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 purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea 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.

WASHINGTON, SEPT. 13. The most vital and important question of the hour here—perhaps of the year—is the course which will be taken in Kentucky. The Legislature has decided by a large majority to demand that the Con federate troops be withdrawn from the State—so we hear. It is added that the Legislature refused to entertain the proposal that a similar demand should be addressed to the Federal troops. General Anderson has arrived at Frankfort, the capital, to take command of the latter, and had been well re ceived by the people, and Gen. Fremont announces that the first gun has been mounted on the Federal repubt which has been erected on Kentuckian soil to protect their camp of occupation. The Confederates retain their old position, and it would seem as if they are now acting in defiance of the will of the majo rity of the State. What course Governor Macgoffin will take, if he consult his sympathies, can easily be imagined, nor will he be unlikely to follow the steps of the Governor of Missouri under similar cir cumstances. The State of Kentucky contains 37,680 square miles, and a population of about 1,200,000. It is larger than the kingdoms of Bavaria, Denmark, Greece, or Portugal, and twice the size of the Swiss Republic; in fact, there are only a few monarchies and empires in Europe which exceed it in surface. In one year, from 1858 to 1859, the value of taxable property increased 28,480,000 dols., and last year such property was estimated at 493,409,363 dols. It occupies a central and most im portant position in the Union, divided from Ten nessee by a mere line on the map ; from Missouri by the Mississippi; from Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio by the Ohio River; from Virginia by the Cumberland Mountains and by the Big Sandy River, which is by no means a formidable boundary. It will be seen that there is a real physical boundary between Kentucky and the Free States which still ad here to the Union, while the Slave and seceded State of Tennessee stretches along her southern frontier without any perceptible natural line, and Virginia touches on the east with far less defined boundaries than exist between the free States and the neutral power. It is much to be feared that nothing can save the State from civil war. There is a strong party for peace and neutrality, but its efforts will be crushed by armed force on both sides; and the guerilla of Western Virginia will be extended to Kentucky unless something of a nature little less than miraculous intervenes. The Confederates seem to be clearly to blame for the result in this instance, at all events, and to have produced the state of things which renders conflict unavoidable. The various State conventions are now in activity, and by watching the proceedings a juster opinion will be formed than I can give of the probable action of parties at the elections. In the North the war sentiment seems to prevail over ev - erythingt else, and the cry for the " Union" drowns every other sound. The expedition to Hatteras has to some extent demonstrated the non-existence of any considerable number of Unionists in that part of North Carolina, unless they be held by terror from coming over. Very few of the thousands spoken of have yet come in. On Tuesday, Sept. 11, the Maryland State Peace Convention nominated Mr. Howard, a strong peace man, for Governor, and appointed committee to draw up an address to the people of the State. The meet ing greatly approved one sentiment of Professor Smith, who said " Peace and union go together ; war and union never." All this means States' rights and Southern sympathies. The Union delegates from the wards of the city of Baltimore have also nominated their candidates for the State Legisla- ture. General Dix has commanded the Mayor of Baltimore to cease payments to the men of the old police force who were superseded by the military authorities; and the mayor, after a solemn protest against the interference, informs General Dix that his order shall be respected. The war against seces sion emblems and colours is carried on rigorously by the police. I may as well warn Englishmen who intend coming over here to visit the South, that they will not be permitted to do so. Their passports, with out which they cannot travel in the States, are countersigned by Mr. Seward in these words, " It is expected that the bearer will not enter any of the insurrectionary States." Major J. F. De Courcey, who formerly held a commission in the Turkish Contingent during the Crimean war, has tendered his services to the Government, which has accepted them, but it must be understood that English offi cers generally cannot expect the promotion and high place they look for in Washington. They must know, also, that they act in opposition to the Queen's proclamation inaccepting service on either side. There are, however, a number of English subjects engaged as officers on both sides, and the Irish may be counted by myriads (in its proper sense) in both armies. Passes to visit the lines are given with reluctance, and sometimes are refused altogether. Permits to go South are refused on the ground that the Presi dent's proclamation forbids all intercourse between the United States and those in revolt ; and now the road through Kentucky, hitherto open to those who were not bound by the terms of their passports to remain in the United States, will be closed. How our Consuls are to act it is not easy to say. They cannot communicate with Lord Lyons or with their chief at home, and they cannot get their salaries unless a ship of war be sent to communicate with their ports. The utmost delicacy and caution must be observed in the preservation of our neutrality. It would be well if our American cousins could un derstand that there is a difference between the neu trality of a nation and neutrality of sentiment on the part of the persons composing it. A nation may preserve neutrality, and the sympathies of its people may be nevertheless all on one side. Professor Way, of London, has been here for some days exhibiting his electric light to the savans and military and naval officers at the Smithsonian. Lord Lyons sends despatches to England by the Arago, which sails on Saturday (September 14). SEPTEMBER 12. The city of Washington, which is the great centre of military interest, has considerable natural claims to such a doubtful favour. It was the seat of the Federal Government, and certain members of the Confederate Government when the civil war began threatened to take it ; therefore a force was assem bled for its defence. But as that force was augmented the 1 ederal leaders announced that it had an ulti mate offensive object. Thence it became necessary for the Confederates to oppose its further progress by a concentration of troops in face of their enemy. To give strength to the resistance of the South, and to cover the lines of communication as far as possi ble, the Confederate Government removed to Rich mond. The North, irritated and indignant,.began to* sound its battle cry and clamour for the conduct of the army against the Confederate capital. Each of the belligerents threatened the other with the loss of the seat of their Government. The consequences of the success of the South, however, would have been much more important than those of the success of the North. Washington is the national capital, and, whatever distinctions the Americans of the Union party might have drawn as to its possession by either a foreign or internal feta, the effect on the n,tions of Europe of finding Mr. Jefferson Davis in the White House and the Confederate Senate in the Capitol must have led to something more decided than mere neutrality and non-recognition. It has been suggestedashingtonby on hi cmseslira. himself was to influencede n the selectionmethat Washington the situ tions of a military character, which related to an e absolute defensive power in the position itself. It s is not easy to believe that the Genera l ever looked far in advance as to provide against a p olitical contingency in which the Capitol would be menaced either from the North or the South; but, if he did, the ground was chosen well, especially in view of that which is now taking place. The success of the British expedition is no proof that the place was badly selected as regards naval operations and foreign enemies, inasmuch as there were no defensive works on the river at the time, and this very day the " de fenders," as they are called, of Baltimore, which is more exposed than Washington, are preparing to cel,-brate the anniversary of the repulse of a British force in an attack on the place similar to that we made with greater success on the capital itself. It is a curious reflection that Fort M‘Henry, which is now the Bastile of Maryland and the political prison of the people arrested under the United States' lettres de cachet, was the work from which floated " the star-spangled banner," made famous here at least by the spirited words of a young American confined in one of the British men of-war during the bom bardment, and who wrote the song, tradition has it, on the very morning of the action. The " star spangled banner" which flies there at present by no means indicates " the land of the free," though it may certainly mark "the home" for the time "of the brave." There are whole acres of that handsome flag, however, floating over miles of earthworks, and redoubts and camps around Washington on both sides of the Potomac. It is not possible that the Confederate Generals . can be meditating a direct front attack on the place, sinless they are satisfied that the Federalists will not stand inside their works. But common sebse must teach the latter that, with a deep river-behind them, crossed by two narrow bridges, discretion and valour would unite in prompting them to make a most vigorous resist ance. The Confederates have still their screws and flat boats in the creeks below the city ; but the Potomac flotilla for ever moves up and down before the watery dells in which they lie hid, and an attempt to throw Hoops over to the Maryland side now would be far less likely to succeed than it would have been a month ago. The movements of Beau regard in our front seem to show that he is taking ground more to his left, and it is probable that his centre is nearly opposite Smith's force, which is thrown across the Chain bridge five miles above Washington. The packing up of his tents and bag gage along a considerable portion of his front may be for the execution of the various movements con nected with the massing of the troops, or they may be interpreted to mean either that there is a plan to make an attempt to get into Maryland as I have indicated, or that the General wishes to be in a if, deceiv e d by f a l se re - Cletlan is moving out p p o o r si t t a i , o h n e t s o e m pp a o n a ce es u v G r e e n f e r r e a e l ly ivp to attack him. The path of the Confederate Gene rals is beset with difficulties, the greater part of which have arisen from the want physically of transport, and morally of enterprise and daring, and in the torpor which came over them after the battle of Manassas. They have now an immense body of armed men t o oppose any m ay make, w h ere eight weeks have met only mut i nous mo b s. a m g o o ve t m he e y nts wo th u e ld y Acting on the larger arc, from the outer circle, they are exposed to the operations of the Federal ists, who can move on infinitely shorter lines ; and, though the Pennsylvanians may think it necessary to begin to fortify Philadelphia, there is at present little likelihood, indeed, of any enemy approaching their commercial centre. The Potomac is an im mense wet ditch, only to be approached at three places for 40 miles, unless roads are made over the mountains and masses of rock covered with forest which form its banks from Harper's Ferry to Wash ington almost uninterruptedly. On all the points where an army could be thrown across there are corps of observation posted, except at Harper's Ferry, where the bridge is destroyed, and the Mary land shore easily commanded and reached by the troops, which could be transported thither before an enemy could establish himself in force. The Confederates are suffering much from sickness ; but the worst part of the season is yet to come, and the South rings with applications for warm cloth ing, medicines, shoes, and similar necessaries for her troops. Here, where the Federalists have supplies close at hand, there is a good deal of sickness, and it is increasing. Buildings are added to the number of those hired as hospitals, and fill up as fast as they are ready. Indeed, what can be expected when men, often ill clad, are obliged to lie out at night, on their arms, under the semi-tropical rains at this season of the South, and are baked in the day by a broiling sun ? Any one who rides along the Canal banks, or the margin of any sheet of water which affords facilities for bathing, will not fail to perceive that, though the men are not indifferent to cleanliness, shirts and clothing require much inves tigation and pursuit of insect life on the part of the wearers before they can be put on; and some of the regiments, such as the 2d Wisconsin, whom I saw marching to day, exhibit a great number of siekly looking faces and debilitated frames—far different from their appearance when I first saw them. The Confederates, I think, must suffer in a still greater degree, and though the Southern gentleman may come North in summer to recruit his strength at the watering-places, the men in camp will not find exposure to cold nights and hot suns and the ad vancing rigours of autumnal and winter weather at all conducive to health in Northern Virginia. What ever the military value of Washington may be, there can be no question that those who are happy enough to live in it are exposed to some disadvan tages at the same time, in consequence of the alarms of war to which they are subject. Every gun-fire sends a thrill through the city. The people run out to the door steps and to the windows—others get on the roofs of their houses—some cluster on the front of the public buildings and gather on the lefty rising. grounds. Soon Rumour comes with a tre mendous twanging long bow and lets off awful squibs and crackers among the men and women, along the avenues, and up the by -streets and nar row lanes. Sometimes he is disguised as a gentle man of the press, and does a little bit of " local news" for a second edition ; occasionally he is an officer from just round the corner who knows all about the fight, and can tell the exact number of the killed and wounded; and anon he is a "highest authority"—a clerk in a warfaring department, or a respectable-looking old citien, or one who has " this moment come in frorr4 the vicinity of the slaughter." It is no joke to le living in the way of this universal toxophilitd practice ; but the excitement subsides as soon as!it is created. I often wonder what state of things it) the Great Republic will those little children live t? see whose memories of childhood will be filled with the thunder of can non, the blast of trumpets, the March of armed men, the flint and steel, waving of flags, and clink of spur and sabre—all those tiny Zouaves and pretty Union maidens, with their red, white, and blue sashes and ribands, who are now passing thought lessly and happily through the most fearful periods their history can know. The mall folk in Balti more will probably have strange reminiscences of being seized by policemen for wearing treasona ble beau knots on their aprons, and sporting Secession and Confederate colours round 4heir nicks. To. day there were two alarms, the first about 2 o'clock. One was created by firing across the river, which died away, and proved to be from the guns in the works, which it was deemed desirable to re load. About four o'clock the noise of a cannonade up the river towards the Chain-bridge roused every one again, and, in spite of the rain and threatening weather, the people got on thei house tops. Gen. M'Clellan and his Staff rode at full speed to the bridge, which is about five miles distant, but before they arrived the affair was over, and the General arrived only in time to hear the cheers of the troops returning from the field. I never heard in Ame rica more enthusiastic and vigorous cheering than marked their retu rn t o camp, and their reception of o n f co tl n ie se a l a t r r i e w t t e h a a t . h e T m h e e n p i n a r s t p i e i t u e l , a o r s r i the General, w h o h as ev id ently become most popu consequence w o i f l , l his be found in the American papers—in brief, General M'Clellan, anxious to find out what force the Con- federates were in hetbre the Chain-bridge, directed a reconnaissance partly for that purpose and partly to enable the engineers to take a sketch of the ground in front. Accordingly, a force of 1.900 men, with four guns and two troops of cavalry, moved eut from their camp on the south side of the Poto mac at seven o'clock a.m., and marched to Lewins ville, a village four miles out on the road, whence roads proceed• towards Fairfax, Falls Church and Leesburgh, seeing merely a few cavalry videttes.on their way. Having posted the men so as to cover the reconnoissance, Lieut. Poe, United States' To pographical Engineer, and Lieut. West, United States' Coast Survey, made a careful sketch of the ground, with a view to an advance at some future time. They were not interrupted, although the enemy's cavalry could be seen in the distance. The survey over the pickets were recalled, and the force at three o'clock was marching towards camp on its way back, when the enemy, who had succeeded unperceived in moving down a battery on the flank of the column, within 1,500 yards of it, opened on it with a shell, and, at the same time, commenced a fusilade f rom concea l e d skirmishers. The United States' guns returned the fire ; a 32-pounder and reinrorcements poured towards the spot from General Smith's camp, and the Confederate guns were silenced after a brisk exchange of rifled shot and shell. The at tempt to cut off the reconnaissance was completely foiled, and the Federalists returned to camp with the loss of two officers wounded, five men killed, and 12 wounded. General in his short official despatch says, " We shall have no more Bull Run affairs." There might have been a general action very readily created out of this affair, but I cannot see how the Federalists could have failed to inflict a defeat on their opponents, As I was returning, two batteries of artillery and seven battalions of infan try were advancing rapidly under General VOCall towards the bridge from the camp at Tinnally town, in order to support General Smith's force, which is now strongly entrenched at the Virginia side, and has also thrown up a powerful fieldwork on a site commanding the surrounding country. The orde.s here are not to do anything to bring on a general engagement at present. FRIDAY MORNING, Sept. 13. There are reports in the journals this morning of a defeat and rout of Floyd, the Secessionist General, by Rosencranz, near Summerville, in Western Vir ginia, o❑ the 11th of September, and the affair is called, as usual, "a brilliant victory;" but the victo rious General makes no such assertion, and his mo dest despatch would rather imply that he received a check in his attack on the enemy, who retired dur ing the night, and crossed the Gauley without mo lestation in the face of a suparior force, who were not aware of his movements till informed of it by a runaway contraband next morning. The Confede rates must, however, have been in a bad position and have suffered considerably,otherwise they would not have abandoned their camp equipage, two stands of colours, and a quantity of military stores, and it is probable they were inferior in force to the Fede ralists. From 3 o'clock till ❑ightfall the latter en deavoured to find their way to the Confederate position, but as they had marched 17 miles before they attacked they were completely exhausted just as they were about - to assault; and at last General Rosencranz withdrew and fell back, re infecta, with a loss of 120 killed and wounded. As the enemy have carried off their guns and their wounded at leisure they may be considered as a dangerous element in Western Virginia at the other side of the Gauley,' ready, perhaps, to be troublesome on the frontier of Kentucky. Here is another of those battles or slow skirmishes which are only great in consequence of the number of men engaged in them, which are characteristic of this war. Rosencranz is an officer of very good reputation. Floyd is well known as the Secretary of War under the last Administra tion. The latter takes ground amid woods and in trenches himself, with a river rushing through a deep gorge in his rear, for the mere purpose, it would appear, of fighting, because he could have crossed if he liked, inasmuch as he had the means of making a bridge, which he used in retiring next night, and had a ferry at his disposal also. The attack fails. Then Floyd crosses by the bridge and the ferry, and destroys the former and the boats of th latter. Rosencranz, though his men had been resting all night, refuses to follow, the "troops being still much fatigued," and there being " no material for immediately replacing the bridge," and he therefore thought it " prudent to encamp." Neither Federalist nor Confederate will gain much at this rate. Nor is the retreat of General Green, of the Secessionist army, before General Pope of the Union army,in Missouri, of much more consequence in reference to the ultimate objects of the war. All such operations are in the interests of the Peace party. It may be true that there are 300,000 men under arms on both sides in a small area, but as yet they,are immobile, and have only a sort of vis inertzce which enables them to resist attack. When the news of Rosencranz having defeated Floyd came in last night there was a gloom over the "best houses" here, for, despite arrests, oath•taking, dismissals, and various forms of purgation, there is still a very strong air of Southern " disloyalty" left among the Washingtonians. Indeed,so strong is itthat a paper published here in the interests of the Government finds it necessary to rebuke and denounce the fair traitor in the following strain,and if imprisonment cannot convert them perhaps a course of leaders will have a better effect : " No one who is not residing here, and con vincing himself with his own eyes and ears, will believe that one-half of the women of Washington clap their hands over every rebel success, predict Beauregard's speedy occupation of the capital, and are preparing to illuminate their windows on the occasion. Yet this is the truth. A portion of them act thus because they have relatives or lovers in the Southern army ; the remainder because secession has a certain sneaking fashionableness among the women ; because Southerners in Wash ington have for years worn great diamonds, given great parties, gambled greatly, and been generally and magnificently vicious. The odour of the reck less dissipation, so long the false and feverish life of Washington, still taints and corrupts all places. Impurity, treachery, scorn of virtue, still flaunt through the capital, and it will take many years' influx of healthy Northern sentiment to drive them out of sight." Supposeyour own correspondent had written such an eloquent little sketch of American ladies—the belles of the capital of the United States ! The Anglo-Saxon is very much the same all over the world in some respects. His peculiarities are, per haps, intensified in this continent. The American muse, refusing absolutely to provide anything good or new as a national anthem, even though invoked in the name of Dollar the Omnipotent, has taken to a good deal of writing anent Bull's Run, and one " poem" this morning, in describing the retreat, breaks into this fashion : " Backward rolls the living tide, " Surging like the Stygian wave, " Horse and rider terrified— " Lost is honour, home, and grave. * * * " Backward sweeping —backward sweeping— " Dead and dying left behind, " Madly shrieking, wildly weeping, " Friend nor foe can mercy find." It would be a curious but not a grateful task to cull the flowers of rhetoric in the wide -spread garden of abuse, accusation, and invective, that spring up all over the States in reference to that same retreat from Manassas. When the stain is to be effaced it is not possible to say, but I am disposed to think General M'Clellan will do it when he does move, if his troops e,re properly led by their regimental officers. The officers of the regular army, however much they may love the Union, do not, as a body, love the present Government. On the contrary, they regard the greater number of the Cabinet with aversion and detest the - r principles. It is hard for men to fight for a cause with good heart, and at the same time hold in contempt those who have that cause in hand at the moment. I was talking to an officer the other day in front of his tent, around which were standing six other officers. The conver sation turned on Gen. Fremont's proclamation, and one said, " If this is to be made a war against slavery I shall resign, no matter what the conse quences may be." I don't think there was an officer there, except one, who did not join in and say, " I would do the same." On inquiry I found some were Marylanders, ono from Delaware, one a Virginian, one from Ohio, and one from New York ; and it was remarked to me that every one of them had voted against Mr. Lincoln. The Black Repub licans, somehow or other, are not considered " gen teel." They are noted as unfashionable and low, and it is odd enough to see men who are tobacco, sugar, and rice merchants, swelling with, indigna tion at the idea of being ruled by a set of hungry lawyers and politicians sprung from the very lowest condition in society. In a Monarchy one might comprehend this extreme disgust, but it seems out of place here. However, though the law does not create or define them, there are strong and broad limits between the different classes in society, which, purely conventional as they are, nevertheless are rigidly observed. All men are equal, but it by no means follows that the man who sells tobacco be hind a counter is equal to the man who grows tobacco for sale on his estate. The North has got the taint of commerce upon it ; the South, from its broad fields of profitable crops, worked by negroes, turns up its refiner nosp..at the smell of the lucre, though not indifferent to the thing itself. As one of my friends expressed it, " The North may put what construction they please upon the war, and shout for the Union as long as they please. We are determined never to be ruled by a set of to rv-lived blackguards and (excuse the words) suffer our property to be at the mercy of the loafers in these overgrown towns. This is a war of gentlemen against the rule of snobs." The snobs are not always beaten in sucu battles, and according to one defini tion of that peculiar race, it may not be easy to de termine how far they may be distributed on both sides. Any way, it is a most miserable war, and the sooner it is ended the better for America and mankind. IHI - : Nei YY. VALETTA, September 23.—There have been no arrivals or departures of men of-war since the French mail left on the 21st inst. Sir James Out ram arrived by the last Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Southampton. I regret to learn that the gallant and veteran General is in a weak state of health. On recruiting his strength he will proceed, I understand, on a visit to Constan tinople. The Warrior, 40, screw, Capt. the Hon. Arthur A. Cochrane, according to present arrangements, will be undocked at Portsmouth on Thursday next. Her bottom is now receiving the outer coat of Hay's composition, and the workmen of the Thames Iron Shipbuilding Company are busily engaged in fixing the screw rivets in the plates where the launching cleats had been taken off. Judging by the number of people who go to visit the ship, who are freely admitted on beard by the authorities while she is in dock, the interest she has excited since her arri val at the pelt is daily increasing. She has cut into her midship blocks under her keel some two inches, much less than had been anticipated from her enormous weight—nearly 9,000 tons. From the Warrior's great length, and the fact that a por tion of her body rests on the second dock, it is doubtful whether No. 10 alone had nut to sustain a greater pressure upon its floor when it held the Marlborough. The Chanticleer, 17, screw, completed her offi cial trials under the supervision of the officers of the Reserve and Engineering departments at Portsmouth on Thursday. Oa her trial she drew 11 feet water aft, and 13 feet 6 inches forward. The engines attained 90 revelations, the load on the valve being 201 b., the pressure on the gauge, 221 b., and the vacuum, 25.5. The mean speed of the vessel in knots, was 11.28. The performance of the ma chinery was of the most satisfactory character, and was highly commended by the officers ort board. The Chanticleer is the third vessel of her class and de scription that has been fitted at Portsmouth, her two predecessors—the Rinaldo and Pelican—having been already commissioned and despatched on foreign service. From the better distribution of the Chanti cleer's weights, as compared with the two vessels named, together with the very successful results of her trial, it is anticipated that she will prove the fastest and best sea-boat of her class. Her trial of speed was made at 15 inches deeper draught than that of her compeers on their trials. The following sailing vessels belenging to the re serve at Chatham have been ordered by the Admi ralty to be sold :—The Cleopatra, 26 guns, 918 tons ; the Vestal, 26, 913 tons; the Tyne, 26, 600 tons; the Volage. 26, 516 tons ; the Daphne, 18, 726 tons ; the Fantome, 16, 483 tons ; the Childers, 16, 385 tons ; the Comus, 14, 462 tons ; the Electra, 14, 462 tons ; the Despatch, 12, 483 tons ; the Kangaroo, 12, 483 tons ; the Frolic, 12, 509 tons ; the Arab, 12, 481 tons; the Daring, 12, 426 tons; the Elk, 12, 484 tons; and the Mariner, 12, 481 tons. By direction of the Admiralty, a careful survey and estimate of the value of each of the above vessels has been made. Before the ships are sold the principal fitments are to be removed from each and deposited in the dock yard. The screw steam gunboat Doterel, 4, at Devon port, is ordered to be put in commission with a com plement of 40 men. She is alongside the dockyard, and fitting for the first division of the steam reserve. The screw steamship Renown, 91, the crew of which were paid off on Wednesday, is now moored with the third division of the steam reserve in Ha moaze. The St. Jean d'Acre, 101, was also placed there on Thursday. The repairs and alterations of the screw steamship Princess Royal, 91, being complete, she will be taken outside Plymouth breakwater in the course of a day or two to test her engines and machinery. It is rumoured at Plymouth that several of the ships belonging to the Channel fleet have experienced a heavy gale and have sustained much damage. It is now ascertained that the defects of the paddle. wheel steam sloop Styx, 6. at Devonport, especially about the stem, are so extensive that more time will be expended in preparing her for the first divi sion of the steam ordinary than was at first antici pated. She is now in No. 1 dock at Keyham. The paddlewheel steam sloop Geyser, 6, was placed yesterday in No. 1 dock at Devonport to have her bottom cleaned and examined. The screw steam gunvessel Plover, 5, Commander the Hon. H. A. L. Corry, having had her defects made good, left Plymouth yesterday for the V T est Indies. In consequence of the prevalence of strong gales from the south-west it is very probable that she put back to the Sound. The construction of the Royal Oak, the first of the ir on which- p are r t e e d building woodensl-gu natthe screw i a rious royal o r frigates, t d e o s , e k several o i s f making rapid progress at Chatham. In the course of a few days the vessel will be entirely framed and ready for planking. Although nominally only a 51 gun frigate she is considerably longer than many of our modern line-of-battle 91-gun screw steamers. She wag originally intended for one of these, but was altered and lengthened. She is being con structed of amazing strength. Some idea of her immense solidity may be gathered from the fact that she will be covered with eight-inch oak planking, and the whole of her sides again covered with slabs of iron 92 inches thick, carried to between three and four feet below her water-line. She is only a few feet short of 300 feet in length, and 581 feet in breadth of beam. It is intended to place on board of her a pair of 800-horse power engines, which can be worked up to more than three times that power. The screw steamer Normanby arrived at Chatham y6sterday with stores and gear for the iron frigate Defence, 22. The Bombay, 81, 400-horse power, having been wright, and the other principal I,ffic,.rs of toe e:-.-ti,o lahourera from the dockyard were crni.,loyed •on lislanent. O n t h e prev i ous d ay , d ur i ng h e t i me tue board her, one of them, named William Collins, was Precipitated down the hold, receiving such injuries that he expired a few hours after being admitted into Melville Hospital.

All reqttisitions for the additional articles, authorized by the circular memorandum above quoted, will accordingly_be prepared conformity :10?.thesejtastruc tions. - ' By command, " JAMES YORKE SCARLETT, Adjutant-General." The annexed circular memorandum has been issued by the Adjutant•G}eneral Sir James Yorke .• Scarlett, by command of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, addressed to general officers commanding troops, and officers commaq,ding Royal Artillery and Royal Engineers : " Cupolas for melting iron, for Martin's shells being now in course of supply to the several stations at home and abroad, where 10-inch, 68-pounders, or 8- inch guns form part of the defences, his Royal Highness the General-Command ing-in -Chief directs that joint reports be furnished by officers commanding Royal Artillery and Royal Engineers, through general officers commanding, on the positions in which they would propose to place them with respect to the several batteries they are intended to serve, with a view to provid ing the requisite cover for them as soon as funds are avail able for the purpose. The nature of cover proposed, whether bombproof or otherwise, should be stated. " Drawings of a cupola are now in course of issue to offi cers commanding Royal Artillery at those stations which will be supplied with cupolas, the numbers of which ordered for each station have been communicated to those officers. The cupolas may be worked by steam at any station where that power is available, and it should be stated in the re pirts above called for whether it is proposed to work by hand or steam." The volunteers for the 36th Regiment, which is I under orders to embark for Canada, from the various British and Indian depots at Chatham, proceeded from that garrison yesterday to Dublin, where the 36th is stationed. Volunteering for the 64th Regi ment, just arrived from India,' has also been allo wed at Chatham, the depots at which garrison have given upwards of 80. The volunteers will leave for Dover on Monday morning next. The sum of 21s. is paid to each man on his joining his new corps. The appropriation by Government of the barrack and other military establishments at Warley, for merly the depot of the Hon. East India Company's troops, where a subdivision of the Royal Artillery is now formed, will necessitate alterations and addi tions to be made for the better accommodation of the officers and men of the Royal Artillery. The sum of .E 6,000 is already ordered to be expended in making the intended additions and improvements, £l,OOO of which is to be appropriated exclusively to the erection of a gymnasium. The improvements at Warley have been ordered at thi suggestion of Col. Bingham, deputy-adjutant-general, and Col. Hay. The erection of additional buildings at the Hut barracks, Gravesend, is to be immediately com menced by Mr. J. G. Naylor, the Government contractor, Rochester, whose tender was ac cepted. The additional buildings include a range of buildings for officers' quarters, offices, an hospital, commissariat, and other stores, besides shops for carry ing on various trades. The whole are to be completed within six months. Col. Dixon, C. 8., commanding the 9th depot bat talion Colchester Camp has been attacked with partial paralysis, and fears are entertained that he will not again be able to resume his duties as Com mandant of the battalion, which is temporarily placed under the charge of Brevet Lieut.-Colonel Laye. Strangely enough, Col. Strut, C. 8., the Com mandant of the other battalion, has been attacked with serious illness at Dover. The command of the 10th battalion has been entrusted to Major West.. During the present week a draught of men from the Indian depots at Colchester, invalided as unfit for further service, has proceeded to Chatham, under the charge of Assist.- Sorg. Skues, prepara tory to their discharge. The present strength of the .;.amp; is 62 officers and 1,810 men, the greater por tion of whom are fit for immediate service. Re cruiting for most of the depots has been suspended, the regiments having their full complement of men. Orders have been issued for the service small arm ammunition for Enfield rifles to be marked in future according to the place of manufacture, distinguish ing Woolwich, Devonport, and Gosport, by the initial letters of those places. Major D. Grahame, who died at Edinburgh on the 21st inst. in his 86th year, had been in the following engagements :—Roleia, Vimiera, Corunna, Busaco, Fuentes d'Onor, and Badajoz, for which he had re ceived the Peninsular war medal and six clasps, LARGE EMPLOYERS AND WORKMEN. -- The Northern Union of Mechanics' Institutions has held its annual conference in North Shields this week, undbr the presidency of Mr. Hugh Taylor, of Backworth-house, one of the largest coalowners in Northumberland. The reports made to the conference of the progress of - education, more especially in the pit districts, were of the most cheering kind, and the pit village societies were represented liy dele gates, working pitmen, who took a most intelligent part in the discussions. Mr. Taylor, in bringing the proceedings of the conference to a conclusion, observed that he consi ehreectorinkseisdetrheedy had d to his o consi dered it his duty, as a colliery proprietor, to d, all in his an the t" fi power for the education of those who were intrusted some whatinterest to educate.and do everything he possibly could for difficulty l t t o y h th is e c y a h re ad , and, more the labouring classes of the district in which he was con cerned ; because he had seen, from his own experience, that the more they educated the pitmen's children, ani induced a better system among the pitmen in their houses, the less endure, the fewer annoyances to suffer; and he thoroughly believed that the feeling had now become more reasonable. between the employer and the employed. In the colliery districts it had been too long the custom for the coalowner to maintain himself in a distant way from the men. Every thing went through the viewer, but he made it a point in every matter which he conceived to be of moment to make personal inquiry by going to the colliery himself. If a dif ference of opinion arose, the best plan was for the colliery proprietor himself to go and carefully inquire into the whole matter, and, if reasonable and proper concessions and mu tual explanations would answer the purpose—and he thought they generally would—he said it was his interest and it was his policy to adopt that course. With respect to their new collieries in Durham and Northumberland, he might say that they employed perhaps 4,000 or 5,000 men, and he thought they would agree with him thatahe took an active part and had rather a heavy responsibility, as a part" ner in the concern; but ho was sure he was consultih o l f at own interests, the interests of his partners, the interests by the men themselves, and the interests of society large, doing all he possibly could to promote institutions like the one they had met that day to celebrate and carry to out. endeavour urged coalowners and masters of all ki kinds with the to obtain more intimate and clos e dto t a lk to them on con nection workmen, to know their names , " matters relating to the concern , because he was sure it was the interest of both to do so. Th e next meetba g 0f the Union will be he ld in the heart of the Durham c oal - field, at w h e n Mr. Nicholas Wood,Easington-lane, another large emp l oyer of pitmen, is expected to preside.
