SAMUET., L A'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. 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 provett that there are in exist ence 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 Unfruitfld 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, hew these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequent es may be avoided, and above all, that there is namely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engeged 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 meek-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 free. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply rewarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the teatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the c r i re of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreignnames 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 fin' consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from Six till Eight. All letters must contain the fee of IL, and advice and. medicines can be forwarded to any initials or address. It is desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LA'MEItT hould 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 frees secret habits and CACC3ceS.

In Asia the war has been carried on with vigour, and several actions fought, in which the Russians claim a de cided advantage. Their bulletins are evidently gross exaggerations, but we are inclined to believe that the result of these engagements, 'in the last week of November, was unfavourable to the Turks. The Turkish army is too muchsiib-divided, and ill-commanded, by officers who arc not even agreed on their plan of operations • and the suc cessive actions fought by General Andronikoff and Prince Beboutoff show that the enemy fell on sepa rate divisions of the Turkish forces. One corps has already retreated in disorder on Kars, and we adhere to the opinion we have already expressed, that we shall shortly hear of the Russians march ing on Erzeroum. It is entirely useless, and indeed mischievous, to disguise the fact that the Turks have sustained on these occasions great reverses, as everybody expected they would be in so unequal a struggle ; but they have at least shown a spirit and courage not to be surpassed by more civilised nations.

PHILIP HENRY BYRNE, Secretary. 42, Moorgate-street, London, Dec. 1, 1853. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. THE WAR IN THE . EAST. (Prom the Times. ) The. Journal de St. Petersburg announces to the world, in repeated supplements, at long array of bulletins, rejoicings, and thanksgivings, which form a strange contrast to the falsehood and imposture evidently pervading these narratives, and to the mass of human suffering caused by the hateful work of destruction and of death. " The most pious Czar," says the journalist of that Court, thanked the Lord of Lords for the success of the victorious Russian arms which trita'phed in the sacred combat for the orthodox faith." It is diffi cult to express the disgust with which one reads such expressions ; and, bad as every part of this transaction has been on the side of Russia, these violations of the laws of nations and of man are stamped with a deeper guilt when they are im puted to the favour of that Almighty Power which is the source of perfect justice and the avenger of innocent blood. This language and these obser vances are, of course, intended to kindle to its high est pitch the fanaticism of the Russian people, and to give the character of a crusade to the war. But beyond the frontiers of that empire they will serve only to display more palpably the hypocrisy which first gave the signal of war under the pretext of religion, and has since preserved the mask of nego tiation only to conceal more extensive preparations and more violent aggressions. Among the bulletins of the Russian forces, — which must be read with due allowance for the source they proceed from,—the account of the battle of Sinope is by far the most interesting, and, from the wide-spread destruction which overtook the Turks on that occasion, we must probably accept the testimony of the victors as our chief evidence. Moreover, the facts, as related by the Russians themselves, completely bear out the case against them. Admiral Nachimoff was cruising on the coast of Anatolia, when he perceived a squadron of Turkish ships in the roads of Sinope. He must have seen that the Turkish flotilla was already in ferior in strength to his own squadron, for he had then with him three two-deckers and six frigates ; but, not content with this advantage, he sent the steamer Bessarabia back to Sebastopol to fetch three line-of-battle ships of 120 guns each ; and it was not till these ships—the Ville de Paris, the Grand Duke Constantine, and the Tri Sviatitelia —had joined his own fleet that he 'proceeded to reconnoitre the position of the enemy. These three deckers joined in the night of the 27th of Novem ber—they must have been sent for some three or four days before—and the battle was not fought till the 30th. So that the whole operation was planned and executed with the utmost deliberation, and there was ample time for the Turkish authorities in Sinope to have received reinforcements if they had sent for them. On the 30th, between 9 and 10 a.m., with a favourable north-east breeze, the Rudsians entered the roads in two divisions, under cover of fog and ra i n, w hi c h concea l e d their ap proach until they were within 500 yards of the Turkish frigates. The Russian Admiral's ship; the Empress Maria, and the Vile de Paris, lead ing the port division, dropped their anchors, and, the Turks opened their fire. The heavy three deckers did terrific execution, and several of the Turkish ships were blown up by shells from the Russian Paixhans guns. At two o'clock the firing ceased ; three Turkish frigates were in flames, and the transports altogether sunk. The Turkish portion of the town of Sinope was on 'fire, but, by one of tb ose portents which only occur in these sacred contests, we are informed by the bulletin that the con flagration respected the quarter inhabited by the Greeks. It does not appear that any!porticn of the crews or treasure on board had been landed. On the following morning we are further told that nothing remained of the twelve vessels composing the Turkish squadron except a sloop and a corvetteb run ashore, and the Damietta Egyptian frigate, all of which were then ordered to be burnt. In these small vessels were found Osman Pasha, the Admiral, wounded in the leg, a few officers, and about 80 men. These appear to be the sole survivors of an armament which must have numbered the day be fore several thousand souls.

ELETERIOIIS CON FECTIONARY. —Alan y children having been poisoned by eating the ornaments of twelfth cakes, in consequence of the general use of mineral colours by. confectioners, Messrs. PURS'SELL, 78, Cornhill, near the Ex change, have introduced an entirely novel method of DECORATING their CAKES' with FRENCH BON 'IONS, &c., of delicious flavour; the colours, being prepared solely from ve. , etables, are quite harmless Ornamented c kes of ev...ry va lety, suitable for country presents, new year's gifts, &c. A great variety of fsnzy french and Swiss pastry, mince pies, &c.—Messrs. Fussell, 78, Cornhitl, near the Ex change only. Such are the facts upon which the Governments of England and France, and their representatives at the Porte, are now, called upon to take a prompt decision. About three weeks ago we ventured strongly to urge our own Government to consider, and to determine, if necessary, by a convention, the occasion and extent of the interference to which it stands committed, and the mode in which that interference is to be conducted,' should it extend to operations of war. We held some such measure to be indispensable even then, and an eventual agreement of that nature might rather have strengthened than impaired the negotiation for peace. The events which have since occurred render such a definite agreement still more essen tial. Are we, or are we not, bound to undertake the defence of the Ottoman empire, to which we are not committed by any positive defensive alli ance ? Are we, or are we not, resolved to co-ope rate with France, and have we exchanged definite engagements with her as to the nature of our com mon undertaking ? Until such positive and specific agreements exist (as they always have existed un der similar circumstances in former times) Turkey may doubt of our support, and France of our co operation ; everthing is vague, and we ourselves scarcely know whether we are at peace or at war. Be the course of the Government what it may, it is time that it be clearly defined, and that the country may kno w it ; for, after the attacks by sea and by land which we have just recorded, it is past all doubt that Russia is waging war on Turkey in its most aggressive and destructive form ; and it is equally clear that the expedition ordered by the Emperor Nicholas against Si nope, and executed in pursuance of those orders, was intended as an answer to the communications addressed to him on behalf of Turkey by the Maritime Powers. That is the opinion we expressed on the first receipt of this intelligence by the telegraph, and that opinion is strengthened to demonstration by the perusal of the Russian despatches. The entry of the com bined fleets into the Black Sea is, then, in our eyes, the natural and inevitable consequence of this outrage ; and, if they have already quitted their anchorage in the Bosphorus, they have doubtless full instructions to oppo3e by force every attempt on the part of the Russian navy to renew hostili ties. That a collision will ensue when naval forces are placed in such a position is extremely probable ; and the Emperor of Russia, foreseeing that such a result cannot long be avoided, unless' he with draws his fleet altogether from the sea, may anti cipate it by the declaration 'of a rupture. The manner in which these attacks have been con ducted, and the tone in which these victories have been celebrated, is sufficient proof that the Empe ror will not easily desist from this war ; and, though we regret none of the protracted efforts which have been made to avert so great an evil, we are not the less prepared to meet it in the last resort by a vigorous resistance. (Prom the Morning Chronicle.) The experience which we have lately had of Russian mendacity fully justifies an absolute refusal to believe any statement contained in bulletins concocted at St. Petersburg until they have received confirmation from some trustworthy authority—a period which, as a general rule, never arrives. We may be left for a while in uncertainty as to the precise quantity or quality of falsehood which it may have suited his Imperial Ma jesty to produce from his inexhaustible stores for the edification of the " orthodox Christians" whom he go verns ; but in the course of a few days we usually gain more correct information, and not only learn the truth, but perceive that there were very intelligible reasons for its perversion. From a despatch of Prince Androni koff, published in our second edition of yesterday, it would evidently appear that the exploits of that gallant general and his devoted followers, in the regions of the Caucasus, have been something more than " remarkable and very particular." It is not indeed asserted that " they climbed up hills almost perpendicular," but we are told that they discovered the enemy entrenched " in an inaccessible po sition, strengthened by a number of batteries" that, in de fiance of grape-shot and musketry, they crossed the river Poskhoff-Tchai, " the water of which came up to their armpits"—and that the result of a struggle of eleven hours was the utter rout of the Ottoman forces. The loss of the Turks is modestly estimated at 1,000 ; while that of the conquerors was, at the date of the despatch, not known to exceed 40. Those who are inclined to believe in this " most extraordinary, and, it may be said, unheard-of feat of arms"—as it is very justly styled by the victorious chronicler—are of course at liberty to enjoy their opinion ; but there can be little doubt that the story, if it has any foundation whatever in fact, is most grossly exaggerated. We have not as yet accurate intelligence from the seat of war in Asia, of so recent a date as that assigned to Prince AndronikOffs exploit (November 26); but there is good reason to believe that the result of previous contests had been exceedingly different from that which is alleged to have attended the operations of that • valiant and imaginative war rior. The repeated attacks which have been made on Fort Saint Nicholas afford a sufficient answer to those who have underrated its importance to both the belligerents. Again and again the Russians have attempted to recover that position, but they have always been repulsed with considerable loss. The Turk ish commanders in Asia appear to have conducted' their operations in the most vigorous manner, while they have possessed many peculiar facilities for effective action. In Georgia, they have found a friendly population ready to receive them with open arms, and they have prudently availed themselves of this advantage by making simul taneous attacks in different parts of the country. It might be premature at present to rely implicitly on the reports which have been received as to the advance of the various divisions of their force ; but we announced, a few days ago, that the detachment which crossed the frontier at Alexandropol had succeeded in repulsing the enemy and in confining them within the walls of the fortress, and subsequent accounts have confirmed our statement.

With such fair prospects of success in Asia—with an army on the banks of the Danube which, according to the most recent account, exceeds 100,000 in number, and with a general possessing the abilities which Omer Pacha has throughout displayed—the Turks will not be "disposed towards peace" by the atrocity committed at Sinope. The Sultan's Ministers have, from the first, been desirous of terminating the war on honourable terms, but we must not rely too confidently on their power to control the ardour of their countrymen. At Smyrna, and at various places in its neighbourhood, the green flag of the Prophet has been displayed, in de fiance of the authorities ; and if the contest be prolonged, Muscovite fanaticism will be met by a religious enthu siasm, to s buh i feasapsettimi pressure as ocsb e erul q dert u ee. h a deo l i l A y s aetwinti f v i kmhpdoseeo o e sueuou l orolcr e drfi th n tlt ephtintaa: interference i equally etnencpareoborfinmeeehrlteeeyeoeiannnrfi tbtec Ministry—the hfee o es otte b warhoi s fnetefe politicalai rses n nietl obstinate, n t nao heg after instance, tt ee teochasrtftene other aomeo d acl rnpitor:.epfottn reason,rae soretm r ai Ntonervi m fennahi ndani o i:nc re eaneti: single demand of Russia, hitherto refused, ought now to gravest magnitude, but a deep stain upon the honour of the Western Powers.

Both on this side of the Channel and • n e fl r i P c e ; a ''w' p i l e l w l e e a r v ft e i l blow h e Russia is producing serious discontent ; nor is it unim portant to observe that, in each country, rumour throws 7l [1 ) R10E SD. of our present attempt —as stated in the basis laid down for the new negotiation—of forcing the Turks to accede to the preservation in their integrity of the treaties be tween Russia and the Porte, which have already cost the latter so dear. The treaty of Unkiar Skelessi was "a defensive alli ance, by which Turkey was b oun d to afford mat er i a l a id to ussia, "and Russia undertook to protect Turkey." "By a secret, or rather additional article, Turkey, in lieu of military assistance to Russia, undertook to close the Dardanelles against foreign ships of war." "Th e effect of this treaty, as far as regards the Dardanelles, is to transfer to Russia the right of demanding the ex clusion of ships of war from that channel ; for Turkey has no longer the right to admit them when Russia is at war with any naval power." "On the other hand, the alliance being mutually defensive, Russia involves Turkey in any war in which she may herself be engaged." • And "Turkey could not refuse to open her channels to the fleets of her ally." This totally puts an end to the plea that the treaty excludes Russia from the Medi terranean. It does no such thing. "The maritime nations of Europe were quite pre pared to leave in the hands of Turkey the control of the navigation of her own channels ; but they did not con template and have not admitted (practically they have) ' the acquisition by Russia of a right to usurp that power, and it is obviously not fitting that she should possess it." "The treaty of Unklar . Skelessi constitutes Russia the virtual protector of Turkey." Now, be it remembered that the treaty so characterised by one of our most distinguished and able Eastern diplomatists, is only a part of a series of iniquitous ar rangements which have, in a long course of years, been forced down the throat of the Turk—that every one of these so-called treaties are virtually abrogated by the declaration of war—and that we Englishmen are by our own act prepared to coerce our ally to renew them all. Let England ponder upon these things and act. Let her look back to the disgraceful proceedings of her as in the treaty of Goolistan, which we have dis sected at the beginning of this article ; and then, if she is not prepared to betray Turkey as she betrayed Persia, let her put her foot on the programme of the second Vienna conference, in which, unless she does so, she is likely to play as ignominious a part as she has already acted in the first. . the blame on the other. France cannot endure th thought that England should reproach her with insin cerity* ; and a corresponding feeling prevails among our selves. The pending negotiations for peace have, indeed, hitherto interposed a restraint on the Western Powers which it would have been wrong to disregard ; but the massacre of Sinope, the assault on 14latschin, and the capture of the island adjacent to that town—all delibe rately undertaken while these negotiations were known to be in progress—have wholly altered the aspect of affairs. The inaction which may heretofore have been politic and discreet, would, if persisted in, be alike un wise and disgraceful. The familiar aphorism that pre paration for war is a sufficient security for the main tenance of peace, is not applicable to the quarrel which now agitates the world. With Russia . for our antagonist, war, boldly and vigorously prosecuted, affords the only chance of obtaining for Europe perma ment immunity from intrigues, which are baffled in one quarter only to be renewed in another—from wanton aggression on the weaker Powers—from an overwhelm ing deluge of barbarism, which may destroy, in a few campaigns, the progress which humanity and civilisa tion have made in as many centuries. We are not called upon to enter the field with any romantic sym pathy for our heterodox allies. We need. not attempt to disguise from ou rse l ves t h e fact that a nation o f Oriental origin will be ve,ry long before it overcomes the moral and social disadvantages against which it has to struggle ; but we may safely point to history, and ask whether the progress of any other country has been, ,within the last few years, more wisely directed, more rapid, or more substantial than that of Turkey. In her dominions we find no Bessarabia, and no Poland —civil freedom has been largely extended—and, with much in her executive Government which requires amendment, religious tolerance has been the principle of her legisla tion, and her Christian subjects will not fail duly to ap. predate the increasing indulgence conceded to them by their rulers. • • We have already stated our belief that the combined fleets have, ere this, entered the Euxine ; and it cannot' be doubted that they have instructions to secure for our allies uninterrupted communication with their maritime provinces, whilst, in case of any aggressive movement on the part of the enemy, active assistance will be given to the Porte. A glance at the map will show that the command of the sea coast is the most important advan tage which can be gained by either of the belligerents in Asia, and that success must eventually rest with the Power which is able to land reinforcements as often as occasion may require. The "Russian lake," when com manded by the fleets of Great Britain and France, will become a secure highway for Turkish transports ; nor will the catastrophe at Sinope be matter for unqualified regret, should it lead to the complete 'humiliation of Muscovite arrogance on the element which has recently been the scene of its disgraceful triumph. For the wis dom and vigour of the instructions which have been given to the allied fleets, we have sufficient guarantee in the character of our own Government, and in the un questioned sincerity of the French Emperor ; and for faithful execution, we may as implicitly rely on the ardour, the loyalty, and the courage of our sailors and their gallant comrades. A NEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH. R. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52, FLEET-STREET, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW DESCRIPTION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth, as not to be distinguished froth the originals by the closest observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does Rot require the ex traction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and pre serve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useflil in mas tication. . _ 52, FLEET-STREET.—At home from Ten till Five. ( From the Morning Herald.) Nothing, perhaps, is more singular in the history of the last 50 years than, the manner in which England, under rulers of every shade of politics, has been made subservient to the designs of Russia, notwithstanding the fact that she is herself the ultimate object against which all these designs are directed. It is hardly neces sary to call to our readers' recollection the various ways in which we have removed obstacles from her path to universal sway—how we encouraged the Czar in his ad vance to Adrianople, and how scandalously we con nived at the secret article of the trtaty of Unkiar Skelessi. The events of the last year are in every one's mouth—how we permitted the occupation of the Princi palities-a-how we attempted to coerce the Porte to make peace on the basis of the infamous Vienna note—how we permitted Russia to reinforce her troops iu Asia— and how we wound up the long catalogue of our iniquities by directly contributing to the massacre of Sinope, hav ing prevented, by direct interference, the Turkish fleet from giving that protection to her transports which we ourselves had neither the courage nor the honesty to afford. All these, and more, are unfortunately familiar as household words, not only to Englishmen but to all Europe ; but another delinquency has been committed by our Cabinet, the results of which promise to be the cause of even greater danger to England herself than any of the preceding. That to which we allude is the manner in which we have at last handed over Persia as a vassal to Russia, and so advanced the influence of the latter another 1,000 miles towards India, the great goal of her desires. It may appear singular that the Persians, who cannot be supposed tube wholly ignorant of the ultimate object of the Czar, should prefer his alliance to that of England ; but to those who have paid attention to the negotiations which have at different times taken place between the. three nations, and who know how invariably England has been fooled into playing the part of jackal to Russia --in fact, how completely in these transactions she has rehearsed the baseness of the last six months—no as tonishment can be caused that Persia should feel that if she is to be coerced by Russia, there can be no possible necessity that she should also be betrayed by England. We quote an instance from the admirable work gene rally. attributed to Sir John M'Neill, upon the " Pro gress of Russia in the East." When the negotiations were - pending which resulted in the treaty of . Goolistan (181 A), it is stated:— " The formal mediation of England was rejected by Russia ; but the good offices of the ambassador (Sir Gore Ouseley) were employed, and a treaty of peace was at length concluded, by which Persia ceded to Russia all her acquisitions south of the Caucasus, and engaged to maintain no navy on the Caspian." The Persian pleni potentiary had declined to accede to the former condition unless the district of Talich were excluded, for particular reasons not necessary to recapitulate. General Ritischof solemnly pledged himself, if the Persian ambassador would accept the basis, "to procure from his court the restitution of Talich as an act of grace from the Emperor; and deliberately held out the hope that the other provinces also would be restored." The British ambassador persuaded the Persians to,ac cept those terms, and undertook to use the good offices of his Government, &c. " The Persian Government, accustomed to place the most implicit reliance on the honour of Europeans," acceded to the demand. General Cathcart, who was sent to St. Petersburg as ambassador, was instructed by his Government to re deem the pledges of Sir G. Ouseley; "but all his good offices, urged with the whole weight of his public and'. personal influence," "were unable to procure from the Emperor the relinquishment of one foot of ground." " When General Yermoloff," the Russian ambassador, "arrived in Persia, he would restore nothing, and thus all the acquisitions of Russia remained in her possession ;" and to all this England submitted ! Can we, then, wonder, that after a long series of transactions, of which the above is only a sample, the name of England is as much despised in Persia as it will be hereafter in the Ottoman empire ? In fact, were it not for the dates, ight and the substitution of P ers i a f or T urkey, we m fancy we were reading an episode in the transactions of the last six months. We have been at the trouble of extracting the' above miserable piece of baseness, in order that our readers might deduce from it the fact how com pletely we have b een accessory to throwing Pen' toa the hands of Russia, an d h ow li ttle wonderful it Peoria in n a country such as Persia—where little patriotism exists, and bribery is common —that the influence of England should have sunk to nothing, while Russia is all powerful. We in a degree indicated, in an article published on Monday last, the course which we considered it proba ble Russia would adopt for carrying out to their full extent the designs against India which she has long been knowri to entertain. We may sum them up in a few words, viz., that taki ng advantage o f th e weak state of Persia a t the present moment, and the danger sup posed to be contingent on a quarrel with England—an auxiliary and protective. Russian force may intro duced into the country to supply the place of thet e person troops employed against the 'Turks, and toprotect with the history of the Shah. Those who are acquainted of the person of of Persia are aware that thepossessor the acknowledged sovereign dominates without control. The Affghans rulednamed Shah Sultan boos and for many in the sein as long as it suited thei r purpose, dde facto, as the Vizier of years Nadir Koolee nominal successor, Tamasp. that monarch's son resigned, These facts prove that t i h t e m r e ui rely an re d qu a t s re o s lu t t h e e rwulielrl of the the Czar to make hu ll . Persia, and to give him the disposal of its entire One of the great errors which has resources. usually been made by writers on the subject of the invasion of India,has been the assumption—against which their arguments have . been directed—that it would t e mpted by a Russian army marching across be at Persia, on th r ough Bokhara, and attempting to accom plish the enterprise in a year or two. Russia will do no such thing. She knows well that the successful invaders o f India have always been those who have for years b e en in possession of Persia, and have prepared the Persians to aid in the enterprise. Alexander himself w hen he set out on his Indian expedition, commenced his ninth campaign in Asia; and although the phalanx and the companion cavalry formed the nucleus of his army, the great mass of his forces consisted of Scythians Bactrians, Dahm, and Persians, troops who had been engaged or the three preceding years in various expe ditious to the north of the Parapomesian range, and had thus become disciplined and hardy soldiers. What is there in present circumstances to prevent i I Russia from adopting the same measures 1 A f ew years ' occupation of Persia, which we cannot prevent, except ; by active measures in the Caucasus, the Black Sea, and on the Danube, will place her in a position which would i enable her to make her appearance on the Indus with a Russo-Persian army, which we might find it hard to resist, and hccompanied by every man inhabiting- the plains and mountains from Herat to Attoek and Khelat who could find a horse to mount, a sword to gird on his side, or a matchlock to throw over his shoulder. When we last treated this subject we promise 3 our readers a few details of the means which we have adopted to conciliate these formidable auxiliaries, whose attachment or enmity may at a future day turn the scale for or against England ; but we find that space fails us, and we must conclude with another extract from Sir John Al`Neill, which will show the folly and wickedness THE MEDITERRANEAN SURVEY. The Admiralty, it would appear, have determined on renewing the efficient survey of the Mediterranean, and have again selected a captain to conduct it. Their lord ships have appointed Captain Thomas Saumarez Brock (1S50), addition a l to the Britannia, 120, flag-ship in the Mediterranean, for this special service. Captain Brock who is well known as a first-rate surveying officer, entered the navy in 1815, passed his examination in 1822, and served three years and a half in the Forte with Sir Thomas Cochrane in the West Indies. Whilst in this ship he saved a man's life at Spithead by jump ing overboard after him, and at Puerto Rico saved the lives of two midshipmen who were attacked by assassins, by disarming them (although he was himself unarmed) and severely wounding. them with their own weapons. Whilst mate of the Britannia, at Plymouth, he frac tured a leg and two 'ribs by saving a boat that drove on shore in a gale. As a lieutenant he served two years and a half in the Blonde, frigate, with Captain, now Rear-Admiral Sir E. Lyons, and was with him at the siege and captUre . of the Morea Castle. He was favour ably mentioned in the Gazette for this service, and re ceived the cross of the Redeemer of Greece. He was also in the Blonde during the cruise in the Black Sea in 1829. His next service was in the Beacon, surveying with Captain Copeland, the Archipelago. He was 54 years in this vessel, and in conjunction with Lieutenant Hope engaged in the chase and capture of 142 pirates (out of 200), eight boats;and six pieces of cannon, the Beacon's force was 40 men and officers. He then com manded the Magpie, on the same survey, from 1836 to 1842, was promoted in the latter year, and from 1844 to 1847 commanded the Bonetta, in further surveys in the Mediterranean. In this last service in the Archi pelago, Commander Brock built for the use of the. ser vice, at his own expense, a schooner of 20 tons, which vessel when ordered home he sold at a great loss ; neither cost nor loss was ever made up to him., Captain Brock is the g randson of the late distin guished Admiral Lord DeSaumarez, and we think the service will admit that a better selection at this juncture . could not have been made for the special services Te quired to be performed. We trust that the gallant officer's work will be in the Black Sea.—Morning NAVAL IN-TELLIGENCE.. PORTSMOUTH, DEC. 22. The Fairy Royal yacht, Capt..the Hon. Joseph Den man, embarked the Queen and pond this morning. at Cowes, about half-past 10, on their return to Windsor ' for the Christmas. Her Majesty was saluted on enter ing this harbour by the flag-ship Victory, • 104, Captain Sir Thomas Maitland, C. 8.; 'Neptune, 120, Capt. Scott; and Frolic; 16; Commander Nolloth, all the ships and vessels under the pennant in port.being dressed in mast head flags.' On diseinbarking from the Fairy, her Ma jesty was received by Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Coch rane, K.C.8., Major-General Simpson,..B6c. The guard of honour was furnished by the 35th Regiment, and was commanded by Major English. At a quarter-past 11 tthe Royal train left the Clarence-yard for Windsor, vid Basingstoke. Our attention was called on this occasion to the very faulty and inconvenient accommodation for the Royal train. It run so close to the reception-rooms, that when the train is long, as it necessarily is when the Royal suite is numerous, the carriage doors cannot be opened unless the train is adjusted to the opening of the facade with the greatest nicety. On the last occasion Lord Alfred Paget had a very narrow escape ; as it was, the door was broken. On another occasion we saw the or namental work of the Royal carriage torn off the top by contact with the edge of the roof of the covered way Ito the landing-place ; and to-day the steps to the coupe of the state carriage could not be let down owing to the wretched construction of the platform. It seems not a little disreputable that while her Majesty's poorest sub jects have in a majority of cases a covered station to alight or take the train at, the Queen is exposed to cold and wet for the want of similar accommodation. A well got up "yarn" about a snake having issued from a seaman's mouth in the Royal Naval Hospital at Haslar having obtained extensive circulation, we are authorised to give it a positive contradiction. The authorities have been much annoyed by numerous letters applying for the particulars. The Princess Charlotte, 104, was removed from the fitting basin on Wednesday evening, and placed along side the dockyard jetty. The Caesar, 90, screw steam-ship, was undocked this morning, and placed under the shears in the factory basin, to further her fitting. The Russian corvette Navarin has hauled off to reship ' her stores from the Blonde hulk, and will go to Spit head, and thence to sea to-morrow, if possible.
