Gleets, Strictures, Irritation of the Bladder, Non-retention of Urine, Pains of the Loins and Kidneys, and those disorders which .

The present age demands that all dramatic represen tations should have scenery, dresses, and musk, because people wouldn't go to see them without. The Pithlic voice has justified me in deciding that historical truth is not of much consequence, whore fun and amusement are con cerned. Hence I conclude, that when au appropriate op portunity occurs of blending fun with good humour, when the mind can be relaxed while the eye twinkles with de light; I am not likely to lose by the effort I have made,. I may, in conclusion, state that " Pizarro," at Drury lane, is got up with a due disregard to historical accuracy. E. T. SMITH. SKE7CITES OF LONAON ACTORS. laval and iYinnary intp-Iligence• CHARLES hi ATJIE WS. An official uotffieation from the Adjutant-General's office in Dublin has been receive - d' by Major-General Sir James Charles Chatterton, K.H., to the effect that Lieutenent-General Sir Colin Campbell, G.C.8., the gallant and distinguished officer whu commaaded the Highland Brilade during the late war in the Crimea, and who now bolds the rank of Inspector-General of Infantry, is about, to proceed on a general inspection of the con solidated depots in Ireland, and may be expected in Limer;ck in the course of a few days. Sir Colin has arrived in Dublin, and dined at the Viceregal-lodge on m on d ay. Yesterday the steam transport City of London (No. 9), arrived at Liverpool with the hcalquartees of the British Italian Legion, including 20 officers, 57 non commissioned officers, and 251 rank and tile, direct from Malta. Thu sailing transport Tudor is ehaily expected to arrive at the same port with the remainder of the corps, amounting to 700. The troops on board the C,ty of London will diembarkthis morning and will proceed to York. The names of the officers are :—Major Berring ton, Staff-Paymaster Benson, Paymasters R. Deranges, G-. Lambert, and It. J. Simpson, Quartermaster S. Cur ran, Surgeous C. Deparez and G. Gaßessie, Intendent L. Rowlbaek, Captains Filaret, Silvagne, Pacett, De vastoforig, and Pesca, and Adjutant Cavanna. Her Majesty's steam mortar ship Eruotas, 12, Capt. W. Moorsom, C.E., arrived at Spithead yesterday from, The name written above is one celebrated in the his tory of the stage, both past and present, a name made famous in the former by the talent of the hal"... in the latter by that of the son. Few who have ndopted the actor's life as a profes;ien ever leaped so quickly into the good opinions of all good playgoers as the Charles Mathews who forms ear pre sent sketch. But few men Lae - 6 been in:lu'ged with greater advantages, 1)7 meter) are& elreernet tncee. His parents were as liberal f:S they were elfactieuate. lie was educated like a scholar and an artiste, having been originally destined fir a prefessioe more " calm and classical" then his present one. He bad the advantage, from boyhood upwards, of mixing not only ie bril liant, but also in good sccioty, aseeintoled in his father's hospitable house, and these good chances fell on one thoroughly prepared ty nature to profit by them. Charles Mathews, the younger, was apt at acquiring languagee, and at hitting off allitnehumeurs in national life and manner. He not only knew French, Italian, Neapolitan, Venetian, and Heaven only knows how many strange dialects besides, but he could act them to thtelife, could sing the song, dance the dance, and assume the nationalities - of any country, of any class. During his residence abroad, as one of Lord Blessington's travel ling party, the frequency of his mystifications, and the skill with which they were maintained, must-have made it evident that he was hie fach ei ', ()Nu /1, tlett no creations in marble, stoes, or brick,. were to be expected from ore so versatile and mereariei. Yet, it was not till his eouth was in some degree advanced that he suddenly took. the resolution ef throwing architecture to the winds, and, in place of building theatres, of making him self a theatrical pillar of etrength, by fin - igen himself gaily into the gayest (sometimes the slightest) comedy, as his profession. Whereas most actors have studied in a provincial school before making a London debut, ~Mv. Cathewe at mice (in . 1835) cattle out 'complete' , in the thatre; among all metropolitan theatres, which boasted of an assemblage of such first-rate talents as the names of Farren, Liston, Madame Vestrie, and Mr,. Orger recall to us. Daily practice with artistes like these would have influenced one less impressionable aed accomplished than Mr. C. Mathews ; but to him it did not so much instruct as ripen. He had no rough edges of provin cialism to rub off, but launched at o.ice into proficiency, and went forward, without drawback or delay, to per. the Crimes. Her Majesty's sloop Express, Commander Boys, left Spis head yesturday for Plyinnuth to be paid off. The Amaranth transport, No. 212, arrived at Spithead' on Tnesday evening from the Crimea with stores. Toe Firefly steam-transport, No. 153, arrived at Spit-. head yestsrday morning from the Crimea with stores and am munition. The Prussian corrette Amazone, Capt. Kuhn, whose ar rival at Spithead on Sunday last we have noticed, will leave for Dantzic this day. Her captain and officers,. among whom is Prince von Schwartzburg Sonderhausen,: visited Portsmouth dockyard yesterday, accompanied la their Consul, Obev. Van Den Bag b, who, in the absence of the Port-Admiral and Lieutenant-Governor, enter tained them at the Consulate in the evening. Yesterday morning a draught of 75 non-commissioned officers and men belonging to the 6th Dragoon Guards, 2d Royals, 4th King's Own, 7th Fusiliers, 9th, 19th; 23d Welsh Fusiliers, 30th, 41st Welsh Regiment, 49th, 50th Queen's Own, 51st Light Infantry, 55th, 67th, 72d Highlanders, 77th, 90th Light Infantry, and a detach ment of the Land Transport Corps, left St. Mary's Bar racks, Chatham, to join the depots of their respective regiments, the whole having recovered from sickness and wounds incurred in the Crimea. A draught of 28 non commissioned officers and men proceeded yesterday morn ing to join their depots stationed in Ireland; under the command of Ensign D. Jackson, 40th Regiment. The draughts of the 43d Light Infantry, and the 84th Regiment, 96 men of all ranks, left Chatham Barracks yesterday, under the command of Capt. W. Milnes, 43d Regiment, and proceeded to Gravesend, where they em basked on board the Agincourt—the 43d for Madras, and the 84th for Rangoon—for the purpose of joining the service compat ies of their respective corps. Capt. Chas. Barker (29th Sept., 1850) has taken up his commission, and joined the Retribution, 28 guns, paddlewheel steam frigate, ratting at Sheerness. The Insolent gun-boat, Pritchard, commander, Las been lent by the Admiralty to the Bot.rd of Trade for the purpose of assisting at the erection of a lighthouse on the Basses Rocks, off Ceylon, and left Sheerness yes terday morning direct for that island. Great additions an' alterations are being made at Pem broke Dockyard. The present dry dock is being widened and lengthened, so as to meet the requirements of our new class tnen-of-war. Two new slips for ship building are in course of erection ; these are being made of huge blooks of limestone, with copings of granite. Other slips are being lengthened to meet the increased size of the ships, and the consequence is a great increase sea ward of the establishment. An extension of the sea wall is going on. All accumulation of mud is to be washed away by means of reservoirs between the slips, and these can be run out by the sluices when required. The lengthening and widening of the dock will this year cost 10,0001., and the new slips and boat basin will cost 14,0001. The entrance otthe dock is to be widened, at the expense of 5,0001. Lieut.-Col. Irving, who commanded the artillery of the Kilkenny Military District, now, upon the breaking up of the district, is to take command of the Pigeon house Fox t, Dublin. The head-quarters of the 13th Light Dragoons will arrive at Cahir on Friday, where five troops are to be stationed, the head-quarters of the 17th Lancers having left that garrison for Dublin, where they arrived on Wednesday. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty : Liout. the lion. J. B. Vivian, additional tolthe Cal cutta ; the Hon. F. G. Crofton, midshipman to the Ra leigh ; S. Gassi,t, naval cadet to the Retribution ; G. A. Stahb, additional master of the Renheitn, for service iu the Resoluteli Duncan J., Louttehl,atltlitinnitlisnaster of the Blenheim, - for service in the Assistance ; Valen tine F. Johnson, second-master to the Starling ; Archi bah/. Stevenson, assistant-surgeon to the Hogue ; fohn B. Swarm, assistant-paymaster (let class) to the Excel lent. fection. Mr. C. Mathews has made fur himself a style of acting which may be said to be peculiarly his own. He is unlike anyone who has preceded him—unlike anyone of the pre sent time, and all those who have attempted imitation of him have failed signally. The sound of the true from the false metal has in no case of attempted counterfeits been more distinguishable.' For buoyancy of spirit, such 'as might be owned by s creature made of quick silver, for gentlemanly ease, for cool assurance, and for rattling volubility, he has no rival. There are some characters with which Mr. Charles Mathews has iden tified himself so completely that they can only live and will die with him. Look at his Sir Chas. Coldstream, in " Used Up ;" see that air cf ennui which marks the walk, the action, the speech ; and contrast these with his performance in the second act, where we find him roughing it as a countryman, erjaying his homely fare, revelling in the fur, of the situation ; mark the merry twinkle of his eye, and the look lie wears when listen ing to the reading of his will. Can anything be more different and yet more in keeping with the same cha racter ? Or, take him in " The Game of Speculation," where, as Mr. Affable Hawk, be is to be seen on the • verge of ruin, battling with all his energy to keep clear of the edge of the prec.pice ; mark with what avidity he seizes upon every scheme, and, as each bubble bursts, how eagerly his mind forms new plans and fancies new spheres of action. His hope at finding a prize in a rich son-in-law—his dismay at findinr, that prize a blank— his subterfuge as to his partaer return, and his asto• nishment at finding he has returned —are points which all who have seen can testify to their being truly great. Green-room historians tell that this piec e was w r i tte n in thirteen hours and produced after two rehearsals—a won derful piece of unrehearsed stage business, but one not to be risked without peril. Who that has ever-heard his Captain Patter in " Patter versus Clatter," has not felt astonished at the unceasing rattle of words rushing from the tongue at "Fast train, high pressure, express" speed, yet no one word is lost, the articulation being always clear, always distinct? Who that has seen, by the mere altering the position of a wig, boviornitaculous a change takes place, will deny him the rraiso of a first class mime? The features are no longer the same ; the whole man has changed-4ace, figure, voice ; yet it is Charles Mathews, for he has never left the stage. Or, to specify something of a higher order, recollect his Sir Fretful Plagiary and Puff in "The Critic ;" who would suppose that the old man in old-fashioned suit, with old fashioned habits to match, by turns pettish, snappish, and Passinuato r cassia .be the same man who suddenly ,daelles on the stage in modern dress, with- white kid gloVe and flowers in 'the button-hole I It is as if the • wand of • some harlequin had brought about the change, and not the hands - of a.'" iiiuTESI dresser. ° At ib aspect so in acting are the two parts dissimilar. It would be inip-)ssible to count a tithe of the pieces in which Mr. Charles Mathews, like an Atlas, hag supported the whole burden of the story— how he has carried the audience away, through dull or light dramas, on the wings of his never-flagging spirits. " Cool as a Cucumber," "Practical Man," "An Appeal to the Public," " Aggravating Sam," may he named as illus trating these remarks. Did the fashion of the times permit some of the come dies being acted we should be at a loss to find a better representative of Charles Surface, Doricourt, You.ng Rapid, and all those fops, scapegraces, and good fellows (who are good for nothing) who used to keep the come dies of the past century alive by their airy impudence, than - Mr. Charles Mathews. his Dazzle in "London Assurance' will song be recollected. Nor is this all. Mr. ' 1 Charles Mathews claims a few passing words as author and manager. In4he former character be has often ap peared with success, as " My Wife's Mother," " The Ringloves," " The Dowager," " Little Toddlekins," will testify. They are all sparkling, neat, witty, kept a-going with stage tact. As a manager he had toiled on through difficulties (how made is not here the question), reaping nought but anxiety, loss of time, and that for which we all labour—money. But what care the public for all these things so long as they owe delightful even ings to such talent as he can display, and call forth ap plause from those who surrounded hies ; to the magnifi cence with which he dresses and decorates the banquet which he set before them ? That better days may come for him, that he may rise above all the difficulties which have beset his path, and make for himself a happy old age, is a wieh in which all his admirers and friends, and they are rnyr:ad, will cordially join.--Daily INNS OF COURT:- The following is a prospectus of the lectures to be de• livered during the eupuing Michaelmas Educational Term by the several Readers appointed by the Inns of Court : CONSTITUTIONAL LAW AND LEGAL HISTORY.

The first meeting of each private class will take place on the usual morning or evening of meeting next after the first public lecture on the same subject. Mr. E..T. Smith having secured the services of Mr. and Mrs. Keeley for his short season before Christmas, is about to employ their laughter-moving powers to the best advantage in a new burlesque upon Pizarro--in which Mrs. Keeley will perform Rolla to her husband's Pizarro. The announcement of this intended perfor mance is so whimsical as to be worth notice beyond the ordinary run of playbills. It is as follows e PIZARRO. A SPANISH ROLEA-KING PERUVIAN DRAMA, IN ONE ACT. The success which usually attends a well-written and well-acted burlesque can leave no doubt that public taste approves that description of entertainment. In compliance, therefore, with an opinion of my own, and a suggestion of the author, we have sought for a fresh chapter in the pages of bombast, which may combine with the revival of a play appertaining to a period of gree's interest and little princi ple, much that is undoubted.' s y novel and amusing. Heretofore the subjects have been chosen from the creep tien of one Mr. Wm. P;nakspeare • in the present instance I have selected the well-known d " r ama of Pizarro," for the purpose of exemplifying many of the performances and exhibitions ci Pere, at the time when the people found out that ' s h e Sp an iards wore down upon 'em. The discovery of the, "Western Hemisphere by Kitty Columbus (perhaps the most hair-brained exhibition of the great lengths to which adventurers will sometimes go, in the aunals of com mercial enterprise) o p ene d a wa y to a good many places up to that time unknown, and numerovs successors of the illustrious pion eer penetrated region after region of the vast continent, eager in the search of what they could get. Europe recei wed the startling intelligence, " by our own Correspondent," that Mexico and Peru teemed with mil lions of all fear ts , and no ends of gold-fields. While Nature appeared to rev( 1 in various ways, according to the aspect you took of her, the land abounded: with precious gems and metals to such 1 ,n extent that the gold was actually trod den under foot in the dust. It was this discovery that originated the a veil-known behest, so often made, and so seldom complier t with, of " C omo d own w i t h t h e dust." Indeed it is beli eyed that the streets of the city of Peru would have bees i paved with gold, but th a t th e p eo ple at the time of the drama were aove the weakness of pave ments of any kit ad. In placing upon the stage former spec tacles, I have as; ailed myself of anybody's discoveries that wore appropriat o, and have laid my hands upon anything useful I could gt •t. I have adopted precisely the same course on the pa esent occasion.

TffE NATIONAL LIFE-BOAT INSTITUTION AND SHIPWRECKED MARINERS' SOCIETY. These two societies have, within the last two or three years, made great exertions respectively to I ucrease their usefulness along the coasts. Indeed, the National Life boat Institution has incurred a debt of upwards of 3,0001. in its efforts to augment tie number of its life-boat esta blishments on the shores of the United - Kingdom. A correspondent of the Nautical Magazine thus ingeniously propoves to relieve both institutions, He says : "Leaving to others to act according to their several op portunities, I have taken some pains lately to iv-rive at the amount of tonnage owned and sailed by yachtsmen. in Great Britain. I can give names and particulars of nearly 1,200 yachts, and the proportion of each rig, viz. : 250 schooner yachts, averaging about 60 tons 15,000 tons. 1,000 cutters „ 17 17, 000 PP PP _ PP 60 yawls Gluggers 7 sloops 2 wherries 6 stoam-yachts „ 35 ;; 2;100 500 „ . 800„ 70 .... 1,000 ~ 36,470 tons. "This enormous amount of yacht tonnagt 3, contributing 6d. a ton, would yield 9001. for ono year, be ides additional subscriptions, to which those contributions, when known, might give rise. In three or four years the : National Life boat Institution might pay off all its debts, amounting to 3,0001., from this source alone. I propose, • therefore, that the sister societies make v. joint appeal to pm 3htemen.

If all subscribed, thest farthings would amount to nearly 4,000 1 . for one year. *This, with what might reasotiably be expected from shippii i g societies, each contributing its mere trifle, would raise such an amount as would do more real good than the public—ignorant of the actual working of these societies—wo - aid believe ; aud, what is more important, would, before t be winter, enable the whole system to be put in more ;perfect working order." _~ ~;a,:~ ERZEROUM, Aua. 16. On the Gth inst. the fortress of Kars was re stored by the Russians to the Turks, and, as this event derives special interest and importance from being the closing scene of the war, some account of it beyond the dry official report will perhaps be ac ceptable to the public. I should observe that the Gth bad been fixed for the occasion some time previously at a personal conferono between the Mushir Ismail Pasha and Colonel Lorismelikoff, Governor and Commandant. of Kars, who to do the greater honour to his late enemy repaired himself with a brilliant staff to Erzeroum for the purpose, whence he returned to Kars on the 2:1 inst._ _ On the 3d ho was followed by three British officers—viz., Major Peel, Major Fraser, and Mr. Evans, 9th Lancers, who came as the representa tives of the country and army to which they be low!. It was my good fortune to bejoinedwith them in this interesting duty, and, having taken an active part with them in the whole proceeding, all the particulars here narrated came within range of my own observation. On reporting our arrival to the Governor, every attention was immediately shown that respect and hospitality could suggeSt ; General Boutilotf in iisted upon giving up his room for our accommo dation ; we were pressingly invited to dine with the Goversor every day during our stay ; were placed at our disposal, and a Cosael: - e;,:cort told off to attend upon us. These civilities, which policy, if not a better mo tive, would have dictated, were perhaps, in some measure intended to repay the friendly reception which Lorismelikolf andsuite experienced from the officers of the British staff on the OCCASiOD of his re: cent visit to Erzerodm. But I would not attach, much value to this remark, for since the establish rent of peace the meeting of British and Russia 11 officers in these parts has in every instance been characterised by feelings worthy of gallant gentle men and soldiers. On the 4th we visited the scene of the bloody fight of the 29th of Sept., being accompanied by a Cossack officer, who was engaged in that memor able struggle. His account of the whole affair was clear and circumstantial ; lie related every inci dent, and pointed out every spot of special inte rest ; and it was impossible not to admire the com posure—d_ may say the stoicism—with which he thus detailed for our information the particulars of as signal a defeat as his country - men sustained throughout the war. The ridiculous will always tread upon the sub lime ; the absurd will not be scared even from a battle-field. Here it attached itself to the person of one of our party—a robust John Bull, who, got up in his best staff uniform, was obliged by some whimsical chance to ride in a Cossack saddle on a litle ragged restiff horse ; nothing but his innate horsemanship enabled him to hold on with his knees doubled up at angle of 45 de , r. Such an exhibition would prove irresistible at Astley's, still it failed to disturb the gravity of our solemn Mentor. On the sth we dined at the Russian camp with Gen. Kruloff, who invited a large party of his friends to meet us ; toasts were the order of the day, and. Gen. Williams's health was drunk three times three with enthusiastic cheers, in which the troops, who had gathered in force round the tent, joined to the full stretch of their voices. After dinner, which was over at three o'clock, there was a parade for all hands. We had an op portunity of witnessing some beautiful Cossack drill, and then went down the ranks of the infantry. ' In stature the men were below the average height, but they were well appointed and drilled. The Russian camp, .I should observe, is about four miles from Kars, on the road to Gumri, and com prises about 5,000 men all all arms.' At an early hour on the 6th we started with our Cossack escort to meet the Turkish troops, who were marching in under the command of Hus sein. Pasha. They consisted of two battalions of infantry, two companies of Chasseurs, one troop of Lancers, and two guns—the force which, until further orders, is to constitute the gar tison of Kars, joining them a few miles from the town, we accompanied them for the remainder of their march in, and tell it not in Gad), on the way Hussein Pasha was glad t) learn a few hints as to the manner in which lie was to act his part. Approaching the fortress we Lund the Russian infantry, under Lorismelikoff,' formed in line to receive us, outside the works, on the Erzeroum-road. At the distance of about 10 yards from them the Turkish column halted, and de ployed into line, parallel to and facing the Russians. General salutes were exchanged, after which the lines broke into contiguous columns of sections, and marched side by side into the fortress. The Turkish flag was hoisted on the citadel, salutes were fired, the Russian guard and sentries were relieved by Turks, and the old fortress was once more in possession of its former owners. There was no cheering, no expression of popular feeling ; but the whole affair was as inanimate and formal as can well be conceived. During the short time the Russian and Turkish troops were drawn up face to face we were struck with the superibr personnel of the latter ; in every other respect the advantage was with the former. At 9 a.m. on the following morning the Mushir arrived ; either personal feeling or national eti quette forbade his entering the fortress until it had been evacuated by the Russians ; lie rode without any display into the town, and retired at once to the quarters which had been provided for his re ception. We went out several miles to meet him, accompanied by our band of faithful Cossacks, who, plain as they were in dress and appointments, con trasted most favourably as soldiers with the gaudy troop of Baski-Bazonkm that escorted hisExcelleucy. We all met by appointment, en grande tenue, at three o'clock, the Mushir accompanied by a host of Turkish officers, and Lorismelikoff with all his staff, each party being attended by a mounted escort. Filing through the narrow streets, we pro ceeded to the Russian camp, where a grand review had been ordered in honour of the Mushir, On clearing the heights of Karadagh we were met by General Kruloff and staff. Between the two chiefs there was no lack of outward cordiality, and on taking their place in front they headed the pro cession the rest of the way. All along the road the Cossacks and Bashi-Ba zouks kept up a constant succession of mock skir mishes and, single combats, ,in which each party made the best display of his peculiar tactics. The superior adroitness of the Cossack was, however, conspicuous, both in horsemanship and the use of his weapons. Some of their feats were astonishing. Just fancy a man, when closely pursued by his adversary, at full speed, disappearing over his horse's side, and, holding on by the heel, leaving nothing but the sole of a buskin as a mark 1 His wily little horse, thoroughly trained to all those manoeuvres, or rather seeming to exercise an inde pendent intelligence of its own, carries him safely out of harm's way, and soon after he reappears on the offensive when and where least expected. These skirmishes threatening more than once to exceed the limits of mere display, it was deemed advisable to recall the parties to the ranks. An hour's riding brought us to the camp where we found the whole Russian force paraded in marching order. The Mushir was received with a general salute and rounds of cheers (not exactly the British cheer), after which, breaking into open columns, the troops marched past—the infantry in; slow time, the Cossacks at the gallop. And here again these astonishing horsemen treated us tc some specimens of their India-rubber performances. While at full speed some would spring from the stirrups to a standing position in the saddle-tree, others would bend down out of sight ; they writhed and twisted about, backwards, forwards, and side ways, after a fashion that, I think, would astonish your stately giant at the Horse Guards, while, at the same time, they rent the air with yells and screams of most unearthly discoid. May the for tune of war defend me from such enemies The review over, we proceeded to the tent of General Kruloff, where a magnificent banquet was ready spread, and we spent the remainder of the day and a great part of the night too in a course of feasting and drinking which, perhaps, it would be as well not to describe too minutely. It was a day of festivity for all. As long as there was light the soldiers engaged in coarse comedies, one personat ing to admiration the character of a lady of the camp. When darkness set in these amusements wore succeeded by fireworks. Within the tent all wasgood fellowship. Cham pagne flowed without stint. Healths were drunk with uproarious applause, the Sultan, our Queen, Napoleon, the Emperor, Mouraveiff, Williams, &c. ; and at last the fraternisation was carried to such a degree of warmth that it could be expressed only by embraces. My English friends were the special objects of these caresses ; and it was amus ing to witness the fervour with which these men of broad shoulders and bearded faces were hugged and kissed by our loving friends. We slept that night at the camp, in the tout of a general officer which bad been kindly vacated for DEVONPORT—Wznicrsver. The Duke of Wellington, 131, screw, Capt.

REFUSAL OF CABIN ACCOMMODATION TO THE ASSISTANT SURGEON OF HER MA JESTY'S SHIP CRUISER, AT PORTSMOUTH. When the Admiralty memorandum, constituting as sistant surgeon ward-room officers, appeared, upwards of 12 months ago, we expressed a somewhat confident hope that the chaise which assigns cabins to the officers in question, " whenever the service will admit," would be acted upon in a liberal spirit by all officers entrusted with the command of her Majesty's ships. We had fondly imagined that ail ground for complaint sin this score had ceased for ever in the service. It is, therefore, with some serious pain that we hear the as sistant surgeon appointed to her Majesty's ship Cruiser [ has been told there is no cabin for him in that vessel. It l is in no spirit of cavil, or with any feeling otherwise than for the welfare of the service, that we call the attention of the Admiralty to this case, in the hope that their lord. ships will ascertain whether the obstacles to the proper accommodation of this officer are not capable of being removed. There is no use in blinking a question, and we there fore do not hesitate to call upon Rear-Admiral Richards, who, we believe, has charge of the medical department, to see that justice is done in this case. LAND TRANSPORT CORPS. Last night the third aggregate meeting of the non commissioned officers and men of the above corps was held at the Central Committee-house, the Eight Bells, Ironmonger-row, St. Luke's, for the purpose of forwarding the movement which has been commenced for obtaining a satisfactory recognition of theirjust claims by the Government. Mr. Serjeant Reardon in the The room was densely crowded. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business, said he was very proud to see such a numerous meeting, which was indicative of future success. They only sought to ob tain what they had fairly and justly earned ; and he would ask them, were they content to pursue the object —(cries of " Yes, yes")—or to be made the scapegoat of the Government. .(No, no.) They had been treated in the Crimea as soldiers, for unfortunately some of them bad received the lash. Therefore if they were soldiers, and the Government had used them as long as they wanted them, and now wanted them no longer, they were at any rate entitled to a soldier's discharge. Reso lutions would be proposed in referenoe to their discharge, their gratuity, and clothing. in reference to their clothing, he would ask them if they ever before heard of a soldier beitg charged 11. for a pair of trousers, for they well knew that the highest price ever charged to a soldier in the line was 12s. 4d. Then they were charged 9s. 4d. for a pair of shoes which could be pur chased anywhere in London for 4s. 6d. They had been most hardly treated ; for while the German Legion had been well cared for, those men who had left their situa tions and broken up their homes to go out to the Crimea in the service of their country, had been altogether ne glected. He did not know where the fault rested— whether it was with Lord Panmure or those under him, but the claims of the men had not been settled, nor had they received any compensation for clothing, to which they were justly entitled. He hoped they would all unite together to obtain an acknowledgment of their rights. Several resolutions were then put and carried, much to the same purport as those already reported in this journal in the proceedings of a former meeting, to the effect that they required a proper and legal discharge, compensation for clothing, and a gratuity of three months' pay. After several speeches bad been made, stating the hardships the Land Transports Corps had ungergone, thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meeting dissolved. TVSTIMONTAL TO Ma.

About ten days since, late in the evening, two persons, male and female, in exterior a lady and gentleman, drove up to the Clarendon Hotel . at Birmingham. They had with them a large quantity of luggage, and after they had remained for some time, intimation was given to Mr. Herrison, the landlord, that the lady's son and brother would soon arrive and take up their abode. Pesently afterwards two gentlemen made their appearance, one of whom represented himself as Mr. Wyndham, a member of the firm of Vivian and Company, Great Bennett place, Fenchurch-street, and agents of the Queen of Oude. Immediately upon the arrival of the last pair, the first two made arrangements to depart, first calling for their bill ; but on doing this, Mr. Wyndham said, " Ob, never mind the bill ; it can be included in my ac count." Falling in with this suggestion, the lady and gentleman departed. The next day paragraphs appeared in the papers, announcing that the Queen of Oude and suite were about to visit Birmingham, and that Mr. Wyndham, their representative, had arrived to make arrangements. Communications were opened with the Mayer, and his worship, anxious to do suitable honour to his august visitors, postponed a pre -arranged visit to Paris order that he might be present to receive his guests— sable, but feminine and royal—next Monday. A. mag nificent snite of apartments was engaged at the Queen's Hotel, and at some of the principal manufactories inti mation was given, through the agency of the indefatigable Wyndham, that a visit from the illustrious Asiatics might be expected. Yesterday it was discovered that the Mayor, the chief of the police, and a lot of other clever people, had been very prettily sold. Mr. George Richmond Collis, the proprietor of large electro-plating works, applied to Mr. Kynnersley, the stipendiary magi strate, for a warrant against Wyndham, who has made a somewhat abrupt departure from his hotel, after run ning up a bill amounting to more than 151., which be forgot to pay, leaving only a couple of shirts and some luggage even less valuable behind him. Mr. Collis stated that he had relied upon the information be had received from Mr. Stephens, the chief of police, as to Mr. Wyndham being really what he pretended to he ; he invited the latter to dinner, who took with him a couple of friends, and in the course of the converation thereafter Mr. Wyndham suggested what he (Mr. Collie) should do to make the Queen of Oude's visit agreeable. Amongst other things he mentioned that a medal should be struck in commemoration of the ecea sion. Subsequently Mr. Collis introduced Mr. Wynd ham to Mr. Scholefield, M.P., and other highly respect able persons. On Monday money matters caraii to be talked of. Mr. Wyndham asked Mr. Collis if he would cash a cheque for 201. on his London bankem- for he said, " I have been living rather freely lately, or I should not trouble you. It is rather impudent in me to prefer such a request, but perhaps you will excuse the liberty, and do me the favour." Mr. Collis had, howev6r, been caught far enough, anything but cash the cheque ; he, however, consented to lend 51. A misgiving as to the character of his visitor at the same moment rushing into his mind, he communicated with his London agents, and soon ascertained by telegraph that no one bad any authority to make arrangements for the reception of her Oudean Majesty in Birmingham. Further, that she had no intention of travelling, and that Mr. Wyncl• ham was no representative of hers. This was from the immediate attendants upon the Queen. Having received this piece of information, Mr. Collis had Nothing more to do than to procure the assistance of the police, who are generally very clever—(in Bir mingham, at least)---when a plot is all unravelled. The arrest of Mr. Wyndham was sought, but he was too acute for policemen ; he had quitted the Clarendon Hotel abruptly, and search having been fruitless so far a warrant for his apprehension was applied for; the charge being obtaining money under false pretences. The magistrate said that the necessary steps would be taken to comply with Mr. Collie's application ; but Mr. Wyndham's whereabouts has not yet been ascertained. DBURY-LANE THEATRE. was I the Basque country is by Marrac and Aistarits. The chateau of Marrac is now a ruin, but it hrs lost nothing of its historic interest. It was under its roof that Napoleon I. began to execute his pro jects against Spain. It was there that the great political drama was performed in which the princi pal actors, after himself; were Charles IV. ; his Queen Maria Lanisa, her raraanour Manual Godoy, and their unworthy son, the Prince of the Astu rias, afterwards Ferdinand VII. It was there that Joseph Bonaparte received the fatal gift of the Clown of Spain and the• Indies ; and it was from those gates that the " Royal Wittol" and his depraved Queen departed for Compiegne, with such consolation as a yearly allowance of 30,000,000 of mats could afford, and their unnatural eon was sent to Valencay with 1,000,000 f., as the price of his dishonour. And, finally, it was there that Napoleon himself prepared the invasion of Spain by his armies, and which before long he had reason to regret bitterly. The present occupant of the Im perial throne of France must, as he passed before it, have regarded with -curiosity a monument so suggestive of instruction and of warning ; 'and the sight of those decayed walls and that deserted do main may have confirmed him in the resolaion he has more than once expressed of not repeating the Wilts committed by hi icicle, whatore'r errors he himself' may fan into. ` .Clio clhateau o f \larrac was a suburban residence, in all agiTecallie situation, and with ! , :rounds well wooded and down to the ufthe 1•11ve. 1 t 11:11 11,) tlia4 ki II roN id,- ro cy, iL; I; gave it. But it did not long survive that honour. Its de struction by fire soon after Napoleon quitted it seemed like the prelude of the conflagration which broke out in Spain when the unconquerable spirit of her people was stirred up against the invader ; and it foreshadowfd the desolation in which his wonderful career was doomed to close. Should the demon of conquest ever tempt the Sovereign of France, a glance at the blackened ruins of Marrac might nerve as a lesson and a warning. (Jambe is the Biarritz of the mountain. It affords during the spring and autumn seasons the plea sure and the benefit which aro to be found at Biar ritz during the summer months. Its mineral waters, ferruginous and sulphurous, issue from beneath wooded rocks ; and the numerous Totivo Offerings suspended to the roof of its church area pious tes- timony to their salutary power. The air Of its val ley is soft and genial, and it attracts the Visitor the moment the first rays of the sun have tempered the rigour of winter. Upper Cambo stands on a lofty terrace, at the foot of which spreads out the valley in a circular form, bounded on the opposite side by an amphitheatre of verdant heights rising in grace ful lines behind each ,other ; while the surface of the ground itself, level as a bowling-green, is covered with meadows and fields of Indian corn, through which the' silvery waters of the Nile wind along. The old village of Lower Cambo lies at the opposite extremity, but is almost concealed from view in the shadow of a wooded eminence. A tew detached houses appear here and there on the mea dows close to the bank of the stream, half con cealed by a curtain of willows and poplars, or rising ou the summit and declivities of the hills, amid. thick foliage. The small church stands outside the village, in the centre of what seems, at a distance, to be a garden covered with flowers, but which is the public cemetery, called in the dialect of the country leherri, or the region of the dead. it is customary with the Basque population to visit Catnbo, as well as Biarritz, once in the year, and with a certain degree of solemnity. It is on the eve of St. John that the incursion takes place, and crowds of pilgrims flock fromvalley and Mountain to its waters. The pilgrimage lasts 24 hours ; it is ac companied by dancing, and those shrill cries which so often before awoke the echoes of those hills are incessant. The Basquo mountaineer deems it an obligation to drink the mineral waters of Cambo ouce a year, as wall as to bathe in the sea at Biar ritz : and their great ablution takes place on the Sunday following the Assumption. Fortified with copiouS draughts of the mineral within, and the salt water oy Biarritz externally, the Basque fears uo evil that flesh is heir to, except it may be the blow of a cudgel from a rival, or a bullet from the musket of the Custom-house officer. Friday was not wholly favourable to - the nape rial visitors. As they were on the way to the gorge of the Pas d 6 Roland, where the redoubtable Paladin opened-with his battle-axe a passage in the .mountain for the knights who followed his banner, the party was overtaken by a shower of rain—such a shower as falls in those mountains. They had time, however, to adiniro the picturesque scenery, and oven to enjoy a reptst in the open air. They returned in the evening to Biarritz. The grounds of the Imperial villa at Biarritz offer no shelter nor recreation. The house stands on a low barren spot, so close to the sea that When the wind is high the spray dashes against the win dows. An attempt at planting has been made, but the plants do not appear to prosper, and. the scant herbage hardly conceals the sandy soil on which it was sown. The palace is convenient for bathing, but it presents few advantages otherwise. For some days after the Emperor's arrival workmen were employed in stopping up the apertures through which the Water oozed into his private room. The Emperor's stay at this place will depend on the weather, which, until the last day or two, was very fine. A change, however, has occurred. High winds, a cloudy sky, and heavy and constant rain, do not allow any place to appear to advan tage, and Biarritz is not an exception. Many persons have 'already left, and others are leav ing daily, but their places are more than filled by new corners. The importance of this place has so Much increased in consequence of the railroad which now extends in an uninterrupted line from Paris to Bayonne, the establishment of pleasure trains from Bordeaux, and the presence of the Court during the summer months, that it is contemplated to con struct a tramway from Bayonne to Biarritz. The present uncomfortable conveyances and the extor tion attempted by some of the ordinary omnibus proprietors render such an improvement desirable. It will probably be carried out before the next sea son commences. The crowd of visitors has increased so much that the local paper has ceased publishing the lists. No previous season has been so success ful or so profitable to the town and neighbourhood as the present. From Spain there is no political news deserving of notice. With slight exceptions, the country is tranquil ; but the same uncertainty prevails as to the future policy and fate of the O'Donnell Minis try. The name of Narvaez is more frequently men tioned, and. the probability of his superseding the present Government is more generally discussed. A person who has been himself one of the principal victims of the last revolution admits that the Pro gresista party is for the present crushed, and it is difficult to assign a term for its resuscitation. The want of decision or rather of foresight on the part of Espartero is admitted by his best friends, though some assert that he is not so much to blame As is generally supposed. He appearsAlattever, to have lost all prestige even among the classes with whom he was most popular, and in the districts where his name was idolised he has completely fallen into discredit. General Gurrea and some others who figured in the late events, and who recently entered France as refugees, have, at the request of the Spanish Government, been sent to the interior. Their present destination is Bordeaux and Tours. Others who quitted Spaia on the overthrow of the Polaco Government may be Been still hovering near I the frontiek. It is stated that a petition 'lse been presented to the Lord Chancellor for winding up the affairs of the Royal British Rank. SUDDEN DEATH.—One, of the passengers by the Tamar, which arrived at Southampton on Saturday last, put up at Murray's boarding-house in that town. On Sunday night he called the landlord, and mentioned that he was unwell, and desired him to get a nurse to sit up with him. Mr. Murray left for a few minutes to give the necessary instructions, and when ho returned the stranger fell into his arms and expired. It was with some difficulty that it could he ascertained where hie friends resided. From his papers it was ascertained that he was a Mr. Delany, and that he was connected with the Pernambuco Railway. He had left Rio, where he had been stationed for the last six months, on account of ill health, but he evidently had no idea that death for him was so near until a few moments before he died, and then he was unable to state who he was or where his friends resided. CAPTURE OF Two MONSTER SHARKS.-0/1 Saturday morning the crew of a Portkneekie boat, fishing at Brca dt av en, towed on shore what they and many oth er s imagined to be the body of a respectably-sized whale . When first found it was alive, and entangled amongst their nets ; but its efforts to relieve itself were so feeble that f ble that it was evidently in the struggle s of death. It was sold for 2/. In the afternoon, however, some gentlemen who knew a little more of natural history than the first sight-seers who inspected the animal, declared that it was a basking shark, known by naturalists as the squalus maximus. Further investigation and examination of th animal confirmed this assertion, and. it is now believe d to be correct. The animal is about 30 feet long, an d was a very fine specimen. On Monday niet another crew caught another of the like species, and of much the Same size,-40e8M(40. iNta - Vl/ b AP PUBLICATIONS. second Edition, revised.—ln 2 'vols., withflnt portraits by Heath, 21s , bound, L IFE of MARGUERITE D'ANGOULEME, Queen of Navarre, Sister of Francis I.
