The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful eon- Sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities and excesses, Which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man u°o4, 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 Phy s i c al condition, and w ho are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know, that there are Principles of personal managem ent which cannot be violated without !Incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the ,, heyday of inconsiderate se lf-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 there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or func a ti c onalure. n'u r anment to which the timely aid of science cann aply e A ge uthor has for a series of years been engagedot in an p extensive Practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which are "fortunately teen too generally confided to the care of ignorant rPirics, w ho inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in their pretensions.

THE W.A.R. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. THE SCREW FRIGATE AmfitioN. 7 —The electric tele graph from the north appears to be filaying some strange tricks with the Amphion, 34, screw, Capt. A. C. Key. We scouted the report of this ship having run ashore, and her officers and crew having been made prisoners at Revel. The telegraph now formally contradicts the unfounded rumour, and we have a letter from the ship, from which we extract the following :—" Amphion, 11th May, Memel. All well on board," &c. THE FRENCH FLEET.—The French Baltic division was left by the Tyne, storeship, Master-Commander Tucker, in Wingo Sound, on the 9th inst. Simulta neously with the launch of the Royal Albert, 131, at Woolwich, the French launched from Rochefort the Ulm, a screw ship of 100 guns. The French, it is said, are behindhand with their machinery ; but it is an nounced that the two screw ships of the line, Jean Bart (new ship) and Napoleon, were in the roadstead at Toulon. By the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Iberia, which arrived at Southampton yesterday, we learn from Gibraltar that the Bth company of Royal Sappers and Miners, under the command of Captain Bourchier, R.E, consisting of Lieutenants Baynes and Graves, and 100 rank and file, embarked on the 29th ult. on board the screw steamer Albatross, for convey ance to the East. A number of Spanish draught mules, purchased at Gibraltar for the use of the Sappers and Miners, had also been shipped by the Albatross. The 30th Regiment embarked from Gibraltar for Con stantinople on the let inst., on board the Cunard steamer Cambria. The horse transport ship Mangerton, with a battery of artillery, passed the Straits of Gibraltar on the 29th The Conner Mi. 50 tram part, with, tlx . 1 .40 11 ;%6 the 39th Foot, under command of Major Wo , and Star of the South, No. 49, with the head-quarters of the same regiment, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Munro, arrived in the Bay of Gibraltar on the 30th ult. The Timandra, No. 51, with the head-quarters of the 89th, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Ferry man, likewise arrived on the same day. They disem barked at the New Mole on the Ist inst. The Earl of Lonsdale steamtug had been engaged by Government. The Caduceus, No. 19, horse transport, put into Gibraltar on the 28th ult. having Colonel Dupuis, of the Royal Artillery, and staff officers belonging to the expedition. The screw transport ship Victoria, with the main body of the 19th Foot, passed through the Straits of Gibraltar on the 29th ult. en route to the East. The Miranda, 15, screw corvette, Captain Lyons, arrived at Spithead during the night of Monday, and went into Portsmouth harbour yesterday morning to fill up with coal, provisions, &c. with all despatch. The Sphynx, 6, paddle-wheel steam-sloop, was un docked at Portsmouth yesterday, after a thorough repair, and will haul into the steam basin this day to be fitted for sea. The Curacoa, 30, new screw steam-frigate, will be re moved from the steam basin at Portsmouth to-day, to be coppered in dock, and hastened for commission. Her Majesty's screw steam-ship Algiers, 90, was warped from the jetty at Plymouth to her sailing moor ings on Monday, and will commence receiving her guns on Tuesday. The Calcutta, 84, Captain Stopford, was placed in the north dock at Plymouth on Monday, to have her copper examined and repaired. The Indus, 80, having been coppered, was taken out of dock at Plymouth on Monday. The Portland, 50, was towed to the jetty at Plymouth on Monday to be examined. The Rhada,manthusi, paddle-wheel steam storeship, Master Commander John Belam, passed Woolwich on Monday for Deptford, where the will remain two or three days to unload and reload stores, and then go to Woolwich to complete her cargo of stores, previous to again proceeding to the western ports. Captain Gascoyne, 1 subaltern, 2 sergeants, 2 corpo rals, 1 drummer, and 90 privates of the Chatham divi sion of Royal Marines, will come up to Woolwich by the North Kent Railway this morning, and there be joined by 1 sergeant, 2 corporals, 1 drummer, and 46 privates of the Woolwich division, and the whole, consisting of 2 officers and 144 non-commissioned officers and men, will then proceed to Loudon en route to Portsmouth, to embark at that port for service in the Powerful, 84. The period of service of the Captain Superintendent of Pembroke Dockyard, Sir Thomas Pasley, expired on the sth inst., his full term having then been completed An extension of time has been given, but it is not yet known who will be his successor. Sir Thomas, by his kind and considerate conduct, has won the good wishes of all classes. The last draught of the Coast-guard has been fetched from the Pembroke district, the whole of the able men under 50 years of age having been now taken. The small detachment of the Royal Artillery have been actively employed in mounting the remainder of the guns sent for the arming of the fort at the west end of the yard at Pembroke. A large quantity of shot and shell is in store ; there is not a single gun afloat for protection, as the Saturn, moored out in the haven, has not one mounted. The following appointments have been made : Captain Thomas Hope (1852) to command the Inde fatigable, 50, commissioned yesterday, at Devonport. Commander Frederick A. Campbell (1846) to the Hor net, 16, screw steam-sloop. Lieutenants Charles 0. H. P. St. John (1846), from the Excellent gunnery-ship at Portsmouth. and James A. R. Dunlop (1853), to the Indefatigable, 50, at Devon port. Several of the Russian prisoners who were on board the Crocodile, having signed the parole engaging not to serve against England or France during the present war with Russia, have been allowed to join the British mer chant service, and they have accordingly shipped them selves on board the Virginia. bound to Honduras. The Paramatta troopship, 56, was towed out of Kings town Harbour at half-past one o'clock on Saturday, and on getting outside made all sail with the wind at N.W. There were loud cheers from the shore, heartily re sponded to from the ship. The headquarters and two troops of the 4th (Royal Irish) Dragoon Guards, arrived in London on Monday from Newbridge, to await embarkation for the East. Six transports have been taken up for the conveyance of this regiment from Kingstown to its destination. The Ajax arrived in Cork on Sunday morning from Portsmouth, with 100 men of the Royal Artillery on board. We are informed that 75 of them, under the com mand of Lieutenant Annkettle, will be quartered in Spike Island, Carlisle Fort, and Camden Fort. Her Majesty has been pleased to appoint Brevet Lieu tenant-Colonel William M. G. M‘Murdo, of the 78th Highlanders, to serve as Assistant-Adjutant-General on the staff of the army in Ireland, vice Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Hastings Doyle, appointed to the staff of the Expeditionary Army under Lord Raglan. On Monday last the 97th Regiment (Earl of Ulster's) had a brilliant field-day in the Home-park, Windsor. After marching past in slow time, they formed hollow square, and medals were presented to Sergeant-Major Derman, Colour-Sergeant Lapham, and privates Hart and Hughes, for length of service and meritorious con duct, by Major Welsford, commanding the parade, who embraced this opportunity of saying that he hoped ere long he should see every officer and man with a well earned medal for distinguished service in the field, and at the same time rewarded by their country's gratitude. This corps, we understand, leaves Windsor on Monday, the 22d, for Southampton, having secured the best wishes of the inhabitants, who part with great regret from so well-conducted a body of men. Its destination, be be lieve, is Athens, being part of the force told off for spe cial service. The depot of the Bth (Royal Irish) Hussars will em bark at Bristol on the 20th inst., for Newbridge, there to be stationed. The depot of the 3d Buffs arrived in Dublin on Mon day evening from Naas, and proceeded to the terminus of the Drogheda Railway, en route for Newry, there to be stationed. The depot of the 2d Regiment, which has been for some time stationed at Fermoy, has arrived in Belfast, to replace the 12th Regiment, removed to Cork. Another depot, that of the 68th, is expected from Newry, in Belfast, so that the depots of two regiments will in future form the garrison of Belfast. The head-quarters and last troop of the 11th Hussars left Portobello Barracks at half-past eight o'clock a.m. on Monday morning, under the command of Major Douglas, and proceeded to Kingstown for embarkation. On their departure from Portobello Barracks they were preceded by the bands of the Royal Horse Artillery, 3d Dragoon Guards, and 16th Lancers, and were accom panied to Kingstown by a large number of mounted Dragoons from the different cavalry corps in Dublin and crowds of civilians. The depot of this corps left Dublin on Monday, and proceeded to Newbridge, there to be stationed. Lieutenant Bamfield, 2d, or Queen's superintending officer in Limerick, received instructions on Friday to raise men in this district for the following cavalry regi ments :-4th and sth Dragoon Guards, Ist Royal Dra goons, Bth and 11th Hussars, 13th Dragoong, and 17th Lancers. The standard is for heavies 5 feet 61 inches to 5 feet 9 inches for men under 25 years, and growing lads under 19 years 5 feet 6to 5 feet 8 inches. For the lights, 5 feet 61 to 5 feet 8 for men under 25 years ; for lads under 19 years 5 feet 6 to 5 feet 7 inches. An order is daily expected in Limerick to raise men for the Royal Artillery. Orders have been received to fit up tho military bar racks at Clonmel and Parsonstswn as places of confine ment for Russian prisoners who may be taken during the war, it being deemed advisable to locate them wher ever suitable and safe accommodation is found as far inland as possible. The 90th Light Infantry has been held in readiness to proceed to India. The depot of the 11th Hussars left Dublin on Mon day for Newbridge. A troop of the 16th Lancers left Dublin on Monday for Cork, there to be stationed. 1 Major the Hon. A. Spencer's troop of Royal Horse Artillery has arrived in the garrison at Woolwich from [PRICE SD. Christchurch, where the troop had been stationed fo r some time past. It is understood that the 27th Regiment (under orders for India) will leave immediately on the arrival of the tran sport chartered for their conveyance, which is expected in the course of the present week. DESTRUCTION OF THE JASPER, GUN-BOAT. We announced in yesterday's impression the loss of the 3-gun paddle-wheel steam-vessel Jasper, on her way from Plymouth to the Baltic, where she was to he em ployed as a gun-boat attached to the fleet of Vice-Ad miral Sir Charles Napier, for which service she was commissioned about three weeks since by Lieutenant Crawley, R.N., with a crew of 25 men and seven-officers. She was one of the few makeshift gun-boats hurriedly commissioned and equipped for the Baltic when the ne cessity for a flotilla of that craft became apparent to the Admiralty. The Jasper was an old packet on the Pem broke or Hobbs' Point station, and was latterly used as a tug, similar to the Pigmy, a sister vessel, and also adapted at Portsmouth to the service of a gun-boat for the Baltic. She was 112 feet 6 inches long, 21 feet 4 inches in breadth, having 12 feet 5 inches depth of hold, of 233 tuns, and 100 horse-power, and stowed coals equal to two days 11.12ths steaming. She carried the upper part of her lower paddle-floats 1 foot 51 inches under water, and her draught as a packet, without ar mament, was 8 feet 71 inches forward, and 8 feet 9 inches abaft. She was lately fitted with one long 32- pounder of 56 cwt., and two 18-pounder carronades, which, doubtless, immersed her several inches more. Having been equipped for sea, she left Plymouth Sound at 4 p.m. on Saturday last for the Baltic. It seems all went well until the morning of Monday, when, at 6.40 a.m., Beachy Head bearing north and by west ' about 14 miles, the commander, who was keeping the morning watch, perceived some flame issuing from the air-casing of the funnel, and sent for the engineer, Mr. Hall, to ascertain the cause; the "report" was speedily returned that the bulkhead at the after part of the boilers was on fire. The engines were stopped, and all hands piped to quarters to extinguish the fire ; the hose of the engine-room pump was instantly rieggedianci-overalve able bucket or other vessel was brought into use, - but without success. The hands, under the directions of their officere, worked at the engine -room pump until the brass nozzle was burnt off the hose, by which time the smoke and heat had become so intense that all hands were obliged to let go the hose. In the meantime, Mr. Batt, supernumerary second-master, had been sent with a party of men and Mr. Blellock, the gunner, to drown the pow der magazine, but, there being no watercocks fitted for such a purpose, water was obliged to he poured in by means of buckets and such other utensils from above as could he brought into play at the moment. At 40 minutes past 7, as the flames broke through the bulkhead of the sprit-room, which was next the maga zine, it was necessary, for the preservation of life, to abandon the vessel. The ship's boats were accordingly cleared away and manned with their proper crews, and then the word was given for every one to save himself and take to the boats, which was done with much order and coolness, the commander remaining on board the burning vessel until every other person was safely in the boats, and all had been mustered and answered to their names. The boats were then rowed away from the ves sel to about half a mile distance, and there lay to, await ing the inevitable explosion. At about 8 30 the smoke on board appeared to sub side ; and a consultation was held by the commander with his officers, at which it was deemed proper to at tempt to revisit the ship, and volunteers were asked for that duty. The master, Mr. Dyer ; Mr. Hall, the en gineer ; Mr. Blellock, the gunner ; and Mr. Batt, super numerary second master, with four men, rowed back to the burning wreck to reconnoitre ; Viey arrived within half-a-cable's length of her, when the flames suddenly burst forth again, setting fire to the mainmast, and the afterpart of the deck fell in with a crash. The boats then pulled out of harm's-reach to about half-a-mile dis tance, and again lay to, and at 9 30 the fire had reached the shell magazine, and an explosion took place, rending the vessel and sinking her, stern foremost, in about 20 fathoms of water. Two ships having perceived the fire bore down to render assistance, when Lieutenant Craw ley despatched a boat to each to warn them not to ap proach too near the vessel, as an explosion was momen tarily anticipated, One of the ships, the Vanguard, of Liverpool, belonging to Messrs. Nicholson and M'Oill, Crosby master, took the Jasper's boats in tow, and pro ceeded with them towards Brighton. The other ship, whose name we are not in possession of, also sent a boat to offer assistance, which was declined, with suitable acknowledgments. Captain Crosby showed the officers and men of the Jasper every kindness, and offered them everything in his possession for their comfort and assistance, the whole of the unfortunate Jas per's officers and men having barely escaped with a little clothing. At 5 o'clock on Monday evening the lost ship's party were landed, after every demonstration of kindness from Captain Crosby, at Brighton, whence Lieutenant Crawley telegraphed the destruction cf the vessel to the Admiralty, and asked for instructions. He was promptly telegraphed back to proceed at once to Portsmouth, and place himself under the orders of the Port Admiral. In the meantime, and before that order from the Admiralty was returned, Mr. Dyer, the mas ter, and Mr. Hall, the engineer, communicated with the local authorities of Brighton, with the view of re lieving the temporary wants of the crew (25 men). The local authorities, the " superintendent of police," and the " high constable" of Brighton rendered them no assistance, but, after keeping them waiting for a long time while they searched for records for information as to what was usual to be done in such cases, replied to their application for aid,—" If you had been soldiers we could have billeted you, but the act of Parliament says nothing about seafaring people !" At about 20 minutes past 7, however, the gallant tars were relieved of all anxiety respecting a meal and lodg ing, by the order arriving by telegraph from the Ad miralty for Lieutenant Crawley to take his officers and crew by railway to Portsmouth, where they arrived be tween 10 and 11 last night, and were well accommodated on board the flag-ship Victory, where they await their trial by court-martial for the loss of their ship. In contrast to the cold-heartedness of the " local authorities" of Brighton, we are pleased to report that Lieutenant Pratt, chief officer of the Coastguard station there, exhibited the utmost sympathy with his wrecked comrades, and tendered them the best assistance in his power, for which, and the unbounded kindness of the captain of the Vanguard, the officers and men express the warmest gratitude ; and all speak in the highest terms of Lieutenant-Commander Crawley, his coolness in the hour of danger, and his kindly consideration for the safety of all around him.

PERIODICAL PRESS AND NEWSPAPER STAMP. The House of Commons was last night employed in discussing a resolution worded singularly in accordance with the difficulty of the subject and the present state of public affairs. If there is one thing harder than another it is to decide what is news and what is not news ; and, if there is one time more unfavourable than another for a process which may probably end in sacri ficing an important item of revenue, it is a European war. So the resolution proposed by Milner Gibson, and adopted by the house, was, that in the opinion of that house " the laws in reference to the periodical press and newspaper stamp are ill-defined and unequally en forced, and that the subject demands the early conside ration of Parliament." A milder resolution it would be impossible to devise. In the abstract it is unde niable ; for the smallest thought is sufficient to remind one that the legal idea of a newspaper and the present application of the stamp are so capricious as to escape all ordinary powers of under s t an di ng . A s t o the " early consideration" which it is said the subject demands, that is a very small affair ; and when Lord Palmerston professed himself ready to acquiesce in the resolution, supposing it was understood to make no malicious reflections, he doubtless thought the prospect of a committee on the subject remote enough to give him little concern. On the whole, we cannot say we think the evening very profitably employed. What is to come of the resolution ? Wind fact is better known, what opinion is advanced, by the revelations of the debate or the unanimity of its conclusion ? The real difficulties of the question are in herent in the matter, for, practically, it would be impos sible to insist on the stamp in every case where a weekly publication communicated a single incident of the pre vious week ; yet, the moment the rigour of the rule is mitigated with mercy and common sense, the law be comes, in the words of Mr. Milner Gibson, "ill defined and unequally enforced." Mr. Milner Gibson, indeed, seems purposely to con tent himself with stating the imperfections of the law, and urging consideration, just stopping short of any practical result, or any intimation of the result which he thought the proposed consideration should lead to. That intimation, however, was more than supplied by Mr. Bright, who took up the subject exactly where Mr. Gibson had left it, and thus moulded a vague resolution into a very distinct proposal. It would hardly be fair to assume that Mr. Gibson and Mr. Bright were last night hunting in couples, and that the former was only driving the fish into the latter's net ; yet we cannot see what consistent conclusion can be come to except that which Mr. Bright has supplied. Take the periodicals in stanced in the course of the debate. Here are the Household Narrative of Current Events, the Penny Com mercial Journal, the Musical Times, the Racing Times, the Athenceum, the Literary Gazette, the Law Times. the Medical Gazette, the Potteries Free Press, the Political Examiner, and the English Republic. Of some of these we cannot be expected to know more than the titles ; bat, if their titles stand for anything, they contain news as well as comments, for it is impossible to comment upon events without stating them. But when the reader has added to the list various periodicals within his own knowledge, he will perceive that it is impossible to draw the line between a periodical that gives news and one that does not. It is true, we can readily imagine a publication not giving news. A clergy man might publish his sermon every Monday morning as preached the day before ; a moralist might publish a paper such as those in the Spectator or the Rambler of last century ; and in these cases there certainly need be no news and no allusion to passing events ; but the pe riodicals under discussion are of a very different sort They relate facts of some kind or other. This they do on their own admission, for there is not one that we are aware of that has not a stamped edition for the purpose of passing through the post. Yet it would be little less than ridiculous to pounce upon any one of them and compel it to be stamped, simply because here and there it told us news which was possibly old, possibly of no general or considerable importance, but still news. Here, then, is the difficulty. For the purposes of revenue we are obliged to tax news, as a species of mental luxury. In so doing Government has in its view the broad sheet of the British newspaper, with its interminable columns of Parliamentary, foreign, domestic, military, civil, scien tific, and legal intelligence. But, unfortunately, the de finition must embrace more than such cases, yet it can not, without a sort of reductio ad absurdum, embrace all. As to the abstract propriety of removing the tax there can be but one opinion, since news cannot be classed with spirituous liquors or tobacco—luxuries that do more harm than good, and which therefore it is right to discourage. Just now it is not very likely that the Chancellor of the Exchequer will give up a source of revenue, There is, perhaps, some sort of fanciful propriety in making those who were so anxious for the war, and who are now still more anxious for tidings from the seat of war, contribute to its expenses. Other wise, with all our talk about knowledge, about the achievements of science, about education, schools, churches, enlightenment, and Heaven knows what not, there is something positively ridiculous in taxing that intelligence which really constitutes the great medium of a civilised country. We make a great stir about teaching everybody to read, and the State, that is, the nation, pays a quarter of a million a-year in teaching children to do little more than read. Then we proceed to tax the first thing that everybody reads. In this way the newspapers pay for the education of the coun try, for they find their expenses aggravated and their circulation restricted by an impost about equal to the sum spent in educating the masses. But we have several times enlarged on the absurdity of a tax which, as it is a tax on news, is a tax on know ledge, and is thus a tax on light, a tax on educa tion, a tax on truth, a tax on public opinion, a tax on good order and good government, a tax on society, a tax on the progress of human affairs, and on the working of human institutions. Mr. Milner Gibson, however, left all this to Mr. Bright, and judiciously stinted his expectations to some possible interpretation or declaration of the existing law that should remove all obscurities as to its sense, and all inequality of opera tion. For the reasons above stated we do not think he will ever obtain these results. We cannot think he seriously desires them. There is no such distinct line between news and no news, so long as we permit any allusion to passing events, unless it is of a purely moral or religious nature. A sermon is not news, but almost anything short of a sermon is news, and would come within the range of a tax scientifically and unsparingly levied. However, the House of Commons is only com mitted to an opinion on the subject, and may attach what meaning it pleases to the " early consideration" which it has unanimously declared the subject to re quire. It will be time to discuss the question more closely when the Russians have left the Principalities and our fleets the two seas ; or when the unquiet spirit that now molests the peace of Europe shall have descended to that grave whither myriads of his victims have preceded him.— Times. SALTASII RAILWAY BRIDGE• On Monday morning last, the great shaft, or caisson, of Mr. Brunei's designing, being ready for launching, a great concourse of people from both sides the Tamar be gan to assemble at an early hour to watch the interest ing performance. Soon after seven, Captain Claxton, R.N., Mr. Brereton, Lieuts. Glenny and Bratchley, R.N., and others connected with Mr. Brunel's engi neering matters, having arrived, the process commenced, under the arrangements of Mr. Campbell, the contrac tor's (C. Mare, Esq.) engineer. Seamen, labourers, and artisans in large numbers being stationed at the lowering crabs, the immense mass of iron was gradually lowered on its well-greased ways, and in about four hours reached the low-water mark, when there was a lull until the evening's flood, which floated it off between six and seven p.m., drawing exactly the water, and resting dia gonally on its side, as calculated by the engineers ; and eventually it was hauled out to the pontoons, in the middle of the Tamar, where we were given to understand it would be sunk at the end of the week, in the presence of Mr. Brunel and the Cornwall and Devon Railway directors. During the day Salrash-passage was visited by the Commander-in-Chief, Admiral Sir Wm. Parker, and all the naval officers in the district, who seemed greatly interested in the operations. The ladies, how ever, preponderated, and stages were provided for their accommodation ; and Mr. Mare, with his usual libera lity, took care there should be no lack of good cheer on the occasion, every little room and office in the place being set out with the good things of this prolific neigh bourhood. When this bridge is completed, Penzance, Falmouth, &c., will be brought by one continuous broad gauge line within nine hours of the metropolis, and our friends in the Great Western, Bristol and Exeter, South Devon, and Cornwall Railways in no slight degree benefited by this whole county feeder. The shaft which is launched is nearly 90 feet long, and between 30 and 40 feet in diameter. It is to be sunk upright, and when tight, a granite pier is to be built, commencing from the Rock of Dun Stone, at the bottom of the Tamar, over which, at high water, there will be no less than 83 feet of water. In the Menai Mr. Stephenson had a rock ready made to hand, the Britannia. Mr. Brunel has to make one, over which, when built up about 10 feet above high water, two cylindrical piers, about 140 feet in height, are to be built of cast iron, and on the top of these, and on either side of the river, on the top of stone piers, built from low water mark, are to he placed the immense cylindrical beams, nearly 50 feet in length, which are to carry the iron railway in the same manner, suspended by chains as the Chepstow-bridge, which has been found to answer so well, and the model of which was seen by so many at the Great Exhibition. The advantages of bridges of this description over the tunnel tubes of Mr. Stephenson is the saving of weight, the quantity of iron used being less than half ; and as a single line is deemed sufficient, it will be built at less than one-fourth the expense of the double one across the Menai. Captain Claxton, R.N., who assisted Mr. Stephenson at all his floatings, has also the charge of the operations on that head, which will be conducted by seamen at the Tamar, and, I we trust, with the same success. MILITIA AND YEOMANRY. Colonel Loftus and the officer of the 3d West York Regiment of Militia, at Doncaster, had some difficulty with their men on Monday, in consequence of some mu tinous spirits among them inciting their comrades to acts of insubordination, as a means of enforcing the pay ment of their bounty money, the second instalment of which they conceived to be due to them, as the period of 28 days, for which they were first called out, had ex pired. The disaffected also endeavoured to excite dis satisfaction on account of the contemplated removal of the regiment to barracks. Pickets of men had to be sent to various parts of the town to fetch up the refractory members, some of whom resisted violently. The delinquents were lodged in the guardhouse, and the drill duties of the day were greatly interrupted. The ringleaders were tried by court-martial yesterday (Tuesday) morning, and sen tenced to various terms of imprisonment in the House of Correction at Wakefield. The men are about to be provided with an extra suit of clothing for Sundays, &c. The regiment of Royal Dorset Militia have now been in training in Dorchester upwards of a fortnight, under the command of Colonel Bingham, who has been assisted by a most efficient staff. The men up to the present time have exhibited great progress, and their orderly conduct has elicited the approbation of the inhabitants. The period for which they have been called out is 28 days, but it is not improbable that that that time may be extended. Several of the men have volunteered into the line. On Monday the Ist West York Regiment of Militia, under Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon. Edward Gambier Monckton, were reviewed in the Park, at Pontefract, by Colonel Marcus John Slade, Inspecting Field-officer. The regiment, which is not very far short of its full strength, and consists of men generally above the average height of militia recruits, presented a very gratifying appearance. After going through a variety of movements they were ad dressed by the reviewing officer, who told them he had seen several militia regiments out this summer, but he had seen none better, few so good, and none so silent and steady under arms as they had shown themselves that day. After the review the men were marched back to the town. The great majority of them were quite wil ling to go into garrison. The 2d Royal Surrey Militia, which has been assembled at Guildford since the a Bth of May, is making great pro gress in its drill. The exertions of all the officers, and of the Adjutant Captain de Tessier, are most praiseworthy. The men are greatly delighted with the idea of being permanently embodied. The Derby and Chaddesden Hussars, under the com mand of Captain Wilmot, have received orders to as semble at Derby on Monday next for the usual period of training. The Tiverton troop of the North Devon Yeomanry Cavalry assembled for drill and exercise at Killerton park, the seat of Sir Thomas Acland, last week. The whole of the regiment will assemble at Sidmouth at the end of the present month. The inspection of the Royal North Glocester Regi ment by Colonel Patton took place on Saturday, the 13th inst. The regiment has been for some time past in training at Cirencester, their head-quarters, and has been allowed access for parade and training purposes to the magnificent park of Earl Bathurst. The men have made great progresss, both in company and battalion drill, and their conduct in the town and neighbourhood has generally been of the most orderly and peaceable description. On Monday the volunteers of the 4th Middlesex Militia, Lieutenant-Colonel Bagot commandant, mus tered at Hounslow, being the first time of the regiment meeting. The men having received their uniforms, the drill and training commenced yesterday. The volunteers to this regiment are extremely numerous, and nearly all were found present on calling the muster-roll. SPORT AT SHREWSBURY. The Shrewsbury meeting is likely to lose nothing in ' comparison with the Newmarket. Its sport at least will be ample, and although the probable competitors belong only to the " second class," yet the opportunities for active speculation will not be wanting. The demand for stable accommodation too, gives indication that the fields will be numerically strong. The list of sport has been most judiciously compiled, the " attractions " of the two days being pretty evenly balanced. The meeting will commence to morrow. Six events are appointed for decision, the Salopian Stakes for three year-old colts and fillies being the first on the list. Of the eight nominations, Thessalian, Stiletto, St. Clair, The Medal, and Wire, only are likely to be enrolled among the competitors. The racing pretensions of these animals are somewhat below than above mediocrity, St. Clair and Stiletto being perhaps the best of the bad lot. St. Clair has an allowance of 3 lbs., but he is one of those slow and sure animals to whom light weights scarcely gives an advantage, and whose speed " York shire Jack" declares would not be increased were he to be started with only a "fourpenny bit" and a pill box tied to his tail. Ile may therefore be vanquished by Stiletto. Should Lord Alfred " show" at Shrewsbury, I shall expect the Longner Hall Stakes to be added to the list of the gallant grey's successes. In his absence the pro. babilities will be in favour of Donald. Of the eighteen acceptances for the Great Cleveland Handicap, it is calculated that scarcely half-a-dozen will be absent when the muster roll is called. Aaront Smith has been much talked about in connection with this event, and his owner, it is said, deems his chance e ' somewhat formidable. On paper the other names wor thy of notice are, in my opinion, Peggy and Tom, and to the " trio" mentioned I shall leave the race. The , Salop Welter Handicap I shall pass over without own ment, and for the other stakes to be contested on the ; opening day the entries are not yet completed,' I The Shropshire Sweepstakes is 'tile leading event on 'M Friday's list. On looking over the handicap, the weights' of Kiteflyer, Montague, and Waterfall appear to be preposterously light. They are each handicapped at • sst 121 b Sitellyer and Indian Warrior I shall select against the field. The weights for the Hawkstone Cap will be regulated by the " selling prices," which have not yet been publicly declared. King Tom is in increased demand for the Derby, and is supported with a spirit and determination which seem likely to pWerfitm - Irrshe-peiition of leading favourite. Rumour attributes his advance in the betting to a highly satisfactory trial which he has had with Middlesex, Orestes, and Hungerford. If report may be believed, he has, indeed, " done wonders in private," for it is said that he conceded 251bs. to Middlesex, 7lbs. to Orestes, and that he met Hungerford at even weights. Middlesex, however, it is said, just won the trial, but that the young 'uns easily defeated the old 'uns. May 17. A FRESH MAN. ANSWER TO CORRESPONDENT. TYRO.—The horse is, I believe, going on as well as his most sanguine backers could desire. Of his trainer's ability no doubts exist. I should certainly advise you to get out of your money on the first favourable oppor tunity, if you have made up your mind not to " stand it." In the course of a few days I shall devote =article to the consideration of the Derby chances. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET SECOND SPRING MEETING. TUESDAY.
