AN IMPORTANT DISCUSSION.—The "`Times," the "Lancet," and other leading journals have been lately canvassing the social considerations in volved in " the amount of death and disease caused by vice." Some interesting statistics are brought to bear upon the inquiry ; but it would greatly add to their value if they in cluded the facts respecting the origin, the ravages, and the prevention of that SPECIAL VICE, which wars more than any other against the welfare of society—destroying the happi ness and disappointing, the objects of matrimony, under mining the constitutions, blasting the prospects, embittering and shortening the lives of its victims, and spreading desola tion through families. The essential particulars relating to this great social evil (the besetting snare of inexperienced youth and the curse of maturity), together w ith ample instructions for removing its effects, and recovering health, vigour, and all the ennobling privileges of our being, a re contained in Dr. LA'MERT'S "SELF-PRESERVATION,"' a Treatise on Nervous and Physical Debility, of which the 00th Edition has just been published by Mann and Co., 30.

It having been suggested that a subscription should be commenced in the camp at Colchester in aid of the distressed workmen and their families in the cotton districts, a list has been opened for the contributions of those officers, non-commissioned officers, and privates who feel disposed to contribute to this object. The adoption of any means to increase the list of subscriptions, beyond the announcement of the sums contributed, and the object to which they are to be applied, has been moat rigidly pro hibited by the authorities. Lieut.-Col. Laye, 9th battalion, Major West, 10th battalion, with the Revs, J. Somerville and Canon Shepperd, military chaplains, will form a committee for the purpose of receiving and transmitting the subscriptions. THE MAMMOTH BALLOON. In spite of gloomy and threatening weather, there was a large attendance of spectators at the Crystal Palace on Wednesday, to witness what had been announced as the " last ascent for the season" of Mr. Cox well's mammoth balloon. When it had been duly inflated, under the superintendence of Mr. Ohren, the manager of the Crystal Palace Dis trict Gas Company, the balloon was conveyed to that portion of the grounds from which it was intended to ascend. It had been publicly announced that " partial ascents " would be made, but so fresh a breeze was blowing that Mr. Coxwell at first declared it to be unsafe, and posi tively declined to make the attempt. Anxious, how ever, not to appear as if he had broken faith with the public, he reconsidered his determination, and consented to make one partial ascent before setting off for the voyage in the evening. The car was quickly filled, some ladies being amongst the pas sengers, and the great balloon, fastened by loose ropes to the ground and to a tree, rose rapidly. When the time arrived for her descent, it became plain that Mr. Coxwell's misgivings had been well founded. The monster swayed to and fro, and the men employed at the ropes, whether from nervous ness or from stupidity, seemed at a loss what to do. Seeing that the balloon was descending at some little distance, and that no means were being taken either to break its fall or prevent it from rcasccnd ing, Mr. Glaisher, who was standing amongst the spectators, rushed forward, followed by one or two other gentlemen. The car struck the ground heavily; the task of preventing it from rebounding was far too great for the strength of the few volunteers; and in less time than it takes to write these few lines, the balloon rose again, carrying Mr. Glaisher and two others into the air. Whilst ono descended, hand-over-hand, by a rope, Mr, Glaisher and an other grasped the car as firmly as they could; and Mr. Coxwell, seeing his old companion in danger once more in a somewhat perilous position, gripped him by the collar. After a few minutes of painful suspense the balloon descended. By this time there were hands enough to hold her down,and Mr. Glai sher again reached terra firma in safety. His coat was torn, but he had sustained no personal injury. Had the men employed for the purpose shown but half the alacrity and courage ofa few amateurs, this scene need not have occurred. All the party, how ever, for the great ascent (11 in number) having taken theiriseats—the grapnel having been secured, the ballast-bags counted, and the usual prepara tions made with even more than ordinary care, since it appeared likely enough that the journey would not be altogether free from danger—Ai r. Coxwell at length gave the word to let go, and then, amidst the cheers of the crowd, the monster seemed to bound into the air. The descent, which occurred I,anceear°llD soretcpilingng ground in the parish of si A x i , jok to lo o h k arn p a few minutes befohre We understand that it is Mr. Coxwell's intention to make one more ascent from the Crystal Palace, several gentleman having been disappointed in ob taining seats. An ascent from Winchester, under the auspices of the officers there—some of whom s hared in the expedition we have described—will ta k e place on the Ist of October. The utmost height re ached on Wednesday was a little under a mile an d a half. MURDER IN LIVERPOOL.-COMIIIITTAL OF THE PRISONERS. Yesterday Neal O'Donnell, the man charged with murdering James Morris in Derby-street, Liverpool, on Monday last, was brought before the magistrates on remand, and a shoemaker named Coyne was also brought up on remand charged with being an accessory before the fact. Co 3 ne a few months ago was sentenced to imprison ment for stabbing. It will be remembered that O'Donnell on Monday last murdered James Morris, who had been sent by a bailiff to distrain upon his himwith a large knife which he procured stabbing from aprovision dealer's dente taken on M on d ay was deemed sufficient for goods, th e purposes of a committal in and witnesses were h t erefore only brought up. for examination before charge against Coyne. Richard Ashworth, a process server, was called, and stated that he was in Whitechapel on the after noon of the murder, and that his attention was drawn to a crowd in Derby-street. He saw the ' prisoner Neal O'Donnell come out of the shop and run off in the direction of Mr. Eaglesfield's shop in Whitechapel. O'Donnell returned in about three minutes. In passing to the shop he ran against witness, who observed a large knife in his hand. When at the shop-door Coyne pushed O'Donnell through the crowd to where the men who were re moving the furniture stood, saying, "Now, go into them !" Coyne must have seen the knife in O'Don nell's hand. Witness did not see the blow struck which deprived Morris of life. When O'Donnell was returning from Eaglesfield's shop the crowd observed that he ce.rried a knife, fur they shouted out, " He has got a knife."

The Cup-day was almost as productive of interest among the masses from all parts of the country as ,had been that of the Great St. Leger. The crowd began to assemble, under a bright sunshine, soon after breakfast, and by mid day the stands were, for a second time in one week, filled nearly to repletion. The Cup, the chief item in the pro gramme, was displayed in the saloon, and is really a hand some ornament, reflecting credit on both modeller and manufacturer; it represents Queen Boadicea, in her chariot, haranguing the Ancient Britons, and stands 26 inches in height. It was supplied by London and Ryder, of Bond street, who will deliver it to Lord W. Powlett on its return from Doncaster. The race for it created an immense amount of interest from the meeting of Backstone, who lost the St. Leger by a head only, with the famed grandson of Van Tromp, who has won the Chester Cup and h er Majesty's Vase at Ascot. Tim Whiffler, as will be read in our account of the race, won it in most gallant style, and proved himself one of the best horses England has of late years produced. The day's sport was excellent, time punctually observed, and the best meeting ever known at Doncaster, concluded at five o'clock. Match, 500 sovs, li ft; Bst 71b each. Red-house in.

The following is a translation of the speech deli vered by Victor Hugo at the dinner recently given in his honour at Brussels " Gentlemen,—My emotion cannot be expressed. You will be indulgent if words fail me. If I had only to reply to the honourable chief magistrate of Brussels my task would be easy ; I would only have to repeat, in order to praise a magistrate who is so popular, and a city which is so nobly hospitable, what is in all your minds. I need only be an echo. But how can I thank the other eloquent and cordial voices which have spoken of me ? By the side of those great publishers to whom we owe the fruitful idea of a universal publishing-house —a kind of pre paratory bond between nations, I see journalists, philosophers, eminent writers, the honour of litera ture, the honour of the civilised Continent. I am troubled and confused at finding myself the centre of such a fete of intellect, and at seeing so much honour reflected upon me, who am but a conscience accepting a duty—a heart resigned to sacrifice. How can I thank you ? How shake hands with you altogether ? The means are simple. What do you all—writers, journalists, publishers, printers, publicists, thinkers—represent ? All the energy of intelligence, all the forms of publicity, you are mind—Legion—you are the new organ of a new society you are the press. I propose a toast to the press—to the press of all na tions—to a free press—to a press powerful, glorious, and fertile. Gentlemen, the press is the light of the social world, and wherever there is light there is something of Providence. Thought is something more than a right—it is the very breath of man. He who fetters thought strikes at man himself. To speak, to write, to print, to publish, are in point of right identical things. They are circles constantly enlarging themselves from intelligence into action. They are the sounding waves of thought. Of all these circles—of all these rays of the human mind —the widest is the press. The diameter of the press is the diameter of civilisation itself. With every diminution of the liberty of the press there is a corresponding diminution of civilisation. When the free press is checked we may say that the nu trition of the human family is withheld. Gentle men, the mission of our time is to change the old bases of society, to create true order, and to substi tute everywhere realities for fictions. During the transition of social bases, which is the colossal work of our time, nothing can resist the press, applying its power of traction to catholicism, to militaryism, to absolutism, to the dense blocks of facts and ideas. The press is force. Why ? Because it is intelli ligence. It is the living clarion; it sounds the rertille of nations; it loudly announces the advent of justice; it holds no account of night, except to salute the dawn ; it becomes day and warms the world. Sometimes, however, strange occurrence it is it that gets warnings. This is like the owl reprimanding the crow of the cock. Yes, in certain countries the press is oppressed. Is it a slave ? No, an enslaved press is an impossible junction of words. Besides there are two modes of being enslaved—that of Spartacus and that of Epic tetus. The one breaks his chains ; the other shows his soul. When the fettered writer cannot have recourse to the first method, the second remains for him. No; let despots do what they will ; I call those free men who hear me to witness—and you, M. Pelletan, have recently said so in admirable language, and, moreover, you and many others have proved it by generous exam ple—there is no slavery for the mind. Gentlemen, in the age in which we live there is no salvation without liberty of the press, but, on the contrary, misdirection, shipwreck, disaster everywhere. There are certain questions which are the questions of the ago, which are before us, and are inevitable. There is no medium—we must break upon them or take refuge in them. Society is irresistibly sailing on this stream. These questions are the subject of the painful book of which such splendid mention has been made just now. Pauperism, parasitism, the production and distribution of wealth, money, credit, labour, wages, the extinction of proletarian ism, the progressive decrease of punishments, wretchedness, prostitution, the right of women, who constitute half the human race, the right of a child who demands—l say demands—gratuitous and com pulsory education, the right of soul, which implies religious liberty—these are the problems. With a free press they have light thrown upon them ; they are practicable ; we see the precipices about them, and the issues from them; we may attack them and solve them. Attacked and solved they will save the world. Without the press there is profound dark ness. All these problems become immediately for midable. We can only distinguish sharp outlines ; we may fail of finding the entrance and society may founder. Quench the pharos and the port becomes a rock. Gentlemen, with a free press error is not possible; there is no vacillation, no groping about in the progress of man. In the midst of social problems, of the dark cross-paths, the press is the indicating finger. There is no uncertainty. Advance to the ideal, to justice and to truth; for it is not enough to walk, you must walk forward. How are you going ? That is the whole question. To counterfeit move ment is not to accomplish progress. To make a footprint without advancing may do for passive obedience—to walk about for ever in the path is but a mechanical movement, unworthy of man: let us have an aim—let us know where we are going— let us proportion the effort to the result—let an idea guide us in each step we take—let every step be logically connected with the other—let the solution come after the idea, and let the victory come after the right. Never step backwards. Indecision in movement shows emptiness of the brain. What is more wretched than to wish and not to wish? He who hesitates, falls back, and totters, does not think. As for mc, I can no more admit politics without a head than I can Italy without Rome. Since I have pronounced the word Rome, let me interrupt my thought for a moment and direct it to that hero who is lying down on his bed of pain. Indeed he may smile ; glory and right are with him. What strikes one down—what crushes one—is that there can be found in Italy—in that noble and illustrious Italy—men who draw their swords against thi s virtue. Do these Italians, then, no longer recog nise a Roman ? These men call themselves men of Italy ; they shout out that it is victorious, and do not perceive that it is decapitated. Ah this is a sad misadventure, and history will start back in dignant before this hideous vic tory, which consists in killing Garibaldi in order that Italians may not have Rome. Gentlemen , who are the a ux ili ar i es o f the patriot ? The press. What is the terror t, f the coward and the traitor ? press. I know it ; the press is hated; and this is a great reason for loving it. Every indignity, every persecution, every fanaticism, denounces, insults, and wounds it as far as they can. I recollect a celebrated en cyclical, some remarkable words of which have remained on my memory. In this encyclical a Pope, onr contemporary Gregory XVI., the enemy of his age, which is somewhat the misfortune of popes—and having ever present in his mind the old dragon and beast of the Apocalypse, thus described the press in his monkish and barbarous Latin, oda ignea, caligo, impetus immanis cum strepitu horrendo (a fiery throat, darkness, a fierce rush with a horrid noise). I dispute nothing of the description. The portrait is striking. A mouth of fire, smoke, pro digious rapidity, formidable noise. Just so. It is a locomotive which is passing—it is the press, the mighty and holy locomotive of progress. Where is it going ? Whereis it dragging civilisation? Where is this powerful pilot-engine carrying nations ? The tunnel is long, obscure, and terrible; for we may say that humanity is yet underground, so much envelopes and crushes it, so many superstitions, prejudices, and tyrannies form a thick vault around it, and so much darkness is above it. Alas ! since man's birth the whole of history has been subter ranean. We see nowhere the divine ray ; but in the nineteenth century, after the French revolution, there is hope, there is certainty. Yonder, far in a distance, a luminous point appears. It increases ; it increases every moment ; it is the future ; it is realisation; it is the end of woe, the dawn of joy; it is Canaan, the future land where we shall only have around us brethren and above us Heaven. Strength to the sacred locomotive ! Courage to thought; courage to science; courage to philoso phy. Courage to the press ! courage to all of you writers ! The hour is drawing nigh when men, delivered at last from this dismal tunnel of 6 , 000 years, will suddenly burst forth in all its dazzling brightness. Gentlemen, one word more, and let me make it, with your kind indulgence, a per sonal one. To be in your midst is a happiness. I thank God, who has given me in my hard life this charming moment. To-morrow I shall enter into the shade ; but I have seen you, I have spoken to you, I have heard you, I have shaken your hands—all this I carry with me into my solitude. You my friends of France, and you my other friends who are here, will feel it quite natural that I should address my last words to you. Eleven years ago you saw almost a young man de part ; you find an old man. The hair is changed but not the heart. I thank you for having remem bered me absent. I thank you for having come here. Accept—and you also younger men whose names were dear to me at a distance, and whom I now see for the first time—accept my deep feelings of emotion. It seems as though amongst you I breathe something of my native air ; as though e ach of you brings me a little of France ; as though from all who are grouped around me there shone something charming and soft like light which re sembles the smile of one's country. I drink to the press, to its power, to its glory, to its efficiency, to its liberty:in Belgi u m, i n G erman y, i n S w it zer l an d, inltaly, in Spain, in England, in America, and to its eman emanci pation elsewhere." LITE.RA7URE. Burks and the Australian Exploring Expedition of 1860. By Andrew Jackson. Smith, Elder, and Co., Corn hill. On the list of those who have fallen victims in the cause of geographical discovery the names of Burke and Wills deserve, and will hold, a distin guished place. To them we are indebted for a knowledge of a large portion of the Australian con tinent, which had hitherto baffled the efforts of ex plorers, but which now proves to be well watered, fertile, and admirably adapted for pastoral and grazing purposes. The expedition, of which Robert O'Hara Burke was the leader, left Melbourne on the 20th of August, 1860, and appears to have been amply provided with everything necessary for the journey. Camels had been imported from India for the occasion, a private subscription, amounting to three thousand two hundred pounds, had been raised, and a sum of six thousand pounds had been voted by the Legislature towards the expenses : the whole being placed at the disposal of a com mittee of the Royal Society of Victoria, of which Sir Henry Barkly, K.C.8., Governor of the Colony, was president. Next in command to Mr. Burke was Mr. Landells, to whom had been entrusted the importation of the camels; and the third officer of the expedition was Mr. W. J. Wills, of the Mel bourne Observatory. In addition to these a medi cal adviser and botanist was chosen in Dr. Herman Beckler, and Dr. Ludwig Becker served as artist, naturalist, and geologist. Altogether the party consisted of fifteen persons ; provisions and stores to the value of nearly £5,000 were supplied, and all available information likely to be of service to the explorers had been collected prior to their depar ture. Nothing, in short, was omitted that seemed likely to conduce in any way t 3 the success of the expedition. At Alenindie, however, about 400 miles from Melbourne, the first difficulty arose, a prologue, in fact, to a series of mishaps which was to cost the leaders their lives ; Mr. Landells, the second in command, declined to submit to Mr. B urke's authority, resigned, and his example was followed by Dr. Beckler, the medical officer. Thus deprived of two of the most important members of the party, Mr. Burke was forced to avail himself of the services of a Mr Wright, and having left part of the expedition at Menindie he proceeded with the remainder, under Wright's guidance, as far as Cooper's Creek, some four hundred miles further on. Here, unwilling to embarrass himself with more followers and baggage than was absolutely necessary, he again divided his party, determining to take with him for the purpose of exploration only Wills, with two men named Gray and King ; leav ing the remainder at Cooper's Creek to form a de pot, under the charge of a Mr. Brahe, with strict injunctions not to leave unless compelled by abso lute necessity. Then, having made Wright third officer of the expedition, he sent him back to Menindie with orders to bring on the remainder of the stores to Cooper's Creek without delay, so that on the return there of the exploring party they might find at once all they required. But unfortu nately Wright proved utterly unfit for the respon sible position in which he was placed. Instead of leaving Menindie at once he lingered about for more than three months; in fact, until Brahe had been himself forced to leave Cooper's Creek through the illness of his men. Thus Burke on his return was deprived of the assistance he so much needed, the consequences of which were fatal both to himself and Wills. The object of Burke, when he left Melbourne, was to cross the continent from sea to sea by proceeding to the Gulf of Carpentaria on the northern coast. This he accomplished successfully. Ho did not, it is true, obtain a sight of the open sea, in consequence of the swampy nature of the ground near that part of the coast, but he, with his party, proceeded sufficiently far down the Flindersh River to find th a t th e tid e e bb e d an d flowed w il , • and they and that the water was quite salt ; n they the n d ec id e d on re t ur ning. Th®y were now obliged to reduce the allowance of pro visions, and they had, on first turni ng home wards, five camels and a horse, but three of the former as well as the latter they walked,ge getting were obliged to kill, on acc ountof their knocked up. Two of the party then camelsas much as ' two rode, order to spare the rst to fall ill, he got days before the party possible. Gray wasdthfoeu gradually worse, and four So e k w a were the survivors that they w ere . carcely able to di g hi s were obliged to halt a whole day reached Cooper's Creek he they grave, indeed for that purpos 0• On the 21st they p us h e d on t hi r t y miles. Mr. Burke rode one of the camels, Mr. Wills and King the other. The poo r an i m als, doubtlesg, did their beet, imagining that they, too PRICE..... .4d. STAMPED ....sd. were approaching a land of plenty. Mr. Burke w as a little in advance ; and it is touching to read how he often said, !„‘ I think I see their tents a-head; ' how he called out the names of his men several times, fondly expecting to hear their voices in reply; but not receiving any answer, supposed that they must have merely shifted to some other part of the creek. Alas ! on arriving in the evening at the depot, to their consternation, they found it de serted. On the morning of that very day, the hearts of the men left at Cooper's Creek had yielded to fears for their own safety, and they were gone ! " Despairing, iu their exhausted state, of being able to overtake Brahe, or to reach Menindie, which was 400 miles distant, they decided on striking off to the right, and attempting to get as far as Mount Hopeless, about 150 miles off, and where they could have obtained succour. Accordingly, having in creased their store of provisions, by the addition of some which had been left by Brahe, and still having two camels, they left Cooper's Creek on the second day after their arrival. But shortly after one of the camels, unfortunately, got bogged by the side of a water hole, and, finding it impossible to get him out, they were obliged to shoot him, and in a few days the other also was knocked up, and shared the same fate. They were now obliged to live upon fish, when they could fall in with the na tives, and get a supply, and upon a kind of flour made of nardoo seed, but the diet did not agree with them. They were worn out with fatigue, and Wills, unable to move, was left in a hut, with a small store of nardoo flour, while Burke and King left to try to get assistance from the natives. The entry respecting this, made by Wills in his diary, was as follows :—" Mr. Burke and King are preparing to go up the creek in search of the blacks. They will leave me some nardoo, wood, and water, with which I must do the best I can until they return. I think this is almost our only chance. I feel myself, if anything, rather better, but I cannot say stronger. The nardoo is beginning to agree better with me; but, without some change, I see little chance for any of us. They have both shown great hesitation and reluctance with regard to leaving me, and have re peatedly desired my candid opinion in the matter. I could only repeat, however, that I considered it our only chance, for I could not last long on the nardoo, even if a supply could be kept up:;" and in his last entry he says "Starvation on nardoo is by no means very unpleasant, but for the weakness one feels, and the utter inability to move oneself ; for as far as appetite is concerned, it gives me the greatest satisfaction. Certainly, fat and sugar would be more to one's taste; in fact, those seem I to me to be the great stand-by for one in this ex traordinary continent. Not that I mean to depre ciate the farinaceous food, but the want of sugar and fat in all substances obtainable here is so great that they become almost valueless to us as articles of food, without the addition of something else." On the second day after leaving Wills, Burke was obliged to give up. "He walked till he dropped," and ho died on the following morning; King re maining with him to the last, and leaving him, at his desire, unburied, with his pistol grasped in his right hand. After Burke's death King found a stock of nardoo belonging to thenatives,and having remained two days to recover his strength, ho re turned to Mr. Wills. But he also was dead, and King, after burying the corpse with sand, went in search of the natives, shooting crows and hawks on the road. Hearing the report of his gun, the natives came to meet him, took him with them to their camp, gave him nardoo and fish, and cooked for him the birds he had shot. They appeared to feel great compassion for him when they understood that he was alone on the creek, and gave him plenty to eat. " They were very anxious, however," he says, " to know where Mr. Burke lay; and one day, when we were fishing in the water-holes close by, I took them to the spot. On seeing hia remains, the whole party wept bitterly, and covered them with bushes. After this they were much kinder to me than be fore, and I always told them that the white men would be here before two moons ; and in the even ing, when they came with nardoo and fish, they used to talk about the ' white fellows' coming, axed the same time pointing to the moon. I also told them they would receive many presents, and they constantly asked me for tomahawks, called by them bomagho.' From this time to when the relief party arrived, a period of about a month, they treated me with uniform kindness, and looked upon me as one of themselves." Meanwhile Brahe, hav ing quitted the depot at Cooper's Creek just seven hours before Burke and his party returned, jour neyed south with his men for seven days, when he joined Wright's party, and the two leaders went back by themselves to Cooper's Creek to see if there were any indications of Burke having visited it. Not discovering any, as they imagined, they left the spot and returned to the Darling, whence Brahe went on to Melbourne to report proceedings. A meeting of the committee was at once held, and no time was lost in sending out a relief party under the leadership of Mr. Hewitt ; in addition to which another party was sent round in a steamer to the northern coast, and several search parties were de spatched by the neighbouring colonies. Mr. Hewitt, however, proceeded to Cooper's Creek, met with indications of Burke's track, and shortly after, King, the only survivor of Mr. Burke's party, was found. " A little further on," says Mr. Howitt, " I found the party halted, and immediately went across to the blacks' wurleys, where I found King sitting in a hut which the blacks had made for him. He presented a melancholy appearance—wasted to a shadow, and hardly to be distinguished as a civi lised being but by the remains of clothes upon him. He seemed exceedingly weak, and I found it °ca . sionally difficult to follow what he said. The : na tives were all gathered round, seated on the looking with a most gratified and delighted expres sion." After searchi ng fo r and interring tne Howitt re mains of Burke and Wills, Mr. groundprepared to return ; but before lea v i ng he determin ed to reward the natives for their kindness to Burke and his companions. Accordingly, having found them, for his arrival, "1 they had disappeared two d a allseated before me, at last got them," he says," knives, and distributed the presents—tomahawks,sam tem.

They left, making signs expressive of friendship, and carrying their presents with them. The men all wore a net girdle ; and of the women, some wore one of leaves, others of feathers, I feel confident that we have left the best impression be hind us, and that the white fellows,' as they have already learned to call us, will be looked on hence forth as friends, and that, in case of emergency, any one will receive the kindest treatment at their hands." Thus terminated the last, probably, of the exploring expeditions requiring an extensive organisation, b u t which perfectly fulfilled its object notwithstanding the unlucky fate of its leaders. Through it the road to millions of fertile acres has been thrown open to the colonists ; and wherever the English language is spoken, this record of the endurance and sufferings of the brave men compos ing it will be read with the deepest interest, L_ ~~ s, do [TpPe r a soil .bury' Irigil' t the, to )111a . : rf Av; and '[ pr.
