Ho & spita &c l Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, Lon, . , The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have proauced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man_ hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, ptserhaps, al is any other class of disease known to modern Pathologists. I per Particularly recommendd to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical conditioner nd who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there are Principles of personal management which cannot be violated without Incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences maybe avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of s cience cannot apply a cure. The Author has for a series of years been e n g a g ed in an extensive Practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have Unfortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant emPirice, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in their pretensions.

TII OXFORDSHIRE MILITIA.— We are authorised to to state that his Grace the Lord-Lieutenant yesterday (Friday) received, at Blenheim Palace, an intimation from the Government that the Queen's warrant will forthwith be issued to empower his Grace to call out and embody the Oxford regiment of Militia., CORE, Nov. 22.—The enrolment of the North Cork Militia is advancing with much success within the past week. Upwards of sixty volunteers have been already sworn in, and large numbers of able-bodied fellows may be seen daily collected around the places of rendezvous, which are held in Castle-street, and George's-street. The head-quarters, we understand, are to be stationed at Fermoy, under the command of the adjutait, Captain Frederick Callaghan, J.P. The staff, we teller°, has already proceeded there. TIPPEEARY.—We learn from a correspondent that the enlistment for the Tipperary South Ridingivisnent of Militia proceeds rapidly, and that its ranks are quickly filling up with smart and intelligent young men. The first step towards organising the North Riding, or Light Infantry corps, hare also been taken. Lord Lismore, as lieutenant of the county, has commissioned the Hon. George O'Callagian to be Colonel, the Hon. Cornelius Maude to be Lieutenant-Colonel, and Mr. George Massy Dawson, to be Major.—Nenagh , Guardian. Captains Wm. Hy. Byam Martin and Geo. Edmund Byron Bettesworth ; Centaur, 74, Commodore Sir S. Hoed ; and Galatea and Hyena, frigates, both commanded by Cap tain Murray Maxwell. Returning in the latter vessel with convoy to England in November 1805, he again, in February, 1806, joined Sir Samuel Hood on board the Centaur. While in that ship he assisted as signal midshipman, in company with the Mars and Monarch, 74's, at the capture, Sept. 25, 1806, of four heavy French frigates from Rochefort, after an action in which Sir Samuel Hood lost his arm. Accompanying also Admi ral Gambier's expedition against the Danish capital in 1807, he was employed during the bombardment of Co penhagen, in the Centaur's guard-boats, in preventing the arrival of supplies for the besieged from the Baltic side. On the surrender of the enemy he aided in fitting out and conducting to England one of the prizes taken, the Norge, 74. He subsequently witnessed the occu pation of Madeira ; and on his return to the Baltic, in 1808, was wounded in the hand by a spent musket ball while engaged in one of the Centaur's cutters, under the command of Lieut. James Shea (who was killed), in an ultimately successful attempt to obtain possession of a Danish despatch-boat which had run on shore under the protection of a body of troops posted, with several pieces of cannon, upon a high cliff on the island of Moen. On the 26th of August in the same year we find him, in company with the Implacable, 74, contributing, within sight of the whole Russian fleet near Rogerewick, to the capture of the 74-gun ship Sewolod, at the end of a close and furious conflict, in which the Centaur had three of herpeople killed and 27 wounded and the enemy 180 killed and wounded. Being nominated, April 7, 1809, acting lieutenant of the Ardent, 64, Capt. Robert Honeyman, Mr. Price was frequently employed in the boats of that ship in protesting the trade passing through the Great Belt. On one occasion, while watering with a small party at the island of Ronsoe, he fell into the hands' of 300 Danes, by whom, -however, he was detained but a very short period. When subsequently in charge of a small prize which he had captured, he was cast away, and again endured a brief captivity. On .finally leaving the Ardent, to which ship the Admiralty had con firmed hint by a commission bearing date Sept. 28, 1809, he joined as second lieutenant, in February, 1811, the Hawke, brig, of 16 gnus, CaptainsHenryßourchier and George Wyndham. Under Captain Bourchier Mr. Price was present, March 25, 1811, at the destruction near Cape Barfleur, of the French 40-gun frigate Ansa zone. On the 17th of August following we find him cutting oat, with the Hawke's jolly-boat, a French vessel protected by a galling fire from the shore, in the same vicinity ; and two days afterwards participating in a very gallant action fought between the Hawke on one side, and on the other three gun-brigs, carrying each from 10 to 16 guns, and two luggers of from 8 to 10 guns each, in escort of a large convoy. The contest was main tained until the two loggers, together with two of the gun-brigs and 15 of the merchantmen, were driven on shore. The Hawke shortly afterwards, while in the act of wearing to prevent the third brig from raking her, un fortunately took the ground, and thereby enablei the latter, with a few of the convoy, although they had struck, to effect their escape. One hourand a half elapsing before the British vessel could be again got afloat, she lay exposed during the whole of that period to an inces sant discharge of artillery and musketry from the shore. Being theia l brought to an anchor for the purpose of re pairing her damaged rigging, Mr. Price, owing to the absence of the first lieutenant in a prize, was sent with the boats to bring out or destroy as many of the enemy's vessels as practicable. Although exposed to a galling fire of musketry from the beach, which was lined with troops, he assisted in bringing out the Heron, national brig of 10 guns (pierced for 16), and three large transports laden with timber for ship-building; the remainder were all on their broadsides and bilged, and were only pre vented from being burnt by the strength of the tide being in their favour. I feel,' says Captain Bourchier, in his dispatc'i narrating the particulars of the exploit, I am barely doing justice to the merits of Lieutenant Price in recommending him most strongly to their lordships' notice for his spirited conduct in the action, as also in the boats, and, in short, en all occasions ; he is a most deserving and meritorious young officer, to whom I feel myself much indebted.' Captain Bour chier's own conduct, we may add, was rewarded with a post commision. Not long afterwards Mr. Price was again highly spoken of by Capt. Wyndham for the man ner in which, in a small gig, he made a prize of L'Hiren dells schooner in the river Isere, although opposed by a smart fire of musketry from the shore. On 0ct.,21, 1811, with two of the Hawke's boats, one of them com manded by Mr. Smith, the master, he made a dash at one of several brigs lying in Barfleur Harbour, and was received by a heavy fire, which killed two and wounded three of his companions. He nevertheless bearded, with but one follower, and maintained an obstinate struggle until the two were wounded (himself by a thrust of the bayonet) and disarmed. He then, trusting to the chance of being picked up rather than to the certainty of being taken prisoner, jumped overboard, and contrived to keep himself afloat until happily fallen in with by the cutter under Mr. Smith, who had been foiled in his at tempts to gain the deck of the French vessel. The boats of the Theban frigate had been sent to co-operate in the attack, but did net arrive in time to afford any support. On the return of the Hawke to Portsmouth, Mr. Price was sent to the hospital at Hasler, where, after three months of protracted suffering, it was discovered that, instead of his hip-bone, as had been supposed, being fractured, four inches of the bayonet steel had re mained lodged in his side. As soon as the state of his health would permit, which was not until Septem ber, 1812, he was appointed to the Mulgrave, 74, Cap tain Thomas James Maling, stationed off Cherbourg. He next, in January, 1813, joined the San Josef, 110, Captains Henry Bourchier and William Stewart, in which ship, although but the third in seniority, he was selected by Sir Richard King, whose flag was at the time flying on board, to perform the duties of first lieu tenant in the partial action fought with the French fleet off Toulon, Nov. 5, 1813. Being advanced to the rank of commander, Dec. 6, in the same year, and appointed to the Volcano bomb, he volunteered, in the summer of 1814, to join in the hostilities then rife on the coast of North America. Proceeding thither accordingly, and arriving in time to form a part in the expedition against Baltimore, he covered the landing at North Point, as sisted at the bombardment of Fort M'Henry, and was the last, after having covered the re-embarkation of the troops, to leave the Patapsco. When subsequently aide-de-camp to Rear-Admiral Pulteney Malcolm in the Potomac, he 'led on part of the forces up the Yecontoco, while Captain Richard Kenah, of the 2Etna bomb, who was killed, led the other up the Coan. On Oct. 31,, 1814, being then in the Windward Passage with a transport under convoy bound to Jamaica, the Volcano fell in with and, after two broadsides, put to flight the Saucy Jack, American schooner privateer, a vessel of far superior force, seven of whose people were killed and fourteen wounded, with a loss to the British of an officer (Lieut. J. P. Furzer, R.M.A.) and two men killed. At the commencement f the operations against New Orleans, Captain Price was employed, in conjunc tion with Captain the Hon. Robert Cavendish Spencer, in surprising the American picquet posted at the entrance of the Bayou Catalan, and so effectually was the service executed that net a man escaped, and the British troops were in consequence enabled to land without resistance. On General Keane's army being attacked, on the even ing of the 24th, by the enemy, Captain Price was des patched to acquaint him with the approach of rein forcements. In carrying oat his instructions he fell in with a party of the enemy, who fired at and shot him through the thigh. In this state,' reports Rear- Admiral Malcolm, 'he not only made his escape, but secured an American soldier ; I trust his wound is not dangerous, as ho is a gallant young man and an excellent officer.' The Volcano subsequentlyaided in the bombard ment of Fort St. Philip, and continued on the Mississippi until the retreat of the British army. In February, 1815, after landing a body of troops on Dauphin Island, Cap tain Price took a zealous and active part in the attack on Fort Bowyer. During the proximate siege of Fort Mobile he was sent in charge of a division of boats to intercept a force of 800 men, which had been sent from the town of Mobile for the purpose of raising it. Sue easeful in the object of his mission, he effected the cap ture of two schooners, in one of which were found des patches of consequence from the American General Blew. The importance of Captain Price's performance was ac knowledged in Major General Lambert's public letter to the War Office. On the intelligence of peace arriving from England he was sent with a flag of truce to com municate the information to the Americans at Mobile, and to restore Fort Bowyer to the proper authorities. On his return to England he was advanced to his present rank, June 13, 1815. When next in command, from May 1, 1834, until the spring of 1838, of the Portland, 52, on the Mediterranean station, he was presented by King Otho with the Order of the Redeemer for his ser vices to the Greek Government. The assistance afforded by him to the British mission was also acknowledged in the official letters of Sir Edmund Lyons, the minister plenipotentiary at the court of Athens. " In November, 1846, he was appointed Superinten dent of the Dockyard at Sheerness, and remained there until his promotion. Admiral Price was a magistrate for Breoknockshire. He married, July 30, 1844, Eliza beth, eldest daughter of the late John Taylor, Esq., and niece of the late Admiral William Taylor (1830), of Maize-hill, Greenwich." CHINA. —According to the telegraphic accounts from China to-day, which reached to the 11th of October, there had been a rene wed rise in the rates of ex change, which will lead to fu rther shi p ments of silver fro m this side.

FATAL SHIP frRECK. SUNDERLAND, THURSDAY, Noox. A fearful catastrophe happened off our harbour mouth this morning about 2 o'clock. Last evening the wind was from the N.N.W., with mo d erate weather, an d among the vesselii that went out to sea by the after noon's tide was the barque Mary Graham, belonging to rit Mr. Thompson, shipbuilder, with coals for Bombay. The principal part of her crew, it appears, were on shore for I amusement, and the master and mate remained behied , to look after them and get them aboard, sending the vessel out into the roads in charge of Mr. Hodgson, a - North Sea pilot, and several riggers and men employed at daywork. The rigging was loose, and under such cir cumstances the vessel was in a very disorderly state when she went out. Mr. Elliot, one of Mr. Thompson's clerks, also proceeded to sea with the vessel, to look after the riggers ; and it appears that while the vessel was riding with two anchors out a tremendous gale came on from the east about 9 o'clock last night, blowing straight on to the shore, and that a little before 2 this morning the man in charge of the south pier lights saw the sea in the offiing illuminated with sig nal lights from the barque, as she had then drifted from her anchors and was coming in to the shore. He immediately sent to the town to give the alarm, and speedily a number of pilots and harbour men arrived, and the life-boats and Manby's apparatus were gut out, but on account of the fearful sea that had by this tiree risen, neither the one nor the other was of service. About two o'clock the hapless vessel drifted on to the " stone heads" lying between the south pier and the beacon, and within an hour she had gone to pieces, and every one on board of her had perished, with the exception of a seaman named Edward Downs, who drifted ashore in one of the long-boats. The body of the pilot, and Mr. Elliott, with several others, have been picked up during the forenoon, and the wreck of the vessel is strewn along the shore as far as, the eye can reach. THURSDAY NIGHT. Since the above account I have seen Edward Downs, the only survivor out of the 23 men who went out with him yesterday afternoon, and he gives the following ac coant of the catastrophe : The vessel, a barque about ten years old, was of 500 tons burden, and drew 17 feet water when coal ladens She had got her cargo of coals aboard, when the owner gave instructions that she should be taken out of the harbour to the roads in the afternoon tide, and bring up there to wait for the master and mate, who were ashore looking after two of the crew who were absent. The cabin boy was also ashore for the mate's clothes when the vessel hove out of the tiers, and did not get aboard again to go out to sea with her. The vessel was, therefore, in charge of an old North Sea pilot, who was assisted by Mr. Hunter, a master of a vessel. Mr. Elliott, the managing clerk in the em ployment of the owner, was also sent out to look after the workpeople. Ten of the crew were aboard, who were assisted by ten riggers. The vessel, it appears, was in a very disorderly condition to go to sea, her lower rigging being loose, her decks full of coals, and the galley and coppers knocking about in different directions ; and, though the wind was N.N.W., the glass was falling very rapidly, and seafaring men, by the banking up of the clouds, predicted a gale of wind. The vessel went out about five o'clock in the afternoon, but struck on the bar, and had to be towed off by four steamers. She was got into the roads between 6 and 7, and, the men having dropped both anchors, tried to make the masts secure and clear away the decks, which they did to some extent ; but at the time they were securing the masts and rigging (between 10 and 11 o'clock at night), the wind changed to the eastward, dead upon the land, and, to make her ride more easy, the crew payed away several fathoms of chain until it got' East in the trunk. The wind increasing, and the sea rising with fearful fury about midnight, the crew endeavoured to make the vessel more easy. But towards one o'clock this morning, there being no prospect of the vessel riding until daylight, the crew were ordered to slip the cables and try to put the canvas on her to run her out. Be fore that could be done, however, she had snapped both cables by the anchors, and began gradually to drive on towards the coast. The crew then burnt flash lights to apprise those ashore of their danger, and they could see the Wear Commissioners' men bring down the rockets and try to fire a line to them ; but the experienced men aboard knew that from te heavy sea which had arisen, human help was not possible from the shore ; and about two o'clock the vessel struck on " the stone heads" about half a mile or less from the strand. She then lay athwart the sea, the waves making a breach over her ; but shortly after she got with her head to the eastward, and lay more easy, and hopes were entertained by those aboard that she would weather out till daybreak, when assistance would reach them. She remained in this position until five o'clock, the poor creatures on board counting every hour of the night as they were chimed out by the clocks of the town. Towards high water, however, the vessel drifted over the stones, and coming nearer to the shore, was thrown athwart a more fearful sea than she had be fore encountered, and every moment she was expected to go to pieces. The old pilot was hauled out of the cabin in a state of intoxication, and he and eight or nine more were shortly washed off the poop, and seen no more by Downs. He, with those who remained, then clung to the rigging, and in about half an hour the ves sel broke up, the men having previously taken an affectionate farewell of each other. Downs had been washed from his hold is the rigging two or three times, when he saw one of the longboats wash out amidships, and made an effort to swim to it. Being a very powerful man he succeeded. Before he reached it, however, he saw the solitary man who remained in her washed out and drowned, He and the boat then gradually drove in towards the beach, and he appears to have made a desperate struggle for his life. He remembers being washed out several times, but he fought his way back each time. At last con sciousness left him, and when the beat came to the beach he was found by the spectators clinging with his arms round the thwarts, which he held with a grasp which had to be forced loose with considerable violence before he could be taken out of the boat. He was re moved to the Royal Humane Society's house, and, for tunately, recovered. He was doing well this afternoon. The poor clerk, Elliott, whose body was found on the shore shortly after, had stripped, and tried to swim ashore, as lie was picked up naked. The force of the sea had killed him. Some other bodies have been picked up and identified, among which was that of the old pilot, Hodgson. The vessel is completely broken to pieces, and an immense number of persons are carrying away the coals to their homes, which they are allowed to do. The following are the names of some of the suf ferers :—Mr. Elliott, clerk with Mr. Thompson, the owner ; Hodgson, the North Sea pilot ; Mr. Hunter, a master of a vessel ; William Reed, Charles Scott, George Wearmouth, William Willie, Follett, and John Stroud, riggers ; Peter Campbell, aged 26, carpenter, Sunderland ; Alonzo Warner, aged 26, seaman, Lon don ; Thomas Clarke, aged 50, steward, Perth ; Robert Harling, aged 3 4 , cook and seaman, Sunderland ; John Rushton, aged 2i, seaman, Haselden (Lanca shire) ; Robert Cooney, aged 22, seaman, Dublin ; Re• bert Shawl, aged 46, seaman, Wells (Norfolk). There were four apprentices belonging to the vessel, but one of them, David Barry, of Limerick, was on shore. The names of the three lost are Michael Walsh, Cork ; James M'Donald, also from Ireland ; and Wil liam Farrow, belonging to some port in the south of England. • It is blowing a fearful gale outside to-night, and seve ral laden vessels were observed off the Durham coast before dark, trying to keep an offing. FRIDAY, Noon. The Mary Graham was laden with coals for Constan tinople, and the captain had been obliged to take down some of the lower rigging to get in the cargo. The circumstances of the melancholy affair are inexplicable except in one way, drunkenness. The captain states that when he left the vessel he suggested to Mr. Elliott that he might come along with him, as there was little use of him (Mr. Elliott) remaining on board: Mr. Elliott, however, declined as he had been engaged tak ing account of some stores that were shipped in the dock, which he wished to see prcperly put aside, and he also expressed his anxiety to see everything going on pro perly during the captain's absence. An inquest will be held upon the bodies on Monday. SHIELDS, Friday Noon. A gale from the east and east-south-east broke upon the Northumberland coast on Wednesday about mid night, and continued in tremendous squalls during the whole of yesterday. About 50 sail of laden colliers left on the afternoon tide, and the greatest anxiety is felt for their safety. About a dozen sail have put back, and some light ships have got in. There is nothing on shore this morning. HAETLEPOOL, Thursday Night. The wind blew all last night a gale from the south east. A very heavy sea rolled into the harbour. At daylight this morning a se:sooner, labouring very heavily, was observed making for the harbour. It was evident that she could Rot hold ont very long if she did not suc ceed in obtaining shelter. She continued her course for the harbour, making very little progress. Her dan ger being imminent, the two lifeboats, the one manned by the pilots, and the other by the seamen of the port, in their own boat—pulled off, to be ready in case their assistance should be required. They signalled to the men of the vessel in the direction they were to steer, but she was so unmanageable that she could not obey her helm. At a quarter to teu o'clock she struck on the sand opposite the Black Beacon. She proved to be the William, Hull master, of and from Shields, which port she left yesterday, coal-laden, for London. Shortly after leaving she sprang a leak, and the crew were kept at the pumps all night. So exhausted were they that they could not possibly have held out much longer. Her crew consisted of five men, including the master, and a boy. All hands were saved. WEST HARTLEPOOL, Friday. Early this morn in g the bar q ue Mar y Muir, of Liver pool, Calvert master , fr om Sunde rland for Constanti nople, while making for the harbour, struck against the pier head, and was driven upon Stranton-beach. While in Sunderland - road s l a s t night shewa which s both vessels in contact with a large barque, name unknown, by ws lost ri t their bowsprits. A large barque, with herbop gone, has been observed off the harbour all the morning, WANT OF SCREW STORE-SHIPS. The Government are still in want of about a dozen of screw steamers - of from 500 to 700 tons, to convey the wooden huts and other winter necessaries to the army in the Crimea. The cheapest way would be to build a dozen of such vessels as the Supply and Industry, and man them and pay them as mercantile transports are. In the course of three months half a dozen such screw steamers could be easily procured, and there can be no doubt they will be wanted next summer. Robert Lowe, chartered screw iron steamer, with am munition for the Crimea, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning. The Esk, chartered iron steamer, has received an im mense supply of clothing and stores from the Clarence. yard, and sailed yesterday morning for the Crimea. No. 109, sailing transport, arrived at Spithead yester• (lay at noon. THE SLING MORTAR. The Drake, mortar-vessel, went out to the Nab on Thursday, and tested the principle of the suspensio' mortar. An accident took place at the third discharge with 201 b. of powder. Allowance had not been suffi ciently made for the bed or combings of the carriage for the mortar to swing itself clear. The consequence was that the rump of the mortar at the discharge struck against the bed, threw itself out of the elevation band round the muzzle, and, as stated, put itself quietly at rest in a moment, without the least jerk or shock being perceptible—in fact, the party on board were watching the flight of the 2001 b. shell, which reached the de sired range of 4,200 yards, and then perceived that ' the mortar was hanging quietly on her iron slings. The great suspension principle, by this simple accident, it is sugges'ed, has proved beyond question its infinite value. On personal inspection of every part of the vessel, it could not be discovered that a seam or joint had opened, a plank or nail had started, and the caulk ing and putty joints remained perfect. Not even the thick lintewash was disturbed in the shell-room immedi ately under the mortar floor, where the shock is the greatest. The dockyard joiners, who were at work at the time balow, were not aware that anything had oc curred, and as to the vessel the motion was scarcely per ceptible at the heaviest discharge. It is generally believed that in her trial at Sheerness against the old bedded mortar, the superiority of the former will render obsolete the latter principle. A few hours' work will set the mortar right again, and the Drake ?fill be ready for service to•day. THE ROYAL ALBERT. We have been favoured with the following report sent here relatve to the Royal Albert ;--She left on the 19th inst.. at 9.50 a.m. At 10.30 a.m. stopped for twenty minutes to adjust bearings, and anchored off the Mouse at 11.50, there not being water for her to proceed over the flats. On Monday, the 20th, got under way at 10 a.m. Passed the Girdler light at 10.45. Passed the Tongee light at 12.10. Was off Ramsgate at 1.50. Eased and stopped for forty minutes to put the pilot on shore at Ramsgate. Passed South Fore land at 3.15 p.m., engine makin g si x ty- seve n revolutions per minute. Some fore and aft sails set. Rate taken by common log 11i knots per hour. Passed Dover Pier at 3.35 p.m. Slacked speed off Folkestone, and worked engines expansively till off Beechy Head at 8.5 p.m. Then stopped engines fur the night, and ran with jib only t.ll 3.30 next morning the 21st. Put on steam easy tntil 6.45, then put on full steam, and arrived at Spithtad at 9.15 a.m. Speed by Massey's log at 8 a.m. that eay was 9.66 knots per hour, no sail ; draft of water, 24 feet 9 inches forward, 27 feet 2 inches aft, mean 25 feet 11/ inches ; engines running making 69 revolutions ; nominal horse power, 500 ; indicated horse power at 8 a.m. this day 1829, or 3ids nominal. En gines worked admirably ; no derangement whatever. When getting her anchor weighing from the Mouse on Monday morning the great advantage of the gutta pereha speakng tubes, and the engine-room indicator was most apparent. As the order of Mr. George Brochnian, mas terpilot charge, was given to "go ienas tyl ß e aNch le.ad," wh o to was a in pilot the men at the capstan heaving ain, the stupendous machinery was under the most perfect control, and wh e n ord ered to " stop her " it was i ns t an taneous. Her anchor was got with merel y heaving in the slack of her chain, as her engines put her ahead to it. When drifting under jib only she nude five knots per hour. On Tuesday morning Mr. Rumble, the chief engineer, reported to Captain ill. Thomas Pasley, Bart., the ship all ready fo r sea, as it regards her maohinery department, to-day if required. MILITARY. 18111 REGIMENT (ROTAL Infou).—Eighteen serjeants and 282 rank and ale, under command of Major Wig: sten, with the following officers :—Qaptains John Laurie, M.

LAMENTABLE SUICIDE OF REAR-ADMIRAL PRICE. We deeply regret that intelligence more authentic than that from the American papers has reached official quarters, which leaves no doubt as to the manner and intention of the death of Rear-Admiral Price, the corn mander-in-chief of the Pacific station. That ill-fated officer died by his own hand, in his own cabin, on board of his own ship, at the moment of going into action. Strange to say, we hear nothing of the public despatches of the affair at Petropaulovski, but letters have been received from the squadron giving ample details of the unfortunate death of the admiral. It was known that the Russian squadron was making for the Sitka settle ment from the Chinese Seas. He ordered the Amphi trite, 25, Captain Frederick, to follow the Russian fri gates Aurora and Diana from point to point, and fol lowed himself in his flag-ship the President, with the French admiral in his flag-ship the Forte, 60. He con stantly exercised his crews in gunnery and small arms, and made every preparation for an obstinate fight when ever he could find the opportunity of bringing the enemy to action. It was remarked, however, that latterly he appeared to feel the responsibility of his situation, and to attach to it a weight that seemed to prey much upon his mind. Notwithstanding which, he, in his flag-ship the President, Captain Burridge, with the Pique, 40, Captain Sir F. W. Nicholson, Bart., and the Virago, 6, paddle, Commander Marshall, with Admiral de Solutes, in kis flag-ship Forte, with the Eurydice, 30, and the Obligade, 10, reached the Russian settlement, and found the Russian frigate Aurora, iO, and the Dwina (not the Diana), corvette there, he determined either to destroy or cut them out of that place : and it would appear that Admiral Price must have felt himself quite equal to the work, for he did not wait for the Amphitrite or Artemise, that had parted company, but at once got about arranging his plans. He had tested the strength of the forts, by proceeding in the Virago and drawing their fire ; be had discovered the condition of the Aurora, stripped and placed in a position of defence, and the disposition of the enemy to receive him. He and the French admiral hal consulted together, and on the morning of the 29th the squadron proceeded to engage the batteries. It was decided by the admiral that the President should be taken to a po sition within 400 yards of the heaviest battery, and that the other ships were to take up stations so as to de molish the defences, and then, after shelling the enemy out, to land and destroy both ships and forts. The flag ship was actually under weigh, and every one nerved for a hard day's work, The admiral himself gave Lis orders, and remarked aloud, "Now we are in for it." Saying this he went down into his cabin. Shortly after wards the explosion of a pistol was heard, and on pro ceeding to the spot the poor chief was found wounded and bleeding, with a discharged pistol in his hand. The French admiral was immediately sent for, and sufficient transpired during the three hours that he lived to satisfy every one that his death was not an accident. As might easily be expected, this fatal and unaccount able catastrophe struck every one with consternation, and disarranged for a moment the plan of action, and threw a damp on the spirits of all. But, nevertheless, it was determined to attack, and on 31st of August the engagement commenced ; but instead of coming to short quarters both the President and Forte engaged them at 2,000 yards, and successfully, too, for they demolished the heaviest of them without sustaining any injury from the fire. They landed, drove the Russians from them, spiked the guns, and did as much mischief as they could, re-embarking in good order, and without loss. The Russians, however, seemed to have done their best ; for, although their forts were demolished one day, in the course of the night they had repaired their batteries, and had rendered them more formidable. Thus, they were taken by day, and re -occupied by night. On the 4th, however, the landing took place as de scribed in Thursday's 57.411, and in this expedition it ap rears the seamen and marines of the Allies enacted their parts with steady and effective gallantry, but, ignorant of the locality, entangled in a forest, and o ver-matched in numbers, after fighting their way into the country, they had to fight their way back again, and re-embark in their boats under cover of the steamers' guns. it was intended, as we understand, that whilst the party was fighting ashore, and the Russian seamen and soldiers had been withdrawn from the batteries to op pose their advance, the ships should take advantage of the defenceless state of the batteries and the Russian men-of-war, and, after bombarding both, a landing should be effected, and the destruction of the Aurora, Dwina, and the storehous es s h ould be consumma t e d. The President and the Forte did go in, and fired upon the frigate and forts ; but the Pique could not be brought into action, because her men were ashore ; the Eurydice took no part in the affair, most likely for the same reason, and the steam-sloop, the on s t ea mer belonging to the squadron, seein g ho matters y w ' ere going en with ' the force fighting on shore, dared not leave her position of covering the return of the boats. And thus as soon as the men had r e t urned to their. ships the fighting ceased. The squadron then remained off the port, with the hope of catching a screw -steamer that was known to be the tender to the, Russian frigate Pallas, and had been seen in the vicinity, and when the 10-gun brig Sitka was seen and chased, they hoped it was the screw-vessel. But the capture of the Sitka and the Russian merchant schooners was most fortunate for the expedition, for not only did they contain money, provisions, and stores of all kinds, but some 20 tons of gunpowder. It then be came a question whether, by seizing the provisions, they had so placed the garrison at their mercy that they could summon them to capitulate or starve, or whether they should attempt to join Sir J. Stirling, who was known to be in pursuit of the Russian squadron from the China seas, and so assist him in engaging the large force of the enemy. But under the circumstance; believing that they had effectu ally crippled the Russian , frigate Aurora, and the corvette Dwina, that they had done serious damage to Petropaulovski, and had cut off their supplies ; well knowing also that the Russian 50-gnn frigate Diana, the 50-gun frigate Pallas, with her screw tender, aid per haps the Ingerrnanland, 74, and the rest of the squa dron were at Sitka, and would not be likely, f rom th e state of th e weather in those latitudes, to move out to attempt any enterprise, the allied squadron deemed it best to return to San Francisco and - Vancouver's Island, and wait for the spring before making any further at tempt at hostilities. Moreover, it was most desirable that Capt. Frederick, of the Amphitrite, should be com municated witle, as by the death of the Admiral, he be came the acting commander-in-chief of the British forces. Poor Admiral Price. He was the last man that any one could suppose to be likely to commit suicide--and strong, indeed, must have been the temporary abera tion of mind under which he committed the fatal deed, and thereby perilled the konour of that flag he had so nobly maintained for many years. A braver man never wore the British uniform, and we feel convi nce d t h at if he were now in E ng l an d, and this expedition against Petropaulovski was contemplated, Admiral Price, be yond perhaps any other flag officer, would be the man selected to conduct it, for no man in the navy had so much experience in such expeditions as he had in the old war, as will be seen by the following epitome of his career from " O'Byrne's Biography : " David Price, born about 1790, is descended pater nally from the Prices of Belch Trebanne, county Caer-i marthen, and maternally from the Powells of A.bersenny, county Brecknock. "This officer entered the navy Jan. 1, 1801, as first class volunteer, on board the Ardent, 64, Capt. Thomas Bertie and George M`Kinley, and on the 2d of April following was present in the action off Copenhagen. In July, 1802, he joined the Blenheim, 74, Captains Philip Turner Boyer, Murray Maxwell, Henry Matson, and, Thos. Graves, employed at first as a guard-ship at Ports mouth, and afterwards under the broad pendant of Sir, Samuel Hood in the West Indies, where be was fre quently under fire from the batteries of Martinique. In the course of 1804-5 he removed in succession, on the sta tion last-named, to the Osprey and St, Lucia, sloops, THE TV.A.R IN THE CRIMEA. We have felt it our duty to urge emphatically upon our,own Government and on our own country the ab- , solute necessity of raising whatever force we can for the purPose of recruiting our army in the Crimea, and con- verting our present anxiety into speedy and glorious success. But we must not forget that we are not alone in this matter—that we have gallant and faithful Allies, • whose blood has been mingled with our own on the glorious battle-fields of Alma and Inkerman, whose danger is our danger, and whose safety our safety. Whatever support the English Government can send to its army is also a support to France, and in the degree in which the forces of the Freneh are augmented the chance of preserving our own troops is proportionately increased. We make no apology, therefore, for employ- ingtoviards the Government of our faithful and valiant all the same tone of earnest entreaty which we have not scrupled to use towards our own. We have common la ers and common interests, and, when speaking of he henry managecco it of the war, axe assuredly d ea li n g sit a topic in which we !are most nearly and inti -1 nately concerned. If England be not a military nation France may pre ,m' entiy vindicate to herself the title of a people of oldiers. The long catalogue of her victories goes back - o the middle ages, and identifies • her with the most orilliant achievements of modern warfare. Nay, her • s •enerals may be said tii have created the modern art of - war itself, and the generation has not passed away which saw her victorious standards planted on thi ramparts of every capital of the-continent of Europe. Nor do the present military establishments of France degenerate froth the renown she has won in so many brilliant en counters. She has probably at this moment within her boundaries three hundred thousand men, completely disciplined, admirably organised, supplied with every re quisite for immediate ,service, animated by the most glowing enthusiasm, and commanded by officers trained to `the highest oxcellenee amid the burning sands and savage tribes of Africa. When we have done all that it is possible for uis to do, lye can - do' nothing in comparison with the power accumulated ready to the hand of our great ally. To send out thirty thousand * fresh men to succour our exhausted aid beleaguered army appears: 4o us an effort beyond the reach of possibility, while the Emperor of the French has only to will it, and three times that number are ready at a ' week's notice to carry his standards into the heart of the Russian empire. Had the gallant charge which de sided the Battle of Inkerman :been aided only by tan thousand of those men who are awaiting the signal to march in the camps of the North and of the South, or had they been there to second the energetic attack which followed the repulse of the Russian sortie, instead of a barren and bloody victory we might have had to rejoice over a day of signal and unlooked-for success. France has undoubtedly the power, if she but put forth her strength, in the course of a single month to restore to the Allies the superiority of numbers in the Crimea, and to divert any future reinforcement from the banks of the Danube to those of the Tehernaya, and she is urged to do so by motives even stronger than these whose thrill is felt in every English heart. She has the memories of former triumphs to excite her emulation ; she has to show that the soldiers of the second empire are worthy descendants of the conquerors of Austerlitz and Friedland, and to avenge in a better cause, and on an equally conspicuous stage,the misfortunes of 1812, That same Russia whose troops, when in alliance with all the rest of Europe, she routed in so many bloody battles, from Yurich to Borodino, now boasts herself to be strong enough, not merely to resist France alone, but France in strict and binding alliance with England. The present Emperor of France, though to his honour he has ever shown himself desirous of peace, is, nevertheless, the depositary of the traditions and glories of the Empire, and can never hope to establish a throne on any other condition than that of maintaining untarnished the lustre of the arms of France and the freshness of her warlike renown. France has shown herself tolerant of and even anxious for peace, but she will not bear with•patience the disasters of war, unless she be convinced that all that human prudence and energy can do has been exhausted to avert them. The Emperor of the French has an in finitely larger force than we, and has that force infinitely more at his disposal. In proportion to his greater means and greater powers is his greater responsibility. He is even more deeply interested in the result than we, inasmuch as his army in the Crimea is more numerous than ours. He must feel, as we do, that he engaged in a duel to the death with a powerful adversary, from which there is no flinching or drawing -back. Either the gallant French army now, encamped before Sebastopol, must perish to a man—for our enemies no longer offer . us the option between death and captivity—or it must be reinforced to an extent which will render it able to resume the offensive, not only, against the broken and dispirited troops of the sth of November, but against whatever masses the despair of an absolute Government, all powerful over the lives of its subjeCts, may precipi tate upon the Allied Armies. With our present num bers retreat and victory are alike impossible. We sin cerely hope, then, that the French Government, which has acted throughout these transactions with so much firmness, prudence, and good faith, will see the necessity of limiting its despatch of soldiers to the East by nothing , except its means of transport. In this instance nothing can be more wasteful than a niggard expenditure of life and money. If we venture little, we shall lose all ; if we venture boldly, we have every hope to win all. Let a hundred thousand French and fifty thousand English stand before Sebastopol, and where is the. , force that will strive for a moment to hold such an army in check ? We should hear no more of sur prises aiiii investments, of successes relinquished be. - * oause we are not strong enough to grasp them, and vic tories left half accomplished because we have not num bers to pursue them to their legitimate result. As citi. zens of England, as allies of France, we feel still more ashamed than dismayed at the position our united forces occupy. It is not for us to sue Russia in form/ pauperis. Immeasureably superior to her in wealth, in civilisation, in intelligence—nay, more considerable in her own pecu liar element of numerical strength—we must not exhibit ourselves to the world as having raised the Devil we cannot lay, and provoked a power with which we are unequal to cope. We ought to carry into the battle-field that superiority which we have so long maintained in the arts of peace and war, and exercised in the councils of mankind. Neither France nor England meant to ex pose their soldiers to unequal combats, or to treat their army as a forlorn hope, to be sacrificed in order to bridge over with their bodies the path to future victory. To us these considerations apply, though we never presumed to consider our army a match for the embattled myriads of the Emperor of Russia ; but France claims, and with justice, to be the first military Power in Europe . , and is trifling with her glory and her prestige if she does not assert that claim by signal and successful efforts. Both nations find themselves in an unforeseen and new position, and they will de wisely to adapt themselves to tt. We have been awakened from a dream of easy vic tory by a resistance surpassing in obstinacy anything that history records, and a sudden concentration of force which has compelled us to owe our preservation, not to the results of sober and calculated action, but to prodi gies of romantic and desperate valour. This must not be again. Great empires should not make war upon a nation occupying one-sixth of the habitable globe, if they are not prepared to support armies capable not merely of defending their intrenchments, but of meeting and encountering successfully every force that may take the field against them. Even France and England can not command success, but, it they are to meet with re verses, let them be the result of superior skill, courage, or fortune in their enemies, and not of a niggardly policy, which undertakes great enterprises with small resources, a r c t e o s n , c r, sacrifices lavish a nd results parsimonious,in to devotes econom on isem e eanspor tion of its army to destruction in order to maintain the remainder in idleness. —Times, SIR JOSEPH PAXTON AT COVBNTRY. Sir Joseph Paxton addressed the electors of Coventry on Thursday, and was extremely well received. The c o rentry Herald considers there is little chance of sue cess for any other candidate. In his speech on Thursday Sir Joseph declared himself‘for a wider extension of the suffrage than that proposed by Lord John Russell. He was in favour of household suffrage, which he considered " just, necessary, and safe." Adverting to the ballot, Sir Joseph said, " I have never had anything to do with town elections, but I have had a good deal to do with county elections, and I have seen the screw t put on—(laughter)—a n d h ave b ees well aware ta th a man could not v en t ure t o record his vote knife he liked.

Yon and I, and all of us, are interested in the fate of our brave soldiers. We ought to have correct news front the seat of war in four or five days. They might have taken a number of couriers, of whom there are plenty in London, and sent them out to organise a regular system of obtaining almost daily news. We should then have saved ourselves from much of that anxiety and uncertainty from which we have suffered, and we should, moreover, have been able to send out, as required, supplies and stores to our brave fellows, and have saved them from much peril and privation."
