This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own puraes. The cllfferenQ3 between true Speetnatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the•treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular.

FALL OF Two HOUSES IN THE BLACKFRIARS ROAD.—Yesterday, soon after noon, considerable alarm was created in consequence of the fall of two houses, one numbered 18, York-street, Blackfriars-road, and the other adjoining it in William- street, and its being stated that some of the workmen had been buried beneath the ruins. These two houses formed part of a block of buildings that were being pulled down for the construction of the Charing-cross Railway. The roofs had been removed, and a great portion of the wood work taken away, and the men employed had scarcely gone to dinner when they fell with a terrific crash, levelling to the ground the stout hoarding around them. Had the fall occurred ten minutes sooner, a fearful sacrifice of life must have been the result, as more I than 20 men were employed in the houses, CAPITAL PUNISHMENTS. Mr. ASHWORTH read a paper on Capital Punish ments and Crime, of which the following is an abstract :—We find that in most countries the punishment of evil-doers—even to the extent of taking away human life—has been justified as a necessity and defended upon one plea or another : whether in accordance with the Mosaic code, or as enjoined under the Christian dispensation—de fended by philosophy, or claimed as a right by royal prerogative. Passing from the question of divine authority, and tracing , by investigation the theory of our own jurisprudence in this country, we find that, from time to time, under the ever vary ing condition of out people,' an adjustment of punishment for offences has been determined in some way or other by human judgment, and, for the most part, the punishment inflicted zhas been greatly in excess of the magnitude of the offences committed. The extremity of this policy would appear to have been reached in the time of Henry VIII., during whose reign it has been stated that the incredible number of 72,000 persons were executed for the' crime of theft alone, besides those who suffered death for treason and other grave offences. Dur ing the reign of the Stuarts and some of the Brunswick family the number of capital offences was gradually increased to the extent of 220, and the pecuniary amount descended to as low a sum as five shillings. Coming nearei* our own day, the prevailing sentiment in relation to almost all offences continued to rest up cticl the theory of the legislature, that it was needfulo hang men by way of example, in order to prevent others committing crime. In the year 1786, James Holland of Kirk ham, in this county, was condemned at the Lan caster Assizes as a " croft breaker," having stolen 30 yards of cotton cloth of the value of £3 from the bleach grounds of Mr. Thweat, of Burnden, near Bolton. We will not now remark upon the gravity of the offence. He was conveyed in a cart from the Castle of Lancaster to the town of Bolton, and was executed there on the 18th of September, 1786. Such was the avowed purpose and determination that the most should be made of the impressive effect, that the employers of the neighbourhood had their servants and werkpeople assembled on the spot to witness the spectacle: and upon the following Sunday the Rev. E. Whitehead, vicar of the parish church, improved the occasion by a sermon upon the recent execution. After some remarks deploring " the degeneracy and wickedness of the times," he proceeded " In what past period in this nation willtb inq ep u e i e r p e l . e be found more sunk in vice and pollution than the present r He then went on to assert that iniquity abounds, criminals daily in. at their utmost sum e of the notoriously ill m e sum crease, , rapine Followingand a v il disclosureany ar success of extreme punishments, a committee was formed in London about the year 1808, to afford Romilly,criminal M.P., in obtain ingcode; and their assistance tbe ameliorationto Sir our exertions were gradually successful. One offence after another ceased to be capital, and a change in our penal code was more and more urgently de manded. The difficulty of procuring the repeal, or even some mitigation of our antiquated penal sta tutes, lay with the legislature, and the character of the obstruction offered will be estimated by refer ence to a few only of the accounts of the proceedings. In the session of 1810. Romilly succeeded in carry ing through the House of Commons the repeal of the law which made it a capital offence to steal the value of ss. in a shop. The House of Lords threw out the bill by a majority of 31 to 11, and in this majority therewere six bishops and one archbishop. From a beginning so inauspicious to look upon, the pro gress of any salutary change could not be very rapid, and it was in 1833 that Lord Suffield appealed to their lordships on the following astounding state ment—" I hold in my hand a list of 555 perjured ver dicts delivered at the Old Bailey in 15 years, for the single offence of stealing from dwelling houses ; the value stolen in these cases being sworn above 405., but the verdict returned being reduced by the jury to the value of 395. only." What was the result of this appeal ? A change in the law was effected, and Mr. Chas. Phillips, in a remarkable pamphlet on capital punishments, published in 1858, facetiously informs us—" It did not amount to a repeal, but to an acknowledgment that mankinade in the image of his Maker, had risen in Ole money market, and thereupon human life was advanced by statute from £2, the sum at which it then stood, to £6, being a rise of 60s. per head." The effect of this change in the law, as might reasonably be ex pected, was that in like mannerjuries had recourse to an exceptional verdict of £4 19s. The instinct of the age spurned such atrocities, and as Sir Wil liam Grant has remarked :—" There was amongst prosecutors, witnesses, juries, judges, and the Minis ters of the Crown, a general confederacy to pre vent the law being executed," adding, " Where the law and the practice were opposite to one another one of them must be wrong, and he had no doubt it was the law." In the case of forgeries, Mr. Samuel Hoare, a London banker, stated that "not one in twenty was prosecuted;" and the country bankers petitioned for a more lenient law, as " they had found by experience that the infliction of death prevented prosecutions, and thus endangered the property which the law was intended to protect." The question assumed enlarged proportions, and the peers began to show symptoms of uneasiness ; they saw that bills were being passed by the Com mons which they were constantly rejecting ; they made impressive appeals to the wisdom of their predecessors, and especially to the great Law Lords who had enacted these very statutes which the Commons were insisting so strongly upon having repealed. Lord Wynford assured the house that " if the capital offence of 40s. should be repealed, the people of England could not sleep in safety in their beds." Lord Chief Justice Ellenborough exclaimed against these "innovations," de claring that " he knew not where such specu lations were to stop ;" and Lord Chancellor Eldon very piteously expressed the same concern. We may now very complacently inquire what has come of the changes effected, and what of the reliable character of these high-sounding alarms? Public opinion, founded upon truth and justice, became irresistible ; most of these inhuman enactments were at length repealed ; our police was improved ; prosecutors became more willing to bring criminals to justice ; and what has been the consequence ? So far from any increase of crime, as attendant on the repeal, it has posi , ively diminished ; commit ments have become fesi er, thus establishing the proof that laws which had deterred prosecution had encouraged crime. It will hardly be necessary to offer the remark that the security of property and the good order and welfare of the community are amongst the treasured institutions of our country; how gratifying is the acknowledgment that these are now being upheld with greater safety and without involving any sacrifice of human life, even of the meanest of our fellow-subjects. From a Parliamentary paper (No. 585), it appears that in the course of 22 years, from 1798 to 1818, both inclusive, there were in Lamashire 153 executions, more than 50 of which were for offences connected with forgery ; and let it be borne in mind that the population of the county, in 1801, was only 672,565. In the last 22 years, the population of 1801 being 2,428,744, or nearly fourfold, the num ber of executions had been reduced to 16, and these for murder only. It may be insisted that any such comparison as that of the number of executions does not afford conclusive evidence of the diminu tion of crime ; and that, if p o s sible, some other data, affording more minute partic ulars, ought to be ad duced in support of th is assum p tion. It is well known that in the early p art of the present centur y th er e were not in existence the means of col l e ctin g the needful information in the same careful man ner as is now annually prepared by the county consta bulary. Some statistics of crime in Bolton were then referred to, from which it appeared that the pecuniary loss falling upon the 67,000 inhabitants of the county constabulary district of Bolton had been something under £lOO per annum, or a little over three-eighths of a penny her head. He con cluded by saying that in endeavouring to account for the presence or the absence of crime, it will be admitted that the employment of the executioner as a moral teacher has utterly failed, and that the enactment of stringent laws has not prevented the onward course of crime. When we come to consider the conditions tending t o cr i me , it i s we ll known that the harassing eff e ct s o f pover t y h ave b ee n but too frequently the o r i g i nat i ng cause. Under a pres sure so severe, h ow utterly va i n wou ld b e the attempt to enfore the conv i ct i on t h at "h ones ty is the best policy ; " whilst on the contrary, the con clusion must be obvious that the ameliorating influ ence of well-paid employment, cheap food, and com mand of enjoyment, tend to diminish crime and to exalt the character of a people. Mr. NAPIER said they had just got rid of the punishment of death in every ease except for murder and treason. There was a class of cases where de ri bu another ' t potiehar class sy o n on s f e ova w esre e sr found oo uf ndt convictedpe rsonshe y e co on o us f lpdir intending ingt o to enforce n tuhr cause death, b u t w h ere d eath d i d not ensue, e -and oo t hff death where sentence: ea criminal t h to letaehwde The casese public for theypublic werh ecaodn reduced conscienceeduci eneced h did conscience did t e punishment n n o o t t g g o o with wi th the punishment.

This section, which meets in the large' hall of the Mechanics' Institution, was exceedingly -Crowded. M. Du CHATLLU read a paper "On the people of Western Equatorial Africa," of which the follow ing is an abstract :—He doubted whether there was another district of the same size holding such a number or so many varieties of tribes, each think ing itself a separate nation and possessing a distinct name, though many speak the same language or dialect. The villages of most of these tribes are intermingled with each other, there being no special landmarks. People squat or settle where they please, this freedom of choice being owing to the vast extent of unoccupied territory. The cannibals are the tallest and handsomest of these tribes, many are of athletic form, in fact magnificent savages. Some, near the equator, at the headwaters of the Gaboon river, are of less fine appearance and small stature. They even eat the dead. Except these cannibals the other tribes seem to be intermediate 1 1 in stature, between the tall and the slim Yslop and other tribes of North Africa and the mall sized men of the Congo, and of the more southern tribes of that continent, who are small and ugly, except the Kaffirs, who are tall, hand some negroes. The countries he has visited do not contain what we should call blacks except the Ashira tribe. Apparently the negroes who inhabit a damp and moist country, and especially if mountainous, are less black, though possessing all the negro fea tures, than those belonging to an open country with a dry atmosphere. Amongst the cannibals, espe cially the Aginga, he found persons almost like mulattoes. Albinos are rather common. The canni bals are among the best smiths of Africa ; working iron beautifully, making knives, spears, axes, and hammers. Many of their warlike instruments are good and exceedingly well shaped. The tribes he visited south of the equator possess a loom and weave the fibres of a species of palm into cloth of considerable fineness and tenacity. The negroes have an imaginative mind, are astute speakers, sharp traders, great liars, have got great powers of dissimulation, and are far from being in many re spects the stupid people they are believed to be. Each tribe is divided into clans, the children belong ing mostly to the clan of the mother, and these are not allowed to marry among themselves, however removed in degree their connexion may be. But there is no objection to possessing a father's or a brother's wife. TLe regulations seem to have a healthful effect, from the scarcity of the deformed, blind, or cripples. The habits, however, are other wise filthy, leading to scrofula, &c. Their religious notions are of the vaguest and loosest. Superstition seems to have run wild. Each clan and Lead of a family possesses an idol, which it is believed will ward off evil and foretell events, STRIKES. The paper upon strikes read by Mr. Watts at the British Association is so able, so interesting, end so conclusive that one begins to wonder there should ever be any strikes at all. Even the few strikes that have had a degree of success have been a loss both to the workman as well as the em ployer, while the great majority of strikes have been unsuccessful and ruinous. It is a matter of demonstration, and Mr. Watts has put it so clearly that a child can understand it, and can ask—as many a child has done ere this—why " father" has been so foolish. Why then are there such things as strikes among our hardheaded working men, especially in the astute region of the North, under pulpits and platforms where reason rules the day, and where the elements of all science are taught with the AB C ? Unfortunately, the same question may be asked with regard to many other things besides strikes, where the argument is all one way and the practice all the other. The arguments against dram-drinking and smo ing, against improvident marriages and immoral mO r gtah rl de n ieru e: vtt l e O are llS yitc , oaesi ir irvaa a ecr in teil s_ vo t oevve q reeo u rawf a d r h r e e l l in 'An in g g, an an d d litigati on, m a y a in p g p , ea b r u a t nc u e n s, fo a r n tu d n m at a e n ly y they are little attended to. In all these cases there is much besides reason in the question. In the case of strikes, the stronger the argument against them—and it cannot be stronger—the stronger also ' the presumption of causes more powerful than rea son. In at least three cases out of four the artisan, having been content with his wages, his master, and his work, or satisfied within himself that his master would not change his wages or his work without good reason, and finding also invariably that his wife and children were equally satisfied, nevertheless obeys the dictation of some so-called secretary, or committee, or delegate, and, with sor rowful heart, joins the strike. As it is part of this world's dispensation that the few should rule the many, and as there can be no general action at all without heads and leaders, we must not object to the domination of committees. But there is no species of domination, no tyranny, no Continental despotism, no barbaric rule, in which the many are so helplessly, so ignominiously, so reluctantly dragged, and starved, and led captive by the few, as in a strike. This alone shows how little reason has to do with the affair. Wherever the many will be led by the few, it is vain to argue with the many ; and the few perhaps have arguments of their own that you can have nothing to do with. But we will proceed on Mr. Watts's supposition that in almost every case an artisan does an utterly absurd,ridiculous, and suicidal act by joining a strike. The next thing is to ask why he does so. The inge nious essayist and Lord Monteagle, with a character istic confidence in the power of sound doctrine, evidently think that much may be done by opening the eyes of the artisan and enlarging his mind to the folly of strikes. If he will only go by the rule of three, the tables of interest at 5 per cent., and other right rules of reason, be will see at once how little he gains, or rather how much he loses, by even a successful strike of five weeks for a shilling a week more wages, when his memory must tell him how shortlived all arrangements have been, and how soon a bad time may close the mill in his face. The case is so plain that it hardly wants a teacher. As the artisan returns home, after declar ing himself on the strike, and takes his seat before the hearth which he must soon stint of fuel, by the table which will show gradually less genial fare' amid furniture, and crockery, and linen, and good clothes, which will find their way to the pawn broker, and children whom he must take away at once from school, and soon see half starved and half naked, he must be able to work the figures of the question quite as well as Mr. Watts. He must know perfectly well that he is gsing to make a fool of himself, or be made a fool of. He must know that no advance will make up for the total loss of a dozen weeks' wages, or even half a dozen ; that it will do him no good to deprive his employer of money or credit ; and that, if he succeeds in getting an advance, it may only end in making his trade wholly unprofitable, in gazetting his master, and closing his mill. All this he knows, we will ven ture to say, as well as Mr. Watts can teach him, though he may not be able to put together so many interesting illustrations. Why, then, does he commit the suicide P Why does he throw his wages down the gutter ? Why is he, all of a sudden, so unna tural a father, so bad a husband ? Why does he rebel against reason and sin against knowledge ? The answer is that he feels a strong duty and obligation to his own order and class, and tlaaehnaaddthoeersconsequentefiwkdnheoinl knows s h d t evuo very y hreya ofsalt a public int tolobediencelittle suchofn ths ee meeting. electedse to of i ts dutyleanr Id tae elected issd attachment to his employe r . Th e pro b a bi l i ty i s except that he occasionally h ears their strong voice equally probable that he knows even less of his employer. Here, then, is the reply to Mr. Watts' able argument and Archbishop Whately's admir able lessons on money matters. The moral and social influence round the artisan almost compels him to take part in the strike, He is naturally gregarious. He is not accustomed to independence of action or of forethought. Most probably he has not much power of making his opinions known, even if he has them. He hears on all aides the rumours and threats of an intended strike. All at once there is a strike. If he does not join it he is a marked man. To all purposes of social happiness he is a ruined man. He may think the strike ever so foolish or wicked, but there is no help for it. He cannot swim against the stream. All the reasoning in the world is lost in such a case. But this only goes t o show that the evil must be taken in time. We take the liberty of assuming that it 18 an evil, for we believe there is not a single instance of a considerable strike in which it did not 1 turn out that the calculations of the employer were sound and those of the workmen unsound. Such arguments as those of Mr. Watts may be useful now, though they would be mere talking to the wind and storm during an actual strike. In our . humble opinion, more may be done in a time of peace and union towards creating a sound public opinion and a right feeling among the men. In many cases, no doubt, it is not easy to establish a personal relation between the masters and the men, as the men are a mere floating crowd on the look out for work and passing from one job to another ; but wherever it is possible employers will find it to their interest to do all they can to secure the con fidence of their servants, and to establish a con nexion closer than that of trade. This is done in agriculture, and there is no reason why it should not be done wherever the relation of employer and employed has lasted a few years. Any man with the heart of a gentleman must find the pleasure of mere money-making very dull unless he is at the same time acquiring a personal hold on the respect and affections of those who tire engaged with him. Surely, if an employer l is - a gentleman of educa tion,Zeottrighteto be able to beat on his own ground such as delegates, union secretaries, and the authors of these strikes.

Cannot something notions upon labour' and capital, with no other to give well-disposed operatives an organisation capable of resisting the designs of self-interested publicdb doubt, ub t, mischiefmakers ? We are no believers in mere illu mination. As we have observed, at least three out of four of those who join strikes are driven as sheep to the slaughter, either against their will or without a will of their own. They want protection. They want consolidation. They want drilling. This, too, must be beforehand. But what they want above all is such a personal confidence in their 4m ployers as shall make them follow them in the hour of trial instead of Union tyrants. It is sometimes said, indeed, that it does operatives no good to see much of them, and that it is more easy to set them up than to set them down. This may be a difficult and delicate task, but nobody shall persuade us that really superior men cannot do much to win the love or respect of their inferiors. But at the bottom of this whole question there is a truth which Mr. Watts does not bring out. It is, that this is not a mere matter of wages. No purely commercial relation ever will stand. Even an engagement for a few months is liable to be rudely interrupted if there is not some of the salt of life to redeem it. If the principals of a commer cial firm have not the affections, as well as the com pulsory presence and paid time, of their employes, they will soon find themselves cheated, robbed, and betrayed on every side. The purely commercial re lation is a rope of sand. The first wave of opinion, the merest breath of caprice, dissolves it to atoms. There must be added to it the fibre and cement of social feeling. So long as the masons and other building operatives in London, and so long as the pitmen in the North, are always changing their lodgings and connections—so long as weavers, cut lers, and some other artisans have no other relation with their employer than to bring their work to his office, they will never have a particle of feeling for their employers, and always imagine that their in terests are diametrically opposed. On the slightest provocation they will be ready to hurt themselves and their families, if they think they inflict a greater hurt on their employer. Argument, of course, is wasted on these men. They know all that Mr. Watts or Dr. Whately can tell them, or, if they have anything still to learn, it will only be that they are doing even more mischief than they ex pected. Let us not be supposed to underrate the force of truth and the power of good argument. We only see that it is as useless on the eve of a strike as argument was in the American quarrel, and that the working classes want something more than orthodox " indoctrination" to stand by their em ployers.— Times. THE NAVY. According to present arrangements it is expected that If R.H. Prince Alfred will leave England for Halifax about the 20th inst., to rejoin his ship, the St. George, on the conclusion of his leave of absence. The Handy, 2, screw, 40-horse power, nominal, Lient. Commander J. H. Glover, _ng at Ports mouth for service as tender to ikeiiriogant, 40, screw, flag of Commodore Ed monston e, on the West Coast of Africa station, was masted at Portsmouth dockyard yesterday. She is fitted with ventilating tubes and slides (on the plan suggested by the ven tilating committee, now holding their meetings and consultations on the best mode to be devised for ventilating her Majesty's ships) and which, from their simplicity and apparent freedom of action, are expected to prove a great success. The Himalaya, screw troopship, Capt. John Sec combe, is ordered to take in alongside Portsmouth yard 900 tons, preparatory to further troop service. The Shannon, 51, screw, steamed out of Ports mouth harbour yesterday, under command of Capt. H. Broadhead, commanding the reserve at this port, and tested her machinery in Stokes Bay, returning again to the harbour at the close of the trial, every thing working satisfactorily. Her Majesty's steam storeship Supply, Master- Commander Balliston, sailed yesterday from Wool wich to be adjusted at Greenhithe, for Malta. Her cargo consists of victualling and general naval stores. The screw steamship Renown, 89, Capt. Arthur Forbes, from the Mediterranean, which arrived on Monday morning in Plymouth Sound, received orders in the afternoon to proceed to Spithead. Yesterday morning those orders were counter manded. She will go up Hamoaze, where her crew will be paid off. The Renown will then be placed in the third division of the steam reserve. The paddlewheel steam sloop Firebrand, 6, Com mander J. M. Bruce, the crew of which have suf fered so fatally in the West Indies from yellow fever, arrived yesterday in Plymouth Sound. She left Halifax Aug. 22, and on the 29th encountered a gale, in which her mainyard a/A one lower deck port were carried away. The Firebrand lost alto gether by yellow fever one assist.-paymaster, two assist.- engineers, a boatswain, and 47 petty officers and seamen. The crew are now in good health. In Halifax harbour a gunner fell overboard, and was unfortunately drowned. She brings home 16 in valids, including Assist.-Surgeon C. L. Cunningham, of the gunboat Steady, 5; Sub-Lieut. W. M. Mor gan, Nile, 90; and Mr. J. Brown, engineer of the floating battery Terror, 16, at Bermuda. The Fire brand left at Halifax the screw steamship Nile, 90, Capt. E. K. Barnard, flag of Rear-Admiral Alex. Milne; the screw steamship St. George, 86, Capt. the Hon. F. Egerton ; the screw steam frigate Dia dem, 32, Capt. J. H. Cockburn ; the screw steam gunvessel Steady, 5, Commander H. D. Grant, which arrived on the 22d. Aug.; the paddlewheel steam sloop Spiteful, 6, Commander C. F. Wilson ; and a French squadron, consisting of the Admiral's ship Bellone, two frigates and a gunboat. Up to the time of the departure of the Firebrand the Spite ful's loss by yellow fever amounted to 24 deaths. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—E. T. Ryan, assist.-surg., additional, to the Nile ; H. J. L. Turnbull, midship man, to the Trafalgar. W. A. Beckles, C. T. Bewieke, A. Dalgesh, and J. B. Pulford have been nominated to naval cadetships.

The annexed General Order, issued by the Com ina:ader-in-Chief in India, and published there on thetitibiAation of No, 3 battery 14th brigade Royal Artillery for England (now arrived at Woolwich), Was yesterday read on parade to the battery by Gen. Sir R. Dacres, commanding the garrison : "Head -quarters, Calcutta, March IS. " The 3d battery 14th Brigade Royal Artillery's gallant and important services in the late campaign in India entitle it to a special Mention in general orders on its departure for England. " The battery formed' part of the column which, under the heroic Sir H.

"The battery returns accompanied by the sincerest ap probation and good wishes of the Commander-in-Chief and of the army to England, where they will receive the vel come which is due to soldiers who have added another bril liant page to the annals of their illustrious corps. " By order of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, "E, HAYTHORNE, Colonel Adjutant-General, • Her Majesty's Forces in India." _ _ _ On Monday Col. the recently ap pointed commandant of Colchester Camp, held the first field day with the Indian depots which has taken place since his appointment. The newly-ar ranged battalions, comprising 1,700 men, assembled in full force upon the extensive parade ground, and executed all the ordinary military evolutions of a field day in a prompt and satisfactory manner. The greater portion of the soldiers now in camp consist of young men who have seen no service. On the staff of the several depots may be found an unusual number of veterans, bearing, in addition to the Cri mean medal, decorations for distinguished conduct in the last Indian campaign. With such a body of men as drillmasters, and especially with a large staff of officers who have seen active service abroad, the troops could not fail to be in the high state of efficiency they exhibit at this present moment. We formerly referred to Col. Guy as an officer of 50 years' service. This was a mistake, he having en tered the army on the 23d Sept., 1824, so that his term of service has been only 37 years. The arrangements for the subdivision of the de pot brigade of the Royal Artillery into three bri gades having been completed, several additional alterations are about to be carried into effect for the more complete working of the new corps. The first depot will be stationed permanently at Woolwich, which will remain the headquarters of the brigade, under the command of Col. Kennedy, The second sub-brigade will be stationed at Sheerness, and the third at Warley, the latter having been given up as a station for the Royal Artillery. In accordance with the new system the promotion of non-commis sioned officers belonging to the depot brigade will be confined to each brigade having a separate roster, instead of, as heretofore, embracing the entire strength of the depot as it originally stood, previous to the reorganisation. This decision on the part of the authorities will prove of considerable benefit to the non-commissioned officers generally, as promo tions will be more rapid, and the chances of ad vancement less precarious. It is also intended to further augment the strength of the depots at Warley and Sheerness by the formation of an additional battery at each of these stations. The depot at Woolwich will, as heretofore, receive all the correspondence and returns rendered periodi cally by brigades, which will be forwarded, after ex amination, to the Horse Guards. A separate Staff will be required at each station, the appointments to which are under consideration. Yesterday the 23d company of Royal Engineers, which has only recently arrived at Chatham, from China, was inspected at the headquarters by Col. H. D. Harness, C. 8., Director of the Royal Engi neer establishment, after which - it marched to the railway station at Chatham, and proceeded to Shorncliffe. The 23d company left headquarters in charge of Lieut. Talbot, and Lieut.-Col. Graham, V.C., who commands the company, will join at Shorncliffe. The 34th (Capt. Gordon's) company of Royal Engineers marched into Chatham garrison yesterday, from Shorncliffe, to be augmented to its full complement of 100 men of all ranks, prior to embarking for Bermuda, to relieve the 26th com pany. The detachment of the Depot Brigade, Royal Artillery, which has been stationed at Shoebur3 - nese since the Bth of July last, for the purpose of going through a complete course of instruction at that school of gunnery, arrived at Sheerness yes terday, under the command of Capt. Hutchinson, Indian Artillery. Capt. Hutchinson returns to Shoeburyness, where he is required during the im portant experiments which are now in progress. Yesterday Lieut.-Col. J. C. D. Morrison and a recruiting party of non-commissioned officers and men of the Royal Marines, left head-quarters, Chat ham, and proceeded to Chelmsford for the purpose of raising men for that branch of the service. • Major-Gen. Eyre, commanding the Chatham dis trict, having given permission for the troops at that garrison to compete for the prizes which are to be contended for at the Kent county rifle contest to day, under certain regulations, a number of the best shots among the non-commissioned officers and men of the Royal Engineers, the battalions of in fantry, and the Royal Marines proceed to Maidstone this morning to contest their skill in rifle firing against the entire county. REPAVING OF CAREY-STREET, LINCOLN'S INN- PlELDs.—Yesterday, pre . )arations for re-paving Carey street, Serle-street, and Portugal-street, Lincoln's In fields, were commenced. The two last-named s t r eets will not be disturbed until the paving of Carey-street is restored, The contract has been taken by Messrs. Jewell and Pratt, who have also obtained those for the Strand and other streets within the Strand district. ENGLISH COAL, AND HUMAN POWER..—Pro fessor Rogers estimates that nearly-one-sixth of the total annual produce of our coal mines is used for the produc tion of mechanical power alone, from which a power equal to that of 66,000,000 able-bodied men is obtained. Each acre of a seam yielding 3 feet of pure fuel is equal to about 5,000 tons, and possesses a reserve of mechanical* strength equal to the labour of 1,600 men during their whole life; and each square mile of the same bed contains 8,000,000 tons of fuel, which is equal to 1,000,000 men labouring through 20 years of their ripe strength. Upon the same calculation, the total annual coal production of the United Kingdom (65,000,000 tons) is equal to the strength of 4 00,000,000 strong men, or more than double the num ber of adult males now upon the globe.—Mining Journal. CURIOUS MODE OF PAYING MUSICIANS.—Some musicians and theatrical singers about two years ago left France to seek their fortune, and after many journeyings chance took them to the Hervey Islands, part of Cook's archipelago in the Pacific. One of them, a female, has just written the following curious letter to her aunt, who resides in Paris :—" The king of these islands, Makes Guame, has three times attended our concerts.
