RETIREMENT OF THE DIRECTOR-GENERAL
OF THE NAVAL MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.

Sir William Burnett, K.H., after serving 33 years as
chief of the naval medical department, has placed his re-
signation in the hands of Government. Sir William has
attained the patriarchal age of nearly fourscore years,
and has set a good example by retiring at a moment when
the requirements of the times demand the talents of
younger ani more vigorous men. Sir William's
successor has not yet been named, but rumour mentions
Sir John Liddell, Dr. Bryson, and others. Whoever
may be the officer selected, of this we are satisfied, that
the Admiralty will have much to answer for if, after the
late exposures which have occurred in the sister service,
and the unfair treatment which has been awarded to the
assistant surgeons of the navy, an incapable man should
be nominates!.

N TRUE FA LSE SPERMATOItRHCEA,
with the View of distinguishing the Imaginary font the
Real Sufferers under this diseas', and C -irrecting of wide-spread
Errors in relation to their Treatment and Cure. From the German
of Dr. PICKFOR D. With an Introduction by the Editor, containing
a complete exposure of the system of terrorism and extortion pursued
by the advertising quacks of the metropolis towards those who are
credulous enough to seek their aid.
" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
-cat contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-niedi-
?Al reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall detect any
other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his .owor to cor-
rect."—London Medical Gazette. " The tribe of Quiet Sympathisers,'
and ' Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed; and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who gaffer from the com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much money ......This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhoett, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."

A SHELL WITHOUT A FUSE.

The attention of the Board of Ordnance has been called
to a newly-invented shell without a fuse, and so con-
structed as to explode at any given interval, according to
the desire of the person projecting it. It is the inven-
tion of a Frenchman.

The half-yearly change of quarters of the Household
Brigade of Guards is appointed to take place to-morrow.
The 2d Battalion of Grenadier Guards will be relieved
at the Tower by the Ist Battalion, and proceed to St.
George's Barracks, Trafalgar-square. The Scots Fusi-
lier Guards proceed from Trafalgar-square to Portman•
street Barracks, and the Coldstream Guards to the
Wellington Barracks, in Birdcage-walk, St. James's-
park.

THE BERNAL COLLECTION.

Viscount EBRINGTON presented a petition from the
Council of the Society of Arts, praying that steps may
be taken to secure the benefit of the Bernal Collection
for the nation, and moved that it be printed with the
votes.

THE NATIONAL GALLERY, &c.
Sir J. WA LMSLEY also moved that a petition be
presented to her Majesty in favour of the opening of the
National Gallery and British Mu.teum after divine ser-
vice on Sundays.

VIE ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS.
In reply to Mr. Hit/VELD,
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL stated that it was the
intention of the Government during the present session
to introduce a bill to abolish Ecclesiastical Courts, or to
transfer the testamentary jurisdiction thereof to any
other court, and to make one probate of will or grant of
administration of sufficient binding authority over the
entire property of any deceased person in all parts of
the United Kingdom, the colonies, or elsewhere within
the dominions of the Crown.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL also added, in reply to
Mr. COWAN, that care would be taken that confirmation
granted in Scotland should have equal validity and au-
thority with one probate or letters of administration
over the entire property of a deceased person in what-
ever part of her Majesty's dominions it may be situated.
WINTER CLOTHING TO OUR TROOPS.

Mr. J. G. PHILLIMORE asked the Secretary at
War if it was true that no winter clothing had been sup-
plied to the 46th and 63d Regiments in the Crimea ;
that, in consequence of that neglect, these regitnents
had been almost destroyed ; and whether any one bad
been dismissed or censured for that neglect I
Mr. F. PEEL said that be believed the winter cloth-
ing supplied to these regiments had been lest in the
Prince, but that inquiry was now being made into the

RUSSIA.

The Independccnce Beige publishes the following
letter, dated Hamburg, Feb. 22 :—" Since the in-
tention of the Western Powers to land an army in
Finland has been known in St. Petersburg, the
Russian Government directs its most serious at-
tention to that quarter. The last accounts received
hero from Finland, via Sweden, announce that
the military chiefs display the greatest activity in
placing in a state of defence all the points along
the coast of the two Gulfs where landings might
be effected."

A letter from St. Petersburg, 17th, in the Con-
stitutionnet, says :—" The Grand Duke Constan-
tine has lately paid several visits to Cronstadt,
where military works are in course of execution,
and several new batteries being constructed. The
Czar himself has also made several excursions
there, in order to satisfy himself that the arma-
ment of the forts in and around St. Petersburg is
being proceeded with."

ARRIVAL OF SICK AND WOUNDED.

On Monday the transport Sultana arrived off Graves-
end with sick and wounded soldiers from Scutari, and,
every preparation being made for their disembarkation,
yesterday morning they were landed at the Terrace-pier
with the tenderest care, and with every precaution re-
garding their comfort and convenience. A special train
had been in readiness, and, after partaking of a hearty
breakfast, they proceeded to Fort Pitt, Chatham. Mr.
Dobson, the Mayor of Gravesend, was on the spot, and,
as on a former similar occasion, tendered his services in
aid of the military authorities, who superintended the
disembarkation and departure for hospital of these poor
fellows, many of whom were severely wounded, and all
more or less sickly and feeble in body, but not broken in
spirit. Previous to the men leaving the ship a grateful
acknowledgment of the sense they entertained of the
treatment they bad received during the voyage from the
officer in command and the surgeon who had medical
charge of them was signed by them, 158 in number, and
presented to those officers.

Among the wounded was an intelligent Pole (a pri-
vate), who had deserted from the Russians and joined
and fought with the 47th Regiment.

THE TRANSPORT ALMA.

We (Times) published some time since an extract of a
letter complaining, as it appears falsely, of the accom-
modation on board the steam-ship Alma, which had
' then been just taken up for the transport service to the
Crimea. The following letter, addressed by all the
passengers to the captain, and dated Balaklava, proves
how unfounded was the statement of our correspondent:
—" Dear sir,--We have reason to believe that you,
even more than ourselves, have felt annoyed by a
letter regarding the Alma which appeared some
time ago in the Times, proceeding certainly from
none of us. On this account therefore particu-
larly we wish to express to you how very much in-
debted all of us who have been on board with you
till you reached this place have been to you for the
unvarying kindness and attention you have shown us,
how convinced we are of your own and your officers'
excellent seamanship, and how exceedingly comfortable
we have been on board ; at the same time, while we
state this more particularly with the wish of removing
from your mind any painful feelings the letter referred
to may have caused, we are glad of this opportunity of
conveying to you our thanks, and the assurance of our
good wishes for you wherever you go."
A circular has been addressed by the Lord Mayor of
Dublin to the governors of the various hospitals of that
city, requesting particulars as to the accommodation
available for sick and wounded soldiers and sailors arriv-
ing from the Crimea,

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, Feb. 24.—A few days since the Em-
peror presided at a Cabinet Council, at which, as is
said, the Eastern question with the approaching
Peace Congress was taken into consideration. As
soon as the Council was over Baron von Hess had
an audience of the Emperor. _ _

Prince Gortschakoff continues to affirm that his
Imperial master entertains the most peaceful in-
tentions, but still all the news received from
Russia bears a warlike character. Telegraphic
intelligence has to-day reached this city that
40,000 men are to occupy Revel and the neighbour-
hood. Troops coming from the interior of Russia
will be concentrated along the coast from Riga,
in order to prevent a landing on the part of the
Allies. On the 14th the fixed ice in the port of
Odessa extended two wersts into the sea.

SIR JAMES BROOKE.

Mr. DRUMMOND gave notice that on an early day
he should ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether
he had any objection to lay upon the table of the house
the report of the Commissioner appointed to try Sir
James Brooke for acts for which he had previously re-
ceived the approbation of the Government, and had
been rewarded by the Crown.
THE CONDUCT OF THE WAR.

Mr. ROEBUCK gave notice that on Thursday next

he should more the names of the committee for inquiring
into the conduct of the war in the Crimea, on which the
house had already deteimined. He would put the names
of the hon. gentlemen he should propose on the votes of
to•night. (Hear.)
TFIE CASE OF SERJEANT SULLIVAN.
Mr. FRENCH wished to ask the Government if

there were any reasons why Serjeant Sullivan;;;iocar-
ried the colours of the 39th at the Alma, and had the
singular honour of being specially reported by the Gene-
ral in command of his division to Lord Raglan hafi.. not
been promoted ?
Lord PALMERSTON, in reply, said that a special
power had been Oven to Lord Raglan to recommend
for a commission a non-commissioned officer from each
regiment who was deserving of promotion. With re-
gard to the regiment to which Serjeant Sullivan be-
longed, Lord Raglan had recommended the Serjeant-
Major for promotion, and as ono non-commissioned
officer in that regiment had therefore been elevated, no
commission could be given to any other non-cornnais-

sioned officer.
Mr. LAYARD inquired whether the noble lord had
any objection to lay on the table the despatch of General
Evans, in which Serjeant Sullivan's name was so hon-
ourably mentioned ? (Hear, hear.)
Lord PALMERSTON said he apprehended there
could be no objection to that, but he would let the hon.
member know on Monday.
BRIBERY AT ELECTIONS.

Colonel SIBTHORP asked the law officers of the
Crown, whether, in consequence of the act passed 10th
Avg., 1854, e. 102, anno decimo septimo et octavo Vic-
torix Regime, intituled, "An Act to consolidate and
amend the laws relating to bribery, treating, and undue
influence at elections of members of Parliament," there was
any prohibition to a candidate, who had hitherto exer-
cised what he did consider a duty, by giving certain assist-
ance or relief to persons resident in or near the city
or'borough which he represented, by the distribution of
coals and other articles of relief and assistance ; though

RECOVERY OF WASTE PLACES.

(From flee Athenceum.)
A. Committee of gentlemen connected with Blooms-
bury Chapel has, for several years, been at work
in St. Giles's, with a view to remedy some of the
evils existing in certain of its districts. A sys-
tem of house-to-house visitation hag been prose-
cuted with energy and perseverance ; habits of per-
sonal cleanliness have been recommended ; and
urgent destitution has been relieved. Parents have been
directed to the schools most suitable for their children ;
and many, both children and adults, have been aided in
their desire to abandon vicious habits. Measures have
also been adopted to substitute wholesome for immoral
reading ; and with a view still further to awaken the
people of this district to a sense of their position, an
unseeterian religious instructor has been provided.
The Temperance Hall, King-street, Seven Dials, has
been partly rented for meeting purposes--and these
efforts have been so far appreciated that the Committee
have long desired to extend their operations. Their
great want has been a suitable building in which, and
from which, plans of usefulness might be carried out.
This difficulty, however, is now overcome. The Swiss
Protestant Church, situated in the Five Dials, having
been vacated, has been taken and adapted, at a cost of
1601., as the Bloomsbury Mission Hall. On Tuesday
evening last it was opened to the people,—the lowest
class being specially invited. The meeting was convened
for 8 o'clock, and the Hall was crowded in every part.
Mr. S. M. Peto presided, and, together with the Rev.W.
Brock, of Bloomsbury Chapel, explained the origin and
progress of the work in which the committee are
engaged, and cordially invited the people to make free
use of the building in which they were assembled,
assuring them that at all suitable times it would be open
to them free of cost. Addresses were delivered by other
members of the committee, and it was announced that
adult writing classes would be immediately commenced,
and the free library extended. Arrangements have
also been made for the delivery of interesting lectures,
some with dissolving views. It was further stated,
that, as circumstances suggested, other measures of
usefulness would be adopted. A resolution expressive
of the feeling of the meeting was submitted by Dr.
Snitch. Mr. Peto, in acknowledging a vote of thanks,
said, that he had never yet delivered a lecture, but being
at present released from Parliamentary duties ,he was
tempted to do so, and his first should be given in that
hall, to the people of St. Giles's.

(From. the Daily News of th, is day.)

The Pahnerston Administration has succeeded to office un-
der circumstances extraordinary and unprecedented. Scarcely
more than a fortnight has elapsed, and the men who were so
lately driven from office by a crushing majority resumed their
seats, last night, on the Treasury bench in the House of Com-
mons. Lord Palmerston, indeed, the unvanquished hero of
a hundred civic fights, has at length attained the height of
his ambition, and, after a life of strange vicissitude, has won
the noblest prize within the grasp.of a British subject. And
yet, invested though he was with this perilous distinction,
iu accordance with the hopes and wishes of the nation,
his reception .by the representatives of that nation took
place amid " solemn silence." There was no sign of
that enthusiastic hope with which the advent of a
new Administration is in general hailed by its friends.
The House of Commons seemed possessed with the idea
that a Government whose recent history was one of failure
could inspire no confidence and deserve no support, except
that which may h reafter be bestowed en Vigorous. action.
The pr.estige of that once-powerful Coalition is gone. The
country has ceased to put unhesitating faith iu the statesmen
whom it looked upon two years ago as its, deliverers from the
bondage of corrupt and inefficient rulers. There was some
anxiety, perhaps, to hear an explanation of the late crisis
from the man who has at length become master of the situa-
tion, and the house was 'curious to learn how the " rebur-
nished" Government intended to meet Mr. Roebuck's motion
for the appointment of members I o serve ou the commission
of inquiry. But this was all. The obvious] and universal
feeling was that the crisis is not yet over, and that they who
shall completely extricate us from our great difficulties were
not seated last night on 'the' Treastu y Bench.
