"It would, he added, of course be necessary for him again to read over the dispatches in order to comprehend their full import ; but as far as he could now judge; the opinion of the two Governments seemed to coincide in reference to two points, viz., the one that the right of the United States to decline the proposals made to them by the English and French Governments was admitted ; the other, that some of the general positions taken by Mr. Everett, in his note of the Ist of December, 1852, appeared to those Governments to render a protest against them on their part necessary, lest it might here after be inferred that those positions had been acquiesced in by them. "We replied that, without pretending to point out to Mr. Marcy what further step he was or was not to take in this matter, the object which our respective go vernments had in view seemed to us to be, generally such as he had stated it, and that we, for our part, con sidered the discussion of the subject closed by the com munication which we had just made. " Mr. Marcy appeared to receive our observations in a conciliatory manner, and concluded by expressing his hope and belief that no misunderstanding would arise between the great maritime Powers in regard to this matter." Upon the foregoing correspondence a telegra phic despatch from Washington, in the 11 r ew York Herald, states as follows : "We have reason to believe that Lord John Russell's letter, relative to the proposition for a tripar tite treaty, has been answered by Mr. Marcy in a man ner which will not only convince the English Secretary of State of his want of correct geographical knowledge as to the distance between the United States and Cuba, but also of the fact that any combinations of European Powers by which this country is likely to be nearly or remotely affected will not be regarded with indifference. We are further of opinion that the truly American doc trine enunciated by Mr. Everett in his celebrated State paper in reply to Messrs. Crampton and Sartiges, has been endorsed and emphasized by the present Adminis tration to the fullest extent. From present appearances, while no disposition is manifested to assume a hos tile attitude on the part of our Government, it is evi dent, if the threat of Lord John Russell, that Great Britain is free to act singly or in conjunction with other powers, as to her may seem fit, means that she will enter into combinations to thwart the policy of the United States, that there will be no hesitation on the part of President Pierce in protecting the interests and honour of the country. It looks squally. The mission to France is yet unfilled, but the matter will be probably decided in a few days. If it had been supposed probable that General Cass would accept the position, the President would gladly have availed him• self of his great ability and experience in the present critical state of Europe. It is understood the mission has been tendered to Mr. Cobb, and now awaits that gentleman's acceptance." The Convention.between the United States and Great Britain concluded on the Bth of February last had been made public by the President. The subject is the unsettled claims between the two countries since the treaties of Ghent. Mr. Inger soll and Lord John Russell are the plenipoten tiaries. The following is an abstract or summary of the document : " I. That all such unsettled claims shall be referred to two commissioners, one to be chosen by the President and the other by the Queen, to meet at London, and choose a third man as an umpire to decide where they disagree. Where they fail to agree upon an umpire, they are each to name one, and which of the two shall be the umpire must be decided by lot. "2. The commissioners shall forthwith proceed to investigate the claims when presented, carefully exa mining the evidences, agreeing when they can, and when they fail the umpire's decision to be without appeal; and the two Governments shall stand by such decisions and be bound by them, "8, Each claim is to be presented within six months of their meeting, and decided on within a year after their first meeting. "4. All sums awarded on account of the claim shall he paid within one year by the Government, without interest. " 5. The action of the commission to be a final settle ment of all prior claims of the sort. " 6. The commission to keep straight accounts, and to employ a clerk for the purpose. The salary of corn missioners to be the same, and not to be over $3,000, or 6201. sterling, annually ; of the clerk, not to be over $1,600, or 3101. sterling. Salaries and contingent ex penses to be paid by a rateable deduction on the sums awarded ; not, however, to exceed 5 per cent. upon them • and in case of a deficiency, the two Governments equally to defray the balance. "7. The Convention to be ratified within a year of its date." The New York Times of the 25th ult. gives the subjoined warlike information : "We understand that orders have been received at Governor's Island, from the War Department, for the immediate transmission to the Rio Grande frontier of a large quantity of artillery, ammunition, and ordnance stores, more in amount than General Taylor had during his whole campaign. This step has undoubtedly been taken in consequence of the movements of Santa Anna, who is concentrating on the same frontier a very large military force, and supplying it very largely with the munitions of war. Such movements on the part of the two Governments, especially while so many points of difference remain unadjusted, naturally excite consider able apprehension. The Mesilla Valley dispute, the more recent embroilment at El Paso, the raid of Carva jal and company a little over a year ago, the disputed Garay grant, and the Indian incursions on the Mexican provinces, which we are bound by treaty to suppress, offer numerous provocations to collision which more prudence and pacific purposes than Santa Anna is sup posed to possess will be required to avert. " At the same time, many you are well acquainted with Mexican affairs believe that Santa Anna is not desirous of renewed hostilities, and that these demon strations aro intended simply to back up the demands he makes for very large indemnities from our Govern ment on account of Indian incursions upon the Mexican territory. These demands, which less than a year since amounted to about $7,000,000, have now reached twice that sum. We apprehend it will be a matter of consi derable difficulty to induce our Government to make payment of so large a sum, though we think it not im possible that a compromise may be effected which shall involve the sacrifice of the Garay grant as an offset to these demands. " Mr. Gadsden's instructions, we have reason to be lieve, are eminently pacific in their tendency, while they contemplate the exigency of a still further accession of territory." The New York Herald, in rejoinder to the above, affirms, however, that the munitions of war thus transmitted are merely the necessary and usual supplies furnished to the troops on the fron tier, and that hostilities are not apprehended. Advices from Jamaica to the 12th ult. state that the Government affairs still remained at a dead lock. The arrival of the new Governor was daily expected, and hopes were entertained that, after he had convoked the House of Assembly, political affairs would go on more smoothly. Members were, however, determined to maintain the con stitutional rights of the electors. The weather Iva* exceedingly warm, and yellow fever had not esi tirely disappeared. The British schooner Dreadnought arrived at Charleston on the 25th ult., bringing as passengers the widow and family of the late Governor of the Bahamas en route to England. A great failure of the crops was reported at the Grand Bahamas, and it was feared the inhabitants would undergo priva tion. Mr. George Saunders had been commissioned as Consul of the United States to London. His Netherlands Majesty's steamship of war Amsterdam, arrived at New York on the 25th ult., having on board a considerable quantity of go o d s for the New York Crystal Palace. After remaining a few weeks the Amsterdam is to proc ee d to the coast of Venezuela. The steamship Germa n ' first of the Bremen line of steamships, reached la ' the N ew York on the 26th ult., after a pa ssage of 23 days. The United States brig-of-war, Bainbridge, last from the Cape de Verdes, had also arrived at New York. The Alabama, Florida, and Mississippi papers complain of excessive rains doing great injury to the cotton crops. The Herald, under the head of " Six days across the Atlantic," says : "A steamer is now on the stocks at the shipyard of John W. Griffiths (late S. Sneden, at Greenpoint, which is expected to be ready for sea early in February next. This steamer is being constructed under the plans and specifications of William Norris, civil engineer, and John W. Griffiths, naval architect, who have patented their improvements in this country, England, and France. The builders and patentees, as we are in formed, are under engagements to cross the Atlantic, from New York to England, within six days, in all reasons, with greater comfort to passengers and less I risk to life than by the present conveyances.

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, Ste., &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 hi 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 ence secret causes of self - acq uired miseries and disa ppointed hopes in ex istence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Untrnitfhl 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 anyoue es may be avoided, functional all, that there is scarcely degree of physical infirmity or derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot 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 is 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 thi4 department of practice, he has been amply rev, allied 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 or their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.

On hi 3 return to King's-cross, at the close of the ex periments, Captain Wynn proceeded to examine John Higgs, the driver of the pilot engine attached to the coal train with which the collision occurred, who has not as yet made any statement before the magistrate at Clerkenwell. He stated that the train he had in charge consisted of two trucks of oak timber, five coal trucks, five trucks of coke, a break van, and an engine and ten der,—the tender varying the usual course, going before the engine ; that he arrived at Hornsey station at four minutes to 5 o'clock (the station master fixes the time a minute earlier), that his train was then on the up-line, and, having to leave five trucks of coals at the Horn sey station, he proceeded to shunt the train on to the coal siding across the down line on which the express was shortly to travel; and that in doing so the engine tender got off the rails and stood an impediment on the down-line. He added that the average run from King's cross to Hornsey by the express was between seven and eight minutes on a fine day. Just before reaching the distance-signal the line inclines towards Hornsey, and after passing that point it begins to decline towards the station. He gave a graphic description of the collision and of the position of the down train and the obstruct ing body after the shock. Captain Wynn, accompanied by Mr. Sturrock, Leech, and Mr. Budge, then went to the company's engine depot, near the terminus at King's-cross, and closely inspected the injuries which the express engine and tender and the tender of the pilot engine had sus tained, but he seemed wholly at a loss to account for the tender getting off the line ; and to this moment that matter reeziainneesra.a n mystery superintendent, and company's to n o pa alln loco motive s parties who have investigated it.

The following is some additional intelligence by the same vessel : The Humboldt has on freight about $500,000 in specie for Havre, and gold coin value $35,386 for London. She brings dates from New York to the 27th ult. The steam-ship Cherokee, which was destroyed by fire at New York on the 26th ult., belonged to George Law and Co.'s line of packets. At the time of the disaster the Cherokee was filled with cargo, and the loss to the owners and freighters amounted to about $lOO,OOO to the former, and $500,000 to the latter. The yellow fever still continued at New Orleans with all its malignity, and with an unchecked ten dency truly frightful. The number of deaths in one day had reached 315, and at the last accounts the average mortality was but little below 300. It had become an opinion that the epidemic would not cease so long as there was material for it to work upon. 400 discharges from cannon were fired daily, tar barrels were burned in the graveyards and infected places, and the streets cleansed as well as they could be with the small force at the dispo sal of the municipality, without, however, in any way lessening the virulence of the disease. The amount of subscriptions for rendering relief had amounted in various places to $137,577, and others were pouring in. The New York Herald publishes the dispatch of Lord John Russell to Mr. Crampton, in reply to the letter of Mr. Everett in reference to the proposals of England and France to the United States for a tripartite treaty for the protection of Cuba. To this document is also appended a brief dispatch from Mr. Crampton ; relative to an interview be- I tween Mr. Secretary Marcy and the British and French Ministers on the subject : " LORD J. =WELL TO MR. CRAMPTON. " Foreign-office, Feb. 16. • " Sir,—Lord Malmesbury received just before leaving office the note addressed to you by Mr. Everett, and left it for the consideration of his succeosor. The absence from London of the ambassador of Frabse has hitherto prevented that communication between the two Govern ments which the circumstances of the proposal made jointly required. I have now to inform you of the view which her Majesty's Government take of Mr. Everett's reply to our overture. It is doubtless perfectly within the competence of the American Government to reject the proposal that was made by Lord Malmesbury and M. Turgot in reference to Cuba. Each Government will then remain as free as it was before to take that course which its sense of duty and a regard for the in terests of its people may prescribe. I should have satis fied my obligations as Secretary of State by this obvious remark, had not Mr. Everett entered at large into argu ments which the simple nature of the question before him hardly seemed to require. The Governments of Great Britain and France, when they made this pro posal to that of the United States, were fully aware of the growth of power and extension of territory which have marked the progress of the United States since the period of their independence. The absorption or annexation of Louisiana in 1803, of Florida in 1819, of Texas in 1845, and of California in 1848, had not escaped them ; still less did they require to be reminded of the events of the seven years' war, or of the American war. " It occurs to her Majesty's Government, therefore, to ask for what purpose are these arguments intro duced with so much preparation, and urged with so much ability ? It would appear that the purpose, not fully avowed, but hardly concealed, is to pro cure the admission of a doctrine that the United States have an interest in Cuba to which Great Britain and France cannot pretend. In order to meet this pre tension, it is necessary to set forth the character of the two Powers who made the offer in question, and the nature of that offer. Mr. Everett declares, in the out set of his dispatch, that the United States would not see with indifference the island of Cuba fall into the pos session of any other European Government than Spain,' &c. The two powers most likely to possess themselves of Cuba, and most formidable to the United States, are Great Britain and France. Great Britain is in posses sion, by treaty, of the island of Trinidad, which in the last century was a colony of Spain •, France was in pos session, at the commencement of this century, of Loui siana, by voluntary cession from Spain. These two powers, by their naval resources, are, in fact, the only Powers who could be rivals with the United States for the possession of Cuba. Well, these two Powers are ready voluntarily to declare, severally and collectively, that they will not obtain, or maintain for themselves, or for any one of themselves, any exclusive control over the said island of Cuba, nor assume nor exercise any do minion over the same.' Thus, if the object of the United States were to bar the acquisition of Cuba by any Euro pean State, this convention would secure that object. But if it is intended, on the part of the United States, to maintain that Great Britain and France have no in terest in the maintenance of the present statics quo in Cuba, and that the United States have alone a right to a voice in that matter, her Majesty's Government at once refuse to admit such a claim. Her Majesty's pos sessions in the West Indies alone, without insisting on the importante to Mexico and other friendly States of the present distribution of power, give her Majesty an interest in this question which she cannot forego. The possessions of France in the American seas give a similar interest to France, which, no doubt, will be put forward by her Government. Nor is this right at all invalidated by the argument of Mr. Everett that Cuba is to the United States what an island in the mouth of the Thames or the Seine would be to England or France. The distance of Cuba from the nearest part of the territory of tha United States—viz., from the southernmost part of Florida, s 110 miles. An island at an equal distance from the mouth of the Thames would be placed about 10 miles north of Antwerp, in Belgium; while an island at the same distance from Jamaica would be placed at Manzanillo., a town in Cuba. Thus there are no grounds for saying that the possession of Cuba by Great Britain or France would be menacing to the United States ; but that its possession by the United States would not be so to Great Britain. There is one argument of the United States' Secretary of State which appears to her Majesty's Government not only unfounded but disquieting. Lord Malmesbury and M. de Turgot put forward, as a reason for enterin g into the proposed compact, 'the attacks which have lately been made on the island of Cuba by lawless bands of adventurers from the United States, and with the avowed design of taking possession of that island.' To this reason Mr. Everett replies in these terms, 'The President is convinced that the conclusion of such a treaty, instead of putting a stop to these lawless proceedings, would give a new and powerful impulse to them.' The Government of Great Britain acknowledges with respect the conduct of the President in disavowing and discouraging the lawless attempts here referred to. The character of those at tempts, indeed, was such as to excite the reprobation of every civilized State. The spectacle of bands of men collected together, in reckless disregard of treaties, for the purpose of making from the ports of the United States a piratical attack on the territory of a Power in amity with their own State, and, when there, en deavouring by armed invasion to excite the obedient to revolt and the tranquil to disturbance, was a sight shocking, no doubt, to the just and honest principles of the President. But the statement made by the Presi dent, that a convention duly signed and legally ratified, engaging to respect the present state of possession in all future time, would but excite these bands of pirates to more violent breaches of all the laws of honesty and good neighbourhood, is a melancholy avowal for the chief of a great State. Without disputing its truth, Her Majesty's Government may express a hope that this state of things will not endure, and that the citizens of the United States, while they justly boast of their institutions, will not be insensible to the value of those eternal laws of right and wrong, of peace and friendship, and of our duty to our neighbours, which ought to guide every Christian nation. Nor can a people so enlightened fail to perceive the utility of those rules for the observance of international relations which for centuries have been known to Europe by the name of the 'law of nations.' Among the commentators on that law, some of the most distinguished American citizens have earned an enviable reputation ; and it is difficult to suppose that the United States would set the example of abrogating its most sacred provisions. Nor let it be said that such a convention would have pre vented the inhabitants of Cuba from asserting their independen ce . With regar d to internal troubles, the proposed convention was altogether silent- But a pre tended de c l ara ti on o f i n d epen d en ce, with a view ofim mediately seeki ng refuge, from revolts on the part o the blacks, un d er th e shelter of the United States, would justly be looked upon as the same in effect as a formal annexation. Finally, while fully admitting the right of the United States to reject th9_pr,?polalr Turgot, Great made by Lord Malmesbury and de Tu Great Britain must at once resume her entire liberty, and, M. rty, and, upon any occasion that may call for it, be free to act Rither singly or in conjunction with other Powers, as to her may seem fit.

Yesterday Captain Wynn, of the Board of Trade, ac compahied by Mr. Archibald Sturrock, locomotive en gineer of the Great Northern Railway, Mr. John Den nison, the superintendent of the line, Mr. Leech, the solicitor of the company, Mr. Budge, the locomotive superintendent, and other officials, made a series of ex perimental trips from the terminus of King's-cross to the Hornsey station, in a train specially provided by the company, with the view to ascertain whether or not it was practicable to stop the express down-train at Horn sey, going at its ordinary rate of speed, after seeing the danger-signal, at the first moment it is possible to per ceive it. In order to understand and appreciate the result of the experiments so made, it is necessary to state that the distance-signal on the London side of the Hornsey station can be seen by an ordinary-sized man, standing on an engine going from London, 510 yards before reaching it ; that the distance-signal to the spot where the collision occurred on the evening of Wednesday week is 664 yards ; and that from the place at which the dis tance-signal can be first perceived to the point of col lision is 1,174 yards. At one o'clock yesterday, Captain Wynn, in the com pany of the gentlemen mentioned, started from King's cross in a train composed precisely in the same manner as the express was on the day of the accident—namely, consisting of an engine and tender, seven carria ges an d three vans, dispose in exactly the same relationship, and the engine being precisely of the same calibre and construction as the one with which the collision hap pened. It ought also to be stated that Pardington and Woods, the engine:driver and fireman of the express train on the evening of the accident, and the driver and stoker of the pilot engine, the tender of which got off the rails at Hornsey and impeded the down line, were present in the train to witness the experiments, but were not permitted to have charge of it. The result of the first experiment was this :—When Captain Wynn's train first came within view of the distance signal, it was tra velling at the rate of 45 miles an hour. On perceiving the signal, the driver immediately shut off his steam, and applied the tender break only, and the effect was, that the train was stopped dead at the distance of 65 yards from the London end of the station platform at Hornsey, the point of collision on the day in question having been at the distance of about 130 yards from the middle of the platform, and at the other end of it. On the second experimental trip, the train started from the ticket platform at King's-cross, and by the time that it came in sight of the distance-signal it had attained a speed of 40 miles an hour. At that point every possible means at command were instantly put in requisition to arrest the career of the train ; the driver gave three beats with his whistle, that being the regular mode of signalling imminent danger to the guards, with the view to the application of the breaks ; the steam was imme diately shut off, the engine put out of gear, and all the three breaks applied. The result was that the train was brought to a stop just as the engine reached the dis tance-signal, that is, in the space of 510 yards, and at a point 664 yards distant from the place of collision at the Hornsey station. It was objected, on the part of Par dington, the engige-driver of the express, accused of negligence, that this second experiment was scarcely a fair one, in that three breaks were applied to stop the train, the express having ordinarily two only, though on the day in question it had, by a mere chance, three breaks. Captain Wynn thereupon, with the view to settle this point, and to test the matter still further, and beyond the possibility of doubt, undertook a third trip, starting, as usual, from King's-cross. He also, on this third occasion, caused an additional carriage to be at tached to the train, as a compensation for the weight of passengers and luggage which was conveyed by the express on Wednesday week. Pardington was like wise allowed to take up a position on the en gine, near the driver in charge, in order to satisfy himself that fair play was done. Captain Wynn and Mr. Sturrock also rode on the engine. When they came in sight of the distance-signal they were going at the speed of 51.43 miles, or about 514 miles per hour. The danger-signal was then immediately given, the steam shut off, and only two breaks applied ; and the effect was to bring up the train 45 yards from the Lon don end of the Hornsey station platform, _ _ By a practical demonstration, it has thus been proved, beyond cavil or question, that an express train, travel ling on the down line from London at the rate of 40 miles an hour, can be stopped before reaching the sta tion at Hornsey, if the means available for arresting its progress are applied immediately that it is possible for the engine -driver, keeping a lookout ahead, to see the distance .signal. Undoubtedly, it may be said, with some degree of truth, that the experiments of yesterday were scarcely analogous to an ordinary case—that the parties on the special train were all on the qui vivo, and the engine-driver Argus-eyed—that their sole object was to look for the danger-signal, and then, having perceived it, instantaneously to have recourse to every means at their disposal to stay the headlong career of the train within the briefest possible time and the shortest possible space. But still, making some allowance for all these considerations, the experiments were of a nature to carry conviction to an unprejudiced mind that the ex press train may be stopped at the Hornsey station, if the engine -driver be keeping a proper lookout, at the time at which the distance signal can be first observed ; and therefore that the recent collision might have been averted if all parties in charge of the engine and the train bad been doing their duty. Perhaps the fairest way to conduct the experiment would have been for the persons in charge of the signals at Hornsey to exhibit the distance danger signal some evening when the ex press down-train was anticipated, unknown to the en gine-driver and fireman in charge of it. It would then have been seen, in the natural and ordinary way, whether they pulled up the train within the station. After all, the public and the companies are a good deal to blame for these collisions. They act and react upon each other. The public, heedless of the imminent risk, demand a high rate of speed ; and the railway com panies, from the sheer force of competition, are driven to comply with that demand. The engine driver of an e xpress train, on the other hand, is urged by every possi ble motive to keep up that speed, except perhaps the on e which ought mainly to influence his mind and that s of all parties concerned—namely) a regard for th 9 safety .NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 8. The LOrds of the Admiralty completed their inspec tion of the Royal Marine barracks yesterday, and crossed to the dockyard at half-past 5 o'clock, where they were received by Rear-Admiral Superintendent Fanshawe and the staff of the establishment. They proceeded to the gallant admiral's office, and transacted business with him, after which they revisited the department of the chemical assistant to the master shipwright, Mr. Hay, who explained to their lordships the quality and appli cation of his invention for the prevention of the corro sion of iron-bottomed vessels. This morning at 10.40 Sir James Graham proceeded to the Royal Naval Col lege and held a levee, at which he received officers who had not had an official interview with him during the past 12 months. While Sir James was thus engaged, other members of the Board (Rear-Admirals Dundas and Berkeley) em barked in the Admiralty barge, in charge of Flag-Lieu tenant Strode, and went on board the Excellent gunnery ship, Captain Chads, and witnessed gunnery prac tice and explosive experiments, directed by Commander Sir William Wiseman, of that ship. While this was going on, Captain Milne (the dockyard Lord of the Ad miralty), went on board the Neptune, 120, Captain Scott, flag of Rear-Admiral Fanshawe, C. 8., and mus tered the officers and men of the fleet in ordinary. Sir Baldwin Walker, in the meantime, accompanied by Lieutenant-Colonel Greene, proceeded to reinspect vari ous departments and works in the dockyard. At about 1 o'clock all the Admiralty party proceeded to the George Hotel, and those of the body connected with the navy proceeded, in full uniform, to attend the obsequies of the late General Sir Charles Napier, G.C. B. After this they met as a Board, and transacted business at the George, which they left soon atter 6 o'clock, and em barked in the Vivid steam yacht, Master Commander Smethett, and Black Eagle, Master Commander Petley, for the Channel Islands and other places along the sea board, the inspection of which will occupy them until about Wednesday, when they will go on to Queenstown to meet the Channel fleet. The Blenheim, 60, screw ship, Captain the Hon. F. T. Pelham, is ordered to sea, and is taking in provisions &c. She has the blue peter flying for the start. WOOLWICH, SEPT. 8. The Vulcan, screw steam troop-ship, Commander Von Donop, has now embarked all the troops ordered to proceed from Woolwich for service on foreign sta tions, and the whole were mustered on board at 12 o'clock. They consist of Captain Graham's company, fourth battalion, and the following officers proceed with the company :—Captain Graham, Lieutenant Stokes, and Lieutenant Collington, to Barbadoes. Captain Ellis's company, eighth battalion, with the following officers :—Captain Ellis, Second Captain Shaw, Lieu tenant Grylls, and Lieutenant Leonard, for Jamaica. Captain Nixon's company, second battalion, with the following officers :—Captain Nixon, Lieutenant Black burne, and Lieutenant Wyllie. A detachment of one sergeant, one bugler, and 19 gunners of the Royal Artillery, to fill up the companies of that corps remain ing on the West Indian station, with 45 non-commis sioned officers and men of the 56th Foot, under Captain S. S. Cox, who, being the senior officer on board, takes the command of the troops. The usual number of mar ried women allowed to embark with each company of artillery is six, but Commander Von Donop, in a man ner which has gained for him the highest respect of every artilleryman on board and in the garrison, and the inha bitants of Woolwich, has most considerately allowed all the married women, with their children, to be taken on board, and there are now on board 19 women married to men of Captain Graham's company, 15 women mar ried to men of Captain Ellis's compan and 17 wome n y, married to men of Captain Nixon's company, with a ll their children, about 100 in nu m b er. The women and children are accommodated i n a commodious p l ace in the centre of the ship, which i s well ventilate d, and capable of accommodating d ou bl e the number now on board. The troops have two ent i re decks for t h e i r ac commodation, and on the upp er one they have a cook ing stove of the best constructi on, which cooks the w hole of their messes by steam, and it is fitted with Grant's distilling apparatus, to insure a never-failing s upply of distilled water on board. The upper covered deck is devoted exclusively to the officers and crew of the Vul can, who have also an excellent cooking and distilling apparatus for their use, and the ampl e acc ommodation of this fine ship enables every class to be distinct, when requisite, during long voyages, or on any occasio n. The entire ship is clean and well kept, and also well ven tilated. The Vutcan leaves Woolwi c h a t 4 a .m. to-mor row, so as to have the advantage of th e tid e a ll the way down the river, and is to call at Port smou th to take on board additional troops for the West I n dia station.

(Prom the Times. ) 11 iw is it that Englishmen—with the exception of c i is n ercial travellers—see but little of their own country? We are the most migratory people in Europe, and yet we are not acquainted with the beautiful scenery and more interesting towns of the islands in which our lot is cast. In the green uplands and sparkling streams of Devon—in the picturesque valleys of North and South Wales—in the lake scenery of the North of England and the west coast of Ireland—and, above all, in the Scot tish Highlands—there is surely enough to attract the tourist ; but, for some reason or another, he directs his wandering steps elsewhere. No doubt, this in a certain degree depends upon that mys terious principle in human nature which drives sightseers far away from their own homes for the purpose of visiting sights which they would haie passed over with indifference had they been situated at their own doors. How often in the course of his life does a Londoner visit Westminster Abbey or St. Paul's except as escort to a country cousin ? We fear the Parisians display the same apathy as to the attractions of Notre Dame, and that the Viennese do not throw away much time upon St. Stephen's. This principle is no doubt operative to a certain extent, but it is insufficient to account for the fact of the reluctance of English people to travel in their own country. There is surely enough in the historical traditions of the English soil, and in the absolute beauty of its surface, to attract us in youth or in old age to every corner of our islands. We are, in point of fact, deterred from making the tour by the exe crable character of our hotels, and the extortionate charges exacted for insufficient accommodation. It is a somewhat startling fact, but one which is absolutely true, that a tourist could spend a couple of months upon the double journey between the United States and England, visit every State of the , Union, from the Falls of Niagara to New Orleans, and live in comfort during his whole trip, for a less sum of money than it would cost him to " aim at," we do not say to " attain," the same amount of comfort during a two months' journey in the British Isles. Let us presume the English traveller during the period of his tour to visit North and South Wales, the English Lakes, the Scottish Highlands, and to return to his starting point, London, through York and the Midland Counties. He is in his own country—he has no trouble with languge, currencies, or customs ; but although the fare for the steamer backwards and forwards between England and the States is 301. either way, the whole Transatlantic trip will cost the tourist considerably less than if he had confined his wanderings to his own little island. As to the amount of comfort t o be met with on either route, it would simply be idle to institute a comparison, so greatly is the result in favour of the more dis tant trip. Now, we would say a word or two upon either point—and, first, as to the character of hotel ac commodation in England. This is entirely mis managed from beginning to end. That which the traveller does not want he can meet with—that which he absolutely requires for his comfort and refreshment is not forthcoming. There is not the slightest occasion for red cotton velvet sofas, four post bedsteads with fad e d b roca d e, or piles of use less furniture either in sitting-room or bed-room. No traveller cares to see his mutton chops set be fore him in a dingy kind of imitation of a silver dish. These displays are unnecessary, or simply annoying. A traveller would rather pay for their absence than their presence. That which is wanted, however, is an establishment in which the passing guest can obtain clean and wholesome food at a moderate cost—something less than twenty times more than he would have paid for it in his own home. Then, again, can there be a more inconve nient arrangement than that which seals the public -entry room to ladies when in the company of father, husband, or any male relative ? Any one who is unfortunate enough to have any experience of English travelling must be well aware that the presence of a lady well nigh quadruples hotel charges. A private sitting-room is absolutely necessary, and then the bill is calcu lated upon the private-room scale, with the usual accompaniments of " wax lights," and other abominations of the same description. In Eng land, in almost every case, the coffee-room is a den partitioned off into little pens, over each of which a gas-burner is set ablazing at night, to the discomfiture of the dismal occupant who may be confined within its narrow limits. Compare this for a moment with the " public room" in the day dinner, either in common at the table d'hBte, or separately if desired, without the expense of a private sitting-room. The bedrooms, too, in the hotels on the principal continental lines are infinitely superior to our own. In them at least there is-air and space—no filthy carpet, reeking with the pollution of a thousand feet, and of - wiry a winter's soot. There is a bed without curtains —and consequently without saved-up dirt—a table, a sofa, a few chairs, and a little bureau, and the usual apparatus for washing. That is all there is, and all that is required. Even under the head of ablutions the continental hotels are better provided than our own. There are either hot or cold baths in the house, or they are to be met with at a bath establish ment a few minutes distant from the hotel. In France and Germany this is invariably the case, and how much the arrangement promotes the corn fort of the traveller they only can tell who, after a hard day's travel, have not been able to procure the refreshment and comfort of a bath. There are hotels in England, we deny it not, where such things are to be procured, but they must be paid .for at a rate far beyond the means of ordinary tra vellers. It is simply ridiculous to point to such an establishment as the Bedford Hotel at Brighton, and to cite it as au example of , the comfort of British hotels. To frequent or to use such a house a man must either be a millionnaire or under the reckless influence of approaching bankruptcy. Bad as the character of English hotels must be considered with reference to the accommodation they afford, they appear still more discreditable when their charges are called in question. Perhaps the shortest manner of testing the comparative merit of the two systems as to price will be to reprint an extract from the letter of a correspon dent which appeared yestereay in our columns. This gives the relative cost of two autumn trips made respectively in the years 1851-52 by the writer, in company with his wife and daughter. The first tour extended through a portion of Switzerland : "1851.—Cost of railway travelling for three persons for a period of seven weeks, through Belgium, France, &c., with fare by diligence occasionally 1,200 f. 1,300 f. " Cost of hotel expenses, ditto ' c 1/ -., ( "Total £loo " 1852.—Cost of railway travelling for three persona during a period of six weeks and three days, through the south, south-west, and west of England—by North and South Wales towards Liverpool, through Scot land, and back to London, via Newcastle, Durham, York, Leeds, Nottingham, Leicester, Leamingto n , and Oxford . £lls " Cost of hotel expenses, ditto "I give Total you my word of honour thartll " was not onl y No w , 13 e S t i t r e r lodged andmfeydhmdourienf my Contine n t a l , much our g f r o e r at 3 e 6 r o I c . , on b a u i t . u was,tour for 1001. e rt,h treatedand r during g ith very der s a u ti c o h n a a nd ealcult respect."ain may perhaps in dicatesufficientlytheveiling in theirrea so reason own why Englishmen are shy oft - country. meansAn English tourist of moderate Highlands, and flies tnaturally declines the Scotch Minor. to travel in England—that is the simple reason why he remains ignorant of the scenery of his own country, although he may have verified the statements of every one of Mr. Hurray's handbooks in the refers. The cost of railway travelling, althou g h this is far hi g h er w ith us th an on the continent, and far higher than it should be, cannot account for the result. It is at the hotels the difference is felt—and, when we say hotels, we are not speaking of such a den of thieves as Dover, but of the ordi nary English hotel. We find precisely the same kind of result if we go into an hotel in the neigh bourhood of town—at Greenwich or at Richmond —say, at the Crown and Sceptre, or at the Star and Garter. Excellent dinners at a high rate can no doubt be served at either of these establishments, but let a party of three or four who require a quiet meal think twice of the cost before they venture in. They will find themselves mulcted in the sum of six shillings for little more than a pint of most indifferent wine, and other charges in proportion. Compare this system with that of foreign restau rants and tables d'hote, and is it much wonder that Englishmen avoid the hotels of their own country I ;,A t iStLl was N h G e T l O d N , by Co a ri d u jo icr, u ß rn. t N t the Tn C q o u C I e l iery School-room, Cram mNeoFnuAtjulouni MBEEouIdPA:NyOn A 2 8 lingto ' n, before S.
