Ity SAM IT EL LA 'MEET M.D. 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, I) , ctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University 01 Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, tee., The essential object o 1 this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery to Youth, degradation In Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who 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 manaiTement which cannot be violated without incurrinc grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may he 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 IN scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional ierangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. The A uthor has for a series of years been . engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which are unfortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant empirics, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in .heir pretensions.

The most active exertions are being made to get all the ships at the ports completed in their fitting and man ning, in order that they may be despatched to swell Sir C. Napier's formidable fleet. A rare and splendid treat was afforded the people at Dover, Deal, Ramsgate, and other coast ports. In broad daylight was seen the beautiful and powerful three decker Neptune, 120, Captain Hutton, with the flag of Rear-Admiral Corry, beating up the Channel against a strong north-easter to her anchorage in the Downs. The way in which the ship was worked up " the Narrows" was the admiration of every one, as tack after tack she neared her place of rest. It was evident to the most unprofessional observer that a master-hand was in command, and that a master crew was at the work, as the giant ship when put about flew instantaneously round, and ran dead into the wind's eye. We have heard and said a great deal about the ex-Prince Regent's, now the crew of the Neptune ; but from actual experience we can now repeat that a more efficient body of men never handled a man-of-war, and we doubt not that, if all our fleet are as well manned, each ship would be a good match for any two Russian line-of-battle ships. The Neptune yesterday seemed like a toy in their hands ; and whilst British seamen can acquire such skill and effi ciency in making these three-deckers their mere play things, we have no fear for our naval supremacy. PORTSMOUTH, MARCU 17. Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, K.C.8., Com mander-in-Chief, re-hoisted his flag on board the Vic tory, on Thursday evening, and Rear-Admiral Bruce struck his flag on board the Penelope this morning. The Desperate, 8, screw-sloop, Captain Chambers, arrived at Spithead this morning from Plymouth, en route to the Baltic. _ _ The Frolic, 16, Commander Nolloth, sailed from Spit head this evening for the Mediterranean. The Penelope, 18, paddle steam-frigate, steamed into harbour this afternoon from Spithead, and went direct into the factory basin to have her defects made good with all despatch for further service. The Sprightly, steam-tender, Master-Commander Allen, sailed this evening with supernumeraries for Ply mouth. The Cuckoo, paddle steam-vessel, arrived in harbour this morning from the eastward with supernumeraries, and left again in the evening, on her return. The Sealark, naval apprentices brig, Lieutenant- Commander Fenwick, arrived last evening from the westward, and came into harbour to-day. The Gorgon, 6, paddle-sloop, Commander Cumming, undocked this afternoon, a nd hauled off in the stream, to swing compasses. The Odin, 16, paddle frigate, hauled out of the factory basin this afternoon, to complete. coals from the Dock yard. I hear she is to sail to-morrow, but do not think it true. The llccla has been commissioned to-day by Captain Hall. PLYMOUTH, MARCH 17. The Desperate, 8, Captain W. W. Chambers, got up steam last evening, and sailed at 811. 30min. Men were employed all the previous night coaling her. The Belleisle, Commander Hosken, was taken out of dock this morning, and hauled alongside the sheer hulk to be masted. . The Swift, 8, was taken into dock this morning. The riggers of the dockyard are now actively employed rigging the Algiers, 90. She will be ready in about a month fora trial trip. Captain Sheringham arrived at this port on Wednes day, and is now busily engaged enrolling men for coast volunteers. He addresses the seafaring men in this district this evening at the Exchange. WOOLWICH, Magog 17. The Melampus steam-frigate was towed from Wool wich to Dept'ord to-day, to deliver over a large portion of the stores she brought round from the westward, and she will return to Woolwich to take on board a quantity of machinery and several boilers, for conveyance to the westward. The Hannibal, 91, screw steam-ship, is progressing fast in the fitting of her machinery, and the workmen of the factory are working over hours daily, always to 9 o'clock p.m., and often until 11 o'clock p.m., and she will be out of the hands of the engineer department by the 20th of May. The Hope, hired transport steam-vessel, had men em ployed in coaling her during the whole of last night, as well as during the day, in order to get her ready for sea with the least possible delay, as she'is intended to take out the commissariat officers and stores ; the former being under orders to hold themselves in readiness to em bark for Malta on Monday next. Eleven privates of the Chatham division of Royal Marines, and .13 privates of the Woolwich division, in charge of a non-commissioned officer, left the dockyard station of the North Kent Railway to-day, en route to Portsmouth, having volunteered for service in the Ar tillery companies.

From Constantinople we learn that the Vauban and Fury have been sent with despatches from the Admirals to the Russian authorities at Sebastopol and Odessa. The Fury delivered hers at Odessa, but the Vauban did not succeed at Sebastopol, chains being thrown across the mouth of the harbour, which was protected by ships and batteries.

Yesterday, at the Westminster police-court, Adolphus Feistel, alias 'Harrison, and Alexander Desaux, Lame Leboucher's (alias Madame Denies) father, were'phteed at the bar for final examination, charged,with the abduction and detention of Alice Leroy, a Belgian girl, - 1,6 years of 'age, for infamous purposes. - As on the previous occasions the court Was densely crowded. ' Upon the prisoners being•brought in by the gaoler, Mr. Arnold inquired • Whether there was any fresh charge, and what:Course •t he counsel for (the presecution intended to purslte respecting Alice Leroy's Case-? Mr. Smythies, who ,appeared in lieu of 'Mr. Parry, said: that he was not in a condition to proceed with any new case, but proposed to strengthen the present chavm against the prisoners by putting tho witness Elvire Cerekell into the box and asking her two or three more questions. H e would then ask for the committal of the accused, first, under the Bishop of Oxford's Act, 12th and 13th Victoria, c. 17, to prevent the defilement of women ; for an attempt to commit the offence under that statute, every attempt to commit a misdemeanour„ being in itself a inisdemea- nour ; secondly, with a conspiracy to attempt that offence ; and, thirdly, for assaulting Alice Leroy and Elvire Corckell by the false imprisonment of both, which'had been proved. For any offence under the Bishop of Oxford's Act the court had power to refuse Mr. Arnold having expressed an opinion that there might be some doubts whether the law would reach Ma dame Denis under the Bishop of Oxford's Act, for pro curing by false pretences, although a false pretence was used by Harrison, although no di ffi culty arose under the common law. With respect to the question of receiving bail, which he presumed would be pressed by Mr. Morgan for the defendants 2 he would hear any argument upon that subject, and dispose of it after the case was com pleted. Elvire Cerckell was then re-sworn, and examined by Mr. Smythies respecting what had occurred after the escape of Alice Leroy from Madame Denis's house, in Denbigh-ter race, where it will be remembered that- he girl Elvire and her mother were locked up for some hours in the kitchen, until they broke a window and called out to some persons passing, which induced madame, for fear of exposure, to release them. Witness said she wanted to go to the post with a letter to her sister, but was prevented by Madame Denis, M. Denis, Desaux, and Harriso n , w h o were present, and ho said that Alice had taken away some pieces of gold with her, and that they (witness and her mother) should not go till they were found. Harrison said it as well as the others, and detained them. In cross-examination by Mr. Morgan, witness said she was then in the passage, but the street door was locked. They were afterwards locked up down stairs, during which the parties she had named came up and down calling them bad names. Witness's mother said she would not stop. Witness and her mother had some time previously been left in charge of Madame Denis's house, during her absence. Mr. Morgan—Was not your father in the habit of com ing there, and did not madame give him money? Witness—Dat is no business with dis. (Much laughter.) The voluminous depositions of Alice Leroy (translated by M. Albert), and the other witnesses, the whole of which have been before published, having been read over. Mr. Arnold inquired of Harrison whether he wished to say anything ? Harrison replied—" I shall reserve my defence." Mr. Morgan addressed the court at great length on be half of Desaux, and contended that there was nothing, whatever in the evidence to support the charges men tioned by Mr Smythies against him. Tb ere was nothing to lead the mind to the construction that le was concerned in attempting to commit an offence under the Bishop of Oxford's Act, that he had conspired to commit, or that he Iliad been guilty of any assault or false imprisonment. There was no evidence more than that he was living upon the lweinty of his daughter in her house, doing what she re cruested. At most, it merely went to his saying that his daughter did not wish the girl to go to the window, or that she would be displeased at acts contrary to her request. There was no indication of his participating in any of the aU eged guilty practices going on in the house. Upon the charge of attempting to defile, the greater part of what now appeared upon the depositions would really not be evi dence at all, and it was only shaping the charge as conspi rac. that rendered it admissable. There was an assumption of guilt endeavoured to be put upon Desaux on general evid enco, and he solicited his release now,, and considered that he had no right to have been apprehemded. Mr.. Arnold—There is no evidence, Mr. Morgan, that he lived upon the bounty of his daughter. Mr. Morgan—He did nothing in the hoc se but drink and walk about. Mr. Arnold—And look after the girls, Dr.r. Morgan, (A laugh.) The evidence goes to show that ithey were eight Alice taking eLero n activey'asesca pe, part in because !!t ch. rse wa proved before T. issued a war rant Mr. Morgan having repeated that his client Desaux was hedays detaining was f borenfir upon ehnae theypt ghpireerlhs cou ld we t a iti e merely paying blind obedience to the orders of' his daughter, Mr. Arnold expressed his conviction that the evidence went to prove an actual assault upon the part. of Desaux. The acts specifically imputed to him were prErventing her going to the windows and out of the house, and it would be for a jury to say whether these acts were done innocently and whether he did not know full well what was goi ng on in the house- If the evidence was correct, lie was taking a part in the common purpose of keeping Alice Leroy in the house. Mr. Morgan then addressed himself on the subject of bail, and contended that his client had a right in law to it. It was only left to a magistrates discretion to refuse bail in cases where the expenses of the prosecution might be paid out of the county rate, and this was clearly not a case of that description. Mr. Smythies contended that, as an offence under the Bishop of Oxford's act, and as an assault, the expenses might be so paid, and that would give the magistrate a power to refuse. He pressed the matter iarmly, because a Greek prince, and a marquis, and persons of condition were frequenters of the establishment. Mr. Arnold begged to remark that there was nothing to show that they really had a right to such, titles. They were merely called so at the house. Mr. Smithies observed that it was at any rate quite evident the frequenters were wealthy persons, who would forfeit any amount of cash to stifle this inquiry, and he, therefore, strongly urged the magistrate t., refuse to ac cept bail, as he felt that defendants would not be forth coming. _ _ Mr. Arnold said that the only question was whether the law justified him in such a refusal, if it did so he did not hesitate to say that he would refuse. With respect to the argument used by Mr. Smythies, respecting the " at tempt," giving him a power to refuse bail, he found a great difficulty, and considered the argument a fine and subtle one, although he did not mean to apply that term offensively. On the other ground upon which it had been argued, he had a discretion to refuse bail, the assault and false imprisonment, he thought there were distinct acts, clearly amounting to false imprisonment, shown, and con sequently amounting to assaults. This w..as not only actual restraint, but the restraint of intimidation, and looking at the peculiar nature of the assaults, and of the discretion given to him by law to refuse bail upon a committal for assaults, he should refuse hail for the accused. A burst. of applause from the auditory, which was promptly checked by the officers of the court, followed this announcement. The prisoners were then committed to Newgate, to take their trial, and the witnesses bound over to prosecute. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT MANCHESTER.—FRIDAY.

Cowbridge Hunt 8 The suspense of the Universities is at • • night Lord John Russell, in a speedi of grelakral , introduced to the house the Ministerialoneasure for .425 good government of Oxford and the colleges therein. That we may at once ,relieve all anxiety on the main subject, and convey in the fewest possible words the most satisfactory of all assurances' to our academical readers, we may - simply state that, oil the first day of October term next, heads of houses, as University go vernors, will cease to exist, and that Oxford" will once again be a great and free 'seminary of learning: The scope of the bill is so wide, its peovisions so, searching, and all its details so full of interest,, that we proceed without further preamble to place 'its substance before the public. First, as to the constitution of the University, -so long corrupted and degraded. It is proposed 'to establish or revive a certain assembly„ to be termed Congregation-- this Congregation is to elect a Council, and to this Coun cil are to be trairsfeired; on the first ;lay of next Michael mas term, "all the potversrprivileges, and functions now possessed or exercised V, the. Ilettdornsdal. Board." The general reader will remember that this Board, heretofore the governing body of the University, wAs • composed exclusively, or, at least, with the exception (if two seats assigned to the Proctors of the Heads of Colleges or Halls. For this body is now to be substituted the Coun 'eil, which Council, instead of originating in the accidents of college office, is to be periodically elected by the mem. hers of Congregation Congregation' being an as seinbly of notables taken from Convocation, or, in richer words, front the academical community at large, If Convocation elected the Congregation, then the con stitution would simply depend upon election in a double degree ; but this is not the ease. The members of Con. gregation are created by certain prescribed qualifications, which will be found to include the following persons :- 1. The High Steward. 2. Heads of Colleges and Halls. 3. Canons of Christ Church. 4. The Proctors. 5. The Depnty-Steward, the Public Orator, the Keeper of the Archives, the Assessor, the Registrar, the:University Counsel, the Librarians and Sub-Libra rians of the University Library, and the Keepers of the University Museums (the two latter classes condition ally.) 5. The Professors, Public Readers, Prielectore, and Assistant or Deputy-Professors. 7. The Public Examiners. 8. All members of the Council. 9. Tutors of Colleges and Halls, and other officers (or one of such) engaged in the discipline of these societies. 10. All Masters of private Halls. 11. All residents who may have at any time been qualified by the possession for three years or upwards of any of the foregoing qualifications. 12. All non-residents who may have been so qualifi e d for 12 years. 13. All residents habitually engaged in the study of some branch of learning or science. 14. All such persons as may, under conditions sped. fled, be added to the abovementioned classes. ----- Such is to be the constituency of Congregation, and Congregation is to elect, as members of the iniversity Council six Heads of Colleges or Halls, six Professors, and six members of Convocation, being of not less than five years' standing. To these are to be added, as official members, the Vice-Chancellor and Proctors, to gether with one Head of a College, and one Pro fessor appointed by the Chancellor, and one other Pro fessor always of the Theological Faculty, to be elected separately as aforesaid. The Council, thus con sisting of 24 members, is to have the privilege of framing statutes, to be promulgated in Congrega tion—Congregation having the power of discussion in English, but not of moving amendments, except previously, and by writing, on the first notification of the measure. When this legislative machinery has been established, the existing statutes of the University will disappear, we presume, altogether, and the government of Oxford will be administered in virtue of these newly created powers, and according to the ne cessities developed by a fresh order of things. Such is an outline of the University constitution. For the reform of the collegiate foundations, the better application of their revenues, the improvement of the Fellowship system, and the extension of the University, certain general regulations are to be enacted of the cha racter following :—All oaths directed against the dis closure of college matters, or the acceptance of college changes, are to be abolished. All preferential claims to college preferment arising from other circumstances than those of personal qualifications are, with certain exceptions, to be extinguished. Subject to these ex ceptions, all Fellowships and Scholarships are to be open to the whole university, and filled up by public examination. Fellowships are not to be made neces sarily terminable, but they are to be held as vacated within one year from the time of election unless the holder shall be resident for not less than 24 weeks in each year, and shall be occupied during such period either in tuition, or in the discharge of university or parochial duties, or iu private study. Certain condi tions, however, are contemplated admitting of non-resi dence, and leave of absence may be given by the colleges fur fixed purposes, and for periods not exceeding five years in the whole. It appears, too, that after 21 years' tenure of a fellowship on these terms the holder may retire, as it were, upon two-thirds of his emolu ments, without being any longer bound by the fore going obligations. Of course, these arranrilithls afe prospective, and do not affect existing interests. A re tention of preferential claims to Fellowships seems to be still designed in favour of the lineal descendants of a founder, and of the fielders of close Scholarships in Col leges where two or more close scholars can compete for the appointment, and where one-half of the whole num ber of Fellowships shall be open. Scholarships, too, may still, under certain conditions, be adjudged with re ference to birthplace, education at any school, indigence, or membership of any College. All these exceptional cases, however, are to be rigorously scrutinized. In extension of the University system, it is to be made allowable that any member of Convocation, being of a certain standing to he hereafter determined, may be licensed to open his own house, if within a mile and a-half of the University, as a private Hall for the reception of students, who are to be matriculated like other students, without the necessity of being entered at any existing Hall or College. As the Masters of these ,private Halls are to be members of Congregation, and as their students are to be admitted to all the privileges of the University, there is evidently room provided for an unlimited extension of a academical, education. Finally, and by way of bringing all these provisions into practical and early operation, we learn that certain Com missioners are to be appointed for the purposes of the act. The Colleges are then to be empowered to make ordinances of their own, subject to the Commissioners' approval, for the foundation of Professorships, the opening of Fellowships, and other desirable ob jects, and the University is to enjoy the same discre tion with reference to the establishment of private Halls and other arrangements ; but if such ordinances shall not have been framed to the satisfaction of the Commis sioners by the first day of Michaelmas Term, 1855, the Commissioners are to proceed to such work themselves. The statutes thus made by the Commissioners, if ap ' proved by her Majesty in Council, are to be laid be fore both Houses Of Parliament, and, unless an address be presented against them from one house or other within 40 days,lare to become statutes of the University forthwith. Our delineation of this important measure, though necessarily imperfect, has extended to such a length as to leave us little room for comment. That the bill has been designed in a liberal spirit cannot be denied, and the reader will at once discern that Oxford, thus reformed, will offer much greater encouragement than before to learning in general, will be accessible to a larger body of students, and will be relieved in its internal govern ment from the preposterous domination of a class. Some dissatisfaction will be created by the fact that six places are still retained for this class in the University. Council ; and some, misgivings, perhaps, may be el; Bested by the triple machinery of the constitution. (-) jections, too, will assuredly be entertained to the reten tion of preferential claims to appointments in a scheme professedly founded on principles of freedom and compe tition ; but, as all these claims are to be submitted to the inquiry and the ratification of the commissioners, and are to be allowed only on special approval and under conditions set forth, the effects of the anomaly may, per haps, be modified. —Times. kci!

AND MINERS The Peninsular and Oriental Company's screw steam ship Hinialaya, 3,550 tons and 700-horse power, A.. Kel lock, commander, arrived here on the evening of the 7th, having taken her departure from Plymouth after the em barkation of the gallant 93d Highlanders, under command of Lieut.-Colonel Ainslie, on Tuesday the 28th ult., at 11 a.m., and has accomplished the run from Plymouth to this port, 2,100 miles, in seven days three hours under steam, ,giving an average speed of 121 knots. She has ex perienced fine weather during the passage, but met with fresh easterly winds from Cape St. Vincent to Galita, 900 miles. Soon after passing Gibraltar, at 350 a.m., on the 4th instant, she was run into on the port bow by the bug Spring, of Sunderland, wheat-laden, from Odessa ; receiving injury to two of her boats. On sending on board the brig she was found to be making water so fast, that Captain Kellock considered it right to take her in tow, which was with some difficulty, owing to a fresh easterly breeze blowing, and a considerable swell on, accomplished. She was got into Gibraltar Bay, evidently fist settling. She was taken as near the shore as possible, and two boats sent to her assistance to take the crew off and save their effects, which was done, when she went down close to Rozier Bay. This circumstance detained the Himalaya nearly nine hours, or she would have been in at one p.m. She had, previously to calling at Plymouth, embarked at Southampton a detachment of the Rifle Brigade, under Major Norcott, and Sappers and Miners under Captain Hassard, R.E., the whole being under the command of Colonel Victor, who will command the Engineers in the expeditionary force. The total number of troops brought by this monstrous ship is 1,300, which, with her crew, amounts to 1,400 souls, all transported in comparative comfort from England to Malta in, say a week ! The following was the force on board :- 93d REGIMENT (SUTHERLAND HIGHLANDERS).—Lieut. Colonel Ainslie ; Majors Banner and Hay ; Captains Gor don, Ewart, Macgowan, Shelton, Maxwell, Ross, Cornwall, and the Hon. A. M. Cathcart ; Lieutenants Middleton, Macdonald, Dalzell, Burroughs, Stewart, Clarke, Dawson, Macnish, Turner, and Sprot ; Ensigns Stotherd, Crowe, Wemyss, Abercromby, M`Donald (adjutant), Ewart, and Clayhills. RIFLE BRIGADE.—Major Norcott; Captains Newdigate and Forman ; Lieutenants Warren, Alexander, and Mal colm ; Assistant Surgeon Reynolds ; 210 non-commissioned officers and men, one woman, and one horse. Also Quar termaster Blake, Paymaster S. D. Sinclair, Surgeon J. R. Brush, M.D., Assistant Surgeons Sinclair and Menzies, 911 non-commissioned officers and men, 24 women, and five horses. ROYAL SAPPERS AND MINERS.—Lieut. - Colonel Victor, Captain Hassard, Lieutenants Lempriere, Graham, and Martin ; Assistant Surgeon Fogo , 100 non-commissioned officers and men, 6 women, and. child. DEATH OF A GUARDSMAN. — Scarcely had the Coldstream Guards been landed when a young man, Charles Clark, expired under an attack of aneurism. The young man was borne, on Tuesday, to xis grave, preceded by the beautiful band of her Majesty's 68th Light Infantry and the files of his regiment, and followed by the usual military accom paniment and a great many of the populace, attracted by the melancholy procession. General Viscount Hardinge arrived in Great Stan hope-street yesterday, from attending the funeral of the late Marquis of Londonderry, at Wynyard Park. THE RELIGIOUS LIBERTY MOVEMENT.—The Committee of the Society for the Liberation of Religion from State Patronage and Control invited a large number of their influential supporters to a soiree on Wednesday the Bth March, at the Whittington Club, London. A conside my., Mr. Crossley, M.P., M r. H eywort h , number of ladies were present, and among the company were Mr. Bell, M.P., Mr. Miall, M.P., Mr. Murrough, M.P., Samuel Morley, Esq., Charles Gilpin, Esq., and several minister. Letters explaining the cause ofitheir unavoidable absence were also stated to have been received from Mr. Barnes, M.P., Mr. Kershaw, M.P., Mr. Peto, M. P.,Mr. Milligan, M.P. ,Dr. Stowell, Dr. Wm. Smith, Rev. J. Sherman, Rev: Philip Smith, and other well-known gentlemen. Dr. Harris of New College, who was to have moved a resolu tion, was prevented attending at the last moment, but forwarded a subscription of 51. The intentions of the Committee in respect to parli imentary action, to prepa ration for the next general election, and to means for turning to account the gratifying revelation of the census were explained, and it was resolved that to carry on ope rations with vigour, an effort should at once be made to raise the Society's income to 5,0001. by subscriptions pledged for three years. Lists were accordingly put into circulation, and in a few minutes it was announced, amid reat cheering, that, including sums announced at a pre vious soiree, nearly 8001. had been subscribed. The Committee intend forthwith arranging for similar enter tainments in most of the large towns. RUFF'S GUIDE TO THE TURF.—The spring edition of this well.known manual has just made its appearance, and contains, as usual, a complete and well-digested budget of all the racing information for the current year. We observe that the editing of the volume has passed from the hands of Mr. Ruff into those of Mr. Langley. The best praise we can bestow upon the labours of the new editor, is to say that they appear to yield nothing either in copiousness or accuracy to those of his predecessor. INSPECTION OF THE 19TH FOOT. Yesterday this regiment, now in garrison at the Tower of London, was inspected by_Lieutenant-General Turner, previous to embarkation to join'th e ex pelitionary army to the East. At 11 o'clock the men formed on the Tower-parade, and shorq:afterwards General Turner, accompanied by Colonel lial t _Lieutenant-Colonel Unett, and other officers, went tictough the ranks minutely in specting each man. After the inspection the regiment was marched past by companies and sections, at slow and quick time, and put through such other evolutions as the limited space would . perent. At the close of the evolutions the men formid44gelumn, when, General Turner addressed some observations commending their discipline, and referring to the nature of the service on which they were about to proceed. The 19th when it marched into the Tower was only 600 strong, but by volunteers from other regiments and recruits it now musters 1,000 bayonets. According to present arrange ments, the regiment will receive its new colours on Mon day, move from the Tower to Winchester on Tuesday, and embark for the East about Saturday. TIIE BRITISH EXPEDITION TO THE EAST. It were well indeed, says a letter from Malta of the 12th inst., if things on shore were as well managed as they have been at sea, but, strange' as it may appear, some of the men left their floating prisons only to relin quish comforts to which they had a right, and have had to "rough it" on terra firma with greater patience and endurance than they were called upon to exercise while on board the steamers. To speak the truth, " some body" is to blame for placing asy of her Majesty's forces in such a position that they have had to endure some of the minor desagreinen,s of warfare before their time. Complaints are ina. , 3o that such a regiment was left without coals—that another had no lights nor candles— that another has suffered from exposure to cold at night under canvass, when they ought to have been under cover of a more substantial nature—that in some cases that terrible calamity, short commons, actually fell upon a portion of the men, and that forage was not to be had for the officers' horses. The Commissariat are blamed for these deficiencies, but they are said to declare that they received no proper instructions to prepare for th e force. It would have been a very good plan to send out a commissariat officer with etch vessel, instead of keeping a number of these useful officers boxed up in a room at Whitehall. As each vessel arrived, the com missary could have acquainted the head of the depart ment on shore with the amount and nature of the arti cles required for the use of the troops when they landed, and it would not have been possible for any excuse to be made for neglecting such a requisition. There is a re port current to the effect that the next division from England will riot disembark at Malta, but will proceed to the East direct. It is to be hoped the rumour is cor rect, or that the first division will leave the island before the second arrives. As it is, every regiment that comes in must encamp, and, despite the heat of the midday sun, the month of March in Malta has its bitter cold nights and sharp winds to smite the host with catarrhs and rheumatics, and of all the ludicrous sights to gods or men a rheuinatical warrior is the most painfully con spicuous. By a rigid interpretation of orders, the officers of the 93d were debarred from bringing more than their 901 b. weight of baggage per man. Many of them omitted beds, canteen, and mess traps ; and so they must have been rather horror-struck when they were politely invited, kilts and all, to pitch their tents on the ravelin outside Valetta, and " make themselves com fortable." The arrival of the Himalaya before midnight on the 7th, after an extraordinary sun of 7 days and 3 hours from Plymouth, with upwards of 1,500 souls on board, is another striking proof of cur resources as a belligerent power. It would have takes at least 6 weeks for 3 or dinary troop-ships to carry that mass of men here against the winds which prevailed during the voyage of this steamer, and of course it would have cost the Govern ment a proportionate sum for their maintenance all the time they were idly knocking about on the ocean. The only inconvenience attendant on this great celerity is, that it throws so many human creatures, with the usual appetites of the species, on one spot, that the supplies can scarcely be procured in time to meet the demand. The vast and sudden inerease of meat-consuming animals at Malta, has nearly produced the effects of a famine ; at least, we had a prospect of being run to a disagree- able low ebb in the current of beef and mutton to the markets. On Monday last there were only 400 head of cattle left in Malta and itt dependencies, and, with a population of 120,000—with a brigade of Gbards and eleven regiments in garrison, and the crews of three frigates to feed, it n 11 57 easily be imagined that " the lovers of flesh" would have been in a bad way at the end of the week. On Tuesday morning, however, the Vectis, which had been sent over to Tunis, returned with the joyful news that there was a good stock of cattle about the country, and with the still more wel come reality of 188 Moorish oxen on board. Mr. Powell, captain of the Vectis, finding- that the means of transport were not abundant at Tunis, with commendable activity stored his decks with this live provision, and re. turned here, leaving the Research cutter and an officer of the Commissariat there to provide for the future sup plies. The Commissariat have been very active lately, out it may be imagined that their energies are hardly taxed to meet this influx of hungry men. However, the direction to which their efforts tend is not mistakeable. We are preparing our supplies for taking the field in Turkey. On Sunday, March 5, a Commissariat officer who had only arrived the previous night from England, Mr. Deputy Commissary-General Turner, was sent with all baste off to Constantinople, and Messrs. Brownrigg, Mitchell, D ar li n g, and othe rs of the same department, lately arrived from England and Gibraltar, are busily engaged in providing stores for the use of the troops. The biscuit mills are baking 30,0001 b. of biscuit per day. Bills in English and Italian are posted in every street of Valetta, informing "parties desirous Of joining the Commissariat Department, milder the orders of Commissary-General Filder, about to proceed with the force to the East, as temporary clerks, assistant store keepers, interpreters. &c. , that tth ey may " freely apply to Assistant Commissar qteral Strickland ;" and there is this very significant ae ition,—" those con-, versant with English, Italian, M ern Greek, and Tur kish languages, or the Lingua-Fr ca of the East will be preferred ;" and all sorts of rliko mechanics, ar mourers, farriers, wheelwrights, Issi. eaga ment and harness makers are in mach r e -waggon equip request. The force " supposed to be goil, to the East" is dis tributed as follows :—Guards, one attalion Grenadier, one battalion Coldstream, at the Lazaretto, Fort Mamie' (close to the former) atd Forte Ti nge ; 28th Foot, two companies and head-Ti nders, Verdala-bar racks ; one company, Zabbsr-gate ; two companies, Fort St. Salvador ; three comp an i es, Bighi-bay ; 9th Regiment, St. Elmo, and hors e s Strada. Mercanti ; 50th Regiment, in the Dockyard and Seamen's-barracks. The Rifles will encamp at St. Clement's _ ; the 93d High landers will encamp at Ravjn Stf Francis and Noti e Dame. Besides this force, ve have the 3d Buffs at St. Elmo, the 62d Regiment at St Elmo, 41st Regi ment at Floriana, 47th Regiment atVerdala, 49th Regi ment at Fort Ricasoli. The Sc4a Fusilier Guards, when they arrive, will be quartered at Fort Manoel, and the other regiments we expect lout here, the 4th will encamp at the hornwork ostsi Porta Bombe, the 23d will be stationed in the Dock ard, the 44th will encamp at Fort Manoel, the 33d mewhere near the same quarter. The Guards commenced the Mini 4. practice March 7, but, as the range was very short, here is no use in doing more than mentioning the f t. They are exer cised from 8 a.m. till 2 p.lll-, at to ets placed at 250 yards distance. Brigadier Bentinc, hopes to be able to get a more ample and less distur ed range, and the experiments will be continued till they are able to send a full report to Government. It is` most gratifying to state that the conduct of this large bey of men has been on the whole very good. Main allowance for the great temptations to which they were exposed on land ing, they resisted them like so many St. Anthonies, and, after the first night. have behaved in the most exemplary way, and the line regiments have also exhi bited the utmost good order and subordination. Th e captains and officers of the various ships which serve I as transports speak in the highest terms of the soldiers while on board, and the most perfect entente cordiale reigned, between them and their numerous guests. Captaini Kellock, of the Himalaya, received on his ar rival here a very gratifying address from the officers of the Rifles and 93d, to Which he replied in suitable terms. lam informed that Government is taking steps to strengthen the fortifications of Malta. Some years ago it was determined that Gibraltar and tills island should be placed in a condition to enable them to meet the increased weight of metal of men-of war. Gibraltar,- was, -in coAsecieenee, 'rendered all but impregnable. Malta was left untouched fur some years, but recently efforts have been made to - . . _ ~. ,-_- - - - . ... y , r ) 1 1 1 M---- 1,--• •,------------ • r-- • ..G ,, i..-‘rEE, , „-- •,. 1 - ? i t9 f 1) (I ,e l i‘% jf T r io CI 1-1 r i l / . mot E. - ' w — -------- -- - ----( --- - ',41.1.., 1• 1 A J., /I ( . ..L 1 i • '''', 4.
