~ ‘Jth. At 8 a.m., the Vulture, Harrier, and transport Rob Roy arrived, the latter with pro- visions from ldnglan . At noon. the .\lerlin carrying the French Admiral Pcnaud and several French and l‘1nr,;lish captains, proceeded to re- connoitro Cronstadt. They were attcndc the Dragon, Firelly, and the corvette Illlssa. Going lirst along the north side ofthe lslund they approached within -1,000 yards of the block ships lying in the open water between Croustadt and St. Petersbnrg. They consisted of four liners. ﬁve frigates, and two corvettcs, moored in a line along the three-fathom bank, with their broadsides bearing upon the northern assage. Inside these, fourteen steam gunboats a ' at anchor and under the wall of l\Ian-of- ar llarbour, anchored in three lines, were twenty-four row-gunboats. When the Merlin went in so close, two of the steam gunboats came out, and one ﬁred a heavy shot at her, but it fell short. In the Man-of-War Harbour were seventeen line of battle-ships, four of them fully rigged. and the others in progress. Be- tween this harbour and Fort Kronslot were ten steamers of various sizes, some of them screws, and between Kronslot and Menschikoff two three-deckers are moored bow to bow, with their broadsidcs commanding the only entrance. The island seems full of soldiers, for, besides those quartered in the town and batteries, three large camps were formed outside, two on the north and the other on the south side. Immense new cartluvorlts h;'.'.'e been erected this spring, :9. complete chain of them runs from the gover- nor's house. across the islanvl to the old licssel ll.i3: ‘ry. rlivitliiu; is into two lialvcs, one forti- li-rd. me other without a gun upon it. Just as the ‘lerliii was re:iir:iiii;;.:imi when goiiigatlgit seven lznots an hour, u. zICH.'i‘l‘ shock was felt, as ifshe had struck upon a sunken pile. lt uiade the ship quiver l'ro.=n stem to stern. The ciigiiics were instantly stopped and reversed, but before she had i-tern-way upon her. another blow. ten times more severe than the first. struck her on the starboard bow,just before the paddle-wheel.

-amenable alone to their own laws,

sensibly lifting her over to port, and making her masts bend and shake, as if they would top- lc down. The Fireﬂy was immediately in the lerlin‘s wake, and before she could stop, she ran to starboard of the ‘Merlin. and partly turn- ed round, when ii tremendous vxpmsion took place under her h.>'."s, ca-.isiu:: her to sta;‘;gcr. and proviiigwcry nlainly that tl.e_'.' were moi‘ ll nest of Professor JilCi)bl'.‘3 infernal machines.’ the existence of \'.'l.ich is now llijyflllii ll. doubt. and also that they are not such very forniidainlc alliurs after all. They then proceeded carefully until they got into deep water without niceting; with any more, and then rcconnoitrcd the south side, getting so near the shore, as to witness a sort of review at‘ the Russian horse artillei~_v, and afterwards returned to the ﬂeet. A diver : was immediately sent down to examine the Firefly. and not the slightest injury could be detected, butinside the ship almost every bit of crockery-ware was broken, and the bulk- heads thrown down or misplaced. On examin- ing the Merlin, eight sheets of her copper were blown, not scrape oil‘, and the side appeared charred. All the inside ﬁttings of the engineers’ bath-room, mess;i-oem and storeroom were coin- letely demolished. An iron tank, which was lted to the ship's side, and containing l3cwt. of tallow. was knocked a distance of four feet. Shot were shook out of their racks, and almost ever thing movable in the ship was displaced. H t is supposed these machines have been laid down. since Admiral Dundas reconnoitred the place last time: for, after he returned, two steamers came from the harbour, and were busily employed for seine time.”

A DESIZRTEB TO THE RUSSIANS.

June 2.—A soldier of the name of Price, be- longing to the 97th Regiment, deserted to the enemy this morning abopt 1 o’c oek. lie was stationed on the left ot',the,advanced work in the right attack, in the new zigzag up roach. Some of the soldiers i_i‘ar him were s eeping after the night's watchi g, and others were in- tent ou obscrvinv a hp man who wiis quietl riding between the Mal oil and hlainelon hills, notwitlzstandingz,several shots were fired towards him from the right of the advanced work. and the desertcr toolt advzintagc of these circum- stances to slip over the parapet unnoticed. He at once ran towards the liussii-.n rillepit, and]

was just on the point ofclinibiiig into it, when he ‘ >

was seen. Three or four shots were immediately fired but the aim was too hurried, and they missed their mark. Another volley was sent in . the same direction: too late. ltowever, for by dint of his own cxertioii, and the help of semi of tho PsllSSl3l‘| ritlcmcn in dragging him over, , he was safe within shelter of the parapet. into Willttil the biillvrts penetrated with no ell:-at be-, yond scattcrirg a few little clouds of dust. Shortly afterwards the cneinv testified theirfoy at the acquisition they him made by holding- aloft the red sliell-jacket, which they must have taken oil‘ the descrter us soon as he was ‘ safe within the pit, and also by waving some caps and handltcrchiefs in the air. The ii had succeeded in carrying his Minie with him. 1 Strange to say, this soldier had served sixteen years in his regiment. He had forfeited all claim to pension, however, on account ofa re- -. vious desertion, for which he had been trie by court-martial. lie is described as a man of drunken habits, and generally had character.

.iicn: ll-s;ltllI1~\.' ;mli:-nn-

personal lacliesse and incompetency in our administrators, various defects in the admi- nistrative organization of the Army Depart- ment are pointed out, to which this inefficient management is in part attributable. The Mi- nister of War, we are told, had no separate otliee for his work, no precedents to guide him‘, no adequate means of menacing the war. The Seci-et;iry at War. we are to 21. had no power to originate anything. Of the Ordnance Depart- ment, it is stated that the public business was obstructed h ' the conflict of parties which arose at the card, when unanimity was most required. The Committee p ofcss to be unable to decide which department is to blame for the n-arrival of supplies at their destination. the want of adequate stowage in the trasports, phe want of warehouse room at Balaclava, &c. ithout proceeding further .-it nl't':SUnt, the defects in the organization of the Var depart- incnt new mentioned go far to account for its iiieiiiciency.

Il\ll'OR'l‘ANCl:'. or Riacmnx ix DlSEA5l:.- In the treatinent of diseases, regimen- that is, the regulation oflhe various func- tions of the body, as affected by rest or exercise, by temperature, by air, by men- tal excitement or quictude, &c.—has always been considered as of great importance. The tendency ofinodern medical practice is to set ll higher value upon it than ever. ‘The regulation of the diet alone (forming one single subsidiary department of the general doctrine of the regimen) is, indeed, sometimes in itself suﬂicicnt to arrest the action and progress ' In the first day of a cute instance, simple abstinence from iliii s generally effects a rapid and speedy cure; a proper vegetable diet is sufficient, in most instances, to re- move thc most aggravated cases of scorbuc tus; the inculeatien of a due animal did forms, in the same way, the sheet-anchor of the physician in the treatment ofdiabetes; and there are few cases of constipation or of dyspepsia, however chronic or obstinate, that cannot be ultimately rectified by dietetic means alone, _end without the aid of medi- cine.--Dr-.
