THE NAVY.

A letter, dated Valetta, Feb. 9, says—" Her
Majesty's gunboat Assurance, Commander Aynsley,
left this afternoon for Corfu, with a mail. At the
last advices from Corfu to the 4th inst., brought
by the Foxhound, there were only two line-of-
battle ships there—the Marlborough, bearing the
flag of Vice-Admiral Martin, the Commander-in-
Chief, and the Mars. The London was at Patras,
and the Neptune at Athens. No men-of-war are

expected at Malta from those waiters for the pre-
sent, but the liners Renown and Caesar, now here,

are under orders to proceed to Corfu aasoon as they
are out of the dockyard. Her Majesty's gunboat
Quail is still undergoing repairs in dock.
" Another naval court-martial, the third that has
been held here lately, assembled on Friday last, on
board her Majesty's ship Hibernia, to try Mr. James
Ernest Brudenell Bruce, mate on board her Ma-
jesty's ship Exmouth, Captain J. Paynter. The
Court sentenced Mr. J. E. B. Bruce to be dismissed
his ship, and to lose two years' midshipman's time."
Her Majesty's ship Trident, which sailed from
Woolwich on Wednesday last for Sheerness, struck
against the mooring buoy at Greenhithe and
damaged one of her paddle-wheels, so as to compel
her to return to Woolwich:for repairs.
The new fortifications for the defence of the
dockyard at Pater and Milford Haven will now be
carried on with the utmost vigour. A circle of
defences has been planned out, which, when com-
pleted, will perfectly surround the dockyard at
suitable distance, and also be capable of rendering
mutual support and assistance. The various places
on the coast where a landing might be effected are
also to be properly protected. In the Haven, forts
are to be completed at Popton Point, South Hook
Point, the late signal station, together with the
enlargement and almost rebuilding of the battery
on the South Stack Rock, in the centre of the
Haven. The battery at Popton Point, near Mil-
ford, will be most commanding, both in armament
and position, and will be named the Cambridge
Battery. The Stack Rock fort is situated in the
centre of the Channel, and is to be made very for-
midable instead of a mere three-gun battery, as
heretofore. The new works on the south shore and
the one at Scoverston on the north, including the
cost of the land, are estimated at £220,000. The
fortification to be erected, to Bulwell on the south
side is to cost £lOO,OOO. The present defences con-
sist of the Blockhouse Point Battery, mounting six
68's; the Dale Point Battery, with seven 68's and
two 32's ; and Thorn Island Fort, mounting nine
68's and the fort at the western extremity of the
dockyard. These defences, with those now in
course of erection, will render it impossible for an
enemy to reach the dockyard by water without
running the gauntlet of a very heavy cross-fire.
Lieut. Henry Rogers has been appointed to her
Majesty's ship Southampton, 50.

POOR LAW (IRELAND) BILL.

In reply to Mr. BLAKE:

Mr; CARDWELL said that several Irish parishes were
anxious for the appointment of the committee in question,
and he only wished to make a motion on the subject until
it had been brought before the house by some hon. mem-
ber. After the question of the hon. member he would feel
justified in bringing the subject forward, and he would move
for the appointment of the committee next week.
THE MISCELLANEOUS ESTIMATES.
Mr. BENTIWCK asked :when it Was ;the
_intention
of her Majesty's Government to lay on the
table of the house the miscellaneous .estimates

effected, and he deprecated the manner in which they were
brought before the house. They were submitted to the
a consideration of hon, members at a period of the session

CONCLUSION OF TILE INQUEST AND VERDICT.

Yesterday the" coroner (W. H. Brewer, Esq.)
and jury, re-assembled at the New Bridge-end Inn,
in order to bring to a conclusion this protracted
inquiry, in the course of which they have been
called together no less than 27 times ; viz., 9to
identify the bodies of the deceased, 17 for the
examination of witnesses, and lastly, to-day, for the
coroner's summing up, and the verdict.
Mr. Llewellyn again appeared on behalf of the
Risca Coal and Iron Company ; Mr. Owen for the
friends of some of the deceased, and Mr. Brough
and Mr. Evans, government inspectors, to watch
proceedings generally, and assist the coroner.
There being no further witnesses to call,
The Coroner proceeded to sum up, which he did
ably and concisely, and the jury, after deliberating
for nearly two hours, returned the following ver-
dict :—" We find that the deceased, James Ham-
mond, died on the let December, 1860, from the
effects of an explosion of fire damp in the Black
Vein coal-pit, at Risca, which gas was given out
suddenly in the group of stalls in the third cross
heading, in the fourth east level ; but there is no
evidence to show how this gas became ignited."
The following recommendations were appended :
" That the present rules shall be revised ; that the
working places in the pit shall be more frequently
inspected; that the suggestions of Mr. Brough, the
government inspector, that the ventilation and
underground workings shall be so arranged, that
in case of any future explosion unfortunately
occurring the disastrous results would be confined
to the district in which it took place, and that a
new pit shall be sunk for the permanent improve-
ment of the ventilation of the colliery, should be
taken into the serious consideration of the directory
and proprietory of the works." The jury also took
the opportunity, of remarking that the Stephenson
lamp appeared to them to be the bed And fig"

was owing to circumstances that were unavoidable. They

ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA;
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De-
bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Ifypochrondriasis.

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.

" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his freque*
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, be 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 oqually 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 Spermatorrhcea 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 puce at which the brochure' is sold, places
it within the reach ot every one interested in the matter."—

TILE NAVY.

A letter, dated Valetta, Feb. 9, says—" Her
Majesty's gunboat Assurance, Commander Aynsley,
left this afternoon for Corfu, with a mail. At the
last advices from Corfu to the 4fh inst., brought
by the Foxhound, there were only two line-of-
battle ships there—the Marlborough, bearing the
flag of Vice-Admiral Martin, the Commander-in-
Chief, and the Mars. The London was at Patras,
and the Neptune at Athens. No men-of-war are
expected at Malta from those waters for the pre-
sent, but the liners Renown and Caesar, now here,
are under orders to proceed to Corfu as soon as they
are out of the dockyard. Her Majesty's gunboat
Quail is still undergoing repairs in dock.
" Another naval court-martial, the third that has
been held here lately, assembled on Friday last, on
board her Majesty's ship Hibernia, to try Mr. James
Ernest Brudenell Bruce, mate on board her Ma-
jesty's ship Exmouth, Captain J. Paynter. The
Court sentenced Mr. J. E. B. Bruce to be dismissed
his ship, and to lose two years' midshipman's time."
Her Majesty's ship Trident, which sailed from
Woolwich on Wednesday last for Sheerness, strsck
against the mooring buoy at Greenhithe and
damaged one of ber paddle-wheels, so as to compel
her to return to Woolwichfor repairs.
The new fortifications for the defence of the
dockyard at Pater and Milford Haven will now be
carried on with the utmost vigour. A circle of
defences has been planned out, which, when com-
pleted, will perfectly surround the dockyard at
suitable distance, and also be capable of rendering
mutual support and assistance. The various places
on the coast where a landing might be effected are
also to be properly protected. In the Haven, forts
ure to be completed at Popton Point, South Hook
Point, the late signal station, together with the
enlargement and almost rebuilding of the battery
on the South Stack Rock, in the centre of the
Haven. The battery at Popton Point, near Mil-
ford, will be most commanding, both in armament
and position, and will be named the Cambridge
Battery. The Stack Rock fort is situated in the
centre of the Channel, and is to be made very for-
midable instead of a mere three-gun battery, as
heretofore. The new works on the south shore and
the one at Scoverston on the north, including the
cost of the land, are estimated at £220,000. The
fortification to be erected to Bulwell on the south
side is to cost £lOO,OOO. The present defences con-
sist of the Blockhouse Point Battery, mounting six
68's; the Dale Point Battery, with seven 68's and
two 32's ; and Thorn Island Fort, mounting nine
68's and the fort at the western extremity of the

dockyard. These defences, with those now in

course of erection, will render it impossible for an
enemy to reach the dockyard by water without
running the gauntlet of a very heavy cross-fire.
Lieut. Henry Rogers has been appointed to her
Majesty's ship Southampton, 50.
