Its perusal is particularly recommended to pereons entertaining secret doubts of their phys.cal c^.nditlon, rnd who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated with out incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc ceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and Its consequences maybe 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. rablishtd tiy Sherwood and Co., 23, Paternoster•row, and may be had of Hannay and Co., 63, Oxford -street; Home, 19, Leicester square ; Gerdon, 146, Leadenhall-street ; or from the Author, who may be consulted daily, from 11 till 2, and from 5 till 8, at his resi dence, 37, Bedtord•equare, London.

PLAISTOW &VICTORIA DOCK MISSION. The prayers and offerings of Churchmen are solicited in aid of an effort to supply the urgent spiritual wants of a newly popu lated district around the Victoria Docks. Within the last fed years the formation of a portion of these Docks and other causes have added a population of about 4,000 souls to the spirtual charge of the Incumbent of St. Mary's, Plaistow. A new town has been commenced on a low and marshy tract of ground ad joining the river Thames, totally undrained, and intersected by stagnant ditches. In a few more years itis probable that this district wilt rival Poplar, Shadwell, Ratcliffe, or St. George's in the number and habits of its population. . . It is proposed at once.to send clergymen to labour amongst these newly-congregated moves, and to increase their staff as circum stances may render necessary. Another generation must not be left to repair the neglect of the present. The object of the appeal is not to apply a palliative of an all but hopeless evil, but to find the means of its prevention, to preach Christ's Gospel to every man, woman, and child in the district, to endeavour to bring all;within the fold of our National Church, to instruct them according to her formularies, and to preserve them in the communion of her faith and wcrship. Ragged -;cbools have been tried elsewhere with success. Why not try Ragged Churches in School-rooms? We propose, therefore, in the first instance, to have SHORT SERVICES FROM THE PRAYER BOOK in our Schools, adapted to the capacities of toe untaught poor with lectures on popular subjects, musical and other entertainments. The Lord Bishop of London has given his cordial sanction to the work, and has undertaken, at the earnest solicitation of the promot ers of the mission, to select the clergy, when funds aro provided. To old us in our difficult task special donations are required for the necessary outlay for Missionary Stations, Schools, &c. ; and also regular subscribers, to enable us to support an adequate staff of teachers, clerical and lay. It is intended at an early date to submit the scheme to a general meeting. Further particulars will be given by the Rev. R. W. B. Marsh, Incumbent of St. Mary's, Plaistow ; Antonio Brady, Esq., Mary land- Point, Stratford, Essex, Treasurer; or the Rev. Alfred W. Mason, Stratford-green„ by whom donations or subscriptions for five Years will be thankfully received; or at the Bank of Coatts and Co., 5 9, Strand; or Messrs. Dimsdale and Co.. 50, Cornhill, to the ac count of the Plaistow and Victoria Dock Mission. 140 MORE PILLS NOR ANY OTHER MEDICINE OR CON STIPATION, INDIGESTION, DYSPEPSIA, NERVOUS, BILIOUS, AND LIVER CO MPLAINTS, COUGH, ASTHMA, CONSUMPTION, AND DEBILITY.

Under the especial patronage of Her Majesty the QUEEN and H.R.H. PRINCE ALBERT. Notice is given, that applications for tickets for places, reserved andnumbered as stated, ale one guinea each for each performance, or at two guineas and a half for ono place for the series of three performances, can now be re ceived, and the places secured in 'numerical 'order, at the Crystal Palace, or by letter addressed to the Secretary there ; at the Temporary Offices of the Company, 79, Lombard street ; and at the Central Ticket Office, No, 2, Exeter-hall. The seats which are at present disposable consist of four blocks of 500 places, each in the most eligible position in the xentre of the , zreat Transept, the front row being about 40 feet, and the back 140 feet from the conductor's seat. These 2,000 seats are all equally good, and no one place has any ad vantage over any other. Parties applying at present can secure their seats being within these four blocks, but until the arrangements are more perfectly matured it is impossible definitely to particularise position. In allotting seats to those who shall have applied before the 20th of April, pre ference must be given to those who take sets of seats for the three performances. N.B.—No application can be attended to unless accompanied by , a remittance for the price of the paces applied for.

NAval and Moicary intiingevee. The head-quarters, staff, and A and B troops of the 3d Dragoon Guards loft Chatham yesterday under the command of Col. J. Dyson, Capt. H. Marsh, and four subalterns, for Canterbury, where they will join the re maining troops of the regiment, recently arrived from Dublin. The Scorpion, 6, surveying,vessel, Commander J. Par sons, arrived at Chatham from the West IndiA on Wed nesday night, having been towed up from the Noro by the African steamer. The Scorpion, on arriving in the Medway, was inspected by Captain Lord Frederick H. Kerr, of the Waterloo, 120, who mustered the craw for the purpose of exercisingthem in various manoeuvres, all of which were performed in a satisfactory manner. As soon as her stores have been removed jet() the dockyard she w:11 he stripped and paid off into ordinary. One of the Australian line of emigrant vessels, the Ad miral, now lying at Deptford, is ordered down to Wool wich te-day to ship Ordnance stores, and also to embark Captain A. J. Clerke, Lieutenant E. D. Malcolm, Lieu tenant G. D. Pritchard, and the 23d Company of the Royal Engineers for China. Tile Admiral has been especially selected for this purpose by reason of her spa cious accommodation and healthily arranged decks (7i feet in height), essentially requisite in the present emer gency, when the transports will be retained in the ser vice as local quarters for the troops on arrival at their destination. On account of the lofty build of the middle deck, it has been found necessary to erect a range of extra beams, in order to sling the h6mocks in an avail able position. The steamship Lebanon arrived at Woolwich yesterday morning to embark four .companies of artillery, and a provision of war stores for Canada and Halifax. In con sequence of the paucity of hands reserved in the Mili tary Store Departments of Wool vich Arsenal, according to the limited arrangements provided by the estimates granted for the ensuing:yetke the work of chipping `l tl preg4saingieloisrjr.e.,tnotwithsfaek4joso the most active tx.eitions oven beyond office hours. Toe' Violet freightship, having shipped a portion only of her heavy cargo for China, about 800 tons, was yesterday morning haulsd off the pier to give place to the more urgent nett ssity of lading the Lebanon and the despatch of the Engineers. Captain Leopold GrimstOn Paget, with the officers and gunners composing the R field battery of instruction, re cently formed at Aldershot, arrived last night at head, quarters, WoolWich, and joined their battalion to be prepared for foreign service. The horses were disposed of among the troops and batteries serving under Colonel Warde at Aldershot. Yesterday morning a party of 20 junior officers of,the Royal Artillery assembled in the mortar-ground at Woolwich, and performed a two-hours' course of 8, 10, and 13-inch mortar practice, firing over-a range of 600 yards. The point to which the fire was directed was a flagstaff planted on the frequented part of the common. To obviate the possibility of accidents from the near ap proach of the spectators, a range party of gunners was in attendance. Immediately preceding each discharge I of the heavy ordnance the precautionary signal was given by a party of drummers on duty for that purpose on the I spot. • The Hastings, 60, screw blockelaip, Waffeommissioned yesterday at Portsmouth by Captain H. B. Mends, late of the Royal Albert, for Coastguard serviced with a com plement of 350 men. The Assistance, iron steam troopship, got up her steam yesterday in the ...team-basin at Portsmouth, to try her engines, before being reported ready for commis sion. The Erebus, 14, floating battery, was taken out of the steam-basin at Portsmouth yesterday. The Drake screw gunboat., Lieut.-Com. Arthur, was taken into dock yesterday at Portsmouth to have a false keel fitted. Captain Powell is appointed Fla , - Captain to Rear- Admiral the Hon. Sir F. W. Grey,Te.C.B.., for the Cape and Coast of Africa command. Some important experiments with signal lights for ships in distress were exhibited at Portsmouth on Mon day and Tuesday nights, by order of the Lords of the Admiralty. They are patent detonating and luminous signal=, the invention of Messrs. Langford and Wilder, of Birmingham. They differ from those in use in the fleet in the brilliancy of their light and the rxpense of manufacture. The composition in the patent is inclosed in metal tubes, whereas the common light is inclosed. in paper tubes. On Monday night the steam gun-boat Stork, tender to the Exotllent, went to Spithead about 9 o'clock to test the new invention, under the superin tendence of Capt. the Hon. F. T. Pelham, C. 8., of the Blenheim ; Capt. G. H. Seymour, C. 8., of the Victory; Commander Mackenzie, and First Lieut. 'Lethbridge,. of the Excellent ; and Mr. Richard N ic h o l s , of Birtnizig ham, on behal of the patentees. The light showed itsalf so brilliant and diffused at the distance of five or six miles from the point of observation that it presented the illusion of a ship on fire. Another trial took place on the glacis of Soutbsea Castle on Tuesday night, w;ten the ; great light burnt equally effectively, but the metal tubing drops as the flame burns, and being in a mol yen state presents a " difficulty," as it is liable to burn the deck of a ship or be b;oWn into thainfiammahle and thus uatE-9 as much distres3 as it is intended to .0 taint succour. This, however, the experimentalists state can he prevented. Singular evidence of the nue lesmess ot the common signal light—the blue-light served out to the Preventive Service men for night alarms— was exhibited on the latter occasion. Captain Pel. ham bade the Coast-guardsman on duty at the South sea Castle Station strike his light, to show the dif ference between its power and those under exhibition, when the man made several attempts to comply with the order without success. The light would not display itself, the percussion was damaged, or the composition damp, or some such cause rendered the alarm beacon totally worthless. Further experiments with the patent lights. to burn respectively 2f, 5, 15, and 30 minutes, are ordered by the authorities for further testing the efficacy of the invention-. The extensive improvements which are being carried out at Chatham dockyard; and which are progressing rapidly, will have the effect of making that establishment one of the most commodious in the kingdom. In addi tion to the re-construction and extension of No. 2 slip, which has been lengthened 160 feet, making its total length 360 feet ; No. 7, granite slip, on which the large frigate Mersey is being built, has also been lengthened 60 feet. The whole of these works, together with the erection of a large police-station, will involve an outlay of 59,0001. The galvanised corrugated iron roof over No. 7 slip, erected by Messrs. Grissell, has also to be length. ened upwards of 60 feet, ht an expense of nearly 3,0001. Several hundred convicts are also employed in the ex tension and improvement of the dockyard, the estimated sum for convict labour alone for the current year being '160,000/. The gunboat Algerine, in Woolwich dockyard, com pletely fitted out for, the China expedition, is now ready for gea, and will proceed to Greenhithe to-day to 'oe swung for adjustment.

Cham bers, which left this port yesterday afternoon for Hong Kong, with about 800 officers and men of the 59th and 90th Regiments, most unexpectedly re turned this morning with signals of distress flying, almost to the effect that she was in a sinking state. She left Spithead at about 4 o'clock yesterday, and encountered a dense fog as she, approached the Needles, scarcely half of Ler own length beim: , dis cernible ahead. The lead seems to have been kept going, and 10 fathoms were sounded, when the fog cleared off, and. a ship, was found to be on the Transit's starboard bow. The latter stood on a little further, when seven fathoms were sounded, and another vessel was sighted, and, in order not to give her a foul berth, the Transit still went on, and at length anchored in five fathoms—the officers of the ship congratulating themselves on having so good a position. It was near Hurst Castle, on the Lymington shore. Some coast-guard officers and pilots went off to her to ascertain her name, and told the commander that she was in a capital position. All then went on well, and thearoops turned in and made themselves comfortable. At daylight, however, this morning, it was discovered that the ship was making water fast, and that there was already 5 feet of water in her hold. The anchor was weighed, and on its being sighted it was found to come up with half the stock gone, thus making it apparent that, on the young flood setting in, the ship had been driven on her anchor, and h a d a hole knocked in her bottom. The water by this time had rapidly gained, nine feet being reported. The donkey engine was set to work, and manned by the troops and the crew. The commander then put the ship about, and brought her back to Spithead. In coming up, his signals being seen, the officers of the steam factory went out in a steam tug, and she was ordered into harbour. On coming in she was placed alor,gside the Bellerophon hulk, and the troops disembarked. Five engines are to work ali night in pumping her, so as to keep her afloat till to-morrow, when she ill be docked, artisans being employed all night on the Furious to get that ves sel out of dock. THE GIANT TREES OF CALIFORNIA. In various parts of the world where the primeval forest still prevails, we coma across gigantic trees from time to time, and we desire to put on record some of these nota bilities. Mention was made - a year or two ago of a gigan tic totara t ree , 37 f ee t in circumference,which bad been discovered in the Canterbury settlement; in cutting a bridle track to Akaroa ; and a vessel recently brought home souse splendid pine spars from New Zealand, 100 feet long - In Tasmania there is a mammoth eucalyptus, or gum tree, standing at the foot of Mount Werington, near Hobarton. It is 84 feet circumference at the base, giving a diameter of about 28 feet. A fire has burned a room in it 10 feet by 9, and about 12 feet high, in which 15 people might easily sit down. Its height has been esti mated at- 330 feet ; but a hUrricane recently broke off a large portion of the top branches. In shape the tree is very Else the Eddystone Lighthouse —large at the base and gradually tapering upwards to the first brantb, which is supposed to be 200 feet from the ground. The Wlo ilia' Government parted with proprietorship ofit to the present owner, Mr. G. Huil,'J.P., of Tolosa, by a grant deed in 1820 for 2,560 acres of land, for his services as an officer in the Peninsular war, It is estimated that this tree, if-cut down and sawn into planks, would rea lise, at 15s. 100 feet, 325/. But these are pigmies compared to the forest monarchs which grow on the slopes of the Sierra Nevada, in Cali fornia, about 5,000 feet above the level of the sea, These California monsters are of the same genus, though, per haps, not of the exact species, of the ancient cedars of Lebanon. The California grove is in about the same lati tude, the same altitude (4,500 feet) above the sea, and has - th& same climate as those mighty forests of the mountains of Lebanon froth which King Hiram supplied the timber fur building Solomon's Temple. Of those Lebanon forests only some half dozen gnarled and - shattered relics now re , nain, near the summit of :that lofty „range ; while in California we have a grove of the most magnificent spe -sinless& Onlipil..witti Notesnon and - David. There they have stood; and bare continueatogreew kingdoms, empires ' and dynasties have r i sen an d di sappeare d ; and there they stand, the living patriarchs of 3,000 years To these venerable grants; upon a basis of 73 years, the discovery of America was but an affair of yesterday, and the birth of our Saviour an incident' of some 40 years 1 ; ago! - Drs, Kellogg and Behr, of San Francifr4ea, have named it the Washington cypress (taxodium giganteum.) This world-renowned monarch of the American forest is evi dently of cypress lineage, a species of taxodium of Don. In its early growth it has the foliage of the camuson red wood, or tztodium sempervirens; but asit advances in age the foliage is metatnorplitmed into triangular scale-like leaves, attached by a broad base, with an imbricated arrangement, similar to many species of the cypress and juniper. This towering world-renowned monarch of the Ame rican forest attains to the height of 322 fest, and up wards of 29 feet in diameter, perfectly - symmetrical in all its prpportions. By botanists plants were frequently named after great men. We had Waterloo roads, Wa terloo bridges, Wellington barracks, and Wellington boots, still no plant was celled after the Duke. It was about the time that the Duke was taken from us, and the whole country was lamenting his loss, that. Mr. Lohb discovered this gigantic tree, and sent a specimen of it to Professor Lindley, who found it to be a new genus, and who;prefacing the expression with some very grandi loquent largua.ge, said, " Let It be called Trellingtonia gigantea." _ The wood of these trees is as light and buoyant as cork, .and has the colour of cedar, but without its odour. The colour of the bark is a rich cinnamon brown, shreddy fibroue, 1 to 11 feet in, thickness, not unlike that of some of the varieties of the Scotch pine ; but their colour is varied by a, ,sprinkling of rich golden-coloured lichen, which grows naturally on the trunk, and, what is remarkable, the same species of lichen is comnion on the trunks of pines in Swit• zerland. The heart wood is coppery rel and lustrous ; grain straight and easy splitting ; lasting, but soft. About two or three years ago a Mr. Lobe was sent out by Mr. Veiteb, of Exeter and Liendon—one of the most enterprising nurserymen in the worl&—for the pur pose of exploring the vegetable treasures of North Arne ric:s. Mr. Lobe proceeded to the highest range of mountains in California, in which the name of Sierra Nevada, or " snowy mountains," has been given, and when he had attained a height of 3,000 or 4;000 feet, ho found himself in a forest of beautiful firs ; lie slid ascended, and when he attained the height of 5,000 feet, there suddenly burst upon his sight the most magnificent trees ever beheld by man. He was complete ly• lost in admiration of their magnificence and wonder at their stupendous size; he was even more astonished than Bruce when he first saw the sand-pillars moving in the. desert. These trees were of enormous magnitude, many Of them towered up towards the skies some 300 or 400 feet high ; some of them were 30 feet in diameter, and from their trunks planks, might be cut of such a large size that one of theta would floor a good-aizlci assembly room • These trees have all been named by some appropriate and romantic name, a few of which it may no t b e unin teresting to describe. The " Miner's Cabin" Is 80 - ft. in circumference, and nearly 300 ft. high ; it is open in front about 17 ft. The ".Three Sisters . ' are a gronp - erittentlY , grown from the same root, about 300 ft. high and 92 in circumference. Tiaey are perfect and the most beautiful ones in the whole group. The "Pioneer's Cabin" is 150 ft. high ; where the top is broken off it has a small opening through it. The " Old 'Bachelor" is quite a forlorn-looking gentle man, having many rents in his back, and the roughest looking bark in the whole group, and is 300 ft. high, and 60 ft. in circumference. The "husband and Wife" are about 250 ft. high, and each 60 ft. in circum ference. They seem very affectionate, leaning towards each other at the top. The "Family Group" consists of 26 trees, the father, mother, and 24 chil lien. The father, from appearance, was blown down many years ago. This tree measures 110 feet in circumference, and tile supposed height while standing was 450 feet ; the remaining length, where it was broken off by failing against another tree, is 300 feet. It is hollow the entire length, and large enyugh to ride into on horseback. Nearly half the trunk is embedded in the ground, and measures 22 feet in diameter above the surface. The " Hermit" stands by itself, and is 320 feet high, and 75 feet in circumference,' exceedingly straight and symme trical. The " Pennsylvania," so called by two young ladies of Philadelphia, is 24 feet in diameter, and 315 feet high. The "North Carolina" is 21 feet across the base and 310 feet high. The " Green Mountain State" is 22 feet in diameter and 350 feet high. The " Mother and Son" are together 93 feet in circumference ; the Mother is 325 feet high, and the Son 300 feet. Toe "Siamese Twins and their Guardian." The Twins have one trunk, but their bodies are separate at a height of 40 feet. They are 300 feet high. The " Guardian" stands by their side. and is 80 feet in circumference and 325 feet high. The " Old, Maid" stands single in her grief ; her head, unlike any other trunk in the grove, is entirely bare, and slightly bowing. Her height is 360 feet and the circumference 60 feet. The " Adie and Mary" are named after two young ladies who made the first buggy drive to the grove. The trees are nearly 300 feet high and 65 in circumference, and are very handsome. The " Horseback Ride" is an old. faren hollow trunk of 250 feet in length ; -it is separated into two parts. The space ridden through is 75 feet, and is 12 feet iu diameter in the clear. " Uncle Tom's Cabin" is about 300 feet high and 90 feet in circumference. The cabin has a narrow entrance and two and a half feet in width, and will' seat twenty-five persons; it is ten feet high. The " Bride of the Fofest" is not the largest tree, but is noted for having the smoothest bark of any in the grove. It is 280 feet high, and 70 feet in circumference. The " Beauty of the Forest" is 65 feet in circumference and 300 feet high ; it is very straight and slender, and nearly free of limbs ; the top is surmounted with a beautiful and regular green cap. The altitude of the grove is 2,400 feet above Murphy's Camp. In one instance, with great exertions, one of these trees was felled—not . by axes though ; it could not be done by them ; it was effected partly by boring the trunk with augurs, and the wind comi ng t o th e ass i stance of the parties, blew it down, and such was its great weight that a complete trench was made in the ground ; and up the hollow trunk of this tree so fallen a Mr. Lupham, a proprietor in that district, rode nearly 100 yards on horseback. The trunks of some of these trees are nearly as large as the tubes of the Britannia-bridge over the Menai Straits, or the Conway tubular bridge ; and our railway contractors might plant the Wellingtonia gigan tea by the side of any rivers they wished to span with a bridge, then cut them down and let them fall across the stream ; they would carry the heaviest train that could be drawn; but still there is one objection—they would have to wait about 3,000 years before they grew to a sufficient size, and railway companies would scarcely wait so long. An enterprising American has been endeavouring to give us some idea of the enormous size of these trees, having stripped off the layers of the bark of one, which he has built up in a circular form, just as it came from the tree, forming a tolerably-sized apartment. And the seedlings which have been reared from the cones show us the character of the growth and foliage. These trees when of 1,000 years' growth are not old—they are mere boys—old boys perhaps, to our senses, but still boys. They belong to a family the most useful of all forest trees. Deals and pine furnish the timber principally used in domestic architecture, and though our wooden walls are built of oak they cannot be navigated without masts or sticks, as the sailors call them, and what magnificeni, sticks might be cut from someof these trees, which would only be fit for masts for the immense steam vessel build inc, on the banks of the Tham es , an d w hi c h i s expecte d to be launched this year. Unless some of these gigantic forest monarchs are sought out, we know not where masts for this leviathan are to come from. Milton, in his " Paradise Lost," speaks of a tree used by Satan as a lance : " To equal which The tallest pine hewn ea Norwegian shores To be the mast of some groat ammlral Were but a wand." • This may be fitly represented by tho trunk of one of these giant cypresses. The concentric rings or layers deposited by the rap furnish a good chronicle of the age of many trees, and, applying this test to the trees, it appears that they ave. age from 3,000 to 4,000 years of age. These concentric FRIGATES v. THREE-DECKERS. A correspondent, writing to the Times, says :—ln your leading article of the 4th 9n the subject of screw line-of battle ships you observe that the Americans, " instead of providing themselves with a line of three deckers, have built a few frigates of extraordinary armament and great swiftness, and if a vessel like the Niagara should really be found to answer it is expected that she will keep out of reach of a line-of-battle ship and hammer at her from a safe distance with her ptodigious guns?' I be lieve, however, that these magnificent American frigates have not yet reached the speed under steam of our own line-of-battle ships. In a very detailed account of the Merrimac which appeared in your columns when that ship was at Southampton, her speed under steam alone was (I believe, for I quote from memory only) stated to be not 'more than seven knots ; while our own Agameninon, a 91, the first line-of-battle ship built entirely for a screw, attained a maximum speed of 11 knots ; and the French Napoleon, also a line-of-battle ship, reached the extraordinary • speed of 14 knots ; though in this latter vessel it was at an enormous cost of coal, aud . by the sacrifice of a large amount of stowage, in consequence of the groat size of her engines and boilers. Before, therefore, a frigate can keep out of range of a line-of-battle ship she must have a still higher rate of speed, which has not yet been accomplished. Moreover, the heavy guns of.the Merrimac are all made for hollow shot and shell only, and cannot fire solid shot at all. Now the range of guns firing hollow shot is lees than that of solid shot guns, and at long ranges they are far less accurate in aim. lam not able to say what the extreme range of the new American guns is, but I doubt whether it is greater than that of the 95 cwt. solid 68. pounders, one of which, as a pivot gun, each of our line-ofbattle ships is armed with on the upper deck, while I am confident they are not so true in their range. In answer to the above another correspondent writes : Sir, —Observing in your columns a letter signed "P.," which displays considerable ignorance of the subject upon which he writes, I take the liberty of correcting some of his misstatements, which, if allowed to go un contradicted, will tend to mislead the public mind. He is quite correct in stating that the Merrimac is able to steam only seven knots, but she does this on a comparatively slight consumption of coal, and with en gines intended and used merely as auxiliaries, she being full-ship rigged and heavily sparred, even for a sailing ship of her class, and having proved herself a good sailor under canvass alone. The Niagara is of a totally different class of vessel, everything (-afety alone excepted) being sacrificed to speed, her builder guaranteeing her to perform 14 knots under steam power alone, and her armament being com paratively light. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ The ar'lra;ient of the Merrimac in time of peace con sists of 40 guns, throwing hollow shot or shell of the weight of 1,3801 b. to the broadside. She is, however, pierced for, and in time of war would carry 60 guns, when the weight of her broadside would be 2,0301 b. ; but if solid shot were used, which both ship and guns are quite equal to, the weight of her broadside would be 2,4201 b., or somewhat more than the Duke of Welling ton throws from double the number of guns. Of the range I can give no statistics; but would ask " Common Sense" whether a 10. inch gun carrying shot other things- being equal, as they ujidoubtedly are, would throw further I [AnyzansEmEsT.l—The following is net the least remark able aniong the numerous extraordinary cures without medi cine effected . by Da Barry's delicious Health-Restoring Re valenta Arabica Food, of Indigestion (Dyspepsia), Flatulency, Constipation, Nervous, Bilious,and Liver Complaints, Cough, Asthma, Consumption, and Debility:—Maastricht, Holland, Aug. 7,1854.—My daughter Virginie had long been consump tive, with diarrhea and night seats, and was in Julylast reduc ed to such a state of prostration and exhaustion, that our medi cal men agreed there was no hope of recovery left, and that she could not survive many clays.

When one of these aged trees was a seedling, if we turn to profane history, we shall find that then, when it was a young and tender plant, an event took place , which excited as much interest as the seige of Sebastopol—the siege of Troy ; and if we turn to Sacred History, we shall find that it began its life in the time of the Judges ; that it was quite a stripling when David and Solomon ascended the throne of Israel ; that, it bad not much more than finished 1.000 , years of its existence when our Lord came upon the earth —had completed its second thcusand years during the 'dark ages of the Papacy—had reached the age of 2,600 years at the discovery of America, at the end orthe 15th century ; and when the 19th century dawned, oar tree was approaching the end of its protracted life, the same 'century w,hict.t proved so fatal for the th rones o f so man y sovereigns and rulers of the old world saw tick monarch of the American woods fall before the ruthless axe of European aggression. Two of these long-lived tree, therefore, would span the whole period of recorded time from Adam's days to the present. In 1806 Wheeltr's " Botanical Dictionary," describing the cypress, states that one species growing in parts of North America rises in some places to the prodigious height of 70 feet and upwards, and several fathoms in circumference. Now we fine it growing of five times those dimensions.—Building News. THE ;YEW SPEAKER. , (From the Times.) Now that we have our new House of Commons, there comes again the question—Who is to be the new Speaker ? That question is already answered, as far as itcan .be at present, by the selection. of Mr. Evelyn Denison for the Ministerial candidate. The result of a contest, ought to be not only success ful, but triumphant ; and therefore it is an ob ject to start a candidate who will command not only a majekty, but the tirgest possible majority. Two other •riatterhave-been- suggested on theafiniste _rid side,—the Right Hon. M. T. B a i nes - an d th e - Right Hon. H. Fitzroy ; and we will attempt a comparison of all three. The first of these is a man of much ability, and one who has worked hard in his time at secondary posts. His industry and his good.temper, his legal knowledge and his official habits, would have been qualifications for an office which threatens at first to be unusually harassing. More than a quarter of the new House is made up of new members. Whether it be a recommenda tion or not, the country would not have lost by the choice of Mr. Baines either an orator or a man of the highest Ministerial rank. It is some time since he made speeches or entered much into debate, and his present official position must be referred to one of those secrets of statecraft of which the public has not the key. Why men of large private fortune, commercial - origin, more sense than genius, and more ifidnstry than figure, should be selected fur :the Duchy of Lancaster,—an ornamental place with more pay than work,—is a mystery wholly be yond our comprehension. Yet Mr. Baines' and Mr. Strutt before him, seem to have been thought the very men for this • honourable and im portant pest. All that we have said hither to goes rather for the selection of Mr.' Baines ; but -there were, in hii case, two objections, both of a. pr ictical character. In the first place, he is fifty-eight years of age, and does not carry his years well. Now, we have generally got a good deal of work out of our Speakers, sixteen years out of Manners Sutton, and eighteen years out of the now Viscount Eversley. It is an object to have long periods of office, as it tends to the con tinuity of the House. The late Speaker. felt it ne cessary to retire at the age Of 63, and if Mr. Baines had followed his example in that respect he would only give the country five years for his pension and his peerage., • A still more serious Objection was, that Mr. :Baines is so shortsighted that, even with spectacles, he can scarCely see across the House. Now a Speaker, if . no tongue, ought to he all eyes. His eye is his ministerial organ. He has to catch the member's eye, and exchange electric signals of the most rapid and confidential character. Blind men can do many things, but not when they can neither touch nor speak. Mr. H. Fitzroy younger by eight years. He is a man of good presence and lofty b e a r i ng . H e has also the avantage of some . preparation for the office as Chairman of Committees. No one doubted either his ability or his experience ; it was only suggested that his natural warmth and quickness of manner might unfit him for a post which requires imperturbable calmness. The post itself, however, has evidently a large fund of tranquillity for the benefit of its occupants, and a hasty Speaker must be so in spite of circumstances. Mr. Fitzroy may ,or may n )t succeed to the family title ; but, while aome`Anight have objected that he is therefore not the man to choose for the First Commoner in the kingdom, and others might have thought it a gain that he would possibly not entail au addition to the Peerage, it would at all events be very hard that he should be excluded both from the Com monalty and the Peerage, simply because there is a chance of his elder brother, at the age of 53, dying first without issue. As a Liberal Conservative Mr. H. Fitzroy would have united many suffrages, and his would, we think, have been a very good appointment. The candidate on whom the choice of the Go vernment has ultimately fallen, Mr. Evelyn Deni son, has in an unusual degree all those personal advantages which we are accustomed to look for in a Speaker. A tall, handsome man, with a good .voice and manner, must be very wanting to his natural endowments if h e cannot command the at tention and respect of a body of English gentlemen 'Mr. Evelyn Denison, though connected by mar riage with the house of Portland, is a thorough re pressntative of the Corethons of England. His seat for the Northern Division of his county will make him acceptable to the county members. He has sufficient fortune, and is altogether what would be called a singularly unexceptionable candidate, which in these critical days is more than half the battle. In ability he is quite up to the mark— more so, indeed, than his performances in the House hitherto would appear to promise. He is willing to be put in nomination, and will have the support of the Liberal members. It is true he is not 'so young as would be desirable, being in his fifty-seventh year, but he has the look of health and strength ; and his long Parliamentary career, beginning with a severe contest for Liverpool, will be fitly concluded with a peerage. What tells more, however, than all we could say of hini. ii that he will probably be chosen without a contest. It is not for us to pronounce very confidently which of these very dissimilar candidates would have proved the best qualified for the work of com bining the various elements of the new House, com manding their common respect, and moulding the whole into a legislative unity. The task will be one of some difficulty. There never were so many new members. The losses are those of men who have been brought into harness, who have learnt the rules of the House, and submitted to its discipline ; and the gains are problematic. The survivors of the baffled factions may well be furious at the retrospect of their suidial folly, for certainly, if ever men did dig a pitfall and tumble into it themselves, this feat has been suc cessfully achieved by Conservatives, Peelites, and Leaguers. The only chance for those who remain is to recruit their thinned ranks from the 150 new men, and no arts of debate, no powers of declama tion, will be spared to entrap or seduce the more hopeful novices. All this might not bring much work for the Speaker, were it not for that con tinual obstruction which in these days is the great engine of Parliamentary warfare. Everybody now does his best to prevent everybody else from doing anything, in order that no one may be able to make a better list of political merits. The genius of the age is critical and obstructive. Thirty years ago we were pulling down institutions; now we pick plans to pieces, and have the most excellent rea sons, not against all that is, but against all that might be. When Ministers meet Parliament, and gradually unfold their budget of reforms, they will have to encounter a motley . phalanx, earnest no longer in defence of corruption, but in opposition to all possible remedies. Such a cause ha s l ess t o be said for it than even the frantic zeal of those who fought for their ancient strongholds i n th e genera tion gone by. The battle will be wa ge d w i t h l ess heart and less principle. This conflict with obstruc tion it is that awaits Mr. Evelyn Denison, and it will tax all the powers we can find in one man. A per f ec t Speaker, as it seems, is not easily found. When shill we find a fit man for any place 1 It is only some consolation to know that there have be en the sae difficulties b e f ore , an d th a t men h ave i growninto their places. The office not only tries the man; it often also makes him. We ha ve a strong faith in the divinity that hedges round the Speaker's chair. We do not doubt that we shall see the new house yielding its wonted homage to its elected chief, and obeying the national instinct of order. Whence the genius, the vigour, and the patriotism are to come that are to guide the house and inaugurate new measures time alone can show. IRISH A.ll3lY.—The 4th King's Own, now stationed at Enniskillen, will shortly leave that place, in order to embark for the Mauritus, Lieut.-Colonel Williams, corn manding. rec of lon latelY been evidenced Russia. Almost immediately after the death of the Em 'peror Nicholas there ensued, although in the mid dle of a war, a thorough change in the Russian. uni forms. The paluk,altan, (a tunic such as our own military now wears, in imitation of the Prussian waffenrock,) was introduced ; the helmet was for the most pare got rid of, the uniforms of the officers was simplified, almost to unbecomingness, by the abolition of epaulettes and of sashes and tassels, besides a variety of other changes made. It was no secret that the present Emperor, even during his fath er ' s lifetime, had, as Grand Duke, devoted a considerable amount of attention to the subject of uniforms. An album containing drawings of uniforms for each separate arm of the service was spoken of as being in existence, and as baying been from time to time shown to foreign officers who happened to be at St. Petersburg. That even the Emperor Ni&toles himself had at one, time the in-! tention of introducing the plaschtsch, or Russian paletot, after the cut of the French caban, as a sort of half-cloak or surtont, may be inferred from a well-known statuette which represents the Emperor in this costume. In his lifetime, however, the in troduction of the tunic probably was prevented by financial considerations, inasmuch as in a matter of nearly a million of uniforms it would have re quired several millions of ells of cloth. With the accession of , the Emperor 11., however, ( this reason seems to have lost its force ; orders were given for the introduction of ( the polukaftan throughont the army, and those orders were executed even without waiting for the return of peace. And thus the Russian army presents at present a totally different appear ance from what it did during the late war. ( More important than this mere alteration of ex tereals is the very thorough change in the organisa tion of the whole army, which, by th e b rea k i ng -up of the special or separate Dragoon corps and the at tachment of its -component regiments to the light divisions of the various arm& corps, has resumed almost the same form of constitution as it possessed at the death of -Alexander I, with this-difference, ~ however, that at that time 'there stig'existed regiments of mounted Jagers, which have since then been entirely done away with in the Russian army. The alterations that have been effected in the Russian armrare of two kinds—first, those which have simply abolished organisations introduced by the Emperor Nicholas ; and secondly, those which were called for by the progress of experience and development of science in modern warfare, two classes that may be characterised respectively as repeal and reform. To the latter class belongs the ;real increase and improved distribution of the Rifles (sharpshooters) ; to the first the reduction, we may almost say the Abolition, of the " Reserve Cavalry Corps." This body, in its present form, consists only of the eight regiments of the Cuiras siers of the Line, with the Mounted Artillery and the Mounted Pioneers, which remain attached to , them ; but up tei the commencement of the late war the entire "Reserve Cavalry Corps" consisted of— ; 1. A Light Division of the Reserve Cavalry, con . sisting of two regiments of Lancers, two of ilm.sars, and three of Dragoons. 2. Two Divisions of Cuirassiers, consisting of eight regiments. 3. One Division of Lancers, consisting of four regiments. 4. Two Divisions of Dragoons, consisting of eight regiments. A ninth regiment of Dragoons was then and is st-ttioned in the Caucasus. To the above were attached 12 Imunted batteries composed of three divisions of mounted artillery. Of this Reserve Cavalry Corps, consisting, as it formerly did, of 27 regiments, there rem iin, as mentioned above, only eight regiments of Cuiras siers, with four batteries and a division of Mounted Pioneers. Under the Emperor Nicholas this corps of cavalry was cantoned t) the south of Moscow in Orel, Wassnessensir, Tschugujeff, &c., and was an object of special interest and admiration to the military world. The grand field days and manoeuvres which it performed in 1837 revealed a splendid and unique creation—one that seams to be possible only in Russia. What on that occasion more particularly rivetted the attention was the special, or separate, Dragoon Corps, consisting of eight regiments, of 12 squadrons each ; in this creation of the Emperor Nicholas strategists believed they detected an in tention on his part to introduce on to the battle field in any future war a new, or, at any rate, a fresh application of an old element. The original destination of dragoons to serve both as cavalry and infantry, or, in other words, to be a mounted infantry, was intended by him to be revived in this spr•cial corps of Dragoons. The regiments that composed it—the regiments of the Dragoons of the Guard and of the Mounted Grenadiers of the Guard —were so organised that on dismounting they each of them formed a complete battgli,n (or, as we say, regiment) of infantry. Of the 12 squadrons that composed a regiment 10 were distinguished irona the rest as "active," one as reserve, and one as supplementary. Among the 10 "active" squadrons there were two of pikemen, that always remained mounted, and thus the eight regimeuls of Dragoons in their partially dismounted orga nisation formed eight • bat'alions (regiments) of infantry, of eight companies each, together with 16 squadrons of mounted pikemen. By a further sub division of every squadron into dismounters and horse-holders these eight - batt diens wore always provided with , eight detachments of troops, that remained mounted and held the horses ()lithos° that dismounted ; and to the whole body was at tached a battery of flying artillery. The armament of the dragoons consisted of an infantry musket with a bayonet and a cavalry sabre • and side by side with the trumpeters there marched also a pro per complement of drummers, so that the dra goons, once dismounted, could operate in every way like infantry. Everything that the most care ful drilling and training could effect had been at tained by this corps of dragoons, and there were fair grounds f r expecting very remarkable results from the application of such an unusual force— which could not do otherwise than take the enemy by surprise. NeverthelesS, throughout the whole of the cam paign in Hungary in 1849, this corps of dragoons was in no way employed by the Emperor, although there were not wanting opportunities of putting this hobby force that he bad cherished and culti vated for 15 years to the test of the bat:le-field ; nor even when the Russian forces entered Moldavia in 1853 were there any of these dragoons among them. It was not till the Oriental war had attained its subsequ-nt large dimensions that the corps of dragoons was called out for active service, and that, too, not excepting the 11th and 12th squadrons (reserve and supplementary) of every regiment. But even on this occasion it was not called out to act as an entire body, but was split up into parts. The 4th and Bth Regiments (New Russia and Twer) were detached from the corps, and despatched to the theatre of war in Lesser Asia, for the purpose of re inforcing the only regiment of regular cavalry (the 9th Dragoons) that was attached to the separate Caucasian troops; and of the six regiments that re mained behind for the protection of the coasts of the Black Sea and the Crimea none of them came into contact with the enemy. The question, there foro, of whether the peculiar hybrid organisation of this corps of Dragoons would have ever realised the expectations entertained of it must now for ever re main unanswered by any practical test, inasmuch as in the recent organisation of the army this pecu liar corps, as was mentioned above, has been broken u p, its nine component regiments have been sepa rated from the Reserve Cavalry Corps, and have been converted into 18 regiments, which have been formed again into nine brigades. Of these nine brigades the seven first have Nen attached to the six armee corps, and Grenadiel• corps. The two last (Regiments 15 to 18) have been attached to the separate Caucasian corps, in which each of the divisions has been reinforced by a dragoon regi ment. There always were attached to every armee corps a brigade of lancers, and another of hussars, forming the light division of the cavalry ; and now, also, in consequence of the ]ate changes, a brigade of dragoons has been added. The original organi sation of the special dragoqn corps is thus entirely at an end. It remains to be seen whether, in the new attachment of its brigades to the different armee corps , it is intended that it s h a ll mergealto gether in the light cavalry, or retain its original hybrid constitution as mounted infantry.
