirit of protec tion, seizes upon this not very creditable event in order to read a lesson to the French puolic. The ad vice which the Rouen paper gives to French buyers is to lay aside their senseless desire for English pro duce, and this advice is strengthened by the follow ing statement :—" Our advice is worthy to be fol lowed, and the best proof that we aan give of it is the assurance that several manufacturers in our town are taking advantage, for the present at least, of this disposition of buyers, to dispose of all the rejected articles thrown aside in the corners of their warehouses,after having dressed them up and given them high-sounding titles, borrowed from the Eng lish Dictionary." The argument of the Rouen paper is briefly this— " Put aside your senseless desire for English goods, and buy old French goods at old French prices, as heretofore, because if you order English goods you. will not get them, but French goods of an inferior quality, tricked out to look like English goods by the rascals with whom you deal, and sold at a prico which, however low, is infinitely too high for their value." Such the practice of the shopkeepers of Paris. Such,.on the authority of a Rouen journal, is the morality of ,the principal manufacturers of Rouen. Now this would be exceedingly good advice if it was absolutely necessary for the French con sumer to rely exclusively on such agency as that de scribed in the Rouen journal. But it seems almost too ridiculous, even for a protectionist driven to des peration, to argue that the French consumer must give up all hopes of the goods of England because his agents will not permit him to receive them. He may reasonably claim to have a voice in the matter. If we might venture to offer our advice to the French retail dealers, we should say,—" My friends, you have been cheated, but not by us; eschew hence forth the Rue de Sentier, avoid like a pestilence the Place des Victoires, and hold no communion with the Rue St. Martin ; distrust Rouen, its manufacturers, and • its protectionist jour nals; find, if you can, some honest im porter, who will give you truly the goods for which you pay him, and will not seek to wean you from the 'senseless desire' of buying English goods by selling you French trash and filling his pockets at your expense, and whenever you buy English goods insistupon seeing the invoice." It might be worth the consideration of respectable English houses whether it would not be worth while, in considera tion of the very peculiar code of ethics which is applied to the importation of English goods into France, to establish agencies of their own, and to take measures for exposing more in detail the frauds under which they suffer. The thing will sooner or later work itself right, but better sooner than later. Thus the supply of our great towns with eggs, rabbits, and fruit is either wholly, or in a great measure, left to the little farmers of Normandy, Brittany, Belgium, and Holland. If it were rot for these sources of supply, eggs and rabbits and fowls would be very expensive luxuries in England. Yet we have often wondered that in some of the villages within reach of London the experiment of producing eggs on a large scale has not been tried. An " egg-grower." having his own ware houses and shops in London, and his poultry-yard in Kent or Hertfordshire, must have some advan tages over a Belgian grower, who must deal with a merchant at Ostend, which merchant has to pack up and send the eggs per ship to London, where another merchant receives them and carries them to market. Here is the profit of two factors, the shipmaster's charges, and the risk of breakage and loss by spoiling, all to be saved by a grower who takes his own eggs from his own yard in Kent to his own shop in Leadenhall-market. Surely a living profit might be made by any prudent mana ger out of such a trade. The remark which we have often made here comes again to mind. How little able to predict were the Protectionists and Free-traders of 1842 and 1846! Both felt sure that the import of foreign corn, meat, fruit, 8.7. c. would greatly lower prices in the English market, and save the consumers' pockets. The Free-traders rejoiced in this belief; the farmers looked to the future with alarm. Yet we have had, within the last two or three years, enormous importations, and yet no cheap bread. The fears of the Protectionists and the hopes and promises of the Free-traders have both been shown to have been groundless. A similar instance of human fallibility has oc curred in the kindred question of the increased supply of the precious m Aals. M. Chevailier, in France, and Mr. Cobden, in England, have been in sisting, for three years past, on the certainty of a great derangement of prices and values, in consequence of the new and large supplies of gold from Austra. lia and California. Nor have they been singular in these expectations. We remember that, when, in 1852, the effect of these supplies began to be felt, an impression prevailed among capitalists that "money would never be worth 2 per cent. again." One of our lead ing railway companies was offered at that time a million of money at 21 per cent. for seven years, and it scornfully rejected the offer. On that day five years the same company would have been rejoiced to have been able to borrow , a million at 5 per cent. And we have seen the Bank a England, fora short period, obliged to charge 10 per cent. for the dis count of bills. The truth is, that man remains a fallible being, and that no amount of sagacity, foresight, or expe rience, can enable him to foretell " what shall be on the morrow." In 1851 we held, at the Great Exhi bition in Hyde-park, a sort of friendly Congress of Nations, and there were not wanting those who predicted that we had seen the last of European wars. It was less than two years from that time, when finding his friend Lord Aberdeen in power, the Emperor Nicholas ventered on that fatal ad vance which soon placed fournations in battle array before Sebastopol. No sooner had we escaped from that conflict than our dominion in the East was en dangered, and a few thousands of Englishmen had to fight to save themselves from massacre, in the cities of Hindostan. Then came open war between France and Austria—next, a warning that England herself, to be safe, ought to prepared—and lastly, we behold at this moment at least 500,000 men in arms on the banks of the Potomac and the Missis sippi. A tolerably stirring period of ten years has this been, considering that many orators foretold, in 1851, that the leopard was about to lie down with the lamb, and the wolf to gambol with the kid. Men will hardly predict, when, in May next, the second " Great Exhibition" shall open, that no more war will shake and harass Europe. They have had a lesson which may teach them to avoid anything like a prophecy ; and especially all prophecies of peace. We ourselves are not going to fall intosuch an error: We shall not venture to say that, in May next the world will shake with a dozen conflicts, and yet there are many things more unlikely. This, however, all men can see to be im probable — that the Ist of May, 1862, should dawn, like the Ist of May, 1851, upon a world at peace . The Great ra G s r e e v a c tD l u o k f e th i e s gon e, of whom it migh t be said, as great captains in the Book cf Judges, now t,haast we have time, "the land had re s t fort y years."

But the Indian conflict wrought out great things. It made India really English ; it established a power in Hindostan where there had been previously only an occupation. And the war of 1859.60 raised Italy to the rank of a nation ; and reduced the Papacy to a bishopric. As to the war in America, we cling to the hope that it will not cease until it has wrought the downfall of slavery ; and then the contending parties have our free leave to terminate their quarrel in any way which to them shall seem fit.—Advertiser.

Captain John Burnaby, on the night before the death of the deceased, had been in company with him. He then complained of wind on the stomach, and said he should take a black draught as a remedy. Mrs. Baker, the wife of the deceased, said that after going to bed her husband asked her to go to the safe and fetch him a bottle containing medicine. As soon as ho had drunk some of it he said. " My dear, I have taken aqua fortis." He called for mustard and water which, he got and drank. He then fell on the floor, while his wile called in the police. Dr. Black atd Dr. Grey arrived shortly after wards, but they had not beeti long in the house when the unfortunate man died. The post mortem examination of the body showed that the deceased had suffered from a salons internal complaint. The poison which he had swallowed was found to be a weak solution of cyanide of potassium. The jury returned a verdict of "Death from taking poison by mistake." THE REGENERATING LOZENGE..--Medied science has brought to light a new and successful mode of administering remedies for spermatic regeneration, contained in a simple lozenge, known in tropical climates and throughout the world as THE TRIESMAR. The therapeutic properties of the re generating lozenge promote those albuminous and fibrinous secretions, which have the well-known power of at ence re producing and enriching the fecundating fluid, when dete riorated from its natural consistency. In cases where ex cesses have been blindly yielded to, from almost uncontroll able impulse, a single course of this invaluable medicine will at once restore the ebbing powers, and re-energise the whole of the muscular and nervous system ; there is no stage, bow ever advanced, but immediate relief will be experienced. in suring health and manly vigour to the debilitated and t. e t i t c t - , hausted.

The whole of the powder, shell, shot, and guns have now been removed from the Chesapeake, 51, screw frigate, Capt. Maguire, from the East Indies and China, the remainder of the shot, guns, and stores having been landed at the Ordnance-wharf, Chatham, yesterday, from the transport Marl borough. The Chesapeake will be put out of com mission and paid off to-morrow. Admiralty orders were yesterday received at Chat ham Dockyard directing that those shipwright ap prentices in their fifth year, who have 'fade satisfac tory progress in the knowledge of Weir trade, as well as in their acquirements at the dockyard school are to be allowed to attend on two evenings in each week, at the dockyard, for the purpose of being taught navaldrawing. The instruction is to be given by the principal draughtsman in the mould loft, or some other equally competent officer, who will be paid for the additional duty. The instructor is to be held responsible for the regular attendance of the students and the. maintenance of discipline. Engi neer lads, whose conduct has been good, may, upon recommendation, have the privilege of being em ployed three or four months in the factory drawing office. The engineer lads employed at the steam factory, Keyham, may attend the Government School of Design, at Devonport, the payment of the fees being made by the Admiralty. As No. 1 dock in this yard cannot at present and for some time to come be used for the accommoda tion of a vessel, as it is undergoing enlargement by the Government contractors, Messrs. Foord and Co., by being considerably lengthened at the entrance, it is intended to use the space occupied by the dock in the building of the Achilles, and with that object the dock is being floored over at the level of the ground, and this floor will be used for laying out or temporarily fitting together the vast sections of the new iron armour-plated ship, so that any alterations found necessary may be made before the materials are finally lowered into the dock for use. The Thames, War Department transport, landed at Chatham yesterday a number of cast-iron guns and stores for the various ships fitting at that port. After which she shipped a number of guns for Wool wich. The following appointments have been made at the Admiralty ; Lieut. E. Rice, to the Hero ; C. R. Harris, midshipman, to the Sanspareil ; John T. U. Bremner, surgeon superintendent to the Lord Dal housie, convict ship ; L. J. Monteith, surgeon to the Aboukir ; W. Filcher, chief engineer to the Asia, for the Vulture, promoted; J. Langlands, engineer in the Fisgard, as supernumerary, confirmed; F. J. Taplin, engineer in the Indus, as supernumerary, confirmed; C. F. Jordan, engineer in the Cumber land for the Bullfrog, confirmed; H. R. Garr, en. gineer in the Indus as supernumerary, confirmed ; A.

Smith, clerk, to the Conqueror. or officer conducting the practice should before a shot is fired, clearly and thoroughly explain to the squad at practice, and to each individual employed in preparing the fuses, that this short boring of the fuse is adopted with a view to enable the result to, be recorded, and, at the same time, point out to them the difference of shell practice at resisting objects and that which is intended to scatter and destroy troops. The artilleryman, when instructed, should be prepared to bore his fuse as ordered, and if due care is taken by instructors and officers in command to make non-commissioned officers and men understand what they are doing, and the rea son why it is done, no erroneous impressions need result from the measures taken. The artilleryman should, however, be made to understand that for actual service it is always desirable to adjust the fuses of common shells so that they may act on the object aimed at—where fixed and offering resistance—first, as shot, and then on bursting, as mines. In the reports of practice for the present year great care is to be taken to distinguish the old from the new pattern diaphragm, and these again, from the improved shrapnel' shells. Duplicate reports are occasionally received, notwith standing the order directing the discontinuance of the custom. These lead to confusion in ascertaining the number of rounds fired. In order that an uniform mode of recording the result of the practice with Armstrong guns may be adopted it is directed that whenever it is practicable a target be provided for every two guns practising at the same time; the ranges of the shot will be measured on a line passing through the centre of the target, and through the centre of the interval between the guns ; the deflection right or left of atis line will be measured in feet. The terms "under" and " over" will apply to the distance in yards that the shot , have fallen "short of" or "beyond" the target. Should there be a butt beyond the target, by which the shot are stopped, the term "over" is to be used to denote the height of the trajectory of the shot above the edge of the target. In the case of the range admit ting of the target being placed 100 yards in front of the butt, a note to that effect in the report .must show this circumstance, and " over" would then have its ordinary meaning of. the distance, on the plane, beyond the target. Col. Harness, C. 8., director of the Royal Engi neer establishment, Chatham, has received orders to select a number of the best mechanics and artificers from the companies at head quarters, to proceed to Halifax, Nova Scotia, to join the 7th company, which is considerably below its required strength. The sth company of -Royal Engineers, which is ordered to rejoin head-quarters, Brompton Barracks, from Woolwich, is to be held in readiness to em bark for foreign service, and for that purpose will be raised to 100 men of all ranks. We have to announce the death of Major J. W. Pringle, which took place on Saturday last, in his 70th year. The deceased entered the army in 1809, and served with the Royal Engineers in the Penin sula from 1810 to the end of the war in 1814. He took part in the battles of Nive and Neville, where he was wounded. He was present at the investment of Bayonne. He served also during the campaign of 1815, and was severely wounded at Waterloo. In recognition of his services the deceased had received the war medal with three clasps.

These are things which are said sometimes to oneself, but which well-bred men, as Voltaire says, avoid saying to one's face through politeness in a democracy, hoWever puerile or honourable.

Life is a duty of honour to me; it is a resolution on my part . . . . have undertaken, and I am pursuing for others more than myself, a great operation, very dear, very long, and very painful, in order to de part honourably from this amiable life ; it is the complete edition of my works in 40 volumes, pub. lished by subscription.

Per sons who might ba tempted to subscribe on the faith of my longevity will say to themselves on reading that I have caused uneasiness to my friends.

Living or dead they should be faithfully served—they would not even perceive my disappearance from the the earth.. The 40 volumes are concluded, with the exception of four volumes of my political memoirs, and in case I should depart without noise, without having finished the last sheet for the printer, my heirs have the means of replacing these four volumes by six volumes of my literary conversation, all com plete, all ready, all printed, and not compromised.

I am compelled to enjoy good health by nature and by my printers, and I take advantage of it.—Accept, M. le Redac teur, the assurance of my full consiaeration and of my thanks in anticipation. "A. DE LAMARTINE." THE NEW PRIVY COUNCIL MINUTE ON EDUCATION. (From the Journal of Gas Lighting, Water Supply, and Sanitary Improvement.) The Minutes of the Committee of the Privy Council on Education are exciting the sensation and the opposition to be expected whenever a money interest is touched. The Minutes propose a reform, and no reform was ever effected without pinching the pockets of those who have profited by the evils to be excised. The fact that the proposed Minutes will cut off the prospects of many pupil teachers, and impair the present and future income of many certificated schoolmasters, who have been cramming themselves in order to pass the ordeals enacted by the Minutes about to be superseded, cannot and ought not to be evaded ; but the change is not a whit the less needful, because it is hard on the army of schoolmasters, The fact is that we have, for a series of years, left the management of what we will call Parliamentary education—for Parliament pays for it—to the only people who were enthu siastic about it—the doctrinaires—the good people of Sir Kaye Shuttleworth's school, who honestly believed that it was a national duty to cram paupers and little smock-frocked bumpkins with as much literature and science as possible, without regard to their ege or their future probable pursuits. These enthusiasts did not look on the national system of education as a means of making good ploughmen, blacksmiths, soldiers or sailors, neat, obedient dairy maids, or handy servants; but of developing th e brains of occasional prodigies. They made a race of edu cation, in which the winners were applauded and intoxicated with praise, and the losers neglected. The whole tendency of the system was to induce schoolmasters and mistresses to concentrate their efforts on their cleverest pupils. The teacher's payment, reputation, and promotion did not depend on the general proficiency of the school, but on pro ducing a few bright particular stars, to remain in the first class long past the age at which the hard handed class usually go into the world to get their living. The result was, a crowd of little parrots, learning phrases by rote, and thus astonishing casual visitors ; but unable to read, much less to write or cypher, in a useful manner. If any objec tion was raised to this system of forcing and " starring," it was set down to an ignorant aristo cratic prejudice against the laboming classes; and a list of illustrious men who, self-educated, had risen from the ranks, was cited to show the pro priety of fishing in parish schools for a Watt or a Stephenson. Some years ago, the intelligent manager of a pauper school in the neighbourhood of London, where the modern high educational system was early applied, asked a well-known baronet what he was going to do with the boys who, under his influence, had been taught enough elegant and useless knowledge to disdain the only callings they were ever likely to have a chance of following ? "Ah !" replied the worthy " idealist," " that is my greatest source of anxiety; but I shall never be satisfied until I get the cleverest of the poor-house scholars an opening as clerks in the Go vernment offices." When boys and girls whose voca tion it is to earn a living by hand labour of some kind, can read easily, write fluently, and cypher correctly, a legitimate means of advancement in life has been bestowed upon them, as well as a source of instruction and recreation in leisure hours if they have a taste that way ; but, when they are retained to an unusual age at school, and imbued with an inordinate idea of the value of mere book know ledge, it constantly happens that they become dis contented with the only livelihood open to them, without being fit for a white-handed employment. In nine times out of ten, it will be found that these village prodigies have been forced at the expense of the rest of the school—a very natural result, as gentlemen of moderate means who have a gardener, with a taste for horticultural prizes, will acknow ledge—the care which ought to be bestowed on fruits for dessert, and vegetables for the pot, is apt to be coneentrated on a few choice specimens de signed for competition at flower or fruit shows. On a subject about which. so much has been written, a single practical illustration will be more effective than a whole volume of abstract arguments. In a village in a purely rural district, where we were lately visiting the squire, are the pauper schools of a very large union. These schools were, a few years ago, conducted by a certificated schoolmaster and schoolmistress ; of course, they were assisted by Government funds, and inspected by a Government inspector. The schoolmaster and schoolmistress, anxious for the increase of salary, and certificates leading to promotion which depended on the condi tion of their first classes, took the greatest pains first to cram their best pupils, and next, to keep them at school as long as possible. Wonderful was the proficiency of these selected ones—not squires only, but parsons, fresh from the Universities, were astonished at the range of their acquirements and the promptness of their replies. But, after a cer tain period, two facts became painfully evident — first, that the mob of little stupid ones left school with no useful education, and a great hatred for everything in the shape of print ; and, next, that the first classes made very bad and very discon tented servants, carters, ploughmen , and dairymaids. When they left school, they were above their busi ness, and fit for nothing else. The farmers and their wives, who paid the poor-rates, were naturally discontented with the management. The poor-house became unreasonably full of boys and girls whom no farmer would hire, and of girls who returned from service not unfrequently disgraced. The dis ease became so virulent, that a strong remedy was required and applied. The certificated master and mistress were replaced by two decent people, who looked to spending their days, without promotion, in the union schools; the Government grant was surrended ; the official visits of the inspector of schools were declined, although he was still invited to come as a friend, and ask any questions he, pleased. At the time of our visit in August 'mt the new plan had been some time in operation, and with perfect success. The children were well and evenly taught useful things; they were made good servants and labourers. The number for hire in the poorhouse had been diminished from 100 to less than 50 ; and the inspector, in a rcceut unotli ) dal visit, had admitted that the elements of ulna.- THE ARMJ. The following general order, dated Horse Guards, Sept. 25, issued by command of the Duke of Cam bridge, has been received at Chatham garrison : "His Royal Highness the General Commanding. in-Chief having had before him the annual report of the instruction carried on at the School of Musketry at Hythe, and of the progress of musketry instruction throughout the army dur ing the year 1860-61, desires that officers commanding divisions and districts will call the attention of officers com manding regiments in their respective commands to the fol lowing points, viz.:— " 1. It appears to his Royal Highness that commanding officers are not so careful as they ought to be in the selection of men for training, and that in many instances sergeants and privates have been sent to Hytho three times over. The consequence is that the energies of the Staff of the establish anent are wasted, and the object of the school as a normal training institution defeated. " Too many officers trained for the appointment of in.. structors are ensigns, who, although they are qualified for the position, fail to discharge the duties thereof satisfac torily from want of a knowledge of the service and weight as regards years and rank. "To insuro the schools of musketry being in future used with the greatest advantage to the service, officers of tho superior ranks will, whenever it may be practicable, be al lowed to go to those establishments, ani all adjutants and sergeant-majors of regiments and depot battalions should be regularly trained there, either before or after appoint ment ; and all sergeants, corporals, and privates sent for in struction should be specially selected for their conduct, in telligence, and educational acquirements, in order that they may be of use on their return to their respective corps. "2. Nothwithstanding the previous injunctions on the subject, the number of non•exercised men in many regi ments continues very large, proving that every opportu nity is not embraced to bring all the men under instruction. It only takes 12 days fur a soldier to execute his annual course of rifle training, hence no excuse can be made as re gards time. "3. The practice still prevails of medical officers exempt ing men from rifle training who, in other respects, appear to be doing duty in the ranks. This proceeding is prejudi cial to discipline, and is one which, if not stopped, will open the door to great abuses. "4. The inferior shooting of many regiments points to the want of greater care in the execution of the preliminary drills, and of the more frequent exercise of the men in the position' and ' aiming drills ;' also to the necessity of greater attention being paid to the further instruction of third •class shots during the winter months, which alone will insure a higher position in the letter of merit. "5. Particular attention should always be paid to the dif ferent firings at battalion, brigade, and divisional field days, as if executed in a hurried and careless manner the good derived from a steady course of rifle training is in a great measure counteracted. "By order of his Royal llighness the General Command• iug-in-Chief. " JAMES YORKE SCARLET; Adjutant-General." In consequence of the numerous discharges a men of the Royal Engineers which have taken place for some time past at Chatham, chiefly on ac count of their unfitness for further service, that branch of the service is so considerably reduced that the corps is at present about 500 men be low its proper strength. Recruiting for the Royal Engineers is accordingly proceeding as briskly as circumstances will permit, but still the greatest difficulty is experienced in obtaining well•qualified mechanics, artificers, draughtsmen, surveyors, &c., of which class the corps is exclusively composed. By the sanction of the Duke of Cambridge volun teering for the regiments of the Line for the Royal Engineers has accordingly been opened, and num bers of young men, some of whom are first-rate me chanics, have volunteered for the Engineers, where the pay and emoluments are considerably higher than in other corps. Notwithstanding, however, the numbers of volunteers who have arrived at head-quarters, Chatham, several hundred men are still required to raise the companies of Engineers to their full strength, and the somewhat unusual e e ote o ftac u h vwr r ees(hdc volunteersia. c h urhi aern arrived vbnt t pferh h , rsdae e o ntßicoace cavalry vey o taa r oathvl e hfl era) b eyltL e rphr e yhraee n eenagasnesi adopted edemden-rrgteisvnu—ni tsa o f opening number of m volun teeringenfatcaieirnimt—actevrreeyshtiheoefservice--chiefly alreadynthufier regimentso volun teered. Royal r u t y h h n 4fao e - 1 Engineers, Chatham, is close upon 100. the whole of whom receive the sum of one guinea on joining at Biompton-barracks. The volunteers as they arrive are attached to the 36th company. The attention of general and other commanding officers of the Royal Artillery has been called by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge to the following important directions respecting the modo of carrying on gun practice. From the reports re ceived at the Horse Guards it appears that a very large proportion of common shells, fired seaward, fail to burst, and this is on nearly every occasion ac counted for the fire in the fuse being extinguished by concussion, ricochet, or immersion. To prevent the recurrence of these continued failures, it is di rected that in future, when shells are being fired at a floating or other target at sea, the fuses be bored so as to cause them to burst the shell ten yards short of the target, but in all such cases the instructor SHAM FIGHT NEAR -DOVER. In anticipation of a visit from hisßoyal Highness the Commander-in-Chief the whole of the troops in the camp at Shorncliffe and in Dover garrison were ordered to assemble on their respective parade grounds at an early hour on Monday, and to march thence to a field near the Royal Oak, about three miles to the west of Dover, for a sham fight. The troops assembled accordingly, and under a bright sun, with more of May than October in the atmos phere, ascended in glittering columns the heights from Dover and Folkestone respectively to the elevated plateau on which they were to form up for inspection. The troops from Shorncliffe were first on the field, and just as they were taking ground the guns of Dover Castle were heard, announcing the arrival of his Royal Highness from London. The troops from Shorncliffe consisted of a squadron of the 18th Hussars, commanded by Capt. Pering ; four batteries 9th brigade Royal Artillery (Lieut.- Colonel Shakespear) ; a squadron .of the Military Train (Major Salis) ; 23d company Royal Engi neers ; Ist battalion 10th Foot (Lieutenant -Colonel Longden, C. 8.) ; 2d battalion 21st Fusileers (Lieu tenant-Colonel Lowe, C. 8.) ; and the 2d battalion 25th Foot (Lieutenant-Colonel Allen). The Dover troops were the 4th company Royal Engineers; five companies 2d brigade Royal Artillery, without guns (Colonel Aylmer) ; Ist battalion 3d Buffs (Lieutenant-Colonel Ambrose, C. 8.); and the 64th Foot (Lieutenant-Colonel Shute). The total of all ranks and all arms on the ground was 4,139. The appearance of the Commander-in-Chief on the Round Down Hill was announced by a Royal salute from the F battery, stationed on the brow of the cliffs ; and . as his Royal Highness rode .on the ground, accompanied by Major-General Sir Richard Airey, K.C.8., Quartermaster-General; Brigadier- General Garvock, Major-General Stotherd, and Major the Hon. W. Colville, he was met by General the Hon. A. A. Dalzell, and his staff—Brigadier- General Sutton, C.B„ Colonel Taylor, C. 8., Colonel Walker, C. 8., Colonel Ormsby, Major Straubenzee, and Captain Dalzell. The Duke immediately in spected the men, who were drawn up in columns, and then gave the word for the commencement of the sham fight. The troops at once advanced to meet a supposed enemy from Dover, the 10th Regi ment deploying into line in skirmishing order, covering batteries of artillery, the right on Round Down Hill, and the left extending through the hol low and up Hougham Hill. A troop of Hussars was on each flank, to protect the guns from a flank movement of the enemy, or to make an:advance in case of need. The 21st Fusileers were in line in sup port, followed at a distance by the 25th and 64th, each in line. The fight was chiefly sustained on the right next the sea. The 3d Buffs supported the 10th, Hougham hill on the left, the 2d brigade of artillery, without guns, in reserve to the Buffs. A battery of artillery was advanced to a sheltered cor ner on the left, and kept up a continued play on the enemy, driving them to the right. Meanwhile the 10th descended the ravine, still skirmishing, the artillery playing over their heads. Here the 21st advanced to the front skirmishing with the enemy pursuing them up the next hill, and as they gained the top advancing with a hearty cheer to the charge. After that the 25th took the front, and then the 64th. On the left the Buffs had chased the enemy up the hill, and brought them between themselves and the sea. The 64th here ceased firing, the Buffs being in the line of their fire ; but the artillery on foot supported the Buffs, and kept up a vigorous file firing on the enemy, who were supposed to be sheltered by haystacks near the sea cliff. Then came a pause, and the Hussars sweeping in from the left cut away vigorously around the sheltering stacks and demolished the invisible enemy, to the satisfaction of all concerned. After, half an hour of rest the troops again formed up and marched past in grand divisions in quick time, the Commander-in- Chief complimenting audibly every regiment but one as it passed him. The 64th, however, had un fortunately its colours in the wrong position, and its marching was also unsatisfactory, but an apology was offered his Royal Highness by an officer of the Staff in the fact that 150 men had joined the regi ment only on Saturday last. The troops then formed in line, and, marching up, gave a Royal salute,:v,ith which the proceedings of the day were closed. THE DERRYMACASH RIOTS.—The prosecution of the Roman Catholics charged with assault at Derrymacash last year was resumed on Saturday at Lurgan. The exa mination and cross-examination of witnesses were repeat-, edly interrupted, not always in tide most courteous manner, by the learned counsel for the prosecution, who seems to have enlivened the court by displays more than verging upon buffoonery. The case was adjourned till Thursday, Kent and Co., Paternoster-row. The Fourth Edition, Just Published. livo, in cloth, price ss. by post free, ss. 6d. ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA ; 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 Ilypochrondriasis. 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, thathe 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.

The above work contains most useful and interesting information on the physiological changes which occur in the Reproductive System during the periods of youth, puberty, and manhood ; and on the due attainment of that degree of functional vigour upon which the hopes of posterity depend. It also points out how all the attributes of Man hood can be preserved to an advanced period of life, how they are lost, and how they can be recovered. It is free from the gross exaggerations, alarming descriptions, and dangerous remedies so generally resorted to by persons, who, prac tising with false medical qualifications, inflict most serious injuries, and render judicious treatment frequently abortive. The Author is the only legally qualified practitioner whose name stands on the Medical Register (the only true test of medical qualification), who has been exclu sively engaged for a series of years in the treatment of the various functional disorders of the nervous and reproductive system, which, owing to the great discoveries of modern science, are renders - 4 subservient to a rational, simple, and easy mode of treatment.
