Hardy, Bart. K.C.B. sailed this morning from St. He
!en's, in the Galatea frigate, Sir Charles Sullivan, Bart.
with the Experimental Squadron, on their second cruise.
They were detained at St. Helen's two days by strong:
westerly gales : they are now beating down Channel,
against fresh breezes. The ships are—Challenger, 28

Edward Gordan resigned); and the Alert
(converted sloop), Capt. Burgess. They will commence
their cruising off Scilly.
His Royal Highness the Lord High Admiral has deferred
his visit to this Port until the lit of August.
The Lord High Admiral has issued a Circular to thr
Chaplains of the Royal Navy, desiring them to put them.
selves in communication with the Rev. Samuel Cole, Chap.
lain of Greenwich Hospital, in all matters relative to tht
official discharge of their functions ; and they are to pro•
hibit the reception and circulation of all Religious Tracts,
or other Scriptural Books, on board the respective ships tip
which they are attached, that have not received the approval
of that Rev. Gentleman.

An Order has been issued, this week, by the Lord High
Admiral, directing that, in future, nu Petty Officer, lie-
longing to his Majesty's Fleet, shall be flagged, unless b)
sentence of a Court Martial; but that Petty Officem may
be dierated, as heretofore, provided such disratings art
minuted in the Quarterly List of Punishments, with r.
reason assigned thereto for its being done. This C/rdri
will put the Petty Officers on a more respectable footing,
and tend to make them more attentive to their duty; from
their conduct, much of the good discipline and internal
comfort of a ship arises.

The CommisSionera of the Victualling Board, the Hon.
Gen. Stipyli6n,' Dr. Burnett, and the Honourable W. L.
Bathurst, will minutely inspect the Royal Hospital at
Hasler, next week, as well u the Victualling and Brew-

The OINLUie3 and labourers in hislfajesty's dock-yards
are ordered to' be employed future only'favedays in the

'Flie Rose, Capt. Martial, from Calcutta, whisk ship
landed passengers here last week, brought to England t
remarkably ponderous. piece of ordnance, which was taken
at Bhurtpore. It weighs 17 tons, and carries. a one hun-
dred pound ball ; it is 16 feet long, and 37 inches diameter
at the breech ; and, what is very singular, it was cant at .
two periods, and of two distinct metals-..—the.brecch and
the muzzle bring different. • Its surface is profusely orna-
mented with Persian characters, coinpliinentary of the
maiden fdaress of lihurtpore, and the Sultan by whom it
was founded. It is brought to England as a present front

shire Telegraph.

His Royal Highness the Lord High Admiral Las ex-
pressed his intention to embark at Woolwich, in the Royal
Sovereign yacht, on the 7th of next month, to emus di-
rect to this port. The Duchess of Clarence will come by
laud, but her Royal Highness is not expected to arrive
before the 12th or 14th of July,
Daily instances are afforded of the good spirit and activity
of the Lord High Admiral in forwarding the interests of
the Navy, and: in supporting its character. The General
Order, which issued. from the Admiralty en the 21st inst,
conveys, in strong language, the disapproval of his Royal
highness on the reprehensible conduct of a medical officer
in granting a "smart ticket" to a sailor without just
grounds. An order, founded nu a similar abuse, has just.
been promulgated by the Lni►eror of Russia, who has corn
mantled that the medical men who delivered to Lieutemaat-
Colonel Rutkowski, in 1821, a false certifieate, relative to
his wound, shall pay to the Fund of the Invalids all the
sums which it paid to that officer fr0nt.1.1321 to 1827.

Worth, arrived on Wednesday, front Lisbon, in fourteen
days, bringing dispatches for his. Majesty's Secretary of
State for Fcreign Affairs.

some of them shot and killed the Major-General. This
disorder exposing the division of Brigailier-General Cti-

pulse as he did the repeated attacks of the enemy on that
side, but this hindered him
,from co-operating with the
first division, where victory twice declared in our favour,

not only to send reinforcements to all the' points attacked,
but also to detach signadrthas Which 'turned 'our right and

behaved ill, falling on our baggage, which they plundered,
Under these circumstances, ' with troops fatigued by, six
hours' continued tieing, and the enemy preparing to sur-
round us, I was obliged to retreat, though we had till then .
been successful in all the attacks we made, and in repulsing
those of the enemy. The five battalions performed prodi-
gies of valour, and to them we were indebted for the
respectable attitude which the army was able to preserve in
the retreat. I lost only one cannon, and 242 men killed

On the 20th, in the morning, it very ilestructive fire broke
out near the. Court house and tba taiibi of St. Lewis, and
in two hours consumed five )thuses. We are sorry to state,
Mr. Walker, an Advocate, late of Montreal, whilst' zea-
lously awiisting to put nut the flames, was thrown into the
tire by some part of the building Calling on him, and so much
burnt and injured that if he survives he will have to suffer
the loss of his limbs. The property consumed was chiefly
insured in the Qiiebet Fire-office, mitils calculated at 6,7001.
The Canada Company have laid out and coin-
menet:4 the building of a town on an extensive scale in the
county of Waken, to which: they hare

MR. ABERNETHY ON THE NOSE.

(From the Lancet-)
Well, then comes.the.business of what's to be
Itione in hemorrhage froM the nose, but hremor,
hage from the nose is the result of the same cause.
emorrhage to a certain amount from the nose
IA good, but it sometimes goes on to an enor-
Itions extent. Haller lias given a chapter on the
:
ilumense quantity of blood that has been lost in
hemorrhage from the nose, where he endeavours
to estimate the quantity of blood that probably may
be circulating in our vessels. He says it must be
considerable, since such an immense quantity has
been lost by hemorrhage from the nose. NoW,
there are no 'vessels in the nose that would
bleed in the manner I allude to, unless there
was irritation kept up, unless there was some-
thing keeping up Insmorrhagic action. I grant
the vessel to be large and numerous ; I grant
the pituitary membrane to be excessively vas-
cular ; you know when lit is injected it looks as
red as the injection itself; but still I say, there
must be inflammatory action to produce such
hemorrhage, and when people are quite . faint
from the loss of blood, a surgeon is called in to
stop it. How is he to do that ? Why, they
have talked ' of doing it in this way—any one
can stop it from the front you 'know, but they
say you are to stop_ it by plugging up the pha-
rynx. Put a tube through the nose as far as
the pharynx, then put Gown a piece of elastic
steel, catch it and bring it into the mouth, and tie
a piece of sponge to it adequate to fill up
.the pos-
terior opening of the nostril, then draw it in and
plug up the opening. Now, that this can be
done sometimes I know,' because I have seen it
done; but, upon My 'honour, they must be
cleverer people than I , ain that will .do it—
cleverer or more patient, , I don't know which
it is. Whenever I have tried to do it,
I have never been able to• accomplish it. Of'
course I can do it very `well on the dead
subject. I could do it too on the living subject,
if these. levatores palaii would be quiet, but they
will not, and I have not been able to do it.
Well then, I have never seen any man with a
bleeding from the nose—and I have seen plenty
of them, that could not have that bleeding stop-
ped by plugging up the nose, introducing
lint from the front. You make a cylinder of
lint adequate to fill the tubular part of the
nostril ; you wrap it round a probe, making it
long enough to go front the front aperture of
the nose to the back of the aperture ; you wet it,
t*ist it round, make it something like a large
tiongie, make it hard, and then you introduce it
'rim the front aperture, carrying it along the floor
of the nose till you are sure it has reached the
back aperture. Now, I never saw a hemorrhage
take place after that was done. It does not come
into the throat, and yet it seems to plug up the
beck apertures. When you put the plug in you
vitlfriraw the probe.
I remember a neighbour Of, my .own, who had
a country house about thirty miles off, and he
had hemorrhage from the nose to A very great
degree: ,He sent for me, and I went- clown to
see him. •I found him as pale as a corpse, sit-
ting in a cold room in the winter time, and wait-
ing the return of the hernorrhage every moment:
I said, well now, this is not a very comfortable
room, and so you hastiloster come into the 1
other room, where there is a fire. 1 Fitionki
like it better ; and I should think that, in
your state, you might take a cup of tea---of
warm tea or something of that kind. Ice seems
to itfe. to be very cold.—(Great laughter.)
Yes, but, said be, this haemorrhage will come
on again. Ph, that's just what I want ; I
just want it to come on again, and when it does,
depend upon it I'll stop it. He had not been
near the fire, and taken the tea log, before gush
came the blood again. • I plugged it i,n the man-
ner I have described ; he did not think it pos-
sible that it could, be suppressed, but I stayed ail
that night in his house, and not a drop of blood
more issued. Now the plug reaming lit for three
or four days, and a nasty stinking piece of busi-
ness it is. .I..et'it stay for three or four days
and, during that time, you ought to be employed
in putting the alimentary organs to rights, then
,you withdraw the plug.
