The above work contains most useful and interesting information on the physiological changes which occur in the Reproductive System during the periods of of yo t u h t a li t , puberty, and manhood ; and on the due attainment 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, an d how they can be recovered.

The Author is the only legally qualified practitioner whose name sta n d s on the Medical Register (the only true test of medical qualificalion), who has been exclu sively engaged for a series of years in the treatment of the variou functional di sorders of the nervous and reproductive system, which, owing, to the great discoveries of modern science, are rendered subservient to a rational, simple, and easy mode of treatment.

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. Courtenay 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. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought. to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular.

Shortly after the wind got up from E.N.E., accompanied by pouring rain, and con tinued to blow with increasing violence during the evening. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the night, ma n y t ownsmen were on th e b eac h until a late hour, who watched with anxiety the lights of the vessels appear and disappear in the seas. Be tween 10. and 11 the gale had become a hurricane, sweeping the roads with tremendous fury, the sea breaking along the beach in a terrific surf. At midnight the storm abated, and there was a tem porary lull, but about 3 a.m. it again got up, blow ing in furious gusts from the west. At daybreak this morning those who had been on the beach the previous night again visited it at early dawn, and as the dark outlines of the vessels showed in the gray light of morning, still riding ill safety where they had last been seen, many a heart was relieved of its anxious foreboding. No casualties are re ported, though several vessels were seen to proceed through the Roads last afternoon, tidings of which are awaited with anxiety. Some of our luggers and smacks arc also out and alarm will be felt for their safety until they are heard of. The barometer stands at 28 . 8, having fallen from 29.8 since the previous afternoon. At the hour of sending off our parcel the gale still rages with great fury, and shows no sign of abatement. LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY. On Monday night, while the gale was at its height the steam tug. Brother Jonathan took in tow the brig Euxine, of Hartlepool, Capt. Robertson, from Alexandria, laden with beans, off the Lytham shore. Soon after 8 o'clock, when a tremendous sea was running, the hawser broke, and Capt. Robertson re fused to have a new hawser supplied, saying he would let go his anchor and ride out the storm. No more was heard of her till Wednesday morning, when the ill-fated vessel was discovered on the Horse Bank, near Lytham, on her beam ends, and her crew is supposed to have perished. Yesterday morning a letter was received by Mr. T. Court, sec retary to the Underwriters' Association at Liver pool, of which the following is a copy :—" Fleet wood, Nov. 13,1861.—Dear sir,—The body oamn has been picked up in this district.

From the appearance of the body he seems to have been about 55 years of age, and does not appear to have been in the water above a day or two.

DICKENS' LIBRARY EDITION. himsical creations, by Aunt Betsy in erfri/d. Davidaut h oe s c The Kenwio;scs an d the Crumlleses. Miss Petowk - er and Miss Snevellicci. Mr. Lillyvick—the Water-rate Collector. Besides many othe rs unnecessary here to be enu merated. It will be sufficien,t for our purpose, however, if we take the merest " pick" of the world-famous personages introduced il.l the two other remarkable fictions already particularised. Remembering, in MARTIN CIILIZZZ LEWIT,—• Seth Pecksniff—the architect and arch-hypocrite. Tom Pinch—" dear Tom ! old friend!" Ruth—his pretty little sister. Mark Tapley and Mrs. Lupin. M. Todgero.-- wonder among boarding-house keepers. Bailey Junior—her boy in green baize, afterwards in boots and buckskins. - Old Chuffey and Betsy Prigg. Montague Tigg—otherwise Tigg Montague. Jonas-the murderer_ Mrs. Gamp —the monthly nurse. And, most wonder ful of all these creations—a dream within a dream— _ Mrs. ifarris—the mythical Mrs. Harris—product of Mrs. Gamp's own lively imagination. Finally—let there be remembered as among the choicest cusiosities trooping out of the OLD CURIO SITY SHOP— Dick Swiveller—that match Little Nell—dear, angel Nell. Boz Gallery. Sampson Brass—the attorney iless droll even in the of Bevis Marks. Sally—his sister—a sort of female hippogriff or legal hermaphrodite. Daniel Quilp—the little demon dwarf. The Nubbleses and the Wackleses. Kit (especially) and Barbara, sly little Barbara. The Poney Whisker, and the Marchionees. Short and Codlin, with their Punch's Show. Mrs.Jarley, and her Travelling Wax-works. Nelly'a Grandfather and the Poor Schoolmaster. No wonder that a wizard pen that can conjure into the semblance of reality individualities so distinct and life-like—no wonder, we say, that a pen that can accomplish such marvels with so much ease should have won for its wielder an innocent and delightful fame, as wide-spread and as secure as that of which Charles Dickens has been now for a quarter of a century in the happy and deserved en joyment. Yet, were, with the vezy itera tion oft f t a h t e ig a u p e p d l , au a s s e it thus cordially lavished upon Charles Dickens during this same quarter of a cen tury last past by his more grateful admirers, the chiefs of that venerable smellfungus race whose ancestors ostracised Aristides—whose favourite robe, must, without doubt, be a wet blanket, their aptest crest an extinguisher, and. their chosen motto Nil adnzirari—the leaders and champions of that ancient race have delighted of late years in exulting over, what they have insisted upon designating, the almost total extinction of all Mr. Dickens' powers as a humorist. Triumph antly pointing in proof of this to one after another of his latest fictions—more particularly to Dombey and Son, to Bleak House, and to Little Dorrit. Yet even here, the answer that can be at once given to them is, in its way, we maintain, perfectly conclu sive. Not that the three last-mentioned novels by Boz are without flaws—for flaws they have beyond one moment's question, and some of these, too, flaws of very considerable magnitude. But that it were, in spite of those blemishes, at once ungracious and ungrateful to the very last degree not to bear in remembrance, for example, that to DOMBEY AND SON we are indebted for Captain Cuttle — " the gentleman with the instru- ent." Major Bagstock—l. 8., Sir; Josh; Old Joe. Miss Tos and the Toodleses. Susan Nipper and Mrs. Pipchin. Mr. Dombey—the stiff-necked merchant. Dear Little Paul Dombey. Mr. Toots with his friends Diogenes and the Game Chicken. The Blimbers and the Macstingers. That to BLEAK HOUSE we owe the existence of Mr. Bucket—the Detective. Sir Leicester Dedlock, Baronet. _ Mr. Tulkinghorn—tLe fashionable Attorney. Mr. Guppy—the unfashionable attorney's clerk. Mr. Snagsby—the law stationer. Poor Jo-:--tlie Crossing-sweeper. Mr. Chadband—the oily Dissenting preacher. Mr. George of the Shooting Gallery. Phil Squod—his crab-like attendant. The Family of the Bagnets, headed by the Old Girl. Harold Skimpole and Mr. Boythorn. That to LITTLE DORRIT, again, we have reason to be thankful for— The Patriarch and the Tug. Flora and Mr. F's Aunt. The Plornishes and Little Mr. Nandy. Daniel Doyce, the Engineer. Sparkler —the Man Mount a in. _ _ Mr. Murdle—the Millionaire. And the whole Family of the Duras, together with all the various inhabitants of the old vanished • Marshalsea. Reverting to this noble edition, however—this last and best of all the different editions now pro curable of the Collected Writings of Charles Dickens—The Library Edition, adorned with the " original illustrations," we have only to describe it thus simply for 'w hat it is—to pronounce its fullest commendation. It is a more resplendent decora tion than any order of merit, than any badge of a Legion of Honour that could be accorded to a Great Author—his witnessing the issue from the press of precisely such an edition as this ! It seems for all the world, like the visible imprinting of the timbre of his popularity, during his own life-time, upon his reputation. It is like a foretaste of the applause of posterity. And it is precisely because we regard it as such, in this instance of Mr. Dickens, that we cannot but rejoice on his account at the reprint and republication of so really admirable an edition of his collected works. Since the four novels already specified, viz., " Pickwick," " Nicholas Nickleby," " The Old Curiosity Shop," and " Martin Chuzzlewit" have been completed by th e i ssue f rom t h e press o f th e eight leading volumes of this Library Edition, Illustrated—two other volumes, it may be men tioned, have also made their appearance. Simul taneously with the magazines for November, for example, there came into the hands of the sub scribers, in one goodly tome of 475 pages octavo, those carelessly dashed -off mervels of comicality, written by our novelist " when he was a very young man," and originally published when he was still " a very young man." " The Sketches by Boz" with all the old familiar illustrations from the pencil of George Cruikshank, Prior to this latest reissue of " The Sketches," the introductory volume of " Barnaby Rudge," had come into the possession of the subscribers : to be followed probably at the dawn of December with a second and concluding volume like that completing "The Old Curiosity Shop"—a volume, that is, eked out, as we have said, by a selection of further " Reprinted Pieces," the choicest specimens of Mr. Dickens' miscellaneous contributions to his own periodicals. Among the collection of these papers already presented to us, the collection, comprising some two-thirds of the eighth volume of this Illustrated Library Edition of Dickens—extending, as it does, from page 153 to page 435 inclusively—what charming specimens of Mr. Dickens, in his very hap piest manner, are to be found ! For example—did we want to demonstrate at once Mr. Dickens' powers in the truest sense of the words, as a Poet, how could we possible do this more conclusively than by directing attention to his exquisite allegory of Human Life (pp. 234-238), entitled "A Child's Story P" Did we wish to present to view in a com pact form his marvellous gifts as a humorist, we should illustrate their possession upon the instant by an extract or two from his account of " The Beg ging Letter Writer." " Our French Watering Place" again would afford the opportunity for more than one delightful example of Mr. Dickens' genius as a humorist—especially in the genial delineation of M. Loyal's character. A delineation,in the course of which, by the way, there is a casual misapprehen sion (it is in the middle of p. 193) of an expression employed by M. Loyal—meaning, in reality, a re ligious rite or ceremonial, here mistaken inciden tally for a mere phrase of idiomatic facetiousness. As a sort of counter-blast to Mr. Catlin's enthusiasm, the essay entitled " The Noble Savage," an argu ment, flashing throughout with irony, will be found by those who know it not already, something admi rable in its way. " Has ho ever improved a dog," asks our essayist, speaking of the noble savage, "or attached a dog since his nobility first ran wild in woods and was brought down (at a very long shot) by Pope ?"—meaning by the way, Dryden : the famous line hinted at, occurring in the first scene of the first act of "Glorious loin's" Conquest of Granada— " Ere the base laws of servitude began When wild in woods the noble savage ran!' Does anyone yet want an instant illustration of the perfectly wonderful power possessed by the genius of this incomparable writer of ours, the perfectly wonderful power possessed by Charles Dickens of extracting the exquisitely pathetic and the exqui sitely beautiful from haunts the foulest, the mean est, the most squalid that can be anyw her e recognised ? We satisfy this wish at once, very simply and very conclusively. How P By extracting this one brief but marvellously touching and lovely passage from the paper headed "A Walk in a Workhouse." THE NURSE OF THE ITCH WARD ! "In a room opening from a squalid yard, where a number of listless women were lounging to and fro, trying to get warm in the ineffectual sunshine of the tardy May morning —in the Itch Ward,' not to compromise the truth—a woman such as Hogarth has often drawn, was hurriedly getting on her gown before a dusty fire. She was the nurse, or wardswoman of that insalubrious department— hex self a pauper—flabby, rawboned, untidy—un promising and worn of aspect as need be. But on being spoken to about the patients whom she had in charge, she turned round, with her shabby gown half on, half off, and fell a-crying with all her might. Not for show, not querulously, not in any mawkish sentiment, but in the deep grief and affliction of her heart; turning away her dishevelled head, sobbing most bitterly, wringing her hands and letting fall abundance of great tears, that choked her utterance. What was the matter with the nurse of the Itch Ward? Oh, the dropped child was dead! Oh, the child that was found in the street, and she had brought up ever since, had died an hour ago, and see where the little creature lay, beneath this cloth ! The dear, the pretty dear ! " The dropped child seemed too small, and poor a thing for Death to be in earnest with, but Death had taken it; and already its diminutive form was neatly washed, composed, and stretched as if in sleep upon a box. I thought I heard a voice from Heaven saying, It shall be well for thee, 0 nurse of the itch ward, when some less gentle pauper does those offices to thy cold form, that such as the dropped child are the angels who behold my Father's face I" Enough, It is a perfect Master of our Tears no less than of our Laughter that we hail in Charles Dickens—the creator of Old Weller and Little Nell, of Paul Dombey and Dick Swiveller! It is as the very beat of all the col lective editions of the works of a Humorist whose genius is of this ample range, that we ac cord a welcome thus earnest to this latest reprint of the writings of Boz. ILLUSTRATED. Already, four of the most celebrated and popular fictions of our great novelist have made their ap pearance in this magnificent edition of his writings. Among all the various editions yet published this is incomparably the very best. The original edi tions must always, of course, if but for old asso ciation's sake, remain to the last especial favou rites with us ! Those ever-memorable guinea editions, issued in monthly shilling numbers, and only bound into substantial volumes upon their completion. Who has not a kindness for them ? a genuine affection even for the mere remembrance of those two green leaves put forth month after month—each serial in its turn weaving a garland for the Great Humorist, more delightful, and ver dant, and perennial than all the bay-wreaths that were ever babbled about or hankered after by the old poets ? If it were possible to have these works printed in gold upon vellum by Delarue, and illu minated by the gorgeous brush of Owen Jones, and bound by Hayday in pink morocco, glorified by a web-work of gilt tooling in arabesques—we can't help thinking we should still have a side long preference somehow for the old type and the old illustrations ! Hawever—better than all the morocco, and vellum and gilding in the world (of letters), • here, in this noble Library Edition of Charles Dickens (Illustrated) is really and truly one of those tte plus ultra editions of a great author that leave one absolutely nothing in reason to de sire for it in the way of improvement. Excellent paper, admirable type, and—as a pleasant reminis cence of the old green-leaved numbers the original illustrations. As we have said, Four of the most remarkable of these world-famous fictions have already been com pleted since this last and best re-issue of Mr. Dickens' writings began some nine months ago—volume by volume appearing since then punctually with the magazines. Pickwick is here—leading off, as it has in every way a right to do, all the various and ini mitable works of our incomparable Boz. Nwholas Nickleby comes immediately afterwards. Martin Chuzzlewit is then, like the rest of them, laid before us, complete in two volumes. Here also, ranged side by side with its companions, may be recog nised The Old Curiosity Shop. Eight handsome volumes altogether comprize within them these four masterpieces—the second volume of the " Old Curiosity Shop," a work not of course, it will be remembered, of the same length with its predeces sors, being very agreeably eked out by what are simply entitled, in the table of contents, " Re printed Pieces," namely, some one- and-thirty papers of a miscellaneous character, selected from Mr. Dickens' anonymous but unmistakeable contribu- tions to his own two weekly periodicals. It has often occurred to us that, far more vividly than any analysis could possibly do, a simple enume ration of the dramatis persona peopling the fictions of a great master in Imaginative Literature, would account for the potency of his fame and for the diffu sion of his popularity. The reasonableness of this impression might readily enough be evidenced by the selection of any work of this character of esta blished reputation, from the first novel that was ever written, or at any rate that has been preserved for us from the old classic times, meaning The Golden Ass of Apuleius, down, let us say, to the last and not by any means the least admirable Great _Expectations. We might illustrate our meaning again very readily from the picturesque narratives of Le Sage or of Boccaccio. We might give as an excellent "case in point" the epitome of the imaginary creatures whose lives and deaths constitute the interest of any one of the famous stories related, let us say, by Walter Scott or by Henry Fielding. Bat the notion here put forth could not, by any possibility whatever, secure to itself a more admirable oppor tunity for its realisation, than by our availing our selves of the very instance now immediately under our notice. Of all the World's Novelists, Charles Dickens is one of the very first and foremost. Here is an imaginative writer gifted with the very rarest original genius. A genius that for years and years past has demonstrated its perfect mastery over our tears and our laughter. No author has ever during his own life enjoyed so wide a popularity. No writer has ever had so many readers among his contemporaries. His Romance, more than any other romancist's that we wet of, has taken to itself the substance of Reality. He is the great Realistic Writer of his age. In the minuteness of his touch he is the Pre•Raphaelite of the Pen—only thatunlike the Pre-Raphaelites of the Pencil he has that exqui site tact, and taste, and instinctive sense of the to kalon that (with all his wonderful appreciation of the grotesque) his preference ever (whenever the choice hangs trembling in the balance) decides in favour of the True and the Beautiful. Here in Charles Dickens iu fact is an imaginative writer whose books have won for themselves and their author a popularity unsurpassed either in depth or in diffusion, in the hold it has gained upon each individual reader's heart, and in its wide and ample distribution among all ranks and classes of the general multitude. The characters, the thoughts, the merest quips and cranks, the casual whims and oddities of this famous writer have now —increasingly during this last quarter of a century —though he himself is as yet but in the prime of his manhood—been, so to speak, permeating his age, until many of them,it is not extravagant to say it, have long since come to be part and parcel of the language. It cannot, therefore, but be matter of interest, to any thoughtful observer, to obtain, by any reasonable means that may be suggested, a vivid notion (through one or two rapid retrospective glances) of one of the sources of this amazing in fluence, of one of the secrets of this immense popu larity. And no readier means occurs to us—to wards this end—than the very , simple and easily appreciable one we have but just now indicated. Namely, by rapidly enumerating the extraordinary diversity of original creations peopling one or other of his delightful masterpieces. Giving, that is, the dramatis persona of one fiction after another. For example there is—PicKwicK—where, among a crowd of other whimsical personages, we meet with the following exquisitely humorous characters : Mr. Pickwick himself—that " angel in tights !" Mr. Tupman—the "too suceptible Tupman." Mr. Snodgrass—the poetic Snodgrass. Mr. Winkle—the type of all Cockney Sportsmen. Old Weller—the model Stage Coachman. Sam Weller—the paragon of Footmen. Old Wardle—the Jovial Country Gentleman. Alfred Jingle—the eccentric scamp. Job Trotter—his humble canting accomplice. Mr. Perker—the dapper little attorney.

The heavy rain which fell incessantly through out Wednesday was accompanied towards evening by another fearful gale, which in violence, as regis tered by the anemometer at Lloyd's, exceeded those which raged on the last and previous Sunday. The gale set in about 8 o'clock from the northward and eastward, and after midnight shifted round to the westward. It was at its greatest height between 11 and 12 o'clock, when the wind-gauge showed a pressure of 161 b. to the square inch. As the morn ing advanced the wind blew in heavy squalls, with rain, from all points of the compass. The accounts posted by the meteorological department of the Board of Trade yesterday morning showed that the range of the gale extended from Portsmouth to Aberdeen. An intimation has been received to the effect that another storm may be expected to sweep the northern part of the United Kingdom about Tuesday next, and the usual notice has been for warded to the harbour authorities in order that shipmasters and fishermen may be warned. The returns received at Lloyd's show that the gale of Wednesday evening told with serious effect on various points of the coast. Even the seagoing steamers which had made the entrance of the Thames could not make their way up the river through the storm, so heavy was the wind and gale, and brought up in the Lower Hope and other reaches until daylight and the weather moderated. Two American ships lying off Gravesend drove from their moorings and came in collision. The Dubliq, London and Bordeaux steamer, had a narrow escape of being lost on the Margate sands. She was on her return passage from the Thames, when she encountered the bad weather and went upon the sands. Fortunately, she got off, but in a very leaky condition, and in the course of yesterday morning was assisted into Ramsgate harbour. A telegram from Hartlepool states that the gale raged with terrible fury on that district of the coast. It burst forth in the early part of the evening from the north-east, and gradually increased as the night advanced. Three ships are reported to have driven on Shantou sands, near Hartlepool, during the height of the storm, and were lost; and another ill fated vessel foundered with all hands. The name of the latter vessel is not known, but she is supposed to have been a coaster. The other ships were the brigs Forsyth and Concordia, of Shields, and the William, of Hull. SHIELDS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON. Yesterday afternoon, the following message was received here from Admiral Fitzroy, " London, Wed nesday, Nev. 13, at 3 30 p.m., hoist drum,—Robert Fitzroy." The explanation of which is, dangerous winds may be expected from nearly opposite quar ters successively. At the time the message was re ceived (4 o'clock in the afternoon) the barometer was at 29 68, and the thermometer at 45. During the course of Wednesday the weather had a very ominous look. The sun rose in a fog, and with a large ring round it. At noon the fog cleared away, and in the afternoon we had what the sailors term a mackerel sky, followed by the wind chopping round, towards nightfall, from the S.S.W. to the N.N.E., bringing up large fleecy clouds from the sea, indicative of an approaching strong wind from the east. The night kept tolerably fine until the clocks were chiming midnight, when a storm of wind and rain burst on the coast from the N.E., and with short lulls it has been increasing in violence since, the wind continuing in that direction. The sea is rising rapidly on the coast, and from the manner that small craft are making for the harbour bad weather is being experienced out at sea. The Bri tannia steamship and about half a dozen small ves sels have reached this port to-day. Yesterday fore noon about half a dozen small collier vessels sailed hence for London ; others of a smaller tonnage were ready, but it is stated that their masters, from the appearance of the weather, refused to go out to sea. There is a large fleet of colliers lying in the Tyne ready for sea. The collier vessels that left the Tyne the night bef ore the gale of the 2d of this month, and have not since been heard of, were the Friend's Good-will, of North Shields (not Whitby, as before reported) ; the William and Thomas, of South Shields; the Stella, of North Shields; the Persever ance, of Scarborough; and the Emma of Staiths. Not very far short of 40 hands of all sorts would form the crews of those vessels, and there is too much reason to fear that every soul of them have perished. At any rate the last thread of hope is becoming more and more attenuated every day, and if no news come of the poor fellows by the end of the week they will have to be given up. SHIELDS, THURSDAY, By,m. Since I sent off my despatch the storm has become worse and the sea has increased in violence. It has been a fearful afternoon. At our harbour's mouth the Phoenix, of Aberdeen, with coals from Hartle pool ; the Albion, of Ab2rystwith, with wheat from Stettin ; and a Dutch vessel, the Anna Catharina have been driven ashore. The Tyne pilots, with life boats, at great risk saved the crews of the two for mer vessels, and the Coastguard the crew of the latter vessel with rockets. All were saved except the mate of the Phwnix and the mate of fte Anna Catharina, the two latter poor fellows bein g drowned. The storm is as violent as ever. It it likely to be an awful night at sea. GREAT YARMOUTH, THURSDAY, 8 A.M. Last night and this morning we were visited by another gale of great violence. On Monday and Tuesday the weather was fair, and few could un derstand the meaning of Admiral Fitzroy's danger signals, which swung from the staves on the beach and the quay during Monday. On Tuesday after noon, however, the sky began to grow wild, the glass 711 E NAVY. The official reports to the Lords of the Admi ralty regarding the trial trip of the new ironplated frigate Warrior were despatched from Plymouth by Admiral Smart and Capt. Cochrane on Wednes day. Among other comparative results it appears that when under full steam the mean rate of speed per hour attained by the Warrior was 16.3 knots, and by the Revenge 11 knots. In sailing, the ship has considerable advantage over the frigate. The former also wears in seven minutes, while the latter, in consequence of her great length and the insuffi cient supply of canvas forward, requires 19 minutes. No severe storm was experienced, but the weather was sufficiently heavy to test the extent ofthe War rior's rolling, which attained a mean of 16 deg., against 14 deg. by the Revenge. The - gut.s of the ship have a range of 45 deg., those in the frigate 22 deg. In firing broadsides the Revenge " heels over;" the I'Varrior only "shakes a little." Her ventilating machinery, worked by one boiler, soon clears the space between decks from smoke ; it also;keeps the stokehole well supplied with fresh air, and willcontributelargely to the healthful condition of the ship. In respect to ventilation the stokehole of the Revenge is, by comparison, very deficient. The Warrior requires a powerful galig of men to steer her. It is stated that there is too much elas ticity in the tiller-ropes, which are necessarily very long. In judging of comparative results it should not be forgotten that the Warrior's superior means of propulsion is by steam, which in the Revenge is only auxiliary. The Warrior is a 40-gun frigate, with engines of 1,250-horse power ; the Revenge is a ship carrying 89 guns, with engines of 800-horse power. Very few visitors have had an opportunity ' of inspecting the Warrior at Plymouth, in conse quence of the severity of the weather. VALETTA, Nov. 9.—Her Majesty's screw frigate Melpomene, 51, Capt. C. J. F. Ewart, returned on the Ist instant from Tunis, whether she had con veyed her Majesty's Consul-General, Mr. R. Wood. Rumours prevalent in this island before her depar ture of a fanatical outbreak in Tunis appear to have been without foundation, or greatly exagge rated. The screw gunboat Cockatrice, 3, Comman der N. M. Gillson, which has been stationed for some time past at Gibraltar, arrived from that place on the 2d inst., after a passage of 10 days. She is to proceed to the Danube. The screw line-of battle ship Queen, 86, Capt. C. F. Hillyar, came in on the 4th inst., from Corfu 7 days, and Zante 5. A fatal accident occurred on board off the latter island. While at target practice, two of the main deck guns accidentally went off as the wad and shot were being rammed home, blowing away the right arms of two men, the left arm of another, and injuring a fourth in the hand. Besides these injuries, one of the men was dreadfully burnt and wounded about the face and chest, and both the captains of the guns, who served the vents, had their thumbs badly hurt. In three cases amputation of the arm was necessary. One of the unfortunate men only survived 30 hours and another succumbed the second day. The others are doing well. A marine, Wm. Baxter, belonging to the Queen, was tried the day before yesterday on board the Hibernia, flag-ship of Rear-Admiral Codrington, C. 8., on charges of dis obedience of orders ; Rear-Admiral S. C. Dacres, C. 8., Captain of the Fleet, presided. The Court found the prisoner guilty and sentenced him to re ceive 48 lashes, to be imprisoned for two years, and then dismissed the service with disgrace. The Court was then dissolved and reformed to try Sergeant Gideon Morris, Royal Marine Light Infantry, of the Marlborough, fl a g-ship of the Commander-in- Chief, on charges of disobedience of the orders of Second Lieut. J. A. Sweny, Royal Marine Light Infantry, allowing two privates Royal Marines to get drunk while under his orders on shore picket duty at Malta, and treating Lieut. Sweny with dis respect. The Liffey, 51, and Wanderer, 4, were at Corfu when the Queen left ; and the London, 90, and Hannibal, 91, were on their way thither. The Wanderer was on the point of starting for the Southern ITh,nd with the Commissioners, Dr. Sutherland and Capt. Galton.
