MESSINA.

The recent despatch from Naples, announcing
the intention of the Neapolitan Government to
evacuate Messina, is not confirmed by the accounts
brought by the steamer :—" On the return of Gen.
Bosco's column, the commander of the place, seeing
the embarrassment in which he would be placed by
having so many men in a besieged town, decided on
sending back to the mainland 3,000 men, and they
disembarked at Naples. It was this circumstance,
no doubt, which gave rise to the report spread in
that city that the last fortress held by the King of
Sicily had been evacuated. In reality, however, the
orders received from the Government, instead of
being for an evacuation, were that General Clary
should make the most energetic resistance with his
16,000 men, and that, in case of defeat, he should
spare nothing. It was even said that he had
been directed to bombard and burn down the place,
but this cannot be guaranteed. It was on the
morning of the 21st that these orders arrived, and
the General communicated them to M. Boulard,
the French Consul (who a few days before had pro
tested against a bombardment), begging him to
take the measures he might think desirable for the
protection of French subjects, and to remove from
the port the French vessels both of war and com-
merce. The General said that he was menaced at
every moment with a serious attack from the Gan-
baldians, an 1 that he should be obliged to employ
all the means in his power to prolong the defence.
M. Boulard has embarked in the Descartes, and all
the other French vessels have anchored at a spot
which, though not far from the town, is out of the
reach of the danger."

PRUSSIA .
The Prussian Government, it is reported from
Berlin, has decided on sending a ship of war to the
coast of Syria, and some transport ships to Naples.
This measure is adopted for the protection of Prus-
sian subjects, and the natives of the German States
in Naples and Beyrout.

FORTIFICATIONS.

Mr. B. OSBORNE asked the noble lord at the head of
the Government on what day he proposed to bring on the
question of fortifications.

Lord PALMERSTON said it would depend upon the
European Forces (India) Bill, the adjourned debate on
which would be resumed on Monday, but he would bring on
the question as early as possible after that bill was disposed
of.

Mr. E. JAMES complained of the vagueness of the re-
ply, and trusted that upon so important a subject the noble
lord would give some more definite information to the
house. (Hear.)

POOR RELIEF, &c. (IRELAND) BILL.
Upon the motion that this bill, as amended, should be
considered,

Mr. NEWDEGATE moved, in the clause which enabled
guardians to maintain orphans and deserted children out of
the workhouse up to the age of twelve, to omit the word
"twelve" and insert "six," instead.
On a division the amendment was lost,
The remaining amendments were considered and agreed
4„

The Infants' Marriage Act Amendment Bill was read a
second time.

The Rifle Volunteer Corps Bill amendments were con-
sidered and agreed to.
The other orders were disposed of, and the house ad-
journed at 2 o'clock.

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.

" Dr. fickford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the
last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it
may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette.

" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing malady by translating this little book,
and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own
purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhma and the
various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.
" We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ;
but the moderate price at which the •brochure' is sold, places
it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—
Dublin Medical Press.
London, England, 1860-07-28

THE VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT.

A review and sham fight is to take place at
Hylands, Essex, on Saturday, August 4. Besides
three troops of Essex Yeomanry, there will be in
the field a body of Uxbridge Yeomanry, and com-
panies of the Essex Volunteers, the whole batta-
lion of the county being invited—the Hon. Artil-
lery Company, the Victoria Rifles, the Tower Ham-
lets Company, and Messrs. Truman, Hanbury, and

THE NAVY.

Twenty cases of Armstrong guns were forwarded
yesterday by the Great Northern Railway from Sir
W. Armstrong's factory at Elswick, and the most
unabated activity still prevails at the Royal Ar-
senal in the manufacture of the same description of
ordnance, under the superintendence of Mr. Ander-
son. A large number of heavy guns, intended ex-
clusively for the naval service, have recently been
turned out and subjected to every description of
proof with the most entire success.
The following official notice, signed by Commo-
dore Superintendent the Hon. J. R. Drummond,
C. 8., was this day posted at Woolwich dockyard :
—" John Turpin, William Sutton, and D. White,
established joiners, having this day been discharged
from the yard for constantly losing time, the work-
men of the yard generally are informed therewith,
it being my intention thus to deal with all those
who so frequently absent themselves from work
without leave."

The following appointments were made yester-
day at the Admiralty W. C. Wise, master, to
the Gorgon ; James Hansford, 2d class assi.t.nt-
engineer, to the Russell, as supernumerary; James
Imrie, John Warner, and George Purkis, to the
Asia, as supernumeraries.

MR. KAVANAGH.

Mr. KINNAIRD asked the Secretary of State for India
how far the claims of Mr. T. H. Kavanagh upon the go•.
vernment of India, for important services rendered during
the muting of 1857 and 1858, evidencing, as those services
did, great zeal intelligence, and courage, and exposing Mr.
Kavanagh to great personal risks, had been acknowledged
by the Government ?
Sir C. WOOD said the services of Mr. Kavanagh had
been rewarded in this way. He had, in the first place, bee*
appointed to a much higher situation. He had had the
Victoria Cross awarded to him, and he had received £2,000
He had also been allowed to come home on furlough and on
half-pay, which had not been done in the case of any other
officer. (Hear, hear.)
MR. F. W. DUNNE.

Mr. LAING having moved that the house at its rising
adjourn till Monday neat,
Mr. MAGUIRE asked the Secretary to the Treasury to
state the grounds upon which that board refuse to reinstate
or superannuate Mr. F. W. Dunne, and requested an answer
to the following questions :—" Whether it is not the fact
that Mr. Dunne served, for a pm iod of 38 years, in:the cus-
toms in England and Ireland, and that during 22 years ser-
vice in the port of London his superiors, under whona he
served, returned him as capable and attentive,' efficient
and attentive,' and very capable,' and not only was his
promotion retarded in no instance, but that he was advanced
seven times, with an increase of salary on each occasion,
and in January, 1847, was promoted into the first class, over
three clerks who stood senior to him in the second class;
whether, according to the official statement of the Board of
Customs, he was not superseded solely on the ground of
insolvency, occasioned by the failure of his project of a
Transatlantic Packet Station and Railway at Kilrush, on
the River Shannon, Ireland ; and if it be not the fact that
his connection with such project was not a violation of the
customs regulation, the object of which is to prevent per-
sons therein employed from dealing in articles liable in cus
toms duties ; whether Mr. Dunne did not tender proofs to
the Treasury that, in 1850, upon receiving a legacy, he
paid his creditors, and obtained their release ; whether it is
true that in the parliamentary return No. 64, moved for and
granted on the 23d day of March, 1858, and ordered to
be printed on the 16th day of February., 1.09, the board
of customs gave partiou aze v 144 cases of ofacoro and clerks

THE ARMY.

The non-commissioned officers and men com-
posing the expedition of Royal Engineers about to
be despatched to the Cape of Good Hope on sur-
veying and other engineering duties are likewise
to be employed in the erection of the large Sanita-
rium which the Government has decided upon esta-
blishing at the Cape, for the reception of the sick
and wounded troops from India and China, who are
to be sent to that establishment instead of under-
going the long and tedious passage to England.
The system adopted during the Crimean war is to
be followed in this instance, a non-commissioned
officer or Sapper of the Royal Engineers proceed-
ing in every vessel carrying the huts and stores
required in the formation of the Sanitarium, to
superintend the landing and fitting up of the same.
The Sappers and Miners selected to proceed to the
Cape on this particular service are now at South
Kensington, undergoing the requisite instruction to
qualify them for the duties they will be called on
to perform.
Col. H. Drury Harness, C. 8., R.E., who has
been appointed to succeed Col. H. Sandham as
director of the Royal Engineer establishment at
Chatham, will shortly take over the duties con,
connected with that appointment. It is under-
I stood that Lieut.-Colonel J. G. M'Kerlie, R.E.,
will succeed Lieut.-Colonel A. G. P. Ross, R E., at
Chatham, the three years' term of service of the
latter officer having nearly expired.
