These Concerts having been honoured last year by such general approbation, the Directors have en tered into arrangements with Mr. Gye to give a similar Series of Twelve Concerts during the present season. These Concerts will be supported by the following cele brated artistes :—Madame Grisi, Mademoiselle Rosa Deviies, Mademoiselle hfarai, Mademoiselle Didiee, Mademoiselle Parepa, and Madame Bosio ; Signor Mario, Signor Ronconi, Signor Neri-Baraldi, Signor Gardsni. Hgner Graziani, Herr Formes, Signor Tagliafico, Monsieur Zegler, Signor Polonini, and Signor Lablache. The Grand Orchestra of the Royal Italian Opera, with ad ditional performers, and also the celebrated Chorus, are en gaged for the whole series. The musical direction of the whole is in the hands of Mr. Costa, who will himself conduct a portion of the Concerts. With the above assemblage of artistes, it is hardly neces sary for the Directors to state that the performances will be of the highest c'ass, and capable of very great variety. The Concerts will take place on the following Fridays, viz: —May 1,8, 15, 22, and 29 ; June 5 and 26 ; July 3, 10, 17, 114, and 31. The space allotted to the Concert Room last year (extensive as it was) having been found inadequate to accommodate the audiences, the Directors have this season determined to give the Concerts in the Great Transept. The Two Guinea Season Tickets will also be available for these Concerts. Transferable tickets will also be issued for each Concert at 7s. 61 each ; which tickets can be obtained at the Company's offices, or of any of the agents.

BY SAMUEL LA'MERT. M.D., 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall. London, &c., &c. he essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in youth, degradation in Man hood, and pren►ature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any tither class of dis ace known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particulArly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their phys cal c and who, aro conscicays of having hszarded the healh, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there aro principles of personal management which cannot be violated with out Incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc ceed the heyday of incousiderate 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 thereti scarcely any degree of phys'cil infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

So far as pecuniary considerations were concerned, the meeting just concluded was perhaps the most satisfactory since the year of the great match between the Flying Dutchman and Voltigeur. Prooitious weather mate rially contributed to the success of the gathering, whilst the racing excited a most lively interest. The success of Lord Zetland's horse, Skirmisher, on both dam was hailed with acclamation. Loud cheers were raised when the horse passed the post, and were taken up and pro longed when it returned to the enclosure. Lord Zetland who has recently been labouring under severe indispmt tion, was sufficiently recovered to witness the triumph of his colours, and to 'receive the proof which was so nor dielly given of his popularity as a racing man. Skirmisher has now become a prominent favourite for the Derby. Under the persobal superintendence ocf the stewards, the Earl of Scarborough, Mr, W. H. R. Read, and Capt. Christie, the proceedings were most pleasantly con ducted. Mr. W. Nortb, the secretary and 'clerk of the course, carried out the business arrangements with his usual diligence and efficiency.

Allan, whose improvemen's in electric telegraphs have been recently mentioned, has lat-ly occasioned considerable excitement in Paris by the exhibition, at the desire of the Emperor Napoleon, of his electro-magnetic engines, which are unques tionably the most successful examples in existence of the application of electro-magnetism as a motive power. The engines were taken to the Conserva toireldes Arts et Metiers on Tuesday, the 14th ins'., by order of General Morin, the president of the commission appointed by the Emperor to examine and report upon them. On Saturday, the 18th, they were removed to the Tuileries fur the inspec tion of the Emperor. We are not in apo ;Aim; to speak definitely of the result of these investigations, but we have reason to anticipate that the principle of the engines is about to be tested upon a large scale ; and we are so well assured of its soundness that we shall look with confidence for the full suc cess of the experiment. The main feature of Mr. Allan's invention consists in the application of elec tric currents, so as to form several electro-magnets in succession, by means of which several impul , es shall be successively given in the same direction to a rod capable of being moved longitudinally to any extent which may be required. At the commencement of a stroke the first of a set of keepers upon the rod is placed sufficiently near to the first set of magnets to enable them t exert an available force upon it, and io move it through the space that separates them. Therefore, when a current of electricity is applied to this first set of magnets, they accordingly draw down the keeper to them, and move the rod longitudinally through the space just mentioned. The next keeper is, by this means, brought within the same distance from its magnets, and the current of elec tricity is at the same moment cut off from the for mer andapplied to these, whiehtherewon draw tl , eir keeper to them, and move the rod through an ad ditional space or distance equal to the first ; and the other magnates and their keepers will respec tively act in a similar manner in succession, and thus complete the stroke of the rod ; after which the opposite side of the rod will be operated upon similarly, the reciprocating motion thus ottainel being converted into rotary motion by means of the connecting-rod and crank in the ordinary man ner. It will be easily seen that the arrangement of the parts may be readily adapted to all practical purposeA. In fact, nothing could possibly he more susceptible of convenient adapta.ion than these engines, which will work with equal efficiency, whether the series of magnets be either vertical, horizontal, or inclined at any angle to suit the dif ferent circumstances of manufactures, locomotion on land, or the propulsion of vessels. Mr. Allan has also arranged a rotary engine upon analogous principles, and we have seen it produce very excel lent results. —Mechanics' Magaiine. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —The difficulties and dangers of bringing up Infants by hand or wet nurses have been entirely over come by Du Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabica Food, which feeds, strengthens, and removes all those little pains and irre gularities infants are so subject to. The following letters speak volumes :—" Grammar School, Stevenage, 16th Dse., 1850. Gentlemen,—l think it but common justice to you to state that I have used Du Barry's lievalcuta Arabica for the last four months, during which time our infant has never had disordered bowels, from which it had suffered much during the previous six months, whilst being nursed, though every care was taken to prevent it.

The jury returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased died from eating pudding containing arsenic, but how the poison came there was no evidence to show. A circular has been received from the Board of Admiralty, and issued to her Majesty's ships gene rally, that henceforth officers will receive their future pay in ca•=h instead of bills. Remittances may als , be rent to the relatives and friends of the respective crews. The fo'lowing vessels have sailed from Ports mouth for China since last night :—Furious, 17, paddle-frigate Captain S. O s b orn ; Cormorant, 6,_ screw despatch-is -a,', CommandsrSaumarez ; Drake, screw gun-boat ; Janus, screw gun-boat ; and Firm, screw gun boat. The Racoon, 22, screw stsam-corvette, is in tended to be launched at Chatham on Satur- . day afternoon, at half-past one, and extensive' preparations preparations have been made for the accommodation ( f the large number of visitors expected to witue , the ceremony. The Racoon is the largest ship of her class, and differs from the other screw -corvettes in being provided with a spar deck. She has been built in the short space of ten months, and is from the designs of Sir Baldwin Walker, Sutveyor of the Navy. The following are ;her dimensions : Extreme length , Length between perpendiculars 200 „ 0 Length for tonnage l7l „ 9 „ Extreme breadth 4O 4 ~ Breadth of tonnage 4O „ 0 ~ Breadth ronn' - 'ed Depth in hold Burthen in tone 1,462, 21-94. The following will be her armament :-20 8 inch 60 cwt. guns, each 9 feet in length, and two 68- pounder long pivot guns, each 95 cwt., and 10 feet in length. As soon as she has been launched she will be fitted with engines of 400 horse-power, ar d made ready for sea. The Waispite, 50, has been taken into dock for the purpose of being overhauled and undergoing extensive repairs, in order to be made ready for sea. The Tyne, 4, shore-ship, is in dock for the pur pose of being rk paire3. _ Orders have been received at Chatham to lay down two large screw steamers, of 91 guns each, and also a steam screw-corvette of 21 guns, the whole of which are to be commenced immediately. It is also intended to lengthen No. 3 dock nearly 100 feet, in order to admit line-of-battleships to be repaired. Assistance, 6, iron screw troop ship, Commander W. A. J. Heath ; and Adventure, 6, iron screw troop ship, Commander Edward Lacy, are ordered to be rigged as barques, doing away with mizen yards as heretofore. The Sylph steamer landed about 300 of the 72d Highlanders at Portsmouth on Tuesday from Jer sey, and left foethat island a g ain in the afternoon with two companies of Royal Artillery. She will return to Portsmouth with the remainder. of the 72d. The Avon steam-tender landed at Portsmouth On Tuesday the men belonging to that port paid cif from the Nile, 92, at Plymouth, and left yesterday with others belonging to the eastward. The Agamemnon, 91, was undocked at Ports mouth yesterday, and put into the steam basin, where she is being rapidly expe']ited for the ser vice of laying down the Atlautic telegraph cable. The Camperdown, 104, old three-decker, was taken out of dock yesterday at Portsmouth to make room for the three-decker Princess Charloi te, which is to be fitted for immediate commission on the China station as a hcspital sfiip. Her Majesty's screw steam-frigate Doris, lately launched from Pembroke Dockyard, left for evon pert under the charge of Mr. Martyn, of that port, on Tuesday afternoon. The Doris has been jury rigged, and was towed by the steam-ships Sphinx and Prospero, the later vessel returning after as sisting as far as St. Anne's lighthouse, situate at the mouth of Milford Haven. The Doris will have her engines placed on board and will be made ready for sea at Devonport. The large new tidal basin in course of conctruc tion at Chatham Dockyard is progressingirapidly, and, as soon as completed, will afford accommoda tion for line-of-battle ships, which have hitherto seldom been sent to that establishment for repairs, owing to the want of sufficient dock accommodation. The new dock has been built on the site of the old No. 2 dock, and will be of the length of 360 feet, and 92 broad. The foundation of the basin has been laid on beds of concrete, the bottom and sides being built of granite. During the progress of the works considerable difficulty has been experienced from the constant breaking in of the water, but this has been remedied by the erection of two powerful steam pumps, which discharge four tons of water per minute, day and night. As soon as the works connected with the new tidal basin are completed, it is in contemplation to lengthen the adjoining No. 3 dock nearly 100 feet, making its length upwards of 300 feet, so as to admit a larger class of vessels. Messrs. Rigby, the contractors, have also length ened No. 7 granite slip 60 feet, making its total length 330 feet. As soon as the whole of the works intended to be carried out at Chatham Dock yard are completed that establishment will be the most commodious in this country. The Warspite, 50, has been docked at Chatham for the purpose of undergoing extensive repairs and to be fitted for sea. The Hood, 9G, screw steamer, building at Cha tham, is to be completed forthwith and fitted with engines of 600-horse power. A hastening order has been received at Sheerness for the fitment of the paddlewheel steam frigate Terrible, now under repairs in No. 1 dry dock, Sheerness. She is destined to assist the Agamem non in laying down the telegraphic wires between America and Newfoundland. The Terrible is 884 horse-power, she has four cylinders of 74 inches diameter, with 8-feet stroke, and she previous!y worked up to 2,000 horse-power. It is in conse quence of her being fitted with the most powerful engines in our navy that she has been selected for this undertaking. A number of additional artisans have been set on to hasten her fitment. Mr. Allan M'lnnes, chief engineer, has taken up his commission and joined the Vesuvius at Sheer ness. Captain Charles Wise will take up his com mission to this ship this day. Mr. Joseph H. W. Bowman, paymaster Dec. 28, 1853, has taken up his commission and joined the Vesuvius. The new screw steam corvette Scout, of 21 guns, and 400-horse power, arrived at Sheerness yester day from Woolwich, to be placed in the second class steam reserve, under charge of Captain Ed ward P. ilalsted, of the Edinburgh. The Porcupine, 3 guns, paddlewheel steam-sur veying vessel, Captain Henry C. Otter, and her steam-surveying tender, the Seagull, in charge of Mr. Win. Stanton, loft Sheerness yesterday morn in', at daylight for Stornaivay, and thence she pro ceeds to her surveying ground round the Hebrides. The Seagull has been fitted with a pattern engine on deck, for the purpose of gathering in the deep sea head line, the engine occupying a space of only about 2 feet square. It is equal to a 4-horse power engine ; it can be worked to make from 500 to 600 revolutions per minute, and will gather in board 400 fethoms of the line in eight minutes. By this model engine soundings can be taken in deep water in a considerably shorter space of time than by the old mode of gathering in the deep sea lead line by a common hand-winch. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty : Lieutenants —A. Graves and L. Brine, to the Assist- ance ; E. F, Well, to the adventure. Masters—George A. Stabb, to the Adventure ; Dun can J. Louttiii, to the Assistance. Surgeon-Superintendent—Fysher gegus to the Ha milla Mitchell, convict ship. Assistant Clerk—John Ashton, to the Implacable. A GRANDMOTHER AT TWENTY-NINE YEARS OF AGE! A woman who was last week brought before the magis trates of Wigan, for an assault committed upon a neigh bour, affords a striking instance of recklessly early mar riages. She is the wife of Patrick Casey, a tailor. They'reside in Douglas-terrace, Wigan. He is 40 years of age, and she is 29. They were married before she had attained the age of 14 years, and she was a mother at the ago of 14 veers and seven months Since that time she has had 11 other children. Strange to say, the eldest girl, who was 15 years old on Wednesday, wee k , is the:mother of two childreh, the elder of whom is nearly t wo years of age, she having married sar.ier in life than her mother. Mrs. Casey is, therefore, at the age of 29 years, the mother of 12, and the grandmother of two, children. —lllhnchester Guardian.
