BY SAMUEL L &WERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. he essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, ,_which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Mon "cod, 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 r th eirphys.cal condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded e herith, happiness, and privileges to which every hu m an being is Matted. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are Principles of personal management which cannot be violated with ' of incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc ceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences maybe avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical i nf i rmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

Surgeons—Jahn Mem to the Cambrian ; Fya , lvr Negus, io the Ouracoa; W. H. Sloggett to the Calypa Assistant-Surgeons—Thomas Colaban, to the Cam brian ; Machail M 'Grath, to the Cambrian ; Leonard Lucas, to the Calypso ; James A. Skene, to the Mada gascar ; H. S. Smart, to the Cumberland. "After more than two hours of anxiety, strategy, and no small practice of the arts of offence and de fence, they appeared, and were immediately sent off in a bhylie,' under a small guard, towards the city. Hodson, then, with the remainder of his men, enterel the enceinte of the tomb, .and found certainly not less than from 5,000 to 6,000 of the scum of the city and Palace congregated there, armed wi.h weapons of all descriptions. It was in deed an hour of trial ; when a bold front and a determined voice was of more avail then even a sharp sword. Wonderful to say, not a man of the gallant little band was hit, and on Hodson sternly reiterating his demand for instant surrender they began to lay down their arms. 500 swords, and twice that number of firearmQ, besides horses, ele phants, &c., were collected in less than an lour and-a-half, without another blow being struck. Hodson and his men then moved warily off to the city. At a short distance from the walls they found the lohylle' was halted with much rabble .collected around, who turned on the little party as they rode up. This was no time for hesita tion or delay. Hodson dashed at once into the midst—in few but energetic words explained `that these wero the men who had not only rebelled against the Government, but hid ordered aid wit nessed the massacre and shameful exposure of in nocent women and children ; and that thus the re fore the Government punished such trait irs, taken in open resist ruse,'—shooting th em dOwn at the word. The effect was instantaueous end wonder ful Not another hand was raised, not atio:her weapon levelled, and the Mahothedans of the trcej and some influential Moulvies among the by stan&rs exclaimed, as if by simultaneous impulse, Well, and rightly done ! Their crime has met with its just penalty. These were they who gave the signal f. the death cf helpless women and children and outraged decency by tl . e exposure of their persons, and now a righteous judginent has fallen on theig_ . God is grew-. r The 'remainieg weapons were Wen laid down, and he crowd slowly and ifftie•ly dispersed. _ The b ;dies were then ear- ried into the city and thrown out on the very spa w:)ere the blood of their innocent vitt;ms still stained the earth. They rem-tin d there till the 24th, when, for san tary reasons, they were re moved from the Chibootra in front of the Kotwal lee. The effect of thin just retribution is ay idra culous on the populace as it was deserved by the crimi ink "The popular with now i 4, that Hodson, the avenger of blood, should be sent with a strong force at his back to find and execute the like justice o❑ the arch-villain Nana Sahib. May they both receive the reward of their deeds 1" LATEST FROM DELHI. PALACE, DELHI, Oct. 15: I wrote to you from Meerut on the 28th ult., en closing a list of casualties and giving a few sma'l scraps of information—perhaps a little more may not prove altogether unacceptable. The ex-King, who is living in a small house within the Palace walls, is to be brought to trial in a few days for aiding and abetting the mutineers. Living with him is his favourite wife, Zeenut Mahal, and her son Jumma. Buktit, a lad of about 17 (.r 18 years old. Two of the King's sons, the Princes Mitzi Bucktawur Shah an d Mirza endboo, were tried last week for aiding and abetting the muti neers. One of them was appointed colonel of the 11th Native Infantry, and the other of the 74th ; they were tried by a military commission of five officers, with Brigadier-General Chamberlain as President. Evideice was produced before the Court, principally documentary, consisting of re ports, returns, &e., bearing the prisoners' seals. showing that they exercised command of their regi ments and acted. In their defence they pleaded total ignorance of the intention of the Sepoys tck mutiny, and said that when the Meerut mutineers first reached Delhi on the 11th of May they (tbe Princes) thought it was a Russian invading army ! They were then summoned to an audience by the King, and a few days after were appointed.colonels of regiments at the request of the Sepoys them selves. The Court, however, found the prisoners guilty, and sentenced them to death ; and, accordingly, yes' erday, they were shot by a party of the 60th Rifle 3. Detachments of Rifles, Artillery, Sapperp, and Goorkhas wore present, and a great number of spectators. The bodies were cast into the Jumna River. The city continues empty of all its former inhabi tants, though many are attempting to negotiate with the prize agents for the ransom of their houses and property. It is supposed a large amount of prize money will be collected. Nothing as yet is known as to whether this place is to be retained as a garrison or not. The country is about settling down and the people becoming wonderfully civil. A force is out, under Brigadier Showers, punish ing rebels and bringing them to a sense of their duty and allegiance. • I mentioned in my last that two Engineer officers were to receive the " Victoria 0r0.35." I regret to say Lieutenant Salkeld has died of his wounds ; the other, Lieutenant Home, was unfortunately killed by an explos:on when destroying a fort near Bolundshuhur. They are deeply lamented. At Meerut all is quiet. Here the sick and wounded are improving, as the cold weather is setting in. The Vienna Gazette says :—" Count Valent° Esterhazy, the Austrian ambassador to St. .P t in ' H o e r leas sil burg, months, woo hi sh justas been returned reque3ted thu government to appoint him to some other embassy instead of that at St. Petersburg, and it is thought probable that his wish will be complied with."

Hoclson:— . "On the morning on , which the city and palace were finally evacuated the wholo of the available cavalry moved outthrough the suburbs in the direc tion of, but not on the road to, the Kootub, and marched to the top of the hill on which stands tho Eedgab,' thence overlooking the c:tpap of th e Bareilly and Nusseerabad mutineers, under 'Gene ral' Bucktowar Khan, quondam Subidar of Artil lery. It was soon perceived by unmistakable signs that the camp was being evacuated, and soon after a lond explosion took place, which told to practised ears that the rebels were blowing up their ammuni tion previous to a fight, and Hodson's messengers coming breathlessly in at the moment confirmed the fact. Hodson immediately got' leave to report it to the general, galloping on his way right along the front of the city to see if this was clearly also. He then obtained per:nission from the general to go to the rebel camp itself, to see hoW the land lay. "He started at once with his second in:command, Macdowell, and 75 Sowers, and rode right round the city to the Delhi-gate ; having but few shots fired at them, and eloaring the road of stray rebels as they wen t.along, they found the camp all but empty (they soon niade it quite so), and the Delhi-gate open. They brought away three guns left by the enemy, and made arrangements for bringing in the empty tents, &c. They recovered the mess plate of the 65th Native Infantry, their standards, stripped howevt,r, and band instruments, polishing off the big drummer, wh.), with his myrmidons, gave some trouble. " Next day Hodson asked and obtained permis sion to go after the King, whose capture, with that of his favourite wife (another of the heir apparent), he successfully accomplished at the cost only of vast fatigue, some fighting, and imminent r;sk. His Majesty was courteously disarmed, and then escorted into the city. "Early the following morning Hodson set "to work to get the Princes, greater because more active villains than their father. He started with Mac dowell (second only to his commanding officer in all soldierly qualities) and 100 mon for the Tomb of the Emperor Humayoon, where the rascals were concealed. He took measures to cut off all access to or egress from the budding, and then sent in one of the illegitimate scions of royalty (who had saved his own life only by turning King's evidence) and the one-eyed Moulvie, Rujub Ali (one of the lamented Sir Henry Lawrence's most trusted emis saries) to bring out the Princes.

The fact that a cannon ball passing close by a a living subject exercises a lateral pressure on the air sufficient to produce a contusion has often been asserted, and as often denied. On this disputed matter M. E. Pelikan, of St. Petersbur, has just presented a paper to the Academy of Sciences of Pads, giving an account of certain experiments in stituted with a view to set the question at rest. Having obtained the concurrence of the Russian Government, M. Pelikan caused a cylinder of sheet iron, 1 foot in diameter, to be constructed, with a piston moving easily inside. The piston-rod was provided at its outer extremity with a black lead pencil to mark the recoil on a slip of paper. The whole apparatus was firmly fixed on a strong wooden frame. The piston and piston-rod weighed 81b., and a force of lilb. was requisite to make the piston recoil an inch. At four metres' distance from the frame a wooden screen was erected, in order to as certain the distance of the projectile from the piston at the moment of its passage. Although the experiments instituted in 1843 and 1814 in the arsenal of Washington, by Major Mordicay proved that at the distance of 48 feet the gases emanating from the powder have no effect upon the balistic pendulum, a second screen was placed before the other, at 5 metres' distance from the apparatus, in order to protect it, if necessary, from the action of these gases. A 401 b. howitzer was then placed at a distance of 14 metres from the first screen, the charge of powder being 41b. ; the velocity of the projectile at that distance was equal to that of a bombshell projected with a 71b. charge—viz., 056 feet per second. The results obtained showed,-1, that at a distance of 3 inches, the piston remained immovable ; 2, that even when the projectile broke off a part of the wooden frame supporting the cy linder the piston gave no indication of motion ; , 3, but that if the projectile just grazed the surface c f the piston, a recoil of 2 inches was obtained ; 4, if, on the other hand, d fragment of ate frame hit the the cylinder the piston, instead of moving back wards, would move for wards about 34 lineal; 5, if the cylinder instead of being pla ce d p ara ll e l t o t h e screens, was placed obliquely, a recoil would take place of from one-quarter to one-half of an inch. Hence M. Pelikan concludes that, since the'piston required a force of lilb. in order to be moved an inch, and the wind of a cannon-ball can newer be p e x r opjeeecttei dle t e ci o e s x e e t r o c i a s sne livingh s a u f b o j r o c o e t , w t lel only pass a p 4 r e e d o t f t c a e am insignificant effect, which cannot amoupt to a contusion, LONDON,, TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 1, 1557.

It is to be regretted that the last Overland Mails did not reach London in time to be delivered in London on Saturday night and despatched into the country by the evening mails of that day. It could not be helped, how ever. A. grrat effort was made to obtain a success similar to th a t achieved- on- several former occasions ; but the anxiety of the Post-office authorities, it appears, could not lull Mediterranean gales, or effect a quicker railway transit from Marseilles to London. The had weather made a long passage for the mail packet Vectis of about 66 hours from Malta to Mar -13 lies, and the special train that left the latter place at noon on Friday, did riot travel so fast as the express train that left Marseilles for Paris two hours earliLr. It was fully expected that this train would reach Paris in time to dispatch the mails to Boulogne by 8 o'clock on Saturday morning ; but it was nearly two hours after that time, or at 9.50, that the train started, and then it did not get to Boulogne before 10 minutes past three in the afternoon. The mail packet, Prince Frederick Wil liam, remained in harbour until the last moment, and then steamed into the roads ; but no time was lost at Boulogne, for the 71 boxes of China, Calcutta, Bombay, and Australian mails (the largest number and the heaviest that ever came via. Marseilles) were down on the beach from the station, embarked in four good pilot boats, and on board the packet in 35 minutes, although there was a considerable swell on the bar. The vessel loft Boulogne Roads at 3.45 p.m., and against a strong E.N.E, wind and tide, and a heavy bead sea, arrived a Dover in two hours and eight minutes.. Here every thing was in readiness. everybody eiretybody eager to assist, and Captain M 4 Dlwainisehhe Admiralty - superintendent ; Mr. James Walker, of George-street, Westminster, the Admiralty civil engineer ; and Captain Jenkins, the Mail Packet Service superintendent, were specially pre sent. Within 30 minutes the mails were in the special train, and under the direction of Mr. Eborall, the gene. ral manager of the South-Eastern Company, who went down to Dover for the official purpose, the mails ran up to London Bridge in 1 hour and 56 minutes, arriving there at 22 minutes past 8 p.m., Mr. Knight, the superintendent of the railway, having previously visited all the stations to clear the way. It will be seen that the efforts of the General Post office, the mail steam packet contractor, and the South- Eastern Railway, were defeated by the lost time be tween Marseilles and Paris ; for if the mails had reached St. Martin's-le-Grand by 7 p.m., which they would have done had express speed been run by the special train from Mar.eillrs, the Post-office authorities had made arrangements even at that comparatiiely late hour to deliver and despatch the letters the same evening. The following Wile of number of miles from Mar seilles to Paris, Boulogne, Dover, and London, the time occupied by railway and steam packet, and the average number of miles performed per hour, will nearly show how the ground was ran over : Average Railways • miles &c. Miles. Time, per hour Marseilles to Pari5...624 21b. Om. 30 Marseilles Paris to Boulogne ...169 sh. 20m. 31.7 N. of France Boulogne to Dover... 30 2h. Bm. 14 Mail Packet Dover to London ... 88 lh. 64 m . 11.32 So.-Eastern From Paris to London it will be seen that the time occupied by rail and. boat was 9 hours 22 minutes, and including conveyance from railway station to packet, and packet to station, &c., 10 hours 32 minutep. Had the French railway trains travelled at the same speed as the South-Eastern these mails would have been in Lon don more than nine hours earlier. The route via Boulogne was well-ordered on this as on previous occasions ; tor had the mails been dispatched via Calais, they could an, with the strong E.N.E. wind blowing, have been embarked in the roads ; but, ha I the wind been in the opposite quarter, no time would bave been saved via Boulogne. Special and mail trains have run the distance from Paris to Calais in six hours, which is at the rate of the South Eastern mai:-train speed, 39 miles an hour. At this rate, with one hour and 30 minutes' sea passage to Dover, and two hours' run from Dover to London, the mails could be con• veyed from Paris to London, via Dover and Calais, iaciuding the time of shipping and unehipping, in ten hours and a half. It may be that from these successful experiments with the India mails, some permanent advantage will accrue to the public in the acceleration of the mail services between England and the Continent. TEE GLASGOW CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND THE BANK ACTS. On Friday a meeting of the members of the Chamber of COMM.= e waabeld.in. the Merehants'- hall, Glasgow, to Ake into consideration the acts of 1844 45. Among those present were the Lord Provost, S . r James Campbell, W. Buchanan, Esq., M.P., the Dean of Guild, Bailie Clouston, W. J. Davidson, Eq., of Buobis W. Murray, Esq., of Monklands, W. P. Paton, R. Findlay, .1415 q., W. Brown, Esq., (be. Wm. Balfour, Esq., chair man of the Chamber of Commerce, presided. D. SANDEMA N", Esq., read the following resolu tions, which he submittel to the meeting for adoption : "1. That the arbitrary limitation of the Bank of Eng land's issues upon securities to 14 millions by the'Act of 1844 is insufficient fcr the present requirements of commerce in this country, and a large increased issue is now urgently called for. " 2. That the monopoly of banking now vested in the Bank of England is inconsistent with freedom of trade and with the advancement of agriculture and manufac tures, which would be greatly promoted by the formation of joint banks of large paid-up capital, placed as bankers in all respects on an equal footing with the Bank of England, and subject to necessary provisions for public security. "3. That the Act of 1845 confers a monopoly on the present limited number of the banks in Scotland, and this monopoly may be brought within still narrower limits by the winding up of the existirg banks. This monopoly is of itself a serious grievance, and is daily be coming more injurious to the interests of all classes in Scotland. " 4. That recent as well as former experience proves that the violent action on interest in the rate of discount by the Bank of England, whenever gold beyond a cer tain amount is withdrawn from foreign countries is ruin ous to commerce by causing a great and sudden inter ference of Parliament, and it is urgently required to devise some measure of relief, and not to trust to the capricious working of the Bank Act. "5. That this chamber petition both Houses of Par lament to repeal or amend the Acts of 1844 and 1845 tor regulating the issue of bank notes." Mr. BucluNAN, M. P., seconded the adoption of the resolutions. The DEAN' of GUILD suggested that the phraseo logy of the last resolution should be altered to the words "'to consider the propriety of modifying or repealing the acts." Mr. SANDEMAN acquiesced in the alteration. Sir JAMES CAMPBELL proposed an amendment to the effect-- " That this chamber petition Government to consider the monetary system of the country, and whether some modifications in the provisions of the Bank Act of 1844 and 1854 be not advisable, more especially whether the extended commerce of the country does not call for a larger accommodation of paper currency based on public securities. After some discussion, the amendment moved by Sir James Campbell, and the resolution moved by Mr. S:oademan, were put to the meeting, when it was found that the amendment was lost. NORTHUMBERLAND AND DURHAM DISTRICT BANK. NEWCASTLE -ON-TYNE, SATURDAY. This laas been market-day, and, as is usual, the town has been crowded with county people and pitmen.

" Steam-sbip Golden Fleece, Calcutta, Oct. 15, "My dear Captain Hall,—Oar prosperous and agree able voyage having now terminated, I trust you will allow me net only to congratulate you upon having, I believe, made the quickest passage between Enilanl and Calcutta on record, but also to express to you, in the mame of the officers of my own regiment and those cf the detachment of the 423 Highlanders, our sense of the liberal and courteous treatment that we have received while on board, and of the consi deration and good feeling evinced by yourself and all your officers in having studied in every possible . way the comfort and convenience of both officers and men, and I have to request th ,t you will convey these sentiments to Mr. Hurst and the rest of your officers, I can safely say, after a -good deal of experience, that I have never yet sailed in a vessel in which troops wera so well accommodated and cared for as they have been in this voyage. "I have only to add that our best wishes for the prosperity of the Golden Fleece and all on board will attend you wherever you go, and we hope that you may have a safe and speedy return to our native land. " Believe me truly yours, " IL D. KELLY, Lieut.-Colonel, 34th Regiment, Commanding Troops. " Captain Hall, Commander, steam-ship Golden Fleece." " Steam-ship Golden Fleece, River Hooghly, October 15, 1857. " My Dear Sir,—Allow me, in the name of my offi cers and self to thank you very sincerely for your courteous and handsome letter of congratulations to u 4 on our safe and expeditious arrival at our destination. Be assured we fully reciprocate all your kind wishes, and we feel that very much of the comfort of the voyage to which you refer has resulted from the ex cellent discipline of the troops under yeur coin mand, and is also in great measure due to the ready compliance of yourself and officers wish those sugges tions and regulations which we may have thought de sirable, and which are 133 necessary to the orderly con duct of a ship of this magnitude. The extraordinary healthiness of the troops is a subject on which we may offer you our sincere congratulations, nor do we doubt but that the same attention to detail which effected the admirably conducted embarcation has by its continu ance, in matters of order and cleanliness contributed largely (in conjunction with the ability of the medical officers) to this satisfactory result. May the auspicious voyage be a favourable augury for your further career, arduous though it doubtless will be ! We shall follow yotir movements with much interest, and, hoping that you will bestow an occasional thought on the Golden Fleece and ber officers, we unite most cordially in a re luctant farewell and kindest wishes to you all.

Downing and the party of non-com missioned officers and:mrn of the 38th Regiment who wore stationed at Sheffield for the purpose of taking charge of the recruits raised in that town have rejoined their depot at Chatham garri , on, as the recruits who are now being raised at Sheffield will be attached to the newly formed battalion of the 2d Queen's Royals. The following officers have joined the depot c3m panics of their respective regiments at Chatham previously to embarking for India—viz., Capt. H. W. P.

Consid.et able activity prevails in the shipbuilding department at Chatham Dockyard in consequence of the Admiral y order for the completion with all possible despatch of the vessels now' in progress at tha' establishment. Vise-Admiral Sir M. F. F. 13.-Tkcloy, on quitting the Admiralty, has I), stewed the promotion, as in the case of an admiral hauling down his flag, on Commander Maxse, ser ring in the Ariel steam sloop at Gibraltar. Commander CharLa Bromley has received the command of the Ariel, vice Maass. The Admiralty having placed a, commander's commissiou at the disposal of Rear-Admiral Sir Michael Seymour for the reward of the lieutenant who ha'l most oiginguished himself in the lateope rations in the China river, Sir Michael has con ferred it on Lieut. R. V., Hawkins, in command of the gunboat Haughty. Sir Michael has appointed Lieut. M. C. Seymour, junior additional lieutenant of the Calcutta, to be his Flag Lieutenant. Dr. Robert Beith, R.N. has been appointed an additional surgeon of the R.N., Naval Hospital at Has'ar to assist the inspectors. He joined last week. A detachment oL Royal Marine Light Infantry, consisting of Lieut. Butcher, 2 sergeants, 2 corpo rals, ,1 bugler, and 43 privates, proceeded from the divisional head-quarters at Gosport yesterday morn ing to Plymouth to join Her Majesty's ship Cambrian, just commissioned at that port One sergeant, one corporal, and 20 gunners of the artillery companies proceeded, at the same time, from Portsmouth head-quarters for Chatham, to join the steam c zvette Racoon at that port. One corporal and 10 gunners are also ordered to join Her Majesty's ship Curacoa at Portsmouth. The appoin'stent of Barrackmaster of the Gos port division of Royal Marine Light Infantry is about to become vacant by the retirement of Major Moore. Touching the epidemic which we reported on Thursday last as having necessitated the removal of a number of the Royal Marine L'ght Infantry battalion quartered at Gosport to Woolwich and other quarters we have made further inquiries, and find the matter to be of some moment. The num ber of cases admitted into the wards of Halsar Hospital under the directions of Dr. Nesbit, the Medical Inspector, led him to make POIDO inquiry as to the cause, and to represent the necessity of certain sanitary measures, which the surgeon of the Royal Marine Division ftlt also to be desirable. The Adjutant• General of the Marine corps after wards arrived from town and instituted an inquiry into the state of the barracks at Forton. A repre sentation was then made to the Admiralty through Capt. Dacres, C. 8., and the result was an order to remove two companies to another locality, to im prove the ventilation, and to shut up a well which had been polluted by communication with a drain, and get the water supply from another source—St. Ann's well, in contiguity with the barracks. The number of cases of fever was daily decreasing. During October the number sent to Haslar exceeded 100 ; during the present month about 30—of the,. 4 have died, 3 within the last two days. As this epidemic has shown itself elsewhere (at Fort Cum berland) with much the same results, it would be difficult to attribute its appearance to any parti cular cause; but in the present instance its effects have, no- doubt, been aggravated by local causes, which have existed, more c r less, since the Forton Barracks have been occupied by the Royal Marines. The St. Vincent, 102, Capt. Eyres, C. 8., was paid wages on Saturday in Portsmouth harbour, and Rear-Admiral Martin mustered her crew. The Diadem, 32, Capt. Moorsom, C.B. is ex pected to make another trial of her speed to-day at Portsmouth. The Rhadamantims, steam transport, arrived at Portsmouth on Sunday afternoon from Plymouth with supernumerarie-. By the death of Admiral of the Red Thomas Le Marchant Gosselio, the following promotions occur immediately all through the flag list, the gallant de ceased being the senior admiral of the navy, and probably the oldest man in if, having died at the great age of 93. Admiral of the White Sir G. Mundy, K.C.8., to be Admiral of the Red. Admiral of the Blue John Apcough, to be Ad miral of the White. Vice-Admiral of the Red Wm. Bowles, C. 8., to be Admiral of the Blue. Vice-Admiral of the White Sir B. Reynolds, K.C. 8., Commander-in-Chief at Plymouth, to be Vice-Admiral of Ve Red. • Vice-Admiral of the Blue Sir C. Sullivan, Bart., to be Vice-Admiral of the White. Rear-Admiral of the Red Sir J. B. Plumridge, K. 0. 8., Superintendent at Devonport, to be Vice- Admiral of the Blue. Rear-Admiral of the White Wm. Sandom, to le Rear-Admiral of the Red. Rear-Admiral of the Blue the Right Hon. Lord E. Russell, C. 8., to be Rear-Admiral of the White. Captain H. T. Austen, C. 8., to be -Rear-Admi ral of the Blue. By the promotion of Admiral Plumridge and Captain Austen the Superintendence of DeVonport and Deptford Dockyards becomes vacant, and a LAUNCHING THE LEVIATHAN. Thetedious process of moving this gi g antic struc ture to the water was recommenced at 9o'clock yes terday morning, and was continued with the utmost success till a hitch occurred, and an annoying and irremediable accident to one of the hydraulic ma chines stopped further progress. This time the fact that the launch was takingplace was of course very generally known, but the public appeared also to be aware that the whole process, after all, afforded nothing particularly well worth seeing to people who were outside the yard, and who could no more detect the motion of the vessel than they could discern the revolution of the earth. The number of spectators, therefore, whO braved the sharp cold wind and raw air of the river for the plor gratification which the sight afforded was very small, and even with these half-an-hour's exposure and speculation as to why her the vessel was moving at all or not sesmed to satisfy the most ardent. The work commenced at a few minutes bt-f :re 9 o'clock. There were then no men in the yard but Mr. Brunel and Capt. Harrison and their assist ants, and, of c )urse, also Mr. Yates, the Secretary, who since the vessel made her first slip seems re; er to have left the yard at all, but to have redoubled, if possible, the vigilance and care with which he has watched every step in her progress for nearly the - I*st four years. In the first effort to start h.r all the screw-jacks, as well as the hydraulic ma chines, were used, and, contrary to the expecta , dons of many, who ittagined that after, remaining a whole night upon the ways it would be very diffi cult to stir her again, the great mass got into mo tion on the first pressure, an 1 began to e. osp very slowly down tha ways. H. r progress at first was at the rate of an inch in about two minutes, but after a while it improved, and con•inued for some time at an inch per 40 seconds. As the vessel is now much advanced from the place at which the hydraulic rams are fixed, each time the pistons aro . driven out to their fill. pressure, con siderable delay is occasioned in _again fitting in beams of sufficient length to reach the cradles and push her on again. In most cases the beams are not long enough till joined in ono or more place - ., which again occasions loss of tiino, as in order to prevent their giving way laterally un.lor thetre mendous pressure iron plates have to be b Ateddown to the ways over the joiangs, and in addi ion they j ,have sometimes also to be bolded with iron ballast. All theseexpedients are absolutely -necessary-end essential to the safe progress of the ship ; thougli, nevertheleQs, they tell much upon her rate of ad vance. When the 1 o'clock bell rang for dinner the total distance accomplished was 413 inches forward and 423 inches aft, showing that during yesterday morning's work the stern instead of being 26 inches b Alin(' the bows was in advancei of t em. During the whale morning the rate of advance was as regular and noiseless as on previous occasions, the only chance being that the metals, if anything, showed st 11 leas signs of friction, and there was an evident tendency of the vessel to move at a much slighter rate of pressure. _ The men returned from dinner and recommenced their work a little before 2 o'clock, but the hour's pauso seemed to have exercised an adverse influence on the further progress of the ship. For a long time it was very diflicutt to move her, though the screw jacks and hydraulic machines were pressed to their utmost, and the men at the double windlasses broke the great mooring chain which dragged her bows to the stream. Suddenly, 'n the midst of all their efforts, the monst er slipp e d on the ways-5 inches forward and 9 inches aft. She slid this distance in the space of a single - second, and with an awful rumbling kind of noise, which at once seemed dis tant and alarmingly near. This sudden motion and her tremendous vibration surprised and alarmed the men, who all dropped their tools and stood prepared to run at the first signal of danger. There was not, however, the least occasion for alarm, and the pressure was again gra dually applied to the cradles on every part with redoubled vig mr, but all in vain. The jerk and sudden stoppage evidently fixed her with unusual firmness, and no efforts could dislodge her, though the pressure from the rams was applied with such force that a beam 17 inches square crumpled up like a reed and bounded into the air from a strain of about 800 tons. This wa soon replaced by another and a stronger beam, wh'cli was bound to the ways and loaded at the point with hallos'. This held out with the others for a long time, and the struggle between the pressure applied and the pas sive resistance of the great masses ortimber at last became one of almost terrible interest. The beam strained, cracked, and vibrated, the escape valves of the rams were loaded with weights and held violently down, the men could scarcely move the handles, but still th© vessel did not yield. In the midst of these great united attempts a loud dull explosion, followed by a rattling sound, occurred, and in a minute aft .r it was known that one of the 10-inch hydraulic rams had burst its cylinder from top to bottom. Tho thickness of solid hen which had thus given way tinder the pressure of a few quarts of cold water was 7' inches, and a corn pari,on of tbo diameter of the piston with the force it was ex rting on the area of timber showed that the cylinder had only yielded under the stu pendous pressure of some 12,0001 b. or 13,0001 b. to the square inch. Of course, no ill effects attended its bursting. This accident, which put an end to ail further efforts for the day, was much to be re gretted, as just before it took place it had been decided to continue work all night, so as to bring the Leviathan within good reach of this day's high water. About an hour before the accident 03• curred a message had b:en sent to Messrs. Easton and Amos for two more hydraulic machines, and one, if not bath of these, will be fixed so as to enable work to be resumed at an early hour to-day. Trot man's anchors will also be sunk in the river, and the tackle which hauls the vessel iu that direction made secure to those powerful holdfasts. Never yet since anchors were first made were any subjected to the tests which these must undergo, for it all goes well in the course of another day the Leviathan will bo quite out of reach of the hydraulic machines, and must depend entirely on the strain from the river. It was stated in our account of yesterday that all the dockyard moorings which have been used in these great attempts have repeatedly given way, but this was an error. We are informed it was the old city moorings which have broken down and up so often. Out of all the chain cables sup plied by the dockyard only one has broken yet, and every aid which the Deptford authorities could offer Mr. Brunel has been most cheerfully placed at that gentleman's disposal. The high tide of last slight would for the first time place about 12 inches of water under the keel of the Leviathan. If an average amount of success attend this day's efforts, the high water at two o'clock will place about six in fee su t under he to r cfleonattre,haenr,d will attholeuagalti,toafkecoaubrosted, 5,000 tons off the dead weight on her ways, and so facilitate her progress that it is confidently hoped by Wednesday or Thursday at latest she will be brought all safe to her moorings in the Thames.
