Department of the Comptroller for Victualling and Transport Services, Somerset-place, 12th September, 1854. THE Commissioners for Executing the Office of Lord High Admiral of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, do Hereby Give Notice, that on MONDAY, the 2lith instant at One o'clock, they will be ready to treat with such persons as may be willing to Contract for suolying and delivering into her Majesty's Victualling Stores at DEPTFORD and GOSPOta, the undo r-mentioned articles, viz. THE OVERLAND MAIL. lordship directed that he should be accommodated with a seat. The trial occupied five days, and on Saturday evening last the jury returned a verdict of " not guilty." Captain Haines, however, is still in custody, as the Judge-Advocate-General inti mated to Sir C. Jackson that be was not decided as to whether he would prosecute Captain Haines on any of the other indictments or not. H.s lordship has appointed this day to hear tile Jtuige-Ad voeate- General's determinc.tion. GATernor and Cum-; mander-in-Chief continue at Poona. We regret to say that there is a report current that the ship William Gibson, which left this port for London on the 17tli instant, has been lost. We are at all times chary of placing confidence in idle rumour, but the sources from which we have heard of this mishap leave but little margin to doubt its exactitude ; however no official notice has yet been published, and we suppose we must say that the report requires confirmation. The money market is easy, and the prospects of trade most favourable. We have much pleasure in giving publicity to the subjoined notification, which will appear in the next Government Gazette : AMERICA. upon a solid basis ; and, in short, that this war, entered upon not in the spirit of conquest but made imperative for the honour and safety of all, was only undertaken after Europe, represented by a sort of grand jury, had pronounced with unanimity against the guilty aggressor a sentence which it would have been disbosourable not to execute. France and England could not shrink before that consequenCe. United in action as they had been in Opinion, the two great maritime Powers share the glory of the vigorous resolution which forms the security of the present and the guarantee of the future. Assuredly, the relations of good neighbourhood be t Ween England and France do not date from yesterday. Long years of tranquillity, the progress of enlightened views, and more frequent relations between the two people, had weakened national antipathies ; but this happy change was more rapidly effected among the supe rior classes than in the mass of the people, and there was a long step from such a state of things to the fraternal relations which now so closely unite the two nations. The transport of our troops to the Baltic in the English fleet, id the enthusiasm which the visit of the Emperor on the occasion excited, had already proved to Europe the intimacy of our alliance. The visit of Prince Albert to the camp of Boulogne, and the cordial recep tion he experienced from our population and our soldiers, formed, as it were, a final and solemn consecration of that alliance. The records of history added still more to the significance of this great event. Upon those very localities which had been the scene of our former struggles the union of the two people seems to have I been effected by a closer tie, and the forgetfulness of the past was rendered more complete. We must do theEnglishGoo hasten vernme su ntt ch a desirable he justice of saying that it spared nothing to union. From the first announcement of the re-establish ment of the Empire, when others were undecided-as to - - the course they should adopt, England did not hesitate. On his part, the Emperor, made wise by history, and faithful - to the idea of his uncle, who so eloquently de plored the evils whi c h England and France had created by their divisions, while their union would have been so profitable to their interest and to the cause of humanity, was desirous to free the second half of the century from the calamities which had desolated the commencement of it. Thanks to the good faith which has characterised the relations between the two States, the policy which wisdom dictated to them has triumphed, without either having sacrificed its interests, its independence, or its 'dignity. Old a n tip a thi es h ave suddenly given place to reciprocal friendship and esteem. The attacks of public journals have been turned into united gratitude and ad miration. The alliance formed not only between the Governments, but between the people, is now consented by the blood which their soldiers and sailors shed toge ther for the triumph of the most noble cause. The causes which led to the adoption of this alliance guarantee the duration of it, and the results which ithas already produced indicate with sufficient clearness the consequences which may be expected from it. We have received, by the overland mail, de spatches from India and China, a telegraphic sum mary of which appeared in The Sun of Saturday last.

The Turnerbund Jubilee at Lemon-hill attracted a great throng to-day. All was very pleasant and quiet until about the close of the festival, when a quarrel occurred be tween two Germans on the platform, where dancing was going on. The police interfered to separ a t e th e combatants, and in carrying off one of the prisoners used him rather roughly, when his friends inter fered, and a grand row ensued. The police, being hard pressed, fired their re volvers, and several Germans were wounded, and many of them were badly beaten with billies. Officer S. Mansfield was stabbed, and officer J. Parker was severely injured from the hard blows he re ceived. The Germans used fence rails in assailing the officers. GI BEAT WESTERN RAILWAY.

The Governor in Council cannot allow the recent manifestations of loyalty awl attachment to the British crown and government by the population of Bombay to pass without an expression of his satisfaction and gratifi cation. 2. The circumstance of large and influential bodies of the native community responding to the invi tation of the Most Noble the Governor-General in Council, and coming forward voluntarily to observe a day of prayer for the success of the British arms and the restoration of peace, must be in the highest degree gratifying to all who are friendly to the British Govern ment and favourable to the •cause which it has espoused. The Governor in Council will not fail to bring this 'honourable fact to the notice of the higher authorities both in India and in England. The Bengal litirkaric of August 4 says :-" Re ports are rife of the withdrawal of seven 'of her Majesty's • regiments from India for service in Turkey, and there seems no reason to doubt that several corps have received private warning to hold themselves in readiness for service. As a natural consequence of the above there are strong rumours of an increase to the Company's European infantry, and other circumstances tend to confirm the beliet prevalent in well-informed quarters that an aug mentation is about to take place."

The essontial object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con- Sequences resulting from certain habits, irreg ularities, and in e x cesses, Which have produced more misery in Yout h, degradation Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, an y other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its peru sal _ is Particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret dou bts tthheeirhspahlysth, happiness , icalcondition, and who are conscious of having haza rdedb entitled. and privileges to which every hum an being is It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there are Principles of personal management which cannot be violated without i ncurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret su cceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indnigence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, that there is sca rce ly a ny degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have Unfortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant eulPirics, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place aith in their pretensions.

Total number o 1 Policies granted from December, 1852, to Dvembe , , 1853 —1,194. Under the following heads are briefly enumerated the leading principles of this society : OBJECTS Of THE SOCIETY. 1. A Life Assurance may be effected either by One Payment, or by an Annual Premium. 2. Policies may be effected WITH or without the privilege of withdrawing one-half of the Annual Payments. If with out this privilege, the rates are lower. • 3. A Lite Assurance Tray be effected on the life of another, on Joint Lives or Survivorships. 4. Annuities, Immediate, Deferred, or Contingent, will be granted ; also Endowments for Children. 5. Naval and Military Men, not in active foreign service, as sure without extra charge, and allowed to go abroad with out forfeiture of Policy, on payment of an extra Premium, according to climate. In the event of the Assured (when on the Withdrawal System) not requiring to continue the Policy, on its surrender one-half the annual payments will be returned by way of purchase of his interest therein. By this mcans, apprehension of great pecuniary loss and doubt as to the intrinsic transferable value of each Policy is re moved. its cash value being fixed and determined beforehand by the Society at one-half the annual premiums paid thereon • a vast class of society will thereby be admitted; and every individual, while steadily pursuing one object —a provision f^r his family at death— will have, by the plan of this Society, a door open to his savings, which will never be closed avainst his wants or his use.

If wood and iron could hold through the gale, which the Lady Nugent must have en countered on the 24th and 25th of May, there is every probability that she has not gone down at sea. The vessel was rebuilt in 1843 of teak and saul, and was classed A 1 at Lloyd's for ten years. In 1853 she was replaced on the 1.:111110 number for three years more, a fact which sets all doubts as to her seaworthiness completely at rest. She was carefully surveyed again at Madras before being taken up by Government, and found to be thoroughly provided with all necessary stores. The probabi lity is that she has been driven on shore' on the weather side of the Andamans,. a fact which will account for the absence of any iutellgence as to her ' fate, as it would be impossible for the crew to communicate in that case with the Burmese or Tenasserirn coast. It would be idle to say that no fears need be entertained as to the safety of the passengers and ship's company, but the balance of probability is beyond all question in favour of their present existence. Energetic efforts are to be made to raise the electric telegraph in Pegu. Major Durvernet, of the trigonometrical survey, has been appointed superintendent, and it is ex pected that the posts will be erected by February next. After being once established from Rangoon to Prom e , it w ill be carried across the Arracan mountains, by Chittagong, to Calcutta. At Ran goon there was gl-eat activity in the dockyard, about 20 large gunboats being in course of building. From Central Asia we have nothing of im portance to report. The Persians are said to be strengthening themselv'es at Merw, and the Rus sians continue to negotiate with the Herat chief, who has been complaining to Dost Mahomed that the Candahar chiefs continue to despoil him of portions of his territory. From the Punjaub we learn that the Afreedees in the Kohat Pass are still engaged in settling dif ferences among themselves. Some travellers hav ing been robbed in that pass, the Deputy-Commis sioner of Kohat made a demand for compensation, and finally shut up the pass, preventing all trade. One particular tribe only, it seems, had been guilty, and all the tribes in the pass met, with the inten tion of considering the matter, and punishing the offender. A correspondent of the Bengal Harkaru, in reference to the matter remarks—" You have heard, I dare say, that Captain Coke has shut up the Kohat Pass once more (about a week ago). Some men were robbed in the Pass within the Akhor boundary. The deputy-commissioner of Kohat called on the people of Akhor for compensa tion, according to treaty. They made lame excuses, and the deputy slammed the door of the Pass, and bolted it with the usual blockade, declaring there should be no more trading with Kohat or Peshawur for Jack Afreedee, until he came to terms. Explanations soon ensued, and it appeared that a feud had been raging between Akhor and Bostee-khel, with various ups and downs of manslaughter. The men of Bostee-khel proving the strongest, set some of themselves to commit robbery in the Akhor district, and so got the Akhorees into trouble. Akhor did not mind paying the amount leviable as compensation for the loss inflicted on the travellers, but thought the same thing would occur every week, and become ruinous ; so Akhor declined to pay, with a view to a parliamentary inquiry. And at this moment all the tribes of the Pass and their allies are holding a punehaeet on the feud, with a view to punching Bostee-khel's head. The row is all among the Afree dees themselves; and until they settle it, their trade is most effectually stopped. Gradually they will learn that their own interest is to keep order." We formerly announced that the electro-telegraphic cable had been carried across the Bens, and have now to mention that everything is ready for placing a cable of three miles in length across the Sutlej. At the last meeting of the Paris Exhibition Com mittee at Lahore the display of local manufactures was said to be very creditable, and a large collec tion will he sent down to B,Aubly to be forwarded to Europe. Many merchants in the Punjaub have signified their intention of forwarding goods to the Expositi on on t h e i r own account. Large quan tities of English iron have reached Atok for the suspension -bridge to be thrown across the Indus. Mr. Colvin, it is stated, has sent in a proposition for constituting Nainee Tal the vir tual capital of the north-west provinces, that is for making it the seat of government, and for building a suitable residence for the lieuenant governor, with accommodation for the public offices. Among the obituaries is that of Mr. Philip _Melvin, of the Bengal civil service, who had been for nearly five years secretary to the late board of administration for the affairs of the Punjaub. In some parts of the Nizam's dominions serious ap prehensions of a famine are entertained, if the country be not speedily visited with more abundant supplies of rain. The Nizam's cavalry volunteered their services to the Governor-General to be em ployed in any part of the world where they might be needed, but with thanks their offer was declined for the present. An attempt was made at Hydera bad, by seven Jemadars, to place the Nizam's De wan in confinement, in order to force from him the payment of certain arrears due ; but the project having been betrayed the minister immediately ap prehended all the conspirators, of whom Vendrut Ali Khan, the chief of the Rohillas, was one. The prompt action of the minister, the authority which he has shown that he possesses, and the submis sion of the great Rohilla chiefs, are facts full of promise for the quietness of the future. All the new arrangements in regard to the Hyd era b a d contin gent have now been carried out. The Resident has the power of appointing native officers, while the same powers in regard to English officers are in the hands of the Governor-General. The Resident has now, for his guidance in military matters, a military secretary, draWing a salary of 1,500 rupees monthly. The contingent itself is to consist of not less than four field batteries of artillery, 2,000 cavalry, and 2,000 infantry, the command being vested in two brigadiers, one having his head-quarters at Aurun gabad, and the other at Bolarum. It is expected, however, that in a short time there will be only one brigadier. The whole financial economy of the Contingent is placed under the direct control of the Bengal departments. The Madras government, we are informed, have taken up the subject of improve ment in native agriculture, and purpose offering prizes, &c., to encourage improvement. Lord Harris has postponed his visit to the Godavery.

It is said to be the first ease of cholera among Europeans which has oc curred, but that disease is not uncommon among the natives on those hills, as on those of Mahabu leshwur. From Calcutta the only items of in telligence are that Lord Dalhousie is expected to remain in India if his health permits until 1856. The Russian war is the reason assigned for his lord ship's stay. The Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal has proceeded on a tour of inspection, and is not expected. to be again in Calcutta before October. The Bank of Bengal has declared its 31st dividend. It is at the rate of 10 per cent, per annum. Sir Lawrence Peel has intimated his intention of leaving India at the end of the year, ill health compelling his lordship to resign. Of local matters we have not much to chronicle. The trial of Captain Haines, ex-political agent at Aden, for embezzlement, commenced on Tuesday, the 25th instant, before the Hon. Sir Charles Jackson. The jury were composed entirely of Europeans, the great majority of them being gen tlemen employed in banks, mercantile offices, and as auctioneers, and consequently well accustomed to accounts. Capt. Haines came to the court with his solicitor, Mr. Jefferson, near whom.he sat until his lordship took his seat on the bench, when he walked , T t b b e e r G e r e e g a h t f W are est i e n rn a THE GR E O A i T up W aiy E l STE b ß a N ve ß c A io n , w ed ar t:h — e into the dock and clerkbowe d d ul r y es s p w e o : r t n fu , l t ly he to the j o u f d the .

Baracouta had brought word from Shanghai, which she left on the 14th of July, that H.M.S. Encounter was going to scour the north eastern seaboard, where it was supposed the Rus sian fleet was to be heard of. The intelligence from Pekin is scanty, indecisive, and stale. In the interval of six weeks elapsed since former dates, there had been time for the insurgent forces to leave Nankin and gain the northern capital. The Pekin Gazette of the sth of June contains a memorial from Tsae-juy, recommending the applica tion for further subscriptions, in order to coin more copper cash for the current expenses of the Govern ment. He says that the outlay on account of the army is becoming enormous, while resources are exhausted, and difficulties increase. Hwuy-tsing- Wang and his fellows have applied for contribu tions, and have recommended the coining of iron cash, which have been brought into circulation, and proved satisfactory as far as the supply went ; but the memorialist suggests that the embarrass ments of the Government are daily becoming greater and greater—the demands upon the treasury are multiplied; while the resources of supply are dimi nished ; and although some relief may be afforded for a time, there is no prospect of returning plenty. Her Majesty's steam-ships Rattler and Styx reached Shanghai, on their return from Nankin, on the 7th inst. The Imperialists were courteous at Chinkeang and at Silver Island, and are said to be in con siderable force on both sides the Key of the Yang tsze." The large quantity of coal lying along the wharf at Nankin, which the steamers were anxious to secure, the insurgents would not allow to be touched on any consideration. They strangely enough alleged that it belonged to God, and it would be blasphemy to touch it. At Shanghai a lengthy correspondence has been published between her Britannic Majesty's pleni potentiarymnd British merchants, the latter pray ing that demands for arrears of duties may be brought against them, and tried in the Supreme Court of Hong Kong. To this request the pleni potentiary will not accede, and has told them that the only appeal from the consul's decision will be to him as the representative of her Britannic Ma jesty. Canton (says the Overland Friend of China of July 22) is now on the point of all anxiety, and though not in the actual possession of rebels it is apparently the next thing to it. As we write a letter arrives, written yesterday, from which we learn that firing and fighting had been going on on the hills in the rear of the city for several hours, and every one was anxious to see what the result would be. Business at a complete stand still, and all Chinese possessing the means moving away as fast as possible. The plans for capturing Canton appear to have been laid with much foresight and skill. All the troops that could be sent from the garrison were first attracted to the Tooug-koon dis trict. That being effected, Ho-Aluk, the rebel leader, then moved up the river towards Fat-shan, passing with a body of three thousand picked men, it has been ascertained, within a couple of miles of the foreign factories. Fat-shau (a rich town some 10 miles above Can ton) being occupied, and the residents laid under tribute, Ho-Aluk's bands now assail the Tartar encampment at the northward of the city. Two nights ago they made au attempt to enter the city at its northern and eastern gates, and not until they had captured two mandarins, and killed and wounded several others, did they desist from the attack. Before going to press, it is not unlikely that we may have to tell of the citadel having been taken and the regime of a couple of centuries brought to a close. For the protection of British property at Canton the Comus, 14 guns, is moored off the factories, and the sloop Racehorse is to go up from this to join her there in a day or two. The Americans have the steamers Queen and John Hancock and schooner J. F. Cooper, with a couple of chop boats, and some four score men from the Vincennes, at Whampoa. This force is strong enough to effect anything necessary. The French corvette La Jeanne d'Arc remains at Macao, where we trust she will stay until the Portuguese corvette Dom Joao re returns from Ningpo. French interests at Canton are not very great, and not likely to suffer much by the forthcoming emeute. French fingering of this Chinese bourbillon is strongly to be depre cated. From the coast we learn that the large and rich town of Suatow, in the Fokien province, has been burnt by a party who had taken possession of it. From the North China Herald, of the 15th, we take the following We understand that despatches were received on the 12th inst. at the British Superintendency and the Ame rican Legation, from the respective consulates at Ningpo, giving information that hostilities had taken place there between the Portuguese and the Chinese, the Portuguese corvette Dom Joao 1., with a fleet of 15 Portuguese lorchas, having fired upon the piratical fleet in the service of the Taoutae of that place, &c. As we understand it, the Portuguese corvette was despatched from Macao last May, to visit all the ports on the coast as far as Shang hai, and at the same time to settle at Ningpo some dif ficulties which had taken place between th e Portu guese and Chinese, and to claim from the l a tt er in demnification for two or three lorchas plundered an d c a ptured by the piratical fleet, which has for some time past been in the servkNingpo. The of the Ta ou t ae o f The corvette arrived at Ningpo about 24th of June, a and we are told that Captain Lopez made th e ne cessary demands, to which the Taoutae gave evasi ve re pliesha e t would pildrbaetiseeatltlfiedeetperoompemrleyn, commenced making , whilst at pre parations for a fight, landing their guns and mounting the same t them on the top of the city wall, threatening to blow the corvette out of the water if she attempted any attack. We have not got full particulars as to how hostilities first commenced, all we hear being to the effect that at 4 p.m. on Monday last the Portuguese were firing at the piratical junks, and at their defenc es on shore. It was rumoured at Ningpo that the Portuguese were going to land the next day and march into the city, the object being to seize the piratical chief " The American Protestant Association have as sembled at Newark, N. J., to celebrate the first sit ting of the American Congress. The various lodges of the order in New Jersey were in attendance and there were also severalfromthiscity and neighbour hood. It it said that there were at least 3,000 per sons in attendance. Nothing occurred to mar the scene untilafternoon, when, as the procession passed through one of the streets, it encountered a crowd of opponents, who saluted it with derisive shouts, and finally a stone was thrown, whick struck one of the Protestants. just at this moment, as it is related, several shots were fired from a Roman Ca tholic church in the immediate vicinity. The pro cession broke for the church instantly, and in a short time completely sacked its interior, despoiling the altar, and rendering it a complete ruin. A number of persons on both sides were badly hurt. The crew of the ship John Rutledge, now lying in harbour, bound for Liverpool, revolted on Sunday. The mutineers were on Monday brought before Mr. Commissioner Morton, and, after an exami nation, committed to prison. There is news from Mexico to the 22d ult. The Mexican papers assert positively that Count Boulbon was shot. Santa Anna had issued a decree enabling the religious orders to avail themselves of the civil tribunals to enforce upon the monks and clergy an adherence to their vows. By thelast English packet a dividend was remitted to the English holders of Mexican bonds. It is reported that Villareal, Al varez's next in command, and one of his most able supporters, died atAcapulco from wounds received in a late skirmish. Gomez, Alvarez's secretary, is also reported to have died. COMMERCIAL. NEW ToRK, Sept. 6.—There is not so large a busi ness doing in the fall trade as was expected, which is at tributed to the high price of money.

SOUTHAMPTON, Sept. 17.—8 y the Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Tamar, Capt. R. Revett, arrived this morning, at 6 o'clock, from the W es t Indies, with the usual mails, wo receive our usual despatches and papers. On her homeward voyage the Tamar experienced moderato weather. The latest dates brought by the Tamar are Greytown, Aug. 20; Chargres, 23; Demerara, 25; Trinidad, 25 ; Carthagena, 25; Jamai ca, 26; Grenada, 26 ; Barbadoes, 27 ; Jacmel, 28 ; Antigua, 29 ; St. Kitts, 29 ; Nevis, 29 ; Montserrat, 29 ; Porto Rico, 31 ; St. Thomas, Sept. 2 ; Tobago, Aug. 24 ; St. Vincent, 26 ; St. Lucia, 28; Martinique, 28 ; Dominica, 28; Guadaloupe, 28 ; Belize, 19. She has on board 123 passengers, including De puty Commissary General Rayner, Lieutenant Purcell, R.N., Staff Assistant Surgeon Thompson, the Marquis de San Andres, Count de Salazar, &c. The Tamar brings the passengers from the Wind ward Islands, left at St. Thomas's by the Atrate. The Tamar brings on freight 500,000 dollars, on merchants' account, 600 serous of cochineal, 2 packages vanilla, 67 bales of sarsaparilla, and a general cargo, consisting of 100 packages. The cholera was abating at Barbadoes. Sarnana, in the island of San Domingo, had been taken possession of by the Russians. A large fire had broken out at Belize, Honduras, which had destroyed between 90,0001. and 100,0001. value in property. The origin of the conflagration is attributed solely to accident. The following important intelligence is received from San Domingo :—The United States frigate Columbia, with a commodore's flag, attended by two other American vessels, a corvette and steamer, h ave arrived at the port of San Domingo, and have for mally demanded the cession to the United States of the port of &maim, with certain adjacent territory. A general officer, with one or more officers of en gineers, is also reported to be on board the Co lumbia. On the demand having been made on the Government of the Dominican Republic, the Bri tish and French Consuls immediately despatched express messengers to Port-au-Prince. From Jamaica we learn that cholera still existed in several parishes. His Excellency the Governor has issued her Ma jesty's proclamation, further proroguing the House of Assembly from the 29th of August to the 3d of October, but not to meet and proceed to business. In the Jamaica markets little improvement had taken place. In freights little offering. Exchange, for bills on England 'at 90 days, 60i per cent. prem..; 30, 1 ditto. FRANCE UNDER THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON 111. (From the Afoniteur.) France is now enjoying the fruits of the honourable and firm policy inaugurated by the Emperor. In spite of famine, epidemic, and war, the national activity has not been diminished and the public credit has not been shaken. Thanks to the wise resolution of the Govern. ment, so well seconded by the courage and confidence of the country, three of the most formidable scourges that can afflict a nation have been reduced, with the excep tion of losses to be for ever regretted, to the limits of passing difficulties. The epidemic is being extinguished ; the famine has been succeeded by an abundant harvest ; the war, commenced under happy auspices, inspires no more alarm than the ambition which created it. Within a short time the nations, faithful to their appointment, will re-assemble at Paris to take part in the pacific strug gles between industry and the arts. What an immense change has taken place in opinion as well as in position ! At the same time that France resumed in Europe the eminent rank which be longed to her, she witnessed the disappearance of that distrust of which the recollection of the past rendered her the object. That nation, against which every other country thought it had the right to cherish jealousy, has become by an unexpected change the most solid support of European order. It is no longer towards the north that weak or menaced States turn their attention ; and, what is'still more astonishing the fears which France inspired have ceased by the ac cession of him whose glorious name seemed calculated to awaken them. What has just taken place at Boulogne forms an indication more expressive than any words. To that shore, whence Napoleon 50 years ago menaced England, and whence he rushed to the conquest of Ger many, have come the Prince, the husband of the Queen of England, generals from all the States of Germany, and also the King of the Belgians and the King of Por tugal, to visit the heir of Napoleon. They were present as allies, as friends, at the manteuvres of an army which by its discipline and its bravery, still more than by the spot where it was encamped, recalled to recollection the Grand Army of the first empire.. The fact is, that every one is now aware that those valiant soldiers only threaten the enemy of the peace of the world ; that the memorable words of Bordeaux, which at first appeared irreconcileable with the reality, have become an incontestable truth to all ; that no one doubts that, with the causes of division which still exist in Europe, with the weakness of certain States and the hesitation of others, if France had not been satisfied with the re-establishment of its national Government, if her strength had not been concentrated in a firm and skilful hand, the question now to be decided in the East would have become the signal for one universal conflagration. It is because every one is convinced that a prompt and *argotic War wal the !Duly way to re-establish pew THE FRENCH ARMY. At a moment when the great Army of the North of France, under the personal command of the Emperor, is attracting much attention—when the war in which we are engaged gives an absorbing interest to everything connected with the military resources of the two coun tries—and when in England a variety of circumstances, and especially the late disclosures in the 46th Regiment, make us rather dissatisfied with the administrative sys tem of our own service, it may not be considered unpro fitable to sketch comprehensively the organization of the nighty force to which by land the safety and honour of our nearest neighbour and ally are intrusted. They have, like us, 100 regiments of infantry, o f w hi c h 75 b e l ong to the line, and 2 are light infa n t r y. B es id es t h ere t h ere are 20 battalions of Chasseurs-a-Pied, three regiments of Zouaves, three battalions of African Light Infantry, nine companies of Fusiliers de Discipline, three companies of Pionniers do Discipline, two regiments of the Legion d'Etrangeres, three battalions of Algerian Tiailleurs, three companies of Sous Officiers Veterans, and three companies of Fusilers Veterans. Each regiment is di vided into two bataillons actifa and one of reserve, or, as we should term it, a depot to keep up its strength. Each battalion is again subdivided into eight companies of 100 men each, including one company of Grenadiers, distinguisable by red facings ; one of Voltigeurs, wearing yellow; and six of the Centre, wearing green. Two regiments and a battalion of Chasseurs form a brigade, and two brigades a a division. The officers to a company are three—a captain, a lieu tenant, and a sons-lieutenant. Those to a regiment are a colonel, a lieutenant-colonel, three chefs de bataillon, one major, three captaines adjutant-major, one captaine tresorier, one captain d'habiliment, one adjutant sous lieutenant, one porte drapeau.sous-lieutenant, one tenant d'etat-major, and three medical officers. From these details it follows that each battalion is about 800 strong, or nearly equal to one of our regiments; that each regiment is about 1,600 strong, not including the depot; and that it has 48 officers attached to com panies, and 17 having. duties which comprehend the -whole body. With slight modifications, this ar rangement obtains regularly throughout the entire infantry force of France, but it may be mentioned that the Chasseurs-h-Pied, or, as they are more commonly called, the Chasseurs de Vincennes, have bat talions 1,000 streng,—an increase of numbers probably due to the dangerous and important nature of the ser vice which they have to perform. The cavalry force consists of 12 regiments of reserve, including two of Carabineers and ten of Cuirassiers ; 20 regiments of the line, including 12 of Dragoons and eight of Lancers ; 25 regiments of light cavalry, including 12 of Chasseurs, nine of Hussars, and four of Chasseurs d'Afrique. There are also three regiments of Spahis and four companies of Cavalrie de Remonte. Each cavalry regiment contains six squadrons of 100 men each, and should therefore at its full war complement muster 1,200 strong, but none are at present made up to that size. Squadrons have twice the number of offi cers required by companies of infantry, there being a captain-commandant, a second captain, and a first and second lieutenant, and two sous-officers. Each regi ment has besides, like the infantry, its colonel, lieute nant-colonel, and other officers having regimental duties including two chefs d'escadron, a captaine instructeur, and two veterinary officers. The Guides, the Spahis, and the Chasseurs d'Afrique have three chefs d'escadron and three capitaines-adjutant-major. There may be other modifications also in the organisation of the force, but, as a general rule, the foregoing distribution of it is pretty closely observed. The French army possesses an artillery divided into three classes—the first foot consisting of five regiments; the second monte au =Ron, including seven regiments ; and the third horse, made up of four regiments. There are also reserved corps, and a regiment of pontoniers. Each regiment contains five batteries, and each battery consists, like ours, of six guns, but, as formerly noticed, they are of considerably heavier calibre than ours, and, being adapted to throw shot and shell alike, the howit zer is dispensed with. It is stated that the Emperor had some difficulty in introducing this innovation upon the former practice of the service, but its value seems now to be generally admitted, and not the least of the advantages secured by it is that of uniformity—a great point in such matters, as any person who visits the Ord nance department at Woolwich will readily appreciate..n our We are reducing the varieties of calibres employed f service, but the rude r s e ta m te ain in s, of artillery guns still manufacture of w as hich com t p h a e re m d a w n knowledge of mechanics generally, renders it perhaps_ imprudent that we . should yet pin our faith to any fixed standard. The Emperor's new field piece at least ob viates those risks of mistake in ammunition a d ap ted for it, which not unfrequently arise where different sizes are used amid the hurry and confusion of warfare. The organisation of the artillery force in France, as in Eng land, demands a large staff of officers, including generals of division, generals -of brigade, colonels, lieutenant colonels, chefs d'escadron, captains of the first and second rank, lieutenants of the first and second rank, sous-lieutenants performing the duties of first-lieutenants, and sous-lieutenants-eleves in two divisions, who per form the duties of lieutenants of the second rank. The engineer corps of the French army is made up of three regiments—the first consisting of 11 companies, the second of 15, and the third of 12-38 in all, and officered like companies of the line. It is to do more than ' by which the t n c onsn effective strength of the French army is sustained, allude unnecessary, t o the in system a s k of h like riptitohnis e but, before passing to other topics, it may be permitted to point out that, while England, the least military of the European Powers, finds no difficulty in raising soldiers by voluntary enlistment, France, where the earliest instincts of enildren point to the army, is obliged to exact compulsory service from her sons, that she may be safe at home and respected abroad. What makes the contrast more remarkable is, that in the Eng lish army position and command are almost exclusively in the hands of the privileged classes, whereas in France there is nothing to prevent a young peasant rising from the ranks by merit to be a marshal. In the one country it is the only profession the upper ranks of which are effectually closed to ambition ; in the other it is the only ono that may be said to be entirely open. The amount of public feeling which has been elicited 'by the recent Courts-martial on Lieutenant Perry plainly shows that we are not indifferent to this view of the subject; for had we been satisfied with the manner in which our troops are officered it is not probable that the case referred to would have excited so much attention. It has hitherto ben discussed upon its individual merits ; but it is in reality only one example of the fruits of a vicious sys tem, to which, as the following details show, the organ isation of the French army presents a noble contrast. That army is placed by the Emperor under the supreme control of his Minister at War, who, for the time being, is Marshal Valiant. He has to assist hioi in the dis charge of his arduous duties a number of con sultative committees, th e members of which are se l e cted from the the General Staff. These take cognisance — one t infantry, an o th er o f th e cava l r y, anotheran. so on, including o f the artillery, an o th e r of th e f or tification., _ other including the health o f the troops and de partments. There is also a very bu well arranged in the series of bureaux for facilitating . s e The General various branches of the servi France, the Etat St if, or as it is called is marshals,Major of h in creased tOttlhe a rmy, i s ix A m t bers the oft headed h o o f m t i n times h i d s u i i s n t pe ac e t owf paresr nds the name of Prince Jerome Napoleon —a fact which it is only fair to mention, since it detracts somewhat from the claims of a system founded and apparently worked out upon the principle of rewarding merit, irrespective of family interest. The general officers belonging to the Etat Major are di v id e d i n t o t wo sect i ons, the one " active" the othe rin " reserve." The first consists of 80 generals of division and 160 generals of brigade. To that section belong all the officers filling the chief com mands of the empire. It also includes a large num ber of inferior officers holding, or qualified to hold, staff appointments, and who are thereby placed on a very favourable footing for promotion as com pared with others of the same rank in the army not so qualified. Up to the rank of captain they rise by seniority as vacancies occur in the Etat Major, but afterwards the rapidity of their career depends upon the merit and ability they display and the extent to which their services are appreciated by the Emperor and the Minister of War. Of course, under such cir cumstances there is great scope for favouritism, but, supposing access to the Etat Major at the outset care fully barred against stupidity and incompetence, the danger arising therefrom must be much diminished. This result is accomplished by rendering those alone eligible for the Etat Major who have passed through the special military school at St. Cyr, and taken the highest honours there. But, great as has been the care with which the Etat Major of the French army has been organised, that forams only a portion of the prevision which has been % made to secure for this splendid service the full benefit of the best energy and talent in the country. St. Cyr and the Polytechnic are liberally endowed with bursaries for the sons of distinguished officers, wLo qualify themselves by passing the severe preliminary examinations to enter. The cost of education, however, must place both institutions beyond the reach of many ; hmaovset servedm eppriootror portion o i n: s and in consequence the colonel of each regiment, with the sanction of the higher authorities, has the power to fill up one-third of the vacancies as they occur from the ffi nto c et appointments years.under Minister hinwrisothifreotivvl less s min e tedar th:e nd w colonel ho anothercgs has one the the power of trar i ng f rom on e • of regiment or arm the service to snot 'tie vacancies giving promotion occur. The last st w to ho hi ha ra ; - ' , appointments to the French army belongs to t a., of the Polytechnic and St. Cyr. The clever . the former, according to the ex aminations which they have passed, are appointed to the Government mines, the roads, and bridges to the En gineers, the Artillery, or, last of all, as officers of the line, for which, however, the abstract nature of their studies is not supposed particularly to adapt them. The students of St. Cyr, on the other hand, receive a special military education, and are perfectly drilled and trained as soldiers during the two years they remain at the school. The system of purchase is unknown, but where a man, otherwise willing to retire, is unable to do so from his circumstances, it is not unusual to buy him out.. Besides the educational establishments already mentioned, ',there are others which, though not car rying with them commissions, form important auxi liaries to professional excellences. Among these may be mentioned the Eccle d'Application de l'Artillerie [et du Genie, the Normal School for Tirailleurs, and that for Gymnastics at Vincennes. The Norman School for Tirailleurs is also worthy of notice in connexion with the constant practice which the French soldier has in firing at marks. Every year he receives 500 ball cartridges for this purpose. Among the different establishments connected with the organisation of the French army, that for military equipages appears to be for us one of the most important. There are five central establishments for the construction and repair of military equipages at Vernon, Chateau roux, Algiers, Oram, and Philipeville, with a squadron of men for each, and a large staff of veterinary officers. The Service de Santo of the French army is adminis tered by a staff including more than 1,000 men, and the military hospitals form a separate department, with a corps of 300 principal officers and first and second class adjutants. Clothing and camp material go together, and are supplied under the control of 70 officers and adjutants, while the commissariat engage the attention of 300 officers and adjutants. The chief seats of the artillery establishments are at Paris, Douai, Metz, Lafere, Strasbourg, Besangon, Lyons, Toulouse, Rennes, Bourges, and Algiers, most of these having schools in connexion with them. The manufacture of small arms and of gunpowder is included in the administration of this branch of service, which also extends its care to the formation of a fine museum and library. _ With reference to the Engineer Corps, its Led-quar ters are at Arras, Metz, and Montpelier, each having schools in connection with them. The great school for the application of artillery and engineering has already been noticed. The constitution of courts-martial in France has this peculiarity, that there mast be one member upon them of the rank of the accused, though his senior in stan ding. The stupendous and undue development which military profession has received in France to the great injury of its more peaceful and permanent interests fur. niches an example which England does wisely not to imitate as a whole, but there seem many important points in that system by which we could improve our own, and as the French army is adopting our plan of manoeuvring- in extended line two deep, we, on our side, need not be ashamed to copy improvements sanctioned by the usage of our great ally. No one who is at all acquainted with the immense development of the mate rial arts in England, and especially mechanics, can view with other feelings than those of disappointment and humiliation the undoubted fact that we are at presort a gazed in repelling the aggressions of the barbarous north with weapons of war which bear no proportion in their superiority to that which exists in the amount of intelli• gence and civilization engaged on either side. THE CAMP AT BOULOGNE. BOULOGNE, Sunday._— he Emperor left Bou logne yesterday, at 12 o'clock, by special train for Paris. The day of his return is not known with certainty even by his suite, but it is stated that he will arrive on Wednesday or Thursday to resume the grand manoeuvres of the army. It is said that the Emperor wishes to show the Empress to the army, and this rumour derives some countenance from the fact that preparations are being made in the Imperial Hotel for her Majesty's reception. The Empress, by her beauty, her affability, and her goodness of heart, has endeared herself to the French nation, and her presence could not fail to give great additional eclat to the proceedings of the camp at Boulogne. During the Emperor's stay at Boulogne tele graphic communications have daily passed between the Imperial Hotel and Biarritz, and when the Emperor and Prince Albert arrived at the camp of Helfaut, near St. Omer, a few days ago, a despatch was placed in the Emperor's hands which had only left Biarritz, at the other extremity of the empire, an hour and a half before. During the Emperor's brief absence the military manoeuvres will not be entirely suspended, and a petite guerre in the direction of Calais is confi dently talked of, but the arrangements are not yet completed. The grand sham battle, which will commence at Essceuil on the Emperor's return, will be on a vaster scale of completeness than any evolutions in which the camp have yet been en gaged. A day before his, departure the Emperor and Colonel Fleury were on horseback for 4 hours reconnoitring the ground between Escceuil and Devres, where the manoei oi. i wl v foh r gT e ainc s dhhe w m: - ill commence. The Emperor ascended the Mont du Courteau, which makes a part of the chain of hills separating the High from the Lower Boulognais. From this spot vast plains stretch before the eye, and the ground is seen Ito be admirably calculated for military manoeuvres of enormous proportions. After hav ing narrowly examined the ground the Emperor rode to Escceuil and took the road to St. Omer ) returning thence to Boulogne. The Emperor has determined that the troops shall when remain a i n u e camp m campaign p around Boulogne againstß Russia ss ia until w i n ll e next spring, uud er . tak e n .

General Hartmann, Aide-de-Camp to the King of Bavaria, and deputed by that Monarch to assist at the manceuvres of the troops under the personal command of the Emperor, was present at the grand review of cavalry and infantry at St. Omer on Thursday, and also at the review of the division of the camp at Honvault t on Friday. The Bavarian General was accompanied by officers of the Bavarian infantry, cavalry, and artillery. On the evening before the Emperor's departure the Prussian Gene ral de Wedell and General Hartmann were among the guests at the imperial table. REDUCTION IN THE PRICE OF BEES.—We Under stand that several of the principal wholesale brewers of this and the neighbouring city of Bath have reso l ved on reducing the price of beer, commensurate with the recent decline in the price of malt. It is also to be re gretted that the other portion of the purveyors of the " staff of life," namely, the bakers, are so backward in allowing the public to reap the advantage s con t inua on an abundant harreet.—Bri4l4 Mirror*
