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,a and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, il l y s other class of dig eame known to modern pathologists. Its perusal 01 particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts d their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded entitled. health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there are principles of Personal manag which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, anenthen 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 its consequences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any decree of physical intirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. TheAutbor has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have anfortunately teen too generally confided to the care of Ignorant empirics, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in their pretensions.

"Gentlemen, I have great pleasure in adding my testimony to the value of your Fireproof Sa es. " Last 'Monday night my house, warehouse, and premises were unfortunately burned down; the lire raged very fearfully for about two hours, and, owing to the great scarcity of water, the whole of my premises and stock were consumed. "'I he safe I purchased of you had a most severe test, in conse quence of a t•arrel or brimstone standing close to it and melting with the heat of the fire, the burning lava running all over and under the safe, whh•h great y added to the intensity of the heat; it rem tined in that position about four hours, and when with great difficulty it was cot out of the fire and opened, I found my books and papers all uninjured. "You are at liberty to make what use you please of this informa tion. "I am, gentlemen, yours respectfully " WM. WALKER. " Messrs. Thos. Milner and Son, 17e., Moor,gate-street, London." " Agricultural Laboratory, Harpenden, July 6, 1854 " Gentlemen,—l was present at the late fire which destroyed the premises of Mr. Walker, Harpenden, and was much surprised at the grent amount of heat your safe resisted, and still more surprises (when it was made known to me that a barrel of sulphur stood near it) that it was not entb ely destroyed. " Ileng anxious to see if it had been a'aracted by the sulphur, I scraped some of the blistered iron from the inside and outside of the safe, and, from analysis, find much sulphuret, so that it must have been greatly acted upon by the sulphur, yet the books and papers were perfectly uninjured. " I must in Justice say that your safes are invaluable, and very necessary for every one who has books sad accounts of any value. I am, Gentlemen, yours very faithfully, - Messrs. Thos.

The Royal Albert is iu dry dock at Sheerness, where she is likely to remain until next spring, and it was found that some obstruction in the grove of stonework at the basin entrance prevented the caisson from going properly down. This being the case, it cannot be depended upon for keeping sufficient water in the basin to enable her to be kept afloat. Immediate arrangements are being made for ascertaining the cause. Within the last week some crimps have visited Sheerness, and they have succeeded in con veying away nearly one-half of the able-bodied seamen who have entered for this noble ship. It has been vaguely intimated to the A.B.'s that they can have immediate bounty of 5/, put in their hand on their consenting to run. Several of the seamen who have run were men entered for continuous service. One seaman, a foreigner, who entered from the barque Mariner, has been brought back from Gravesend. He will be tried for desertion under the Ad miralty regulations, and will, no doubt, get committed for two months to hard labour in the county gaol at Maidstone. The only cause assigned for the men running is the temptation offered and paid them—namely, 5/. bounty. There are several detectives here for the purpose of finding out the crimps, who, if taken, will have all the punishment which the Admiralty can by law give them, for harbouring deserters or inducing seamen by bribes to desert her Majesty's service. The Ganges, 84, built in India entirely by natives, was to have gone out of the graving dock, at Sheerness, on Satur day. She has undergone a thorough repair ; being a teak ship she may now fairly be considered as sound and fit for service as the day she was launched. Her model as a sailing ship of the old class stands unrivalled, her qualitie s were al ways considered first-rate ; under both these good qualities it is likely she will be put into commission. The Hornet, 14, screw-sloop, Commander Campbell, arrived at Spithead from the coast of Ireland on Saturday, and remains. The Malacca, 14, screw corvette, slipped from her moorings at eleven a.m. on Saturday last, and proceeded for Portsmouth. On leaving Sheerness harbour she pro ceeded out over a very strong flood tide, doing from 74 to 8 knots off the reel. The ballast already put on board her has evidently been advantageous to her not only in stiffening her, but giving her a consi derable increase in her speed. She is to take in 103 tons more ballast immediately her provisions and stores can be expended, so as to remove her ground tiers for the purpose of properly stowing her ballast fore and aft to the best advantage. Mr. Hartrie, irom Messrs. Penn's factory, proceeded in her for the run down to Portsmouth, to in spect the machinery when under trial. The fitting of Mr. Bonney's gutta percha speaking tubes leading to the engine room was completed previous to her departure from Sheer ness. The Spy, 3, brigantine, Lieutenant-Commander the Hon. R. Boyle, arrived at Spithead on Saturday, and sailed yesterday morning for the westward. The Unite convic , , hospital-ship has been removed from her moorings off the Royal Arsenal to moorings off the dockyard, in consequence of the prevalence of diarrhoea and Asiatic cholera. The general health of the convicts is now much better. There has only been one case of Asiatic cholera among them for some time past, and the person attacked is now convalescent. At 11 a.m. on Saturday last, the bark Achilles, of Glas gow, was towed into Sheerness by a steam-tug from the Downs, having a Deal lugger astern. She has the cholera very badly on board, two of her crew having died, and e3veral other cases still raging on board. She was towed up to Stangate Creek Quarantine ground, and it is reported the sick patients aro under treatment by the superintendent surgeon there. The Rhadamanthus, paddle-wheel steam store-vessel, Master Commander John Belam, has taken on board, in the basin at Woolwich, a groat portion of the machinery of tho Exmouth, 90, screw steam-ship of 403-horse power, with two telescopic funnels, by Maudslay, Sons, and Field, and will convoy them to Devonport. The Rhadamanthus has been ordered to remain at Woolwich until the machi nery of the Falcon, Di, screw steam-sloop, recently launched and brought round from. Pembroke, is put on board the Diligence store-ship, just come from the arctic regions, and then tow the Diligence to Portsmouth, where she is to remain for some time. APPOINTMENT. Lieutenant Richard B. Foster (1854) to the Swallow, S, screw steam sloop, at Portsmouth. LAUNCH OF THE PELTER GUN-BOAT. The interesting ceremony of naming and launching the gnu-boat Pelter, being the first of four gun-boats which Mr 4 Pitcher of Northfleet has been ordered to build for her Majesty's navy, took place on Saturday last, at Northfleet dockyard, in the presence of a very numerous and gay as semblage—the ladies, as usual, predominating in number. There were several naval and military officers, and persons connected with her Majesty's civil service, present on the occasion. The dimensions of the boat are—length between the perpendiculars 100 feet; extreme breadth 22 ft.; depth in hold 7 ft. 10 inches; burden 212 tons. The engines that are intended for her, and which have been manufactured by Messrs. Penn and Co., are on the high pressure princi ple; and aro of 60 horse power. Her armament will consist of two guns of 96 cwt., which will be capable of throwing solid shot of 8 inches diameter. The draught of water which she took when launched was 4 feet 6 inches aft, and and 3 feet 2 inches forward. The load draught will be 6 feet 6 inches, with guns, powder, shot;shells, and all stores complete. She will be rigged as a lugger, having 3 sails and no bowsprit, the forepart being arranged in such a manner that one of her guns (which will, under ordinary circumstances, bo carried amidships) can be transported forward so as to be used as a bow chase, while the stern is also arranged as to receive the other gun as a stern chase. It is evident, from the above description, that this gun boat is a vessel admirably adapted for the service for which these boats Aro intended by the Government. The flat ness of the floor and the shallowness of the vessel will en able her to penetrate into creeks and shallow waters,which we believe no other description of vessel in the service can posSibly do, while, from the immense range of her guns and the lowness of her hull, she will be scarcely assailable. The boat, immediately after being launched, was taken in tow by a steam-tug to Woolwich, to have the machinery put in. We understand the engineers, Messrs. Penn and Co., will not require more than three or four days to fix the machinery, when the boat will be brought back to Northfleet dockyard for completion. The other three boats respectively named Pincher, Ranger, and Snapper, are in a state of groat forwardness, one of which will be launched in a few days, and the other two will be completed within a fortnight. Only nine weeks have elapsed since the order was given by the Government to Mr. Pitcher for the con struction of these boats ; the despatch, therefore, that has been displayed in this instance is a proof of what can be achieved by our private shipbuilding establishments. The interest of the day's proceedings were considerably enhanced in the estimation of the mere pleasure-seekers by the circumstance of a launch taking place immediately after that of the Pelter of a fine commercial screw-vessel, called the Dom Pedro, which has been constructed by Mr. Pitcher for the Luizo Braziliero Steam Company. The dimensions of this vessel are : Length between the per pendiculars, 250 feet ; the extreme breadth, 35 feet 8 inches ; depth in the hold to main deck, 20 feet 6 inches ; burden, 1,519 tons. She is constructed for a passenger vessel to run between Lisbon and Rio Janeiro. The two launches having taken place without one disturbing inci dent, and under the most genial sky, Mr. Pitcher, the nephew of the contractor, under whose more immediate direction tho whole proceedings were conducted, withdrew with his numerous friends to the Rosherville Hotel, where they partook of a cold collation, with wine ad libitum, to r ink boat t oa n s d t s ship,of loyalty e ha,n as d g i‘ o l o r d . f n w, ewepl war" r wa expressed, n o d f , t , h y e e a l rea peace." p. e e r s i g e n h t t e t o t n h . e ge t n w t o l e m m t o y f and drink commemorat ea Tit w nh fe h tnr e en s nsu : a f so(nit orhef e) the the destiny a day ao LANCASTER'S GUN AND THE ARROW. Considerable misapprehension exists in many quarters as to the position of the 68-pounder oval guns on Lancas ter's principle on board the Arrow and the other five screw steam despatch gun-boats. It is not correct to state that they are placed at the bow or stern of the vessel, as their permanent positions are both amidship, the one between the foremast and funnel, and the other between the funnel and mainmast, where the brass circles on which the their traversing platforms revolve are permanently fixed, and they are never on any occasion moved from as nearly the centre of the vessel as possible. Owing to the high angle at which these guns have to bo fired when practised with at long ranges, they can be fired within 15 or 20 degrees of the direction of the bow, and consequently the vessel will not present much of her broadside to an enemy's ves sel or fortification, even if the opponents aro in possession of guns of an equally long range. The only difference be tween the position of the large guns of the Arrow and the vessels built by Mr. J. Scott Russell for the Prussian Go vernment is, that in the former the guns are not only in the centre fore and aft, but also in the centre from side to side, with the advantage of being capable of being fired on either side of the gun-boat when required. In the gun boats made for the Prussian service the guns were mounted on the sides of the centre fore and aft, and supported in their positions by strong braces, which afforded them an opportunity of firing in a direct line with the bow of the vessel. Thero are six pivots for each large gun traversing platforiu on board the Wrangler screw despatch gun-boat, iwhich will ena b le that vessel to fi re i n any di rect i on that may be r equ i re d . Th e f our 12-p oun d er b rass h ow i tzers a" Placed 04 board the WONT despatch gun-bouts, two in the bows, and two, one on each broadside, between the main and mizenmast, and there are no guns at the stern of the despatch gun-boats. A number of boxes from the Royal Arsenal were put on board the Wrangler on Saturday, containing common shells for the 12-pounder howitzers also several of case shot, Shrapnel shells filled with musket balls, and a quan tity of round shot. A number of joiners were at work upon the Wrangler yesterday, and there is so much to do that it is not expected she will be able to be tried down the river before Wednesday. The workmen were also permitted to work on the Beagle on Sunday, to forward what is still required to be done on that gun-boat. The Viper screw steam gunboat is to be taken down from Blackwall to Woolwich to-day. SHIP FOR THE RUSSIAN OFFICERS. The Wellington is to be especially appropriated to re ceive the officers and their servants only. The Black Prince, at Chatham, is also ordered down here, to be fitted for prisoners of war. The two surgeons recently appointed for duty in prison ships will be borne out on the books of the Waterloo flag-ship. Officers in charge of these ships will be under the immediate orders of the Commander-in- Chief only. ~ ANOTHER RUSSIAN PRIZE. By advices received on Saturday from the Havannah, a Russian barque had arrived at that port in charge of a prize crew ; she was captured by the French steam fri gat3 Phoque, in the Pacific ; her cargo is extremely valu able. MAIL FOR TURKEY. A mail for the British army in Turkey and the fleet in the, Black Sea will be made up and forwarded through France to Marseilles, and thence to Constantinople by French mail packets, to-morrow evening. A mail for the Baltic fleet will also be made up on Tuesday evening, and forwarded through Belgium to Dantzic, where a steamer will be in readiness to carry it on to the fleet. A SEAMAN'S LETTER. The following extracts are from the letter of a seaman in the fleet under Vice -Admiral Dundas, in the Black Sea. It is dated Batchik Bay, Black Sea, July 28, 1854 • " We aro still here with the combined fleets, and they make a great and formidable display. There are no less than twenty-five sail of the line, seven of which are three deckers, four French and three English, with six admirals, flags flying—two vice -admirals and two rear - admirals of the French navy, and ono vice-admiral and one rear-ad miral of the British navy. Tho French ships are fine ships, but they are not the ships that ours are to look at. We are all making every preparation to embark troops for Se bastopol, and our small ship, in comparison with the other great leviathans, takes 300 ; Rodney, 90, Captain Charles Graham, C. 8., takes the 42d Regiment of Highlanders; the French ships take their own men. All we want up hero is five or six screw steam-ships, like the old Ganges, which could be managed easily in case of calms. Our steamers show a superiority over the French steamers, as, although they look very warlike, they are as ugly as they can be. Ours are very fine to look at, and as vrarliko. Terrible and Furious came in on Sunday, having been off Odessa destroying the remains of the unfortunate Tiger. During the accomplishment of the duty they had to per form, they were interrupted by the Russians, who brought down a heavy field battery to the beach, and fired at them. Tho Furious had two large holes in ber funnels, whi c h were pierced through. The Terrible and Furious on re turning captured eight prizes between them—small trading vessels. The Furious left again with them three hours after her arrival, for Constantinople." lADMIRALTY INSPECTION. PLYMOUTH, Aug. 27.—Yesterday morning, at a quarter after ten o'clock, Sir James Graham and Capt. Richards left their hotel, and proceeded to the Dockyard, where they were received by Admiral Sir Win. Parker, the Port- Admiral, the Superintendent of the Dockyard, Colonel Green, and other officials. After inspectin g the mechanics shed, the board embarked in the Admiral's cutter for the Royal William Victualling-yard, at Stonehouse, accom panied by Admiral Sir William Parker, and the secre taries in attendance on the board. Their lordships did not on this occasion go over the various departments connected with this vast establishment, or muster the workmen, but contented themselves by merely walking over the provi sion stores and bakery. Their lordships were evidently surprised when informed that more than 80,0001bs. of biscuit were made every twenty-four hours in this estab lishment. Their lordships, after leaving the Victualling yard, proceeded direct to the Naval Hospital, and in spected the dispensary, chapel, medical stores, and walked over the burial ground. The number of seamen and marine patients at the present time at this hospital is about 120, which is much below the average. The board next inspected the old French prison at Millbay, where a portion of the Ist Somerset Militia, since their enrolment, have been quartered. Some alterations are to bo made in this building, but for what purpose is not yet known. After leaving here, their lordships inspected the Marine Barracks at Stonehouse, where the men were drawn up in two continuous columns. Sir James Graham was ac companied by Lieut.-Colonel Childs, Adjutant Domville, and Dr. Miller. Col. Coryton, the commandant of this divi sion, was prevented through indisposition from accompany ing the board in their inspection. Colonel Second Com mandant Pratt has been placed on the sick list, so that the command of the division devolves on Lieut.-Colonel Childs. Their lordships, after leaving the Marine Barracks, in spected the sailors' home at St. Aubyn-street, Devonport. They minutely examined everything connected with this laudable undertaking, and expressed themselves much pleased with the working of it. Admiral Maurice, Ad miral Paiker, Admiral Thomas, and Captain Hillyor went through the building with their lordships. At four o'clock Sir James Graham held a levee at the Admiral Superintendent's office in the dockyard. THE WINDSOR CASTLE. Tho first coat of planking is complete on the Windsor Castle, royal steam yacht, and the second (diagonal) course is in hand. A great number of shipwrights are at present employed upon her. THE lIOLYROOD TRANSPORT. On Friday last, at 6 p.m., the hired steam transport llolyrood, Commander Lovett, arrived at Sheerness for the mails and supernumeraries. On her arrival the postmaster received official information thereof from the secretary to the Commander-in-Chief, and the mails (the heaviest yet sent out, amounting to nearly three tons weight) were duly put on board. They were kept open until after Saturday's morning mails arrived, which were also forwarded. The Ilolyrood left on Saturday at 9.15 am. She takes for a passage out Dr. Deane, advocate, who is proceeding to join Sir Charles Napier, on business connected with prize courts, also the following assistant-surgeons, to join their respective, Taylor, to join the Edinbur g h ; and Dr. Waller, tojoin the St. George ; Mr. Larken, n ava l cadet, to join the Cressy; ships, viz. :—Dr. Weaver, t o j oin the Prince Regent ; Mr. and Mr. Magendie, naval cadet, to join the Cwsar. Thirty Royal Coast Volunteers have taken passage out to bring home prizes. She also takes a l arge quantity of powder, 8-inch and 10-inch shells, and pr ov i sions and stores for the fleet. ov ARRIVAL OF THE NUBIA. SOU-'HAMPTON,, AUG. 26. The Peninsular an d Oriental Company have had ano th er fine screw steam-ship a dd e d t o th e i r already extensive fleet, by the arrival o f th e N u bi a f rom Li verpool this morning. This vessel, whi c h i s th e l arg e s t ever b uilt upon the Mersey, was constructed by Mr. Laird, at hi s b uilding yard, at Birkenhead. tw een 318 feet breadth of beam, 39 feet ; depth from spar-deck to keel, 31 feet; tonnag e , o ld measurement, 2 , 20 0 tons ; h er engines di are of 450-horse power, and were const ructed by Messrs. e 2 n B s s i o feet n s a ; r elength as followor all, Length be Fawcett and Co. They are built upon the oscillating prin ciple, with 78-inch cylinders and five-feet stroke. The screw-shaft is driven with intermediate gearing, g i v i ng 2 , revolutions of the screw to one revolution of the engines ; her boilers are upon Lamb and Shuner's patent flue prin ciple, the advantages of which have been so frequently ex plained, and are four in number. The Nubia is barque rigged, has an elliptical stern, with slight quarter galleries, and ornamented with carvings of scroll work, with the crest of the company to which she belongs in the centre. The outward appearance of the ship is attractive, but the internal arrangements aro most perfect . Th e principal saloon is a ma gn ifi cen t apartment, and i s of great length. Tho various com p ar t men t s a re supported by p il lars having the appearan ce o f mar bl e , an d the cornices, mou l dings, &c,, aro beautifully carve d an d gilded, with a re li ef of green, very effectiv e ly i n t ro d uce d. Ono great adv an t age over the old s tyl e o f arrangemen t s i n thi s portion of th e vessel is the position in which the lamps aro swung, W hi c h , by being placed just underneath the capitals of the pillars, as in the Candia, built by Mare and Co., at Blackwadl, are capable of lighting the saloon, state-rooms, and sl eep i ng apart ments at one and the same time. The ladies' cabin is mostcomfortably and even elaborately furnished, and is about 15 feet long and 10 feet wide. MILITARY. Detachments of the 12th Lancers, 43d Foot, 74th High landers, and 84th Foot embark at Gravesend on Thursday for Madras. ' The Ist battalion of Grenadier Guards march from St. George's to Wellington Barracks on Friday; the 2d Gre nadiers from Portman-street to Wellington Barracks; the 2d Coldstreams from Wellington to Portman -street ; the 2a Scots Fusiliers to St, George's Barracks. STANTINOPLE. We learn by a private letter from the East, the circum stance of a gallant officer much esteemed in Kilkenny having been recently placed in a position of some slight embarrass- ment in Constantinople owing to the difficulty of making himself understood by the natives. It would appear that Captain Alexander Al`Donald, 92d Regiment (recently con nected with this district, whilst as aide-de-camp to his father, General M`Donald), on his arrival at the Turkish capital, and whilst engaged in seeing the lions of that great city, wished to take a moonlight view of the palace of the Sultan, for which purpose he proceeded in plain clothes, in a boat manned by natives. The boatmen were unable to comprehend the directions of the gallant officer to row him round the palace, so as to see the building to the best advantage, the word " Sultan," often repeated, being the only one which they could understand, and accordingly they arrived at the wise conclusion that their unknown employer probably harboured some treasonable design against the Sultan's life or property ; whereupon they im mediately put in for the palace, and delivered him over to the custody of the royal guards as a suspicious character. Of course, an explanation immediately took place, and Captain M'Donald received the consideration and respect duo to his rank is the army of a succouring ally.—Hits penny Moderator. • DUBLIN, Aug. 26.—A division of the second regiment of militia drafted to Ireland, on account of the limited number of soldiers in garrison, arrived at the North-wall yesterday morning, at nine o'clock, by the Prince William steamer, belonging to the City of Dublin Company, having left Liverpool the previous night. They consist of the second division of the 48th or Northamptonshire Militia, commanded by Major Vivian, and number 400 privates and non-commissioned officers, and seven officers. The division marched immediately to Richmond barracks, a portion of which wns already occupied by the West York. Tho men are many of them young, and have not, of course, the drill or soldierlike bearing of the regiments of the line; but allowing for their inexperience, and the fatigue of the voyage, they promise ere long to do credit to her Majesty's service. The first division and head quarters, under the command of Lord Burghley will arrive this day. The uniform of the new militia regiments is very similar to that worn in the line ; but the men on duty generally wear forage caps, instead of the Prince Albert hat common in the regular service. The North amptonshire have yellow facings. Many of the men appear t o favour the moustache movement, and have taken advan tage of the recent order from the Horse Guards to display their adhesion to the principles •f the non-shaving society. GENERAL COURT-MARTIAL AT LIMERICK. LIMERICK, Friday Morning.-4 general court-martial assembled at the new barracks, in this city, yesterday, for trial of private Win. Tremble, 57th Regiment, against whom two charges were preferred—first, for having been drunk on parade on the 3d August; secondly, for having on the Bth of August instant struck Lieutenant and Act ing -Adjutant Thomas N. Woodall with his fist, and said, " Now you may get me shot if yon like." The charges having been read to the prisoner, he was asked by the president whether he was guilty or not ? Prisoner —I am guilty. The Court took time to consider their judgment. MISCELLANEOUS. Saturday being the anni•ersary of the birth of Prince Albert, the ships in commission were dressed in colours, with the Royal standard at the mainmast head. The standard was also hoisted at the dockyard citadel, and the several other public establishments. At noon Royal salutes were fired, as customary. The Royal yacht Victoria and Albert, Capt. tho Hon. Josoph Denman, and the Fairy tender, returned to Ports mouth harbour from Cowes yesterday morning. The fine now transport-ship Baragnay d'Hilliers, Capt. Izod Downes, sailed on Saturday from Deptford, for the conveyance of French troops in the Baltic, Govern ment having-altered her name from Hongomont in compli ment to our allies and the French general commanding there, with the sanction of her owner, Mr. Duncan Dun bar. SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO THE COMMANDANT Or ROYAL MARINES.—We regret to announce than a serious accident occurred to Colonel Coryton, R.DL, on Thursday afternoon last. The gallant officer was in his boat, which ran foul of the Sir Francis Drake, steam-packet, in Stonehouse Pool, by which the mast of the boat was carried away, falling on Colonel Coryton's head. The blow was very severe, laying the head open, but we are glad to find no serious result is anticipated.—Plymouth Mail. CAPTAIN HALL AT HELSINGPORS.—Private letters state that W. King Hall, in the Bulldog, during a late recon noitre of the fortresses of Sweaborg, went within a mile and a half of the Russian fleet ; and that, had that offi cer's information been acted upon immediately, it is prob able a successful attack might have been made upon the Russians without interruption from the batteries. The oversight on the part of the Russians has no doubt been rectified ere this.—J3crwick Warder. DEVONPORT, AUG. 27. Yesterday the troops were embarked from the Eudy moir hulk on board the Lord Auckland transport, which had been delayed in consequence of having the cholera on board. She is now ready to resume her voyage to the East Indies. DESTRUCTION OF THREE sarrs BY FIRE, AND LOSS OF LIFE. Among the numerous casualties reported in the course of the last two or three days to Lloyd's were three sad losses by fire, attended with a melancholy sacrifice of life, the particulars of which, although brief, are as follow :—The barque Townsend, Captain G. E. Wood son, outward bound to Valparaiso, was totally lost by fire on the 13th of May, two days after rounding Cape Horn. The fire was supposed to have originated in the main hold amidships, and was detected about nine o'clock in the morning by smoke issuing forth from the forward ventilator. The hatches were immediately removed, and all hands employed to get at the seat of the fire ; but the captain, finding it impossible for the men to re main below on account of the intense heat, had the hatches battened down, and with sail cloths laid over in order to stifle the fire. This also failed, and soon after 5 o'clock in the evening they were compelled to take to the boats, and abandon the ship. For six days and nights they were exposed to the greatest possible privation. Two out of the four boats were capsized, and 12 of the crew met with a watery grave. The survivors eventually succeeded in reaching Massafulra, where they got on board the Peruvian barque Andes, bound for Valparaiso. The cause of the fire is not mentioned. The second loss was that of the barque William the Conqueror, from Barbadoes, bound to London. She was entirely destroyed by fire on the 9th of July. The crew had a miraculous escape. They remained by the burn ing wreck till the mast fell overboard. The chief mate got entangled among the flaming rigging, and was severely burned before he could be extricated. They (the crew) remained in the boats till the succeeding day, when they were picked up by the Precursor, which landed them safely in Liverpool on Wednesday last. Accounts from Singapore, dated the 30th of June, de tail the loss of a brig of war called the Sumatra belong ing to the Netherlands Government. She was on a cruise in the Molucca Seas, and put into Kema harbour to procure some medicines and provisions, and whilst the crew were so engsged a fire broke out in the store room, and spread throughout the ship with such fearful rapidity that within an hour she was enveloped in flames. She was burnt to the water's edge. Her loss is com puted at 30,0001. MURDER.- -On Saturday a warrant was forwarded to London for the apprehension of Emma Bunham, a single woman, charged with having thrown her illegitimate child into a chalk-pit at Thurston, Suffolk. The police have every reason to believe that the accused has arrived in London for a situation. She is about 28 years old, 5 feet 2 inches high, light eyes and eyebrows, round chin, thick lips, and an awkward rolling gait when walking. The accused was dressed in a lilac-dress, tuscan bonnet, and brown-shaded ribbon, when she left Thurston. THE ESHER MURDERS.—On Saturday Mr. John Keene, the governor of Horsemonger-lane Gaol, re ceived an order from Lord Palmerston, the Secretary of State for the Home Department, for the removal of ' Mary Ann Brough, the murderess of her five children at Esher, and who was tried for those offences at the last Surrey Assizes, at Guildford, and acquitted by a merciful (?) jury on the ground of insanity, when sh e was ordered by the learned judge to be kept in confine ment during her Majesty's pleasure. As usual with such prisoners her destination was Bethlehem Hospital, St. George's-fields, to which place Mr. Keene conveyed her on Saturday afternoon, when he delivered her over to the custody of Dr. Hood and the matron, and she was placed in the criminal ward. Since the trial and her return to Horsemonger-lane Prison her conduct has been very good and cheerful, but several times she men tioned the subject of the murder, and regretted that her life was spared. Her health is exceedingly good, an d she is likely to be a sane inmate of Bethlehem Hospital L for mapy year.. The following curious document, containing the instructions given by the commander of the Rus sian forces in Finland for the defence of the Aland Isles, was found after the capture of Bomarsund. It has already appeared in the Independance Beige, and was republished yesterday in the Moniteur : The General Commanding-in -Chi e f of the troops sta tioned in Finland to Lieutenant. Colonel Turugelan, of the Finnish'battalion of the Imperial Guard. Helsingfors, arch 22, . His Maje s ty the Emperor, consid M erino that in 1854 the present st a t e o f po li t i cal affairs the Isles of 6 Aland may be more than any other points of Finland exposed to the enemy's active hostilities, and that in consequence of his enterprises their communications may be cut off for some time, has deigned to appoint for the Isles of Aland an adjuvant to the Governor •f Abo, with the duty of assisting the latter in the government of the countries in question, In the case of an interruption of the commu nications this adjuvant will have the powers f a civil chief, and will act conformably to the general instruc tions established by the governors. For this purpose the Emperor has deigned upon my recommendatio n to nominate you to the post of adjuvant of the Governor of Abo for the Isles of Aland, with an additional salary payable out of the revenues of Finland of 1,750 roubles per annum. At the same time his Majesty the Emperor has or dered that a sub-officer and two private soldiers shall be taken from each company of chasseurs of the battalions of Finland and of the grenadiers of the Imperial Guard, T an b d eg f e ro m m en a wcoaripasidtoyobue in o la o c a e s d e ofa under your descent Isles of Aland to stimulate the inhabitants to repulse the command.upon the attack and to defend the country. After having made the arrangements necessary for fulfilling the orders of your Sovereign, I beg th 4 you will repair at once to your new post, and ocCuoy yourkelf as soon as you arrive there with the administration of the country, taking as your guide the instructions laid down by the Emperor. I think it indispensible to recommend you to execute the following measures : First, visit in person the principal isles of the Aland groups, and make an inspection from a military point of view ; form an idea of the general means of defending the country ; and, besides this, take notice of the parti cular spots which most deserve attention, and which are most liable to be attacked by the enemy. After this inspection you will not omit to place your self en rapport with the people of the country in general, acquaint yourself with their habits of thought, and find out the dispositions by which they are animated. You should especially seek to become acquainted with the men who exercise influence over the inhabitants, whether mere ordinary members of society, or pastors, or others of station. Through them you will endeavour to act on the people, stimulating them to sentiments of devotion to the government. To gain their confidence you must get to know their position and their private affairs. I recommend you at the same time to direct your attention to the necessity of awakening a military spirit in the inhabitants of the isles of Aland. This is of the greatest importance, seeing the isolated position of these isles (sic.) in relation to the coast of the continent. While seeking to inspire the Alanders with confidence in their own forces, you will remind them of their sacred duties towards the Emperor. Make them feel the ne cessity and advantages of defending their own families. Secondly, I entreat you to give your attention to the means of communication between the isles and the con tinent in winter, and between one another in the summer season. Thirdly, and particularly, consider how you may throw obstacles in the way of a hostile landing. In this respect remember that a rugged coast surrounded by reefs and submarine rocks is in itself, even when there is suf ficient water, very unfavourabl e t o d e b arkation, so also banks of sand and clay are very unfavourable, as they hinder the enemy from supporting by the batteries of his ships the troops which ho wants to land. These points excepted, all the rest present facilities for effecting a landing. For this reason look to those points at which the enemy may debark easily, and take in time all those precautions suited to secure the failure of his enterprise. FoUrthly. It will be for you to determine whether it will be proper, in case of necessity, to transfer the in habitants of one island to another. Fifth. The Aland Archipelago, like every group of islands, offers this advantage, for defence, that one may be informed in time, almost at every point, of the ad vance of the enemy. In all cases an untiring vigilance must be maintained, especially if, in consequence of the transference of the inhabitants of one island to another, some of these isles are made tenantless. Sixthly. It is equally necessary that you should fix on the point in the interior of the isles where you mean to offer the most obstinate resistance. You will also examine whether there may not be means of fortifying these points by the aid of local resources. Seventhly.,ln this respect, as in all others, you will be in continual communication with the commandant of the fortress of Aland, and each of you will lend to the other cordial support. Eig,htly. To enable you to arm the inhabitants, if this course should appear expedient, 500 carbines will be placed at your disposal, with 500 ponds of lead, and 3,000 gun flints. You may at the same time take powder from the magazine of the fortress of Aland to the extent of 70 pouds. In distributing these arms to the people, I pray you to be very careful to whom you give them. Ninthly.

Tenthly. In case the enemy should happen to surprise one of these isles, it is left to your care to organise de tachments of partisans under the command of local chiefs, or of sub-officers of chasseurs ; that of construc ing fire-ships, if that should be practicable ; that of making clearings in the isles, destroying woods, bridges, habitations, organising the burning of forests, and, in a word, of doing all that is possible to annoy and damage the enemy. In all these cases you will make reports to me through the medium of the Governor at Abo at first, and should matters grow more urgent, by special ex press. You will also place yourself in relation with our fleet or squadron, should it be in the neighbourhood of the city, taking cars that your communications may not be interrupted by the way.

Bell, and several other sitting magistrates, Mr. Sheen of London, solicitor to the So ciety for the Protection of Women, made an application for warrants against Charles Cox Hughes, of the Claren don Hotel, and Sarah Hancox, a woman with whom he cohabited, on a charge of conspiring together to procure the defilement of Susannah Pignutt, a girl aged 15, and for a warrant against Hughes for a rape on a girl named Emma Coson, au interesting and beautiful girl, aged 13. Respecting the first case, it appeared from the evidence that Hancox was living at Clarendon-cottage, and Hughes was in the habit of goinc , there every night. Pignutt was engaged on the 11th of May last as nursemaid, to take care of Hancox's children. Her mistress had asked her to allow Hughes to sleep with ber, and threatened to send her home if she refused. She did, however, re fuse, and for some time preserved her chastity. One night Hughes came into her bedroom undressed, and got into bed with her; but, as she struggled very violently, he soon left without effecting his purpose. About five days after that attempt Hughes came again, and on her endeavouring to leave the room, her mistress came and ordered her to get into bed, which she did. Soon alter Hughes came and effected her ruin, Hancox holding her hands while he got into bed, and keeping her down during the infamous trans action. After a consultation of a technical nature, the Bench decided that it was impossible in this case to grant a warrant, but ordered a summons to issue. In the second case it appeared that the girl Emma Coson had likewise been in Hancox's service as nurse to her two children, and that a rape was committed upon her under very similar circumstances to those detailed above. The Bench in this case decided upon granting a warrant and soon after Mr. Hughes was brought up by Inspec tor Roby. The witnesses were all re-sworn, and the magistrates decided on committing Hughes for trial at the next assizes. Bail was accepted for himself in 500/. and two sureties in 2501. The case created great excite ment, and the court was filled with spectators during the inquiry, which lasted several hours. The woman Hancoxis a well educated, prepossessing -looking woman, and managed to make off before the termination of the inquiry. _ INFANTICIDE IN THE REGENT'S PARK.—On Saturday Mr. Wakley held an inquiry, at the Elephant and Castle, Camden Town, into the circumstances attending the death of a female child. It appeared from the evi dence of Mrs. Richards, housekeeper to Mr. Mayhew, of 6, Chester-terrace, that she found the body wrapped in a napkin, and lying in a receft of the door-sten, when she called James Hawkins, the park-keeper, at t 'aester gate, who conveyed it to the station-house, and subse quently to the workhouse. There were no marks or initials upon the napkin to lead to a clue of the guilty parties, and Harris, the summoning offi cer, informed the court that he had made every inquiry in the neighbourhood without being able to trace them out. Mr. Waldegrave, surgeon to the workhouse, said that he performed the post-mortcni examination. The body was that of a female child, be tween three and four months old, and there was food in the stomach. The hands were clenched, but the was no disease whatever of any internal organs to accountfor death, w hi c h h e conjectured arose from congestion and eff us i on i nto the brain. The Coroner recommended an open verdict to be returned, in which the jury Sc. quiesced, and the investigation then terminated. R EPRESENTATION OF FORFARSHIRE.—Viscount_ o Dun can will, it i s sa id , come forward as a cand i date for the n . seat vacant by th e l amente d d eat h o f C o l one l the .Jd Lauderdale Maule. On Saturday night, between the hours of seven and eight o'clock, a fire, attended with the destruction of several thousand pounds' worth of property, broke out in the Baptist Chapel recently belonging to the late Rev. Dr. Cox, situate in Mare-street, Hackney. The sacred edifice stretched in one direction nearly 100 feet, and it was about 70 feet wide, containing a spacious gallery, and pews for the accommodation of between 1,200 and 1,500 persons. The fittings of the interior of the chapel were equal to any church of the Establishment, and, it is stated, cost nearly 5,0001. ; independently of which, there was a magnificent organ, which alone cost be tween 2,0001. and 3,0001. in one of the galleries. From all that can be gleaned, it appears that the organist had arrived for the purpose of tuning the in strument, when, on entering the organ loft, he Noticed flames in huge bodies shooting forth from some of the barrels of the organ. This induced him at once to give the alarm ; b ehuildin building, he before he had time h t ehecaine nearly ye to ncir leave eledi ha n t ita t p tne7 rt of and, in order to save his life, he was obliged to throw himself down the stairs. Fortunately he escaped unhurt, ex cept with a few bruises. In the comparatively brief period of ten minutes the flames had extended from the organ loft to the whole of andth e galleries, th en firing aisles. different pews, The scene then became one of fearful grandeur, the fire rising descending in r to apid the successionsea ts in the the above the surrounding house tops, and the reflection drew t o th e spot upwar d s o f ten th ousan d persons. The poli ce , un d er M r. S uper i nten d ent W a lk er an d In ! spector Paiue, were obliged to have ropes drawn across the streets to keep the immense concourse of per sons back. The engines of the parish, London Brigade, and West of England office were remarkably early in arriving, and a plentjful supply of water was procured from the East London Company's main, from which the engines were at once set to work ; but, notwithstanding the Bra dw e o n o e d exertions of the men, who were ably directed by Mr. tremendous kl rF°g°' b an od d y .ll o. l f r. fi C ani on e n , o a rt n on, the wor . k re o devastation continued, and eventually the structure pre sentedd when the f fell in, large pieces of t* • timber, in a thorough state of igni tion, were drifted by the high wind over the contiguou s houses, to th e d anger of setting them in fl ames. Th e firemen, h owever, kept to their work, an d th ey were enabled ultim a t e l y to get the control over the fearful element ; but not unt il the spac iouseape was gutted. As to the origi n o f t h e f i re, not the least information could be gleaned. • The chapel, it is etlrm..-- , ilnied in the Geneiil in- FALL OF A GIRDER BRIDGE ON TETE BIRMINGHAM AND DUDLEY ItAILI37AY. On Friday morning a very serious accident occurred on this line of railway, which, being in course of con struction, was so near completion that the final Official visit of the Government inspector was to have taken place next Friday. An iron girder bridge is thrown over the road leading from Winsen-green to Hands worth. For a fortnight or more the line had been traversed by a broad gauge ballast engine, taking usually 12 permanent carriages laden with gravel for the purpose of filling up the interstices of the large sleepers on which the iron rails are laid. Up to half-past eleven on Friday morning this course was pursued without accident. At that time the Dreadnought engine, with its complement of l a d en trucks, was on its way t 0.., pot midway bet ween S o h o and Handsworth stit)..4 . ; coming to th e s p o t w h ere the bridge is thrown - a - Criiii he - roads, the engine and two laden trucks had passed safely over, when in a moment the left hand iron girder gave way, doubling up as it were in its entire centre, falling into the highway below, and carrying with it trucks, rails, sleepers, and iron supporters. In fact, the destruc tion of the whole bridge was complete, and there stands only the right hand line of iron rails and the correspond ing girder ; but this is entirely displaced, although in a whole state. Nearly one-half of the cross iron sup porters (rafters) are smashed in two ; and of the twelve trucks, three only have escaped the destruction which is the case with the others, which are lying shattered to pieces in the road-way. So sudden was this unfortunate occurrence, that the driver of the engine did not perceive the least oscillation or vibration, and yet he and the engine, the tender, and two trucks, had only passed when feeling a strain, he turned round to see instantly the coupling chains of the second and third trucks broken, and the bridge and the line of trucks all sink in one common ruin. Fortunately no one was injured, but the accident must delay the opening of the line. The contract is in the hands of Messrs. Branson and Gwyther, who have had a couple of hundred men at work at the spot. The erection of a temporary wood bridge is contemplated, so that the progress of the works on other parts of the line may not be materially inter rupted. The line is the property of the Great Western Company, and is the connecting link between Birming ham and Oxford, and Shrewsbury rails, as well as the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton. RESCUE FROM DROWNING AT SHEERNESS.—SMUYCIay night at half-past eleven p.m., the soldiers at the guard house, Sheerness, were alarmed by the cries of a womaxi on one of the bridges that another one had precipitated herself off into the moat, and was drowning ; a brass fitter belonging to her Majesty's dockyard, who was passing, immediately jumped in after her, and rescued this unfortunate female, The soldiers got a rope which Was fastened to her, and she was hauled up by them. She was conveyed to the guard-house, where every as sistance was afforded. We hope the heroic conduct of this mechanic in her Majesty's dockyard will not go un rewarded. Had it not been for this man, there is not the least doubt that her life would have been sacrificed by the rash act. This case is worthy of the notice of the Humane Society. EMBEZZLEMENT BY A RAILWAY STATION -MASTER.— The police have received information that Mr. Frank Sawle, late station -master at Taff .Newbridge station, on the Taff Vale Railway, has absconded, having embezzled sums of money to a considerable amount, the property of the railway company. He is about 23 years of age, and it is believed he intends to emigrate. The most ac tive detective officers have been sent in pursuit. JUDICIAL AMENITIES. A singular exchange of courtesies took place, a short time since, between Judge Pepper, of the 7th Judicial District of Tennessee, and Governor Johnson, of the same State. Judge Pepper, who was a blacksmith, presented to Governor Johnson a fire-shovel, made by the Judge's own bands. The Governor accepted the present, and, being a tailor by trade, returned the compliment by cutting and making with his own hands a coat, which he presented to the Judge.—New York Inquirer. 'ABDUCTION OF A GIRL FROM DUBLIN.—A. few days a 6, Mrs. Ellen Quinlan, a respectable woman, the pro prietress of a lodging-house, No. 1, Sandwith-street, Dublin, applied to the magistrates for a warrant against an Englishwoman who came to lodge at her house, and remained the re f or six weeks under the name of Bridget O'Dea. It appeared that on Friday last Mrs. O'Dea announced her intention of departing that evening for Liverpool ; she took leave of Mrs. Quinlan, and re quested that Mrs. Quinlan's daughter, a young girl, should be allowed to see her to the packet and bring her bandbox. The mother consented, and the girl accom panied Mrs. O'Dea, but has not since been heard of. On inquiry at the packet office it was ascertained that places or berths had been taken for Mrs. O'Dea and the girl, Hannah Q u i n l an , t o L iver p oo l, an d thence per railway itsosued a warrant t Dewsbury, 1-orko be transmitted shire.Thei magistrate England fo trate immediately h te arrest of the woman O'Dea and for the recovery of the gir a l, nc b i o tes tl i i, er r wh x e a n ni a in rr c e r. sted, to be brought to Dublin.-- m_ THE PRODUCTION OF SILK.—The quantity of silk produced this year in the provinces of Piedmont h as attained a considerable extent.

ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY AND MECHANICS' INSTI TUTIONS.—GREAT MEETING AT WORSLEY.—On Saturday afternoon a great gathering of the members of the lite rary and mechanics' institutions of Lancashire and Che shire took place at Worsley, the seat of Lord Ellesmere. Special trains of immense length, from Manchester, Stockport, Staley-bridge, Oldham, Burnley, Bolton, Macclesfield, and all the principal towns of the two counties, set down the visitors at the Patnicroft station, about two miles from Worsley Hall, and when all were a-serobled there could not be less than 5,000 in number. Three special trains were required for the excursionists from Manchester alone. Ott alighting at Patricroft, the visitors proceeded to the Bridgewater Foundry, adjoining the station, and witnessed in operation Mr. Na,smyth's original steam hammer, together with all the machinery of the extensive workshops. They then walked to Worsley New Hall, the residence of the Earl of Ellesmere, and visited the interesting old hall which was formerly the residence of the Worsleys, the Masseys, the Statileys, and the Egertons. At five o'clock the secretaries of the various institutions met at the Court-house, Worsley, when Dr. Hudson, i lia: secretary of the Manchester Athenmum, a s n even o'clock b an rl d ef ro a e d o d h r a e n s i s e ; n in t s h t e itu p t r io e n se s n , t an l d eg t a h l e p n o e s w ition t d o e o f i f i l v p i a ti e r r a li r a y . ment regulating their operations ; and at t 0_ Worsley, exhibited his large telescope on the lawn the Rev.
