It s perusal is Particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts 01 their physical condition, and who are conscious of having' hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there art 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 m ay be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, 'rid how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, t a b at there is scarcely any degree of physical intirmity or functional _erangernent to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. Theauthor has for a series of years been engaged in an extensivt Practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have unfortunately been too gene; ally confided to the care of ignorant 1 1iiricii, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place aith in their pretensions. ri NERVOUS DEBILITY may bo had, price of Messrs.

DUBLIN, Sept. 11.—Miss Arbuthnot, the lady who had so narrow an escape from the violent attempt of Mr. Carden, has purchased a handsome gold watch at Mr. \Vest's, in this city, and got a suitable inscription engraved on it, for a present to the steward of Rath ronan, in acknowledgment of the aid which he rendered in rescuing her from the band of armed ruffians. A ROVING ELEPHANT.—On ',Wednesday night, the elephant accompanying the menagerie of Mr. Batty, which bad been exhibiting in this town, after the per formance was safely lodged in a stable, near the George Hotel. The keeper, on going to feed the animal in the morning, found to his great astonishment that his charge had absconded. Riders were sent about in every direc tion to find the missing brute, but they returned without any success. In the forenoon he was discovered lying fast asleep in the wine cellar of the hotel, having, it seems, opened the door of his lodging in the night, in a roving disposition, and quietly walked up a long flight of steps to the George, and afterwards descended to the cellar. Several bottles were broken, and the contents drank by the elephant, till le was satisfied he had enough. Men found, he loosed the picture of content ment. This does not show that all animals are disciples of Father Mathew. --North 11 ales Chronicle, N. 19,334.] PUBLICATIONS. On the 14th of September will be published.

THE WAR. TILE 0110LERA. ENGLISH TREATMENT OF RUSSIAN PRISONERS. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. Sir Benjamin Hall has already done much to guard against the approach, or to mitigate the effects, of the cholera, and it is therefore in no cap tious spirit that his exertions should be judged. Although, however, the steps which he has taken since his accession to office have been characterised by much wisdom and energy, it is impossible to conceal from ourselves the fact that they will never be sufficient to cope permanently with the evils against which they are directed. Sir Benjamin has probably exhausted all the powers with which the law invests him, and employed the only machi nery at his disposal. If so, it only remains to him to mature such further legislative provisions for the consideration of Parliament in the next session as shall supply the present defects of the law. That such defects exist is but too obvious ; and until they are remedied the cholera will continue ever and anon to assert its supremacy among us, be cause, till then, we shall never succeed in destroy ing its strongholds. PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY. Her Majesty's ship Royal William, 120, Captain King combo, was towed on Sunday from Plymouth Sound by the Confiance and Pike steam-vessels into Hamoze, where she was replaced at her moorings in ordinary. The Colossus, 81, screw two-decker, Captain Robinson, has received her crew from the berthing hulk in Portsmouth harbour, and gees to Spithead, where she will dress ship, man yards, and salute when the Queen and Court pass through from Osborne to London en route to Scotland to-morrow. The Journal de St. Petersburg of the sth contains an article imputing the greatest inhumanity and ingratitude to the English in their treatment of Russian prisoners. It is singular that to sustain this charge the Russian court journalist should be compelled to resort to the testimony of a Greek. The Journal says : The acts of brutality which the English had not blushed to commit during the present war precluded all misapprehension with respect to the deplorable lot of the prisoners, who should be so unfortunate as to fall into their hands. Our painful forebodings on this head have been but too fully realised in the accounts supplied by the prisoners recently exchanged at Odessa. We have now before us the statement of Mr. Nicolas Lazaro, the. Greek master of a vessel captured on the 2pth of April, by the squadron under Admiral Lyons, with the crew and a portion of the regiment of Bala clava, which was at the time on board. The master's narrative contains some interesting details concerning the behaviour Of the English to their prisoners. The captured vessel has been placed under the com mand of an English officer. While preparing to weigh anchor the captain of the English frigate. Highflyer on board of which Mr. Lazaro and Major Vassilieff had been conveyed, summoned the two prisoners, and di rected them to go on board their own vessel, and fetch their property. Mr. Lazaro, on proceeding there found the cabin strewed with fragments of boxes. His own, which among other effects, had contained 351. sterling, and 28 gold five-ruble pieces, had been as unceremoni ously treated as the others. The property of Major Vassilieff had also disappeared. Among the remains of broken trunks lay images also broken and stripped of their silver mounting. On returning to the English ship, the senior officer inquired if they had secured their property, to which they replied that they had not found anything but broken boxes and images de spoiled of their mounting. This answer seemed vastly amusing to the English officer, who laughed, and turned away. _ _ Hornet, 17, screw, Commander Campbell, removed her powder and shell, and came into harbour this morning.

The defect has not yet bean ascertained ; the evil is, no doubt, at the end of the propelling shaft, and it is possible something in the shape of a nail has got inside and made a fix of it. Part of the shaft will, in all probability, have to be removed. Sphinx, 16, paddle, Commander Priest, is refitting in harbour. • After the experience of the last two or three and twenty years, it cannot be doubted that this epidemic is either the direct produce of filth, or finds in filth one of the invariable conditions of its existence. Just as the sweating sickness, which used to carry off its thousands and tens of thousands in the fifteenth century, was the terrible punishment with which nature visited personal uncleanliness, so the cholera has sprung up in the nineteenth century to teach us the necessity of maintainincrour towns and habitations free from pol lution. We may be slow in learning the lesson, but, sooner or later, we must learn it. If we are wise, 'then, we shall betake ourselves to the task at once, for the school of experience is an ex pensive one, and will make us pay in life and trea sure for our obstinacy or stupidity. The moral which the cholera teaches is simply, "R emove your nuis ances ;" and to the enforcement of this duty all the efforts of sanitary legislation tend. The most important of all instruments for effecting this is unquestionably an efficient sewerage, and yet we know how little, or how unskilfully, it has been used in our towns. In London we long prided ourselves on those granite-paved subterranean drains which were pronounced as wonderful as anything above ground in the metropolis ; but this satisfaction was unfortunately never marred by the reflection that their foul contents were dis charged into a tidal river, and were thus kept in the very heart of the town. The discovery of this oversight is recent, and although we are now on the eve of commencing colossal works which will effectually carry off all the refuse of our dwellings, many years must elapse before they are completed, unless much larger sums are devoted to them than are now at the disposal of the Sewers Commis sioners. The steam-vessel Rhadamanthus, which left Plymouth on Sunday with stores for the Black Sea fleet, for convey ance to Deptford, took with her from the Impregnable, for conveyance to Sheerness, the captain and crew of the Russian barque Carle, captured in the channel by the steam-vessel Avon. Vivid, Master Commander Allen, went over to Osborne this day at noon with the Spanish ambassador, on a visit to her Majesty at Osborne Palace. Fanny, tender, has received her new mast to-day. The Vifredo, iron screw, Captain Costello, hauled into dock to-day for examination. She presents a most powerful bottom for stowage. The water had not sufficiently left the dock to discover the mischief caused by her getting ashore at the Owers. The prisoners, who had at first been distributed among the various vessels of the fleet, were afterwards transferred to the English steam-ship Sidon, and despatched to Constantinople. Mr. Lazaro then learned from the accounts of his fellow-captives, that those among them who had enjoyed the good fortune to find themselves on board French ships were loud in their commendations respecting their trektment. The Russian officers had been admitted to the table of the Fi•ench officers, the soldiers had been well fed, and even treated with wine and rum. Seeing the prisoners for the most part without shoes, and completely ragged, the French manifested their astonishment, and when they heard that they had been entirely plundered by the Eng lish, they expressed themselves concerning their allies in very uncomplimentary terms, saying that the latter had behaved on the occasion in a !shameful and insufferable manner. On the other hand, the prisoners on board the English ships complained that they had been treated with harsh ness, and very inadequately fed. At first they had only received a pound of bread, and a small portion of salt meat, scarcely eatable, and even this scanty ration was afterwards reduced one-half! As for Mr. Lataro, he declined to receive his share, contenting himself with some biscuits which some of his sailors had managed to secure. There , are, however, many nuisances which sewers cannot, or are not, allowed to reach, and these will need not merely the incessant watch fulness of our sanitary officers, but more strin gent and summary legal powers for their suppres sion. Nothing, for instance, can be more discre ditable to the law of a civilised nation than the toleration of unwholesome trades in the midst of a densely-crowded population. It is true that Par liament prohibited, some years ago, the future esta blishment of such trades in such places ; but it has done nothing to prevent the perpetuation of those previously existing, and which are at present effec tually protected by the best of all titles, known to English courts and Englishmen—long user. These firmly-rooted nuisances, however, must share the fate of other sources of injury to human health. The bone-boiler or knacker may aver that, when he built his premises, no human habitations were within the reach of his deadly influence, and that he is not to blame, and ought not to be damnified, if others have deliberately taken up their abode at his gates. This plea, however, cannot avail him against the paramount principle—salus populi su prema lex. If he desires t 9 carry on his business undisturbed, he must fly to the wilderness and en trench himself there in a camp sufficiently spacious to confine within its limits all the deleterious effects of the elements which he has let loose. The owner of one piece of ground has no right, in ab stract justice, and- ought to have none in law, to corrupt the atmosphere which is to be inhaled by the occupiers of another ; and the prescription which he would set up in support of such a pre tension ought to be fully met by the more sacred and imprescriptible right of every man to the pure air of heaven. The evil under consideration is a very serious one, and urgently demands the im mediate attention of the Legislature. If a bail law has given men a vested right to destroy the constitutions of their neighbours, that right, we suppose, must be purchased from them, just as the right of holding negroes in slavery was purchased from our planters ; but it cannot be suffered to continue much longer, for life, after all, is quite as precious as liberty. If all the tall chimneys which vomit abominations over the town between West minster and Vauxhall bridges have a valid title to pollute and poison our dwellings, let the Sheriff of Surrey empanel a jury by all means, and assess the pecuniary value of the privilege, and let the amount be paid by the ratepayers who suffer from it. If the law does not sanction such nuisances, let them put them down vigorously and summarily by summons, in forty-eight hours—not by indict ment, in six months. Some days after their arrival at -Constantinople the prisoners were again transferred to the English screw steamer Bangor, whose commander gave them a sorry welcome, and treated them very rigorously. The Russian officers were not admitted to the English officers' table. One day some •of the Turks came to see the prisoners, and a young officer, who in troduced himself as the son of Osmar Pacha, an nounced that he had orders to prepare for them an old vessel which happened to be at the Admiralty, and that if they were placed there he would endeavour to treat them well, because his father, who was a prisoner in Russia, had written to him that he had himself experi enced the best of treatment. Thus we see that 'while a Turk cherished the disposi tion to discharge a debt of gratitude, the English trample under foot. the must sacred rights of humanity, and ignore even the obligations which reciprocity commands. English prisoners have been treated in Russia in a man ner which has left them nothing to desire. Even the English newspapers, most bitterly hostile to us, have felt it a duty to admit this. Yet no compunctious voice has been heard by their companions in arms, convincing them how scandalous it is to plunder the Russian cap tives, to leave them shoeless and in tatters, and even to deny them sufficient nourishment. On the 7th of June, the prisoners were placed—not in the old vessel of which mention was made above—but in a Turkish barrack situated in the admiralty depart ment. Here they remained seventeen days , the provi sions supplied by the Engli s h b e i ng o f b a d quality. When the benevolence of the Greek merchants at Con stantinople, among whom also were certain Russian sub jects, came to their relief, that assistance was harshly prohibited by the English authorities. The Turkish admiral, Mustapha Pacha, came one day to this barrack, in company with an English officer, de signated Captain of the Port. The admiral made inquiry of the prisoners respecting their condition, and they com plained to him of their rigorous treatment, and very in ferior rations. The Pacha told them he would cause them to be better treated, and, turning to the English officer, he said : " If you wish to maintain these prisoners, maintain them properly. If not, let me know, and I will maintain them in such manner as we maintain prisoners of war." Then pointing out Captain Davydoff, commander of the Rus sian transport Aloupka, who had been made prisoner by the Turks, he asked him if he and his men were ade quately provided for. They all replied in the affirmative ; only M. Davydoff mentioned that he was destitute of wearing apparel and a bed. The Pacha hereon expressed his dissatisfaction to the party in charge of the prisoners, who the next day provided all that was necessary. This well-merited reproof which the English officer had the mortification to receive from the Turkish admi ral on the subject of the prisoners makes any comment of our own on the matter superfluous. It suffices for us to bring to the knowledge of the people of Europe that the English have carried their harsh treatment of prisoners even to that degree which excites the indignation of the Turks. It is time for all to understand the true practical value of those fine phi lanthropic principles of which the English delight to make so pompous a profession. But there are many ' nuisances which are by law easily removable, and which yet, from the means relied upon for the purpose, are but too often left unremoved.

Morning Chronicle. DESTRUCTION OF THE FO.RTIFICA- TIONS AT A LAND. LEDSIIND, Sept. s.—The fortresses that stood upon the Aland islands are amongst the things that were. Mines were sprung beneath them on the 30th and 31st August, and 2d September. The fort of Izee, after it had fallen into the hands of the French, as I already in formed you, was shelled from the Russian millwork. It took fire, and blew up on the morning of the 15th ult. Prasto was fired on the 30th ; its destruction was com plete. Three explosions took place in quick succession ; 011 the third the entire fort seemed to open out and then went upwards amidst a thick volume of smoke. All the hewn granite which formed the outer casing of its walls slipped over the tongue of land upon which it was built into the sea, leaving a heap of bricks and rubble on its site. Nottick was destroyed on the following day. The first explosion was like a clap of the loudest thunder, fallovred by four or five successive discharges not unlike a salute from heavy guns. Its walls visibly started on the first report, and these shot upwards, enveloped in a cloud of the heaviest and densest smoke, which floated heavily away over the ruins of Prasto. Stones and splinters came down hi a shower upon the surrounding rocks, and when the curtain of smoke had withdrawn itself from over the debris, two shaken portions of the circular tower were still standing, like solitary sentinels, over the fallen fort, and served only to render the pic ture of ruin more striking and impressive. The main work, or semicircular fort, was destroyed on Saturday evening. It was riven asunder by several grand explo sions. The whole appearance of the place from the ships now presents a melancholy picture of desolation, and bas lost all its distinguishing marks. The forts, so lately models of strength and beauty, are effaced from the landscape. The village, which formed so conspicuous n object in my sketch, has disappeared by fire , and the beautiful trees, so lately umbrageous, but now scorched and shorn, stand like dismal spectres casting off flashes of soot from every breeze. With the view of examining the interior for myself, I travelled through the island and was kindly received everywhere with marked respect by the kind and simple peasantry, whose houses of wood, generally one storey high, are emblems of purity and cleanliness. The thick woods afford them lots of timber to supply all their wants, and every farmer appears to be by nature a car penter and cooper. Every farm yard shows its heap of white chips and carpentry workshop. All their arrange ments, though rudely, are ingeniously fashioned, and wood is made to, serve many of their wants for which iron would be more suitable. The interstices, between the solid beams of which their houses are built, are filled with moss, and the windows are •generally double (an inside and an outside one) to defend them against the severity of the winter. Every room has its sepa rate stove, and the beds are generally grouped together in one room, w here they are built in tiers, close to the largo fire-place. ' The cultivation of the land is most creditable to them, and seems to have arrived at great perfection. Corn, rye, hemp, and potatoes were the principal crops we passed. Their domestic animals are of a small breed—the horses are remarkable for their beauty as well as their speed. The face of the country is beautifully diversified with wooded and mountain ridges. The sea, studded with innumerable islands, exuberantly covered with pines and silver birch, appear s from the main road like a chain of lakes. The fields, covered with fine pasturage, are enclosed by railed fences, and quiet little Lutheran churches show their spires now and then in sylvan scenes. The main road more resembles a private avenue through park lands than a common thoroughfare. The villages are merely a few farm-houses squatted together. For the last few days steamers have been running constantly up and down between Lea and Bomar $ Sounds, towing down flips and getting the , _ / 7Z,- - - L--L 7 APPOINTMENTS. Captain—Thomas L.

The Lynx, screw steam despatch gun-boat, Lieut.-Com mander J. P. Luce, in the basin at Woolwich, is now in so advanced a state that she will be out of the hands of the dockyard artizans to-morrow evening, and will leave early on Thursday morning for Greenhithe, to have her com passes adjusted for sea service. She has already on board, mounted and ready for use, her two 68-poundor.oval guns of 95 cwt. and 9 ft. long, and four 12-pounder howitzers, with a large supply of 68-pounder shot. On her arrival at Greenhithe she will receive her supply of gunpowder and live shells. The engines, by John Penn and Son, have been completed some time, and everything has been done to make ber thoroughly complete and in good order for starting. THE RUSSIAN PRISONERS. The Hannibal, Commodore the Hon. F. W. Grey, ar rived at Sheerness yesterday at 2.30 p.m., from Brest— she arrived at Brest, from the Downs, on the night of the 7th ; she was subjected to a strict quarantine of five days. The prisoners were transshipped into transports and con veyed to Rochefort. The following officers were brought home from Bomarsund by her—viz., Colonel Turnheilm, Lieutenant-Colonel Kraushold, Captain Knosring, Capt. Bark, Captain Fomin, Lieutenant Chatelain, Lieutenant Brofelt, Lieutenant Wolkoff, Lieutenant Borisoff, and Johan Ernold ; the latter-named gentleman was a Polish officer, prisoner to the Russians in the fort at Bomarsnnd, and released by the admiral's orders on arrival in France. There were also 288 rank and file, 10 women, and 3 chil dren. Nineteen deaths among the Russian soldiers took place on the passage home. There have also been 19 deaths among the suiip's company. With one or tivo exceptions, officers and men have been on the sick list. Dr. Crawford, the surgeon, has proceeded to Chatham with 11 invalids for Melville Hospital. The doctor and the assistant-sur geon appear to have suffered considerably from constant fatigue in attending on the sick and dying men, as the Russian surgeons at the forts at Boanarstind made their early exit from the forts and escaped being taken as pri soners. The Hannibal left Brest on the morning of the 9th. On steaming for the mooring lighter, she had to cross the harbour tide into the eddy tide, by doing which the strong eddy tide caught her fore body and slowed her up into the streamage of the two tides, and, in endea vouring to clear the Minotaur, hulk to the Royal Albert, her port-quarter gig was smashed, and some slight damage accrued to the port quarter-gallery. The gig was lowered into the water, and, fortunately, no person was hurt, although one of the wardroom officers had a narrow escape. In consequence of some derangements in her machinery from wear and tear, it will be necessary for the Hannibal to be placed in dry dock at Sheerness. A question of some importance arose yesterday among the gentlemen cadets, prisoners, most of whom are the sons of gentlemen, under training in the ranks to serve as sub-lieutenants ; it was, whether they were entitled to their parole, and to receive their subsistence money 'the same as the lieutenants. There are in all 16 of them, and they express great sorrow that at present they have no privilege beyond the common soldier —the service instruc tions making no provision under a sub -lieutenant. This rank they claim, as they were entitled to all the privileges of sub-lieutenants in their own service. An especial ap plication will be made to the authorities on their behalf on this subject immediately. Non-commissioned officers have kindly been granted a day's parole occasionally for their health, and the officers in charge wish to give all reasonable indulgences. There are women among them on board the Benbow. The husband of ono (a common soldier) was killed at the taking of Bomarsund ; the hus band of the other (a common soldier also) died on his pas sage home in the St. Vincent. The former woman is near her confinement, and is in very delicate health. A cabin is appropriated for her by Lieutenant Commander Everest, and every attention shown her that her situation requires. Fresh cases of cholera are daily making their appearance on board both ships. The following aro the names of the gentlemen cadets : Carl Scanberg, Alexander Ekman, Carl Ranau, Frans Wahlborg, Gustaf Lindsbrom, Carl Tarnroth, Gustaf Freij, Carl Forssgard, Wilhelm Gronholm, Pavel Potraff, Alexy Sveroff Muttoy off - Fejdoroff, on board the Devonshire, and cadets Ferfobrom, Aisspegrin, Sandberg, Bjarhbomt, and Wausin, on board the Benbow. These gentlemen, 17 in number, have appealed to their senior officer at Sheerness, Major Grahn, of the Finnish Grenadier Company; to inte rest himself on their behalf to obtain their parole and sub sistence. ' THE FINS AND THE RUSSIANS. The Finnish soldiOrs were yesterday separated from the Russian soldiers, and also the Russian Jews from the Fin nish Jews, each being placed in separate messes, by order of Lieutenant-Commander Everest, who took the greatest interest in meeting the wishes of Lieutenant Hook of the Finnish Artillery, who went on board yesterday for the purpose of distributing pay to the soldiers, due up to the time of the capture of Bomarsund. The Russian prizes Mazeta and Fortuna, taken by her Majesty's steamers Amphion and Archer, are now being worked home from Memel, in charge of prize crews, in order that they may be legally condemned by the Court of Admiralty, and sold for the benefit of their captors. The Algiers has gone to Devonport, there to be docked, preparatory to her proceeding to the Black Sea. Mr. Aitchison, surgeon, and Mr. Herbert Johnston, pay master, have taken up their commissions, and joined the Benbow prison-ship. Several hundred beds and blankets were takon on shore from the St. Vincent on Monday, and buret on Rat's Island. The same order has been given on board her Ma jesty's sloop Sphinx, where the prevailing epidemic has been raging. TRANSPORTS FOR THE BLACK SEA, &c. Yesterday the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty took up steamers of from 700 to 800 tons' burden to convey victualling stores for the use of the army invading the Crimea and the fleet in the Black Sea ; also for the con veyance of 300 tons of heavy shot and shell to Malta, 40 tons of Ordnance stores to Sydney, and 9 tons to Melbourne and Port Philip for the defence of those colonies. It is now under the consideration of Government, at the in stance of the merchants of the United Kingdom, to permit the entry of all Finnish seamen taken prisoners during the war with Russia into the British merchant service. Such I as have been permitted so to enter, taken ont of the prizes captured by her Majesty's cruisers, have all strictly kept their parole, and conducted themselves to the entire satis faction of the shipowners. PROVISIONS FOR. THE BLACK SEA FLEET. In addition to the troops that the hired steani transport Nyfredo will take out to the Black Sea, she will also take out 2,800 barrels of beef and pork, several tons of bread and biscuit, and 300 dozen of port wine for tho use of the sick troops at Varna. It is reported that a portion of the 4Gth Regiment will embark in the Nyfredo. TROOPS FOR WINDSOR. The detachments from the 92d Highlanders are under orders to march from the Tower, as also those of the 88th, 38th, 23d, and other regiments, to strengthen the garrison of Windsor on the departure of the 46th Foot for the East. good.

The ship s manned yards and cheered him on com i ng on board and on leaving ; both English and French Sag-ships saluted him with 17 guns. He left immediately afterwards. About ten transports (the Prince amongst them), seven steamers, two frigates, and one ship of the line, have left for France, in addition to those numbers, about 7 or 8 left since Wednesday last. The Sappers who were on board the Julia have been placed on board the Ajax (which vessel continues at Bomarsund), and are landed daily to complete what little work has been left undone. They are blowing up the new works which were com menced by the Emperor—such as the new barracks and the foundations of other forts—which had been in a state of progress. Some of the guns have been shipped on board our vessels. In a lottery for seven brass guns, the French got four, we drew three,and a forge. All the shot has been thrown into the sea. The Edinburgh, which left this place on the 30th ult., to try the effects of her broadsides against the walls of the fort, has bad only a partial trial. She fired against a solitary mass, which had been left standing, but, had been already shaken by the explosion. Large portions of the wall came down ; but it cannot be considered a satisfactory experiment by any means. It is a great pity that this ship and the fort had not a fair trial at each other ; and this opportunity no doubt would have been readily afforded to the Edinburgh by the gam son had she only gone in close enough to make the trial, while the walls were solid, and the Russians standing by their guns. It would, at the same time, have saved the Edinburgh a second trip up and down, and would have been more thoroughly satisfactory to the gunnery department of the service. Sir Charles Napier and Brigadier-General Jones, who went up to Bomarsund—the former in the Odin, and the latter in the Lightning—on the 30th ult., returned on Monday evening in the Lightning, which flew the admiral's flag pro tem., and is now rehoisted in the Duke. The Bull dog arrived on Sunday forenoon with the mail from Dantzic. The Princess Royal has been detached to the squadron in the Gulf under Admiral Plumridge. The transport Balmoral, with bullocks for the French, en route to Bomarsund ; the Chapman, of London, and the English yacht Heroine, arrived here on the 31st ult. The Cruiser has been sent to take the place of a French frigate, to mark a shoal in approaching this anchorage. The Holyrood arrived on the Ist inst., with a heavy mail of seamen's letters, and several bags of newspapers. The Nicolai left the same day, with French troops, for Calais. The Gladia tor towed The Heroine to Bomarsund (2d). The French hospital ship was brought down on Sunday in tow of a steamer. A Prussian steamer also arrived with stores for the French. Steamers are constantly on the move now, running up and down to Bomarsund, towing ships and transports outside, and relining in again to the an chorage. It puts one quite in mind of some of our home ports. A small Russian steamer, to the surprise of all of us, made her way through the islands, and appeared off Bomarsund in time to see the main fort blown up, on the evening of the 2d inst. She carried a flag of truce, but this I consider a piece of expediency on her part. Her real object, without doubt, was to see what bad been done to the fortresses, &c. She stated that she left Helsingfors with the view of embarking the wives and families of the Russian prisoners, and not having met an English man-of-war in her passage through the Gulf of Finland, she concluded the blc , ckade was raised, and she pushed en for Bomarsund ! The admiral was going to detain her ; but although her conduct was doubtful, he subse quently allowed her to return. We expect to hear from Revel in a few days. It blew furiously last night. Four French ships dragged their anchors—one got foul of the Duke, and carried away the dolphin-strike. A TURKISH TRIBUTE TO ENGLISH BENEVOLENCE. Yrom the Arnaltlteia, a Smyrna paper, of July 21.) Mr. Grenville Murray, attached to the British em bassy at Constantinople, who has been for the last eight months on special mission at Mytilene, left some days since for a tour in the Archipelago. The departure of this noble and philanthropic Eng lishman has caused. the greatest regret: But he has left ineffaceable traces of his presence amongst us, and has earned a most honest title to our common gratitude. During the three severest of the winter months he dis tributed food and clothes weekly among the • poor, and his house became a rendezvous for hundreds of hungry people, who could find no relief elsewhere. He exerted his influence with the local authorities to redress any grievance, and pleaded the cause of the helpless with inexhaustible kindness. He contributed to our schools, distributed prizes to our scholars, and founded among us a museum of antiquities. In his public speeches he addressed to us the wisest and most temperate coun sels, in the gentlest and most conciliatory language. Always polite and easy of access to all who had need of him, he was as ready with labour as with good words, and conquered the respect and affection of great and small. Rarely hail a man of a stranger nationality given such proofs of sympathy for a foreign people, and the remembrance of Mr. drenillle Murray will survive in the hearts of the Lesbians as long as his name, which is written in letters of gold on the walls of the museum which he has endowed. THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION. The preliminary arrangements connected with the meeting of the British Association in Liverpool are pro gressing most satisfactorily. The committee continue to receive fresh accessions of papers, and already there have been 300 sent in, the subjects embracing almost every qiiestion of interest to the man of science and the public generally. It is expected that some new and very important facts will be brought forward relative to deci mal coinage, to be followed by an interesting and ani mated discussion, in which some of the leading members of the associations are to take part. Many of the papers are to be illustrated by models, plans, diagrams, &c., several packages containing which have already been forwarded to the local secretaries, to be in readiness at the meeting. The programme of proceeding is as fol lows : Wednesday, Sept. 20.—General committee meeting at one o'clock. Mayor's dinner to the officers and council of the association at five o'clock. Address of the presi dent, the Earl of Harrowhy, at eight o'clock. Thursday, Sept. 21.—Sectional meetings. Soiree in St. George's Hall at eight o'clock. Friday, Sept. 22.—Sectional meetings.

The area intervening between the handsoine stone balustrade and the basement plat form on the east side has been almost cleared. The un7 sightly wooden paling, which, on the same side, divided the building from the street, has been very nearly re moved, and the aspect of the edifice hap consequently been much improved. The anomalous granite columns cn this side are now seen more in connection with the principal structure, aud - their incongruity becomes, if possible, less offensive. At the south end the ponderous gates enclosing the entrance to the portico have been put up and nearly completed. Interiorly the massive gas lustres have been suspended from the ceiling, adding, in some points of view, to the profusion of the general decoration. The outward casing of the organ has been almost finished ; and the temporary orchestra in front of it has been completed. The statue of George Stephenson, from the chisel of Gibson, has been placed in its niche, and companioned with one of Sir Robert Peel, by Noble.

He did so several times yesterday, and has already made an easy conquest of the good opinion of our fair countrywomen sojourning here in such numbers. His suite, reduced in size by the departure of the Prince and his attendants, gains considerably in picturesque effectiveness; nor can one well conceive a more admirable arrangement than that displayed in the turn-out, with the outriders leading the way, then the Emperor alone, gravely yet gracefully acknowledging the salutations of the humblest passer-by ; then the officers of his household in close order, behind them a small party of the Guides, and last of all the " CcnkGardes," a magnificent termination to the caval cade. •In this order they went yesterday morning to hear military mass celebrated at the camp of Honvault. 11 o'clock is generally the time at which the celebration takes place, brit on this occasion it was an hour earlier, and in consequence many of the sight-seers were disap pointed. Those who were present were greatly impressed with the spectacle. 10,000 armed soldiers worshipped God under the great vault of Nature, knelt down toge ther like one man at the elevation of the host, and joined their voices in the sublime music with which the Romish Church knows so well how to heighten the effect of her religious services. It was impossible to witness such a dis play without feeling the heart moved by it. The perform -3-ateefl'hree-fsffeessilit.ary -bands, the presence of the Ern parer, and the remarkable view commanded from the spot with the English Channel in front, and, beyond that again, the morning sun upon the chalk cliffs of our own coast— all added greatly to the imposing character of the spectacle. In front of ea c h encampment small chapels have been con structed by the troops; though rather roughly put up, they are servenot w i to th p ci o u i t n a t c o e u rtai t a n o u a r r i o c s i tesc differencet architectural effe i c u t i t v h e e n es o r s g , s a n n i ( sa l they of the French army and ours. At Chobham we had no sheltered space of any, kind devoted to religious services, and t when to wo h h e y thetoo kpopmlapceof the they were marked by a simpli citymilitary mass yesterday was in striking contrast. tadeverretiert4tothheeareasonimpeethhainpgelosi the e m ca ay mp b s eint resting n to them selves. I have as yet only visited those of Honvault and Equihem, but they are all constructed much in the same manner, and what is said of one may be taken as applying to the rest. ' The first thing that strikes a visitor with gard to them is, that they are intended to be p ennament, or, at least, to be used summer and winter for several years. The huts, which constitute their main feature, are quite as good, if not better habitations for human beings than those in - which the Highland peasant shelters himself from the storms of his native mountains, or which the Irishman shares with his pig. As for the kitchens, the new ones which are being constructed at Honvault are substantial enough to last out a very long war. They are built of brick, on the military pattern, with a chimney shaft in the centre, and places for cooking radiating there from in a complete circle. Provisions can be cooked by each for upwards of 500 men at a time. As may readily be conceived, the number of these chimney shafts, extending like one side clan avenue of small obelisks along the line of an immense encampment of mud huts, has a vary singular effect. But the important point which they establish is the permanent character of the arrangements which the Emperor is making, as if he contemplated a protracted war. Next to this first and deepest impression produced by a visit to the camps comes that of their apti tude for the purposes for which they are intended. The mud huts are, of course, not very luxurious habita tions to dwell in, but soldiers in all times have been obliged •to fare hard, and these structures show an amount of ingenuity in the cheap use of materials for making them which is highly instructive. The side walls are of clay, held together by a rough lathing of wood internally, and a thick coating of whitewash on the exter nal surfaces. The frame of the roof, roughly put together, is well thatched with straw. The tie beams of the rafters form a convenient open loft on which to stow away arms and accoutrements. From the entrance a passage way is kept clear to the opposite wall of the hut, thus bisecting it in two equal halves, and on each of these a sloping platform of planks, and supported from the ground by a very simple staging, gives room for six men to lie down. The hut therefore accommodates 12 men, 6on one side and 6 on the other, with their feet towards the centre, and their heads towards the end walls. An aperture above door, and another directly opposite, afford ample facilities for ventilation in summer, and may be more or less en tirely closed up in winter. The cost of the whole structure must be very trifling, and if any part gives way it can be readily repaired. As the full strength of the company in French regiments is 120 men, it takes 10 huts to house that number, and, accordingly, in the arrangement of the ca;ep at . Honvault it may be observed that the huts of each company stand in double rows of five each, with streets between and behind, as in our own service, those of the officers in regular order. A broad street, r unn i ng th e whole length of the encampment, separates the officers' huts from those of the men, the latter being in front and the for mer behind. Allthe rectangular distributions of an Ames kart city.are faithfully observed. The French army, however, does not satisfy itself with the Republican use of numbers in its camp directory, but appropriately leaves soldiers or visitors to find or fight their way through the camp by the names of the great battles which it won under the first Napoleon. Any adventurous stranger who finds his way out to Equihem will see as he passes along the lines ample evidences of the extent to which the glorious traditions of each corps are preserved. Besides the cheap and excellent shelter of their huts, the orderly manner in which they are arranged and the systematic plan upon which the streets of the different camps are laid out, it is worthy of remark that the telegraph is ceeried through them all-- not expensively put up, but still perfectly efficient, and placing each in instantaneous communication with the Emperor. From his hotel in the Capecure he can issue, without a moment's previous notice, any order that he de sires to see executed, and it is this power which he pos sesses and exercises of coming down upon people unex pectedly which keeps everybody around him perpetually on tho qui rive, It should b 3 stated that many of the mud huts not being finished, a considerable number of canvas tents are still used. These are of two kinds —one, the small one (capable of holding six), which the soldiers now carry about with them, and bivouac in, the other; a large oval-shaped tent, used before this bas introduced, in which 16 - men sleep, and which, of course, forms part of the bag gage on the march. Both are interesting to examine, partly as suggesting comparisons With our own bell tents, but still more as helping to form an opinion whether it would not be possible to improve greatly upon all existing arrange ments of the sort. Knowing what we do of cholera, and squeezing together so many men at night into small unven tilated tents, it seems hardly wonderful that the morta lity of that disease should recently have been so lament ably great in the East. As yet, neither at Honvault nor at Equihem have the troops had much time to decorate their encampment ; but they are-beginning to do so, and there is no want of amuse ments to keep them occupied. The strict religious feeling of the English people will be rather scandalised to hear that Sunday afternoon and evening are devoted in the camp of their allies to gaiety. Some play at bowling, others at " loto," and as the evening closes in officers and men repair to largo ball-rooms behind the lines, where (leucitg is kept up till 10 o'clock with great spirit, and, it is edilyefedr to add, with perfect propriety of manner. Excellent regimental bands perform in the orchestras, sen tinels stand at the different entrances, and officers are ap pointed special) , to see that decorum is strictly pre served. There seems to be no lack of fair partners ou these occasions, and among them, or at least looking ap provingly on, may nearly always be seen parties of our own countrymen and women, whose friends at home would doubtless be much scandalised at knowing the fact. The Emperor's movements are somewhat uncertain, but, as at present arranged, he will remain at Boulogue during the ensuing week, unless the promised visit to King Leo pold should bring him to the Belgian frontier. About the ISth Napoleon will leave Paris for Bordeaux, to which city the Empress will repair after leaving Biarritz. The Emperor then will bring the Empress to Paris, and will leave her at Compiegne, after which be will again visit the camp of the north and manoeuvre the troops. To-day, at 12 o'clock his Majesty rode out to the camp at Equihem, and inspected the troops there. It is stated that there will be a grand feigned battle in the immediate neighbourhood of Boulogne in the course of two or three days,which the attacking army will be supposed to ill carry the town by storm. The Emperor's splendid stud of horses excited the admi ration of the Prince's suite, and is not unworthy of notice in connection wiih the Emperor's well-directed efforts to improve the breed of horses in France. 'rho cavalry horses of the French ariny are mostly bred in Normandy, except the horses of the light cavalry, which come from Tarbes, near the Pyrenees, and which have a mixture of Arab blood. With many excellent qualities of endurance, the horses of the French cavalry are capable of great improve. ment in point of blood and bone, and Napolon's attention is unceasingly directed to this object. Large purchase s o f English horses are frequently made by his agents, and, seeing the prices which arc given for good steeds, and the rivalry which exists between the buyers for the French and German Governments to secure the best animals, some astonishment is expressed that English farmers do not more generally avail themselves of the facilities they possess for rearing first-rate horses for ,ain and so good a market. Besides the louse so °w. f . the Emperor, he has a stud and breeding u o establish ment at St. Cloud, at which colts of d. value are veered from a mixture of Is l.extra extraordinary ng ish and Arab blood. The Imperial stables at Boulorme which are in close proximity to the Hotel B • rpylaton the Emperor's residence, are an extemp ore construction' of wood, erected in 15 days, but'extreweiy co nven i ent and well-arr a nged, and covering nearly half an acre They c o ntain 36 English saddle -ho for the use round . horses suite, and visitors ; 36 carriage -horses for the Emperor's caleches, char-a-bancs, and other vehicles, and 30 post" horses. Th e Emperor's chargers, reserved for his exclusive use at revie ws and in the field, are six in number. They are all English, as are, indeed, the greater part of the saddle and carriage horses, and as their former names are retained, and every stall has the horse's name painted over the animal's Lead, the English visitor might forget that he was in a foreign country, and imasine that he was walk ing through the stables of some Englieli bl m h ra m a s il. called Emperor's favourite steed is 2s dark chestnut • e Phillips, after Mr. Phillips, of Knightsbridge, of whom . hint.
