The 3foniteur of yesterday publish% the follow ing : The Emperor, by a decree of the 3d of April, 1857, on the proposal of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, has promoted the following English officers and s , )ldiers in the Imperial Order of . the Legion . of Monour : To THE RANK OF COMMAPDIB. General John RI ,Ard Dapuk Royal Artillery. 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 cash inst3ad of bills. Remittances may also be sent to the relatives and friends of the respective crews. The following vessels have sailed from Ports mouth for China since last night :—Furious, 17, paddle-frigate, Captain S. Osborn ; Cormorant, 6, screw des patch-b at, Commander Saumarez ; Drake, screw gun-boat ; Janus, screw gun-boat ; and Firm, sere w•gn n-boat. The - Racoon, 22, screw steam-corvette, is in tended to be launched at Chatham on Satur day afternoon, at half-past one, and extensive preparations have been made for the accommodation (4* the large number of visitors expvted to witness the ceremony. The Racoon is the largest ship of her class, and differs frdm 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, Surveyor of the Navy. The following are her dimensions : Extreme length Length between perpendiculars 200 „ 0 ~ Length for tonnage l7l „ 9 ~ Extreme breadth Breadth of tonnage 4O ,p 0 11 , Breadth moulded 39 99 4 If Depth in hold • Burthen in tons 1,462, 21-94. The following will be her armament :-20 8 inch 60 cwt. guns, each 9 feet in length, and two 68- ponnfieriengitivet gum, each,9s cwt., and 10 feet in length. As soon as she has been launched she will be fitted with engines of 400 horse-power, and made ready for sea. The Warspite, 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 rtpaire3. 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-battle ships 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 for that island again 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 off 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 expedited for the ser vice of laying down the Atlantic telegraph cable. The Camperdown, 104, old. three-decker, was taken out of dock yesterday at Portsmouth to make room for the three-decker Princess Charlo6te, which is to be fitted for immediate commission on the China station as a hospital ship. Her Majesty's screw steam-frigate Doris , lately _launched from Pembroke Dockyard, left for Devou port 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 thb 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 Cliatham Dockyard is progres4ing rapidly, 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 cons ant breaking in of the wat-t', but this has been remedied by the erection of two powerful steam pumps, which discharge four tons pf 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.dook, 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 previously 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, 184 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. Halsted, 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, left Sheerness yesterday morn ing at daylight for Stornaway, 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 gatheringin 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 beworkedto make from 500 t o if the hne in eight m i nu t es . 600 revolutions per minute,. and will gather in bßoya rtdhis4Oo L lt i li o entil s g .D ne soundings can b e ta k en i n 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.

A GRANDMOTHER AT TWENTY•NINE YIIR3 OF Aai A. woes in who Was last week brought before the magi.. trates of Wigan, for an assault committed upon a neigh• hour, affords a striking instance of recklessly early mar. riages. She is the wife of Patrick Casey, a tailor. Theyireside 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 tte age of 14 von-a and seven months Since that time she has had 11 other children. Strange to say, th• eldest girl, who was 15 years old on Wednesday, week; is thOnotherof two childreh, the elder of whom is nearly two years of age, she having married earlier in life than her mother. Mrs. Casey is, therefore, at the age of 29 years, the mother of 12, and the grandmother of two s children. —Manchester Guardian.

So far as pecuniary considerations.were concerned, the meeting just concluded was perhaps the mostsatisfactory since the year of the great match between the Flying Dutchman and Voltigeur. ProoitiouA weather mate rially contributed to the success of the gatlieriog, whilst the racing excited a most lively interest. The success of Lord Zetland's horse, Skirmisher, on both day--, was hailed with acolamation. Loud cheers were raised when the horse passed the 'post, and were taken up and pro• "longed when it returned to the enclosure. Lord Z Aland who has recently been labouring under severe indispos i• tion, was sufficiently recovered to .wituess the triumph 'Allis colours, and to receive the proof which wa4 so cor dially given of his popularity as a racing man. Skirmisher has now become a prominent favourite for the Derby. Under the personal superintendence of the stewards, the Earl of Scarborough, Mr. W. H. R. Read, and Capt. Christie, the proceedings were most'pleaoantly con ducted. Mr. W. North, the secretary and clerk of the course, carried out the business arrangements with his usual diligence and efficiency.

London, &c., &c. '1 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 memature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of die toe known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining - secret doubts of their phys cal c , ndition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the hea , th, 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 wisdorh 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 physic ,1 Infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid o , science cannot &ply a cure.

Allan, whose improvements in electric telegraphs have been recently mentioned, has lat-dy occasioned consideratde 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 toiredes Arts et Metiers on Tuesday, the 14th inst., 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 for the inspec tion of the Emperor. We are not in apo aloe 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 impel-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 to exert an available force upon it, and to 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 audapplied to these, whichthereu ron draw their 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 obtained bAng 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 purposes. In fact, nothing could possibly be more susceptible of convenient adaptation 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' Magazine. [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 Dtc., 1850. Gentlemen,—l think it but common justice to you to state that I have used Du Barry's Revalenta 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. Had I known of your valuable Food sooner it would have saved my infant much pain, and me also the heavy expense of a wet nurse.—l am, &c., ROBERT AMBLER."
