CAMERON'S GOUT SPECIFIC,
'An Effectual and Speedy Remedy for the Gout, Rheu-
matism, Sciatica, Lumbago, and Neuralgia. This invaluable
Medicine is so pre-eminently efficacious as to admit of no
paralleL Instances have been known, in which sufferers have
been confined to their apartments, hand and foot,
theto asto-
nishment of their friends, have been wholly removed in less
than 24 hours after taking the above medicine, and themselves
rendered ab'e to resume their avocations, Indeed, the effect
has been such, and brought about in so harmless and speedy
a manner, that the proprietor, with the utmost confidence,
challenges the medical world to produce a medicine equal to
it. To the constitution it is harmless ; to the fluids of the
human frame it adds an agreeable impetus ; to the system
generally it is invigorating to a degree unparalleled ; and
male or female may take It to equal advantage. A dose of
the above medicine taken about once a month operates most
effectually in preventing a return of the complaint. Price

A letter from Malta, dated June 13, says :

Her Majesty's screw steam troopship Himalaya left for
Quebec on the Bth, conveying Lieut.. Col. Faire, 25 other
officers, 716 non-commissioned officers and privates, 64
woman and 99 children, of the Ist battalion 25th Regiment
ordered to Montreal. The ship will call at Gibraltar for
fuel. Her Majesty's screw steam troopship Orontes arrived
on the same day from Portsmouth to convey the Ist batta-
lion of the 9th to Gibraltar and thence to Bermuda the 2d
battalion 2d Regiment, There having been a case of
smallpox on board while she was at sea, it has been deemed
expedient to disinfect her, and this will occupy to the 18th
of June, when she will leave for her destination. Her Ma-
jesty's screw steam gunboat Foxhound arrived from Tunis
on the Bth, for which port the Cossack screw steam corvette
took her departure on the 10th. At the same time the
Resistance, iron-clad steam frigate, left for Susa, and the
Trident, steam sloop, for Sfax. Her Majesty's screw
steam storeship Supply left on the Bth, and her Majesty's
screw steam storeship Dromedary on the 12th, both for
England,!with stores. Her Majesty's screw steam gunboat
Growler arrived from Corfu on the 10th, after a long pas-
sage of nine days, having run out of fuel. The steam yacht
Undine left Malta for Naples on the Bth, having on board
the Duke of Sutherland and the Earl of Sefton, who intend
to visit General Garibaldi at Caprera. During the voyage
from Zante to Malta of her Majesty's ship Orlando Mr
Carswell, the midshipman of the first watch, was, on the
deck being relieved, missed, and next morning his cap was
discovered in the chains, where it is supposed he must have
gone for some purpose and accidentally fallen overboard
and been drowned. The night was fine, with a smooth
sea, and yet no one witnessed the accident or heard any
splash in the water.

The Sharpshooter, 6 gun screw sloop (iron), of
503 tons measurement and 160 horse power of en-
gines, was tried yesterday at the measured mile in
Stokes Bay, near Portsmouth, to ascertain her rate
of steaming prior to being commissioned, and was
afterwards tested in her steering powers with Capt.
F. Warren's patent auxiliary bow rudder, with
which she is fitted in addition to the ordinary stern
rudder. The Sharpshooter is an iron•built vessel,
constructed from the designs of the late Mr Fin-
cham, and launched from Blackwell in 1847. Her
last service was on the coast of Africa, on her re-
turn from which she was put out of commission at
Portsmouth, and she has since then undergone very
extensive repairs to her hull; her original engines
have been condemned and removed from her, and
she has received others, transferred from the Lynx,
of 160 horse power, by Messrs. Penn and Son. She
has been lined internally with the " Spence's patent
preserving cement," and externally she has been
payed over below the water-line with several rival
pigment composition intended for the preservation
of the ship's bottom under water, so that, altogether,
she may be looked upon as an experimental ship.
Her armament consists of one 40-pounder rifled
gun on the forecastle, one 58-cwt. 6-inch smooth-
bore aft, and four 23-cwt. 6-inch smoothbores
for broadside service. Her racks round the upper
deck contain the usual allowance of round 321 b.
shot, ancient-looking bunches of grape, and cases of
canister. The vessel left Portsmouth harbour at
7 a.m., in charge of Commander Brett, of her Ma.
jesty's ship Asia, and at once was steered for the
measured mile, her draught of water being lift.
2in. aft and lift. forward. She is complete in ar-
mament, rigging, and stores, and therefore, only
requires her crew, provisions, and ammunition to
render her ready for immediate sea service. Her
propeller is a left-handed " Griffiths." Six runs
with full boiler power were first made over the mile,
with the following results, in knots :-Ist run,
8'430; 2d, 9.113; 33, 8.823 ; 4th, 8,665 ; sth,
9.600; 6th, 8.571 ; mean speed of the ship, 8945
knots. The maximum number of the engines'
revolutions was 100, and their minimum number
971. The temperatures on deck and below
were as follows :-Ist run, on deck, 58 deg. ;
in engine-room, 71 deg. ; in stoke-hole 90
and 96 deg. ; 6th run, on deck, 64 deg, in engine-
room, 74 deg. ; in stokehole 94 and 98 deg. Two
runs were afterwards made with half-boiler power,
the first giving the ship a speed of 8'551 knots, and
the second 6.990 knots, the mean of the two being
7 770 knots. The pressure of steam was 201 h., and
the vacuum was at 25 in. maximum, and 221 in.
minimum. The trials of speed having been brought
to a co...lesion those of the rudders commenced,
both being tiled, of course, in order to procure the
required cooeparisee of the powers of each. The
stern rudder was first tested to port and starboard
with full boiler power, and then in the same direc-
tion with half boiler power. Wlth the rudder hard
to port it was hove up (five men being at the wheel
throughout these tests) in 30 sec to an angle of 33
deg, the half-circle being completed in 2 min, and
the full circle in 3 min 53 sec. The revolutions at
the engines were 99 at the commencement, bringing
up to 93 before the circle was completed. With
the rudder hard to port it was next hove over to
291 deg of angle in 30 sec, the half-circle made in
2 min 10 see, and the full circle in 4 min 19 sec,
The revolutions of the engines, as before, were from
99 to 93. With half-boiler power the rudder was
hove over to an angle of 38 deg to port in 22secs,
the half circle made in 2min 15secs, and the full in
4min 22secs. The revolutions of the engines were
from 87 to 82. In the second trial, at half-boiler
power, the rudder was hove over to an angle of 30
deg to starboard in 26 secs ; the half circle made in
2 min 25 sec, and the full in 4 min 55 sec. The revo-
lutions of the engines were the same as in the last
trial to port. Half-boiler power still was kept in
use, and two trials similar to the last were made
next, but now with both rudders, stern and bow, in
use, with the following results. Hard to starboard—
Angle of stern redder 301 deg ; do. bow rudder, 39-1
deg; half-circle made in 2 min 17 secs ; fall circle
in 4 min 49 sec; revolutions of engines, 80 to 81,
Hard to port—Angle of stern rudder, 38 deg; do.
bow redder, 40 deg; half circle made in 2 min 4 sec;
full circle made in 4 min 6 sec ; revolutions of engines
from 86 to 81. Steam was next further eased down,
and the vessel going " very easy" ahead, two circles
were made with the engines going 50 revolutions at
starting, the first being to starboard, the angle of
the bow rudder being 40 deg, that of the stern 301
deg. The half circle was made in 4 min 34 see, and
completed to the full in 9 min 8 sec. The second was
to port, the angle of the bow rudder being 391 deg,
that of the stern 38 deg, while the half circle was
made in this instance in 4 min 3 sec and the full in
8 min 20 sec. The engines in both instances slack-
ened in their revolutions from 50 to 47. The ship
was next put ahead at full boiler power and speed,
and both rudders again brought into play. In the
first circle made under these circumstances, the
stern rudder was hove to starboard at an angle of
30 deg and the bow rudder to 391 deg, the half-
circle made in 2 min 4 sec, and the full in 4 min
and 9 sec. The engines started at 95 revolutions
and slackened down to 91, In the second
circle the stern rudder was hove to port to an
angle of 38 deg, and the bow rudder to 40 deg, the
halfecircle being made in 1 min 51 sec, and the full
circle in 3 min 38 sec. The engines started at 96
revolutions and eased down to 91. This was the
last experiment with both rudders, and several
others followed with the bow rudder alone acting,
but only two of these were noted, as it was evident
the vessel was not sufficiently in the water forward
to allow the bow rudder to fully develop its powers,
These two circles were made with the following re-
sults :-1. Astern at full speed, with the rudder
hard to starboard, the half-circle was made in 5 min
18 sec, and the full circle in 8 min 17 s( c.
2. Astern at full speed, and the rudder bard to
port, the half-circle was made in 9 min 33 sec,
and the full circle in 13 min 33 sec, The
officials on board had no means at their command
of accurately measuring the circles made, but
it was clear that their area made under the in-
fluence of both rudders was less than with one
rudder, and the time was also, it will be seen on
reference to the figures, rather less. It must be
borne in mind, in all fairness to Capt Warren, that
the bow rudder fitted to the Sharpshooter is merely
an " auxiliary" to the main or stern rudder, to assist
in turning the ship, either when going ahead or
