" 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 valuab_ 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.

STAMPED, SD, NORTH ITALY. says :—Count A letter from Turin, dated June 1, Cavour's indisposition, to which I alluded in my last letter, exhibits the symptoms of all his pre vious attacks,—a sudden 'seizure and speedy re covery. He was bled four times within three days. Last evening he had already recovered, and to-day he was expected to leave his chamber. The com plaint is congestion of the brain, arising from in tense occupation, want of bodily exercise, and either too strong an appetite or else excessive indul gence in the pleasures of his well-appointed table. Periodical bleeding has become with him, as with too many of his countrymen, a matter of neces sity, It is only when the great man is temporarily laid low that people seem to realise to its full ex tent the power of his ruling genius. Then you hear surmises and conjectures in an under breath as to what might happen were the phlebotomist's lancet to arrive only two minutes too late. There is a Pro vidence to take care of insane and drunken men, says the English proverb ; and there is a Providence to watch over the destinies of a nation in a state of transition. Count Cavour is neither the head of a majority nor of a minority; so far as the head of the Administration is concerned,ltaly cannot be, strictly speaking, called a Constitutional country, as, for a certain period of time, a Ministerial crisis is an im possibility. Since in 1854, or shortly before, Count Cavour undertook to " make Italy" (far r Italia, as the phrase is here) he engaged to be kept in harness till Italy was made, He cannot think of withdrawing ; no man car even dream of unseating him. For the last seven or eight years he has not only been at the head of the King's Cabinet, holding now two, now three, now even four port folios; he has been the Minister. It mattered not who was called by him to sit in the Council, or to seem to share his responsibility. It mattered not whom he chose to discoid, with whom he was com pelled to quarrel, whose able co-operation he thought fit to renounce. It did not even matter into whose hands he, for a short respite, resigned power. The master mind in Italy was always one and the same. Even La Marmora's head was not hard enough to butt against Cavour's, nor was even Ratazzi's tem per sufficiently soft to avoid all collision. One after another all Cavour's associates fall from or are hurled from him; he alone stands for ever—for ever, that is, so long as he wills, and so long as the surgeon's lancet saves him from himself. What would become of half-made Italy if Cavour were suddenly removed ? Why, the framer of the Peace of Villafranca had an instinctive notion that his Subalpine interlocutor at Plombieres was too much for him, and thought he should easily have Italy at his own discretion if he could only drive Count Cavour from Victor Emmanuel's councils. Thanks, not to an internal crisis, but to a foreign overbearing force, Cavour, in 1859, yielded his seat to Ratazzi, who reigned; but ruled not, for a few months. Even during those few months the real leader of Italian destinies was the gentleman at that time ruralising at Leri. It was he who inspired the conduct of Farini and Ricasoli, cheered up the .tEmilians and Tus cans, forced upon Napoleon the annexation of Central Italy, when the Emperor was obliged to acknowledge himself beaten, and had to come to terms with his adversary, allowing him to resume the semblance, as he had never lost the substance, of power. The price exacted for this compromise was an afterthought on the part of Napoleon, a sur prise rather than an oversight on that of Cavour. The latter's calculations were all correct, but it is never safe for a man to be toe much in the right unless he be ready and able to back right by might. Should Cavour be removed by death—for no man in Italy is absurd enough to think of any other con tingency—we should in all probability have a Rica soli Ministry. Cavour's only possible successor is unmistakably pointed out by public opinion. He would bring high principles, a most unblemished character, a strong good sense, and stern will into the King's councils ; but for vastness of intelligence, for extent of resources, few even of his friends give him credit. His very virtues, his chivalrous hon our, his stubborn firmness, his romantic patriotism, would be in his way ; they would unfit him for those shifts and compromises to which enlarged states manship knows when and how to accommodate itself. There are not many men who know the medium between bravely "wrestling with fate" and madly dashing out one's brains against a stone wall. Conjecture, however, would be very idle in itself at this present moment, and it can only negatively illustrate the subject. Count Cavour lives, and long may he live. So long as the lancet steps in between him and " congestion," he is not the man that can be spared. He is the only person who ever approached the Emperor Napoleon, who may be said to hold the key of the great riddle of Europe. Cavour alone hitherto found the means of making the ambitious schemes of the French auto crat subservient to the interests of his own country. At all points, except one, the larger brain has always had the better of the stronger hand. The game is by no means at an end, and the skilful player must hold the cards to the last rubber. While the French are at Rome, and the Austrians garrison the Quadrilateral, Count Cavour is the indispensable man, to be ousted by no opponent, to be removed by no fatal contingency. I am sorry to have to add that Count Cavour has had a restless night; he has lost a great deal of blood, owing to the loosening of the bandages at his arm, yet had to be bled again in the course of this morning. This relapse is only owing to the Count's imprudence in summoning his colleagues to his bedside yesterday, on the first symptoms of improvement, and holding with them a long con ference, for which his exhaustion hardly fitted the great statesman. IRELAND. DUBLIN, MONDAY. The idea that " all Ireland" is united in a contest with England for an Irish interest has something exhilarating in it to politicians of all classes and creeds. The.union which it has effected is certainly extraordinary, and a worse grievance would be welcome occasionally if it produced such an edifying result. The conduct of the Irish members in the late division has, upon the whole, given satisfaction. The division lists have been carefully analysed and turned every way in order to detect any dereliction of duty on the part of our representatives. Of the 105 Irish members, 73 voted against the Government on this occasion, of whom eight had voted with Go vernment on the first division on the Paper Duty. This inconsistency is held to be highly creditable, and Mr. Bagwell is condemned because, though he resigned his office as one of the LordstaokfeuthebyTrtehae sury in consequence of the course .d which he on the question of the subszy,ni" for he condemned, he voted with the Government ure w hich he the abolition of the Paper Du d ty • eaussinion people here approved. In the heat of whatconsistently t a Government in doing . right, while - cannot always see that a marl May sup port majority, and of these what is wrong. Only 15 Government—namely, ho opposes it in doing Proby, and Mr. Fortescue. e o Ld t v oted i t n h t thehe j t l h r o i r r s e d h e arecas memberstei oenronsescevt, There were 17 Irish members absent from the divi sion. Mr. Lowry Corry has stated to the Daily 4iress that he was prevented from voting in the minority by illness, which detained him at Portadown. Mr. M'Cormack and Mr. Richardson were the only Irish members absent without pairs. Of the 15 who voted with the Government eight are Protestants and seven Catholics, and of the 73 who voted against the Government, 59 are Protestants, and 14 Catholics. Eight Protestants and nine Catho lics were absent. It is reported that Lord John Browne, one of a° members for Mayo, is to be the new Lord of the Treasury, in th e room of M. Bagwell. London: H.

IMPORTANT TO OWNERS OF HORSES.- After long experience, deep researches into chymistry, by the aid of costly machinery, I have discovered the means whereby oats, beans, and oilcake may be entirely dispensed with in the feeding of horses and cattle. I have now invented a compound meal, composed of locust beans, Indian corn, linseed, &c., at £l6 per ton, which is equal in value to £24 worth of oats, beans, or any other feeding material in the mattet Two quarts of this compound meal, weighing :11hs., at the cost of Id., mixed with a peck of chopped hay, is a teed for a draught horse, and superior in every respect to three quarterns of oats, costing 70. 14 barrels weigh net 1 ton 1 cwt., at 16s. per cwt., £l6 16s. net cash, free, delivered by my own waggons to any station in London.

The New York. _Herald publishes the following letter from Wasinghton "Washington, May 21. " Our Government, it is quite understood, have decided on their course should any foreign Power display any disposition to truckle to the rebel States. Any act of intervention which affords direct advan tage to the insurgent States, and which tends to hamper or obstruct the action of our Government, will lead to the most decisive measures on the part of the Administration.• Frequent consultations are taking place on the best means of avenging any interference in this domestic brawl by England or other Powers, and a complete programme, it is rumoured, will shortly be settled upon. It appears that more than a month ago our Government gave notice to the Powers of Europe who took part in the Congress of Paris in 1856, that they were willing to accept the code they adopted at that period, which declared privateering to be piracy. How, then, will it be possible for England, one of the Powers in question, to refuse to accept the unqua lified offer of our Government to adopt their own code ? And how will it be possible for her, after this, to treat the rebel States simply as belligerents, however pliant may be the opinions of the legal advisers of the Crown ? Is England disposed to become the patron and partner of pirates ?—for such her laws pronounce privateers to be. This timely act of our Government places England in a false and untenable position if she persists in regarding the privateers of the South merely as belligerents. This movement in the British Parliament is consi dered by the Administration merely as a party measure, meant chiefly to embarass Lord Palmer ston: They feel sure that the people of England are strangers to it. It will be gratifying to the country to learn that our Government has received the amplest assurances from Austria that she will have nothing to do with the rebel States whatever ; while Prussia has not hesitated to manifest in plain terms her unequivocal sympathy with our country. The Secretary of State has given notice to Mexico and to other States that the Monroe doctrine will be carried out with all the energy and resources of the Government, and that nothing in the shape of foreign intervention will be tolerated or submitted to for a single hour. Mexico has been assured in the most positive language that she can depend on the active and determined support of this country should any European Power attempt to violate her soil. A warning has been given to Spain that if she ventures to accept the artful proffer of St. Do mingo she will do so at her peril. This subject is one of too much delicacy to treat with freedom ; but if I may infer from the droppings of those who are the best informed, I should say that Spain would do well to exercise the utmost discretion in her foolhardy attempts to extend her dominion in this part of the world. It is certainly remakable that the three most despotic European Govern ments, those of Prussia, Austria, and Russia, have hastened to express tneir sympathy with our in ternal troubles, and intimate their indisposition to give any direct or indirect aid or comfort to the Southern rebels, while the rulers of England and France, whose boast is a certain liberality of poli tical sentiment and action, are slow in assuming a position on the side of law and justice and humanity, against anarchy, usurpation, and barbarism. Russia has evidently well remembered the American sym pathies shown to her during the Crimean war. The Government regards with absolute certainty the speedy termination of our domestic difficulties should the rebel States receive no aid or comfort from England, and they are quite resolved not to deliberate for a single moment should England manifest any such insane disposition, but to launch against her the thunderbolts of a war that would not cease till every Power in Europe was involved. On this vital matter the President, the Secretary of State, and all the Cabinet entertain but one view, and are animated by the same sentiments. They feel they can rely to any extent on the courage and energy of the nation, which will sustain them at every sacrifice against England and all the world, when they see their dearest rights assailed and their best interests rudely trampled on. It is fortunate for the country, at this momentous crisis, that there shoald be no division of counsels as to' the best and safest policy both at home and abroad. It is equally fortunate that the President and Cabinet put so high an estimate on the sagacity and firmness of the Secretary of State, as well as upon his thorough knowledge of the condition and interests of Europe, that they are content at all times to defer to his views and support his sugges tions. It cannot but fill with surprise all who may have followed the career of this able statesman to see his usual caution and moderation suddenly converted by the force of events into boldness and decision. It is consoling to think that while the portfolio of the State Department is in his hands there will be no blunders to regret, and certainly no timidity to deplore. Secretary Chase submitted the oath of allegiance to the employes in his Department to day; 16 men refused to take it in the State Audi tor's-office, alone, and there were several in the other bureaus." On the 20th the Federal Government, by a simul- taneous movement, seized all the telegrams re ceived at the principal telegraph offices in the Free States during the last year. It was intended to establish two extensive camps of Federal troops—one on Staten Island and the other at Harrisburg. General Butler has left Annapolis for Fort Mon roe, where hostilities were anticipated early. The Federal steamers Thomas Freeborn and Star had shelled one of the Confederate batteries at Sewell's point, near Norfolk, and driven the garri son out. Hampton Roads was expected to be " covered with prizes" captured by the Federal cruisers. Further seizures of arms had taken place at Baltimore. Military reccnnaissanees have been pushed from Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, inside of the Vir ginian lines, at two points—Sheppardstown, 10 miles above llarper's Ferry, and Williamsport, 23 miles above. At Sheppardstown there were 303 brass pieces. Pieces of artillery were stationed on the Virginian side of the river, commanding the approaches to the bridge, also the approaches to the town. The troops were encamped in a dense wood crowning the heights opposite Williamsport. The Charleston Courier of the 17th of May re ports the raising of the blockade by the Niagara : " For two days past our port has been without the presence of the Niagara, which vessel has left for parts unknown. She has been reported off Savannah, in company with the brig Perry, and has been seen off North Edisto, but at present we have no certain information of her position. The Huntress has also been observed near this bar, but she has also loft. Our port is consequently without obstruction at the moment, and yesterday we had several arrivals from foreign ports, among them a cargo of molasses from Cardenas, and a British brig with pig iron and coal from Glasgow. The latter has been taken up to return to the same port, and has been engaged full of Sea Island cotton at the enormous freight of 24d per lb. Such a freight has not been given in the memory of the oldest inhabitant. Pas sengers by the railroad last evening report hearing some heavy firing yesterday afternoon in the direc tionsalut of Edisto. It was supposed that it was a salute to officers ofe t flagship he N Niagara of a r the r bloa te a d dl o n n g fleet, Monday to the ttthoh airvidteyisi Davishn afe Consul v d as g on its way epor here, and expected e e ar L h r rumour and incorrect.

Lieut. J. N. IVlaffit also arrived in this city from Montgomery. The steam-tug America had arrived at Philadel phia, having in tow the ship General Parkhill, of Charleston, and taken while attempting to make that port, on the return trip from Liverpool. The ship made two attempts to evade the blockade and ran into Charleston. She was ordered off twice, and attempte d to make signals to the land. She and sent North in charge of Passed was then seized , on tsburden,MidshipmanSly and she is and a prize crew. The ship is 555 owned by Patterson and Stark, of Charlesto n, South Carolina. The Confe derate steamer Calhoun had captured the barque • Ocean Eagle. The Southern Confederacy had eBtahlished a blockade at Memphis, prohibiting the passage of all upward-bound boats. Lord Lyons had been in communication with the British Consul at New Orleans, and the following is an extract from a despatch dated May Bth : " The best advice you can give British ships is to get off as fast as possible without serious inconveni ence. After the effective blockade has been com menced they will be allowed 15 days to take their departure, but they will not be allowed to carry out any cargo, or part of a cargo, taken on board after the effective blockade was actually begun. Indeed, according to the rules of blockade, I believe they will be liable to confiscation for attempting to go out with a cargo shipped after the commencement of a blockade. But the effective blockade does not begin until the blockading squadron actually ap pears off the port. The President's proclamation is only the declaration of an intention to blockade." The accounts respecting the movements of the Confederate troops on Virginia are vary meagre and unreliable, but it would appear that a considerable force was assembled at Harper's Ferry. Ex-Secretary of 'War, Mr. Floyd, had received a commission in the Confederate army. The following letter from an officer on board the Federal steamship Powhattau, dated off Pensacola, May 16, appears to give the most authentic news from that quarter. The writer says,— " There is now no use in concealing the fact that the fight here will be one of the mo s t desperate of the war. Our preparations are progressing rapidly, and fully justify us in the opinion that Fort Pickens is almost impregnable. But the gigantic strides making by Bragg's command may well prevent us from anticipating a quiet capture of the Navy-yard and Barrancas, the possession of which is neces sary to the end of hostilities in these parts. Now, it is on the best authority that I inform you that the Secessionists ashore muster 10,000 available fighting men, notwithstand ing previous estimates. They are scattered for miles around, and have some of the best officers in America to regulate their movements. There are at least six batteries that may open fire on Pickens now concealed, and of course the exact places in which they are situated no one of us can find out. The skill of three United States military and naval officers has been concentrated to make these most powerful, and Cummings' Point ravages on Sumter indicate what a hidden battery may do. Let it be distinctly understood, then, that on land at present the Secessionists number at least five times more than the Federal troops. Take all our available men from the ships, and you can not make up one-third of our enemy's strength. There have been serious impediments, too, placed in the water within eight days, and it is now very doubtful whether—forts left out—ships could go up to the yard. Then Montgomery and Warrington are connected by the iron railway horse, and rein forcements may be poured in. I mention these matters only to plainly establish one fact—namely, we cannot take a permanent and offensive stand in Florida with 1,500 men. Defend Pickens, hold Rosas Island, batter down M'Rae and Barrancas, we may; but will the American people be satisfied with this? Let the Cabinet decide whether Fede ral forces are concentrated here to defend Pickens until it shall be made of little consequence ; or to take the Navy-yard, and make the fort impregnable in time. c' THURSDAY, May 16, 7 p.m. " The evening muster of the rebel troops has just gone on. It was certainly an imposing sight. There cannot be less than 1,500 mounted men at tached to Bragg's command, and patrols of them ride along the road, French sentry fashion, all day and night. They evidently begin once more to think of acting on the offensive. Ten days ago their pluck was oozing out fast, but fresh arrivals from Mississippi and Georgia have fired them up again. I confess that they exhibit no signs of star vation, although an unusual temperance among them proves that specie is scarce. Several pieces of ordnance have been received from Alabama since the 2d ; one of them is a tremendous Dahlgren, said to have come from the Norfolk Navy-yard. Many pieces of cannon have also been sent down to the Navy-yard on floats ; but it is worth re marking that the enemy is leaving as little valu able material there as possible. Indeed, one of the Mississippi men was heard to say on Friday last, ' a horse that runs away once may ran away. again ; and a navy-yard that falls once may fall again ;' although this is only the remark of a com mon soldier, it shows a glimpse of the colour of his party's thoughts. A private in an army ought to be as significant as a straw in a river. " Lieitenant Renshaw, late of the United States Navy, is trying to earn a name for smartness. He has twice fooled' our men-of-war by sending up night signals according to the rules of the regular signal book ; but he has only shown his want of sense by suggesting what might be a rule of the rebels in fighting times. If he again succeed in get ting recognition from the fleet it will either be because he is aimed at on the yard-arm, or on ac count of some impossible annihilation of ear Flag Lieutenants. At the same time, all ship's officers would do well to bear in mind that in Texas and Florida, resigned officers used the private service signals successfully. Lieutenant Renshaw is now Commodore of four Confederate, naval vessels which may, without exaggeration be dubbed the nautilus war fleet. He is working hard to make the old wrecked steamer Fulton fit for his flagship, and if she be too rotten to suit that purpose, there is no sound plank in her hull. The United States corvette St. Louis, whose commander was transferred to the Brooklyn, is reported as coming in while I write. She has been to Key West on busin.ess':and returns for further orders. The St. Louis and the Sabine are giving some trouble to us. Their term of service having expired many of the men want to go home and be discharged. The naval law says that having returned to the United States, sailors and marines who have served their full period of enlistment, must be paid off. Hence their fidgetiness, which would amount to nothing in itself, but for another circumstance. Brilli ant, cunning. Commodore In graham, late from the Richmond corvette, is having it reported throughout the British, French, and Spanish naval vessels on this station, that the Ame rican Government is impressing crews for service. He attempts to prove it by a written protest signed by three deserters from the squadron— one Englishman and two Baltimoreans—who are now gunners for Bragg, The majority of the men in both the vessels named are willing to stay on board as long as the country wants them. Their pay is legally one-fourth more th an usua l, b u t t wo dissatisfied fellows are a greater annoyance than ten prizefighters." The Federal bark D. C. Pierce was sunk by the Secessionists at Norfolk on the sth. The Governor of Kentucky had issued a pro clamation in which he says : " I hereby notify and warn all other States. separate or united, especially the United and Con federate States, that I solemnly forbid any move soil, or occupation of any port or move ment upon authorised by invitation or permission of the mpeutuhKereenin Kentucky for any until any purposes whatever, legis lative and executive authorities. I especially forbid all citizens of Kentucky, whether incorporated in the State Guard or otherwise, making any hostile u e e t t ityo and the peaceably orders of demonstrations against any of the aforesaid sove reignties to to be when off military duty, and refrain from all words at home authorities, and acts likely to provoke a collision, and so other wise conduct themselves that the deplorable calamity of invasion may be averted ; but meanwhile make remain ub e d quietly prompt and efficient preparation to assume the paramount and supreme law of self-defence, and strictly of self-defence alone." Advises from Texas report that General Young was pursuing Capt. Montgomery and the Federal troops. The baggage and ammunition trains were overtaken and seized, with some beeves and horses. A private telegram from Helena, Arkansas, an nounces the explosion of the steamer Kentucky, and a loss of 20 lives. In the Honolulu advices we find it reported that her Majesty's steamer Alert took formal possession, for the Queen of England, of Forming's Island, located in lat. 30 49 N., long. 159 20 W., on the Bth of February. The flag of Great Britain was raised amidst a salute of small arms and a 12-pound field howitzer. The entire ship's company officiated at the ceremony. The harbour has been termed English Harbour," and the point on which the settlement is situated wi.s called " English Point." KONGKONG.—Mr. Thomas J. Callaghan (of the Irish bar), at present chief magistrate at llongkong, has been appointed to administer the government of Labuan during the absence of the Governor, the llon. E. Edwards. Mr. Callaghan has also received authority from tho Foreign office to act as Consul-General, in the room of Mr. St. John. It is probable that the two offices may be united, paying tileroby effectedt—WBcrver. HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY'S NEW G.ROUNDS. Scarcely a month has elapsed since we n o ti c ed in detail the progress of the works connected with the exquisitely beautiful new gardens of thi s s o c i e ty at Kensington. Even at that time it had been fixed that the formal opening•should take place on the sth of this month, though it required no ordinary amount of credulity, or at le as t con fid ence i n th e activity of the Council and skill of the contractor, to believe that it could be brought to even a tole rable state of completion by August. The un usual rainfall of last summer, the almost unpre cedented severity of the - winter, followed almost immediately by the strike of the masons and bricklayers, for a time upset all calculations as to progress, and, as we have said, even as recently as a month ago the opening fete fixed for to-morrow seem e d a ll b u t i mposs ibl e. Y et, in spite of every difficulty, the Council have perse vered to the last, and the result of their determina tion is shown in the completion of such an immense amount of work in the last three or four weeks as literally appears almost incredible. At the be ginning of last month the site of the now almost completed gardens was a mere mass of excavations. The mounds for the beautiful terraces were in some cases only just being raised. The very bricklayers and stonemasons were up to yesterday at work in the arcades. A few weeks ago, and only two or three columns marked the spot where a perfect con servatory now stands—long, wide, and lofty enough to be almost designated a little Crystal Palace. Even the excavations for the reservoirs were hardly begun ; the lawns were not tufted, the ornamental parterres unattempted, the paths still ungravelled, and, in fact, scarcely marked; and the shrubberies, which are now formed of thousands of rhododen drons in every variety of bloom, were then mere heaps of planking, and covered with the debris of building materials of all kinds. Since that time, then, as we have said, such an amount of work has been accomplished that the result seems almost magical. Not that the gardens are by any means finished, or even nearly complete, in all their ex quisite details. The centre reservoir has merely been bricked round, and therefore only holds enough water to mark its future purpose. Only two of the trout :streams on the eastern side have been com pleted. None of the niches for statuary have been filled, and only a few of the handsome stone and marble vases with which the piers of all the terrace balustrades will be surmounted are yet placed. The band-houses, too, are not begun ; the stone steps of the terraces will be represented to-morrow by wooden substitutes, and of the beautifully de signed balustrade which is hereafter to sur mount almost the whole length of lofty arcade, only a few feet have been put in position as a specimen of what the general effect will ultimately be., The recesses for busts will not yet be filled ; no fountains will play, and the great cascade which is to fall into the chief reservoir will not be finished for a couple of months or so. In addition to all this, also, much has to be done towards completing the ultimate colour decorations of the arcades, and above all in carving their massive stone capitals and basements, only one of each of which is now cut to show what the whole will be when finished. It is perhaps not too much to say that next year's spring will be on be fore all this is effected, and before the garden, quite recovered from the severe winter and the effects of this year's transplanting, will bloom in all its splen dour. Yet, notwithstanding all these drawbacks, the grounds already look like a miniature fairyland, and as the visitor's eye ranges over the superb diversity of lawns and shrubberies, parterres, and terraces, he will not unnaturally think, when such effects are produced from little more than half finished ground, the coup d'eil which they must present when complete will be something unequalled in the history of terraced gardens. It is almost impossible to overpraise the simple, exquisite beauty of this arrangement—the taste and skill with which the most elegant examples of garden architecture are introduced, and the effective grouping of the different kinds of plants, interspersed with vases and statuary. The parterres, with their winding and involved paths, inlaid with various kinds of coloured stone, broken fine, are now all finished, and their effect is charming, and for once surpasses the expec tations formed from the pictorial design on paper. The great conservatory is also entirely finished, with its outer verandah facing the south. The whole interior of this beautiful building is painted with light, cool, neutral colours, which will harmonise well with the plants it is to contain, and also with the light and slender proportions of the structure itself. The background of this, with its double arcade and gallery above, is one of the gems of the garden. On double banks in this conservatory, and along the wall-side of the semi-circular arcade which extends from both ends down into the gardens, will be ar ranged the flower show of to-morrow. On the suc cess of this display we need scarcely add that the Horticultural Society have spared no trouble; and we are told that the exhibition, both for the number, exce ll e nce, and variety of the specimens, will be the finest that has been seen for many years. In stove and greenhouse plants, plants of variegated foliage, orchids , and fruit, the show will be un usually excellent. In order to give the best oppor tunity of seeing this collection, the gardens are to be opened to the public at one o'clock. The Prince Consort, who is to formally open the gardens, with the other members of the Royal family, will not arrive till half-past 4. The Royal party will be received by a procession, formed by the Vice-Presi dents and Council of the society, the Royal Com missioners for 1851, and the members of the Fine Arts and Works Committee, &c. Preceded by these noblemen and gentlemen, his Royal Highness and party will traverse the main avenues of the gardens to the front of the conservatory, where the address from the society will be read and the reply delivered. In a little parterre on the east side of the terrace beneath the conservatory the Prince will plant . a Wellingtonia giga n t ea , g i ven b y Messrs. Veitch and Sons, and at the conclusion of a prayer by the Bishop of London the gardens will be formally declared to be opened. After this slight ceremony, the Royal party will examine at their leisure the various classes of the flower show, both in the conservatory and under the arcades, and after partaking of refreshments, again traverse the grounds, quitting them finally at six o'clock. During the remainder of this year, with the excel). tion of the days devoted to rose, dahlia, chrysan themum, and general fruit and flower shows, the gardens will only be open to the public on Satur days. On the other days only the Fellows of the society will be admitted; but as these have also the privilege of passing: in two friends, the attend ance is likely always to be fully as numerous as is consistent with the due progress of the works that have yet to be completed. Next year, during the time of the Exhibition, they will be open nearly every day in the week, at charges in proportion to the high or low charges to the Exhibition itself. A great number of tickets have already been sold for the opening fete of to-morrow, and if the weatheris only moderately propitious, a most bril liant assemblage is anticipated. RETURN OF GERMANS FROM AMERICA.—The Hamburg journals of the 26th May state that in the last steamer which arrived in that port from New York were 364 Germans, who had returned home from America, and they announced that they would shortly be followed by a considerable number of their countrymen. The reason why these people returned was to avoid being obliged to take military service. They add that business is dull in the United States, and that the manufacturers are doing nothing.

The Sirius target ship has been placed alongside Portsmouth Dockyard, where she will have new armour plates bolted on her broadside, for experi mental practice from the guns of the Stork. The plates lying by the ship in readiness for fixing in clude Messrs. Beale's Yorkshire plate of 13 feet 6 inches in length, and a " sample" plate for the Va liant, 7 feet 9 inches in length. Both plates are upwards of 3 feet in breadth, and are of the standard 41 inches in thickness. The plates on this occasion will be bolted on the starboard side of the ship. All former experiments on the Sirius, including plates fromthe Thames Iron Shipbuilding Company, Messrs. Westwood and Baillie, the Trusty's plates, and the chain armour, have taken place on the port side of the ship. It is consequently partially de stroyed. In some parts the shot has driven a por tiid, ripping on e of the earmour plate before it through the ship's s up planking and ends of beams in its progress. In other parts it has failed to penetrate the plate, but has driven it inwards, carrying before it a good portion of the ship's timber and planking. In consequence of the withdrawal of the convicts from Chatham Dockyard, to be employed in brick making on St. Mary's Island, Admiralty orders have been forwarded to Capt.

TIIE ARMY. The annual regimental dinner of the Ist Life Guards took place at the London Tavern on Satur day, the Ist inst. _ _ The paddlewheel steamer Punjab, the arrival of which from India has been previously announced, disembarked her troops at Government-quay, Gravesend, yesterday. The Punjab sailed from Bombay on the Bth of February, rounded the Cape of Good Hope on the 16th of March, encountering very bad weather; reached St. Helena on the 7th of April, and sailed thence on the 11th of the same month. She passed Ascension on the 19th April, and sighted the Lizard on the 23d May. During the principal portion of the voyage south of the Equator the ship encountered light easterly winds. The number of troops who embarked at Bombay was 118 men of all ranks, with 8 women and 9 children, belonging to various regiments, the whole under the command of Major C. F. Kelly, 18th Royal Irish, and Lieut. W. G. Shanty, Ist Royals. The number of deaths on board during the passage was nine, including Lieut. Dowell, of the Punjab. The Punjab made the voyage to England under sail, her paddlewheels having been taken out. She has been sent home to be altered to a screw steamer, and she will be docked at-Woolwich for that purpose. In accordance with orders received at Chatham from the War Department upwards of 2,000 of Martin's liquid iron shells had been supplied to the principal batteries in the Chatham district, the greater number having been distributed to Tilbury Fort and New Tavern Fort, and the defences at the entrance to the river Medway. Cupolas for melt ing the iron have been furnished to each of the stations named. The cupola for preparing the mol ten iron with which Martin's shells are charged consists of cylindrical shell of thick wrought iron, lined with prepared fire-bricks, with a blast fan attached. The cupola and fan are mounted on a frame furnished with four travelling wheels, each of which is 24 inches in diameter. An apparatus contrived for driving the fan with manual labour is connected with the cupola when in use, by two tie rods, each about 11-} feet in length ; but these are removable, so that when in motion the cupola and driving apparatus are entirely separate. The driving gear of the fan is so constructed that, whenever steam power is available, it can at once be applied,in stead of manual labour, Aveling's portable agricul tural steam-engines and others of the same kind being adapted for this purpose. When the blast-fan is driven by manual labour 18 men are required to work it, with short reliefs. In about 20 minutes after the fire in the cupola is lighted the iron is put in, and in about a quarter of an hour after the fan has been. put in motion the molten iron can be run off into the shells. A ton of metal can be melted in about 30 minutes. Allowing, therefore, for waste, the number of shells that can be filled in one hour is 140 of the 8-inch 68-pounders, and the same number of the 10-inch 96-pounders. The estimated weight of the machine is 4 tons 13 cwt. ROYAL INSTITUTION. At the evening meeting of the members on Fri day, Dr. Bond delivered a lecture on the nutriment and reparation of the nerves. The lecture was announced to have been delivered by Dr. Waller, who has been for some time engaged in investiga tions on the structure of the nerves ; but, owing to the illness of that gentleman, Dr. Bond undertook to supply his place, which he did in a very able manner ; and as he had assisted Dr. Waller in his experiments, he was enabled to state the results almost as well as the original investigator. Up to a comparatively recent time it was the opinion of physiologists that injuries to the nerves could not be repaired, but it now appears, from the researches of several distinguished foreign physiologists, as e l i wh i chc a t d e r l y e dt h well as from those of Dr. Waller, that the nerves receive nutriment and undergo repair in the same manner as the bones, or any other part of the animal frame. A great portion of the lecture was occupied by explaining the structure of the nerves, which were described as being divided into two examinations principal kinds, viz., those which proceed directly from the brain, and those termed sympathetic nerves, which extend in directions at right angles., rom to the 'former. The ramification of the nerves was the spinal cord to all parts of t t h e e te body dthat some of mi nutely explained, and Dr. Bond experimentsh un ration of nerves were. are flneespisaeratd not b a ron r o o uag exceedh hoot u. nerve together,th n t h a theth e n b e o r d v y e arefilaments made by Dr . m in an Waller to ascertain the rep thicknesshain The e e a substance f most decisive. cut course of • to com bine medullary bee T i! he utin two was found °a restored.

Dr. Bond referred to various diagrams for the purpose of illustrating the mode by which nerves can be reproduced, and having concluded that part of the subject, he entered briefly into the con sideration of the source of nervous influence. From the instantaneous nature of its action, and from other analogies, he was inclined to compare it to electrical agency; and this view, he thought, was confirmed by examination of the cells contain ing medullary matter, which exhibit in their diffe rent states some similarity to the effects of chemi cal decomposition, by which voltaic electricity is produced. In consequence of an alteration in the original programme of the Friday evening lectures, the season will not conclude, as usual, with a lecture by ProfeBsor Faraday; but it will be brought to a termination on Friday next with a lecture, by Dr. Tindall, on solar chemistry, and there will be an extra lecture this (Monday) evening by Mr. T. C. Newton on the mausoleum at Halicarnassus. _,
