The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting trom certain habits, Irregularities, and excesses, which have proauced more misery in Youth. degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is earticularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary thatall man should tnow, that there are Principles of personal management which cannot be violated without ecurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of incoasidurate self-indulgence, how these penalties n 'aY be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, Psnd how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, t hat, there is seemly any degree of phys ical infirmit y or functional L . r !,"hitement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. ~geAutlaor hat for a series of years been enga;ed in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have unfortunately teen too generally confided to the care of Ignorant teailtries. who indict great injury on those w ho are induced to place h in their pretensions. .}:RVOUtt DEBILITY may be had, price 9 s , of Messrs.

We are not accustomed to symbolise ; but the progress of the sun of civilisation, manufacture, science, and literature from east to west, and the concentration of power , influence, riches. and skill in the western nations is illustrated in the commercial transactions of E. Moses and Son. Their magnificent business carver commenced in the east of the metropolis and ;extended over the known world, and at the urgent request of their friends, patrons, and the public, they founded a branch at the west end. There, and at tho Parent Rita blishMent, they have continued to famish the most seasonable, the most fashionable, and the best Dress for all classes at the most eco nomical prices.

In conjunction with the Tailorins, and Ready-made Clothing bnsinesr, E. Moses and Son have long had the lead as Hosiers and shit t manufacture's. To their Branch Establishment, New Oxford stre,t, they have added a Hosiery Department, which cannot be equalled for extent, magnificence. novelty, and splendour of stock ; it affords advantages too numerous fur detail, but which will lie highly appreciated by the nobi lit y , gentry, and the public, as such Hosiery Goods may there be selected as cannot be obtained else where.

TO THE ELEOTORS of the BOROUGH of MARYLEBONE. GENTLEMEN, I must in the first place condole with you on the premature de cease of your late lamented representative, whose self-sacrificing liberality and philanthropy have identified the name of Dudley Stuart with hatred of oppression and sympithy with distress. Having been unexpectedly honoured with an invitation from a meeting of electors to make a statement of my political opinions, with a view to being propose t as a candidate for your borough, I lost no time in doing se. And lam happy to find that the answer I have since given to a deputation, in further explanation of my sentiments, both upon political matters in general, and upon the all•important question of the war, has led to my receiving from many quarters assurances of influential support if I should allow myself to be put in nomination. Under these circumstances, I have determined to _solicit the honour of your suffrAges. The public questions are few, indeed, on which, in the course of fifteen years, I have not pronounced an opinion, whether by my votes. my speeches, or by writings. I shall, however, be happy to answer. to the best of my ability, any further !aqui:lea you May think fit to put to me But I can give no pledge beyond that of my past public life. If I cannot be retailed as an independent representative, I will not be returned at all. I never have sat, and I never will sit, on any Other terms; and I would submit to you that he who could be capable of sacrificing his convictions for the sake of your votes, would be, on any convenient occasion, equal!) , capable of sacrificing your interests to h's own. If you do me the great honour of approving me as the tried friend of civil, religious, and commercial freedom—as the pro moter of good local self-government, and of that efficiency in local administration which is the only true economy —as the supporter of extended franchise and general education—and as the advocate ol' the present just and necessary war—a war undertaken, in concert with our brave French neighbours, for the purpose of checking the encroachments of despotism, and of ultimately, with God's bless ing, conquering for Europe a safe and honourable peace; if, above all, you feel with me that we ought to strain every nerve to succour effectively and at once our struggling forces in the Crimea, the wasted survivors of that gallant army so lately embarked from our shores with the pride of health, of equipment, and of numbers ; if you agree with me that we are hound to reinforce and refit, without stint, that sadly diminished band of heroes, whose noble prowess and ill-requited humanity, whose devoted obedience and uncomplaining endurance make us proud of tile name of Englishmen, but whose losses, privations, and sufferings it makes our hearts Weed in the Mithit-9f. t 9 think If, on those tarns and with - then° sentiments, yon'plaernin in the proud position of your Representative, I shall endeavour to merit your approbation, and testify my gratitude by a diligent attention to my public duties and a sedulous promotion of your local interests. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, Grosvenor-square, Dec. 7, 1864. EBRINGTON. of war, and its strength, the resistance it has offered to our attack now renders its reduc tion an object of tenfold importance. We hold it to be totally impossible to regard the security of the East as established while a Russian fortress and a fleet exist in a position where they can only serve for purposes of aggression. It can not for a moment be supposed that the Allied Powers will consent to desist from the vast enter prise in which they are engaged upon any terms short of the surrender and demolition of Sebastopol for till that has been accomplished nothing has been done for the permauent settlement of these momentous questions ; and we must also be in a condition to require that no 15 ueli armaments and fortifications shall again menace the inland shores of the Turkish dominions. Such we conceive to be the minimum of the con ditions now required of Russia as preliminaries of peace ; and, although they may not include all that may be demanded, a peace ou such terms would destroy all pretensions put forward by Rus sia, and would afford solid guaranteesfor the future p ro gress and tranquillity o f th e E as t. I s it, then, to be anticipated that. the Emperor Nicholas will yield to these terms ? In sober reason and mere prudence it were well for Lim if he did so. He can at no time expect more favourable conditions. The number of his antagonists increases, and as yet they have not put forth half their strength. He wages that fatal combat of one against all, in which suc cess is impossible ; and, if the allied armies suc ceed in wresting a province from his grasp, it will be permanently lost to his empire. The longer the .struggle is continued, the deeper andAhe .more certain his loss. But, on the .i)their LaneitAtie has still enormous military resources, the flower of his armies has not yet been engaged, and, though his pride has been wounded, his power has not been crushed, by defeat. He has throughout misjudged the strength and determination of Europe ; his re sentment against his former allies inflames his pas sions and controls his policy ; and, when a sove reign of absolute power stands between the two alternatives which are now before him, the course he resolves to take is usually the boldest and the worst. For these reasons we believe that war on a more extended scale, and not peace, will arise out of the present conjuncture of affairs. (Front the Daily News.) The treaty with Austria will have to " run the gauntlet," in both Houses of Parliament," on the first night of the session. Before that eventful evening it is not probable that any definite, official account of the contents of the treaty will be allowed to reach the public. We were enabled, however, to publish' yesterday, in our second edition, some particulars obtained by our Paris correspondent from a reliable authority, which will in all proba bility be found to be not very wide of the mark: In our third edition we published a telegraphic de spatch from our correspondent on the Danube, which seems to show that the treaty has already borne fruits. Next week 40,000 . Turks, of the veteran army of the Danube, with" - one hundred guns, will embark at Varna and Baltsehik for the Crimea. Mussar Paella is tosuperintend the em- barkation ; and Omer Pacha, is to leave Bucharest in a few days. A decided step of this nature im plies that Omer Pacha— , who certainly is not in clined to repose a blind confidence in Austria—and his Government are satisfied with the attitude which that power has now assumed. Only one Turkish regiment is to be left at Bucharest. A large proportion of Omer Pasha's forces, which could be of comparatively little service in the drowned and muddy lands of the Lower Danube during the winter, is to be added imtnediately to the Allied armies before Sebastopol. This intelli gence will not come unexpectedly upon those who have been in the habit of perusing the reports of our corespondent in Bucharest. While the journals of Vienna, and latterly even the French Moniteur, have been speaking of au immediate advance by Onier Pacha's army on Bessarabia, he has con- stantly warned us not, to expect any military opera tions in that quarter before March. The nucleus . of what may by that time become an invading army still stands in the immediate vicinity of the Sereth ; and in the meantime the hostile arma.mbuts destined ,o work the fall of Soba,stopol are rapidly aug- meriting. With regard to what we have reasoi to believe are the terms of the treaty itself, we aro disposed to say, with our Paris correspondent, that they are " much better than it was expected Austria would assent to." Our correspondent, it will b© seen, speaks with less confidence of the a!leged promise of the Western Powers to maintain. Austria in the integrity of her dominions than of the other pro visions of the Treaty. This is the point on which the public mind of England. is most anxious. It is a point on which we confess our own apprehen sions era not yet entirely removed. We are assured, however, from a quarter likely to be well informed, that England stands entirely free from any such engagement. Between France and Aus tria, it is understood that there is some separate arrangement with regard to their respective posi tions in Italy. This is extremely probable,. and indeed unavoidable. However much we desire to see the Italians left entirely to themselves—freed armies—that ques ti on i s n ot at present on the from the pr esence b o th o f Austrian and* French tapis. The sovereignty of Austria in Lombardy and the Venetian territory is a fact Which fortu nately cannot be called in question. :The occupa tion of Rome by French troops is also a fact of some tour years' standing. It is better that Rome should be occupied by French than by Austrian troops. Indeed, it i s pro b a bly owing to the pr sence of Fre nc h t roops i u R om e e.; that the Austrians do not at this moment hold military possession of the whole States of the Church, and that they do not venture upon any encroachments on Sardinia. It is quite natural that Austria should insist upon some assurance that a force, the mere presence of which keeps its ambitious projects fin Italy in check, shall not be employed to weakeh its position there. It is most desirable that no rash or prema ture movement on the part of Italian patriots should take place at the present time, when there is really no prospect of success ; and this being the case, there can be no practical harm in an arrangement between France and Austria, which can have no validity whenever the state of affairs in Italy undergoes any material change. Still it is to be hoped that England is no party g i ven to such an ephemera l u nd erstan di ng between th e other two Powers. Those d e t a il s of the Treaty, w ith res p ec t t o w hi c h our correspo n d en t spea k s w ith confidence, are briefly as f o ll ows : —R uss i a i s t o be called upon immediately to accept of a peace on the basis of the four p o i n t s, as interpreted in the Treaty. This in terpretation i nc l u d es t h e t h row i ng o pen of the Black gea to the fleets of the Western Powers. Russia is not to be allowed to maintain more than six ships of war in that sea, and France and Eng land are each (as we understand it) to be allowed the same number. An European port is to be established either at Batoun or Sinope, as a counter poise to Sebastopol. As a guarantee for the free navigation of the Danube, the fortress of Ismail and all the Russian forts near the mouth of the river are to be destroyed. Each of the Five Great Powers is to protect separately its own subjects in Turkey ; and the protectorate of the Christian sub jects of the Porte is to be exercised by them col lectively. If these conditions are not accepted by Russia before the let or 2d of January, the Aus trian Minister at St. Petersburg is to be recalled ; and if Russia continue obstinate till the 2d of March, Austria will declare war, seed 20,000 men to the Crimea, and enter Bessarabia with the rest of its disposable forces. It is evident, on the most cursory view, that there are some points in the Treaty; as described to us, that cannot possibly be permanent. Other Powers—and in the foremost rank of these the United States of North America—will claim the same free access for their ships of war to the Euxiue that is conceded to the Allies ; and this of itself will render a modification of the terms of the Con vention at an early period inevitable. The joint protectorate of the Christian subjects of the Porto will of necessity prove a nullity. The rivalry of France and Russia, arising out of their respec tive protectorates of the Latin arid Greek Christians in Jerusalem would he a faint type of the incessant wrangling and intrigues to which a joint protec torate exercised by two Protestant, two Roman Ca tholic, and one Greek Power would give rise. There never will be any effectual interference with the internal government of Turkey on the plea of religion ; and there ought not to be. But it is scarcely necessary to argue about the efficacy or or the probable permanence of the Convention be tween Austria and the Western Powers. It is iu the last degree improbable that Russia will accept of peace on the terms proposed. They are offered to the Czar, as the Sybil offered all her books in the first instance to Tarquin. The obstinate pride of Nicholas will constrain him to reject the bar gain as originally tendered to him, and accept in the long run a much less advantageous peace at the price of greater concessions. The importance of the Treaty to the Western Powers and to Europe act in thatseisnse t it distinctly a certain en etxietsdt. A ustriaownAustr has `Austria to inour placed itself on the rails, and cannot get off again : it must go on further than, it at present contem plates, or take worse consequences. We have no great faith in Austria, and we could have wished a solution of the Eastern difficulties better calcu lated to set them at once and permanently at rest than the terms of the Treaty of Alliance afford. But the existence of Austria as an independent State is an obstacle in the way—is a fact that can not be got rid of by a cottp•de-main, whatever far vent orators and speculative politicians, who re construct the European system. of States in tl eir closets, as they would write a historical romance, may say. A rock that stands in the line of a pro jected road or railway cannot be pushed aside by one effort ; it must be hewn, and blasted, and re moved piecemeal : and so with the obstacles which the hereditary policy of a State like Austria opposes to the most desirable organisation of the European system of States. The Treaty with Austria—unless our information respecting it is entirely erroneous—is a step in advance ;it places tho Liberals of Europe in a more favourable and commanding position for further operations than they had ever attained before. A terrible respon sibility will rest upon any Liberal who would'rear the prospect of so fair a political harvest "by putting in his sickle ere 'tis ripe." NAY AL AND MILITARY INTELLIGHNOS. The Neptune, 120, Captain Hutton, sailed from Spit head at noon to-day for Queenstown, to embark troops for the Crimea. The Leopard, 18, paddle-frigate, Cap tain Giffard, will follow her about Saturday next. The St. George, 120, Captain H. Eyres, C. 8., was paid wages in Plymouth Sound by Rear-Admiral Eden on Tuesday. Every expedition has been used in pre paring her for the reception of troops. Bed places and mess tables have been fitted, and two extra fire-hearths have been supplied. She has a quantity of Ordnance stores on board, and was appointed to sail on Thursday for Queenstown, to embark troops for the Crimea. The Orion, 91 gnus, new screw line-of-battle ship, having had her heavy machinery, masts, and bowsprit just put into her into the fitting basin at Sheerness, has been put out, and yesterday preparations were made for towing her to Chatham for further fitment. ,The African steam-tug and the Lizard, Lieut. Christopher, were lashed alongside her. On slipping her from her moorings off the basin, the wind at the time was blowing very strong from the north-west, broadside on her hull, and before the vessels could get steerage-way on ber, she drifted with the wind and tide foul of the town-pier ; fortunately, the tide being low, her keel caught on the cant edge off the pier, and the damage dose on the flowing of the tide was trifling. She was at the time under pilot charge of Mr. J. Milbank, Trinity pilot at this port. The Master-Attendant, the Assistant Master-Attendant, and a strong party of riggers, were iu attendance; and, after some time, succeeded in getting her clear and moored at the outer moorings off the yard. She fouled the For midable, guard-ship of ordinary, doing some slight damage to her, carrying away her starboard , whisker,&c. The Monar ch, 84, Capt. Lyster, sailed yesterday morn ing with a splendid breeze from Spithead for Devon port. The Calcutta, 84, Captain James J. Stopfird, still re mains at Falmouth trying to complete her complement by getting seamen to volunteer from the merchant ships calling at that port. She received a draught et 30 men from the Impregnable, brought round by the Avon steamer last Saturday, and these, together with six volunteers she has got during ber stay at Falmouth, make her crew up to 620 men, so that she now requires 130 men to complete her complement of 750. It is re ported that her officers and crew will be turned over to a screw ship; most probably the Cornwallis, early in February. - - The Melampus, *42, frigate-transport, is under the sheers at Sheerness. Her lower masts are taken out, as they were only those of a brig, to make her work easy from one port to another. Orders have been re ceived to fit her with all despatch fur a troop-ship. The Horatio, 22, screw, Commander Jenner, is still in Sheerness harbour, waiting Admiralty orders. The Pylades, 21, screw, is in the graving dock at Sheerness, and has her coppering nearly finished. Many artisans are working at her, fitting her with all possible despatch. The Leopard, 13, paddle, , Capt. Gifford, got up steam in the steank basin, yesterday afternoon, to prove engines and boilers. She will haul out to-day. The Brisk, 14, screw, Commander Curtis, proceeled from Falmouth on Thor...day, fur Rio Janeiro sad the Pacific. The Hecla, 6, paddle, alongside the jetty at Ports mouth, receiving her stores, And making every exertion to comply with her "sudden orders," although we do not think it possible she can get away before Sunday. The Dee, 6, paddle, Lieut, Commander Smith, has gene out of Portsmouth Harbour, snider orders. The Porcupine, paddle, Lieut. Commander Jackson, is in Sheerness Harbour, waiting orders, &c. The Cuckoo, paddle, is in Sheerness Harbour. RUSSIA AND THE WESTERN PO WERS. (From the times.) A note, addressed by Count Nesselrede to the Russian Minister at Berlin about a month ago, will be found in another part of our columns, in which the Russian Cabinet signifies its consent to take part in neg otiations for peace upon the basis of the Four P oints, modified to suit the views of the Court of St. Petersburg. About ten days later, and after the result of the battle of Inkier man was known by the Czar, the Austrian Minister at St. Petersburg was informed that the Russian Government was disposed to accept the Four Points without these modifications. In both cases it is evident that the real object of the Russian Cabinet in making these declarations was to obtain from Germany " a neutrality supported with firmness and perseverance ;" but in both cases the manoeuvre seems to have failed, for oven Prussia was not restrained from concluding the additional article to her treaty with Austria, and Austria proceeded without any further delay to complete her treaty with the. Western Powers. It is evident therefore that the German States them selves regarded this qualified adoption of the four articles as an insincere or insufficient concession, which was intended merely to disar m and 'divide them, without any substantial compliance with the just demands of the belligerent Powers. The question, however, 'is not yet irrevocably decided ; and it is undoubtedly still open to the Emperor of Russia to declare in the course of the present month that he does absolutely, and without equivocation or reserve, accept the Four Points as they are understood by the three Allied Powers. There is, of course, no war— unless it be a war waged in a spirit of vin dictiveness or of conquest—which may not be terminated at any given moment by the sub mission of one of the contending parties to terms imposed by the other. , It is within the range of possibility, though not of probability, that the Emperor of Russia may conceive the moment of submission to be come, since any further delay must load to the conclusion of an offensive and de fensive alliance between Austria and the Western Powers, and augment the perils which surround his e spire. We may therefore reasonably inquire what is the extent of the terms now demanded by the Allied Courts, and what is the probability that the Emperor of Russia will yield to them ? The four conditions contained in the Notes of the Bth of August were necessarily and intention ally expressed in language which left room for g reat latitude of interpretation, and their precise e ffect remained to be settled by further discussion and negotiation. At the present time, however, no such vagueness of expression can be allowed to subsist, and we have no doubt that the Allied Governments have clearly and decidedly stated to each other their whole intentions. Holding in the first place, that all the former treaties between Russia and the Porte are abrogated by the state of war, their first object must be that no such separate conventions or treaties should be renewed, inas much as the stronger Power always had the means of interpreting them to the disadvantage of the weaker State. As long as those treaties were in existence Russia had an exceptional position to wards the Ottoman empire, and the Sultan 'As not included in those ,general provisions which embrace and protect the family of European States. On this point, then, the axe is laid to the root of the tree, for the ascendancy of Rus sia over Turkey bad been obtained by these treaties, the growth of 80 years of encroach ment and intrigue. Prince Menschikoff was sent to crown the work by his demands, but he over threw the whole fabric. Together with the treaties between Russia and the Porte, thq separate acts and conventions establishing the influence of Russia in the Danubian Principalities must be held to be extinct, and the future condition of those fertile provinces is open to deliberation. Russia declares that she is ready to adopt the principle of a joint guarantee of the civil and re ligous right of the Christian populations of the Ottoman empire, to be given by the five great Powers, on the faith of the assurance repeatedly proclaimed by the Western Powers in the course of this struggle, that they are resolved to secure the amelioration of the condition of the Sultan's Chris tian subjects. We have always regarded, and we still regard, the improvement of the condition of the Christian populations as one of the grand ob jects of the interference of the Christian Powers in this quarrel, for the only practicable mode of aug menting the resources and of reforming the institu tions of the Ottoman empire is to make its Chris tian inhabitants contented instead of disaffected subjects. Lord Clarendon has repeatedly stated, both in Parliament and in his despatches, the para mount importance this country attaches to that just and necessary change ; but there is a broad distinction between this general principle recog nized by all the Powers, and the exclusive protec torate claimed by Russia over the great branch of the Christian Church in the East, which she affected to identify with the Russian Uhurch. On this point, then, her change of language is remark able, and her defeat would be total. It is not a little curious that the exclusive protectorate of the Greek Church, which she made the pretext of this whole dispute, is now the first thing she professes to abandon. The right of free navigation in the Danube has never been disputed by the Russian Government in principle, but it has been destroyed or obstructed in practice by the occupation of the delta under the Treaty of Adrianople, by the silting up of the Salina mouth, and by the establishment of batteries and quarantine stations on the right bank of the river. To secure the exercise of this right, there fore, the terms of the third article of the Treaty of Adrianople must be altogether changed ; the whole right bank of the stream, down to the Salina mouth, must be restored to Turkey, and effectual measures taken to keep the passage open. The fourth proposition, which is in truth the most i m portant and the most difficult to enforce, imperfectly expressed by the Allied Pwoaslvers ver y when hen they stated that they demanded a revision of the Convention of the Straits. " Rus sia," says Count Ntsselrode, " would not oppose the complete abolition of that convention, pros idl e the Sultan consents ;" and by such a procer4s of r vision Russia would be the real gainer, for th (3 ; same law which shuts the rest of Europe out of th e Black Sea in time of peace shuts her up within it. To open the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus is to place the Sultan iu his palace at the mercy of every ship-of-war that passes before his windows ; and the fleets of Russia would find their way to the Mediterranean quite as easily as our vessels would reach the Euxine. The matter is, however, not so easily settled. The real meaning of this proposi tion was and is, as M. Drouyu de Lhuys expressed it, the limitation of the power of Russia in the Black Sea, and subsequent events have shown that the Allies contemplate not only entire free dom of access to those waters, but also the de struction of that huge fleet and fortress against which our forces by sea and land are at this time arrayed.

Yesterday morning the mortar-vessel , , Drake and Sin bad, proceeded out of Sheerness Harbour direct fee Shoeburyness, in order to test the power and capabilities of range of the Lancaster mortars, with which each of these vessels is fitted. The admiral's tender conveyed the following gentlemen to test them :—Captain Sir T. Maitland, General Jones, Captain Roberts, R.M.A., Captain Jenner, two French officers, and several other gentlemen. Tke cemmander•in chief, Vice Admiral W. Gordon, was present merely, we Understand, as a spec tator, and the Myrtle and Wildfire steamers were in attendance. The vessels had not returned when our despatch was sent off, consequeritly we are unable to state the result ; but our correspondent says, if he might judge from the loud report and vibration of the houses on the beach facing where they are going (although eight or nine miles distant), they must be guns of enormous calibre. We hear they are expected to carry four miles, and ig.tey fire at an eleva tion of 45 degrees. These vessels are of light draught of water ; when loaded will draw little more than nine feet. They have hitherto been employed to convey stores for the Government from one port to another ; they are very strongly built, and will, no doubt, answer every purpose. FORTIFICATION AT MILFORD invnt.—This week the l heavy guns, nine S inch long 68-pounders, weighing each 68 cwt., were unshipped from Pembroke-yard by means of the Prospero steamer to the tower on Thorn Island. To furnish this and the ether fortifications with troops extensive barrack accommodation must be provided at Pembroke. The magnificent fortified barracks there at present are totally inadequate to that service, and to prevent the inhabitants being saddled with billeted sol i diers, the new barracks already decided upon, and for the construction of which all the preliminary arrange ments have been perfected, must be forthwith taken in hand—a censumusation devoutly to be wished.— Carmarthen Journal.

Sometimes the esti mates have been signed by the lieut.-colunel, whereas they ought always to be signed by the colonel of the re giment, where there is one in command.—Dublin Even ing Post. TIPPERARY, Dec. O.—The enrolment of men for the Tipperary Militia is being carried on with increased energy within the last week. The recruiting staff visited the town of Tipperary on Wednesday, and were success ful in obtaining about thirty volunteers. The class of men that presented themselves were far better than those that previously came forward, and were it not that an erroneous impression exists that those who take on would be drafted on foreign service, 14 larger number of recruits would have joined the gallant corps. The impression we refer to is utterly unfounded, as appears from a re cent letter of Sir John Young to the Rev. Mr. Conce tan, P.P., Tractor); county Cork, on the subject, and we think that young men anxious to join should not hesitate on this ground to flock to their country's staa dard. We learn that there are now about 150 men en rolled for the South Tipperary Militia.—Tipperary Free Press. ANTRIM.—QUEEN'S ROYAL RIFLES.—Major Verner, at present in command at head-quarters, is taking a very active part in the formation of this regiment, and personally inspects all the recruits, along with Dr. Gaussen, the surgeon of the regiment.

BELFAST.—The enrolment of the Belfast Militia is proceeding rapidly, now that is clearly understood that the term o service is limited to five years, and that they will not be requirei to leave the United Kingdom.— Belfast News-Leiter. TEE LOSS OF THE SHIP POLAR STAR BY FIRE. The following accoiat of this unfortuiate disaster has been receiyed from the captain of the ill-fated vessel : " Sunday, October 1, 1554, lat. 31 S., long. 25 W., at eight a.m., I was alarmed by the cry of fire ' which was immediately confirmed by the serjeant of the detach. 'tient of Royal Artillery which was on board, rushing into the cuddy, calling to Lis lieutenant—' The ship is on fire, sir ! the ship is on fire, sir 1' I immediately rushed out on deck, and found the statement but too true. On going forward I found the smoke issuing out of the fore hatchway in a dense black cloud. I immediately or dered the helm to be put up, and let the ship go off bo lero the wind. The smoke then began to ascend in a thick black cloud up the main hatchway. All hands, troops and passengers, were immediately set to work with pumps and buckets to ponr water down the hatchways, it being impossible for any one to get below. After working with the water for some time, and finding that the tiro was gaining, I ordered all the hatches to be put on and securely battened down, to prevent any air from getting - - below. After getting hatches secured, cleared away the launch, and hung her over the side in the tackles, fear ing the flames would burst up the ha.tchway and consume her. After seeing the boats all right, we cut holes in the deck fore and aft to insert funnels, being careful to stop up the holes whelk the tunnels were removed from one hole to another. Daring the whole of this time no pen can describe the distraction and confusion amongst the women and children —many of them with scarcely any clothing on them, and no possibility of getting any. We now found ourselves in a most deplorable position ; for, iu addition to having our ship burning under us, we found that we had neither water nor provisions on deck, a thousand miles away from land, and our boats not capable of containing more than two-thirds our nomber, if obliged to have recourse to them.— Noon : Crew and passengers working unceasingly with pumps and buckets, iu the hopes of keeping the fire un der. Observinr , a great deal of smoke to escape out of the topgallant forecastle, we immediately filled up all the searus;nd crevices, and covered all over with a wet sai About four p.m. made an attempt to get down through the poop into the after storeroom, and succeeded in getting up two or three bags of biscuit, two or three hams, and a small keg of spirits. Eight p.m. ; Divided the troops, passengers, and sailors in two watches, Lieu tenant Temple taking charge of one watch, and myself the other. They were then told to which boat they would have to go in case of necessity, so as to have as little confusion at last as possible. Sixty were named for the launch, 22 for the pinnace, and 14 for the gig. The watch was then sotto workagain, and continued through. out the night to work incessantly and cheerfully. At daylight oa Monday morning sent one hand up to the masthead, hoping some sail might providentially heave in sight, as that was our only hope of escape, the boats being sure to swamp if made use of. Noon.—Strong breeze and a dark gloomy atmosphere, all hands working most indefatigably, and making every effort to keep the fire under. Six p.m. ; Darkness again closing in without having seen any sail or signs of delivery. Oh,how anxiously every eve was directed around the horizon so long as a blink of daylight remained ! But in vain. Nothing was to be seen afloat but our burning ship, the smoke issuing out of every aperture where any air was admitted. Eight p.m. : Set the watch again, and relieved each other during the night. Daylight : Sent another look out up to the masthead, but nothing to be seen. Six a.m. : Got some water out of the tank, and found it to be almost up to boiling heat ; the deck becoming very much heated. Noon : Strong breeze and cloudy ; no thing in sight ; crew all at work, making every effort to suppress the fire and to keep it from bursting forth. Six p.m.: Just as night was closing in for the third time, and with it almost every hope of succour, it pleased God to bless our sight and cheer our hearts with the sight of a ship on our weather bow. All hands immediately got up and gave three cheers, but as darkness was closing in fast they were admonished not to build their hopes too high for fear they should not see our sig nals, whereby the disappointment would only be the greater. We immediately commenced firing minute guns, and burning blue lights, which were immediately answered, and we had the happiness of knowing that they were seen, and our signals understood. The ship was fast bearing down to us. Seven p.m. : She rounded under our stern, when Lieutenant Temple and myself went on board to explain our situation. The ship proved to be the Anna Mooka, from Callao, bound to Cadiz. Captain Hutchinson promised to render us all the assistance in his power, and lay by until daylight. Eight p.m.: Returned on board again, and sent all the women on board the Anna Mooka. Daylight . Captain Hutchinson went round the decks with me, and examined all the holes that bad been cut ; feeling the heat of the decks, &e. ; his opinion perfectly coin ciding with mine and Lieutenant Temple's that s h e could not possibly bold out much longer, and that, as soon as the hatches were lifted, the flames would ascend. Nothing but the unceasing exertions of the crew and passengers, and having kept everything bat tened down, had kept the ship from being consumed before. I immediately sent what live stock, &c., to gether with the passengers and ensue of the troops, on board the Anna Mooka, keeping on board sufficient for the boats to carry without being too deep. After making the boats fast under the lee quarter with one or two hands in to keep them off, I ordered the hatches to be taken off, when imme diately the ship was enveloped in a cloud of smoke. In less than ton minutes the flames burst up main hatchway ; all hands were then ordered to s) tthe boats and to shove off, which Lad not been done m o re than ten minutes before the mainmast fell over the side with a loud crash, tearing up the decks and dragging down the foretopmast and m i zen topgall an tmast with it ; in a short time after bot h fore and nl i senn iasts fell. flame The ship was now ono liv id sheet of from end to end, and fast consuming.

" HENRY WALKER, Late Commander,of ship Polar Star.' On the arrival of the crew and passengersat St. Helena, a subscription was commenced by the inhabitants for the purchase of clothes and other necessaries for their immediate wants, and to procure passages from the island, Another fearful catastrophe at sea to a transport ship with detachments of the 27th Regiment on board, bound to Calcutta, from Queenstown, was made known yesterday at Lloyd's, through private accounts received at the Jerusalem Coffee-house, which, it will be seen, was accompanied with la mentable loss of human life. The unfortunate vessel was the British ship Charlotte, of London, owned by Mr. Mews, timber-merchant, of Rothehithe, 585 tens burden, and classed in Lloyd's register as A 1 for 13 years, having been built in 1844. " Algoa Bay, Wednesday, Sept. 20. "The last 24 hours have presented a scene the parallel to which has never been witnessed in Port Elizabeth. At a quarter past 5 p.m. yesterday the British ship Char lotte, Capt. Affleck, commander, lying iu the bay, made signal that she had parted au anchor and wanted another. She was from Queenstown, with detachments of the'27th Regiment, for Calcutta, and put into the bay two days previous for fresh supplies and water. The officers of the regiment on board %%ere C.iptain Stapyltee, Ceptain Warner, Lieutenant Maguire, Eosign Wiiite, Dr. Kidd, 168 rank and file, 14 women, end 26 children. Her wants were being supplied by the tank-boat, .but had not been completed b.ttore a heavy sea bloke into the increased towards w ith mo d era t e southerly wind, which towards noon, and being more to the S.E., a sig nal was made from the Port office for the Char lotte to strike her topgallantinests and yards, and to be p re p are d f or a gale, which was attended to immediately. The wind freshened considerably, but net to such an extent as to cause any anxiety for the safety of the shipping, although the heavy sea tolling e l na,sng stopped all ceturuunicatiou with the shore. Oa her that she had parted her anchor the harbour -master replied no assistance could be sent to her. la about an hour afterwards she parted from her second anchor, and !his was observed drifting northward, but getting all sail on made an attempt to beat out of the bav, and she stoodout to the eastward, apparently making gejid way; but, having no . loretoptail bent (her topgallant masts being struck), it was impossible to stay her. In this emergeucyshu beat down towards the bight, andalthoueli but dimly visible, it was too evide n t she was losieg * ground. At 8 o'clock the vessel stood towards the ship ping, and again attempted to wear; the wind, however, by this time had fallen light, and, drifting, she went ashore on the rucks, exactly opposite the flagstaff at the end of the Jetty-street. As soon as possible tar-bar r el s were collected and lighted, to inspire ,confidence, and assist in directing operations. Mauby is apparatus was directly brought down, and under the direction of Lieutenant Simpson, of her Majesty's steamer Hydra, a rope was thrown several times over the vessel, but from some misunderstanding or want of rope the communication was lost. In the meantime the ship was fest settling down on the dangerous reef on which she struck, and it was evident she would speedily become a wreck. The lifeboat was then prepared, and, a crew being collected it was pulled through the breakers, and made its way, under the charge of Capt. Salmond, to the wreck. On coming alongside it was found that every one on board was completely paralysed. or overcome by the calamity. There seven 1 tic e tl • lifeboat pulled alongside, but there was ao one in a. posi tion even to cast a line in it, till at length the boat wt .s dtivenback and stove amid the dangerous reefs which line the beach, its crew barely escaping with their li, es. A moment of terrible anxiety ensued. It was evident to all assembled that the noble vessel was fast breaking up ; the masts had gone, and the sea was making a com plete breach over her. By the glare of the watchfires the hull of the wreck could just be observed, and its deck crowded with groups of people—some half-dressed, and holding forth in their arms infants and children, screaming to the crowds of people collected on the rock, and imploring their help to save them. The ago nising cries of the poor creatures announced that the ship was going to pieces. A great number threw them selves overboard ; sore were fortunate enough to reach the shore, but the majority were drowned. At about 1 o'clock the poop and stern parted from the vessel, and was carried close in shore. A spar from the mizeninai4 projected over on to the rook, by which several sue • .eded in saving themselves by slipping down into the sr.ns of the people. One account states that all col lected on the poop were saved, A great number of soldiers were clinging to the fore part of the wrack. In less than half an hour afterwards that portion of it turned completely over, and every soul that was on it perished. At daylight not a vestige of the ill-fated vessel was to be seen where she was wrecked. A mass of broken masts and timber, entangled in ropes and torn sails, strewed the beach. Immediately search was then made for the bodies of those who had perished. During the morning 23 were found, a portion of whom were interred in the church-yard before dark, followed by all the troops in the garrison and a great number of the in habitants, All the children who were on board, except ing one, were drowned. Most of the women also pe rished. On tie survivors being mustered it was ascer tained that out of 163 rank and file about 118 were saved." Tire following is a list of those kn(wa to be saved, and ,t is trued it includes the whole : Cabin Passengers.—Mrs. Short, M'Cabe, Steward, Thomson, and Gillan ; Captains Stapylton and Warner, Lieutenant Maguire, Ensi g n White, and Dr. Kidd.

A very crowded meeting of the members of the above Literary Institution, was held yesterday evenieg in St. Martin's Hall, in order to deliberate upon the best means of carrying on the business of the Club during the interval that must elapse before the effects of the late calamitous fire can be repaired. Th• chair was taken by Mr. Mechi. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, observed that, although they had met to discuss a great tempo- rary misfortune, he trusted that through the energetic action of the members, all that had happened would only tend to the increased permanent welfare of the Clui. (Hear, hear.) He had looked at their whole case simply as a matter of business, and looking at the long term of their lease, and the improving neighbourhood in which their premises were situated, he believed that everything was in their favour, and knowing that union was strength, it gave him much pleasure to tke the crowded meeting that had responded to the invitation of the committee. TArr then read the special report of the commit tee which, after recapitulating the circumstances of the late fire, stated that the premises were insured by the Duke of Norfolk for 10,0001., and the club p roperty for 2,5001. There were' n years of the lease e y tto ru which gave to th e c l u b a va l ua bl e b ene fi c i a l interest. The premises would of course he rebuilt, but the ma': point for them then to consider was how temporary accommodation could be provided during the interval. They had for the present engaged a room at the Norfolk Hotel, where the members would find an ample stock of magazines and newspapers. The committee expressed their regret at the face that Mr. Brace, their secretary, had been a considerable loser by the fire, and that the servants had by the same calamity been deprived of all they possessed. A subscription for their relief had been opened, and although only two days before the club, a sum of 401. hod already been collected. (Cheers.) The report proceeded to reecouunend several tempo. rary arrangements. With respect to finance, the cow• initsce had state that at the time of the fire the funds were in a most satisfactory condition, the last half-year's subscription having been 7001. against 380/. for the cor responding half-year of 1852. The balance hi hand Ivan small, but the debt was unusually small, most of the accounts having been paid as they accrued. Th e coin. mittee while lamenting the loss the club had sustained by the fire, believed that it would result in providin g fo r the members incr eased accommodation. (Cheers.) - Mr. GIBSON moved the adoption of the report, with a w a rm eulogiurn on the committee for the energy and promptitude with which they had met the emergency. On Saturday evening the cluk Was full of members, on Sunday morning it was burned to the ground, ar,d ou Monday morning their committee had provided them s a e o c c o o l ta id su ed od th at e io r n e . s witl i i r t . er ,A p ß o u ra o r N y olution, which was car riedunanimously. The several stiggestions of the report were then Ft seriatim, and after a short conversational discussion uuani►nously agreed to. Thanks were then given te'the p,..mnittee and nacre• tary, and Mr. YAP?, in the absence of Mr. Brace, returned thanks ter the latter. lie wished it to be known that to Mr. Brace's exertions the whole of the servants, 14 iu . _ number, owed their lives on the oceasi, a of the late ire. It had been erroneously stated that tht-y were saved by the firemen, but the fact was that Mr. Brace wax tl • person who had at the risk of his own life given then► the alarm. A. vote of thanks to the chairman was then pass ed by acclamation, and the proceedings terminated. -- THE PENINSULAR MAILS.—SOUTIIIIIPTON, The reday. —The above mails left this afternoon by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship, Madrid, C.tptatn Cook.
