NORMAN, one of the fleet of the General Screw Steam :shipping Company, is appointed to Leave SOUTHAM ['TON on the 4th of April, with her Majesty's mails, for ADELAIDE, PORT PHILIP, and SYDNEY. The Queen of the South, which was the pioneer ship of the Indian mail steam-ship line (via the Cape of Good Rope), returned from Calcutta to Plymouth on the 26th of February last, her third voyage, punctually to an hour—a significant fact, and 'worthy of note, especially when it is considered that the distance is about 27,000 miles by sea, and that Abe had to stop at seven ports outward, and eight homeward. This feat has not been accomplished by any ships in the world but by those belonging to the General Screw Steam-shipping Company. The Queen of the South is sister ship to the Argo (also one of this Company's fleet), which reached Australia from Southampton in 64 days, and returned to England in the same time. The ♦rgo wu the first steam-ship that returned round Cape Horn, thus literally circumnavigating the globe in 128 days, which has yet to be equalled. It is deemed but just to the public to state these theta, that they may know what this Company's magnificent vessels have done, and thus be able to form a rational calculation as to what they are likely to do in their service to Australia. It is also essen tial to prevent these vessels being confounded with others which have not been so fortunate. _ _ _ The mail service to Australia will be continued by the General Screw Steam -shipping Company every alternate month until further notice. The Qaeen of the South is ship rigged (the Argo was barque rigged), and it is not unreasonable to anticipate that, with favourable wind, she will make the passage to Australia in 60 days, or less, thus affording to passengers and shippers a most desirable opportu nity for quick transit, that, under existing circumstances in the East, may possibly not occur again for some time. The arrange nsents for passengers are unsurpassed for comfort and elegance. Bates of passage-money, 50 guineas to 100 guineas. Freight, 91.

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 peruse As particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and whe 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 these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequenc es may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. The Author 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 empiries, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in their pretensions.

The tribe of 'Quiet Sympa thisers,' and Medical Friends,'are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book lould find its way into the hands of those who suffer from the com plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would oe saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of less importance, though It is that which the quacks most prize— much money This volume is well qualified to put an end to the empirical system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to place the treat ment upon a more rational and physiological basis.

Everywhere the signs of an early Spring are apparent, and the exit of a rigorous Winter is not to be regretted, though thousands have found the winter attire made by E. MOSES and SON the most admirable security against inclement seasons. Early as Spring may be, it is not too early for E. MOSES and Sox, whose preparations are magnificent and complete, embracing the tasteful productions of every country in the world, the earliest and best samples of the richest and neatest materials which improved manufacture has de vised. E. MosEs and Sox have experienced very great advantages in their magnificent selections for the Spring Season, and will again render these benefits accessible to every patron of their City and West End Establishments. It becomes E. MOSES and Sox to remind their patrons and the public that their Bespoke and Ready-made Clothing Departments are managed with unparalleled experience, skill, and attention, that the most talented cutters and the best workmen are employed on every style of dress, and that the most celebrated fashions for Spring are prepared by E. MosEs and Sox. The Hat and Cap Department is replete with every novelty manu factured in London and Paris, and the brilliancy of the goods, united with the most economical prices, will constitute the principal attrac tion of the Spring Season. The Dress for Ladies and Children pre pared by E. MOSES and SON exhibits the most elegant materials and designs, and a variety of novelties which it is impossible to describe. The Hosiery Department presents a New Stock of the richest and most elegant articles for Ladies and Gentlemen, which are sure to prove more than ever attractive from their Syle, Fashion, and Cheap ness. Implicit attention is paid to all classes of Emigrants, and the best and cheapest Outfits are furnished by E. Mows and Sow. The Goods in their gigantic Wholesale Department are prepared accord ing to the latest instructions from all parts of the world, and are sure to find ready sale and large profits in any climate whatever. CAUTION. —E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard 'the nubile against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like f tlsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION wino ANY OTHER ROUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155. 156, and 157, Minories, 84 85, and 86, Aldg ate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

We extract the following from a letter from Omer Pacha to Lord Dudley Stuart : " SCHUMLA, MARCH 6. "After the affair of Citate I ordered small detach ments to cross the Danube, along the whole line, with instructions to make prisoners. This order was so well executed that not only were the majority of Russian out posts surprised and their stations burnt, but some Rus sian and Wallachian soldiers and Wallachian peasants were made prisoners. The latter declared that various Russian columns were marching towards Lesser Walla chia; and the conclusion was easily drawn that the object of the Russians was to attack our position at Kalafat with considerable forces. To gain time to throw troops into Kalafat, and to draw off the attention of the enemy from that place, I ordered two important demonstrations, as if we seriously purposed crossing the Danube, and to establishing ourselves at the other side ; the one at Rut schuk, on Giurgewo, the other at Matschin, on Ibralia, took place with a sufficient number of troops. In these demonstrations it came to hard blows and much blood shed; but, God be praised, the advantage was always on our side, especially on the first demonstration, on the great island opposite Rutschuk, where our heavy artil lery caused serious damage to the enemy's ranks. In the two demonstrations the Russians lost more than 400 men killed, probably double that number wounded, and 14 prisoners. Our loss was scarcely one-third of that of the Russians. "We afterwards learnt that the Emperor Nicholas had sent strict orders to Prince Gortschakoff to attack Kalafat without delay with considerable forces, and, as haughtily expressed, to drive back the Turks into the Danube ; but fate decreed it otherwise. Gortschakoff, who wished to direct the attack himself, had left Bu charest, and established his head-quarters at Krajowa. It was there, at 8 p.m., that he received the news of the demonstrations, probably exaggerated, for in the same night, fearing Bucharest was not sufficiently gar risoned, he countermanded the advance of the columns, and started in great haste for Bucharest. Arrived there he found he was wrong, and,again ordered the troops to Lesser Wallachia. Meanwhile, we had gained time; our reinforcements reached Kalafat and Widdin, so that we now have there of 30,000 men, and 96 siege and field pieces. Although the Russians, according to reliable information, have 30,000 men in Lesser Wallachia, they have lost the desire to attack Kalafat, and have the project of crossing the Danube at other points. Should they do so (as their present forces in Wallachia are not sufficient to attempt the offensive beyond the Danube), they would render me a great service, by giving me the opportunity of severely chastising these barbarians, who, in a disloyal manner, and we have a right to say so, have, like brigands, entered our 'lenses. " The Russians have also attacked, with their flotilla, our fortifications near Tschatalbournou, Isaktscha once, and more than once below Matschin, near Potbaschi, always with vigour but without result. It appears that their artillery is very badly served. Our sol diers are commencing to have such a contempt for the Russians that, on the occasion of the cannonade by their flotilla against our fortifications, they mounted upon the parapet and walked about there. The spirit which prevails in the army is excellent. Mus tapha Pacha, actually in command in the Dobroutscha, has done extraordinary things ; he has established very solid fortifications near Tschatalbournou, at the point where the Danube divides into two arms, between Isaktscha and Toultsoha, where, in consequence of mo rasses, he has made three covered dykes, each 2,000 yards in length, and which serve to keep up the com munication. The fortifications of Potbascbibelow Mats chin, at the confluence of the arm of the Danube of Braila with that of Matschin, are also newly established. Besides this, he has had secretly constructed, a little below Potbaschi, in a thicket of willows, a bonnet, the object of which is to allow the Russian steamers and gun-boats to pass quietly by coming from Galatz to wards Potbaschi, and only to open fire upon them when they should have commenced attacking Potbaschi, thus placing them in a cross fire and cutting off their retreat; therefore I have ordered the said fortifications to be armed, quite secretly, with siege artillery, and I hope for a good result. " .. 6 ;chmet Pacha has just fortified Kalafat in such a manner that it could not be taken except after a regular siege, for which the Russians have not sufficient troops. "In the demonstration at Rustchuk on Giurgewo, 300 Catholic Myridites were sent into the bog island between those two places, with a battalion and a half of infantry and two field mortars. The IVlyri dites, before crossing, swore in the presence of their priest to conquer or die ; they kept their word, and conquered ; their brave priest, cross in hand, always leading them on. This little detachment, altogether not exceeding 1,600 men, not only drove back two attacks at the point of the bayonet of three Russian battalions supported by four pieces of artillery, but, protected by the heavy artillery of Rustchuk, they drove the Russians completely out of the island. Happily for the Russians, this island was connected with the left bank of the Danube by three bridges (on the arm which is only 80 feet wide), which they had built before the declaration of war, and this enabled them to escape in the greatest disorder, leaving 100 dead on the island. Our troops could not pursue them on to the right bank, as detach ments of cavalry and artillery were placed there opposite the bridges ; they, therefore, contented themselves with chasing them over the bridges, and then withdrew to their quarters at Rustchuk. Sixty muskets were car ried away as trophies by our brave soldiers. Their cap tain, some of the officers, and the brave priest, received the decoration of Medjidye. " With God's blessing we have hitherto completely paralysed the Russian flotilla by our fortifications ; it is by this means now split into three parts, which are of scarcely any effect, and cannot form a junction without immense sacrifice. " The Russians had recently established a battery op posite Rustchuk, but happily that battery was so placed that, after various trials without result, they gave up the idea. " The Russians have been apprised of the existence of our bonnet in the willow thicket below Potpaschi, and they have constructed fortifications opposite to it. In the night between the Ist and 2d March they at tempted to surprise the garrison of the island. With this object in view, they embarked two battalions of in fantry in merchant vessels from Galatz, and made for the island. This movement was detected by our out posts, who gave the alarm. The Russians had, mean time, landed, and were advancing on the bonnet by a flank movement. The small garrison, consisting of four ,1 companies and three guns, left the entrenchments under cover, and took up a position behind the thicket. They there opened a fire of grape upon the Russians, and charged with fixed bayonets. The Russians retreated in great disorder, leaving 80 killed, comprising four officers and four non-commissioned officers, and 60 muskets. They were in such haste to escape that they left the anchors of their boats, cutting the cables, and many of the men were drowned. On our side we lost ten men killed (among whom were a major) and thir-s teen wounded. The following day ten or twelve carts were seen conveying the wounded to Galatz. Three battalions, which came up from Matschin to support our men, found the Russians in full retreat, and did not take part in the fight. In the last days of the month of Feb ruary the Russians had established three batteries on the large island near Zimnitza, which is only separated by a narrow canal from the left bank, on which they had constructed a bridge. From these batteries they intended destroying the trading vessels in the port of Sistow, but their fire was harmless, in consequence of the width of the Danube at this point ; after that, during the night, they took possession of the island of Wadu rnadassi, situate a little below Sistow ; they even com menced throwing up fortifications there and landing ar tillery, when they were attacked by our troops. The attack was so successful that the Russians were driven out of the island with considerable loss, and our troops entrenched themselves there. Our loss consisted of one man killed and two wounded ; that of the Russians could not be ascertained, as the island is so wooded." REPRESENTATION OF LIOHFIELD.—The Hon. T.

The long continuance of certain diseaes arising front impurities, while it tends to render detection more certain, and thus frequently to embitter the domestic hearth, also serves to excite feelings of dis appointment. and to induce lowness of spirits, and other sensations of a most painful kind. The TRIESEMAR effectually, in the short space of three days, completely and entirely eradicates all traces of these Diseases, to whatever stage they may have advanced, possess ing at the same time the manifest advantages of being utterly devoid of taste or smell, and of all nauseating qualities. It may lie on the toilet table without its use being suspected.

Lieutenant-Gineral Lord Raglan, G.C.8., when he pro ceeds to take the command of her Majesty's land forces in the East, will be invested with the full powers of a Pleni potentiary and Generalissimo, to enable him to act on any emergency on his own judgment, without being under the control of any ambassador, while on so important a mission as the command in the East. The Horse Guards have at length determined upon send ing the cavalry force to the East through France, via Mar seilles. The first squadron will embark at Dover orFolke stone on the Ist of April. The Gazette of last night contains the announcement of the brevet promotions of the brigadier generals for service in the East. The following list of the staff appointments in the expe ditionary army may possess some interest, though nearly all the names that appear in it have already, from time to time been announced : Commander-in-Chief, General Lord Raglan, G.C.B. GENERALS OF DIVISION. Lieutenant-General Sir George Bi;;;;;;K.C.B. Major-Generals his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam bridge, Sir De Lacy Evans, K.C.8., Sir Richard England, K.C.8., the Earl of Lucan (cavalry). GENERALS OF BRIGADE. Brigadier-Generals H. J. Bentinck, Sir Colin Camp bell, K.C.8., J. L. Pennefather, C. 8., the Earl of Cardi gan (cavalry), Richard Airey, H. W. Adams, the Hon. J. Yorke Scarlett, George Buller, C. 8., William Eyre, C. 8., J.

DEPUTY-ASSISTANT-QUARTERMASTERS AND ADJUTAIN7T- Resolute stated that they were off Deal yesterday, and lay ing at anchor, probably to season the horses before pro ceeding down the Channel, on their voyage to the Medi terranean es. The Palmerston John Masterman, with Captain Paynter's battery, including the horses on board, left their moorings off the Royal Arsenal yesterday afternoon, and were towed down the river by hired steam-tugs, and it is expected they will be able to join the others off Deal, and all the nine horse transports already despatched proceed in company to their destination. The general quality of the hay supplied by the con tractor in whose lot the dead lamb was found was not bad, which has created an impression that the lamb which was entire and in a perfectly fresh state, had been stolen by some person and hid in the hayrick, with the intention of being removed when an opportunity offered to do so, without detection ; but in the interval the rick had been cut into trusses and pressed, as the head of the lamb was pressed quite flat. The hay which had been put on board the vessels and afterwards taken on shore subsequently to being inspected by Quartermaster Oliphant and Sergeant- Major Wea,re, of the Royal Horse Artillery, was very bad indeed, and deserving of the character given to it by both houses of Parliament. The dead lamb was discovered by Quartermaster Steele, of the 3d battalion, in a lot of about 300 trusses, inspected by him when delivered from the barges, and before being put on board of the horse transport-ships in the river. The quartermasters of the battalions having companies under orders for foreign ser vice still proceed daily totDeptford to inspect the forage for the horses. The Admiralty have just issued the following important notice : " Wanted, for her Majesty's serviee,rable-bodied seamen to be employed in ships fitting to form the Baltic fleet. " Menwlio may volunteer for this service will be dis charged at the end of the present year if they wish it. " 'Pages-21. ls. 4d. per month for able seamen, and as high as 3/. 2s. per month for petty officers. " Pensions—Pensions for wounds or hurts will be libe rally granted to all men volunteering for her Majesty's service. " Advance —Two months advance (clear of all deduc tion) will be paid to every man before he sails. When the period of service for which these men volunteer is com pleted, they will have a free passage provided for them to whatever port they were raised at, if they wish it." SHEERNESS, Aaiun{ 24. The Horatio, 24 guns, screw steam guard-ship, Com mander Robert Jenner.—Orders were received here yes terday for this ship to leave to-morrow (Saturday) for Hull. The Driver, 6 guns, paddle-wheel steam-sloop, Comman der the Hon. Arthur A. Cochrane.—David Courtenay, acting assistant-surgeon, from Greenwich Hospital, took up his commission yesterday, and joined this sloop. The Long Boat (tender to Captain-Superintendent C. Hope), Reuben Harvey in command, left here this morn ing for Woolwich. When near the Nore Sand she fell in with a barge deeply laden, in a sinking state. She suc ceeded in towing her into harbour, and berthed her in Shepherd's Creek, near Queenborough Swale. Mr. Reuben Harvey.(who recently passed as a Queen's pilot for the Medway, and reseived the gratuity from the Trinity house) has just passed for the River Thames to Gravesend, as a Queen's pilot, and has been presented with the gra tuity for passing by the Trinity-house. The Majestic, 80, new screw steam-ship, Capt. Jas. Hope. —This ship will be completed in her fitment by the dockyard by the 31st of the present month. She has taken on board her spare screw propeller. The Rosamond, 6 guns, paddle wheel steam-sloop, Com mander G. Wodehouse.—Two boatswains and one gunner have been ordered to join this sloop, to do quarter-deck duty, in lieu of mates. This sloop and the Driver are daily expected to leave here for the Baltic. DEAL, MABOH 24, 8 p.m. Arrived and passed the Palmerston, transport No. 7, from London to Malta; the John Masterman, transport No. 8, from London to Malta; the Alipore, transport No. 9, from London to Malta. DUBLIN, FRIDAY MORNING. The detachment left behind on the embarkation of the 33d is under orders to embark in the Cambria steamer, from Kingstown, on Monday or Tuesday next. Draughts of the 19th and the 50th (Queen's Own) will embark with the detachment of the 33d. The 90th Light Infantry, now stationed in this garrison, have received orders to furnish 20 volunteers for the 63d Regiment. The required number has been obtained, and will probably join their new corps to-morrow. It is said that the corps at home, which are not under orders for immediate active service, and which have recruiting par ties actively employed in completing them to their aug mented establishments, have received an intimation that those parties will recruit only for regiments proceeding to Turkey. Brevet-Lieutenant Haines, 21st Fusiliers, is performing, ad interim, the duties of Assistars-Adjutant-General of the Dublin district, Lieutenant-Colonel Doyle being about to proceed with the expeditionary force to the East. It is reported that the 16th Lancers are to move from Dublin to Cork on the departure of the sth Dragoon Guards for the seat of war. The Prospero war steamer has arrived in Kingstown harbour for the purpose of embarking the remainder of the Coast-guard, and as many volunteers as can be procured for service in the fleets. A good many able young men have already volunteered. Captain H. E. Weare, 50th Regiment, left the Royal Barracks on Wednesday for London, to proceed thence by overland route to Malta, having been appointed to the staff of the expeditionary army. Circulars have been addressed by the War-office to of ficers on half-pay residing in Ireland, requesting instant answers to questions with respect to the time such officer has been in receipt of half-pay, the causes which led to his retirement, whether from ill-health, or from what other reason, his present age, and whether he would be prepared for active employment in the event of his services being demanded by the Horse Guards. It is believed here that the information thus sought for has for its ultimate object either the embodiment of the old veteran battalions, or the calling out, at no distant period, of the Irish militia. This, however, is mere speculation. GENERALS. Captains E. R. Wetherall, Ist Foot (Ist battalion) ; the Hon. A. Hardinge, Coldstream Guards ; J. Hackett,.77th Foot ; William Morris, 17th Lancers ; William Sankey, 47th Regiment ; R. Blane ; J. Woodford, Rifle Brigade ; A. H. P. S. Wortley, Cape Mounted Rifles; H.E.Weare, 50th Foot ; H. E. Butler, 55th Foot. SOUTHAMPTON, MARCH 24. By the arrival of the steam-ship Sultan we have received accounts from Gibraltar of the departure of the 44th Regi ment from that garrison to the seat of war in the East. The Royal mail steam-ship Orinoco, Captain Wilson, ar rived at Gibraltar in 3t days from Malta, on the 9th inst. The 44th, under Lieut.-Colonel the Hon. A. A. Spencer, embarked on the 10th. It consisted of 30 officers, 47 ser geans, 18 drummers, and 850 rank and file. The Gibraltar Chronicle gives the following particulars of their depar ture : " At half-past 10 o'clock this morning the regiment paraded in heavy marching order, and, after being in spected, marched down to the New Mole-parade, headed by the bands of the 13th and 30th Regiments. On arriving here, they formed quarter distance co l umn , opene d th e i r ranks, and were inspected by his Frxcellency Sir Robert Gardiner, who went down the ranks, acco m p an i e d b y hi s staff. After being inspected, they formed square, were feelingly addressed by his Excellency, and gave several hearty cheers, and one cheer more for the Que en . Th e Grenadiers then marched off, headed by their own band; and, as the other companies followed, the bands of the 13th, 30th, and 92d, played appropriate tunes. The men wore in excellent spirits, and had altogether a most soldier like appearance. " The following garrison order was issued yesterday : " The Governor hereby congratulates the 44th Regi ment on being nominated to share in the brilliant services now preparing in the East. " Under any other circumstances it would have afforded him the greatest regret to lose their services in this garrison. " He wishes to recall, in this brief order, his admira tion of the perfect order, discipline, and efficiency which have marked their cond uc t d ur ing the period he has had the happiness of serving with them. " ' They embark under a commander who will assuredly lead them to distinction, with every certain prospect of that success and honour which, with health and happiness, he most ardently wishes them.' " The Orinoco left her moorings for Malta at 2 p.m. on the 10th, amid the most deafening cheers from thousands of spectators, who had lined all the walls of the fortress, and from the Scots Fusiliers on board her Majesty's steam frigate Simoom, then lying in the bay. The detachment of the 44th Regiment which remained behind at Gibraltar was to be attached to the 13th Light Infantry, till embarked for England. The 55th Regiment, at Gibraltar, was medically inspected on the 10th instant. The 30th was also undergoing medical inspection. The 30th and 55th were to be made up to the strength of 850 rank and file each, by volunteers from other corps, and a number of the 13th and 92d had volunteered for this 7 enlajesty's steasirtroep-ship Simoom, having on board the Ist battalion of the Scots] Fusilier Guards, reached Gibraltar on the 9th inst. in eight days from Portsmouth, all well, and sailed on the 11th for Malta. The French war steamer Gorgone arrived at Gibraltar on the 9th, from Brest, with 200 French troops on board for Toulon. The Fulton arrived on the 13th from Brest, with 198 soldiers on board. The French 'star steamer Eumenide put into Gibraltar on the 11th inst., with her machinery out of order. A French squadron, composed of one line-of-battle-ship, a screw steam-frigate, and three steamers, was expected at Gibraltar, from Brest, on their way to join the fleet at Toulon. . The British transport-ship Georgina passed the Straits of Gibraltar, with troops on board for the East, at 10 a.m. on the 14th inst. Another transport-ship (name and nation unknown) passed the straits at 4.30 p.m. on the same day. She was followed by a French frigate. The French war steamer Newton arrived from Lisbon on the 15th. PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 24. The Caesar, 91, Captain Robb, has been exercising her raw levies of seamen in duties aloft to-day. Having em barked her Baltic pilot, we imagine she will not stay long at Spithead. The Victory and Sealark exercised the naval apprentices in gunnery practice this morning. The Conflict, 8, Captain Foote, arrived at Spithead this morning, from Devonport. She will go to the Baltic in a day or two. The Gorgon, 6, paddle-wheel sloop, C o mmander Cum ming, sailed early this morning for the B a lti c . Her Majesty's steam-yacht Fairy was hauled on to the graving slip to-day, to unship her Griffith's screw, and ship one made by the chief engineer of this dockyard, Mr. Andrew Murray. Boscawen, 70, Captain Glanville, on her way to join Sir C. Napier, from Spithead, was obliged t o anc h or o ff D over on Thursday. She was observed beating up against the wind most industriously for hours, but on account of the hazy weather it was deemed prudent to bring up off Dover. Here was felt the disadvantage of being without steam power. The smallest amount of screw propulsion would have sent this vessel onwards to her destination without delay. " PAYING DOWN" THE PENELOPE.—A o ,ODIPLIMENT TO THE MARINE ARTILLERY.—The Penelope, 16, paddle, Capt. Henry Lyster, was paid down to-day, commencing at one o'clock. The crew, as we before stated, will have a fort night's run—in the interim may volunteer into other of her Majesty's ships ; nor were there any lack of officers on the look-out to secure the services of her " true blues." On the detachment of Marine Artillery leaving the ship, Cap tain Lyster addressed a few very appropriate words to that most valuable corps, the party being under the com mand of First Lieutenant Macnamara. They numbered about 40, an d h av i ng f orme d a b reast of the ship, the gal lant and much-respected captain thus addressed them : " Royal Marine Artillery—ln partin g with you lam anxious to express my satisfaction with your excellent conduct whilst on board the Penelope, under my com mand. I wish you well with all I)3 Y heart, and I only hope that should I have to command any other ship, or the Penelope again, I may have as good a body of men, as I have pleasure in recognising in y ou. ” The Marine Artil lery then formed four deep, and, preceded by their beau tiful brass band, marched out of their barracks at the gun-wharf. PLYMOUTH, MARCH 24. The officers and men of the brigade force in the royal dock and victualling yards at this port have been measured for their uniforms, according to the new pattern, which is said to be a great improvement on the old. It i s expected the drill will commence some time durin g the next month. In consequence of the increasing duties in the storekeeper's department in this dockyard, another third-class clerk is to be added to the establishment. The Conflict, 8, screw, Captain Foote, left the Sound at 6.40 last evening for the Baltic, calling at Portsmouth on her way thither. She took with her so me supernumeraries for the Royal George. T he Confl ict was inspected by Admiral Sir John Ommanney before leaving. The James Watt will be taken . out of harbour to-mor row, wages in advance. row, and will b© She took her powder and shell on board yesterday. Some alteration is to be made in her magazine. The Nautilus arrived at three o'clock this morning from Falmouth, having on board nine seamen volunteers for the navy. The African Mail Company 's screw steam-ship Faith, Captain Parsons, will leave this port this afternoon, with the usual mails for the west coast of Af r i ca . We understand that the appointment of the Hon. M. Stopford, as superintendent of the dockyard, is only. tem porary. A large body of workmen are fast proceeding with th e completion of the Exmo uth, 91- g un screw-ship, buildi ng a t this port. The Magicienne steamer, Captain Fisher, arrived this morning with 217 Coast-guard men and 11 volunteers for the navy. The volunteers were sent on board th e J ames Watt. The Magicienne , o n her arrival, was ordered to proceed to Portsmouth and take the Coast-guard men with her. WOOLWICH, MARCH 24. Captain Henry Vailo, Lieutenant C. B. Nurse, two ser geants, two corporals, one drummer, and 84 pri va t es o f the Woolwich division of Royal Marines were played by the band of the division from the barracks to the dock yard station of the North Kent Railway, for conveyance to Strood, en route to Sheerness, where they are to be ac commodated until the arrival of the Hannibal, 91, screw steam -ship, at present having her machinery put on board by the workmen of the factory. The Hannibal is to be masted and rigged at Sheerness immediately she is out of the hands of the engineers at Woolwich. The Comet, steam-vessel, has been ordered to Woolwich from her employment in surveying on the coast of Scot land, that her officers and crew may be turned over to the Alban, steam-vessel, commissioned by Commander Henry C. Otter, as the Alban is intended for service in laying down buoys in the Baltic sea. The Rhadamanthus, steam store-ship, Master Comman der John Belam, is taking on board machinery for the Colossus, 81, at Portsmouth, and will be ready in a few days to proceed to that port. The latest intelligence relative to the six horse trans port-ships, the Pyrenees, Lieutenant and Agent Butler, Her Majesty, and the Mercier; the City of Carlisle, Lieu tenant and Agent Hoops, the Earl of Shaftesbury, and the NAVAL APPOINTMENTS. Mate—Robert A. Parr (1851), recently serving as acting mate of the Thetis, 38, when on the Pacific station, to the Caesar, 91, screw steam-ship, at Portsmouth. Clerks' Assistants—Charles W. King, to the Nile, 91, screw steam-ship ; Thomas N. Firth, to the Cressy, 81, screw steam-ship ; and Charles Gribble, to the Hannibal, 91, screw steam-ship, at Woolwich. The above appointments have been made to ships making ready to proceed to join the Baltic fleet under the com mand of Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Napier, K.C.B. Rear-Admiral Fanshawe, C. 8., the Commander-in-chief for the West Indies, will proceed to Halifax by the North American Mail Company's steam-ship America on the Ist of April. He will be accompanied by his flag-lieutenant, Mr. Yonge. The Admiral will hoist his flag in the Vestal, 26, Captain Thompson. We regret to hear of the death of Captain Francis Price Blackwood, son of the late distinguished Vice-Admiral Sir F. Blackwood, Bart. His last service was as flag-captain at Portsmouth, and previously to that he co►nmanded the Fly, 18, and in her was for many years engaged in surveying Torres Straits, &o. ~i i THE BLACK SEA FLEET. A private letter from an officer on board the fleet gives an interesting account of the late cruise of the Agamemnon, Terrible, Highflyer, Inflexible, and Sanspareil, convoying Turkish troop-ships : " We cruised along the Circassian coast to the Russian fortifications, at the river Poti, as far as Fort Rouly or Redout Kaleh. As we stood close in, there seemed to be great excitement, and all the troops hastened to the forts. After taking a good survey of it we returned to Batoum, to pick up our ships. The Russians did not hoist their flag. " If war should really be declared, the destruction of all the small forts on the Circassian coast is cut out for the flying squadron, as we are called, and free the coast for the Circassians, who will soon make the Russians move ; for if attacked by sea the mountaineers will be down on them in the rear, and the 17,000 Turks will be able, under the protection of the allied fleet, to march along the coast. There is deep water within musket shot of the shore. " Having called again at Sinope to let the Turks coal, we returned to our anchorage hero (Buyukdere). During the trip we had but one rough day. The weather was de lightful, and but for the thousand and one reports to the contrary, I should think that the winters of the Euxine were much enlarged upon. True, the country was covered with snow, but the days were mild. We did not see a Russian during our cruise ; no great wonder, since they are enchained in Sebastopol, off which place are the Furi ous and Firebrand, with two French steamers, watching movements. " The steamers are now coaling, and anxiously waiting the next move on board. It is to be hoped that the next card played by the Czar will be a good one, or it will cer tainly be ruffed. " Every one will be disappointed if there should be no war, for all are elated with hope, and ready for the fight, even to the boys. " Of all the ships in the steam squadron th e Agamem non must bear the palm , steaming with the greatest ease her 11. knots. The Sanspareil is a sad specimen —neither steams nor sails. Were a Russian fleet to be fallen in with, she must be towed nearly all th e way b y th e Ter rible. The French screw is little better, and must be towed. The High flyer is a beauty. It i s rea lly a s i g ht every night to witness the Turkish steamers. They take shelter under the wings of their allies as a brood of chickens die turbed by an enemy."—Plymouth Journal.

FAT A L COLLISION IN THE CHANNEL PLY 3 tc lIITH, MARCH 24.—The American ship Ann Kem ble, Ca of Bain Pike, entered the So un d thi s a ft ernoon with five feet: water in her hold, having been in contact at half past one, this morning with the bark Bonetta, belonging to Liverpc bl. The bark registers 267 tons, and was bound from P e:rnambuco with sugar for Hambnrgh. She had been in to Fowey, and left that port with the captain's wife on boas xi on Wednesday evening. At the time of the dis aster th s) Start bore S.S.E., distance 19 miles, wind N.E. by N., •weather hazy; she was under all her canvas, and had In v port tacks on board; the helmsman mistook the Am orican's light for the Portland light, and when too late ported his helm. The bark was struck on the bend of the port bow, and, being heavily laden, went down almost immediately head foremost. The master, W. W. Tav r, mate, Richard Colings, and second mate, John Border, were the only persons saved. The American was of 1,001 tons burden, and being in ballast was high out of the wr er, so that the bark's foreyard only reached the ship's 1 bulwarks at the time of contact. The Ann Kemble was b( nind from London to Cadiz, and was under courses, topsails,topgallantsails, mainroyal, jib, spanker, maintop mast s taysail, on the starboard tack, steering west by north. Her si :cm is split, and woodends started, and she has gone up Ca &water to repair. Elegy inn persons belonging to the Bonetta were unfortu nately drowned—viz., Mrs. Taw, the master's wife ; James M'Dor nagne, of Dublin, ship's carpenter ; Luke Raney, of Wexf , xrd; William Bird, of Newcastle; Daniel Morris, of Fiahg' card ; and John Jones, of Liverpool, able seamen ; ilua Watkins, of Plymouth, steward ; Daniel Lamb, an Iri sibman, ordinary seaman; Edward Fergoe, of Liver pool ; ,and Michael Wallace, of Dublin, apprentices ; and Fredei6ck, the ship's cook, of Bristol. VALUE OF LANDED PROPERTY IN AUSTRALIA. It Lappears that the value of both house and landed props rty in Australia continues to rise, and from the comm.luisications now received on the subject it appears that a, still further advance is certain to take place. Not c ally are the town lots rising in value, but the nub. urban . and country allotments are realizing higher prices L. The results of the latest public sales which had taken, place at Sydney are thus given : " Sixty-three acres of land, known as Carroll's Farm, situate. in the district of Illawarra, about five miles from igong, at la per acre. The whole was described to ha' se been cleared and fenced in, and to comprise, amongi, it its other improvements, a slab-house, &c. "A nineteen-acre farm, situate in the same district, but distant only about a mile and a half from the township of Wollcmgong, at 231. per acre. The whole fenced in, and sub-diEvided into paddocks, and a portion of the land now tinder. crop. The improvements comprise a substantial slab-c ottage, together with other out-buildings. " I 'My acres of land in the same district, distant about five i niles from Wollongong, near Mount Kembla, at 61. 10s. p er acre. " T `wo half-acre allotments in the township of Wollon gong, bounded by Kembla and Market-streets, for 2101. the two. " The estate of Bendeila, situated in the district of Illa warra, close to the dairy establishment of Mr. Osborne, M.C., oomprising in all 800 acres, at 11. 10s. per acre. The improvvments consist of newly-erected four-roomed slab house, dairymen's hut, partially erected barn, milking yard, !stock-yard, piggery, &c. ; and the standing crops comprised wheat, barley, oats, rye, and potatoes, sufficient for the next year's supply of the establishment ; together with about 100 acres of clover. There is the advantage of a 10,0001 acre Government run, 2,500 acres of which are secured under the pre-emptive right." TEE PRESTON STRIKE. COMMITTAL OF THREE MORE DELEGATES PRESTON, FRIDAY. The committal of seven of the operatives' leaders has already been announced. Yesterday, the borough bench was occupied with the cases of Jas. Waddington, Wm. Parkinson, and Joseph Dolphin, also charged with a similar conspiracy. The proceedings occupied until late in the evening. The following was among the evidence produced : William Abbott, warehouseman in the employ of Messrs. Birley Brothers, cotton spinners and manufac turers, Preston, deposed :—I was sent over to Ireland for the purpose of engaging-hands. Succeeded in making arrangements with a number to come to Preston. Those persons were chiefly out of employment, and 130 of them were in the union workhouse of the Belfast union. I paid the passage money and railway fare from Belfast to Preston for 141 persons, who were workers. I landed in a small boat before the steamer with the Belfast emigrants got to the quay. I saw Joseph Dol phin, William Parkinson, and another person I did not know. Dolphin said I was a nice man to go and de lude persons in that manner, the father of a family, as I was. I said they might mind their own business and I would mind mine. W. Parkinson said, what would I think if they sent them all back again. I said I thought they could not do that. I next went to the railway station at Fleetwood for the purpose of getting the car riages down to the quay. The train was nearly due, and I did not succeed in getting the carriages down. Parkinson followed me, and took a ticket for Preston. I did not see him afterwards. I went back to the Nile steamer, which had then come alongside the quay. I saw the man whom I did not know by name on board the steamer, in the midst of the people I had brought over. I heard him tell them that I had deluded them, and they seemed quite exasperated at me. Previous to that time they had been quiet and contended. In con sequence of their feeling exasperated, I left them for a short time. I saw no one interfering with them in the steamer except the man I did not know. I returned to the people in a short time, and found them landed near to a public-house called the Victoria. Dolphin and the man I did not know were amongst the people. Dolphin said to the people, " Come with me and you shall have something to eat." I said, "If you will come down to the station with me you shall have plenty of good cheese and bread, and hot coffee." I got nearly all to go with me to the station. I kept my promise them, and gave them good bread and cheese and hot coffee. While they were in the station I saw Dolphin and the other man, but did not hear either of them say anything to them ; they appeared to be mixing with them at the sta tion. After the people had got refreshment at the station, Dolphin and the other man went away, and most of the people followed them. I brought the remainder, 40 in number, on to Preston. I lost 101 at Fleetwood. John M`Laren, 15 years of age, one of the immigrants brought from the Belfast Union, said, when we got to Fleetwood a man came on board the boat and took us to a public-house. He told us to go back to Belfast, and not to go to Preston, or we would be killed ; he said he would pay our passage back again and give us half a• crown a-piece. This was on board the boat, and he said he would take us down to a house and !give us some coffee and bread and cheese ; I don't remember he said anything more. Don't know who that man was. We were afterwards told that if we went on to Preston we should be killed, as there were 10,000 waiting for us on Wednesday night. I went back to Belfast. We should not have gone back to Belfast, only these men told us we should be killed if we went to Preston, and we were frightened. I remained in the public-house all the day. I only got 2s. to go back besides my boat fare being paid. At night before we went off, we got bread and cheese and ale. Dolphin went back with us to Belfast, and landed us at the quay and told us he would meet us at the workhouse gates at four o'clock ; he met us there at four o'clock ; and he went to the master to got us in. When he came back, he said the master would not let us in without a line from the relieving officer. I and some other boys who had returned from Fleetwood want to the relieving officer, and he gave us a line to go into the workhouse, and we got in. Since then I came over to England aid paid my own fare to Fleetwood with the two shillings I got ; and an old man, a ;grey-headed man, got us a ticket for Preston. The parties were committed for trial. DEATH OF COLONEL MOUNTAIN.—Died, at Futtyghur, India, on the 18th of last month, Colonel Armine Simcoe Henry Mountain, C. 8., Aide-de-Camp to the Queen, and Adjutant-General to her Majesty's Forces in India. Colonel Mountain was taken ill on Sunday, the 29th of January, when on the march with the Com mander-in-Chief, Sir William Gomm, from Cawnpore to Futtyghur, and died in camp at the last mentioned place, mourned and lamented by all. Colonel Mountain served as Adjutant-General to the army under Lord Gough in China, and was very severely wounded during that ser vice. On his return to India he was appointed Ad jutant-General to her Majesty's Forces serving there, and on the breaking out of the war in the Punjaub had the command of a brigade, with which he served with so much distinction at the battles of Chilian wallah and Gujerat that, at the termination of the last battle, he was promoted to the command of a division under General Sir Walter Gilbert, and sent by him in immediate pursuit of the enemy. A t the conclusion of the war he resumed his appointment of Adjutant-Gene ral. Colonel Mountain, it may truly be said, earned distinction wherever he was, whether in ca m p, quarters, or the field, being alike distinguished for gentleness, assiduity in the performance of his duties, and gallantry, and he has died, a sad loss to the service as a Christian and as a soldier. Colonel Mountain was a son of the late and brother of the present Bishop of Quebec. - l A tI P - . sp A . p h EXECUTION OF MOSES :•er. , , —4 ' 4 •Vtil *V . - ),„ Yesterday morning sentence of de ~ Atio,x . e . : ,, , 2 -- .1 6 + 4, front of the new county gaol at A -. 1, • ' • .r 44.. 1 -.4‘ g 4 Hatto, aged 25, for the murder o ' -fello • . 1711 1 L " '.

From the time of hiSaoii '.: . ~;- ',v ..-,.. 4 ... the least hope had been held out to Haita„,:.an... ‘- :- V . ...,7 dently expected the fate which awaited him. F am te time of his conviction the chaplain paid the greatest attention to his spiritual wants, and a great part of the convict's tine was spent in religious exercises. Yesterday morning Hatto appeared on the scaffold attended by two of the warders and the executioner (Calcraft), at two minutes past eight, and appeared to be very firm and collected. As soon as the cap was about to be placed over his head, he uttered in an audible tone, " Lord, have mercy on my soul." Cal craft then adjusted the rope round his neck, and placed him on the drop, and at four minutes past eight he was launched into eternity. He scarcely appeared to make a struggle. . The town, the night preceding the execution, was completely filled with the lowest of society, and it was supposed that there were upwards of 5,000 persons pre sent to see the execution, a great number of them being females, all in holiday attire, and none appeared to enjoy themselves more on the occasion than a married couple, formerly fellow-servants of the culprit, who came a dis tance of 27 miles on purpose to gratify their curiosity. THE CONFESSION OF HA.TTO. The following is a copy of the " confession" made by Hatt() : "Bucks County Prison, Aylesbury, March 9, 1854, 8 p.m. " Moses Hatto, in the presence of the governor and the chaplain, says that for the relief of his own consci ence, and in order that what he is about to state may prov e " The fit a warningrs make th e f o l lowing confession, to go forth to the public : of it was on the Wednesday be fore Old Michaelmas-day last, when Mary Ann Stur geon asked me to lend her a sovereign to send home to her friends. This was said in the kitchen, in the pre sence, but not in the hearing of Willis's cook from Nor folk, and it was plain that Sturgeon wished to have the money without the knowledge of Mr. Willis's cook. They were both of them dressed, and just starting to drink tea at Burnham. I went upstairs and fetched my money, amounting to about a guinea. I asked her when she thought she should be able to return it again, as I was going to leave. I told her that I had beforetime lent money, and that I could never get it again. She said she had been serve d th e same. She said she had never been so insulted in her life, as she felt to be by that question, adding that she could easily send it me wherever I might be, by post, at the same time turning herself away from me, and saying, I will never speak a good word of you again. On the following Sunday week, in the afternoon, I was accompanying her as usual part of the way to Burnham Church, when I told her I would lend her either one or two sovereigns if sh e liked. She made little or no reply, but in the course of that week she twitted me several times with having re. fused her ; whereupon I begged her not to tell me of it again, promising to treat her with half-a-crown's worth of anything if she would not do so. She replied that she would not tell me of it again, but repeated that she would never speak a good word of me any more. On Monday, October 31, as we sat together at dinner, she began twitting me and all the farm labourers, and the master as well, with being a shabby lot, saying that she had heard the character of Burnham Abbey before ever she came there. I said, I know where you got all that from ; two women have been telling you that.' She denied it. I persisted that I knew. She got up from dinner, shook her head at me, and said, ' I meant to have told you, but I won't, and you shall never know.' The rest of that evening she would not speak to me nor sit with me, but went up-stairs. All that afternoon she was very angry with me. The next day it was worse— I mean, she was more angry all day. I was employed that day in cleaning the tin and copper ware, the silver plate, and at other in-door work. When I asked her for anything, she said I might get it from where I liked, or do what I liked, for she would not speak to me again. That evening again she would not speak to me, nor sit with me. She set my supper out, and afterwards went to Bunce's, and I went to my stable. Soon afterwards I suspected that something wrong was going on about me, between her and the Bunces, at Bunce's house; so I went with my shoes in my hand, and listened at Bunce's door, which was about a foot open. I heard them talking about me, and Bunce said, 'He's a very big eater, isn't he ?" Yes,' said she, 'he's a very big eater.' Well,' said Bunce, Mrs. Finch said he was a very big eater, but that he did not eat much bread, but I thought she was joking.' Sturgeon said, 'He's not a big bread eater, but he eats so much meat.' " Mrs. Bunce said, I am glad that he has got his master.' (Sturgeon had often before jeered me, and said that she was 'more of a man than I was.' She was a very haughty woman.) Leave him alone,' said Sturgeon, he's hanging himself every day. He'll soon do it. Leave him alone.' That throwed me at once. I was drove into an agony with it. To think that I had been work ing for her ; neglecting my own work all day ! How often had I favoured her and denied myself, and stayed at home while she went out, and now for me to hear this! It drove vengeance upon me to hear her running me down to all eternity. They were then about parting, when, to prevent being seen by them, I leaped over the palings, went into the stable, finished my work, and went indoors for my supper. Then to throw more mad ness upon me, instead of bringing me a pint of beer as usual, she brought me the pint half full. I could not eat my supper, but I drank my beer, and she asked me if I had had sufficient. I said have had sufficient.' Those were the last words I ever spoke to her. She looked so evil at me, and I was so throwed, that I hardly know— indeed, I did not know—where I was or what I did. I could not. Then she went into the larder. I then took the iron lard-beater, and stood at the door, thinking to strike her down as she returned, but I could not do it, and thinking to drive it out of my mind, I went out of doors. I wished I might hear my master returning home. Then I went in again. She again went into the lard-house. I again took up the lard-beater, and, on her return, I knocked her down in the passage. As she was very strong, she threw me over once, but she was no more than a child to me. She said, Don't, my good fellow !' I accidentally dropped the lard beater. I kicked her with vengeance. She screamed very loudly. We had a great struggle in the passage. I kicked her two or three times. It was in the dark, for her candle had fallen, and the light had been put out. I left her where the grease and blood and tooth and hair-pin were found, and I returned into the kitchen, I think, to fetch a light. She got up and ran up stairs. I followed her, and caught her at the bed-room door, and I threw her up in the passage. She screamed again. I kicked her two or three times. She cried, Lord have mercy on my soul !' I caught hold of her and pulled her into her bed-room ; struck her on the head with the poker two or three times, and broke the poker. I pushed her clothes against the grate, and they caught fire from the fire in the fire place. I left her room. Then I went to my own bed-room, and changed my trousers and shirt;and stock - bed room be nd looked caus howetheyw the were bloody. was going I went back and toh e tookbe d - m a down a dress that was hanging on a peg and threw it over her. Then I went to Mr. Goodwin's room to take away something for a blind, to make be lieve that some thief had been in the house. I wiped the lard beater on a dishcloth, and I burnt the bloody string by which it is usually hung. Then I cut my bloody shoes to pieces with one of Mr. Goodwin e razors. Then I bolted the passage door inside, and went out by the south front door, Then I went and hid, among the scrubs, the pieces of my shoes. I also hid, under the tree in the meadow, the articles taken from Mr. Goodwin's room. They are still under the tree, between the tree and the ditch. The tree is a withy pollard, about the second or third near the Chip penham footpath. I have never seen the latter since, but the former I removed from among the scrubs the next morning, and threw the soles into a shallow well, in the meadow, by the garden gate, and the upper leathers into the drain leading to it. They are there now. To go back to the Tuesday night :—After I had hidden the pieces of shoes in the scrubs, I went and hid my shirt in the pond, close to the house, treading it into the mud, and my trousers under the roof of the coal-pen. Then I went and lay down. Then the dogs began to bark. Then I called Bunce from my window —then he and I went round the premises as has been deposed. Mr. Goodwin returned home. About six o'clock on the Wednesday morning I went and removed my shirt from the pond, and my trousers from under the roof of the coal-pen, and I hid them in the ditch of the meadow. Then, too, it was that I cut the feet off my stockings, burnt the legs in the kitchen fire, and hid the feet under the tiles of the mud wall in the paddock, where they must now be. It was near the pond, and opposite the dove house. On Thursday morning I again removed nay s hi rt and trousers from the meadow ditch, and put them into a dry ditch, not far from the other, covering them with grass. On Thursday night I again removed them when I went out on horseback, and threw the trousers, torn in two parts, the one smaller part, torn from the back, over a quickset hedge, close to the river, between the two bridges, and the other larger part into the river— they had formerly been Mr. Goodwin's trousers, I took my shirt back home, and buried it in the floor of the middle stall of the stable, under the manger, where it must now be. The drawers which I wore at the time of the murder were bloody at the right knee ; but it escaped the notice of the constable, because the drawers fell down in a wrinkle when I was stripped. It was Symington who first gave me in charge to Webb. When I first struck Sturgeon, it must have been between nine and half -past nine o'clock. I did not break up the deal table in Sturgeon's bed-room , but it caught fire, and anyndwas burnt in two, and fell upon her. I never fallennapkins on o r the fl anything o o r from emuonader her. thed Theyressing might h ave . table. I think that if Bunce, or any good (strong) fvona)me an, had co me i n when she was scr eaming, at tacked l a i m. I t h oug ht of that at the I e time. Sometime in the l as t f or t n i g ht o f October Sturgeon threatened t o stab me if ever I mentioned a word about her—even h a lf a sentence—either to my mas ter or any one else. I said, Oh, but I should get out ot* •t ' Perhaps I might have thrown it would be of no use ; I should your way.' She replied, meet with you some time, and I would do . it my two dresses instead of one upon her ; but after the fi re had burnt through the floor it seemed to burn with a draught. I consider duty to uncover ray sin. do not hope for any gain in this world ; but I hope f or one in the next. "The above statement is true, and I have nothing },o add to it. "MOSES HA TTO.
