MEDICAL ADVICE ON THE SECRET INFIRMITIEi OF YOUTH AND MATURITY. DR. SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. MAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life. than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist.- once secret causes of self - acqu i r ed miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous 'Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy' and Unfruitful Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all 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 consequenc es may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com- Plaints, and is the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is free. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply rewarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions. At home for consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from Six till Eight. All letters must contain the fee of 11., and advice and Medicines can be forwarded to any initials or address. It is desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LA'MERT should first obtain a copy of his work on SELF.PRESERVATIO N A Medical Treatise on the Philosophy of Marriage and Nervous and Generative Debility, illustrated by fifty-coloured engravings, and des cribing in detail the various disorders resulting from secret habits and excesses. The perusal of this treatise will assist in the correct description of their cases, and may be had, price 2s 6d, in English, French, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, or German, of Messrs.

SUPPLEMENTS TO THE MORNING ADVERTISER. rTHE extraordinary increase which has taken place in the circulation of the " Morning Advertiser" since its enlargemont. three years ago, has been followed by so great an influx of advertisements as to render indispensable the publication of a series of SUPPLEMENTS after the commencement of the approaching session. Supplements to the "Morning Advertiser will accordingly be issued as often as the pressure of .Advertisements or intelligence may render their publication requisite. To form an idea of the increase which has taken place in the circulation of the " Morning Advertiser," it will only be necessary to give the News paper Stamp Returns for 1850, and the circulation, as nearly as may be ascertained, of the various morning papers, except one, at the present time. In 1850 the Stamp Returns gave the following h e : MORNING ADVERTISER. •.. • • .......... 1,549,843 Daily News.. • • .......• •• .• •• •• .......... 1,152,000 Morning Herald . . , 1,1R9,000 Morning Chr0nie1e.......• •••••• • • ........ 912,547 Morning Past .. •• .• • • ........ • ...... ... • . 828,000 It will be observed from this statement, that, omitting the" Times," the circulation of the "Morning Advertiser" was then far above that of its morning contemporarie s. Were the Stamp Returns to be given down to the present time, the relative circulation of the" Morning Advertiser to its four morning contemporaries assuming that their circulation has undergone no diminution—would be as f Bows : MOR SING ADVERTISER .• ••.. • • • 2,356,260 • Daily News •..••••• • • • • • • 1,152,000 Morning Herald • • • • • . • • • • • • .... • • • • • ....• 1,139,000 Morning Chronicle .. • • • ..... • • _ 912,547 Morning Post . • • ...... .... 828,000 It will be seen that the p7esant circulation of the " Morning Adver tiser" is more than double that of the two highest of its four contem poraries, and nearly treble that .of one of their number. The annal of journalism contain no instance of success at all approaching thinso Such brilliant progress is the best coospliment which could be paid to the "Morning Advertiser's entire independence of all parties and advocacy of the popular Governments, and its earnest and unceasing cause.

LIFE ASSURANCE; REPORT of the SELECT COMMITTEE of the HOUSE of COMMONS, and the DEPOSIT SYSTEM—the New and Important Feature of Life Assurance a do p ted by The DEPOSIT and GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY. The following is an extract from the Report of the Select Com- mittee : " THE OBJECTS which persons HAVE IN VIEW IN EFFECTING IN SURANCES upon their lives, are GENERALLY OF AN IMPORTANT AND SOLEMN chsraeter, viz., the PROVISION FOR WIDOWS AND ORPHANS after the death of their NATURAL PROTECTORS ; unlike any ordinary transaction of trade, a CONTRACT ONCE ENTERED INTO CANNOT BE DISCHARGED OR ABANDONED, if doubts of the stability of an office should arise, WITHOUT A SACRIFICE OF PREMIUMS PAID IN PAST YEARS, and the necessity of effecting new policies in other offices at increased rates of premium, owing to the greater age of the assured ; persons are thus placed in the ANXIOUS AND. UN HAPPY DILEMMA OF BEING COMPELLED TO PERSEVERE IN PAYING PREMIUMS FROM YEAR TO YEAR, 'with SOME suspicion and doubt as to the ultimate advantage of doing so, OR OF INCURRING THE SE RIOUS LOSS WHICH, UNDER THE MOST FAVOURABLE CIRCUMSTANCES, MUST ATTEND THE ABANDONMENT OR SALE OF A POLICY." On the DEPOSIT SYSTEM a person is NOT " COMPELLED" to pay from " YEAR TO YEAR," and he does not, if desirous of "ABANDON ING" his Policy, incur any SERIOUS Loss," but, on the contrary, he may pay such amounts, and at such times AS he may find most con venient; he can stop paying 'whenever he pleases, and he can with draw the whole or part of his premiums. If the whole be with drawn the Policy is cancelled ; if part only, then the value of the Policy is diminished by the assured value of the part withdrawn. A B, aged 20, opens a deposit policy with a payment of 5/., which it will be seen he increases from time to time, and occasionally diminishes. • G ©- m i c , 0^ CnOM.MN,Om CO .-+, . , Ilt 9;v0m.c , 27452. 1. r! 0 P 41=Velgro ISM gg.7.17,g8 .-.........-.

THE FUSIONIST POLICY. Our Paris contemporaries having evinced extra ordinary interest in the argument put forward by the Times of Monday week, in its leading article, in reference to the Fusionists and their policy, we deem it advisable to give that article in its entirety, as subjoined : - " If chivalry were to be looked for anywhere in these degenerate and mercantile days it shou) , l be in the Fusionist press of Trance. The advocates of a cause which has little save one-sided historical -ecollections and traditions to support it, their somewhal:;entimental . . view of politics should thenrto place- duty eiive - expe diency, and to urge the sacrifice of anythi ng except honour. But it is always dangerous to reason from antecedent probabilities, especially in the case of baffled and de feated factions, for they generally prefer their animositi es to their principles, and the gratification of a momP:ntary spite to consistency in action or elevation in opinions. Of all who have written on the question., at issue be tween the Western Powers and the ET2peror of Russia; none have taken so mean and groViaing a view of the controversy as the Fusionist press. They have busied themselves in suggesting the meanest and most improbable motives for the action of this country in opposition to Russia. Unable to believQ in anything but sordid objects and hollow professions, they have set themselves, with a perverse ingenuity, to persuade the public of France that their alliance with England is a bargain in which France has been craftily overreached, and that, instead of maintaining the violated law of Europe in the coercion of a barbarous and aggressive Power and in the preserva tion of the rights of nations, France is m a d e th e mere tool of British policy, and is fighting for a prize which her perfidious ally is destined to bear away. The in terest of England, we are told, is " evident and consi derable." It consists in her preponderance in the Levant, in her immense commercial relations with Turkey any', Asia, in confining Russia within the Black Sea, and driving her from the East towards the West and?`; ort h . These are the objects for which Liverpool, Glas• gow , an d ar, and for which we are told, are content to go to Ir gg which France is to be involved in a profitlessle. stru We have on a former occasion dispr. se d of miserable insinuations of this kind so far as r', g ards India, and a very few words are sufficient to 'Flow the hollowneis of the rest. The whole commere:tal system of this country has undergone a revolution 'which excludes the possibility of its deriving any adv,a,ntage from the prosecution of war. England seeir:s no exclusive commercial privileges. Opening her ovr a ports to all nations, she is content to receive from them such treatment as their more or less enlightened views of their own interests may induce them to give. She asks no pre-eminence, no predomi nance ; and where, as in China, she has dictated peace to a conquered enemy, she made no better terms for hergelf than for every other nation in the world. Liverpool, Glasgow, and London are well aware that, in this age of the world, commerce is not to be extended by arms, nor forced as a burden on conquered nations at the cannon's mouth. It is to the interests, not the fears of mankind, that the commercial spirit of England appeals. Arms may protect her com merce, but that commerce must work out its own ex tension. The spread of our trade, and the increased de mand for our manufactures we find in the power, not in the weakness, in the progress, not in the barbarism of foreign countries. Our interests are inseparably con nected with the peace, order, and good government of the world. Every step in advance is to our advantage, every retrogression to our injury. We hare nothing to fear from the rival industry and commerce of Russia, crippled by restriction, borne down by taxes, choked for want of internal communication, starved for want of capital, and pining under the withering shade of des potism. The Russian fleet may be terrible to the Turks, but its destruction, should it take place, will add nothing to our nautical predominance and will destroy the only hostage we now possess for the good behaviour of its master. But there is one thing which this country de sires, which Glasgow, Liverpool, and London desire, and the preservation of which is worth all that could be wrested from a barbarous enemy by a hundred successful campaigns. That one thing is Peace. The bare apprehension of war has already destroyed more capital and defeated more enterprise than would have served to convert the coasts of the Black Sea from a howling wilderness to a smiling gar den. Blessed with the means of internal prosperity and . progress such as she never possessed before, it is not the call of interest, but of duty and honour alone, that Eng land permits herself to be turned aside from these allur ing pursuits, and is ready to enter on a contest which she views with reluctance and abhorrence. Such we believe to be the feeling of France, and, therefore, when the Fusionist organs ask what gain these countries pro pose to themselves by the war in which they are all but involved, we answer None. War is a pursuit in which the most brilliant success is a heavy loss —a loss exactly proportioned to the degree of social and political advancement of the belligerent country. But France and England propose to them selves something better than territorial aggrandisement, political preponderance, or commercial monopoly. They propose to establish the claim of the great European public to consider itself something better than a band of robbers, where the strong plunder the weak, and those not immediately attacked view the outrage with passive indifference. They propose to vindicate the supremacy of law over violence—of the con science and reason of mankind over barbarous tyranny and overbearing might ; to preserve the faith of treaties and the transactions of nations with each other from that anarchy which is gnawing the very vitals of their internal polity. When they shall have discharged this sacred duty, when they shall have chas tised the aggressive power which tramples on public law and spurns at the very idea of national independence, France and England will gladly lay aside their arms and return to the arts of p6 ace, proud in the consciousness that nothing by their sacrifices and dangerse excepthave the gainedr respect p ect and gratitude of Europe. This is the only answe r we can give to the question of the Fusionist journal as to what France has to gain in the struggle with Russia. No doubt, it would be far more agreeable to both branches of the Bourbon family, united in nothing, we believe, so strongly as in their country and th e i r su b serv i ency t o t h e false to her t rea ti es , h er h onour , h er h c a z t a r r e , d to o e f e this ey r a nee high mission among European States, covering such. baseness under the pretext of moderation and neutrality, and suing for the employment of mediator, instead of speaking with the tone of imperial command and autho rity. Whatever France lost by the ejection of the elder and younger branches of the Bourbon family, there is no doubt that Russia has every reason to regret their fall. The Revolution of, 1830 intercepted an alli ance between the King of France and the Emperor by no means favourable to the interests of Great Britain, and Louis Philippe, in a long series of humiliating over tures, compromised the dignity of France in order to procure the support of the E mperor Nicholas f or t h e title of the Orleans family. What wonder that the fusion of.these two families should be inaugurated by an attempt to divorce France from the alliance of a country from which many benefits, repaid with n What won d er t h a t t h ey s h ou ld seh t signal hey ingratitude have received so seek to degrade the policy of their successor to the level of their own, and to substitute for an equal and honour ablegland in a good cause a base depen dence on it theh w e crooked policy and b ar b arous pretens i ons of the Court of St. P etersbur g ? hEn ( From the Times of this day. ) A few days ago we called a tt ent i o n t o t h e cyn i ca l tone, the total absence of political morality, and • the inability to conc eive any motives higher than those of the most sordid, i mmediate, and short sighted interest, wh ich characterise the Fusionist journals of France. Embarked in a cause which appeals to no immediate interest and holds out no pros pect of material advantage, the organ of the re-united scions of the house of Bourbon has m a d e it se lf a b ove all things conspicuous fo r its rejection of the feelings of honour and duty, and s tands at the b ar o f pu bli c opin i on a criminal convicted of sacrificing th e i nterests o f it s country to those of its party, without honour and expe diency, and without conciliating the esteem of the gene rous, or commanding the approbation o f th e p r udent. In a tone of abject humil it y journal . this tells us that, at the moment when the question of war ha s b ecome imme diate, and before the strugg le be gins , it has felt it its duty to examine the interests of France and England in the struggle, without party spirit, and without the pre tension to influence the decisions of Government, and that, a war once commenced, the policy of France shall be its own. In this intermediate stage, then, the po• licy of F rance an d of the Fusionist organ is not iden tical. While peace lasts the interests of its party are to be served at the expense of its country, and only in the case of war is the larger duty to predominate over the smaller. This is no obscure confession of faith. On what patriotic principle could the Fusionist party be moved to select the moment of impending war for seeking to sow mistrust and discord between France and her principal ally ? This policy can t only have one of two objects—tither to separate Prance from the alliance of England, and to carry her over to, the side of Russia, or to persuade her that she is acting in subservience to the interests of a foreign and unfriendly power. The first would, at the point to which matters have gone, be fatal to her dignity and her honour ; the second would prevent her acting with energy and unanimity in the prosecution of the war. Either might well subserve the interests of the Fusion, but both would-be eminently disastrous to the welfare of France. It might serve the objects of declining factions to dis honour the Government of France by isolating and weakening the policy of the country, or to neutralize her resistance to Russia, in order to facilitate the triumph of that mighty patron to whom the re united Bourbons look for support. The essence of such efforts is to raise a faction at the expense of the country, and to postpone the interests of the first empire of the continent to the paltry intrigues of two repudiated dynasties. - The question of the East is, we are informed, a ques tion of preponderance betwer:n England and Russia in the Councils of Turkey. The embassy of Prince Mens chikoff had, it seem; D. 15 other object than to re-establish the interest of Russia against that of England. Because England protectcti Turkey in 1840 against Mehemet Ali, by whica she P c ;iined nothing whatever, she must be actu ated by the most sordid motives in her present support of Turkey 'against Russia. This is the Fusionist account of the preF.ent quarrel with Russia. We appeal to the manhood, the honesty, the truth of the nations and Governments of Europe, whether it be the just one Is it to support the preponderance of England that France, Prussia, and Austria have joined with ter in recommending terms of agreement to Russia, in which England claims no right, no power, no privilege, which is not equally conceded to each of the i*,eat Powers ? We know what preponderance Russia Las aimed at in Turkey. By treaty after treaty she had stripped her enemy of her provinces, her prieeges, ker rights of free navigation and of in ternal government, until at last nothing remains but the provir.ces she is about to invade, and the capital she already prepares to storm. This is, indeed, a , mb ; :cion and preponderance ; but what privilege has Itngland demanded ? What advantage does she now demand at the expense of Turkey Where are the provinces she has ravished from her, or the concessions she has enforced ? In concert with Russia and France, England established the kingdom of Greece, but with out seeking or obtaining anything by the .change. The Fusionists tell us that an union of the Five Powers is - impossible ; that England and Russia can never act to gether. England desires this union, which has suc ceeded so well on so many other occasions, but Russia refuses to allow any one but herself for judge of her claims. Is this the proof of England's desire for pre dominance ? The Fusionist organ desires for France a position tion at the head of the, neutral powers of Europe, leav ing to Russia free liberty to violate the rights of nations, and to England the glory and danger of maintaining them alone. T'ne seizure of Moldavia and Wallachia is, it is said, nr;thing to France, which seeks no predomi nance, p:nd is only a blow to the gimping spirit of Eng land. Why, then, should France trouble herself to repel an 'lnvasion which is really only levelled at our greedi ness and lust of empire ? We cannot descend to notice at such a time the long catalogue of invidious reminiscences which the organ of the Fusion has deemed it for the present interest of its party to disinter from the annals of France and Englan I —unfortunately only too fruitful in such unhappy topics. Whatever they have been, France and England, at any rate, are now friends, united in one noble cause— the champions of a common civilisation—the enemies of barbarism and aggression. It would be disgraceful for England to seek, under the pretence of vindicating the national law of Darope and curbing the outbreaks of brutal violence, for any private or personal advantage. The Fusionists are determined to find such a motive, though they are perpetually varying in their estimate of what it may be. At first it was for the sake of our Indian Empire, then for our trade in the Levant, and now for the vague and shadowy object of preponderance in the East. We emphatically deny that England is actuated by any of these aims. It is to resist the preponderance of Russia, not to establish her own, that she is now on the threshold of a war from which her every feeling recoils and every interest revolts ; and, instead of trusting to obtain anything for herself in the coming confusion, she has been careful, before draw ing the sword, clearly to record the terms on which she will be always ready to sheathe it. But, if that griping selfishness which the Fusionists impute to England be unworthy of her motives* and degrading to her character, what shall we say of the part which the organs of a dynasty which claims France as its natural heritage mark out for the land which it aspires to rule ? To abdicate its historic position among Euro pean nations—to leave the care of asserting public law and redressing the balance of power to other hands—to stand tamely by and see the battle on which the liberties and civilization of Europe may depend fought out with , out daring to strike a blow for the right—to affect the office of a mediator, when, on the one side, there has been nothing but injustice received, and on the other nothing but injustice inflicted,—this is the destiny which the sons of their ancient Kings propose to the gallant and high-spirited people of France. What interest may be served by such policy we will not stop to inquire ; but assuredly that interest is not the interest of France, nor that policy the policy of a great. country. We are happy to believe that these degrading propositions are rejected by the good sense and magnanimity of the French nation with a scorn fully equal to our own. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. [PRICE SD. tional stowage for coal will be made by improved arrange ments in the fore part of the ship. It is in contemplation to reorganise and newly clothe the Dockyard Brigades. The age will be restricted to 45, so that by weeding the battalions of all men above that age, the corps will be made most efficient. A lieutenant of a sloop of war has been ordered, by the Port-Admiral, to join the Excellent, to enable him to refresh his knowledge of gunnery, which, on a late in spection was found somewhat impaired. The Simoom, 18, iron troop frigate, Captain Smith, will be docked on Tuesday next, to undergo some neces sary repairs to fit her for further service with the least delay. The Serpent, 12, Commander Lambert (acting), is re turning stores and dismantling, preparatory to being paid off on the 19th instant. PLYMOUTH, JAN. 15. Advices from Bermuda, dated the 24th of December, state that the yellow fever is over ; the weather fine and cold. So much rain had not fallen in the same time for many yerrs. The early crops of vegetables are injured, but the fruit crop is unprecedently abundant. Colonel Poole, Royal Artillery, arrived in the Vulcan on the 22d of December. The surveying vessel Saracen, having been fitted for the China Seas, will go out of harbour on Wednesday. The merchant schooner Eliza Hanson, of Fowey, Jonas Hanson, master, in ballast, drove from her anchors at 5 o'clock on Thursday morning, but, having received assistance from Mr. Thompson, Queen's harbour•master, was got off in the afternoon and towed into Stonehouse pool leaky. The Sicilian screw steamer Sorento, Captain Leopold Minutolo, from Shields for Naples, put into the Sound through stress of weather on Thursday. Mr. William Stuart, superintendent engineer of the Plymouth breakwater, died at his residence, Woodside, on the 11th inst., aged 81. Deceased was appointed by the Lords of the Admiralty on the 30th of December, 1811, and had thus been officially connected with the breakwater 42 years. SHEERNESS, Jex. 14. The Juno, 26 guns, Captain Stephen G. Fremantle, arrived here from Chatham, and was anchored at Black stakes this day at noon, for the purpose of taking in her powder, shell, &c. ; she was towed down by the steam tug vessels African and Adder. The Juno is at present about 80 short of her complement of blue jackets. The Bowscawen, 70 guns, flagship to Rear-Admiral Fanshaw, and in command of Captain William F. Glan ville, has been towed down from Chatham, and anchored at Folley Point, near Gillingham, for the purpose of taking on board her full armament.

The Sprightly steam tender (to Victory, at Ports mouth), Master (additional acting) George Allen, arrived here this day at 1.15 p.m., from Portsmouth, with volunteers for ships fitting at Chatham and Woolwich. The Melampus storeship, in charge (pro tent.), of Mr. John Jackson (b) Assistant-Master-Attendant at this yard, left here this day at 1.15 p.m., towed by the steam tug vessel African, Gill Master (acting), in command, for Woolwich, and under pilot charge of Mr. Barnes, Queen's pilot, of Woolwich. The Cyclops, 6 guns, paddlewheel steam frigate, Mas ter Commander Robert W. Roberts, was put out of dry dock yesterday, having completed all her defects. Her fitments for a troop transports are only to be of a tem porary nature, and the principal part of the officers will be berthed two in a berth on her outward passage to the Mediterranean with artillery. The Cressy, SO guns, screw steam-ship, Capt. Richard L. Warren, is progressing smartly with her fitment, her topmasts are pointed, her heavy pivot guns / and her entire armament with extra quantities of 10-inch shot, and other shot for guns of large calibre are being put on board. The Majestic, 80 guns, new screw steam-ship. The new screw propeller fan for this ship has been brought down here from Woolwich by the steam-packet Queen of the Thames, Wm.

Pidcoek, who served for upwards of the last 3 years as secretary to Commodore Superinteln dent Henry Eden, late of her Majesty's dockyard, Wool wich, has been appointed secretary to Commodore Super intendent John Shepherd, now in charge of this dock yard, and his appointment has been confirmed by their lordships. The Medea steam-sloop, Commander Augustus Philli- more, has been taken into the west dock, and on examin ing her bottom it was ascertained that she had entirely lost her false keel, as not a vestige of it remained, and the fore and aft parts of the keel were completely destroyed. The gripe was gone, and the bottom of the rudder reduced to fibres. PORTSMOUTH, Jeri*. 15 We believe Captain Sir Thomas Maitland, C. 8., of the flagship Victory, will succeed to the command of the Excellent. Sir Thomas is admirably qualified for the responsible post. He is an active and strict officer, and liked by all smart officers and good men. Rear-Admiral Chads, C. 8., left Portsmouth for the Admiralty yesterday afternoon. The following promotions in the Somerset-house Ce partment of the Admiralty took plce consequent on the retirement, from ill health, of Mr. D. S. Smith : Mr. Thomas Weigall to be clerk of the first class ; and R. C. Richardson to be clerk of the second class, vice Weigall. The Banshee steam despatch yacht, Lieutenant-Com mander Reynolds, left Spithead on Friday night for Constantinople, with despatches from the Cabinet for the British Ambassador and Vice-Admiral Dundas. She would put in at Lisbon for coals and speak Rear-Admiral Corry. Lieutenants John James Kelling (1812), Robert Lee Stephens (1826), and Patrick Campbell (1835), of the Coast Guard service, to the rank of commander, being the annual promotions in the Coast Guard. We are informed an increased expenditure for labour in the steam factory in the dockyard, to the extent of 501. per week, has been lately ordered by the Admiralty, in order to forward the progress of the engine works required for sea service. Rear-Admiral John William Andrew, C.B. on the retired list of 1846, died on the sth inst. at Chudleigh. The Rev. Dr. Woolley, D.D., Inspector-Geeeral of Dockyard Schools, has proceeded from this por t to Devonport, to hold an examination to-morrow of candi dates qualified for inspectors, leading men , wanted to fill up vacancies in Devonpor t Dockyard. The Termagant, 24, new screw frigate, &C., who is to land half are her boilers and furnaces, and to lose one-half of her nominal horse power (620 1-220 more than given to the 131-gun three-decker Royal Albert). This is considered likely to make her a good auxiliary power vessel, but it is believed she will never prove a vessel of any great merit. The Blenheim, 60, scre w guard -ship, Captain the Ho n . F. T. Pelham, is undergoing a thorough refit. Her fore mast is not replaced, having been found very rotten. Wing passages are to be constructed between her coal bunkers and the ship's side, no possibility having yet existed of stopping any shot holes that might be made in those vulnerable positions along the orlop deck. Addl. THE BRAZILS. The commander-in-Chief, Rear-Admiral Henderson, C. 8., in his flag steam-frigate Centaur, Captain Harvey, was at Rio, with the Star, 8, Commander Warren ; Bo netta, 3, Lieut.

Out of respect to an old and gallant officer we (Morn ing llerald) publish the following letter, although we have exposed the error of our contemporary. We may take the opportunity of repeating that the son of Lord Exmouth was offered a command by a Whig Board of Admiralty. We believe it was understood that the gal lant vice-admiral would only retain the command-in chief of the East Indies and China station for a year ; but although the twelvemonth has just expired, there is no doubt that he has been formally recalled, and that the official intimation of the public decision of the Board of Admiralty is now on its way to the Win chester :-- TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING HERALD. Sir,—Will you be good enough to insert in your paper, which contains so much naval news, the accom panying letter, the copy of that sent to the editor of the Times, explanatory of Vice-Admiral Sir Fleetwood Pellew's services ? and I have since heard that Sir Fleetwood's appointment to the Revolutionaire was in 1817—only three years after the Resistance was paid off.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, Ron. W. G. FESTING, Rear-Admiral. Maiden Bradley, Jan. 12, 1854. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—ln justice to Vice Admiral Sir Fleetwood Pellew, I must request you to correct the mistake re garding his 'sea services ; for the comment upon his cha racter in your paper of yesterday states the Resistance to have been the last ship he perved in as a captain forty years since. Now, allow me to inform you that Ad miral Sir Fleetwood commanded the Revolutionaire, a frigate, under Sir Graham Moore, in the Mediterranean —from 1820 to 1823 (I believe). I must also mention that I commanded a frigate—the rev psyche—which that Sir Fl ee twood had been the cap tain of p iously, and I never heard a word then of his being a severe officer. This was on the East India station in 1811, where he was well known as a gallant and promising young officer.—l am, sir, your very obedient servant, ROB. AV. G. FESTING, Rear Admiral. Maiden Bradley, near Frome, Jan. 6, 1854. MANNING THE NAVY. TO THE EDITOR, OF THE DAILY NEWS. Sir, —The recent proclamation relating to prize money will not materially improve the condition of the class U pon whom our defence at sea will mainly rest—our a ble seamen. It will still b e t rue, b y way of example, that, o f a given prize t a k en, t h e captain will take as his share 7911. 13s. and an able seaman will take 61. 12s. At least such is the result of a useful analysis recently published. Further details would encumber the question. You want to man your fleet at a time when it can be proved that men receiving 121. a month from Australia to Lon don actually left a ship touching at Plymouth and paid a class of men called runners 3/. 10s. a head to take their places on the voyage to London, thus enabling the owner to get his ship navigated to the Thames for nothing. Under such circumstances how can you help raising wages largely unless you make the shares of able seamen more attractive ? The true proportion should be the same as that which subsists between the respective emoluments of any two classes. If seamen, before the mast, had a chance of rising to the higher grades, it might be argued that supe rior advantages given to the officers of a ship act as an incentive to the men to distinguish themselves. As, how ever, the fact is otherwise, the Admiralty practically main , tains a system which tends to discourage from the naval service the very pith and marrow of the nation's strength. The consequence to the tax payer will be increased bur -1 thens, while the men you get will be of an inferior deserip tion, and eh men as the macke shame') who come to at this period, Penzance, Ryde, Southam. on, and various other ports to the number oi4 , ‘ _ of • ly hundreds, paid on the principat.:Wilfanz::%-/-r& its, and by no means disposed to place deint'sellnix for ' `t, a pe 'iod of 10 years at the mercy of offic9tellinyden't • - know. Sir James Graham must steel his nerye4 still further- ''.A He must answe r remonstrant officers lb_y ,I;6ll,ing that the navy must be manned. Let hina'* . t , to:thireH gentlemen that, as it is, they have a virtuMbiiiiimig..7,%Y .. ,,, wherewith it were wise to rest contented ; Card s valuable as are their services, they might bettenti spa4oll than those of able seamen. With a good admiral, vice admiral, a good captain and sailing master for each ship, you have all that is essential. The rest of the crew are useful, but not indispensable. The chief use of finding room for young officers is that they may learn their pro fession. One of our ships has been lately endangered on her way to the West Indies, her crew having been eked out with marines, and consisting in very small part of able seamen. This ought not to be when there is a remedy ; and in part, at least, the remedy is at hand.— Yours, &c., JOHN S. TRELAWN Y . P.S.—The case of a master in the navy who wanted to rise higher and was barred by routine, is further illus trated by intelligence lately received from the antipodes. He is seeking command in the merchant service, where he Will be valued as he deserves, while the public will probably have in his place an inferior article. DEATH OF REAR ADMIRAL ANDREW, C.B.—Rear Admiral John W. Andrew, C. 8., on the retired list of 1846, died at Chudleigh, Devon, on the sth instant. The services of the gallant deceased afloat extended over 28 years, all rendered during the war. He entered the navy in June, 1798, on board the Foudroyant, 20, Captain Sir Thomas Byard. He was present at the cap ture, in the following October, of a squadron of French ships under Commodore Bompart, destined for theinva sion of Ireland, after which he removed to the Royal George, 100, bearing the flag of Lord Bridport, in the Channel, wh e re, an d o n the Mediterranean and East and West India stations, he subsequently served in the Seahorse, 38, Blanche, 36, Conqueror, Leopard, and Canopus. While in the Leopard, he served in the boats in the celebrated catamarin attack of 1804, on the Boulogne flotilla, and was present in the Cano pus in Sir John Duckworth's action off St. Domingo, Feb. 6, 1806. Being advanced to the rank of 1101149 1 ' ant, he joined on July 24, in the same year, the London, 98, which ship escorted the Royal family of Portugal to South America ; in July, 1809, he was appointed to the Ajax, 74, Captain Robert Waller Otway, and during the two years thlt followed, saw a good deal of active boat-service in the Mediterranein. ri.After acting for six weeks as captain of the Rainbow frigate, he was confirmed as commander of the Weasel, 18, Sept. 26, 1811; and on Feb. 21, 1812, was in company with the Victorious, 74, in the Gulf of Venice, when that ship encountered an enemy's squadron, consisting of the Rivoli, 74 ; Mercure and Jena, of 18 guns each ; and Mamelouck, 8. During the action that ensued, Captain Andrew, whose exertions were ex tremely creditable, was 40 minutes engaged in close contest with the Mercure, which vessel eventually blew up. He then chased and put to flight the Jena, by whom he had also been opposed ; and having likewise driven off the Mamelouck, bore up to the assistance of the Victorious, stood across the bows of the Rivoli, and twice poured in a broadside, shortly after which the latter ship surrendered. For his exem plary conduct he was promoted, his last commission bearing date Sept. 26, 1812. His last service was as captain, from Oct. 1, 1814, to Jan. 24, 1816, of the Dee, 24, and during that period he visited Hudson's Bay. Rear-Admiral Andrew was nominated a C.B, June 14, 1815. DEATH. OF CAPTAIN HAY.—Captain Patrick Duff Henry Hay (1833), on the retired list of 1846, died on the Gth inst. He entered the navy in 1805, and served afloat 16 years. As a lieutenant he served with Sir Thomas Hardy in the :Ramifies, at the blockade of New London, and the capture of the islands in Passamaquoddy Bay, and the bombardment of Stonengton. His latest services were in command of the Redpole, Medina, and Pylades sloops. DEATH OF COLONEL MURTON, R.M.—Colonel Henry John Murton, on the retired full pay of lieut.-colonel Royal Marines, who died at Brompton, Middlesex, on the 6th inst., aged 73 ; he entered the service in May, 1798 ; became first lieutenant, Feb., 1804 ; captain, Oct., 1813 ; major, January, 1837 ; lieutenant-colonel, July in the same year ; and colonel, Nov., 1851. He served in the North Sea, and the Helder expedition in 1799 ; served in the Egyptian expedition and the East Indies in 1801 ; the West Indies (slightly wounded), in 1804 ; coast of France, and engaged. with the enemy's flotilla and batteries, in 1805 ; the Mediterranean, in 1806, engaged in cutting out the enemy's vessels vim under batteries, and was voted a sword from the Pa triotic Fund ; in 1809, coast of Spain, and aiding the Guerillas ; served in Holland in 1813.

THE AFFAIR AT SINOPE.—The following particulars have been received from Mr. Thomas Taverner, of New ton Abbot, master of the British vessel Howard, which was destroyed by the Russians in the harbour of Sinope. Under date of Constantinople, December 11, be states that, "On the 30th of November, he was lying at an chor, the Turkish squadron being also at anchor in the hay. The Russian fleet, taking advantage of the thick weather, ran in with a strong breeze from the E.S.E., and were not more than a mile and a quarter distant when first seen ; and in 15 minutes from that time an engagement took place, without giving any notice to him to remove his vessel or get away. He used every exertion to slip, his cable, which it was impossible to effect, before continued showers of shot and shell were striking the hull, mast, and rigging, directed from the Russian ships of war. The Howard, with the whole of the Turkish squadron, were in a short time involved in flames. The Howard was partially blown up abaft, when one of the Turkish frigates drifted foul of her. The remaining Turkish crew, about 100 hi number, jumped on board the Howard, and with axes, chisels, &c., cut and slipped her cable ; both the . vessels drove together, when, the fire having reached the powder magazine of the Turkish frigate, an explosion took place, and what was left of both vessels was blown to pieces. He then describes the loss of the Turkish fleet, &c., and finishes by saying that everything was destroyed ; he had only the things he stood upright in ; that, after reaching the shore, he was attacked by robbers who were plundering the town, and they stripped him of everything, leaving him only his shirt and drawers. He then made for the woods, and remained there in a large tree all night with the remainder of the crew, two of whom were missing (one the steward), having jumped overboard in a state of insanity produced by fright. On the following even ing he made for the town, and finding the Austrian Con sul, be placed himself and crew under his protection." RESIGNATION OF SIR R. H. INGLIS, BART., M.P. G ~{y 4,* ov V. Fr 9i v " ) +l ,O 4' 4 0 . 0 ° kSI OXFORD, SATURDAY. The Vice-Chancellor has this day received a commu- nication from Sir R. H. Inglis, Bart., M.P., announcing his resignation as one of the representatives of this University. Sir R. H. Inglis was elected in 1829, when he op' posed Sir R. Peel, who had resigned his seat in conse quence of his :views on the. Catholic question having undergone a change since his election for the Univer sity. On that occasion Sir R. Peel offered himself again as a candidate, but was defeated, Sir R. H. Inglis polling 755 votes, and Sir R. Peel 609. Sir R. H. Inglis was re-elected without opposition at the general election of 1832, 1835, 1837, and 1841. At the general election in 1847 , there was . a contest, when Sir R. H. Inglis polled 1,700 votes, Mr. Glad stone 997, and Mr. Round 824. Again, at the general election in 1852, the University was contested, when Sir R. Inglis polled 1,369 ♦otes, Mr. Gladstone 1,108, and Dr. Marsham 758. Thus it will be seen that Sir R. H. Inglis has sat for this University for 25 years—namely, from 1829 to 1854. His less in Parliament will be severely, felt by the University, especially in the present session, when Uni versity Reform is likely to engage the attention of the Legislature, for no member was more attached to the acaemic body, and none resisted with greater perseve rance any attempt to " weaken its influence," or " in vade its privileges." The right hon. baronet is in his 68th year, and in declining health, which he urges as his reason for withdrawing fronr the turmoil of political life, for which he feels himself unequal. The Marquis of Blandfon!, M.P. for 'Woodstock, is spoken' of as a candidate on the low church interest, and Mr. Roundell Palmer, M.P. for Plymouth, rind peputy High Steward of this University, on the high church side. The Marquis of Chandos and Lord Mallon are also named as probable candidates. The high church party now in Oxford, held a meeting this evening, in Oriel College, Common Room, to con sider what steps should be taken under the present cir cumstances, but the result of that meeting has not yet been announced. Late in the evening the Vice-Chancellor issued a notice that a convocation wo uld he held on Monday the 16th, at two o'clock, when a letter addressed to him by Sir Robt. Harry Inglis , Bart., one of the rep resentat i ves of this University, would be read to the house. It is anticipated that the high and low church party will have so matured their arrangements as to be able to announce their respective candidates in the course of Monday. 1 NA 151 822 1.872 1,663 1.427 333 5,906 5,142 4,348 5,678 227 5,370 6,685 281 7,027 1,036 8,095 8,956 305 6,095 • 602 0,952 1,866 .529 2,577 4,972 2,662 886 1,229 644 4,709 14.269 3,219 1,121 1,900 803 691 479 290 24,249 877 7,140 191 1,069 24,196 26,020 14,255 7,333 19,495 3,102 4,007 30 30 25 55 424 126% 126% 53 53% L oz. 17 9 O 0 O 0 O 0 O 0 Vllen ue in (gland. ived cedaily .16 edaily 16 16 23 1 12 16 !rtat 12 1G 16 ill t)3 x via the ber, Bor- ;bus liter , by )or lar- igh- J]sk, late i
