The Colonel has expressed himself in strong terms of approbation of the appearance and working of the regiment, and complimented the Earl of ilchester on having under his command such an efficient body of men. .On Tuesday last Lieut.-General Sir John Bell, 1C.C.8., Lieutenant-Governor of Guernsey, inspected, at Port Regent, the Jersey corps of enrolled pensioners, under the command of Major Du Vernet, in the presence of his Excellency Major-General Love, Governor, of Jersey. The Cornwall and Devon Miners' Artillery Militia, having completed their 2S days' drill, were dismissed on Tuesday, and delivered up their kits and accoutrements at Pendennis Castie. Their advance and proficiency in drill have been commended by their Colonel, Sir Col man Rashleigh, and also by Colonel Andrews, the in specting officer of artillery for the south-western dis trict. The majority of the corps being miners, whose wages are good at this moment, there has been little or no disposition evinced to volunteer for permanent duty. ~ir/!

But all probabilities tend to attribute some such motive to the Furious ; and so, by way o f c l ear i ng u p the mystery, the batteries fire at her under a flag of truce as well as at her boat. " The expl ana ti ons we have thus given will serve to point out (r e / ever ) th e errors in the report of Admiral Dundas in re gar d t o th e same a ff a ir. He speaks of the fortress of Odessa—of the explosion of a powder maga zine ; and pretends that the town and mole which covered the merchant vessels were not struck. We will limit ourselves to referring to what has been said above on this subject." Now, without enteri ng i n t o any coun t e r explana tions on this subject, it is not possible to avoid regretting the tone of sar casm an d con t em ptuous superiority that pervades the greater part. This is certainly not the way to induce our admirals to repeat their act of forbearance, either a second time at Odessa, or elsewhere. However much extremes may be deplored, it is almost to be hoped that upon all future occasions they will either refrain from making peremptory demands, or, in case of refusal, persist in their chastisement so long as a stick or stone remains standing in the recalcitrant place, no matter whether it be or be not a place of war. All we have gained by forbearance is the above docu ment, and a universal impression throughout Russia that we were driven off crippled and terrified. 7% tWa IN N 314 Direct Trains from the Boats marked t Omnibuses from Fenchurch-street Station to all parts of London every quarter of an hour.

The Journal de St. Petersbourg, of the 23d inst., has the following leading article : "It is not without surprise that we have received (pris connaisance) the manner in which Vice-Admiral Hamelin describes the bombardment of Odessa, in his official report to his Government. "According to the terms of this report the combined Anglo-French squadrons destroyed the Port Imperial of that town, the establishments of the Admiralty, its ma gazines, barracks, powder magazine, and battery, with out the 30,000 men forming the garrison, or the 70 cannon of the fortress, or of its batteries, being able to preserve Port Imperial from this disaster. "In order to appreciate the truth of these assertions it suffices to say (that which cannot besides be unknown in Europe in regard to a town annually visited by thou sands), that there exists neither fortress, admiralty, nor port devoted to military purposes. That which Admiral Hamelin designates under the name of Port Imperial was formerly, in the days of Admiral Ribas, a military port. It has retained this name up to this day, but in reality it is nothing but a pratique harbour, destined to receive ships which have finished their quarantine in another harbour, into which vessels enter which are submitted to sanitary measures. Now, the mole of free pratique has not been destroyed. It still exists, as can be verified by all inhabitants and foreigners in the town. Its battery of four pieces maintained during six successive hours a combat, during which it had to return the fire of eight steam frigates and one corvette. It was at last dismounted ; but, if there be cause for astonishment, it is that it resisted so long, and that in despite of the number and heavy calibre of the guns'of the frigates, the work of destruction should have required six hours, in lieu of being accomplished in a few minutes. as might be supposed by persons having any knowledge of projectiles. This result of the enormous disproportion of force in combat does not in any way appear to justify the passage of Admiral name ,lin's report, wherein he boasts (proue) the immense supe riority of the practice of the Anglo-French cannon. We permit ourselves even to think that public good sense and historians' impartiality will, on the contrary, arrive at a totally different conclusion. As regards the pretended destruction of the Admiralty establishments, store-houses, barracks, and powder magazine, ' which blew up,' amidst the cries of Vive l'Empereur' from the French crews, accompanied by hurrahs of the English sailors,' as stated by Admiral Hamelin, we will merely observe that all reduce itself to the nar row (infertnes) proportions of the explosion of an ammu nition waggon, and of a wooden shed, erected for the use of the gunners employed at the Mole Battery. "What remains, then, of all the exploits so compla cently narrated by the commander-in-chief of the French squadron ? Why, the destruction of some coasting vessels, or the damage which others may have received, more or less. According to the detailed report, re ceived on this subject by the Board ofForeign Commerce, the greater part of these vessels had, as a measure of precaution, been sunk (cou/e.9) by their own captains. "The same precaution had been taken by the authori ties in regard to the Andie, the only steam-packet be longing to the Crown, and the floating light of Olchakoff, which was at Odessa. "The Board of Construction had to regret the loss of the dredging machine, and of some damage done to other similar machines. "'lt could not enter into our thoughts,' says Admiral Hamelin, 'to do the slightest harm to the towns of Odessa, or to its commercial port.' We have already ob served that the harbour designated by M. Hamelin under the name of Port Imperial,' and which the Admirals proposed to destroy, is in fact the harbour of free pra tique, especially destined for coasting vessels, and con sequently as much a commercial harbour as that called of ' the quarantine.' There is no difference between the two, except in a sanitary point of view. " But let us Speak of the towii. To fudge by 'the French reports, this has been spared. In order to know what to think of this, it suffices to see the houses struck by the enemy's projectiles, and the shells (frag men ts, it is to be supposed) picked up in the streets, of which some struck even the most distant quarters. In the town three men were killed and eight wounded. These facts, which can be verified on ,the spot, give the measure of the truth of the French report. We might point out other errors. "The field battery posted at the P4r6cype suburb was not put to the rout (mis en deroute, as this report pretends. It was this battery, on the contrary, which routed and compelled to a precipitate retreat the enemy's boats detached under the protection of the steamers, to• wards the coast, with the apparent intention of effecting a landing. " Admiral Hamelin speaks of the disorder which reigned in the town from the commencement of the at tack.' The inhabitants of Odessa and foreigners who were there can attest that public order was not troubled for an instant in the town ; that divine service on Easter Saturday was not interrupted, and that foreigners were not molested. It is known that foreign consuls have, by an official document already published by us, ren dered the homage of their unanimous gratitude for the protection their countrymen had received. " According to Admiral Hamelin, two French vessels profited by the imaginary disorder occasioned by the attack to leave the harbour. We have to state that these two ships, laden with grain, had received the Em peror's permission to depart, in consideration that they had taken in their cargoes and quitted Odessa before the export of grain was forbidden, but had been obliged to put back to repair damage. "Admiral Hamelin attributes to the disorder prevailing at Odessa the absence of the Russian standard during the combat. The cause of this absence can be explained very simply, because there was no fortress, no admiralty estab lishment, no Russian vessel of war at Odessa, whatever may be said by English journals, who have been still more liberal, by blowing up a frigate, and by destroying nine other vessels in dock. The batteries of Odessa are not permanent works. They have only been raised and armed temporarily, to protect the port against isolated Turkish cruisers ; for we must avow that we never thought of such an eventuality as an attack on a peace ful and purely commercial city by the combined squad rons of two civilised nations. We will add that it is not customary with us for detached batteries to have flags, a effectp l ic a t t ihoen.' smallest This allest " The grand deeds *tuts faits) of the combined squad rons upon this oc c asi on su g gested to Admiral Hamelin an observation, thu s worded ;—' If the supreme art of war consists in doing much injury without receiving fine m p a h g r e a s e t 0 would e o n n e l m y y k I , e a v e v eaa had e 1 e a . any, never did this maxim receive more opposite p logical sense if the Odes s a b a tt er i es had been unable to But if such were the case, let us ask why three frigates were compelled to be taken in tow on the 22d, and the Fury next day, in order to get out of the range of fire ? When frigates moved by the powerful force of steam are compelled to be taken in tow, in consequence of an en gagement, it may be permitted to suppose that the ad verse batteries have contributed something thereto. "The two admirals pretend that they completely ef. fected the proposed object by inflicting the destined chastisement upon the military authorities of Odessa. Nevertheless, their summons bespoke in imperious terms the pretension to obtain ' forthwith' the restoration of all French, English, and Russian vessels at Odessa. But, after cannonading from dawn to evening, they quitted the waters of Odessa without obtaining the restoration of the vessels which they had peremptorily demanded. of nations. "It appears to us absurd, however, to presume that without motive. (It 'did not appear so riduculous to those exposed to the fi re.) The mission of the flag of truce was accomplished without hindrance by the boat of the Furious. What legitimate motive could the frigate have in the interest of the parley to place herself within range of our batteries. We Now, when a thing is demanded in a menacing tone, and recourse has been had to force to give effect to me naces, and retreat is made without obtaining the object demanded—if that cannot be termed a check (6chec), we know not what word to employ. " Finally, as relates to the assault Ottentat) of which the Odessa authorities are said by the Admi rals to have been guilty, in regard to the flag of truce, we have nothing to add to the information given by us on this subject. The admirals were not witnesses of the incident (but Captain Loring was). If they permit themselves to say, in their letter to Ge neral Osten-Sacken, that he merely ' advances erro neous allegations,' the expression may be little palatable, but it does not follow that it was just. Why should their assertion be an authority ; and that of Russian officers, under the eyes of whom the incident occurred, merit no credit ? But since there is affirmation on one side, and denegation on the other, seeing the determina tion taken in France and England to consider us always in the wrong, we must submit to remain under the accusation of an infraction (attcatat coelre) of the laws a vessel carrying a flair of truce should be fired upon can comprehend this. By this infraction of established rules, she had placed herself in the wrong. It is evi dent that if she had remained as she might out of range, nobody would have thought of &in.- at her. By coming within range she must have had a motive of some kind which could have nothing in common with the parley.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know, that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and itsconsequences may be avoided, and above all, that there Is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional jerangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

An action had been brought by the plaintiffs against the defendants for cuttin g their pipes and affixing ser vice pipes of their own to the plaintiffs' mains, thus allowing the plaintiffs' gas to flow into the defendants' pipes. The defendants pleaded the Statute of Limitations. The plaintiffs, by their replication, stated that the de fendants, by secret and fraudulent means —namely, by cutting off the service pipes which they had thus affixed, and stopping up the holes in the plaintiffs' mains, had within six years endeavoured to prevent, and, in fact, prevented the plaintiffs from discovering their cause of action. To this replication the defendants demurred. A second count in the plaintiffs' declaration stated the trespass of plugging up the pipes, and the fraudulent concealment thereby of the cause of action, and alleged the loss of the right of action as consequential damage. To this count the defendants demurred also, but ob tained leave to plead as well as demur. The demurrer was supported by Mr. Bovill, and Mr. I Wilder appeared for the Imperial Company. The question in the first place was, whether if a de fendant wilfully and fraudulently had taken means to prevent the plaintiff from discovering his right of action for six years, the defendant could plead the statute, or whether the time did not run from the discovery only of the right of action. A second question rose on the second count, as to whether, if, by the fraudulent act and trespass of the defendant within six years the right of action was concealed until it was barred, this trespass did not give a new right of action in which the measure of the damages would be the loss of the former right. The Court unanimously held that the statute ran un conditionally, and stated that a contrary decision would be attended with the utmost alarming consequences. The demurrer to the replication must be allowed. The second count of the declaration was clearly good, as it alleged a trespass within six years ; but it would be for the judge who should try the case to direct the jury as to the measure of damages. If the defendants were em• barrassed by the wording of the count they might go before a judge at chambers.. This demurrer must be overruled. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION. HOUSE OF COMMONS-JUNE 1.

Captain Peter Richards, C.B. is selected to fill the vacant seat at the Board of Admiralty, taking prece dence of Captain Milne. Letters for the fleet in the Black Sea will be forwarded by the Harpy steam-vessel to-day, from Portsmouth. The letters must be marked, "By the Harpy." Yesterday notices were publicly given on the Royal Exchange from the Admiralty, that within 20 days from that date the Russian barque Johanna, Captain Uld strom, would be condemned as a lawful prize to her Majesty's steamer Bulldog. We learn from Plymouth, by electric telegraph, that her Majesty's steamship Algiers, 91, Captain the Hon. Charles Talbot, made a trif.l trip of her engines yester day. She left Hamoaze at half-past 7. steamed down against a strong wind and tide, and went to sea immedi ately. At 12 she returned, and, after making some evolu tions inside the breakwater, wentto seaagain by the eastern channel. At half past 2 she came back to the Sound, and steamed in 'good style to her moorings in Hamoaze. Her engines and machinery appeared to answer excel lently well. She is 300 hands short of her complement. The Hermes, 6, steam-sloop, Captain Fishbourne, arrived yesterday evening at Spithead from China and the Cape of Good Hope. Her news has been anticipated by overland and steam mails. Her crew will be made available for the war service. The Rhadamanthus paddle-wheel steam store-vessel, Master Commander John Belam, took on board in the basin at Woolwich, for conveyance to Portsmouth, new boilers for the Centaur, and the remainder of the ma chinery for the Colossus, 80, screw steam-ship, fitting at that port. The boilers of the Royal Albert were put on board the Beaver steam-vessel, and she was towed to Sheerness by the Rhadamanthus. The Rhadamanthus will leave to-morrow, and is under orders to return to Woolwich within a week to take round the machinery of the Harrier, screw steam-sloop, and the Curagoa, 30, steam-frigate, built at Pembroke. The boilers brought down by the Rhadamanthus were afterwards put on board the Royal Albert at Sheerness. A new spare screw propeller, weighing 6 tons 12 cwt. 3 qrs. 241 b., has arrived at Sheerness for the Euryalus, 51, steamship, now serving in the Baltic. It will be sent out in the steam transport Holyrood. The Curlew, 8, screw steam-sloop, was launched on Wednesday at Deptford, from the slip on which she was commenced about 18 months ago. Her dimensions are as follows : /~i/ ', /. ~/ ~ '--_-...' RAILWAY INTELLIGX-YO.O LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN. It appears that a large number of engine-drivers GM the southern division of this railway have threatened tG strik . 43 unless all those who have for the last twelve montls been driving upon the line goods as well as pas. sengcrr trains shall be paid 7s. per diem. A deputation from the men met Mr. M'Connell at Rugby yesterday, and ;after some consultation it was agreed to refer the whole question to the locomotive committee of the com pany at their next meeting, on the 9th inst. A new arrangement with the engine -drivers has been for some timia in contemplation for working the engines by con tract, and it appears that about 30 of the oldest drivers upon the line have, at their own request, been placed upon contract work, and the result has been that they are earning a very considerable increase over the usual. wages. The contract work is so regulated that the driver has 12 hours' rest every day, and at- the same time he is guaranteed the ordinary rate of wages. The men working by contract are subject to a fine of Is. per minute if they should be from their own neglect behind time ...call the engines. This stringent rule has, in many cases, secured unusual punctuality. The price paid to the driver, who has coke, tallow, oil, &c., supplied to him at cost price by the company, under the contract system, is from 3id. to 41d. per mile for passenger trains, and from Gd. to 61d, for goods trains, including the repairs which do not require shed work ; and, as far as the system has been tried, it appears to have effected a saving of 20 per cent. Should the adoption of this system over all the lines of the London and North-Western Railway be equally successful, it is ex pected that it will result in a reduction of the working expenditure to the extent of 100,0001. per annum. BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY STATION. The new central station of the London and North• Western Compa4 - , in New-street, Birmingham, was opened yesterday for passenger traffic, and the Curzon street station finally closed. All the trains of the North• Western, Midland, Stour Valley, Shrewsbury and Bir• mingham and Stour Valley are thus brought together in the centre of Birmingham, and the public, by having afforded to them a continuous conveyance, are most materially convenienced. The arrangements are as yet scarcely completed. The station occupies an area of 7 acres, and the roof 41, 2i of which are constructed of glass. There are four platforms, the largest of which, when completed, will be upwards of a quarter of a mils in length. Attached to the station is a first-rate hotel, where travellers :I.re accommodated at a comparatively moderate tariff. BELFAST AND BALLYMENA. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Monday at Belfast, the Hon. G. Handcock in the chair. The report of the Oirectors was adopted. After soma discussion, the divideod recommended by the directors, of 20s. per share for the half-year, being at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, was agreed to, and *he meeting separated. CORK, BLACKROCK, AND PASSAGE. The report of the directors states that the traffic on the line for the half-year ending the 29th of April last amounted to 4,3721., being 3541. over that of the corre sponding period of last year. The working expenses and interest on loans amounted to 3,4791., leaving a ba lance of 893/., out of which the directors recommend a dividend at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum on the paid-up capital for the half-year. KILLARNEY JUNCTION.; The half-yearly meeting of this company wag held on Wednesday at Dublin. The chair was taken by Mr. J. Pennefather. The directors' report stated that the line was, with the exception of a small station at Lombardstown, com pletely finished and in excellent order, and had been given up to the Great Southern and Western Railway Company, who are bound to maintain it. The traffic was steadily improving, and it was hoped that the en suing summer would show a large increase both in pas• sengers and goods. The report having been adopted, the meeting separated. IRISH SOUTH-EASTERN. A special meeting of this company was held on Wed nesday at Dublin, for the purpose of considering a bill now pending in Parliament, Mr. J. E. Redmond in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said that the bill then before Parlia ment was for the purpose of forming an independent company for the construction of a line of railway from Bengalstown to Wexford, and to enable the Irish South- Eastern Company to subscribe 50,0001., subject to the approbation of the proprietors, to be obtained at a meet ing to be held after the bill had received the sanction of the Legislature. After a brief discussion, a resolution approving the bill was carried, and the proceedings terminated. REPORTS OF COMMITTEES ON RAILWAY BILLS. CORK AND WATERFORD. The Earl of MARca reported from the sub-committee that the bill does not authorise the construction of any new works, but only extends and revives the powers al ready granted for that purpose. Four petitions were referred to the committee against the bill. The com mittee had examined the allegations contained in the preamble of the bill, and had amended the same by omit ting the recital as to the branch to Fermoy, concerning which no powers are taken in the bill, and by defining the western terminus of the railway, and had found the same as amended to be true. BANGOR AND CARNARVON. Mr. BOUVERIE reported from the committee that the objects of the bill are to enable the company to raise a further some of money for the purposes of their under taking, by the creation of now shares, and to enable the company to transfer their undertaking to the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company. The length of the Bangor and Carnarvon railway is 7 miles, and that of the Chester and Holyhead (with which it directly com municates), is 85 miles, and it was proved to the com mittee that the Bangor and Carnarvon line had been worked by the Chester arid Holyhead Railway Company from the date of the opening of the former line. Under these circumstances it appeared to the committee that this was a special case, in which an amalgamation of the two undertakings was desirable. GREAT WESTERN, SHREWSBURY, AND BIRMINGHAM, AND SHREWSBURY AND CHESTER RAILWAY COMPA• NIES' AMALGAMATION. Mr. LASCELLES reported, from the sub-committee, that the objects of the bill were simply to authorise the con. solidation into one undertaking of the Great Western, the Shrewsbury and Birmingham, and the Shrewsbury and Chester Railways ; and the union into one company of the three several companies to whom the said rail ways respectively belong. Petitions against the bill were presented from the London and North-Western, Chester and Holyhead, Shropshire Union, Oxford, Wor cester, and Wolverhampton, Newport, Abergavenny, and Hereford Railway Companies, and from seven other parties. The new stock and annuities into which by the bill power is sought to convert the mortgage or bond debt of the amalgamated company will be in lieu of mortgages and bonds or other securities in ono or other of the undertakings proposed to be amalgamated under the bill, and the rate of dividend or interest to be payable in respect of the new stock or annuities is limited to 41 per cent. per annum, which is a lower rate than the average rate of interest which has generally been paid on the existing mortgages or bonds or other securities of the respective companies parties to the amalgamation. The committee have decided upon recommending the Comanies withthe Gream t a malgamation of the Shr ewsbur y and Chester and Sh rews bury and Birmingham of a special char). tleVreastnedrnofßagrielawt importanceayCompa nY 't l o as tl b ie eipg public n interest, inas• much as without such amalgamation it appears to the committee that the smaller companies could not eta• ciently carry the traffic within their several districts, and that the result of such amalgamation will be im proved of management, and greater facility of communicationyeconom to the public at large. NORTH AND SOUTH-WESTERN JUNCTION. Mr. BOUVERIE reported from the committee that the object of the bill was merely to raise additional capital for the completion and general purposes of the under taking. The amount of additional capital Troposed to be raised by the bill is 15,0001., and the amount they are authorized to borrow 4,9341. WEST LONDON. Mr. BOUVERIE reported from the committee that the objects of the bill are to determine an existing lease for 999 years of the West London Railway to the London and North-Western Railway Company (in respect of which lease various disputes have arisen, which disputes have given rise to suits at law between the two com panies), and to enable the West London Company and. the London and North-Western Company to enter into fresh arrangements for the sale or lease of the under. taking of the West London to the London and North- Western Company, and to provide for the settlement of disputes between the said companies, and for admitting the Great Western Railway Company to participate is the use of the West London Railway. LEOMINSTER AND KINGTON. Mr. ADAIR reported from the sub-committee on the bill that the proposed capital of the company is 80,0001. and the amount of loan 26,0001. The length of the rail way is 13 miles 2 furlongs, and the steepest gradient fill lin 80. It is intended to cross on the level six and turnpike roads. The estimated cost of the raaiewregy. is 80,0001., and the quantity of land required 90 working The bill authorises the company to enter i arrangements with the Shrewsbury . way Company, 'but the power is l im ited and can only be renewed with the consent sat of Trade.
