Sts,—The opposition given the other night in the House of Commons by Lord Grosvenor to the Medical Bill was worthy of that nobleman, who said, that if doctors wanted to pass laws to prescribe who should prescribe in case of sickness, he should give such a mea sure his strongest opposition. 'this is just the sort of opposition raised by Elygeists, and all those in favour of the medical liberty of the subject. Doctors may pass what laws they i lease as regards their own profession, but they should not be allowed to obtain arbi trary enactments by which the medical liberty of the su , ject can be in anywise affect3d For further arguments is support of this im portant question the public is referred to Mr. John Fraser's lecture on the medical liberty of the subject, which may be obtained gratis from all Hygeian agents. We are, sir, your obedient servants, THE MEMBER' , OF THE BRITISH COLLEGE OF HEALTH, New-road, London. February 25, 1854. P S.—lt is impossible to real the accounts of the medical meetines which are now held without coining to the conclusion that the real thing which the doctors desire is to circumscribe the medical liberty of the subject, however they may affect the contrary in the House of Commons. Once let the wedge he driven and it is impossible to say where it will stop. NEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH. MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52, FLEET-STREET, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW DESCRIPTION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth, all not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer ; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the ex traction of roots, or any painful operation, and will supp ;ft and pre- Serve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mas tication. 52, FLEET-STREET.—At home from Ten till Five. AVESEND STAR VI PACKETS. Diu other Packets call at the Grays, Greenhithe, and Purfleet Piers.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con . sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition , a nd who ar e conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness,and privileges to which ev er y h uman b e i ng i s entitled. The .Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, and has long directed attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is free. Their treatment has unfortunately been too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant em pirks, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in their preten ' stem The serious consinuences resulting from such mal-practice may easily be avoided. it sufferers from these maladies were to ascer Utz if their medical adviser be a member of the London College o f Plrysleians Surgeons, or Apothecar ies' Hall, as any one p ossessin g either of these qualifications usually appends it to his name, and thus ' the legally qualified practitioner can at once be distinguished.

Teach Russians good manners—protect Turkey--reform the representation— extend the franchise —appeal to public op Mon and plain facts, stating the eleva , ine influence and sure protection afforded to all classes by the attire manufactured by E. MO -ES and SON—the benefits derived from purchasing at their establishments, the best means of retrenchment and economy which the wisdom of the Senate could recommend. Are large and liberal measures or small and antiquated plans of business best calculated to promote the welfare of the kingdoms? Penny postage has increased the revenue by an amazing inert ase of business. and E. Moses and SoN, by cheapening attire, have ren dered it at the same time more fashionable, inure comfortable, and more easily accessible to individuals and families. * * * First, to advance new measures suited to the progress of the times to bring out the talent, genius, and skill of all countries for the accom mo lation of the Ena,ll public, should be the object of such politi cians as would ri eto distinction. As E. Moses and SoN have al ways the earliest samples of new productions in every material and every style of dress for the coming seasons. this spring it is certain they will excel the magnificence of the last, from a surprising degree f success which has att‘ nded their enterprising efforts. To manage the colonies and to make them proflta , le has perplexed the talent of this honourable house. The satisfaction in Australia and all other parts of the world with the business of E.

CHEAP EDITION OF MADAME D'ARBLAY'S DIARY. — The first volume is just published of the New and Cheap Edition of Miss Burney's celebrated " Diary and Corres pondence." It is to be completed in seven monthly volumes, with portraits, &c., price only 3s. each, bound, and will doubtless have a very large sale. This book, in deed, is of universal interest and inestimable value as an authentic and permanent record of what everybody desires to know—namely, the personal characters, manners, habits of thinking, and modes of life of the great and famous of a recently-passed age. At an early period of her life, the celebrated author of " Evelina" adopted the resolution of keeping a regular " Diary" of her thoughts, feelings, and observations relative to everything and every body with whom she came in contact. She continued it for many years, including the time of her residence at the Court of Queen Charlotte, and the whole may be said to constitxte a work almost unequalled in literary and social value by anything else in the language. As a proof, it may be stated that the anecdotes, descriptions, personal traits and conversation of Dr. Johnson, as reported by Madame D'Arblay, with characteristic force and spirit, are fully equal in interest to Boswell's life of him ; and it is the same with regard to the other celebrated persons of the day, including besides the King, Queen, and Royal Family, and the whole courtly circle, Burke, Goldsmith, Sheridan, Garrick, Reynolds, Gibbon, Walpole, Warren Hastings, Lawrence, Mrs. Montague, Mrs. More, Mrs. Thrale, Sm. THE STEAMER GOLDEN AGE.—According to the last advices from the Cape of Good Hope, it appears that the American A us t ra li an steamer G o ld en Age reached that place after an unprece(ented passage, her running time having been 26 days and a half. She would be detained at the Cape some days, but was expected not to occupy more than 22 days between the Cape and Melbourne, in which case her passage to Australia will have been effected, as regards running time, in a little over 48 days. It will be remembered that the Post office authorities refused to pay this vessel any extra sum for and that a Cow days afterward they dLspa'.chud, with a bonne, of 1,0001., the sa;liog-ohip Matilda Wattenbach, which was ultimately driven dis- L masted into Lisbon.

Parnell, Esq. ams, Esq. LTOILS. (From the Times.) - • Preoccupied as the public tiind is with the pride, I pomp, and circumstance of w e r domestic politics, how ever important, have slipp almost entirely out of sight. At a most inopportunmoment, when nothing was further from the public:hind than boroughs and electoral districts, enfranchises tents, disfranchisements, „majorities and minorities, wheoiphysical force is alto gether in the ascendant, and (fie distribution of moral and intellectual forces has no enchantment for the public mind, Ministers, true to their promise, but not to party interests, introduced their Reform Bill. . It would be unjust to say that that measure was received with either disappointment or disapprobation ; on the con trary, it has met with all the support that the public mind has been able to spare time to give it, and those who love it least have been forced to confess that it is able, honest, and comprehensive. There lacked nothing to make the Reform. Bill of 1854 as great a suc cess in its way as the measure of 1831, except the absence of competing topics, and the undivided at tention of the public. But, unhappily, as we think, for the people of this country, these elements of suc cess have in this instance been wanting, While Lord John Russell was talking of Arundel and Harwich, people were thinking of Giurgevo and Kalafat, and the rights of minorities are swallowed up in the contemplation of the wrongs of Turkey. It would be ridiculous to contend that, with whatever calm approbation the measure may have been received, it has excited any sensible degree of popular enthusiasm, or roused those passions which carried r through the mea of 1832 on the shoulders of the people.i In 1831 people supported the Reform Bill as a means, and the only means, for attaining the end of good Government. In 1854 that end has been, in a great measure, attained, and the last session of Parliament is remarkable for having been the most laborioan l an4 the most useful that has ever been known in our s btials. people may ac quiesce in the - abstract justice of the Ministerial propo sitions ; but there wants that keen sense of injury and desire of redress which alone can stimulate great masses of men to take a lively interest in abstract political dis quisition. It is of no use considering now whether these might or might not have been foreseen and avoided. The bill has been introduced, and the result ought to surprise no one who has studied the public opinion of England, and is aware how impossible it is to concen trate that opinion on more than one subject at 'a time, and how useless to argue against impuls es w hi c h are as inscrutable and uncontrollable as the flux and refiux of the ocean. Neither will it, we should suppose, sur prise any one to learn that, in the present state of public feeling, and with the prospect of a motion to postpone the bill for the present session, Ministers should have determined to put off the second reading, at any rate, till after Easter. They hare been faithful to their engagement, and have laid on the table of the house a measure honest, well considered, and comprehensive, dealing with•our electoral system as a whole, carrying a searching and pervading analysis into every part, fearlessly correcting abuses without Aference to party, respecting the rights of all, and humoring the passions and selfishness of none. Such a measure must, from its universality and fairness, make many enemies, and, until it became the law of the land, materially weaken the Government by whom it is proposed. In the first place, there is the large number of members who view the measure by which the Government seeks to cut short the existence of the present Parliament as a direct attack upon a 'position which has cost them much trouble and expense to gain, and who are disposed to regard this and every other measure of the Government with no favourable eyes. Then there is the phalanx of county members, reasonably enough terrified at the threat of a real, instead of a sham representation, and of the wel come presence of a ten-pound constituency. Then there are the representatives of boroughs wholly or partially disfranchised, who believe themselves bound by honour to their constituents to resist a measure which, how ever beneficial to the public, encounters them in the shape of political annihilation. Then there are the metropolitan representatives, angry because Go vernment is so unreasonable as to think that Lam beth and Marylebone contribute at least their quota to the expenditure of public time without arming them with fresh means of annoyance ; and, last of all, comes the opposition which Government had least right to expect, and which the country will do well to take note of—the opposition of such reformers as Mr. Bright, who view reform exclusively from the Manches ter point of view, and, finding nothing which promi ses theta any very decided political triumph, convert the virtues of the measure into vices, and repudiate it be cause it does not subserve their selfishness or pander to their ambition. Rather than allow the minority of Manchester to be represented—rather than save them from hunting about in Worcestershire mad Staffordshire for exponents of their opinions --rather than admit .within the pale of the constitution persons who, how ever wealthy, numerous, and respectall4 have the mis fortune to differ from him; Mr. Bright rill give a new lease to nomination and corruption, will withhold from the 101. county householders their franchise ' and set all our hopes of reform on the uncert a i n ha zar d of futurity. In such a state of the public mind and pf the House of Commons, it would be sheer folly to press on a mea sure the fate of which every one must see to be already certain. The very fairness and comprehensiveness of the bill has united against it men who never united before, and drawn Tory and Radical into an ill-omened alliance. These men are eager and earnest, for they fight for what they believe, in their narrow and short-sighted view of expediency, to be the interests.of their cliques and parties. On the other hand are ranged those who have no party object to gain, but whose sole end has been the more faithful and honest representatiqn of the people. With the assistance of the people the contest cannot be doubt ful for a moment ; without it, no one acquainted with the constitution of the House of Commons can hesitate as to the certainty of defeat. It is one of the effects of the more popular character impressed on the House of Commons that public opinion is omnipotent within its walls, but the same constitution has also made the house unwilling to move in matters of great national concern without the expression of that public opinion. It is pos sible that the precedent of 1832 has been too literally followed, and that measures which, when combined is one bill, can only be carried by a burst of popular en thusiasm against the interested opposition they provoke, might, if embodied in several measures, have triumphed by force of reason and justice over divided opponents. But this has not been done. Reform has been intro duced in a shape in which nothing but popular enthu siasm could carry it, and that enthusiasm has not been roused. Between the present time and the period to which the measure is deferred the people 9f England will have the opportunity, if they have the inclination, to address their minds to the question, which now really rests with them. If they wish to rescue our representa tion from the scandal of nominated and corrupted boroughs, if they wish to deliver the counties from the degrading servitude in which they are held, if they wish to extend the franchise while they preserve the constitu tion, and show respect for labour without endangering property,*they have nothing to do but to intimate their will, and the House of Commons, now so indifferent, will hasten to execute it.

Last night, about half-past eight o'clock, an electric telegraph message was forwarded to the London fire engine stations, that an extensive fire had taken place near Messrs. Mare's steam-ship and engineering works at Blackwall, in the North Woolwich-road. The mo ment the news arrived, engines of the brigade from Wellclose-square, Schoolhouse-lane, Jeffrey-square, and Farringdon-street, started towards the spot, followed by that of the West of England office. It is to be re gretted that as the engines were proceeding along the Commercial-road, two unfortunate accidents occurred, and within a few yards of each other. One took place in thi% way. Mr. Jones, the engineer of the West of England engine, in order to ascertain the exact locality of the fire, made an attempt to get off the engine before it was fully stopped, and being unable to obtain his footing, he fell under the hinder most wheel, which passed completely ever his thigh. The horses dragging the heavy machine were stopped as soon as possible, when it was found that Jones was so much injured as to be unable to proceed any further. The Victoria Dock Company, in order to provide lodgings for a number of their workmen and their families, had erected a series of double and single cottages in the marshes adjoining the brick field, be tween Messrs. Mare's works and the North Woolwich road. Each building were formed of bricks, timber lined inside, and thatched roof, and consisted of from two to four rooms in each structure. Last night, it appears, a girl living in one of the cottages struck a lucifer match in order to light a candle, when, by some unforeseen accident, the window curtain became ignited, and before she had time to extinguish the fire it travelled to the roof, set the thatch in a blaze, and the wind blowing stifly at the time the flames were drifted to the cottages right and left of the one in which the misfortune commenced, so that in a space of•time comparatively brief the destructive element had seized upon six double cottages and four single ones. The scene at that time became quite dis tressing, as many of the poor occupiers had their chil dren sleeping in the humble habitations, and in order to rescue them the most strenuous exertions were required. One poor woman, to save an infant, was obliged to get through the window, whilst, the fire dropped from the roof upon the cot in which the child was sleeping. The poor creatures next made an attempt to remove their humble furniture to a distant place for protection, in which endeavour to some extent they were successful, but the majority of the occupants have lost all they pos sessed ; for by the, time the London engines could reach the scene, the fire had done tremendous havoc, and with the exception of about a dozen cottages on the same estate, the others, numbering in all 16, were burnt out. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN MANCIIESTER. A fire, more destructive in its consequences than any which has occurred in Manchester for many years, took place on Wednesday night in that city. The invoice and order clerks in the employ of Messrs. Rylands and Son, general warehousemen and shippers, were just about to leave the warehouse in High-street, about ten minutes past ten o'clock, when one of the men who had to watch during the night, smelt fire, and seeing smoke proceeding up a flight of stairs which led into a cellar containing grey calicoes, he went to ascertain the cause, bat was driven back. One of the clerks also went down, and saw fire upon the coun ter, as he thought, glimmering among a very dense body of smoke, which nearly suffocated him. Attempts were made to quench it with water, but the smoke over powered the men, and they left the place in trepidation, merely seizing some few odd books that were scattered about. Mr. Rose, the conductor of the Manchester fire brigade, received intelligence of the fire from the police man on the beat at twelve minutes past ten, and being on the spot in nine minutes he found flames issuing from the cellar of the warehouse, and evidently proceeding from a very large body below. He had at first great hopes of extinguishing the fire, but it all at once sprung into great activity, having reached a gas meter, from which a flame 2 feet in diameter and 6 or 7 feet long projected the mo ment the soldering had been melted. The building itself was, perhaps, the most extensive in Manchester. The fire raged fiercely, and soon mastered the efforts of the firemen, although they played most gallantly from high pressure main jets, which discharge about a ton of water per minute, and before one o'clock in the morning it had destroyed the whole of the building to a very small portion, bringing down much of the walls. The wind blew from the east, carrying the sparks and live embers across the streets. Bread-street being so narrow, as the fire advanced along the blazing building the firemen had no space to work, and were compelled to retire, and the flames soon caught the windows of a large warehouse on the opposite side of the street occupied by Hammond, Turner, and Co., and set it on fire. The men strove hard in this new difficulty, but the narrowness of the street baffled all their efforts, and the fire completely gutted the building, passing through into Bridgewater-place, another street a considerable distance from the original scene of conflagration. It was eventually stopped by the in tervention of some strong party walls in the buildi ngs , but not until after two o 'clock in the morning. The loss caused by the destruction is immense. Messrs. Ryland had a stock of at least 100,0001. worth of goods in their warehouse, and all is destroyed with the excep tion of the salvage, which may amount to 10,000/.

RETIREMENT OF REAR-ADMIRAL SIR F. BEAUFORT, K.C.B. We have to announce the retirement from his post of hydrographer to the Admiralty of Rear-Admiral Sir:F. Beaufort, K.C.8., after a period of service, in which all his great faculties have been kept exercised to the ut most stretch, almost unprecedented. When it is known that he entered the navy in 1787, it will be readily con cluded that the gallant Admiral has reached that age when men fall into " the sere and yellow leaf." But not so with Sir Francis, for up to the present moment his great powers of mind and body are very little impaired, but still he has wisely given way to one of his pupils, who, younger in years, brings at the same time with him to the vacated office the great experience he has ac quired under so distinguished a director for a quarter of a century. Like most of the talented marine surveyors of the Royal service, Sir F. Beaufort ran a most gallant career during the war. He was in the Aquilon, 32, on the "glorious Ist . of June," and while attached to the Phae ton, 38, commanded in succession by the latter officer and Captain James Nicoll Morris, was present in Corn wallis's celebrated retreat, June 17, 1795; assisted, in the course of the same year. in driving on shore on Ile de R 6, and destroying L'Echou6, of 28 guns ; took part in the capture, March 10, 1796, of La Bonne Citoyenne, of 20 guns ;. fought in a partial action, March 23, 1798, with the French 36-gun frigate L a Charente ; was in strumental, September 8 following, to the capture of La Fiore, 36 ; and witnessed the taking, on various occa sions, of nine privateers and other armed vessels. On October 20, 1800, Lieut.-Beaufort, who had been pro moted to that rank May 10, 1796, and was now first of the Phaeton, performed an exploit of great spirit and gallantry, in boarding with the barge and two cutters under his orders, and capturing, after an obstinate resist ance, the Spanish polacre-rigged ship San Josef, carrying 14 brass guns, 34 seamen, and 22 soldiers, moored under the protection of five guns on the fortress of Fuengirola, near Malaga, and flanked by a French privateer. For his zeal, judgment, and determined bravery in this very dashing affair, in which the enemy had 19 men wounded, and the British one man killed and four wounded, Lieutenant Beaufort, who, forming one of the latter, had received a wound in the head and several slugs through his left arm and body, was, on the 10th of the following month, deservedly rewarded with a com mander's commission ; but for his severe sufferings was only awarded a pension of 451. 12a. 6d. During two years be was actively engaged in a survey of the coast of Karamania, in Asia Minor—an employment he was obliged to relinquish, in consequence of a desperate and nearly fatal gun-shot wound he received from the hands of a fanatical Turk, June 20, 1812. Captain Beaufort, who had previously contributed to the extirpation of a band of pirates from the southern part of the Morea, then returned home with convoy, and on Oct. 29 in the same year was paid off. His acceptance of flag rank took place Oct. 1, 1846. After 19 years active service afloat, chiefly during the war, he became hydrographer to the Admiralty in 14332, and from that period the country has had the great ad vantage of his devoted service in almost every depart ment of marine science, but especially with regard to our harbours, shores, and rivers. Sir Francis carries with him into retirement the respect and esteem, and. indeed, we may add, the affection of the officials of all grades at Whitehall. To his old colleagues of his own and other departments he is endeared by having, in con junction with them, worked out many an important measure, and overcome many a crooked and almost in surmountable difficulty.—Morning Herald.

The, present 'exigency is likely to lead ,to some essential reforms in naval customs ; for instance, to-day the steam-frigates Arrogant and Valorous Came into harbour With 'their powderin, to get a supply of coals. It has hitherto been the rule for ships to unload their powder at Spithead prior to coming into harbour, 'the hey Colitaiiiing their powder coining into harbour too ; they went. to .Spithead again, and the hay. .went after them, and, .Ny,hen their fires were put out in the furnaces, the ammunition was .re-shipped. Here was both doss of power, loss of fuel, and loss of time. The Vulcan and &meow liden With troops; were detained several hours at Spithead by the practice of this old regulation. They steamed to Spit head, then had to put out all their fires and blow off steam, then take iu the powder and shell, re-light their fires and get steam up again before they could proceed. Other navies do not: perpetrate these absurdities, and we hope they will be abolished in the British. The ships at Spit.head are all Manned, we be lieve, and one or two have, more than 'their. complement. The Prince Regent, 90, Captain Hutton, Rear-Admiral Corry's flag-ship, is one of the most perfect men-of-war in' the navy. Her lower deck tier are entirely 68- pounders. AdMiral Corry has not the least wish to ex change her for any other ship. A court-martial will be held on board the Victory, on Saturday, to try a marine belonging to the St. Jean d'Acre for striking his su perior non - commissioned officer of the same ship. It is thought probable that Captain Hay, of the Victory (at present flag -captain to Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, K.C.8.) or Captain Mansel will be Sir Charles Napier's flag -captain. The Dauntless, 33, screw-frigate, returned from her cruise to-day, and • joined the fleet. The Oreste,r, coal towed from -ship to ship to fill up their bunkers. T:ie — Ossear, 91. Captain Robb, shipped her crew last evening, , and her engines on trial in the Steam Basin worked well. She will try them at Stokes's Bay to-morrow. The Odin, 16, Captain Francis Scott, is going into the Steam Ba sin to repair defects. _ It is rumoured that Commodore Martin, of the Duke of Wellington, screw, 1:31, will hoist a first-class com modore's pendant on board the Leopard, 18, paddle, Captain George Giffard, and proceed with a division of steam frigates and sloops to the north, in a few days. PLYMOUTH, MARca 2. Her. Majesty's frigate Pique, 40, Captain Sir P. Nicol son, was towed from the Harnonze into the Sound yes terday by the Jasper and the Confiance. The defects of the Duke of Wellington, l3l, Commo dore H. B. Martin, will probably be made good in the Sound.. The equipment of the James Watt, 91, Captain G. Elliott, is progressing rapidly. Steam was got up in her on Wednesday. The crew of the Nile, 91, crossed topsail yards yester day. Her officers and men have given each a day's pay to the widow of coast-guardinan, Macguire, killed by the falling of a block from th 3 mizentop on Monday. Colour - sergeant A. J. Stuart, one corpor a l, and eight privates of the first battalion let Royals arrived this afternoon and took possession of the Citadel Barracks preparatory to the arrival of the whole battalion, whi3h leaves Newport, Monmouthshire, under command of Major A. B. Montgomery, on Friday morning, and tra velling by the Bristol and Exeter and South Devon Railway will reach Plymouth in the evening. This battalion was six years in Gibraltar, three in the West Indies, and four in British North America, leaving Hali fax in 1851. By volunteers from the second battalion of the depot of the 31st Regiment, &c., they are now 1,000 strong, and expect to embark at Plymouth for the Mediterranean about the 12th of March. Dublin and Kin stown DUBLIN, MARCH 2. g presented, yesterday a scene of extraordinary animation and excitement, on the occa sion of the departure for the seat of war of the 33d (Wel lington's) Regiment, the second corps drawn from Ire land‘towards the British contingent. At 8 o'clock in the morning, the seven companies destined for embarka tion were inspected on the esplanade in front of the Royal barracks ; and, notwithstanding the early hour fixed for their march, immense crowds assembled at va rious parts of the route to see them off, and, in many places, the windows and balconies were filled with ladies and gentlemen, who evinced a laudable desire to wit ness and take part in the interesting spectacle—the latter by cheering, the former by waving their handker chiefs intaken of approbation and encouragement. At a quarter before 9 o'clock the troops formed into four deep, and the word of command being given, commenced their march towards Westland-row rail way station, headed by Lieutenant-Colonel F. A. Blake, and preceded by th e i r own b an d an d those of the 21st and 91st Regiments who turned out in true esprit de corp s , t o bid adieu to their brother soldiers of the 33d, in right military fashion. As the men left their quarters, they were followed by ' thousands eager to have a good view of them in the streets, and assist those who thronged the latter in cheering them on their march along the quays, across Essex bridge, through Parliament-street, Dame-street, College green, Grafton-street, Nassau-street, Leinster-street, and Park-street, into Westland-row, which they reached at half-past 9 o'clock, amid the acclamations of the mul titudes who assembled theie to welcome their arrival. At the railway stations the best possible arrangements were made for their reception by the authorities of the Dublin and Kingstown Railway. Very little time was lost in placing the troops in the carriages provided for their transport, and at a quarter past 10 o'clock the first division left the station in a special train, which arrived at Kingstown at a few minutes before 11 ; and in less than an hour more they were rejoined by the re mainder of their comrades. The officers and men, with out exception, seemed in excellent health and spirits, and those who saw them off were naturally much gratified by their splendid and soldierlike appearance. The Etneu in which these fi n e f e ll ows h ave em b ar k e d, is a magnificent iron-built screw-steamer, much larger than the Cambria, and containing ample accommodation for the number of troops now on board. The immense saloon has been cleared of its ordinary furniture and fitted up for the use of the 33d Regiment, of which no fewer than 750 men are housed on board without crowd ing or difficulty. The officers will mess in the ladies' sitting-room, where ample space for their number is afforded. Every soldier of the 33d has been furnished with the limit; rifle. The Ewen remained at .Kingstown all night, and will proceed on her voyage this morning. SHEERNESS, 2. Captain Edmund M. Lyons (4th October, 1849), ap pointed to the Miranda, 14 guns, screw steam-sloop, has taken up his commission and joined. Lieutenant J. F. C.
