SOCIAL SCIENCE ASSOCIAIION. EDINBURGH, Oat 9. After the delivery of Lori Curriebill'e address yesterday morntog the real bushiest of the emaciation was proceeded with, in the various departments, by the reading of papers and the discussion of them. The whole of the sir departments were very well attended. Hi, Royal Highness Prince Alfred, accompanied by Major Cowell, was present, daring some portion of the day, in each of the sections._ Is. the mirth deportment • paper by Miss Florence Nightin gale was read, the title being " How People may Live and not Die in India." The preservation of health in lodia is • quondam of eoesiderable interest. sod has a very Important bearing upon the question of how the British race was to retain poseemion of their wondrous Eastern Empire. The paper of Mies Nightingale, which was read by Dr. Soorethy Jackson, the secretary to the department, com menced by stating that the subject of it was the of the most important social questioos of the day, vii., how the British race was to hold possession of India, and to bestow upon ite vast population the benefit of her own civilisation. The first fact of the question was for the pre sat the toast important ow, for were it impossible to keep possession of India there was an end of the problem. The royal commission on the sanitary state of the army in Isdia —whose report constitutes • new social starting point foe Imßue civilisstion—had shown that unless the health of the British army in India could be improved, and the enor mous death-rats redsced, this country would Dewar be able to hold India with a British army. As yet the offset of that stsatitmeittram sot tally felt. Jar the Indian army was com paratively Dew ; bat unless stew were taken by the Indian government to give effect to the recommeadatiocis of the othunismioe it was unhappily certain that the mortality would therms" with length of service. The average death rate of the troops sowing in ledin was no leis than 69 per 1,000 per annum—a fact which was proved both by the statement of Sir Alatand,r Tullooh and subsequent in quiries. That death-rate, moreover, did not include those who were invalided and who died on the voyage to laid, or soon • that their return ; bat taking it simply se Ba i c t wee, and summing the strength of the British army at 73,000, it proved that snob an army would ass cm aa avenge of years an entire brigade of 5,007 men per annum ; sometimes it would be half that number, but in other years it would lose two such brigades. And when wen they to find 10,000 recruits to fill tip tbegap of deaths of a mingle nahealthy year? It was said that the death• rata ci the war year being the highest (tot from wounds), peace, and not sanitary memares, was the reals s % As well might it be said that the British army had nearly perished before Sebastopol, not from wounds, but from want of every supply of oivilimed life, and peace, and sot the supply of the wants of civilised life, was the remedy. The royal commission had shown that if the death-rah' were reduced to even 20 per 1,000 per annum (which is too high)—that was double that of home stations since the,. stations had improved—to India would be saved a tax equal to 1,0001. sterling. And this represented the mere met of replacing the men oat off by excess of premolar, and preventible mortality. Reforriog next to the fess tioo how this great death-rate in India had &nese, Miss Nightingale said—l am afraid the reply must be that British civilisation is insular and local, and that it takes small account of how the world goes on out of its small island. There is • certain aptitude among other nations which enables them to adapt them selves more or leis to foreign climates and countries. But wherever you place your Briton you may feel quite satisfied that be will care bathing about climates. If he has been a largo eater and a hard drinker at home, ten to one le will be, to may the least of it, as large an eater and as large • drinker in the burning plains of Rindostan? Enlist an Irish or • Scotch labourer, who has does many • hard day's work almost entirely on farinscootis or vegetable diet, with °maximal doses of whisky, at some Indian station, where the thermometer rages at between 90 deg. and 100 deg., and he will make no difficulty in disposing of three or four time' the quantity of animal food he ever ate under the hardest lahmr during winter at home, if, indeed, he ever ate any at all. Now the ordinary system of dieting British soldiers in Lida is more aapted to a cold climate than that of oat-of.door fermeertants doing work in Ragland. More than this, the occasional dram at home is commuted by regulation is India into a permission to drink two drams, i.e., six comes of ruin spirit every day. Art be it remembered, that at the same time, the men have little or nothing to do. The craving for spirit induced by this regulation habit of tippling leads to increase of drunks:inane ; so that, what with over eating, over-drinking, total idlences, and vice springing directly from these, the British soldier in leas has small chance indeed of caplet' with the climate, so-called. The regulation alkommos of gam spirits, whieti• man may darn° at the canteen, is DO lame thee 1S pikes per annum, which is, I believe, three times the amount per individual, which has raised Scotland, in the estimation of economists, to the rank of being the most spirit consuming nation in Europe. Of late years malt liquor has been partly substituted for spirits. But np to the present time every man, if he thinks fit, may draw his 184 gallons a-year of spirits besides what he gets surreptitiously at the Bauer. So much for istemperanto ; but mot to this, or to Its kindred vice alone, or to this mainly, isto be laid the 'oldie's' mortality in India, as has been falsely supposed. The diseases from which the soldier mainly suffers there are miasmatic ; now, Intemperance never pro duced inisematie diseases yet. They are foul-air diseases and foul-water dimmer, fevers, dyereteries, and so mi. Intempe rance may cause liver disease, and put the Nan into • state of health which prevents him film resisting miasmatic causes. What are theme canoes? We have not far to look. The Briton leaves his national civilisation behind him and brings his personal vices with him. At home then have been great improvements everywhere is sgricultum and in town drainage, and in providing plentiful and pure water supplies. There in nothing of the kind in India. There a no drainage either io town or country. There is not • mingle station drained. If such • state of things existed at home, we should know that we have fevers, cholera, and etre demi to expect. But hitherto no one bas expected anyt 'lig of the kind from these same memo in India, although they are always happening. As regards water, there is certain ly not • single barrack in India which is supplied, In our sense of the tot m, at all. There are toothier water pipes nor drain pipes. Water is to be had sabot from tanks into which all the filth on the neighbouring suffice is washed by the mina, or from shallow wells dug in newholesome or doubtful soil. So simple • piece of mechanism as • pump is unknown. Water is drawn in skins, carried in ski°s on the backs of swine or bullocks. and poured into any sort of vessel in the barracks for use. The quantity of ester is utterly insufficient for health ; and as to the quality, tholes' said shout that the better. There is no reason to hope that any station in the country has what may be called • pure water supply. Am' at some it is to be feared that when men drink water, they drink cholera with It. The construction of barracks when men have to pass their whole period of genies is another illustration of bow completely home civilisa tion is reversed in India. All our best soldiers have been brought up in country cottages, and when in barracks at home there are rarely more than from 12 to 20 men in a mom; but as soon as the soldier goes to India, he is put into • room with 100, or 300. and is one case with as many as 600 also. Jost when the principle of subdivision into a number of detached bar racks becomes literally of vital Importance the proceed ing is reversed, and the men are crowded together under circumstances certain even in Enlland to destroy their health. To take another illustration. Our home Bri tish population Is about the most active hi the world ; in fact, we in this country consider exercise and health in separable. But as moos as the earns man go to India they are shut up all day in their hot, dose barrack-moms, when they also eat and sleep. They are not allowed to take ex. erase ; all their meals are eaten in the hottest part of the day, and served to them by native servants ; and they Ile on their beds idle, and partly sleeping, till sunset. IJorefreshing day sloth" it Judged, alleged as one of the causes for the soldier's ill-health in lodis—the soldier, the type of endurance and activity, who now becomes the type of sloth. The iodise social state of the British soldier is not only the reverse of the social state or the soldier at home, and of the cams from which he is take., but there is • greet exaggeration in the wrong direction, and people are sur prised that British soldiers die in India, and then they lay the whole blame oh the climate. It is natural to us to seek a scapegoat for every neglect, and climate has been made to play this part ever since we set foot in India. Miss Nightingale proceeded to refer to the malts of the inquiry of the Royal Commissioe mellowing that thee* was not a shadow of proof that India was created to be the grave of the British race. The evidence, on the contrary, was quite in the other direction, and showed that all that the clunate required was that men should adapt their social habits and customs to it—as. indeed, they must do to the requitement& of every climate nuder helmets. This necessity includes all the recommendations made by the Royal Commission for improving the health and halving, or ri quarteng the death-rate of the British army in India. They all amount to this—You have in India such acl imate—if you wish to keep your health in it, be moderate in eating and drinkieg, eat very little animal food, let your diet he chietly farinaceous sad vegetable. Spirits are a poise, to be used only (like other poems) for any good purpose under medical deice. Use beer or light wine, bid sparingly--drink coffee or tea—elothe yourself lightly to suit the climate, wearing thin damsel !always nut the skin ; take plenty of exercise, and toe prudes*, and common sense as to the times of it.

If all these improvements were carried out, the normal death rate of the British soldier would be not 69 per 1,000. but 10 per 1,000, ley the com missioners. But it is not for the soldier alone we speak. The report has a much deeper meaning and latent thau this —it aims at nothing less than to bring European civilisation and appliances to the natives of India. Such revelations are made, especially in the reports from the stations with regard to the sanitary condition of these, as to be almost incredible. Everywhere they are suffering from epidemic diseases fevers, dysentery, cholera—constant epidemics we may call them, and constant high death - rats. (How high can never be k nown, beamed there is ao registration.) The plague end pestilence is the ordinary state of things. But the er. traordinary is when these sweep over large tracts, gathering strength in their course to pave over gigantic mountain magas, and to armed ravages over Weaken Asia sod Europe. And all this might be saved. We keow the curses of epidemic outbreaks here. Take the worst condition of the moist and most neglected distinct' at home ; multiply it ten and a hundred time. over—and this is, to say the least of it, the normal condition of every city sod town in India. Not am city or tows is drained. Domestic filth round the people's houses beggars description. Water supply is from wells or teaks in ground saturated with filth. No domestic imavemenoce. Every spare plot of ground is therefore in • condition defying us to mention it further. The air io, and for some distance around, native towns is as foul as sewer air, there being no unitary !administration and no sanitary police. Here, then, we have nue • gigantic scale the very conditions which universally precede epidemics at home, India is the focus a epidemics. Had India not been such. cholas might never ham then. Even now the Sander bands, where every sanitary evil is to be toned in its perfection, an raising a form of plague, increasing yearly I* intensity, covering a larger cad larger area, and drawing slowly round the capital of India itself. Are we to learn our lesson in time? Some say, What have we to do with the natives or their habits! Others are glad to lied an meow far doing nothing in the questions arising oat of cede. But mete has not intefered with rail. ways. Bad government is India is everything. The peo ple themselves ham no power to prevent or remove these evils, which now steed es an impassable barrier against all CV:hThe time has gone past whoa India was coed mere appanage of British commerce. la bolas( India, we must be able to show the moral right of our tesure. Id Itch is being done no doubt to improve the country—by railways, canals, and means of OXlllllllllllll{fiCS— to improve the people—by education, including under that word European literature and science. But what at home eau be dom in education, if we neglect physical health? How dries education progress here, without mesas of elesalinem, of decency, or he alth ? The wheel Immo of • month are upped in au hoar. If the people are left a in their it is m se t l o on e ld podemies and the home& sgenciee out much good seeding them to school. Where we be now, with all our schoele if London were like Calcutta, Madras, or Bombay, the three seats of govemmeet in India ? The next greet work, then, is sanitary reform in India. There is not a town which does not want water supply, draining. pub* cleansing, healthy pleas for arranging and con =buildings, together with agricultural drainage and cultivation all round. These things the people cannot do for themselves. But the Indian guaranteed ean do them. Three health depart's:mote thee for each of the Presidencies) have been recommended by the royal commis aim, together with a home commission to help thew de partments in briogiog the appliances of borne civilissden to lade. The work Is urgent. Every day it is left undone adds its quota of inefficiency to the British army, and its thousands of deaths to the native population. Danger is common to Europium and to native. Many of the best men this country ever had have files victims to the same causes of deems which have decimated the population of Hindestaa. And so it will be till the India government awakes to its met responsibility towards those 'great multitudes who are no longer strangers and foreigners, but as much the subjects of our beloved Qum as any one of us. The real, the main point, the great dis covery of the royal eommission is this—look to the state of your stations first—then look to the hills for help. Year statism' and cities are in • condition which, is the lioset temperate climate in Europe, would be—have been—the cause of the gnat plague—of half the population being swept off by dissent And on the other ). no climate in the world—certainly not that of ladth—oteild kill us if we did not kill an gelus by oar neglect.

An invitation had been sent by . the president of the Liverpool Financial Reform Association to Mr. Oo&leo, addng him to attend the coops= here, and take part is the discussioes it was &spatted would take place on the priociples of taxation. To this Levitation the armis tice' had received the following reply : " Midhund, October 3. 1863. " Deru.Sir,—As I shall sot be in Edinburgh at the sp preaching meeting of the Social Science Amenities, it will not be in my power to take part is your ducuasioa raped.. Mg the comparative demerits of direct and indirect taxation. I say derfilints, because it is really little more than a ques tion as to the form in which we shall tolerate a necessary evil. But, admitting the necessity of nine( a peen awn of money for the expenses of pvernmant, there can really be no argument, in the abact, why it should not be raised in that form which is the least oostly and inconvenient to the public. I say in the abstract, because I know all the advantage which the adversary of an abstract prioeiple gives in bringing your ' practi cal man' to subjection. Nobody can deny that Customs and Excise duties and other indirect taxes are more costly is °collection than a direct levy of taxation, and nobody who has examined the 'abject can doubt that they obstruct eon. metes, impede manufactures, and check the production ci wealth. If a proof of this be required, compare the pro -1 pass of a fres port like Hamburgh with a Customs-bound pia= like Havre. As to the difficulty of substituting direct for indirect taxation, that is • task fee statesmen to &mom , plots Ones convince the public of the soundness of year principles, and you will soon have Huskissons. Peels, and I Oladethees ready to put them into practice. The local legislators of our town councils have already shows the way. The municipal governments of our cities contrive to raise their funds by a direct tax instead of ao noted, whisk is considered an impossible achievement by the towns of the Continent. Now, what are the taxes on tea, auger ! coffee, ke„ levied at our custom-houses, bet so many ectrot dues on • larger scale ? How impossible it would be to put up terriers at the entrance to Edinburgh or Manchester to collect the municipal rates in the clumsy form of a duty on the daily supplies of those cities ; and I as it Indy ocameosil as of my oxidesce that if we could have for a few years the experieoos of all the advantatee which en abolition of import duties into this kingdom would give us, it would be as impossible to replace the custom bosses as • substitute for the collection of direct taxes, as it would now be to levy octave dues at the suburbs of oar large towns, teethed of the direct rates which are etillthsed from house to house for municipal purposes. Of enures you will be met by politicises of all parties with the emerges that your plan is impracticable, whisk meths only that it mania at present be adopted with advantage by either of the es bairn political parties. But I repeat, if you can beat your opposents I. the kohl of abstract argument, you will goober or later fled statesmen who will be ready to give • legislative triumph to your principles. It is only • gnostic* of tine.— , Believe me, yours truly, " R. Costith;."

Though the evening was wet sod unpleasant—a thorough Scotch mist having set in about noon—the weather v.. peered to have in nowise acted as a drawback is diminishing i the numbers who accepted the invitation of the Scuttle, ! and about S o'clock the line of carriages and cabs, extending from the Waverley-bridge along the Lee of Princeentrest i and the north sad south bridges to the college gate, gave promise of a splendid and crowded gathering. Shortly after eight o'clock the hall was completely throned ; and about nine. when the company h a d a ll or near ly all arrived, it wo not easy to make way through the sp lendid 'seem blare. The hall was brilliantly lit by a row of closely-set butlers running round the cornice just below the spring of the beautiful and lofty arched ceiling ; sod all the recesses, with their varied and instructive furniture of oasts, drawings, instruments, and specimens, were abundantly illuminated by paraffin and other lamps. Tropical ferns, with their bread, cool, fanlike spread of foliage, were planted up and down the hall, and formed pleasant spots of rest and refreshment for the eye fatigued by the glare above and below, and the gay colours that flitted andand changed end lessly around • and here sad there in the galleries or below. cool shady nooks sad recesses were kept vacant as momen tary retiring places from the crowd and haat. The arrange ments withia the hall itself were admirable, and could not have been excelled, and the large abd brilliant crowd, though at times sad is parte movement save by slow inches was quite imprsoinable, yet on the whole circulated with an ease and pleasantness only heightened and made more en joyable by the occasional inconvenience. The " stalk" or exhibition rooms, into which the various 1110.1111118 of the hall had for the none bee converted-end ea to the allot:neat and soperiotendeoce of which we gave full particulars on Monday —were filled all night by inter aged crowds, who slowly made their way around the tables, listening to the explanations gives. and observing with en gineer the experiment.' made by the various professors sod other gentians" in charge. Especially was the attention of the company draws towards the stall in which his Royal Highness Priam Alfred—who, attired in ilighLuad madams, entered the ball about half-past eight o'oleak, and was received by hearty demonstra tion of weloonse—lsappesed at the time to be listening with patient and apparent) interested defences to W the 'Windom of the exhibitor..

Loudrougham, who wore hie robes as Chancellor of the tTaivenelt, hit the hall gorily before ten o'clock. EXCURSION TO THE CASS ROCK. About a hundred ladles end gentlemen, members of the eanociatioa, availed themselves yesterday of the kind otter made by Mesas. Gibeos and Co., owners of the Rotterdam line of screworamers, to make a trip down the Forth and rotted the Bar Rock. When the company arrived at Leith, to go on bard the steamer, they found the wind blowing very freshly from the earth-east, and in she distance the white areas were seem on the tumbling water, and ocersionally clouds of spray dashed over the pier. sug gesting thoughts of trouble and distress for the landoman, the victims of the mal du user. The owner very considerately put it to the corn= whether, with the certainty of • rough blow from the N Bee, they would prefer going up instead of down the Forth — to Stirling instead of the Bea Rook. To himself and the old salts co board the Rotterdam steamer it was of courses matter of iso account, and he was only anxious that the trip should be road' as agreeable as possible to all parties. It was belly resolved that the ladies on board should decide by a show al horde. and the result of the appeal was that the Bess Rock bras carried by an overwhelming majcsity, the ladies almost to • man voting for " the se., the sea,' Wham the milk of the pell was announced about a doom' ff ..... tliness west; on shore, and returned. I presume, to Elio- STQoederinggreatly, no doubt, at the strange perversity ageles, gad moralising on that love of adveeture sod the heroism of frail and tender woman. The trip proved a meet agreeable one. The Osborne, steaming against a strong head wind, pitched and tamed in a very hvely sod play ful menner, and the company en baud were net lees merry, mad, with scarcely an exception, heartily eajoyed them selves.
