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 atitolutely necessary thatall mon 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 may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of rhysical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. - The.author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive • practice in +he treatment of these delicate complaints, which have . unfortunately teen too generally confided. to the care of ignorant empiries, who inflict great injury on those who are ind uce d t o place ' faith in their pretensions.

To the reduced rate of 60. a French transit rate of sd. per quarter ounce must be added in the case of al `letters for the above-mentioned colonies, which may be specially addresied to be sent via Marseilles, making the total charge upon such letters — When under a quarter of en ounce in weight Os. lid. When weighing.l quarter of an ounce and under half an ounce When weighing half an ounce and under three quarters of an ounce and so on. The correspondence of Western Australia is forwarded as a rule by private ship. Letters for that colony spe cially addressed . to be transmitted "via Singapore," will continuo liable to the existing rate of ls. the half ounce, or, if also'directed to be sent "via Marseilles," to the existing rate of is. 10d. the quarter ounce ; but letters for Western Australia, addressed to go by the direct Australian packet, will be sent in the mail for Mel bourne, and will be liable only to the reduced rate of 6d. In all cases the postage must be prepaid. It must be understood that the foregoing reduction of postage applies only to letters put into the post on or after the bit'of next month, and that all letters which are put into the post before that date will be charged with the existing rate of postage. • PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS.—On and from the same date, the rates of postage now chargeable upon packets containing printed votes and proceedings of the Imperial Parliament, sent through the post to New South Wales, will be repealed, and all such packets will be forwarded only by the direct packets, and will be subject to the rates of postage which are levied on printed books sent to that colony, viz. --- For a Packet of Parliamentary Proceedings, not exceeding— Half a pound in weight Os. 6d. Half a pound and not exceeding one pound ls. Od. One pound and not exceeding two pounds 2s. Od. Two pounds and not exceeding three pounds 3s. Od., beyond which weight no packet can be sent at a reduced rate of postage. The following conditions, however, must be observed : Ist. Every such packet must be sent without a cover, • or in a cover open at the ends or sides. 2d. It must contain a single publication only, the seve ral sheets-or parts thereof, where there are more than one, being bound or sewed together. 3d. It must not exceed tw o feet in length, breadth,. width, or depth. 4th. It must have have no writing or marks upon the cover, er its contents, except the name and address of the person to whom it may be sent. sth.

To prevent any obstacles to the regular transmission of letters, any officer of the Post-office may delay the transmission of any such packet of printed votes and proceedings for a time not exceeding 24 hours, from the time at which the same would otherwise have been for warded by him. THE REGISTRATIONS. CITY OF LONDON. Mr. Thomas Young M‘Christie, the barrister, yes terday resumed the revision of the lists of voters for the city of London, in the Court of Queen's Bench, ,Guildhall. ' In the list for Lasirence Pountney-lane, there were three notices of claims and five objections sent in to the overseers, but it appeared that only one of the claims, and none of the objections had been published. Upon the list being revised, the published claim was gone into and allowed, but upon the application of Mr. Sidney Smith and Mr. Ledger, to substantiate the two remaining claims and objections, The Revising Barrister expressed a doubt whether he could entertain them, in consequence of their non-pub lication by the overseers. Mr. Sidney Smith and Mr. Ledger contended that this non-publication could not deprive parties of those rights conferred upon them by act of Parliament. Wherever a list of voters was not published, a remedy was provided by the 27th section of the Reform Act, of making the existing register the list, thereby saving the rights of the electors. The 26th section also provided against imperfect publication, by enabling the revising barrister to revise and adjudicate a list published for any portion of the time required, whilst the 38th section, as applicable to claimants, required the barrister to call upon the parties to prove their qualification by proof of the due service of the notice required to be given. If the reverse of that were the law, the overseers might re strict the rights of claimants or objectors as the case might be. The Revising Barrister took the same view of the question, and allowed the remaining claims arid ob jections. In the list for the parish of St. Peter-le-Poor, in the ward of Broid-street, Mr. John Sim, of Coombe-hill, claimed to have his name inserted as owner and occupier of a house, No. 39, Old Broad-street, which had been omitted by the overseers. Mr. Sidney Smith, in support of the claim, said that the Messrs. Sim were the owners and occupiers of the premises in question—that the premises were not onlyfit for business, but for a dwelling-house and fit for the reception of a family—that the servants employed were not ;merely housekeepers for the place of business, but were domestic servants, and administered to the wants of the partners, who had separate beds in the house, and that it was a proper occupation. He should quote the opinions of two gentlemen who were considered as autho rities upon this point, which he thought would esta blish his claim. Mr. Smith then read extracts from " Elliott and Rogers on Registration Cases," which ' stated that it was not necessary for a person to sleep continuously on the premises, so that there was an un broken right of doing so. In this case the claimant had a bed assigned exclusively to himself, in his own house, to which he , went every day for the purpose of trans acting his business, and having a room assigned to him where he could sleep, he (Mr. Smith) contended that it was as complete a residence as could be set up, but it was not necessary that he should sleep there every night. It was like the case of officers in the army, who were frequently travelling abroad for a long period, but they did not lose their qualification. The law did not so much require a man to sleep at a particular place, but the power of doing so to the exclusion of any body else. What was there in this case but an animus i•everdendi ? Where a man has a residence,, and a bed there, ho occupied it when he pleased. He had not occupied jt for six months, certainly, but still he had a continuous occupation. . A clerk from the establishment was called, who stated that the partners in the firm had beds in the house, in which they occasionally slept, but that the claimant, although he had a bed there, had not slept in it for the last sixteen months. The Revising Barrister considered that this was not a residence within the meaning of the act ; but if Mr. Smith wished to have a case upon it for the court above, he would grant it. Mr. Sidney Smith said most undoubtedly ho should, as there was but one case in the books bearing upon the point. Mr. Burton, the governor of Whitecross-street Pri son, claimed in respect of his occupation in the parish of St, Giles, Cripplegate. The Revising Barrister considered that Mr. Burton's residence was compulsory, and disallowed the claim. • LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SE THE WAR. NAVAL AND MILITARY-,INTELLIGENCE.

Mr. Thomas Baker, inspector of machinery" afibat, and and at present borne on the bpoks of the Britannia, 120,. flag-ship, for the purpose of inspecting the war steamer s in the Black Sea, has received a'letter of thanki from Vice. Admiral Dundas, for the very excellent manner in which, .with.the assistance of the engineers 'of the fleet,,he had altered the position of the starting-gear of all the war steamers in the• Black Sea fleet, to render that gear, so important to be protected from shot or sbbll, less liable to be injured in actual warfare. Mr. Baker has effected his object by placing the starting-gear under or near, the base of the engines, instead of being near the top level, or above the engines.' The Royal Albert, 121, is to,he taken round to Ports mouth, to be finally prepared fOr proceeding to the Black Sea, where that splendid screw steam-ship is' to serve as of.Vice-Admiral Dundas, commander'-in=chief on the Mediterranean and Black Sea station, and the crew of the Britannia will be turned over to her on her arrival there. ' Late as the period of the season is for operations, in the Baltic ik is probable the country will shortly have interest ing intelligence from Vice-Admiral Sir , Charles Napier, commander-in-chief on that station, as despatches of a very impOrtant nature were forwarded to him on Saturday last. The brass guns captured from the Russians. have been placed in the iron,stores in the Royal Aisenal, WoOlwich. SHEERNESS, SEPT. 25. , . . The Miranda arrived here on Saturday last, and moored at 2.30 p.m., having had three months of unremitting work within the arctic circle in the White Sea. This ship, dur ing the 80 days she was in .the White Sea, anchored 48 times, and whilst under way and at anchor, has boarded 375 ships and vessels, showing the immense trade that Will be lost to Russia from her folly, besides being obliged to sell all her ships at a ruinous loss in price. Only three.were captured, and these fell to the Miranda,, and are on their way home, loaded with flour, fish, and oil ; but the un kindest cut of all to the Czar wb.s the destruction of Kola, the capital of Russian Lapland, a plate conceived to be beyond the reach of ships. Kola is described by, the Rus sian Admiral Sutkcs in his journeys as the Celebrated capi- ,a 1 of Russian Lapland, which under Peter the Great be- came a fortified City, and which in 1809 was visited by the English, who sent in two_ gun-boats to &Amy two vessels, but who made no direct attack upon the town. Captain Lyons has visited it in 1854, made a direct attack upon the town, and expunged it from the list of capitals. He had thirty miles of a difficult. river to navigate, five mile's of which are laid down in the chart as unnavigable, and which in some places is so narrow as.scarcely to admit of the ship swinging, with a current running seven knots an hour. • The uncertain knowledge of the strength of the enemy offered no check to his deterthination to place his ship alongside the battery. Success attended his daring. The I:L=4l9:lay within point blank range of the battery. The governor of the city would not come to terms. Their guns were manned, and every tower and building loop- ... . holed and filled with men. But we could,stand their shot, and shell, and red-hot shot within musket range. In less than an hour their guns wrire dismounted, their,bat teries in ruins, and their city in flames. One tower of the fortified cathedral alone now stands to mark the spot where Kola once had been. The proceedings of the Miranda, a given by ono of her blue jackets, may be found interesting to many : " Miranda left Sheerness, the 3d of May, under sealed orders, and anchored at Spithead on the Ch at six p.m., left a l e futlnssdt Spithead, t; Spithead on the 6th at one p.m.; on that day chased seve ral vessels, and p a r od o n coe t vic tualled to Spithead againdh(ll9oa again ha thei in prt June a h t. ; e lle hh o ora : no v nup n c ath. s hhno o er. the t n e,2hiriteai tn Ghi 2lst nfuolle rlllftL erwicke at rLifle at ear armt Lerwick s o opfllhor a.m., olicrebaeto: u rabe N y v col, weighed anchored northrgnhical ehancolvdri scaledhoan d :th a e o n r c d l h e 7 o r t r s h e ; d oen a tdu r ighcatehth‘ worked Bth and tr2o4k: eetohdnf through the Sound on the 10th of June, steamed through Rolffso Sound for sea; on the 19th of Juno chased and captured the Russian schooner which i'was after re leased ; on the 22d stood in for anchorage under Cross Island, left Cross Island on the 24th; on the 26th anchored (with a strong current running towards Archangel) off the mouth of the river Dwin ; at ten p.m., in Archangel Bay. We were employed in boats, boarding several vessels. On the sth of July we weighed, and proceeded for the Murman channel of. Dwina River, leading towards Archangel Bay.. On the 9th, anchored near Tarim, ; got under way, and proceeded for Anchorage at Cross Island. On the 18th rounded the Island of Solovetskoi. When about a thou• sand yards distant from the shore, our first lieutenant ob served a number of soldiers, with several field-pieces, in the woods. His glass and eye are first rate. A gun was fired to dislodge them, which they quickly returned with shot, grape, and canister—a sharp shower—lots of them struck the ship. We kept up a sharp fire from the star. board broadside guns. The enemy retired into the bush. wood in the rear. We then anchored off Solovetskoi Mo nastery at about midnight. On the next morning, the 19th, saw the soldiers employed throwing up temporary bat teries. Our ship, with the Brisk in company, hoistej a flag of truce, and fired a blank gun. The Brisk sen t, a boat•on shore with a flag of truce. The Russians sent a b o a t off to meet the flag of truce. 'The boat then returned on shore. At 8.20 weighed anchor, hauled down flag of truce, and opened fire on enemy's battery with long gun, firing shot and shell, which was pretty smartly returned by the bat tery, and also from two towers of the monastery, and mus ketry from the shore. The Brisk also opened fire soon after. About 9.20 a round shot from the battery killed King Marshall, an ordinary seaman and man of colour, fortherly a krooman from Sierra Leone—a very good darky he was. Another shot wounded Stephen Hall, fracturing his right arm close to the shoulder. In abent ten minutes we had him down on the orlop deck, when our doctor, John A. Corbett, put him under the influence of chloro form, and took his arm oft close up to the shoulder. Hall never moved. It was certainly very quickly done, and in proof that our doctor made a good job of it, in eighteen days he went to work, such as ho could do, single-handed. " We then opened fire from 121 b howitzers, and also from the tops and gangways, to dislodge the enemy from their cover of trees and bushes. At 11.20 the enemy were seen deserting their batteries. They shortly again returned to their guns, and were again driven away by the precision of our firing.. We then commenced shelling thamonastery from our pivot gun, at the same time keeping up a heavy fire from our broadside guns, also with small arms men on battery and cover. We then proceeded easily, steaming up the inner passage to out-flank the battery, and also to close in monastery. We then commenced firing red-hot shot on the monastery. We silenced the fire of the enemy at about 6 p.m. on the evening of the 19th. On the 31st we landed at Shayley Island, and destroyed all the public buildings by fire, together with nine guns found on shore. " We coaled on the `29th of July, near Cross Island. On the 22d of August our master, Mr. G. Williams, succeeded with the boats to buoy a passage up to Kola. It is a queer river, as if nature had intended everybody coming there to be deceived in the passage. On both sides the river, for about a mile and a half, the deepest soundings are the side channels. You then suddenly come to a regular bank, and we were obliged to back out again; but the master, after very particularly sounding the midship channel, found water up, and at 6.30 a.m. we anchored off Kola in five fathoms water. We shortly after observed a flag of truce coming off from the fort, and hoisted a flag of truce in return. Our third lieutenant, Mr. C. W. Buckle, went away in the gig to meet the flag of truce with a letter, in which, we understood from the quarter-deck officers, an immediate surrender (rather sharp practice, but British blood had stained our decks) was demanded of the fort, garrison, and Government property. We could see the different forts with the men at their guns. We were kept at quarters during that night. Our gallant commander gave orders to splice the main brace with a good glass of the Queen's own at midnight. We barricaded the tops with hammocks for our riflemen. " No answer being returned in the morning, we hauled down the flag of truce and opened fire with grape and can ister, to dislodge musketry from the batteries and stockades. Our ship was got up within 250 yards of the battery. Our first lieutenant, John F. C. Mackenzie, and Mr. Charles W. Nanthorp, mate, accompanied us in command of the afore party, On 144 1 ;1 1 4s ouT good M 11 411 Aut fad 'into. - nant headed our party of blue jackets and marines, .and trotted up sword in hand to dislodge the enemy from; the ruins of the batteries and to, seize their gnus. Immediately upon our pulling in shore, the enemy opened a sharp, fire upon us from the different. parts of the towers and; the monastery: Our ship continued to,fire to cover us. It was about 2.30 when we landed,. headed.by Lieut. Mackenzie, who was the first into the battery, which we . foUnd completely destroyed by the ship's fire. The enemy were 'going off beyond double quick time, a% if the real old Nick was after them. We took Ori board one of the battery guns which had been broken by a shot from ,our ship ; all the other guns. were completely buried in the ruins. All the Government stOrts.were destroyed. Jolly Jock, as we dub our first lieutenant, did honour to his :little clan of the Miranda. During our fighting the enemy had been busily. employed .taking up all the buoys our master, Mr. Williams, had,laid down for coming up :the river, and he had all his work to go over again, to ,buoy the channel for our going down again. By 7.30 a.m. on the 24th, we had destroyed the.whole of the town. Ib -was a tremendous scene of destruction ; the buildings, stores, and monastery all in flames, and each bell, as their stupendowi beams burnt through, fell to the bottoniof the tower, tolling its lastlnell...

APPALLING _ACCIDENT AT A GRINDING WHEEL AT. SHEFFIELD. SHEFFIELD, SATURDAY AFTERNOON.---Abollt 2 o'clock this afternoon, a portion of an extensive grindine , wheel, known by the name of the " tower wheel," suddenly fell in and buried eight of the workmen in the - debris. The tower wheel is situate in Blonk-street, Wicker, and is a most conspicuous object to the visitor to Sheffield, being seen from the railway termini' to rise with lofty castel lated towers above the surrounding buildings. That portion of the building which has fallen was used by the file and table-blade grinders, and - was situate at the rear of the most extensive portion of the building. The ground floor,contained the boilers, and the floors of the upper storey were formed of brick arches, of which the outer wall formed' one abutment, and the inner wall rested on cast-iron pillars. The building was girt toge ther by iron rods running from front to back of the build ing, and underneath the arches or floor of the second storey. It is conjectured that the vibration 'of the ma chinery constantly at work had loosened these rods from their fastenings, and so deprived the outer wall of the support necessary to preserve it. However that may be, the outer wall about two o'clock suddenly fell out, letting down the arches, and the whole of the rooms above also fell with a tremendous crash, burying eight men, who at the time were at work in the rooms, in the ruins. Being Saturday afternoon, many of the hands were absent who otherwise would have been at work. The crash of the falling buildings alarmed the whole neighbourhood, and speedily drew to the spot an immense crowd of persons. A large force of workmen were immediately set to work to search the ruins for the unfortunate men who were entombed, and in the course of half an hour the whole of them were extricated and removed to the infirmary. They were George Tingle, Park, 30, table blade-grinder, seriously injured in various parts of his body ; John Mitchell, 16, table blade-grinder, Park, large wound on the front of the leg ; William Ileadley,•l6, fork-grinder, Andrew-street, Wicker, compound fracture of the left leg, and injuries on the face ; John Ibbotson; 18, ivory cutter, Fir.view, fractured leg ; Albert Berry, 13, file grinder, New-street, cuts on the head andsleg, and frac tured foot ; Charles Hukin, file-grinder, Sergeant's-row; John Ridge, fork-grinder, Wicker ; and a young man named Ibbotson, were all bruised, but escaped without fractured limbs. One young lad, when the place was falling, clung to a window sill, and escaped without a scratch. A portion of the outer wall fell upon a horse, i juring it so much as to render its destruction necessary. The damage done to the building is variously' estimated at from 1,0001. to 3,0001. The extent of the calamity has been greatly exa.werated, the reports being that 19 men were killed, aid. '3O buried in'the ruins. No life has been sacrificed:, s Eighe men and lads have been in jured, some of therp yery,stri,ou§ly; REDUCTION OF I THg DITTIES ON WINE AND SPIRITS. ( - The following , article of the Debafs on the de cree reducing - -the import duties on foreign wines and spirits will bee - read with interest : " The news which we receive frem the most ecuthern of the wine-producing departments, where the vintage hes commenced show to what extent the recent de cree allowing foreign wines to be imported into France, until otherwise ordered, was called for. The yield of wine presents itself under a sad aspect. Providence who has shown us the unexampled mercy of giving us a good corn crop, after a season which seemed but little pro pitious, has not accorded to us the same favour in wine. Assuredly, if men had the choice, they would without hesitation prefer a good corn harvest. The corn harvest is worth in an average year two milliards ; but the wine crop is far from attaining that enormous sum ; besides, though the populations could, strictly speaking, do without wine, they would be reduced to the most frightful misery if they had no bread. It cannot be denied, however, that the vintage is also of great im portance. In an average year it amounts to several hundred millions, and if wine be not absolutely indis pensable to the subsistence of the populations it is extremely useful. In the southern departments in par ticular, where wine is produced and sold at a very low price, it occupies a great place in the food of the people. In the region bathed by the Mediterra nean, wine, which is there remarkable for its qua lity, is sold by retail, in ordinary times, at from 10 to 15 centimes the quart ; that is to say, that in these . _ _ parts it is within reach of all purses ; the meanest la bourer, in fact, can take it at all his meals, and it is from it that he derives great part of his strength. At present in those parts, a wine inferior to the ordinary quality costs more than treble, namely, from 40 to 60 centimes the quart. At that price, it is an article which ceases to be within reach of the poorer classes. Hence it causes great perturbation in the customary regimen of the populations. Under those circumstances, the Government, justly anxious to maintain, so far as depends on it, food at a cheap rate, could not have done better than to remove the barrier which pre vented the free admission of ordinary wines from abroad. We will frankly state that our opinion is that the taking off of the customs duties on ordinary wines cannot be of short duration, because the cause which, led to this measure seems unfortunately not likely to be temporary. The malady in the grapes, which has made wine so dear, has not yet reached its period of decline, especially in the departments in which the production is greatest. Every year it extends its ra vages. We believe, indeed, that for the future the yield of wine will be less bad than that which is being prepared at this moment—as in this year the vines have not only had to suffer from the oidium, but the season has been so bad that, even without the oidium, the yield would have been a failure. But it is not less true that the oidium is spreading and becoming generalised. The science of our learned Academies and the industrious activity of our farmers will triumph over this pest—indeed, they are already in the way of discovering a curing process. But in order that the vines may be completely preserved and recover all their fecundity time is required. This opinion is so accredited amongst a certain number of farmers, that in some localities they have already begun to pull up the vines with the intention of substituting other crops for them. This is the case for example in the canton of Lunel, one of the corners of the world in which the vines gave the greatest yield, but also one in which they have most suffered. Before the oidium appeared, as much as 300 hectolitres the hectare were obtained ; and now this marvellous pro duction has fallen to nothing. Even, however, should the oidium be very shortly destroyed, which is a thing we wish for with all our heart, that would not be a reason for repealing the decree which admits the free import of foreign ordinary wines. It is fitting that this decree should be definitive for many reasons. It was a chimerical idea in 1816 to impose heavy duties on foreign wines, in order to protect our production. That produc. tion protects itself unaided. We may say of the ordinary wines of France, as well as of her finer sorts, that they are unequalled. They are so not only by the quality, the flavour, the just proportion of spirit they contain, but also by the abundance of their production, and the lowness of their price. This is especially true of the wines in the departments near the Mediterranean. The departmenl, of the ll4rault, which is the most remarkhble of all in this respect, generally produces 4,000,000 hect o lit res. Th at is the tenth of they production of France. The wholesale price for wire a year old is, under ordinary circumstances, 7fr. the hec tolitre, or 7c. the litre ; and if kept for an additional year, the wine is much more agreeable and healthy than the wines charged at Paris, in restaurants 1 fr. 50c. or generally 2fr. Even the wi ne ca ll e d St. George is ' sold in the country at 7 c . th e litre, or thereabouts. Now it is absolutely impossible to import into Franceat that rate wine which i s wort h anytbin r* at all, on a ccount of the expense of conveyance, of which the imp or t er d esires to make. Such a fact su ffices commissions, and of the p rofit to prove that the pretended protection which it was thought right t o accord to ordinary wines , by n imposing customs duties on f ore i gn w i nes, is a fiction.

WESTMINSTER, The Revising Barrister, Mr. J. F. Macqueen, sat yesterday in the Lords Justices' Court, Westminster hall, to revise the list cf voters for the city of West minster. 280 objections and 21 claims have been served on the part of the Reformers, who were represented by Mr. G. Huggett. There were five claims put forward on behalf of persons whose politics were not known. The list of St. Anne's parish was the first revised. There was one claim which was admitted, and seven ob jections, one of which was withdrawn, and the remainder were allowed. In St. George's, Hanover-square, there were nine claims, of which seven, including one Tory claim, were allowed. There were 58 objections, of which 51 were sustained. In the remaining cases the names were re tained on the list. Amongst the names struck out was that of William Kinder, whose right to vote out of the house 9, Gros venor-street, was objected to on the ground that the house is let to a tenant by whom it is occupied, and that Mr. Kinder is merely in occupation of premises the rear. To the list of St. Mary's, Strand, there were 12 ob jections, of which 10 were allowed, 1 withd rawn , an d 1 allowedto stand over. There was -1 claim, which was admitted.

ROYAL ENGINEERS. —We have authority for stating there is no truth in the statement published on Friday, " That it has been decided that a grand night attack will take place at Chatham on the night of Wednesday, the 27th inst., under the direction of Captain M'Kerlio." Lieutenant -Colonel Parker, Royal Marines, with other officers forming a district court-martial, assembled at Chat ham on Friday and Saturday, for the trial of the following prisoners :—Private Martin Haley, 24th, was found guiltMy of desertion ; Private James Connors, 99th ; Private ark 12th Foot ; and Private 37th, was tried and found guilty, and Private J. Britain, DCoaavtieds,m9s9ctghn;irPer,i2v7attheW, werem .Wseapdaerately tried for desertion for deserting'his regiment in 1846, when it was stationed at Monmouthshire. He wasbrou g ht in a prisoner to Chat ham under escort, when he confessed to Colour-Sergeant Woods, of the same corps , t hat he was a deserter ; the prisoner surrendered himself to the civil power. The issua of the above trials wil l n ot be known.until the proceedings are confirmed at the Horse Guards. THE WAR IN THE EAST.—Recruiting is most actively going forward on account of the following regiments doing active foreign duty, viz., the Ist battalion of the let Royals, the 4 th , 13th, 20th, .28th, 29th, 30th, 38th, 41st, ' 5 4 5 7th the Rifle Brigade, and Royal 88th, 49th, 50th, 57th, 63d, 79th 42d , 44th, th; Artillery. Recruiting is also going on for the followi n g Highlanders, 93d9sth not on war duty-18th, 51st, 4 5 —th, 56th, 66th, 724, 80th, 82d, 90th, and 94th. For the cavalry recruiting is also going on very actively. Tha ~cots Greys, though in the East, have no recruiting party in London, as in the case of other regiments. The complement for the sth, or Princess Charlotte of Wales' Dragoons, which regiment was almost cut off to a man by the choler a, while encamped in th e East, will be made up as soon as possible. At present the corps is virtually disbanded,• the survivors having been in- . corporated with the 4th Royil Irish Dragoon Guards, now commanded by Colonel Hodge. The purchase of troop and artillery horses is actively going on. The 94th Regiment, at Chatham , is b • or ganised as being quickly as possible since the return of the right wing, in expectation of soon getting the route for Canterbury. Tho depot of the 42d Regiment of Highlanders has been removed from Winchester, where they could not obtain recruits, to Stirling Castle, where they will no doubt ob tain many fine Highland lads from the glens in Perth and Stirling shires. The depot of the 93d Highland Aegiment has been sent from the Isle of Wight to Dundee, for the same reason. The Government has chartered the steam-ship Sarah Sands to convey the second battalion of the 71st Highland Light Infantry from. Quebec to England, and she was to leave Quebec, on Friday last. The depot of the 2d bat talion is at' present stationed at Chatham. a Orders have been receitted at . Quebec for the following, officers of the Rayal Engineers to proceed to England im mediately :—Lieut.-Colonel Henry.P. Wulff, Captain Hon. H. F. Keane, at presbnt stationed at Montreal ; and Lieutenant A. R. Vyvan Crease, at Quebec ; Lieutenant B. A. Wilkinson, at present stationed at Toronto . ; and Lieut. George ]tanken, at present stationed at Quebec. Two companies of the Royal Artillery have been ordeied home from the West Indies, without any other companies being seat out to relieve, and they are now on their way in one of the West India Mail steam-packets, and will land at Southampton. The companies are Captain J. W. Domvile's company, 10th battalion, stationed at Barba- . does since October, 1851, and Captain Thomas Knoi's company, 9th battalion, stationed at Barbadoes since Sep. tember, 1852. LIMERICK, SEPT. 23.—Limerisk has at length been to tally ungarrisoned. For the first time since the siege, the city of the violated treaty is left in the keeping of a hand ful of raw recruits. The 57th depot has gone off to Birr, and the 40th depot has been removed up to the New Bar racks, to replace the "Die Hards." Tho Castle Barracks, in which the 40th was stationed, has, since their removal, been closed, and there are at present a sergeant, a corporal and two or three privates keeping possession of H.—Lime rick Chronicle. POISONOUS PLANTS.—A case of growing poisonous plants was tried at the police court on Monday. Mr. Bailey, surgeon, appeared to make a complaint against William Dellor, chicory dealer. Dellor has a field in his occupation, near the Barnwell gravel pits, in which he is growing three different sorts of poisonous herbs, and the field is not protected by fencing ; the consequence is, that children frisk about the dangerous berries, and three have nearly been sacrificed by eating them. The mayor requested Superintendent Jaggard to call on Dellor and expostulate with him on the impropriety of growing his " villanous stuff " in the neighbourhood of a populous place, and even without a proper safeguard.—Cambridge Pm. i t C~ TIIE RUSSIAN PRISONERS IR PRANCE. - --- , The Courrier de l'Eure publishes the following letter from the Isle d'Aix, giving details relative to the Russian prisoners in France. It is dated the 17th : . , , - "I arrived here yesterday, being destined with others to reinforce 'the garrison to guard the Russian pri soners. This detachment consists of 29 offiders; 969 pri vates, and :16 women, each of the:latter with two or three young children. There areatnengst:the prisoners many Finlanders, two or three line soldiers of the Im perial Guard, and some Cossacks of the Don and the Dniester. The soldiers of the Imperial . Guard form a striking contrast with the other Russian soldiers, who are all of middle height, with - dark skins, - and are exceedingly ugly. They .appear robust and accustomed to fatigue ;' several have :sore eyes ;'lthey are inbre clean in their persons than is generally supposed ; they':wear mouStaches, like bur soldiers, and some have them turned up with a certain coquetry. 'Several of fhe 'officers speak good French, and have excellent manners. By order of Marshal Baraviav d'Hilliers, they'sre allowed to wear their swords. Their uniform is a blue frock, with red collar and wrists, and a small blue cap with red edging ; their epaulettes are silver, and vary accord. ine to the rank of the wearer. I have conversed with several of the officers, and, in particular, with en old captain of French origin, who is my neigh Lour, and all agree in speaking iliglily of the ardour and tnalertußosmitperoofr ouri sever e troi)s I,:• ' ; ' :n i q l . ° f n o 'a r r': :a n ti ci si ;; a s ci o ImlauChe Miseryby town, his and treated with obstinacy.

Last evening some of them indulged so much that the commandant has been obliged to take measures to prevent a recurrence of the past. The women are very plain, but clean, although very simply dressed. All wear a silk handkerchief wound round the head. One of them excites interest from having lost her husband during the passage, and being now left alone with her three children ; .and another from being, by mistake, separated from her husband, who has been taken to England. An hospital has been established to receive such prisoners as may be ill, and a military surgeon and attendants are attached to it. Now that the first establishment of the prisoners is terminated I imagine that our service will be light. The isle of Aix is rather a stupid place, having about 80 houses. I intend turning my time to account by con versing with the Russians, and studying them in a mili , tary point of view. • I have already had some long con versations with'the colonel of engineers, who was charged with the works of defence at Bomarsund, and he ac knowledges that what completely embarrassed him was the precision w,ith which the Chasseurs of Vincennes hit the artillerymen in the embrasures of the fortifications. He is enthusiastic, also, about the long range of their rifles, and about the firing of the cannon on board the vessels." IRELAND. THE LATE RAILWAY OUTRAGE. A public meeting of the inhabitants of Derry was held pursuant to requisition, on Friday, the Mayor in the chair, to take steps towards the discovery of the perpe trators of the late diabolical outrage, arid to give expres sion to the general feeling of horror at that atrocious attempt on human life. Among the principal speakers were— Sir Robert Ferguson, M.P., Sir Robert Bateson, Major Scott, the Rev. James Crawford, the Rev. Robert Higginbotham, &c. The resolutions were as follows "That this meeting of the inhabitants of the city and vicinity of Derry express their indignant horror at the late atrocious attempt to destroy, on the railway between this city and Enniskillen, the lives of the many hundred per sons, orderly and respectable visitors from the latter town to our city, on the 15th of September, 1854. " That we desire, on our part, and on the part of others, to return thanks, with all reverence, to Almighty God for His special and providential ctrre over the lives of so many unsuspecting persons, appointed as sheep for the slaughter. " That we consider it of tho utmostimportance that a most liberal subscription should be commenced as a reward for the purpose of bringing the criminals to justice, and we beg to remind the public that in-cases of great atrocity these means were found ultimately successful. " That a committee, consisting of the movers and se conders of the resolutions, together with Messrs. J. Cors caden, J. W. Gregg, R. 111`Vic':n, J. Keys, J. D. Cherry, J. Colhoun, J. Cairns, with power to add to their num ber, be appointed to collect subscriptions for the relief of the sufferers—five to be a quorum. The Mayor treasurer, J. Colhoun, convener and secretary." Before the close of the proc?edings, which met with toume interruption from a. gentleman named Mahon, who insisted that the demonstration of Friday week was a party demonstration, Dr. Henry Stacy Skipton said, he had just received a letter from a respedtable Roman Catholic, 1.12:ch, with the chairman's permission, he would read to the meeting. Ile fully reciprocated the sentiments it contained. It was as follows : _ _ . " Sir,—Exe rating, as I do with all my heart, the late sanguinary and demoniacal attempt to destroy the lives of o many of our fellow-beings, and approving cordially the object of the meeting to be held to-day—namely, to offer a reward for the discovery of the miscreant perpetrators of this horrid deed of blood—have the kindness to put down my name for whatever amount you may think right. " Yours, &c., W. M`LOUGHLIN, M.D. " Mr. H. S. Skipton, M.D." Subscriptions to a large amount have been entered into for the discovery of the criminals. The railway company have offered 5001. as their share towards the general fund. The inquest on the remains of the engine -driver who lost his life by the upsetting of the engines on the excur sion train from Londonderry to Enniskillen, has been adjourned until the 11th of October. The county of Tyrone, as well as Londonderry. is about to assemble, to consider the steps proper to be adopted for the dis covery of the persons concerned in this atrocious outrage. The Marquis of Abercora and Lord Claude Hamilton, M.P., have signed the requisition in the former county. The Government have offered a reward of 2001. • SUSPECTED MURDER. The Cork Reporter has the following account of a fright ful tragedy which has taken place near Cork, and which still continues involved in mystery : About 1 o'clock yesterday (Friday) the neighbour hood of the Mardyke was thrown into great excitement by the announcement that one of the dyke watchmen, named Michael Keating, bad been discovered in the garden back of the lodge, at the eastern end of the Dyke, with his throat cut. The deceased had been employed for some time by the corporation as day watchman on the Dyke, and while in that position had earned for himself the goodwill, both of the residents of the Dyke and of the citizens who frequented it, by the uniform steadiness of his conduct and the civility of this behaviour. In addition to his pay as watch man, Gs. a week, he received a pension of ls. 6d. a day, having been formerly in the 61st regiment, in which two sons of his are at present, so that he would have been enabled to live comfortably and happily, but for the bad conduct of his wife. It appears that she is a woman of very intemperate habits, and has often, to satisfy her craving for drink, taken and pledged her husband's clothes and furniture. She was also a woman of very violent temper, so much so that one o f th e i r sons, a lad only about 14 years of age, had left deem some time ago. The deceased was often obliged to bring her before the magistrates, to whom she mile solemn promises of reform, but always immediately 're lapsed again. The deceased was not seen sirme Thursday morning, until 10 o'clock yesterday, when the female servant of a house near the lodge, went into the place where he was found, for the purpose of spreading some clothes on a hedge, to dry. While doing so, she happened to east her eye near the spot, and saw the deceased, who was partly concealed by some bushes. She instantly raised an alarm, and in a few minutes a large number of persons had collected near the place. The deceased, when found, was lying on his back among some bushes, his hands were raised so as partly to cover his face, and were tiohtly clenched, and . stained with blood and g rave l . H is head was nearly severed from his body, th e j ugu l ar vein being entirely divided* and the gash ext en di ng almost to the nape of the neck. About half a yard from where be lay was a large pool of bl oo d , apparently that which had flowed from hi s th roat, as if he had been afterwards moved. At first it was supposed that the unfortu nate man had destroyed his own life, but on Con stable Car e y' s arrival on the spot he foun d a razor, which bore e very appearance of having been the weapon used in comm i tt i ng t h e dreadful deed, wrapped in a piece of newspaper by his side,. that circumstan ce a t once i n duced a suspiciontebad met his de a th b y other hands, as iitwd sufficient strengthas counted almost impossible that he could have reta ined inflicting so remaining part of fearful a wound on his un p d e i s n o t n cie lodge.
