The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful eon seqoenees resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Vouth, degradatio in s Man an hoo 1, and premature decay at all stage s of life, than, perhap, is y other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal earticularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health. happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated with out incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret sue - ceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties t d tt erae l g ie e r m e may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitternessmay bdremoved, and_ at t ow the evil and its consequences maybe avoided, and, above all, \ e is nt sc to ar w ee h l i y eh an th y e d t e i gr me e l e y o a f la ph e y t s s i e c i a e l ne l e nfl ea rm nn ity oti o a r rp f l i y in a ct c io u n r a e l .

What do the Palmerstonians now think of Mr. VERNON slime He got rope enough last night, and the usual result happened. His worst enemy could not have damaged him half as much as he damaged himself, by the insolent contumely dis played towards the House, and the arrogant self. sufficiency of his tone and manner. His former colleagues must have been greatly ashamed of the enhibition. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE made the best fight possible for his protegi, but any effect which that venerable nobleman produced leas been completely removed by the petulant audacity of the ex-President of the India Board. His tone was that rather of a saucy schoolboy than of a Cabinet Minister, to whose hands the destinies of one hundred and fifty millions of British subjects were committed. The universal feeling of the House prevented him from inishing one sentence, which was too bad, even for the Palmerstonians, and which elicited an in dignant demonstration frown all sides of the House. But he was permitted to state that he was pre pared to justify, not having made any communi cation of what, with a singular absence of tact or knowledge of right and wrong, he is pleased to designate as a " private communication ;" and to add, that "he had not the slightest feeling of regret for not having done so." Nor was he satisfied with damaging himself. He has implicated Lord PAL➢MERSTON in the scrape, by declaring that he had received Lord CANN/Meg letter, and con sulted his former leader, who concurred in its very improper suppression. The matter is really assuming a grave aspect. We should not like to style it a conspiracy, but there is a total absence of fair play and all the proprieties of civilised life. It is what might be expected from a sharp practitioner —one ready to take any dirty advan tage—but what any gentleman of standing and position would hesitate to do ! Mr. SMITR, fortunately for England and fir India, not at present of Cannon-Row, admitted that he was aware that Lord CANNING wrote the letter under the impression that he—Small—was still President of the India Board, and would simultaneously receive the letter and the procla mation. The most obtuse dunderhead could not ignore that fact. The very words of Lord Carr rnmes letter indicated it clearly and distinctly. - It was not to Mr. SMITR, but to the Ainister for the time being; and, even if there were any secrets in the missive, it was an impera tive duty to communicate at least the paragraph in question to his successor in office. It was couched in the following terms ;—" I intend to issue a proclamation to the talookdars and land )wners of Oude, which will reach you officially by the mail. I had hoped to have accompanied it with a full explanatory despatch, but more urgent business has prevented me from doing so from hour to hour." This proved beyond the possibility of doubt or difficulty, that an explanation was required, and that it would be given on a future occasion. chat might have induced Lord ELLENBOROUGH to pause, so far at least as the publication of the despatch was concerned. But that opportunity was lost by the misconduct of Mr. SMITH, who had the letter on the 17th of April, and sup pressed it until after the departure of the mail on the 26th. We deeply regret the resignation of Lord ELLENBOUOUGI. He was unquestionably " the right man iu the right place," and we believe that the publication of his admirable despatch is calculated to restore peace and tranquillity in India, and greatly to reduce the expenses and difficulties of the contest. It was an act of chivalrous self-sacrifice on his part that induced him to tender his resignation, and to do so without any communication with his coadjutors. Had he consulted them they would, as we have heard from the Chau 3ellor of the Enhequer, have unanimously requested the withdrawal of that resigna qcon. They would have supported him to the last ; and we believe that the results in India will, ere long, show the propriety of such a course. [t is the all but universal confiscation of the soil, he barefaced robbery indicated, that was calcu- .atsd to encita the people to madness. It is remarkable that not one of the PA.LUER -1/7070 organs have ventured to defend Mr. SMITE'. His statements, which produced derisive cheers from all parts of the House, could not be defen de d by Times, P es t, or Advertiser, and the remarka ble silence of th ese j o ur na l s is r eally a stronger corn meat on his folly, than the most severe censure by an opponant. His party are thoroughly ashamed of him, and with good and sufficient cause. Mr. CARDWELL still perseveres in his motion. The bishop-making E4rl will also address the House of Peers in support of the Sabbath-day con spiracy. It might have been supposed that the resignation of Lord ELLFINBOROUCIZE would have fully atoned for any indiscretion respecting the publication of a despatch which no one has dared to impeach, and which, we have no hesitation in asserting, did equal honour to his head and heart. It was calculated to allay the apprehensions not only of eminent parsons, but of those who con sidered that they were acting for their King and country, and who certainly could not fairly be classified with mutineers and murderers—men unfaithful to their salt, or the rabid foes of hu manity, ready to stain their hands in innocent blood under circumstances of the utmost atrocity. Lord CANNING, who had, in the first instance, been wanting in firmness—who might almost have been regarded as a sympathiser with Sepoyism —after wards fell into the op posite extreme, and it was the duty of the Home G overnme nt, and more espe cially of the P res id en t of the India Board, to check him in his perilous career. It would, Jideed, strange if her Majesty's constitu tional advisers might not even suggest to one of their servants a more temperate course than he was inclined to pursue might not even hint that justice 'should be tempered with mercy, or that leniency might prevail in deciding on the case brought under consideration. Were it otherwise, a colonial governor would be constituted a despot, an absolute autocrat, with unlimited authority. We s fearlessly say that no consistent Liberal can sup port Mr. CARDWELL' s motion—can assist in establishing a dictatorship of one of the most tlmroughgoing Tories in either House of Parlia ment. Let them, before doing so, look to Lord PALMERSTON'S antecedents, and remember how greatly he has impeded the progress of reform. Although a measure was promised, no inkling of its provisions was suffered to leak out ; and it was accidentally discovered that no bill was pre pared, or even in course of preparation. Some excuse for delay and procrastina tion would have been discovered, and the real Liberals, who were treated with con tumely and insult, would still have seen the mea sures, on which they had set their hearts, disre garded and set aside, while the Whigs were obtaining their support under false and fraudulent pretences. Since Lord DERBY'S accession to power every thing that could be anticipated has been achieved. In Foreign affairs we have seen the national honour vindicated, the Conspiracy Bill aban doned, the English engineers liberated, and corn pansation demanded, and Mr. Honaz restored to his friends. We have seen an admirable budget that elicited the admiration even of all the Palmerstonian journals. A just and humane Administration at the Home-office offers a well. founded hope of real reforms, and also of fair play to India. Who, then, will join the cry to restore Lord PALMERSTON ? Let Lord DERBY and his colleagues be fairly dealt with. Let them be judged according to their deserts. If they merit censure let them receive it, but let not the interests of India and of England be sacrificed to party feeling or factious proceedings. On the Bth of June Mr. BERKELEY IS to bring forward his motion for the Ballot. Now, there fore, is the time for reformers to bestir themselves. Whatever any of them may think of the merits of the CARDWELL resolution, of the CANNING Proclamation, and the ELLENBOROUGH Despatcb, all reformers quite understand that the Cambridge House Sunday movement is intended to supplant a Conservative Government by a Sham _Reform Government. To give us a Government which says, " I go, sir," but go not in place of one which has, indeed, often refused, "but afterwards repented, and went." In such a Government as the former Reformers can have no possible in terest. The latter has practically served their purpose far better. Reformers are, therefore, just now, practically independent. Thoy can appeal to the House, and they can canvass mem bers on real Reform questions ; and of all the questions which will test the sincerity of a mem ber's reform principles, there is none to be com pared with the Ballot. No other reform gives to every voter real independence. No other compels an appeal to the intelligence of the people ; in stead of the innumerable appeals now addressed to their fears for personal and family support, and also to much meaner motives. No other re form emancipates whole counties from the dicts tion of landlords, and would convert them from preserves for Whig and Tory political sport, to constituencies of men voting as free agents. We have often expressed our own opinion de cidedly on this point. Wo just now find i strongly corroborated by the testimony of "one of themselves,"* and we have taken pains to ascertain that the writer of this sensible and moderate, yet decided little pamphlet is really " one of themselves." He is a landowner, too, and has no sympathy, of course, with " destructive" Revolutionists and Red Republicans ; and we be lieve not overmuch with those who as a body rank are Radicals. He is, however, as opposed as we are to " organised shams," aad to oligarchy as suming the title of liberalism ; but especially as an honest yeoman his indignation turns against converting his own class into a part of the sham. " Electors who do not elect" are in his judgment a piece of political fraud, a legal fiction ; he would not, however, abolish this fiction, but convert it into a fact. He recognises as the present fact that "he and his class are really and truly political How," he adds, " must we detest the serfs." " franchise which should have been our boast, but is become the badge of our serfdom." He demands that the words "Independent Electors" should be no longer " ironical but true:" The county elector asserts, as we have so often done, that a Reform Bill without the Ballot might, and probably would, merely strengthen the hands of the aristocracy, by giving them greater num bers of dependent supporters. " We are promised a new Reform Bill. It seems then not out of place to enquire, before a now con stituency is called into existence, whether it is likely to be more independent than the old one. Under a specious appearance of liberal measures, the suffrage may be so extended as to intensify and augment the power that the great Lards already possess. " Imagine a 201. tenant-at-will chive I Our rulers do not object to increase the number of vo ters. Why should they They would increase by that means their own power. What they do object to is, to the voters being rendered independent. Ob ject ! did I say I They view such a propokal with the utmost consternation, and will never yield the power they possess over the electors,—if they can help it. They look upon that power as much their own, as the broad acres that have ma le them what they are. It is probably dearer ti them than any other possession ; they will never willingly re linquish it ; and we have no hope of redtess, but in our own firmness and resolution to be free. The ballot alone will make us really independent in the exercise of our franchise, and it is upon the ballot that we should concentrate our efforts. It is indeed much more important to us, than to borough elec tors ; it is indispensable to for without it we shall soon be politically extinct ; the specious form of an election will not be wanting it is true ; but the nominees of the oligarchy will be returned to Parliament in our name, and we shall continue to be insulted by beiur , told that they aro our repre sentatives." We earnestly commend this little tract for gene ral circulation ; circulation in the counties especi ally. There is a tone of moderation combined with decision, of simplicity, of truthfulness in it, which will make it tell with a large class. The class to whom the writer belongs will certainly feel its truth ; cannot even they be got, for once, to make an eff)r t for their own emancipation? The Bth of June is approaching. Why cannot county electors throw oft their fetters for once, and sign a Petition of Rights—of the Right of Electoral In dependence at least—.to the House of Commons. If but one county would, more others would speedily follow. The effect would be irresistible. Whigs and Tories would see that the hope of plies and power was gone, unless Liberty of Election were conceded, and all the aristocratic candidates would loudly profess that they wished the people to be free, and did not know that they wore not so. We hope "County Electors" will respond to the appeal of " one of themselves," by numerous petitions before the Bth of June. * A FEW WORDS TO COUNTY ELRCICORS ; by One of Themselves." London :J. R. 14)vogrvve, Motcombe- Etrtet, 1858. EXTRAORDINARY STATEMENT BY 1 1 L NICEST NEWS MR. VERNON SMITH. We have at last the true account of the letter from Lord Canning, which Mr. Smith has sup pressed, and it differs strangely from all that we have heard upon this subject from Lords Granville and Lansdowne. Lord Canning sent home the famous procla mation with a despatch and a private letter,—ad dressed to Mr. Vernon Smith, as President of the Board of Control. In this letter Lord Canning stated that he was anxious to give further explanations about the proclamation, but that he was forced to postpone them to some future time. What did this in fact mean ? Why, naturally, Lord Canning, supposing that he was writing to his official chief, intended to say, "My despatch is an incomplete defence of my procla mation, and judging of. it by what you know officially, I dare say you will condemn it ; but I have explanations to give, which will modify your opinion ; wait till you are in possession of them. I have not time to give them to-day." Now, will any onedenythat, if Lord Ellenborough had received such a request from the Governor- General his conduct would have been very diffe-. rent ? Perhaps he would have abstained from judging the Proclamation, until Lord Can ning's explanations had arrived ; probably, if he had expressed any official opinion upon it, he would have done so in more measured terms ; certainly, he would never have published hia cele brated reply. Thus, then, in all its most important bearings, the course of Lord Ellenborough has been affected by the suppression of Lord Canning's letter to Mr. Smith, and as we are now told that Lord Palmerston advised its suppression, we can only look upon the whole business as an in- trigue to lay a trap for Lord Ellenborougb, by keeping him in ignorance of Lord Canning's most important communications.

On February 2211, wind westerly, brisk gale with snow squalls, at 10.33 a.m., iu a clear between the squalls, I fancied I saw land to the southward ; took in studding-sails, shortened sail, and stood towards it. At 1.30 p.m. hove to abreast the island, in the centre, bearing S.S. W., about 12 miles ; lowered a lifeboat, and sent her to the land. I afterwards stood in to about nine miles off shore, and got no ground with 120 fathoms of line. The island appeared to be in a S.E. and N. W. direction, about 25 miles, its southern extreme trending to the S.W. forming a deep bight on its western side, which was entirely snow-clad, and gave it the appearance of a great barrier of ice. The greater part of the whole island was covered with snow ; there was a remarkable group of high rocks lying off to the N.E. from the S.E. part of the island, apparently six or seven miles, and on the N. W. extreme an iceberg aground. The island was cloud-capped, but I think that its greatest eleva tion could not be less than 450 feet abeve the level of the sea. White hove to, awaiting our boat's re turn, I was astonished to see vessels at anchor in a bay, we having opened it through drifting to the S.E. One of them got under way and stood to wards it ; it proved to be the American sct:ooner Oxford, of Fairhaven. They put our a boat, and the roaster came on board ; he told me they called it Kurds Island, and that it was discovered by them 18 months before. Ho seemed auneyed that my boat had landed, and advised me to go and leave her behind, s tying she would never return ; but I told hint I would never leave her while 1 had another boat to seek for her. I was very anxious, for it was then sundown, and darkness com'ng on fast ; but while speaking the lookout at the mast head reported the boat in sight. He then became more communicative, and told me they were after oil ; that the shores of the island swarmed with sea elephants ; and that they had sent to America from the island since the discovery 25,000 barrels of oil. The island was bold on the N.B. side, and no hidden dangers ; and the bay where they lay was a fine bay or na tural harbour with good anchorage ; no sunken dangers, with 12 to 20 fathoms all over, and sheltered from all winds except a north-easterly, with a fine river of fresh water at the head of it. He also told me that there was another island west of Kurds, distance some 30 miles, and another E.S.E. 70 miles, both of which he had seen, but never lauded on. My own officers that were in the boat confirmed his statement of the sea elephants, and the island being well watered ; there are pen guins and other birds in myriads, and on an island about a mile apart from the main appeared to be a great mound of guano. While lying to I went to look at my abstract, and it made me shudder to think that only twelve months be fore I ran past the island at midnight in a heavy gale of wind, not more than four or five miles distant, ignorant of its existence. My greatest wish ou sending my beat to the island was to find out if there were any shipwrecked persons on it whom I might relieve. I send, enclosed with this, a sketch of the island, in the execution of which I was very much assisted by one of the passengers. It was entirely of volcanic origin, my six officers having found the sur:ace ashes and stones, like the specimen enclosed. I made the northern extreme of the island in lat. 53 1.

In the London-road, Southwark, a Mr. Warner, a fancy bird importer, had suspended out side his premises a great number of cages containing birds. Such was the force of the wind that the cages were driven oil their hooks, and being very light were carried higher than the housetops, striking in their progress and demo lishing winduw-glass in ens or two of the houses near. In the Borough-road and the contiguous streets considerable damage was done. At 35, Union-street the wind blow a row of windows from one side of the shop through another into Little Surrey-street.
