I in stantly adopted his advice, and to my joy the excruciating torment soon began to abate, and a few boxes restored rise to health, since which I have had no return of the complaint.

BT SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D.. 9, BEDFORD-STREET. BEDFORD•SQUARE, LONDON. Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall; London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several ecnditions, in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil. which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, In how many could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused, the prolific source of mischief, and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains au accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health, and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the utt7lappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes o disease, sympathy with the sufferer, , and , abo ve all, secrecy, inva f riably characterise the intelligent and practical ph) sician, and to the medical man who can show by his posse-siou of the requisite legal qualifications that he is ensued to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost cra;fidence should be extended. Dr. LA'MEsiT has obtained the highest medical honours, as Ills diplomas testify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experienee, which has reference almost e solely to the treatm en t o f th ese diseases. 52P ra l trnoster-row ; Hannay, 63, ished by the Author, and may be had of Kent and Rich ards, Len a I-street, London ; or , f ree °l b7 p d- street, _ h ll l aymarket ; Mansell, 115, Fleet-street ; Gordon, 146, ead ost Oxford-street; t r y i t , w T o i c e s from the Author, who may be consulted on these disorders persona ll y trest, Bedford-square, London. or by letter, daily, from Ten till Two, and from Five till Eight, at his esidence, 9, Bedford - street, supposing them marri ß e w d A determinel. flues hi .3(14 are desolately s , and be eth E e; the former, and miscalculated hopes ' t ß inna O ri n g e ht hat h A igle sense etcontented.

THE ANTI-GOLD-LAW LEAGUE. Another public meeting, called by the League for the purpose of publishing its objects, was held last night at the London Tavern ;. Mr. Francis Bennoch in the chair. A considerable number of persons were present. Mr. BENNOCII, the chairman, on rising to address the meeting, was received with loud cheers. He began by observing that it was a saying of the late Baron Rothschild, that England, with an ample and sufficient currency, might become the manufacturing country for the whole world, but with a restricted and insufficient currency, the share in the produc tion of manufactures which we already possess must of necessity leave us and go to foreign countries. To so high an authority one would have imagined the Government might have paid some deference, and taken care that this important medium was as ample as the necessities of the country required. The in sufficiency of our currency, he believed, was mani fested to a great degree by the number of competing manufacturers all over the Continent. Even among the wilds of Switzerland they were successfully competing with us, and• the agricultural population of America were striving to make up the deficiency which our own folly, to a great extent, had been the means of creating.—(Hear, hear.) In 1819, instead of carrying out the liberal views promulgated by Mr. Rothschild, the Bank of England fixed the whole of our circulating medium upon the one universal metal —gold. Into that metal every transaction must be resolved, in geld every tax must be paid, every charge of the Customs and of the Excise must be rendered; and when it was found that gold in this country did not represent the one fiftieth part of our mercantile treneeeti9ol-3, ho.v im possible -it - as, with such a medium, to carry on the transactions of the empire.—(Cheers.) Every kind of scheme had been adopted to overcome the difficulty, but nothing had succeeded, and, in his opinion, none could succeed. The Bill of 1819, by converting a debt entered into in paper, added one third to the value and increase of the national debt. —(Hear, hear.) It added one- third to the pur chasing power of all dividends and all annuities pur chased up to that period, and, it had been observed, robbed the public debtor to an equal amount, and laid a burden on his shoulders one-third greater than he had borne before. And what made the burden still heavier was the fact that, previous to that time, our taxer, which were formerly laid on property, hed been repealed, because those in power declared that the war, being over, there was n- occasion for a war tax, forgetting that equitable notion which men of business ought to possess, that so long as the war debt was uncancelled the war tax should be levied, to pay the interest.—(Hear, hear.) Then came the Bill of 1844—a Bill which contracted still more the currency of the country, laying do ern as a principle that 14 millions only should be allowed to circulate, but that was without gold, being on G overnment securities, and every additional million should be issued simply upon every million of gold received into the coffers of the Bank. What were the conse quences of such a restriction ? In times of trouble, of distress, and commercial emergency, discounts ran high, money was only obtained with great difficulty, and the price was raised to an enormous extent, as at the present moment. Then a sudden tide of gold set into this country—it became abundant—nay, it became so abundant that parties were glad to get rid of it, and the consequence was that gold was as low as 2i and 3 per cent., as, in fact, it had been for the last two or three years ; and thus all kinds of specu lations were set on foot for the purpose of having this capital profitably employed. Our currency, it was stated, expanded and contracted according to the emergencies of the country, but this was not so. At the time it should become contracted it expanded, and when it ought to expand to meet the emer gencies of the country then it contracted, and ruieed thousands of persons engaged in commerce and trade. 'This was according to the scriptural injunction, which said, " Give unto him that hath much, and those who have not take away from them that which they have." The argument of Sir Robert Peel in 1844, in favour of his immaculate Bill, was, that it was on the self. adjusting principle —that its process would be rendered steady throughout the whole country—and that it would make trade prudent and unspeculative ; but every one now knew how far this bad turned out to be the CM..—(l - lear , hear.) 01 course, every one, knew that during the last three or four years there bad been no speculation—none whatever—(Laughter)—and they were aware also that_there had been .no overfeeding, and that prices had TefiltiMigre - - - eiiivitifgre-4-13kentiiseaed, Why, the fact was, that his very pinmises had been falsified. Not a single point upon which he founded the greatness and truth of the questi.'n existed which hid not been belied and falsified over and over again. If any proof of this were required, it would only be necessary for him to state that public stock had been reduced at once to 12, 15, and 17 per cent. Consols had been reduced to such an extent that they were now selling at a loss of from 401. to 751. per cent. Coffee, he understood, was also selling at a loss of from 40/. to 601. per cent., sugar from 201. to 401., corn about 30/., wool from 121. 10s. to 25/., cotton from 25/. to 351., and manufactured goods of all kinds and denomina tions were not to be disposed of unless the manufac turer would submit to sacrifice from 151. to 251. per (Hear, hear.) Men wh o h a d been engaged largely eeit in railway speculations were obliged to lose from 30/. to 50/., and even more per cent., and thus were confirmed the extraordinary promises of an un fluctuating currency and a profit to every man who would rigidly adhere to his ordinary busines or calling in the world. During the last twelve months we had sacrificed an amount of money equal to half of the national debt; and these were facts which every man could prove for himself, if he were only to go into the investigation. But the present scarcity would be the means of propelling the tide in the op posite direction. In the course of two or three years, or even perhaps in one year, there most likely would be a glut of gold— a phlethora of gold, and then the money changers, bullion dealers, and capitalists would force the market, and an unhealthy and exotic trade would be introduced which would bring us to an emergency like that experienced at the present time. Now the League believed that the foundation of our monetary system was decidedly unjust, and that so long as this obnoxious measure continued on the sta tute-book we shall be perpetually liable to those dis tressing circumstances. They therefore, at the outset, as the foundation and principle of the League, pro claimed an unceasing warfare to the Bills of 1819 and 1844. The whole, the total, a n d th e uncon ditional repeal of those Bills, they went for, and until they were re pealed they would not stay their agitation—(Cheers) —they would go on educating the public mind upon this important question, and thus they would awe the Government into submission. They would have no tinkering of the old currency kettle! No; if they must have a plaister, it must be a paper plaister. Then, as to gold, there was one question which he must answer. They were asked, " Would you do without. gold ? Would you have a currency without gold ?" To this his answer was, that they could do without gold. They did not pretend to say they could du without gold altogether • they, would have it as a means of exchange, or balance of foreign transac tions, hut they would not take it at a fixed price, but at the lowest price at which it could be purchased. They would always have the gold to be bought or sold at a market value. He hoped that they would be able to satisfy many that there might be a paper currency. Let them look to the case of Scotland. What had a paper circulation done for Scotland ? Why, a paper circulation had cultivated barren wil dernesses. A paper currency had made fruitful gardens of deserts. A paper circulation in England in 1793 had saved the manufacturers.. In 1797 it did the same, and it carried us through years of war, finishing at the battle of W a t er l oo. A paper circulation had enabled us to fight our b attles, and through that means we had conquered. I n the year 1825 the issue o f a paper currency of 1/. no t es to t h e extent of 1,500,0001. had saved the Bank of England from ruin. In 1847 (as we understood), by adopting something of the same principle, many had been saved from ruin. 41 well-regulated paper currency would prevent these evils from which the country was now suffering. But the League, forsooth, were denounced as " Inconvertibles." Who were the ineonvertibles ? Why, they were those who professed to supply the country with gold, arid who could not find half of what would be sufficient. Having adverted to the lament able condition of the mercantile world, and to the re ' rent failures, the Chairman alluded to the apathy which had been evinced by the Government to a cer tain point, at which the hopeful Wood thought there was something in it, and Lord J. Russell, by the aid of the electric telegraph, and by every means within his power, raised the slogan, and Sir IL Peel came• to the rescue ; and then they had the nocturnal oc-• currenceie Spirits travelled by night, and they found this Mephistophelean minister, with the modern Faust, meeting in Downiug-street; and no doubt there were many expressions of kindly regard, and many affectionate allusions. made to the Lady Mar garet, of Threadneedle-street. Sir Robert Peel, no doubt, said it was a hard case for a man to murder his children, but they must be strangled—or their vitality must be stopped for a period. Then there would be discussions amongst the Liberals—they would have Sir Charles Wood and Earl Grey sticking up for principle, but Lord John 1443301 and Lord Yalnier ston would be for the people ' • and would say, if you are prepred to carry on the Government, do it your selves; we will not take upon ourselves the responsi bility of mr.intaining these Bills. Then came the point—the Bill was suspended, and they knew what was the result. On the Monday came a deputation which waited on Lord J. Russell, who declared that he could not communicate NV i tla the parties, that he-had made a communication to the Bank, and that until he obtained their reply be could not give an answer. Everybody knew during that eventful morning how eager were the mercantile and monied interests to know -the result, to ascertain what the Bank were to do. When, however, the announcement was made, there was an universal cry of delight ; men threw up their hats in delight at what they believed at the moment to be a great ;boon. But in his opinion there never was a clumsier concession made to an universal de mand. Then came the terms made by the Minister that S per cent. was to be the minimum of interest to be charged. Now, in all his reading he had never heard of-a Government fixinb the minimum rate of interest. lie had heard of Governments fixing the maximum rate of interest, in order to prevent the money - dealers from extorting more than they ought from - the public. The Chancellor of the Exchequer— like a wily schoolboy who encouraged others to rob an orchard whilst he himself stood safely near the wall—took the golden pippens, for the Governm en t were to share in the spoil. The Bill of 1844 was virtually suspended, and it would not be the fault of the League if it were laid in the dust. The great organ of the bullionists declared that the Bill of 1844 was the necessary accompanying measure of the Bill ,>f.1819. If the Bill of 1844 was unjust, that of 1819 was no less so--4te was the- parent of the other; I Let the middle classes advocate a paper currency based on the credit of the State. Let them do this, and the time would soon arrive when Mr. Roths ehild's prediction to which he had referred would be verified. Mr. JONATHAN D UNC AN next addressed the meet ing, for the purpose of explaining the views of the i h ere ed n o c e e tr t i o the doctrine held e b s y tio t n he a m t , is t s h u a e t , and in rL l e i, ef l ear n ge t u ; n t ec c ei o nt n or s e i t st in the intrinsic value of the article, ...aid that even the Times itrelf, which was the oppo lent of that principle, on Monday last, with the pri vileged inconsistency which that journal was allowed to indulge in, had conceded all their proposition— namely, that money did not consist in its intrinsic value. The Times of Monday last, in the leading article, stated, " The basis of a currency must be some thing which already has a natural and spontaneous xistence in the country, not an exotic, forced on by the contrivance of the State." Now he did not wish to quarrel with the term " exotic," though it was generally applied to plants, and not to metals; but what became of the bullion doctrine of the Times, when the writer said they must not have an exotic forced on by the State ? Were not the Bills of 1819 and 1841 forced on by the State ? Was not the forcing upon us a foreign metal the contrivance of the State ? It was unfortunate for the par purposes of truth to see such proceedings on the part of a powerful organ of the press—powerful, in deed, on account of its past services It was deplor able and pitiable that it should be tolerated to utter statements in one part of its columns which were con tradicted by the City article. It was, however, for the public to correct these abuses, and to show in a significant manner—(and the public could put down any power)—that such opinions were grossly insult ing to the common sense of the readers of the Tines . journal. The speaker, in the course of a long address, contended that when the rate of interest on money was low the country had been most prosperous, and that when we returned to a metallic standard wages had fallen. The Government, under the arrangement which had been made within the last few days, would share with the Bank an extra 3 per cent., which 3 per cent. would amount to a tax upon the industrious classes. Mr. CArps, the secretary to the association, pro ceeded to address the meeting on the subject of the wil effects of the Bills of 1819 and 1844 on our fo reign trade. Great ignorance prevailed on this branch of the question among men who had been engaged during their whole lifetime in the pursuits of commerce. If we looked to the period from 1800 to 1820, we ex ported 10,000,000/. more than we imported. This might appear to be a rational state of things daring thoie years, because we were subsidising foreign powers; we were involved in a general war, and had a large army to support. But if he took the period from 1820 to 1843, we exported 29,000,0001. more tLwar w:: imparted, aad looking to the official :Intl sic dared value of our exports, and the official value of the imports on the standard of 1696 (there being no declared value on imports) from 1800 to 1834, there was a loss of 103,000,0001. The speaker then re ferred to some diagrams showing the fluctuating rates of interest from 1836 inclusive. Now the value of money was generally shown by the rate of interest which it would fetch; but it had been reserved to Lord John Russell's Government to raise the mini mum rate of interest to 8 per cent. ; and this was , lone to show the stability and steadiness of our cur rency. The gold being at a fixed price, the foreigner preferred taking out of the country the low-priced (sold rather than the high-priced goods ; but when the" screw was put on," and manufactures were sold at a sacrifice, then the foreigner came back with the low-priced gold. If the gold went up with the goods, then the foreigner would take goods in prefer ence. So the foreigner had the facility of selling at high prices and buying at low prices, and, moreover, to make up the difference in exporting, a larger amount of goods must be furnished to the foreigner, and hence the difference in value between exports and imports. It had nothing to do with what had been denominated, by high authorities, the antiquated prices of value of 1696. It appeared that from 1819, in stead of a gain, as between the official and declared value, there had been annually a loss, between the two, of from 2,000,000/. in 1820, to 53,000,000/. in 1842. Let them look to the state of the manufac turing classes, let them refer to the evidence before Committees, and to information contained in the Poor law Commissioners' report—and let men ask whether the tables he referred to did not clearly show the practical working of the system on the operative classes. All the evil arose from Peel's Bills, which fixed the price of gold. Sir Robert Peel was wrong ab initio in his views. The remainder of the speech contained a vast mass of statistical information, which was shown on large drawings, &c., and which ren dered it impossible to report the matter referred to with clearness to those who were not present The CHAIRMAN then addressed the meeting, and stated that the society could not proceed successfully without money, and he therefore urged the necessity of gentlemen - becoming subscribers. A subscription of 10s. a year would entitle the subscriber to all the publications of the League; or for 2s. 6d. any gen tleman could be enrolled as a member. The room was very crowded, and the proceedings terminated at about a quarter past ten o'clock. POLICE INVESTIGATION. • Yesterday, at the Marylebone Police Court, an in vestigation, by order of the Secretiry of S'ate was • proceeded with before Mr. Broughton and Mr. Long (Lord Montford was also present), into the charges brought against William Mi!chell, the gaoler of t::is court, in a report mad , : to the visiting jai ices or Clerkenwell. There are two distinct charges of improper conduct, in one of which Mr. Robinson, well known as a legal practitioner of the lvletropolitan Police Courts, is deeply concerned. That gentleman was present, no tice having been given him of the intended inquiry; but owing to the parties not being in attendance in his particular case, another against Mit c h e ll, w hi c h i s alleged to have happened since the report of the visit ing justices was made, was proceeded with. Mr. Wolff attended on behalf of Mitchell, and after some preliminary remarks from Mr. Robinson, trust ing that the fullest inquiry would he gone into, and which he was most anxious to meet, Anne Simons, who had been brought up from Tot hill-fields Prison to give evidence, was examined. She said—l was brought up here on Tuesday week last, on a charge of robbing my employers, Messrs. Mar shall and Stanton, of Vere-street. Before I was taken to prison I was locked up in the cell of this court. Mitchell was the man who locked me up. Mr. Broughton—Do you remember any questions being asked about your having friends ?—Yes. I believe. Mr. Mitchell asked me if I had any friends. I think it was on the Tuesday Olen _he, asked me if I had got friends. • Mr. Broughton—Was that before you were locked up ?—I think it was. r Examination continued—Before I was loCked up, I asked him to give me a little water. 'lle did so, and some one in reply sai'd. I could have some beer, but I am not sure it was Mitchell. Mr. Broughton—By whom was the beer brought in ? Witness—By Mr. Mitchell. When was that—lt wa; on the Wednesday fol lowing. Some prisoner begged of it, but I do not know who. Mr. Broughton—You say Mitchell began the con versation with you on the Tuesday, by asking if von had any friends: when was that? Witness—That was before I was locked up. It was before I was brought before you, Sir. I said to Mitchell, "No, I have none here." He then asked me if I had got a solicitor. Mr. Broughton—Did he use the word solicitor? Witness—Yes; he said solicitor. lie asked me if I knew one. I said no, but I should wish to have one. He then said, if it was my wish, he did not see any reason why I should not have one. I thanked him, and told him I should. lie then said I will send for one, and he shall be here by ten o'clock to-morrow morning. Mr. Broughton—Did he say what solicitor? Wit ness—He told me Mr. Robinson, and said he had a case there on the Tuesday or Wednesday. Nothing more passed on the Tuesday. Mr. Broughton—When you came on the next day, did you speak to Mitchell ? Witness—l was put into a cell, and did not see Mitchell until he brought Mr. Robinson to me. He introduced him by saying this is Mr. Robinson. Mr. Wathen, another solici tor, had then arrived to defend me. Mr. Wathen said, you are very foolish to engage Mr. Robinson ; if you want counsel I will go and fetch them. I told !Mitchell that I should not want Robinson, and he then said, if you don't want Robinson you must pay the man for fetching him. I said how much, and Mitchell said two shillings. I said I have no money now, but when Mr. Wathen comes I will pay you. When Mr. Wathen came I borrowed two shillings of him, and saw him give it to Mitchell. Mr. Robinson was outside the cell when Mr. Wathen first came. Mr. Broughton—What did Mitchell do with the money ? 11'itness—I think he paid it over to some other person. Mr.. Broughton —When you first came to this Court was the officer Mitchell kind to you ? Wit ness—He was, Sir. Mr. Broughton—Was there any alteration to you in his manner after Mr. Wathen carne ? Witness— I think there was, Sir, and I made a remark to Mr. Tracey, the Governor of Westminster Bridewell, about it. Mr. Robinson begged to be allowed to ask the 'wit ness a question. He was not there longer than a minute, and the moment she said she had a friend coming he left. Mr. Broughton sail there was no inveachment of Eobibsn's chai%;•;ter /In that OM', ::nil his name had merely been infrodukled to show that a solicitor had been recommended to be employed by an officer of that court. Mr. Wolff cross-examined the witness at consider able length, and elicited that she spoke to some one about having a solicitor . before she spoke to Mitchell on the subject. She had no means of ascertaining that it was beer brought into the cell beyond being asked to take some of it. The woman Marshall ap peared very much distressed, but not bodily ill. The only complaint she had to make against Mitchell was a dislike to be locked up in the cell. Mr. Wolff said Mr. Mitchell had been connected with that establishment twenty-one years, and had never had the slightest imputation upon his character before. He was in a condition to prove that Mitchell had never received the 25., and would call the man who did receive it. Mr. Broughton—You do net dispute that the two shillings was received for the purpose. of fetching a solicitor, through the medium of an officer of this court —a system which ought not to exist. Adam Kirsch examined—l know this female, but can't say the exact time I saw her first; but it was about a fortnight back. It was on a Tuesday wh( n she was brought here. Mitchell said to me, " This female wishes you to fetch a solicitor." I asked her who I should go for; and she said, who I liked. I then said I would go for Mr. Rubinson. She asked me who was Mr. Robinson— Mr. Long—At what time was this • and where wa she at the time? Witness—lt was between four and five o'clock in the evening, and she was in the cell. By Mr. Broughton—l have been in the habit of going on messages at this court fol.' nine years past, and have been paid by the parties sending me. Some times I have not got paid at all. Mr. Robinson gave me a shilling, but that was for getting his horse and gig ready to come to the court. The Magistrates retired, and on their return Mr. Long asked Mitchell what he had to say in answer to the two charges preferred against him. The first of taking spirits into the cell to the woman Marshall, and the other of introducing the solicitor to • the prisoner, and taking money for so doing Mitchell said there was no glass at all in the cell. After the depositions were read over, a nd hi t s h l e voln com mittal made out, I was obliged to . lea t iil ia t t she could along the yard. She appeared so faint on a seat, and left. I went soma time afterwards ..ll scarcely stand. I opened the cell,.an .. d satlTrdoA t •n o and full of wind, that she could not keep y see how she was, when she co rnplainedof a b n en t )g hh s l o g l in , • her stomach, and would die if she had not some re- ' lief. I said, " What will you have ?" and she said anything to relieve the wind. I went over to the public-house and asked for a small bottle, and had a glass of gin and peppermint put into it, for a poor woman, who, I said, was very ill. I took it to her, and toll her not to drink it all at once, and left it with her. Mr. Broughton—Are you not aware of a regula tion interdicting the introduction of anything like spirits ' into the cell of a police co ur t? Mitchell—l am, your Worship; but the late Mr. Rawli:ison, in cases of emergency and illness, allowed me to do so. Mr. Broughton—But you know that this woman had been before me and Mr. Fell, when she did nat appear at all ill. Why not apply to rae, or Mr. Fell, before you did so ? Mitchell—ln such a case I did not think it at all necessary. The woman had no money, and I paid for the gin and peppermint out of my own pocket. Air. Long—You will new give some explanation whether Ann Simons asked you to gat a solicitor or rot, and whether you did not tell her that a particu lar person would attend the next day. If so, I want to know how you can, with the situation you hold, 11alL?,1 to . take upon yourself to recommend a particular par son, in preference to any other proprofessional: gly Mitchell—l was nit the first person for a solicitor. I was told that she wanted oilia but I I said I could not do anything in it until she was out of the hands of the police, and neither should I rec ;in- mend any one. She spoke to me after the man, ant putting her hand on my slioaid e r, said ' ; cannot I have a solicitor?" I said I w _eat I not recVame,l any one to her whilst s h e was 1:1 the ban Is of the P'o lice. neard nothing more of it until after she was remanded, s a \v a h when e " a no In v t e ' s t an c t : en g l e r t o afist ndnousicleansahidl; tor? ' ' s a e s n7l li f e o i for one, or you can have pen ink d , a n paper, and w e' ve . " Oh," says she, " th e ' messenger will be . quicker." I then shut the cell door, and went away for Ada in Kirsh, and told trim that he was wanted. I told him that a woman wanted him to gl somewhere, as she wanted a solicitor. I opened the door and told her there was the voung• man who would go anywhere she liked for her. She asked him if he would go and get her a solicitor. lie said who shall Igo to, and she replied to any one you like. I think he said he should go for Mr. Robinson. Mr, Broughton—Do you mean to say that Mr. THE COURIER STEAM-SHIP. The second of the new vessels constructing for the New South-Western Steam Navigation Company, by Mr. Mare, of Blszek wall, and fitted with their machi nery by Messrs. Muudslay, Son, and Field, was tried down to the Nore this day. We have had occasion to notice the performance of the Express upon the Southampton and Havre s t ation, and the results ob tained in the trial of the Courier are, if possible, more satisfactory. The dimensions of this vessel are as follows :--Length, 170 feet; breadth, 23 feet ; depth, 10 feet 10 inches; tonnage, 439. She is a remarkably handsome vessel, and does infinite credit to her &- Signer as well for the fineness of her lines, as for the beauty of her appearance • w bile in the internal fittings nothing has been neglected which could in any way add to the comfort and convenience of the passengers. Her engines are similar in principle to those of the Express, and are the invention of Mr. Joseph Mauds lay. Their collective power is two hundred horses; standing in the same space which, twenty years ago would have been required for machinery of one-tenth of their effective force. The cylinders, which are annular, give a length of stroke of three feet six inches, and the diameter of the wheels, which are admirable specimens of those with revolving floats, is twenty feet. The number of revolutions obtained, under great disadvantages, were between thirty-nine and forty, giving a speed to the wheel of up wards of twenty-six miles an hour. The speed attained by the vessel, on the best calculation which could be made, was seventeen miles and three quarters per hour through the water ; and but little doubt exists that when the bearings of the engines have worked smoother than could b.,' expected on a firslday's trip, the speed will be maintained fully eighteen miles per hour. We cannot close this short account of an interesting trip without an acknowledgment of the attention which all the party on board received from Messrs. Maudslay and Field, and the expression of the plea sure which ev:ry one felt at the successful result of their labours. The Courier is intended for the South ampton and llavre station, and is comimanded, by Captain Goodridge, w hese skill i n the “ the Wonder is too well k nown at Southampton landling ' and the Channel Islands to leave any doubt as to the future well doing of the fine vessel of which he has now assumed the control. • t.... -.4(.' . - - ... , qii.;7..- • • ett...e....... • 1. -k.

Porersmotera, OCT. 29.—The Blenheim 'steam guard ship, in charge of Captain Horatio Austen, C. 8., deputy comptroller of steam machinery, Wool wich, arrived this morning at Spithead, and after trying her rate of speed at the measured mile, came into harbour this afternoon to Le the ordinary guard ship, and carry the'flag of the Rear. Admiral Super intendent cf the Dockeard. - Captain Yates and the officers and men of the ordinary will be officially turned over to her as soon as Captaia Milne arrives frein the 'St.' Vincent. During her late cruize she went through nearly 220 miles of water, and was under steam about 50 hours. In addition to the other particulars we have given respecting the Blenheim and her cruise, we may add that i n go i ng roun d s h e only occupied from 6:l e to 7 minutes, and the same astern about eight minutes ; the time occupied in shipping the screw was about two minutes,. the time occupL.-d in getting up her steam appeared from 40 to 45 minutes ; in getting the screw up entirely out of the water, the time occupied was about 20 minufos on the average, and in lowering it into its place about Gi minutes. The Odin steam•frigate, Captain the Iron. F. T. Pelham ; the Polyphemus steam-sloop, Commander M`Cleverty ; and the Stromboli steam. sloop, Com mander Fisher (Captain), are ordered to be detached from Sir Charles Napier's squadron off Lisbon, and added to the Mediterranean squadron under Sir W. Parker, in order to strengthen his steam force. The Sidon will also remain under the orders of Sir Wil liam Parker after disembarking Earl Dalhousie at Alexandria. It is said that the new coal depots are not to be stat:o ied at Spithead, but in the harbour ; one to be placed otT Cold Harbour, and the other in the place of the itlai:lstone, the present depot, just above IVeovil Lake. The reason assigned for not establishing a coal depot at Spithead, is stated to be the difficulties presented to di _charging coals into or out of one in that roadstead in bad weather. It is but fair to say that in bad weather such operations would be imprac ticable ; but the weather is not always bad, and it is not too much to say, that in four cases out of every five that occur staatners could lie alongsde a ship at Spithead to coal. With respect to discharging coals into a depot, i: has been said that there is an unwil lingness en the part of the colliers to risk damage by going t longside a coal ship in an open roadstead. This is sheer nonsense. The men who fearlessly beach their ves3els on the south coast of England and elsewhere to discharge their cargoes, are not likely to flinch from going alongside one of her Majesty's ships at Spithead, where they would be guaranteed from damage. Besides, proper care should be taken to have the vessels fully supplied at the proper season of the year. The Rhadamauthus steam transport, Mr. Jonathan Aylen, master commanding, embarked a number of marines yesterday for Plymouth, and sailed this evening for that port. The Arab, 12, Commander W.

The French newspapers have published a very in correct and exaggerated account of an encounter which recently took place between an English sloop and a French brig-of-war on the coast of Africa. The facts of the case arc really these : On the evening of the 20th of June last, soon after dark, her Majesty's sloop Hound, Commander Wood, while running along the land off Porto Novo, near the notorious slave trading station of Wtrydah, in the Bight of Benin, descried a sail which tacked and stood to sea. The Hound made saikin pursuit ; and having, at ten P u., come up about half a mile to leeward of the chase, Commander Wood ordered the private signal to be mt.de to her ; but some delay occurring in slinging the lanterns, and Commander Wood and his officers feeling certain that the chase was not a ship of-war, he ordered a shot to be fir. d across her bows to bring her to. The vessel then showed some lights, but as they were not hoisted in the proper form of the signal a second shot was fired, which was re turned by the chase, and which turned out to be the French brig-of-war Abeille. The shots from both vessels were purposely fired wide, and took no effect. Lieutenant Hallett, of the Hound, was immedi ately sent on board the Abeille to offer Commander IVood's apologies for the mistake, which were received with courtesy and politeness by the Commander of the Abeille. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. CITY, FRIDAY EVENING. TIMES.—The English Funds continue their down ward course, and have- left Gift> day at adeeline of one and an eighth per cent. from the closing prices of yes terday. Consols, for money, were first quoted 81 to i—they then receded to 81k, recovered to 81 k, and finally closed at 81. For the account the range was from 81i down to 81i, at which they closed buyers. The news by the Hibernia from America, coupled with the announcement of the meeting of Parliament in November, caused the decline in the morning, and the increased heaviness in the afternoon was attribu table to the unfavourable character of the Bank Gazette returns, and to a variety of reports regarding fresh failures. An apprehension that the Government are about to call for a new loan for Ireland, and that their object in summoning the Legislature is chiefly to consider the difficulties of that country, was also very prevalent; although, among better-informed parties, it is clearly understood that the sole reason for the step consists in the desire on the part of the Ministry to obtain a species of indemnity for their late measure with reference to the Bank Charter Act. Bullion to the amount of about 50,0001. was re ceived at the Bank to-day from the continent In London to-day no failures have occurred of sufficient importance to call for notice. The letters from the couutry also are free from any accounts of stoppages, except such as are insignificant. The sus pension of another country bank was reported, but it was contradicted by their London agents. Mr. Gardner, of Manchester, is stated to have proposed payment of his liabilities in two, four, and six months. The private advises from America by the Hibernia contain nothing in addition to the published accounts. The general tenour of the whole, as far as regards the balance of trade between the two countries, is deci dedly unfavourable. The accounts of the pressure on our side alone appear to prevent cotton from rising, there are strong indications of considerable exports during the winter of Indian corn, the demand for goods from England is not likely to become active again before the turn of the year, and bills upon this country of a second-class character are still offering at rates much below the regular quotation. CHRONICLE.—An uncomfortable feeling has exhibited itself in the City to-day, and the public seemed disposed to give currency, and some degree of credit, to all kinds of rumours, even of the most ab surd character. One of these was, that an important line of railway had been seized, by parties having claims, upon it, under legal process, and that the line would be stopped. The absurdity of this statement, however, soon exhibited its true character. After wards there was the report of a failure of a private bank in the West of England ; but on making inquiry at its London agents there appeared to be no grounds for thestatement, as the agents knew nothing to lead them to think the bank was in difficulty. Afterwards, the report that the Bank of England's weekly return would show very unfavourably gained credence; and under all these influences, added, perhaps, to a vague fear that the operations for the French loan might in duce the directors of the Bank to become still more stringent in their accommodation, the Funds were unfavourably affected, and closed at a reduction of for the account. The reasons for the decline were variously explained, and, perhaps, the anxiety of parties who have obligations to fulfil to realise at once, and secure the certainty of a profit, may have had some influence. Absurd reports regarding the South-Eastern Railway Company have been propagated during the week, but the object of such rumours is very evident, and too palpable to deceive any but those who are quite unacquainted with the position of the company. It is hardly necessary to advert to such fabrications ; but that none of the shareholders may be deceived by them, we may state that there is not a syllable of truth in any of the statements we allude to. SE2IOUS ACCIDENT ON TIIE E %STEEN COUNTIES RAlLway.—Yesterday afternoon, about one o'clock, a man named Joseph Castles, a carriage-trimmer, was employed at the Stratford station, on the Entern Counties Railway, iu shifting several tenders belonging to the engines from ono part of the station to another, when the unfortunate man placed himself between two tenders for the purpose of coupling them together while they were in the act of being punted by the other men. There was not sufficient room for him, and his head be came jammed between the two. The tenders were parted, and he fell to the ground insensible.

DELIVERI NG LETTERS IN LONDON ON SUNDAYS. — An impreision seems to have gone abroad that a recent determination on the part of the Post office, to forward the bags which arrive by the Saturday evening and Sun day morning mails, instead of delaying them at the General Post-office in St. Martin's-le-Grand for twenty four hours, was merely anci lary to a general delivery on the Sabbath; we are authorised t, state that no such in tention is at present entertained.—Civil and Mercantile Journal. ~.~,;~, _, II ~~
