The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habit., irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, th an , perhaps, any other 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 health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitletl. It Is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are orineiples of personal management which cannot be violated with ut incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc ceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences maybe avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to whi c h th e t i mely a i d o f sc i enc e cannot appl y a cure.

But lam writing to save the mail." C' - ; THE DISTURBANCES IN BOSNIA, ALBANIA, &e. The following letter from a correspondent, ex plaining the causes of the insurrection which lately broke out in a part of Turkey in Europe appears in the Debats " Insurrectionary movements have just broken out in the south of the Herzegovine ; the disturb ances in Bosnia are far from being appeased ; and in Albania, notwithstanding the presence of large bodies of troops, the Porte appears to have obtained only a temporary tranquillity by making some con cessions to tbeinsurgent population. Everysithere the causes of these movements are. the same ; the transformation of the promises of the Hata i-huma yowl into new t-xes ; their colleetien eonfided.- to the persons who farm them, who exact double and triple what is du. , ; the difficulty of regulating the dues between the proprietors of fiefs and the Chris tian rayas ; and lastly, the arbitrary acts which '- everywhere take the place of the law—a sad stateof things, in countries where the masters are separated by religion and interest from the rest of the popula tion. 'ln the Horzegoviue the tribes of Bagnani and of lirouehewitce had entered into a convention with the Pacha of Mostar, in which they bound themselves, in exchange for the remission ef the taxes, to support the Paudours and the irregular troops established on their territories. Last year the troops were withdrawn, and, the convention being consequently at an end, these tribes had to pay the taxes of the year. The contraoters for these taxes, however, without taking into account the convention entered into with the Pacha, claimed the payment, not for ono year, but for five, for four of which the convention had lasted. The in habitants naturally refused to comply with that ex action, but they eagerly collected the sum due for the year, in order to send it to Mostar by chiefs who vsuu!d then be able to defend before the Pacha the into' ests of the tribes. At the moment of start iog, Loivever, every one hesitated to undertake the perilous mission ; they feared on their arri val, in the absence of any European consuls, an arrest, which, by del - riving the tribes of their cuiefs, would perhaps secure 0 the Turkish pretensions an immediate obedience. The money collected for the tax remained, therefore, in the hands of the tribes, no ono daring to carry it to Mostar. These tribes were then considered as rebels, and troops were sent against thorn. In another district, at Drobniak, a body of about 40) irregulars c Iranited all kinds of violence. The inhabitants supplicated the Pacha to withdraw these men • they o ff ered to support at their own expense, at Mostar, any number of host ages that the Papa might name, to be selected from the families of the chiefs; they protested their entire submis3iou, only asking for the withdrawal of those irregulars, and accepting beforehand any condition that the Paella might impose on that in return. The Paella would not consent to their request ; and the consequence was that at Drob niak, as well as among the neighbouring tribes of Piva and of Charansi, the people loot all hope of redress, and took up arms. List year a company of irregulars were besieged in their quarters, and, after a desperate resistance had been made, almost all perished. That act did not serve to open the eyes of the Turkish authorities, and, instead of tak ing the necessary measures to calm the agitation of the people, they confined themselves to miaowing the different posts. They are acting in the same manner nowe a battalion of the Nizam has been marched on Nikchitj, at a short distance from Drob nitik, and other troops on the town of Trebigne,• in the neighbourhood of which place commenced the movement of the Christian tribes of Zoupee, of Krouchewitoe, att4, •of Bag-omi. .21hier appear to have been "the conquerors in a Alit niarif - . The insurrection, therefore, will atteed, and the winter in those countries rendering the march of troops almost impracticable, the people will have every facility for organising a vigorous resistance." TBLEGRAPHIC COIIIMUNICATION WITH INDIA. (From tree Times' City Article.) The subjoined relates, to the question of a tele graph to India : " Red Sea Telegraph Company (Limited), 8, Moorgate-street, Jan. 14. " Sir,—The able review contained in your article of this morning on the state of telegraphic communication with India, appears indirectly to reflect upon the energy of the parties who have taken upon themselves the duty of active agency in the pro ecution of these onde* takings. S 3 far as the Red Sea Telegraph Company is concerned the inference is far from just. That company did all in their power, in August last, to enforce the view you ad vocate of tree policy and even economy of immediate action in laying down a telegraph in the Red Sea, for which the cable and the ships were then available. Un fortunately the Government did not attribute an import ance to the question such as it deserved, and the opportu nity then offered was lost. " The company, however, have never abated their exertions in the cause. They have addressed repeated repreeontations on the subject to the Government in all its appropriate departments. Tne times have been most unravonrable to the raising of capital for such undertakings, awl it could only have been effected under a guarantee of Government, such as they have nokbeen prepared to give. ' 7 The period has now arrived when both the Govern• ment and the public, as represented by your opinions of this day, must see more clearly the vital importance of this movement to the best interests of the country. " To prove to you that the Red Sea Companj have not been backward in perseveringly advocating these views, or in taking advantage of the improving prospects of the times, I enclose a copy of a letter, written by the chairman on the first day of the present year is the Court of Directors of the East India Company, which we assume to be still under consideration. " It is only righ), to add that the Bowel of Admiralty has, from the outset, been alive to the value of this project, and that her Majesty's steamer Cyclops WAS despatched so long ago as October last for the express purpose of surveying and sounding the Red Sea with a view to the submersion of a telegraph cable. " Under these circumstances the company hope shortly to be in a position to carry out an object which they agree with you in thinking has been far too long delayed. I remain, air , your obedient servant, " C. L. PEEL, "Secretary Red Sea Telegraph Company." " Red Sea Telegraph Company (Limited), 8, Moorgate-street, Jac. 1. Sir,—At the earnest request of those with whom I am asacnated in the prosecution of the Red Sea Tele. graph I beg you to submi', the following observations to the Hon. Court : • ICI Oa the 12th of September last I had the honour to receive a communication from you, inquiring whether - the Telegraph Comp any would ba prepared to undertake • the establish men t of telegraph c communication the _ whole way between Suez and Kurrachee within a year - from the date of the agreement which may be entered int o for the purpose, and upon what terms they would perform the work. On the 15th of September the secre tary submitted, on behalf of the company, our reply to this request, stating the conditions, which, at that time, were deemed necessary to enable us to raise capital and to commenca operations. " During the three months and a-half which-havC since elapsed, without any communication from the Lion. Court. we have hesitated to press the subject on their attention, partly from the state of commercial - affairs in England, and partly from a de,ire to avoid I:Articling at this juncture tf atia'rs in India. " Both these difficulties having triw been in a great measure alleviated, we can no longer neglect the re peated solicitations we are constantly receiving from Um supporters of the undertaking to bring the question to a . detinite issue. I would, therefore, a3k you, to submit to the Hon. Court our request to be favoured with an early reply on a subject of so much public interest and importance. ) " lam further requested to state the readiness of my colleagues to attend with me upon any convenient ocos•ion, h o ultl it be considered that a personsel_soolan. munication will tend to ex elite the decision of tfi / 1 . e _ Court, as to whether our tender will be accer o o d a • r _. m i a n n a d y i t :3 B , r titi Q t:h tu i the present : v n fie a t i tthoe f o sh r u m . a g altered t e o ' i.irt::;:ta:::snyamcooxf?

The following is a list of our killed in the charge on the guns : Brigadier-General Wilson, Major Stirling, Captain Morphy (Brigade Major), Acting Quartermas General Captain 111‘Crea, Lieutenants Mackinnon, Gibbous (52d), and some officers attached to Vie 64th. All the others were officers of the 64th. You will see by the proportion that the officers must have been picked off, for all the staff were killed. The grape was fired atus when we were no more than 20 yards from the guns. The other day the Rifle Brigade captured and brought in two large guns. You may not get this letter by this mail, as the road to Calcutta is stopped up. I don't think we, in the trenches, will have any field fighting again, as we are all so knocked up, and require rest. Well, I must finish, so believe me, my dear father, your affectionate son, "A-- C--" The following letter is from Captain Spurgin, the tried - friend of Neill - throughout his Burmese campaigns, the military commander of the first armed steamer which ascended the Ganges above Allababacl, the officer whom Havelock recommended for a Majority : " CITY OF LUCKNOW, OCT. 3. "It is much I have to be thankful for. It is almost impossible to describe. God has indeed been merciful to me ; and your prayers and mine must have indeed been listened to. From the 9th hour of the morning of September 25 until 10 o'clock at night the whole force was under a blaze of fire, every inoh of the road disputed ; and, as our casualties will show, a sad loss we have sustained. Instead of affording any. great relief to this unft,r tuuate garrison of Lucknow, as I am writing one week after our entrance, we are almost as badly ff as the garrison ; cut off from our baggage ; no c .m -munication with Cawripore, and with few supplies left ; daily fighting, daily I. ss. "My poor good friend General Neill fell almost the last shot that was fired on the 25th ult. I was close to him. A wretched man shot him from the top of a house. He never spoke again, and could not have suffered a moment's pain. Thera was a gun between us at the time, but I got round and saved his body by carrying it into the entrenched eimp on a gun carriage, and it was buried by his own regiment the next day. I am now attached to Brigadier Stisted, who succeeds t the command of the Ist Brigad', My poor friend Arnold has lost his leg, and is in a dangerous state. Poor Bliley is badly wounded, au I I fear the spine is touched, f.r he has 10-t the use of his arms ; and a frightful number 6f the men, and sergeants—nearly one hundred. Poor Pakeuhare, too, was killed early in the day, and many many other friends whom you did not know. When it will be over nob° iy can tell. And the risks and the chances of each day make it sad to think tf. _ _ _ "And now I have to tell you of the loss of my poor boy. What has become of hint I know not ; but Ile must have been killed on that dread ful night. I did not want him to con?, hut ho said ye', he would come with me, and was afraid to stay behind when the baggage was left. All the other Coolies, and horsekeepHs, tire., got in Tdely ; but tha rebels followed up our rear FO elt , Sly that they cot off our sick and wounded, and at ono time our heavy gun?. The latter were recovered the next morning, but they burnt our wounded as they were in their doolies, and the bearers they either killel or pressed, into their service to give information. Picture the horrors of that night for the poor wounded. Arnold, Bailey, and many others, all left till the next morning, until a regiment could go. back and find them. Arnold wag shot a second time in the same kg whilst in his dooly. It is use loss to tell you of my hair-breadth eacapes on that day, for everyone had the same. "We are now living in a part of the Palace of Luckno tv, but such a scene of filth, mixed up with costly things, it is ircpcsiible to imagine. The finest china of the latest pattern from Bond-street, or some other fashionable trade - spopk, used by the soldiers of the force, coAboy3, or any oue. Cook ( boys sitting on datnask stools c - o4.ing the men's dinner s ; shawls and ornaments all kicking about, no one being at the trouble to carry them for want of means ; and. all this mixed up with dead bodies of Sepoys, horses, camels, until the st-nch Is so great we can scarcely sit—and no one to move all this filth. The men are all fighting, clearing the town, and the natives, with their abominable caste, refusing to touch a-single thing. " I - went 'to see - Mrs. the morning.afaar I got in, and was truly thankful to find her alive and well with a dear little child. Her friends at Madras bad heard she was dead. She was so glad to see me, and good old Neill had brought a box of all kinds of things for the ladies, such as arrow-root, sago, candles, &c., &c., and some wine, all of which I had the great pleasure of distributing. And, fancy, the dear old regiment had subscribed at Cawnpore for the same good purpose : but their box has not yet come up with the heavy baggage, and I much fear the whole of the baggage has fallen into the rebels' hands, for we were obliged to leave it about fur miles from Lucknow, and. we have not heard. of it since. The poor ladies expected to have left for Cawnpore immediately after our arrival, and that was the intention ; but now it is as much as we can do to guard them here. "I have also seen the —, or, rather, --, for the poor woman has lately been confined, and her little baby died. two days ago. All the ladies are living in little holes ; Mrs. has about six feet square for herself, nurse, and. child ; and they wore all in daily fear of being blown up by these wretched rebels, who have mined underneatk the garrison in all directions." To day the ,first of our extracts from private Indian letters gives good reason to hope for the safety of Benares. It is from a letter of the Rev. James Kennedy, dated Benares, Dec. 5, 1857 "All is quiet at Jaunpore. The Oude rebels have not followed the Goorkhas, as it was supposed they would have done. They remain en the &ea ger. This is rather strange, considering their strength, and the encouragement to advance by the retirement of the Goorkhas. This backward move of our allies is said to have excited is our enemies the suspicion that we were laying a trap for them, and therefore they fear to c ome on. Long may their fear tontine . There are now at Jaunpore 500 European soldiers, 500 Madras Sepoys, and 2,000 Goorkhas, with artillery—a force deemed sufficient to meet any force coming from Oude. We have no reason fur apprehension at Benares. If you see any statement to the contrary, you may for once safely disbelieve it. I have seen in Calcutta newspapers statements about our danger, which have no foundation in fact, or rather no foundation equal to their support. The order for the forma tion of an army here is suspended, partly, I believe, because the authorities are satisfied that the danger of Benares being attacked from Oude has been greatly overrated, and they deem the force at Jaun pore quite sufficient for our defence (we always have here a garrison of 300 or 400 men), and partly be cause the demand for troops further up the country is very urgent. As English soldiers are passing through daily, in the event of any emergency n large body may be very soon concentrated in this city." " The following letter is from an intelligent resi dent in Calcutta : "CALCUTTA, Dec 11. " Matters are looking up with us, though only through the indomitable courage of the glorious English soldier.

Yesterday afternoon, the adjourned meeting of dele gates, comprising some of the most influential clergymen, churchwardens, &c., of the metropolis, was held at the Chambers of the Society for the Suppression of Vice, No. 57, Lincoln's Inn:fields, for the purpose of further considering the state of different parts of the metropolis in reference to the flagrant exhibitions of street profligacy that nightly disgrace the streets at the West-end of the town. Mr. JAMES BEAUMONT having been called to the chair, expressed hie pleasure at, seeing the great interest that this movement had occasioned, for he felt it must lead to some practical result. He felt that the Government would do something in the cage, when it was found that there was such a - universal feeling in favour of the movement. After a few remarks from Mr. Churchwarden CRANE and Mr. STEVENS, of St. James's, Piccadilly, Sir J. J. liamthiorr (Crown churchwarden of Mary -1.3b0t e), bore testimony to the willingness of the vestry of Marylebone to support this or any movement that had for its objtot the suppression of prostitution, or any other vice. Mr. War. ACTON then said he thought they should proceed to something practical. In dealing with this question he thought that they should have a knowledge of the condition of the women. The result of investiga tion had shown thnt one in 13 or 14 of the adult female population were living in prostitution. They must be informed that their condition was known. What this society intended to do was to improve their moral and physie%l condition and The appearance of the streets. His opinion was that there was sufficient legislation without going to the Government, and they should show these women that there is a law, and Oat it would be carried out against them to the very letter. In conclnsion he moved the following reso lution :—" That a deputation do wait as early as possible upon Sir George Grey, for the purpose of most respectfully but earnestly representing to her Majesty's Government the necessity of effectual measures being taken to put down the open exhibition of street prosti tution, which in various parts of the metropolis, particularly in the important thoroughfares of the Haymarket, Coventry-street, Regent-street, Portland place, and other adjacent localities, is carried on with a disregard of public decency, and to an extent tolerated in no other capital or city of the civilised world." The Rev. Mr. BYRNE (St. James's) briefly seconded the motion. Some dii , cussion ensued, in which the Rev. Mr. KEMP (rector of St. Pancras) said he had prepared a resolution which he should like to be submitted to the tneeting,and it was arranged that it should be taken as the third motion. The Rev. Professor MARKS (Marylebone) suggested that if a deputation was appointed, the number of gentlemen from each parish should be limited to three. The motion was then put and carried unanimously. Mr. STEVENS (St. James's) then moved, " That such deputation be instructed to urge upon her Majesty's Government the following measures, whereby it is believed that the evil complained of may be effectually controlled :-Ist, the enforcement, upon a systematic plan, by means of a department of the police specially appointed and in , tructed for that purpose, of the provi sions of the 2d and 3.1 Vict., cap, 47, in reference to street profligacy ; 2d, for passing an act for licensing and placing under proper regulations, as to supervision, the hours of closing all houses of entertainment, it being a matt , r of public notoriety that hiiuses of this descrip • tam popularly known as night houses, have, by hi= coming the places of resort for cro ids of idle and disorderly persons at all hours of the night, greatly contributed to the present disgraceful state of thine." The Rev. Mr. MAIILE seconded the motion, and The Rev. T. GAHM.= (farylebone) having briefly supported it, drew a vivid picture of the condition of the streets of the metropolis, and urging the necessity for an alteration of the law, the motion was put aid carried. Mr. GREBNE (late M.P. for Lancaster) then proposed the resolution submitted by the rector of St. James's— " That this meeting, understanding that a meeting of delegates from the metropolitan vestries is to be held to morrow at St. James's ♦estry•room, desires to express its cordial sympathy with the object of that meeting— viz , due control of the night houses, the removal of the public scandal in the metropolis, and to tender any support and co-operation which it may be in its power to give for the furtherance of that object, sad that this resolution be communicated to the chairman of that meeting." Tho Rev, Mr. TEIOROLD seconeed, and the motion was carried. 'rhe Rev. Professor MARKS, after some general ob servations, referred most warmly to the subject of the importation of foreign girls to this country tor immoral purposes. He moved, "That the attention of the' Government be also directed to the great numbers of foreign females systematically imported into this country, and to the means of controlling this increasing evil." Sir 3. J. HAMILTON briefly seconde I the motion, which was also unanimously agreod to. The usual cimplimentary vote having been passed to the chairman, the meeting adjourned. occasions during Mrs. Sager's absence from home, and during those different periods she had slept perhaps 30 times at the workhouse ; but she denied sleeping on any of these occasions with Sager, or ever having improper intercourse with him except in the presence of his wife. She also stated that she had seen Martha Wadsworth (a married sister of the deceased), sleep with Sager and his wife. Witness was asked-if she had ever slept with Sager at Mrs. Stocker's, which she denied, but after wards admitted that she had once done so, and stated that Sager slept with her and Mrs. Stocker on thatocca sion, Mr. Stocker being absent in Lancashire. Martha Wadsworth denied most distinctly that she had ever slept with the prisoner and his wife. Some other witnesses were called, but their evidence contained nothing of great importance that was not elicited at previous stages of the inquiry, except that one of the inmates of the workhouse deposed to seeing the prisoner take his wife by the hair of the head and kick her against the doorway, about three weeks before her last illness. Two witnesses proved that the deceased kept a druggist's shop at Culling worth about 13 years ago, and that he sold arsenic. At about half-past six o'clock the Chairman said that in consequence of information which had come to the knowledge of the magistrates, the prisoner would be remanded to that day weak. The prisoner, on hearing this, exclaimed, "You are going to murder me ; you are going to murder me." The excitement which this remarkable case has pro duced in Keighley and its neighbourhood is very great. THE SUICIDE OF LIEUT.-COLONEL JAMES STUART. Last evening Mr. Bedford, the coroner, and a highly-respectable jury of the locality, assembled at the Peathers Tavern; Grosvenor-street West, Eaton-square, to inquire into the circumstances attending the melancholy death of the late Lieut.- Colonel James Stuart, aged 68, who committed self-destructio❑ by shooting himself through the head with a pistol, on Sunday morning, the 3d inst. . Mr. John Henry Daniels of Halkin-street West, Be]grave-square, stated that the deceased was his uncle by marriage, and was a retired lieut.-colonel of her Majesty's service, having formerly belonged to the 45th Foot. (There is such an officer according to " Hart's Army List," a retireelieut.-colonel on half-pay from the 84th Foot.) He had served in the Peninsular war. He had also been in India and suffered severely from the jungle fever caught in Eurmah. A piece of bone had recently come away from his head, and he laboured of late under a thiusion tha people were haunting him to poison him, carrying his belief out to such au extent as to refuse dining with his friends occasionally. At the suggestion of his relatives lie was examined a short time ago by Dr. Sutherland, with the view of ascer taining whether his eccentricity was such as to re quire any restraint or confinement at all, but he was pronounced to be perfectly harmless. A few months ago he went to the police station an - 1 com plained of his imaginary tormentors, thereby leav ing no doubt about his mind being affected. Dur ing the past summer he had been to Germany for the benefit of his health, and returned considerably improved. Mr. James Laing, jun., son of the eminent gun maker, Cockspur-street, Cl:wino . ..cross, deposed to the deceased having purchased ' the pocket-pistol with which the deed was committed from wit noes on Saturday, the 2d inst. Wm. Sumner, the butler of the house where de ceased had lodged, and his wife and servant gill, as also Dr. Griffith, ,d-3posed to the nature of the wound. The latter gentleman further stated that th e most extranrdivary part of tie matter was, that notwithstanding the far.t of the ball having gone as it were c'•eau through the head, the de ceased , howed not the least symptom of pain, and, stranger still, seemed a little conscious at times during the nine days' illness tkat supervened be tween the inflic ion of the wound and death. Such a circumstance was perhaps unparalleled. Nit's. Sumner stated, that she had heard Colonel Stuart wish that somebody would blow his brains out, but he never threatened to commit suicide. After he had breakfasted on the day of the occur raw, he declined to order anything for dinner, as he said, with tears in Lis eyes, that Le was miser able. _ After hearing some further evidence, the jury re turned a verdict to the Pfred that the " deceased gentleman bad destroyed himself during a state of temporary insanity."

Outlying piquet, across the river the night before last ; ditto last night • guard to-day ; stiffish duty—rather. The whole of Gen. Windham's force moved from their ground (about six miles off) last night, as it was reported that the Gwalior force was advancing ; and this morning the 64th Regiment moved out to the Delhi road, leaving only sufficient men to form the main guard and piquet, which have to-day been amalgamated, in the entrenched camp. The quartermaster of the 64th has just ridden in to get provisions for the men, and says that firing has been heard distinctly for the last hour in the direction of Gen. Windham ; so perhaps they have been lucky enough to fall in with the rebels. The ladies came half-way from Lucknow the other day, but were obliged to turn back, as the wood was blocked up by the rebels. We have had no news from Lucknow since the 19th. What do you think the Gwaliors say That they intend waiting until we are hampered with the ladies from Lucknow, and then, that they will easily take Cawnpore ; that Allababad will take a little longer to capture, but that some of their force is sure to take it.' J ust letthem try to do either ! I saw another nigger strung up the other day ; he was a swell in his way, and was hanged for having in his possession Government paper and money to a large amount, and also for favouring the rebels. Whom do you 'think I met yesterday ? Paliologus He is with the 34th Regiment, and is with General Windham's force. Swire has just come in from the fight ; it occurred about 18 mil from this, and we completely routed t em. Of ceurse I have no particulars as yet. Captain Dy, 88th, killed. I saw him only yesterday. Swire had a narrow escape—a round shut and a round of grape passed underneath his horse. As ho was riding in he met an officer on the road, an ensign, I believe, cf the —th, and asked if he was badly hit. Oh, no,' answered the sub., ' only half my thigh carried away by a round shot.' Piquet again for me to-night across the river. The rebels fought, and fought hard too, for an hour and. a half. Quartermaster-General M'Crea had his horse shot under him. There are three friends of T—'s here —Brackenbury, who was at the fight to-day, a Dr. M`Nah, and a Captain Cunliffs, Bengal Fusiliers. The latter came out from England, and went up as far as Meerut with T--, and lie and I were on guard together to-day. " Outlying Piquetl, Oude Territory, 6.39 p.m. "Here I am again (as the clowns observe) in charge of a small mud fort, two guns without wheels, and 30 men, in an enemy's country, and with some 3,000 of the beauties' all abotr. I wish they would come on. I think we could make a few of them food for jackals. This said piquet com mands the approach to the bridge ; so in case of a scrimmage, I shall abandon the mud edifice and wheelless guns, retreat to the end of the bridge, and then walk into the niggers until a force comes down from the fort. As lam left to my own dis cretion, I think this the best course to adopt. " Good news from Lucknow. It is entirely in our po session—rebels defeated, and Sir Colin and the ladies coming in. At present they are 30 miles from this. I have not taken off my clothes for two days. " Back again at my tent in camp. Iha I only just finished my breakfast when the bugle sounded, and out we all turned again. As I write very heavy firing is going on, apparently about five miles from this. The big guns are distinctly au dible, and sometimes the muikotry ; so Windham is 'at 'em' again. Our piquet last night were within 500 yards of theirs. " Poor old Gen. Havelock is dead. The firing is still going on. "7.30 the same evening. " Well, we have just come back from the fight ; that is, we were obliged to retire. Windham has evidently been deceived by his spies, who repre snted the enemy's forte to be 2,000 or 3,000 ; whereas there could not have been less than 25,000 opposed against us. At one time I never expected to get back to camp alive. We were retiring down a road, and the shot and shell went flying along its centre whilst we skulked along in the ditch. You can't fancy what a 21-pounder is wh-'n it p;t3hes within a few yards of you. cannot think how we eAc.tpcd. One shell burst within a few yards of me, but not a man was touched. One of our felluws was hit in the hand. THE KEIGHLEY POISONING. On Wednesday John Sagar, master of the Keighley Workhouse, was again placed in the dock of the Keighley Court-house, charged with the murder of his wife, Bar bara Sagar, by administering arsenic. Mr. Manwaring, poor law inspector, occupied a seat on the bench during part of the proceedings. The prisoner, o n being placed in the dock, appeared to be considerably dejected, and he wept several times during the day. Mr. Milligan, the surgeon who attended the deceased, was recalled, and was questioned relative to the bottle orrnedicine which he sent to Mrs. Sagar on the Wed nesday, and which was produced by Mr. Cheeseborough, the superintendent constable. He stated that the quantity of medicine said to have been given to Mrs. Sagar out of that bottle on the Wednesday, namely, two table-spoon fuls and a half, could not have been taken out of it, from the quantity of Medicine which now remained in it, if the spoonfuls were of the usual medical measurement. 1u cross-examination by Mr. Wasney, the prisoner's counsel, he said that quantity might have been poured out, if one or two table-spoonfuls of water had since been added to the medicine, but it did not appear to have been diluted ; at all events, very little. In reply to the Court, he said no bottle of medicine was charged by him for Mrs. Sagar on the Wednesday night. Martha Bland, wife of Thomas Bland, one of the guardians, of the Keighley Union, was next recalled, and in addition to her previous evidence it Was elicited, that on the night before the deceased died the prisoner called at her house, and after remaining a few minutes, went out with her husband. They returned together, in about an hour, and ten minutes after Sagar lefr, to go home. Thomas Bland,. the husband of the last witness, was called and questioned very minutely by the chairman as to when he hal been in company with Sagar during the week that the deceased died. He stated that ha bad only been with him oace, and that was on the Wednes day or Thursday evening, at Mrs. Corlasels public-house, in Keigbley, where he met him accidentally. On being asked particularly whether Sagar had called at his house on Friday night, and he had gone out with him, he re plied he did not know—he could not recollect—he did not remember. When told of the statement made by his wife, he said it might possibly be true, but if Sagar called at his house, it was on the evening they were at Mrs. Cerless's, and he did not remember exact'y what that night was. Tula witness, it appeared, hid also known that the prisoner and his wife went to Liverpool for three days at the latter part of last year, and that Sagar subsequently went by a day trip to Manchester, but he did not obtain leave of absence from the work -1 hou=e, and witness, though one of the guardians, and aware of this, made no report of it to the other guardians or to the clerk to the board. During his examination, the chairman threatened to commit Mr. Bland for perjury, and at its close he said the magistrates were thoroughly convinced that he had per jured himself, and it. was utterly impossible for any person to believe that Sagar could call at his house on the night before the death of the deceased, that be could go out with him, return again inj an hour, and not be able to remember anything at sit about it. Ann Bind ,en unmarried woman, 22 years of age, the daughter of the two last witnesses, vas next c a n e d. Her evidence contained some moat extraordinary state ments. She was asked about the rumours abroad that she and the prisoner had kept company, and she admitted that there was truth in those rumours, but alleged that Mrs. Sagar bad led her to be guilty of the improper conduct. She had et first had improper intercourse with tee prisoner four years ago, when Mrs. Sager asked her, when she was at the wor khouse, to slee p with her husband and herself. In reply to furiTher questions, Oat said that. Mrs. Sagar had asked her to go to bad with her, asad to'd her not to be afraid if her (Mrs. Sagar's) husband came. Witness said Mrs. Sagar did not ask her to Bleep with her because she apprehended violence from- her husband, and persisted in saying that it was for the purpose of having improper intercourse with him. She had acted as mistress at the workhouse on several '- - - - -t- •--2- • e - "November 30. "I was interrupted in my letter; as we Lai to urn out at about two o'clock in tho t, o , :cupy the Baptist Chapel ; we thought we should have had a quiet day ; but just after breakfast, time crack went the rifles in front, and in about 10 minutes the enemy's shot, shell, and grape came pitching into and over the place in fine style. Ho w ever, no one was hit, as we had excellent cover. We soon got tired of it, however ; and to our delight, we percaived a reinforcement of the alai coming up the road. So we fell in, in front of them, and marched down the road for about ha'f a mile; when we suddenly came upcn the enemy's! battery in a most formidable position. Of course the instant they perceived us a storm of grape, shot, shell, &e., opened upon us. The brigadier gave the word to charge, and at 'em we went ; but sadly reckoned without our host. You will imagine what a fire we were exposed to when I tell you that we went in 14 officers and 160 men ; of the former, sever were killed directly, and two wounded; of the latter, only 18 killed, and 15Iwounded, so the officers were evidently picked out. We fought at the guns for about 10 minutes. Two were spiked—one by Major Stirling, who rushed up to it, sword in hand. The native gunners rushed at us in the most ferocious manner, cutting with their swords and ' throwing bricks. By the latter, Captain Bowlby and I were knocked down together but juumped up again directly, when the devils came at us again with swords and shields. I fired my pistol at one fellow, and I suppose I hit him, for he did not come on. Brigadier Wilson was killed. I was just behind him, when his horse was struck by two balls. He was afterwards shot through the body. However, we were regularly beaten off, and then commenced a most terrible retreat. The guns—six in number—and swarms of infantry poured in a withering fire. As 1 ran to the rear, officers and men were shot down within a yard of me ; but I escaped by the greatest miracle. I ran by the brigadier's side,- until his horse was hit, which was about 20 yards'irom the muzzles, when I passed him. Directly4n officer was down the sepoys cut him to pieces with theiutulwars. But just fancy 160 men charging six guns and about 1,000 Infantry I We were awfully blown in getting up to their position, as we had to cross a deep ' nullah' and up the other side. I was one of the first ' fortunates up—at least all the officers were in front ; but there could not have been more than 50 men with us. We had two guns in our possession for a few minutes ; but our supports failed us, and then it was, ' Devil take the hindmost.' We have been under a hot fire since the 26th. lam writing \ this from our outer trench, and the shot and shell are flying about from both sides. However, we are quite safe, and haven't had a casualty since we entered the trenches. The sepoys occupy the ad jacent ruins, and as they cut from one to the other we pot them. They bad. done themselves up with ' bang' yesterday, intending to rush at us with their swords, but the brutes funked it after all. It was a dreadful sight to see the poor officers being cut up. They were all round me, but by the g West mercy I was not touched. I lost my sword belt, scabbard, pistol, and keys (which were attached to the scabbard). Whether the whole apparatus was cut away by a shot or no, I don't know. Oh, I forgot to tell you that in the first day's fight I tumbled into a burning limekiln, but didn't get hurt a bit, although I lost one of my pistols. One of the pool. fellows (Gibbons, 52d) who was afterwards killed at the charge on the guns, rushed in after me, but I scrambled out by myself. We caught a spy or sepoy this morning, and didn't we blow his brains out ! I net er could have be lieved that one could get so accustomed to firing ; but I can assure you that one pays no more atten tion to ' wh'stling Dick' going b y than one would to a b't of paper. In the g un Scrimmage my e? at and sword were splashed all over with blood. For tunately the s ame night that we fell ba ck upon the entrenchments Sir Colin's force came in from Luck now ; for ,we were getting wiser hard pressed. The-e Gwaliors that are fighting now are some 20,000 strong, and the natives bre joining them every ciay. They had 40 guns or so at.the beginning of the row ; but now they have lost some to us. This trench business is harassing work. We have been four days and four nights without taking our things off. There is a ruined bungalow about 400 yards off full of sepoys. The brutes some ins( sfi e into us in the middle of the night, and the gen e ral won't let us make a rush and drive them out. They shelled our hospital the other day ' . and I be lieve wounded some of the patients. The ladies and children have arrived from Lueknow ; but I don't think they are in the entrenchment yet. Gen. Havelock died of dysentery, and Gen N sill was shot .- .._.,.: •._ This Day is published, in Two Vols., post Bvo., price 21s. cloth. `GENES OF CLERICAL LIFEI -1,7 The SAD FORTUNES of the Rev.
