TRAVELLING IN ENGLAND IN THE SIXTEENTH CU. TURT.— Before the revolution the ordinary days journey of a flying coach was about fifty riles in summe r ; but in the winter little more than thirty. The Chester coach the York and the Exeter coach generally reached days during th e fi ne season ; Lond on i n four but a t Ch ristmas not till the sixth day. The passengers, six in number, were all seated in the carriage ; fo r acc i dents were so frequent that it wo u ld have been' most perilous to mount the roof. The. ordinary fare was about 24d. a mile in summer, and somewhat more in winter. —Macaulay. • (Pram the Tines.) We have this day to announce a stop which, simple and unpretending as it may seem, is really a greater move towards a complete unity of our in dependent Empire than the most splendid conquest or the largest annexation. In reply to a deputa tion last Friday the Postmaster-General stated that, as soon as the colonial assents could be obtained and the proper arrangements made, it was intended to reduce the postage of letters for every part of the British dominions abroad to the uniform rate of sixpence the half-ounce. The present average Postage of colonial letters is not less than fourteen pence. What will be gained is the low rate, and and the uniformity, which experience has shown to be scarcely less appreciated than cheapness. Very shortly, therefor e , it will be in the power of any of our readers to drop a letter into the box of the next cottage or in the next street, to his friend on the slopes of the Himalaya, or at Mount Alexander, or at Vancouver' s Island, or at Toronto, with the certainty, as far as the whole power of Govern ment can secure it, of having an answer back at the cost, for the postage of the two letters, of one shilling. The answer from across the Atlantic will probably be within a month, that from Simla or Lahore within three months, and that from the Antipodes within half a year. A party of emigrants sailing this week may hope to arrive at Geelong or Adelaide soon after Midsummer, and about Michaelmas their friends at home, supposing the arrangement com pleted, may hope to receive full accounts of their voyage and safe arrival at the moderate cost of six pence. Let people talk as they please of the sun never setting on our dominions, and of the British flag waving over every sea and every shore, nothing brings before our mind so forcibly the fact that we are everywhere, and that every - where we represent the spirit of progress, as this little type of universal power—this letter given to the village postman in March, with an answer from mid Asia in June. ilie n r r e n is something grand and showy enough in the s that appear from time Ao Aim° in our at. tary and naval journals, giving the stations of our ships and of our soldiers in every part of the world; but the grandeur of the idea is qualified by many painful considerations, for the whole is merely an ill remedy for a still worse evil. But there is no such alloy in the thought that any member of the British Empire, comprehending an eighth of the human species, will be able to communicate with any other within a space of time and at a cost in credible to our forefathers, and even hitherto unat tainable. Considering how much there is that is questionable in our dominion, in its means an d i n its results, it is sati s f ac t ory to: find one means and one result of undoubted advantage to the whole human race, viz., that w e d raw man ki n d together, and bring the whole world, so to speak, within hearing distance. The numerous interests of society and commerce concerned in this measure have been so well repre sented in the deputation to Lord Canning, that little more is to be done than simply recount them. The merchant, with his budget of letters by every colonial mail ; the colonial company, with its agents and its labourers at work in Australia ' • our assur ance companies, with a correspondence all over the world - our hundreds o f th ousan d s o f emigrants, who ave broken the dearest ties to seek indepen dence in the colonies, and whose souls still cleave to those they have left at home ; the great mass of the British public, deeply interested as they are in our colonies and dependencies —such are the inte rests on whom the benefit is conferred, and the bare examination of them will prove that it is not par tial benefit at the cost of the whole community. In this respect the argument is the same as with regard to our inland postage. It is not every man who can write a letter—and many poor creatures scarcely ever receive one—but there is not one of them with out an interest in the spread of information, in the quickening of the whole system, and in the progress of the n a ti on . J ust now the or whole population of these isles, more particularly the working classes, are immensely benefitted by the prosperity of our colonies, by their new sources of wealth, by the stream of emigration that has set in to them, and the consequently increased demand for labour at home. The first claimant on our consideration is the colonist himself, who, with much denial and some risk, has followed fortune to the end of the earth thereby giving up his own immediate share in the great stock and enterprise--the joint inter est and mutual good will of these isles—and leaving the competition less severe for those that remain. From a hungry competitor he has become a wel come customer. He even sends over the means of transporting to the colonies still more of our. over crowded labour. Surely those of our fellow coun trymen who have done this service to their country —a service that many of us could hardly do our selves—deserve every return in our power, and the best, indeed, almost the only return, we can give is to diminish the distance and lessen the separa tion as much as possible. The distance we are diminishing by steam, by the electric telegraph, and 'all the means in our power ; and the other evil of absence, infrequent communication, we are now about to lessen by cheapening the means. The two classes best able to value that cheapness are mer chants, in whose expenses postage forms a consid erable item, and the poorer sort with friends, as most of them have, in the col on i es . T o the la bourer receivin g only 95. or 10s. a week a postage of even ls: is a great drawback from the pleasure of a letter, though it be from a child in Canada or Australia and the news be agreeable. In fact, his children, knowing his poverty, do not write as often they would, and are apt to get out of the way of writing altogether. It is quite evident that so great a change requir ing the co-operation of many establishments and the consent of many authorities could not be effected at once, or even with as much rapidity as our great postal revolution at home. Things can only be put in train for the change, as they will be done immediately. What, therefore, Lord Canning stated to the deputation on Friday was pretty much as follows :—Government will invite the Legislatures of those colonies which have the con trol of their own postal affairs (among which are Canada and Australia), to say whether they will agree to a reduction of postage on the following terms :—The rate upon all letters to be 6d. the oz.—this rate to include all charges, i. e., inland postage in the United Kingdom, sea transit, and inland postage in the colony—prepayment to be optional ; in the case of letters carried by packets supported (as now) by the mother country, the proceeds of postage to be divided in the proportion of sd. to the mother country (Id. for inland, and 4d. for sea carriage), and ld. to the colony ; in the event of the Colonial Govern ment supporting the packet, this proportion to be reversed-; in the case of ship letters, the rat e t o be divided equally between the mother country and the colony (3d. to each), as no expense of sea transit will attach to either • the rate upon all news papers to be Id. The Government expect that before an answer is received from the colonies in question, the examination and revision of the Packet Service Estimate, announced by Sir James Graham in proposing the Navy Estimates on the 18th ult., will be concluded, and that should the answer be favourable they will be ready to act upon it. The colonies whose postal affairs are under con trol of the General Post-office, and with wh o m therefore, no negoti a ti on i s necessary, will not be dealt with until the terms with the with colonies are settled, nor will India be dealt settlement is no longer doubtful • iltill that intended that the arrangement with th o ugh it is precisely the same. The m or e public had made up their postage, and some of the deputation expressed their e to sangialitaeshoafil t i-b u e e a PellnY rate of disappointment freely on this h against this objection that th e nt h _ o r s o e p so: existing; present It was urged be a considerable reduction that uniformity will b on • present varying in place of the and iniaeoensistent scale (which ranges from Bd. from fieli that there will t° nd to nearly 3s. from Ceylon); charge will cover thee certainty, inasmuch as i on , e . ter ; that prob bly a stop, Whole conveyance of the l ea ut check, certainly a very r beaput upon the evasion of postage, "lOW so prevalent a nd . that k it a will have been taken which;ft comparativelystep easy to carry reduction further if e is should appear de sirable.

For a considerable time past it has been rumoured from time to time that the irregu larities of this lady, and the scandal created by her importunities for money at the Tuileries, had given so muchoffencethat she has beenthre,atenedwith ex pulsion fromFrauce ; but although the power of the Emperor is nearly unlimited in such cases as the ex- Tistilsiovi'of 4 fAiiettl - personages, - however high theitt position, or holQver eminent their services, when that expulsion is motive, or the convenient plea of surete publique, there is always some deference to public opinion, even in the highest places, where the person to be expelled is a member of the im perial family, and moreover a female, who has nothing to do with politics. This feeling seems to have influenced the authorities for a considerable time with respect to the Countess de Solms ; but at length they seem to have made up their minds that the lady must be sent out of Paris coute que coute. On the 19th of the present month the Minister of Police sent an order to the Countess de Solms and to her brother, Mr. Thomas Wyse (the eldest son of Sir T. Wyse), expelling them from the territory of France as foreigners. The order was that they should leave Paris in five days, and that they should forthwith apply to the chef de cabinet of the prefect of police for their passports. She re fused to obey on the ground that they were French subjects, and entitled therefore to remain in France, and the lady contended moreover that, even sup posing that she were a foreigner by birth, her hus band being a Frenchman, she was entitled to all the privileges of a Frenchwoman, and could not be expelled as a foreigner. Her husband it appears is absent, and Madame de Solms alleges that she does not know his address. She accordingly pre sented a petition on the 23d inst. to the civil tri bunal of the Seine, in which she states that, having received an order from the Minister of the Police which expelled her from the French territory as a foreigner, she prayed that, in the absence of her husband, the Court atould grant her authority to remain in Paris, in order to give her an opportu nity of legally proving (contrary to the assertion of the Minister of Police) that she was a French woman, and that the Minister of Police should afterwards give her a declaration to that effect. The public prosecutor submitted that the expulsion of the applicant had been ordered as an adminis trative measure, and that the tribunal could not interfere with it. M. Berryer produced Madame de Solms' certificate of marriage, which proved her husband to be a Frenchman, and contended that she could not fall under the operation of a law which was applicable to foreigners only. The tri bunal decided as follows : " Considering that the Countess of Solms demands to be authorised to summon the Minister of Police to de clare that she has the quality of a Frenchwoman ; con sidering that a married woman has no other nationality but that of her husband, that the Countess of Solms cannot be declared French but by having it declared and recognised that her husband is invested with the quality of a Frenchman ; considering that the demand made by the Countess de Solms would evidently lead to a judg ment on a question of position ; that that question essentially interests her husband ; and that, on account of the insufficiency of the documents produced, it is impossible that the latter should be brought into the case in his own name, and according to the ordinary forms ; that it follows that Madame de Solms should call at the time her husband and the Minister of Police, and that, not having done so, her mode of proceeding is irregular ; the tribunal dismisses her petition, and con. •demns her to the expenses." It is evident that the above decision was not on the merits of the case. But there was an evident determination to get rid of the lady. On the very day that the above decision was given the order of the Minister of Police was carried into effect, and Mme. do Solms, with her brother, Mr. Wyse, were carried to the frontier by agents of the police and expelled from France. In these circumstances the case was yesterday brought once mo% before the civil tribunal of the Seine, by M. Berryer. Thus it will be seen that Mme. de Solmslhas been unceremoniously sent upon hertravels in foreign parts, while the French courtsare settling whether, as a Frenchwoman, she has a right to remain in France or not. It is not four years since the marriage of this young lady made a great noise in Paris. It took place with great promp at Boulogne-sur-Seine. It was the first family event that took place after the election of Louis Napoleon as President of the Republic. It was attended by all the uncles of the young lady, the Princes Pierre and Louis Lucien, and by all the other members of the Bonaparte family, with the exception of the President himself, who sent his aides-de-camp to represent him. The lienage of the bridegroom was trumpetted forth by the Bonapartist papers as the highest--worthy, in fact, of the imperial origin of the bride. Though there can be no more' doubt that Madame de Solms is the granddaughter of Lucien Bonaparte, then that Louis Napoleon is the grandson of Josephine, the following are the terms in which the semi-official Patric, in its number of last night, speaks of the affair : " A decision of the Minister of Police ordered the expulsion :from the French territory of Mine. Solna, calling herself the Countess de Solms, and of Mr. Wyse, both foreigners. These two persons assumed, without any right, the name of Bonaparte, and far from respect ing the illustrious name which they usurped, they on the contrary made use of it to indulge in scandalous disorders, and to abuse more easily the credulity of per sons who came near to them. Mme. Solms, in order to oppose this measure, appealed to her quality of French woman, and brought the case before the Tribunal of the Seine, which declared the plea invalid. The decision of the Minister of Police has been carried into execution, and Mme. Solins and Mr. Wyse have quitted France." It is rumoured to-day that Mr. Wyse, Madame de Solm's brother has, as a British subject, applied to Lord Cowley for protection, and that his Excel lency has made representations on the subj ect to the French government. I am, however, not able to say to what extent the report is correct. • MOST CR,IIEL AND EXCESSIVE 1 PIINISIIMENT.—We understand that the boatswain's mate of the Vulture, 6, steam-frigate, who was tried by court-martial for con tempt of Lieut. Mansel's orders and for knocking down the sentry, and sentenced to the outrageously heavy punishment--first, of being disrated from the rank-of first-class petty officer ; second, of receiving three dozen lashes ; third, of twelve months' imprisonment ; at d 4 fourth, of losing all pay and time; itiulTo-bellifsmissect-the. service with disgrace —this man, who committed this act of contempt and violence in a mad fit of drunkenness, had served honourably and faithfully for more than 17 years, without a blot or reflection on his character, and had " very good" certificates from some of the best men in the navy. It is a disgrace to civilisation and to com mon humanity, that a body of officers are empowered by naval law to inflict so heavy a punishment for compa ratively so small an offence. Would that a Mrs. Beecher Stowe could come forward in this country, and hold up to the shame and scorn of the world the out rageous enormities of British naval law in the same forcible and truthful language as the distinguished lady has treated the villanies of the slave law in America.— Morning Herald. It is now reported that Rear-Admiral Corry resigns the command of the Channel fleet to Rear-Admiral Berkeley, C.B. ; and that Rear-Admiral Corry succeeds Rear-Admiral Harvey, as superintendent of Malta Dock yard. Captain Charles Eden, late private secretary to the Admiralty, it is said, will be flag-captain to Admiral Berkeley.—Plymouth, Mail. PROMOTIONS TO THB RESERVED LISTS.—Wo have entered upon the month of March without having had the pleasure of chronicling the promotion of five lieuten ants and five commanders to the reserved commanders and captains' lists. Those promotions were due last month, but like the Royal mails, we suppose we must not look for their arrival until they have been over-due three or four weeks.—United Service Gazette. It is with much satisfaction we notice the recent pro motion of Lieutenant George Henry Rice, R.N., son of our worthy member, E. R. Rice, Esq., to the rank of commander, and we ardently wish the pleasure was un alloyed, but we understand he is now lying dangerously ill at his father's mansion at Dane Court, with very faint hopes of his recovery. The advancement of this gallant young officer to his present rank, is the well-merited re ward of his bravery and skill in successfully leading two storming parties during the advance of the British forces up the Irawaddy. On the last occasion he received a severe wound, and was subsequently attacked by a dis ease incidental to the malignant climate of Burrnah. He has returned home u the only chance of recruiting his shattered constitution ; and we earnestly hope he may yet be restored to health, and his life spared to his coun try and his friends for many future years.--Dover Chronicle. RAILWAY TRAVELLING IN THE GRAMPIANS.—The Aberdeen Railway drosses the Grampian chain of moun tains by a deep cutting through the granite of its eastern limb. During the present storm the trains have been greatly impeded in their progress northwards from the village of Laurencekirk, about 30 miles south of the granite city, and as many as six engines, with trains, were snowed up there in one day last week ; but the storm of Friday appears to have been the most formi dable, and one of the morning trains had a narrow escape from destruction. The train left Aberdeen at 8 . 15, instead of 6.6 a.zn., with two engines and four carriages, the last carrying her Majesty's mail. When the train entered the cutting about two miles from Aberdeen one of the lines was completely snowed up, and the icicles formed by the freezing of the snow water as it ran down the angles of the rocks were hanging in grea t h orned masses, some of them measuring fro m 10 t o 15 feet in length, and tapering to a point.

We have news from Port Royal, Jamaica, to the 30th January. It was stated that the Cumberland, 70, bear ing the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir George F. Seymour, would leave Port Royal forty-eight hours after the arrival of the steamer with the mails now overdue. We regret to state that a serious accident, which resulted in loss of life, occurred on board the flag-ship Cumberland a few days before. A petty officer on board that vessel had ascended the mainyard-arm, and unfortunately fell from thence to the deck, dislocating his neck, which, of course, caused instant death. The term of service of the Persian, 12, Commander Mitchell, having expired, that vessel has been ordered to proceed to England immediately, to be paid off. THE PACIFIC. The commander-in-chief, Rear-AdmiralTh oresby, C. 8., had hoisted his flag on board the Nereus, store-ship, at Valparaiso. Her Majesty's frigate, Portland, 50, flag-ship, Cap tain Chads, having gone to Cape St. Lucas with provi sions for the Thetis, was expected there in February, from Queen Charlotte's Island. The Daedalus, 19, Captain Wellesley, was at Ma zatlan. The Amphitrite, 26, Captain Frederick, was hourly expected at Panama, on the 19th January with a large freight from the coast of Mexico, The Trincomalee, 24, Captain W.I Houston, was at Valparaiso. The Virago, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Prevost, left Callao on the sth January, taking the now consul to the Island Raicatea: The Cockatrice, tender, Master Commander Dalton, was on the west coast of Mexico. The Peruvian frigate Amazonian arrived at Callao on the 7th January. DEATH OF ADMIRAL THE HON. SIR T. B. CAPEL, G. C. B. The death of that gallant, distinguished, and venerable flag officer Admiral of the Red the Hon. Sir Thomas Bladen Capel, G.C.8., has been reported, at the ad vanced age of 77 years. In the course of his career (O'Byrne's epitome, of which we extract) he served actively for 31 years : "The Hon. Sir Thomas Bladen Capel, born Aug. 25, 1776, was the youngest son of William, fourth Earl of Essex, by his second wife, H arr i et, daughter of Colonel Thomas Bladen ; brother of Lieutenant-General Hon. Thomas Edward Capel ; and uncle of the present Earl of Essex, and of Commander A. H. C. Cape t R. N. "This officer entered the navy M arc h 22, 1782, as cap tains servant, on board the Phaeton, 38, Captain Walde grave, on the books of which ship he was borne until April, 1783. He ultimately embarked, Aprill2, 1792, an board the Assistance ; 50, Captain Mansfield, stationed off Newfoundland. There became midshipman, March 1, 1793, of the Syren, 33, Captain John Manley ; and in the Apollo, 28, and with Lord Hugh Seymour, in the Leviathan, 74, and Sans Pared, 80,-of which latter ship after participating, July 23, 1795, in Lord Bridport's action, he was appointed, May 16, 1796, an acting lieutenant. On April 5, 1797, we find Mr. Capel, offi cially promoted into the Cambrian, 40, Captain Hon. Arthur Kaye Legge, employed, similarly with the three ships last named, on the home station ; and next ap pointed, April 12, 1798, to the Vanguard, 74, flag-ship of Sir Horatio Nelson, by whom, in acknowledgment of his services as signal lieutenant at the battle of the Nile, he was advanced, Aug. 4, and sent home in charge of a duplicate of the dispatches, and of the sword of M. Blanquet, the senior French officer surviving.* His com mission was confirmed by the Admiralty Oct. 20 follow ing, and his elevation to post rank effected, while in command of the Alecto, sloop, at Spithead, Dec. 27, in the same year. Captain Capel's ensuing appointments until October, 1814, appear to have been, Jan. 5, 1799, to the Arab, 22, on the West India sta tion; July 19, 1800, to the Meleager, 32, in which he' had the misfortune to be wrecked on the Triangle Rocks, in June at e 9, 18 s 01 ; May 21, 1802, t o thepithead August 24, 1802, to the Phcebe, 36, on the Mediterran ean stat i on, the il e Gulf vol u t o of n Mexico, e , 38, j where, during Nelson's pursuit of the combined fleets to the West Indies, he was left with five frigates and two bombs to cover Sardinia, Sicily, and the route to Egypt, from any troops that might be sent to land in those places, after which ',service he shared i n t h e battle of Trafalgar, and at its close saved from destructi on , by his extraordinary exertions, the prize -ship o f the line Swiftsure ; Dec. 27, 1805, to the Endymion, 40, in which he conveyed the British ambassador to and from Constantinople, and lost, during the hostile operations. carried on at the Dardanelles, where he acted a con spicuous part, and distinguished himself by his zealous attention and assiduity, 3 men killed and 10 wounded ; and Dec. 14, 1811, to La Hogue, 74, stationed latterly on the north coast of America, where we find him in command of a small squadron blockading the enemy's frigatesin New London, and sharinglgenerally in the war fare with the United States. On Dec. 15, 1821, Captain Capel, who had been nominated a C.B. June 4, 1815, assumed command of the Royal George yacht, in which and in the Apollo, another Royal yacht, he remained until advanced, May 27, 1825, to the rank of rear admiral. He was constituted a K.C.B. Feb. 20, 1832 ; and from May 30, 1834, until June 1837, commanded in chief on the East India station, with his flag in the Winchester, 50 ; the rank of vice-admiral was conferred on him Jan. 10, 1837 ; admiral April, 1847, since which he served three years as commander-in-chief at Ports- mouth. " Sir T. B. Capel was one of the officers who sat on the court-martial appointed in December, 1805, to try Sir R. Calder for his conduct on 22d of the previous July. " He married May 10, 1816, Harriet Catherine, only daughter of F. G. Smyth, Esq. By the decease of Sir Bladen Capel, the following pro motions and changes take place : To be Admiral of the Blue.—Vice-Admiral the Hon. G. Elliot, C. 8., vice James Carthew, to be admiral of the white, vice the Marquis of Thomond, to be admiral of the red. To be Vice Admiral of the Blue.—Rear -Admiral Sir W. H. Dillon, K.C.H., vice the Hon. Sir A. Maitland, K.C.8., K.C.M.G., to be vice-admiral of the white, vice * In his dispatch to the Admiralty announcing the Vic tory of tho Nile, Nelson alludes to Captain Capel as a " moat excellent officer," and recommends him to their lordships' notice, BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS. The following testimonial is another proof of the great effi cacy of this medicine : " 157, New Bond-street, London, October 12, 1850. " Sir,—ln acquainting you with the great benefit which I have ex perienced by taking BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, I feel that I am but performing a duty to that portion of the public who may be similarly affected. " About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout in my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every va riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and in Spain, under Sir John Moore. in the 18th Hussars. I always pro cured the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief, and my sufferings can be appreciated only by those who know some thing of this disease. " it was during one of those paroxysms, between twelve and thir teen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S PILLS. I lost no time in procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity the pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect health. " From that moment, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to ate is so valuable, that were it not that the days of magic have ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause. Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suf fered. but en the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS is towards its improvement. "I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result has always been of the most gratifying character. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, " GARRET FOSTER GILL. To Mr. Pront, 229, Strand." For every description of Gout and Rheumatism, Sciatica, Tic-dolo reux, &c., &c., BLAIK'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS are a sovereign remedy, contain neither mercury, opium, or any other dangerous drug, require no care whatever in their use, and for ra pidity of cure and complete safety have not their equal in the world.

MEDICAL ADVICE ON THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF YOUTH AND MATURITT. DR. SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUIRE, 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, Sec., Sec. 70 14- tl Ybe the various consulted, disorders personally, rsofthe nervou or sandge b n y letter, eraties on stem 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 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 Unfruitfhl 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, bow the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely 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 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 regarded 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.

On Thursday a meeting of the general committee of the National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck, was held at the offices, John-street, Adelphi. The chair was occupied by the Duke of Nor thumberland, K.G. We also observed present—Col. Blanshard, R.E., C. 8., Captain Davies, R.N., Admiral Sir T. Herbert, M.P., Captain W, H. Hall, R.N., Cap tain Halsted, R.N., Mr. Edward Hurry, Captain Ingle field, R.N., Captain Jerninghava, R.N., Capt. M‘Hardy, R.N., Mr. W. S. Marshall, Captain Ommanney, R.N., Major Palmer, Mr. James Peake, Captain Perrott, Mr. J. D. Powles, Captain - Washington, R.N., and Captain Ward, R.N. Mr. Lewis, the secretary, having read the minutes of the previous meeting, Mr. Alderman Thompson, M.P., was unaniznously elected chairman of the society, in the room of the late Mr. Thomas Wilson, of Jeffreys-square, who had occu pied that office for nearly 30 years, and had been one of the founders of this noble institution. The Duke of Northumberland afterwards formally handed over to the society the several life-boats he had recently placed on the coast of Northumberland—an act of great liberality on the part of his grace in the cause of humanity, and which the meeting suitably acknow ledged. The committee then proceeded to vote the gold medal: lion of the society, and a small gold boat appended thereto, to Mr. George Palmer, of Nazing Park, in ad miration of the invaluable services the life-boats on his plan, built by this institution during the last 25 years, had rendered to the cause of humanity, the lives of some hundreds of shipwrecked persons having been saved b y them on various parts of the coasts of the United Ki ng dom during that period. The silver medal of the institution was voted to Mr. John Collison, master of the William and Mary, of Stonehaven, in consideration of his gallant conduct on the occasion of the wreck of the schooner Christiana, near that place in November last. The Sillier medal was also presented to Richard Sin nott, coast-guard ceief boatman, of Mullaghmore station; and four sovereigns to his crew of four men, in consi deration of their noble and humane services to a portion of the crew of the Dutch galliot, Ida Gizena. The wreck having been observed about 13 miles distant, the gallant men launched their boat and proceeded through a heavy surf to the scene of the disaster, and arrived just in time to rescue seven poor fellows from an inevi table death, the master and one man having perished before succour arrived. Having got the poor fellows into their boat, each coast guardsman stripped himself of almost everything to cover them, and they brought them on shore after a heavy pull of nearly 30 miles, having the satisfaction that they had saved seven of their fellow-creatures, who must have perished in a few hours but for their gallant exertions. The thanks of the committee, on vellum, were pre sented to Mr. P. O'Sullivan, o f Berahaven, and 31. to a boat's crew, for their praiseworthy services to the crew of the Lady of the Lake, of Bideford, wrecked near that place during a heavy gale on 10th January last. The wreck having sunk the crew succeeded in reaching an isolated rock, which was most difficult of approach with a boat. After repeated attempts for nearly seven hours to rescue the crew a boat at last succeeded in taking them off the rock, and bringing them safely on shore. A reward of 10s. was granted to a coast guardsman, of Greenway station, Sussex, for rushing into the surf to rescue the master of the wreck Mary and Sarah, of Southampton, on the 20th of January. A reward of 51. was granted to the crews of the smacks Emperor and Traveller, for their valuable as sistance to the crew of the barque William and Mary, of London, on the 27th of December, when she was wrecked during the memorable hurricane of that day, on the Goodwin Sands. The crew had been clinging to the rigging for nearly 24 hours, when they were rescued from their perilous position. The medal of the institution was voted to Mr. Wm. Parker, and his brother Mr. John Parker, master and mate of the schooner Pearl, of Exeter, who seeing a flag of distress lying off Flamborough Head, from the brigantine Maria, of Exeter, during the late hurricane, immediately lowered their boat and proceeded to the rescue of the poor fellows, which they happily accom plished. Captain Parker would not entrust his boat to his crew for fear his humane purpose might be thwarted. A grant of 541. having been sanctioned to be paid for repairing the Filey hfe-boat, the meeting separated. It was reported that during the past year about 1,100 wrecks had taken place on the coasts of the United Kingdom, with the fearful loss of nearly 900 lives. It was, however, satisfactory to find that, through the in strumentality of the life-boats of the institution and other means, upwards of 700 lives of shipwrecked per sons had been saved during the same period, and for rescuing whom it had granted rewards. We regretted to observe that, on account of the very limited income of the society, a portion of its already small funded capital was directed to be sold. A NEGRO SERMON.—The discourse from which the annexed passage is taken was actually preached in the town of Zanesville, Ohio, some years ago :—" My dear frens and bredren," said the preacher, "de soul of de brack man is dear to the Lord as de soul ob de white man. Now you all see Judge Harper, a sittin dah leanin' on his gold-headed cane ; you all know the judge, niggers, and bery fine man he is, too. Well, now, I'se gwine to make a little comparishment. Supposin' de judge some fine mornin' put his basket on his arm, and goes to market to buy a piece ob meat. He soon finds a nice fat piece ob mutton, and trots off wid it. Do you s'pose de judge would stop to 'quire wedder dat mutton was ob a white sheep or a black sheep ? No, nuffin ob de kind ; if de mutton was nice and fat, it would be all de same to de judge. He would not stop to ax wedder de sheep had white wool or brack wool.
