ALBERT, M.D., a Member of tho Univer sity of Paris, Professor of Pharmacy, Apothecary to the Hospitals of Paris, Professor of Medicine, and honoured with several Modals and natioani rewards. No. 21, Rue Montorgeuil, Paris. Numberless and well-authenicated cases which hitherto had been considered as incurable by the Faculty, and which in a short time have given way under this treatment, are most unequivocal proofs of its superiority ever every other means as yet employed. It was for a long period of time a desideratum to discover a mode of cure adopted to all constitutions, and which should be !Yee from the bane ftul of mercury. We are now arrived at the solution of this problem by the discovery of a mods of treatment at once simple and easy, and which, without any degree of exaggeration, we can affirm to be infallible in the cure of all secret maladies, however inveterate or of long standing. The method of cure, according to 1)r. Albert, im economical and easy, either at home or on a journey, causing not the slightest derangement to the general health, and safe In all seasoms and In all climates. Sold by E. W.

Marriage requires the fulfilment of sev e r a l cond i tions, in order that it may be really the cause of mistrial happinee e s im " Could , vrh the n veil. which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed. In hew many could it be traced to physical diequedifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraright with advantage, becomeo, 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 aocoant 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 he el 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 unhappy victim of excessive indulgence aid vicious habits, whether acsmired In early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering' from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a tear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reacts 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 theeattse le s rc e a f l disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and , above all , secrecy , inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician , and to the medical man who can show by his posse - sioa of the requisite qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'MERT ham obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

WESTWARD PROGRESS OF THE Accounts from Maas, received yt dterc; ' horn, announce that on board the Fr.snch Government steam-packet Mentor, which arrived at that island on the 14th November, from Constantinople, Smyrna, and the Pincus, the lieutenant second in command had been attacked on the 16th with a disease of the bowels, which being suspected to be cholera, the steamer was ordered to seaon the 17th by the quaran tine authorities, and at the moment of getting under weigh, the patient expired under circumstances which left but little doubt of the identity of the disease. Fifteen passengers, among whom was the Chevalier Cordova (with his family), late Spanish Minister at the Sublime Porte, had fortunately for them been already landed in the Lazzaretto, and were not of course called upon to re-embark, _ The Board of Health had previously, on the Bth of November, come to the following determination, in anticipation of some such case : As the cholera is now raging in several ports of the Black Sea, and in other places, the committee has come to a resolution to forbid the entrance into port of all those vessels earnin g from places where the cholera exists, which should have had cases of death by cholera, or persons sick, within ten days of their approaching this island, which vessels will remain under sail outside the harbour for such period of time as the committee may consider necessary, it being well understood that such period can never be I?ss than ten days frcm the day of the last case occurring on board. " The doctor of the quarantine department will go alongside of such veqs.ls, to obtain the requisite in formation, which must be sent to the health committee. " Vessels under such circumstances, on being ad mitted into the port of quarantine, must consume such a period of time as the committee shall decide upon." At, d on the 16th, in consequence of receiving ac counts from Lord Cowley, her Majesty's Charge d'Affaires at the Sublime Porte, to the effect that between the 24th of Octob e r an d the Bth of Novein btr, notwithstanding the prevalence of cold (and consequently favourable) weather, nine cases had occurred at Constantkople (though in some of them the medical men were not agreed as to the positive nature of the disease), considered it necessary as a matter of further precaution to ex tend the period of a quarantine from ports where the cholera actually prevails to twelve days for passen gore (whether by merchant vessels, ships of war, or steam-packets, and to fifteen days for goods of a sus ceptible nature ; these latter to undergo due depura ration in the Lazzaretto, a practice which had been discontinued on the reduction of the Levant qua rantine. A board of health was sitting on the 18th to con sider whether any further restrictions were called for in consequence of the fatal case of the day preceding, but up to the post hour no resolutions had been come to. If the present regulations are strictly acted up to, some difficulty or inconvenience may arise in the sending on the India mails by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamers arriving at Malta from Constantinople, should they chance to have had sick ness on board, for it will be next to impossible to coal a steamer in the winter months, unless she be admitted into port, a circumstance which we unier stand has been brought under the official notice of the authorities by the company's agent at Malta, and which, no doubt, was under discussion by the Board of Health at its sitting above referred to. On former occasions, St. Paul's Bay, some dis tance from Valetta, was destined to receive vessels having sickness on board. From Constantinople, under date of the Bth of November, they write, that the cholera snakes no progress, owing to the cold weather. There have been only thirteen cases in many days, and only four of them fatal. It does not appear that the disease will be malignant. Accounts from I3agdad are con soling—the cholera has ceased in that city, and other neighbouring places. Dr. Drotz, who has studied this sickness on the spot, is convinced from experi ence that by the assistance of sanitary measures, to be strictly observed, an end may be put to this scourge. Trebisonde is entirely free from cholera; it has also ceased within thirteen leagues of that city. From Palermo accounts to the 22d October, men tion, that stringent regulations have been adopted by the Board of Health of that city, respecting all ves . sels coming from ports where the contagion has ma nifested itself. ~ S U. i N NOVEMBER 29, 1847. • RIVER PLATE. -Ekirticts from letters received frOM Buenos . per packet, &c. : — the commodore, to land th e r e the Buenos Ayres snail has b "Bu Buenos m o adet .171 n Ayres, S ell l t o .l t Video3e 1847.

HORRIBLE MURDER AT MADRID. -44tacatis- Nov. 22.—A murder was committed on graesday loot which his---giveg, : rise to` the otrongeo worts, though at. fiati& appOttre'd ; lnerely on ordinary case of robbery as the Object, stud of murder as the Means of effecting it. Senor Fullers, chaplain of the Duke and Duchess of Rianzares, occupies a house or suite of apartments, situated in the lower story of the p o a n l i a y c e pe of rs o t n h e l livinga tte r in with h th im e Cale de la wa l sa feinai s e Rejas. hous e k e e T pc h r e , who is spoken of as being good looking, though not very young. It appears that the chaplain had gone out on the afternoon in iquestion to purchase some, books in the Calle del Leon. which is quite at the opposite part of the town. He returned at five, and found Abe unfortunate woman lying dead on the floor in a pool of blood, with her head nearly cut off, in fact only retained by some fragments of skin. It is said that there were marks on her person which indi cated that she made a desperate resistance. A gilt button, with some blue cloth attached to it, is said to have been found on the ground. No cries were heard. The murderer, whoever he was, had washed his hands afterwards in the wash-hand basin. It does not appear that any suspicions have fallen on the chaplain, who is said to have found, on looking about the room, that four dollars and some copper money which he had left there were missing, and also a small miniature portrait. The idea of robbery having been the object has, however, given way to other reports, upon which the Eco del Comerci• has the following remarks. It says :—" In our num ber of yesterday we copied what the Popular said about the horrid murder committed in the house of the Duke and Duchess of Montmorel, and respecting which very significant rumours have been circulated. No one could give the news earlier than the Eco, since, from its proximity to the Calle de las Rejas, it m sbwi hour ct,ryaat efet because hd f sti r aherdo u veei in i cynst t f tcrw u kpheo l neaess sort i or esw n haro e.nri n srle, news, had occasion to know it early in the morning—an I s e i cs l o e i ain n s t : , e c riEooucfs°acnnr ecclesias tic, c s c e h a io s c hus,ru resistedc prudenceh, m i might h a ve rhuadravesen denied, na turally increased by the circumstance of the murder having been committed in a house of such category, where it is not easy that they can allow persons, un : less well known, or who state the object which takes them there, to enter, since no one will believe that free entry is given in the house of the Duke and Duchess to all who go there. But there is more : the murderer seems not to have feared any surprise, and to have acted as if he had ben in his own room, since he washed the hands, which he had stained with the blood of his victim, in the wash hand basin. It belongs to the tribunals to appreciate the commenta ries that are made in consequence of this event, arid the suspicions connected with it, if indeed they do not hold back before the considerations which retain our auawNnhlenoessoedult Nevertheless s a oweial s enri hfstthehoohow:efeul aess nseeskr atrocious servants tell one another selves." It is astonishing how little the journals occupy thpinselves with th e mur d e r committed in the palace of queen kiln J!!,1114. . •1.- -1- , ,lnct, has been arrested, but that he is able to prove that he had been away for four hours when he returned that afternoon, while the medical men who were called in state that the murder could not have been committed more than three-quarters of an hour be fore they saw the body. It should be obseryed that there is a constant guard of soldiers who parade before the Palace, and that neither the sentinels nor the porter of the establishment had seen any one enter or leave about that time, and, consequently, the inference that it must have been committed by some one in the Palace is almost beyond doubt. The murdered woman "had recently arrived, it is said, from Valencia, and was about thirty years of age. The body was taken to the usual receptacle at the Hospital de San Carlos. The local tribunal of the district is said to be occupied in investigating the matter. ------- - NEW ELECTION FOR EDINBURGIL—Mr. Cowan has resolved not to attempt taking his seat for the city, having been at the time of his election a Government contractor. Ile has now got rid of the contract, and is to offer himself for re-election. This is precisely the course which, after the fact of his being a contractor transpired, we said would ultimately be found necessary, and which some of our contemporaries, who had not taken the trouble to examine the facts and the statutes. set down as ridiculous. Mr. Cowan was in no danger from a petition ; but he was at the mercy of any in former who chose to sue before a civil court for the sum of 5001 for every day he retained his scat. There i 3 at present no probability of any opposition to his re•elee lion. We believe we may say that at least none is con templated or desired by the leaders of the party that supported Mr. Macaulay during the late contest. As to the Tories, we may infer, from the extensive support they formerly gave Mr. Cowan, that they are well enough pleased with things as they are.—Scotsman. STORY OF THE PENINSULAR WAR.—We are re• quested to state that Mr. Colburn has this day published part 1., price 2s. 6d., with illustrations, of "The Story of the Peninsular War," by the Marquis of Londonderry ; a companion volume to "The Story of the Battle of Waterloo." Also, just published, 2. Vol. XI. of " Lives of the Queens of England." 3. " Sir George Simpson's Overland Journey Round the World," 2 vols. 4: ."

TESTIMONIAL TO BENJAMIN HAWES, ESQ.—O❑ Friday evening a meeting of the subscribers to the fund for presenting a testimonial to Benjamin Hawes, Esq., ono of the late Members for the borough of Lambeth, was held at the Horns Tavern, Kennington, for the purpose of receiving the report of the committee ap pointed to receive subscriptions, and to recommend to the subscribers the most suitable form in which such memorial could be offered. Laurence Redhead, Esq., was called to the chair; and having briefly stated the object of the meeting, the secretary read the report of the committee, showing that the sum of 7001. had been received, and that additional sums had been promised. The committee recommended that the fund should be applied to cover the expenses of any election that might take place for the return of Mr. Hawes to Parliament for any borough that might seek his services—a reserva tion of 1001. being made for the purpose of presenting to Mr. Hawes a piece of plate bearing an inscription that should set forth the object for which the fund had been raised. On the motion of Mr. Hooper Hartnell, seconded by Mr. Sim, a resolution embodying the sug gestion of the committee was unanimously adopted.— Surrey Mercury. FOREIGN POTATOES.—The recent arrivals of this esteemed vegetable from abroad have comprised some from the Hanseatic taWns of Hamburgh and Bremen, Holland, Denmark. Belgium, and Guerni.ey, and one from Sydney, New South Wales, the largest being from the first-mentioned place, the supplies from which have been of an extensive character. The notice of these im. I portations of potatoes in this succinct and general man ner, will be of much interest, as none took place during the greater portion of the summer and autumn. Two of the supplies from Hamburgh took place in vessels be longing to Pwllhelli, the rest were all in British ♦essels or in ships belonging to the respective countries from which they took place. IMPORTANT TO Ii(11 . PLANTERS.—It is well that those who intend to grub part of their plantations should be aware that by the 42d section of the Tithe Act, hops grubbed before the 31st day of December, 1847, will not be liable to the extraordinary rent charge for the year 1848 —but hops grubbed in the spring of 1848 will be liable to the charge for that year. PRICE NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. SIR CHARLES NAPIER'S SQUADRON. PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 28.—Our last advices from the . . above squadron were to the 9th inst.; we now con tinue the interesting details from that date to the 20th " Nov. 9.--.At.8.30 A.M. signal was made Ven geance part company. She was soon under Weigh for the Mediterranean,•herhand'playing as she sailed past the other membe of the squadron, Should auld acquaintance he forgot,' and Rule Britannia!! The Howe, 120, Captain Sir J. Stirling, arrived, ans,l, came in -to-day from: Madeira, after disembarking the Queen Dowager. "The Hecate steam-stamp, Commander Moorman, sailed in the evening for the Mediterranean: • The Admiral inspected the-Odin steam-frigate, Captain the Hon. F. T. Pelham, this day, and made "ti veryJong and minute examination, exercised and trained her guns in every direction, hoisting out paddle-box and other bo:zts, &c., all of which manoeuvres were executed in a manner highly to the satisfaction of the Admiral, considering the short time she had been in commission. At 1.30 P.m., signal was made, "Hoist out, man, and arm boats,' which was promptly done, and they went up, the river under the command f Captain Afilne, of the St. Vincent, and exercised firing, forming line of-battle, and performing a variety- of other ma- , nceuvres. • " 10.—The Odin sailed for the Mediterranean to augment the steam squadron under the Commander in-Chief there, Vice-Admiral Sir W. Parker, G.C.B. " 11.—At eight A.M. up royal and topgallant yards. At nine, signal. made to Shift topgallantmasts and jib-booms. Caledonia was, as usual, first with top gallantmasts, then the St. Vincent, Canopus, Queen, and Howe . . ' with jib-booms, the Avenger steam frigate was first, but she having no flying jib-boom, enabled her to do thati next, the Caledonia, Canopus, Howe, Queen, and Dragon, and last the St. Vincent and Amphion. (Another Correspondent gives this manoeuvre thus,—' From sway and lower away royal and topgallantyards to the yards being crossed again, topgallantmasts were shifted,—Queen's in 15 minutes; Caledonia, 16 ; Canopus, 16i ; St. Vincent, 19 ; g.owe, aledonia was 52 minutes; 4itiati,3s i'lladWarStrbiettiptia,VlTTl9C Vincent, 90.') " A signal was made by the Admiral to snake better arrangements for shifting jib-booms. At sunset shifted topgallantmasts by signal as follows :—Cale donia, Howe, St. Vincent, Queen, and Canopus. (Another correspondent gives the manoeuvre thus, — Caledonia, 121 minutes ; Howe, 14k; St. Vincent, 15i ; Queen, 171; Canopus, 20; and adds, a slight accident happened on board the Queen, which re tarded her a few minutes.' Signal from Admiral to Caledonia, Make less noise.' General signal,— ' Admiral requests the pleasure of captains' company to-morrow to lunch at two P.M., to meet the King of Portugal. Full dress.') "12.—At nine A.M. a funeral - took place from the St. Vincent, to inter the remains of Mr. Riches, a a midshipman, who fell a victim to the typhus fever, alluded to in my last. The gallant deceased's re mains were interred in the English burial ground, followed thither by the captains of the fleet, and a brilliant staff of mourners from the ships. At one P.M. the squadron dressed ship and prepared royal salute, and at 1.30 his Serene Highness the Duke Bernard of Saxe Weimar and his son the Prince Her mann of Saxe Weimar, accompanied by Sir Hamilton Seymour, the British Minister, who were invited by Sir Charles Napier to meet the King of Portugal, arrived and were received on board the St. Vincent by Sir Charles Napier, at the gangway, under a royal salute; the St. Vincent's officers being on the quarter deck. At I'3o the captains and commanders of the squadron, who had been previously invited by signal repaired on board the St. Vincent in full state uniform, and were presented to their Serene High nesses. At 2.30 the squadron manned yards, as his Majesty the King of Portugal was observed coming down the Tagus in his state barge. At 2.40 his Majesty, with the Prince of Portugal, Duke of Oporto, and one of his principal aides-de-camp, was received at the gangway of the St. Vincent by the Admiral in full uniform. Their Serene Highnesses the Duke and Prince of Saxe Weimar, and all the captains and commanders of the fleet, also the officers of the St. Vincent in full dress, received his Majesty On the quarter deck, when the royal standard of Por t uwal was hoistcd and a salute fired from all the squadr n, which the foreign men-of-war joined in, the bands playing the Portuguese national air. After the cap tains and commanders had been presented, his Ma jesty and suite visited the decks and store- rooms of the St. Vincent, whilst the crew were at divisions. the respective officers of the ship being presented on passing. After visiting every part of the ship, his Majesty, the Prince Royal, Duk - of Oporto, Duke of Saxe Weimar, Prince of Saxe Wt mar, his Excellency Sir Hamilton Seymour, and all the captains of the squadron partook of a sumptuous dsjeuner with Sir Charles Napier, the magnificent service of plate presented by the city of London to the Gallant Admiral for his success in capturing the Allgnelite squadron, being laid out on the occasion. On cue ~..--:..,a rou nd. Sir Cnarles gave The health of the Queen of Portugal, with three times three cheers, the band playing the Portuguese na'ional air. His Majesty the King of Portugal acknowledged the compliment, and gave The health of her Majesty the Queen of England,' three times three cheers, and many more followed this, the band playing God save the Queen.' His Excellency the British Minister, Sir H. Seymour, returned thanks, and proposed The health of his Majesty King Ferdinand of Portugal,' with three times three, the band, as before, playing the Portu guese national air. His Majesty briefly returned thanks, expressing his sense of the high marks of respect paid him by the Admiral and officers of the British squadron, and her Majesty Queen Victoria's representative, also the gratification of himself and sons with the inspection of the flag ship that day. The brilliant assemblage then broke up. " His Majesty having expressed a wish to visit the Queen, 110. the barges were got ready, when the Duke and Prince of Saxe Weimar accompanied his Majesty in the state barge, a royal salute being fired on his leaving the St. Vincent. Sir Charles Napier and Sir Hamilton Seymour also accompanied the royal party to the Queen, at the gangway of which ship the King was received by Captain Sir Henry Leeke and Commander Schomberg, all the other offi cers being stationed on the quarter deck in full dress, the usual compliments of royal salute, manning yards, guard of honour, &c., being paid, the seamen were at divisions. The royal party visited and inspected every part of the ship, and the King expressed his gratification and astonishment at the size and capabi lities of the splendid three-decker. After expressing his thanks most warmly, and highly complimenting the captain and officers, his Majesty left the Queen at 5.40 e.st., under the same ceremonies as on arrival. Altogether, the visit of his Majesty was a most splendid and imposing affair. The Tagus has not presented so enlivening a spectacle for many a year. " 13th.—The English mail arrived to-day. Squadron exercised topgallant and royal yards in the morning. The Admiral took up his quarters ashore for the winter to-day. " 14.—Sunday. No movements. " 15.—The Admiral went on board the Avenger ' steam-frigate, Captain Dacres, to inspect her, and continued for five hours examining every part of her, and performing every evolution in the service, with guns, boats, sails, masts, and yards, &c. She came out of the ordeal in a manner highly gratifying to her captain and officers, and satisfactory to the Admiral. Captain Dacres will be Flag- Captain immediately Cap tain Napier (his successor to command the Avenger) arrives. At 9.15 signal was made Shift courses, jib, and spanker,' which manoeuvre was performed by the ships in the following order :—Canopus, St. Vincent, Queen, Amphion, and Howe. The Cale donia was annulled. A funeral took place to-day from the Howe, a clerk (Mr. Spong) having died yesterday. His remains were interred in the En glish burial-ground, the officers of the squadron fol lowing. Captain J. Stirling, of the Howe, 120, gave a grand banquet on board to-day, to which 26 of the first people of the country were invited. Among them were the Marquis and Marchioness of Fayal, General Sada Bandeira, the Marchioness of Li mes, the Count and Countess Zeferini, Rear-Admtral Sir Charles Napier, Consul and Mrs. Smith ; Captains Moresby, of the Canopus, Sir H. Leeke, of the Queen, Milne, of the St. Vincent, Dacres, of the Avenger, &e. The august party met in the handsome cabin lately occupied by the Queen Dowager, and separated highly gratified with the hospitality and urbanity of Sir James Stirling, their gallant enter tainer. _ 16. No movements. ,617. The Sidon steam-frigate, Captain Henderson, C. 8., anchored at eight o'clock, five days from Ports mouth, with the Earl and Countess Dalhousie, family, and suite on board, the new Governor-General of India, en route for Alexandria. Sir Charles Napier and the British Minister called on Lord Dalhousie immediately after the Sidon anchored. After these visits the Earl and Countess proceeded on shore, and to Cintra, returning late in the evening on board the Sidon. At nine A at, signal was made for general quarters, and at ten to man and arm all boats, which was done in the following time and order :—St. Vin cent, 11 minutes; Caledonia, 12; Canopus, 19 (but - hei - launch was full of water which had - to be taken out) ; Howe, i ; Amphion, 13 ; Dragon, 24 ; Scourge, 30 ; Avenger, 31. The : steam-vessels'- paddle- boats were there, w hen they all pulled round the squadron, presenting a very pleasing sight, the weather being delightfully To-day Captain Sir H. Leeke gave a splendid d feu on hoard the Queen to the Duke of Saxe Weima - Prince Hermann of Saxe Weimar, th e Du an d Duchess de Terceira., Count and Counkn ,sterhazy, the Marquis and Marchioness of Fayal, ) the ) Spanish Minister, Senhor Ayllon, the French Minister, the Marquis and Marchioness Ferreira, the Captain of the French frigate Psyche, Count Gour don, his Countess and daughter, Sir Charles Napier and his Secretary, and all the Captains of the squa dron. It is almost needless to say the hospitality was sumptuous and the gratification universal. "13. The Admiral went on board the Avenger steam-frigate to-day, and made signal at 9.30 to the Dragon and the Scourge to weigh ; they proceeded down the river to Passo dos Arcos, anchored there, and commenced shot and shell practice, and fired ex cf;.dingly well. The Dragon, Captain Hall, per formed to admiration, having skot away no less than three targets, and then assisted the others to destroy theirs. They afterwards weighed, and under full steam, made a trial of speed up the river. The Scourge was first ; the other two were nearly equal. They _took up their former anchorage. The St. Vin rent hoisted ' optional' flag, and shifted jib-boom, being 70 minutes. The Sidon sailed at noon with Earl Dalhousie for Alexandria. . . 19. At 9.15 A.M., signal, ' Shift foretopsail yard,' which was performed as follows :—The Scourge, 24 minutes ; the Canopus, 26 minutes ; the Howe and the Caledonia, 31; the St. Vincent, 32; the Amphion, 33 ; the Queen, 35 ; the Dragon, 36 ; the Avenger, 48.

The Britomart, 10, Commander N. C. Chamber lain, arrived at Sierra Leone from England on the 27th of September. A letter from her of that date says—" Just after we anchored in came a prize taken by the Waterwitch .on her.passage home., The prize was in charge of Lieutenant Mansfield, of the Water witch, and while his men were aloft three of the slavers crew rushed on deck and stabbed him (Lieu tenant Mansfield) very dangerously. He could only just utter to the man at the wheel, ' Steer south, when he dropped. He was fourteen days without surgical aid, and when he arrived at Sierra Leone he was nearly dead. It is a kind intervention of Providence he has lasted the voyage out to tell the r-taleand bring-to justice his intended murderers. The pirates are • to be tried for. their lives. On, the Britn.i.. mart's passage out a man of the name of Oda wai loading a gun, when in the act of ramming borne the cartridge the charge exploded and not a vestige of the man has been seen since. It is considered he was blown to atoms, and that the fatal calamity was owing to the captain of the gun not serving the vent." At the date of our letter Lieutenant Mansfield was doing very well. The Asia, 84, Captain Stopford, flag of Rear-Ad miral Phipps Hornby, C. 8., sailed yesterday morn ing for the Pacific, calling at Plymouth. She takes out dispatches for the Queen Dowager at Madeira. The Comet steam-sloop, Lieutenant-Commander Rigge, arrived off Belem Castle, Lisbon, on the 21st, in four days from Plymouth. An order was received here on Friday directing the Admiral Superintendent to make the necessary arrangements for the formation of a library in tkis dockyard. It is to be accessible, under certain re strictions, to the workmen in the evening. All the men belonging to the battalion for musket drill are to be instructed, in addition, in the battery and field piece exercise, and every officer and man is to take his turn of duty. We are sorry to learn that the Admiralty have re fused payment of the head-money, amountitg. to 10,9001., for pirates condemned by the Admiralty Court, to her Majesty's ship Semarang, Captain Sir E. Belcher, who is going to appeal against the judgment to the Privy Council.—Nautical Standard. Woormicu, Nov. 27.—The Janus steam-vessel, when tried down the River on Wednesday last, was found to have acquired a speed of 7 1-10 knots per hour, making 17 strokes per minute, with 101 b. pressure, and 121 b. upon the condenser, the immersion of the vessel being 11 feet 3 inches forward, and 11 feet 8 inches aft. She was taken into the basin to-day to have her steam power tried by the dynamometer. The Stromboli steam-sloop, Commander Lord Aurelius Beauclerk, is under orders to leave Wool wich on the 15th of December, for Portsmouth, to be paid advance at that port. The Acheron steam-vessel, Captain Loll Stokes, will leave in the end of next week for New Zealand, where she is to be employed on the surveying service. At'e is to take out a number of cases, and fig, mul herry, peach, and numerous other fine trees and plants Hof various sorts, with the seeds and germs of clover, gra , ses of many sorts, front Garrtiway and Moyes' !!ursery at Bristol. FLANDERS MAIL. CoNIMFACIAI. INTI.I.I.IGENCE.—PRAGUE, NOV. 21. -- The crisis which afflicted England so severely, and which could scarcely fail of producing bad effects on he Continent, had hitherto passed without causing any detrimental effects on our commercial • and financial interests. Money had not for years been so plentiful as this year, nor had the discount ever been so firm and regular as durirg the past months, when it was regularly between 4 and 6 per cent., consequently lower than in all the considerable markets of Europe. Great, therefore, was the consternation on 'Change to-day when the intelligence was communicated that one of our first houses, the loom-factory of Ritter, had suspended payment. Much sympathy is ex pressed by all for the highly esteemed and re spected head of the establishment, and likewise for the vast number of workmen who will be thrown out of employ by their failure : several hundred persons were employed in constant work, and the weekly payment amounted to about 5001. - It is earnestly to be desired that the business may be soon resumed. The amount of the debts is not yet positively known, but they are said to exceed 300,000 florins. A sad accident has occurred in our vicinity, at the new railway works at Aiming, where the Prague and Dresden line runs close along the banks of the Elbe, through immense masses of rock which are piled up there, and through which the road has to be cut, an employment in which thousands of workmen are at this moment engaged. A ferry which was going across suddenly sunk, with a number of men. About 30 of them sank to rise no more, several of them the fathers of families. STETTIN, Nov. 18.—The number of ships which have run into our harbour in the month of October is 186. They were chiefly laden with corn, especially wheat, likewise linseed, wood, and bricks. Our in land corn trade is becoming more active. During the severe gales, which have done so much damage to our shipping in the latter part of October, it was a remarkable fact that none of the dock works of the pilot station on the important Island of Ruden sus tained the slightest damage. Pius IX. AND THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA.—M. de Strowe, Ambassador Extraordinary from the Em peror of Russia at the Court of Rome, in passing through Oppeln en route from Rome, stated that he was the bearer of a treaty concluded between the Pope and the Emperor of Russia. By this contract the Roman Catholic Church in Russia will be placed in a more independent position, and will enjoy the privilege of communicating direct with Rome. The Bishops are to be presented by the Emperor to the Pope, who reserves to himself the right of confirming or of rejecting the choice of the Emperor. M. de Strowe, who was six weeks at Rome negotiating this affair, and who, be it said in possant is a Protestant, is enthusiastic about the Pope, and full of admiration of his great and amiable character. THE PRUSSIAN DIET.—The Gazette de Cologne states as a positive fact that the committees of the Prussian Diet will be convened for the 15th Jan uary, and that the letters of convocation , which will s tte h e or s t ly be issued, limit the discuss ions of the comm ittee s to one th e penal code.—Belncee subject only, namely , Mail, Nov. 25.
