[ADTERTISEIVENT.I - Holloway's Pills. -- Vigorous
Health.—All diseases affecting the nervous system arise
from impurities in the blood or vitiated secretions. Hollo-
way's Pills are invaluable for removing all poisonous ele-
ments from the body, and aro famed:for curing indigestion,
flatulency, and costiveness, as well ;as palpitation, pain in
the side, and other turbid feelings. The neuralgic pains
attendant on the nervous class of diseases soon yield to these
purifying Pills ; the sensations of anxiety and alarm daily
diminish under their use; sound sleep supersedes nights
of watching, and calm repose displaces hideous dreams.
Holloway's Pills are the best correctives of tainted breath
and disagreeable tastes in the mouth ; they soon clean the
furred tongue, augment the appetite, and invigorate both
body and mind.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's screw
steamship Pera, Captain T. Jamieson, arrived at
Southampton at 12.30 p,m. yesterday, with the
heavy portion of these mails, in charge of Mr. U.
Ronayne, of the General Post-office. She brought
64 passengers (of whom 38 were first class, 9 second,
11 children, and 6 servants), including, in addition
to those published in the Sun of Tuesday, Lieu-
tenant-Colonel the Hon. Hugh Annesley, Captain
Prevost, Assistant• Surgeon Corbett, &c. On freight
she had 23 pack iges of specie, value £96,935 ster-
ling, 1,083 bales silk, 109 bales flax, 81 packages
elephants' tusks, 160 baxrs oranges, 131 barrels gum,
400 sacks wheat, and 210 packages of general mer-
chandise.

As the Adriatic moved out of dock the large
shields on her paddleboxes, emblazoned with the
stars and:stripes, reminded everybody of the remark-
able coincidence that an American-built steamer,
and until within a few months the property of
Arne; jean owners, should be one of the first em-
ployed in the transport of British troops to the
northern part of the American continent to operate
probably against the country in which she was built,
On the two vessels leaving the docks the volunteer
band took up a position on the extreme end of the
jetty, and as the Adriatic slowly moved past they
played the appropriate airs of "I wish I was in
Dicey," and " The British Grenadiers," followed by
" Cheer, boys, cheer," and " Should auld acquant-
ance be forgot," as the Parana passed, in each case
closing with " God save the Queen," after which
several parting rounds of enthusiastic cheers were
exchanged between the multitude of spectators on
shore and the gallant fellows on board the vessels.
It was understood that the Adriatic and Parana
would not put to sea till this morning, but nothing
certain was known on the point.
The Magdalena will embark her troops (39 officers
and 900 men of the 16th Foot) on Saturday morning.
Each of the above-named vessels carries out an
immense supply of stores and clothing, and it will
be gratifying to the country to know that the men
are well provided with warm clothing to protect
them from the rigours of a Canadian winter. All

fully explained in J. GROSS3ITIPS

The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex-
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at band. Anxiety in busi-

the steamers are fitted with Clifford's boat-lowering
gear, the Adriatic having it applied to four of her
boats.

The despatch of these ships has been effected with
remarkable speed. The order for chartering the
Adriatic and Parana was only received here on
Wednesday se'nnight, and the Magdalena on the
following day. Seven days have, therefore, sufficed
to prepare and fit them for sea, in a manner which
has given the greatest satisfaction. As illustrative
of the work which has been accomplished in that
time it may be mentioned that the Adriatic has
tt.ken in 1,500 tons of coals, 14,000 gallons of water

ON THE SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT of
STRICTURES of the URETHRA ; showing why they
so often appear Incurable, when in reality they might be
removed by the most simple means.
By F. B. COURTENAY, M.R.C.S.E.,
And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan 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 ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded. 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.

(in addition to which she has an apparatus on board
capable of distilling 1,000 gallons of water per
diem), and three months' provisions for troops and
crew, besides the erection of all the fittings through-
out the ship for the accommodation of so large a
body of troops. Similar results have been achieved
iu the case of the other vessels. The excellence and
completeness of the arrangements for embarkation
were manifested by the fact of between 1,700 and
1,800 men walking comfortably on board, the whole
embarked, and the two steamers moving away from
their berths in about a couple of hours from the
arrival of the first detachment.

" The Use and the Abuse of the Turkish Bath.—Avery
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 practical regulations which the writer
endeavours to enfome."—Herald and Standard, Nov. 12, 1861.
" The. Post-office Turkish Baths, 19, St. Martin's-le-Grand.
—Dr. Culverwell has already established the reputation of
an able physician ; he has now proved 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 comfort and luxury of the

The public cannot but sympathise with the vigorous efforts
now being made by this Institution to save the lives of Ship-
recked Crews. Their help was never more needed than at
the present time, when, through the extraordinary exertions
the Society has made within the past f,w years, it has now
nearly One Hundred and Twenty Life-boats under its man-
agement, for the maintenance of which, in a state of thorough
efficiency, a large permanent annual income is absolutely
needed, if its humane mission, is to be perpetuated.

At the last meeting of the Meteorological Society,
Thomas Sopwith, Esq., F.R.S., who had recently
come from Northumberland, stated that from infor-
mation he had received there were grounds for sup-
posing that a large number of lives had been saved
by the caution which had been induced by atten-
tion to the barometers on the coast. Captain
Washington, R.N., F.R.S., Hydrographer of the
Admiralty, who had also recently visited the coast
of Northumberland, in a letter to the National
Lifeboat Institution, bears evidence to the interest
taken in the barometer by fishermen, and to their
watching the records of its movements, day by day,
as shown in charts like the accompanying one►
which I send for your information, which has been
laid down from observations taken daily at the
Lifeboat Institution, from ene of Negretti and
Zambra's barometers, during the month of Novem-
ber. In addition to the instruments on the coast
of Northumberland, the National Lifeboat Institu-

tion has placed no fewer than from 40 to 50 of like
character, all examined by myself, at as many dif-
ferent places round the coasts, at every one of which
places a chart laid down like the one submitted to
you is exposed to view. It is impossible to say how
many lives may have been saved by the daily in-
spection of the zig-zag line, caused by the varying
pressure of the atmosphere, in conjunction with the
local knowledge of the climate of each locality pos-
sessed by every fisherman, causing caution on the
one hand, by the day by day falling of the line,
and certainty on the other, by the day by day ris-
ing of the line, on the chart. The chart at once
speaks to the eye ; the past variations of the pres-
sure of the atmosphere are seen at a glance. For
instance, by reference to the diagram I send you, it
will be seen that at the beginning of the month the
barometer reading was low, being 29 in 22 on the
Illst day, and decreased to 29 in 18 by the 2d. It

then turned to increase, and on the 4th was 29 in
95; decreased to 29 in 50 by the next day, and to
29 in 27 by the Bth; increased to 29 in 73 by the
12th ; then fell rapidly to 29 in 18 by the night of
the 13th; but this point, the lowest in the month, is
not shown on the chart, in consequence of its occur-
ring at night. It then increased to 29 in 27 by the
14th, then increased rapidly, passing the point, 30
inches, on the 17th, to 30 in 56 by the 19th, or
nearly one inch and a half in six days; this was the
highest reading in the month. A fall as rapid then set
in, and the reading passed below 30 in on the 21st,
to 29 in 39 by the 23d; and from this time to the

end of the month the readings were alternately
increasing and decreasing, but genevilly low. The

pressure of the atmosphere until the 16th, with the

exception of the 4th, was always below its average;
from the 17th to the 20th, 24th, 25th, and the 28th

above ; and the remaining days below. The average
for the month, at the level of the sea, was 29 in 74,

The British squadron at Malta on the 10th com-
prised the Marlborough, Terrible, James Watt,
Caesar, Firefly, and Foxhound.
Her Majesty's steam frigate Amphion, 36, Capt.
T, F. Birch, 16 days from Malta and 10 from Mes-
sina, arrived at Gibraltar on the Bth inst ; and the
Racoon, 22, Copt. W. C. Chamberlain, 14 days from
Malta, on the 13th. The Amphion, Racoon, Fire-
brand, Procris, and Cuckoo were at Gibraltar on
the 14th.

The hired transport ship Lord Dalhousie, Capt.
T. Markham, 33 days from Deptford and 11 from
Portland, with Government stores, &e., for Gibral-
tar, arrived out on the 11th inst.

The American bark C. B. Allen, Captain 3. Ray,
from New York, which arrived at Gibraltar on tte
7th inst., had on board the mate, P. Regan, and
crew, 12 in number, of the late British bark Majes
tic. The Majestic was bound from London for New
York, and on the 13th ult., when in lon. 52 18, lat.
41 44, she lost her rudder, when the master aban-
doned her, and got on board the American bark
John File, bound for Cork. The mate and crew
remained on board till the 19th, when they were
picked up by the C. B. Allen.
The Portuguese schooner Nigra, Capt. A ,J.Vianna,
bound from Mazagan for Cork, laden with maize, ar-
rived at Gibraltar on the Bth. Sb e was in collision with
an unknown vessel on the 6th, and lost a boy over
board, bowsprit, yard, &c.
The following outward bound British merchant
steamers had arrived at Gibraltar :—Dec. 8, the
Sicilian, Capt. J. Bates, seven and a half days from
Liverpool, for Palermo, &c.; 9th, the Cadiz, Capt.
J. Russell, 8 days from London and two and a half
from Vigo, with Government stores, 90 bullocks,
&c.; the Ceylon, Capt. R. W. Evans, 4 days 22
hours from Southampton, with mails, &c. ; the Dom
Pedro, Capt. W. Kennedy, 16 days from Glasgow
and two from Lisbon ; 10th, the Euphrates, Capt.
R. Bonfellow, 6 days from Liverpool, for Malta and
Constantinople; the Morocco, Capt. G. Langlands,
6 days from Liverpool, for Genoa, &c.

being two-tenths of an inch in defect of the average
of the month ; and when compared with the pre-
ceding 20 years, one instance alone of less pressure,
viz. in 1852, and one of equal pressure, in 1845, are
found. In all other Novembers, eighteen in num-
ber, the pressure of the atmosphere has been greater
than in the past month.
The fall of rain in the month was in no less than
51 in, exceeding the average for the month by 21
in. In November, 1852, 6in of rain fell. With
this exception the fall of rain was greater in the
past month than in any Nevember in the preceding
45 years. Snow fell on the 2d day.
Satisfactory as it is to know that so many charts
of weather are constantly on view where so much
needed, yet I cannot avoid fearing that loss of life
may result on other equally exposed coasts for the
want of similar instruments, for certain it is that
the number of barometers requires to be greatly

increased.
It will probably be remembered that fearful
storms swept over the north-east coast of England
on the 2d, 3d, and 14th ultimo, when the lowest
points marked on the accompanying chart
were reached. On these occasions great loss
of life as well as destruction of property took
place. It is, nowever, gratifying to find that valu-
able services were rendered during these disasters
by the lifeboats of the National Lifeboat Institution
in saving the crews of the following wrecked ves•
sels :—Smack Adventure of Harwich, 10 ; lugger
Saucy Lass of Lowestoft, 11 ; schooner Fly of
Whitby, saved vessel and crew of 4 hands; pilot
cutter Whim of Lowestoft, 7 ; barque Undaunted
of Aberdeen, 11; brig Lively of Clay, Norfolk, 5
barque Robert Watson of Sunderland, 5 ; schooner
Auchincruive of Grangemouth, 6 ; and schooner
Friends, of Lynn, 4 ; total, 63, making an aggregate
total of 288 persons rescued from a watery grave by
the lifeboats of the institution during the present
year alone.
