The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con .o ,uences resulting from certain habits, irregularities,- and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature :decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recomniended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, andiprivlleges to which every human being is It la absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are p inciples of personal management which cannot be violated with out 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 s yemoved, an i how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, a n d, above all, - hat there Is scarcely any degree of physical Infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannotjapply a Cure.

The rationale 'of the attack was this :—There were two columns of assault, to start simultaneously in a direction almost from east to west, to sweep the whole town. This plan.was adopted in preference to any other, because it was known that the cen tral street of the- town , was mined, or sprinkled with explosive materials likely t o do our troops a Serious injury. At about 12 o'clock the powder bags were placed, the fuse lighted, and soon after rockets flew into the air as a signal, followed by an explosion—the gate was clear ; out our men poured in quick succession, though with the ut most steadiness, each brigadier at the head of his column, sword in hand, the first and second leading to the right, the third to the left, while . Oe fourth remained je reserve. In one half hour afterwards the whole of the town inamedi etely in front of the attacking party was in our possession. The first column having routed them From their bastions, occupied the Soorujpole Gate, ' l thus taking the rebels quite in rear, who, not being ;aware that the third columnwas totheleft, crossed :its front at 400 yards, when a great number were killed by the-Enfields of the 95th. Others, seeing that they would have to run the gauntlet, made for the bastions, and effected their escape over the 'walls by ropes, which had apparently been in rea diness for this purpose ; and one man, who was ;mounted, in a paroxysm of frenzy spurred his ;horse; to the rampart, and jumped clean over, a fall of filty feet. Both horse and rider were seen af terwards at the foot of it outside, killed. After loccupying the, bastions, and commanding houses, !the columns proceadatoplear the houses, and in lone some eight or ten men were found fully armed and prepared to fight ; and as they could not be !dislodged, -Colonel Park desired the Sappers to ;mine the angles, which being done, the party were Iblown up, as was quite impossible to leave them lin our rear ; it was afterwards discovered that !Lallah Sing (brother to Hera Sing, the commander jof the rebels) was among the number in that house I—it1 —it was his head-quarters. Nearly in every street was a gun in position to sweep it, with in many instances double barricades in front ; and here and there by the guns, infernal machines, with 50 barrels each, loaded half way upend duly primed. The first division captured 16 guns, second eight, 14 ; in all 57 guns, two thirds of which are brass, of the heaviest metal, have been taken. Some of the iron ones mounted in commanding positions at the angles of the walls on high bastions ate of the largest calibre and size, throwing heavier shot than our 68's. 500 prisoners were taken, all of whom were handed over to the political agent ; some of them were recognised as condemned con victs, who had been fteed by the rebels to work the guns. The rebels driven out from the town, streamed away from the western gate, and taking a south eastern course across a large pltin with their guns plunder, wives, children, and servants, fled to the hills forming the plateau south t,f the ChumbuL It will hardly be credited in . England that this dis orderly rabble of fighting men, camp followers, women and children, all huddled together in a mass, were allowed to escape altogetht r unmolested. The ghauts of tI river Cl}umbul were guarded by the Jeypore contingent, and a few miles below the town lay a force of cavalry consisting of the Bth Hussars, Scinde Horse, and other irregulars, with Petrie's battery. They mustered nearly 1,000 strong, with six guns, and received instructions to in'ercept the enemy when r etreating, but, strange to say, they were in the same place forty-eight hours after the enemy had fled from the town and evacuated the entrenched camp on the other side of it, still inactive, an d it was not till fifty-two hours had elapsed that they com menced to pursue them. There is as yet no explanation of this extraordinary remissness, of which we shall presently see the cosequences. It is only rumoured that Brigadier Lawrence, the political agent, with the force, was in trepidation lest the rebels should cross the Chuelbul into the north country, and issued orders contradicting those given by Major-General Roberts'. All our soldiers, both European and native, were prevented looting, while the Rajah's people were allowed to plunder indiscriminately. On the after noon of the Ist, Captain Bainbrigge, the Brigade Major Ist Brigade, visited Captain Bazalgette for the purpose of reporting to Brigadier Macan the quantities of ammunition in the enzray's camp. Both officers left together to examine the houses, when soon after entering one of them a cracking noise was heard, and a ter r ifi c exp l os ion t oo k p l ace. There is too much reason to suppose tha the house was fired on purpose, as two men were killed by O ne of the officers of the 95th, as they were escap ing with burning fuses in their hand. Tito remains whose b o di es were so b urnt of the' two officers, that they could scar ce l y b e recognised, were only found on the mornin g of the 2nd among the ruins. _ _ .._ It is rumoured that the Maho Rao is acquitted of all participation in the murder of Major Burton and his sons, our unfortunate political agent. The Rajah sa id in his &fenc e th at he b ur i e d w h at re mained o f Major Burton (after the scoundrels cut off his head, loaded a gun wi th it, and fired it off) and his two sons in the Christian burial ground o utside the town. The s pot w as po i n t e d ou t, an d rhea it was found that his the bodies examine d, statement was correct. _ h il i i s at intelligeneer, and Lallah Sing's trea surer, s winging from a tree cl ose to one of the penalty of th e ir head accountan t, p aid the cr imes by chief gates of entr ance to the town, the Lalpoora, on the afternoon of the 13th. A free pardon was offered to the treasurer if he dticlosed where the rupees were bid, but to all inquiries he was silent, and so he was hanged. OP JHANSI. SIEGE AND CAPTURE The siege of Jhansi, and the battl e fought by the besieging force under Gen. Hugh Rose, deserve in truth to be recorded as the most b r illi an t f ea t s of arms in the Central Indian campaign. On the night of the 29-30th March orders were issued to the Ist brigade, under I 3 rigadierStuart, to close in and join the 2d, under sir Hugh Rose. The division thus formed, numbering , about 2,000 men of all anus, moved oft at dawn in a south easterly direction towards the Betwa, hoping to meet the enemy on their advance from the fords of the river. But the rebels, less hasty in their move ments than we had anticipated, were still on the op posite (right) bank of the Betwa, separated from us by the stream, three-quarters of a toile broad at that point, and flowing over a b ed so rocky that guns could only be taken across with difficulty. Sir Hugh drew up in order of battle on the left bank of the stream, and finding the enemy motionless, slowly retired to camp, the Ist brigade marching back to its old position on the left of,Jhansi, and Sir Hugh to one covering the camp of the right at tack. The enemy seized this opportunity to cross the river, and during the night lie marched up to a position a mile distant from our lines. It was not clear by which road the rebels would advance, as there were two roads into Jhansi by which he could approach. The Ist brigade, which, on the enemy's advance, bad again been ordered to unite with the 2d, was moved to a position on the right, and directed to advance, and, if possible meet the rebelsleft. Brigadier Stuart had already marched about ten miles in the direction appointed, when the fire of the rebels attacking the Brigade under Sir Hugh was heard. The main body of the enemy had concentrated itself in front of our right, and at six o'clock on the morning of April 1 commenced a _general action by throwing forward the who!e strength of his artillery, with two regiments of of Sepoys and 500 horse in support. Their guns opened upon uswithin 500 yards range. Orders ran down our lines to lie down, and as the infantry did so, our field glans unlimbered and returned the enemy's fire. Captain Lightfoot's battery, sup ported by infantry of the Hydrabad Contingent, was the first engaged. The fire from it was kept up with great precision, and responded to by the enemy without intermission. Neither side appeared willing to be silenced. Sir Hugh in order to create a diversion erdered out the 14th Dragoons under Captain Prettejcihn and. Mr. Mahon, who, taking a sweep, charged the enemy's right in- flank and threw them into some disorder. Still the rebel guns kept their ground, and another charge was determined on. According to the letters received there was some hesitation at this moment. The general wished Major Orr to charge on this po sition, from a want of celerity of movement, or the men being Irregulars, they did not understand charging guns ; so Sir Hugh went off and brought a.troop of the 14th Dragoons—Capt. Need's—to see if they could follow them. He put himself and staff at the head of the Dragoons, and led the charge in first-rate style, in front of a heavy fire of infantry and artillery. The enemy were panic stricken and fled. It remains as yet unexplained why the Hydra bad Contingent, under Major Orr, shrank at the order to charge; nor is it known whether the hesi tation arose from the attitude assumed by the men, or from that of the officer in command. The gene ral himself, however, by charging in person, de cided the day. The rebel right, in its movement of retreat, was unfortunate enough to athne unawares on Brigadier Stuart's force returning from its first advance in the morning. The brigade was about six 'miles from Jhansi when the enemy was observed crowning hill top to the right front. The advance was sounded, the cavalry was thrown forward, and the brigade ou rounding the front of a low bill, found the enemy 4,000 strong, halted in position in a village on the declivity. The 86th, thrown out in skirmishing order, cleared the neighbouring heights, and moved OR to the attack of the main body of rebel artillery, with the 25th N. I. in support. They were , met in the advance by a steady fire, which was returned with effect by their Enfield rifles. The attack and rat eat of the enemy wore simultaneous. The Gre nadiers of the 86th were seen moving over some heaps of stones, and an old wall, behind which they had taken cover, and with a cheer charging across the grain field at the gun ; but fast as they went they were not fast enough. An officer on a white torso was seen tearing across the intermediate space, now hid for a moment by the smoke of the enemy's artillery, but again seen at the guns slash ing right and left. The fire of these had now ceased, and the gallant adjutant of the 86th was seen waving his sword over a captured gun. And now arose deafening cheers from both ro,iments coming up : the enemy had turned and fled over the bill. The 86th, after exploring the villige, passed through it, but scarcely a shot was fired on them 't 11 they got to the other side, when a heavy fire was opened on them from behind some atones on a little eminence. Here they had formed and were making aregular retreat, with their rear-guard on the hill ; but nothing could withstand the 86th, who, again charging down the hill, captured two elephants and several camels of ammunition, cut ting, shooting, and bayonetting numbers of the guard. Here the adjutant was again in front, slashing right and left, and encouraging the men. The enemy were now on the plain ; such a beauti ful place for the cavalry, who were moving on at the trot, when close up at the gallop, and with them the adjutant of the 86th on his white horse, and his men close at his heels ; the rebels saw what was coming ; and about a hundred of them taking possession of a small wall, poured a destructive fire on the cavalry, which brought many to the ground, and emptied several teddies, among the former was the white horse. The 96th men were not idle, and a few of them coming up at this moment charged the wall with a yell, and obliged the enemy again to turn. Captain Giles, of the 14th Dra goons, getting his handful of men again altoge' her, charged gallantly, and with him, on a horse whose saddle had been emptied, the adjutant of the 86th ; but not to go far, as a bullet caught the horse on the head, and down they both came to the ground ; 1 but this brave officer was not to be stopped, He mounted another horse, and again dashed forward to the charge, but, ere long, his horse was seen to rear madly into the air, and both came to the ground, the horse having been shot through the heart. He again mounted, and used his sword to some purpose before the halt was sounded. The troops had been on foot 48 hours, and were about done up.. The enemy were a close to some rocky hills, from which they could not be dislodged without serious loss, and perhaps another night in the field. The whole, therefore, marched home in triumph. The attempt of the rebels to relieve Jhansi having thus been successfully disposed of, the siege pro gressed rapidly, and the breach in the left attack was considered sufficiently wide to permit of an assault on the morning of April 3. The attack on the breach was led by Captain Darby, Major Stuart took that by the ladders ; both got in ; they fought through the town, and charged to the gate of the fort. The town and fort swarmed with the enemy ; their fire was murderous, but the 86th held its own. The 3d Europeans found their ladders too abort, and when Lieutenants Dick end Meiklejohn of the Engineers had reached the top, and had been as sisted on to the crest of the wall by their own men, they were suddenly seized, dragged inside, and cut to pieces by the enemy, the breaking of the ladders at the time rendering it impossible for the men to follow. The enemy made a most obstinate stand at the Palace, but Colonel Lowth, of the 86th, with some men of the 3d, 86th, and the 25th Native Infantry, succeeded, after- repeated attempts, in forcing a door open with a beam of wood ; the enemy soon after fled, not, however, before the scoundrels succeeded in shooting a brave officer, Colonel Turnbull, of the Artillery, who was hit in the palace yard whilst speaking to Colonel Lowth. Everything in the palace was found in excellent order, especially the Ranee's bedroom, a very pretty place, in which were found two large silver bedsteads, withsbeautiful silk bedding, &c. On the morning of the sth the fort was found to have been evacuated during the night, and was im mediately taken possession of by Brigadier Stuart (Ist Brigade), and the British flag planted on its topmost pinnacle by an officer of the 86th, Lieut. Cochrane. The number of dead bodies (says a correspon dent) lying in every street, and in many of the houses, was very great. On the third and fourth days the stenches and sights were beyond descrip tion. The bodies were collected together, however, and burnt, and the place is now getting better, hut not equal to Price and Gosnell's perfumery. A quantity of jewels and money was found walled up in the palace, and doubtless a larger quantity is buried. Up to the present time, I think 10 lacs worth have turned up, with lots of precsous stones, jewellery, ct , . - c. Eight elephants fetched 8,600 rs. It appears that our unfortunate people, after hav ing been taken outside the city walls, were killed on the road, and some two or three days after the bodies of the men were thrown into one pit and those of those of the ladies and children into an . . other. These pits haye been pointed out to us and at fist it was thought of removing ;the re mains frotil . tliern and depositing, them, in the Cfaistian bUrial-grohnd. The: royal - 'engineers were ordered to perform this duty, but it was found that decomposition had not quite done its woll—the smell - was very - offensive, and " might prove injurious ; a large tomb is therefore to be erected - over the • spot. I recognised amongst the' remains a little Child's frock, and from the skull of a female I re• moved somelopg silken hair of a very light colour —a sad memento, indeed ! THE RELIEF OF AZIMGHIIR. • The latest 'intelligence you have received, even by way .of Calcutta, cannot, I believe, have told you of the e relief of Azitnghirr by. Colonel Lord Mark ,Kerr and a, wing of the 13th Regiment. The following account of this ope ra ti on will be read With great interest -" The headqUarters of. her Majesty's 'l3th Light Infantry, 400 'strong,and the detachment of the Queen's Bays, numbering 60 sabres, which left fillahabad. on the 27th March, were jeined at 3enares by two 6-pounder guns, and the column Marched Ibenc*o with 'a convoy of more than 300 waggons, under the command of Lord Mark Kea., 911 the 2d Aptil, and on the sth were within ten Miles of the besieged town. The 6th of April is riegarded by the Sepoys as unusually auspicious, and it was consequently with feelings of the very highest confidence th.tt they had na•Ade their dis irsitious for the attack, and in a manner which, it must be confessel, reflected considerable credit on their leader. (a well-known subadar . of the 40th F . L), who had under his -c)mtnand, on : this pccasion, a body. of 3,000 or 4,000, Sepoys, mlny 13f whom were. the' mutineers of the so-called fighting regithents"—the 46th, 7th, 'and Bth. pie road for four or five mileS on the Benares tide of the bridge at -Azimgbur is skirted . by • a ucce,ision; jof, einbailkments, tlpds,- and,: small illage9, offer ing, a - series of portions most; ad ably : ylapted for the operations of itreg-lar roopsi and the. column and convoy were per itted to'proceed unmolested along the road until oth their flanls:and rear had fairly entered the hain &positions held by the enemy, when a tre [l. endow; fire was at once opened upon theroolumn from every point. - The key of the rebels' position onsisted in asmall village about OG yards from the road, Atropgly fortified and loop-holed, and it was o obtain possession of this decisive point that the rincipal efforts of Lord Mark Kerr were dirdcted. ut so strong was the position, and' so stubborn as the resistance, that it was not till after two ours of hard fighting, during which time the two uns were constantly in action, that it fell into our lands, our casualties amounting to 28 killed and ounded, while ,the loss of the rebels must have een very considerable, a heap of dead, full three Ifset iu height,.being found iu the main build'ng of he village. At the commencement of the action ienten(tut Hall was severely wounded, while en aged in attacking a house on the left of the nemy's position. Meanwhile the small baggage ward in rear had been hotly ,engaged, in repelling the assault of about 300 of the enemy, who, in alamed by the lust of plunder, ; and reckoning on I the small numbers of the form opposed, bad ttaCked the convoy in a manner which sh)wed ' that they thought the much-coveted prize was already within their grasp. The baggage guard, however; supported by a party of the Bays, managed to make 'good their resistance or nearly an hour, until the arrival of a reinforce ment from the column, on which, instantly assum ing the offensive, they drove the enemy from their strong position at the point of the bayonet. ' It ,was at this juncture, while bravely chargiug at the !head of his men, that the gallant and lamented Captain Wilson Jones, of the 13th, fell, mortally wounded. His death was speedily avenged, forAhe , embankment was carried the next instant, and the 'detachment of the Bays, charging the fugitives, completed their rout and confusion. The casualties on our side in the rear amounted to five hors de combat. The enemy's loss and repulse had now been so severe, that he declined to dispute seriously the further advance of the column-and convoy, though large bodies of the mutineers were seen on our left moving in quarter distance columns, and their horse in squadrons, parallel to our advance. ' ;Their fire, however, wassail extremely hot, though 'their respect for the Enfield rifle, prevented our casualties being very numerous.. Their disappoint ment must hive been most severe as they saw the wholeof the convoy, with a very few trifling ex ceptions, file , slowly over the bridge at three o'clock, to the great delight of the btler%ured garrison. A letter from Futtehghur, says :—" You will-be glad to hear 'that the Commander-in-Chief is on his sway to this place. One column comes up the left, the other the right bitik of the Ganges. The chief is with the latter. - The siege train and - a wing of her Majesty's 78th left Cawnpore for Futtehghur ion the 16th." ~ _ Whilst these preparations were being made at Lucknow, others not less significant were in pro tress in the direction of Robilcund. Coke's brigade, (with the 60th Rifles added to its force, broke " l lffround from Roorkee, and crossed the Ganges to ;attack the Bynore district.

Nana Sahib's chances of escape are becoming narrower daily ; a price of a lac of rupees and a pardon are offered for his apprehension. But the Government notification declares the reward is not to be given to the Nawab of Furruckabad, the Nawab of Bandas, Tej Singh, the rebel Rajah of Mynpoorie ; Khan Bahadoor Khan, of Bareilly ; and Waleedad Khan. OUDE. (From the Postscript to the Bombay Standard of Saturday, April 24.) . We regret to learn from our Lucknow corres pondents that the present condition and pr•spects of Oude are most unsatisfactory. On this point their testimony is unanimous. They differ, how ever, materially as to the functic naries on whom the responsibility of this state of matters rests. Some maintain that had Lord Canning car ried out the p-licy pressed on him by Sir • Colin Campbell, and, by a gener(us treatment of the talookdars and great zemin da's •of Oude, detached them from the rebel ranks before the commencement of the operations against Lucknow, we should not only have reduced the numerical strength of the enemy by more than two-thirds, but we should have recruited our own force by a valuable irregular and police contingent of many thousands, and have closed up neatly e very one of those points to which the dispersed sepoys and budmashes have made, and at which they are now re-organising themselves. Such liberal measures, practised before our uplifted hand had fallen in vengeance on the" doomed city," would have exhibited no element of weak ness. They would have been hailed as manifest ing the generous forbearance of a strong power, N EWS PAPFI-R -,- ..,_ _—. -_ ow - - , , • 7k N vi, Ae . -14 4* eater to digeritaitate_ . - —i, !..0.4 - #4*.. i.

The squadron under Lord Lyons, w hi c h left the offing of Malta on the Ist May, reached on the morning of the sth the North Channel of Corfu, where it anchored for the night. On weighing next morning to run up, a telegram from the Ad miralty reacned the ga!lint Admiral, via Malta, ordering him back to that island, with an intimation that his successor in the command, Vice-Admiral Fanshawe, would relieve him earlier than pre vious!), contemplated, whereupon, after merely communicating with the authotities, the squadron worked down the Southern Channel, and at day light ou the Bth was overtaken by the Vigilant steamer, the bearer of another telegram ordering the Princess Royal to Malta under steam, for the purpose of conveying to Alexandria, on the way to Ind.,a via Suez, the 57th It:littler - rt.

BYPOTAIENIS EXPLAINING TIIE INDIAN PALMISTRY. TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,--Lord Canning's proclamation is Said not to have been di afied in London. Its tenor is contrary to Lord Cunning's own previously known views. It required some explanation to satisfy the ex- Ministry. It was further modified after being " drafted." The explanations have not been re ceived by Mr. Vernon Smith (Lord Palmerston says). They won't produce,the letter that promises •• the explanations, or even the passages that allude to them. Upon what hypothesis can all these incongruities be explained ? By the following : That instructions for the proclamation (though not a " draft" of the proclamation) wore sent out by the late Ministry. That the terms of these instructions were so harsh , that Lord Canning 's draft is a modification of them; I and it was this modification which he was anxious to explaint when and justify. the draft, even with th ese excep ti ons iiia to the univui sal confiscation ordered, was further objected to by Sir John Lawrence, Sir J. Outram, and Sir Colin Campbell, then the additional quali fying clause was added, that appeared in the pro clamation recently published. That the private letter Vernon Smith welt% pro duce states that the explanations would be sent (not to him) but to Lord Palmerston, or some one else, That tsu a c u h t e hz la o l f the iatoryleinstructionstterstlave tboo.ecnonrfieenceia\t,ee.d, though not, as wai said last night, by Mr. Vernon Sin it b. That theMinistGr whose " spirited foreignpolicy" was his boast, is the author of the "spirited" in structions for the proclamation. Tliuse suppositions explain everything relating to the Cambridge-house plot. No other hypothesis w ill. Oue word more. If Lord Canning, in writing semi-officially to Lord Ellenborough, assu mes that the latte r h as h a d the previous " private" letters (addressed to Mr. Smith) communicated to him, has - Vernon Smith any right to keep them back I T.
