PARENTS, &c., SHOULD READ THIS ADVERTISEMENT. /SHE juvenile vacation of the present Midsummer JIL has afforded L. HYAM a favourable opportunity of convincing a large and respectable class of purchasers that Dress for the Young of various ages is designed and made at 36, GRACECHURCH STREET, City, in the newest and best style. It is a familiar maxim, that paternal pride Is not only pardonable, but becoming, and it would appear that this sentiment is in lively existence, judging from the numbers who have brought their chil dren to L. Hymn's Establishment for attire, which displays novelty, juvenile fashion, neatness, and general superiority. L. Hymn's Dress for " the rising race " may be divided late three kinds, thus : DRESS FOR YOUNG CHILDREN. DRESS FOR ELDER BOYS. DRESS FOR SENIOR YOUTHS. The proprietor would intimate that in each of these classifications a distinct style is made strikingly apparent. A variety of new and beautiful materials have been brought out by L. Hyam, together with many novel fashions peculiar to the present season. With regard to the prices charged for these unique and excellent Garments and Suits, the proprietor would observe that the lowest figures (consistent with just remuneration) have been quoted by him, in order to render full satisfaction to the public. OBSERVE I—L. HYAM begs to state that he has no connexion with any similar establishment in London. 36, Gracechurch-street, City (established upwards of 15 years), Is the only place of busi ness carried on by L.

If it is remembered that the most gigantic -- and commodious Establishment ever maintained is thato Mons and SON, Aldgate and Minories, and that another caned Branch Branch of this commercial pile is occupying the most conspicuous position at the West End (New oxford street, Corner of Ti an _ street); and in Yorkshire, at Sheffield and Bradford, are two others of equal celebrity. Thousands on thousands are contributing t o these stores of magnificence and comfort ; and while the greatest benefits are derived by the pub'ic from cheap and elegant articles of tress, an advantage is possessed by thousands from the em ployment thus distributed amontist the people. If, therefore, E. Moses and Sox bad been inclined to indulge in amplification, it would have been difficult for them to express one-half the char acteristics of their unrivalled Business Establishments, where the most accomplished artists in the world are daily devising novel ties in Attire—where for each season the most appropriate mate rials and styles are associated—where every section in society is furnished with unparalleled articles of Dress to measure or ready made—where separate departments, each communicating, display the most extensive, novel, elegant, and superior stock of Caps, Hats. Hosiery, &c., and where a Wholesale Clothing Business is conducted which has for many years proved the most profitable means of in vestment to tradesmen, merchants, captains, and all classes of emi grants. At this time E. MOSES and Sort invite particular attention to their extraordinary preparations for the Summer Season, which Comprise novelties in every way excelling, and specially so in Juve nile Attire, to which the attention of the best artists and workman In the world has been distinctly directed. Whatever may be the benefits derived from reduced taxation, E. Moses and Sort are confi dent that the reductions they are making in the price of every de scription of Clothing will be the greatest of all advantages to the public. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against Imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like falsehood 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 WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155, 156, and 157, Minories, 83, 84, 85,'and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

THE LIVERPOOL NOMINATION. The nomination of candidates for the representation of Liverpool was held yesterday morning, in front of the Town-hall. The hustings were divided into three compartments, above which large boards told the spec tators that they were respectively for the Hon. H. T. Liddell and Mr. T. B. Horsfall—"Our Holy Religion, Ships, Colonies, and Commerce ;" Mr. Bramley Moore —" Townside ;" and Sir Erskine Perry—" Free-trade." Sir Erskine Perry represents the Liberal interest, Messrs. Liddell and Horsfall are put forward as the Tory candidates, Mr. Bramley Moore (the unsuccessful Conservative candidate for Hull) being nominated by a large body of independent Tories. Messrs. Liddell and Horsfall were accompanied to the hustings by a great procession. After the usual preliminaries, Mr. T. E. Moss proposed, and Mr. F. SHAND seconded, the Hon. H. T. Liddell as a fit and proper person to represent the borough in Parliament. Mr. E. MoLviiEux and Mr. J. A. TOBIN nominated Mr. T. B. Horsfall ; Sir E. Perry was nominated by Mr. E. EVANS and Mr. G. HOLT ; and Mr. B. Moore, by Mr. J. LOCKETT and Mr. J. LOGAN. The four candidates then addressed the electors. The Hon. H. T. LIDDELL, who was received with mingled cheers and groans, said, that he had given, at various meetings, frankly and openly, his opinions upon almost every subject. But the gentleman who had seconded the nomination of his friend Mr. Horsfall had alluded to two important topics which, hitherto, he (Mr. Liddell) had omitted to mention. Now, with regard to the former of these topics, he fairly confessed to them that he lOokeWforward, and with very good hopes, to the measures which her Majesty's Administration might bring forward, because he had received them from the noble Lord John Russell—from his own lips, both in the House of Commons and in many other assemblies —he had read it and had it from his own lips indeed, so many guarantees of attachment to our Protestant institutions —that he did not believe the noble lord would bring into, the House of Commons anything that was inconsistent with the views which he had expressed. (Cheers.) If the Protestantism of the noble lord came up to his expecta tion—(laughter, and shouts of " Your expectations !" " Oh, oh !" " Preserve us !") But if the measures were opposite to those principles which formed the principles of the great majority of the people of this town, he would raise his voice in opposition to such clauses, and do his best to render them unsuccessful. (Cheers.) Upon the other subject, of Parliamentary reform, he might say this—that we might look forward to two or three of the leading features in the new measure of electoral reform. One of those features might probably be an extension of the right of franchise to the British people. The right of franchise was now conferred by the test of property qualification. (Cries of "No, no," from the opposition.) He repeated—(" No, no, the freemen")—he was happy to be reminded that another class in the community pos sessed the right of voting, he meant the freemen of this great town and borough. Why did they possess the right ? Because of the Reform Bill of 1830. (Cheers, and cries of " Did you oppose it ?") While it existed it made a large accession to the popular franchise. In respect to the existing franchise, he believed it did not disfranchise any set of Englishmen. He trusted that the bill of 1854 might resemble that of 1830 in that re spect ; but if it should not be so, be it known to them all, that he for one would consent to nothing in the shape of a wholesale disfranchisement. (Hear, and groans, and cries of "You opposed the bill of 1830.") He would not say that the 10/. test was the best that could be devised. On that question he did not pretend to venture an opinion, but he should wait to see what the new Reform Bill was before he would give his con sent to it. He had said already that he would not sup port a bill for a wholesale disfranchisement, neither would he support any proposition for vote by ballot. (Groans.) Upon other points he would keep his mind open to con viction, and he would promise to give the Reform Bill, if it appeared, as favourable a consideration as he could. (Cheers.) But he ventured to say that it was extremely doubtful whether this was the proper time to engage t attention of this c oun t ry i n d iscuss i ons o f t hi s sort. . referred to the th rea t en i ng appearance in the East, the overcast h or i zon i n various parts of the wo (Hear.) He believed it would be better for this count if the Government wou ld t a k e such steps as to seen the generous support of the people, both in and out of the house, from the prosecution of such steps as might be for the national independence, and the national safety, than that the House of Commons should be at this time engaged in a question which he boldly said was not called for by the great mass of the people. (Hisses and laughter.) He had alluded to the dangers of the East, and the dangers of the peace of the uni verse being disturbed ; but even if these matters should pass off in negotiation, there were many subjects amply sufficient to engage the attention of the Legislature. (Laughter.) He referred next to the difficulties of the Colonial Government. (Hear.) The Colonial Govern ment extended now over nearly one-fifth of the habit able world. How could it be expected, then, that such an administration as that could long be conducted by the means of a single office in London. (Hear, hear.) Let them look nearer home. He pointed to the great continent of Australia, the returns from which showed the most unexampled progress ever witnessed. (A Voice—" Under free-trade !") He pointed to the do minions in South Africa ; to the extended continent of Africa; and, lastly, to the West Indies and the British possessions in South America. How could those coun tries be governed much longer in the way in which they were now governed ? It was beyond the power of the home Government to govern them. But he looked forward to the day when England would adopt the course which Spain had done for three centuries, in sending her best blood and her noblest sons to found monarchies in those regions. (Loud cheers and derisive laughter.) These were matters which it might do very well to laugh at ; but the time would come—and that, per haps, in the time of the present generation—when they would find it was no laughing matter. (Loud cries of " Horsfall ! Horsfall !" "Shut up.") These, then, were the great and glorious prospects which they had before them ' • because England—small spot as she w as on th e face of the globe—still, it was possible, might become parallel to the heart of the human body, sending forth her life-blood to every quarter of the globe, conveying life and vigour to the farthest corners of the earth. (Loud cheers and hisses.) Mr. T. B. HORSFALL, who was received with mingled applause and hisses, said, if it were their will that he should be returned as the representative of their opi nions, he should endeavour to benefit his native town and its inhabitants. If, on the other hand, it was their pleasure to select any of the other two candidates who had been presented to their notice, he should return again among them without the slightest feeling of dis appointment, but with a feeling and a desire to co-ope rate for the good of their great town. (Hear, hear.) The point at issue between them was, the religious or non-religious education of the people, and upon that, whether Sir Erskine Perry was to succeed, or whether he (Mr. Horsfall) was to succeed, he left in the hands of the electors, and God defend the right. (" Oh !" and counter-cries.) After these observations, he hoped it was not necessary for him to say anything on national education. Neither was it his intention to occupy their time in any lengthened discussion on the general com mercial state of the country. He was not going to ques tion this measure or that, but he would just refer to a measure which must very shortly come before Parlia ment. He alluded to the India Bill, upon which much had been said. He was not going to say whether the Government was right in the principles it maintained, ' nor was he going to give an opinion whether Lord Aberdeen was right in pushing the bill forward, or Lord Derby in wishing to restrain it. (Hear, hear.) In con sequence of his recent absence from home he really did not fully comprehend the details of the measure. (Laugh ter.) But this he did say, that he had the greatest con fidence in some of the members of the present Govern ment, and there were others in whom he had no confi dence at all ; but, if there was one member of the Ad ministration in whom he had no confidence at all, it was Sir Charles Wood. (Cheers.) He would tell them w hy, as a commercial man, he had no confidence in Sir Charles Wood. He waited, along with a depu tation, in the year 1847, from this town, to represent to her Majesty s Government, with Lord John Russell at its head, the distressed state of the commercial interest in this country. They had an interview with Lord John Russell and Sir Charles Wood. From Lord John Russell they received the greatest sympathy, and an expression of desire to promote the interest of the com mercial interests, and to relieve them of the burdens under which they were suffering. But with respect to Sir Charles Wood, he must say that he never saw a deputation meet with such a heartless and unfeeling re ception. (Hisses.) That was one of the reasons why he disliked a coalition, because it might include men whom he did like with men whom he did not like, with men in whom h e h a d no con fid ence whatever. (Hear, hear.) He knew that it might be expected he should say something on the budget of the Government ; and he should be exceedingly inconsistent, if, having advo cated with them the repeal of the tea duty and the re peal of the soap duty, he did not stand there honestly and express his belief that it was the best budget whick he had ever read. (Cries of " Ah, ah ! but it does not THE SPITHEAD FLEET. suit your side, though ;" the most marked silence pre vailing among the Conservative ranks.) Whether they liked it, or did not like it, he gave them on this, as on every topic, an expression of his honest convictions. (Cheers.) He would only say that, if he had the honour . . of being returned as the 'repi:esentative of this town in Parliament, they might depend upon this, that he would take every opportunity he could embrace to advocate the principles which he had advocated in that town ; and, without any unkindly feeling, he would do all he could to support those Protestant principles which he always espoused. (Cheers.) Sir E. PERRY then rose to address the electors amid a tornado of hootings, yells, and demoniac groans from the hirelings of the Tory party. He said —I stand here, gentlemen, as the only candidate on this hustings who is prepared to give an unflinching and most independent support to the Government, and I am prepared, on the present occasion, to arraign the Tory party, who are opposing me, with being ignorant of the first principles of government—of being wrong on every great question that has come before the public for the last hundred years. There is a great question now lion of this session— __ and the peace of Eng , prosperity of Liverpool more than any one subject that has been brought beforp the present session of Parliament. Gentlemen, the opposite party have not said one word upon it. They have not alluded to it, except by the statement of the gentleman who was formerly turned out for South Shields. It shows he is totally ignorant also. (Cheers, laughter, and groans.) Gentlemen, the greatest question of the present day af fecting the prosperity of Liverpool is the extension of our commerce to our British possessions in the East. (Cheers.) I want to ask those practical men opposite, those intelligent Tory merchants who claim to rule over the flags of the Exchange (laughter), in what mode (groans, interruptions, and cheers)—in what mode they propose to extend the commerce of Liverpool to Bombay and Calcutta ? There is a practical point for you. They have not thought upon the subject. They have not said a word about it. They don't know. I ask them now. (Renewed interruption.) Gentlemen, I see around me, no doubt, a great many shippers of cotton and woollens to India. Now, let me ask one question of the ablest man on the other side, whoever he may be, what is the reason you export so few woollens to India--what is the reason ? Will one of those practical men give me an answer ? (No answer.) No reply (asked Sir Erskine)? I will tell you a fact, gentlemen. There is no article of British manufactures that would be received more ac ceptably by the 150,000,000 in India as the woollens of Yorkshire and Scotland. Gentlemen, having stated to you a fact, I will now supply to you a piece of informa tion that the old Tories of Liverpool are not able to furnish. The way to make these 150,000,000 better consumers than they are at present is to apply the same sound principle to the Government that has made the working people of this country better con sumers also. Gentlemen, it is by applying good government to them, by making them more intelligent, by giving them better wages, and by enabling them to produce cotton in a much larger quantity than previ ously ; in fact, by elevating their condition in the scale of society we will make them what they are not at pre sent—equal to our brethren over on the other side in America, who are now, as you know, your best cus tomers. The great defect in the Indian government up to the present time is that which characterises all Tory institutions—a domination by a small sect for their own interests—(hear, hear, and cheering)—domination by the means of distributing loaves and fisherlb their ad. herents ; and the grand feature of the present measure is that it strips the Court of Directors of one-half of that unholy influence. Mr. R. IVEILSON, having obtained permission to put some questions to the hon. gentleman, said—l under stand Sir Erskine Perry to say that he would vote for the extension of the franchise to the whole of the intel ligent portion of the community. I wish to ask hint whether he will vote for the ballot ? Sir E. PERRY.—Mr. Mayor, I stand before the con stituency of Liverpool for the purpose of stating my opinions freely. One of my most deeply-rooted political opinions is, not to give any pledges whatever on any topics of the day. (Hisses, hootings, and groans.) But, Mr. Mayor, as I desire to state my opinions to the satis faction of that gentleman, and to the satisfaction of my own friends, I will tell you that I have no objection whatever to the ballot. (Enthusiastic cheering, and much laughter.) Mr. NEILSON.—Then, Mr. Mayor, I beg to ask— (A. voice—" Are you a burgess ?")—(interruption)—l beg to ask the hon. gentleman whether he is prepared to support any measure which may come before Parlia ment to deprive freemen of their right to vote for a member of Parliament. (Hear, hear.) Sir E. PERRY —Mr. Mayor, I have already stated that I am prepared to extend the franchise to all the intelligence in the kingdom. I don't know at the pre sent moment much about the intelligence of freemen in Liverpool. I shall know more about that after the election. (Much laughter.) I am quite sure that if they have intelligence enough to elect a proper candi date they will not have a warmer supporter in the coun try than myself. (Cheers and laughter.) Mr. NEmsoisr—That reply may satisfy the hon, gen tleman's own supporters. I understand him to say— (A voice, " Question r) This is the question. Is he prepared to vote for the grant to Maynooth Sir E. PERRY—Now, Mr. Mayor, we have got the proper question—will I or will I not vote for the con tinuance of the grant to Maynooth ? I have told you before that I will make no pledge on any public ques tion whatever. (Hisses and interruption.) But I will tell you what my opinion is. With the information that is before the public, my opinion is in favour of the continuance of that grant—(hisses and groans)—but as there is an inquiry for the purpose of ascertaining whe ther its continuance or repeal would be injurious to our constitutional liberty, I reserve my judgnient on the .ject until the result of that inquiry. (Great cheer ,...) The hon. gentleman then proceeded to delineate e beneficial effects of that liberal policy inaugurated ..y the Reform Bill, and announced his intenti on o f adhering to those principles of reform which he had always advocated. Mi'. MOORE then delivered a speech to the electors, after which a show of hands was taken, which was declared by the Mayor to be in favour of Mr. Horsfall and Sir E. Perry. A poll was demanded for Mr. Liddell and Mr. Moore, which was to take place today. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, JULY 7. A large concourse of visitors have frequented Ports mouth to-day, expecting to witness a review of the fleet by her Majesty. The company, principally excursionists, began to flock in about 11 o'clock, and by 1.2 a couple of thousand persons were added to the sight-seeing popu lation of the port. Excursion trains from London and other places brought in about 1,000, and the steam packets from Southampton, Lymington, and the Isle of Wight were overburdened with company ; but, alas! as we informed them two days ago, there was no move ment in the fleet to see. The noble ships lay in quiet dignity at their anchors, and their canvas re rnained close furled. Most of the ships, however, were inspected by the excursionists, which yielded them a large amount of satisfaction, and the water men who bore them a superabundant harvest. The weather was very fine, and the water like a lake, so as there was plenty to see, we doubt very much whe ther there was any deep feeling of disappointment at the absence of any movement in the fleet. To compen sate in some measure for this, there happened to be an inspection on Southsea Common of the Royal Marine Artillery, under the command of Lieut enan t-C o l one l Phillips, which drew the attention of the strangers from the more immediate objects of their visit. The evolu tions in gunnery performed by the Royal Marine Artil lery were executed with most finished alacrity. There was shell practice, too, from the ramparts of Southsea Castle and the gunboats of the Excellent, which contri buted their quota of noise and smoke to the general stock. The dockyard was honoured with marked at tention by a large party when they found there was not likely to be any review, and the day closed without any ebullition of popular disfavour. The Neptune, 120, Captain E. H. Scott, bent sails this morning, and is expected to go out to Spithead daily. The Duke of Wellington, 131, Captain Martin, C. 8., was swung to-day at Spithead for the adjustment of her compasses. She was visited this afternoon by Vice- Admiral Sir Charles Napier, K.C.8., and party, who went out in the Bee, steam-tender to the Excellent. The Fire Queen steam-yact, Master Commander Paul, went to Spithead this afternoon with a party of foreign officers to inspect some of the ships. Flag-Lieutenant Aplin was in attendance upon them. They had pre viously inspected the dockyard. The Arrogant, 46, Captain Fremantle, will be ready to go to Spithead to-morrow. The Oberon, 3, steam-vessel, has been dismasted and placed in ordinary. The Desperate, 8, screw corvette, Captain Chambers, was placed in the steam basin dock to-day to have her defects made good. The Comus, 14, Commander FeHowes, left Spithead this morning for Devonport to wait further orders. LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 8, 1853. ROYAL ACADEMY OF ARTS TRAFALGAR-SQUARE.

These unique, strange, and beautiful creatures, so unlike in form and feature to all other members of the human family, have pro duced the greatest interest amongst the savans of the metropolis, and are pronounced to be the greatest living wonders yet discovered, and to have no other alliance in species —traceable by comparative anatomy or otherwise—than to the ancient races whose portraitures aro found on the antique Sculptured Obelisks and Hieroglyphical Pictures brought from the ruins of NINEVEH, EGYPT, AND CENTRAL AMERICA.

Pre pared from Oriental herbs, with unusual care, transmitted to this country at great expense, this unique compound will he found to eradicate all tartar and concretions, impart a pearl-like whiteness to the enamelled surface, remove spots of incipient decay, render the gums firm and red, fix the teeth firmly in their sockets, and, from its aromatic influence, impart sweetness and purity to the breath. - It is important to observe, that when used early in life, it effectually pre vents all aches in the teeth and gums, effaces spots and discoloura tion, eradicates scurvy, and, in a word, soon realises the chief attri bute of health and beauty —a Fine Set of Pearly Teeth.

Yesterday a meeting of the general committee of the Royal National Institution for the preservation of Life from Shipwreck, was held at the offices, John-street, Adelphi. The Duke of Northumberland, K.G., Presi dent, in the chair. We also observed present Mr. Alderman Thompson, M.P., chairman ; Admiral Sir Thomas Herbert, M.P. ; Colonel Blanchard, R.E., C.B. ; Thomas Chapman, Esq., deputy chairman ; Cap tain Dames ; Captain Ellerby, R.N. ; Capt.

Mr. LEWIS, the Secretary, having read the minutes of the previous meeting, the Silver Medal of the In stitution was voted to Mr. Robert Sands, a black man, master of the wrecking schooner, "Oracle," in consideration of his noble exertions in saving, under Divine Providence, 160 lives from the emi grant ship, William and Mary, of Bath, bound from Liverpool to New Orleans, which was wrecked on the 2nd May last, off the Bahama Islands. It ap pears that these islands are surrounded by extensive coral reefs, situated at the mouth of the Gulf Stream, and are, during the winter months, the dread of mariners bound to and from New Orleans—no less than three emigrant vessels having been wrecked there during the past win ter. The ship, William and Mary, having been ob served by Sands to strike on one of these reefss, he im mediately bore down to her assistance, and found the poor emigrants using all their might to keep her afloat, and discovered that they had been cruelly deserted by the Captain and all the sailors, with the exception of two men, and who, to add to the horror and consternation of the unhappy people, had taken with them all the ship's boats. Seeing the ship rapidly sinking, Sands and his brave crew, who were like him, black men, without loss of time set to work at the pumps, while a portion oi the women and children were being embarked on board his own schooner. This having been done, he placed his vessel under the charge of his brother, giving direc tions to take her to the nearest land. Sands still re mained on board the sinking ship, his brother having just returned in time, in company with another vessel, to take off the remainder. Being unable any longer to keep the ship afloat by means of the pumps, she went down head foremost before them all, two men narrowly escaping with their lives by jumping into the schooner's boat. Had not Sands gallantly gone off in the first instance, without having the least knowledge of the inhuman conduct of the captain and his crew, 160 poor creatures must inevit ably have perished. Sands' heroic conduct was brought under the notice of the institution by Major D'Arcy, commandant of the troops on the islands; and as it ap pears that the operations of the society are limited to the coasts of the United Kingdom, an exception in this instance was made in favour of Sands, who not only deserves the warm approbation of the humane, but also a suitable acknowledgment from the British and Ameri can Governments. The silver medal of the institution was also voted to John Storr, a fisherman at Whitby, in appreciation of his frequent exertions, when able, to save life from wrecks. Story and his family were proverbial for their intrepidity. Some time since, when a sloop was seen on Whitby bar to be in circumstances of danger, Storr, undeterred by the sacrifice of a brother who had perished in going off to a wreck, immediately put off in an open boat to the assistance of her distressed crew. Sucb, however, was the violence of the storm, that he was dashed out of his boat, and had his leg severely fractured in two places, and narrowly escaped a watery grave. Several life-boats were reported to have been sent to their stations during the past month, but we regretted to observe that, in order to pay for them, a considerable portion of the small funded property of the institution was again ordered to be sold. The proceedings then closed. ACCIDENTS.—In the course of a few hours, on Tues day last, the sth instant, there was no less than five cases of accident taken to St. Mary's Hospital, Paddington. Between four and five o'clock, a man named John Gait, a smith on the Great Western Rail way, while looking at the entrance of the royal train into the station, on her Majesty's return from Virginia Water, was knocked down by another train, which went over both his legs. On being taken to the hospital it was found that he had suffered a compound comminuted fracture of the right leg, beside other injuries. The leg was amputated the same evening. --A man named Edward M‘George, who, while wrestling with another in a drunken squabble at Kenton-park, near Harrow, fell, and dislocated the ankle and fractured the fibula of his left leg, was also taken to that ho spital.—Shortly after wards a child was taken there, who, while swinging from the shafts of a heavy stone cart, pulled them down upon himself, and sustained severe contusions of the chest and abdomen in conse q u ence.—Subsequently, a woman named Harriet Watts was removed to the same hospital from the police-station, where she had been taken in a state of inebriety. From her own account, she had been pushed down, and it was found that she had sustained a fracture of both bones of her left leg.— Half an hour afterwards, the police took to that hospital a woman between 50 and 60 years of age, who had slipped down and fractured part of her left thigh. In addition to the above, cases of minor accidents were treated, and some urgent medical cases admitted under the care of the phykicianfj, THE ROYAL DOCKYARD BATTALION. The boat brigade of this force, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Davies (Master-Attendant of the Royal Clarence victualling-establishment, Gosport), went out for practice to the mouth of this harbour last even ing, about seven o'clock. They comprised five large gunboats, the leading one containing the Lieutenant- Colonel ; each carried the bergee of the battalion in the bow and the blue ensign at the stern. This armed flotilla, on lying to off the Platform Battery, formed line, broadside on, and commenced firing blank cartridge. The fire was very quick and smart, the shortness of the time occupied in charging and firing being very re markable. After expending their powder in several well-fired rounds, the boats formed in line longitudinally, and followed the Colonel of the brigade to another posi tion off the Queen's Ravelin, where they re-formed and returned to the harbour, their evolutions having drawn a large concourse of spectators to the walls.

MEDICAL ADVICE ON THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF YOUTH AND MATURITY. DR. SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh; honorary Meinber of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of .Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. MAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist once secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all 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 conaequenc 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 scien encannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and s the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is tree. In selecting thii department of practice, he has been amply rewarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated Publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflioted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions. At home for consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from Six till Eight. All letters must contain the fee of U., and advice and medicines can be forwarded to any initials or address. It b desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LA'MERT should first obtain a copy of his work on SELF - PRESERVATION. A Medical Treatise on the Philosophy of Marriage and Nervous and Generative Debility, illustrated by fifty-coloured engravings, and des cribing in detail the various disorders resulting from secret habits and excesses. The perusal of this treatise will assist in the correct description of their cases, and may be had, price 2s 6d, in English, french, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, or German, of Messrs.

U O -g THE CAMP AT OROBIIAM COMMON. Yesterday the troop; were turned out for private pa rade at half!palt.,raine cr-''cil•mk; and . afterwards marched out to take up a position in front of the encampment of the Rifle Brigade. The slopes of the hill were occupied by the 38th and 93d ; the Rifles and light companies of each of the other regiments in the brigade being engaged in skirmishing. The 42d, 50th, and 95th, being Gen. Fane's brigade, occupied a position to the left on an ad joining height. The cavalry were on the extreme right, and the artillery on the left. The troops having marched towards their position, found the enemy in their rear, instead of in the front as on former occasions, so that the grand army had to fight its way from rather than to the camp, as on previous days. On arriving on the ground assigned to them, the troops, finding the enemy in the rear, very natnrally changed their front, and com menced to drive them from their position towards the camp. There was a great number of spectators on the ground, among whom were a large number of visitors to Lord Seaton, upwards of 200 having been invited to luncheon with his lordship, and the band of the 93d Highlanders were in attendance on the occasion. As upon former occasions, the enemy, consisting of the 3d battalion of the Grenadiers and a company of the Sappers and Miners, was commanded by Prince Edward, and Colonel Vidars occupied a strong po sition on the ridges of the hills in Catlin's Valley. The enemy commenced the firing, which was re plied to by the artillery, and a splendid charge of the cavalry, and by a tremendous file firing, such as we do not remember yet to have heard on Chobham, by the whole of the infantry brigade drawn up in line. Before this tremendous fire the enemy very prudently thought fit to retire. While this was going oh, the cavalry deployed into two lines on the left of the in fantry, having the horse artillery on their right flank. The first line charged the enemy, and retired, leaving its front open for the second line to advance, which it did in brilliant style. The cavalry then fell back, sup ported by the skirmishers of the Caribineers and 13th Light Dragoons, and taking grounn to the left, re formed, left shoulder forward, for the purpose as it ap peared of turning the enemy's right flank. The Horse Artillery now played with tremendous effect on the ex treme right of the enemy, which fell back under the heavy fire to which it was exposed. The skirmishers of the Foot Guards now advanced on the enemy's left, sup ported by the columns of the advancing brigade. The enemy, however, still kept up a most determined fire, and the main body of the army fell back. The skirmishers were then called in, and the Guards proceeded to attack the enemy's left, supported by the light brigades in column, and flanked by the field batteries. The enemy at length fell back, firing and retiring. The artillery now opened on the enemy's centre, and the 93d Highlanders advanced in line. The whole of the infantry formed a splendid line and commenced file firing, supported by the field batteries, driving the enemy before them up to the commencement of the en campment of the brigade of Guards ; the cavalry in the meantime making a succession of brilliant charges, I and forming in contiguous columns in rear of the infantry. While the infantry were advancing on the retiring enemy, the cavalry were again ordered to the front, and deployed into two lines on the left of the infantry, from which position they charged, and finally dispersed the enemy. Thk movements of the day were watched with great interest ; and, from the nature of the ground on which the operations took place, they were easily traced by the spectators. Yesterday the brigade of Guards went through a series of interesting athletic games, under the com mittee of management, consisting of Col. Cartwright, Grenadier Guards ; Lieut.-Col. Steele, Coldstream Guards ; Col. Codrington, Coldstreams ; Col, Steele, Coldstreams ; Lieut. Moston, Scots Fusiliers ; and Capt. Stevenson, Scots Fusitiers. The progress of the games was watched with great interest by a very nu merous company of spectators, and the prizes were awarded yesterday, at half-past 5 o'clock, in front of the officers tents of the Scots Fusiliers. The following is a list of the various games, with the names of the successful competitors : GAMES OPEN TO THE BRIGADE OF GUARDS.

A race of 100 yards for drummers under sixteen years, handicap—First prize, Gittins, C.G. ; second, Eddison, G.G. ; third, Luff, G.G. The games concluded with a jingling match, open to all the battalions in the brigade, the honours of which were borne of by Private Massey, G.G. At the conclu sion of the games, Captain Tower, of the Coldstrearns, performed a feat of jumping which considerbly exceeded the greatest extent obtained by any of the successful competitors, the height of the jump being sft. bin. Yesterday Lord Seaton gave an entertainment at the lodge to upwards of 200 officers of the camp, the band of the 93d Highlanders being present on the occasion. It is intended to-day that the 93d (Sutherland) High landers hold their annual Highland games at the camp, under the patronage of Lieut.-Colonel Lorenzo Rothe, Captain J. A. Ewart, Lieut. W. D. M'Donald, and Lieut. J. Dalzell. With the exception of the foot steeple chase, the men allowed to compete at the games will be long only to the 42d Royal Highlanders, the Scots Fusi liers, and the 93d Highlanders. It was intended ori ginally to throw open the games to the whole camp, but the amount of time which would be required for the pur pose rendered it advisable to make the restrictions re ferred to. Lord Seaton is a liberal contributor to the prize fund, and there is no probability that the progress of the games will be interfered with by any more active military duty. The officers of the 93d are fully deter mined to keep up the famed hospitality of the regiment, and the whole of the officers in the camp have received invitations to be present at the games, and to partake of a luncheon, not merely of a substantial character, but of one which shall tax to the utmost the resources of the messman, and astonish those who have heretofore been believers in the barrenness of Chobham Common. The games will include—Throwing the hammer, putting the heavy ball, putting the light stone, tossing the cabar, Gille Callum and Highland fling, reel dancing, long jump (standing), long jump (running), high jump (running), high jump (standing), short foot race (100 yards), hurdle race (400 yards, five hurdles), long foot race (three-quarters of a mile), match at quoits (21 yards, competitors to choose their own quoits), sack racing (120 yards), cutting a bar of lead, foot race for lads under 16 years of age, wheelbarrow race (competitors blind fold), a second sack race, foot steeple chase (open to the whole camp). SWINDLING A CABMAN.—The Droit says :—" The police have just received information that a we ll-d resse d man has for some ti me pas t b ee n swindling cabmen and hackney-coachmen. Two of his recent exploits will show his system of acting :—He took a cab, and caused himself to be driven to one of the gates of the Luxem bourg. In about half an hour he came back, and asked the cabdriver if he could find room on the driving-seat for a case of valuable flowers. The man replied that he thought he could. The other then said he had not suffi cient money to pay for the case, and asked the driver to lend him 25f. until he arrived at his lodgings. The cab man complied, and the man then entered the garden as if to fetch the flowers, but never returned. A few days before he went in a cab to the church of St. Sulpice, and, after a few minutes' absence, asked the cabman for 15f., which he said he required to pay the masses for the re pose of the soul of his father. The money was given, and he walked off by another door.' t F ::~ i
