To which are s.dded remarks on the wonders of the Microscope in revealing the hidden mysteries "of Life within Life," and its advantages in detecting, by urinary examination, the cause and effect of every variety of these complaints, with numerous engravings and cases. BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall. London, &c., • The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con ‘equeneeeresulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, hich have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man eokand premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any ther class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is Particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the itnalth, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is eititleo„ it I. absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated with oat incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc ceed the heyday of incousiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, hat there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

A delightful enterprise has just been inaugurated by the Mes-rs. Blackwood, iu the shape of a littl e serial publication. It is nothing less than the commencement of a Sixpenny monthly reprint of—.. Stories from- their famous Magazine. The initial number is significative. Having it in our hands, we can now judge of the work expede Pumilionem. For the book, or rather brochure, is the veriest literary dandiprat—just the thing to be dropt into a lady's reticule or into the pocket of a paletot. The pleasantest of railway companions—none the less so from the type being of the clearest, and of a size disproportionably large as contrasted with the superficial area of the pages. No. 1 leads off gloriously with Professor Aytoun's inimitable bubble skit relating " How we got up the Glen mutchin Railway, and How we got oat of it." A memorable satire timeously issued in the October number of Maga for 1845—and which was to Black wood what a certain notable leader in that same year was to .the Times. Besides this delectable record of the speculative exploit of Augustus Reginald Dunshunner, Esquire, and of his many rare associates, or rather accomplices —convictions among them, the Captain of M'Alcohol and the Factor of Glentumbler—there are two other Tales of Ebony he - e unfolded. To wit, " The Floating Beacon," and " Vanderdec ken." As to Vanderdecken's voyage Home, or the Tenacity of Natural Affection—though it in directly or incidentally tells the popular legend of The Flying Dutchman. and is necessarily therefore in a great measure enthralling—it comes to a close, to our thinking, at once abruptly and vapidly. There is—nothing in it. " The Floating Beacon" is a far worthier pendant in its pathetic interest to the sparkling humours and drolleries of the rise and fall of the Bubble Company of Glenmutchkin, a scheme by the way to be treasured up in remem brance with our recollection of the Bundlecund Bank anclthe Anglo-Bangalee Insurance AsSocia tion. We don't know any serial reprint of this kind that could possibly be morn acceptable than "Tales from Blackwood." It is a republication moreover, that may be safely adventured upon with an eye to its continuance—fol are not the freshness, and the vivacity, and the vigour of Maga peren nial ? Let the last number be our answer to this inquiry —the number for Apri, 1858, in which, be sides other varied and sparkling contributions, have we not the eleventh masterly instalment of Balwer's " What will he do with it ?" incomparably the finest fragment of that great romance yet pub lished—and immediately before that latest effuson of the genius of our master-novelist, one of the most gay, exhilirating, delightful humourous essays we can for a very hang while past call to our recol lection. We mean, of course, " A Few Words on Social Philosophy, by one who is no Philosopher." We don't know who may be the author of this paper—whether his name be known or unknown— whether he be a young contributor, or an old con tributor. All we know is that the paper is from first to last quite delightful. A piece of written and printed fun to be relished in every sentence — occasionally to be roared over " consumedly." Such, in the very last number, is Ebony—among whose unknown writers may be classed such an oie a+ this quaint Abderunian Philosopher—among whose well-known writers may be enumerated men like Bulwer, and Aytoun, and Warren, and Alison, can cceteris, though we can hardly add paribus. A cordial All hail, then , to number one of the re printed " Tales from Blackwood." NrEIVS PAPER iwyc Iz. Commerce suffers sally from the -delay w annually occurs in the publication of he Etiageti*" .. , the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Intiteadlif beips one of the first questions brought before the con sideration of the House of Commons, the first quarter of the session is generally almost exhausted before his intentions ate declared, and co:a•equently all branches of trade continue in a state of pars]ysi s , as none of - them know what alter ratio - is may take place in the tariff. At Cie pia ! seat moment the public are in a state of uncer tainty as to whether the deficiency in the revenue is to be made up by a loan, or by the imposition-of additional taxes. Many persons . s=!em'to think, and not without good reas-p, that the former course will be adopted, any change in - duties being isthought, simply confined to whisliey, the d u ty o n whi c h, it will be equalised over the -three king doms—i. g c., that th e Irish duty' of 49. 2d. per proofgal gall Cl will a b l e lo r n a . ised si t m o u t la su heE e t h ig!ish duty of Bs. per proof a course be adopted, we greatly question its propriety, as the of grain continues to decline, the inducement to smuggle will be enormously increased, so much so, that we fear all the additional checks put upon it will be ineffectual towards its prevention. It appears to us, as we have stated 'on former occa sions, that, in-tend of raising the Irish duty, the most prudent course would be to lower the English duty to Gs. per proof gallon, fixing this as the rate for the United Kingdom. The effect of this re duction of 2s. per gallon, in England and Scat land, would be to increase the consumption immensely, especially in England, where whiskey is now comparatively little used owing to the high rate of duty. The revenue would, in a short time, as a matter of course, be augmented to an impor tant extent, thus assisting the Chancellor mate rially in making up his deficit ; and as all additional means, we would propose the imposition of a f actional mileage-tax on railway travellers, which, even were it at the rate of only one farthing per mile, would bring in millions alditional Oahe in journal. .N°. 20,5.20.)

Four hundred men are ordered to be dismissed from the Royal car riage department during the present month, 50 labourers from the military store department, and a corresponding number from the Laboratory and gun and shell factories. A series of experiments has been carried on since the opening of the new standard iron gun factory, in which a number of guns have been cast from a fusion of various foreign and British scraps of iron. The result ob tained up to the present moment has failed in pro ducing the complete success anticipated. The temper of the metal has in each case offered so much resistance under the machinery that the pro cess of turning and boringcould not be accomplished, and several have broken under the attempt. The guns, on being removed from the casting mould, presented the appearance of being perfect. They will now be broken up and recast, with a due ad mixture of other metals, so as to soften the sub stance. Orders were received yesterday by Colonel H. Eyre, the'Cotninandant at Chatham, directing that reinforcements of officers and men for - the Bth (the King's) and 19th Regiments are to be held in readi ness to embark on board the East India Company's steamer Asia for Calcutta.

The crew of the Formidable, 81 guns, at Sheer ness, were paid off from that ship yesterday, and transferred to the Royal George, under the com mand of Captain-Superintendent John 0. Fitz gerald. A portion of the crew were granted leave of absence. Her Majesty's store transport Dee, Thomas C.

Here they were joined by his Royal Highness Prince Alfred, who has taken much interest in witnessing the gunboat experi ments in housing, launching, &c. Mr. Humphreys, of the firm of Humphreys and Tennant, of Dept ford, who manufactured the machinery in use at this stupendous new establishment at Haslar, ar rived from London with the Board of Admiralty to point out the character and capabilities of the ap paratus, and superintend the working for the Board's inspection. Their Lordships ordered that a traversing cradle should be pushed up under a gunboat, the vessel blocked on it, then drawn down by the endless screw (before described) on to the transverse rails ; the locomotive was then started and drove it to the launching slip, when the endle , :s screw was again brought into operation and the gunboat forced ou the launching cradle to the water's edge—a pro cess which only occupied the small space of 35 minutes. She was then returned to her place in the shed in the same mannEr. The First Lord made minute inquiries into the procedure, as the question of speedy gunboat preparation for service is the end iu view in making these experitnente The Board remained at the gunboat ground, with Prince Alfred, about one hour and a half ; after which they proceeded to the Royal Marine Light Infantry head-quarters at Forton to inspect the premises and water supply, which, it will be re membered, was corrupted so seriously some short time since as to lead to much sickness and several deaths. From Forton their lordships returned to the dockyard and transacted other business, and finally to the George Hotel. Sir George Seymour, K.C.8., entertained them in tt.e evening at the Admiralty-house. The Osborne, Admiralty steam yacht, Master Commander Bowes, left Portsmouth on Wednes day for Lisbon on " particular service." The Termagant, 24, seam frigate, was docked on Wednesday at Portsmouth for repairs. The Blenheim, GO, Captain F.

RAREY, THE HORSE-TAMAR. The two following letters from Lord Dorchester, the owner of Cruiser, certify the effect of Mr. Rarey's method upon that hitherto untamed ani mal. We can add our own testimony to that of the owner, having witnessed the complete sub jugation of the horse, which has been converted in the course of a few days from a state of savage ferocity to the ordinary condition of a thorough bred stbdlion " Greywell, April 3. "Cruiser, by Venison, dam by Little Red Rover, was bred by me in 1852, an d I cons id er hi m to hav e been vicious from a foal; he was always trouble some to handle, and showed temper on every oppor tunity. On his road here from Danebury he went on his knees, and tore the ground up with his teeth: I have seen him lean against the wall of his box, and kick. and scream for ten minutes together. In 1855 the Rawcliffe Stud Company and myself en tered into an agreement respecting him, by which they were enabled to purelia-43 the half of him on _ reasonable terms, provided they liked his stock ; but, notwithstanding the Litter were much ad mired, I was requested to remove him after the se ccnd season, his savage propensities rendering the care of him too dangerous an office for any man in their employ. I was assured by the manager of the Rawcliffe Stud that for days be would allow no one to enter his box, and on one occasion tore an iron bar, one inch thick, in two with his teeth. If Mr. Rarey can tame him I feel cerain no home can withstand his art. " DORCHESTER." Grey well, April 7. Having received instructions from Mr. Rarey in horse-taming, I have much pleasure in adding my testimony to that of others respecting the mar vellous facility with which he sub Ines a horse of any age or temper, broken or not, and without the slightest injury to the animal or risk to man or horse. Mr. Rarey, when here, first subjugated a two-year old filly, perfectly unbroken. This he accomplished under half an hour, riding on her, ' opening an umbrella, beating a drum upon he”, Arc. He then took Cruiser in hand, and in three hours Mr. Rarey and myself mounted him. He had not been ri3den for nearly three years, and was so vicious that it was impossible even to dress him, and it was necessary to keep hi m muzz l e d con:tautly. The following morning Mr. Rarey led him behind an open carriage, on his road to London. This horse was re'urned to me by the Ratcliffe Stud Company on account of his vice, it being considered as much as a man's life was worth to attend to him. When it is taken into consi det ation what this animal was, and what he is now, it must be apparent to all proprietors of horses that they should obtain the knowledge that ena bles them to obtain the mastery over any horse in half an hour, and without danger to either patty. 4 'DORCHESTER." LORD NORM .4 NB Y. (From the Tintes.) Lord Normanby has addressed to this journal a few lines from Florence, in which he wishes us to give publicity to the fact that he is in no wise dis qualified, either by age or infirmity, for the dis charge-of the duties of his late office. The ques tion of age is one purely of fact, and when Lord Normanby writes to inform the British public, through our columns, that he is fourteen years younger than Lnrd Palmerston, and but two years older than Lord Derby, of course it is so, and there is an end of the matter. In the country of the blind the one-eyed man is king. We are glad, too, to hear that Lord Normanby is at present in the enjoyment of as good health as his friends— and he has many—could desire. We would ales cAll particular attention to his statement, that since " he has held this mission (at Florence) he has never been incapacitated a single day from the discharge of its duties." Now, although we believe that Lord Normanby is an entirely unfit person for the discharge of so serious a duty as that - of the representative of Great Brit .in in the Italian Pen insula—for such, in point of fact, the Tuscan En voy is, or should be—we should b 3 grieved indeed ti write a word which could give a moment's pain on personal grounds to so amiable aid deservedly popular a man. Considering what our Italian diplomacy has been for some time past, we thought we were adopting the more merciful supposition in presuming that the popular rumour which spoke of L:rd Normanby's failing strength was correct. The explanation invariably given of his Tuscan mission was that the real business was transacted at Vienna, and qua more orna mental duties at Florence. From his duties Lord Normanby tells us he firs never been absent, and his word is worthy of all respect. We may add with perfect sincerity, that when we compare our late representative in Tuscany with his successor we are heartily sorry that he has been displaced. By the side of Mr. Howard, Lord Normanby is a Richelieu or a Ta!leyrand. This, however, is the only ground on which his removal can be regretted ; for it is clear enough that with the turn things are now taking on the Continent of Europe, there should he a man of vigorous character, of firm will, and of keen intellect, to act as watchman for Eng land in the Italian Peninsula. This Tuscan mission has ever been treated as an armchair by the Foreign-office. The post is so agreeable—the city so pleasant—the works of art collected in it so in teresting, that there is really no spot on thenCcoann tinent of Europe where an elderly gentleman spend the autumn of his days more_ eonfttihre his edici. own satisfaction than at the capital ohme Roman With the Neapolitan mission cbaanceyi,leddi,plt mission non-existing, and Lombardy, not an idle farce, we ought to be speaking, a blank, it is obvious b t e b t a t t e i r f roa d rp ip rh l ea o s Te m en a t c be diplomacy bee eatn the Court of T public grounds; usca t D o Y co t n h s a i n de W :t al :uest:on as one • should be happy to bear for some time past. This we . say the if we private•e were relations, fact t witness to the i w ia e t a more courteous gentle • man than Lord Normanby wa s never engaged in t h e service of t the country. 1 1 Th e following is the letter alluded to above : « Sir, —As I see in an article of the 27th of March you again allude to my supposed disqualifications on account of advanced ago and infirmities, I am sure you will be glad to hear that, although I bad a severe attack of illness, attributed to overwork and anxiety of mind, soon after my return from Paris, I am now in the enjoyment of perfect health ; and during the three years and a half I have held this mission I have never been incapacitated a single day from the discharge of all its duties. had I at any time been in the state you give the public to suppose, I neither would have accepted nor retained the appointment. " As to age, I am 14 years younger than the late Premier, who certainly shows no signs of ago, and only two years older than his successor. So much upon a mere matter of fact ; ycu will not of course expect that T should enter with you into any of the other topics treatel in that article. I limit myself the exclusively to the request that you will same publicity to this letter as to your e o r: g i r a i in e e c o h u lt s . statement upon a point of a purely personal P a ° tt r a s ok in fair racter, not usually made a subject siixer;;:it, political warfare.—l am, 1 " Florence, April 2.". ... sir, youro,ol= THE NATAL ERZ - GAD/4 IN INDIA. The Rev. E. A. Williams, chaplain of the Naval Brigade in India, writes to a contemporary as follows : " Sir,—As the Indian question is at the present a source of so much interest at home and abroad, I send you a brief account of the movements of the Naval Brigade of her Majesty's ship Pearl since the defeat of the rebels at Solunpore on the 26th of December last, to which their rifles and four howitzers mainly contributed. The force under the Command of Colonel Rowcroft, consisting of two regiments of Goorkhas, and the Naval Brigade under the command of Captain Sotheby, R.N., has for some weeks been in the district of Go ruckpore. In the vicinity of some villages it hai been found necessity to halt for a few days, either to make arrangements for the preserva tion of peace for the future, or to give confidence to the people who are friendly in the district, or to awe into respect those who are the reverse, by showing them that our power is again re established, or to search for the persons and pro perty of well-known and decided rebels. At Sulem pore, Burhul, Pyena, and a village near Burling, the houses of some of the most influential zemindars and men of property were destroyed. This serves not merely as a punishment to the delinquents, but as a warning also to others. This will, no doubt, apr ear a barbarous method of carrying on warfare, but it is adopted in this country by the advice and on the judgment of those who know the character of the natives best. The deed of demolition seems to have a great effect on the minds of the natives by impressing them with a sense of our power ; and to desist from so treating the houses and property of offenders appears to have this evil effect, that they begin to regard such mercy as fear, and as a tacit acknowledgment that we have some secret dread of the offenders, thus allowing that they have not yet learn'l to consider such lenity as proceeding from the humane and just notions of civilised cations. It is to be hoped that they will not entertain a similar feeling with regard to the respect which is shown to the temples in cities which may be stormed and taken. It is to be feared that they will not impute our desisting from carrying ruin into their shrines to our desire to in troduce a less barbarous system of warfare, and a humane and generous intention to show lenity to the vanquished, but to fear and a secret reverence for their gods ; and thus our caution not to hurt the feelings of the Hindoo is in danger of being in terpreted into respect and a feeling of awe for the deities themselves. At Suletnpore the house of Narail Dial Canoos goe was destroyed, and he was captured a few days afterwards. He was a very wealthy man, and had formerly been iu the employment of Government ; but when he went over to the side of the rebels he rendered them great service from his extensive knowledge of the financial resources of the dis trict ; in proportion to les services to the enemy his offence as a rebel became aggravated, and he consequently suffered the penalty which was his due. Slime days afterwards be was hanged at Roodurpore. On the 11th of January the whole force mareited from Mehra to Roodurpore, where we encamped for several days, while a search was being made for the person and property of the Rajah, who takes his title from the town. He has made himself very conspicuous on the side of the rebels ; his property was sought out and sold. About thirty thou , and rupees were found buried in different places, but he has not been caught. On the 27th of January the troops crossed the river Taptee, and on the 28th marched to Burhul. It would be very laborious and injudic;ous to carry out the burning principle in this neighbourhood, as there is some villages a general opposition to our rule, and therefore, instead of destroying indis criminately, this special favour is reserved for a few of the distinguished leaders of the rebellion. At Pyena, although it is reported to have contributed six or seven hundred rebels to Solumpore, yet only a few houses were destroyed. At Burling, although some of the people were killed in the same action, none were destroyed, and at Burhul only the house of the neighbouring Rajah has been pulled down. The house both of this Rajah and that at Roodur pore were complete fortifications ; tbat of the latter was surrounded by a loophooled wall and a belt of jungle, and that of the former was on a rising ground on the left Gogra, and having' a very com manding position on that river. The Naval Brigade is very soon likely to be employed in more active_ operations against the enemy. A large convey f,r of boats is now going up the river Gogra T roop :" a to t bridge for the passage of Jung Bahadonr'srobali the right bank . , in order to attack the , r twee tom Fyzabad. The brigade, with t panics of Goorkhas and 40 Sikhs, 'slumber) and ore tection to these boats ( ore%ifordiug pro bringing them up to Ga i g ' l l s l ° . t Trhere it is supposed General M`Gregor, that J ung's forces will ctorotsist: Goorkha force, could who is now attachedre efficient force than that of not have selected e ° „ on a naval officers to convey seamen under exper t v of boats to the scene of action. and protect a cobvo. , o f the rebels on the oppo.lite bank the o w ately known, but they are prepared The force river is not ac nmer gency, and the rifle with which they for every will have a wonderful advantage over , re a ll arms old Brown Bess and MAtchlook of the enemy if they s hould be so infatuated as to risk an attack. It is said that Jung Bahadoor is anxious to have some Europeans attached to his force, and he will no doubt find the British seamen and marines ready to dispute with him the right to the foremost ranks against an enemy stained as those are with such foul crimes. 4,516 0,480
