"We promised in a former number that we should recur to this
wort, in order to exhibit its aim more clearly. The author lashes
with great severity the impostors who make a livelihood by preying
on the credulity of the public. The tribe of ' Quiet Syrnathisers,'
and Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who suffer from th com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hmdreds 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 Sperrnatorrhcea, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."—Medical Circular, June 16, 1852.

"In proof of his views he (Mr. Conrtenay) has given
the history of a great many cases successfully treated, as bad
as any wbich Mr. Syme adduced, and on which he had operated.
such are cases ix., xi., ail., and aviii. No. ix. had resisted, for a
period of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation' and was finally
removed in as many weeks. But cases avid. and six. appear,
in duraticn, severity, and complication of symptoms, of a more ag-
gravated character than any detailed by Mr. Syme, and yet the
treatment adopted by Mr. Courtenay proved eminently successful."

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

THE MEDITERRANEAN FLEET.

It appears that we gave the Admiralty yesterday inore
credit than they deserve for their intention so to rein-
force Admiral Dundas's fleet as to make it mere nearly
equal to that of the French. Instead of the Prince
Regent, 90, Captain Hutton, Sidon, 22, steam-frigate,
Captain Goldsmith, and Leopard, 16, Captain Gifford,
having been ordered from Spithead to the Mediterranean,
their instructions were merely to proceed to Devonport
to await orders.

We cannot account for this vacillation of their lord-
ships—or rather the Foreign-office. It is now well
known, as stated in our second edition yesterday, that
the French fleet of eight sail of the line (including, three
screw ships) and steamers, whose armaments we under-
rated yesterday, sailed from Toulon, under the command
in chief of Admiral La Susse (the officer who corn-
manded the Royal squadron on the visit of Louis
Philippe to Portsmouth), with Rear-Admiral Jacquenot
as second in command, on the 24th. This formid-
able fleet will probably communicate, perhaps anchor
in the same roadstead with the English force. If so,
what a shabby figure this country will cut along-
side the French. The British force, five sail of the
line, one of them a 78-gun ship ; the French force, eight
sail of the line, three of them three-deckers, and all the
others second-class ships ; but with this great and almost
incalculable superiority in favour of the French—namely
that of the eight, three are screw-ships. Taking, there-
fore Captain Chads' estimate of the comparative effici-
ency of screw-ships and sailing-ships, we must regard
the French force as equal to 11 sail, or double the force
of Admiral Dundas's fleet. This state of things is dero-
gatory to England as the chief maritime power in the'
world ; it is a reflection on our naval resources, which
are ample ; it bespeaks an inferiority, which is not real ;
it places us in a false position in the eyes of other powers.
We have the means of appearing respectable in the Me-
diterranean, and yet our ships are kept hugging the
coasts and ports of England, whilst from unwholesome
activity we are daily losing more men by desertion than
we are entering for general or, particular service. The
French forces are in the Mediterranean, and there
should also be at least an equal number of British men-
of-war, leaving at home at the ports ships quite suffi-
cient to form a powerful north sea fleet, should the
weather or the state of affairs in the east threaten a
cruise to "Yarmouth."—Herald.

Rear-Admiral the Hon. M. F. F. Berkeley, C. 8., is
spending the holidays at his country place at Fish-
bourne, Chichester. The Hon. W. Cowper, M.P., is at
Albury-park, Guildford. Captain Milne, we are glad
to hear, has just recovered from a severe attack of bilious
fever. Captain W. A. B. Hamilton is still absent from
Whitehall in consequence of the continuous presence of
scarletina in his family.
Rear-Admiral Corry hoists his flag on board the
Queen, 116, Captain Michell, at Plymouth, which ship
has been ordered to enter her full complement, 970.
She has now only 400 on her books ; where the •ther
400 blue jackets are to be found is a difficult• question to
solve. The following additional appointments have been
made to this ship :---Lieutenants—W. B. Urmston
(1848), C. Stirling (1851), son of Sir James Stirling,
G. Taylor (1852.) Mates—R. Onslow, R. Chisholme,
and H. Berkeley. Naval Cadets—R. Boyle and H.
Herbert.

Captain John Moore (1848), has been appointed to the
commatd of the screw-corvette Highflyer, 21, at Ports-
mouth, vice Heathcote, promoted to the death vacancy
of Captain Matson. Captain MoOre is the son of the
late Admiral Sir Graham Moore and nephew of the cele-
brated hero of Corunna. We believe he is the youngest
captain of his standing on the list.
Commander Thomas Archer (1851) died on the 24th,
in Derbyshire, aged 69. This officer was on the com-
manders' reserved half-pay list.

Lieutenant Frederick Robinson (1844), first lieutenant
of the Queen, 116, died at the Royal Naval Hospital,
Plymouth. This officer had seen a great deal of service
as a mate, and was one of the unrewarded lieutenants of
Sir James Ross's Arctic Expedition.
Dr. Edward Nolloth (1845) has been appointed to the
Hercules, at Queenstown, vice Corry, in charge of the
Isle of Skye emigrants.

PORTSMOUTH,
c.B .Marchp 28..,0ne
Rear-Admiral M. F. F. Berkeley,
of the Lords of the Admiralty, and Capt. Sir Baldwin
Walker, K.C.B , &c., Surveyor of the Navy, arrived in
this port to-day on a semi-official visit, the gallant Ad-
miral from his seat, near Chichester. They made an in-
spection of the dockyard, accompanied by Rear-Admiral
Arthur Fanshawe, C. 8., Superintendent, and especially
the ships building and refitting, -after which the visitors
embarked in Rear-Admiral Fanshawe's barge, and
visited the screw-frigate Highflyer, 21, Capt. Heath-
cote, and the Cruiser, 14, Commander the Hon. G. H.
Douglas, both of which vessels got up steam this morn-
ing, and came into harbour. After inspecting these
vessels, the gallant Admirals and Surveyor of the Navy
landed and left the port by the tour o'clock South Coast
train.
The Megtera steam troop-frigate, Commander John-
ston, sailed front Spithead this morning for Barbadoes,
with draughts of the 36th, 67th, and 69th Regiments.
