appears, to ourselves, we repeat, (in one respect)
eminently gratifying to bear in recollection even
such (from another point of view) terrible and
appalling figures, as to the number of our convicts,
and as to tho expenses incurred by us in the treat-
ment of our whole criminal population. For we
cannot, of course, lose a remembrance of the fact,
that circumstances will now compel us to deal
with the inevitable evil at home, now that the Act
16 and 17 VIOL c. 99, has virtually put an end
to the unjust but convenient punishment of crimi-
nals by transportation. Beyond which circum-
stance, yet another and infinitely more important
one thrusts itself upon our consideration, the fact
that by all those disbursements the nation is sys-
tematically striving, upon an Imperial scale wor-
thy of the glory of the British Crown, to reclaim
frem the Slough ofDespond in which they have been
hitherto almost irredeemably immersed, the fright-
ful throng of adult and juvenile offenders making
up that mass of ignorance and criminality long
recognised by statesmen and philanthropists as the
fatal plague-spot upon the body politic.

THE BALTIC FLEET.

LANDSCIMA, April 3.—The advanced squadron of
the Baltic fleet arrived at Elsineur on the Ist of April,
but owing t, the masses of drift ice and strong current
were unai,le to remain there ; three, the Arrogant,
Tartar, and Cossack, having parted their anchors, so
they all got cadet-weigh and proceeded to this anchor-
age,
whore trey were joined by the Atuphion to-day,
one of the "lame ducks ;" another, the Archer, has
not made ter appearance. The Amphion got on
shore near this anchorage through the ignorance of
the pilot, but it is not supposed that she has in-
jured herself, as the mod appeared to be very soft.
Thelmperieuse aid Euryalus, being of too much draught
of water to pass through the Sound, parted company
for Kiel, leaving the squadron under the command of
Captain Yelerton, her Majesty's ship Arrogant. Some
of the colliers4kent out to supply the squadron with coals
have fared but badly, one having foundered, and two or
three others more or less injured, when trying to pass
the Sound. This is a very snug little harbour, and it is
expected thtt the ships will remain here till the Sound
is entirely clear of ice. We are all in want of coals,
having steamed the whole distance from the Downs in
almost a perfect calm, with most delightful weather,
smooth seas, and a cloudy sky.

ART CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE

PATRIOTIC FUND.

We have much pleasure i i again noticing this most
praiseworthy undertaking. [it seems necessary to re-
peat that the funds that are being raised at the Gallery,
121, Pall. mall, are exclusiitely for the benefit of do
widows and orphans of offieef•s who perish by disease or
by the sword of the enemy in the war with Russia. The
undertaking had not been set on loot for many days
before the committee were enabled to pay 7001. as a
first instalment into the office of " The Patriotic Fund"
at Westminster, and it is gratifying to learn that a large
sum has since accumulated. Of course the contribu
tions from the members of the Royal family excite the
greatest interest. The Princess Royal's composition
and drawing of a soldier's wife finding her wounded
husband on the field of battle has already realised 200
guineas, and upwards of 300 persons have subscribed a
guinea each for facsimiles of the drawing on chremii-
lithography. Some of the contributions are designated
in the catalogue as those of "a lady of title" (we cannot
resist lifting the veil, and revealing the name of the Mar-
chioness of Waterford), and those of the Ladies Augusta
and Honoria Cadogan. Theie lady amateurs are evi-
dently inspired with a true and dignified view of art.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
which have proauced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any
;they class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is
particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded
t se health, happiness, and privileges:to which every human being is
e ititled.
It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there are
irinciples of personal management which cannot be violated without
incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties
may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
tr.d bow the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all,
Viet there to scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
:erangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a care.
The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive
raw ice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have
unfortunately teen too generally confided to the care of ignorant
smpirics, who inflict great injury on those wh are induced to place
faith in their pretensions.

THE HANG° MURDERS.

The following letter, with its enclosure, has been ad-
dressed to a contemporary :
Sir,—The enclosed letter from Captain Fan shawe, of
her Majesty's ship Cossack, may probably be thought
Worth yof insertion in your paper. It was addressed to
the mother of one of the officers killed by the Russians
at Hango Head, and is very creditable to C•mptain Fan-
ahawe, as well as consolatory to the friends of the young
and promising officer, whose character is so highly
spoken of.—l am, sir, your obedient servant,
R. BECK.
58, High-street, Chatham, June 18, 1855.

(Copy.)
Her Majesty's ship Cossack, Gulf of Finland,
June 8, 1855.
Madame—You will have heard of the great loss you
have sustained in the melancholy death of your son. I
cannot hope to offer any words that can alleviate the
distress you will suffer under the immediate pressure of
',3? heavy an affliction, but I yet trust that when the
bitterness of grief has in some measure pamied, it will be
a Consolation to know how much your son was esteemed
On board this ship.
Ilia conduct, both in his duties and in private,
alwayswas
most unexceptionable, and I am sure that we
Shall all retain feelings of the greatest respect for hie
memory.
Permit me to add, that none will entertain these
sentiments with more warmth than your very obedient
hervant, E. G. FANBRAWE,
Captain, her Majesty's ship Cossack.

Mrs. Sullivan.

MARKET NE WS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
We had only a moderate supply of English wheat on
441 e in to-day's market, but nearly the whole of it was left
°Yer from Monday. There was a fair inquiry for most
'lnds at fell prices, but a total clearance was not effected.
, Foreign wheat, the show of which was tolerably good,
inanged hands slowly, but we have no change to notice in
the quotations.
Floating cargoes of grain were held on former terms,
but the inquiry for them was by no means active.
Earley moved off slowly, and the quotations were well
611PPorted. In the value of malt no change took place.
The oat trade was firm, at very full prices.
In the value of beans, peas, and flour, no change took
Place.
