The dividends from many or these are equal to 10, 15, and 20 per cent. upon the outlay while others not yet paying dividends, but having excellent nrospects of soon doing so, afford a`mncisnt scope for speculation, not alone from anticipated early returns to the proprietary, but likewise on account of the great enhancement is the value of the stock at tendant thereon. Mr. JNO S. LANE, 32. Poultry, London, having correspondents in all the richest mineral districts in England, is in a position early to advise his clients.

SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, octor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. MAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, •esulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro- Weed more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ure decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of die sees known to modern pathologist& Long and practical experience ;n the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist once secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in .xistence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri ige3, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their millers modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequene es may be avoided, and above all, I hat there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional ierangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and is the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is free. In selecting thi-i department of practice, he has been amply rewarded by the great success, that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions. At home for consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from 44x till Eight. All letters must contain the fee of 1/,, and advice and medicines can be forwarded to any initials or address. It 13 desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LA'MERT hould first obtain a copy of his work on SELF-PRESERVATION- A Medical Treatise on th e Phil osophy of Marriage and Nervous an d Generative Debility, illust ra t e d b y and des excesses.

COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, FEB. 10. This being the anniversary of her Majesty's marriage, the band of the Ist Life Guards played several select airs on the East Terrace, at seven o'clock this morning. Prince Albert, accompanied by Viscount Mandeville and the Hon. C. A. Murray, went out hunting, attended by Lieut.-Colonel the Hon. A. Gordon. The Princess Royal and Princess Alice drove out in an open carriage. The Queen had a dinner party this day. The com pany included the Duchess of Kent, the Prussian Mi nister and Madame Bunsen, the Earl and Countess of Ellesmere, and Lady Alice Egerton, Viscount and Vis countess Mandeville, the Lady-in-Waiting to the Duchess of Kent, and the Hon. Charles Murray. The band of the Ist Life Guards attended in the Castle during dinner. Hei: Majesty had afterwards an evening party. The following had the honour of receiving invitations :—Lady F. Bruce, Lady Caroline and Miss Barrington, the Hon. and Rev. F. Grey, Mrs. Clive, Col. the Hon. Chas. and Mrs. Grey, Col. the Hon. C. B. and Miss Phipps, Lady Sophia and Lady L. Phipps, Captain the Hon. D. and Lady Elizabeth de Ros, Lieut.-Colonel Hon. N. and Lady Mary Hood, Lieut.-Colonel F. H. and Lady Emily Seymour, the Hon. and Rev. H. Cust, Lady Anna Maria and the Misses Cust, Sir Henry Mildmay, Sir George Couper, Miss and Mr. Couper, Sir Charles and Lady Hotham, Mr. and Lady Caroline Burges, Mr. Gibbs, Mr. Glover, and the Baroness de Speth. A performance of choral music was given in the even ing in St. George's Hall, by an orchestra of 130 per formers. The Queen and Prince Albert, accompanied by the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, the Princess Alice, Prince Alfred, the Royal Dinner Circle, the Evening Company, and the Ladies and Gentlemen in attendance, entered the Hall shortly before 10 o'clock, when the performance commenced. The first part consisted of a selection comprising the Kyrie and Gloria, with the Sanctus and Benedictus from Beethoven's service in C, followed by Weber's Cantata " Praise Jehovah." The solo vocalists were Miss Louisa Pyne, Mrs. Lockey, Mr. Lockey, and Signor Belletti. The band, comprising her Majesty's private baud, aided by a selection from the principal performers of the Philharmonic Society and the Royal Italian Opera. The chorus, 70 in number, were selected from the Royal Italian Opera and the amateurs of the Sacred Harmonic Society, Exeter Hall. The performance was conducted by Mr. Anderson, the director of her Majesty's private band. Mr. W. G. Cusins, organist of her Majesty's private chapel, presiding at the organ. The Duchess of Kent arrived in town on Thursday, and visited the Duchess of Gloucester at Gloucester House, and afterwards returned to Frogmore. A deputation from St. James's parish, in reference to the police, consisting of General Sir De Lacy Evans, Sir John Shelley, Bart., Messrs. Clark, Nelson, Smith, Watkins, and York, had an interview with Viscount Palmerston, yesterday. Despatches for the Governor of Canada were sent last evening from the Colonial-office. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat yes terday, and resumed the hearing of an appeal from Bom bay—" Musadee Mahomed Cazum Sherazee v. Meerza Ally Mahomed Shoostry." The case was again adjourned. The Lords present were—Mr. Baron Parke, the Chan cellor of the Duchy of Cornwall, the Judge of the Ad miralty Court, and Sir Edward Ryan. [ADVBATISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills I ce r tain remedies for Old Sores and Ulcers.—Copy of a letter' from Mr. John Johnson, of Tregaron, Wales, dated December 19, 1853 :—" To Professor Holloway. Sir, —For twelve years I was afflicted with sores on my legs and arms, which gradually broke out into ulcerous wounds, and disabled me from following any of the active duties of life. I tried a variety of medicines, and applied several liniments, without benefit ; but a friend recommended me to use your ointment and pills, which. completely healed tha wounds and 'restored me health, after every other means-had failed."—Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Eatablish wont, 244, Strand s Londoz. It is also intended to send out at least three regiments of cava'ry. We stated yesterday that certain steam-ships bad been taken up for the conveyance of these troops. But at least 20 ships of the largesttonnage will be required to convey troops and supplies. We understand that the government have claimed the ser vices of the contract mail steamers, the exigencies of war be ing paramount to all other considerations. We Lear from Liverpool that there are other steamers than those of Cunard's line of pa.kets that are available for the Queen's service, but it will take three or four weeks to get tuem ready to receive troops. In the Clyde, we believe, there are no steamers available, and Bristol can do little. Perhaps one moderate-s , zed vessel can be picked up there. The value of those much ana wrongly abused iron screw-steamers, so much decried by officials—we allude to the Timoon, by Napier, and Vulcan, by Mare and Co. is new appreciated, and even the Mega.era would be considered almost a godsend, if she were to drop home just now from the West Indies. Next to the steamers of the Royal Nom, it is very clear that, for the emergency f the Goveralamthme w , at, least for the present, look to the great steam companies of London for assistance, and we trust that, as time is beyond all purchase, the authorities will deal liberally with those companies who help the country in the time of need. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's ship Ripon, paddle-wheel, there is no doubt, will convey the first division (1,500 men) en route to the theatre of war ; the Peninsular and Oriental Company's iron screw-ship Himalaya, it is calculated will take 3,000, and the new screw-ship Manilla will take 500. The General Screw Company's fine new iron screw-ship Golden Fleece, ready to go to Australia, to perform the com pany's regular service, will be diverted from her route, and will be fitted at once for 2,000 troops, and the sister screw ship Jason, we have no doubt, will also be employed for the conveyance of troops at terms advantageous to the company. There are other ships that we hear of ready to be offered to the government, and at early notice will be fitted for imme diate service. The Peninsular and Oriental Company have a ship now being converted from a paddle-wheel into a sailing vessel, by Mare and Co., of Blackwall. We hear that by the extra ordinary resources of Mr. Mare's establishment this ship will be turned out of hand in six weeks, and be ready for the con veyance of either stores or troops. The Messrs. Green it is stated have 6,000 tons of shipping to be employed in her Majesty's service, and probably their ships will take out 1,000 horses to Constantinople. Wheresoever we turn we find the order and the means of carrying it out simultaneously received and provided ; and although steam even is no match for time, the mighty re sources of this country—the recuperative energy of English men, there cau be no doubt, cannot be exceeded by our friendly neighbours and allies the gallant French, with whom we are about to fight the battles of patriotism and civilisation, and are beyond comparison superior to all other powers of Europe or Asia. With the sailing transports of the old war, according to our closest estimate, our troops could not be expected to anchor in the Golden Horn under 6 or 7 weeks, whereas by the first rate steam-vessels that we possess or are available, we can, without difficulty, transport our army from England to Con stantinople in at most three weeks, and with such ships as the Himalaya, Golden Fleece, 4c., the distance could be run over in a fortnight. And now a word for our fleets. We may say fleets, for our scale of fitting out at our Royal arsenals scarcely re cognises squadrons. A squadron is created in a day—a fleet is formed in a week ; and the world wonders whence they come. We pass by 120's our 84's and 72's—ships su perior to those vessels with which our heroes made tho ; 4 Ist of June " glorious, added celebrity to the ' 7 liTilet ; and made " Trafalgar " a " household worJ," as so much old stock in trade scarcely worth an Admiralty " Dutch auction." The strength of the country, the re presentatives of our little island, are the mighty marine locomotives, such as the Duke 3f Wellington, 131, St. Jean d'Acre, 101, Royal George, 121, Agamemnon, 91, Princess Royal, 91, Caesar, 91, James Watt, 91, Nile, 91, Cressy, 81, S nspareil, 71, Hogue, 60, Ajax, 60, Blenheim, 60, Edinburgh, 60—fourteen such screw ships as, if properly manned, are a match for 28 sail of the canvas fleet of Russia. Of this fleet we have at present in the Channel or at outports no less than a dozen wearing the Royal pendant, and to-day we shall have an important edition of this mighty force in the Majestic, 81, to be commissioned at Sheerness, and commanded by one of the most gallant and popular officers of the navy, Captain James Rope, C.B.,—the Captain of the Firebrand, who led the way up the Parana, and in his own gig cut the chain which fixed the boom across that noble river at Obligado Point, which gave freedom to the previously pent-up com merce of the country. - We have thus 13 heavy screw-ships for offence or defence in our Channel and ports, with at least half a dozen screw fri gates and corvettes, and as many sailing line-of-battle ships, which are to be in the Downs by the 6th of March next, ready for the signal that shall send them, with the French force that will have joined by that time, to blockade the Rus sian ports or fight the Baltic fleets. Without indulging in surmises we may remark, however, that the fact of reserving the Nile for a flag-ship, and that Nile having been commissioned by a commander who was a lieutenant with Rear-Admiral Berkeley, C. 8., when he code. manded the Thunderer, 84, at St. Jean d'Acre, suggests the belief amongst many that the second naval lord of the Board of Admiralty will be the fortunate officer.—Morning licra2d. ROYAL ARTILLERY. Woobwica, Fes. 10.—There is scarcely anything else talked of in the garrison here than the rumours of preparations for war which are in progress, although not officially announced in general or garrison orders. It is well known, however, that waggon loads of the munitions of war leave the Royal Arsenal daily for the grand depot, where they are carefully packed, and kept in a constant state of readiness, to be forwarded to any part, at home or abroad, on the shortest notice. A report has been circulated to-day that two troops of the Royal Horse Artillery, the A Troop, under the command of Captain Taylor, at present stationed at Canterbury, with the C Troop, under the command of Capt. E. C. Warde, stationed at Woolwich, and six companies who have gone through a course of field battery instruction, or are at present in the batteries, are to be placed under orders to hold themselves in readiness for em barkation for service at the Mediterranean stations, or in any part of the East where their services may be found requisite. The batteries are the first six on the roster for foreign ser vice—Captain Paynter's company, Bth battalion, at present at Tilbury Fort ; Captain Fitzmayer's company, 3d batta lion, at Woolwich ; Captain Harrison's company, 11th battalion, at Woolwich ; Captain Cheetham's company, 11th battalion, atWoolwich; and Capt. Swinton's company, II bat talion, at Dover. TllO troops and batteries are, it is said, to be placed under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Bloom field, of the Royal Horse Artillery, and nephew of the late Lieutenant-General Lord Bloomfield, who was for many years the commandant of the garrison at Woolwich. Captain Har rison, whose company is fourth ou the roster for foreign ser vice, is at present recruiting-officer at Lisburn, iu Ireland, but on his company being placed under orders he will have to join at head-quarters here, and all men on furlough or on the recruiting service will be called to the head-quarters at Woolwich, if they belong to any of the above-named batteries. Preparations are in progress for the formation of an additional battalion immediately, as there are a great number of fine young men recruits at present iu the garrison. CONVEYANCE OF TROOPS.—The Government have taken yes terday from the Peninsular and Oriental Company, for the conveyance of troop, their steamersßipon and Manilla, and also the Himalaya, which is expected back from Alexandria about the 17th inst. The Ripon is a paddle-wheel ship of 1,600 tons and 450-horse power; the Manilla is a small screw propeller of 635 tons and 60-horse power; and the Himalaya is a screw propeller of 3,5e0 tons and 700-horse power. WINDSOR, Feb. 10.—Last night orders were received at the infantry barracks for 350 rank and file of the 2d battalion of Scots Fusileer Guards to hold themselves in readiness to em bark for Constantinople on Thursday or Friday next. It is understood that similar draughts will be made from the six other battalions of Foot Guards, making a magnificent brigade of 2,500 strong from the Grenadier, Coldstream, and Scots Fusilier Guards. The Guards will march from Windsor, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Dixon, direct to the port of embarkation. This morning a party of - 21 oi the Fusileers, accompanied by several non - co mmissioned officers, were despatched to different parts of the country,on the recruiting service, and, in order to facilitate the re enlist ment of men, the standard height of recruits has been lowered of d one inch and a half. Tho object is to increase the tho regiment (two battalions) to 1,600 stro ng. cks, which No orders have, as yet, been received at the cavalry are garrisoned by the let Regime nt of Life Guards ; but it is stated, on apparently good authority, that the f Royal Horse war in e Guards (Blue) will be despatched to the sea o East. Tho usual change of Foot Guards will take place th on the Ist of March. T. I , 10 Fifty-two men of the 9th company of the CUATUAM, . 0.,. . . Royal Sappers and Miners will arrive at Chatham on Tuesday next, under the command of Capt. W. H. Jesse, Royal Engi neers, from Woolwich for the purpose of going through the of duty in field - work instruction, und er the direction of the director of engineering. The wh o l e o f course of D. Jones , these men, with the officer iu command, were present throughout the Kaffir war, under Sir Harry Smith, and suffered severely, and nearly all of them were wounded. They went abroad in 1845, and returned home in 1852. The men are i n expectation of receiving medals for their valuable ser vices. The 7th company of the Royal Sappers and Miners, under command of Captain C. J. Gibb, Royal Engineers, con sisting of 101 men, will arrive at Woolwich on Tuesday next, from Hurst Castle, near Portsmouth. DUBLIN, Feb. O.—Recruiting, is going on very briskly in Dublin at present. Great numbers of young lads, under the regulation height for the line, are offering, but rejected on that account. If there was a new battalion of riflemen ordered, the ranks would soon be filled up with active young fellows, every way fitted for such a service.—Evening Post. LIMERICK, Feb. O.—No official information has yet been received by the 14th of their departure from this garrison. and we are of opinion that the early dates fixed on which the regiments are to embark, as stated by our metropolitan con temporary, are erroneous. Recruiting parties belonging to the 14th Regiment, with full band, traversed Limerick this day, inviting youths to enter her Majesty's service to the tunes of " Garryowen," " Patrick's Day," &c., and 5/. Ios. bounty. Now is your time, boys. Within the past week over 100 boys have left the workhouse to join the army. Coßk, Feb. 9.—On Tuesday the draft of the 59th Regiment Was put on board the Surge transport at Queenstown, for Hong Kong ; and the first division of_ the 9th Regiment Stall a t hs he o ir pu reo t on pecti board y° ciegthati the Gaol:int:bury T h eservice tr ansport l M e e I Mediter ranean. ranean.

J ac kets will be issued to Nos, 3, and 4 horse field-batteries as clothing for the year 1853. The order is to be considered as having had effect from the 10th ultimo. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE, PORTSMOUTH, FXB. 10. Tho Neptune, 120, Captain E. H. Scott, sent up lower yards and topmasts yesterday, and last evening received 90 Coast-guardmen from the Sussex coast. She will have 400 of these, instead of 300, and the Excellent, only 200, we believe. _ The Nelson, 120, advanced ship, was removed from the fitting basin to-day, to make more room for ships going in and out of dock, dm. The Edinburgh, 58, screw block-ship, 'Captain new lett, arrived at Spithead this afternoon from Plymouth, to take the flag of Rear-Admiral Chads.

An English frigate was off the Eddystone about half. past 4 on Thursday afternoon, going up Channel. A French paddlewheel man-of-war steamer, painted all black, went up Channel, under canvas only, at 3 o'clock on Thursday afternoon. She fired several guns off Wrinkle, in Cawsand bay. The joiners of the Devonport Dockyard have been ordered to work from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. to,,expcdite the fittings of the various ships. Fifty-two labourers are to be entered to fill vacancies occasioned by the absence of the seamen riggers who have been transferred to ships in commission. 500 Coast-guardthen arrived yesterday by train from the eastward, to join her Majesty's ships here. About one-half of the men belonging to the Coast guard service in this district have received ten days' notice to prepare for removal or embarkation. They look forward most cheerfully to their new employment. Notices have been issued to all Greenwich pensioners under 60 years of age to assemble on the 21st inst., in the Long-room Barracks, for inspection by officers of the Admiralty. SHEERNESS, FEB. 10.
