Dated this 11th day of November, 1858. CHAS. PIJGH, Chief Clerk. WICKENS and BRUTTON, Solicitors to the Official Manager, 4, Tokenhouse-yard, Bank. (From the Times.) When Tacitus wrote his treatise on the manners of the Germans he lived under a despotism the most absolute, the most powerful, and the most per vading which the world had ever witnessed thcs3 days there was no feeling of religiol progress of social enlightenment, to fetter the arm of power uplifted to strike, and the civilised world was governed, not by the steady will of a master submitting hi mse lf to law s which it had created for his guidance, but, as recent experience had too . clearly shown, by the fury of a tyrant, the delu sions of a maniac, or the pureile caprices of a buffoon. Yet Tacitus dared to write, and Rome to read, that memorable appeal from the vices and servility of Imperial Italy to the rough but manly liberty of Republican Germany, and neither a ser vile Senate nor a prostituted tribunal troubled the repose of the man destined to bequeath to future ages the deathl ess pi c t ure o f a ll that tyranny can inflict and all that helplessness and meanness can suffer. Had Tacitus lived, not in Pagan Rome but in Christian France—had his lot been cast in the nineteenth instead of the first century of our era— had he, instead of being the citizen of a country the pride of which it was to trample out the liberty of every nation of the earth, and finally to immolate her own freedom in order to retain the precious power of enslaving others—had he been born the citizen of a country which only 70 years ago un dertook the propaganda of freedom over the whole earth, and little more than ten -ears ago possessed a free press and a free Parliament —would his double-edged commendations of the laws and man ners of another State have been written with equal impunity? The question is an interesting one for those who are anxious to measure the progress of the human race during the last eighteen hundred years, and is distinctly resolved in the negative by the present prosecution.of M. de Montalembert.' We have no doubt that our readers have availed themselves of the opportunity we have afforded them of making themselves masters of a work which is destined to be remarkable not only for its great intrinsic merits, but for the judg ment which the tribunals of France are called upon to pass on it. Of this production itself, highly eulogistic as it is of England, her habits, and her institutions, we might at another time, and in the portion of this journal devoted more especially to literature, have had many things to say. M. de Montalembert's faith is not our faith. The point of view from which he regards English party poli tics is not our point of view. We differ very widely from him in his appreciation of individual states men and orators, and habit has not reconciled us to the constant reiteration of his proposition that liberty is the most favourable condition for the diffusion of the Roman Catholic religion,—" the sure and only weapon by which she makes and con firms her conquests." But we confess it ; after the careful perusal of a work from which we are com pelled in so many respects to differ, we feel the most unfeigned astonishment when we find that such a publication, proceeding from such a man, is actually treated by the French Government as a crime, drawing after it consequences so serious that we do not care in the present stage of the proceed ings to particularise them more minutely. We can not even conceive what that theory of government is which can treat such a work as an offence. We trust that it is no part of the entente cordiale to punish a man of letters, born we believe in this country, and certainly possessing a knowledge of its institutions and politics superior to that possessed by many well-educated Englishmen, for having selected as the subject of his pen the memorable Revolt of our Indian Army, and the great Parlia mentary contest to which it indirectly gave rise. In treating that subject he gives it to be under stood that he prefers the present Constitution of England—that is, the Constitution of France ten years ago—to the present Constitution of France. Is it, then, a deadly offence in the eyes of our ally that a French author should at length have been found to venture upon writing a few pages in behalf of us —of us whom ever since the commencement of our Indian troubles a large portion of the press of France has not ceased, in language the most un measured, to denounce, to vilify, and to execrate ? We may be, perhaps, blinded by egotism ; we cer tainly arc utterly unable to see why the French Government, which has viewed with such phleg matic and impassible patience the frantic attacks against our Indian empire and its supporters, should be roused into such sudden and vehement activity by the novel apparition of an author who believes that there is something to be said on the other side, and who, relying, no doubt, on the cor dial relations between the two Governments, has given utterance to his opinions with all the elo quence of a long and heartfelt, conviction. Is it the rule upon which literary productions are viewed by the French authorities that to abuse England is to praise France, and to praise England is neces sarily to decry her neighbours ? The French Go vernment professes to rest on the will of the majo rity. Does this mean that the voice of the minority is thenceforth to be silent for ever, and that the fiat of universal suffrage is to meet with universal submission, not only of the body, but of the mind —not only of the actions, but of the thoughts ? Is it to be understood that the French nation, which has sounded the depths of all philosophy and climbed the heights of almost every species of lite rary excellence, is henceforth to be precluded, not only from speculation on its own institutions, its own destiny, and its own manners, but also from contemplating the constitutions and habits of foreign nations, lest by such means a light, however dim and reflected, should be thrown on France her self, a subject henceforth wholly forbidden to French writers ? If this be really so—and under no supposition less extravagant cart we account for the prosecution with which M. de Montalembert is threatened—it were only merciful to declare it at once, and thus close in black night the gradu ally deepening twilight which broods over free discussion in France. Let the men of genius who are still so un happy as to dwell where genius is the heaviest of misfortunes know their fate at once. The circle within which they have been restricted has up to this time been traced with tolerable precision. No body supposes that since the institution of the em pire the French Government would tolerate appeals to the great masses of mankind, such as we in this country are every day familiar with. But it has up to this time been supposed that publications evidently not designed to work on the passions and feelings of the populace, written for the perusal of educated readers, and based on actual fact and observation, might be given to the world with impunity. Within this little circle the literature of France has hitherto restricted itself, and M. de Montalembert had every reason to think that, at any rate within these limits, he might express approbation, in common with some others of his countrymen, of the Constitution of England, and even in measured and decorous language convey doubts as to whether his own country had succeed ed in providing herself with the best of all possible Governments and Constitutions. This last refuge of the literary spirit of France has at length been reached, and there remains nothing for her writers and thinkers but absolute and mournful silence. The lamp is quenched, the vase is broken, the voice is hushed, and from one end to t he other of the Empire nothing must henceforth be heard but that which is dictated by the Government, or antici pates with servile sagacity that whichthe Govern ment would have it utter. Whatever be the result of the particular trial, this must be its effect upon the mind of France. History is a seditious libel if she praises institutions different from those which France now enjoys, or blames anything which has the faintest resemblance to them. Philosophy is a o dless freedom of spe culativeseditious libel if , in the bun she evol v e any principle intellect ,m which the liberty of though t or action can, how ever remotely, be deduced • and poetry i s a se ditious libel unless solely devoted to th e monotonou s task of offering her incense to a single man and to a single system. These things are the affair of France herself, but itconcerns Eng land somewhat to see the praise of her institutions treated as a mortal offence by a friendly Govern ment, and to find herself summoned, in the person of M. de Montalembert, before the Correctional Police to defend her institutions. It may be neces sary, in the opinion of the French Government, to tread out in this manner the last embers of free discussion; but surely the subject was ill-selected, and it was unwise to let it go forth that the coup de grace was given to the press of France because it was too apt to employ itself in commendation of a country with the abuse of which the French Government never interfered, but whose praises it was utterly unable to bear.

The following communication front the Foreign office has been received by Mr. James Beazley, of Liverpool, in reply to a request for information on the subject it treats of:— "Foreign-office, Nov. 8. " Sir,—l am directed by the Earl of Malmesbury to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 13th ult., stating that you wish to send a cargo of salt to Shanghai, and requesting to be informed whether the importation of salt is prohibited in China. " I am to state to you, in reply, that soon after the conclusion of the supplementary treaty of 1843, doubts having been entertained whether or not salt could be introduced into Chinese ports as an unenumerated' article under the treaty on pay ment of an ad valorem. duty of 5 per cent., Sir Henry Pottinger and Sir John Davis, at that time her Majesty's Superintendent of Trade at Hong Kong, were consulted on the matter, and I am to convey to you the substance of their - opinion thereon, together with such other information as to the views of the Chinese authorities in regard to the importation of foreign salt as has been re ceived at this office. " Sir H. Pottinger stated that he was not aware of any objection that could be made by the govern ment of China to the importation of salt as an un enumerated' article ; that the manufacture of salt was in China a rigid Imperial monopoly, and that great precautions were consequently observed to tpurerea from ventsalt be t i h n a g t h c a a d rri b e e d en in c t l o an t d h e e sti i n n e te ly ri m or an o u f ftahce country, but that that regulation would not, in his opinion, apply to foreign salt. " Sir J. Davis also stated that, in his opinion, no doubt existed as to the right of British subjects, if they deemed it advisable, to import salt into China as an unenumerated' article on paying a duty of 5 per cent., but he observed that salt had been from time immemorial a Government monopoly, and must therefore be sold to the per sons licensed by Government, and that in that re spect it would be on the same footing as saltpetre. Sir J. Davis subsequently reported, in a despatch addressed to this office on the 23d of February, 1846, that he had received a despatch from her Ma jesty's consul at Shanghai, stating that the intend ant of that place had refused to allow a cargo of foreign salt to be imported on the ground that it was contrary. to the long existing laws of China, and that he (Sir J. Davis) had found it necessary to address Commissioner Keying on the subject, Sir J. Davis, in his letter to Keying, assumed that salt might be imported under the usual restrictions, and sold to the salt merchants who were securities for the Government tax, expressing at the same time his apprehension that its exclu sion would tend to produce smuggling. Key ing replied that the strict laws relating to the duty on salt prevented its impor tation from foreign countries, and that, moreover, as salt is produced on the coast of China to a larger amount than is required for consumption, and there remains a considerable surplus after all the salt merchants have been supplied, if foreign salt were to be imported, not only would the Chinese mer chants act in defiance of the laws by purchasing it, but it could nowhere be disposed of, and conse quently realise no profit to the importer. " Sir J. Davis further reported in February, 1848, that Commissioner Keying had addressed a communication to him complaining that a Bri tish merchant had offered salt for sale at Ningpo, and that it had been ascertained that there were three British vessels which had it on board. Key ing reminded Sir John Davis that the master of a British vessel had on a previous occasion offered salt for sale, when orders were issued ' to take the salt away,' and that the importation of salt by merchant vessels into Chinese harbours was against the treaty,' and he requested that in structions might be given to the British consul at Ningpo to order the salt vessels to depart. Sir J. Davis replied that it had before been settled with reference to a ship laden with salt at Shanghai, that foreign vessels could not introduce salt into China unless it was sold to officers appointed to re ceive it, it being a Government monopoly; and that, therefore, he should remind the consul of that circumstance for his future guidance. " I am to add that no further information has been received by her Majesty's Government as to whether salt would be allowed to be imported at any other of the Chinese ports opened by treaty ; and that such being the case, it is evident that British merchants importing salt into any of the Chinese ports must do so at their own risk.

It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some of Thorley's food; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had gained no leas than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff', &e., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, New,gate-street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free.

BY SAMUEL LAWERT, 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Hono rary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Li centiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., Arc. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fear ful consequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Manhood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condi tion, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is en titled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous iees,ei n yya ybpeoefi inconsiderateali r es a , ted a . n d how w s hen et w isdom and h rexels o u se eee p e e d na t i ll he I n t i d n u ol g. o e t n ce t heir bitterness maybe boef yo r si c id m cead o l, v i e lal d fin , rd a n, n i ja d tiy)o l o i N o r, et functional v uan t l h cl otehnvaai that theread n e c r d u a r n i e t e ss e derangement tgloyueinleelyiscdheliyetimely aid of science cannot apply and m a Published ybe h b a y d .T o . rAllen Mann,, 2 0 3 , 9 7 Warwick-lane, Paternoster-row, L s e t i e ce r- s r i o e t r y_, l e y nh f a ro ll in stLe t e i t l i 0 2, r a fr n o d m fr t o h m e A G u t t ii l l to B r , , wata7mca;yGhoerdcoonn,slll6(li,edandi had in India, A Mr. Von zy, Loll at Thy residence, 37, 110-stree • Bazaar; C ticutta—Messrs.

The new 51 gun screw frigate Melpomene, is to be out of the hands of the shipwrights in Ports mouth dockyard by the 27th, when she will be im mediately rigged and fitted for the first class of the steam reserve (i. e., in all respects ready for com mission). The Urgent, 6, ironsteam troopship, Commander M'Donald, will be ready by the 21st inst. to em bark troops at Portsmouth. The Neptune, 120, sailing ship, has between 300 and 400 men employed upon her to turn her out of hands by the beginning of the financial year, as a 91 gun screw two-decker. The line of battle screwsteamer, Hood, 90, which is being brought forward at Chatham dockyard for launching, has had a number of shipwrights em ployed for several days past in false keeling the ship. Messrs. Penn, the contractors for making the engines, have sent a number of workmen from their factory to prepare the Hood for the reception of the screw propeller and the machinery, the latter of which will be of 600-horse power. 'The Hood is a very fine vessel, and will prove a valuable addition to that class of screw steamers. Rear-Admiral Smart, Aide-de-Camp to the Queen and Chairman of the Dockyard Commission of Economy, accompanied by Mr. R. Laws, storekeeper at Chatham ; Mr. A. Murray, chief engineer and inspector of machinery at Portsmouth ; Mr. Chat field, master shipwright at Deptford; and others composing the Commission, yesterday arrived at Woolwich dockyard, for the purpose of inspecting the working of 13ray% steam traction engine in order to render a report to theilciard of A•lmi- ralty. Yesterday was the close of the month for which the engine was engaged experimentally, when it was put through a course of tests in drag ging heavy loads of timber, at a speed of six miles per hour, along the stoned thoroughfares, winding round the narrow curves, and performing a rapi d circle in the presence of the commissioners, as well as Sir John Rennie the engineer, and the various authorities of the yard. The commissioners ex pressed themselves extremely satisfied with the trials, and returned to Chatham. The crew of the Cressy at Sheerness were paid down yesterday, and a portion of them have been granted from 7 to 14 days' leave of absence.

The honorary medals of the Royal Humane So ciety have just been awarded to Colour-Sergeant Thomas Barrow and Sapper John Castle, of the Royal Engineers, attached to head-quarters, B - 2ompten, for their gallant and praiseworthy con duct in having, on the 23d of August last, cou rageously plunged into the Medway and succeeded in rescuing a woman named Mary Fitzpatrick, who attempted to drown herself in the river at St. Mary's Creek, Chatham. ___ _ _ _ Oiders have been forwarded to Fort Pitt Hos pital, Chatham, for the following medical officers atthat establishment to proceed to the stations named :—Staff Assistant-Surgeon M.

Boxer, of the Chatham Division of the Royal Marine Light Infantry, tx pired in Melville Hospital on Thursday night after a short illness, the cause of death being disease of the brain. The deceased officer served in the Baltic in the year 1854-55. His commission as se cond lieutenant bears date the 24th of July, 1856. The infliction of corporal punishment at Wool wich, after a lapse ofseveral months, during which time no single case of military flogging has oc curred in the garrison, created considerable ex citement yesterday morning, when it became known that a gunner of the Royal Horse Artiller had received 50 lashes. It appears that every other mode of punishment has been essayed in the fruitless endeavour to reclaim the prisoner's insu bordinate habits without having recourse to the extreme measure resorted to yesterday. The bat talions of Royal Artillery with the brigade of field batteries and Horse Artillery, dismounted, were paraded at eight o'clock a.m., in front of the bar rack quarters, and were drawn up in the riding school to witness the infliction of the lash. The prisoner was a gunner named Alexander Ross, be longing to Major Tupper's A troop, who was last week convicted at a general court-martial of un soldierly and disgraceful conduct, in having, at 7 o'clock in the morning of 21th of August last, at Romford, during the march from Shoeburyness to Woolwich, while in a state of intoxication, broken and destroyed the furniture of his billet ; also of having struck and injured a gunner of the troop, and made a desperate attempt on the life of a non commissioned officer with his drawn sword. These facts were elicited in evidence at the court-martial from the officers of the troop as well as from several of the prisoner's comrades who were 'present. In addition to the punishment of 50 lashes, the maxi mum now permitted by the service, the prisoner was sentenced to undergo 350 days' imprisonment, to date from the time of his arrest at Romford. The judgment of the court-martial was read in the pre sence of the entire corps, and the prisoner was forthwith subjected to the whole of the corporal punishment awarded, which he bore with marked indifference, and did not exhibit the slighest indi cation :of, regret or emotion of pain. His term of service is stated to be 10 years, and his conduct of the worst possible character, his habits of intoxi cation originating almost every species of crime. It is stated that on being liberated from Fort Clarence he will be dismissed her Majesty's service with ignominy. MILITIA. Col.

They assembled in the depot field, Southover, under the command of Col. Carr Llovd, who has been through out the entire period of the training indefatigable in his endeavours to increase the skill of his men. In this work he has been ably and strenuously assisted by the officers of the regiment, Major Ches ter, Capt. Settle, the Adjutant, Capt. Wetherell, Capt. St. Clair, Capt. Sadler, Capt. Cole, Capt.

At the close of the practice the men were paraded in front of the Inspecting w Colonel St. John Browne, who said he very much pleased with the manner in which they had gone through their drill that [day, and more especially with the manner in which they had handled the artillery He had been inf orme d by th e c hi e f constable (Captain Mackay), that there had not been a single complaint against a militiaman of the Royal Sussex Artillery, which did great credit to the re giment. The officers and men assembled at the Re gimental Depot at Southover, Lewes, on Wednes day, Oct. 20, and were dismissed on Tuesday, Nov. 9. The strength of the regiment has been much re duced, from numerous transfers to the regular forces, and the effective volunteers at drill did not exceed 220.
