The Dauntless, 33, screw-frigate, Captain Ryder, is alongside the jetty at Portsmouth refitting ; she is reported as peremptorily required to be ready for sea again by Sa turday next. The Curacoa, 31, screw-frigate, Captain the Hon. G. F. Hastings, is fast progressing in her outfit at Portsmouth; she had her lower yards across yesterday, and her machi nery complete for trial. The Swallow, 8, screw-sloop, Commander Craufurd, is all ataunt in No. 7 dock in Portsmouth yard, and is fitting her running rigging. The Gladiator, 6, paddle-frigate, Captain Broke, went into Portsmouth harbour on Monday to repair a few defects. The Sphinx, 6, paddle-sloop, Captain A. P. E. Wilmot, is taking in a large supply of war stores in Portsmouth harbour for the Black Sea fleet, and will be ready to leave about Friday or Saturday next. The hired steam-transport Vifnedo has been laden from the Royal Clarence-yard, Gosport, with several hundred tons of provisions for the service of the British army in the East; and on Monday night she shipped from the same establishment 300 dozen of port wine of the first quality for the sick in the same expedition. The Clarence-yard is worked night and day, bit even this unprecedented press of labour fails to supply the wants of the service at home and abroad, and a large quantity of biscuits for the navy is being baked at a private establishment at Portsmouth for the Government. Mr. Davies, R.N., Master-Attend ant, and Mr. Pinhorn, storekeeper, of the Clarence Vic tualling Establishment, together with Captain-Superin tendent Courtenay, are indefatigable in their attention and supervision to get off the daily enormous shipments from their admirably-worked storehouses. VARNA. We are enabled to lay before our readers the " In structions" issued to our troops on leaving Varna. They are dated Sept. 3. INSTRUCTIONS. 1. The invasion of the Crimea having been determined upon the troops will embark in such ships as shall be pro vided .for their conveyance, which will rendezvous at Baldjik, and proceed with the combined fleets to their destination. 2. In an operation of so much difficulty it is essential that the arrangements made should be attentively con sidered and thoroughly understood by the officers who are responsible for their execution, and should be strictly car ried out without any alteration or the exercise of discre tion by any subordinate officer. Otherwise confusion would ensue, and the worst consequences might be appre hended.

When the troops are directed to land they are to enter the boats in the order in which they stand in the ranks. 4. They are to sit or stand, according as they may be desired, and when once placed are to remain perfectly still, as well as silent. 5. They are to take their knapsacks with them, but not on them, and on leaving the boats they will either put them on, or place them on the beach in the order in which they stand, according as they may be directed. 6. The blanket will, in the first instance, be left on board, folded, and labelled with the regimental number of each soldier. 7. The regiments will form in contiguous columns, at quarter distance. 8. They will not load until they have landed, and not then until they are ordered. 9. The spare ammunition (first reserve) will be disposed of as directed in the accompanying memorandum, and will be in charge of an officer of the field train department. 10. The horses provided for the service will be landed after the troops have disembarked. 11. Three days' bread and three days' salt meat, ready cooked, are to be carried by both officers and men, and the men will have their canteens filled with water. APPOINTMENTS. Lieuts. W. B.

Such were the questions that were asked-with no little anxiety-by those who watched over the public health during the last week ; and the answer, notwithstanding the losses that are recorded, is on the whole satisfactory. The deaths from all causes have fallen from 3,413 to 2,836 in the week. The deaths from cholera, instead of 2,050, are 1,549, -or- 501 less than the deaths from the same cause in the preceding week.

Its perusal is Particularly recommended to persons entertaining sec ret doubts of their physical condition, and who are commons of having hazarded the health, happlues3, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there are principles cf personal rnanagemant 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 consequences maybe 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. T heAuthor has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have unfortunately teen too generally confided to the care of ignorant emnirics, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place aith in their pretensions. :RVOUS DEBILITY may be had, price 2s, of Messrs.

Gazette' says :—Picking has commenced in some few grounds in the neighbourhood of Canterbury, and in all cases the produce has been short of expecta tion. In our next, as the operations of the picking will have become more general, we shall be able to give a more correct idea as to the growth. From the locality of Maidstone similar accounts are received. In every instance where picking has commenced, the hops come down very light and " uncommon brown." In s ome grounds picking has been suspended, the crop not being sufficiently ripe. From some districts in West Kent the crop falls very short from a half to a third, the planters wondering what has become of the hops. If it were not melancholy, it would be laughable, says a correspondent from West Farleigh, to find ten cwt. per acre dwindled down to three cwt. The quality is mouldy and bad, and very few samples will be clean and good. If the duty, says the same report, was fairly set before picking at 60,0001., we cannot call it 40,000/. as the hops come down. The picking will soon be over. It will be expensive to the planter, and not remunera tive to the picker. There are several large growers in the parish of Marden, of from 40 to 50 acres, who will not grow a ton on 40 acres of land, and those gardensare the best farmed. This parish will not average i cwt. per acre ; they are getting very full of the red mould, and by the time they are picked will not be larger than a pea. The duty since picking has commenced has somewhat receded, and betting is generally against 60,000/. WORCESTER.—The duty is estimated at 10,0001. for Worcester, meaning the hops grown in this county and in Herefordshire. The planters of the latter county, who have always hitherto sent their hops in waggons over the Malvern hills, &c., to 'Worcester market, have just resolved to establish a hop market at Hereford, and a hop fair is in future to be held at that city on the first Wednesday after the 19th of September. The first fair, however, is to be held on the 27th (Wednesday week.) The finest hop yard in the county belongs to a Mr. Smith, a famous grower, and is within two miles of Worcester. SYRIANS CONTRIBDTING TO SEND THS GOSPEL TO CHINA.—The congregations at Beirut are reported as at tentive and serious to a degree that makes it a pleasant a nd hopeful work to preach to them. One thousand piastres have been sent by them, to aid in furnishing the million of New Testaments for China. Dr. Smith, at the close of the year, had reached the 22d verse of the 18th chapter of the Acts in translating the New Testa went. The church at Hasbeiya has passed through many trials the past year, owing to the anarchy pre vailing in "this stronghold of outlaws," Mount Lebanon and in part to the dissensions between two of its mem. hers ; but harmony again prevails among themselves, and they are prepared to prosecute their work with froah :cal and Llcre,- 4 . o wellial of Minion.

Great activity prevails on board, in consequence of the anticipated removal of this ship out into the river, which will take place, we have every rea son to believe, next Friday or Saturday ; at least, that is the general opinion of all connected with her at present. Her tanks are being taken on board and stowed away in the forehold, together with a quantity of ballast, which, when completed and filled with water, no doubt will add very materially in bringing her more on an even keel, as she is now some four or five feet by the stern. Imme diately she goes out, we hear, she is to take a trial trip round the Nore, &c., proving the advanced state her ma chinery has arrived at. THE HANNIBAL. Hannibal, screw, Captain Grey (last from Brest, where she discharged her Russian prisoners), is lying at the same moorings she took abreast of the dockyard upon moving in. We understand that a telegraphic despatch was received on board yesterday morning, to send some of her brasses, con nected with the shaft immediately to Woolwich, to be re fitted. Same left for Chatham yesterday by steamer, and will be forwarded to the above place by rail. A number of engineers are employed from the yard, on board, toge ther with many hands from Woolwich, making good the defects of her machinery, and were employed all last San day. There is a rumour here that this ship will not now go into dock ; but in consequence of there being something very irregular in the guide-frames connected with lifting the screw, which would be impracticable to repair perma nently under water, we may, therefore, almost contradict that rumour, and say that on Thursday or Friday next she will be docked. THE VALOROUS. The Valorous, paddle, Captain Buckle (lately arrived from the Baltic), is still lying in the graving dock, Sheer- Lieu; repairs, however, are fast being completed, the gripe being now on and fastened together with the dead wood, and other damages of more trifling nature are com pleted. By Saturday evening next she will, no doubt, be out of the hands of the shipwrights; her machinery is in tolerably good order, we believe, with the exception of the paddle-wheels, which will be completed far better in dock; that, together with the rigging and many minor repairs, will be finished by next week, when the crew will have returned from their ten days' leave of absence. It is generally expected, when fit for sea, that this steamer will be despatched immediately for the Mediterranean. THE SCREW STEAM-SHIP PRINCE. The splendid screw steam-ship Prince, of 2,700 tons, one of the screw steam-ships which proceeded with French troops to the Baltic, arrived at the Royal Arsenal, Wool wich, yesterday afternoon, and made fast to the same moorings as the paddle-wheel steam-sloop Salamander. The Prince appeared to have a number of troops on board, and it is said she has come up to Woolwich in the first instance to discharge about 250 tons of shot and shell brought home from the Baltic. It is probable these shot and shell will be at once transferred to the Salamander for conveyance to Malta and the Black Sea, as it was un• derstood that the Salamander had come to the Royal Arsenal to take on board about 250 or 300 tons of shot and ' shell for service in the war in the East. MAIL FOR THE BLACK SEA. Her Majesty's ship Algiers, in addition to a large quan tity of heavy shot and shell, ammunition, &c., will take out GOO marines for service in the Black Sea fleet. STAFF OFFICERS' NEW DRESS. It is stated that the Queen has decided on the new dress of staff officers. Henceforward the staff officers, such as adjutant-generals, quartermaster -generals, &c., will wear a tunic of scarlet cloth, with lace of 4 Austrian knots on each side, with two behind. The inside will be lined with white silk. There will be novelty introduced into the dress, of a shoulder-chain, gilt. The changes will cause a great saving to the officers. It is said that the Hussar jacket, which, according to the old plan, cost 50 guineas, will now be but 15. The foot artillery, formerly costing 18 guineas, will now bo but 6 ; and the horse artillery, now costing 25 guineas , will be but 15. The uniform of the light cavalry, formerly costing 19 guineas, will, under the present arrangement, now cost but 13. The new in fantry coat, formerly costing 151., will now be about 8/. ; and the heavy dragoon dress, now costing 251., is reduced to the cost of about 6/. The aides-de-camp will also be under this reduced arrangement. Her Majesty's cruisers having towed the French ships and British transports, with the troops on board, return ing back to Franco out of the Baltic, returned to their cruising grounds immediately. In the Gulfs of Finland and Bothnia, a number of Dutch vessels sought to enter the blockaded ports; they were, however, speedily intercepted, and her Majesty's ship Archer sent one, the Minima, into Memel ; she is laden with hollands, cheese, and miscel laneous produce, and with her cargo will be sent home to England for condemnation. By advices received yesterday, under date Athens, Aug. 27, it appears a transport has been reported wrecked off the Greek coast at Poro ; she is supposed to be the missing transport Courier, bound from England. The provisional battalion at Chatham now numbers 2,382 rank and file, and recruits continue daily to arrive ; the number of men fit for the field at a moment's notice is 1,400. The second division of the 4th Middlesex Militia, Colo nel Begot, left Hounslow an yesterday for Portsmouth. The re giment is 600 strong,d has attained a high state of dies cipliue. The York Hussar Yeomanry Cavalry muster at York to-morrow, for seven days' training. The Cambridgeshire Militia, now out at Ely, completed their fourth week's training yesterday, having been in spected by the commanding officer of the district ; the re giment proceeds to Ireland. Several fresh militia regiments are to be embodied, con sequent on the removal of those sent to Ireland. A circular has been s.ddreased to the colonels of the Irish Militia, preparatory to the enrolling and training of that force. Thirty thousand are to be enrolled ; about 8,000 will be embodied next spring, and it is supposed that 15,000 will be called out for training this present autumn. TEI B/tOAD GAUGE.—On Friday, Viscount Barring ton, the Right lion. Spencer Walpole, and other directors of the Great Western Railway, accompanied by Mr. Brunel (their engineer), Mr. Sandars (their secretary), by the manager of thiir locomotives, and other officials, paid a business visit to Liverpool—having spent the previous day in inspecting the capabilities of Birkenhead. It is understood that their object is to procure local accommodation for their anticipated goods traffic, which, it is expected, will require a north as well as a south depot, if not a central station also. It is ru- ' moured that their new ally, the Shrewsbury Company, have resolved to put in force their running powers over the Chester and Birkenhead line—subject, of course, to the specified tolls—and that they threaten to run some dozen trains extra, daily, between Cheater and Birken :, hea,d,..-LiVOrPool Ltandaira. 15. Mounted officers alone will be entitled to batmen. 16. The medical staff attached to the divisions and bri gades will land with them. 17. The batteries will land with the divisions to which they are attached, as well as the Sappers similarly situated; and the latter will bring with them a due proportion of entrenching tools. 18. The Light Division will land first. Four companies of the 2d battalion Rifle Brigade will be attached to each of its brigades, and will form the advance. 19. The First Division will follow, then the second, the third, and the fourth. 20. The cavalry will be ready to land ; but will not dis embark until they receive special directions to do so. They will take with them three days' corn and forage. 21. Provision will be mai° by the naval authorities for the disembarkation of a due proportion of the horses of the officers of the staff, and these officers are recom mended to take upon their horses three days' corn and forage. THE ORDER OF LANDING. When the troops are in the boats they will form on the off-shore side of the ships from which they disembark, ready to form the line abreast, on the signal being made from the Agamemnon. The boats are to keep a space feet clear of the oars of each other ; care to be taken to observe the signals, that that "to form" may not be taken for "advance." All officers of boats will distinctly understand that they are to be on the look-out for orders and signals from their re spective commanding officers of their divisions, following each other, and never proceeding in execution of the signal until it be hauled down by the senior officer. • The form of advance will be in line, abreast, and the greatest care will be taken to preseiVir the huit, -that no boat advance beyond it, or fall int* the rear, but all will pull in to the shore stoutly sod steadily, preserving the strictest silence. All boats towed to laud on the port side of the boat towing them. The divisions, as in the general regulations, will be as follows, viz.:— First Division—All launches and Turkish pinnaces from the sailing ships of the fleet, commencing with Britannia's boats on the extreme right, and ending with the Diamond's troop boats, on the left of the division. Second Division —All paddle box boats of the war steamers towed by their own cutters, commencing with the Farious on the right of the division, and terminating with the Fury on the left. Third Division—All boats of the transport service, com mencing with the boats of the Emperor on the right of the division, and ending with the Gertrude on the left, excepting the ships Monarchy, No. G 0; Harkavvay, 39 ; Talavera, 98 ; Mary Ann, 12 ; Calliope, 42 ; Echunga, 44; which are not to send boats until they are cleared of their artillery that land with the light division ; after which their boats will proceed to the ships pointed out to them. The first division will take the right. The third division the centre. The second division on the left of the line. Britannia's first boat on the right, Diamond's the last boat on the left. The Emperor's boat next to Diamond's, the first boat on the right, and the Gertrude's, No. 51, the last boat on the left. The Furious the first boat on the right, next to Ger trude's, and the Fury's the last boat on the left.

Langham, the deputy. coroner for 'Westminster, held two inquests at the Mill ) Lsok-Penitentiv.h.g4 the bodies of two male convicts who fell victims to the fatil'epidemia;l% - 306fflirislic in that institution, where it has unfortunately re-ap peared after an abatement of some time, there having been scarcely a single fresh case of Asiatic cholera amongst the inmates of the prison since between 700 and 800 prisoners of the prisoners were removed to Dor chester at the latter end of last month. The first case was that of John Baldock, aged 35 years. _ _ _ Mr. John Gosling Paine, the resident surgeon, de posed that he received a special sick report of deceased at half-past five on Sunday morning last, and immedi ately ordered his removal to the infirmary, and saw him on his arrival. He gradually sank, and expired at twenty-five minutes past five on Monday afternoon, from Asiatic cholera. Coroner—Have you adopted the castor-oil mode of treatment in this prison ? Mr. Paine—Not in this case. It was resorted to in one case, but has not been generally adopted. Coroner--Is not this the first fatal case of cholera since the removal of the prisoners to Dorchester ? Mr. M'lntyre, the chiel clerk, produced the books, on reference to which be stated that, although six or eight deaths hid occurred since the removal, yet, with the ex ception of the two cases on Monday last, there had only been one fresh fatal case. Coroner—How many prisoners are there in the prison now MPaine—About there 400. C:: 10 n eranything in the cell where the deceased was confined that would predispose him to an attack ? Mr. Paine—l carefully examined the cell, but found it warm, dry, and well ventilated, and nothing that could be remedied. The Coroner said he was in hopes that the removal of the prisoners would have caused the withdrawal of this atal epidemic from the prison, but it bad re-appeared, hough he trusted not with the virulence of the last out break. Verdict, " That the deceased died from Asiatic cholera. The second case was that of John Crosswell, aged 35 years. As in the last case the unfortunate man was taken ill on Sunday mornine , with vomiting, purging and cramp, and notwithstandingi the exertions of the surgeon, the deceased sank and died at one o'clock on Monday morning from Asiatic cholera. Verdict, "That the deceased died from Asiatic cholera." KING'S COLLEGE HOSPITAL.--This morning no less than 12 cases of epidemic cholera are in this institution, and two deaths occurred. The others are going on favourably under the treatment of Dr. Johnston. ST. THOMAS'S HOSPITAL.—Up to 11 o'clock this morning four patients were admitted into this valuable institution—Henry English, James Barrett, Margaret M'Culloch, Caroline Barrett. Mr. Whitefield imme diately visited them, and found them suffering from all the symptoms of Asiatic cholera, and in a stage of col lapse. He prescribed the usual remedies in each case, but the two females died. CLOSING OF CHOLERA WARDS IN GUT'S HOSPITAL.— This morning, in consequence of the cholera wards of this institution being quite full, two in number, male and female, orders have been issued that no more can for the present be taken in, although it is greatly on the increase. Surely such a rich hospital as Guy's might afford to open another in such a case of necessity, which would be instantly done at any of the Royal city hospitals. ALL SAINT, POPLAR. —The trustees of this parish have appointed a committee to see that all the streets, courts, and alleys are kept thoroughly cleansed.
