Thaessential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have prpauced more misery in Youth, degradation in Aan hood, and premature decay stall stages of Life, than, perhaps,_ any ether class of disease known to modern pathologistsl • Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and 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 prindiples 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 he mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any decree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to - which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. The A tailor has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which hai'e unfortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant e mptrics, who Inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in their pretensions.

The Right lion. the Earl of EFFTNG,i AM in the chair:-- This Association •triginated at the National Chili, on tee 24th of February, 1854; and was joined on the 25th of February by a depu tation from the Army and Navy Club. It was for malty instituted at• a public meeting held in Willis's Rooms, en the 7th of March, 18e4 (the late deeply lamented Gene ral. Sir Peregrine Maitland, G.C.8., in the chair), and has nJW com pleted the first half year of its operations. . The vast amount or undeservel misery . that this Association has .been the means of alleviating during the past six months induces the Committee to make a half-yearly report of their proceedings; and this, not only to show that the noble effort made by the country en behalf of the silent sufferers has not been a fruitless one ; but also to ui~ect public attention to the urgent .and abso ute necessity for the establishment,of some perrnaneat national provision .for the Veiv,s and families, ssidows and orphans, of our soldiers. Notwithstanding all that has been said and written on the siMect, the fact still remelts in all its sadness, that for the wife and family, widow and orphan, of our beat-behaved soldiers , whether non-com missioned officer or private, no provision whatever is made. _Nothing but pi ivate charity keeps them from pauperism when their husbands and fathers' are taken away. • • • ; The marriage or these good ,men is fully permitted by military authority; it is even granted as a rewar•l for good conduct, and yet, should they be ordered.. to the , seat of war, or die in the service of their country, their families are cast aside in utter destitution and desolatiOn. To prove that this is no over-statement, the Committee have se lected a few eases eut of hundreds, ; all of which are those of . wives of non-cociamssiotied officers and privatei, wit), having been mar ried with -Military sanction and approval, had been placed on the strength of the regiment.

This dreary catalogue of destitution might be continued almost to an endless extent; and all the harrowing details accompanying each case might be given ; but the Committee are satisfied that a simple statement of these facts is more than sufficient to prove the need for, anii the reality of, their werk. It is true tat famil y; the peri but the Corn sh of the sol dier may be compelle d to support his wife ahnd. mittee would ask whether the workhouse is a fitting place for the families of men who can write such letters as the Ica. owing : " Camp, nea r Varna, August 30 , 1854. • " Sir, —I sincerely trust that I may not offend you by the liberty I take in addressing you; but, having heard of your k lanndess in to th e e wives end children of ecldiers n ow serving Turkey, m to request your kind assistance on behalf of my little daughter.

The Rife and child cf this non-commissioned officer were entirely supported by the Association until his wife died of cholera, in London.

" Devno, in Turkey,. July, 104. Dearest Mary, — l know you w ill be glad to have this letter troiri your dear father. I hopo aria pray Almighty Ocd that you slid September 2, 1854. Sir,-- e nily for the relief I received Weekly f. om you, I would have been obliged to go into the wor khouse with my, two children; which would have been worse than death to me ; for if we _were dead, our miserable existence'Veonld tie ended here. I could not have main. artineed "myself and children only for it, tie ugh I worked day and 'night to do so, and trial every means in my pevrer, yet I found it was imitossible. I was making , hints for Opine, in Mo'esworth st eet, alss. per it zen; and I could not complete the dosen in a week; so if I had not had that re ief, what should I have doue P I never received am money from my huseand since I left him, nor ha no one to ask me or me chit lren to have a meal of victuals mace I lost my of ply friend, my dear husband. And now, through your kindness and interest. I have got a situation ; and if you did not still allow me a little to pay far my chldren, I should not be able to remain in It, as I have not enou g h wages to pay fold L and clothe Myself and them. I hope Gred Wilt reward every one who hat se kindly helped the poor soldier's wife and chili ;. for most of us have been thrown Out of a comfortable home to face a frowning world. I hope the Lord will reward you also, sir, tor the kind intereet you have taken hih sol diers't wiv. 8, ee e • . "MP, :Mau more letters m'glit he quoted, showing how grateful there line fellows are for the care that has been extended ton& Wives and children; I ut quite enough, it is hoped, has been stated to satisfy the- Committee that they not only are doing what is right, but that it le the bounden dr) ty of England to carry out the work that has been thus happily commenced. Nor are the poor women themselves ungrateful for all that has been, and is dome for them. With a few exceptions, al' have' evinced h • greatest thankfulness, and readiness to find employment for themselves. Two wives of soldiers who had been temeorarily re lieved with weekly allowan , es, offered to repay the .association as soon as their hnebands rem tte.l matey; and one of them, directly she received a remittance from her husband, insisted on repaying a sovereign to the Association, saying at the sane time "That there was many a poor sole ier 'mite who needed it more than she did." more than 200 have been placed in situations as housemaids, cooks, nurses, washerwomen, Sec., and generally have given satisfaction ; one of them writes thus to the Inspecting Officer : " Sir. - According ter promise, I now let y. u know how ram get ting em.. I never was s 5 happy in al , my life. I have indeed a kind master and mistress; they rook to my comfort in every way ; I might well say it is equal to my own home. I only wish to God that more of the women were so well provided for as I am, elr. Will you return the association thanks in my name, for their kindness to me and my child ; also +or the 10a. I have received, with which I have bought some clothes. I hope that I will keep my situation a - long time. The lady seems to like me very well, and she says that anything in her power she will do to promote my comfort. With my sincere thanks to yon for your kindness, " your obedient servant , er E• Many ;women, natives of Nova Scotia and Canada, on being pro vided a passage by Government to their own country, have been granted a donation of 3!. each, to provide them with comforts for themselves and children duiing the voyage. To 17 women of dif ferent regiments, all married with leave, has the Association been thus beneficial. - On the filth of June information was received from the Ports mouth Local Committees that .34 women and 72 children would be forntarded to London, on their way to their husbands' parishes, from Dial a, from' whence they had been ordered home, their regiments having gone on to Turkey. The Inspecting Officer of the Association waslmmediately ordered to the Waterloo Station, where, having with difficulty got them all toeether, he took them to the Pay Offiee in Westminster, where they were to receive passage warrants for their different destinations. But they were unable to proceed till the next day ; and thus would have been left utter strangers in the streets of Westminster, searching in vain for lodgings, which, with the sepal! Government allowance granted for that purpose, they were unable to pay for. Respectable lodgings were found for them all, and their children ; and the next day they were despatched to their destinations with a small donation for travelling expenses. It is needless .to add, that all these women were married with leave, and many of theist ,most respectable wives of non-commissioned officers. Upwards of 3,500 women and 7,000 children have been kept from actual want during the last six months. the greater part of whom still remain claimants en the Association, especially those who have become widows and orphans. This has been done by the outlay during the past six mouths of 9,1721., chiefly in weekly payments, both by the Central Cemm ttee and the 78 Local Committees. Beside's these 10,500 women and children, fresh applications are made almost daily to the office ; thus showing that the number of women and children left behind is much greater than the public were led to suppose by the Parliamentary Return called for in both Houses of Parliament. • I his, however, is cuned for by showing the inaccuracy of tbe P ar li a mentary Return, co as foi t lows : 63d Regis:lent.' 63d Regiment. Parliamentary Return. Association Return. No.' of Women and Children, No. of Womereand Children, 170. 245. • The • Association return e as received during the same month that the Parliamentary Return was given ; and as it contained the name of every woman, and the number and ages of every child, and was signed by the Colonel commanding the regiment, it may very fairly be considered to have been the most accurate one. If there be such a discrepancy in the returns of one regiment, what must there be in 40 ? • MARRIAGE WITHOUT LEAVE. It is a curieus fact that has been brought to light by the practice' experience of this Association, that, without exception, those sol diers who have married with leave, or whose wives were admitted into barracks, and recognised by the regiment, have left the largest families, and, id.donssquence, are by far the most deseriing of ,om miseratioti. •Vo then persons the Association has beennf the greatest benefit ;.,weile, at the same time, amongst those women married without leave, much misery has been found to exist, which gha ASSOCIatIOII. MS not refrained from alleviating. Tile-Committee, however, regret to find, that notwithstanding all the positive and'practical good that has been effected by the Associa tion, there still remain in the minds of some military men strong ob jections to its operations; it Is still urged that undue encouragement is.given to marriage witheut leave, and that large numbers have thus married since the institution of the Associ tioa. If the opera tion of the Asso6littion had afforded such encouragement, surely evi dence of it would have appeared from a number of applications for ' relief on the part of wo :.en who had married in anticipation of it. Only one ;simile ilion has' been made at this office by the wife of a soldier whosemarrlage certificate was dated I (854, as that the ob jection would appear to be entirely groundless; and it might be eon sidered almost needless to say mere in answer to it. But the Com mittee have it.to show; that while they have oily - contemplated those ca.es as entitled to relief which they found already sanctioned by Government, or acknowledged by cOmmalding officers, they have made a rule (No. 3), and have taken all the means in their'power to give it publicity, which puts it out or their power to relieve any who may have married calculating on assistance from them ; thus taking into consideration ,and providing against a con •tingency Which Might 'have arisen, but which has not occurred. The foliewing are the rtiles with reference to this sunjett ;7 - 1 1. No sold.erls wife is entitled to re let wh so name is not ent:red in the regitheiital return: which, though it contains the names of al women whether married with or without leave, is yet signed by the Colonel commanding the,regiment, and thus they are partially at knowlAged. 2. The Government makes no difference between these women, awl the , passages of all are equally deirayed to the, parishes of their husbands. , . .. 3. Vie rule for the relief of soldiers' wives married without leave is only retrosp"ctive : ior no soldier who has married without leave since Ju1y...1854, will be entitled to relief for Ills wife, On the 4 , 11 July,"lB;4, at the largest Meeting ever held by the ,General Committee, General the Earl of Beauchamp in the chair, it "'That unanithously, resolved— ... • . ; , . from and alter the date of th i s resilutlon, the 4th July, 1854, no wife or widow be entitled to a donation or pension who shall have marrie I a soldier without leave. whether they belong to. regiments on active service or to regiments now under orders of readiness for active service, prodded that such orders of readiness were received imbacquently -to the-formation of this AesOclation, on the 7th Mires, 1854. , As the Government, the officers commanding regiments,* 'and the . Association have 'found it absolutely necessary to countenance, to a certain extent,' marriageavithout leave. and as it appears from the returns of the mat ried men of the 30 regiment 4 of the line, and the 10 regiments of Cavalry, that a large proportion of them in each regiment are married without leave, it becomes a serious question how far the treatment hitherto carried out towards Wives of soldiers has been successful In the prevention of matrimony: It is evident • that, in spite 'of all the certain misery entailed upon them; 'soldiers will marry, and can find *respectable women to marry them ; it is also evident from the univi real sympathy shown to their wives and families ou the present occasion, that the country would gladly be . friend theni-offectually ; 'the Committee would therefore direct par- Heater attention to the concluding remarks at the decidedis report, tin hopes that, pease practical measa e may, be upon as speedily as possible to prevent the recurrence of so much unmerited misery and destitution: ' COLLECTIONS on the DAY of lIU3IILIATION. . Th o usands upon thousands of Her Majesty's . loyal subjects joy fully follawed her mast gracious example on this day, and poured in of their abundance for the support of an Association which their beloved Queen and his' Royal Highness Prince Albert had honoured with their joint patronage from its first commencement. ‘' • Had, it not been for the noble contributions made on. the . Day ol Humiliation, this Association would have been totally unable to grapple effectually with'the dire distress and destitution brotight to light by Its operations. - All the great religious, communities In the kingdom, except the Roman Catlicitte, unanimously joined on that day to help the soldier's wife and child. , . ~ . To the Church or England especially this Association is indebted for considerably more than two-thirds of the total am ountcol l ected. The Wesleyan body also contributed largely and gen , ronsly ; the Jews, too, joined munincently in 'this national effort by having col lections in lb -ir syrmogues.. The Committee remark with much pleasure that these astonishing collections were quite voluntary. No Qtleeil's i..etteewas.issued,•and never was any public subscription so ilvartily ass sted by the poor man's penny. , In n umberless congre gational collectibns more titan one pound's worth of halfpence was &en. Eve', the prisoners in a large izovernment prison put their names ddwn'for a subscription of more titan 201. The total amount collected on that day would have been even greater had not many I of the collections been made for the sailor's as well as the soldier's 1 wild. - Of these collections the Committee had the pleasure of paying over one-third to the Association for the widows of sailors and marines. . The Committee would point out most emphatically that, notwith standing the remarkable exception in the Fast -day Collections, no religious distinctioa whatever is made in the distribution of this 'noble charity, recipients are not even asked to what religion they belong. • . OTHER COLLECTIONS. At the heal of these stands the county of York. The Yorkshire Associaticn (with his Grace the Archbishop and all the nobilitY and at one gentry of the county as patrons and liberal subscribers) has remttte•i to the Central Asoelation the large suns of 5,000/. The press has very cons derately and effectually aided the cause of the soldier's family, but no paper, either of daily or weekly circulation; has so practically assisted these poor people as the '‘ London Journal." Tke editor 01 that paper, 1).) the weekly issue of 12 supplements, halfpenny each, has reallsei the surprising sum of 1,4211., whin has been paid in weekly instalments of 1201. Nothing proves so unanswerably as this does the sympathy of the poor, as the purchase 'of the supplement was not campulsory ou the subscribers to the paper. Subscriplons have been received from all par cotits of the w J ohorlds ; from Pauttma, Bahia, Bombay, Quebec, Nova Sa, St. New Bruaswick, Brussels,Laasanne, Bonn, Paris, CalaTs, t.aleatta, Mien, alon'reat, Boulogne, the Black Sea Fleet, Ber muda, Fredericton, New Brunswick, &c. The, generous sympathy of the Navy for the wives of the Army has been very gratifying ; indeed the first person who by an able letter in ''The Tuxes" roused the pubic to a sease of their neglect subscriptions, perhaps the most touching was that of " A Naval Officer." othterithCuethoesirosaledalileterie:senssv'suroibiltesirs. One eteran, in paYing his penny, was heard to remark, " Had there beers such an association in my day wkea I was away at the wars, my poor old woman would not have dee d in the workhouse." Several bodies of men of the working classes have agreed to send iii weekly penny contributions ; the men of Price's Patent Candle Factory, and the men of the Crewe Loco motive Department, have already paid in considerable sums Collected in this way. From several large towns cow iderable amounts have been re mitted, fr9n i w i nger!, Cheltenham, &c.: but the town of Bath has exceeded them all by several hundred pounds. The HALLWAY COMPANIES—LYING-IN-HOSPITALS. So universal has been the sympathy displayed towards Use poor peOple whom Oils association has taken by the hand, that all the great lines of• rallway have been made free to the soldier'S child. Particularly the London and North. Western, and the Portsmouth pnexoni „ n dl i g officer who could not find amongst 131 i soldiers' wives inert:lei w i.h leave a sufficient number wiling to embark w ith their litiOands and leave their families behind, were permitted by authority to complete the number by seection frotu the childless „ nava w ardo rithout leave, hying oat 9f barr ‘ wks. , , " I send you a statement of a few cases, which strike me a; being unusually distressing. There arc many nearly as had, 140 in num ber. Very few of the women who have young children (and the children are nearly all too young to work) can.earn anything worth noticing, 2s. or 3s. a week at the most. Of course those who enjoyed the privileges of liyl•sg in the barracks, &c., as,being married with leave, arein the worst circumstances, end they suffer severely. They lose the lodging and 'advantages of fuel, company's and officers' washing, sayss. or6s. a week, and the assistance of their - hush - ands' pay. Lodging here of a very indifferent sort costs Them 21: and 3s. a week, and they will be far worse lodged than when in barracks. I send you the cases of four women all married with leave, one with six children, anotlaer_live,. ano.her four, another three; there are many others married with leave having two or three children nearly as destitute. There ie no enapnoyment that they are capable of, hampered at they are with 'young children for whose care they must pay if they leave them at home and seek employment elsewhere. "A. F. - BOND, Ma,Or and Staff Officer." Extract from the Report of the Woolwich Local Committee " Woolwich Rectory. 4th September; 1854. "The women were Jett in very many cases, I am sure I May say in almost all, without any means for themselves and their children. Many were on the eve of confinement. Their only resource mould hava been to become r aupers on the parish, and their only asylum would have been'the Workhouse. A generous provision ort•the part of a grateful country for 'the wives and families of those on whom they depended, under God, fur a successful lasite.of tlutwar in which we have been compelled to englge has prevented this. But supposs this had not been the-ease —how hardly would the maintenance of so many have pressed upon. the poor-rate payers; and in litany in stance how unfairly.' Take Woolwich , for instatece, and the case would be similar wt• h respect to all garrison towns. We have no wards of 200 women, besides their chilrren, ,to be_ maintained some how. I think it quite possitle" that the burden would pave been felt so heavily, that a memorial might have been sent to the Governninnt ; but however this Might be, the expense would have been unfairly, thrown tip,,n parishes such as pur own; but th s is a trifling matter when ebmpared with the padperiztitien cf respectable wives of sol diers of our army. " HENRY BROWN, _Rector of Woolwich." Extract from the Report'or tha Dublin Dotal :Committee :-- "September, 4, 1854. " I find that since the Ist of July to the 2d inst. I have made about 3,400 payments (in small sums varying froM Is. to IL 55.), to about 400 women (solliers' wives). We have granted several women free passages to their friends and relatives, released clothes from pawn offices for women going Into situations, set up - numbers in a small way of business, defrayed the funeral expenses of a few children, and in numbzxless other ways have been the means of conferring substan tial benefits upon these poor people, &c. Had it not been for the small weekly payments the majority would have been in the poor hoese. Many women, although they only reedied 3s. 6d. a-week, were thus kept going, and encouraged to work ter themselves and children, lice. " CHARLES HORT, Senior Garrison Chaplain, and Honorary Secretary to Committee." Extract from the Report of another Local Committee : "We have hardly relieved any that were not married with leave and on the 8' rangtti. By the timely aid rendered by your Society, much distress was of connie prevented, as, as soon as they were left, your excellent Society took them by the baud. Bat timely as this aid was offered, it wan not before, in many cases, the poor creatures had parted with nearly everything, even .n two cases to their we ddi ng _ ringb. What would have been the condition of these poor creatures if no such society, as yours had existed ? Many of them, frr too high spirited to have become the inmates of a workhouse,would have been plunged into a a ate of asbery fearful to contemplate. But even as it is, much misery is to be found. A poor delicate creature, with two children, married with leave, to whom your society grants a weekly allowance, has been compelled to part with her furniture. So distres sing.% this woman's case, and so respectable a character does she apmar to be, that some of the other women have helped her out of their small pittance, &c. Every day I feel pore thankful for the good your sOCiety is doing; upwards of 30 are receiving help from you at this place. I only wish those who have contributed large surns to youi society could witness the gratitude of Lima poor women tor the help they receive; they would, indeed, feel More than repaid for all they, have done." , • •• - - -SOLDIERS WIVES at VARNA. Sr. Ray, formerly the active and intelligent Inspecting Officer o this Association, writes from Varnaeta the following effect : " Varna, August 4, 1854. • r " Sir,—l beg to draw your attention to the condition of the poor women here.

NAVAL AND MILITARY IN TELLIGBNCff, The Miranda, 15, screw, Captain Lyons, went out of Ports{ mouth Harbour yesterday morning, and cruised about Spithead to test her engines and boilers. She afterwards took in her powder and shell, and will be off to the Crimea by daylight this morning. The Ariel, 9, screw, hauled out of Portsmouth Dock on Monday morning, and will Complete for the pendant with all despatch. The Swallow, 9, screw, Commander Cranford, went out of Portsmouth Harbour on Monday afternoon, and took a few turns at the measured mile. The vessel was out of trim, aid it could not be called a trial. Her auxiliary engine, however (60 horse nominally, by Miller and Raion bill anti Salkeld), worked well up to 80 revolutions, with 18 lb. pressure. They are beautifully constructed and fitted, and not the slightest vibration was perceptible in the ♦essel. • She is complete in manning, with the excep tion of about 10 A Bs. Her excellent commander has secured a first-rate ship's company, and the beautiful little , craft will 'proceed to Gibraltar in the course of a few days, where Commander Cranford will be the senior on the station. -• • THE NEW SCREW GUN-BOATS. As wo have already stated, previously to completing the fittings •of the screw-gun-boats (210 tons 'and' 60-horse power,. high. pressure), the Admiralty have determined to subject the first—the .Pelter—to the severest test it is possible to pet a vessel through. With this view, it is understood that the Pelter, in charge of Air. Mugford, matter of the flag ship at iroolwich, and . Mr. Dinner', in spector of •steam -machinery afloat, at Somerset House, will proceed, about Thursday next, to the Channel, and will cruise tilers for some days, testing her qualities in the most varied manner. She could not possibly have a more triing season of the year than the present, rough seas are certain to be met with and gales frequent ; and if she gets 'through her ordeal.with anything like satisfactiox there will be some encouragement to proceed on the wholesale. scale of building screw-gun-boats projected. - There cannot be a shadow of a doubt that this trial Ad u l t ' take . ptace before the Admiralty proceed too far ; in their building. The great fault hitherto had been thEtt classes of vessels that have turned out wretched fail uris &aye been built by half-dozens, and even dozens, be fore one of them has been tested at sea. The success that has attended the Arrow, screw despatch cruiser class, justifies our confidence in the. success of the Pelter ; but still it must be borne in mind that in the Pelter we have a new and untried .maohine, and as some scare of the untried engines have been ordered, it is right wet should know something about them, althotigh Messrs. ..Petin's name is a aufazient.guaFAutee.that what they have undertaken has been adopted on the safest grounds. dAPTAIN PASLEY'S VISIT TO THE COSSACK. The Cossack was visitediifferallriiiierday by Captain Sit Thomas 'Pasley 'for Muster and inspection:of officers anll crew.. The gallant Captain returnod from inspecting t4officers and, crew of the Cumberland at 2 p.m. , in the dfire. After mustering the crew and officers of the Cossack, he inspected the ship throughout, bet Ween• decks and the engine-room. Tho crew were then piped to quar ters at their respective ,guns; shortly after the fire-bell was rung, and in a few seconds every precaution was talstu by. closing hatches, skylights, &c., and every man was at his station. Captain ranshawe and the officers of this ship deserve great credit for the state of 'discipline they have already attained, most of the crew being newly raised mon, They went through their general exercise in a manner highly creditable to officers and men.. She is at pr sent short of her complement, in all about 50 hands, in . °Wive of le petty officers. Being at present about - nine inches by the head, it is,expected that an additional quan tity of iron ballast will be taken on board and 'stowed in her after hold, so as to bring her about - nine inches by the stern, in order to produce a proper immersion of her screw propeller. Her machinery acts admirably. On her late trial down with 12 lb. pressure on the square inch he t engines made 66 revolutions per minute , her rate being 10 knots and over. She bids fair to bo a fast vessel unrlin . steam power. Her nominal power is 250 horse. N4thing is at present positively known as to her destina ticin. Assistant - Surgeon A. 11.1'Kenna has taken up his commission at Chatham and joined this ship. . - THE CREW OF THE A. AND AND THE COLOSSUS. Yesterday 165 men, belongtil . the Ajax, 60, screw steam -ship, Captain Warden, were turned over to the Co lossus, SO, screw ship, Captain Robinson,.lnider orders to sail to-day for the West Indies. They appeared to have little objection to the change. This makes the latter vessel's crew a most efficient one. The Colcssiis's crew wore not paid advance of wages on Monday night, as intended, th e re net being su ffi cient time. They were paid yesterday. The Ajax, 60, herself is to come into harbour to have her bottom examined, to see what damage has boon done to it from her getting ou shore in the Baltic. COUNTERMAND FOR, THE CUMBERLAND. w A countermanding order as given on Sunday last for the Cuniberland to remain at the Nore, in consequence of her 'powder and live shell being still on board. She was prohibited from mooring near Sheerness dockyard, and was towed into harbour yesterday evening's tide, And is ordeied to proceed to Chatham this morning's tide. STEAM FLOATING BATTERIES .FOR TIIE BALTIC. The principal portion of these enormous floating bat- Aeries, ordered by the Admiralty two completed by next spring, will be built in the river; by Mr, Gro, to (Prom the Moniteur de l' Armee.) If anything could diminish the regret of the country at a moment when it deplores the loss of the illizstri3ns . Marshal whom death has carried off in the midst of his trinOphs, it would be the choice of the young General who the Emperor has intrusted with the task of finish ing the work so gloriously commenced on the banks of the Alma. Although the military career of the new Commander-in-Chief of the French troops in the East is generally-known, we think-it will be of use to recall to mind his services, which justify in a striking manner the confidence of the head of the State and of the whole ar m y. Francois Certain Canrobert was born in 1809, w the department of Lot, a few leagues from the village which gave birth to Murat. He entered the school of St; Cyr in the month of November, 1826, and left in one of the. first ranks niter two years .of laborious study. Appdirited Sublieutenant of the 47th of the Line on the Ist of October, 1828, he was made lieutenant on the 20th of June, 1832, embarked for Africa in 1835, and arrived in the province of Oran, where the Emir, Abd-el-Bader, after the unfortunate affair of the Meets, kept our army in check. A short time afterwards he took part in the . expedition of Dtlasoara,.in which he began to make him self known.

"the 26th of April, 1837. He went in the same year to the province of Constantine, where the Duke de Nemours and General Dararemont made preparations to revenge a . deep, insult. 'He received a wound in the leg at the as sault of that place by the 'ride of Colonel Ccimbes, as old soldi!er of the island. of Elba, to whom be was orderly officer, and who was mortally wounded at the breach. .Before he died, Colonel Combos recommended the young captain to Marshal Val4e as an officer full of promise. General Canrobert returned to France in 1839, deco ratel with the Legion - of Honour, and-was charged with orgapising for the Foreign Legion a battalion chosen from the band of Spaniards who had taken refuge with Cablera upen the F renc h t err it ory. Th an k s t o th e per some ing activity o f th e organ i ser, t h ese remnants o f the civil, war Were very soon ready to take part in the labours of our troops in Algeria. ' • ` . Cilled to the camp. of St. Omer in 1840, he drew op witlisuccess, by ordet of the Duke of Orleans, several Chipters of a filanual - destinid for nee of the officers oft e light troops. In the north C a pt a i n C anro b er t was into porated with the 6th battali on o f F oot Ch asseurs , 1.. 'ilia -eturned to Africa in 1841.

After having attained the rank of Chief of ' Battalion of the 15th Light, on the 22d of 'May, 3842, he was placed at the head of the sth battalion of Chas- seuril, which was - incessantly in the field on the 'WAS of Kt Chetiff, and took part under the orders of General en r 1 in the affair of the grettoee and that of Sbeah, la iso in several combats on the ltiou. Part of the year 1842 and the whole of the year 1843 er employed in fresh operations in Africa, and in all E 1 em General Canrobert worthily maintained ;th e on ur_ of his battalion.

The chief of the sth Lattalian - gave glorious co-operation in the affairs of . Bahl, Oned-Metmour, Oued-Gri, and 'Oued;Senzig. In the former he succeeded with 2 50 bayonets in keep ing at bay more than 3,000 men, who could not break his :ranks; For this exploit .he was appointed Lientei Colonel on the 26th of October. He was soon after wards closely blocked up in the town of Tenez, where he bad succeeded Colonel Claparhde. Eight months of continual st r uggles brought about , the pacification of the country, -and the superior officer 'to whom this result was due obtained the'rank of colonel, upon the scene o lil conquests. After having ' commanded the 2,1 Regiment of the Line, lie entered the 2d of the Foreign Legion on the 21st of March, 1848, and occupied Bathna. General - Herbillon intrusted him at this period with the command.- of a-strong column, with orders to attack and intimidate the mountaineers of the Aures. This order was promptly -executed. Colonel Canrobert surprised the enemy, at the tort of Djebel-Chelia, defeated bhp; drove him, accord . in hand, as far as Kebech, in the Amer-Kraddon, and made prisoner of the Bey, Ahmed. On his return to Bathea. he went to Auma e, and took the command of the ' itegiment 01 . :Zona es.

INCREASE OF THE - SQUADRON IN THE WEST INDIES AND , NORTH AMERICA. ' * . '. From the preparations actually made and in progress it would appear that some work has been cut out 'for the Baltic fleet during the winter. Our transatlßMicfriends, true to their characteristics, have begun to be troublesome now that they fancy we have got our hands fu l l; but it t would seem that England, has not yet entirely given up the fishing-grounds taßrother Jonathan ; they have not al falldn in with the notion that Bermuda and the West India Islands shouhrbe outside states of-the great republic; NY nor !will they permit any more fillibustero invasions of a _Cube, or cowardly piraticaratticks iiponnnoffending.and , h we !regret to add, unprotected independent territories. C One Yankee•frienas have grown saucy with impunity' and' , insolent Ivith indulgence, _nod especsially, so the menesf-• f, war's men with they puny shadow of a fleet. Because J . thei do notipeee .so .many line-of-battle ships And frigates' e knoikieg about the . West Indies as they were, wont to see soya' te n or a . dozenYears - sinee, th6j . fanoY that, like the 1 1 frOg in the fehle, they can puff themselies up as ,big as,: I Joh )31111 himself. i The piraticlal 'affair of Cuba, and-the bullying and s‘ittg-' goriiig about the fisheries, the British Government conld.. .afford to treat quietly and indulgently; but nowin a state of w ar the case is altogether different. -Great Britain has naturally become more jealous of her dignity and more tenacious of her rights. - ' ' ' ' ' The affair of Grey Town, as cowardly an act as ever die graded a man of war, and the insult to the British flag on that eceasion followed sup 'by the shameless bragging Of the Captain of the Cyane, seem to have brought matters to a climax ; and these little circumstances taken into consi . - aeration with reports of American purchases of Russian territory, American building of Russian men-of-war, and the fitting out of American ships as- Russ!lin privateers, have moved the . English Government ttl prepare a slight correction for our go-ahead friends, which will do them a great deal of good, and 'lower the tone of that offensive swaggering which is only an affectation of real courage. With Our bands fall with the Baltic and Black Sea 1 fleets, we have yet a man-of-war: or two to spare to put 1 the Yankees down ; and if Brother Jonathan means mis chief he will -assuredly have to pay' dearly for his frolic. It is well , known that the Boseawen, 70, Captain Glan ville, came hothe early from the Baltic to proceed to Hali fax. She is there, and has the admiral's flag. • Another line-of-battle ship, the Colossus, sO, is to proceed to the West Indies, to be under Rear-Admiral Fanshawe's com mand. A screw-frigate, , the Termagant, is already on her passage there, to take commodore's broad pendant at Ja maica ; and it is reported that an additional line-of-battle ship and three frigates (the Hannibal,-91, screw, Commo dore the Hon. F. W. Grey ; and Curacoa, 31, screw, Cap tain the Hon. H. F. Hastings, amongst the number), &e., will reinforce-the West India squadren. If these vessels should be added to the force already there and en route, we shall have the following on . the station . :- ' Hanaibal Colossus Boscawen Cnracoa ' 3l, screw-frigate. Termagant ' 24, screw-frigate. Vestal 26, sailing frigate, Calypso With smaller steamers, sailing sloops, &c. We trust that this force will be quite sufficient to in duce the Yankees to draw in their horns, and behave with decency to weaker as well as stronger powers. If not, there are net only means but inclination, we believe, to compel them. . . . The impudent bully. of the Cyane, who was sorry that there was not 'an English man-of-war at Greytown larger than the schooaer Bermuda, may now have a chance of picking up his match, if his Government dare to entrust him with a command.—Morainglleratd. ARRIVAL FROM THE BALTIC Her Majesty's steam despatch gun vessel Wrangler ar rived-at Hull on Monday from the Baltic. It is expected that she will proceed to the Black Sea. The 'Porcupine, 3,Lientenant-Cominander 'George M. Jackson, arrived yesterday at noon - from the Baltic. She left Faro Sound on the Bth instant, in company with the new steam gun-boat Wrabgler, and a French Corvette ; she came in on the Gth instant, ,being engaged td tow the Neptune to 'Kiel. The Porcupine arrived at Copenhagen on the - 10th, and left on the 11th, with the Arrogant, the Lightning leaving the same morning for Elsinore. Left Hecla and Driver coaling, 'to return to the fleet.; parted ' company with Wrangler, This experimental gun-boat, of long range power, has not fired a shottod gun since she left England. • • On the Porcupine leaving, Sir Charles Napier, with a portion of his fleet, was at Baro Sound. The cholera broke out very bed at , Baro Sound immediately after the Termagant had put in therewith the Russian prisoners. This islhe Swedish verilion df its ofigin. there. Certain it is that the. Swedish Government were .using the moat stringent precautions to prevent the spread of this disease, adapting sanitary cordons,: and • placing sentinels over every infected house,.who kept strickguard that no person left the infected districts after once entering them. " The Porcupine lying there in charge of the .steam fleet of col t hers, the cholera made its appearance amongst the masters and crews. There were coniers of all nations amongst them, and many of the ,ofqeer.s and crews suffered very severely. These were all promptly and continually at tended to by Assistant-Surgeon M'Acree, of the Porcupine _--and previous to the departure of the Porcupine, a depu tation of fourteen masters of all nations waited upon Mr. M'Acree, ,with a testimonial expresaing, the warmest thanks for his unremitting kindness, and of his successful treatment of - themselves and their crews, as -not one ease amenist )y,liole fleet proved fatal, from the prompt and unremitting attention of this gentleman. The French man,afestat Duguesclin, from 'the Baltic,. left the Dowris.yesterday at one p.m., .for Cherbourg.
