Licentiate of Apothecaries' Han, London, &c., doe. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have proauced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stsgee of Life, than, perhaps, a „ 3 other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal i s pArtieutarly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts or 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 thatall men should know, that there are Principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how the Se penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, that. there i s scarce l y any d egree of physical infirm it y or functional Trengement to which the timely aid of science can not apply a cure. T neAuther has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment 01 these delicate comp laints, which have unfortunately teen too generally confided to the care of ignorant em ahlo- 8 , who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in their pretensions NERVOUSErothe DEBILITY may be had, price 29, of Messrs.

In the meantime, - such a cargo of linen rags, lint, munitions of war, and packages for friends at the seat of war arrived as would freight one or more vessels entirely, but a goodly quan tity was got on board the Queen of the South, and she left Portsmouth harbour about 12 yesterday, her troops crowding tier decks, and being loudly cheered by the populace on shore. THE OVERLAND MAILS We have received, by special express, in antici pation of the overland m a il, our despatches fiorn India and China, a telegraphic summary of which was given in The Sun of yesterday. The dates are: —Calcutta, September 18 ; Madras, 24 ; Bombay, 28 ; Shangbae, August 26 ; Canton, September 9 ; Hong Kong, 11 • Singapore, 18. The following is from the suer nary of the Bom bay Times : On the 30th of August, Colonel Cotton marched from Peshawur for the purpose of destroying some insurgent villa g es to the north-westward. The force consisted of Gordon's Seikhs, a battery of the Mountain Train, two comp an i es of H.M. 22d, the 2d Company of the Sappers, and 9th N. 1., or about three thousand in all. The rear was covered by the 13th Light Cavalry. The village was taken without opposition, and burnt to the ground, the trees being afterwards de-troyed and gardens uprooted. These measures, severe as they seem, are indispensable to check the marauding of ferocious borderers who will require many years of castigation to bring them to order or teach them forbearance from plunder. The severity is one of the necessities of our position, stretching as our territory does along the frontier of a mass of moun tains, much too vast for us to occupy or penetrate, where the people on the one side have been for ages robbers by circumstances, and where we are the protectors of their former victims we do not chose to suffer them to be robbed with impunity. Some of the usual disturbances in the Nizam's country have just occurred. A party - of Rohillas, about 500. strong, took the field and seized posses sion of a fort, in which they seemed to propose to maintain themselves. Brigadier Mayne, with the right wing of the 2d cavalry, four companies of the infantry, and a few guns of the 2d company artillery —about 600 in all—left the cantonments at Au rungabad on the evening of the 20th inst., and arrived at Sailoor, the position of the Rohillas, 40 miles distant, at four o'clock next evening. The Rohillas refused, on being summoned, to sur render, and the Brigadier required to wait to tiring up his heavy guns, proposing to cannonade them as soon as these arrived. In the course of the night the enemy attempting to escape were attacked and dispersed with great slaughter. Our casualties consisted of one man killed, and one officer and ten men wounded, none of them severely. Through out India at large profound tranquillity at present ippears to reign, British Burmah forming no excep tion. In Pegu even robberies appear to have ceased, and the brother of the King of Ava is said to be on his way to Calcutta at the head of an embassy to endeavour to induce us to abandon the small ter ritory from which the royal family derives its name —willing to make any concession if this can be ob tained. The recent spirit of improvement which seems to have become infused into Government ap pears as if it had awakened fresh enterprise among the people, and we do not recollect ever to have seen anything ike the manifestations of energy and self reliance amongst the natives at present to be wit nessed on all sides of us. There have been two serious fires at Aden, one on the 6th of August, and the other on the 9th of Sep tember, the particulars of which will have reached home some weeks before our paper arrives. The rains of this season have been unusually protracted ; 13.81 inches have fallen in the course of September, the 14th having been one of the wettest days of fhe season, and great atmospheric disturbances have been experienced almost simultaneously all over India. The monsoon at Bombay has on the whole been eminently favourable, so much so that we are beginning to fear that our waterworks may he forgotten, and we certainly shall not have a yard of pipe laid near Bombay at all events for three years to come. The Governor-General and local governors are at present all at the respective seats of their authority, to all appearance actively iccupied in their gubernatorial duties. The pros pects of trade are highly favourable ; in tha money market there is no change, money, for which there is no demand, being abundant. A few months back Lord Harris, Governor of Madras, published an admirable manifesto on the !,eneral improvement of the country, and this has ' since our last been followed by a second paper equal excellence in reference to the tortures supposed to be indulged in in raising the land revenues of the presidency. Abandoning the hush 'ng up and mystery-mongering system formerly in favour, and which the India House seems so reluctant to relinquish, he comas boldly forward in the spirit of an English noble resolved to in vestigate the matter to the bottom, to expose the ilauder if it be one, if it be not one to exterminate the offence. The Western India Irrigation Com pany have now had 48,000 shares applied for in India, or, assuming that no more than ten thou sand are required for England, eight thousand more than the proposed capital, and all this has happened in six weeks, without the slightest influ ence or effort being used. They are now on the point of applying to Government, and of calling up their deposits with the strongest reason to feel confident in the results. The irrigation field first to be examined is the rich tract lying betwixt the Nerbudda and Taptee, from the base of the high lands towards the sea, along a line of about forty miles of canal, with a navigable river at each end. This tract was strongly recommended by Colonel Grant in 1849, and by Mr. Mackay in 1851. The survey is expected to be completed by the time the cold weather is over, and the works to be begun before the commencement of the rains. As the capital will only bo called up as required by the contractors, and the canal be made available as it is cut, there is every reason to hope that dividends will be coming in on the full amount paid up within a twelvemonth of the first call being made. Our spinning and weaving, our gb n ae o erdn i e rueniiufvoseredu, sevenm a , li d a picture aller,and zoological caper manufactu r i ng , our Scinde Ra il wa y, and Indus salt exp or ti ng pro j ects are all i n progre ss, and all promis ing t o fl our i sh, The plan o f an eco nomic u years nder under infinitely moref a v h o a u s r n a b o l w e auspices than formerly. City at all events, through dissensions in the rebel ranks, which have groNs n to such a height, that those to the east of the city lately rendered their assistance to the Mandarins, in an attack on the band to the north ; but their offer was declined. They are all, however, beginning to feel discouraged by their long-continued uon-success, and destitu tion of supplies. On the east they have been (Us.: persed, and a leader captured ; in the north they have effected nothing ; to the west they have been driven back by the bravos belonging to the 96 vil lages who some time ago banded together in self defence ; and at the south they are fully occupied by dissensions among themselves. In the 30 skirmishes about Canton, the manda rins have been victorious in all except four. There has been none since the 2d inst. The encampment of the rebels to the north of the city is at Sian kiang, about 12 miles from the northern wall ; and the eastern encampment is about the same distance front the eastern wall, at San-po-heu. The leader of the band on the north is said to, be Ho-alak of Tung-kwan celebrity. The statements as to the numbers at these encampments vary from several thousands to several tens of thousands. Great distress from want of food prevails in the city among the poor, and some soup kitchens are being opened by the benevolent to supply congee at about one-third the usual charge. A grand consoo of the high officers and gentry of the city has been held, at which the latter urgently recommended an appeal to foreigners for assistance. The Governor-General himself was in favour of the measure, but was deterred from acting upon it on his own responsibility through dread of being re ported at the capital by a censor, the only dissen tient at the consoo, but a man of some standing, and the same who penned the memorial which led to Muh-chang-ah's degradation. Meanwhile, how ever, a report of the state of affairs and application for instructions have been forwarded to Pekin. The province itself, however, is still in a fright ful state, and thousands of villagers have joined the rebel ranks to save themselves from starvation, so that it is not to be wonder e d a t th a t th e rebels in the province now number not less than 100,000 ; and as they live entirely by exactions from the peaceably disposed, the sum they have already col lected must amount to several millions of dollars. Till within the last week or two, the eastern portion of the province remained undisturbed ; but the taking of Cowloong and Chung-chow by bands of marauders from Hong Kong has been followed by the capture of Haifung and Lok-fung, in Hwui chau. The extensive conflagration mentioned in. our last Overland, as having been seen from Cumsingmoon, was the burning of a large and wealthy town in Shun-teh named Pih-Kiang, set fire to by the Triads, because the inhabitants would not quietly accede to their exactions. Two-thirds of the city is said to have been destroyed. TRIAL OF THE PELTER. Her Majesty's ship Pelter was tried yesterday at the measured mile in the Solent as to her speed, and after wards outside Spithead, to the eastward, in gunnery. The Vivid steam-yacht attended her with a party of dis tinguished officials on board, to watch and report her several performances ; among them were the Port Ad miral, Sir Thomas Cochrane, Rear-Admiral Berkeley, one of the Lords of the Admiralty ; Captain Sir B W. Walker, Surveyor-General of the Navy ; Captaii, Sir Thomas Maitland, of the Excellent gunnery ship Mr. Watts, assistant surveyor ; Mr. Dinnen, chief en gineer, &c. The vessel, we are told, answered the ex pectations of the witnesses of her capabilities. Sir Baldwin Walker and his assistants, Mr. Watts (shipwright) and Mr. Dinnen (engineer), inspected be veral steam vessels in progress in Portsmouth Dock yard yesterday. Captain Horatio T. Austin, C. 8., appointed superin tendent of Deptford Victualling and Dockyards, has arrived and commenced his duties at the head of these important naval establ►shments. Acting-Assistant Surgeon J. W. S. Meiklejohn has been apppointed to the Harrier, screw steam-sloop, at Portsmouth. The gun practice at Shoeburyness having been con cluded for the season, Major Crofton's company arrived in garrison at two o'clock p.m. on Thursday, on their return from Shoeburyness. ARRIVALS, &c., AT MALTA. A letter from Malta, dated 21st of October, says " Our dull island is once again animated by the con tinued arrival of troops from France, forming part of the large contingent of 25,000 men, currently reported as preparing for the seat of war. " Her Majesty's sere vr line-of-battle ship Algiers arrived from Plymouth on the 12th, and after taking in some large fiat-bottomed boats fur the landing of troops, took her departure for the Crimea on the 14th, followed on the same afternoon by her Majesty's steam corvette Fury, which returned on the 11th from Marseilles, whither she conveyed the official accounts of the battle of the Alma. The Longsor, French postal steamer, arrived from Mar seilles (having had to put into Hyeres from stress of weather) on the 17th, and left for Syra, Smyrna, aryl Constantinople, on the same day, having on board 358 rank and file of the French army. The Caire, Frenct. postal steamer, also from Marseilles, arrived on the 17th, bringing 443 rank and file, with whom she proceeded to Constantinople on the 18th ; on which day the Nil, another French postal steamer, arrived from Marseille , bringing other 411 rank and file, and proceeded on the same day to Constantinople. "Among the English, the last few days has brough' the stearwlip Faith, and this morning the Gladiator steam-sloop, with artillery draughts. The former had on board Assistant-Surgeon Protheroe, Messrs. Stewart. Fernandus, Philpotts, and Moore, with 71 rank and file, Royal Artillery ; the latter, Assistant-Surgeon Johnson, 68th Regiment, Captain Younghusband, Lieutenant Tucker, and 154 gunners, Royal Artillery. " The screw-steamer Syrian, from Liverpool, arrived in part yesterday morning, having made an excellent run out. " The arrival of the French mail-steamer yesterday morning from the Levant brings us no news of any exciting importance. "The deadly effects of the gallant affair of the Alma are becoming more and more apparent, and numerous are the arrivals of the wounded. A few days age one of the Peninsular and Oriental Company's ste am-shi p s arrived with 600 wounded, under the care of two artny and one navy surgeons, assisted by the medical officer attached to the ship. An idea of the desperate nature of the wounds received may be collected from the fact that on the passage one of the medical officers performed the operation of amputating the leg of 20 of the suf ferers. " The Banshee reached Constantinople on the 15th, with dates of the 13th from the Crimea. "The Inflexible and Sidon (English), with the Caton and Cacique (French), have been engaged at the mouth of the Dnieper in cannonading the Russian forts, San Nicolao, and another in the town. The Russians fired hot shot at a distance of 5,600 yards, but the firing wat, not good, falling generally short of the mark, but at times the eliot fell near 'and passed between the mast heads of the vessels engaged. Luckily the loss on our side was nothing. One of their shot went through the funnel of the Sidon. The principal object of tilt. vessels taking !up the position was to cut off the body of the relief marching towards Sebastopol. In this they were quite successful, for they were turned at the Lake of Dovinoski, and again at the lake of At jalik, and the squadron, following them along the coast, has not only harassed them very considerably, but has, as a matter of course, delayed from day to day the union of the reinforcement to the besieged army in Sebastopol. On Wednesday morning the Cork river steam-vessels Prince, Prince Arthur, and Royal Alice, commenced taking down draughts of the following regiments to the Jura, transport steamer, Captain Wickman, bound for Constantinople :-200 of the 55th (the Westmoreland), 100 of the 30th (Cambridgeshire), 100 of the 33d (the Duke of Wellington's), 100 of the 41st (the Welsh), 100 of the 47th (Lancashire), 100 of the 50th'(Queen's Own), 80 of the 68th (Durham Light Infantry), 130 of the 49th (Princess Charlotte's), 250 of the 57th (West Middle sex), 63 of the 63d (West Suffolk), all under the com mand of Captain M`Quarry. The draughts were all in fine order, considering the circumstances under whicl, they were embarked, many of the men being but a short time enlisted. The band of the 91st Regiment accom panied them to the quay, and, before the steamer left, three hearty cheers were given for the Queen. Twenty medical officers sail with the troops. The Jura trans port is one of the longest and most powerful steam vessels afloat, being 40 feet longer than the Great Bri• tain, and interior in size to none but the Himalaya. Her engines are of- 500-horse power, and she is fitted up with every requisite for her voyage. She is registered at 2,100 tons, which is said to equal 3,000 tons burden. THE MILITIA. The Juverna steamer, of the Cork Steam-ship Com pany, arrived arrived in Cork on Wednesday, bringing on board five companies of the 2d Somersetshire Militia, under command of Lieutenant-Colonel Luttrell. Each of the five companies contains 61 rank and file. The band of the 91st Regiment met them at the quay, and played them up to barracks. Among the officers who accompanied the militia to Cork are Lieutenant-Colonel Luttrell, commanding ; Captains Pickwick, Thackeray, and Waring ; Lieutenants Barrett and Luttrell ; Ensigns Barrett and Harwood, with Surgeon Thomas Barnett. Major-General Cochrane, commanding the Dublin district, inspected the dinners, hospital, books, &e., of 3d West York on the 23d, and, on the 24th, at half past 11 a,m., the regiment in marching order, in Richmond Barrack-square. After seeing them go through the manual and platoon exercise, and through several manoeuvres and changes"l of position, the General ex pressed himself highly satisfied with the appearance and discipline of the regiment, remarking that he never ex pected to see the regiment in such a state of efficiency— not inferior to a line regiment. COMMUNICATION WITH THE CRlMEA..—Arrangements have now been male and will speedily be in operation for securing to the French and English Governments a direct communication every other day from the Crimea to Paris and London ; and we must again express our surprise that this was not one of the very first provisions made for the publio service. Steamers will now, we believe, be despitched every 48 hours to Varna, whence a relay of couriers will convey the despatches to the Austrian frontier, where a telegraph is already established. THE POST-OFFICE OFFICIALS AND OU R S OLDIERS IN EAST.--A T HE EAST. A movement is making amongst the offi cials at the Post-office towards subsc r ibi ng a d ay ' s pay for this patriotic object, which , .we h ear , i s progressing most favourably.--Civil Serv i ce Gazette. F O RTH AND CLYDE NAVIGATION. —The h a lf- year l y meeting of this comp an y was h eld on Wedne s d ay a t Glasgow, when a dividend of _ payable on the nth of No vember per cent. was declared, SAMQUA, THE TAOUTAE. We have no news of consequence from the north. The rebels still hold Shanghai, and the degrada tion of Samqua is not likely to hasten its recapture by the Imperialists. A false report was current in Shanghai that the ex-Taeutae had committed suicide by swallowing gold ; but we have seen a letter of late date from one of the family, in which no mention is made of such an event, Fut confirm ing the intelligence contained in the following para graph from the North China Herald, of Aug. 12:- - "Taoutee Woo, we hear, has been accused by his su periors on five counts, the principal of which are-1. Embezzling the duties collected at this port ; 2. Compli city with the rebels ; 3. His taking Lew into Ins pay, and yielding up the City of Shanghai to him ; and 4th. Entering into trading speculations with foreigners. He went to Snocherr some time since, and, it is said, was there arrested and sent on to Pekin. Lan is sent here to take his place, and Keih, the judge, is in high favour, and has been appointed lieutenant-governor of Keangi son. The former governor, Heu-nae-ohaou, has been deprived of office, and placed under the orders of Heang yung. MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

BOMBAY, Sept. 28.—Money as usual at this season continues abundant. Thero is little demand, and we note no change in the market during the fortnight. Go ♦ernment securities are inactive at former quotation., and we record few transactions in Bank shares for the last few days. Since our last report we regret we have no more en couraging accounts of the state of our markets to give— from the very large stocks new on hand and the antici pated large arrivals of almost all classes of piece goods, coupled with the low exchange ruling and the general desire to realise, has tended to keep the market in much the same state as last reported. Since our last in some classes of goods there has been a fall in value, and with the low exchange the results must he very unsatisfactory to importers. Our rains are now, we may say, over, and the fall has been a fair average of former years. Should the accounts from the interior still keep favourable, we may look for a greater activity in our markets ; but until after the Dewallee holidays, which occur about the latter end of next month, no material change need be looked for. Cotton Piece Goods.—The still occasional sale of da maged goods has bad an injurious effect on this class of goods. Grey Shirtings.-40 inch by 38 yards, of 71bs and under, have been taken to the extent of 21,800 pieces, at rates fully one anna under previous quotations. Bleached Shirtings—Of the common qualities under Rs 4 the supply is small, and they are held at a slight increase in value. Madapolams, 83 inch 24 yards—The sales reported amount to 19,400 pieces, 31b. at rs. 1.1 to rs. 1 12i ans. Jacconets, 40 inch by 20 yards, of the lower quali ties, have been neglected ; 10 pick and upwards 45 inch seem scarce and wanted. Long Cloths, 40 inch by 36 yards—The demand con tinues steady. Domestics are still without inquiry, and we hear of no sales. Coloured Mulls, Book Muslins, and Bleached Lappets are dull and with little inquiry ; the arrivals expected of this class of goods are large, and sales have been forced on the market at reduced prices. Cotton Yarn still continues dull, and farther reduced in value, the sales amounting to 142 bales. Metals—Keep firm. Swedish bar iron has advanced. British has also slightly advanced. Nail rod and sheet iron have also been sold to a considerable extent. Steel has declined. Copper is firm. In sheeting there has been a slight advance. Braziers as before. Saffron—Dull. Cochineal—Firm. EXPORTS. Cotton.—Since the arrival of last mail with unfavour- able accounts, the previous steady business has been checked, and buyers have been holding back ; lower prices would now be accepted. The only purchases have been for the English market. For Broach and Surat, Rs. 95 per candy ; Dhollera, Rs. 86 ; Oomrawuttes, Rs. 93. For China there is nothing doing. Wool and 13emp.—The stock in our bazaar is but small, and the quality inferior. Prices nominal. Tonnage.—The arrivals have been moderate. Freights to Liverpool st 31. 15s. to 41., 3/. 17s. 6d. having been given to London and Liverpool. Exchange has again further declined, owing to the small supply of China bills and the limited amount of local drafts, the present quotations being ls. 11 1-16 d. for first-class credits, six months' sight ; for documents, is. Hid. at ls. Did. China nominal. CALCUTTA, SEPT. 1S The commercial advices by the steamer Bengal, which arrived here on the 13th instant, are of such a nature as to impart more distrust on all produce shipments, the market for almost all descriptions of East India produce being dull. Indigo had been more firm. Silks, though resulting in loss, had been more inquired after, and some small sales of the March bund. Hurrypauls are reported at Bs. 6d. to 10s. 6d. Sugar, after declining considerably, had experienced a reaction, but the only descriptions that had actually advanced a little, were Cossipore and fine Benares, which were scarce. Sa lt- a petre has again g iven wa y 6d. to is. per cwt. 7ith . dull market. Stocks in consequence of the proh to e xport had increased about 4,000 tons more ibition than same period last year. Our market for British cotton piece goods remains , [PRICE SD• without any signs of activity. In the lace of the ap proaching holidays dealers have not come forward freely, expecting a further reduction, and, though importers are rather anxious to realise, they are partially checked by the decline in exchange. Business has therefore been transacted to a moderate extent, and in some instances purchases have been made on easier terms. Grey and white shirtings continue in limited inquiry, but figured shirtings are almost unsaleable. Jaconets are a shade lower without any improvement in the demand. Tiiere is not much doing in grey and white madapoliams. mulls remain unaltered, A fair amount of busi ness has been done in book muslinq, for the Burmah market. The other descriptions of goods continue with out any alteration, the quantity disposed of being on a limited scale. In metals we have not much to report. Copper is in steady demand though the price is a shade lower. No change in iron. Our money market is in a satisfactory state, available funds being abundant, and accommodations are easily obtained at very fair terms. Exchange is lower, with the expectation of a further downward tendency. We quote six months' sight papers : First class credits at ls. 10, 1. to ls. 11d. per Co.'s Rs. ; documents at ls. 11d, to is ditto. Freights—The advance in the rates to Great Britain has been maintained, though there has not been much activity on the part of shippers, and but little has been done the last two or three days. There is no tonnage in vessels leaving before the holidays available now, and we do not expect a decline until after the holidays, when a number of vessels will have arrived to meet the demand. In the country trade freights have been firm, and small vessels are trying to load fast, to sail before the holidays commence. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. BOMBAY.

We still continue in the state of doubt, appre hension, and excitement in which we were in when the last mail left for England. Disaffection is still the vogue. Reb e lli on i s still paramoun t, an d if we judge from the various accounts before us, the rebels are all but the paramount authority in China. Strictly local news we have but little. The Chinese fillihusters from this place, in number about 500, hav e recaptured Kow-Wou, w hi c h pl ace is again in th e h an d s of the Imperialists. I n H ong Kong itself a ll i s quiet, and sickness much the same as previ ous l y reported. At Canto n matters remai n in a state o f grave complexity. Th e mandarins ev i nce li t tl e determi nation for a reso l ute fight ; the rebels, on th e o th er hand, feel convinced that they are unable to cope with their adversaries without large guns, which they do not possess, and are therefore unable to commence the threatened siege. The rebels confine their operations to a strict blockade, not merely interdicting the importation of provisions into Canton, but effectually preventing all expertations, so that the large stocks of tea and silk still remain above Canton. From Shanbai we have but little news. Samqua the Tuvutac has been degraded, simply because he could not do impossibilities. The place remains in the bands of the rebels, and will probably continue to do so. The French frigate La Jeanne d'Arc, Admiral La Guerre, went on shore in the Yang stzo-Kang, whilst in charge of an American pilot, and will not therefore be able to join Admiral Stirling in his operations against the Russians at New Archangel (Sitka). The English, French, and American Plenipoten tiaries are about to go to Shanghai, and will pro bably proceed to Peking or Nanking. Commodore Perry goes home by the present mail to the United States. ADMIRAL STIRLING AND THE BRITISH FLEET. Of Admiral Stirling's intentions the only thing known is, that his excellency, in the Winchester, with th• Encounter and Barracouta in company, was at the mouth of the Yang-tsz'-kiang when the Lady Mary Wood passed, waiting for the Styx, which was coaling at Shanghai ; and that as soon as she joined, the fleet was to proceed to Japan, and thence, it is believed, to the north.

Yesterday the casting of the largest cylinder in the world was successfully accomplished at Messrs J. Scott Russell and Co.'s building yard, Millwall. It is the last of four intended for the new iron steam-ship, now being built by Messrs. Scott, Russell and Co. for the Eastern Steam Navigation Company, which, when, completed, will be the largest steamer afloat. The cylinder cast yesterday is 18 feet long and 6 feet in diameter; 33 tens of metal were poured into the mould, but when bored and finished off it will weigh about 28 tons, or 62, 7201 b The great bell of St. Paul's, it may be Aserved, which is 9 feet in diameter, weighs between 11,0001 b. and 12,0001 b., and the great bell of Moscow, which weighs 432,0001 b., and is 21 feet in diameter at the bottom, only stands 19 feet high. Strictly speaking, this cannot be called the largest cylinder in the world, as it has three fellows already in existence of equal size, but we believe that none of similar dimensions have ever before been attempted, or at least accomplished. The vessel for which they are intended is of proportionably monstrous dimensions. Her length will be 675 feet, her beam 83 feet, and her height 60 feet. A comparison with the Royal Albert, which is 272 feet long, 62 feet broad, and 66 feet high, will at once show what a 1 -viathan the new steamer will be. She is built entirely of iron, and i. divided into compartments of 60 feet each, perfectly watertight. About 10,000 tons of iron plates will be used in her, and, as each plate weighs about a third of a ton, and is secured by 100 rivets, there sill he 30,000 plates and 3,000,000 rivets employed in her construc tion. At her bottom these plates are an inch thick, in all other parts but three-quarters of an inch. Up to the water-mark she is constructed with an inner and outer skin, three feet apart, each of equal firmness and solidity ; and between these, at intervals of six feet. run horizontal webs of iron plate, which materially increase the - powers of resistance both of the inner and outer skin. By this mode of construction it is calculated the dangers of a collision at sea, such as occurred lately in the case of the Arctic, are very much lessened, for though the outer skin might be pierced, the inner one remaining intact, as it would, except under mast extraordinary circumstances, the safety of the ves sel would be in nowise endangered. Again, should she be short of ballast, the space between the inner and outer skin can be filled with water, and 2,000 tons of ballast in this way obtained. When full, it is expected she will draw 30 feet ef water—the Duke ef Wellington draws 27 feet—when empty 22 feet. Beth screw and paddle propellers are to be used, and the cylinders just described are intended for the paddle engine. The screw engines are being made by Messrs. Boulton and Watt. The paddle engines are 1,000-horse power, aed are fed by 40 furnaces. The screw engines are 1,500-horse power, and require 60 furnaces. The paddle-wheels are to be 60 feet in diameter. Ne apportionment has yet been made of the space to be devoted to cargo and pas sengers respectively, and this will probably depend greatly on the requirements of the traffic, to be trs ascer tained only by experience. There are to be three t t of cabins, and it is calculated that in eachconiapn of 60 feet space will be found for 100 cabins , manner this will be unusually high—eight feet. In thisfi compartment tu th e e n se 2,000 second and third-class pas monster steamer can carry a. bo n u s t elne 6 t o .e o r.s. such and troopships as this would mater n ia em y y , s country.

LIVERPOOL, Friday.—The alarming fire that yesterday broke out in the warehouses in Launcelot's Hey is, we regret to say, still unsubdued (5 p.m.), and strong fears -" are r i n o g h e fi ofre thoseil aos entertained that th e d evour i ng e l ement will magnificentcommu nicate wburning e warehou bweene ses fronting New Quy, oee exceedingly l a y t the iog ul rear. aori Thecoau; of of which the course It commenced in th e ce ll ar of the southern extremityga the pile, and then e ith er was driven or followed a nor therly course until, it was imagined, nearly extinguished in the northern extremity of the cellars. Here it seems to have concentrated itself, and then ascended perpendi cularly, and having forced its way through the roof, commenced its ravages at the summit in the very oppo site direction to that pursued at th e base, travelling from north to south. Up to ten o'clock last night the contents of the ware houses in which the fire originated, although smoulder ing, had not burst forth into flame. The progress of the fire, however, was steady, and by eleven o'clo c k th e flames had burst through the windows of the whole of the warehouse on the nor thern extremit y of the pile to which the efforts of the firemen had been directed to keep them, and shortly before twelve the roof fell in with a tremendous crash, and then the flames burst forth with brilliant, hut destructive effect. In a very short tine the upper floor of the adjoining warehouse became ignited, and the heat became so intense in the street that the firemen had to remove, it being found impos sible to remain any longer in the position from which they had been previously playing. The fire bad at one o'clock attained such a head that the efforts to check its progress seemed unavailing, and the third ware house of the pile caught fire, while an explosion of tur pentine in the cellar showed that it still smouldered there, and drove the salvage-officers from their posts. Ralf an hour afterwards the front of the warehouse at the northern extremity of the range fell in with a tre mendous crash, but, luckily, without causing either loss of life or personal injury. From this period the flames spread in every direction with fearful rapidity, baffling the, efforts of the firemen. The front wall of the second central warehouse fell in about six o'clock, and also, as in the case of the latter, without accident. The fall of this wall greatly facilitated the operations of the firemen, and hopes began to be entertained that the fire could be confined to the pile in which it originated; nor up to the hour of the despatch of our parcel had these hopes been disappointed. All day, however, the fire has continued to rage among hugo masses of cotton ; the roof of a third warehouse has fallen in, and the front wall seems doomed. The efforts of the fire brigade are unabated ; but though large volumes of water are steadily poured with great skill and tact upon the burning masses, it falls hissing and smoking from the heated walls. Numerous bodies are busily employed in removing the goods from the warehouses fronting New Quay, and great activity is displayed in tumbling bales of cotton into the street underneath, to facilitate the clearing out of the rooms. Merchants and brokers eagerly throng the adjacent streets, and the windows of the houses in the neighbour hood, from whence they can anxiously watch the pro gress of the destructive element. There was scarcely a breath of wind while the fire was raging, and to this, in a great measure, may be attri buted its limited operation. The damage must be very serious, for not only is a large pile of warehouses de stroyed, but very great damage has been done to the property in the other warehouses by the quantity of water thrown upon them. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. ABERDEEN. The half-yearly ordinary general meeting of the Aber deen Railway Company was held at Aberdeen on Thurs day. The chair was occupied by Lord James Hay. The report stated that the receipts for the past half year had been 49,973/.; and, after deducting expenditure, there was a free surplus of 5,3391., adding a surplus on previous half-years of 5,2241.—a gross surplus of 10,563/. The directors believed that the revenue as from let May last would be sufficient to maintain the full dividend on the Six per Cent. Preference Steck of the company. From a comparative statement of traffic for the last two years, it appeared that the increase in passengers was only about 5 per cent. during that pe riod ; the increase, however, in the tonnage of goods was about 40 per cent. During the same period, the total receipts had increased from 35,237/. for the half year ending July, 1851, to 49,973/. (as above) for the past half-year. The percentage of expenses on receipts had fallen during the same period from 57.371 per cent. to 51.418 per cent. By the recent completion of the new station, affording access to the very centre of the city, and the opening of the Great North of Scotland Railway, an influx of traffic was expected. The efforts of the directors to induce proprietors to take up the de benture stock had been as yet but partially successful ; but as the security is undoubted, and as the object is de , irable, a hope was expresed that the remainder would still be taken' The directors also asked authority, as on former occasions, to issue deferred dividend warrants to holders of Seven per Cent. Preference Stock for the half-year's dividend falling due thereon on Ist November next. Resolutions were passed unanimously, in conformity with the report, and a vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the business. TRAFFIC RETURNS FOR THE PAST WEEK.
