THE WAR PREPARATIONS.

The Tonning, which sailed on the 4th, took out
Brigadier-General Sir Cohn Campbell, Brigadier-Gene-
ral Pennefather, Brigadier-General Eyre, Major Stir-
ling, Captain Shadwell, Captain Thack well, Captain
Harding, Major Hope, Lieutenant Graham, Captain
Walsh, Aides-de-Camp to Lord de Ros ; Captain
Woodford, Deputy-Assistant-Quartermaster-General ;
Captain Blane, Deputy-Assistant-Quartermaster-Gene-
ral, an officer and detachment of the 19th Regiment,
Lieutenant Pearce, and General Brown's horses.
The City of London, which sails to-day, has on board
Major-General ..eir D. L. Evans, Captain Gubbins,
Captain Boyle, Captain Allix, Captain Clifton, with his
Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge's establishment,
Lieutenant-Colonel Gordon, Assistant-Adjutant-Gene-
ral, and Lieutenant-Colonel Herbert, Assistant-Quarter-
master-General. A company of Sappers from Woolwich
will also embark with this ship, and another from Gi-
braltar, where lie touches.
The Emperor starts on Saturday, and takes out Sir
Richard England, Brigadier-General Cator, Royal
Artiliery, Lord De Ros, Deputy-Quartermaster-General,
Captain Neville, Captain Bradford, Captain Gage,
Captain Pack, Captain Kingscote, with Lord Raglan's
horses and establishment, Lieutenant Calthorpe, Lieut.
Curzon, Surgeon Mapleton, and a detachment of the
19th Regiment.
The means of transport have still to be provided for
22 officers and 72 horses of the general staff.
Lord Lucan, Lord Cardigan, and Colonel Scarlett,
will not leave town till the latter part of next week, for
their overland journey to Constantinople.
It is intended to make as little display as possible
with the cavalry, or indeed any portion of the troops
proceeding to the theatre of war. Each regiment will
proceed at once from the nearest port to which it has
been stationed to the destination intended by the Secre-
tary for War the Duke of Newcastle.
The late Lieutenant-General Sir Charles Napier's ad-
vice is being rigidly taken in regard to baggage, the
most aristocratic being limited to a very small weight.
To one branch the strictest attention has been given,
viz., the hospital department. The rake of Newcastle
has most wisely adopted the humane suggestions thrown
out by the venerable Dr. Guthrie, whereby our military
hospital system will be placed on a footing with the ad-
mirable one of Austria. It is a notorious fact that
thousands of our countrymen were lost, even so recently
as the Punjaub campaign. from want of proper medical
attendance. In the Peninsular and Waterloo campaign
the mortality owing to our penny-wise system was de-
plorable.
The 7th Regiment of Fusiliers arrived at Southamp-
ton shortly after noon yesterday by railway from Man-
chester, via Basingstoke, and marched directly into the
docks, where they embarked on board the royal mail
steam-ship Orinoco, Captain Wilson, appointed to
convey them to Gallipoli. The embarkation took
place with an entire absence of bustle and confusion,
and occupied but a very short time, owing toe the
admirable nature of the arrangements for the reception
of the men on board. At 3 o'clock the Orinoco hauled
off from the dock wharf amid the cheers of thou-
sands of spectators who had assembled to give a parting
farewell to the gallant corps. The band of the regiment,
stationed on the deck of the Orinoco, struck up "Rule
Britannia," and "God save the Queen," as the ship
passed through the dock heads, and this was accompanied
by repeated rounds of enthusiastic cheers from the shore,
returned again and again by the soldiers on board.
Colonel Farquharson, the old colonel of the regiment,
who came to Southampton to witness its departure, was
recognised on the wharf by a great number of the men,
who eagerly rushed on shore and insisted upon shaking
him by the hand, and then the whole regiment gave a
special round of cheering in his honour. The 7th mus-
ters about 900 rank and file and 35 officers, and takes
out 15 horses. A large quantity of military stores,
Mini 6 rifles, ball cartridges, and other ammunition has
been shipped by the Orinoco, which, in consequence of
the fineness of the weather, went straight to sea without
anchor ng for the night, as was at first intended.
The Trent, with the 23d, sailed at daybreak yester-
day for Gallipoli.
The Medway goes to Portsmouth to-day, to take on
board the 95th.
The Eurydice, 26, was ordered to be commissioned
yesterday by Captain
,Erasmus Ommanney, at Ports-
mouth.
The Gladiator, 6, paddle-wheel steam-frigate, was
commissioned yesterday morning by Captain Broke,
It.N., for the war service.
The Megmra, 6, troop steam-frigate, Commander J.
0. Johnson, will be paid down to-morrow, and, as her
present crew is more than she requires for troop service,
the surplus will, it is expected, be draughted to help to
man the Gladiator.
The Victory, 104, Captain Hay, flag of Viee-Admiral
Sir Tnomas Cochrane, has been ta.feen alongsde the Vic-
torious receiving hulk while her moorings are examined.
The Sprightly steam-tender, Acting-Master Com-
mander G. Allen, returned from Liverpool yesterday
morning with a few volunteers for the navy.
The Formidable, 84 guns, is ordered to be brought
forward immediately as a guardeship of ordinary at

The essential object ot this treatise is to point out the fearful cor-

the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
entitled.
it is absolutely necessary that all men should know, that there are
rinciples of personal iwinaoment which cannot be violated without
ncurrine grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties
may he mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
tad how the evil and its con 'equenc es may be avoided, and above all,
that there is scarcely any decree of physical infirmity or functional
.erangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
