By SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D. 37, REDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Roc., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con s, quer.ccs 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 perusal is Particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of teir he physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the alth, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is ntitled. 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 remov all ed, and how the evil and its cerr: eque nces may be avoided, and above , that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. TheAutbor has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment di these delicate complaints, which have Unfortunately teen too generally confided to the care of ignorant empirics, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in their pretensions.

NATAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. The Royal Albert, 121, Captain Sir Thomas Pasley, Bart., arrived at Spithead yesterday morning from the Nore, from which station she made a satisfactory pas sage. She has fittings already completed for 750 men, and a large party of artificers went out to her at Spithead, immediately on her arrival, to complete fittings for more. Her lower deck guns are not mounted. The utmost expedition is being manifested in her fittings for the reception of the Guards she is destined to carry to the seat of war. Rear-Admiral Berkeley and Sir Baldwin Walker went out to her in the Vivid, and re mained some time inspecting and directing the necessary arrangements. Her patent trunk engines, by Penn and Son, are of first:rate character. They are nominally of 500-horse power, capable of being worked up to 1830- horse, with 181 b. steam-pressure, and making 69 revolu tions. No vibration has been at all perceptible, and her average, under all circumstances, may be quoted at 9i knots an hour with half-steam power, and under plain canvas she is good for 101—against the tide and wind she is always up to seven, and with a fair wind under steam alone she can make 11 ; we may reckon her as the second first-rate steam line-of-battle ship in the Bri tish service, the Duke being the first at the present mo ment. The Royal Albert has one foot more beam than the Duke, but some eight feet short of her length, and less draft of water—it is now 24.6 forward, and 27.4 aft ; her midsbip lower port sills being 6.8 from the water's edge. For power and appearance she certainly commands every attention ; her rig is all perfection, and does credit to her master ; her engine-room is most beau tifully arranged, and the temperature scarcely percep tible over that of a drawing-room. The Echo steam-tug went off with the troop fittings and a powerful body of dockyard joiners, who will re main on board until the accommodations are complete. She will carry upwards of 1,500 troops with comfort. Her Majesty is expected to arrive at Portsmouth at the end of the week, and will honour the noble ship with her presence. _ _ NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN - , that APPLICATION is in tended to ler made to Parlhiment in the next session for an Act for providing additional achommodation for traffic on or in connection with the existing quays on the river Liffey, in the city of Dublin, and the qua3s and piers of Kingstown and Howth, in the.county of Dublin, and the quays and pints at Holyhead, by the purchase or lease by agreement of lands, and the traction of buildings, sheds, and other conveniences adjoining to and in connection with Dublin and Kingstown and Howth and Holyhead Harbours, or any of them, and the quays and piers thereof; and to empower all or any of the Companies following (that is to say) : The London and North western, the Chester and Holyhead, the Great Southern and Western, the Midland Great Western Railway of Inland; the Dub lin and Kingstown, the Dublin and Drogheda, the Dublin and Bel fast Junction, and the Dundalk and Enniskillen Railway Companies, and the City of Dublin Steam-packet Company, and the.

At the Annual Meeting of this Company, August 31, 1854, the fol lowing Resolutions were passed unanimously :- Ist. That this meeting cordially agrees with the recommendation of the Directors, that 12% per cent. on their premiums be returned to the insurers. 2d. That this Meeting congratulates the public on the signal suc cess which has attended the formation of the British Empire Fire Assurance C. mpany on the mutual principle. That it views with approbation Ur^ steady and economical, yet diligent manner in which its business has been conducted; and calls upon all its numerous fellow-iusprers to co-operate zealously with the Directors in making known the merits and advantages of the Company.

It is believed that she will sail on Saturday or Sunday next for the Crimea. The army officers will mess in the admiral's cabin. She is short some 450 blue jackets, but which is expected to be made up by volunteers from the sailing ships at this port, and they will be allowed 48 hours' leave of ab sence. The Lizzard, paddle, arrived to-day in harbour, having accompanied the Royal Albert from Sheerness —or, rather, having followed her, for the Royal Albert soon left her hull down. The Prince Regent, 90, sailing ship, Captain Smith, has unloaded her magazines, and made preparations for coming into this harbour to be put out of commission. Her captain will be appointed to the Royal Clarence Victualling-yard, on the promotion of Captain Superin tendent Courtenay, expected to-night. The Calcutta, 84, Captain Stopford, which arrived at Falmouth on the 17th inst., and will be stationed there for the winter, is short of her complement a good many men, which they hope to procure on the influx of mer chant shipping by volunteering. It is supposed the Cal cutta will be joined by some other vessels at Falmouth, as that port has furnished, in proportion to its popula tion, a much larger contingent, for both navy and army on the present emergency than any other town or port in the United Kingdom. The batteries and other new works at St. Mawe's Castle, on the right-hand entrance of Fal mouth, are progressing rapidly, and those at Pendennis Point, on the left, will be soon commenced ; in the meantime the earth and stoneworks of the citadel are put in good order by contract masons, so that the artil lery in quarters are in practical efficiency. The Dauntless, 33, Captain Ryder, having had her crew made up by draughts from the Gorgon and Illus trious, received two companies of Royal Artillery, 134 strong each, on their arrival at Portsmouth yesterday from Woolwich. These invaluable auxiliaries were more enthusiastically cheered by the populace as they marched from the railway station to the dockyard than any other troops which have embarked at Portsmouth ; on their embarkation in the Dauntless that ship had steam up and all ready for weighing, but at dark she bad not left, and, as the night was very threatening, we think it probable she will not have gene until thiS day. The Salamander, 6, paddle steam-sloop; Commander B. P. Priest, was dismasted yesterday at Portsmouth, preparatory to being paid off on Thursday. It is ru moured that Commander Priest will be appointed to the Gorgon, having held the Salamander only a few weeks, and being a most active and popular officer: The gun-boat Snake, Lieutenant• Commander AMU lop, left Plymouth Sound on Sunday morning for the Black Sea. SPECIAL CRIMEA FUND.-ROYAL CALE DONIAN ASYLUM, Idol'oway, for Educating, Clothing, and Maintaining the Children of Scottish Sol+iers and Sailors and Marines wounded, disabled, or slain, in her Majesty's service.

Theodore Martin, E sq7,7o,l:Tew Palace Yard, Westminster. Messrs. G. and P. Anderson, Inverness, Interim Secretaries. The-present time seems to be peculiarly suitable for the establish ment of the proposed Line of Railway. The works upon the Inver ness and Nairn line have been commenced, and the contractors un• dertake that the line shall be open for traffic by the Ist of August next. On the other hand, the chain of Railway communication on the south is complete as far as the town of Huntly, and measures are understood to be in progress for extending the line northward from Huntly. In these circumstances, it has been thought desirable to apply to Parliament, in the ensuing session for the Incorporation of a Com pany for making a Railway from Nairn to Elgin, which shall com plete tho, communication between Inverness and Elgin. Tke com pany will thus be in a position to commence the necessary works next summer, and thereby, with the least possible delay, to place the 'fair 'and ancient province of Moray on such a footing, with regard to Railway communication, that the laying down of an ironway throughout its whole extent, from the Beauly to the Spey, and un interrupted connection with the Southern markets mast immediately follow. With this view, applications have been made to all the principal proprie , :ors along the line, who have, without exception, declared themselves favourable to the enterprise, and ready to afford facilities for its construction. The plans have been finished, minute estimates of the cost have been made, and the line has been gone over and examined by contractors of the highest respectability ; and the pro moters have no doubt that the works will be undertaken by them r a sum which, together with the purchase of land, rolling stock, erellininary expenses, and all other charges necessary for tke com pletion of the undertaking, will certainly not exceed 200,0001., or 8,000!. a mile, including bridges over the Nairn. Findhorn, and Lossie. For this sum the Company will be in possession of a single line of railway—double wherever this is necessary for its efficient working—and with bridges built and land purchased for a double line, And the promoters are in a position to state, that the contrac tors with whom they have been In communication will be prepared to take payment of one-third of the cost of the works in stock. The Engineering Works—from the level nature of• the country, and the light gravelly toll over which the line for the most part passes—are of a simple character, and are certain to ho completed witnin the specified time. Besides the large local traffic arising from the line passing through the ce-ntre of the richly cultivated and populous coi'nty of Moray. this Railway, when connected with the Great NOrth of Scotland Railway, now in progress of extension, will form part of the great through oommunication from Inverness by Aberdeen to the south. Trona the character of the country the line can never be exposed to railway competition. Through the Inverness and Nairn Railway—with the directors of which the promoters of this undertaking are in cordial co-operation' —the line will be enabled to communicate with the Caledonian Canal at Inverness, and thereby to establish a connection with the large and rapidly-increasing traffic flowing along that great artery of cora eausicati,•n to and from the counties of Banff, Moray, and Nairn. At its other extremity, tke line will communicate with the Elgin and Lossiemouth Railway, and the pert of Lossiemouth. Besides these, the Railway will receive the traffic of the several ports of Nairn, Findhorn, and Bun:head. Careful observations of the traffic, made in 1845, with a view to a Railway from Inverness to Elgin, showing a local revenue amply sufficient to yield a liberal return upon a railway of a much more expensive nature. Since that period, however, the wealth and traffic Of the district have been materially augmented, and are still rapidly increasing. Taking the basis of the observations of 1545, the result will be as follows : Estimated amount of revenue Deflect 40 per cent. for local 421 working expenses £12,600 0 0 Of interest on 60,0004 borrowed , ... 2,000 0 0 ...£10,600 0 0 Leaving.. For division, on a called-up capital of 150,0001., or a dividend of 7 per cent. immediately after the opening of the line, with the cer tainty of a large eventual increase. I The undertaking, therefore, presents these :Peculiar advantages:. It will be completed and sspened for working in two years from the passing of the act. 2. It will cost only 8,0001. a mile, for a single line, while the average cost of railways in Scotland, with a double line or rails, has been 30,0001. a mile. 8. While the average return per mile per annum, in Scotland, has been 2,1100/., a sum of only 8501. per mile per annum, on this line, will yield a dividend of 7 per cent. 4. The line, from its situation, secures in perpetuity the whole through railway traffic passing northward of Elgin from Aberdeen, and passing eastward of Nairn from the Western and Northern Highlands. 5. The line will be worked in connection with the Inverness and Nairn Railway, under efficient Parliamentary powers, whereby the facilities of transit will be on the one hand greatly increased, while on the ether hand the working ea. penses will be greatly economised. 6.; Lines of this character, constructed at a moderate cost, in the north of Scotland, have proved highly remunerative, as in stanced in the Lossiemouth and Deeside Railways, recently opened—both of which have returned dividends of 5 per cent. on the first year's traffic. '7. The promoters are justified in stating that payment of one third of the cost of the works will be taken in stock, as a guarantee for the due completion of the undertaking, and In evidence of the conviction of its soundness as a commer cial enterprise.

THE CREWS OF THE GORGON AND THE DiUNTLESS. The Gorgon, 6, paddle-frigate, Captain Cracroft, was ordered yesterday to send all her "blue-jackets" on board the Dauntless screw-frigate, at Spithead, to assist in manning the vessel, which proceeds this day for the Crimea with reinforcements of Royal Artillery. The order was received on board the Gorgon at ono o'clock on Monday, and a steam•tug was ordered alongside at half past two yesterday to take the ship's company out to the Dauntless. On this order being promulgated a little dissatisfaction manifested itself, owing to the short notice, and to the fact of nearly the whole of their clothes, &c., being on shore, and the desire of the crew not to be separated from their commander and officers. They murmured at the order and went aft on the gnar -1 ter-deck, declaiming, against what they thought the hardship, and asked why the Leopard's and Hecla's crews had not been drafted before them ; but when Captain Cracroft explained to them the peremptory mature of their country's demand for their services, and that the crews of the ships they had instanced had been a longer term is commission, and were absent on leave, consequently more equitably exempt than they were, they not only acquiesced in his views, but volunteered as one man to go when ordered ; and even the stokers, who were not required. volunteered to go too, and they all went ashore merrily together to get their baggage, and mustered again on board the Gorgon's hulk at the time fixed. The Comet steam-tug soon after went along side, and shipped them for the Dauntless. THE NEW LIVERPOOL BATTERY. The new battery, built to the front of the river, north west of the Huskisson dock, from design by Captain Westmacott, is ready for the reception of the guns and Ordnance stores. It has been contructed by Messrs. Arthur and George Holme, of Liverpool, the principal materials employed being Runcorn stone. It is a square building, occupying about 3,000 square yards, and having been erected in the castellated style of architecture, it presents from the land side a handsome and substantial appearance. The battery fronting the river is completed, and ready for the reception of ten 32-pounders, with which it is to be mounted. At either end, and also fac ing the river, is placed a tower of solid masonry, on each of which will be mounted a 68-pounder, so arranged as to sweep the river in every direction. The steps by which access is obtained to the guns are of Irish granite. The parade is a fine open area, almost square, enclosed by the various accessory buildings requisite, in connec tion with a defensible construction, entrance to which is obtained from the east side, by means of a drawbridge suspended in the usual manner over a deep ditch or arti ficial foss. On either side of the arched entrance are a series of apartments, to be used as quarters for the officers and men, a schoolroom, magazine, &c. These buildings are protected by a roof of great strength, co vered with Seyssel's asphalte, and made bomb-proof. The battery is capable of defence in every direction, facilities being provided for mounting guns on all sides. It is capable of holding a garrison of 500 men, and, as a protection against privateers, will be found to answer the purpose for which it has been constructed. Beyond that it would be but of little use. The chimney-pieces, shutters, racks for the guns and cutlasses, and, indeed, nearly all the fittings are of wrought iron. In the centre of the parade there will be two large tanks ; and a light ning conductor will be placed near the magazine, which is protected by a brick arch of great strength, made bomb-proof. Between the battery and the highway to Bootle a road has be en formed to which the a pp ro p riate nam e of "Battery-street' has been given. —Liverpool Albion. MILITARY. Cavan.—Thero is a stir here in recruiting. Nearly 30 were picked up in Cavan and the other late fairs by a eorjeant of the 18th Royal Irish Regiment, who has for some time been showing the colours in town. AVlAGll.—Recruiting is going on briskly in this locality, and considerable numbers a fine young men are obtained. We have similar reports from Kerry, Waterford, An trim, and Sligo. Cork Barracks now contains the depots of the 59th and 39th Regiments, and the first battalion of the 91st Regiment, the second battalion of which is serving at the Cape of Good Hope. A recruiting party from the 39th Regiment arrived in Clonmel last week. They have succeeded in picking up some smart lads. On Thursday last 11 were attested and sent to the depot. The 72d Regiment played up for recruits on Saturday through the streets of Limerick with a full band, drums, THE PROTECTOR OP CONSERVATIVE EUROPE. (From the Siecle.) We now know by the publication of a Russian manifesto that the Emperor Nicholas assumes the title of p ro t ector of Conservative E urope . T h i s false Tam er l ane, who only owes t h e aggrandise ment of his Empire to a succession of robberies , effected either by cunning ' er by arms ; this man, who h a d counted on the relative weakness of tie Turks to confiscate Constantinople for his benefit, now assumes the mask of an inspired Pontiff who has received from Heaven a civilising mission. The Communists, that is the French and English, hastened to protect the rights and territory of an independent nation ; as to hire who wished to take possession of tie States of the Sultan, he is the Conservative par excellence, the representative of the principle o f right and authority. This is the logic at St. Pe tersburg. Although the Czar has long since fami liarised us with the fits and starts of his policy, we never could have credited even from him such an excess of impudent subtlety. This Russian is a real Greek of the Lower Empire ; he would have occupied the first rank among the sophists of Byzantium. Con servative of the knout, protector of national degradation —such are his titles ; but this barbarian spoke the truth when he talked of the struggle of two principles. As we said two days age the duel is now between two ideas, between civilisation and barbarism, and we feel sure of success. The day on which the French and English placed their foot iu the Crimea, it was a revolution which entered with drums beating into the States of the Em peror of Russia. He will meet with it hereafter. ABERDEIN lINIVERSITIEL—At a meeting of the Es tablished Presbytery of Aberdeen, held on Thursday, Dr. Paul submitted a series of resolutions on the subject of the union of the universities, which were agreed to, only one member dissenting. By these resolutions, the Pres bytery undertook to give a favourable consideration to any well-matured plan for the union of the two univer sities, with a new and more extensive governing body, in which the graduates of those universities shall he fairly represented. The Presbytery expressed their strong disapprobation of the proposed union of King's and Marischal Colleges, as an unnec essary i nterference with chartered rights and testamentary deeds ; as unad visable in consequence of the increasing population of the country, and of the growing intelligence, desire for instruction, and prosperity of the people ; as creating-- in consequence of the additional numbers likely to at tend the classes of the United Colleges of Arts—great difficulties in the way of examination and discipline ; as placing obstacles in the way of changes whi c h m i g h t b e desirable in the one college, but which might be unsuit able to the circumstances of the students iu the other ; and as productive of great inconvenience to the inhabi tants of Aberdeen by an unnecessary suppression of Ithe 111arischal College of Arts, and the fixing of the seat of the united colleges at so great a distance from Aber deen.—North, British, Daily Mail. THE MILITIA. The Adjutant of the County of Edinburgh Militia (Captain Petley) has opened his enrolment at Dalkeith as head-quarters, and already such large numbers have volunteered, that it is expected, before the entire county is visited, the number of the regiment, 730 men (includ ing officers), will be completed. The Queen has ap pointed Lieut.-Colonel Geddes, late of the East India Company's Artillery Service, as Lieutenant-Colonel of the Edinburgh City Militia Artillery. An experienced staff is being organised, and the enrolment of the regi ment, which is to number 255 men (including officers), will take place without delay. NAVAL G PROMOTIONS T FOR THE EN ,4GEMENT IVITH HE SEBASTOPOL BATTERIRS. The following official announcement of promotions of officers engaged on the 17th ult, in the attack of the Sebastopol batteries will be read with the greatest in terest. ADMIRALTY, Nov. 21. The Lords of the Admiralty, in order to mark their approval of the gallant conduct displayed in the engage ment of the fleet, on the 17th of October, with the Rus sian batteries at Sebastopol, and of the skill and seaman like qualities shown on that occasion, have made the following promotions, dated the 13th inst.:— Commander A. F. Kynaston, of the Spiteful, and Commander H. D. Rogers of the Albion, to be captains. Lieut. W. G. Jones, of the Firebrand ; Lieut. Henry Lloyd, of the Triton ; Lieut. J. P. Luce, of the Lynx ; and Lieut. Win. Bowden, of the Arethusa, to be Com manders. N. G. Arquimbau, second master of the Triton, and E. C. Ball, second master of the Camden, to be Masters. J. F. Pritchard, assistant-surgoon of the Albion, to be surgeon. The Lords of the Admiralty have also been pleased to place a commission for the promotion of a lieutenant to be a commander at the disposal of Vice-Admiral Dundas and of Rear-Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons, re spectively. In addition to these promotions the board have directed commissions in blank to be transmitted to Vice-Admiral Dundas, to be filled up by the promotions of officers ac cording to the following directions : Provided that during the action the conduct of the officers to be selected was to the satisfaction of their several captains ; but otherwise to be filled up with the names of any officers of the rank most distinguished in action. The senior commander of the ships of the line on board during the action. The senior commander in command of a sloop en gaged. The four senior lieutenants actually engaged ; the eight senior mates, &c. The two senior assistant-surgeons en board and en gaged ; the three senior clerks actually engaged ; three chief engineers of the second and third class, provided they were actually engaged, will be advanced one grade each ; and three assistant engineers of each class will also be advanced one grade, provided they were in the action. The three senior gunners, boatswains, and carpenters, of the second class, will be advanced to the first class ; and the three seniors of the third class will be advanced to the second. The promotion of those officers selected by their lordships ' who have not served the required period at sea, or who may not hays passed their examinations, is contingent on their subsequently qualifying themselves according to existing regulations. The Royal Marines of the fleet having been employed at the time of the action with the besieging army, these naval promotions have necessarily been made without reference to that branch of the service, or to the nava) brigade similarly employed on shore. These promotions, it will be seen, include— Commanders to the rank of captain Lieutenants to the rank of commander Mates to the raak of lieutenant Second masters to the rank of master Assistant surgeons to the rank of surgeon.... Clerks to the rank of paymaster Chief engineers of second and third class advanced one _gractil e , ~.,. •.. 3 Assistant engineers advanced one grade - 3 Gunners, boatswains, and carpenters, from second to first class, three of each rank Ditto, from third to second, three each 9 Of the captains two have been promoted by their lord ships—namely, Commander A. F. Kynaston (1852), of the Spiteful, 6, paddle sloop, and Commander H. D. Rogers (1847), of the Albion. Captain Kynaston is, we believe, three officers excepted, the junior commander in the fleet, but, being the only commander whose name was mentioned in Admiral Dundo.s's dispatches, in which; it is said the Rodney " was got off by the great exertions of Commander Kynaston, of the Spiteful, whose crew and vessel were necessarily exposed in performing this service," the Admiralty could do no less than place this officer first on the list of promo tions, the commander of the Rodney, Captain Ran dolph, the second senior commander in the Black Sea fleet, having been promoted the day before yester day. Captain Kynaston entered the service in 1830, and was promoted by Sir George Seymour to the coin mend of the Devastation, 6, paddle-sloop, in the West Indies, in 1852. He was appointed to the Spiteful only in July last, so that he may be regarded as a fortunate although a long-service officer. Captain Randolph, of the Rodney, having been promoted as we have already stated, Commander Rogers came next in the list of seniority of the commanders of the Black Sea fleet, and here seniority and luck go together ; for Captain Lush ington, of the Albion, having been on service ashore as commander of the naval brigade, the commander (Cap tain Rogers) Lad the command of the Albion in the en gagement. As, such, although perhaps not the most brilliant officer on the station, the Admiralty have dealt most handsomely by him. - The other two commanders to be promoted, it will be seen, are to be the senior of the line-of battle ships and the senior of the sloop engaged. Looking over the list we find that the senior commander of the line-of battle ships is Captain J. J. B. E Freere, of the Belle rophon, Lord G. Paulet (Nov. 9, 1846), who is also the senior commander of the Black Sea fleet ; and next in seniority of the liners are Commander Burnett (1846), of the Queen, 116 ; C. J. F. Ewart, (1848), Trafalgar, 120 ; G. L. L. G. Bowyear (1851), of the Vengeance, 84 ; 0. Cumberland (1852), of the London, 92 ; H. S. Hillyar (1853), of the Agamemnon, 90, screw ; W. E. A. Gordon (1854), of the Sanspareil, 70, screw ; and G. 0. Willes (1854), of the Britannia. But of the sloops engaged, Commander Leopold Heath (1847), of the Niger, 15, screw, is the senior ; and the others next to him are Commander Spratt (1849), of the little Spitfire, paddle; Commander Powell (1851), of the Vesuvius, 6, paddle. Allowing, however, that the conduct of the seniors was satisfactory, the following will be the list of commanders promoted for the engage ment, to be captains : Commander Randolph (1846), Rodney, 90. Commander - Rogers (1847), Albion, 90. Commander Kynaston (1852), Spiteful, 6, paddle. Commander J. J. B. E. From (1846), Bellerophon, 'B. Commander L. G. Heath (1847), Niger, 15, screw. LIEUTENANTS TO BE COMMANDERS. Of the officers promoted, Lieutenant Heiry Lloyd, the commander of the Triton, 3, iron paddle vessel, who was very dangerously wounded by the fragment of a shell, was one of the seven lieutenants in the action ; W. Bowden, of the Arethusa, 50, was a lieutenant of 1847 ; H. Luce, of 1848, and commander of the Lynx, 4, screw dispatch-cruiser ; and W. G. Jones (1848), of the Fire brand. Thus two commanders of vessels and two senior lieutenants of frigates have been promoted. We believe the four seniors of the ships in the engagement, who are to be promoted, " provided," &e., are Sawley, Rolland, Kennedy, and Johnston, but we are uncertain whether they were serving ashore or afloat. The list of lieutenants, therefore, promoted and to be promoted, are the following : Henry Lloyd (1841), commander of Triton, 3, paddle. W. Bowden (1847), Arethusa, 50. H. Luce (1848), comman d er o f Lynx, 4, screw cruiser, W. G. Jones (1848), senior of the Firebran d, p addle. J. N. T. Sawley (1841), Bellerophon, 78. W. R. Rolland (1841), Agamemnon, 91, screw. J. J. Kennedy (1841), London, 90. Gabriel Johnson (1841), Spitfire, 3, padd d le. Eight mates are ordered to be promote de. but only two second masters have been made ma sters—the acting second master of the Caradoc is t a Tn on t g h e t heenlguaczkeym engagement. but the ship, we believe, w Mr. Arquiwbau, of the Tritoans, not s o also an acting second master. This short analysis of the above promotions will show that there is a spirit of fairness in the selection, which must be most gratifying to the nav y ; and so k ear as they limitedaerleceti to the small number of officers rewarded, th e selections must reflect credit upon Sir James Graham and his board. The distinguished captains, it will be remarked, re main to be rewarded, and it would appear as if the mas ters, the surgeons, the chief engineers, and the pay masters are left to share their rewards with the captains and admirals. The solitary assistant-surgeon promoted is Mr. Pritch ard (1850), of the Albion, 90, who, when Mr. Mason, the surgeon of that ship, was wounded in the engage ment, most creditably exerted himself to relieve the 70 men who were wounded in that ship. The promotions of a lieutenant each are given to the Commander-in-chief, Vice Admiral Dundas, and his su bordinate. The flag lieutenants are Mr. Macdonald (1151), to the Commander-in -chief, and Mr, Cowper Coles (1846), to Rear Admiral Sir E. Lyons. VICTORIA LONDON DOCK COMPANY. Yesterday an extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders in this company was held at the London TAvern, for the purpose of considering the propriety of leasing the undertaking to Messrs. Peto and Co., for a term of twenty-one years. Mr. J. P. Heywood, the chairman, presided. The report was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving that the report be received and adopted, stated that the directors had embodied in the report all the particulars pro and con. that they knew of the undertaking, but bad thought it best not to express any opinion either way, thus leaving to the shareholders the responsibility either of adopting or re jecting the agreement. Their dock, which would con tain a much larger water area, and had been constructed. at a much less cost than other dock companies, would, ho had no doubt, realise a handsome dividend. At the commencement of their undertaking they would have to encounter the great influence of the existing dock com panies ; a considerable time would no doubt be required to draw a paying business ; a sacrifice of immediate pro fit for the sake of eventual benefit would no doubt in the first years have to be submitted to ; and therefore he thought it would be for their benefit if they agreed to the preposition of Messrs. Peto, Betts, and Brassey, to lease their undertaking for twenty-one years, the lessees paying 5 per cent. upon the share capital paid up, and giving security to the extent of 150,0001. for the per formance of the covenants of the lease. The chairman concluded a very long speech by moving the adoption of the report. The motion, having been seconded, was carried. The CHAIRMAN then moved a resolution having for its object the ratification of the lease. Mr. RAISES CURRIE, M.P., in seconding the motion, was of opinion that they ought to act in a liberal spirit towards the lessees, arid, if needs be, extend the length of the lease. He thought that they ought also to con struct dry docks, which would be a source of great profit to them, for no port throughout the kingdom was so de ficient of dry deck accommodation as the port of London. Those docks could be constructed at a much cheaper rate now than when the water was let in. The CHAIRMAN, in answer to several proprietors, stated that the 150,0001. was only intended as a security for the interest, and not as a payment in case of non completion of the contract. With regard to the exten sion of the lease, he might at once state that the act of Parliament limited the time to twenty-one years. The subject of the commutation of the half profits had been under the consideration of the directors, and he would admit that, many of their shareholders having entered the undertaking for the sake of a solid investment for their money, it would be for their benefit if such could be carried into effect ; but the great difficulty which had been experienced in the matter was to fix the proper amount. In conclusion he remarked that the engineer, secretary, and dockmaster would be appointed by the company, which he thought would be a sufficient gua rantee that no works not absolutely necessary would be undertaken, and also that the accounts would be correct. The m, tion was then put and carried unanimously. A. vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the busi ness, and the proceedings, which were of a protracted character, terminated. THE OMNIBUS TRADE. DEPUTATION TO THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER. A deputation from the metropolitan stage carriage proprietors, c onsisting of Mr. John Wilson (Holloway,) Mr. 11. Edmonds (Paddington,) Mr. John Trevett (New road), Mr. James Costelow (Richmond Conveyance Company,) Mr. Alfred Cowan (Atlas Company), Mr. James Willing (Waterloo and Brixton), Mr. John Barber (Hackney), Mr. Douglas (Hammersmith), Mr. Elliott (King's Cross), Mr. Glover (Bow and Stratford), Mr. John Clark (Royal Blues, Pimlico), Mr. Cranfield (Caledonian, King's Cross), Mr. George Willan (Kings land), Mr. Laws (Paddington), Mr. Benton (Padding ton), Mr. Henry Gray, the chairman of the association, and Mr. J. E. Bradfield, secretary, had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on Monday afternoon, at his official residence in Downing-street. Mr. John Wood, chairman of the Board of Inland Revenue, was with the right honourable gentleman to receive the deputation. Mr. BRADFIELD read a memorial, stating "That the London trade has since November, 1851, to the present tinge been unprofitable, and that on the average each of the memorialists has paid for license per annum upwards of 1001., which has been taken out of his capital. That the sudden and unexpected rise in all articles consumed in the trade has materially aggravated the grievances of your memorialists, and it is utterly impossible for your memorialists or the trade to pay the mileage duty. That your memorialists cannot increase their fares to make up their losses, as the fares settled by act of Parliament for the regulations of cabs are a complete check to their doing so, besides the inability of the majority of parsons to pay any increased fares. That the revenue derived from the taxes on the London omnibuses suffered in 1853, and has alrealy suffered in this year, from the high rate of duty charged, anti that this duty must, in consequence of the imminent ruin of the trade, still continue considerably to decrease." . The memorial concluded by praying that the ease of the proprietors might be taken into consideration by the Government, and such relief granted as its extreme ur gency demanded, setting forth at the same time the seri 'oils consequences _which would result to the public, the memoriaditits, and to her Majesty's Gis . venuitient, if some relief were not afforded. • " Mr. BRADFIELD, as seceretary,' then entered at eon - * - length into the hardships of the trade, and said that in the northern district 15 coaches had, within the last month, been withdrawn ; in Glasgow 10 omnibuses had been removed ; in London 100 omnibuses had been taken from the streets. The town trade were working the remainder of the carriages at a loss, and further re ductions must be made unless some temporary relief were granted. The new cab act, in fixing sixpence per mile, had taken away many of the short omnibus riders, and was, as the memorial stated, an obstacle against raising the passengers' fares. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER inquired whether the case of the country proprietors differed from that of the town ? Mr. BRADFIELD stated that the country proprietors would doubtless pray that the relief, if granted, should extend to them. Mr. JOHN CLARK (proprietor of the Royal Blues, Pimlico) said that he carried the public for lower prices than the railways, charging only 4d. for a distance of 4i miles. He contended that such vehicles ought not to be taxed. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER inquired whether the proprietors could in general carry their passengers at Parliamentary fares. Mr. BRADFIELD said that if the proprietors were placed upon the same footing as the trains, they would carry the public at id. a mile, which would greatly be nefit the population. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that was not previously understood by him, but with reference to the qiestion of the composition he should wish to be sup plied with further information, as at present he did not think he could advise it. Mr. John "Wilson (Holloway), Mr. James Willing, and Mr. Cranfield, having made some remarks, the de- Iputation, who had been favoured with an interview of an hour, retired. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

Tax Enunis or BOSSIIIIT.—By the orders of the Bishop of Meaux, the leaden coffin, recently discovered, containing the mortal remains of Bossuet, was opened on the 14th inst. The head was found covered with four folds of linen, which was cut away with a pair of scis sors, and the features were then seen. They were much less changed than might have been expected, consider ing that the body has been buried a century and a half. The head was leaning a little to the right, like to that of a person asleep, and the left part of the face was in particular exceedingly well preserved, and at once re minded the lookers-on of Rigaud's portrait of the de ceased. The mouth was open, the eyes shut, the nose somewhat fallen in, the hair white, and the moustaches and imperial viable. The skull had been sawed across so as to allow the brain to be taken away, in order to let aromatic substances be placed in its stead. An artist, who was present, took a sketch of the face as it ap peared when tha coffin was opened.
