The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, ties and excess irreguladtl , es, which have pronuced more misery in youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages opt fe, than, per taps, any other class of disease known to modern pologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret d h ou z b a ts d of their physical condition, and who a re conscious of hav a r ed mg the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary thatall m en should know, that there are I principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous It' penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these pena ie d s may be mitigated, bow the sting of their bitterness may be remove and how the evil and its con,equences may be avoided, and above a ll, that there h,,cgrcely any desTee of physical indrmity or functional derangem e nt to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. TheAutbor has for a series of years been engatfed in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate ceniplaints, which have unfortunately teen too generally cot:flied to the care of ignorant Pirles, who inglet great injury on those who are i nduced to place faith in their pretensions.

Hier apricht man Deutsch Aqua sa Espana - We must again remark, with astonishment and regret, that the Government and the public of this country, at a moment when every thought and feeling of are no less the nation are concen trated on the events of the war, than 15 or 16 days in arrear of the course of eve nts, although ten days at the outside ought to mails o ters from the Crimea. It is needless for us to enlarge on the inconvenience of this incredible want of Post offie.a arrangements, for the Ministers of the Crown, whose responsibility is more deeply engaged in these operations than that of any other person, are the first to suffer from the want of a frequent and regular mode of transmitting to this country the official correspon dence of the army. Here, again, we have a striking illustration of the dif ference between the intentions of the Government and the fact. It was intended, we know, as we are informed by the Post-office circular, that there should be a regu lar and prompt communication between England and the head-quarters of the army every five days. But by some means or other, three times five days have now elapsed since the dates of the last mails which have reached England. Some of the French and Austrian boats by which mails are forwarded to Marseilles or Trieste go the round of half-a-dozen ports in the Levant, stopping a day at each ; and it is but seldom that the bags are transmitted direct and at full speed. Even when Lord Burghersh was sent with the despatches re lating to the battle of the Alma, which were expected with such feverish impatience by the whole country, he started in the Fury, a vessel which could never perform more than eight knots an hour, and was beaten by twelve hours between Malta and Marseilles by the ordi nary French packet. At the present time intelligence has frequently arrived by way of St. Petersburg more rapidly than by the Danube or Marseilles, so that the Emperor of Russia has acquired, by means of the tele graphs now established between his capital and the southern provinces of his empire, an advantage of five or six days in the transmission of information over the Western Powera, Circumstances might occur under whi.zh that difference of time would be of the utmost consequence, and every means ought to be taken to accelerate to the utmost our correspondence with the seat of war,—Times. NURSES FOR T THE WOUNDED IN URKEY. We are authorised to state that Mrs. Nightingale, who has been for some time acting as superintendent of the Ladies' Hospital, at No. 1, Upper Harley-street, has undertaken to organise a staff of female nurses, who will at once proceed with her to Scutari, at the cost of the Government, there to act under her directions in the English Military Hospital, subject, ofcourse, to the autho rity of the chief medical officer of the establishment. Mrs. Nightingale will, herself, select the persons who will ac company her, and will recommend them to the War office for certificates, without which certificates of course no one will be admitted to the hospitals. After her departure arrangements will be made for granting certificates on the recommendation of persons to whom Mrs. Nightingale will have delegated the duty, to such number as may, from time to time, be forwarded to Scutari upon her requisition. By this arrangement it is hoped that much confusion and disappointment may be prevented, it being obviously impossible in any hospital, but especially in a military hospital, to admit as nurses any persons offering themselves, without any proof or evidence of their possessing the knowledge, experience, an d ;_,-emeral capacity requisite for duties so difficult and so ee,-pseisibl.:', 0... d the willingness to submit implicitly to the regulatlO ns of one central authority. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. The Royal Albert has completed her coaling, and is ro k ceiving her armament of low er, middle, and upper dec guns in. The Duke of Wellington, 131, on her return from the Baltic, is to come to Plymouth to be docked at Keyharn. It is reported that the Exmouth, 91, new screw steam ship, fitting at Plymouth with engines of 400-horse power, will be very soon commissioned. by Captain the Hon. F. Pelham, of the Blenheim, 60, screw, and that Captain (Nemesis) Hall, of the Heels, S, steam-vessel, will succeed Captain Pelhain in the command of the Blenheim. The Constance, 50, is ordered to be fitted as an advance ship at Plymouth. The Thetis, 40, is to be clocked at Plymouth on Saturday next, and repaired, after whidi she will be jury rigged, and, it is confidently reported, exchanged for two Prussian gun-boats, fully equipped for immediate service. The Tartar, 21, screw steam-corvette was taken out of Woolwich basin yesterd a y , and proceeded in charge of Mr. Pym, additional master of the Black Eagle, to Chatham, to be rigged and completed at that fort for sea. She draws in her present state 10 feet 11 inches forward and 14 feet 3 inches aft. The Monkey accompanied her to Chatham to bring Mr. Pym and the men who navigated her. The Miranda, 15 , Capt Lyons, left Portsmouth yester day for the Black Sea, calling at Plymouth, to take in a mail which is to arrive there for her to-morrow. The Horatio has been put out of dry dock, and remains under fitting in the basin. The Cossack remains in harbour still, her captain being engaged on the courts-martial, now sitting on board the Waterloo. --- THE SUPERINTENDENT OF WOOLWICH ARD. Sir James Graham has selected Capt. Horatio Thomas Austin, C.B. (1838), to succeed the late Ca p tain Martin as superintendent of Deptford dock and victualling establish ments. Captain Austin will bo recognised as an officer of great energy and extensive experience. As a captain he is known as the commander of the Cyclops, steam -frigate, in the operations on the coast of Syria and at Acre ; as the officer who mainly assisted to get off the Sphinx from the rocks at the Isle of Wight ; who acted for some time as super intendent of Woolwich Dockyard; who commanded the Blenheim as superintendent of the steam-reserve at Ports mouth ; then as the chief of the Arctic Expedition in search of Sir John Fr anklin ; and latterly as superintd ent of the packet service at Southampton. APPOINTMENTS. Master Charles C. Scott (1854), to be a chief officer in the Coast Guard. Masters' -Assistants—Frederick Hunter, to the Rodney, d flag-ship at Woo lwich ; Michael S. Gray, to 90, on the Mediterranean and Black Sea station. Second Master —W. B. Calver (1846), has been promoted to the rank of master. MEDICAL OFFICERS FOR THE EAST. A reinforcement of medical officers beim; required for the Feat of war, the following have been selected from the medical staff at Chatham to proceed immediately to Con stantinople and Sebastopol:—J. Newton, J. Summers, and F. Rutter, second-class staff surgeons at the Invalid Hospital Fort Pitt, Chatham. The above gentlemen are ordered to proceed to Constantinople, and Assistant-Sur geon Johnstone. 65th Regiment, has proceeded from Chat ham to Portsmouth, to embark with a reinforcement of Artillery for Sebastopol. It is expected that another draught of medical men will be required from the hospitals at Chatham for the seat of war. During the week 12 additional surgeons have been de spatched from Ireland to the East to attend on the wounded. ARRIVALS FROM THE BALTIC. The cutter Sparrowhawk arrived at Portsmouth during 1 the gale of last night, from the Baltic. She was despatched to the Baltic fleet by Messrs. Edwin Galt and Co., wine merchants, of this port, and joined the fleet at Baro Sound in July, was taken in .tow by her Majesty's ship Arrogant to Ledsund, and thence to Bomarsund by the Termagant ; left Bomarsund three days after the siege, touching at Stockholm and Copenhagen. On the coast of Norway 1 there has been a succ ession of heavy westerly gales. The Sparrowhawk was windbound at Christiansand for three weeks. At least 300 vessels remained in the ports of Area dal, Christiansand, Gamla, Hellesund, and Mundal, from stress of weather. Among these were eight Russian prizes, in charge of Lieutenant Bathurst, of the Archer, Lieut. Hall, of the Conflict, and Mr. Curtis, mate of the Cruiser. The Sparrowhawk has brought home many !interesting trophies from Bomarsund, the keys of Fort Nottich being among them. Mr. Edwin Galt and Mr. Baldock have re turned in her. The Lightning steam-vessel, Captain B. J. Sulivan, re turned from the Baltic on Tuesday evening to Woolwich, in charge of Lieut. Cudlip, Captain Sulivsn having been ordered by Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Napier to remain on board the Duke of Wellington flag-ship until the return of the fleet from that sea. The Lightning accomplished her duties as a surveying vessel in a highly satisfactory man ner, and, having run in close to Cronstadt, bad a good op portunity of reconnoitring the strength of that fortress. The mouth of the harbour is narrow, and one ship only could enter at a time, which she would have to do under the concentrated firing of 101 guns, and if she passed the outer entrance she would receive, before entering the inner harbour, the concentrated firing from 280 guns on a double tier battery erected at its entrance, and in which 14 ships of the line are now lying. The walls are of solid granite, 18 feet thick, and it would require a considerable land force to aid a powerful fleet when attempting 'to destroy the fortifications. The Leopard, 18, paddle-wheel steam-frigate, Captain George Giffard, whose arrival at Spithead from the Baltic we announced yesterday, left Oregrund, Gulf of Bothnia, on the Bth inst., Faro the 10th, and addle C ope nhagen the 13th. At Oregrund she left t he Odin, 16, p-friate, Captain Scott, and at Baro Sound, the Cruiser, 14, screw, Commander the Hon. G. Douglas, and the Gorgon, 6, paddle-sloop, Commander P. Cracoft ; the Hecla, 6, paddle, Capt. Hall, and the Driver, 6, Commander Rice, were at Elsinore ob taining supplies for Rear-Admiral Plumridge's squadron at Kiel. The Leopard has be en and is extremely healthy. She passed two French line-of-battle ships and three steamers off Wingo Sound, homeward bound. She has brought home Lieutenant Magrath, of the Odin, on pro motion, and, as trophies, a 13-inch mortar and a long 24- pounder, captured at Bomarsund. The Sprightly, port tender, had been in the Channel all night, on the look-out for the Leopardi to inform Admiral Martin of the illness of his father (the Admiral of the fleet), and to hasten him to his bedside ; and, immediately on arriving in the Leo pard, the Sprightly took him out at Spithead, and con veyed him into Portsmouth harbour, towing his barge astern to land him without delay at the dockyard. No. 118 transport, Lieutenant Robinson in charge, has returned from the Baltic to Deptford, and has brought home several trophies of the attack on Bomarsund, among which are two helmet -shaped caps of the let Regiment, remarkably well made, of black polished leather, with pieces for defending the head from the blow of a sword, in addition to the front plate. They are lighter and much softer, and sit easier on the head than the shako of the British service. The spike rising from the top is admira bly adapted for ventilation, and the strong tinning inside has the name of the owner upon it in Roman and Greek .otters each an inch long. LITE SHELLS AND ROCKETS FROM THE BLACK SEA. The Palmyra, transport, which brought invalids and stores from the Black Sea and Malta, has completed the time for which she was hired. When her stores were dis charged at the dockyard great consternation was pro duced from several cases being found to contain live shells and Congreve rockets. THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION. It is most currently reported that after the present court-martial now sitting on Captain Sir Edward Belcher is finished, three other courts-martial will sit on officers connected with the expedition for drunkenness. Friday is named for the first of them to take place, as, under present circumstances, Sir Eward Belcher's case is not expected to be concluded till tod-day. ROYAL ARTILLERY. Four pinnaces of the Fisgard, flag-ship at Woolwich, in n charge of Mr. Bean , master, serving on board, proceed to the Royal Arsenal on Tuesday morning, and towed the right half battery of 9-pounder guns of Captain Gibbon's company, 12th battalion, across the Thames, in barges, to North Woolwich, on the Essex side, and the half battery marched thence to Norwich, where the entire battery is to be stationed. The pinnaces proceeded to the Royal Arse nal, on Wednesday morning, and towed across the left half battery, on its way io Norwich. THE SCREW STEAMER JURA. The large iron screw steamer Jura, to which we Corkreferred yesterday, will leave L iver p ool on Saturday mposed for o , w here she will embark abo ut 1,200 troops, co detachments of various regiments for Constantinople. She has on board upwards of 500 tons of Ordnance stores and other supplies, received from the Tower and Chester L Castle. MISCELLANEOUS. Captain Smyth's field battery, Royal Artillery, leaves the garrison at Woolwich this morning for Ipswich. Two more Russian vessels, one called the Elise Wilhel• mina, Peterson late master, and the other the Esso, Sanders, master, have been seized as Crown droits by the officers of Customs at Leith. Yesterday the baggage of the detachment of the 23d Foot, on duty at the Tower, left for the depot at Win chester ; the men march this day to be ready to embark for the Crimea. The Russian schooner Volga, prize to the Miranda , laden with rye meal, under pilot charge of, and as prize -master, Mr. Ireland, late pilot of the Eurydice, left part of the prize crew at Sheerness, on board the Waterloo, only taking sufficient men to navigate her to London. This prize is said to be valued at 1,400/., ship and cargo. She arrived at Sheerness on Tuesday, and proceeded for the West India Docks the same day. Colonel Sir Ch arles Hamilton, of the Guards, arrived at the War Department with despatches from Lord Raglan. Smyth's field battery Royal Artille r y leaves the Captain gar riso at Woolwich, this day morning, for Ipswich. -- __ MILITARY. The newly-appointed co mmander-in-chief for this dis trict, Major-General Eden, arrived hero on Saturday last.

THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION. COURT-MARTIAL ON SIR EDWARD BELCIIER. SHEERNESS, Wednesday Night.—The court-martial re assembled this mornin g on board the Waterloo, flag ship of Admiral the lion. W. Gordon, at Shot:moss, to proceed with the trial of Captain Sir E. Belcher, commander of the late Arctic squadron, for the less of her Majesty's ship Assistance, and also for having recommended the abandon ment of her Majesty's ships Investigator, Resolute, and Pioneer. Admiral Gordon presided, and the other mem bers of the court were the same as on the previous day. The court was much crowded by officers throughout the day, and .the greatest attention was paid to the proceedings. Sir Edward Belcher appeared as a prisoner, guarded by the master at arms, but was allowed to be seated during the day. The following evidence was then taken :-- Commander Richards, sworn. The Deputy Judge Advocate—Do you command her Ma jesty's ship Assistance ?—I do, and did so in August last. Was Sir tdward Belcher the captain of that ship • I—He was s ) in the month of August last. g State to the court the circumstances connected with the abandonment - of her Majesty's ships Assistance and Pioneer. —The Assistance broke out of her winter quarters in Dis aster Bay, Sir Edward Belcher having left for Beechey Island. The Assistance was at Cape Osborne on the 25th of August. We got about half a mile further by blasting of gunpowder,-and she was then docked in the floe. The Assistance sailed and steamed down, towed by the Pioneer. There was no chance of moving her after that, and I in formed Sir Edward Belcher of it by letter. On the 10th of August Sir Edward Belcher returned with some officers of the Resolute and Investigator. On the 24th I gave orders for preparing the ship for withdrawing from the ice. On the merning of the 25th we left. From the position the ships were in, was there any chance of getting through the ice that summer?—The ehances were very small. Was there any water seen beyond the ice ?—No. Did you express any opinion to Sir Edward Belcher on receiving the order to abandon the ship ?—I had a conver sation the evenin. , before, and expressed my opinon that heavy gales could release the ships. Did you give any opinion on the propriety of the aban donment of the ships ?—No. Or make any observation ?—I knew it was Sir E. Bel cher's intention, if the ships did not break out, or he re ceived intelligence from England, to abandon them. How long-had you been in the ice?—Since August, 1852, except the time occupied in navigating the Wellington Channel. The President —You navigated the Wellington Channel from 1852, did you remain stationary all that time ?—No, we remained stationary from August. 1852, till July, 185:3. We were frozen in again about Sept. 1, 1853. We were blown out of winter quarters by a heavy gale in 1853, and we regained it on the 13th or 14th. We were then frozen in again until Aug. 6, 1854. Then there was no possibility of moving her from August, 1852, to July, 1853 ?—Not in the least. Do you know what distance you had to go from winter quarters to open water ?—The distance was from 20 to 30 miles the day we left the ship. Were any efforts made to extricate her from the ice ? Yes ; by blasting. half Haamile—d that but any e weffect could get 7—lt got her b no further a certain distance — Sir T. Pasley—What was the date of your entering Wellington Channel 7 In August, 1852. What was the state of Wellington Channel 7—lt was then almost clear of ice. How far did you go up Wellington Channel before you wire stopped by the ive that year ?—To Northumberland Sound, at the head of it. Was that in the Assistance 7—ln the Assistance and Pioneer. Were those your winter quarters that year 7—They were. In returning next year, was the state of the ice very different ? Yes. There was scarcely any water to be seen. Was the state of the ice in 1854 such as to render it im racticable and hopeless in getti n g throu g h Wellington Channel to the southward ?—ln 154 it was as bad as 1853. Captain Wyvill—What condition was the ship in when you left her on the 25th of Angust 7—She was ready for sea, but not very tight. Had she received any injury from the ice ?—She had received some pressure, and had been forced on shore by the ice. She made more water than she did the first year. Had the Pioneer received any injury or accident?—She was cast on shore in 1853. Did you consider a serious damage arose from that? —No. the intention captainha have to st ot abandone d that the eu ships knew f i t they was a n p o t t i i b n r eak Tacker—You oofu tthb August. e yacertain day. Can you state what h the ice You have stated that you got half a mile through 9 'about day ?—Witness—lt was between the 20th and 25th of in 1854 by blasting ; how long were you doing it . 16 hours, but we were favoured b y circumstances, as the ice was detached about half a mile from the shore, the curren t helping us to clear the ice. About 7or 8 cwt. of powder were used. say the greater part of them were su fferin g from the effects What was the state of the ship's company of the two preceding winters ? C a pt a i n Stewart—Had you provisions f o r another year if you had remained ? — We had for m ore than another y e ar, with the exception of preserved meat , of which we had none. ?—I should t What intelligence had been received of Cap. Collinsen's movements at the time 3on left ?—That a notice had been found at Princess Royal Island, stating that he had gone southward. Then, if he had continued in that course might he have reached you ?—Very possibly. Captain Fanshawe—You have stated that there was little chance of getting through the ice that summer; Yon had 12 months' provisions on board, and the damage was not serious. Do you consider it would have been consis tent with security to have remained another winter, con sidering the state the ship was in ?—I consider she wa s in a very insecure position, and I think remaining another winter would have proved fatal to a great number of the crew. The chances of securing a place for the next winter would have been very small, or of getting to Boechey Island. Do you allude to the health of the crew when yo u say it would have been fatal ?—Yes. If you had cut into a place of safety for the winter, would the ship have been in the ensuing summer in a worse place for abandoning her if you had desired to aban don her ?—Certainly not. Was there anything to prevent you from re ceiving i n. telligence from Captain Collinson, or the raining p edi tions ?—No. Sir Edward Belcher—l think you have seen the effect of the gales at the place where you loft the ship. I mean such a gale as blew on the sth of August, 1853. Do yo u think the Assistance in a similar gale, w ith such masse s as we found when the Halkett's boat was discovered, cou ld have lived in that position ?—lf the Assi s tance bad g ot among ex such masses of ice it would, probably, have been destroyed. Was it near the place where M. Ballot perished from the w a h t e was n las t t h l e e g ft re i a n te A st ug t u h s i t ck ? sudden disruption of the ice ? It was about fou r miles from where we left the ship. Wh You have stated 20 or 30 mil es t o b e the probab le dis tance of open water from th e ship, wa s the distance be tween our first anchorage and Beechey Island 52 miles dif ference in latitude ?—lt was. --"Aboofutic4eB near the the Do you consider the last p os iti on i n your own ch art to Assist ance be a difference of 42 miles in latitude from Beecheylsland ? —Yes. Are you aware that the ice on the 26th of August, IW, was computed to be 36 miles north of Beechey which would give 36 miles from the ship to the water ?—I took it to be 15 miles from the floe. Was it not considered that the 26th of August was the latest date at which it would be safe to remain at Beechey Island, and was the Phcenix hard pressed to escape at that date it 1852 ?—I believe she was. Do you not know that I was commanded toreturn when ever my provisions should be reduced to twelve months ? The question was requested to be postponed. With respect to Captain Collinson, do you know whether Peel's Channel is navigable ?—I do not. What reason have you for supposing that Captain Col linson would desert his ship, and come up that channel ? I think it probable he would have sent some of his crew that way. If he had found another ship, he would not have come to Beechey Was not the depot at Beechey Island 7—The North Star was there, and also a house. By cutting or docking in, I suppose, you allude to tem porary security, and not from the ice breaking up ?—To have remained would have been possible with much labour to cut into a place fer security. Even if such a gale as Aug. 18, or Oct. 11, 1853, de stroyed all the ice on that shore ?—lt might have been blown out, as every ship might be, unless land-locked. Can you point out any land-lock position near the ship ? —There is no place not open to the width of the strait. Did we not consider the ships safe and firmly froze in, and no signs of open water on the 10th of October, 1853, when the ships were blown out ?—The ships were ix% very exposed position, but I do not think any one fancied they would be blown out. Were they housed over for the winter ? They were per fectly prepared. What reason have you to suppose that Capt. Collinson, having more provisions than the Investigator on board, would desert his ship, and seek for provisions at Beechey Island ?—I think most likely that he deserted his ship in 1854, and he might have done so. Has an unreserved communication taken place every day on the affairs of the expedition?—Yes, there was neces sarily every day a conversation about travelling. Was it in consequence of such discussion that I changed my orders, and sent you to Captain Kellett ?—lt was. I considered that it was my privilege, in consequ ence o f b e i n g senior commander, to have the command of the ex pedition to the west, and I told Sir Edward Belcher so. Mr. John F. Loney, master of the Assistance, was s worn. The Deputy Judge-Advocate—Are you master of the Assistance 7—l am. Is the log of that ship now produced kept by you?—lt is, and the greater part of it is in my handwriting. Is it correct in every particular ?—As far as I know. If it wore incorrect, must it have come to your know ledge ?—I think it must. Were you on board the Assistance just before the time she was abandoned 7-1 was. state to the Court ti-z, circumstances of her abaudon- went.—Sir Edward Belcher arrived on the 23d of August, accompanied by several officers of the North Star and Resolute. On the following morning orders ,were given for her abandonment. The hatches were battened down, anchors were made fast, and the ship prepared for leaving. At four o'clock the next morning the ship was abandoned. The ship was then lying in lat. 75 23 and long. 92 30. The ship was then in a very unsafe position, being about half a mile from shore. How far was she from open water ?—She might have been 20 or 23 miles. In what state was the ship and her tender ?—ln every respect fit for sea. Was she at all damaged, or he/ tender damaged ?—They were both slightly damaged from getting on shore. How long had you been in Wellington Channel ?—Since August, 1852 Was there, in your opinion, any probability of her getting out of the ice that summer? —There was a possi bility, not a probability. Would it have been safe to have remained in or neer the place whore the ship was during the winter months ? Certainly. And in that case could you have left in the ensuing sum mer ?—Certainly. The President.—How lcng was the ship in the position you mention, half a mile from the shore ?—Witnees —About 15 days. What was her position before ?—About half a mile to the westward. Had you been driven that half mile from the weather ? —No. Daring the time we were in that position the ice opened from the shore, and, by blasting, we succeeded in getting down half a mile. The distance blasted, however, was not more than 400 yards. What amount of provisions had you on board ?—About one year's supply of the principal articles. Captain Pasley—Was the ship on her way down Wel lington Channel when she was beset ?—She was. Was the ice thick ?—About 11 feet thick, Had you any previous experience of the ice in Welling ton Channel ?—Not before the expedition of 1852. When you went up Wellington Channel was it clear of ice ?—Yes. Did it appear to you probable from the lateness of the season that the ship would be able to make a passage to Beechey Island in the state of the ice ?—My opinion is she could not, but it is impossible to say. Captain Fanshawe—You say the ship was in an unsafe position. Was it temporary ?—I mean that it was tempo rary from the heavy nature of the ice, being close to the shore, and if the ice had suddenly broken up she might have been forced on shore. Sir Edward Belcher—ln what soundings was the ship in her westerly position, half a mile from where I found her ?—The ship in her first position was 31 fathoms, and in her second it gradually decreased towards the shore. In she ono spot we had as little as four fathoms, and in her last position in secure ur ein fathoms. e your u r first T h l ead position, w le g o w i hags the e whole time. Before you u was were in 73 fathoms by the log ?—I think it probable she may have been. Have you any reason to know an official report to that effect was made to me in writing ?—I find 58 fathoms from the log, and it is quite possible it might have been more. Was it not possible that another half-mile would have placed the ship high and dry from the steep nature of the beach?—l think half-a-mile would have placed her ashore. Are you aware, from the report of the officers who found the bay open in October, 1853, near the spot where Lieut. Bellot perished, they considered that it would not be a safe place •to take the Assistance to when the gale of October, 1853, left me that option ?—I believe Commander Pullen told me so. How long have you served with me ?—Seven years. Have my conversations with you in the service con nected with the proceedings been open and unreserved ? During my service with you in the Semarang . you were in the habit of conversing with me ; but during my service in the Arctic regions you did not do so, which I attribute to my not having had any previous experience in th e ice. During our sledge journeys were you my companion for 52 days in tent, and wore not these matters unreservedly and privately canvassed ?—They were. Mr. David Lyall, surgeon, sworn. The Deputy Judge Advocate—Were you surgeon of the Assistance in August last ?—I was borne on her books, but was not acting as surgeon. When did you leave the Assistance ?—ln May, 1854. Whore did you go for then ?—The North. Star. With Sir E. Belcher ?—No. Did you, previous to leaving in May, make any survey of the crew ?—I (lid. Can you state the result of the survey, and when it was made?—lt was made a few days before I left, and from what I saw I considered the lives of several and health of many of the ship's company would have been endangered by another winter in the ice, in the circumstances in which the Pioneer and Assistance were placed. Did you so report to Sir Edward Belcher ?—I did. The President—Had you any previous experience in the Arctic seas ?—I had previous experience in the ice, having been with Sir Jas. Ross in his Antarctic voyages as assist ant surgeon. Were the crew generally healthy during the time they were on board the Assistance ?—Until the last winter they were. Sir T. Pasley—Had any game or animals been preserved during the winter quarters of 1852, 1853, and 1854 ?—ln the autumn of I.izs'6 some walrus were killed, and during that winter several bears were also killed. No game of any kind was obtained. That was all that was killed in the winters of 1352 and 1853. No bears or walrus were killed in 1854. There was no fresh meat of any kind dur ing the two last winters, and very few of the men would eat either walrus or bears. Was any game y seen in the neighbourhood of Cape Os borne or Beechey Island?-one deer was seen near Cape Osborne ; a few hares and some ptarmigan were also seen, but none shot. Captain Wyvill You say the ships' crews were in danger from the position in which the Pioneer and Assist ance were placed. Do you mean from the exertion they would have to make or the food they would have to live upon ?—From both. Captain Stewart—Did you see any natives ?—We saw none after leaving Uppernavik, in Greenland. Sir E. Belcher—Before the arrival of the Phoenix, on Aug. '24, 1854, were you aware that no preserved meats could be spared from the depot placed for Captain Collin son's support at Beechey Island, and wore the crew of the Assistance endangered by the total absence of preserved meats, should she be compelled to winter ?—I understood none could be spared from the depot. The want of pre served meats would have had a serious and prejudicial ef fect on the health of the craw. Independent of the health and comfort of the crew, are you not personally aware that the officers had no remain ing stock to render their winter comfortable ?—I am. Sir T. Pasley.—Hove many men could have been found sufficiently healthy to have stayed in the ship if she had re mained another winter?—Out of the two ships' companies of the PiOneer and Assistance not more than 45 or 50. If there was a sufficient crew to remain, was there a suf ficient number of officers to command them, or winter with them ?---I think neither Sir E. Belcher nor Commander Richards could have remained with safety another winter. Was your own health or that of the master sufficient to warrant Sir E. Belcher in leaving you behind with a total want of comforts ?—I consider our health would have suf fered, but I should have had no fear for our lives. Mr. John Rickards, acting surgeon of the North Star, Sworn. The Deputy Judge-Advocate.—Are you acting surgeon of the North Star ?—I am. Were you lent to do duty on board the Assistance, in the spring of this year ?—Yes. When did you join ? — l n May, and I continued till she was abandoned. During that time did you make any survey of the men on board?—Tea; an inspection and survey took place every fortnight, and a report of it was given to Sir E. Belcher. What was the general state of the health of the ship's company ?—lt was such that 20 or 30 of them were sent to Beechey Island, to insure thee, passage to England this au tumn, should any vessel arrive. Can you state how many officers were fit to remain another winter under the circumstances in which the As sistance and Pioneer were placed ? All except Sir Edward Belcher, Commander Richards, Mr. Lewis, clerk in charge, and Mr. Harwood, officer of the Pioneer. How many of the crew were fit to remain another win tershould say, win the Assistance, not than ten or twelve. There ere other men who were more obtained from the North Star. Who was left to navigate the North Star ?—The ships' companies of the Investigator, Intrepid, and Resolute. We sent the men to Beechey Island. The President—How many men did you get from the North Star ?—I cannot recollect exactly, but I think 14 or 15. Those you considered fit to remain another winter? — Yes. Have you had any previous experience of the Arctic Seas ?—None. Sir E. Belcher—Of the increased crew sent from the North Star, are you aware that the total number assem bled to extricate her Majesty's ship Assistance ware lent, and only amounted to 106 men, and of this number that not more than three were of the new men exchanged from her Majesty's ship Phoenix in 1853?—There was such a succession of arrivals and departures during the spring and summer that I cannot positively recollect the exact number. Were not the North Star men exchanged down to three? —I cannot say. Were not their names Warne, Glass, and Hall ?—They were of the North Star. I was under the impression there were more men from time to time. Mr. James Lewis, clerk in charge of the Assistance, was sworn. The Deputy Judg e- Ad voca t e —Were you clerk in charge of the Assistance in August last ?—Witness, I was. Were you with her when she was abandoned ?—Yes. What was the state of the provisions ?—They were in a good state of preservation generally. How many months' provisions ? There was a survey in July, when the remains were found to be equal on the scale of victualling then in force to about one year of the full complement. What was the scale of victualling then in force?—lt was a special scale, established by Sir E. Belcher on the Bth December, 1853. What do you mean by a special scale—was it a reduced scale?—lt was established upon the recommendation of the surgeon and the assistant-surgeon. Was it a scale in reference to the health of the men or the reduced state of the provisions ?—lt was in respect to the health of the men and also the state of the provi sion% Had you a year's provisions ?—Yes ; but no preserved meat. We had sufficient salt meat to serve fur one year. The President —Was the established scale for provision generally more or less than the ordinary allowance — I think it was less. How much less?—About ilb. of moat per day loss, and qlb. of flour less on the days for the issue of flour, suet, currants, and salt beef. How long had that been established ?—For the whole commission after December, 1853. Before that wore they on full allow ance ?—No, on the reduced allowance from May, 1852. On that (lay they commenced a special scale of victualling e stablished by Sir Edward Belcher that had reference to sq uadron was provided. That continued to the final departure from the ship. On the 15th of December the quantity of meat was reduced, but it was afterwards increased. on the recommendation of the medical officers. • Was any flour served on salt-meat days ?—None. Two days a week llb of biscuit was substitutedior llb of flour. The biscuit was issued on salt-beef days. There are two sorts of flour in the Arctic service—one for biscuit, and one for puddings, and the proportions supplied of biscuit and flour admitted of flour being issued on five days. and biscuit two days a week, at tho rate of llb per man per day, Captain Tucker—Can you give the total victualled in August, 1851.—Generally about 100. It varied with the arrival and departure of sledges. It was continually varied. Sir E. Belcher—ls the scale adopted by Capt. Auf,tin as nearly as possible that adopted by myself throughout the Arctic squadron, and recommended by Mr. Broornan to the Arctic committee, not sufficient ? And are the extra comforts not enumerated in the list at the discretion of the captain to vary the samo ?—The quantity of preserved meats was less than in the expedition of ISSI and 1552, but soups and vegetables were issued in addition. Do you consider that I consulted the comforts of my crew, and did I frequently consult you how I could do so without detriment to the public service? What clathiug remained for another winter, or to clothe any new men sent ?—There was no clothing, with. the ex ception of one suit that remained, that was intended for a ma - 1 who died. Was there any Arctic clothing similar to that gratui tously supplied by Government —skin-dresses, fishing boots, and other articles of clothing?—There were four or five pair of boots, and a - very small quantity of other articles- The • The President — What q uantit y of fuel remained in the ship ?—As near as I can judge, and it could be ascertained for the time, there were coals ia the Assistance for two or three months of the winter consumption. Were there any means of getting an additional supply ? —There were some in the tender, and I had heard that there were some at Cape Riley, near Beechey lirland, de posited there by the Phoenix, in 1853. Is not Cape Riley beyond Beechey Island ?—About three miles to the eastward. Did youiever meet with any driftwood in that part ? During the present expedition I have not seen driftwood enough, with the exception of a small stump of -a tree about three feet long, to light a large fire. The cqurt was cleared for a short time. On our re-ad mission, Commander Sherrard Osborne; commander of the As sistance tender, sworn. The Deputy Judge-Advocate.—Were you borne on the at t books of the Assistanc e, and for whime?—l was f com- rom ! February - , 1852, to the date of my commission as wander on the 13 th of October, 1852, and subsequently to that period as commander up to the 30th of May, 1854. State the position of the ship when you left her on the 30th of May.—She was about five miles NNW from the pitch of Cape Osborne, to the best of my belief. What was the state of the ice?—l can only answer for the Pisani . . She was pressed on shore in the autumn of 1853, but received no damage, and was in as safe a condi tion as the ordinary casualties of Arctic seas will allow. What was the state of the ice ?—I left on the 20th June, and the ships were then frozen in. Have you been before in the Arctic service?—Yes, twice. How long had the vessels been in the ice ?—They had been in that position from the 15th October, 1853. Was there an unusual quantity of ice in Wellington Channel in 1854 ?—No ; it was merely frozen over. Could yon form an opinion of the probability of the ships getting through the ice that summer?—l was led to believe they would escape early, from the numerous cracks in the ice I crossed on my way to Beechey Island. Did anything occur to induce you to alter your opinion? —Yes, in consequence of the southern gales in Barrow's Straits preventing the escape of the ice, as I believed it would have done. Could you form an opinion from Beechey Island whe ther the ships could get away that summer ?—No • I think the o ffi cers who last visited the ships on foot in Welling ton Channel can convey to the court the best idea of it. Do you know the exact position of the ships when they were abandoned 9—Only from hearsay. Are you aware what quantity of provisions there was at Beechey Island and in the North Star ?—I know, unoffi cially, that 12 months' additional provisions were for warded to Beechey Island in 1853. What quantity of fuel ?-800 tons of coal were for warded at the same time. Were the Assistance and her tender, in your opinion, fit to encounter another winter in the Arctic seas9—Per fectly so, as far as the ships were concerned. Are you aware of any other reasons why they should not have remained 9—The crews would have required fresh arrangements. Are you aware if any arrangements could have been made to allow the ships to remain in safety ?—Hitving no knowledge of Sir Edward Belcher's orders from England in 1151, I did not know that the crews of the Talbot and Yhceuix would be available. If they were I should have employed them to remain by the ships. How far were the ships from Beechey Island when they were abandoned ?—About 40 miles. Were you discharged from the becks of the Assistance .n June 9—l was. Into what ship 9—The North Star. Upon whose orders?—Sir E. Belcher's. Was it possible to transport provisions from the North Star to the Assistance and Pioneer by sledges?—Yes. Who were the last officers who visited the vessels from Beechey Islantl?—Commander M'Clintock, of the Reso lute ; Mr. Codd, master of the Investigator, and Dr. Lyon, surgeon of the Assistance. Were the crews of the Assistance and Pioneer fit to re main another winter?—Only a small portion of them, but the ships might be. You speak of the Admiralty sending out one year's pro visions in 1853. Do you mean for the squadron, or for one ship?—Tor the squadron. They were furnished by the Phoenix. You say on or about the 2Gth of August, when leaving Beechey Island, the Talbot and Phceuix came in ; do you know if they had any provisions ?—I understood the Tal bot came for the use of the Arctic squadron. Sir E. Belcher said he had no questions to put to the witness, who was ordered to withdraw. Commander Leopold M'Clintock was next called. The Deputy Judge-Advocate—You are additional com mander of the Resolute, performing service in the Intre pid 9—l am, Did you travel with Sir Edward Belcher from Beechey Island in 1854?—Yes. Was the state of the ice such as to render it doubtful if the Intrepid could get out of the ice that summer 7—Yes. The President—Have you had much experience in the Arctic seas 9—l served in both the preceding expeditions under Sir James Ross and Captain Austin. Did you find the state of the ice on the latter occasion nearly similar to the former, or was there more or loss ice ? —Within a few miles of the Assistance the ice was of the ordinary floe. More immediately about her it was heavy tee. Did you leave the Pioneer at Beechey Island when you went to the Assistance?—lt was with us. Had you any previous acquaintance with the Wellington Channel on former expeditions?—Merely in crossing its mouth. Do you know if it is very rarely free from ice ? —Wel lington Channel is as often as free from ice as Barrow's Straits. Wore you frozen in the pack with Sir James Boss ? Yes. Was the position of the Pioneer and Assistance less hazardous in that pack ?—I think less so. If the Pioneer and Assistance had not been abandoned at the time they were, would there not have been great risk of their getting to England this autumn?—The chances were certainly against their getting home. Was the state of the ice in Wellington Channel such as to render it probable that the ice would break up and let them through ?—lt was possible, but not probable. Sir E. Belcher—Are you aware of the object for which yon accompanied me to her Majesty's ship Assistance ?—I understood it was for the purpose of remaining out in com mand of her. Was it from my positive knowledge of the ice in Wel lington Channel for two years that if I deemed it possible to rescue the ship to leave you in command I—l was not aware that it was limited to one season. Did you understand that you were to be left if I consi dered that any chance of escape offered, or in the event of the vessel being beset by the ice you might remain, if my instructions of 1851 warranted such a measure ?—I was not aware of the circumstances at to the limitation stated. Captain M'Clure was then called and sworn. The Deputy Judge-Advocate —Did you leave England in 1850 in command of the Investigator ?—I did. For what purpose?—For the purpose of proceeding through Behring's Straits in search of the missing expedi tion of Sir John Franklin. Did Captain Collinson accompany you ?—He did. Was he your senior Officer?—He was. When did you part company with him ?—Two or three days after leaving Plymouth. I afterwards met him in the Straits of Magellan. We steamed out in tow of the Gorgon, and parted company the same day, and I have not seen him since. The only communication I have since hail from him was left at Oahu, in the Sandwich Islands. Where did you then go ?—To Behring's Straits, where I met the Plover, Captain Moore, and the Herald, Captain Kellett. That was in July, 1850. State the course you took up to the loss of the ship. — After parting company with the Herald we rounded Point Barrow on the Gth of August, and proceeded to the Prince of Wales' Straits, where we were frozen in till the 10th of September, where we wintered. We broke out on July 11 in the following year, and endeavoured to get n o d Barrow's Straits. On the 17th of August b ore up a rounded the western side of Baring Island, and finally, on the 24th of September, 1851, got frozen in the Bay of Mercy, where the vessel was left. State to the Court the circumstances of the aba rivneddonat meat of the ship.—ln April, 1853, Lieut. Penn t i h n e th ß e ar te o se f lu Mercy te siderecl it necessary to join him, for the pu s r i Pos n e2 ,the w n it a h t iDnteeilelaigyelnscleanfrrifreCniapwtahi a n oi I wa in h possibility of lug what should bra done in our presen t p s i ci tio at once to abandon the vessel, or ri sk to England, as it was getting her through Barrow's Straits to whether plishment of the my object to effect it, so that the north-west w e re to follow me on the sth of April to comma nd the returnpossi bility vessels, so that the l passage might be deci ded without any main. On those m auto Kellett ordered en s hould seem advisa ble for m rem ainder might recei ve the aleowance of rations if it a arriving at the R esolute, Cap ta in nr vey. From the report he found so many to be suffering from scor butic affection a nd general debi l i t y that Cap t. Kellett thought it a dvisable that a su rve y should be al so held on those remaining on board the Investigator. If they were not found in better condition, he considered it advisable the vessel should be quitted. That report has been already before the court, and on it we came to the determination that the ship should be abandoned. There were not e nough men who volunteered to remain to insure the pos sibility of tho ship being brought home this summer. How had you been off for provisions?—Since October, 183 , , we had been on two-thirds of the regular service allowance. Had that any visible effect on the m e first year, a r,on account of the quantityo gamecn Not i n ? killed ; but it was percapti')le in the last year on the health and spirits of the men, and they lost flesh considerably. Do you consider it was the only course open to abandon You the ship ?—I had no alternative. I saw Captain }Kellett on the m n ter O have at doubt of the propriety of the orders you received !—None whatever. D!d you'receive orders from Sir E. Belcher relative to • the abandonment of the ship ?—None. The President—Was the ship abandoned in consequence of 'the scurvy on board?—lt was. It was abandoned by order of Captain Kellett, but that had no reference to Sir E. Belcher. Had you a written order to that effect ?—I had; and gave it to the court yesterday. Sir E. Belcher—You stated that you wintered in the pack in 1850 and 1851, did you experience any extraor point anti Poillt Barrow, dinary danger between that, and would Captain Collinson, in returning by that route, we experienced nothing incur any extraordinary risk ?—Between the position where we wintered and Point Barrow, more than the ordinary difficulties of ice navigation, and with reference to Captain Collinson, should he pursue the course alongtheA.merica.n continent b her which came, there is little danger to be apprehended ofsafety. Whit provisions did you believe her to have remaining in August, 1853 ?—I cannot answer that question, but am..- 1 convinced C.tptain Collinson would . have In..d inprjk - than'' three years' provisions, as the Enterprise was considerably larger than the Invesigator, with the same complement of men, and I knew it was hi 4 determination to fill her with provisions, and he had 25,000 lb. of flour from the Investi gator on board, and he would have completed from the whalers, as he directed me to do. on entering the icellinson ose . Having seen the paper s de p osited by Captai there was n Co in Angu.st, 1852, have you a n y reason to supp any doubt of his safety, or cause him to dese artll his ship, when he stated he hal lost no men, and were well?—I cannot tell what difficulties would beset hint, but I ant sure Captain Collinsen would not desert his ship without being reduced to the utmost necessity, or wreck. In either o f w hi c h ea ses, I think we should have beard of him at Port Leopold this year. If Captain Colßoston falls back on the notices which have been deposited at Princess B,oyal Island and i s assured of your safety, he will return by 3ehring's Straits ?—lf he is still in his ship I think he certainly will • being convince d and apprised that I have not been able t o get the Inveeti• gator through. The President—But has he been apprised 7—The docu ments deposited will apprise him. Captain Kellet called in, and sworn. The Deputy Judge-Advocate—Did you order Captain M'Clure, under certain circumstances, to leave the ship? —I did. Did you do so without reference to any positive 'orders from Sir Edward Belcher ?—I did. I did it on my own responsibility. Was Sir E. Belcher beyond communication ?—He win He was at his winter quarters in Wellington Channel, and I was at Melville Island. How` far are they apart ?—By the ice, about 500 miles. Was the Bay of Mercy as far?—Yes ; about= miles . , further. Sir E. Belcher declined to put say q uestion s . se--s- - sae , s - Captain Kellett wished to put in a report from the sur geons of the Investigator on the state of the erase. It was' ' ';. dated from her Majesty's ship Investigator, Bay of lteroy, May 23,1853. It said—" In . obedience to your order con veyed to us through Commander M'Clure, directing a sur vey to be held on the officers and men remaining on b state oard this ship with a view of a scertaining their general of health and efficiency for further service in the Polar Seas, we have the honour to inform you that we have this day held a strict and careful survey accordingly, and beg to state as the result thereof that their present state of health is such as renders them entirely unfit to Undergo the rigours of another winter without entertaining the most serious apprehensions for the consequences." What was the object of your expedition?—There were two objects, one a search for Sir John Franklin, and the other to deposit a supply of provisions at Melville Island. Row far did you accompany Sir E. Belcher?—To Beechey Island. I arrived there about the 9th of August. I was ordered to pursue a course up Barrow Straits for Melville Island, where I wasto place a depot of provisions, clothing, and fuel for the shi p s under Captain Collinson. I reachd Winter Harbour on the 7th of September. Finding I could not winter there, I returned to the east ward to a harbour I examined, but fortunately did not get into. I returned- to the westward, where I cut into the floe, and completed the first portion of my order from Sir E. Belcher, whore I wintered. Commander M'Clin tock immediately started overland towards Melville Island, to see if the route was practicable for sledges. He found that it was practicable for sledges, and traced the coast along Bank's Land to Melville Island. All the officers and men left in September, 1852. We broke out, August 18, 1853, in a heavy gale, and endeavoured to get easterly, in the direction of Beechey Island with the whole of the Investigator's crew on board, with the exception of Lieutenant Cresawell and Mr. Wynyatt, being the only two persons who were considered capable of undertaking a journey to Beechey Island with the despatches for Captain M'Clure. In two days the ships arrived at Port Griffiths, on the south-east of Mel - • ville Island. From that time ill September 10 we were endeavouring to get to the eastward, but failed, and got beset, drifting about in the pack until we were finally beset on the 12th of November, 28 miles SW by S true of Cape Cockburn, where the ship was abandoned on the 15th of May, 185 t, by order of Sir Edward Belcher. What was the state of the ships when abandoned ?—ln a perfect condition, except the false keel was off the Reso lute, which was rather an improvement. She wasbattened dwoaesm in,, and a stpatreovflosriornes.ocaenudvasttoiornes, e wereleft cconii ng on to board. order . SThehe state of the health of the offi cers and crew was very good.] How much provisions had you o n board ?—With the e- , ception of preserved meat, I had a supply for 50 men for twelve mouths. I had also a large proportion of comforts provided by the Lords of the Admiralty. What induced you to abandon the ships ?—The order I received from Sir Edward Belcher. Did he confer or consult with you before giving the order ?—No. Do you think it would have been practicable to have got through the ice this summer ?—I think it was very pro bable. From your knowledge of Arctic navigation, if there was a more than ordinary quantity of ice, do you consider you could have got through the ice in the summer ?—Yes, in the autumn. Do you think, from the state of the ships and crew, if you had not got through this summer, that you could have remained another winter without incurring more than or dinary risk ?—I think we might. Do you think if you hail remained you could have as sisted Captain Collinson ?—I think Captain Collinson will never come up to the northward. A document was depo sited at Ramsey Island by me, in which I advised him not to return by that route ; that is, if he was obliged to desert his ship ; but I think that parties would have been use fully employed next spring in following his traces, which cannot now be done. The President—Did you advise Captain Collinson to re trace his steps to the westward?—Witness : Sir Edward Belcher had a copy of the record I left, and I advised him to re turn by Behring's Straits, as all had been done to the westward that could be done. In fact, no more land could be seen to the westward of my travelling parties. Had he found my record I could have been no assistance , to him by remaining if his ships were intact. Do you consider Captain Collinson would find your re cord ?—No ; Captain Collinson states it to be his intention to follow is supposed strait which one of his travelling par ties had already gone up more than 100 miles. That I think he will pursue as far as practicable. Failing there I con sider he would attempt to get easterly, as Capt. M'Clure had already coasted along the western shores of Baring Island, where Captain Collinson followed him, and found his record stating he had gone on. Were you aware of Capt. Collinson's intention when you abandoned the ship ?—Ne ; I obtained that information by the unparalleled journey made by Lieut. Meacham. Whore were you when you received that information ? —At Beechey Island, after I had abandoned the ship. That information was sent to Sir Edward Belcher by M. Dupre, the French mate, by dogs, in two hours after I re ceived it. The officer informed me that he reached Sir E. Belcher in a few hours. If it had been thought desirable that the ships should remain another season, with the view of affording assist ance to Captain Collinson, do you think there is ann ose reason why they should not have remained for l t to hat it. purp 1— No, the ships and crews were quite equa Sir Thomas Pasley—Was it too late to make other sr rotopeerntdoelsnagvere h d e e ; ar rangements after the receipt of this intelligence ?—My toapiinneidonthies that it would sra have a n v g e l e beeni e m n p t wintering another season with the Investigator's crew on board. If Captain CoMeson got the set in the channel near Victoria Land, would he have been within the reach of travelling parties ?—I am not aware of tie distaice, but if he had been within 600 miles they would' 'have . reached. him, for my officers travelled 1,200 miles-600 out and 600 back. Should you have cone home if it had been left to you? —Without orders from the Lords of the Admiralty I should have come home. Sir Edward Belcher—Were the orders to withdraw your crew, leaving the ship in a condition. for re-occupation, given under the impression that you or Captain 31‘Clure had taken the necessary steps in - Wig to ascertain if Cap t.
