'i he essential object of this treatise is to point cut the fearful con senuenres resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in youth, degragatiou in Nt f ,,_ hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class arils ase known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physic-. 1 cmdition, end who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human heing is entitled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated with out incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc ceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties may he mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of ph} incll infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

BANQUET AT SOUTHAMPTON TO LORD CHIEF JUSTICE COCKB URN. The building known in Southampton astheAudit 7 ' hall was on Saturday evening the scene of a banquet of a novel and interesting character. The public need hardly be reminded that forlo years the present Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas was the repre sentative in Parliament Qt the borough of South ampton, but perhaps it is not so generally recol lected that some 16 years since he also filled the important judicial office of its Recorder. The Cham 1-:er of Commerce of that town, anxious that this double connexion should not pass away without some solemn and ceremonial kind word at parting, determined on inviting his lord-lip to a public din ner ; and so popular was the suggestion that the list was spee3ily fil'ed up with the names of men of all parties in politics. As a general rule the judges do not dine in public except at the Mansion-House, but in this case the strict judicial etiquette was de parted from, as no' only did the Lord Chief Jus tice accept the' invitation of his old constituents, `but he was accompanied by Mr. Justice Williams nnd Mr. Baron Bramwell, who both bore testimony' to the fact that the popularity which had marked h;s lordship's forensic and Parliamentary career had not deAerted him since his eevation to the bench. The dinner was got up by a committee of the Cham ber of Commerce, the respected president of which, Mr. J. R. Stehhing, was the chairman of the even ing. Amongst the company were men of all parties in the borough, and there were many present who, having strenuously opposed the noble and learned lord a' his successive elections, now eagerly snatched at the opportunity of showina, by the fervour of their demonstrations, that, while they bad differed him as a politician, they had never ceased to esteem him as a man. There were present the Lord Chief JuLtice of the Common Pleas, Mr. Jus tice Williams, Mr. Baron Bramwell, the members for the borough, Messrs. Wilcox and Weguelin, the county Members, Sir J. C. Jervoise, Hon. Mr. Dutton, Capt. Mangles, M.P. , the High Sheriff of the county,' Messrs. Lankester, Cooper, Croskey, and nearly all the members of the Chamber of Commerce of Southampton, and a large number of the most respectable and influential inhabitants of the town. Covers were laid for eighty. , On the removal of the cloth the Chairman gave " The Queen," to whom he said a recent interest ing event gave an addition claim on the affections of her subjects. After " Prince Albert and the rest of the Royal Family," came " Her Majesty's Ministers," which toast gave the chairman the opportunity of passing a warm eulngitim on Lord Palmerston, from whom hie said he digered in politics, but to whom he still gave the credit of having rescued the country when in her deepest 'distress. Under the most adverse circumstan7es his lordship had " Held him country's honour fast, And ' , ailed his colours to the mast." The CHAIRMAN then said—l have now the grati fication of calling your attention to the toast of the evening, the health of the distinguished man in whose honour we have collected this remarkable and most agreeable public meeting. (Cheers.) Gentle men,, it must be a matter of great pride and plea sure to a great commercial community like this to ba thus enabled, uninfluenced by any unworthy motives, and avoiding all political or polemical discussion, to do honour to a member who has served them well, and who has always shown a jea lous care of their commercial and municipal inte rests. One of the strongest reasons, one of the greatest inducements why this meeting should take plawi, was the desire that one of the most dis tinguished men of the prevent day, one who could vie in eloquence with the greatest orators this coun try has ever produced, one who has retired to the position of one of the Chief Justices of England, might not be said, politically speaking, to "die and make no sign." (Loud Cheers.) As commer cial men, you remember the benefits he has con ferred upon this great commercial town, and you would not wish, I am sure, that he should pass into ' comparative solitude without receiving some proof that whatever might be your political differences, they had not destroyed your sentiments of political or personal gratitude. (Cheers.) I am rejoiced, and I am sure you are rejoiced also, that, setting aside some difficulties which might have interposed to prevent the appearance of a judge at a public meeting, his lordship has thought fit to be here to dep., and that while politics are rigorously excluded from our meeting, he can receive from us those warm and sincere expressions of gratitude which commercial men are always ready to offer to representatives who have served them well. (Loud chews.) But neither, gentlemen, must we forget that our distinguished guest has served us in an other capacity. Long before his lordship accepted the distinguished office which he now fills, he com menced his judicial career as Recorder of South ampton, and he will not, I am sure, even now be displeased to hear that while filling that compara tively insignificant office, not one of his decisions was ever called in question. (Loud cheers.) I mention this because I thought it would be grati fying to his lordship to have it recorded that his conduct as Recorder of Southampton had been as free from taint as I believe will be his career as one of the Chief Justices of England. (Great cheers.) Since then, his brilliant career in the House of Commons is matter of history, but to that, as politics are excluded, I shall not more particularly . allude. As a chamber of commerce simply we re ceive our distinguished guest, and to the members of that chamber I propose that we think his good health with every mark of fervour and approbation. (Great cheering.) The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE then rose, and was re ceived with loud and lung-continued cheering. He said—Mr. President and Geutlemen,—l am at a loss, I assure you, for words to express the emo tions I feel at this moment. To receive this com pliment from the Chamber of Commerce of South ampton, a body so eminently qualified to represent the wealth, the intelligelice, and the respectability of this great community, to be by them thus re ceived, thus entertained, and thus welcomed,' in common with my honourable colleagues, is indeed an hononr and a happiness 'which it is difficult to find words properly to ache ewledge. (Hear, hear.). And it is the more grateful to me to be thus re ceived by you, because I Fief) in this assemblage many gentlemen whose politics I know to differ from my own, whose supp ort I could never have asked for, nor they have given, during the time I was candidate for +eat In" Parliament. To see these men united with tlae old and kind friends who have always supported me, is an indication that, although I bad not the happiness of repre senting the opinions of all my constituents, still I may entertain the hope that ill are of opinion that the representation of Southampton was not dis honoured while committed to wy hands. (Loud and general cheering.) . But, alas ! gentlemen ' all good is more or less alloyed, with something of bit terness—something of regret ; and while I feel that the honour you have done your late members this day is one of which both, but above all I indiVi dually must be proud, because I cannot place my merits in comparison with those of your other efficient member,, still .1 cannot but feel a pang of regret when I reflect that this is the termination of all connection between us. (The speaker here paused, and appeared deeply moved, while the company cheered tremendously.) I cannot but feel that my political sun has set, and that although your kindness may to some extent gild the evening which I see gathering round me as a political man —(" no, no")—it cannot permit me to hope that that which was the pride and glory of my ex istence—the honour of representing you in Par liament—can ever again be mine. I cannot tell you, g . en , lemen, 'the inexpressible pang which that consciousness and that conviction cat-.e me at this moment.. (Hear, hear.) To be, as I have said your representative ielbarhamenta and to fillthe high office of Attorney-Ger:torsi of. England was to me the sum , .rnit of enabitien. I desired no ping further, and if I coal d have had my will and way, th it was the pesition I shouldhave filled tathis hour;and never hsve de= sired to part with it.whilel had strength and:energy to fulfil its duties. But, alas! .man cannot frame ids own destiny as he will,. and I became conscious 'that many years of active aril five of the corn bined•efforts of official and Parliamentary labour, had produced a certain amount of bodily tear and wear. I was toll that cert tin warnings were not to 'be negleCted, and that I should do wrong, and per haps destroy my capacity for public usefulness alto gether, if I did not accept the highly -honourable office which I now fill, and which is far beyond any thing I could have laid claim. to. Had I followed my own will I should still be, AttOrney-General, and, may I add, still representative of Southamp ton—(lend cheers)—but wise and anxious friends counselled me, and to their sober wisdom I have yielded. I should have preferred still to toss on the stormy sea of political life rather than to be navi gating the smooth and tranquil waters in which I now float, and I can assure you from the bottom of my heart that one of the greatest of my pangs is the severance of that connexion with you 'which formed my greatest happiness. (Cheers.) What do I not owe to thin place ? very step of my career has. been infiiieric d by my e counexion with Southampton. It was here that, now some 16 years ago, I first received a minor judicial office in.the shape of your Recordership,- and it gives me inexpressible satisfaction when I hear our president say that, while holding that office, justios did not suffer in my hands. (Hear.) My first entrance into Parliament was as member for Southampton, and I : am happy in remembering that, while I re mained iu Parliament, I represented no other place. In every subsequent step of my career you met me with cordiality and kindness, and I shall not essay forget that when official advancement interrupted my tenure in Parlia ment, my political opponents here exercised a generous forbearance, and troubled me not with opposition. Step by step you stood by me. There were times when political contests for the represen tation of this borough took place. I shall never forget what was the conduct of my friends in those contests, and now that I look hack with a dispassion ate mind on the conduct of my opponents I can say, -from my heart, that not in it either Lye I anything to complain of. They ought me manfully , and fairly, ,and our contests, I trust, leave no un pleasant remembrances, either in them or in me. But I have allowed myself too long to be unmindful of my excellent colleague. Alas ! that I must say my quondam colleague, who looks younger and fresher than when, ten years since, we cinvaosed the courts and alleys of your town together. But. [ forget, politics are excluded, the tragedy must be played with the part of Hamlet omitted, and Punch is nobody, because you must not make him speak ; and yet how many points are, there upon which, before we part for ever, I should gladly say a word. (Loud cries of "Hear, bear.") I should like to say a word in vindication of my own conduct, if open to animadversion, and as it has often been animadverted on ; but this I must sty, that with now and then an exception, justice has been done my motives, even by those who differed from me in opinion ; and I am bound to admit that I received at the hands of opponents as well as of friends, a generous, liberal, and noble indulgence for the ten yearsduring which [have been connected With Southampton. During those ten year's what great events have there not passed over England. During that time we passed through one of .the greatest wars ever known, and even if some faults were committed and' some shortcomings took place from which we must learn wisdom . for the future, yet, on the otherhand, British valour never shone more conspicuously, nor was the honour of the Bri tish flag ever more magnificently upheld. And now a glorious peace has crowned that war, and secured the liberty of Europe and the East from aggression for centuries to come. It is true that when we hoped universal peace bad crowned our efforts, a new cause of war arose in our re lations with China, but I trust it will not be of long duration. Our deinands are just, all we ask being security for our commerce, security for our fellow-subjects, 'and ,'that our relations with China may be placed on the same footing as with the rest of the civilised world. But if our fair demands and pretensions shonld be refused, British valour and discipline will not fail to bring the matter to a suc cessful termination, when I trust that the temple of Janus may be permanently closed, and our atten t:ou turned to domestic and social reforms, and the most perfect development of that trade and com. merce, the extension of which appears to be pre eminently the destiny of this great pepple. As re gards internal improvements and political matters, I have no more to say. If they should have refe rence to the department to which I am now wedded, my assistance as a senator can no longer be given ; but so far as my advice goes, it shall., never be want ing. I rejoice to think how great a share South ampton must bear in the dr.velopment, of our trade. Yes, if it be the peculiar destiny of England to de velop trade and commerce to. their utmost limits, I rejoice to think that in that great destiny South acnpton must bear a necessarily triumphant posi tion. (Cheers.) . Your pectiliar position, your docks, your port, your waters, the activity of your community, and its industry, all impress my mind with the conviction that Southampton has yet a great destiny to fulfill in the further development of is commercial eminence. (Cheers) That such may be the case is one of the most cherished Wishes of my heart. I cannot overpay the debt of gratitude I owe to Southampton. There is only one way fur people who feel they owe a deep debt of gratitude, and don't know ho w to pay it, and that is by che rishing in their hearts a warm and enduring sense of affection and love for those who have heaped on them benefits. (Loud cheers.) And I believe that to the last moment of my existence, happen to me what may, when I look back on my past life and past career, as far as my public mind is concerned, the happiest and the brightest of my recollections will be my association with this community, with which I have been so intimatelyconnected, as being your representative in Parliament, and from which I have received innumerable acts of kindness and courtesy, both from friends and foes. That feeling will always make me rejoice in all good that may befal your whether as an aggregate community, or in your individual persons. Believe, I entreat you, that these are not mere words of ceremony, but words proceeding from my heart and soul—words which cannot give effect in utterance to the emo tions with which my heart is filled—to recollections so indelible as never, so long as my life lasts, to be effaced. (Loud cheers.) I thank you for all your kindness, and not least for this last crown ig act, which I shall lay to my heart, and treasure in my re collection, as expressing on your part and op the part of Southampton;' of which you are the representa tives, the opinion that I am not altogether un worthy of the confidence which has been reposed in me, of the kindness with which I am now received. (The noble and learned lord resumed his seat amid loud and general cheering. The next toast was "The County Members." The Hon. R. DUTTON, in returning thanks, al luded in complimentary terms to the guest of the evening, who, he trusted, although having termi nated one brilliant career, was only about to com mence another equally distinguished Sir. J. C. JERVOISE gave) "The Borough Members." Mr. Wirmeox, in returning thanks, although yielding to his late distinguished colleague the palm of ability, claimed an equal share of zeal and atten tion in the performance of his parliamentary duty. He should 'always do everything in his. power to promote the interests and stimulate the commerce of Southampton. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN gave "The Judicial Bench." Mr. Justice WILLIAMS, on his own behalf and on that of his colleagues, thanked the company for the warm manner in' which their health; had been re ceived. It would ill become him to institute a comparison between the present judges and their predecessors, but this be might say, that never was there a time when the 'judges were nore devotedly anxious to fulfil the duties of their station honestly and fearlessly. (Hear, hear.) He nust add, that tohim, as one of her Majesty's judges, it had been a source of infinite satisfaction to be a wi , nese of the effectionate respect so sincerely and so benefi cially shown to that eminent memberof the judicial bench for whom this evening's homage was specially intended. He also rejoiced at benign, partaker in a Southampton festivity, for he hal once been a Winchester boy, and he well recnenbered that a trip to Southampton was one of the most pleasing anticipations of his school days. (Cheers.) Since then it had always been a pleasure ti him to come to Southampton, but peculiarly eo oi the occasion of his last visit ; and although the Chief Justice was present he would tell him that it was mainly attributable to his having his lordslip for, a col league. (Hear, hear.) He would lx pardoned for saying in his lordship's presence that he ha i never had a colleague so free from affectaton, so full of good humour, or whose wit Was so calculat dti c lieve the minds of his brethren after a lent: an 1 anxious day in court. It was, the efore, with the greatest pleasure that he found hiin . self permittQ , l to take part in the present splendid ovation. cheers.) Mr. Baron BRAMWELL, in answer to loJd..and re peated calls, said that hts' privilege, as' one of the youtigest of the judges, was to have his'speeches generally made fpr him, and therefore hs - spoke on thal occhsion .without the slightPst, preme,litation. He attributed the kind reception' of his name to the fact.of his being one of the judg , s'of tho laud, and also of big being the coll , ague r -he was proud to add, the friend—of their late di.stingtiished r:1- presentative. (Loud cbeerS.) To . do his diqin guisbed. friend honour was the olject of their 'nee and anything beyond Via: .would, in his opi 7 nion,' be out of place. (Cheers.) He n nit re-, mind them of his distinguished friend's qualities a, au advocate, or as a member o` the House of Com mons, but be had now left both bar and-senate,: and his eloquence would no lon g er serve h;tn. It was not dazzling brilliancy that would do the duty he had to perform, and it that brilliancy were his only quality he would be unfitted fur his new duties. But be (Baron Bramwell) ventured to prophesy for him on the bench a career as suece =sf al as that which he had thustertninatecl. (Hear.) He thought the time Would come when Southampton would have cause to be proud of the share She hid had in ma tuning she intelligent barrister and eloquent legis lator into the able.and distingu;shedjudge. (Cheers ) In the li-t from the Mortiteur of promotions in the Ltion o Honour of English officers, given in The Sint of Thursday, the name of Lieut-Col. J. T. Grant, 19th lie_liment wss mentioned.'

The freightship Admirdl left Woolwich on Satur day at 2 p.m., having on board the 231 company of)loyal Engineers, and a cargo of naval and mili tary stor f a for China. ' The company, consi-tin , of Captain Clerke • in commaal, Lieut. Malcolm, Lieut. Pritchard, Lieut. Lennox, 4 Seteants, 9 corporals, and 83 privat-s, arrived' at the Arsenal stat!on from Chatham, whore they wet() met by the band of the Royal Artillery regiment and escorted to the pier, whence they immediately embarked, and iu 'egg than an hour the vessel was underway for Gravesend. Mark Si arp, a gunner of' the• C troop Rti?al‘ Horse Artillery, who was admitted to the hospital about tam days ago, suffering from the loss of his thumb and other injuries, sustained by the pre mature explosion of a field piece during the manoeuvres which took place OR Woolwich common on the occasion of the visit of Lord "Blocrafiell,, is progressing favourably, although incapacitated for further service. A detachment court-inattial; composed. of one captain and two lieutenants of the corps, last week asiembled to invest gate the accusation brought against Sergeant W. Binns, who directed the firing party at the run. The charge was preferred against the accused, as neglect of duty in giving the word "Ready" before No. 2 gunner was clear of the gun wheel. The case having been clearly proved was nevertheless acknowledged to be one of ordinary • . After one or two toasts, Lord Chief Justice COCKBURN said, that by the desire of their president, and with very hearty con currence on his own part, he La l to trouble thorn again in proposing the toast which stood next on theolist: Much had been said of what might be an tieipated of the commercial prosperity of South amptoo, and the subject had been by so many of the speakers so' eloquently handled that he Was reluctant to advert to it again, and yet this facn na turally brought him back to the subject upon which he had dilated at an earlier part the evening. It was his profound conviction that the destiny of Southampton was to develop to a far greater ex tent than had hitherto been done the commer cial per . prosity and greatness of this country. •To him it seemed certain—lo , king to the future by the light of the past—that Southampton must be and ever be the great emporium of steam naviga tion of this great country. Already they coarmu municated with the east and the west, arid with the far distant country, of .Australia, an t he believed that the great transatlantic empire would scorn be added to the communications with this country through the port of Southampton. The adventure: who had to seek his fortune and work out Ira destiny in distant lands here took his last farewell of friends and relatives, and his heart swelled with sorrow to part from a life spent dt.' these shores. Here, too, he .who after years of separation first greets that happy England which had been so long a dream and - the hope of his foniest aspirations, sets foot again in the country Which gave him birth, and as Mr. Yalvey (one of the previ .us speakers), whose voice he was glad .to hear again, had. already told them sdience was doing What the pbet only dreamt of in the exuberance of his fanny—put.ing a girdle round the earth. In a few (Lys ships would start from these shores to the Atlantic with that sub-marine cable by means of which two great populations would be connected, and the throb binge of the political and polemical pulse of each would • be felt almost momeivarily beyond the bounds of the vast scene which it had . hitherto taken months or weeks to pass. In all these under takings and great destinies S,ruthatuptoo, he was sure, was intimately connected: At least it was his fond.. hue that such might be her destiny, and that he miht live to see that greatness which bad been rapidly. developing itself, and which had bean to all a "thdwe 'wonder, mat ve', and delight. Gratitude hallaeen defined by one of the speakers as a lively sense of favours to come ; but it was not always so, as there was a gratitude in reference to favours past—that was it by which he was inspired, and it made him wish fondly for that prosperity in bringing about which the Chamberof Commerce was a great, a valued, and an efficien tins . rument—au in stitution in which was gathered together the influ ence, the experience, and the wisdom of that com mercial community; and which was essentially use ful and instrumental in developing the resources of the trade of the town. His last wish, hope, and aspiration, to which be might be permitted to give utterance in that place was not only for their gene ral, but for their commercial prosperity and their individual prosperity. Id proposing to them the tJast of "Success to 'the Chamber of . Commerce," and bidding them farewell, he felt that with the happiness of that eveuing ,was mixed those painful associations to which he bad alluded. It was like the parting with some dear and valued friend, where the sense of the impending separation was rendered deeplyvacuteand full,of ang-u;sh by the con sciousness of the pleasure with • which they could Still clasp the, hand ; but even the sense of pleasure which that gave rendered the sense of parting doubly "conscious and acute. Such ware his feelings in parting - from them. It had been his pleasure to meet them to say farewell, but with that pleasure was mixed the bitterness and the consciousness that this was their final separation. (Cheers.) • • The PRESIDENT responded to the to ast, and. the healths of the president, the vice-president, and secretary being drunk, the proceedings were brought. to a conclusioa shortly before midnight. occorrence in cases of speedy firing. By sentence , f the Court martial, which was confirmed by the . comtnan.ting -officer, the prisoner was ordered to be reduced from the grade and pay of sergeant to t he station of gunner in the ranks. The gun-boat Leven was on Saturday removed from the begin at Woolwich, and, having shipped her ammunition at the Arsenal, she proceeded un der steam to Greenhithe to adjust compasses and to join the gun-boat squadron under orders for China. When nearing her moorings to be swung she got foul of one of the buoys, and damaged one of the Maths of her propeller. She was conse quently brought hack to Woolwich for repairs. The paddle-wheel steamers Bann and Brune hav ing been pronounced by the Master Shipwright at Woolwich unfit to undertake the voyage to Ohina, the Bann is ord-re I to be despatched to Sheerness, and the Bruno to be fitted a; a tender for service on the co tst of Africa. A 'corporal of the Royal Marines, named Samuel Long, recantly appointed with a detaclunent to serve on board the gun-boat Slaney, orderedto China, died on Saturday morning in the Marine infirmary at Woolwich from the eitecs of a wound sus t aine i on b lard the receiving ship-Hebe, moored off Woolwich Dockyard, on Thursday. It appeaas that the deceased, while parading his beat as the eentinel on duty, was savagely assaulted by a sea man named George Bave, who had that morning been liberated Irum confinement below, and that immediately on reaching.the upper deck be delibe rately cut the ship's boat adrift, so as to cut off hall communication with the shore, and, rushing furi ously on the entry, possessed himself of _his bayo net, and plunged it into his groin with fatal ksuc cess, vowing at the same time that he would be ' e venged on more than one on board; and, flour • h ing the reeking weapon above his head, strode t e deck in search of another victim.. It being nixie o'clock at night the deck was fortunately clear. Tie ship's boOtswain, who happenad to be on portion . - larly friendly terms with him, bearin g the cries;of the wounded marine, hastened on deck, accom panied by a number of the ship's company, but no one thought it prudent to approach him. The boat swain, however, at length succeeded by stratagem (on the plea of shaking hands) in pinioning his arms, and thus prevented further bloodshed. A serge ,nt and some constables of the dockyard police were promptly on board, when the delinquent was securely ironed and guarded' for the night, and in the morning wai handed over to the custody of the civil authorities. On Saturday morning, at an early hour, perceiving that the poor felloii was in a dying state, a messenger was despatched to Green wich to summon the attendance of Mr. Traill, the police magistrate of the district, in order to take the dying man's deposition, but he had expired be fore the magistrate's arrival. The murderer boasts of his crime, and declares his sorrow at having failed to satiate his revenge on more than one. A new description of breech-loading gun, manu factured by M. A. M. Montigny, of Antwerp, was on Saturday landed at the Royal Arsenal, Wool wieh. The weight of the piece is two tons, and it is intended as a Sample for the apptoval of the authorities. Two wrought-iron guns a nine and three-pounder—have likewise been delivered at the Arsenal from the Nile foundry, Birmingham, also as samples, With a view of introducing some important improvements into the artillery service of the army. Her Majesty's gunboat Minx, Lieut.-Commander Richard H. Roe, was on Saturday paid off at Wool wich, atrrl ordered to undergo repairs of machinery, lrc., forthwith: The Avon steam-tender arrived at Portsmouth yesterday wit supernumeraries from the eastward, and left again in the evening for the westward with others. The Bustler paddlewheel steam-tug, tender to the Hibern'a, at Gibraltar, arrived at Sheerness on Friday evening, la-t from the Mediterranean, and left. Sh-erness for Woolwich. In consequence of the strong winds and heavy sea Mr. Jackson, Assistant-Master-Atten.dant of her Majesty's dock-yard at Sheerness, superintending the raising of the Coast-guard cutter Curlew, has been tumble to raise her forward by her own chain cables so as to sweep her with proper chains for weighing her when the weather permits. The Falmouth, T. Carrick second master in com mand, arrived at Sheerness on Saturday last from Davonport and Portsmouth. A line-of battle ship, supposed to be either the Cressy or. Majewtie, from the Mediterranean, was seen off Portsmouth between 2 and 4 o'clock yes terday afternoon, working up Channel. The Devastation, 6, steam sloop, Commander Marshall, arrived at Spithead on Saturday morning from Plymouth with men paid off from the James Watt and Euryalus ; she landed them, and then proceeded for the eastward with others. The Sylph s'eamvessel arrived at Portsmouth on Saturday evening from the Channel Islands with the remainder of the 72d Regiment for Slaorncliffe a.ty.l a detachment of Royal Artillery. The First Lord of the Admiralty (Sir C. Wood), Sir B. Walker (Surveyor of the Navy) ; Lieut.- Colonel Greene, Director of Admiralty Works, Arc., are expected to make a visit to the gun-boat slips at Haslar this day. It is supposed that a larger gun-boat flotilla is about to be fitted out for Chins. The Princess Charlotte, sailing three-decker,lo4 , was commissioned on Saturday at Portsmouth by Captain G.

The Assistance and Adventure, iron sore w troop-ships, will be also ready to p rocee d t o Chi na next week - . They take out the 82d. Regiment from Portsmouth. The launch of the large steam screw corvette Raceou, 22 guns, took place at Chatham dockyard on Saturday afternoon in the presence of several thousand spectators. Her machinery, a portion of which has arrived at Chatham, will be of 400-horse power. She will be fitted for sea forthwith. A steam screw corvette of the same dimensions as the Racoon is to be immediately laid down on the same slip. A THOUGHTFUL SCH,LAR.—A clergyman gave an address one afternoon a: a Sunday-school, on the omni presence of the Deity. He began by asking "Can any child here tell me where God is not to be found ?" TLe questioner having paused for a reply, one little girl an swered, timidly, "Yes, Sir, I can." The clereynan said, " Where, my dear? for I do not know where the place is to be found." The little girl replied, "'rh , -• Bible says, 'He is not in ali the wicked nian'slhoughte.'"

The Duke of Portland sailed from Hong Kong with 330 (not 500) Chinese emigrants bound for Havel). nab, and 130 died on the voyage from fever and suicide, the remainder (200) having been safely landed. A rigid inquiry into the circumstances was instituted by the Government. Another vessel, the John Calvin, lost 122 out of 297 colonists. N., blame attaches to the masters of either vessel ; both ships lied ex perienced surgeons and ample accommodation. A fatal disease manifested itself on board the Duke of Port land, and soon became epidemic. The causes of the sick ness are traced to the quality of the water, and partly to the smoking of opium in excess. The Local Marine Board (Cornhill) are unanimously of opirsion that no blame attaches to the owners or caetains, or to any one connected with the ships. It appears to the board that the mortality on board the Portland was much aggra vated by the heat and unusual length of the voyage (150 days), caused by the sailing of the ship in au im proper season, one month, at ,ieret, later than she ought to have done—to enable her to get down the China seas. The Chinese emigrants gave much tremble on board ; they made frequent attempts to take the ship, and the captain never lay down in bed with out a cutlass at his belt. Mr. D. Idligat, the surgeon of the ship, states that a low typhoid feve• was generally prevalent among the low class of Chinese, and was brought on board by them at Hong- Kong. Tho nick nese csas attributed to improper food In ed by themselves, [such as onions and pickles. The habits of the Chinese were very filthy. The coolies died from deblity and affection of the Jiver and lungs, and exhaustion arising from the seeds of the disease. The 'disposition to com mit suicide was most remarkable. An explanation has been demanded froth Sir J. Bowrir,g by the Colouial office relative to the number whioh. the above vessels were legally qualified to carry.

Burgess, R.N., and to the report of Sir John M'Neill respecting the port to be constructed near the Orontes and the nature of the country to be traversed, as well as to the minutes sent home by myself, I shall on the present occasion confine my observations to four ma terial pointa Ist. The advaateges that would accrue to England ; 2J. Tee existing commerce and its extension ; 3d. The difficulties expected from the Arabs ; 4th. The means of hying down the proposed railway. " ISt. By means of the proposed railway, troops and warlike stores, mails, &c., coull be conveyed from Er.g. land to India (Kurrachee) in the space of 15 or 16 days, and to Southern Per-la in a much shorter time. The opening of this route would, me already stated, enahle large tracts of country admirably adapted for the growth of cotton, sugar, coffee, and indigo, to be cultivated, which now lie comparatively useless, and would lead to a large increase in the consumption of British manufac tures in Turkey, Central Asia, India, and Persia, it be ing the moat; direct, and consequently the cheapest means of transport to those countries. These remarks apply especially to Persia, to which the Proposed live gives a much shorter, cheaper, and readier accwit for nor extensive commerce with that country, than the miserable mountain mule road from Trebizonde now iu use, aid which has the additional evil of being partly under Ruse den control. " 2nele - Profane as well ai sacred history shows es that extensive commerce has in all ages been carried en through Arabia. And so it continues to this very day. FOr although under the name of Gumrook or custom duties, trade is subject to some exactions from the Arabs, it is at this moment very extensive, much more so, it - deed, than I had ventured to expect. I was aware, from the Custom-house returns, as given in the appendix to my work on the expedition to the Euphrates and Tigris, that the Indian trade to Mesopotamia alone approached two millions ; but I found the trade through Aleppo and Northern Syria much more important. Sir John MgeTeil met in one day 1,453 laden animals beeween Suedia and Antioch ; and it appeared from the registers that, on an average, 1,200 camels and horses pass the Jisr Hadid every day with goods from Aleppo or Killis, and various other places. The papers sent home by Mr. Kennedy, which have been printed in connection with the Ea phrates Valley Railway, show that 181,000 tons of goods are annually imported through Aleppo, and 179,800 tons pass from that city for export. These figures, I must observe, are the results given by Mr. Kennedy ex clusive of'Mossnl and Killis, which have been overlooked by him. The r trade is very considerable. The value of the above-mentioned imparts is about 1,250,0001., of which 444,689/. are from Great Britain ; while that of the exports amount to about 1,050,0001. Of the exports, it appears that 107,800 tons are brought from towns in or near Mesopotamia, such as Baghdad, Hillah, Anah, Bussorab, &0., and that 118,100 tons are imported into those places. Subsequently to this account from . Mt. Kennedy, I obtained a copy of a report to the Foreigra office on the trade of Aleppo from 1851 to 1855 By the details contained in that paper, it aopears that the im ports to and through Aleppo in 1855 amounted to about 1,214,0591. and that the exports were 1,254,1301., irre spective of an internal trade with Turkey, which, in 1856, amounted to 1,079,5561. In bringing these faces before the Tanzitnat, and in pointing out the present expense of carriage (which is from 41. to 6/. per ton from Aleppo to Alexandretta), in order to prove that the rail way would give ample returns, I had also an opportunity of showing, by the report of Suleitnan Paella, the late Governor of Aleppo, that he actually paid into the trea sury, in 1853, 17,000 purses, which, being taken at 3 per cent., gives upwards of two millions sterling. Wita reference to the extension of commerce in these countries, I may cite that of Mossul—which is not included in the preceding returns. In 1844, 32,0001. duty were paid by the Pacba of Mossul, on goods valued at more than one million sterling. Our consul at that place, Mr. Rageam (who cultivates cotton rather extensively, and is now in troducing the Sea Island plant), assures me that if the means of tray sport could be procured, there woul f be at least 300,000 camel loads annually of cotton, wool, wheat, barley, madder-roots, tobacco, &c., sent :from Mossul for exportation. But teis is only the increase that may he expected in one instance. A proportionately great one is likely to be toe consequence of facility Of transport' elsewhere. Cotton, silk, and grain will, with out any doubt, be more largely cultivated en the plaits between Suedia and the river Euphrates. In fact, no thing is wanting but an outlet and moderate protection, to'clevelop the resources of this large tract of country— superior in fertility to Egypt—and to produce an enor mous commerce in Mesopotamia and Baoylonia, in cotton, wool, wheat, indigo, sugar, copper, tobacco, ' va lonia, red and yellow berries, &c. "3d. The next point for consideration—the Arabs—is usually considered a serious one, indeed more so than it deserves. For I am firmly persuaded that, with judicious management, everything can be satisfactorily arranged with this people. I found this opinion on the fact that trade has always existed in these countries, and on my own experience of the Arabs. It is obvious that it they were to endeavour to stop trade altogether, instead of levying a toll or duty, as is their practice, they wouid do themselves an irreparable injury, and they are per fectly alive to their own interests in this matter. With reference to a more enlarged trade, and to the means of ensuring its security, I think it would be desirable to carry out the proposal made by Sir John Malcolm, more than twenty e five years ago, to place a judicious and influential commissioner in Arabia to make arrangements with the tribes from time to time. It is not very long since the Arabs themselves had agents in Damascus and Aleppo, who received the sti pulated duties for the goods passing throno Arabia under their guarantee. From my experience of these people, I think such arrangements may be considered safe and binding. In the papers placed by Government before Parliament, I have already shown that the Arabs carried money for me in various small groups, to the amount of several thousand pounds. They also carried gunpowder and fire-arms, and various kinds of stores, without any loss whatever to their employers. They also placed depots of fuel along the river, and most faith fully fulfilled their contracts at distant places, where we had no kind of control over them. These may be cell ed the brighter portions •of my experience of several years among this people ; for it is quite true that I have also experienced different treatment from tbem. As a simple traveller, I have been robbed more than once ; but I may add, as a curious fact, tbat even under those circumstances, I was able, on the faith of the English name, to borrow money from the very individuals who bad already taken mine. I think, if judiciously manag ed by those who know something of their peculiarities, we have nothing to fear from the Arabs. " The' singular character of this people enters largely into the 4th and operative part of the question. The Sultan's anthority is at present somewhat restricted in the country, but it will, ere long, be strenwhened and consolidated in that part of the world. As Khaliph he is tae acknowledged head of their religion ; but as Sultan his power is questioned, and sometimes even resisted by the wandering tribes, though not so by the sedentary in habitants' who are more or less obedient to the laws of the empire. For the first part of the priposed under taking, that of the connexion of the Mediterranean with the Euphrates, there is no danger whatever ; and it is neeuless to remark that the' completion of this proposed portion oaf the route alone, ev,ll of itself very materi ally shorten the .distance and time between England and India. Beyond Jaber it may be otherwise, although I hope not to any serious extent. Indeed, I think that the protection, as arranged in detail on the part of the Sultan, will give us the necessary security. Bea rin g in mind that the Sultan's power is unquestioned at Mom', at Baghdad, at Bussorah, and at other places, we have only to leer the predatory movements of the Nomad tribes who intervene; and with such pints d'appui, as yeyseerxiopuesetdtihffiecausletyietfaroemee tehfitithqeuaerettie:u;. large garrisons in Ba g hdad and some other p la ce s, I do the the e to ae w e n r s e a d l e o p n e g Euphrates and Ti.n dindirectly upon the e n e ct i, t ec apprehendiy asweaten Ti gris, Sweheeikilinssome m of Sultan through the chief Pachas. In short, having the immediate support and protection of the Sultan, with ample means at to troops, and our own increasing in fluence among the Arabs in consequence of the employ ment of their camels and themselves to a larg,e extent, I do not see that we have anything to fear, nor do I anti cipate any difficulty beyond that of organieation in lay ing down the rails. The construction of a railway being a gradual operation. its progress, like my intercourse with the trib e s i n 1835, 181‘6, and 1837, will be gradual also ; during which time they will be taught to second rather than oppose the railZvay, and by the time it has reached Aleppo, we may count on the cordial support of this singular people. Three different messages of con gratulation were sent to me whilst recently at Aleppo— one of these was accompanied by an offer to bring 4,000 or 5,000 workmen from the neighbourhood of Moesul, some of whom had been employed as the excavators of the Assyrian ruins. "In conclusion I may mention that in all my nego tiations with the Porte I set aside entirely all increase of commerce from India, Central Asia, and Persia, and founded my calculations solely on the commerce now actually existing, which give the &Bowleg results The imports to Alexandretta alone amount to 50;000 in tons, and the exports to about the same; the total va l ue being about 2e millions sterling 185 5 , the whol e o f which would pass over the railway between the 'Medi terranean and Aleppo, and the Euphrates.
