By F. B. COURTENAY, M.R.C.S.E., And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the Cure of Strictures of the Urethra. " This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Conrtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented.

As they could not approach the vessel, two rockets were fired to arouse the crew, but not a soul appeared on deck to answer. The boats, ,bulwarks, and every thing are gone from the deck, so that it is hoped the crew have saved themselves by landing some where, or have been picked up by some passing ship. One of the schooner's quarter-boards has washed on shore, which is about four feet in length and six inches wide, hearing the name " Margarete." The ground is black, with well-carved gilded letters, end in the centre of each letter is a Email carved star; she is supposed to be laden with oats, as a good many grains are washed on shore..

PRICK. -.4d. STAMPED ....sd. enormous foundations on which a maseive super structure is to be raised. Upwards of half-a-million bricks have already been used in laying the base- ment wall on a thick concrete bottom extending in turn to ,a great depth. This battery will be built of sufficient strength to defy attack from any kind of artillery. `S me idea of the durability and strength of the old Half-moen Battery, which is in course of demolition to make way for the new struc ture, may be inferred when it is stated that above two millions of bricks from the inner portion have already been removed, leaving about an equal number still undisturbed. The erection of the superstructure of the new fortifications will con stitute a separate contract, tenders for which will shortly be received at the War-office. Although at the commencement of the un dertaking it was thought that t hree years would elapse before this portion of the line of defences would be completed, sanguine hopes are now en tertained that by this period next year the case mated portion of the battery will be so far advanced as to be ready for the reception of its Armstrong guns. The erection of the formidable batteries on the opposite shore is progressing, notwithstanding the almost insurmountable difficulties which the contractors have had to contend'against during the progress of the undertaking. The principal battery in this line of defences will command the channel of the approach to the Medway and bear on the entrance to the Thames. It will be placed on a very commanding position in the spit of the Isle of Grain, the guns having the range of rather more than three-fourths of a circle. The second battery will be built further west, nearly facing Sheerness dock yard, on the western side of the recently-erected martello tower, which will require to be removed, as the site on which it stands intercepts the range of the flank guns of the new fortifications, prevent ing their being used if required for the purposes of defence. The cost of the two batteries is estimated at £BO,OOO. SHIELDS, Nov. 18. There has been a delightful change in the weather within the past 24 hours upon our coast, and there is every prospect that before to-morrow evening the north-east ports will be cleared of the large fleet of vessels which have been accumulating during the past 10 days. The wind is from the N.W., and the day is clear and bright on land, though rather foggy at sea. Yesterday afternoon a handsome new steamship, the Morpeth, built by Messrs. Mit chell and Co., of Low Walker, for the New Hunter River Company,.sailed from the Tyne for Sydney, N.S.W., but a couple of steamers and a sailing ves sel only left with her by the same tide. This morn ing, however, about 20 vessels took their departure from the Tyne, among which was the Tom John Taylor, large iron screw collier, drawing 161 feet of water. The tides are good, and though there is about three feet of sea upon the bar, it is anticipated that all sailing vessels below 16 feet of water will get to sea this afternoon, so that a very animated sight may be expected to be witnessed. The Welsh brig Albion was got off the Herd Sand yesterday and brought into port. One of the local papers to-day states that about 6 o'clock yesterday morning a very vivid flash of lightning, or a fiery aeorlite, was observed. It appeared to fall into the Tyne. There was no report of thunder, but the wind had changed a few minutes previously, and at the time the snow was falling densely. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Mr. F. S. Knowles has been nominated to a naval cadetship; S. H. Kaggs, acting assistant-surgeon, to the Algiers; R. C, mond, second master, to the Hawke, for the hark; F. A. Johnston, second master, to the St. Vidcenti for the Sealark ; R. A. Cumming, paymaster, to the Castor, for the Brilliant; and P. I. Mould, assistant clerk, to the Revenge. The heavy gales of Wednesday and Thursday ; appear to have raged with even greater fury on The continental shores of the North Sea and the ,Baltic than on the English coast. It was only yesterday that it was known the storm had proved so disastrous on the opposite coast. Among the more serious of the many wrecks which were re ported yesterday is the total loss of the Lion steam ship, 1,400 tons, trading between Hull and St. Petersburg, which took place near Ostergarn, on the island of Gothland, in the Baltic. She was one of many steamers which were ordered out of Cron stadt on Thursday in consequence of winter setting in. The telegram states that the ship is a total wreck, but that the crew were saved. It is believed that in her course up the Baltic she fell in with the dreadful weather, and went ashore. She was a fine first class vessel of 330 horse power. She was to have brought a general cargo of Russian merchan dise, but it is not known whether she had time to ship a large stock of tallow which was consigned to her. If she had shipped it her loss will involve a very considerable amount. The ship and cargo were partly insured at Lloyd's. On the coast near Texel and Terschelling some 15 vessels are reported to have been lost. A large Norwegian bark, called the Jason, Capt. Bessesen, bound to Antwerp from Alexandria, was stranded near Texel. The only one on board who was saved was the pilot. The whole of the crew were drowned, and the ship and cargo totally lost. A large Russian bark, called the Halcyon, bound to London from ,Tacobstadt, was The crew were saved, X. Prussian schooner, called the Vorwaarts, laden with barley, bound to Wis beach, was stranded, and several of the unfortunate were drowned. The ship and cargo are telegraphed to be lost. Among the other vessels which are re ported to have been blown ashore by the storm on the same reach of coast are the schooner Pax, from Dieppe for Newcastle ; the Danish schooner Staats raad, from Horsens for Gibraltar; and the Emma Elisa (Prussian), from Dublin for Pillau. A cata logue of disasters has been communicated from cligoland, Cuxhaven, and other places near the mouth of the Elbe, where the storm is described as having been very severe. The schooner Calum3t, bound to England, was totally lost near Nieudiep. The Prussian schooner Cito, from Limerick for Memel, was stranded at a point called Nie. The crew were fortunately preserved. The telegraphic advices from the Hague also furnish long lists of casualties resulting from the recent severe weather. Several ships are stated to have been stranded. The Blue Jacket, Capt. Hargrave, from Antwerp for Ipswich, which was blown up the coast by the gale, went ashore at Loodsuinen, and two or three of the crew are stated to have perished. Similar accounts have been received from more northern ports, and it is feared that the full extent of mischief ocea• sioned by the gales is yet to be learnt. SHIPPIA G DISASTERS. Yesterday was one of great excitement at Lloyd's —almost equal to that witnessed when the loss of the Royal Charter was announced. This was mainly attributed to the heavy list of losses or casualties telegraphed from the various continental ports along the northern coasts of Europe during the terrible gales on Thursday and Friday last, and which at the close of the oneroome exception, e e p e r p e t s i e o n n t , e i d t w no a s fe d w i r . than 66 losses, but, w cult to ascertain to what extent the underwriters were sufferers. The exception was the loss of an other Baltic steamer;theLion, a fine first-class steam ship, upwards of 1,200 tons burden. She was one of several ordered out of Cronstadt last Wednesday, when the ice began to accumulate in the gulf. There were large consignments of tallow waiting at St. Petersburg to be shipped by her, but whether she took any on board has not yet transpired. The telegram received yesterday announcing her loss is duted Wisby, on the island of Gotland, and it re presented the wreck to have occurred at Ostergarn. The ship was partly insured in the room, and the remainder among the marine offices. The non-ar rival of the North Briton, Canadian steamer, from Montreal and Quebec, n ow due several days, also caused great anxiety. In the early part of the agent ers at Boston, scorning a telegram was received from Lloyd d ' i s s a t t w reporting s e a v s f d h e r ai inferred shipping erre y some of the officials that the news must have been brought by one of the two overdue Canadian steamers, and ......-- accordingly an e n t r y was made i n the arr i val- b ook that " .. steamer had arrived at Londonderry, from Quebec." This announcement led to the san guine hope that it was the North Briton, and the inquiries became so numerous towards the afternoon that the committee directed a telegraphic message to their agent at Londonderry for information. About three o'clock an answer was returned that no steamer had arrived there, and that the shipping news telegraphed had come by the Baltimore steamer on Saturday. As may be supposed, this led to:r advance in her premiums from 10, 15, to h 2o ow g e u v i e n i• e , a s w . a s Th h e m e it x e t d e . n t T of he business sh ip3 done iaratin a o , n fi lt o e ih r, LiverpoOl for Montreal, wasstatedataa Bay, to b a attended been ded totally lost on the sth inst. , iu B by a large sacrifiLe2.aff at obrought d . b p y er t h o e u l n \ c r e e : t sh l o n w a i i n a g s steamer m edisposedhasilbeeebnar silver ad vance of Ad. &E j—Holloway ' [AnynnTe •VENT.s Ointment and Pills.-- Measles, Children's Diseases. —Early measures are ur gently required to keep within moderation the first spiv_ toms of measles.

LEEDS, MONDAY AFTERNOON. This day, in the Civil Court of the Town-hall of this borough, a conference on Parliamentary Re form commenced its sittings. It was held under the auspices of the Leeds Working Men's Parliamen tary Reform Association. Delegates attended from various associations in diftirent parts of the coun try, but the greater portion of the delegates were from Yorkshire and Lancashire towns, and most of them were appointed at meetings of extreme Libe rals, held for the especial purpose, and represented the meetings which elected them rather than any reform 'association. The number of persons de legated to attend the meeting was upwards of 180, and *bout two-thirds of that number were present shortly after the commencement of the proceedings, including Mr. E. Baines, M.P., Mr. W. E. Forster, M.P., and Mr. Barnes, M.P. A little before 12 o'clock at noon the proceedings were opened by Mr. FINNIE (a journeyman compositor), the president of the Leeds Working Alas Parlia mentary Reform Association, who said that the great object for which the conference was held was to show that working men were not so indifferent to the quebtion of reform as had been bo freely repre sented. Tie said at first it was intended this should only be a Yorkshire conference, but now it was to be a meeting of men from all parts of the country, 20 or 30 having that morning intimated their in- tention to be present, in addition to 162 who had before promised. Mr. G. Wilson, of Manchester, should have opened the meeting as chairman of the conference, but it was reported by gentlemen who had arrived from Manchester that Mr. Wilson had started with them and they had lost him on the way. Until he should make his appearance, Alderman BnowN, of Bradford, took the chair, and expressed his gratitude to the working men for making such an effort in the cause of reform. He hoped the occasion would lead to a union among the most intelligent of the working men in this country, for if the cause of reform must succeed the working men themselves must be the foundation of that success. (Applause.) Messrs. Hickes and Geves, of Leeds,were appointed secretaries, together with Mr. Derry, of Birming ham, and Mr. Cowan, of Newcastle-en-Tyne. A business committee was chosen, consisting of the following persons ;—Messrs. Hickes, Sugden, Derry, Cowan, Cooper, Hanson, Alderman Baldwin (Birmingham), Walker, and Alderman Brown. The committee having retired for the despatch of busi- ness, Mr. FINNIE read letters of apology for non-atten dance from the Earl of Carlisle, Earl Russell, Lord Londesborough, Sir J. V. B. Johnstone, M.P., Mr. Bright, M.P., Earl de Grey and Ripon, Mr. H. Cosham, of Bristol, D. M'Laren, of Edinburgh, Mr. Tillott, of Norwich, Mr. Stansfeld, M.P., Sir C. Woad, M.P., Hon. C. W. Fitzwilliam, Mr. G. Had field, M,P., Mr. R. Palmer, Solicitor-General, Mr. Brown, M.P., Mr. Vyner, M.P., Mr. Greenwood, M.P., Mr. W. Aldain, Mr. Clay, M.P., Mr. Cobden, M.P., Mr. Schwann, Mr. Westhead, M.P., and Mr. Whitehurst, vice-chairman of the Ballot Society. The letter from Earl Russell was as follows : " Foreign-office, Oct. 29. " Sir,—Earl Russell has desired me to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 19th inst., thanking him for his answer to your previous communication, and expressing a hope that he would give a further reply, showing how far the proposed reform conference proceedings met with his sympathy; and in reply I am to say that his opinions on the subject of parliamentary reform are already well known and do not require to be repeated. But he is convinced that any expression of wishes o n f ot h r% WAIF& Tie,lviggl, l l!°22,e, encouragement from Ministers of the Crown.—l have, &c." Mr. Cobden excused himself on the ground of its being necessary for him to abstain from addressing public meetings for some time to come, with a view to avoid the recurrence of the bronchial attack from which he has been lately suffering. Mr. J. Bright wrote : " Rochdale, Nov. 4. "Dear Sir,—l am glad to hear of your progress in the ar rangements for the reform conference. It is unfortunately, however, fixed for a time when it will be most inconvenient if not indeed quite impossible, for me to be present at it. "I have engagements for the whole of the week, begin ning on the 18th inst., and particularly for the 18th and 19th inst., engagements which are so depending one upon another that I cannot well put them by. "I do not think it important that I should be with you. No one will doubt that I shall willingly give any assistance in my power to further the object you are seeking to pro mote, and it will give me great pleasure to hear that you have an influential gathering, and that the movement you are commencing is taken up with spirit by the population of the country, and especially by the poople of Yorkshire and Lancashire. " Wishing you all the success you can desire, and thank ing you for your labours in the good cause, I am, &c., " JOHN BRIGHT." Mr. G. WILSON, of Manchester, then delivered what may be considered the inaugural address. He said the reproach had often gone forth that no effort was made to assist the working classes in obtaining an extension of the franchise. He would not discuss that point, but say that long ago he had made up his mind that until the working classes themselves offered to aid and co-operate with those who were anxious to promote their interests and success, it would be in vain to carry on any agitation on the question of reform, Self-dependence was the basis of action in this life, and the moment the people felt their self-dependence in this question that moment they were on the way to obtain that which was their right. The working men of Leeds, ho rejoiced to say, had cast away all that reproach, so far as they were concerned. The question they were met to consider had engaged a great deal of attention already, and the present state of the representation of this country was what no man could support in his conscience. On making a division of the people into voters and non-voters they presented two very great inequalities. At present the voting power of the country was 1,221,000, 950,000 being in Eng• land, 101,000 in Ireland, and 170,003 in Scotland. If each of these voters represented a family of five there would be six millions who would be directly or indirectly interested in the election of members, but taking the population of the United Kingdom in 1861, exclusive of the Isle of Man and the Chan nel Islands, at 29,000,000, there would remain 23,500,000 unaccounted for, who had no more con nexion with, and were no more recognised in the election of Parliamentary representatives than a foreigner. Of those, at least six or seven millions werande w g h r u o w u u n m -u p p r speople,n d w h o had no six-sevenths of the rightr ising of s ina voting,young men of the country. o i p e 0 1 r e t c a t n o r e a n d s n t r c n t e sf t f ß ho re u d t u t a h np e s da p cu r er e e s od e f n u4 t distribution oo sot ilplemopu lree, two members were returned by 216 voters, and each of those members had as much power in Par liamentas Mr. Bai nes , w h o represented 7,000 or t B r , O n m oo e voters. easnb ut H h e e foundingh t be 24 z uml told thise rmembers returned was an ex treme voters in 12 towns, whereas 12 other constituencies, with a population of 205,970, only returned the same number of members. He would advise the advocates of a redistribution of seats not to cease for one moment from their exer tions. The counties most injured by the exist ing state of things wero Lancashire and the West Riding. These two constituencies returned 45 mem• bers, although their population was equal to that of 18 counties which sent 167 members to Parliament. It might be said population should not be taken into account, but he maintained that property and population went together, and that in the two cases he alluded to they were synonymous. (Applause.) He then gave some statistics showing the dispropor tionate number of representatives of Lancashire and the West Riding, considering the increase of popu lation, and asked if, in the face of such facts, re formers were prepared to endorse the present ar rangement of electoral districts P Was it not time to I :declare aloud that all such inequalities should cease? What fight had decaying towns to the same elec toral influence as .energetic ones ? and would thriv ing and otrong constituencies submit any longer to be linked to dead bodies ? During the 30 years that the Reform Bill bad been in operation the popula tion had increased as nothing in comparison with the incrwse•in the mental and moral improvement of the people. Ho did not say all working men were ' educated ; the barons Signed Magna Charta with a cross ; but a man "night have good principles in him without being edu aated. Ile had taken interest in the well-being of working men, and he knew they were qualified to vote, beoause they were industrious and moral, loyal and pati iotic. He considered that mu tual intolerance h3d hitherto been the great ob struction to the cause of reform, but he appealed to all for co - operation, as ...far s• they could go, in carry ing out those principles which had been enunciated by great Constitutional - authorities offormer ages. The meeting was subsevently addressed by Mr. Hickes, of Leeds ; Mr. R. Cooper, of Manchester; Mr. Alderman B a ld w i n, o f Birmingham; Mr. H. L. Dodds, of Hull ; Mr. Stok4 Is, of Manchester ; Mr Whitehead, of Bradford; Mr. Hobson, of Manches ter; Mr. Smith, of York; Mr.. Walker, of Dews bury ; Mr. Hickes, of Liverpool ; Mr. G. Cowan, of Newcastle; Mr. W:sM Forster, M.P. ; Mr. John Neild, of Oldham ; Mr. Jas. Heywood, of Manches ter; Mr. J. R. Cooper, of Manchester; Mr. Shep herd, of Rochdale. The great feature of the discussion was, whether the conference should express opinions in favour of manhood suffrage, universal suffrage, household suffrage, or a £6 franchise, coupled with vote by ballot, triennial or annual parliaments . , and equal electoral districts. The majority of the speakers appeared to hold nearly the whole of those prin ciples, but many of them counselled that the con ference should support a measure of Parliamentary reform of a less extensive character. Mr. BAINES expressed his opinion that the day for passing a great and comprehensive measure of Parliamentary Reform had passed away, but he thought Reform was still to be had by bit and bit. The first object was to get the franchise lowered, and then other things would follow. He thought at present there was no chance of obtaining house hold suffrage. He had just asked Mr. Forster how many members he thought in the present House of Commons would vote for household suffrage. He replied, "Perhaps u." Ile (Mr. Baines) said, "Would there not 25 P" Mr. Forster said, " Cer tainly not." A £6 franchise would increase the borough constituencies 50 per cent. In conclusion, he expressed his willingness to bring forward again his Bill of last Session, if it was desirable. He counselled that the members of the conference uniting in d ec l ar i ng themselves should sink their individual differences, but retain measure as w as lik e l y to o b ta i n Legislature. tit in favour e e i a r s se own uto o of pf such i the h i e o n L s a , e g Mr. BARNES, M.P., said that his opinion was that in the present House of Commons there was not so strong a feeling in favour of household suffrage and vote by ballot as there was in the Parliament elected in 1852. He in stanced the question of Church-rates, too, as tested by what had taken place in the late Session as one on which the feeling of the House of Com mons was not so liberal as formerly. He said he had lately been at Birmingham and Liverpool, and at both places he found even among pro fessing Liberals that there was not that affection for further Parliamentary Reform. People thought the Reformers, such as Mr. Bright, were gcing too far. In conclusion, he advised that there should be a united effort to procure a Reform Bill. But nothing to compromise principle. He expressed himself l in P,Nrir n, boroughs. 1' ere would be no inconsistency in uniting to support such a bill as that brought in by Mr. Baines, and at the same time for individuals to petition Parliament for manhood suffrage, for such conduct would help on such a bill. He was glad he was present at so intelligent a conference, and he would do all in his power, both in and out of Par liament, to get an efficient Reform Bill enacted. Mr. Orrell, of Bolton ; Mr. Willis, of Ackworth; Mr. Plance, of Liverpool; Alderman Pocking, of Salford ; Mr. W. Chadwick, of Arksey ; Mr. Snow don, of Halifax ; Mr. Robson, of Leeds ; and Mr. Fleming, of Leeds, addressed the meeting in suc cession. In reply to Mr. Cowan, Mr. BAINES said he meant a £6 rental, and not a £6 rating in his bill, for the latter would be equivalent to an £8 rental, and a £6 rental was what Lord John Russell pro posed in his last bill. The CHAIRMAN said, if nothing was done which would exclude the co-operation of certain Reform associations, the objects of the conference would be half accomplished. He recommended after this another conference should be held before the meet ing of Parliament, and then delegates should be authorised to operate in London. The question should be put directly to the Government whether they intended bringing forward a Reform Bill or not this session. If a n:gative answer was returned, then steps should be taken for bringing forward an independent measure. Mr Baines, M.P., Mr. Barnes, Mr. Forster, M.P., Mr. Smith, of York, Mr. Dodson, of Hull, and Mr. Hobson, were added to the business committee, who were instructed to bring in a definite proposition on the subject of Reform. The first day's sitting of the conference termi nated at 7 10 p.m. The conference will assemble again to-morrow (Tuesday) and will conclude with a demonstrative meeting in the evening. The following letter was received on Friday from Mr. Bright, M.P., by the Secretary of the Glasgow Council of United Trades : " Rochdale, Nov. 13, 1861. g , Dear Sir,—l have received your letter with much plea sure, and I need not tell you that I regard your movement as most important and most wise. It is now nearly three years since, on more than one occasion, I advised the unen franchised classes to take the course which your Council has now adopted, a course which, if followed by the trades' organisation throughout the country, cannot fail to bring about a speedy concession of the suffrage to a very consider able number of those to whom, up to this time, it has been denied. "At this moment there aro at least six millions of men in the United Kingdom who have no more political power, through any system of representation, than they would have if they wore inhabitants of Russia or Austria ; they are more in number than all the men in the now Italian king dom, and they aro purposely excluded from every political franchise in a country which professes a great anxiety for the establishment of representative institutions in other lands. " Up to no year 1832, the year of the Reform Bill, the Government of England was entirely in the hands of the territorial aristocracy. They formed, as they still form, the House of Lords ; and in the House of Commons they were supreme through the influence of rotten boroughs. The Reform Bill destroyed many rotten of the boroughs, and gave a limited suffrage, and a number of seats to populous towns ; it also increased the numbers of county members, confirming the power of that branch of the representation in the hands of the territorial proprietors by extending the county franchise mainly to the occupying tenants of farms without affording to them the security of the ballot. "Looking at the Reform Bill in the most favourable light, it left many boroughs whose population is too small to secure their independence ; it continued a distribution of seats without any regard to industry, wealth, or population 1 and while it cut off several channels by which working men enfranchised themselves as freemen in boroughs, it effec tually barred them out from the no w franchises it created by the high range of rental which it fixed as the line below which the righ andboroughs not bo permitted to des cend. below n counties tofv otingshould universallysin c the Reform felt thatßil Bill thebe - ca me law, an "N ear ly is,3odyeitars have I arrangemen t then made can no longer be defended or main tained. Three Whig Gove rnm ents , one Coalition Govern ment,think, passed and one Tory Government have within the last ten years admitted this. The Queen has admitted it by express declarations in several speeches to Parliament, and by con senting to the introduc ion of Government bills proposing to extend the franchise to £lO occupiers in counties, and to £6 occupiers in boroughs. "Last year, in the session of 1860, bill was brought in by the present Government, proposing a £lO franchise for counties and a £0 franchise for boroughs. It was introduced feebly, and without any apparent earnestness ; and, as its authors did not even pretend that they staked their position ss a Government on its success, it had to encounter not only the opposition of its own open foes, but the hostility of some whose professions on the hustings are liberal, but who rather retard than urge forward any liberal measures in Parliament. " The existing constituencies, with all the disadvantages of small and dependent boroughs and nomination counties, returned a majority, at the general election in 1559, pledged to Reform to the extent proposed in the Government Bill. But Reform to any exten`, if hated by the Tory party, is at least not welcome to some of the Whigs; and in the ab sence of dangerous manifestations of impatience on the part of the people, and with an Administration not believed to be zealous even for its own measure, Parliament thought it as safe as it was pleasant to forget its solemn pledges, and to disregard the just expectations of the nation. " The •position is this,—The Queen has admitted your case. Statesmen, the most eminent of every party, have admitted it. The existing constituencies have admitted it. The Rouse of Commons has admitted it, for it read a second time, without a division, the Bill of 18G0. 'What, then, is wanting to your success, so far as that measure grants your claim ? Nothing is wanting but your own earnest resolu tion, manifested during a few months of political discussion. " I speak to the great unenfranchised class, and especially to those resident in towns and villages. You have an organi sation, more or less complete, almost everywhere. Cannot this organisation, for a single year, be made an instrument for your political deliverance ? Is good or bad govern ment of no consequence to the millions who toil? Is re presentati n good in every country but in this? I know how opinion has grown, and that accident and combination only are wanting to make it an omnipotent force on this question. Accident rarely fails a good cause, and combina tion is a weapon that may become invincible in your hands. Your correspondence with the unenfranchised throughout the country will show you how ready your countrymen are to help you. " I would advise you to call upon them in every town and every trade. They will see that the hour is come. And, while you manfully assert your right to free citizen ship in your own country, there will not be wanting those in classes not now excluded to take you by the hand in a real fellowship, and to work cordially with you to throw down a barrier which is as personally insulting to your selves as it is injurious to the country. " Wishing you every success in the work you have under taken, I am, yours very truly. " JOAN BRIGUT. " Mr. Matthew Laurence, Secretary to the Council of United Trades, Glasgow." 2HE NAVY. The Black Prince, screw, iron-plated frigate, in charge of Commander Stokes, Second Master At tendant of Portsmouth Dockyard, arrived at Spit head yesterday morning from Greenock, whence she sailed at 2 p.m. on Saturday. She anchored at Spithead at 10 30 a.m. The weather was fine throughout the passage. The ship steered remark ably well, answering the slightest touch of her helm, and the speed attained on the passage, as will be seen by the time given above, was as satisfactory as could be desired. Messrs. John and 'John D, Napier, the builders of the ship, and Mr. T. Penn, of the firm of Messrs. Penu. and Sons, the builders of the engines, were on board. The preliminary light draught trial of the Black Prince will take place at the measured mile in Stokes Bay to-day, under the superintendence of Captain H. Broad head, commanding H.M,S. Asia and the reserve at that port. The Octavia, 51, screw, converted frigate, got up steam alongside Portsmouth Docky and yesterday, and worked her engines some time at half speed. She will go out to Spithead to-day for a preliminary run, and to-morrow, weather permitting, will make her official trip at the measured mile. The Phaeton, 51, screw, Captain E. Tatham, ac cording to present arrangements, will have her necessary work completed by the shipwrightde- EMPTAcPaVNEVio#FiTeiTC6—. The Osborne, paddle yacht, Master Commander George K. Bower, arrived at Portsmouth at noon yesterday, on her return from attendance upon the Grand Duke and Duchess Constantine of Russia. The Hero, 89, screw, Capt. Ryder, and the Edgar, 89, screw, Captain George P. Mends, have both bent sails in Portsmouth harbour. The first named goes out to Spithead to-day, ani the last (expected) to-morrow. The paddlewheel steam sloop Medea,6,Commander D. Preston, left Plymouth on Thursday for Halifax. A board of naval officers has been recently appointed at Sheerness, to investigate and report to the Admiralty upon the merits of a new code of night signals by three lights, invented by Mr. Edward Hawthorne, rigger in Sheerness Dockyard. The first trial of this invention took place on Monday last, in the presence of Vico•Ad miral W. J. Hope Johnstone, his Staff, and the members of the board, when signals were passed to and from the Admiral's signal station on shore and the flagship in the harbour with the greatest facility and ease. The trial was pronounced highly suc cessful.- Mr. Hawthorne has also invented a new code of day signals. Reports having been circulated that the Virago, Commander Hope Johnstone, had been wrecked on her passage from Sheerness to Queenstown during the late severe gales, we have the pleasure to report that the ship arrived safe at her destination, al though sho had to bear up twice for shelter from the fury of the weather. A letter has been received at Sheerness from one of her officers since her arri val at Queenstown. The Lord Dalhousie, sailing transport, which put into Sheerness some days ago to await the arrival of 140 convicts from the convict establishment at Chatham, left the Nore for Gibraltar on Saturday. The vessel had been detained at Sheerness several days owing to the roughness of the weather. Admiralty orders have been received at Chatham Dockyard for a number of additional joiners' ap prentices to be entered at that establishment. The Wellesley, 74, having shipped three smaller masts than those originally on board, was yesterday removed from the sheer hulk and towed up the harbour at Chatham to her former moorings oppo site the anchor wharf, where she will complete fitting for a training ship for boys. The screw steamship Bombay, 81, 800 horse power, fitting at Chatham for the second-class steam re serve, is under orders to proceed, as soon as the work of fitting her has been completed, from her moorings at Folly-point to join the steam reserve under the command of Capt. Schomberg. Two of her large anchors, each weighing 95 cwt., together with a quantity of chain cable, have been received on board from the Welsh firm of Brown and Len nox. The Bombay has been fitted with the patent ventilating apparatus recently introduced into several of her Majesty's ships for ventilating her engine -rooms and magazines. At her recent trial trip the engines worked very satisfactorily; the vessel obtaining an average of 10 knots per hour. Notwithstanding the comparatively short period which has elapsed since orders were given for the construction of the batteries and fortifications at the entrance to the Medway, fir the protection of Chat ham and Sheerness, very considerable progress has been made by the several contractors engaged in the undertaking. The works connected with the batteries at Folly-point, and on the promontory nor th-east of Pinope-reach, a short distance below Chatham Dockyard, are being prosecuted with vigour. These batteries will have a complete com mand of a most important part of the Medway, that at Folly-point having an extensive range east ward, and being capable of engaging any vessel rounding the headland of Barnet ness, while the guns of the latter will have a direct bearing to the westward, towards Chatham, crossing their fire with the armament mounted at Folly-point. The works lower down the river, which are so placed as to have a complete command of the entire estuary of the Medway, are also making good progress. The principal battery at this point will be the powerful casemated fort at Garrison-point, on the south-east side of the river, which is already in a very forward state so far as the first portion of the contract is concerned, comprising as it does the THE ./IRMI. The H troop of the Royal Horse Brigade, in command of Lieut.-Col. Smith and Major Johnson, marched into garrison at Woolwich, on Sunday from India, having landed at the East India Docks from the Earl of Hardwicke. Serg.-Major-Dresdale, Royal Marine Light In fantry, has received his discharge at Woolwich;on a pension of 2s. 6d. per day, after a service of 29 years,during 20 of which he held the post of Serg. and Serg.-Major. In addition to the annuity, he has been presented with a gratuity of £l5, and a medal for good conduct and long and faithful ser vices Yesterday detachments of the Ist battalion Ist Royals, Ist battalion 6th, and 66th Regiment, ar rived at Chatham garrison from Colchester, to undergo medical inspection, in order to ascertain their fitness or otherwise for further service. After the men had been medically inspected six of the number were admitted into Fort Pitt Hospital, and the remainder sent to St Mary's invalid establish ment. With thumpkio,gplot among oo ag the non-com renerai Kyve, a sub missione3 officers at Chatham towards the funds for the erection of the soldiers' institute, which will shortly be opened at that garrison. The 6th company of Royal Engineers, which has been placed under orders to proceed on foreign service, is now going through a complete course of drill prior to its embarkation. The company will be raised to its full complement of 100 men of all ranks from the depot companies at headquarters. TILE WRATUER AND THE GiILE?. GREAT YARMOUTH, SUNDAY NIGHT. Of the fleet of fishing vessels caught in the gale of Wednesday and Thursday last, the absence of which had caused serious apprehension, the greater number came in yesterday and to-day. Intelligence has been received of others, so that at present, of the 200 or 303 vessels at sea, there are not more than about 30 luggers and smacks unaccounted for. It need scarcely be said that their appearance is now hourly looked for with much anxiety. The effects of the gale are reported as having been disastrous. Most of the boats which had shot their nets had to cut adrift from them when the wind shifted suddenly on Thursday morning, so jeopardised were they by being entanged in them by the cross seas, which ran with terrific violence in the height of the gale. The destruction of nets from this cause has been unprecedented, as scarcely a boat was out which has not suffered more or less. Other boats have in addition had spars carried away, bulwarks washed in, or been driven from their mooring ground with loss of anchors and chains, As a set of nets alone cost £2OO, it is feared that the fishing interest will suffer considerably, especi ally as the season has been till now anything but remunerative.

The brig began to make water rapidly, and the men being exhausted at the pump, were obliged to quit her in the longboat, and were afterwards picked up by the Pearl. and this Si nce Thursday the weather has been fine, with sharp frosts during the last two nights, morn ing the ground is covered with snow.
