" The Use and the Abuse of the Turkish Bath.—A very
useful pamphlet has been published by Dr. Culverwell, the
proprietor of the Turkish Baths in the neighbourhood of the
Post-office, which presents to the uninitiated a mass of inte-
resting information, while those who have already encouraged
this new system will derive additional advantage if they
observe some of the p actical regulations which the writer
endeavours to'enforce. '—nerald and Standard, N0v.12,1861.
" The Post-office Turkish Bath 9, 19, St. Martin's-le-Grand.
—Dr. Culverwell has already established the reputation of
an ab'e physician ; he has now provcd himself to be a worthy
philanthropist, in as far as he has established, in the heart
of the City, an institution that more nearly than any disco-
very of modern days, goes nearer the abolition of the practice
of physic, than any proposition or invention yet established,
the Turkish Bath. . . Our object being merely to direct
the attention of our City readers to the fact that they possess
one of the best set of baths, at 19, St. Martin's-le-Grand,
which the country can produce; perfect in all its appliances,
and most admirable in effect. Dr. Culverwell has fitted up
his baths with a degree of elegance, luxury, and refinement,
which, considering the space at his disposal, is truly sur-
prising, while everything that taste or delicacy could desire
has been obtained to add to the camfort and luxury of the
visitor. . . We may justly say that if a man ever feels
himself regenerated and new made, it is on coming outtor:a

The hired screw steam transport, Melbourne,
Capt. Auld, from Woolwich for North America,
entered Plymouth Sound yesterday afternoon, at
two o'clock, and at five was escorted out by the
Orpheus, 21, Capt. Burnett, C.B. She was inspected
in the Sound by Port Admiral Sir Houston Stewart
and Major-General Hutchinson, and was despatched
by Capt. Benson, agent for the charterers, Messrs.
Thompson and Tweeddale. The two ships will fill
up with coal at Queenstown. The Melbourne, hav-
ing on board 1,200 tons of munitions of war, is very
deep aft, but will be trimmed on the passage.
Yesterday the Bombay, 81, screw steamer of the
line, which has been several months in hand, com-
pleted fitting at Folly-point, Chatbam, for the
steam reserve fleet in the Medway. In the after-
noon she was officially inspected by Mr. Lang,
master shipbuilder. The Bombay was built in the
East Indies, and has just been lengthened at
Chatham, converted into a screw steamer, and fitted

with engines of 400 horse power. By her comple,
_

tion a splendid ship is placed at the disposal of the
Admiralty, and,'as she is already partially equipped,
a very short time will suffice to have her ready for
service in any part of the world.
The Stromboli, 6, paddle, Commander Lord
Elphinstone, was undocked at Portsmouth yester-
day. She is destined for North America.
The Wasp, 13 screw, Commander C. Stirling,
was officially paid off and put out of commission at
Portsmouth yesterday. Her crew have been turned
over to the Chanticleer, 17, screw, for the purpose of
strengthening Admiral blilne's squadron on the
North American and West Indian station.

The screw steamship Hero, 89, Capt. Rogers, from
Spithead, arrived in Plymouth Sound on Monday
evening. She has embarked supernumeraries for
the flagship Nile on the North American station.
The screw steam frigate Orlando, 51, was re-
moved yesterday from No.l dock in Keyham steam
yard into the basin.
Considerable progress has been made during the
past week in the work of fitting the Defence, 22, at
Chatham; and, although much remains to be accom-
plished before she can be pronounced fit for sea,
there appears little doubt that she will be ready to
make her first trip in about six weeks from this
date. In addition to the hands employed upon her
at Chatham, a number of additional coppersmiths
and labourers are ordered to be entered at Wool-
wich dockyard to complete her works in hand
at that establishment. A great portion of her crew,
most of whom are continuous service men, have been
sent to her from other ports, and these, as fast as
they join, are berthed on board the Gloucester, 50,
in harbour.

Admiralty orders reached Chatham yesterday
directing the iron screw steamer Resistance, 22,
600 horse power, to be got ready for sea with all
possible speed. Instead, however, of the ship being
fitted by the dockyard hands, the workmen from
the establishment of Messrs. Westwood, Baillie, and
Co. will complete the work left undone by the con-
tractors. During yesterday and the previous day
a large number of mechanics arrived at the dock-
yard from the London establishment, and were at
once placed on the Resistance to hasten forward
her completion. A notice was affixed at the dock.
yard gates that shipwrights and joiners were
required for the steamer, and within a very short
time after the notice had been given the whole
of the required number were obtained. Mr.
Dodd, inspector of shipwrights, is to superintend
the labours of the contractors' workmen, and Mr.
Setty, the foreman at Messrs. Westwood and
Baillie's establishment, has been ordered to proceed
to Chatham with the drawings, plans, and specifica-
tions of the Resistance, for the use of the dockyard
officials. There is little doubt that the vessel will
be completed and ready for sea early in the ensuing
year.

Yesterday and Monday courts-martial have been
sitting on board her Majesty's ship Victory, at
Portsmouth, for the trial of two engineers, lately
doing duty on board the Black Prince. Mr. G.W.
Sirewright, acting engineer on board the Black
Prince, took his trial on charges of being drunk,
absent from duty, disobedient to orders. The Court
found him guilty of the second charge, and ad-
judged him to be severely reprimanded, to lose six
months of his time, and to forfeit 20 days' pay. Mr.
Thomas George Heaven, recently doing duty on
board the Black Prince, was tried upon three
charges of precisely similar nature. It ap-
peared from the evidence that on the en-
gine being started to move the Black Prince
from the Victoria Harbour, Glasgow, the pri-
soner kept continually opening the injection-valve
and working the starting gear in the opposite
direction to that ordered by the chief engineer. He
also broke the auxiliary slide-rod by attempting to
move the valve in the wrong direction, and refused
to leave the engine-room when directed to do so.
Evidence was also given in proof of the prisoner
being drunk on board the ship, and also of his hav-
ing been absent from the ship on another occasion
without leave. The Court, finding all these charges
proved against the prisoner, sentenced. him to be
dismissed the service.

A proof of large-size Armstrong guns, as well as
32 pounder old pattern guns, is now being actively
prosecuted at the Arsenal-butt, Woolwich ; and the
Royal Repository and Gun parks are being abun-
dantly stocked with reserves of batteries, in imme-
diate readiness for embarkation. An excitement
rarely witnessed pervades every department at
Woolwich, and the most intense interest is mani-
fested in what is going on.
