THE LEVIATHAN.

Yesterday afternoon ceneiderable anxiety was mani-
fested on the river f, r the safety of the Leviathan steam-
ship, moored off Deptford, in consequence of the break-
ing of two of her bow mooring chains. The ship at
along has been held by three chains at her stem, ant
during heavy weather without any failure of the moor-
ings In the course of the forenoon of yesterday the
wind gra 'ually freshened up from the eastward, until i,
blew almost a gale. About two o'clock a very heav,
squad from the E.N.E. came in full force on the pert
bow of the huge ship, and there being a strong flood ted
caused an immense strain on the mooring chains. The
chain on the p -rt bow first went, a link breaking some
deem feet from the hawse hole, and this tiring an if,
creased pressure on the other two moorings the bow
(stein) chain went. The wind and strong fed whiel
swept up the Reach caused the forward part of the ship
to incline towards the Deptford shore. Mr. Prowse,
the. officer who was in charge of the vessel, Capt. Hay.
neon being absent on leave, immediately adopted ever)
precau.ton to secure and protect the ship. Some steam-
ers which lay between the Leviathan and the shore
a-e.isted in checking the canting of the bow of the ship
inwards. With all expedition a large hawser was laic
out to the Dreadnought, and three powerful steam-tuge
were brought to bear on the port bow in hauling the
skip into her former position. Fortunately the squae
was of short duration, but the weather continued bois-
terous, and the tugs were engaged until late in the ev,u-
ing in keeping the bow out, when the steamer was again
secured by additional chains from Brown and Lenox,
and the Toames Conservancy depot. The Leviathan.
has sustained not the least injury, and, as far as we
could learn, none of the vessels that were lying inside
her were de‘reaged, with the exzeption of the stern of it
dumb lighter being stove in. As a matter of precautiot
it was deemed prudent to have one or two of the
.tugs
it
attendance during the night, the weather continuing no-
favourable. It should be stated that the moorings at the
stern remained firm.

RECRIIITING,IN CANADA FOB THE 13HITISH ARMY.--
An extra official Gazette of Wednesday states that thi
Queen has been pleased to approve the raising of a regi-
ment in Canada, consisting of 1,000 rank and file, to be
called the " 100th, or Prince of Wales's Regiment." •
London, Niagara, Toronto, Kingston, Ottawa,
Montreal
and Quebec have been appointed depots for the inspec-
tion and reception of recruits for thus regiment. No au-
thority is given to enlist or procure recruits beyond the
borders of the dominions of the Queen ; and any bargain,
promise, or agreement made without these, provinces
will not be respected. This shows the determination of
the Imperial Government not to incur the risk of any
new enlistment difficulty with the United States; but if
Americans come here of their own free will for the pur-
pose of enlisting, we see nothing to prevent their doing
so. Commissions in this new regiment will be
granted without purchase to one major, six captains, and
eight lieutenants. These commissions will be granted,
on certain conditions, to residents of Canada who
have already served in the army, or who may be in the
receipt of hal pay. The fitness of the applicants for
these commissions is to be attested by a board of officers
who are to meet at Montreal, and every applicant certi-
fied by them is to be approved and recommended by the
Governor-General. Whough the commissions are not t
be paid for in money, they are virtually to be paid for
m men. To entitle any one to receive a major's com-
mission be mutt previously have brought to some one of
' the recruiting depots 200 men, who have passed an
examination. A captain's commission is, in like man-
ner, va'ssed at 80 men, and a lieutenant's at 40. The
Prince of Wales, however, as General commanding-m-
-chief, has authorised the Governor-General to recom-
mend a litnited number of gentlemen, residing in Canada,
for commissions, with or without purchase, at the discre-
tion of his R eyal Highness. A bounty of $3 is to be
Riven to each recruit, with a complete kit of neceFsarieQ.
This is too small to prove any temptation, but there
little doubt that recruits will be found easily enough.
The present condition of stagnation, both in this pro-
vince and in the United States, is eminently favourable
to recruiting, and will of i'self be sufficient to insure the
success of the attempt.—Quebec Gazette, March 8.
[AnvErarsardzyr.]—The possibility of abandoning medicine
altogether is shown by the numerous extraordinary.cures,
without medicine, of indigestion (dyspepsia), flatulency, con-
stipation, nervous, bilious, and liver complaints, cough,
asthma, consumption, and debility, effected by Da
Barry's delicious Health - restoring Revalenta Arabica
Food. The following aro not the least remarkable :
Clunbury, Shropshire; Dec. 22, 1856.—Gentlemen,—Being
one of your greatest debtors in respect to the Revalenta
Arabica, I beg to offer you my testimony in its favour. For
many years I suffered severely from chronic rheumatism,
which at length produced a complication of nervous diseases
that made me perfectlymiserable. The most approved reme-
dies in medicine and diet were had recourse to in vain, the
faculty of digestion was brought to a complete stand-still,
and death must apparently have soon resulted had not my
attention been providentially drawn to the Revalenta Ara-
bica. The very satisfactory character of the testimonials
induced me to make a trial of it ; even within a few days
after I commenced using it some of the worst symptoms were
so much subdued as to enable me to take a sufficient quantity
of food and drink without any injurious consequences. This
I had not been able to do for four years previously, and dur-
ing the last two months of this time not in any measure ex-
cept at the imminent risk of mj life, though the greatest
care was used in the selection of what was taken ; sleep had
nearly forsaken me, this has now been restored to me, and I
am now, after having taken the Revalenta for some time,
able to perform those functions of animal life which before
had been nearly suspended in me. I have seen it produce
equally good effects in other cases among some of my
friends to whom I have recommended it, but to ex-
plain all the benefit which I have received from it
would be to fill a pamphlet.—l am, &c., JAMES CIiAMIAN.
