MEDICAL ADVICE ON THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF YOUTH AND MATURITY. DR. SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37. BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matric , dated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medic Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. AY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on Y the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro duced more misery us 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 torms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal monagement which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its con , equences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any decree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MEItT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and s the 0n 1 2,' legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts Ind 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 thi department of practice, he bas been amply rewarded by the great succe ss that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these ca..es, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and Ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions. At home for con,uitation daily from Eleven till Two, and from Six till Eight. All letters must contain the fee of 1/., and advice and medicines can be forwarded to any initials or address. It is desirable Vitt patients wishing to consult Dr. LA'MERT should first obtain a copy of his work on S". F-P RESERVATION. A Medical Treatise on the Philosophy of Marriage, and Nervous and Generative Debility, illustrated by fifty coloured engravings, and des cribing in detail the various disorders resulting from secret habits and excesses.

BEDFORD-tiQUAICE, Losmote. MEETING of TWO EXTREMES in the WEATHER.—A few days ago deep snow-drifts, tremendous hail-storms, and sharp frosts visited several parts of the country, and at few days' notise were succeeded by the mildest breezes, genial sunshine, and all other warm indications of summer. This is, in deed, a meeting of two extremes in the weather. Such an occur rence creates an extreme demand for seasonable Clothing, thou sands, at the same time, desiring a complete change of Attire. On such occasions the insgnificent and commodious Clothing Establish ment of E. Moses and Sow becomes a public convenience, as well as a great advantage, from the fact of all its departments being separate and complete—distinct, but each communicating—where millions can tie furnished with all the elegancies and novelties of the season, and every fashionable order of Dress, either ready-made or to measure, exhibiting the most superior quality at the lowest prices, these belnr extreme advantages to all classes triumphantly united. These business facilities aro conveniently distributed in the metro• polls; on the East at the Aldg,ate and Minoriea Establishment of E. Mosas and SoN, and at the West End by their Branch in New Oxford-street, corner of Hart-street, each being equally commo dious and always replenished with the most novel and tasteful dis plays of Clothing for all classes.

T HE SOUTH AUSTRALIAN COPPER MINING COMPANY. The Committee of Management have much satisfaction in inform ing the Shareholders that the Company's superintendent and.eagln eers, and mining captain (completing the staff), sailed from the Downs in the Agra, on the 21st inst. The Agra being a fast-sailing clipper, it is confidently expected she will arrivo at Adelaide before the Caroline, which took out the machinery and several of the miners. Those eivatched by the emigrant ship Ramillies, In the early part of February, are probably novV 'arrived at the mines, in structions having preceded them to the Colonial Committee to put the men at work immediately on their arrival. The Annual General Meeting of the Company will be held early In June (as fixed by the Company's ruks), when resolutions will be submitted for declaring the bonus, and for amending the rules of the cost book, to enable the Company to work for gold, or to lease cer tain portions of their property for that purpose to others. J. THOMPSON, Chairman. 17, Gracechurch•street, May 25, 1853. THE FRENCH EMPIBE. come and render to the Turks what they shall have done to the Greeks. A Greek having met a kavasse in the street fired a pistol at him. The kavasse drew his yatagan to strike the Greek. Greeks and Turks interfered in the matter, and the whole city was divided into two camps. Last evening the Governor had a Greek advocate ar rested, who was publicly preaching up in the cafes revolt against the Government. He took for pretext the Jews, and affirmed that he had in his possession books which proved that the Jews offered up the blood of Christians to their God at the festival of Paster. The advocate being a Greek who was not subject to the Porte, the Governor could not punish him, but he informed the Greek Consul of what had occurred, request ing to have him punished according to the Greek laws. In the Island of Chaleis, near Constantino ple, an insurrection burst out during Easter, and occasioned much disorder. Selim-Bey was obliged to disperse the combatants with firearms, and on this occasion the Greeks were more or less badly wounded. At Iconium, in the Island of Marmora, disorders still more sanguinary took place. The Greeks have no, bells to their churches ; they make use of planks, on which they strike with a hammer. The Turkish troops desired to prevent that noise being made, and at last they carried the church by storm, tore down the planks, broke the sacred vessels, and maltreated the priests. On both sides there were dead and wounded. Troops came after wards from Constantinople to restore order. An investigation has been ordered into the matter. The Turkish Government does all it can t9l.)reserve trans iiillity and avoid The Senate met on Monday; M. Troplong in the chair. The President stated:that thirty-one bills had been forviarded to him bytte Minister of State, the examination' of which slionid be confided to five committees to be noMinated in the bureaux. The Senate then proceeded to deliberate on the bill re lating to the Councils of Prud'hommes, and de clared that it did not oppose its promulgation. A similar decision was come to relative to sixteen local bills, as well as to that concerning the trans mission of private messages by the electric tele graph. A number of reports on petitions were then heard, and the proceedings terminated. The Legislative Body met on Thursday; M. Bil lault in the chair. Leave of absence was accorded to M. Geoffroy de Villeneuve. Various reports were presented—one, on the bill to authorise the alienation of apiece of property comprised in the majorat of the Duke de Padoue ; another, on that which prohibits the wearing of arms in Corsica ; and on that, approving of an exchange of property between the State and the heirs of Villpreux. Count de la Gueronniere presented a report on the bill having for its object to again put in force Arts. 86 and 87 of the penal code. The bill to concede the Baths of Vichy was adopted, as was that re lating to the junction railways of the Rhone and the Loire, and that relating to discount banks. The proceedings then terminated. The Moniteur contains a report from M. de Per signy, Minister of the Interior, to the Emperor, propostrg7Thaiii - regulations for the - belt ' ad ministration of the Societe& de Charita - Maternelle, to which the Empress had presented on her mar riage a sum of 100,000 f. The report is followed by a series of regulations, to which the Emperor has affixed his signature in token of approbation. A second report from M. de Persigny follows, ad dressed to the Empress, giving her an account of the manner in which her gift of 100,000 f. has been distributed amongst the 54 establishments of 07tarite Maternelle which are to be found in France. The list of the sums given to each has affixed to it the signature of her Majesty, in token of approval. The intelligence received from theßast, contained in the Moniteur, has had the effect of arresting the downward movement experienced for several days at the Bourse, and at the termination of business a considerable advance had occurred in the quotations of all descriptions of public securities; in the Three per Cents., for cash, to the amount of 85c., and in the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. of 60c.

Four fine Freehold Estates,cornprising 132,02 acres, deserving the attention of the enterprising Capatalist. MR. ROBINS is favoured with instructions to submit to PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY . , June 2, at 12, together or in Lots, The Four singularly-important Landed Estates of the GASPE FISIIERY and COAL MINING COMPANY. Containing altogether 132,6 b 2 acres of land in Lower Canada, upon which the finest timber is growing, exempt from all seignorial rights, and held in free and common soccage, with indisputable titles. In these days of emigration to the West, which seems to offer the greatest attractions to the really industrious, these Estates present to the speculator an unusual opportunity to employ his capital (under the influence and protection of the British Government) with every certainty of a large return 1. The Estate of PA BOS consists of 51,840 acres, near the entrance to the Bay of Chaleur, the boundary commencing at the Great Pabos River, and extending three leagues from the coast into the interior. Several extensive and substantial buildings have been erected at this station for carrying on the fisheries, and are all in good order; and the Estate produces pine, spruce, cedar, and birch. 2. The Estate of NEW PORT adjoins the Pabos Estate, and con tains 10,394 acres. A valuable water-power saw mill has been erected on this property, which is near the fishing establishment of the Company, where capital buildings have been erected well calcu lated for this branch of the business. Pine, spruce, cedar, and birch, are produced on the Estate. 3. The Estate of PORT DANIEL is a good harbour in the Bay of Chaleur, 18 miles west of Pabos, comprising 4,000 acres, well covered with spruce, birch, and juniper. 4. The Estate of BONAVENTURA. comprises G 6,418 acres in the township of Coe and Hamilton, on the Great Bonaventura River, a fine tract of land with pine, spruce, birch, cedar, and juniper. The proposed Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, brought out under the most respectable auspices, both in England and Canada, and sup ported by the Government, and by which Halifax and Quebec will he put into immediate communication with the Railways of the United States, runs in the immediate vicinity of the Bay of Chaleurs, on the borders of which the lands of the Company arc situate.

The Pays and the Assemblee Nationale have both articles on the Eastern Question. These journals agree in thinking that there is no real ground for fearing that a war will arise out of the Eastern question. It is impossible to say to what extent disappointment may carry the Emperor of Russia, but the probability that he will see the necessity of accepting a great deal less than he has asked for, or awaiting for a better occasion to renew his claim, is very great, whether we consider the proverbial prudence of his character, or the particular circum stances which oppose the realisation of his pro jects. There is a general dread of war in Europe. This dread is not founded merely on the convic tion that each power has of the difficulties which it would have to encounter, and the enormous cost of success if it should be successful, but on a more laudable motive—the desire of avoid ing the shame and infamy which would attach to the nation which should, without tho most le gitimate cause, draw the sword, and by a war destroy all the institutions of peace, all the great works of commerce and industry, and substitute for a constantly-improving civilisation the state of things which existed in the days of our compara tively barbarous ancestors. There is, besides, another consideration in favour of peace which must exist strongly in the minds of sovereigns and their councillors. War in the present day would little resemble what it was forty years ago, when the means were so much less efficient. There were great battles and great slaughter then, but it re quired many reverses to exhaust completely the means of the unsuccessful combatant. If an army of 50,000 men came into the field, and was de feated, some 40,000 remained for future efforts ; but now if two armies of 50,000 each were to be on the field, the probability is that the victor would lose two-thirds, and the conquered party four-fifths of its force. Even victory, therefore, would be too expensive for nations to plunge into war as they did formerly. Such is the tenor of the articles which appear in the Paris journals referred to. We read in the _Wats :—" Some new details from Constantinople to the 16th have been com municated to us. Prince Menschikoff has, in fact, quitted Constantinople, leaving a part of the per sonnel of his embassy to conduct business ; but he ar h en e sdo would ltulitaih l ow ' o f o t u thelcdo nt s i un wait lut.st went to Bujukdore, from whe nce h e se nt word that e s c corded a first delay t o th e 14 t h, ill i t s hTahtudas routea after tteifrlol for the t a h t i o 2 g. o l aa t he granted a second to the 20th, which announces a certain hesitation in his mind and conduct. The Russian seven is : only one, ultimatum which was pres en t e d on th e sth contains . It the privileges, ifura virtue of n o b n y e N ' V sßaiudLiias,rafeatlelyr having declared declared that she only w i s h es f or t h e maintenance - porn articlesooand vizirial letters whi c h h ave b een successively granted to them, demands th a t t o guarantee the maintenance of these privile ges , franchises, and immunities, the Po r t e s h a ll s i gn w ith her a conven ahadttiim-smchullerifits immunities, firmans, which the h conven tion or international t rea ty w hi c h shall render these conventions irrevoc a bl e , and shall put th e m out of the reach of the ca p r i ce or ill will of the Turkish Government. It is on that point especia ll y that the refusal of the Sultan is based. To justify this demand Prince Menschikoff stated that here tofore the privileges of the Greeks have only been founded on acts em ana ti ng from the authority of the Ottoman Gover nmen t, which acts, being unilateral, do not def in itively engage the Govern ment, and can alway s b e modified by it ; that it was thus mod t i l fied that concessionshy recent firmans, r m ra aadnes,which have been to the Greeks had been modified in their turn by subsequent firmans ; that these changes authorise the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh not to rely entirely on the Divan, and it is on that account that Russia requires a reciprocal convention—that is to say, a synal lagmatie act. The representative of the Emperor of Russia said, moreover, that the treaty which ho demands would be an act of the same nature as the capitulations which have assured the privileges, hundred ye only to franchises, and immunities enjoyed by the Lati ns . The Porte has energetically rejected this latt er consideration. It has said with reaso n that the a capitulatio ns scanty population i n favour of two o t the three LatinL atin s thou sand souls, whilst the internationa l treat y d emanded by Russia refers to a population of more than eleven millions of its subjects with respect to whom she would be disarmed—and that she cannot consent to such a thing. Assuredly, we do not attempt to dissimulate the gravity of the dissension ; never theless the friends of peace should be re-assured_a friendly arrangem ent is not at all impossible." The Moniteur says :—" The Government has re ceived intelligence from Constantinople to the 19th. Prince Menschikoff had not then left. H e was not any longer in official relations with the Porte, which had refu sed to acce p t his p ro p ositions in the terms in whi ch the y were brou g ht forward. It was, however, thought that the course of nego tiations was not yet closed." A letter from Smyrna of the 11th of May in the Augsburg Gazette, says :—"The disturbance which took place here has now been completely put down. The Governor published an order declaring that any Greek under 18 years of acre using violence to wards a Jew should receive eblows of a stick on the soles of his feet, and any man above that age, 50 strokes. This punishment having been rigo rously applied in every case, tranquillity was soon restored. But the people are still in agitation, for they are convinced that the Russians will soon ITALY. In its sitting of the 23d, the Piedmontese Senate voted the Budget of 1853. The ordinary expendi ture is laid at 127,019,837 f. ; the extraordinary expenses at 23,907,538 f. ; total, 150,927,376 f. ; to meet which, the Budget of receipts only shows an amount of 109,223,934 f. including extraordinary receipts, leaving the heavy deficit of 41,703,441 f. It must be remembered, however, that the Pied montese Government has a large share in the exe cution of railways and other pulic works, which, through a drain upon its finances at present, will be ultimately productive of considerable profit. More over, it is highly probable that a large portion of the works projected for 1853, and included in the Budget, will fall to the share of 1854. In the same sitting, besides voting several bills of local interest, the Senate heard the report on the Savoy Railway, and Count Siccardi's report on the loan of 400,000 f. to the naturalised refugees. This document is entirely favourable to the bill, and eulogistic of the firm attitude assumed towards Austria by the present Government. The sitting of the Chamber of Deputies was entirely taken up with the Army-Recruiting Bill, and a very animated discussion took place on the 98th article, which describes that pupils of clerical semi naries, whether Catholic or belonging to the Pro testant communes of Piedmont, shall be exempt from military service. The Opposition urged that it was a /privilege contrary to the Constitution, which declares all citizens equal in the eye of the law ; that it was odious in its application, inas much as it cast the whole load of the defence of the country upon the laity ; and that it was useless, there being no lack of candidates for the priest hood. It was replied on the Ministerial side that it would not be expedient to lay obstacles in the way of recruiting the clergy, and that a similar exemption was admitted in all countries. It was afterwards proposed on the part of the committee, to grant the Crown the power of fixing annually by a Royal decree to what extent the clergy are to be held exempt. This compromise was adopted by both parties, and the article was voted by a large majority. The Augsburg Gazette, under date of Rome, 16th, says : " The Austrian Government has at length succeeded in introducing some reforms into the Pontifical marine by causing the adoption of the Austrian code of signals. This measure has been called for, in order to put an end to the numerous accidents which occur on the coast of the Papal States in consequence of the signals not being understood. The phenomena of turning tables occupies considerable attention in the Eternal City. The people are at a loss to conceive whether it is a miracle, or whe ther it is only a wonderful affair. A trial was made, a few days since at the house of Cardinal Antonelli, which appeared very satisfact or y to hi s E m i nence . The lower orders of the clergy shrug up their shoulders with pity at the people troubling themselves with such phe nomena.' The Opinione of Turin quotes a letter from Milan of the 22d, confirming the intelligence that the refugees are to be distinguished into three classes, and adding that the delegations have been instructed, in framing their reports on the subject, to bear in mind that it is not within the spirit of the Imperial decree of the 13th of February, 1853, to strike all refugees indis tinctly, but those only who draw pecuniary means from Lombardy, in order to foment civil discord there. Moreover, Count Rechberg is not to rest satisfied with the reports of the delegations, but is also to collect every possible informa tion from other sources. It is also rumoured that Austria will exact from every refugee whose pro perty is under sequestration, a formal declaration on his word of honour that he took no part, either directly or indirectly, in the movement of the 6th of February. Twenty-three political prisoners have arrived at Trieste, from the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom, by one of the Austrian Lloyd's steamers, and have been sent to the fortresses of Laybach, Konig graetz, and Josephstadt. They are principally young men of respectable families. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 22d contain no news. The President of the Council, and the Ministers of the Interior and Finance, had returned from Aran juez. M. Lopez Ballesteros had been elected member of the Cortes for the district of the Prado, province of Pontevedra, the previous election for which had been annulled. The 22d, being Sunday, the Stock Exchange was not open. GERMANY. The King of Wurtemberg arrived on the 21st at Baden, where he will remain a few weeks, under the name of Count de Teck. Domiciliary visits have recently been made by the police at the residences of some students at the University of Bonn, and some prohibited books and pamphlets seized. This measure took place in consequence of orders from Berlin. The Provisional Council of Liegnitz, in Saxony, has just enjoined the local tribunals to give informa tion of any emissaries of the Mormons , who may arrive in their districts, i n o rd er that they may be expelled. The Archduke Maximilian of Austria left Mo dena on the 18th for Vienna. A letter from Vienna, in the Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort, states that several Lombard emi grants have taken steps to be allowed to return to Austria, without being exposed to any penalty, and to obtain the removal of the sequestration from their property. The Government' is stated to be favourably disposed towards these applications. SWITZERLAND. A letter from Berne of the 25th says that M. de Karniki, the Austrian Ambassador, had not taken his departure, but was selling of . his carriages, horses, &c. He contemplates, it was said, taking the waters in the canton of the Grisons. Part of the Austrian Embassy was, as already stated, to remain to dispatch secondary affairs. The Court-martial of Friburg has condemned the cures Deily and Perrier, chiefs of the recent insur rection in that canton, to twenty years' imprison ment with hard labour ; and the other accused to from one to fifteen years' imprisonment. Thesen tences are in accordance with the Federal military laws. The accused have been besides jointly con demned to the costs. MOVING TABLES.—A correspondent of the Manchester Guardian, who is described by the editor as a person who stands second to no individual in that city in point of social position, intelligence, and personal honour, says "I, with three others, utterly disbelieving the reports about moving tables, tried the experiment. A common painted small tea table, having one stam and three feet, was placed on an oilcloth, on which also our chairs were placed. We sat placing the palms of our hands flat on the table near the edge, each person joining the tips of of his own thumbs, and also joining the tips of his little fingers with those of his neighbours, thus forming a circle round the table. In fifteen minutes there was a move ment of the table from right to left, which continued until we were obliged to leave our seats to follow oui hands, which we kept fixed on the table. The motion increased in rapidity, and we became both dizzy from moving round and tired with the circular length of the walk, or rather run. I tried to stop the table by pres sing very heavily and succeeded. It would not go on again, and it was some time before we discovered that the jerk of stoppage had disunited two little fin& . . - ers. Iu a minute after these were rejoined, the table recom menced its rapid motion. We then agreed to wish the table to turn round the opposite way, and it did," ) ;. [PRICE SD. ELECTION OF CHAMBERLAIN. STATE OF THE POLL, FIFTH DAY (MAT 27). THREE O'CLOCK. Sir John K e y 2421 Mr. Benjamin Scott 2407 Majority for Key l4 Throughout the whole of this day the polliu' for the office of Chamberlain was of the most severe character perhaps we should not be far wrong in stating that scarcely has its equal for severity ever been known in the instance of a similar election. Mr. Scott's friends at nine o'clock possessed upon the gross poll of the previous days a majority of 25. Halt an hour after the opening of the poll to-day they in creased that majority to 27 ; at ten o'clock it reached 29 ; at half-past ten, 32 ; and at eleven, 35. From that hour the friends of Sir John Key worked most energetically, the majority of Mr. Scott being gradually reduced to 13, the numbers at two o'clock showing that that gentleman was then so far in advance of his honourable opponent. In order to show the extreme exertions in the meantime, between the hours of eleven and two, made by all parties, it may be be well to say Mr. Scott's votes over Sir John, at half-past eleven, were 31 ; at twelve, 18 ; at half-past twelve, 20 ; at one, 12 ; and at half-past one the same number ; and at two 13. From two to three an unmistakeable rush was made by the friends of Sir John Key, who came to the poll in such numbers, that by half-past two Sir John had obtained over Mr. Scott a majority of 7 votes ; and by three o'clock, the close of the day's poll, the above-named majority of 14. During the day there voted for Sir John Key 361 liverymen, and for Mr. Scott 322 ; total number of voters polled to-day, 683 ; since the commencement of the contest, 4,828. The announcement of the numbers was received with vociferous cheering. Order having been in some degree restored, Sir John Key and Mr. Scott addressed the livery. Both of the gentlemen expressed themselves sanguine as to the re sult being in their favour, but strongly recommended their respective friends not to abate their ardour until the victory was complete. Certainly for many years this contest has no equal. The excitement throughout the City is general, and in the vicinity of Guildhall during the day it was extreme. Everything, however, passed off with the utmost good humour, and all parties retired, evidently determined to do their best to secure the election of their acknowledged candidate. To-morrow (this day)lthe polling will be resumed as heretofore, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, MIT 27.

Carnegie, was taken out of dock on Monday, and had her steam up in the basin for a few hours on Wednesday afternoon. She was taken out of the basin yesterday afternoon, and went down the river at a quarter before 4 o'clock in charge of Lieutenant Robertson, of the steam department afloat, and having on board Mr. Atherton, chief engimeer at Woolwich Dockyard ; Mr. Hughes, Assistant to the chief engineer at Somerset house ; Mr. Field, of the firm of Maudsley, Sons, and Field, the constructors of her engines ; Mr. Henry Maudsley, jun. ; and Mr. Kitto. Captain Fulford and Lieutenant Towsey, studying steam at Wo olwich, also went in her to witness the working of the engines. The draught of water of this fine frigate, equal in size to many of the old 50-gun frigates, was 17 feet 3 inches aft and 14 feet 6 inches forward, and her screw 14 feet 1 inch in diameter, and in the line on length of keel 2 feet 10i inches, with a pitch of 17 feet 6 inches. The means of disconnecting the propeller is by a T head or propeller boss, drawn out of the clutch on the end of the shaft by raising the propeller. The mode of raising the propeller is very simple, the tackle being over a cross-head to the capstan. The engines are of 350-horse power, with tubular boilers level with 14 feet 6 inches water line. There are 12 furnaces, and only one funnel, 5 feet 34 inches in diameter, and 48 feet in height above the fire-bars, constructed on the telescopic principle, and so placed that the mainmast is 41 feet clear abaft from it. The engines are very com pact and work on the direct-action principle, and made from 62 to 64 revolutions per minute, the contract num ber being 60. The anxiety to get the Tribune to Sheer ness, to have the officers and crew of the Horatio turned over to her, so that she may be made ready for sea with the least possible delay, caused her departure from Woolwich before the constructors of her engines had time to adjust the various parts of the engines at moor ings, as is usual ; however, they worked very well, and the vessel was brought up at the Lower Hope, in Sea reach, for the night, and was to be tested to-day between the Nore and Mouse lights, to ascertain her speed. DEATH OF CAPTAIN PIIGET.—We regret to have to announce the death of Captain William David Puget (1841), which took place on Thursday, at his residence, St. John's-wood. Captain Puget, we believe, was the son of an admiral, unfortunately for him not a lord of the Admiralty. He entered the navy in 1813, and was made a lieutenant after about the same period of service as was deemed sufficient to make Lord John Russell's brother-in-law a captain. As a lieutenant he served in tie Icarus, 10, West Indies ; Wellesley, 72, Brazils ; Spartiate, 74, for upwards of four years ; and as first of the Isis, 50, at the Cape, and was made a commander in 1834. Subsequently he served as commander in the Dublin, 50, South America ; Hercules, 74, on the home station, with Rear-Admiral Berkeley, the only term of home service he ever had, the captain being a favoured family officer ; and lastly in the Melville, 74, with Cap tain the Hon. R. S. Dundas, C. 8., in China. Whilst belonging to this ship he was the chief means of ren dering her serviceable at a most critical period of our hostile affairs with China, by assuming the responsibility of heaving her down and repairing her. With small resources he effected his purpose most triumphantly, and thus the ship was enableA to take au important part in tile early expedition against the Chi nese. Subsequently he obtained great praise for his gallant and zealous exertions at the capture of Tycoek ton, and in the engagement with the forts of the Do l i rr l i , s' an for o u m g ' h h t iu t h o s h e a7e ic r e e s ee l i i v e e received s e cPI errra°ttieoin Juneo of . e ll el' a e n . ;th e in a g li t t h ai a l t i Tigris, which was given to the. i alon.

This town has been thrown into a state of consider able excitement in consequence of the outbreak of a very serious conflagration, which in a comparatively brief period laid in ruins the premises known as the Corn-exchange and Market-house, besides severely damaging several of the surrounding houses. The flames originated in the Market-house, a building between 70 and 80 feet long and nearly 40 feet wide, containing 10 lofts, all filled with wheat, oats, and barley. The building was of great antiquity, and could not fail to be noticed by any one visiting the town, from the fact of its standing on a great number of heavy oaken pillars. The fire was seen at a few minutes before ten o'clock last night, when it was issuing through one of the win dows, nearly facing the Spread Eagle Tavern. An im mediate alarm was given, and messengers were sent for the engines belonging to the town. The progress of tie fire was, however, exceedingly rapid, and before the local engines could arrive, the greater portion of tl * extensive building presented a regular blaze, which ti rew such a lurid glare over the district as to be perceptible for miles distant. Unfortunately, no water is laid on in the streets, so that the engines, although some of Shard and Mason's best London make, could only be set to work from a limited supply of water furnished by the pumps in the yards of the Essex Arms and the Rose and Crown Hotels. The flames being thus almost unrestrained by the antagonistic element, they continued to travel along i until the entire building was wrapped in fire, and even tually the houses opposite commenced igniting. About 23 years since every house opposite the one on fire was destroyed by a similar misfortune, and the Market-house was then partially gutted. The authori ties, fearing that a similar calamity Would happen, sent an electric-telegraph message to London for the aid of the Fire Brigade engines. Two engines were, by order of Mr. Braidwood, the superintendent, dispatched to Euston-square, for the purpose of proceedin g by a special train to the scene of the conflagration. When the fire men arrived -there they were directed to go to the Camden Town station, which they accordingly did, but after remaining there some time they were informed that no trucks could be procured, and the engines were obliged to be taken back to their respective stations. Mr. Braidwood during the day dispatched J. Jarrard, one of the engineers, to look after the salvage and ascer tain the amount of damage done. At noon to-day the ruins were still emitting sheets of fire, and some hours must elapse before the fire is wholly extinguished. The damage done may be thus described : _ . The Market-house burnt down. The contents, con sisting of 90 qrs. of wheat, 100 qrs. of oats, and a con siderable quantity of barley and other produce, de stroyed. The premises of Mrs. Taylor, of the King's Head Hotel, severely damaged by fire and water. The Spread Eagle Hotel, kept by Mr. Coulson, has the windows demolished and shutters burned. The premises of Mr. Hollingsworth, a butcher, are also much burnt, and so are those belonging to Mr. Brunt, also a butcher. Mr. Flexman, a corn-dealer, and Mr. Tigon have like wise lost a great deal of corn, deposited in the lofts of the market-house. The origin of the fire is not precisely known, but there is strong ground for supposing that it was the work of some diabolical incendiary. MYSTERIOUS MURDER AT HOLLOWAY. Mr. W. Payne, the coroner, yesterday held an inquest at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, on the body of James Walsh, aged 54, who died in that hospital from a wound in his abdomen, inflicted by some sharp instrument on the night of the 18th inst. __.. The jury having viewed the body, the following evidence was taken : Mr. Alfred Stephen Wood, of No. 6, Francis-place, Lower Holloway, surgeon, said :—Last Wednesday week, at about a quarter past one in the morning, a man came to my house and rang the bell. I answered him from the window, and asked him what was the matter. He said he wanted me to come and see a man with the belly-ache. I told him to wait and I would come down. When I went down stairs, I again asked him what was the matter, and he said that a man (his father), who was down by the turnpike, had the belly-ache. I told him that I could not go to see a man with the bellyache, but that I would give him some medicine for him. He then said it was a wound he had in the belly from sonic instrument. I then immediately went with him, and a youth, about 17 years of age, to No. 1, Pleasant-passage, Lower Holloway. When we got to the house the door was opened by a young woman, who said the man was very well, and did not want me. The son, however, said, " Come up, sir, and see him," but the woman stood at the toot of the stairs and said that I should not pass. I said " Very well," and turning away said I would return with the police. I left the house and soon met a policeman, when the woman came after me and said her rudeness was owing to her being awa kened out of her sleep. I went back with the police man, and on going upstairs saw the deceased in the first floor front room, on the bed. He was dressed, but his trousers were unbuttoned. I saw a wound in the lower part of the abdomen, on the left side, and on examining it I found there was a great quantity of coagulated blood, which I did not disturb. It was a punctured wound, and was about an inch in length. There were present in the room the policeman, the son, the young man, and an old man, who I understood was the grandfather. I then asked the deceased how it was done, and the son said it was done in a " row" in the court, but when and by whom he did not know. I re marked, "Not by the woman ?" and he said "No ; no one here." The deceased made no answer to my ques tions. I asked him several times, but the son each time answered the same. I advised his removal to the hospital. While the policenion was gone for assistance, the son lighted his pipe, and invited me to do the same. The youth said, " I would not care if I had only seen it done." I asked what it was done with, and somebody in the room said, "A. knife ;" but I do not know who it was that said so. I did not see any knife there, nor was there any blood about the room. His clothes were completely saturated with blood, as were the clothes of the bed on which he lay. I saw no blood on the stairs. If it had been done in the court I think there would have been blood there, unless it had been washed up. Israel Wills, 89 N, corroborated this evidence. Hustings Moore, police-sergeant, 29 N, said he was on duty at the station on the night in question. The son came in and said that his father had been stabbed near the Holloway-gate. Soon after the deceased was brought in and the son went away. He had known the deceased as a private watchman and a shoemaker. Witness said to him, "Walsh, how was it done ?" and lie said, "Oh, Mr. Moore, some woman has stabbed me in Pleasant-passage." Witness said, " I have heard the surgeon has said you will not live; do tell me the truth." He said again, " A woman has done it in Bandyleg row"—Pleasant-place used to be called by that name. He was then sent to the hospital on a stretcher. Benjamin Goodwin, 422 N, said he had made inquiries and had found that the deceased had been at a beershop in the Hornsey-road, between eleven and twelve the previous night. He had been to Pleasant-place, and saw the son there. He said that he came home about one o'clock in the morning, ' when he found his father up stairs. His father said they had done for him. As they were both the worse for liquor he did not take much notice until he saw his father fall down, when he called the rest of the inmates up. Witness then saw a woman, and asked her what she heard of it. She said she heard a noise and went to the deceased, who said that some one had stabbed him. Afterwards, on the same day, he went to the hospital, and asked the deceased again if he could tell him anything about it. He said, "No ;it hap pened in the court in a row." The son, who went with him, asked his father if he could do anything for him, and the deceased only replied, "Don't bother me." He had made every inquiry, but could not find anybody who had heard any disturbance in the court, nor could he discover anything satisfactory. William Walsh, shoemaker, said the deceased was his father ; that his name was James Walsh, and that he was 55 years of age. He saw him about six o'clock in the evening before this occurrence, and saw no more of him until about one o'clock in the morning. He let himself in and went up stairs. His father was then standing in the room, and Mary Fitzgerald was with him, and crying. He asked what was the matter, when his father said that he had been stabbed. Witness asked ba l i s i o m kuelde w r h hm e h r iel e ,w; go n oo dad after thisat a doctor, and don't let me bleed to Witness was at the George public-house, in Cornwall place, till 12 o'olock. After that he sat opposite waiting for the potman, but he did not come out, so he went home. Mary Ann Fitzgerald corroborated the above, with s a a s id d done the exception that she saw the son at the Victoria pub said surgeon, lie-house about nine o'clock, and that she went is had about eleven, and was awoke by the eleceased calling out. He did not m t s e r l a l ini. h te e h r in w , h A o r d e i h d er i y t,. h b o u t t ise h: had e had a c o lo n ck the in lest smidoer.ninlgt. d by ee l‘s e fe a rin s . e Le d ew n w ls brought into the hospital on WednesdayH s w v o ee u k n , d ab in ou h t is tli b re e e lly e good deal.

The deceased refused to look at his son in the hospital, and could not he persuaded to do so. The Coroner summed up the evidence, and The jury returnel a verdict of " Wilful murder against some persons or persons unknown." The police were instructed to use every exertion to trace the murderer, and bring him or her to justice.
