THE CAUSES of PREMATURE DECAY.— Authors of eminence have ascribed the decline of the Roman empire to the effeminacy of manners, which precluded resistance ; and this effeminacy hey trace chiefly to vicious habits acquired in early life, by which, in our own time, an influential journalist has endcavoured to account for the de cline of population in the Asiatic provinces of Turkey. The peculiar source of physical and moral degeneracy al luded to has at all times been specially deprecated by philo sophers and philanthropists. It besets inexperienced youth, laying the foundation of future misery, polsoninc , the nuptial cup with bitter malignity; destroying health, curtailing life, and making it, durinp its brief career, a scene of anguish, from the consciousness of humiliating infirmity. The evil is but too rife in our age and country ; and expe— rience can often discern the sad results in the early deaths, the hereditary and perpetuated ailment=, and the matri monial discords and s'andals, described, in convential par lance, as " unaccountable" and "mysterious." In cases of threatened injury to or suspension of faculties whose sound ness and vigour form su 'h a prominentronstituent in human happiness, sufferers may have their fears removed, the mis chief, however severe and inveterate, eradicated, and their warmest hopes of rest ration to life's prerogatives fully realised Dr. L A 'MERT, has been engaged for 20 yearsin the treatment of these dis , rders, and his treatise on • Self-Pre serv;, tion " describes how all the attributes of Manhood are lost of yc n a can advanced r n e e s e t d o rpe period iaondd ofm al t eine( C s in s P I en a d l 'a a n n d d viiour howh t to e i, ife. 10, .0 Price is , post free in a sea ed envelope 20 stamps, by Mann, ; or from the Author. who may be consulted 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, London. daily, irom 11 till 2 and 6 till 8, at his residence,_ ----7:-L----"-y--.)6li__Z„,:Z ", ‘-e--/ 0.6-",,,,,„ '-//./-,Z,„,.,,,,„,,, -e-r....-- Y "7', e•--ft--' - it,,, .7/ L....-- 7 „ ~ . ~ . , . ... ~. .

After the usual prudent delay to allow spliniera end fragments to fal!, there Was ti general rush to the target, which at first seemed to be on fire, from the volumes of smoke pouring forth, ant which shoeted at a glance that the shell had pene trated ;the plating and burst inside, and that to that ofxotinenneat: ate t s fr'S't teak e fi the,aikftgbeaPmeroikbniege problem a l n ol d v i e n b d n e a e e n r n s l n ye examinationediron, sothehinten:is:e.of The e e target burstin i g t , w h a o s w se e s v n er, th s a e t em th e e d hve ad tak passed pi completelyace too soon o through r a o n u d g h w the hil eplate,th e s the h e shell burs t ing to " en WILFUL -DAIIIA_GE 10 TELEGRAPH CABLES. -e It will he rememb2red that sbare time ago a suh. marine telegraph cable had been wilfully damaged, by driving a nail through the outer iron wires, and so destroying the insulating material, rendering one of the conductors entirely useless. This was not an isolated instance of a submarine telegraph cable having been most maliciously injured, the following will show : The Hanoverian (Emnen) cable, belonging to the Submarine Telegraph company, was laid by the contractors in 1858, and during the submerg ence, when more than halfway towards the island of Berkman, a considerable loss of insulation was observed, and the cable was buoyed in order to be able to return to the spot if necessary, when the whole length was laid down and the end landed. When the paying out was completed and the tele graph instrument attached on shore, it was found that both wires were workable, and an arrangement was concluded between the contracting parties for it to be repaired at the manufacturer's expense, should it be requisite to do so, within twelve mouths. The year expired, and both conductors were still at work. In the fall of 1861, however, one of the wires showed great leakage and was seldom used on account of the difficulty experienced in regulating the relays. In consequence of this the directors of the Submarine Telegraph Company de termined that the repairs should be undertaken at the first appearance of fine weather. On the 16th of June last the company's engineer left with a steamer for the purpose, and reached the Dutch coast on the 19th of that month. The weather, instead of proving fair, as might be expected at that time of the year, was on the contrary most boisterous, and up to the 10th of August, when the fault was cut out, there were but seven days, and those not the very fittest, in which it was capable to handle the cable. Great difficulties had to be encountered on account of its having become deeply imbedded in the sand off the,Dutch Islands, at ,the place where the fault was founded: 'Sometime43 the cafire had to be grappled for some hundreds of yards away ; at others it was only possible to get it out of the sand at the rate of 15 or 20 feet an hour. The position of the fault was at last reduced to within a space of 6 feet, which piece 'was cut out, kept intact, and handed over to the secretary in London, so that it might be ultimately carefully examined, and a fresa length of new cable spliced in its place. Sir James Carmichael, chairman of the company, some of the directors, and Mr. France, the company's engineer, together with Messrs. Glass, Elliott, and Canning, were present at the examination of these two yards of cable, which had caused so much anxiety and loss to the company. Exteriorly, no fault could be found, but on minute inspection a slight indication of rust was observed between two of the outer wires, caused as might be imagined by the removal of the tar, by the abrasion of the implements used in making the puncture. The iron wires were then carefully re moved, and at the particular spot it was found a sharp instrument, such as a sailor's knife, had been forced through the iron wires, severing the hemp serving, penetrating and cutting through the gutta percha to the copper of one wire; the incision on the other side was not quite so deep, proving beyond question the malicious origin of the injury, which must have been done either during the manufacture or at the laying down of the cable. The reason of this fault resting so long dormant was owing to the serving of tarred jute closing under the pressure of the protecting iron wire of the sheathing on to the gutta percha, it requiring some time, during which the cable was worked, before the current forced its way through the artificial insulation. The damaged core is sealed up again and placed in the hands of the secretary. was still in the armour plate, as t he base or heel of the shell was fired out backwards and fell in front of the target, while the fragments that penetrated through appeared to have been deprived of their, force, and fell almost harmless in what may be called the between decks. The surrounding tim bers inside certainly bore no signs of damage worth speaking of. Of course, the splinters must have flown about with violence, and the concussion of the explosion must have been tremendous ; but as evidence of the shattering effect of the shell between iPel=cl thore was little or nothing to be seen. No thing, in short, to show that the plates had not been penetrated with a solid projectile. The hole also in' plate and timber was remarkably neat and clean cut, taking the form of the octagonal rifling, and having only an extreme width of 8 inches diameter —a kind of hole that could be plugged from the outside in a few minutes with very little trouble. The second shot was also of 1511 b. weight, loaded with the same bursting charge, and fired with the same charge of powder from the gun. This struck the middle plate of five inches thick on its upper edge, and like the former passed through all opposed to it and again burst inside. This time it exploded apparently when quite through the plate, shattering the teak backing to a slight extent, but doing a little more mischief with the fragments which had in one or two cases evidently struck the timber com posing the box roof and sides of the target with more force. Still, however, there was the same comparative absence of shattering effect, and still there was the same clean hole as easily plugged as the first. The third trial was with a cast iron hol low flat headed shot weighing 1301 b., and without any bursting charge. This was fired to show the immense superiority of Mr. I Xhitworth's steel pro jectiles over the cast shots and bolts hitherto used in trials with Armstrong and other guns against armour plates. The result of this experiment was conclusive. The shot, instead of penetrating the plate, broke in fragments against it, only inflicting a dint of some two inches deep ; no more mischief, in fact, than is done with the Armstrong 100-pounder, and for very much the same reason, that the cast iron shot once broken up instantly loses in its pieces the force it possessed when striking as a whole mass. The fourth trial was made with a 130-pounder steel shell loaded with only Vb. of powder, and fired from the- same gun at the usual range and 271 b. charge. This did no less than the former shells, had done, going through all and bursting inside, but it also did no more, either in its explosive force or in the nature of the hole it pierced. The fifth and last experiment made with the 120-pounder was with a solid steel shot of 1601 b. weight, which also went through the target and fell inside the box, if we may so term it. The trial was then continued with the 70-poun der at 600 yards. This experiment was looked to with much interest, as the 70-pounder, weighing less than 4 tons, is eminently adapted for use on shipboard if its penetrative power can be made equal to piercing iron frigates without effect. The first trial proved that in this respect, even at 600 yards, it could do almost as much as the 120- pounder as far as penetration is concerned. The gun was fired with a 131 b. charge, the shell weighing 811 b., having a bursting charge of 31b.120z. of pow der. This struck the uppermost or Warrior plate of 41in., but having of course the same backing as the other parts of the target, through all of which but the inner skin it passed, bursting in the wood, which it splintered upward in a part near the edge of the target. This latter circumstance prevented the full explosion of the powder being shown. An- other was therefore fired with better results, pass ing through the plate and doing very much more damage to the teak, but making uo worse hole than those which had preceded it throughout the day, and the same with the third and last shot. To esti mate the importance of this part of the experiment it must be remembered that other guns, smooth-bore and rifled, have fired in salvoes nearly as much as 9001b.weight of shot in single discharges at 200 yds against similar plates without doing more than bending, or at most cracking them, but never pene trating them. Yet here was a 70-pounder, at 600 yards, sending its shell clean through. When we state this, however, we must also in justice state that when Sir W. Armstrong fired his 160-pound spherical shot against the Warrior target some months ago, though he did not penetrate the plates, Le inflicted a much more damaging effect by shat tering than Mr. Whitworth did with his 150-pound shells of yesterday. Sir William, however, used 501 b. of powder at 30 0 yards range , Mr. Whitworth only 271 b. of powder at 800. On the whole, the result of the day's experiments was a great triumph both for the form and material of Mr. Whitworth's projectiles. He has now made it a positive certainty that he can send shells through iron plates of 5 or even 51in., and not n aeoci llr n through inner skin the plates but through the backi n g too. This is really a marvellous result, and an all must not n ot be the last by portant step gained, but it WWI very many.

One day the victory remains with the guns, and the next the targets carry off all the honours of successful resistance. The modern science of adding to the powers of artillery i s developing itself every day with astonishing rapidity, and no better proof of this fact can be given than the experiments of yesterday, when re sults were easily accomplished which a month ago were thought to be physically impossible. Sir William Armstrong, in the meantime, is not idle, and is bringing forward a weapon which his friends say will throw all that Whitworth has accom plished into the shade. If such a gun come out, it is quite possible that before it has been six months in existence a target may be brought forward which, in its turn, will have a shortlived period of invinci bility like that of the Warrior, whose reputation, once so high, Mr. Whitworth has now so effectually destroyed. Sir William and Mr. Whitworth have each a large party of supporters, and a small knot of partisans, each of whom cries " Victory" after every day's experiment, and persists in claiming temporary advantages as conclusive and irre- AP\jcEL, c ~ ~. , ‘s\ ;" i ffragable proofs of superiority. it is pi1zt,40404 1 , , ,:= r,,Y - ; are impartial who can see that theigi,iikehtli - .4f, 4t:: 44: 11 yet only brought us to the threshoXY 3 .- .Xnt4: - '..: 1 c MO , - . .+Y Iv coveries, and that apparently we are qt copict....., mencing to establish certain great principles whfeh 69 will serve as the basis on which to found still further improvements.

IMPO.R7AN7 EXPERIMENTS AT SHOE BURYIVESS. Another of those great artillery experiments which, up to the present at least, seem to be fruit- fill only in astonishing results, and in upsetting pre vious theories and even experience, was made yesterday at Shoeburyness, in the presence of an unusually large and distinguished assemblage of public officials, artillerists, and scientific men. The experiments were to ascertain the results of the mate trials of Mr. Whitworth's guns against ron targets. We say " the ultimate trials" not at all in the belief that they will be by any means the last or only trials of the kind, but as expressing the general opinion reit yearcrvb.y uponthezmund that if all in the programme was satisfactorily performed, then Mr. Whitworth's guns would have done the very utmost which is at present deemed possible to effect with any klown ordnance and much more than it was ever before believed possible to accom, plish only a few weeks ago. - - - In order that the result of this day's proceedings may be clearly understood, it is necessary to explain that the targets, which are built to the same strength as the broadsides of the armour frigates, have hitherto never been pierced, except on the recent trials with Mr. Whitworth's guns and flat-headed projectiles. A long-continued concentrated fire of Armstrong guns or the more damaging solid shot thrown by the old smooth-bore 68-pounders have bent and broken plates, but have never gone through them, or even done such mischief as would in any way seriously affect the strength or safety of a sea going frigate. On his first recent trial Mr. Whit worth, to the astonishment of every one, succeeded in sending his flat-fronted shot completely through one of these targets at 200 yards' range. His second trial,which must be in the recollection of our readers, about six weeks ago was made with a 120-pounder, which had been manufactured at Woolwich, after ,he plan used by Sir Wm. Armstrong—a series of iron coils welded together and shrunk on, one over the other. With this piece rifled on the Whitworth principle, but loading at the muzzle, not only was a solid shot sent through a Warrior target at 400 yards, but a shell also, which burst inside the armour plate, and lit the solid timber framework of the backing. This penetration of the shell was considered, and justly considered, to be the most wonderful success of all. The great primary ob ject of all armour-plating is to keep out shells. A solid shot coming in between decks is bad enough, it is almost harmless when compared with the effect which large shell, as now made, ought to produce among men crowded in groups round their heavy guns. , So universally is this fact acknowledged that many foreign Powers, among others the Federal Government, have a very considerable number of their gunboats plated with only sufficient armour "(21 inches) to keep out shell, leaving solid shot to do their worst. Our own, Government, however, wisely attempted the utmost limit of defensive power, and coated their frigates with 4-t- inches of solid iron—enough, as it was thought, and as for a long time it certainly proved to be, to keep out not only shell, but every form and weight of solid shot that artillery, whether rifled or 8m: oth-bore, could hurl against it. It was , this fancied security which the Whitworth trials so completely overturned, and shot and shell alike were sent through armour plates and teak backing, and this too at 400 yards. This was, of course, an immense success, though not an unqualified one. To make the shell as solid as possible Mr. Whitworth did not leave enough room for his bursting charge, so that the additional mischief caused by the explosion of the missile was not of much account. Artillerists also wished, be fore admitting the enormous powers of the gun, to try its penetration against the iron targets at 1,000 yards—a range of such length as would set thiS merit of the ordnance beyond all possibility of doubt or question if it was able at that distance to pene- trate its mark. The trials of yesterday then were to set at rest these two important questions—first to show if without diminishing the penetrating force of the shell it could be made to contain so much powder as to make its explosion terrible; secondly, if at a much longer range the gun with solid slot could do as much mischief as it had done at 400 yards. The 70-pounder was also to be tried at 600 yards against the target. The target used on the last occasion was, it was stated at the time, not of the same strength in point of quality of material as the old Warrior tar get which stood so much battering. The iron was comparatively inferior, and remarkably hard and brittle. These defects, however, the supporters of Mr. Whitworth's gun claim as so many additional difficulties overcome, inasmuch as the hardened fiat projectiles which cut their path easily through soft iron are liable to be broken on their way through a material somewhat similar in hardness to their own. The target fired at yester day was an entirely new one, about 10 feet high by some 14 or 15 feet broad. It was composed of three solid iron 'armour- plates, without break or porthole in any of them, and fastened to the timber backing with two-inch bolts let in at the edges, so as not to have the same source of weakness as has been here tofore occasioned by taking them through the centre of the plates. The two lower plates were five inches thick (within half an inch of the thickness of the plates with which the new iron frigates now building are to be coated) and the upper plate was 4f inches, the thickness of the Warrior's armour. There was a very general impression, however, that if the upper plate was 41in., the Governmert had given very good meesure in their thickness of the lower plates, which were nearer 54in. than 5. The plates were made at the Government dockyard, and were perfect as regards material. These plates were lined with a teak backing of transverse timbers of 12in. and 6in. thick respectively and an inner skin of wrought-iron plate tths of an inch thick. The sides and top were also enclosed, so as to make what is termed a box target, like the between decks of a ship, in order that the explosive effects of the shell if it got inside, might be fully seen.

There will be several other ships going home shortly, which will proceed to England in the order they arrive here, viz., the London, 86, Capt. H. A. Chads ; the Doris, 32, Capt. Sir F. L. M'Clintock ; Scylla, 22, Capt. R. Lambert ; and Gannet, Com. the Hon. M. Nelson. Besides the Trafalgar, 89, St. George, 89, Defence, 18 (iron), Phcebe, 17, and Chanticleer, 17, mentioned in a former letter as ordered to the Medi terranean to replace those vessels taken off the sta- tion, we also expect here the Challenger, 22, Capt. J. J. Kennedy, and the despatch boats Psyche and Caradoc, the former having been commissioned by Lieut.-Com. Stern. Her Majesty's corvette Malacca, 17, Capt. J. Napier, arrived here on the sth inst. - - from Gibraltar, having been relieved there by the Liffey, 51, Capt. G. Parker, which has been recently recommissioned for the Mediterranean. We have also at Malta just new the Edgar, 90, Capt. the Hon. F. A. Foley (bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Dacres, C. 8.), lately arrived from Gibraltar, and the Alacrity, 4, Commander J. Baird. These vessels are awaiting the arrival of the Commander-in-Chief, Sir W. F. Martin, 1CC.8., who is expected here about the end of next week, should no unexpected events occur to delay his return. The Marlborough, bearing his flag, entered the Pirreus on the 29th ult., and after reinaining there a abort time left for Smyrna and Malfa. The Queen, 76, Captain F. C. Hillyar, and the Pelican 17, Commander P. Brock, were at the Piraeus by the last accounts ; and the Shannon, 35, Capt. 0.1 Jones, was at Patras. A court-martial assembl: d this morning on board her Majesty's ship Hibernia, in Malta harbour, consist ing of Rear-Admiral Dacres, C. 8., presidebt, Capt. the Hon. F. A. Foley, Commander J.

The Court found him guilty, and sentenced him to be dismissed the ship and placed at the bottom of the list of assistant-surgeons. The Himalaya, screw troopship, Capt. E. Lacy, has been again placed in the large dock at Ports mouth to complete her repairs for further service, the dock having been again rendered vacant by the removal of the Resistance, 16, iron ram, after mak ing good defects of one of her Kingston valves. The Sharpshooter, iron screw corvette, in No. 2 dock at Portsmouth,is ordered to have the iron plates of her bottom and other defects thoroughly repaired for further service, and at the same time to have her bow fitted with a rudder on the plan patented by Commander Warren, RN., and tested a-short time since at Portstnouth under the supervision of Capt. Broadhead, commanding the reserve at the port. On that occasion the rudder was temporarily fitted at the bow of the Princess Royal, a small steamer (paddlewheel) belonging to the Portsmouth and Ryde United Steam Packet Company. An order has also been g i ve n by the Admiralty to fit Mr. Lu m l ey ' s patent jointed rudder to the Flying-fish, screw gunvessel, Commander Anderson, which arrived at Portsmouth on the 6th inst. from the West Coast of Africa, and which sailed again yesterday morning for Sheerness, after having had her boilers temporarily patched to enable her to make the voyage round from Spithead to the Nore. It is is expected that the officers and crew will be paid off from the Flying-fish and the ship receive new boilers before making her trial with Mr. Lumley's rudder. The decided and extraordinary success of the Flora, double screw steamer, in her power of turning in a small space, as shown during her trial trip on the Thames on the 7th inst., will, however,. prove to be the first step in the adoption of a new system of applying steering power to ships under steam. On that occasion the Flora, with her screw working opposite ways, made three complete turns of a circle, the diameter of which was exactly her own length, both ends of the ship moving alike, and her midship part being the pivot upon which she turned round the circle. With a ship of war possessing this power of turning, revolving towers and shields in them would be scarcely necessary, -- - the hull of the ship having the required moving power. The Eclipse, 4, screw guuvessel, commander Mayne, sailed from Portsmouth at 4 p.m. yesterday for the Australian station. In accordance with Admiralty instructions re ceived at Chatham, the stern and quarter boats of all new vessels are in future to be fitted with the necessary hooks and appliances for the use of Ely naston's patent boat-lowering apparatus, which is also to be fitted to the boats of the following vessels attached to the several divisions of the steam re serve in the'Medway—viz., the Leander, 50, 500- horse power ; the Racoon, 22, 400-horse power ; the Columbine, 4, 150-horse power; the Lily, 4, 200- horse power ; Osprey, 4, 200 horse power ; and the iron and iron-plated screw fri gates Caledonia, 50, 800-horse power; the Royal Oak, 50, 1,000-horse pow er ; and the Tamar, 3 , 600 -horse power. The paddlewheel steamer African, employed as a tender to the steam reserve in the Medway, has been found to be so defective that definite orders have been received from the Admiralty for her to be broken up. The officers and crew are turned over to the Thistle, gunboat, which will be used as a tender to the steam reserve until some other vessel has been selected to take the place of the African. The line-of-battle screw steamer Hero, 89, 500- horse power, has been found to leak considerably since her arri val at the sor e , caused, there is little doubt, from th e vessel havi ng been on shore. She is to be carefully surveyed by the dockyard officials, and a report of her condition-forwarded to the Ad miralty. The crew are busily employed in returning s t or es to the dockyard p reparatory to the vesse l being put out of commission I and placed in the sham reserve.

The shocking murder of Ann Walne, beerseller and small farmer, of Ribchester, briefly reported in our journal yesterday, was one of the most brutal tragedies that could be possibly imagined. The neighbourhood in which it occurred has lately been overrun with daring offenders, burglary and poach ing being their principal crimes. Mrs. Walne—or Old Nanny," as she was generally called— lived at the Joiners' Arms, and kept four head of cattle. She had lived here 33 years, and had been a widow for the last 18 years. She had two children, both of whom are married and live elsewhere. For some time the deceased had lived alone; and though 80 years old, was quite active and industrious. She not only attended to her domestic, but her business duties, with much celerity. She was a woman of saving habits, and was supposed to have accumu lated a round sum of money, which it was believed she had secreted in her house. To resume our nar rative of how she was found, so imperfectly stated yesterday, we may remark that after Pye and Ward (the latter being labour master at Ribchester work house, and engaged by the deceased to attend her cattle night and morning) got into the house by the back window, the iron bars of which had been wrenched off, they called out, expecting that the deceased would have answered, but eliciting no re ply, they proceeded upstairs, and in her own bed found her lifeless corpse, the bedclothes thrown over her head in a heap, her head much bruised, blood oozingfrom a fearful wound above the right ear, and another near the right temple, the bridge of . her nose broken, her face discoloured , and her eyes much swollen and blackened, her mouth gagged with a woollen handkerchief, and her hands tied to the bed-stocks with a handkerchief. Her skull had also been fractured by a heavy instrument. Across the foot of the bed was a churn-shaft or handle, about five feet long, evidently one of the weapons used to commit the foul deed. It had a few spots of blood upon it. On a chair by the bed-side was Is. 62d. in copper, and a purse containing three six pences. The house had been fully ransacked, and all the valuables carried thence, even clothing. Soon after the arrival of the police authorities upon the spot, footmarks were detected near the the back window, and suspicion fell upon a farm labourer, named Thomas Davies, employed at Mr. Baurn's, a neighbouring farmer. He was arrested and placed in safe keeping, and his clogs partly corresponded with the footprints. He is a native of the Fylde, and on Monday went to the house of the deceased to ask her if she wanted a farm ser- vent. She gave a negative answer, and it is thought he did this to ascertain whether she was living alone. He strongly denies all knowledge of the crime. Medical gentlemen who have examined the-deceased say that death has resulted from the wounds inflicted and suffocation, but that the blow on the head was sufficient to cause death. It is fully believed that the object in the first instance was robbery, but that the deceased recognising her assailant, called him by name, which made him desperate and prompted the horrible m urder. The scene of the tragedy has been visited by a large number of persons, and the strongest feelings of commiseration have been raised in the district. The coroner's inquest will be opened on Friday before Mr. H. J. Hargreaves, coroner for the hun dred of Blackburn• —Manchester Examiner.
