THE NAVY.

Her Majesty's ship Childers, 12, Commander W.
Swinburne (1858), which was paid off at Chatham
yesterday, has been in commission nearly four
years, having sailed from England in the early
part of 1855. She was commisssoned at Chatham
by Commander V. G. Hickley, who held the com-
mand of the Childers till he was promoted to be
Post-Captain on the Ist of April last, when he was
succeeded by Commander Swinburn, formerly of
the Pluto, 4, steam vessel, employed on the coast of
Africa. Since the Childers has been in commis-
sion she has been employed exclusively in cruising
on the west coast of Africa, where she was at-
tached to the squadron of Commodore C. Wise,
during which time she has sailed over upwards of
100,000 miles in watching the slave trade, but was
unsuccessful in capturing any prizes. Of the
officers who left England in the Childers not one
returned in her to be paid off, some having died
from sickness, and three of them having been
drowned, Several of the crew have also died from
sickness, and one man was killed by falling from
aloft. On the crew being paid off yesterday gra-
tuities for good conduct were awarded, by order
of the Lords of the Admiralty, to Thomas Spiller,
quartermaster ; Wm. Foord, boatswain's mate ;
Colour-Sergeant Win. Lucas, and Corporal Wm.
Brett, Royal Marines. On the previous day a
number of medals were distributed to several of
the crew who were engaged in the Arctic exploring
expedition, and likewise to those who were in the
Baltic expedition. The Childers has been placed
among the vessels in ordinary lying in the Med-
way, and is not expected to be ever again in com-
mission.

The Supply, steam store vessel, yesterday un-
shipped at Portsmouth the immense statue of a
lion, which formed portion of a tomb," situated
about 20 miles from Boudrom, or the ancient city
of Halicarnassus. This immense statue is a beau-
tiful specimen of sculpture, and weighs 10 tons
4 cwt. It is enclosed in a ease of wood, and has
been placed on a truck for conveyance to the British
'lusc urn.

The following appointments were made yester•
day at the Admiralty : •

Surgeon—Samuel W. Webb, to the Madagaser.

Assistant-Surgeon—George B. Beale (acting), to the
Herald.

Assistant Paymaster Francis M.

Wright, to the

Fisgard.
Mr. Edgecombe Chevallier (naval storekeeper at Halifax),
to be Storekeeper at Pembroke Dockyard, vice Chiles,
superannuated.

TILE ARMY.

The East India troopship Tartar, 571 tons, Capt.
F. Jean, which was inspected at Gravesend a few
days since by Major-General Eyre and found to be
so much overladen as to endanger the safety of the
officers and troops about to proceed in that vessel
to Madras, has since been considerably lightened,
and a large quantity of railway iron which had
been put on board taken out of the vessel. Yester-
day the ship was again inspected by the officers of
the Staff from Chatham Garrison, and it having
been ascertained that she was fit to receive the re-
inforcements on board an order was given them to
embark. An alteration having been made by the
authorities at the 'War-office in the number of the
troops proceeding to Madras, the following is the
correct detail of the officers and reinforcements
who embark in the Tartar—namely, 21 men of the
12th Prince of Wales's Royal Lancers, 32 men of
the Ist Dragoon Guards, 17 men of 74th High-
landers, and 15 men of
.the 60th Regiment, the
whole under the command of Captain W. J. An-
derson, 32d Light Infantry, who goes out to India
as instructor of musketry, and the following offi-
cers :—Lieutenant and Adjutant J. J. Bailey, 29th
Regiment; Ensign N. M. Macleod, 74th High-
landers ; Ensign N. %V. Wallace and Quartermas-
ter R. Duncan, 3d battalion 60th Royal Rifles.
Assistant Staff-Surgeon C. J. Squire proceeds in
medical charge of the troops.
Yesterday a detachment of Royal Engineers left
head-quarters, Chatham, and proceeded to the
( a np at Aldershot.

BATTLE—The following is a return of two days'
shooting last week at Roxburgh, county Galway, the seat
of Dudley Perssc, Esq., the party consisting of the Mar-
quis of Clanricarde, Lord Dunio, and Major Barry :—First
day, 86 pheasants, 45 cocks, 116 rabbits, and 7 hares ; se-
cond day, 119 pheasants, 9 cocks, 47 hares, and 24 rabbits.
[ALVERTISEMENT.]—Rarey's Horse and Cattle Improv-
ing Food is equally adapted to iiuprove the stamina of ill-
conditioned Horses, Cows, Bullocks, Calves, Sheep, and
Pigs. It causes no extra expense, as it contains far more
and better nourishment than its cost of lid. per feed sup-
plies in corn and hay ; hence ensures an actual saving in
the keep. But its principal advantages are a great im-
provement in the digestive functions, the stamina and
general condition of horses enabling them to perform far
more labour without getting] distressed. It imparts new
vigour to sick, debilitated, or old apparently worn-out
horses, and it puts rapidly the finest flesh on cattle gene-
rally, and improves the milk in cows, as it enables them to
extract the entire nourishment out of everything they feed
on. Rarey and Co., 77, Regent's Quadrant, Piccadilly,

[ADVERTISEMENT.I—HoIIoway's Ointment and
Bad legs, bad breasts, ulcers, abscesses, cancers, wonndSt
and sores of all kinds may be thoroughly healed by the ap-
plication of this ointment to the parts affected, after they
have been duly fomented or washed with warm water. Th°
discharge is not checked at once ; for such sudden check
must, of course, be always dangerous. Nature is the
noblest of physicians, and must not be opposed, but
seconded ; all sores are, for a time, the safety-valves of the
constitution, and should not be closed or healed until they
assume a healthier character, under the action of this
powerful ointment, assisted by a course of the pills, which
correct and purify the depraved humours of the body.

NEW WORK ON STRICTURE.

THE TREATMENT of STRICTURES of the
URETHRA. With the Reasons why they so often
appear Incurable.
By F. B. COURTENAY,

And formerly Surgeon to the 3letroyolitan Infirmary for the

Cure'of Strictures of the Urethra.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ampie evidence of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific p_inciples upon which
their management is founded, demonstrating his sace,ess and
explaining the cause of it. By his systematic management
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec. Ist, 1858.

vott, at all. The long fight for corn laws--

needing, in truth, a famine to abolish them—and
the present existence of a special and cxc:2ptional
code of murderous game laws, to protect, net pro-
perty, but a mere amusement,, were. tlr.: natural
consequences of such a state of things. •
Mr. BRIGHT defended, with great good humour
and good sense, his proposed rating suffrage. It
had the great convenience of being already in exist-
ence in boroughs and unions; andthe namesof Lord
GREY and CHARLES Fox were invoked in its favour.
lie was also happy in observation on the Ballot,
and specially so in his retorts on those who charged
him with wishing to Americanise our institutions.
The only reason why they refused the Ballot was,
I not because they did not understand our arguments
in its favour, but because they understood them
quite as well as we do, in fact, too well. And as
to America, why, they were quite ready to borrow
reaping machines, printing machines, horse tamers,
poetry, and revolvers especially from America—
anything but politics.
He gave one salutary warning to both Whigs
and Tories. Should the latter bring in a bill
below the fair expectations of the people, and
should the Whigs, with aristocratic selfishness, join
to force it on the House, then the really
popular and liberal members would occupy
one side of the house, and the two sections
of the aristocracy the other. The result would be
a distinct pitting of aristocracy against democracy,
an increase of democratic strength at each election,
and the creation of an animosity against the now
governing classes, against which they would be
wholly unable to contend. Well, it will not long
be said that the towns, at least, are indifferent or
apathetic. Birmingham and Manchester have made
a good beginning, and others are following their

DUBLIN-DEC. 9.

At our market to-day wheat was very quiet ; full prices
were asked, but little business was done. Flour was un-
changed. Barley was more inquired for, at the decline of
lait week; nothing doing in foreign. Oats dull, and the
turn cheaper. Beans and pigs sold slowly, at late rates•
Indian corn again nominal.

WAKEFIELD-DEC. 10.

To-day there was only a moderate attendance of the town

turn being in favour of the buyer. Earley quiet, and tend-

Wheat and flour were somewhat steadier to-day, but the
demand was still very limited, at the currency of this dal
se'nnight. Choice qualities of wheat lower, and met a fair
sale. Oatmeal sold rather slowly, and former prices were
barely maintained.

IMPERIAL PRECAUTIO.Y.

For some days past workmen have been engaged
in placing the wires for the electric telegraph along
the line of the fortifications of Paris. The posts
have already been plaid for twenty-one wires
along the eastern part ofthe fortifications,

We contradicted yesterday the statement that
Mr. Rumbold had been appointed Ambassador at Pekin,
and repeated our previous statement that the Hon. Frede-
rick Brace would be the first Ambassador Extraordinary
and Plenipotentiary. We have now to announce that Mr..
Horace Rumbold will be Secretary of the Legation, Mr. W.
de Norman First Paid AttaChe, and Mr. H. St. Clair and
Mr. G. Wyndham will be attached to the Embassy. Mr.
Wade will fill the very important post of Chinese Secre-
tary. Mr. Colquhonn, at present her Majesty's Agent and
Consul-general at Bucharest, will succeed Mr. Bruce as
Consul-General in Egypt.—Times.
THE ILLNESS OF THE LORD MAYOR.--We ex-
ceedingly regret to hear that Alderman David Williams
Wire, the newly-elected Lord Mayor of London, is suffering
from severe indisposition, His lordship, we understand,
was attending a dinner in connection with histaking official
possession of Mansion-house, on Friday, when he was
seized with a fit of paralysis which deprived /Jim of his
senses and the use of his right side. The herd May or was
canveved to his private) residence at Lewisham, where he
has since been confined to his bed; and although he has
happily been restored to consciousness, his right arm and
log are quite powerless. A telegraphic communication f
the .alarming intelligence was made to his lordship's
numerous relatives and friends in Colchester. Great sym-
pathy is felt at the sad calamity which has befallen the
Lord Mayor so soon after his elevation to the highest post
of honour which could be conferred upon him by his fellow
citizens, but hopes are entertained that his lordship's ill-
ness will prove only of a temporary character. The illness,
it is believed, was brought on by over exertion since his
advent to the chief magisterial office, and he has been inter-
dicted by his medical attendants from taking part in public
business for some time to come. During his lordship's
absence from the civic courts, Sir It. NV: Carden will, it is
understood, act as his locust tenons.—Chelnisford Chronicle.
LETTERS AND PACKAGES FOR • EW SOUTH
WALES.—A notice just i,;sued from the-General Post-office
says that, "en the Ist January next, and thenceforward, a
letter or packet of printed papers, addressed to New South
Wales, may be registered on the application of the person
posting it, provided the postage, together with a registra-
tion fee of 6d., be paid in advance."

APPEALS.—WELLESLF.I7 MOEN 'G
.4. P- Ron. s cab

V. WELLESLEY.- KT
These appeals are from orders of VicethatAllor Sir
Richard Torin Kindersley, as to the validity of several
incumbrances, mortgages, and charges granted by the
viscount and earl over their respective estates in Ireland in
trust to pay their creditors, and annuities to their children
and Lady Mornington.
Sir Richard Bethel, Q.C., resumed and concluded his
argument for the appellant in these part heard appeals
this morning.
Mr. Rolt, Q.C., fellow;i1 on the same side. It is probable
that the arguments will continue over several days.

in Skibbereen, another had been a clerk in a
brewery, at a salary of £lOO a year, but had been
discharged some time before, in consequence of
his employers becoming aware of his connection
with the society. Another, :forty Downing, had
been in the police force, but had lately kei.., a public-
house in Skibbereen, and was deprived by the magi-
strates of his licence last October, for being a
member of the society. The others are all young
men of about the same class in life, namely, well-
educated, respectable, and intelligent, and much
above the rank of the common peasantry. What
the nature of the evidence against them is has not
transpired, but it seems they were examined before
the Stipendiary Magistrate of the district, who
committed them, after a strictly private investiga-
tion, to the County Gaol, and in addition to being
charged as members of an illegal society, they are
also accused of having been illegally drilling with
pikes, gnns, and other weapons. They arrived at
Bandon on Wednesday night, in charge of a party
of police from the West, and, yesterday morning,
a party of the Bandon police, under Head-constable
Wright, escorted them by train to Cork, and they
were conveyed in covered cars from the Cork
station to the County Gaol.

the alarming intellig ante was made to his lordship's
numerous relatives and friends in Colchester. Great sym-
pathy is felt at the aid calamity which has befallen the
Lord Mayor so soon after his elevation to the highest post
of honour which could be conferred upon him by his fellow
citizens, but hopes ave entertained that his lordship's ill-
ness will prove-only of a temporary character. The illness,
it is believed, was br ought on by over exertion since his
advent to the chief magisterial office, and he has been inter-
dicted by his medical attendants from taking part in public
business for some time to come. During his lordship's
absence from the civic courts, Sir. R. W. Carden will, it is
understood, act as his locum tenens.—Chelmeford Chronicle.
