RIP -I .BER as a lining to the ordinary gold or bone frame. The extraordinary results of this application may be briefly noted in a few of their most promi nent features, as the following :—All sharp edges are avoided; no springs wires, or fastenings are required ; a greater increased free dom of suction is supplied ; a natural elasticity hitherto wholly un attainable: and a fit, perfected with the most unerring accuracy, are secured, while from the softness and flexibility of the agent em ployed, the greatest support is given to the adjoining teeth when loose or rendered tender by the absorption of the gums. The acids of the mouth exert so agency on the chcmically-prepared White India-rubber, and as it is a non-conductor, fluids of any temperature may with thorough comfort be imbibed and retained in the mouth, all unpleasantness of smelt or taste being at the same time wholly provided against by the peculiar nature of its preparation.

Just Published, 60th Edition, price 2s. 6d.. or free by post for forty two stamps, SELF-PRESER V ATI ON a Popular Treatise on the Physiology and Functions of Mar riage, with its Disqualifications and Impediments, tracing their origin to the effects of solitary habits, youthtul excess, tropical climates, or close study ; followed by practical remarks, founded on twenty years' experience in the treatment of Impuissance, Nervous Debility, Local Weakness, Spermatorrhcea, and all diseases of the Urinary and Generative system. Illustrated by 50 coloured Engrav ings, on the Anatomy of the Reproductive Organs and their relative conditions in Health and Disease. By SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D. 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin- burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. 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 peruse is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and whe are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there 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 its con,equenc es may be avoided, and above all, that therein scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional lerangement to which the timely aid of science cannot n apply extensive a cure.

ACCIDENT TO TO THE &MLA. SOI3THAUPTON, Saturday, May 13.—8 y the arrival of the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Sultan we learn that the screw steamer Simla, Captain Brooks, was spoken on the 9th instant off Vigo, and that she reported having broken her screw propeller in two places, and that steam power was in consequence quite useless. The Simla, it will be recollected, left Southampton on the 6th instant for Gibraltar, Malta, and Alexandria, with the India, China, and Australian mails, and had on board also the mails for Melbourne and Sydney, taken out of the Great Britain, besides a very large and valuable cargo, 300 tons of stores and provisions for the Government, to be landed at Malta for transmission to the fleet in the Black Sea, and specie to the value of about 90,0001. sterling. The screw, it appears, was broken by having struck some portion of a floating wreck ; and, no spare one being on board at the time, the Simla had to trust entirely to her canvas. She was going about eight knots, with a fair wind, when spoken by the Sul tan. It is supposed she would make Gibraltar, and there endeavour to repair temporarily the damage sus tained. The company have a spare screw at this port, and it was at first deemed advisable to ship it on board the Sultan or Colombo, and to send both these steam ships to Gibraltar, there to meet the Simla, and trans ship her mails, passengers, and cargo for conveyance to their destination. For this purpose Captain Engledue, the superintendent of the company, ordered these vessels tobe prepared for sea, so as to leave Southampton on Sunday or Monday. Subsequently orders were, however, re ceived this evening from London, countermanding their departure, and the Simla will have to make the best of her way under sail alone, or with temporary repairs (should such be practicable), to the Mediterranean. Great delay to the mails will necessarily be experienced, and the steamers on the Suez side of the isthmus will, of course, be kept waiting. If the Simla gets favour able weather, she wiil probably make a fair passage to Malta, whence the mails might be sent on by the Vectis or Valetta to Alexandria, but if foul winds are encountered in the Mediterranean, it is uncertain when that island may be reached. The Simla is a most mag nificent ship, and, independent, of her steam-power, is fully rigged as a clipper barque, so as to take the greatest possible advantage, on all occasions, of a leading wind. We regret to learn that a serious accident had taken place on board the Simla just previous to the disaster to her screw-propeller, the third engineer having been killed by falling down the engine-room upon the work ing parts of the machinery. The unfortunate man was dreadfully mangled, and died almost instantaneously. THE CITY OF GLASGOW STEAMER.—The New York Journal of Commerce publishes the following report by the captain of the schooner Canton, arrived at New York, and remarks upon it :—" April 12, saw a steam propeller off Achlin's Island (Bahamas), from five to eight miles distant—sails furled ; she was undoubtedly lying at anchor, as she was head to wind. There did not appear to be anything the matter with her. Saw no one on board. Several small vessels, ap parently wreckers, were in the vicinity, but did not appear to be going to or coming from her. She was apparently about 1,000 tons burden ; sup posed her to have been a surveying vessel." We further learn verbally that she had windsails set, —no flags ; the stack very short and back, between the fore and main masts—nearer to the latter. The distance between the fore and main masts was noticed as being consider able ; that between the main and mizen very much less. Boats were hanging on the quarter and at the stern. The vessel stood very high out of the water The fol lowing is a minute description of the City of Glasgow : Built of iron; 1,610 tons register, but at sea appears much smaller ; length over all, 258 feet ; breadth, 34feet 3 inches ; 350-horse power ; sides black, bottom dark yellow, white full-length female figurehead, scroll work and name board on each bow ; imitation quarter galleries ; bad no bulwarks proper, but network around her supported by an iron rail, painted yellow, which might easily be mistaken at a distance for wood work ; decks yellow ; was barque rigged, with bow sprit and jibboom ; her smokestack, which was black, with a white ring near the top, was abaft the foremast ; house on deck also abaft the foremast; she carried the American ensign at the fore ; blue pennant, red edges, with her name in it, at the main ; blue signal, with a black star in it, at the mizen, and the British ensign at the mizen gaff. Captain Johnson further states that he is positive that the above vessel was afloat ' • that if she was in distress she could not have been in the position reported— viz., to windward. Had she been in dis tress she would probably have come through the Maya guana passage, and made some of the more windward islands. The passengers by the Canton also state their belief that this vessel was not in distress, and also to the best of their knowledge that there was no white about her smokestack ; and one of them still further states that he h . as seen the City of Glasgow, and is pretty positive . that . it . was not she. Captain Johnson also states that in his judgment, and allowing for the distance from him, she was not over 1,000 tons burden, that she was either a war or surveying vessel, and that as it was contemplated to build a lighthouse at or near that locality, she might . havu been there for the purpose of fixing the site ; which is also the opinion of the passengers. THE MAILS —LIVERPOOL, May 13.—The British and North American mail steamer America, Lang com mander, took her departure hence to-day for Boston, with a large number of passengers, a full cargo, and a heavy mail. The South American and General Steam Navigation Company's screw steamer BFasileira is re ported to have reached Bahia on the ruorning and that of the 14th ult., being 2(q days' passage from Liverpool, she sailed on the following day for Rio Janeiro, booked full of passengers an d car g o. She will be due at Liver pool on the 27th or 23th inst. La Plata, belonging to the same company, reached Pernambuco on the 7th ult., 21 days passage from Hol y head, and sailed on the fol lowing day for the River Plate. Their new steamer, the Bahiana, sails hence on the Ist of June, and will be that t succeeded e fi b n y e t s h t e e a In L e u r s s i t areani a n n o d n e the' h e eff • 2el y t t h o . th T e h e G r o e v p e o r n r ment for the conveyance of troops is, therefore, in correct. The crew of the steam gunvessel Jasper, Lieutenant- Commander Crawley; were paid wages on Friday, and the next day she left Plymouth Sound for the Baltic. The steam-sloop Stromboli arrived at Plymouth on Saturday from a cruise in the Channel. Captain Curry,- First Lieutenant Ifsler, and Second Lieutenant Napier, with two sergaliA, two corporals, - one- fifer, and 90 privates, embark; on Saturday on board the Calcutta, 84, Captain Stopford. The Nautilus apprentices brig went down Channel by the Eddystone on Saturday afternoon. The Brazilian Government steam-vessel Santa Cruz, built in London, which injured her boilers coming down Channel, and put into Torbay, was towed into Plymouth Sound on Saturday by the steam-vessel Brunswick, Portsmouth trader, Capt. T. Russell. Mr. J. C. Barlow, Master (late of the Waterloo, 120) took up his commission at Sheerness on Saturday, and joined the Formidable, 84, guardship of ordinary, Capt. Superintendent Christopher Wyvill. Mr. John Edg combe Skinner, clerk's-assistant (first appointment), has also taken up his commission and joined. The ship is progressing very slowly in her fitment as regards her rigging, in consequence of the riggers being stationed on work more urgently required for immediate service. The Wellesley, 72 guns, guardship of ordinary at Chat ham, Capt.-Superintendent Peter Richards, C. 8., &c. is progressing smartly with her rigging under the direc tions of Mr. C. Gahan, Master of the Poictiers. They areisetting up all her lower standing rigging, and she has been coppered up to her deep water line. It is the in tention of the Admiralty that this ship and the Formida ble shall be fitted and stowed so as to be ready for sea on the shortest notice. The Hannibal, 90 guns, new screw steamship, Captain the Hon. F. W. Grey, at Chatham, has her masts and spars all a-taut, her topmasts rigging ratlined down, and her lower rigging fore and aft is all ready for being rat lined. She has now upwards of 500 men on her books, The seamen of the Waterwitch, 8-gun sloop, Corn. A. H. Gardner, are to be paid their wages, and will pro ceed on immediate service in another ship. Vice-Admi ral the Hon. Josceline Percy has been pleased to say he will use his influence with the Admiralty for their mess not to be broken up, but to get them all draughted to the same ship. The officers are also to be paid their wages, and proceed into other ships for duty, as directed by the Admiralty. The Waterwitch will not be commis sioned again, as she requires very considerable repairs in her topsides, caused by the excessive straining of the rigging and masts on the upper parts of her hull, fore and aft. The captains and commanders of the shipping fitting out in this port at present, are all trying to gain for their respective ships this little handful of blue jackets. The Janus, 4 guns, paddlewheel steam-vessel, Lieu tenat-Commander Colin C. A. Kane, remains waiting for orders to proceed on particular service. The Rus sian seamen she brought round have all been sent to the receiving ship Crocodile, where they were eagerly sought for by shipowners in the port of London, and engaged at wages rating from 3/. to 61. per month. We were premature in stating, as we did on Friday last, that the Russian brigantine Johanna Emilie, ar• rived here under false colours, had been condemned. We have learnt that the case is at present undergoing inves tigation by the Admiralty proctor. The capture was effected jointly by the three landing surveyors stationed at the London Docks. Of the fate of the vessel there is little doubt—she will be confiscated, but the consignees anticipate release of the cargo, on the plea that it was shipped at Lisbon on the supposition that the vessel was Hanoverian, having been advertised as such—by which they were deceived. The Soufflier iron war steamer, belonging to the French Government, and in command of Captain Man trac, entered the Tyne on Friday to coal and adjust her compasses. She left on Saturday morning for the Baltic. She is a handsome new vessel, evidently of great speed, and is from Cherbourg. The officers and men, the few hours they had to spend on shore, met a hearty recep tion from the inhabitants of Shields. Captain Sher ringham, who has visited several of the Devonshire towns to enrol men as Coast Volunteers, was at Appledore, in the North of Devon, last week. After explaining the object of his visit, the gallant captain succeeded in enrolling more than 20 of the watermen, pilots, and coasters of the place. In joining this new corps the men are consulting their pecuniary interests, inasmuch as they receive 16s. per week while on duty, and all their travelling expenses are paid ; in addition to which they are found provisions if exercised on board ship, and that too in the most dreary month of February, when there is scarcely anything doing on the sea or on the river. By the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamship Sultan, which arrived at Southampton on Saturday, we have dates from Gibraltar to the 6th inst. The British transports Bombay and St. Vincent, with troops, passed the Straits of Gibraltar on the 3d inst. The Eveline and Blundell, having detachments of the 17th Lancers on board, under command of Lieutenant-Colonel Lawren son, put into Gibraltar on the 3d, having lost four horses on the voyage. They proceeded on the same day for the East. Her Majesty's steam troop-ship Megmra, with the 38th on board, passed the Straits on the 4th inst. The second division of the 89th Foot, under command of Major the Hon. Charles Daly, arrived on the 3d in the ship Gomebza, seven days from Cork. They disem barked the same day, and marched to Windmill-hill Barracks. It is positively stated that an A n glo-Fr ench army will occupy Greece before the month of June shall have been many days old. The army of occupation, it is said, will consist of somewhere abo ut 15,000 men, of which 10,000 will be contributed by the French. The regiments forming the English portion of the force either have already received. or will in a few hours hence receive, their orders for immediate embarkation. They are the 20th Regiment, at Plymouth ; the 34th and Ist battalion of the Rifle Bri gade, at Portsmouth ; the 21 st and 63d, in Dublin ; and the 97th, at Windsor. As soon as the steam -transports are ready (and all haste is being made to make them above these troops will embark. The departure of the troops will leave the head-quarters of only four or five in fantry regiments in the kingdom, and it is in consequence determined on to call out some 15 or 20 of the best trained regiments of the English militia for garrison duty in this country and in Ireland. Captain George E. Hillier, half-pay 80th Regiment, has been appointed Deputy-Assistant .Adjutant-General in Dublin, in succession to Captain Mackenzie, 92d Highlanders, nominated Brigade -Major to Brigadier- General Airey, on the staff of the army in Turkey. The situation of Assistant Military Secretary is vacant by the resignation of Captain Hillier. The head-quarters of the 12th Regiment arrived in Cork on Thursday by train from Dublin. The fourth troop of the 11th Hussars embarked at Kingston on Friday. The fifth and last troop of this fine regiment will go on board this day (Monday). Their departure is greatly regretted. A better behaved corps, both privates and officers, never formed part of the Dub lin Th arrison. g e order for the 97th Regiment to march from the Sheet-street Barracks, Windsor, on Monday (this day), has been countermanded in consequence of the American steam-ship Orinoco not being in a sufficient state of readiness to proceed immediately with the troops to the Mediterranean. The day for the departure of this regi ment from Windsor is now fixed for Monday the 22d instant. VICTORIA RIFLES.—The Duke of Wellington, and not the Marquis of Salisbury, as erroneously stated, holds the rank of lieutenant-colonel in this corps. FOOD FOR THE BRITISH TROOPS IN TURKEY.—The authorities at the Horse Guards have had under their consideration a newly-invented meat cake, which seems to be admirably adapted for soldiers engaged in a cam paign like that in which we are about to embark in Turkey. Each cake affords three good meals, weighs 71 ounces, divided in three rations of 21 ounces each, which can be eaten dry, or when broken up and mixed with warm or cold water affords a nutritious soup. These meat cakes are easily stowed away, and a soldier might, with ease, carry a dozen in his haversack, to be used as reserved rations whenever the supply of other provisions failed, thereby being independent of the com missariat for twelve days. Mr. O'Brien, in the second edition of "A Residence in Wallachia," referring to this invention, says, " I have more than once tasted the soup made from these cakes, and found it excellent. Mr. Colquhoun approved of them so highly that he sent some to Constantinople, with a recommendation that they should be used in the Turkish army. I understand it is the intention of Mr. Pouteau, the inventor, in con junction with his brother, who resides in London, to establish a manufactory of these meat cakes and other provisions, and to supply them at a moderate price to FURTHER PARTICULARS. There was a general belief on Saturday morning that this noble vessel would be christened by the Princess Royal ; and even after the ceremony was over, those who viewed it from a distance persisted in saying that this youthful Royal personage performed the baptismal rite in honour of her distinguished father. The account of the launch in our Saturday's edition stated the fact correctly—viz., that it was her Majesty who stepped forward and broke the bottle of wine against the bow of the Royal Albert. We find, however, that a Sunday contemporary fell into the error of attributing the act to the Princess, and two morning journals to-day repeat the mistake. In addition to the particulars we have already given of the interesting event, we may mention that it was Sir J. Graham who handed the bottle to her Majesty, and explained the manner in which it was to be thrown. The bottle was a small one, of clear crystal, filled with sherry, covered with fine thick Honiton lace, and having two wreaths of roses, thistles, and shamrocks entwined round it. It was attached to the good ship by silver cord. The following details of the size, tonnage, and con struction of this ship will be read with interest ;—The Prince Albert has been somewhat less than twelve years constructing ; in this, as in many other particulars, dif fering widely from the old school . of naval phip-building, • when it was-no unusual' thing to hear of shigiva being as many as thirty or forty years upon the stocks. Mr. Oliver Lang, late master shipwright of the dock yard, had the honour of desiguing her, and her keel was laid down on the anniversary of Prince Albert's birthday, August 26, 1842. It was originally intended that she should be a sailing ship of the line, but the value of the screw as an auxiliary propelling power for men-of-war was shortly afterwards demonstrated, and when she was more than three-fourths completed, in January, 1852, she was altered to a screw ship of the line, lengthened by 15 feet, thereby adding about 300 tons to her esti mated tonnage, and making room for the screw-propeller and its machinery. Her carpentry and interior con struction differs materially from the former mode of shipbuilding ; great mechanical skill has been exhibited in the diagonal bearings, and other additional strength enings she has received to enable her to withstand the shock of her powerful armament ; and Mr. Rice, the present master shipwright, by whom her completion has been carried to a successful issue, has exhibited much good taste and ability in finishing off the details. The engines are being fitted by Messrs. Penn and Co. ; they are of the patent trunk principle, and of 500 horse-power It may be not uninteresting here to glance at the pro gressive improvements that have taken place in the size, construction, and armament of our men-of-war within the last fifty years. It is unnecessary to go back to the days of Henry VIII., when Woolwich was first raised to the dignity of a royal dockyard, and when we find the bluff monarch personally inspecting the new ship that had been built for and named after him, the Harry Grace A Dieu, the largest vessel ever built up to its time, 1515. The destiny of this vessel was peculiar and unfor tunate, as she was burned forty years afterwards in the dockyard in which she had been built. Although she was at the time the wonder and admiration of the world, the Harry Graced Dieu would have but a poor chance with one of the smallest frigates recently despatched to the Black Sea or the Baltic. Coming down to a period only fifty years ago, let us take the Victory, of 104 guns, in which Nelson achieved his crowning triumph and met his death, in the moment of victory. In her day she was regarded as the perfection of a line-of battle ship. She carried 104 'guns, and measured 186 feet in length. Her breadth was 521 feet, and her bur den 2,162 tons, while the weight of her broadside was nine hundred pounds. Advancing thirty years later we have the Caledonia as a model. She carried 120 guns—her length is increased to 205 feet—she is about a foot broader in the beam ; there is an addition of 600 tons to her burden, which is about 2,750 tons, while the weight of her broadside of metal is nearly double that of the Victory, or about 1,7501b5. Before us is the latest effort of naval science, and it is only by a contrast such as we have bee' making, or by comparing her side by side with a line-of-battle ship of a former period, that we can fully estimate her gigantic size, or tremendous power. If the thing were practicable, there would be no difficulty as regards space in placing the Caledonia in her hold. The extreme length of the Royal Albert is 276 feet, she is therefore 30 feet longer than the Duke of Wellington, and her extreme breadth 61 feet ; her bur den is 3,760 tons, and the weight of her broadside of metal more than four times that of the Victory, and more than double that of the Caledonia, or close upon 4,0001b5. The mere weight of timber-and iron in her hull alone is 3,000 tons, and when thoroughly fitted and equipped the weight is no Jess than 5,000 tons. A peep at her interior discovers to us the resources and arrange ments of a little town, for such we may not inappropri ately consider the population of 1,100 men by whom she will be manned. There are no less than five decks de scending gradually till we arrive at the recesses of the hold, where are placed the stores, the magazines, and the machinery. On the upper deck is the poop, where the commander usually takes his station, the quarter deck, the gangways, and in front the forecastle. Below this is the main deck, the great working part of the ship ; the third is termed the middle deck, and the fourth the lower, or gun-deck, on which the heaviest guns are generally placed, and the flooring of which is constructed with unusual regard to strength and soli dity. This lower deck is some six or seven feet above the water line, so that the ports may be opened and the guns may be worked with safety even in a rough sea, and here we leave the light of day and descend below the level of the water to the orlop deck, where the cock pits are placed. A Stray shot will occasionally find its way even here ; but several feet lower down, where lies the gunpowder to the amount of some forty or fifty tons, stored away in the fore and after part of the hold, all is darkness and gloom—and all, it is hoped, is perfectly secure from an accidental spark. These magazines are approached by passages and guarded by strong doors, which are never opened until every fire and light in the ship (except the Argand lamp, which lights the maga zine, and which has its socket surrounded by water), is extinguished. Attached to the magazine is a pipe con nected with a cistern of water, so that in case of fire it may be in a minute or two inundated. But in the event of the magazine being flooded, the ammunition is per fectly safe—the cartridges are in hermetically sealed zinc cases, so that by means of another stop cock the water can be turned off, and the ammunition is again fit for use. While these precautions are taken with regard to the safety of the ship; her machinery is also equally well protected. The coals are stowed away in bunkers to a thickness of twelve feet on each side of her engine room, so as to render it impervious to shot. The screw itself will weigh about ten tons, independently of the shaft, a beam of wrought iron of a weight and dimensions almost incredible, if we did not take into account the tremendous power required to impel a float ing mass of some five or six thousands tons, at a speed of 12 or 13 miles an hour through the water. The screw can be readily detached and hoisted on dock in a few minutes, while being so deeply submerged when in its proper position it is out of the range of shot. It is estimated that the speed of the Prince Albert will be 13 miles an hour, and at this speed, with her tremendous weight and power, she would cut an ordinary man-of war to the water's edge without firing a shot. Her armament will be arranged as follows ; on the lower deck there will be ten 8-inch guns for firing shells or hollow shot, and twenty-six long 32-pounder guns. On the middle deck will be six 8-inch gun , , and thirty 32-pounders. On the main deck, thirty-eight 32- pounders, and on the upper deck twenty 32-pounders. On the forecastle there will be a 68-pounder gun, mounted on a pivot, and this last will be one of the most formidable of all. The gun will weigh five tons, and will throw a sulid iron shot of 681 b. weight a distance of three miles. If any one has stood upon the platform of a battery when heavy guns have been fired, he must have witnessed how, after a few discharges, the massive granite and the solidly-lpitted oak and iron framework has been shaken and dislocated by the force of the concus sion, and he can fancy what must be the strength of the timbers of a man-of-war when a whole tier or broadside of these guns is discharged at once. The total number of guns will be 131. The Royal Albert is, however, pierced for 140 guns, to which amount her actual armament might be increased by the addition of nine light guns. THE RUSSIAN FRIGATE DlANA.—Advices from Val paraiso to the 3 d alt , state that th e Diana, 52, left Valparaiso on the 23d of March for the Sandwich Islands. The French frigate Forte, 60, left at the same time for Callao. A Valparaiso paper says :—" During the time the Russian frigate was in port her officers and men were often on shore. The officers are rmarkably intelligent, well-bred, and good-looking men, e and have by their urbanity, affability, and gentlemanly deport ment secured the esteem and good wishes of many persons here, both native and foreign. When questioned as to the prospect of war between Russia and France and Great Britain, they were naturally reserved. But when asked, in reference to the pro bability of a hostile encoun ter between the Diana and President, what were their opinions of the issue, the Russian commander was only heard to say—' We shall never strike our flag.' From the appearance and character of the officers and men, we can readily believe that they are capable of keeping their word, and would rather sink with their ship than survive the disgrace of a defeat." English coals were selling at $l6 to $l7. Freights to England were quoted at 4/. 10s. to 51. 10s. tfbro was a,- far superior arms- we _ so the Czar has always regarded war as a very low am clumsy method of compassing " annexation." A political map of the Russian empire is one of the most startling of modern pictures. Wyld has put upon its parts the various periods of their acquisi tion. It looks as if it were made up entirely of pick ings and stealings. Here from Persia, there from Turkey, now from Sweden, again from China, or Poland, and nearly all within a century anda, half, the cribbed portions make up so much as to leave the original homestall of Muscovy an insignificant patrimony. All have exactly the same history. The reigning thief casts about him to see where among his neighbours discontent is greatest, or treason most practicable. Thither in secret, or on a friendly visit, he sends his agents and his roubles. Cor ruption and faction-nursing do their work. Rebellion arises—revolution threatens. The Emperor of All the Russias enters the disturbed districts to "restore tran quillity" which he alone had interrupted. A little more intrigue, treachery, bribery, ripens a friendly intervention into a protectorate—and from the latter the step is in sensible, gradual and easy, to " incorporation " into the great Muscovite empire. These " taking ways " have become peculiarly obvious and transparent in the case of Turkey. In every absolute Court there is a strong Russian party. The Emperor of Austria is a mere regal imbecility. The King of Prussia is a miserable sot, who breaks the bridge of his nose after dinner by running against his cherry trees in his garden. Half the courtiers of every German 'potentate are the mere pensionaries of the Czar. Their silence or sympathy purchased, he proceeds to " restore tranquillity " to the Crimea. He pities the Wallachians and Moldavians. He is grieved at the turbulence of the Circassians. " You know the rest." These have merely his political sym pathies. But the Greeks ! are they not Christians ? Are they not of his own Church ? Can he be blamed for the depth of his interest in, and the intensity of his affection for, fellow worshippers, persecuted for con science sake by the heathen and the infidel ? So he takes the Greek subjects of the Sultan into pay. He c orrupts the old Mussulnian faction in the Divan. He opens communications with, he subsidises, the patriarchs and other priests of the Greek church in Turkey. He "remonstrates" through his Ambassadors with the Porte on the persecution of his Greek subjects. He gradually accustoms the latter to turn from their own Sovereign, and to look to him as their protector. He smuggles un considered clauses into protocols and treaties, which begin with recognising his access to the Sultan as a mere friendly adviser in reference to his dealings with his Christian subjects, and are gradually swelled by jesu itical misinterpretation into the assertion of a right to protect them against their own lawful monarch. Then comes the " got up quarrel," which is the pretext for his entering Moldaviato restore tranquillity, and now in place of incorporation, he is brought face to face with the power of France and England. The plot is begun afar off. He approaches the Helleues of Turkey through those of Greece. King Otho and his rascals are his mere sti pendiaries. He intrigues with the vagabonds of the lonian Islands. He gets the Greeks of Turkey to transfer their allegiance from the Sultan to himself or the German or other Sovereigns, so that their Ambas sadors may become protectors of the Sultan's own people against his lawful authority. He induces Otho to " try it on" with England in the case of Don Pacifico. He nurses the:offence of sheltering the Polish and Hun garian refugees into a quarrel, until Lord Palmerston orders our fleet to the Dardanelles. See what has oc curred now. No sooner do France and England declare war against him, than he wheedles Servia into rebellion, and the entire Greek nation everywhere rises at his signal of !eevolt. He even tells Austria that he will arm Poland, and set up Hungary in array. Mr. Cobden has taken for his clients the Greek houses in England trading with Turkey. He denounces the pro clamation of the Sultan ordering out of his dominions all Greeks, subjects of Otho. Yet what could he do ? As a measure of safety what would we do, if, when our very existence as a nation was perilled, we had in the very centre of our dominions persons who had renounced our allegiance to set up against us the protection of other Powers, and who were secretly abetting treason and rebellion against us by their sympathisers ? These London and Manchester houses have been detected in the fact of raising subscriptions in aid of the Greek revolt—many of them have avowed it—and yet they have the consummate effrontery to complain of the only measures open to the Sultan to secure even the very seat of his Government from the dangerous consequences of their intrigues. A sort of sentimental sympathy, a poetical pity, for these Greeks requires examination. Russian agents, who find that there is no longer any chance of detaching any portion of public opinion in this country in favour of the cause of their tyrant, now endeavour to write up Hellenism, and advocate the erection of the Greek nation into a great federal re public. We do not doubt that the Sultan would gladly get rid of them. We are very certain that no Power but Russia would oppose the establishment of a Greek kingdom, or a Hellenic federal republic. But the truth must be told—" 'Tie Greece, but living Greece no more." Some great delusion appears to exist as to the numbers of the Greeks. The lonian Islands can only muster 220,000 souls. The subjects of King Otho do not reach 1,000,000. We cannot trace in Turkey more than a million and a half. They cannot make up a national census of three millions among them all. It is impossible to make a political Power in the East of Europe out of such materials, If it were practicable in the abstract, the Greeks are incapable of executing the mission. In England their merchants are despised and mistrusted. They are without integrity or principle. In London " Greek-houses," as a general rule, are regarded as not worthy of reliance. The terra " levanting," which means absconding from one's engage ments, owes its origin to the conduct of trading concerns in the city connected with the Levant. The fact is, the Greeks, as a people, have passions, but no hearts. They are moved by impulses, not by principles. Without ear nestness, moral intensity, anything sincerely believed or the object of any active faith, either mentally or morally or theologically (although they are abundantly supersti tious), they do not present any spiritual elements out of which a nation can be made. They have a republic in the lonian Islands—yet they prove themselves utterly incapable of government, entirely unworthy of freedom—we are inclined to suspect oven unfit to form an independent society susceptible of any permanent cohesion. They have a constitutional e ? mo narchy under King Otho —what progress h_sa , they mad since they were redee med from Turkey . To call them a nation is ridiculous. They are a confused Babel crowd of unmitigated scoundrels, without honour, humanity, or courage. In Turkey it is not surprising that they are despised. There is but too much reason for Turks refusing accepting their testimony in courts of law. They are now to Europe at large what in the time of Augustus they were to Rome. They cannot be honest. It is not in their nature to speak the truth. They know not what faithfulness or gratitude means. They are the ready instruments of every wrong-doer who will buy them, and the alert panders of every vice. That the Turks conquered them—that they rule them and keep them down now—that a mere handful of Osmanlis have quashed their revolt and crushed them into obe dience —these are facts which prove equally the vast superiority of the one and the futile ineffectuality of the other. The fact is, the Mussulmans are honest, true, have deep moral conviction s , an d man fully act upon them, whilst the Greek Christians are, and have, neither the one nor the other. Of the one there is hope, but none of the other. The attempt to embark our theological sympathies on the side of Russia and Greece is really to libel Christianity. He who knowing not his master's will yet obeyed it was accepted, when the disobedient professor was rejected. The Samaritan was declared to be the neighbour of the Jew who fell among theives, when the orthodox priest and Levite were utterly disowned. Not every one who crieth " Lord ! Lord !" but he who executes his precepts, is the true disciple. That because a cruel, unscrupulous, rapacious, and snivelling tyrant declares that his sole object in stealing his neighbour's kingdom from him is to extend the kingdom of Christ, a crew of book-making clerical quacks should crown him as the providential messenger of God, to universalize the reign of the Re deemer, is only too painful a proof of the fact that ortho doxy regards the Gospel not as a code of moral prin ciples, but as a mere farrago of articles of belief, to be apprehended only speculatively, and swallowed by an 'Vt - i;m — oulli til4c Nin -'4"1""4"411511.1 1 - 00, in the spring o gar rr aileal‘sal w is year young - ' Napier removed to the Renown, a 74-gun ship, car rying the flag of Sir John Borlase Warren. That gallant admiral, though not one of our first-class naval celebrities, was a very distinguished officer. He had joined the navy at a very early age, but after making a voyage or two he entered himself at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, where he became pupil to Martyn, the eminent botanist. On attaining hie majority, Warren purchased Lundy Island, in the Bri tish Channel, and amused himself for time yachting, and afterwards again joined the navy, in which he rose to eminence. Under that a dmiral y oun g Napier went of the expedition to Ferrol, and proceeded to the Mediter ranean, where, in November, 1302, he became a mid• shipman, on board the Greyhound, 32 guns, commanded by Captain W. Hoste. He afterwards shifted to the Egyptienne, 40 guns, in which he made a visit to .St. Helena, and in 1804-5 he successively joined the Me diator and Renommee frigates. He was made a lieu, tenant on the 30th of November, 1305, into the Coma- , geux, 74, Captain Richard Lee. Those were stirring times when Napier was coma mencing his career. The country looked to the navy as its defence against foreign invasion, and as its principal resource in asserting its rank amongst nations. The prowess of our army had not as yet been proved in the Peninsular campaigns, and it is not too much to say that the blue jackets were far inure popular than the red coats. There are some still living who remember with what enthusiasm the most eminent of the naval heroes of that time were hailed on their appearance on public occasions. The highest place was accorded to them at the feast, and the most beautiful partners assigned to them in the ball-room. They had dispelled the panic of invasion, sustained our public credit, and given additional glory to our historical annals ! The musical piece of " The Waterman" enjoyed an amazing run in those days, and Dibdin's words and Incledon's tones were familiar to every tongue and ear. One can easily imagine how, in such times, a bold dashing spirit like that of Napier panted to have an opportunity of performing some gallant exploit. Nor was he long without an opportunity of proving of what stuff he was composed. Though after Tra falgar the enemy did not attempt to dispute the command of the ocean, he endeavoured to annoy our commerce and insult our colonies, by detach ing his ships-of-war in various directions. The Courageux, in which Napier was a lieutenant, was part of the squadron commanded by Sir John Borlase War ren, when, on the 13th of March, 1806, the Marengo and Belle Poule were captured ; and, having shown his energy and zeal for the service in a variety of ways, Napier, in 1807, was made acting commander of the Pultusk brig, then serving in the West Indies, and the Admiralty confirmed the appointment in the same year, so that he was a commander at twenty-.me years of age. In 1803 Napier was appointed to the Recruit, an 18- gun sloop, on the West Indian station, and in her he fought his first action on his own account, and right gallantly he fought it. There was at that time a noted French corvette called the Diligente, carrying 24 guns, and manned by 140 men. She was com manded by a brave and vigilant officer, Captain Le marcsquier, and she had baffled the efforts of our best ships either to take or damage her. On the 6th of Sept., 1808, Napier was cruising in lat. 17 deg. 50 min. north, and long., from Greenwich, 53 deg. 20 m. west. The wind was east by north, and a couple of hours after dawn, while Napier was standing closehauled on the starboard tack, he discovered the Diligente, in the N.E., going free on the larboard tack, in the direction of Mar tinique. The Recruit immediately tacked, and Napier hoisted every rag of canvas that he could spread. At half-past 7 in the morning he fired two shots at the Dili gente, and hoisted his colours. A little after eight the Diligente also tacked, as her skilful captain endeavoured to keep the weather-gage, and shortly afterwards he hoisted a French ensign. At half-past eight the two vessels passed each other within pistol shot, the Recruit on the larboard, and the Diligente on the starboard tack. They exchanged broadsides, and at the very first discharge Napier received a severe wound, from which he still suffers, as is seen in his limping gait. His thigh was broken, and the officers in vain endeavoured to per suade him to go below ; but that would not meet the disposition of one who was not only " ready" but " aye ready." After delivering three broadsides the two vessels then passed out of gunshot, but tacked, and again exchanged broadsides. The Diligente then wore, with the intention of raking the Recruit astern. But Napier was the clever Frenchman's match at everything and he wore also, and brought the French ship to close action with the larboard guns. The two vessels then continued manoeuvring and discharging at each other, and, though severely cutting up the rigging, the Re cruits crew did not suffer much from the enemy's fire ; but her second lieutenant was seriously wounded. At half-past eleven the superior weight in guns of the Frenchman told upon the Recruit , whose mainmast fell overboard, and hung down the stern, trailing in the sea. Napier then worked his bow guns as hard as he could, and, recollecting Nelson's maxim, " Always board a Frenchman, but outmanoeuvre a Russian," he made sever al attempts to board the Diligente, in but the latte adroitely sheered off and succeeded raking the .Re cruit ; and, in the disabled state of the smaller English vessel, While making the there was every chance that the Frenchman would be enabled again to rake her. • attempt to do so, a rattling fire was kept up from the Recruit, which blew up a piece o . f the Di p ente r quarter and cut away her boat filled with small-arm men. On this the Diligente put her helm up, and ran away before the wind. The ships remained within sight of each other, out of gunshot, till the afternoon. Napier and his second lieutenant (as before stated), along with several of his sailors, were wounded, but only one seamen was killed. Every attempt was made by Napier to continue the action, but the Frenchman declined the polite invitation. When Napier, after having rebreeched and remounted his cannonades, bore up to close again, the Diligente set courses and toggallants, and bore away rapidy. Napier rigged a jurymast ; but the Recruit was a slow sailer, and before evening fell the Frenchman was out of sight. The loss of the Frenchman could never be cl e arly ascertained ; but, as the Diligente fell into our hands afterwards at the capture of Martinique, we know that she was 370 tons ; and the loss amongst her crew must have been very considerable to justify her captain in scudding . away before an English vessel greatly his inferior in guns and tonnage. In Captain Lemarcsquier's account of the action lie says that several English ships of-war hove in sight, and that it was from them that he ran away ; but his excuse was like an Old Bailey alibi —to be believed in " with great scepticism." The Re cruit was obliged to make her way into the nearest port to get a new mast ; and, for the present. Pilot will leave Napier refitting in Carlisle Bay, Barbadoes. PILOT. THE CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETY.—The eighteenth public drawing to determine the rotation of choice on all the estates purchased for distribution amongst the members of the Conservative Land Society took place place on the 13th inst., at the offices, 33, Norfolk-street , Strand. The allotment of the St. Margaret's estate, near Richmond, on the 7th of June , imparted great interest to this drawing, rights of choice being now in eager demand. The Rev.

THE ROYAL ALBERT. THE GREEKS. (From the Weekly Dispatch.) It is surely something more certain and less unpre meditated than mere chance which has given to the Emperor of all the Russias his Christian name.

The Czar is the most pious of pick pockets. He never annexes until he has said grace. His proclamations all declare that he only steals for the sake of his religion ; his burglaries have for their exclusive object the propagation of the Gospel. He is truly the Moses Moses of monarchs. His empire is made up of thefts. It is a " back shop " of unconsidered trifles, a bazaar of stolen goods.

( From the Press. ) Having last week taken a historical review of the an. tecedents of the family of Napier, in the present number of the Press, Pilot will commence his accot'nt of the per sonal exploits of "Old Charley" himself. 31e was born on the 6th of March, 1786, being the eldest son of the Hon. Charles Napier, of Merchistoun-hall, oounty of Stirling, Captain R.N. Thus, as " Old Charley" counts a Vice-Admiral of Scotland amongst his ancestors, his own father was a captain in the profession to wh,;ch he has devoted his life. His mother was Christian, daughter of Gabriel Hamilton, Esq., of Westbttrn„ county of Lanark. The admiral is grandson (by a &rat marriage) of Francis, fifth Lord Napier, brother ,of Colonel Erskine Napier, and cousin of the late Lent Napier, who died while discharging the office of Chief Commissioner for regulating the trade with China. He entered the Navy on the Ist of November, 1799, being then 13 years of age, so that he has been afloat 55 years. He joined as a first-class volunteer, and the first King's ship in which he served was the Martin !loop, commanded by the Hon. Matthew St. Clair.
