Toe defences recently formed by the Russians, and
especially the Marcelo!) (a circular hill) newly taken
posoession of and fortified, having excited much atten-
tion ;13 being likely to play a conspicuous part in the
siege, Mr.Wyld, geographer to the Queen, with his usual
spirit and promptitude has brought out a sketch, by
means of which this very natural and praiseworthy
cariosity may be gratified. The sketch is by Lieut.-Col.

RUSSIA.

A letter from St. Petersburg of the sth, in the
Constitylionnel, says "
According to official reports w© have already a newly
organised force of 150,000 militia, destined to act as lon
auxiliary to the regular army. An imperia.l ukase has jest
nominated the officers to this body, and amongst them are
a great number of the meet distinguished Muscovite no-
bility. You see that the Government is thus hastening to,
accomplish the undertaking of the Emperor Nicholas. It
is doing, the same with all the enterprises which were
founded or commenced hi, his time. The Emperor Alex-
ander, in fact, carries them on with such energy that he
seems anxious to prove that he desires nothing so ar-
dently as to ident'fy himself with all the ideas of his fa-
ther. It was Baron de Stieglitz, the Court banker, who
proposed to erect in the Stock Exchange a monument
to the lite Emperor, as a protector of commerce. Toe
Emperor has conferred decorations on almostall the per-
sonages of distinction who have been sent here to cote
eratulate him, on his accession to the throne, To
General Prince Bernhard Soling Braunfel,, from the
King of Hanover, he has given the Order of Saint
Alexander Newski ; to. Count Mucich, the Marshal of
the Court of tLe Grand Duke' of Oldenburg, that of the
White Eagle ; the General.Beron Sallaba, 'sent by the
Emperor of Austria, the same order ; to the Swedish
General Count Stedingk, the grand cordon of the Order
of Saint Anne ; and to General Hoynan, the Minister of
War of the Elector of Hesse Cassel, the same dectirat ion:
General Grunwald has arrived from Warsaw. The Em-
perm. Alexander has ordered the Minister of the imperial
Eteusehold to leave untouched the aeartmer.ts of the
late Emperor ; and for the present, for the sake of eco-
nomy, no change will be effected in the state apartments
—nor in those which the present Emperor occupied
during his father's lite time. The Minister of War has
just ordered immense supplies for the army. The Grand
Duke Conaaritine is very active ; and he consults with
the Emperor on all that concerns the maritime defence
of the COlintry."
A letter from Odessa of the 31st ult. states that
General Serniotille, the chief of the staff, has
resigned, on account of,the state of his health, and
that he will be replaeed by General Uschakoff.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORD —(YESTERDAY.)
The Loan CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.

NEW PEER.
Lord RAVENSWORTiI took the oaths and his seat.
DEAN FORESTS, &c., BILL.
On the motion of Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY,
this bill passed through committee.
CHARITABLE TRUSTS BILL.
On the motion that this bill be read a second time,
The LORD CHANCELLOR said the first object of
the present bill would be to increase the powers of the
Charitable Commissioners, soasto enable themto do more
good than they have hitherto been able to do.
It bad been charged against the board that they bad
done very little. The fact was that they had done a
great deal, but they required further powers, which the
present bill would confer. Within the last year
about 1,100 applications bad been made to the
board by parties connected with charities, and the im-
portant functions of the board were to advise the trus-
tees and others connected with charities ; and if such
parties acted upon the advice given them they
would be indemnified. The bill was also to
authorise the commissioners to give powers to the
trustees of charities to lease lands for building
purposes. The measure further proposed that
the appointment of the commissioners should be
permanent instead of being temporary, as they had
hitherto been. The Commissioners were also to have
the power of apportioning local charities, when such
charities were to be divided, subject to the approval of
the Court of Chancery. Provision was further made for
the appointment of an official assignee, who would
be bound to see that the property in question was
properly treated and not mismanaged. In respect to
the Roman Catholic charities, he (the Lord Chancellor)
felt that it was necessary now to deal with that subject.
There was a great deal of difficulty attending thi4 part
of the subject. He bad, however, endeavoured to meet
those difficulties, and he intended to have the bill printed,
and to allow time for its consideration before proceeding
with the other stages.
Lord ST. LEONARDS said he did not object to the
second reading of the bill, but he thought as it contained
so many important clauses it would be best to refer it to
[select committee.
Earl GRANVILLE said he had no objection to the
curse suggested by the noble and learned lord.
The bill was then read a second time.
Their lordships then adjourned.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
sequences resulting trom certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
which have proaaced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
heed, end premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any
other class of dine se known to modern pathologists. Ha perusal is
pertieulerly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
tt.,dr phyeleal condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded
tee health, happiness, and privileges:to which every human being is
eetitlee
It is ateolutely necessary thatall men shoeld know, that there are
rrineiplos of personal management which cannot be violated without
incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
the heyday of inconsiderate self-irdulgence, how these penalties
may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
and how tire evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all,
teat there Is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
lerangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a care.
fheAuthor has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive
practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have
nnforlun leely been too generally confided to the care of ignorant
empiric, who inflict great injury on those wh are induced to place
faith in their pretensions,. _

SEBASTOPOL.

The defences recently formed by the Russians, and
especially the Mamelon (a circular hill) newly taken
possession of and fortified, having excited much atten-
tion as being likely to play a conspicuous part in the
siege, Mr.Wyld, geographer to the Queen, with his usual
spirit and promptitude has brought out a sketch, by
means of which this very natural and praiseworthy
curiosity may be gratified. The sketch is by Lieut.-Col.
VaUghan, and embraces the Mamelon and now Russian
defences, with the siege works of the allies, showing at a
glance the entire means of this descriptioa of attack and
defence, and the bearing of the one on the other. The
production is as well timed as the sketch is valuable.

Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cambridge
and the Princess Mary, attended by Baron Knesbeck
and Lady Suffield, left Cambridge Cottage, Kew, yes-
terday afternoon, on a visit to her Majesty at Windsor
Castle, during the sojourn of the Emperor and Empress
of the French at that regal residence.

that subject, but he believed that the matter was under
consideration.
Sir G. PECHELL urjed the r, storat:on of the fuun-

tain and sheet of water in Bushy-park.
Sir W. MOLES WORTH said it was proposed to re-
store that fountain, and a vote of 3,0001. would be asked
for that purpose.
Mr. WILLIAMS wished to know whether Windsor-
park cost any money last year ? In these most incom-
prehensible of all accounts, the accounts of the Woods
and Forests, it was represented as having cost 18,0001.
Sir W. MOLBSWO RTH said that he could not answer
that question, a 3 Windsor-park belonged to a portion of
the royal grounds that did not come within the scope of
the present vote.
_ _

Mr. WILLIAMS thought himself justified in press-
ing his question. There ought to be some one in the
house who was responsible for the department under
which Windsor-park was ranged.
]!dr. WILSON said that the land revenues had formed
the subject of serious consideration, and that the late
Chancellor of the Exchequer thought the accounts should
not be disturbed. The public wire only as it were in-
terested in the Crown property for the lifetime of the
sovereign, and it was not thought right for Parliament
to interfere for the management of that property beyond
what was stipulated for in the settlement of the civil list
at the time when that property was handed overfrom the
Crown to the public.
Mr. WILLIAMS thought the property of the Crown
was as much public property and ought to be managed
by the public for their benefit as much as any one of the
taxes that were levied on them. He protested against the
doctrine that, because property belonged to the Crown,
the house had no right to look into and superintend the
money expended on it.

QTRICTURE of the URETHRA : its Rational

By F. B. COURTENAY,

" We believe Mr. Contenay's expfflene, hi the treatment of stric-
ture during the lasi twenty years has emialltd, if, indeed, it hest not
surriasse,2, that of any of his contemporaries. It is, therefore, no
mater of sur.,r.se that he sh(!uld enjoy the reputation of helm:, a
most rlexterous and skilful manipu ator with urethral instruments ;
and when it is remembered that the lamented Liston USO,I to assert
that the introduction of instruments through a stricture which had
previously been impermeah7e to them, was the most difficult in the
whole range of surgical operations, it must be no slight source of
.ratification on'Mr. Courtenat's part to have achiend the reputation
he has in this res2ect ; and tor our part, with the knowledge we hate
of his experience,, we know of no man to whose care we would with

THE WORLD and its BEAUTIFUL LIGHTS
and SYMPAT TEA.

Br JAMES WAYMOUTEI.
London : Blackwood. Edinburgh: Menz;es

"In these poetical effusions the author has attempted a high flight,
and if he has not attained the standard of excellence of those great
poets he has adopted as his models, his, at any rate, will not be the
fate Of 'earns. Many portions of the work are highly poetical and
quite refreshing, after the trash, miscalled poetry, with which the
literature of the country has recently been flooded," &c.—Bristol
Mirror.

"Mr. Weymouth Is a Somersetshire poet, who has gained repute
by former productions. This volume is in three books, comprising
a succession of pieces descanting on the beautiful halts and happy
sympathies which stream through the heart of a poet who is alive to
the charms of nature and the better influences of humanity, evincing
amiable, earnest, and well-directed feeling."—Bristol Mercury.
"It cannot fail to establish your reputation as a poet."—Author of
the " Marriage Offering," &c., &c.
" Mr. Weymouth should know that while both in thought and feel-
ing he manifests much that is commendable, flowers of real poetic
genius drop from his pen. His aim is always praiseworthy, and his
sentiments pious and elevated."—Taunton Courier.

STRICTURE of the URETHRA : its Rational

By F. B. COURTENAY,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.

" We believe Mr. Courtenay's experience in the treatment of stric-
ture during the last twenty years has equalled, if, indeed, it has not
surpassed, that of any of his contemporaries. It is, therefore, no
matter of sm prise that he should enjoy the reputation of being a
most dexterous and skilful manipulator with urethral instruments ;
and when it is remembered that the lamented Liston used to assert
that the introduction of instruments through a stricture which had
previously been impermeable to them, was the most difficult in the
whole range of surgical operations, it must be no slight source of
gratification on Mr. Courtenay's part. to have achieved the reputation
he has in this respect ; and for our art, with the knowledge we have
of his experience, we know of no man to whose care we would with
Tresterconfidence entrust the-treatment of a severe case of stricture
of the urethra."—Medical Circular.

AFFAIR OF MLLE. DOUDET.

The Court of Correctional Appeal at the open-
ing of its sitting yesterday delivered its judgment.
The appeal aminima of therublic prosecutor, found-
ed on the fact that the former judges had neglected
to attribute to the facts imputed to the prisoner
the character of premeditation, was admitted. As
this circumstance allowed of the sentence being
raised from two to five years' imprisonment, the
latter term was pronounced by the court.
London, England, 1855-04-28

THE TRANSPORT SERVICE.

The General Screw Company's steam•ship Indiana,
Captain Lambert, lately employed in the French trans-
port service, but now engaged by the British Govern-
ment has been fitted at Southampton for the conveyance
of horses. She is capable of providing accommodation
for 225, boxes for 150 being arrayed on her lower deck,
and the remainder on her maindeck. The Indiana will
leave Southampton for Woolwich on Tuesday next.
The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Orinoco, which
has rendered valuable service in the conveyance of
troops to the Crimea, is still undergoing repairs and
alterations at Southampton. It is expected that she
will be ready for sea about the commencement of July.
The Orinoco is to be fitted with new paddlewheels of
considerably less dimensions than those previously be-
longing to the vessel.
_ _

The-Saldanha, one of the Black Ball line of Austra-
lian packets, but which has been fitted up at Liverpool
as a hospital ship, left that port on Thursday for Cork,
on her way to the Black Sea ; and yesterday the Great
Tasmania, a fine clipper ship, also belonging to Messrs.
James Baines and Co., and which has been fitted as a
hospital ship, sailed from Liverpool for. Portsmouth.,
where she'will receive troops and stores. If not required
to remain at Balaklava, they will return to England
with invalids. The principle of private enterprise, which
has proved so signally successful in connexion with the
railway at Balaklava, has been acknowledged in the de-
spatch of these vessels, Messrs. Baines and Co. having
contracted with the Government to feed the troops on
the outward and homeward passages at so much per
day.

The screw steamer Alps, belonginr, to Messrs. Burns
and Mqver's Mediterranean service, but which has been
occupied as a troop and store-ship since the war broke
out, will sail to-day from Liverpool for Woolwich, where
she will take on board heavy artillery and shot, beside.
men and horses, for the seat of war.

Yesterday shipments of stores on a very large scale
for the hospitals at Scutari and Smyrna, the Turkish
hospital at Eupatoria, and the medical staff attached to
the army in the Crimea, took place at the Tower-wharf.
The stores that have already been shipped consist of
bedsteads and bedding, water-pails, blankets, sheets,
hosiery, lint, bandages, linen, preserved nourishing foods,
tourniquets, and other surgical instruments. Very large
supplies of medicines, &c., have also been shipped.
London, England, 1855-04-28

MILITARY.

The following are the names of officers belonging to
the Turkish contingent who sailed from Kingstown on
Thursday for the Crimea:—Brigadier-General Evans ;
Majors Hartman, Carey, and Westmacott ; Captains
Willingten Guernsey, Connel, Robeson, Littlehales, St.
Leger, Nelson, Hamilton, Glover, and Ximenes,
On Tuesday a draught of the 2d (Queen's) Regiment,
consisting of 6 officers and 189 men, having arrived in
Cork from Waterford, en route to join the service com-
panies at the Cape of Good Hope, embarked on board
her Majesty's ship Hurkaru, transport, for that destina-
tion. Great enthusiasm prevailed among the troops.
On Wednesday a draught of the 60th Rifles embarked
in the same vessel for a similar destination. 108 rank
and file, with three officers, arrived from Dublin.
The Great Tasmania is hourly expected at Spithead
from Liverpool, to embark the following detachments of
troops :—The 7th Foot, 5 officers and 158 men ; 23d
Foot, 5 officers and 128 men ; 77th Foot, 5 officers and
128 men ' - EBth Foot, 5 officers and 128 men ; Rifle
Brigade, Ist Battalion, 6 officers and 210 men ; ditto,
2d Battalion, 5 officers and 208 men ; Medical Staff
officers ; total, 33 officers and 990 men, for the seat of
war in the East. The Arthur the Great transport
was to sail from Spithead last night at sunset for the
Cape, with the troops we enumerated some days since,
and the following officers :—Captain W. E. Adams and
Lieutenant H. Bellfield, of the 2d Regiment ; Captain
P. A. Mosse, Lieutenants S. B. Hole and W. F. Ben-
nett, Ensigns Parkinson, Bolton, R. Shiel, and H. J.
Lawrell, of the 6th Regiment ; Captain W. H. Barry,
Lieutenants R. J. Hereford and F. J. Greatrex, En-
signs W. J. L. Milligan and the Hon. C. R. M. Ward,
of the 73d Regiment, and Captain M'Donnell and En-
sign Cartwright, of the Cape Mounted Rifles. The ship
world have sailed yesterday evening, but was detained
from her fire annihilators not having arrived until the
express train last night.

THE MILITIA.
Recruiting for the City of London Regiment of Militia
progresses so favourably that the corps has been placed
under orders to be held in readiness for garrison duty.
It is expected the regiment will remove to Woolwich in
the early part of next week, whore it will remain until
sufficiently strong to relieve the garrison of the Tower,
the 94th Regiment being under orders for the Crimea,
and the detachment of the Guards being required for
duty at Windsor.

The Anglesea Militia, which was temporarili, reduced
to 34, is gradually recruiting its numbers, several of the
men have been reattested. The present strength of the
corps is about 100.

The Royal South Durham Regiment, the numbers of
-which have been recently reduced by the great majority
of the men hawing claimed their discharge, is filling up
steadily. At present it musters 210 men, and recruits
are coming in every day. It is believed that when the
strength of the regiment reaches 300 it will be marched
to the camp at Aldershott from Barnard Castle, where
it is at present billetted.
London, England, 1855-04-28

RUSSIA.

Private letters received at Berlin, on the 23d,
from St. Petersburg, state that the appearance of
that city denotes the activity displayed for the
energetic, continuance of the war. The Czar
devotes his whole time and attention to the mi-
litary preparations that are going on. Prince
Dolgorouky and General Rostowzow are daily
sent for several times by the Emperor. Count
Rudiger is also often seen hurrying to the Win-
ter Palace. The towns and villages around swarms
with soldiers of the militia, clothed in their
half military dresses. On their caps they wear a
cross, underneath are the words, in Russian,
" For Religion and the Czar."
