BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, Mrn , 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, - Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Mem ••er of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. 'I he essential object of this treatise is to pint out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of dis •ase known to modern pathologists. Its perusal' is • particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical c..ndition, end 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-induigence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitternessmay be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot arply a cure.

(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN, in moving a vote of thanks to Sir H. Rawlinson, congratulated the socieiy that it possessed a member who was so competent to illus trate the subject on which he addressed them by his own personal experience. Mr, CRAWFURD asked Sir H. llawlinson how be could bring himself to believe that Alexander could have founded a colony in such an unhealthy place as Mohammerah, where the thermometer was at 130 degrees? Sir H. RAWLINSON replied that it was an his torical fact ; and not only did Alexander found a colony there, but he named it Pellwan, after his native place Pella, in Macedonia.

The de ceased, who was a most experienced diver, having been employed in recovering th e R o y a l George, went under water about nine o'clock this morning, and made the usual signals for some time. After being down about half an hour, it was found that he did not reply to the signals, when he was imme diately drawn up, and was discovered to be quite dead, there being a quantity of water in his diving dress. An inquest was held on the body this even ing, when, after hearing the statement of Major Has , ard, and the other o witnesses, the jury returned a verdict that the deceased was accidentally drowned. The Melville, two-decker, fitting as an hospital ship, for China, was taken out of dock to-day.

Halli day, has left Cork for Athlone 300 strong. The company which was stationed at Spike Island was relieved by one of the 99th Foot. The service companies of the 36th Regiment are expected to arrive from America in the latter part of this month. They are to land at Portsmouth. The 3d L;ght Dragoons are expected daily to ar rive in Cork from Cabir, in the room of the 13th. Half a company of Artillery left Cork on Thurs day, under. command of Captain Blackburne, for Limerick. The screw corvette Malacca, 17, Capt. Farquhar, arrived at Spithead yesterday forenoon from the Mediterranean. She left Malta on the 15th April, and Gibraltar on the 29th. She brought 20 soldiers of various regiments from Malta, 10 Sappers and Miners from Gibraltar, 2 women, and 6 children.

On the Ist inst., in lat. 37.0, lono'. 10 0, exchanged numbers with the steamship Golden Fleece; on Sun day, West of Scilly, exchanged numbers with her Majesty's ships Exmouth and Colossus, under can vass ; on Monday, off Scilly, spoke the brig Moun taineer, 55 days from Gibraltar, and supplied her with water. The Malacca has sailed for Plymouth, taking round supernumeraries. The United States steam frigate Niagara passed the Wight yesterday for the Thames, to ship her portion of the Atlantic telegraph cable. The Hotspur, Indiaman, one of Smith's sqadron, passed the Wight yesterday from India for the Thames. She experienced strong easterly winds for 14 days. She passed the Southampton India man, bound up Channel, and a large quantity of shipping. Among her passengers are Major Ricketts, Captain B. P. Reid, Messrs. B. Frazer, C. W. Janvrin, L. North, F. W. Goldsworthy Brownlow, &c. The screw steamship Exmouth, 90, Capt. Harry Eyres, which arrived with the Colossus at Ply mouth yesterday morning from Lisbon, struck the ground about three miles north of the Lizard on Tuesday morning, during a dense fog, and was for a short time in some danger. She was under sail with a light wind from south-west, and was sup posed to be in a fair course for Plymouth Sound. At 9.15 a.m. land was suddenly discovered right ahead. The Exmouth was put about, and when in the act of going round took the ground forward; sails were loWered, and she fell off immediately into deep water. The anchor was let go in seven fathoms, steam got up, and within a few minutes of 11 o'clock the ship was out of danger. The star board fore boiler was bulged by the concussion, and some of the bolts• are bent, which makes the boiler leak. It is supposed that a portion of the false keel forward has been knocked off, and that some of the bolts connecting it with the keel have been loosened, as the ship has a leak averaging an inch per hour. The tide was in the last quarter of the ebb. Land was first seen at 6.30 a.m., and the course marked at 8 a.m., when they were about 15 miles south of the Lizard. A strong northern current is supposed to have put the ship out of her Course. The erection of the new slips at Pembroke dock yard is proceeding rapidly. Their length is very great, in order to meet the increased size of our modern men-of-war. The beds are of limestone, with solid copings of granite. The widening and lengthening of the dock are actively being carried out, and this year are to cost 20,0001. It is pro posed that the navigation in front of the dockyard shall be materially improved by being both widened and deepened. Large quantities of mud in banks have been for many years accumulating, and these are to be removed. The mud between the' Car Spit and the dockyard is to be scoured away. The extension of the sheds seaward is proceeding ra pidly, as also the erection of the various new workshops, 45c. The sum to be expended this year on the extension and improvements at this dock yard cannot be less than 100,0001. THE LATE LOSS OP LIFE IN TOTTEN HAM-CJURT-ROAD. INQUEST ON THE FIVE BODIES. Yesterday afternoon .Mr. G. S. Brent, deputy coroner for the western division of the county of Middlesex, opened an inquiry at the Lord Wellino-- ton, University-street, New-road, respecting the deaths of Frederick Bing, aged 24, shopman ; Ann Driscoll, 26, servant ; Richaid Turner, 30, carpen ttr ; John Gurnett, 29, carpenter ; and G orge }Civil,' 28, labourer ; the five victims of the falling on Saturday last of the premises of Mr. Maple and Mr. Hunter, furniture dealers and upholsterers in Tottenham-court-road, the published details of which have caused the most painful sensation throughout the metropolis. The inquest was or iginallyappointed to take place at 11 o'clock ; from that hour until one o'clock, the time ultimately fixed for Vie commencement of the inquiry, a vast number of persons flocked to the inquest-room, , and congregated in its immediate locality. • Mr. Hardinge. Gifford, barrister, instructed by Mr. J. W. Chamberlain, appeared on bilhalf of the repre , entatives of the deceased Bing. Mr. Maple, Mr. Raggett, his surveyor, and Mr. Taylor, builder; Mr. Hunter, Mr. Redding, surveyor, and Mr. John son, build-r, were represented by Mr. Cooper. Mr. Henry Baker, district surveyor, Mr. Reeve, surveyor to the etropolitan Commissioners of Police, and others who evinced deep interest in the proceedings were pre3eut during the inquiry. • Inspector Checkley, of the E division, was pre sent to watch the proceedings; - by the direction of the Commissioners of Police. It was intimated to our reporter that the Right Hon. Sir 13. Hall, feeling a• deep interest in the proceedings, had at an early hour yesterday morn ing personally inspected the ruins. Previous to the jury being sworn, Mr. Brent ex pressed a desire to offer a few observations. It was with deep regret he had to announce the absence from town of the coroner, which was occasioned by the serious illness of Mrs. Wakley ; the sad event had detained the coroner at Brighton for some days past. Yesterday he (Mr. Brent) had the advantage of seeing Mr. Wakley, who came up to town ex pressly to confer upon the present inquiry, but was compelled to return immediately, and Le (Mr. Brent) expected momentarily to hear of the demise of Mrs. Wakley. Under these circumstances he wished to put it to the jury before they were sworn whether they would prefer for the present merely to view the bodies in order that they might be identi fied and interred, and then to postpone for a fort night the taking of evidence, by which time he trusted they might have the advantage of the pre sence of Mr. Wakley. If, however, the gentlemen summoned were of a different opinion, he was quite prepared to proceed with the evidence. Mr. Dyke, a juryman, was of opinion that whilst no doubt it would be found necessary to adjourn the inquiry, still a fortnight would be too long a time to keep parties concerned in suspense. After some observations from the foreman, it was determined to proceed with the inquiry. The jury was then duly impannelled, and having selected Mr. James Linton, of Bath-place, New road, as their foreman, proceeded, accompanied by the deputy coroner, to view the bodies, and then to inspect the scene of the catastrophe. After an absence of nearly an hour, the jury re turned and answered to their names. The following is the panel : Mr. James Linton, 14. Bath-place, New-road, foreman • Mr. Alexan der Watson, 20, Euston-place ; Mr. Robert Pollock, 15, Osnaburgh-street • Mr. William Dyke, 21, Grafton-street East ; Mr. Thomas Alvey, 16, How land-street ; Mr. William Purkis, 6, Cain-place, Kentish-town ; Mr. Septimus Battam, 160, Totten ham-court-road ; Mr. John Eeles Lawford, 15, Tottenham-court, New-road ; Mr. J. T. Rothwell, 27, London-street ; Mr. S. Wills, 8 6 , Tottenham court-road ; Mr. H. Matthew, 59, Warren-street ; Mr. B. Winter, 27k, Charles-street, Hampstead road ; Mr. S. Rogers, Cleveland-street ; Mr. T. Thomas, 101, Stanhope-street ; Mr. G. EH, 5, Tottenham-court, New-road ; Mr. G. Bossom, 2, Tottenham-court, New-road. W. L. Bing deposed as follows :—I live at Can terbury, and aria out of business, but was formerly engaged by Mr. Maple. The deceased F. Bing was my brother, he was employed as shonntan to Mr. Maple, and lived on the premises. I 'last saw him alive on Thursday week—he was then well. I have been employed on the premises myself fqr 14 years and a month, and lived in the house for 12 years. The place was always considerel perfectly safe. Abby Driscoll identified the body of Ann Dris coll as that of her sister. Ann Turner, having been sworn, identified the body of John Turner, as that of her husband, who was a carpenter in the emplopntent of Mr. Taylor, the builder. The deceased John Gurnett, also in the employ ment of Mr. Taylor, was identified by his wife, Sarah Gurnett. She had heard her husband speak of undermining and putting a girder in which he could hear it crack. Did not hear him say that it was dangerous, or she would not have suffered him to go to work iu the same place. Alfred Barnes, bricklayer, in the employment of Mr. Johnson, builder, identified the body of George Kivil, who was to the time of his death, a labourer in the employment of Mr. Johns o n. Was at work with deceased from six in the morning un til the occurrence took place. He was at work on Mr. Maple's side of the party-wall,' on the ground floor. The body was found dote to the basement of the party-wall on Mr. Maple's side. Joseph White, labourer, of 4, Prince of Wales'- passage, deposed that he was e mployed by Mr. Johnson, and was at work on the premises at the time of, the accident. He escaped by running across the road. After the houses fell he assisted two others in getting out some of the bodies ; soon after there were a great many more helping. He got out Bing, who was lying quite dead, in bed, under the lead flat. He appeared to be pressed to death, there being nothing between him and the lead flat but a sheet and a blanket. Alfred Barnes recalled—The whole of the bodies were taken out from about the middle of the ruins. Wm. Price Jones, M.R.0.5., sworn, deposed as follows—l am medical resident of the University College Hospital. The bodies of the four deceased were brought to the hospital quite dead. The cause of death in four cases was from suffocation. There were no marks of external injury. There was great lividity about the head. All the internal organs were healthy, and showed the cause of death to be suffocation merely. In the case of Ann Dris coll, I believe that death must have been instan taneous, from laceration of the liver, which was torn into several pieces. There were four ribs broken on one side, and two on the other. In the case of Bing there was no sign of injury either internal or external. The heart was filled with dark fluid blood. J. Gur nett also died from asphyxia. The scalp was corn pletely separated from the skull ; but that was not the cause of death. In the case o George Kivil, in addition. to evidence of suffocation, there was a fracture of the left leg and right thigh ; but death was caused by suffocation. The next witness called was Arthur King, who deposed that he was a bricklayer, in the employ ment of Mr. Taylor. He was engaged on the pre mises on the day of the accident. He was running up some brickwork to strengthen the party-wall between Mr. Maples's two houses. He was at work, with two others, under the direction of Mr. Taylor. By the Jury—ln running up the brick he used Roman cement. It was about 20 feetfrom the street. Examination continued—The first intimation he had of the accident was the rolling down of dust from the party wall. The foreman called attention to it. He said to Johnson's men, "you are cutting away too much brickwork, and we shall have the wall down." 'Did not hear what reply was made to this. The observations were made about five minutes before the wall fell. He saw the party wall on Mr. Hunter's side bulge, and split in the middle. Two men shouted to Mr. Hughes, the foreman at Maple's, and others who're be could see, to get out of the way, as the place was falling. He, witness, ran and made his escape by getting down a ladder into Tottenham -place. Just as he got to the doorway the place fell down with a heavy crash. There were two openings in Mr. Hunter's party wall, one at one end and one at the other, about 4 feet square, as near as he could judge. After some discussion between Mr. Giffard and Mr. Cooper, Thomas Hughes, salesman to Mr. Maple, de posed that be resided on the portion of the pre mises No. 2, Tottenham -place. On Saturday be was on the ground floor looking at the bricklayers making a hole in the party-wall. They were not employed under Mr. Taylor. At 7 o'clock in the morning, there were two at work ; o no was knock ing away with a crowbar to make a hole. The hole that was made about the centre was about 3 feet by 3. Soon after seven, one of the bricklayers called out, " That wall does not look safe ; there is dust coming out of it." Immediately afterwards the same man shouted out, "Pun, run for your lives." All those who were within hearing—about eight or ten—did run, and so just escaped. There were on Mr. Maple's premises at the time about ten per. • sons upstairs, who slept in the house. Up to that day he had no apprehensioroot the promiso being in a dangerous state. He was of ()pinion that the premises fell tbreugh the cutting away of the pal ty wall to make the holes. He did not see a , :y'prack in the wall. None of Mr. Taylor's men were work ing at the same wall where Mr. Johnson's men were at work. There were three bricklayers, two carpenters, and two labourers present. Mr. Tay lor tlineriutended the work himself. By Mr. Cooper—There bad been some altrrat'oes made iu the front of Mr. Maple's sh , T. There was a column removed. He could not say whether a new Bressemer has been put up lately or net. By the Coroner—Had not the least apprehension of any danger until a few moments before the acd dent occurred. _ _ _ In reply to Afr.• Gifford, the coroner stated teat at a later period of the inquiry the professional. gentlemen would have ample opportunity afforded ihem of putting any question they de4ird to the witnesses. The present was a most important in quiry, and: would not be hurried forward. Sp urow Harrison was next examined, and de posed that he resided at Dalston, and was foreman to Mr. Johnson, builder, of the same place. He was at R ork on Mr. Hunter's premises in Totten ham-court-road, on Saturday morning last, in company'with several workmen. He had set the carpenteri to work to fix the joists, and Jones and Barnes, bricklayers, to cut away the brickwork in the party wall ; ie other men were at work on Mr. Hunter's roof. About a quarter past 7he went dowia to the office in the hoarding in front of the building to . make oti,t the time sheet, it being Sa-, turday. At half-past 7he was called out by a man named White, who said he was alarmed at seeing some dust falling over. He (witness) then looked in . from the front of the shops, so that he could see the party-wall, and thought ho saw it cracking. The wall is 14 inches thick. On examining it he fancied he saw it cracking. Kn,owing the state of the party-wall between 146 and 147, be called out to both se , s of men. One of the openings was about five feet by three. The dust came from the party wall between Mr. Hunter's and Mr. Maple's. Im mediately after he called out to the men he beard a crash, and saw the building fall. He then assisted to get out some of the injured persons. Mr. Cooper submitted that it would be most de sirable at th's stage of the inquiry to adjourn the proceedings to a future day. The Coroner had not the least objection to such a course, provided it met the approbation of the jury and others whose attendance would be abso lutely necessary. As he understood that the person who received the notice respecting the condemned wall was present, it might be as well to take his evidence, as it formed part of the narrative in con nexion with the lamentable occurrence. Inspector Checkley stated that it having been intimated to the officer who, served the notice that bis evidence would not be required that day he bad left the court.. _ An adjournment was then agreed to, and the jury having been severally bound in the snm of 501. each to appear at the same place on Friday next (to-morrow), the day's proceedings terminated. Mr. Taylor, son of the contractor, died this morning, making the sixth life which has been lost by this melancholy catastrophe. PERSIA. At a meeting of the Royal Geographical Society, held on Monday evening at their rooms in White hall-place, Sir Roderick Murchison presiding, Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Henry C. Rawlinson, K. C. 8., F. R. G. S., delivered to a large assembly of the members a lecture on Mohammerah and Shat el Arab, with reference to the late operations on the mouth of the Euphrates. After some preliminary business, in the course of which the. CHAIRMAN proposed that Captain Allen Young, who had distinguished himself in the merchant service, and afterwards commanded the transport steam-ship Adelaide in the Black Sea, and who had since volunteered to join the expedi tion and serve under Captain M'Cliutock to search after the relics of the Franklin expedition, should be elected a member of the society; _ Sir. H. RAWLINSON addressed the meeting by observing that he held in his hand a report on Mohammerah and Shat el Arab which ho had pre pared for the information of the Government about 15 years ago, when the dominion of those places was contested between the Persians and the Turks, and when those two Powers had requested the ar bitration of the English and Russian. Governments for a settlement of the matters in dispute. But, as the document to which he alluded treated almost exclusively of dry geographical details, he thought the meeting would prefer hearing a statement of the history and actual position of Mohammerah having inflicted on them a dry list of geographical names. He proposed, therefore, to divide his ad dress into three parts. He would first trace upon the map and explain the geography of Mohamme rah ; secondly, he would give a sketch of its ancient history ; and he would then offer a few observations in reference to the military operations that were now going on there, and especially in regard to the Persian war, as at present conducted by Sir James Outram. Mobammerah was the scene of the latest, and he trusted the last, military exploit of the Brit ish forces against Persia. Although it was a place of considerable interest, he believed that tat the pre sent hour it was but little known. Its position was set forth in a very few maps, and there were not many persons, even among the best informed, who were acquainted with the actual position of the place which had been recently cap tured by the British troops. The first expe dition landed at Bushire, and the second expe dition moved on to Mohammerah, across the mouth of the Persian Gulf to the Euphrates. The only navigable mouth of the Euphrates was at Mo hammerah. It was not practicable in the ordinary acceptation of the term ; it was not like the Thames; it never had more than three fathoms of water, and was generally only from 12 to 14 feet. But very few ves,els could cross the bar of the Euphrates without grounding. The expedition having left Bushire on the 19th of March was not able to at tack Mobammerah till the 26th---.being upwards of a week. The question was constantly asked " Where is Mohammerah ; is it in Persia or is it in Turkey ? " The whole country from Ararat to the Persian Gulf had been scientifically surveyed by English and Russian Commissioners for a distance of 1,000 miles, and the physical or geographical question at issue betweeir Persia and Turkey was whether Mobammerah was on the Euphrates or on the Karoon. It was agreed that the country watered by the Karoon belonged to Persia ; but the question was, as he had just stated, whether 110hammerah was on the one river or on the other. It was fully decided that Mohammerah should be considered as belonging to Persia, but there was reason to believe that that was contrary to geographical accuracy. He hims-lf was of opinion that the place was situated on the Euphrates, and, if so, it belonged to Turkey. Sir H. Rawlinson then read some notes on the history of Mohammerah. It had, as he had already stated, been ruled that Mohammerah was Persian, and the Persians had occupied the place for a certain period, but the Turkish Government was 'never satisfied with that adjudication, and within the last six weeks, when it was known that an expedition had gone forth with the intention of attacking Mohammerah, the Turkish Government entered a protest against it. They did not con sider that they bad lost their territorial claim to that place. Sir Henry then referred to the history of Mohammerah from the earliest times. It was not generally known that Mohammerah was for merly a city of a very famous Greek kingdom, and although it might not have been the capital, it formed part of the kingdom of Karaknia and Messinae. It was a city of great importance, and there were extant coius which issued from its mint. The ground upon which the city stood was formed from alluvial deposits. The present fort 'was a quadrangle enclosure of about 350 yards by 300 yards ' and was entirely destitute of artillery. The town had no natural advantages over Bussorab, but had thriven solely from the uncertainty of its dependence, whether on Persia or on Turkey, and its consequent freedom from a tariff. The object of General Sir James Outram in removing from Bushire to Mohammerah was to obtain a position for' carrying on the war. It was absolutely neces &try that he should secure a strategical basis from which he might advance into the country. Had he remained at Bushire it would have r been a mere idle demonstration. He had no reason to suppcee that a treaty of peace would be concluded at Paris ; his object therefore was to carry on the war with activity d vigour, and the basisforhis operations could or?l;nbe obta'ned at Mohammerah. Igo doubt he believed that by gaining a position upon the Karoon he would have made an impression upon the Persians which would have brought them to reason, and had the war continued he would have gone further into the country. This was, however, now a matter of speculation which he Would not investigate. Hi s own opinion was that the undertaking would have been one of difficulty, but in Oriental cpuntries the PROMOTIONS.

THE FRENCH CORVETTE ARTEMISE.—On Sunday after noon the French corvette Artewise, with her consort L'Agil e , got under weigh in Carrickfergus roadstead, and sailed for Iceland. The captain and officers of the Artemise entertained the Mayor and several of the Har bour Cointnissioners of Belfast at dinner, on board that vessel on Saturday, and reciprocated the hospitalities offered them in elegant style and with cordial good feel jog, BEALTEL OF THE METROPOLIS. (Compiled from, the district returns, with, remarks, by Conway Evans, M. 8., London.) The present sheet takes account of 5,616 new cases of disease which came under treatment in the pauper practice and the charitable institutions of the metropolis during the week ending, Saturday, May 2. It comprises returns for 25 workhouses, for the out-door poor of 32 districts and sub-dis tricts, for 8 general hospitals, 2 special hospitals and asylums, 26 dispensaries, 5 lunatic asylums, 2 schools, 1 military asylum, and 1 prison. The state of the weather has been most unusual for the season of the year. Cold north-easterly winds prevailed throughout the whole week, and on Tuesday night the thermometer sunk to " freezing." The wean temperature was below the average every day in the week, and on some days by as much as ten degrees. The ranges or varia tions of temperature were considerable. Rain fell on several days, but in very swell quantity ; and :n the early part of the week there was a little snow and sleet. It is worthy of note that notwithstanding this unfavourable condition of the weather—the re markably low and much varying temperature—the public health appears to have suffered very little, if at all ; for although returns were received from a greater number of institutions for the week under consideration than the previous one, yet the num ber of new cases of bronchitis and catarrh—diseases which are so frequently associated with an unusual degree of cold and rapid variations of temperature —was only 522 for the week ending May 2, against 515 fur the week ending April 25. The deaths also from these diseases were, as the weekly return of the Registrar-General shows, considerably less nu merous than those of the pi evious week ;" while the mortality from all causes was more than a hundred below the average. Of the 5,616 new cases of disease recorded in the following pages, only 409 occurred in the twenty five workhouses for which returns were received; 2,103 occurred amongst the out-door poor ; 1,866 in the eight general hospitals, and 1,182 in the twenty-six dispensaries. Any comparison between these numbers which may at present be instituted must, in consequence of the new cases of disease admitted into all the metropolitan institutions not being included, be necessarily incomplete. At the same time the re turn contains several points worthy of comment. Seven eases of small-pox are returned this week, 4 of which occurred in the north division of Lon don. In at least one of these cases the subject of the disease was unvaccinated, the patient being, as the officer of health for St. George's, Hanover square, remarks, "an unvaccinated child, 7 years of age." Of chicken-pox 20 cases are returned, more than half (11) of which occurred in the north divisioa. Measles at the present moment prevails to a con siderable extent in the districts of London north of the river, paaticularly in the eastern and central divisions. In the former of these 79 new cases of this disease are returned ; in the latter 23. The officer of health for the Limehouse district states, " that the establishment for pauper children in that district is at present inundated with this malady, above a hundred cases having occurred within the last three weeks, 13 or 14 of which have terminated fatally." The disease appears to be almost limited to the north side of the Thames ; as, though returns have been received from 12 out of the 22, districts and sub-districts south of the river, they record only one case of this affection. In the column for continued fever 151 cases are returned. This number is probably greater than that of the cases of this disease which actually came under treatment in the institutions specified, in consequence of entries of " febricula" being occa sionally included under this head. Of croup 3 cases are returned. Of these 1 oc curred in Bethnal-green, 1 in Whitechapel, and 1 in Woolwich. This disease is probably more inti mately associated with local, and possibly prevent able, conditions than is generally supposed ; and it is hoped that contributors will, so far as possible, investigate and note down the circumstances under which the cases of this malady which they record have originated.

MEDITERRANEAN EXTENSION TELEGRAPH.—The pros pectus has been issued of the Mediterranean Extension Telegraph, with a capital of 120,000/., in 101. shares, and a guarantee from the English Government of 6 per cent. for 25 years. The object is to carry the line, which has already been laid to S ar di n i a , t o Mafia and erfu, where a communication will ultimately be effected with the Euphrates line to India. Its length will be about 700 nautical miles, and a contract has been made for its completion by October next, the manufacturers taking all the risk of laying it down. From the number of ves sels touching at Malta a large revenue is especially con templated from that port. The tariff rates will be fixed with the consent of the Government, and are not to be liable to redUction, except when the profits of the cunt pany shall exceed 12 per cent. Mr. Samuel Gurney is the chairman, Messrs. Ilankey are the bankers, and Mestrs, Mullene, Marbhall, and Daniell the brokers. • The drama and the arts have been nk an irreparable loss—the Princess's was he imminent risk of a conflagration'. \ , It will be remembered that. the " act tiro technically called, is at this theatre a curtain farimft velvet divided in the centre; when this is down it isl6e custom to let fall the " drop" behind it, so as to deaden the sound from the stage to the front. Just before the curtain is raised, the "drop" is pulled up. The act of doing this causes a draft towards the front, which is usually shown by the bellying out of the curtain, like a sail suddenly catching the wind. The fifth act of Richard the Second was just about to commence, and the drop had been elevated preparatory to erawing aide the curtain, when it was disc vered that the current of air suddenly let in had impelled the sides of the curtain against the "floats," or rows of gaslights at the sides, and th tt it had caught fire ! The alarm was instantaneous both before and behind the curtain. The welcknown fearful outcry betokenin g first surprise, then terror, and finally panic —wa s rai ser s among the auciience. Luckily, from behind the scenes, where the most numerous dramatis persona ever known upon a stage were collected—not less than 400 boing engaged in the performance of " Richard the SecJild"— immediate and efficacious aid rushed f while, with a devotedness and a heroic courage beyond all praise, Mrs. Charley Kean—while her husband did all that a man could in assisting on the stage to control and regulate the action of so many well-disposed friends—herself stepped forward in front of the burning curtain, and assuring the audience, by her voice, 11,r earnest gesture, and, above all, by her own noble example that there was no Auger ; that there was no more " fire" than what they saw, and that they would speedily see that " fire" eietinguithed—succeeded in allaying the rising tumult and terror in the front of the house. The audience resumed their seats ; and then might be seen the remarkable spectacle of an audience sitting to see, not the mimic spectacle of, human passa'm and terror, but its reality—themselves, to no small extent, forming a por tion of the drama, and OOOtributing to its interest, and its terror, for it was to save them from what must have been the fatal consequences of a panic under such cir cumstances that /eirs. C. Kean, forgetful of a woman'a fears and her own safety, generously and courageously devoted herself. To tear asunder the curtain quickly, to pull avey,the burning fragments, to cut the re pea that heldriOstiO toe let it fall in one blazing heap upon the stage, waa the work of a few minutes. It was the courage of the in stant, the promptness of those few minutes, and the' ready presence of so many auxiliaries, that saved the • Princess's Theatre—now the only seat of the Britieh. Tragic Muse, the home of Shakspeare, and the treasury , of the fine arts—from the fate of the Olympic Theatre, - The coellagration of which was due to au exactly simi lar accident, which occurred immediately previous to the admission of the audience, and when but three per sons were near the stage. Air. Hodson, the mechanist, the firemen of the house, indeed every person in the establishment, from Mr. Charles Kean down to the very lowest sunernumerary and humblest carpenter, deserve unqualified praise for the courage and presence of mind which they, ono and all, exhibited. The fire was tx tinguished in about seven minutes from the commence ment, if time can be calculated under such circumstances; and order being for a moment restored, Mr. Charles Kean came forward to the front of the footlights, hold ing Mrs. Kean by the hand. A few words, exhausted as he was from excitement and the labour of the occasion, sufficed to reassure the audience, who greeted them both with nine cheers, given " with a will." Among the few words said by Mr. Charles Kean was (the public will be glad to hear) an announcement that so small had been the damags i-ustained that the per formances would continue uninterrupted, and the theatre would re-open this evening. The audience separated quietly, and we are able to say that the whole passed off without casualty of any kind. 4, PER , - :.•-, I - .,„ - ,.'!:‘,: - ''--,./, to,t' Esnl#4oiAg , * , , r.-. , •, ~ '< ptse, !cyer,4l4e'' 1014 c t al: : ; :,' :- •k„r_,' : :-K5:"....-.:- -- w es,,:j" 4.: • -- 7 1111&', ANOTHER ACCOUNT. During the performances last night, between the hours of 10 and 11 o'clock, the numerous persons sitting in the Princess's Theatre, Oxford-street, as well as many of the surrounding neighbours, were painfully excited owing to a report being raised that the theatre was on fire. The alarm ran round the house with the rapidity of electricity, which was greatly increased by the audi ence seeing the front velvet and also the gauze curtains take fire ; and what was still worse, some one in the pit cried out to those in the upper part of the house to escape for their lives. It is hardly necessary to state that such a scene and such an announcement caused a general panic in the house, and men, with their wives and chil dren, commenced to rush out of the different depart ments of the theatre (the worst thing they could do), while Bryanstone, the fireman employed on the esta blishment, ascended the stage and cut down the curtains. During the period the parties were employed in putting the fire out Mrs. Charles Kean came in front of the house, and, with the greatest sang from imaginable, allayed the fears of the remaining portion of the audience by making known that the fire was quite extinguished, and that they were perfectly secure from further dan ger. Several parties, however, who rushed out of the theatre were so terribly frightened that they fainted and were obliged to be carried out of the passages), and the alarm in the immediate vicinity was so great that many persons ran off to call the engines. That of the London Brigade, under Mr. Gerrard, quickly attended, from Wells-street, and was followed by Mr. Connorton, with the West of England engine ; but fortunately, owing to the coolness displayed by Mr. C. Kean, and the exer tions of the men employed iu the houee, the services of the firemen were not required, and we aro happy to say that the mischief done will not interfere with the per formances to-night. Mr. Maddox, the proprietor of the theatre, was insured in the Royal and Scottish Union fire-officee, and it is understood that Mr. Kean, the lessee, was also insured. Sporting Intelligence.
