By SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D. 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusa 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 absolut e l y principles of necessary that all men shou ld know, that there are personal ma nagement w hich cannot be violated with out incurring grievous pena l ties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its con.equenc e be avoided, and above al l, that there is scarcely any degr ee of m physical ay infirmity or functional derange ment to which the ti me l y aid of science cannot apply a cure. The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in +he treatment of these delicate complaints, which are unfortunately been too generally confided to the care ot ignorant empirics, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in .heir pretensions.

Greetharn, Deputy Judge'--Advocate of the Fleet, assembled yesterday morning on board the Victory, to try Lieutenant Crawley and the officers and crew of the steam gun-boat Jasper, which took fire and blew up on her passage from Plymouth to the Baltic, on the 15 t h inst., as detailed fully in The Sun of Wednesday last. Lieutenant Crawley and Mr. Dyer, the second master, were the first tried. The witnesses examined were Mr. Hall, the senior engineer ; William Cooper, carpenter's mate ; Mr. Biddle, third class assistant engineer; Mr. Blellock, the gunner; and Mr. Lewis, first class assistant engineer, but their testimony threw no light ou the causo of the fire, which was surmised to have ori ginated at a point in close proximity to the boilers with the deck beams, and with the woodwork of the bulkhead. Every officer and man exerted himself to the utmost to extin guish the flame when discovered, but the materials at hand to enable them to do so were none of the most efficacious. The following was consequently the finding :—" The Court, having heard the evidence in reference to the loss of her Majesty's steamer Jasper by fire, on the 15th of May, 1854, have not been enabled to discover the origin of the fire. The Court also consider that Lieutenant C. G. Crawley, and the second master, Mr. Richard Dyer, used their utmost endeavours to extinguish the fire, and did not leave the ship until they con sidered it dangerous to remain longer. They are, therefore, both honourably acquitted." The president of the Court, Sir Thomas Maitland, in returning Lieutenant Commander Craw h:y his sword, said, " I have been requested by the Court to state that you did your duty nobly, both as a commanding officer and a seaman." Advises were received yesterday at the Admiralty, under date Memel, May 18, that her Majesty's sloop Archer had ar rived off that port, escorting another of her Majesty's steamers, having four Russian prize ships in tow, captured in Libau har bour. Intelligence was also received yesterday, under date " Stockholm, May 15," that her Majesty's steamer Amphion had arrived in Faro Sound with three Russian prizes cap tured off Riga—namely, the Najasdisa, Caroline, and Gebru ders, all of which aro now on the way in charge of prize crews to Loudon. By order of the Lords of the Admiralty the Argo, Russian prize captured off the Cove of Cork, has been brought round to Liverpool in charge of a revenue cutter for condemnation. Yesterday the Eurydice, Captain Ommanney, sailed from the Downs in company with the Semillante, French ship of war, her Majesty's steamer Miranda, Captain Lyons, and the Brisk, to operate against the Russians in the White Sea. The Milen, French war steamer, and the Bellcisle, hospital ship, left tie Downs yesterday for the Baltic. The Powerful, 84, Captain Mansel, was docked yesterday afternoon to have her lower works examined and commence her equipment for sea. The Fox, 42, Captain Tarleton, C. 8., has been paid off. Mr. William Rumble, first class engineer (late serving in the Fury, six guns, paddlewheel steam-sloop in the Black Sea), has this day taken up his commission and joined the Royal Albert, 131, screw steam-ship. Mr. Rumble was pro moted on the 6th inst., and his appointment to this noble ship bears date from the 10th inst. A portion of the ma;:hi nery has already arrived at Sheerness, and Messrs. Penn and Sons are to be there on Wednesday next. Orders arrived at Sheerness on Sunday evening for the Tribune, 31, screw frigate, " to prepare for sea," and also changing her destination. She is not to proceed to the Bal tic. All letters and parcels on board of her for the Baltic fleet have been transferred to the Resistance troop-ship, Master-Commander M. Bradshaw. The Tribune left last night, at 7 p.m., for Spithead, there to receive her further orders. She took supernumeraries from Sheerness for Portsmouth and Devonport—the latter for the Royal William, 120, guard ship of ordinary there. The Monkey steam-vessel, Second-Master Mr. Sindecomb, arrived alongside the Resistance at 2 p.m. yesterday, with the spare screw propeller and gear for the St. Jean d'Acre, for conveyance to the Baltic; she will leave Sheerness to-day. The Cuckoo, 3 paddlewheel steamer, has been completed by the dockyard; she will be ready for sea on the 24th inst., and is under orders to leave Sheerness on the 26th inst. She takes 12 mouths' stores, &c. The African steam-vessel proceeded from Sheerness on Saturday last, at 8 p.m., with supernumeraries from the Waterloo for the Belleisle, and on her arrival in the Downs found the Belleisle had taken her departure at 3 a.m. on Sun day for the Baltic. The African returned at 8 p.m., and yes terday the supernumeraries were sent on board the Resistance for a passage to the Baltic. The revenue cutter Fairy, Thomas Lougmain, Commander, arrived at Sheerness yesterday from Aldborough, for an ex change of men, a portion of her crew having been draughted from her for active service in the Baltic. Preparations are making at Sheerness, for the electric telegraph being brought into the Admiral's offices, the Cap tain-Superintenent's offices, and the offices of the Colonel- Commandant of the Garrison. These offices will be in direct communication with the telegraphs at Whitehall, Somerset house, and the Horse Guards. Every despatch is ordered to be used in getting the communication alluded to completed. The following appointments have taken place : Rear-Admiral Edward Boxer, C. 8., to be Rear-Admiral Superintendent in the Bosphorus, and to have the entire charge of the transport service in the East. Captain Robert Smart, K.H., at present superintendent of the Naval Coast Volunteers, and borne on the books of the Fisgard flag-ship at Woolwich since December last, is ap pointed Captain-Superintendent at Pembroke dockyard, vice Captain-Superintendent Sir Thomas Pasley, Bart., whose period of service as superintendent of that dockyard has ex pired. Lieutenants William K. Bush (1850), from the St. George, 120, with the Baltic fleet, to the Hornet, 17, screw steam . sloop, at 'Woolwich ; William H. Truscott (1853), from the Centaur, paddle-wheel steam-frigate, recently returned from the south-east coast of America station, to the Powerful, 84, HOUSE OF COMMONS—MAT 22. WAYS AND MEANS. Motion made, and question proposed, " That the Commis sioners of her Majesty's Treasury be authorised to issue Exchequer Bonds bearing interest at the rate of N. 10s. per centum per annum_ for any sums not exceeding in the whole 4,000,0001., at any prices and on any terms determined upon by the said Commissioners, such bonds to be paid off at par at the expiration of any period or periods not exceeding six years from the date of such Bonds." Amet.dment proposed, to leave out from the word "That" to the end of the proposed resolution, in order to add the words "it is not at present expedient to authorise any further issue of Exchequer Bonds, with the engagement of repayment within the next six years," instead thereof. Question put, " That the words ' the Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury be authorised to issue Exchequer Bonds' stand part of the proposed resolution." The Committee divided—Ayes 290, Noes 186. The sixth class of these estimates, which was delivered yesterday, comprises "superannuation and retired allow ances, and gratuities for charitable and other purposes." The total amount for the current year is 213,0791., the i o n v e e r r e t a i s ie e o v v o e te r s th of e I v B o s te 2 s o o n f ly l s B 6 s l 3 . ben o i f g 3 the ,3 s s ix l/., and teeneharthagest included under this head the following are the most im portant : Yachts.

' Vesper Vampire The Prince of Wales, belonging to the General :team Navi gation Company, capitally provisioned by Mr. Crawford, had been chartered for the club, and considering the very un favourable and threatening aspect of the weather early it. the morning, was extremely well attended by visitors. The Mercy Andrew, Gemini, and Petrel, were well favoured in the same respect, and, with a vast number of gentlemen's yachts, ac companied the race throughout. There was a fine white sail breeze from the south-west, and the spectators looked with anxiety for the start. The beautiful Phantom had the favouritism amongst some of the old veterans aboard, but the closeness of her former contests with the Thought, coupled with the circumstance of the latter having been considerably altered and improved since last season, induced many to speculate heavily upon her success. In the other class, there was the same diversity of opinion between the Vampire and the Vesper, also of equal measure ment with each other. (1.) SUPERANNUATION AND RETIRED ALLOWANCES. — The aggregate of this vote is 135,7721., which is very nearly the same with the amount voted in 1853, but ex ceeds by 2,9391. the total of 1852. The superan nuation of 33 offices is to be provided for by this grant, the largest items of which are for Consuls abroad (18,7101.), for the 4 ) Ayinaster.General's office (17,9551.), for the Audit 'office (14,8371.), for the Trea sury (13,365/.), and fotvarious public offices in Ireland (12,1051). In the charges of the Foreign-office and the Slave Trade Commission there is a considerable decrease, in 14 of the others ari increase ; therest remaining sta tionary. The question of the Superannuation Fund having lately attracted attention, it should be observed that the deductions from salaries under the Act 4 and 5 Win. IV., c. 24, now amounting to 14,2461., are, under the present system, paid into the Consolidated Fund, instead of being brought in aid of this grant ; and the vote is therefore proposed for the whole amount of the charge. It is also to be added that si large pro portion of the vote—in the Paymaster-General's office nearly the whole—consists of compensation allowances g t i r e a n n s t e a d p p o e n a rabolittoionhe been f o e en ffi g c r e a s a n , te n d d w t t a h t t t h h e e s strictestu er an nu re- AYES-290.

(2 and 5.) The vote for "Toulouse and Corsican Emi grants, &c., and American Loyalists," and that for " Polish refugees and distressed Spaniards," are in gradual course of diminution. The former has fallen to 2,5611., which is less by 6581. than the amount voted in 1852, and the latter now 'stands %t 4,300/. —the Polish refugees taking 3,0001., and the Spaniards, all of whom are understood to have been employed with the British army or to have rendered assistance during the Penin sular war, only 1,2001. They all swung round in a second,, auct soon• their elegant spars were covered. with canvas. The Vespbr took the lead, followed by the Vampire, these two being positioned at their stations a trifle lower down than the larger craft. Then came the Thought, with her Head a trifle in front of the Phantom, and all stood close-hauled towards the Essex shore. They next, with flowing sheet, pursued their way at a clipping pace towards the goal, there being nothing to do but running and reaching. In the middle of Lung Reach the Thought wa..; a quarter of a mile a-head of the Phantom, but her lead throughout was ever and anon jeopardised by the Phantom, which was sometimes a less, sometimes a greater distance astern all the way down to the Nore. While this was going on with the larger craft, a most animated struggle was ensuing between the smaller, who never left each other, and made the closest race conceivable. The Vampire at length drew a few feet in advance of her rival, and it having been determined that they should round a boat below Southend they did so, the Vampire achieving it first at 1 hr. 47 mins., and the Vesper at 1 hr. 47 min. 30 sec. The Thought and Phantom, in the same positions as before, arrived at the Nore Light in the following time : Thought.. Phantom (6.) MISCELLANEOUS CHARGES FORMERLY DEFRAYED FROM THE CIVIL LIST, THE HEREDITARY REVENUES, &C., FOR WHICH NO PERMANENT PROVISION HAS BEEN MADE BY PARLIAMENT. —Full details as to the items of this grant will be found in the evidence laid before the committee who reported in 1849 on the Miscellaneous Estimates. The total is 4,4691., and there has been no variation in the amount for the last three years. A small provision is made under this vote for the college of St. David's, at Lampeter ; but as the income of the foundation in creases, the assistance given from the public funds will diminish. . The next eight votes included in this class are for the maintenance of public charitable institutions in Dublin. The amount has varied but little, the vote for 1852 hav ing been 18,2391., that for 1853 17,8251., and that for the current year being 18,3711. The increase is due to one vote only, there being a decrease on all the others ; and no explanation is given as to the single exception. ' (15.) NON-CONFORMING AND OTHER MINISTERS IN IRELAND.—The total amount is 38,745, of which 37,085/. is distributed among 520 ministers of congregations described as "already endowed," 47 receiving 921. 6s. 2d. each, and 473 only 691. 4s. Bd. To the ministers of five " new congregations " 3461. is assigned, and the successors of those who at present enjoy the larger salaries are to be placed on the reduced allowance. (16.) CONCORDATION FOND AND OTHER CHARITIES AND ALLOWANCES IN IRELAND.—The amount is 6,426/., and various charitable institutions participate in the benefits of the grant. The seventh class of the Miscellaneous Estimates comprises " Miscellaneous, Special, and Temporary Objects." Twenty-seven votes are 'in the present esti mates included under this head, and the aggregate is 536,098/. which exceeds by 229,2851. the amount granted in 1852, and by 215,6261. that granted in 1853. It is, however, apparent from the peculia r na t ure o f these 1 hr. 58 min. 2 hr. 0 miu. 30 sec. It wanted something like two hours to low water but the wind, with the exception of six or seven boards, was favour able all the way up, and taking the Kent side they reached the Lower Hope, where the little boating commenced. Here and afterwards the vicinage of the Phantom to the Thought became unpleasant. She waited upon her very closely, con tinued to gain as they neared Gravesend, and off Rosherville reached by her to windward. In the way up from there they were close by the side of each other, and the greatest excite ment continued throughout the remainder of the distance, as the slightest defect in nautical skill on the part of the one must have given the other victory. The Phantom just con trived to keep a length or so ahead, and the four boats ulti mately came in as follows : hrs. min. sec. Vampire (winner) Vesper 5 20 10 Phantom (winner) 5 37 0 Thought The winners were favoured with loud cheers, and Mr. Green, in very appropriate speeches, presented the prizes to the owners of the winning boats, who replied in becoming terms. The Prince of Wales, the finest and most fitting boat this club ever had for their matches, then returned to London. Many of the company present were most agreeably surprised at its being a very beautiful day, there not being a drop of rain un til the return of the steamer to Blackwall. Too much cannot be said for the attention of the officers of the club, and the steward of the steamer. votes that a, fair comparison can hardly be made, as many oaf them are non-recurrent in their nature, and their appearance in the estimates of one year or another is almost accidental. This will be apparent from a brief review of the principal charges. (3.) The Charity Commission enters this year for the first time, and the amount required is 15,0001. The heavy expenses incurred in preliminary investigations will not be forgotten, and the act of last session was ne cessary in order that satisfactory return might be ob tained for the large outlay of preceding years. (7 and 8.) MERCANTILE MARINE AND MERCITANT SEAMEN'S FUND.—The aggregate a little exceeds 100,0001., and the charge appeared last year for the first time. The salaries of fifteen examiners in navigation and shipping, and the expenses of local marine boards, with their establishments, are defrayed under the first of the two grants, and the second is rendered necessary by the act for winding up the Merchant Seamen's Fund, which has brought upon the revenue the charge of more than 26,000 pensioners, amounting to 64,0001. A fur ther sum of 10,0001. is required to pay commutation of pensions, and thus reduce the future charge. (15). For the Australian exploring expedition, under Mr. Ernest Haug, 5,0001. is asked ; and a correspon dence, printed with the estimate, shows the interest which the Government has taken in the projects of that enterprising volunteer. The sum applied for in the first instance was only 3,5001.; but on reconsideration, and at the request of the Colonial Secretary, the Treasury determined on conceding the additional amount. (17.) The defalcation of the late registrar of the Admi ralty unfortunately renders a vote for 25,000/. necessary to supply the amount for which the public has become responsible. (18.) For the Orange River Settlement at the Cape of Good Hope the sum of 45,0001. is proposed to be voted in the present year, it being at present uncertain what may be the total amount of claims arising out of the arrangements recently made. (24.) A report from Mr. G. G. Scott gives a detailed account of the present condition of the royal monuments in Westminster Abbey. The estimated cost of the ne cessary repairs is 4,7001., of which it is proposed to take 2,5001. for the current year. The statue of King Charles 1., at Charing-cross, is also to be restored and renovated, preparatory, it may be supposed, to being placed under the surveillance constituted by the new act. (26.) For Agricultural Statistics, to be collected in the three kingdoms, the sum of 13,0001. is required. There is to be a " complete system" in Scotland, carried out through the medium of the Highland Society, a " complete system" in Ireland under the management of the Board of Public Works, and in England there are to be " further experiments" under the superintend ence of the local officers of the Poor-law. It is only to be regretted that the time has not yet arrived for more systematic, and therefore more useful, inquiries on the southern side of the Tweed. The following votes for metropolitan improvements may with advantage be taken together (9.) Battersea-park, 25,5001. (10.) Chelsea Embankment, 35,0001. (14.) Land at Kensington-gore, 27,5001. (20.) Burlington-house, Piccadilly, 140,0001. Towards the first vote 32,6411. was taken last year; and towards the second, 35,0001. For the purchase of land at Kensington, 150,0001. was granted in 1852. The Duke of Wellington's funeral (80,0001.) and the census (40,0001.) constituted the principal extraordi naries of the year 1852.3 ; the commissions for investi gating corrupt practices at elections (30,0001.), and the continental electric telegraph (30,0001.) those of 1853-4 ; while the purchase of Burlington-house and the expendi ture to be provided for at the Orange River settlement are the principal items appearing for the first time in the estimates of 1854-5. The figures which follow show the aggregate amounts in each of the three years : 1852-3. 1 853-4 . 1854-5. Class VI. Class VII. 306,813 ...... 320,472 STRANGE RECEPTACLE FOR THE DEAD.- DEPUTATION TO VISCOUNT PALMERSTON. Yesterday afternoon a very numerous and influential depu. tation from the inhabitants of Lambeth waited upon Iris• - . count Palmerston, Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment, by appointment, at the Home-office, Whitehall, for the purpose of soliciting his lordship's interference with regard to the arrangements of the promoters of the London Necropolis and National Mausoleum Company, who had obtained pos session of nine of the arches of the Loudon and South-Wes- TELLERS. tern Railway, between the Waterloo and Westminster-roads, for the purpose of depositing the corpses prior to their re moral by the company by railway to their cemetery at Woking Common ; those arches being situated in the most thickly populated part of Lambeth, and consequently having a great tendency to endanger the public health. The deputation, which consisted of Mr. William Williams, M.P. for Lambeth, Mr. Churchwarden Stratton, Mr. Church wardou Plews, Mr. Churchwarden Gray, Mr. R. Taylor, Mr. Parssey, Mr Bryon, Mr. King, and about twenty other highly respectable inhabitants, having been introduced to his lord- Hayter, W. liolgrave, Earl of ship, Mr. WILLIAMS, M.P., said that the affair had created the greatest alarm in the minds of the inhabitants for the health of themselves and families. The Necropolis Company had en gaged several arches under the South-western Railway for the purpose of depositing the dead until they removed them to Woking Common. It so happened, very unfortunately, that those arches were situated in the most densely populated part of Lambeth. Now the annoyance to the inhabitants of the bodies vassing iu and out of the entrance to/the ground occupied by the Necropolis Company was certainly great enough, but there was another thing of far more vital importance that must be taken into consideration, and which had created the greatest amount of alarm in the neighbourhood, and that was, that in conse quence of the gaseous vapours arising from the receptacle of perhaps hundreds of human bodies, nothing could be more probable than to suppose that typhus, cholera, and all other pestilential disease would be the result, and nothing more or less would follow than a recurrence of the awful and devas tating havoc committed by the virulence of that disease in Lambeth a few years back. The hon. member added that he had no doubt that his lordship would find, on reference to the Act obtained by the Necropolis Company, and the Metropoli tan Burial Bill, that ho (Lord Palmerston) had power to inter fere in this matter, and, in conclusion, trusted that his lord ship would exercise that interference, as it was never more needed than on this occasion. Mr. ROBERT TAYLOR then presented a memorial to his lord ship, detailing the grievance, and praying for his lordship's interference. Viscount PALMERSTON referred to the act obtained by the Necropolis Company in 1852; and said that clause 24 of 15 and 16 Vie., cap. 149, gave the Secretary of State some power. It gave the company power to erect buildings and stations on the line, to be repaired by the engineer of t e railway com pany, but all expenses to be paid by the Necropolis Company; the contract of any such contract to be sent to the Secretary of State. His lordship thought the only remedy would be under the Nuisances Removal and Diseases Prevention Act, but it must first of all be proved a nuisance. With regard to the power his lordship had to interfere, he begged to re mind the deputation that one must only do what he was al lowed to do by law. Mr. TAYLOR suggested that his lordship had power to in terfere. Viscount PALMERSTON said that nothing that had been shown him had tended to convince him that ho had any power whatever. Mr. Wnaussox having referred to several acts of Parliament with reference to the question of jurisdiction, Viscount PALMERSTON quoted the act of last session, having jurisdiction in general over the whole country, and said that that act showed him that he had control over cemeteries out of London, that were constituted under that act of session. Mr. TAYLOR begged to call his lordship's site tiou to the difficulty and expense attending the indictment of any person for such nuisances as had been referred to. The last case, that of a boiler of the refuse of a soap-boiling establishment, was attended with great expense in obtaining a conviction, and he hoped his lordship would do something to save the pari s h authorities that trouble and expense in this case. Mr. WILLIAMS, M.P., also trusted his lordship would do his best to assist them. Mr. BRYON remarked that the comport)" could not say as an exouse, that they were stinted in ground. Mr. Churchwarden STRATTON said the railway company had said they should be glad if a short bill could be obtained to remove the existing responsibility. The company had 2,000 or 3,000 acres of land. He trusted his lordship sa w th a t they had just cause for complaint, for the parochial authori ties felt it their bounden duty to put a stop, or attempt to do so, to such evils. expresshis thanks to his Mr. Churchwarden GRAY begge d so lordship for effecting the closing of taa graveyards, and trusted his lorsdhip would give the matter sis serious consideration to prevent the formation of this charnel house in their parish. , c Mr. TAYLOR stated that there w as a dissentin g cha p el and school on one side of the railway, here the company' s arc h es would be situate, and on the other sae was All Saint's Church, and the schools attached thereto. After some further conversation , Viscount PALMERSTON again expre ssed his inabili ty to exer cise control where he had not th e power to do so, as was the case with regard to the matter 'brought before him by the deputation. He would, however, confer with the authorities of the South-Western Railway Company and see what could be done in the matter, after hearing what they (the railway company) had to say. His lordship promised that he would give every consideration to the arguments of the various members of the deputation. The deputation, having thanked his lordship for his courtesy in receiving them, and the patience with which he had listened `o them, then withdrew. at Portsmouth. Paymasters Edward Thorne (1829), to the Trafalgar, 120 flag-ship, at Sheerness; William P. O'Brien (1844), from the Simoom, iron screw steam troop-ship, to the Sanspareil, 70, screw steam-ship, in the Black Sea ; H. W. Hollinworth (1850), from the Fury, paddle-wheel steam-sloop, in the Black Sea, to the Simoom, vice O'Brien ; Thomas Ellard (clerk of 1846), from the Apollo troop-ship, to be Acting-Pay master of the Fury, vice Hollinworth ; H. W. Sandhere (clerk of 1848), from the Portland, 50, to be clerk in charge of the Apollo troopship. Clerk W. 11. Hatch, to the Powerful, 84, at Portsmouth. Clerks' Assistants Henry de Bidder, to the Duke of Welling. ton, 131, screw steam-ship ; Hamilton M. Cole, also to the Duke of Wellington. The Lords of the Admiralty have given notice at Lloyd's that another transport is required to convey cannon weighing 246 tons to Constantinople. The heaviest of these pieces of ordnance weighs about six tons. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Hima laya, Captain A. Kellock, left Southampton yesterday after noon for Cork. She will reach that port (all going well) on Wednesday morning. The embarkation of the Dragoons and horses is expected to occupy three days, and the Himalaya will, it is hoped, get away from Cork on Saturday next. Captain Crispin, R.N., of the Fairy, and another Government officer proceed in the Himalaya to Malta, to report upon the working of her screw propeller, with a view more especially of enabling the Admiralty to decide whether her Majesty's new steam-yacht shall be fitted with the paddle-wheel or screw. A rumour that the Queen would visit the Himalaya before her departure was entirely unfounded. It is, however, antici pated that her Majesty and the Royal family will inspect this noble ship on her return from the East. We understand that the great steam-packet companies connected with the port of Southampton have received an intimation from the Government, requesting them to hold at its disposal, from time to time, all the large steam ships that can be made available for the conveyance of troops. Every vessel, therefore, not urgently required for the mail service will be offered to the Admiralty. The Tamar, a beautiful new paddle-wheel steam-ship, of 1,800 tons, and 400-horse power, built on the diagonal principle, arrived at Southampton on Sunday, from the Thames. After an official trial trip, the Tamar will probably be despatched with the West India and Mexican mails of the 2d of June, leaving the Magdalena for the transport service, if she should be required. The Magdalena is a sister ship to the Orinoco, and capable of carrying 1,200 to 1,300 men to the East. The 27th Regiment, which is under orders for India, has received further orders to be in readiness for embarkation on the 15th of Juue next. Six vessels which are being fitted up in Liverpool as trans ports are expected to arrive at Kingstown before the close of this week. It is stated they are for the conveyance of the 4th Dragoons to Gallipoli, and of the 21st Regiment to Greece. One of the transports, the Maori, arrived at Kingstown yes terday, so that the embarkation of the 4th Dragoons will commence immediately. 530,200 519,836 Increase in 1854-5 over 1852-3 £229,341 -• •• 1853-4 218,977 RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.

HERTFORD, Ma. 22.—The polli ng commence d thi s mor ning at eight o'clock. The contest has been a very severe one, and perhaps almost the closest that has ever but nearly the whole of th em were taken place in an y count y election. T here are eleven polling places , reached by means of the electric telegraph, and the re turns were made with extraordinary regularity and ac curacy. At five o'clock the poll finally closed and the following return was made, the totals being : Puller 2,154 Smith ...... Majority for Smith THE ISLAND:OF ALAND, IN THE BALTIC SEA.—This island, in the Baltic Sea, which assumes a most inte resting character to us just now, on account of the posi• tion of our Baltic fleet, under the command of Admiral Napier, has already occupied a prominent character in the history of the country with which we are now at war. It is situated about twelve leagues from the coast of Sweden, between that country and Russia , and so important did Peter the Great deem the possession of it, in his struggles with the Swedes during the life of Charles the Twelfth, that he resolved to make himself master of it at all hazards, and, though obliged to pass full in view of the enemy's fleet, yet he succeeded in effecting this bold undertaking ; and as the coast around Aland is almost surrounded with rocks, the Czar Peter caused eighty small galleys to be transported by men over a point of land, and launched into the sea at a place called Hango Point, another sput to which public attention is directed in connection with the achieve ments of the present Baltic fleet. Historians inform us that this affair of the island of Aland was next to that of the battle of Pultowa, the most glorious, that had sTer befallen the successful arms of Peter the Great. . - Notwithstanding the severity of the contest, every thing passed off very quietly. Late in the day the bribery oath was administered to one or two electors. The offi cial declaration of the poll will take place on Wed nesday. BUSINESS OF THE PORT OF LONDON.—In the general business of this port during the past week there has been much activity. The number of vessels reported inward was 292, being 107 over that of the previous week. The total quantity of grain reported was 105,566 quarters, including 39,152 quarters of wheat, in addition to 2,527 barrels and 1,235 sacks of flour. Of tea there were reported 15,306 packages, and of sugar 1,368 hhds., 669 casks, 725 cases, 21,241 bags, and 17,865 loaves. The number of vessels which cleared outward was 104, being the same as in the previous week. Of these, 26 were in ballast, and only three, as above stated, for the Australian colonies. 1 il 'URA'= A.M.fi: ' i - ,t.ear was I vvS h ROYAL OPERAOPIURVIA. Mr. and Mrs. Sims Re h is` their fitirti94lA ante here last ni g ht, wheit...kuber's Fra Mattole, V 4 given in English. This charming specimen of French comic opera, familiar as it has long been on our-.stage, is always welcome ; and it must be a very bad perform ance indeed that could kill the genial gaiety and refined vivacity which run throughout this-work‘of true genius. On the whole it has, perhaps, scarcely even been better given by an English company than was the case last night. Mr. Reeves, as Bra Diavolo, sang throughout' with great dramatic power and expression. Mrs. Sims Reeves made a charming and graceful Zerlina, and both sang and acted with great naivete. Mr. Weiss gave a capital, and not too farcical, portrait of the foppish Lord Allcash, and his excellent bass voice and careful singing were of great advantage in the concerted music. Mrs. Weiss, as Lady Allcash, looked extremely handsome, and sang the little music allotted to the part as well as could be wished. Me.ssre. Leffler and F. Smith, as Giacomo and Beppo, infv,de a most picturesque pair of bandits, the latter gentleman especially displaying much grotesque humour. Their bye-play throughout was ex cellent, and formed an admira.ble accessory to the main action. Both chorus and orchestra were generally steady and efficient under tho baton of Herr Lind paintner, and the performance throughout was greeted with warm applause by a crowded liouse, and the usual honours paid to the principal singers at the conclusion of the opera. Last night was the commencement of a series of English performances, which are to alternate with the Italian and German operas, and to include not only translated and adapted works, but also some of native production. d A p I N'OES-186.

TELLERS, ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OP ENGLAND.—The half-yearly general meeting of this society was held yes terday, at 12, Hanover-square—Mr. Raymond Barker in the chair. The chairman said, he had in bygone years proposed several gentlemen to fill the office of president of the society whose position, in connexion with agricul tural and general attainments, had justified him in pre suming to nominate them, and had justified the society in confirming that recommendation. It had been the intention of the council to propose Lord Portman as president, but that noble lord had expressed his wish to be passed by, in favour of Mr. William Miles, whose name he begged to propose as the new president. Mr. Fisher Hobbs seconded the nomination, remarking that, in his opinion, these were times when the society ought to depart from its rule, and not elect their presidents from the peers of the realm. The secretary - read the re port and the financial statement. During the past half year 88 members had been removed by resignation or death, and 175 members had been elected, making the total number of members on the books 5,177. The en tries of stock and implements for the next exhibition, at Lincoln, on the 17th of July, were extremely nu merous, and a pavilion was about to be erected for the accommodation of 800 persons. Seventeen months ago a prize had been offered by the society for the best substitute for guano, and 143 persons had competed for it, all of whom professed to supply a mauure equal to Peruvian guano for all pur poses at a cost of less than 51. per ton ; but, until the value of those compounds was thoroughly established by the most satisfactory evidence, the society might be assured that the council would take no steps to mislead its members. The report concluded by congratulating the society on the improved prospects of agriculture, not only in England, but in the sister countries. After a bort discussion, the report was received and adopted. Mr. Orlebar inquired whether it might not be well to in crease the prize offered by the society for a motive steam power to be substituted for the plough and spade ? Mr. Fisher Hobbs said the society's funds would not justify a more liberal offer, but that the patriotism and public spirit of the agricultural machinists of the country would, he believed, induced them to contend for the prize in 1855, in which year it was to be awarded. The financial statement showed that the half-year's receipts, inclusive of 2,2491. carried forward from last half-year, amounted to 7,264/. Bs. 3d., and the payments to 6,1421. lls. 7d., leaving a balance in hand of 1,1211. 16s. Bd. After a vote of thanks to the chairman, the proceedings terminated. The society's exhibition in 1858 will be held at Chester. STEAM-BOAT EXPLOSION. —A t e rrible explosion oc curred in the bay of San Francisco on the 15th ult. The Secretary burst her boiler, carrying death and de struction in every part of the boat to the passengers, of whom a large number were on board. So great was the force of the explosion that the boat was literally blown to pieces. The Nevada happened to be near, and im mediately rendered every possible assistance. She im mediately put about, after caring for the survivors and attending to the dead. Many persons were blown over board, and their bodies not recovered. When the ac count left (the same afternoon) at least 36 persons were missing, but it was not supposed that they were all killed. ADELPHI THEATRE. Les Rifles do Marbre, a five-act drama, produced some time ago by the French company at the Soho Theatre, Dean-street, has furnished Mr. Charles Selby with subject for translation, or adaptation, which, under the title of The Marble Heart, was produced last night, with the most unequivocal success, at the Adelphi Theatre. It is true tale of the heart, a domestic tragedy of deep and powerful interest, enlivened by comic persons and incidents. Mr. Charles Selby has accomplished his translation too righteously, adhering as close) , as pos sible to the original drama, which is a pity, since Les Rifles de Marbre is diffuse to a fault, and from five acts might with propriety be cut down to three. With a liberal use of the pruning knife, we have no doubt that The Marble heart will become as great an attrac tion story, any piece p ro d uce d at the Adelphi for years. The though spun out to an interminable length in the drama, i s excee di ng l y plain and simple. A and to to ag des excite young painter fall s i n l ove w i th a lad en a c n our e who at first, thr oug h a sp i r i t of coquetry of wealth the rivalry of some of h er female frinds, addresses, and afterwards rejects him. The artist is a highly sensitive persons, and dies from the effects of the lady's cruelty. The first act is a dream of the artist, in which he fancies himself Phidias, the celebrated Grecian sculptor, and falls in love with his three statues Aspasia, Lais, and Phryne. The second act takes place in a wood at Fontainebleau, near Paris, when the artist, Raphael (Mr. Leigh Murray), meets and be comes fascinated with Mademoiselle Marco, the Marble Heart (Madame Celeste). In the third act we have the artist in his study with his mother and Marie (Miss Woolgar), an orphan who has been thrown upon their pro. tection. Marie loves Raphael, and the mother wishes for her union with her son. But Raphael's heart is ab sorbed by Marco. Act the Fourth takes us to the man sion of Mademoiselle Marco, where the young artist has been spending some weeks on a visit. The lady, whose whole aim in life has been to get well married, accepts the offer of a rich suitor and dismisses Raphael with contempt. In the fifth act Raphael returns home die tracted, and finds that his mother has died in his absence from grief of his desertion ; and he himself expires in the arms of Marie and his friend Volaga (Mr. Benjamin Webster), from conflicting and overwhelming emotions. Mademoiselle Marco, true to her character of the Marble Heart, comes in to win a bet that she would recall him back to her, and beholds Raphael dead on the ground, with Marie lying senseless over his body. The acting was excellent. Mr. Leigh. Murray had a most difficult part to play, but accomplished it with great power and finish. Madame Celeste carried out the intention of the author of Les Pines de Marbre with admirable art. Her cool ness was finely assumed, and her occasional displays of womanly feeling—which proved that her heart was only hardened, not marble—exquisitely managed. Mr. Benjamin Webster made as much of the hearty friend and counsellor of Raphael as could possibly be made ; and Mr. Charles Selby's Parisian exquisite was very striking if not natural. Miss Woolgar had not much to do in Marie • what she did was most graceful and touch ing. Mr. Paul Bedford's eccentricities as a French count appeared to be relished by the audience ; and the subordinate parts by Messrs. Parselle, Miss Emma Harding, Miss Fanny Markell, &c., were very re spectable. The scenery, dresses, and appointments were splendid and appropriate, and the drawing room in the house of Mdlle. Marco magnificent and gorgeous. AU the artists were re-called after the fall of the curtain, and received with the greatest enthusiasm. ASTLEY'S ROYAL AMPIIITEfEATRE. Numerous and fashionable audiences have attended the representations of a Tale of the Spanish War, which, from its grand effects, and particularly the judicious manner in which the horses have been introduced by Mr. William Cooke, has proved an universal favourite. Very superior training, we imagine, must have been employed by him to teach a quadruped the task required in the terrific storm scone, where the noble animal pre. serves his master from the fatal wreck. The scenes in the arena, too, deserve our highest com• mendation. The talent exhibited by Miss Kate Cooke and Miss Emily Cooke, placed in juxtaposition with that of the clever equestrians who astonish and delight, a source of considerable attraction. We understand that a grand spectacle is in prepara tion for Whitsuntide, founded upon some of the most stirring events of 18] 4, when the Russian Cossacks in vaded la belle France. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTER SAL L'S-YESTERDAY. The DERBY.—Some of the movements to-day were very significant and important. Dervish was in immense force. At the commencement sto 1 was laid, bnt in less than an hour afterwards 4 to 1 was taken to several hundreds ; 2,000 to 500 was booked in one bet. It transpired that the impulse was imparted in the course of the morning at the Club, the higher odds being . taken there to 4501. Meanwhile, Autocrat was so severely shaken, that the investment of upwards of 5001. at 6 to 1 could scarcely arrest his downward tend ency. 6to 1 was still offered at the finish. King Tom, though closely pressed by Dervish, maintained his lead with a degree of strength which gave encouragement to his backers. 7 to 2 were the highest odds obtain able. In the early part of the afternoon 300 to 100 was taken. 600 to 500 betted between him and Der vish. Andover was a little unsteady—after 1100 to 100 had been taken, he receded to 12 to 1 " offered to money ;" 450 to 25 once, and 1000 to 60 two or three times were jotted down about his stable-companion Hermit, and 6 to 1 taken about the two ; 1000 to 60 taken four times about Neville ; 20 to 1 currently of fered agst Wild Huntsman, take 25 to 1 ; 450 to 15 and 1000 to 40 taken about Hospodar ; 1000 to 20, 1000 to 25, and 1000 to 30 taken about The Trapper ; 1000 to 20 Alembic, 10,000 to 100 New Warrior, 10,000 to 100 Early Bird ; 2000 to 20 Champagne, Ostro gothloootoordloExeter4, 1000 to Boiardo, and 1000 t o 10 L , " lot."
