HANOVER SQUARE ROOMS. THE AZTEC LILLIPUTIANS, a New Race of people discovered in Central America, had the distinguished honour of appearing before her Majesty She Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, by Special Command, at Buckingham Palace, on Monday morning last, July 4, and were presented to h's Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, Princess Alice, and the other members of the Racial Faintly, the Prince and Princess of Prussia, the Prince Hohenlohe Langenburg, the Duke and Duchess of Saxe Coburg, the Countess of Mount Edgcumbe, the Hon. Miss Stanley, and the Hon. Miss Byng, &c. On MONDAY, July 11, and every Morning and Evening until further notice, these extraordinary Lilliputians will appear. The Aztecs are from the great and mysterious city of Ixtmaya, in Central America, described by those standard authorities—Humboldt, Pritchard, Prescott, and Stephens. _ _ . . _ These unique, strange, and beautiful creatures, so unlike in form and feature to all other members of the human family, are now creating the most intense interest amongst the principal members of the Royal College of Surgeons, the Royal Institution, and the Geographical and Ethnological Societies. After the most minute investigation, they have pronounced them to be unparalleled by any specimens yet discovered alive, and to have no other alliance in species—traceable by comparative anatomy or otherwise—than to the ancient races whose portraitures are found on the antique Sculp tured Obelisks and Hieroglyphical Pictures brought from the ruins of NINEVEH, EGYPT, AND CENTRAL AMERICA.

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 Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. • M.Y A 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 cnce 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 Unfruitild 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 bow the evil and its consequent 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 aacannot 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 this department of practice, he has been amply reuarded 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 inflicted 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 mast contain the fee of if., and advice and medicines can be forwarded to any initials or address. It in desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LA'MEMT 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.

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD "Pr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first t me, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his tower to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851. "We promised in a former number that we should recur to this war:c, in order to exhibit its aim more clearly. The author lashes with great severity the impostors who make a livelihood by preying on the credulity of the public. The tribe of ` Quiet Symathisers,' and ' Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book could find its way into the hands of those who suffer from th com plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hindreds would be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize— much money.-- This volume is well qualified to put an end to the empirical system of treating Spermatorrbcea, and to place the treat mnnt upon a more rational and physiological basis.

The duty on advertising has not been so much a tax on newspapers as on businessmen and servants communicating with the put•lic by means of advertisements. It will be obvious to every observer that E. MosEs and SON have adopted this means of in tercourse with their friends and the public to a larger extent than any other Business Establishment; yet they have never been able fully to express the facilities they have In the Tailoring, Cloth ing, Hatting, Hosiery, Boot and Shoe Making, and General Out fitting Business for Ladies, Gentlemen, and Children. To have done so would have required space not less than half that of an street); and 1 ordinary newspaper, or would have occupied the pages of any supplement published.

Newmarket, Tuesday night. Garrulity.... Bridesmaid . John Dory.. E4] _ , _ • NEWS FROMO(WMARKET. The July Meeti ng pr ises to be unprecedent e dl y dull ni and unteresting. To-day the proceedings were marked by no incident of sufficient importance to rouse the " Ring" into activity. The absence of Ruby and , the insignificant field weakened the attraction which once centred in the July Stakes. Only three events "stood," the first race being at a quarter past three, and the last at a quarter past four ! Indeed the paucity of sport deterred many intending visitors from znaking a journey to head-quarters. Even the "Leviathan" changed his mind after he arrived at the Shoreditch station this morning, in order to proceed to Newmarket. He then suddenly resolved to go to Worcester, where there was at least a satisfactory promise of sport. He • endeavoured to persuade others to accompany him, but was unsuccessful, and departed alone, post haste, to catch the 9.30 a.m. express train. Scarcely 20 metropolitan speculators were present on the heath, and there was even a marked diminution in the attendance of the customary through-thick -and thin supporters of Newmarket. The racing requires little observation. The proceedings commenced with a Handicap Plate, for which Cheddar was the favourite. He was, however, beaten by Petrel, after a very fine race. Indeed, at the winning post, the four competitors might have been covered with an ordinary sized blanket. Prior to the race, much delay occurred, before Petrel's number was placed on the telegraph board, Charlton, who had been engaged to ride him, not arriving at the weighing stand, until within a very few minutes of the time appointed for the start. The defeat of Cheddar somewhat discouraged the backers of Astolfo, and evidently shook their confidence. The result of the July Stakes was a sore disappointment. Astolfo ran in front until breasting the hill, when he was beaten, and from the wide manner in which be " finished," I am inclined to believe that his disposition is somewhat currish. Marsyas won cleverly by a neck the same distance, separating Astolfo from Mirabeau. Calliope was last. Her running was regarded with some suspicion ; in my opinion it afforded no trustworthy criterion of her racing ability. Indeed I was informed that during the morning something had happened to her, but I was unable to ascertain whether this report was founded on truth. The moderate quality of the field ' for the July Stakes admits of no The result of the , 4. , . • the son'tZtest or the - formation 1. - in 270.8ua- on Monday. I - then cautioned - my readers not to place implicit con- • • • - fidence in rum ours , an d stated that Astolfo ' s reported favourable trial was "regarded in certain well-informed quarters with suspicion," and that at Newmarket it was " entirely diScredited." I also stated that " since Mar syas ran at Stockbridge he had gradually advanced into much favour, and that many shrewed judges deemed his chance of carrying off the July Stakes by no means insignificant !" Nothing has occurred to induce me to alter my °pi ' nion on the probable issue of the Chesterfield. I expect either Brother to Mountain Deer or Lady Audrey to win. The field is likely to be numerically strong. Much interest and curiosity is being excited at New market by an announcement that a portion of the furni ture and other property belonging to Mr. James Robinson, the jockey, arc to be sold by auction on Friday next. Among the lots to be disposed of are several valuable paintings by Mireland and Herring. Mr. Robinson is now a confirmed cripple, having frac tured his thigh by falling from his horse in the early part of last season. He has commenced business as a trainer, and the success and popularity which are likely to attend him in his new capacity will be commensurate with the deservedly high character which he has enjoyed for so many years. On inquiry I find that Ninnyhammer's death was caused by the adhesion of the liver to the side. Eatwell, the jockey met with a very severe accident whilst riding at Dymchurch on Monday. A FRESH MAN.

DETERMINED SUICIDE AT ROTHESAY.— On Wednes day, a labouring man, named Pike or Pink, c omm i tted suicide under extraordinary circumstances in one of the cells of the prison of Rothesay. The d eceased, who was addicted to habits of intemperance, had occasioned some disturbance on the streets of the town on the night previous, in consequence of whi c h h e had been ap prehended and placed in confinement on the morning of Wednesday. In the course of an hour or so after he had been locked up, one of the officials entered the cell, when he was horrified to find the prisoner lying, or rather half sitting, on the floor of the apartment, with his neck clotch tightly twisted round his neck, and apparently quite dead. The alarm was immediately given, and Dr. Maclachlan was called in without delay, but on his arri val, although the body was still warm, he found that life was en tirelyextinct. The unfortunate man had first fastened his neckerchief round his throat, in a kind of loop or noose and having then inserted his boot into the other end of it, had actually garotted himself by twisting it round until strangulation took place. His hand still grasped the boot, which had acted as a kind of lever, to serve his fatal purpose, when he was discovered. The deceased, who has only been a brief time resident in Rothesay, has left a widow to lament his untimely end.—Glasgow Post. THE CHOLERA.---At St. Petersburg, on the morning of the 22d ult. there were 438 c h o l era pat i ents under treatment.

The Black Eagle Admiralty steam-yacht, Master Commander Petley, arrived in this harbour this morning from Woolwich, from which it is augured some portion of the board are about paying a visit here. The Cyclops steam transport landed the machinery for the Princess Royal, screw, 91, this morning, and sailed subsequently for Woolwich. The Sealark, 8, sailing brig, has brought down from "ordinary" this morning and docked for repairs. Her Majesty's yacht Fairy, Master Commander Welch, having been re-embellished, was undocked to day ready for the Royal service. There has been of late some talk of a visit to the Spithead fleet by the Queen and Prince Albert, but we cannot trace the rumour to any authentic source. The Lucifer steam-vessel arrived in harbour this morning from the eastward. The American Congress line of packet ship arrived at Spithead this morning from the Thames, and sailed for New York ; and the Margaret Evans, from New York, passed the Isle of Wight this morning, and landed passengers by the pilot boat Mary, of Cowes. There aro no movements in the fleet to-day. The weather continues rough and wind high. SHEERNESS, JULY 4. The Cuckoo paddle-wheel steam-vessel, in command of Commander Jenner, of the Horatio, left here at 8.45 a.m. this day for the east coast of England and for Scot land to enter volunteers for the navy. The Tribune, 36, Captain the Hon. S. T. Carnegie.— Yesterday (Sunday) after the new regulation for con tinuous service of seamen in the navy had been explained to the ship's company, most of the seamen came aft and gave in their names as volunteers for 10 years, expressing themselves in most cheerful terms the satisfaction they felt in doing so under the new regulations. She will be taken into the basin to complete her fitment to morrow. WOOLWICH, JULY 5. APPOINTMENT. Midshipman E. F. Kirby, to the Vesuvius steam-sloop, at Portsmouth. The Simoom, steam troop-ship, Captain Henry Smith, having, in addition to her other stores taken in at Green hithe, received a number of large pieces of mahogany for conveyance to Malta, was reported ready for sea yester day, and one of the Government pilots went down in the afternoon to navigate her through the Downs, DEATH OF ADMIRAL SIR CHARLES BULLEN, G.C.8., G.C.H.—We regret to announce the death of one of the most venerable and most distinguished officers of the navy, Admiral of the Blue Sir Charles Bullen.

( From the Timm) The returns of the quarter's revenue, after all the ex planation that take from their really surprising charac ter, we still think the most favourable that we have had for many years. In the Customs of the quarter we have an increase to the amount of 441,1731., mainly owing to the increased consumption of foreign articles, as may be seen by the monthly trade returns. Some of the in crease, indeed, is owing to the increased entry of tea for home consumption, after the suspense of the pre vious quarter ; but, with regard to other articles, the suspense still continues, and but for it the improvement in the Customs would be still more remarkable. The Excise shows an increase of 352,1011., notwith standing the abolition of the duty on soap, the anticipation of which has led to a clearance of stocks. The sale of stamps is once more dis turbed by the prospect of remissions, but they never theless show an increase of 48,3221. Taxes and the Property-tax exhibit no material change ; the former, an increase of 6,7761. ; the latter, a decrease of 3,9641. ; the Post-office returns, 21,0001. increase; the Crown Lands, 140,888/. ; while, under the last head of " Miscellaneous," we find 111,652/. decrease, owing to the extraordinary amount of that head in this quarter last year. The above items constitute the ordinary revenue, and on summing them up we find that the total increase on the quarter is no less than 894,6441. On our taking into account imprest and other monies, increased by 44,0711., and repayment of advances, in creased to the very gratifying extent of 111,6521., upon a large increase last year, it results that the total im provement of the quarter's revenue is no less than 1,146,636/. The comparison of the year with that before ie of less consequence, inasmuch as it is the result of figures already given to the public. But, as few readers carry these figures, or any approximation to them, in their heads, the results will be not only information, but even a surprise. In the customs, owing chiefly to the sus pended entries of tea and other articles promised a reduc tion of duty, there is a decrease of 57,4121. ; on the other hand, the year's excise shows an increase of 531,1951. ; stamps, 474,487/. ; taxes, 51,345/. ; pro perty tax, 225,169/. ; Post-office, 25,000/. ; and crown lands, 172,888/. ; while, under miscellaneous items we have a decrease of 143,0861. Thus the ordi nary revenue of the year is greater than that of the previous year by 1,279,5861; and, when the extraordi nary sources of revenue are taken into account, it ap pears that the total increase is no less than 1,922,9541. —a fact so great and so pleasant as to dispense with explanations or recommendations, and to speak for it self alike to the dull and the sceptical. Such is the condition of the revenue in a nation which has now for twelve years been engaged in reducing the public burdens that seem to press more especially on the industry of the people and the growth of the national resources. There cannot be a better commendation of the principles on which our finances have been ad ministered during that period. No other people in the world, however free, however enlightened, can show a like result. There are people who are governed by themselves in the purest forms of delegation that human ingenuity can devise ; there are nations which, within a few years, have over and over again selected their own rulers from their old dynasties—from their philosophers —from their armies—from themselves—from strangers ; there are countless millions under the paternal govern ment of despotisms, where no class, no rank, dare to raise its voice against the promptings of Imperial bene volence ; but neither in these nor in any other form of government can an instance be found of a nation, la bouring under such unparalleled burdens, quietly, deli berately, and perseveringly removing those burdens, ounce by ounce, from the shoulders of the working man to those of every wealthier class, and taxing even the brains of the author to save the sinews of the labourer. Nor can any other nation, for these many years, point to a revenue which, in the face of continual reduction and disturbance, yields in one year nearly two millions more than it did the year before. Another reflection forces itself upon us rather pain fully, on looking at these otherwise gratifying returns. We should be the last to place, as the old satirist says, post nummus virtus, and to look for a code of morals in the balance-sheet of the revenue ; but the thought of such painful and such successful economy of the public resources may well make us careful how we throw it all away on a miserable quarrel. We meet people every day talking of war as if a circle of fire round the whole continent of Europe, from the Baltic to the Bleck Sea, was as trifling an affair as the passage of a bridge on Virginia Water, or any other bloodless deed of arms done on Chobham-common. At all events, let us not rush into war with a positive zest for that worst of amusements, that most ruinous of all gambling, that most demoralizing of all excite ments, that most debasing of all intoxications. There are miserable necessities that we approach, as it were, in sackcloth and ashes, with grievous pain and dark pre sentiment. War assuredly should be one of them. Once so engaged, we should find —and it would be the least wretched consequence—that our millions saved by judi cious economy and financial wisdom were as drops in the ocean of a bottomless expense. We should have to meet expenditure on all sides with fresh taxes and a declining revenue, while our only consolation would be that we suffered in purse what others were suffering in blood, in alarm, in the capture of their cities, in the de vastation of their fields. Honour, indeed, as we said before, is a first necessity of States, and to be bought with our life's blood ; much more with our substance and our store. But counting the cost may serve to mo derate the impetus of some warlike dispositions, and in duce them to weigh beforehand what they may repent of too late. We have given them a text to start from. Would it be a trifling affair to pass at once from a revenue increasing by millions annually to a state, which some of us still remember, when the nation could only keep itself afloat by the addition of thirty or forty mil lions in one year to the National Debt ? THE POLICE STRIKE AT MANCHESTER.---A number of mill hands on strike took advantage of the disorganised state of the police force on Monday night to commence a riot at Messrs. Turnbull's cotton mill, Manchester, but a sufficient force was got together to disperse them, after some windows had been broken. A meeting of shopkeepers took place to remonstrate with the autho rities on the same evening for resisting the demands of the police, while the feeling among the operatives was in its present uneasy state. Under these circumstances the Watch Committee came to a resolution to advance the wages of the constables 2s. per week. About 238 out of 378 had resigned, and the authorities, in making the advance, acknowledged themselves to be influenced by the public feeling in favour of the men, and by the fears arising out of the uneasiness which has resulted from anticipations of a more general strike among the factory operatives. A considerable number of mills are already on strike, as also are the hands of Messrs. Fair bairn, the machine makers. CORNWALL.—There is a vacancy in the representation of the western division of this county, consequent upon the death of E. W. W. Pendarves, Esq. It is confi dently stated that, in compliance with the wishes of a large portion of the constituency, Mr. Michael Williams, a gentleman extensively connected with the mining and trading interests of the county, and a decided Liberal, will offer himself as a candidate. RAPID SAILING.—The brig Dromo, Captain William Derecourt, has just arrived in the London Docks from Africa, having completed four entire voyages from Lon don to Cape Coast Castle and home again in the short space of 26,4 months, in which period is included the loading and discharging eight full cargoes, trading on the coast, lying in harbour, and repairing in dry dock ; being the four quickest passages ever accomplished by a sailing vessel.

Pontooning at Virginia-water sounds oddly enough, for Virginia-water, as everybody knows, is an artificial lake in Windsor-park, and bringing " grim -visaged war" so near the chief country seat of Royalty rather startles our notions with respect to the locality. The embower ing woods, the lake itself, and the architectural conceits with which the taste of George IV. embellished it, never looked more luxuriously peaceful than they did yester day, when Lord Seaton and the division under his com mand invaded its repose. A warlike demonstration in such a scene might have furnished the theme for endless sentimental homilies, and even the swans that floated about so gracefully amid all the martial pother appeared fully alive to the contrasts which the situation presented. They arched their proud necks and looked quite envious of the rival attractions brought forward on the occasion ; nor are we quite prepared to say that they had not the best of it, for Virginia-water cannot readily change its character, and to imagine it the theatre of a military display is to border very closely upon the exigencies of the stage. Nevertheless, it is a fact that Lord Seaton, at half past 9 o'clock yesterday morning, marched 8,000 men to Virginia-water. The brigades forming the division advanced b . y diffe ren t rou t es. Th e cava l ry went b y Wel lington-bridge, the Guards by Bridge-wood, Fane's brigade, with the rifle corps as its advanced guard, through Portnal-park, the three batteries of artillery by Shrubs-hill, and Sir De Lacy Evans's brigade, with the Horse Artillery and one squadron of cavalry, by Broom hill. With bands playing, they all marched merrily along, and, for a wonder, the weather favoured them. Fifteen rounds of ammunition had been served out to each man, and he carried with him also his canteen, and his dinner ready cooked. The plan of operations which, thus provided, the troops had to go through, is easily described. On the north side of Virginia-water an enemy was supposed to have established itself in force. The water is crossed at its west end by Blacknest bridge, and to that point Sir De Lacy Evans's bri gade was directed. What more natural than that the enemy, trembling at the approach' of so renowned a general, should rush' to the defence of the bridge, and concentrate all its efforts and attention thereon ? Accordingly, actual hostilities commenced in that direction. The different regiments of the brigade threw out skirmishers, and the Horse Artillery opened a tre mendous cannonade, the smoke of which rising through the thick foliage of the park had a very fine effect. What deeds of daring were performed in this attack upon Blacknest-bridge, it is impossible for us to tell, for Vir ginia-water is so enclosed by trees that to see military operations there, except by occasional glimpses, is quite out of the question. Judging, however, by the firing, the struggle must have been a fierce one, and we ques tion very much whether the Park game were not fully possessed with the belief in a grand battuc of themselves for the amusement of the foreign visitors at the Castle. While the contest at the bridge was in progress, and shortly after 11 o'clock, Her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, with their illustrious guests, embarked in a gaily decorated barge upon the lake, and drew near to witness the mimic strife. The roar of the guns and incessant file firing, well reveberated, were, however, all that the general spectators could gather of what was going on upon the left wing of the divi sion. They had chiefly congregated on the edge of the water, from the Wheatsheaf towards the cascades, and as they listened and wondered why the dread echoes of war had been awakened so far from the position assigned to them, events soon helped them to an explanation. The Guards were suddenly seen stand ing like a long line of statues under the shade of the trees close at band. A strong force of Sappers, in fatigue dress, proceeded to launch pontoons, and it was evident that while Sir De Lacy Evans was occupying the atten tion of the enemy on the left, and concentrating the defence upon Blacknest-bridge, Lord Seaton was pre paring to carry over his men in another and easier di rection, which had been left unguarded. The occupants of the Royal barge were in the secret, and soon glided down the lake to witness the pontooning. The prepara tions for it are not very interesting, and yesterday, from some unexplained cause, appeared to occupy an unusual time. We have seen much greater expedition attained abroad under far less advantageous circumstances, but, probably, there was some good reason for the delay. While the Sappers, like so many ants, were launch ing the pontoons, four companies of the Rifles, passing through the ranks of the Guards, were rapidly pushed across the lake on India-rubber rafts of a new construction, and took shelter in the woods close to the edge of the water. The cannonade on the left, at Blacknest-bridge, now became feebler and feebler, until about noon it died away altogether, and the enemy, having discovered Lord Seaton's real intention, advanced to dispute his passage. Not a moment was now to be lost. The pontoons were completed, the remaining com panies of the Rifle corps were thrown across, and, form ing line, opened a heavy fire. The batteries thundered from the south side of the. water, and under cover of this fierce cannonade, which shrouded in smoke for some minutes the whole woodland, the stately brigade of Guards marched across the bridge. They had ,scarcely disappeared, when the Sappers, leaving the pantoons for a moment, returned with bundles of fern which they strewed along the planking, and then, their passage being thus rendered tolerably secure, on came the three batteries. To these, safely ferried over, succeeded the Carabineers and the 42d. The rest of Fane's brigade and of the cavalry made for the high ground on the north side of the lake by the Iron-gate, while Sir De Lacy Evans's brigade proceeded in the same direction, the enemy being now withdrawn from the stoutly-con tested .11acknest-bridge. The whole division thus met, about 2 o'clock, on a fine piece of table land admirably adapted for reviewing troops, and called Smith's-lawn. Thither the Queen and the Royal party proceeded, and a most ,brilliant spectacle than that which followed is rarely seen in this country, The number of men upon the ground was not swamped by a great concourse of spectators. A brilliant sky overhead brought out with telling effect every variety of uniform and every change of position. The park, clos e d i n with majestic trees, and having stamped upon it a ll the stately attributes of a Royal domain, afforded ample scope for the purposes of a review. Above all, the troops looked their very best. On no former occasion have we been so stru ck with their splendid appearance and perfect discipline. As they marched past her Majesty,. all the strength and fame of our arms seemed embodied in their serried ranks. The Guards, the 93d, and the Rifles were par ticularly remarkable for the steadiness and precision with which the defiled. But all bore thems e l ves proudly, soldierly, and well ; nor did the eye of the spectator fail to catch, as the soft summer air rolled back the regimental colours, names of other than sham fights, and evidences of martial courage sustained unsullied on many a bloody field. The cavalry arrived on the lawn before the rest of the divi sion came up. They then, preceded by the Horse Artillery, trotted past the saluting point to the sound of music, and, wheeling off to the left, returned to the camp by the route which they had followed in the morn ing. The field batteries succeeded, and next came the Guards, marching to the air of, a n d i mpersonating "every inch," "the British Grenadier," and Sir De Lacy Evans's brigade having also passed, General Fane's brought up the rear. Th e return to camp was made nearly as interesting a sight as any thing in the day's proceedings. Some of the regiments, halting and piling arms by the wayside, dined al fresco; others, without attacking the contents of their mess-tins, merely drew up for a few minutes to rest, while the 42d, last off the field, but without stopping and helped on by the sound of the bagpipes, was among the first to reach its quarters. All got back by four o'clock, so that the division had been nearly seven hours under arms. The day's o p era ti ons wou ld h ave been more interesting could they have been better seen. In this respect, the bare, open common has a manifest Quarters ended July 5. 5,745,838 568,687 456 - 544,249 99,176 287,878 326,3!3 7,572,625 5,711,580 ) 3,284,205 7,962,407 6,164,662 5,721,238 572,975 356,823 999,027 8,364,718 6,164,662 14,529,380 1,407,812 1,797,745 3,205,557 advantage over the park. Manoeuvres are not only more within view, but look more natural and real there. These, however, are considerations which concern the onlooker rather than the troops ; and it is to be borne in mind that cover from observation is one of the re quisite accompaniments of pontooninff. Some amusement was cau se d yesterday by the salutes fired from the model frigate in Virginia-water when the Royal barge passed and repassed. Her crew appeared to consist of two seamen and a captain ; the latter, in full uniform, looking in his solitary state a Blake or a Rodney at least, held undivided possession of the quar ter-deck. How his " merry men so beautiful" managed to fire their guns, and with such stunning effect too, wa s the wond er o f a ll on shore. Great complaints are made in camp as to the slow and imperfect manner in which the post-office service is per formed there. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. CAMBRIDGE, JULY 4, M.A. COMMENCEMENT, 1853.

Our readers are aware that a considerable emigration is going on from Europe to the Mormon settlement in North America, called Utah—a settlement, by the way, which now claims admission to the Union on the footing of a state. We observe, from the number just issued of Z 7 Latter-day Saints' Millenial Star, that "about 25 poor saints were assisted to emigrate from Scandinavia" during the present season. Elder Christopher Arthur reports the arrival of the ship International at New Orleans, with Mormon emigrants from Liverpool, in April last. During the passage, the Saints seem to have been singu larly industrious in making converts. They baptised the whole ship's company, with three exceptions. The elder says . • "We can number the captain, first and second mates, with 18 of the crew, most of whom intend going right through to the Valley. The carpenter and eight of the seamen are Swedish, German, and Dutch. There are two negroes, and others from Otaheite, &c. Many of them have already testified to the truth of this work, and are rejoicing in the anticipation of building up Zion." Hudibras was wicked enough to sing that— " Carnal seamen in a storm, Turn pious Christians, and reform," , But that the storm over, the piety went with it ! We should like to know the history of these conversions. There was a splendid ceremony and four marriages on board. The elder thus reports the proceedings :—" On the Gth of April, we held the 23d anniversary of the or ganisation of the Church, which was, in our circumstances, a splendid affair. Early in the morning a goodly number of brethren assembled on the forecastle, and fired six rounds of musketry to usher in our festivities. At half-past ten, we marched in regular procession to the poop-deck, in the following order :—Presi dent and counsellors with sashes and white rosettes on their breasts, who took their seats with their backs to the main-mast. After them followed twelve young men, appropriately robed, each with a white rod in his hand, with sashes, rosettes, &c. Then followed twelve young women, mostly dressed in light dresses, each holding in her hand a scroll of white paper, bearing the significant motto Utah's Rights,' adorned with ribbons and white rosettes. The young men took their seats on the right hand of the presi dency, and the young women on the left. Then fol lowed twelve old venerable men dressed similar to the young men, each carrying a Bible and a book of Mormon in his hand, led on by Father Waugh, who read portions out of each book, illustrative of this Latter day work. We then took the Sacrament, and at tended to the celebration of four marriages, which finished our forenoon service.
