Its perusal Is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, end who are conscious of having bezarded the herlth, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. - • itTelbsolntely necessary that all men should know that there are ,rinciples of personal management which cannot be violated with ut incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret sue eed the heyday of incousiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties may he mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, stud how the evil and fts consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional lerangement to which the timely aid of science cannot anply a cure.

He pretended to be somewhat of a sorcerer, ;and flied to hawk about for cols ampng the peasantry medals and rirgq, which he said had been blessed in the chapel of St. Hubert, in Belgium, and which had the virtue of curing various maladies, and were in particular a preservative against hydrophobia ; and when people refused to buy them from him he looked at them en a strange way, murmured unintelligible words, and then, with singular gestures, exclaimed, " I condemn you to repeat 25 paters and 25 ayes, and may the Lord have mercy on you! " He then stalked solemnly away, leaving the poor pea-ants under the impressionthatthe o yw er e e r d im s h be. witched ; and in their terror they frequently offered money to annul what be had done. The tribunal condemned bim to a year's imprisonment and five years' surveillance of the police.

The report of the directors just issued expresses the desire of those sent in anticipation of the ordi nary annual meeting, tolay before the shareholders the present position of the company's affeira, and to submit to then the policy of the board in refe rence to future proceedings. The Atiautic Tele graph Company was registered under the Limited Liability Act, 1856, on the 21st of October in that year. On the sth of.Decenaber, in the same year, the whole of the shares had been fully subscribed for, and in a few days afterwards the entire deposit, of 2001.'per share had been paid up. An act of, complete corporation was obtained during the last -session. The borrowing powers, however, which had been applied for were objected to by the Com mittee' of the House Of Lords, and so limited in amount, that, at the present time, the company have no borrowing powers whatever. The directors relate the progress of the attempt made last year to `lay down their telegraph cable, with the history of which the public is acquainted. After quoting the .opinione . of the commanding officers of the ships composing the telegraphic squadron, the directors ,'state that they "assent to their general principles. They think that the formuf the cable is welt suited to the object in view, and that with apparatus properly constructed and we'l attested previously, there will be comparatively little difficulty in suc cessfully laying it on the next occasion. They also agree that, iu the ensuing attempt, it will be de sirable to join, the csblea iu mid-ocean, instead of staring frcm either shore. Tbey are further of *pinion that considerable modifications are required in the paying-out machinery befere a .second attempt be made to lay the cable, and especially in that portion of it which relates to the retarding of the egress of the cable. Toe machinery has, there fore, been submitted to a scientific committee, con sisting of Mr. Penn, of Greenwich, Mr. Joshua Field, of the firm of Maudslay, Sens, and Field, Mr. Lloyd, of the steam department of Her Ma jesty's navy, and Mr. W. Everett, chief engineer of the United States frigate Niagire. The d rectors having solicited the United States govern ment to permit the return of Mr. Everett to this country, for tl.e purposeof aiding this enterprise, are happy to state that their wishes have been complied with, and that Mr. Everett is now in England, de voting his entire attention, iu conjunction with Messrs. Easton and Amos, and Mr. Bright, the engineer of the company, in advising upon, and superintending such modifications in the paying-out apparatus, as, after a series of experiments, added to the practical knowledge gained during tho late operations, may in their opinion be the best. After due consideration as to the expediency of again at tempting to lay tile cable in the month of October last, the directors concluded that the attempt would be imprudent and hazardous; and they therefore decided upon discharging the cable from the ships, for the purpose of having it carefully examined and re-coiled, and of housing it until after another sea son. To this end application was made to the Lofds Commissioners of the Admiralty, who, with greet kiudnihs, have appropriated to the use of the com pany, at Keyhem, a vacant pewder magazine, and the surrounding premises, on which the company has erected wooden tanks, properly roofed over, and suitable for rcoe:ving the cable The cable itself has been lemed tbrongh a mixture of tar, linseed oil, pitch, and beeswax, previous to its being re coiled in the tanks, in order to its effectual preservation from atmospheric influence during the winter. The premises granted by the Admiralty at lie)ham, afford also room for the convenient carrying forward of al) general electrical arrange ment,, and for pursuing important scientific in vestigations tending to their improved The manipulating staff a: e kept busily engaged in practice upon commercial messages of the 89.1110 character that would be daily passing if the wire were open for traffic, by which means they will he came thrcughly accustoms 1 to the very peculiar mode of signalling adoptedby this company; whose system, owing to the unprecsdented length of the Atlantic conductor, necessarily differs from that of any ether telegraph company. The company have accepted an offer made by Mr. John . Macinto , h, for raising the remainder of the submerged cable ; the basis of the arrangement being, that the com peller incurs no risk- or expense in case of failure ; but undertakes to pay a stipulated rate or price per mile for all cable delivered in goad order at Devouport. The length of the cable now at Devon- F ort, iucluding the recovered portion, is 2,163 miles. In addition to this the directors have con tracted with the Gotta Percha Company, and with Messrs. Glass, Elliot aid Company, for the nianu facture of 40iniles of new c able, which is now in tours of delivery. The total will thus be restored to 2,563 miles—alengtb, which in the first instance was thought to contain a sufficient margin for " slack," and for all centingenciss, but which the directors, acting on subsequent experience, and im pressed with tee opinion that no point in the com pany's operations on the next occasion should be left to uncertainty, are now disposed to think in adequate. An outlay will consequently be involved for furnishing the further length of cable, now be lieved to be necessary (about 300 miles), which, as it had never been anticipated, was not provided for in the estimate upon which the first issue of shares took place ; and the balance of subscribed capital 'being therefore inadequate to justify the directors in entering into any further engagements, it will be necessary, in order to meet this originally unfore seen contingency, that an issue of new capital be authorised at the meeting on the 18th February, and provided for without delay in such manner as may be resolved upon. As experience, however, has now fully satisfied the directors that an increased length of cable is one of those points which, on the resumption of operations this year, may materially contribute to the success of the undertaking, it is presumed that the shareholders and the public will readily assist in providing the moderate amount of additional capital required for that purpose, and for leaving in hand a sufficient balance to meet any contingencies that may still be unforeseen. It wit be seen by the financial statement appended hereto that up to December 31, 1857, the company had received on capital and interest account the sum of 347,398/. 13a. lid. The expenditure to the same date had been 301,4001. 10s. 10d., leaving a total balance of 49,6981. 3s. ld. to meet existing and future engagements. This balance consisted of 45,9981. 3s. id. in cash and securities, and 3,700/. calls unpaid at that period. The latter item has been reduced to 1,6001., by payments made subsequently. Delucting from this balance, the liabilities of the company in respect to the new cable now being manufactured, arc , and the ap proximate estimate of probable charges that will occur in carrying forward the operation of laying the cable next season, amounting to 26,0311., there would appear to be a balance of 13,667/. 13s. Id. only available to meet any unexpected expenditure. The value of the cable oa hand at Devonport and in course of manufacture is computed at 224,8321. and the stores and miscellaneous property remaining in possession of the companyhnay be estimated at 11,9001. ; making a total of available property in the hands of the company (inclusive of the balance of unexpended capital) amounting to 286,4301. The costa and expenses attending the manufacture of a further length of 300 miles of cable may be estimated, in round numbers at 30,0001. it will therefore be necessary be necessary, in ordir to place the financial affairs of the company in a state that would justify the board in entering into this further liability, that an additional amount of ca pital should be raised. And; as the directors feel coufident that they will be enabled to conclude an arrangement on fair and equitable terms with the original projectors for the extinction of all the ex tensive privileges secur el to 'them by an agreement made between them and the provisional committee on the 29th day of October, 1856, the directors earnestly recommend that further provision me) , also be made for this purpose ; and they would suggest that the requisite amount ma y be raised by the issue of new shares of 20/. each • and that authority be taken from the shareholders, at the sa me time, to convert (after the cable shall have been successfully laid) the entire capital into shares of the same nominal amou n t as the new si ,, al rhere " is Reviewing the past the directors say, no discouragement in the future. No element of failure has been developed which is not completely within the grasp of science ; no naaalnod s bst t ac i l s. e has arisen to forbid the most complete factory termination to the work 2 • on the contrary, every anticipate difficulty has be l enpractically sur mounted. Electric signals had been sent and re ceived satisfactorily through the entire conductor, 2,500 miles in length. The cable had been laid alone one of the most difficult portions of the route The deep soundi ngs o f ~v i tifthe greatest facility. the Atlantic had teen reached, and the pet feet pos sibility of commuuisating by telegraph with Ame rica had advanced from theory into certainty, when the ripening hopes of the first year's labour were suddenly put an end to by a description of accident which in all human probability would never have occurred had more time been made available for SPoRTING INTBLLIGENCE. - -,441.41414NNEZAT TZ RS AL 11S, MONDAY. - The close approach of the racing season was mani fested by the large attendance of speculators in the Subscription-room. Still the betting was very limited, and on the Spring Handicaps operations were almost entirely suspended. They will, how ever, be resumed in earnest in the course of a few days, when the acceptances will be placed] before the public. An announcement that the revised laws of bet ting would be read to the members was, perhaps, the main inducement to many persons to assemble at the Corner. These rules, which are given be low, seemed to meet with cordial approbation, and are likely to work with the most beneficial effect. Several important alterations have been intro duced, especially those which relgte tone covering of bets and the time allowed to defaulters to satisfy the claims of their creditors. Lird Derby's motion, to make void all bets on handicaps prior to the pub lication of the weights, is, it will be seen, also adopted. A rough draught of the new rules has already been placed before the sporting public, but Rule 4 has been re-amended, and in the rule referring to the scratching of horses an additional clause has been inserted. The task of revision has been accom plished by General Peel, Admiral Rous, and Mr. Greville. Brother to Marchioness and Clydesdale were head and head in the betting for the Two Thousand, 4 to 1 being taken to 751. about the former, and the same r dds to a baga-elle about Mr. Howard's horse. Layers would have gone on at the same price. 1,000 to 50 was booked once about Blink f3,,nny for the Chester Cup ; but tl,roughout the afternoon 20 to 1 on the field could have be,n Obtained with out difficulty. Blackthorn, who is really the first favourite, would have found backers at any odds over 20 to 1. The only horse in demand for the Derby was the Hadji, who was advanced five points, and it whose favour the investments amounted to about 4001.

Either of the betters may demand stakes to be made 14 days before the race is run, upon proving it to the committee of the rooms that he has just cause for so doing ; if ordered, bets must be covered on the comparing day, or sufficient security offered, and the persons refusing to make , stake shall be ejected the rooms of Tatte;sall's and Newmsrktt. If a bAtor be absent on tilt) day of the running, and there is just cause to presume that he intends to evade his engagements, a public decbration must be made in the ring, and the same posted up in the usual place, and in the event of no person be coming responsible for the same a written notice must be given to the clerk of the course declaring the bet void.. 5.

Mr. Sa l m on entered St G eorge ' s Ch ape l at the age of seven yea rs, as a chorister, i n w hi c h capac i ty he served for seven y ea rs when he was e le c t e d one o f t h e lay clerks of the said chapel, and on e o f th e c h o i r c f rt din b e u s r s ied at at Eton College. Shortly after wards he was appointed a lay vicar of Westminster Abbey, and one of the gentle men of her Majesty's Chapel Royal, St. James's ; a'l theme appointments be held until the time of his dew h. Mr. Salmon was a musician of no ordinary talent, and was universally esteemed by the profession. Abou:, the commencement of the present century he joined the ranks of the Windsor Royal Volunteers. On the occasion of his late Majesty George 111. reviewing the regiment at BulmarA Beath, near Reading, his com manding stature and soldierly bearing attracted the notice of his sovereign, who ealing Colonel Besborougb, desired him to request Mr. Salmon's acceptance of a commission in a regiment of the line. This honour, however, t e modestly &clued. Those who have heard Mr. Salmon in the "Death of Nelson" will not readily forget his wonderful rower of voice ; he retained his ficuitice and the love of his profession to the last.

The directors nutice the fact that during the late panic the telegraphic cable would have saved more than its cost to both countries. The importance of the communiettion to trade gives indications of a handsome return to the shareholders, especially when taken together with the annual subsidy of 14,0001. a-1 ear accruing from the English G-svern ment, and of an equal amount from that of the Utited States, making a total - guaranteed income of 28,0001. per annum, added to the protective pri vileges that have been auorded to this company in Newfoundland and elsewhere. The directors state that they cannot close their observations to the shareholders without bearing their warm and cordial testimony to the untiring zeal, talent, and energy that hsve been displayed on behalf of this enterprise by Mr. Cyrus W. Field, of New York, to whlm mainly belongs the honour of having practically developed the possibility, and of having brought together the material means for carrying out the great idea of connecting Europe and America by a submarine telegraph. THE LATE ATTEMPTED ASSASSI- NATION. We take from yesterday's hfoniteur the follow ing remarks made , by the Minister of Public In struction, M. Rouland, in the address delivered by him upon the occasion of presenting the prizes to he students of the Pnitotechnic anti Polytpchnic Societies for the instruction of the working classes in Paris : The Imperial family has been true to its noble traditions. Napoleon 1. led on the French people in his own steps to defend his national right, de nied at that time by all the monarchies of Europe. He placed that people everywhere. in the camps, councils, and administratioes. He loved then, wi-hed them to -be great and honoured. B , th of them, the people and the Emperor, lived with one heart, one and the same thought ; and during their strop°. halts, -when the din of battles slept, they founded together by their manners arid laws that new France which has no equal among na tions. Therefore, when the Emperor, exiled from his country, vent to die on the rock of Si-. Helena, his name continued . to live in the depth of men's souls, and his gloriou3 imege, hovering over fresh generations, received from them an ovation of re spect previoefly unknown to history. Napoleon Ili., in hiS turn, spurning _ all vulgar ambitions, and having save d th a t France which anarchy wanted to sully and enslave, came to offer the people the clasp of a pewerfol and friendly hand. Consecrated by universal suffrage, he has brought the country back to a true feeling for great things ; be has invited France to partake with him all his ideas of justice and national dig nity. In Ilia bands the flee of France has again found its ancient glory, and the as:onished world has greeted in our young soldiers the discipline and bravery of the old phalanxes of the army. So many glories and services; so much devosion and intelligence, have assured to the Emperor the love of the people; but they have not teen able to avert those savage passtone which, disowned by every nation, as they ought to b 3 by every asylum, attack princes and goveromcnts for the purpose of gratifying some frightful lust of murder and destruct:on. God has given no name to these infamies and insane appetites of the human mind, and nations only term them by the horror they inspire. Our children will refuse to believe in these lamen•a`de recitals of infernal machines scat tering,death amongst a who!e mass of collected in dividual that it t.:us might reach more surely a noble and loyal soveretn and his w..11-Icloved consort, whos) grac., confidence, and inexbaus tibe kindness conl , l not protect her from the implacable hatred of the regicides. But let them at least find, in our annals, the expression of our universal indignation. GJettlemeh, the whole mass of the peons has risen to brand the itSSI.B3II.IS. It would have risen likewise to crush their criminal success and to protect, the infant heir of the greatest popular name in modern times. I bear witness to their loyalty, honour, and patriotism ; and you all will repeat with me, workmen and mnters, rich and poor, these words which France has ratified " Contempt and maledictions upon those who dis -1 honour humanity." . ..._ LA FY AMENDMENT SOCIETY. A meeting of the members of tWs society took place lastevening at their rooms, No. 3, Waterloo place ; Mr. W. S. COOKSON in the chair. The minutes of the last meeting having been read and confirme Mr. HASTINGS read a report on a propose.' bill for providing an iudox to the Parochial Registers of Baptisms, Alarr;agqs, and Burials in England. It was proposed that the index should commence from 1750, the extracts from the various registers throughout the country from that date to 1837 Lo be furnished by the ministers of the various parishes, the cost of which to be paid by a rate in each parish. Tile alphabttical index to be kept at the General Register Office, and searches to be allowed at a moderate charge. Tha committee were of opinion that such a work, if completely and accurately achieved, would be of considerable belie fit to tree public, and would be worth the expense land trouble attending it. It would diminish the expense of tracing pedigrees and making out titles, which at present, there being 12,000 registers in England, was often very considerable, and the difficulty sometime a attending it being almost in surmountable. While they agreed in the necessity for such an index, they on several points dissented from the proposed measure. The provision for a parish rate to defray the cost of copying the regis ters was calculated to excite much opposition. A more serious objection arose as to the mode of ob taining:, copies of the register from the labour it would cast upon the clergy, and the inadequate guarantee for the accuracy of the work. The value of the index would entirely depend upon the accu racy of the transcripts, which conld only be ensured by employing careful and intelligent copyists, and a diligent supervision, which could hardly be exer cised on the plan proposed. The opinion of the committee was that a bill ought to be passed com pelling incumbt , nts to forward to Somerset-Louse the original registers, to be there copied under the supervision of the authorities, - and, when copied, returned to their origival depository ; that the transcripts so made shall be properly indexed for the purposes of reference, and made secondary evi dence in the case of the loss of the originals. The commit ee see no reason why the work, if gradually and economically effected, should draw on the re venue of hi country to any biirdensome extent. The registers would pass free through the Post office, in pwsuance of the Registration Ao On the motion of Mr. BENJAMIN JONES, seconded by Mr. HERBERT BROOME, the report was accepted, and ordered to be printed and circulated. Mr. HASTINGS called attention to the fact of the deficiency in the law relating to legitimacy, there being no provision enabling a man to prove his legitimacy unless on a question of disputed pro perty. He moved the appointment of .a committee to consider the matter. Mr. FRANCIS seconded the motion, which was agreed to ; and the proceedings terminated. --- THE FUGITIVE FEMALES IN CALCUTTA. A lady in Calcutta writes to a friend : " CALCUTTA, DEC. 24. " Thera is a committee of ladies appointed to re ceive and log k after distressed ladies and women from the Mefussi4 We have had ten large houses prepared for them, and they have b .en constantly full. We hake had to supply them with clothing and every requisite for comfort. Many come to o Calcutta with only the rags they have on, and some in men's clothes lent them ou their way dow s°l t n o f these ladies are in the most deplorable state of - health, with cmstitutions ruined for life fr3in their sufferings. We have had large supplies of beaut:- ful new clothing sent out from En o land for distri bution among th , :m. The 1 ulies an:l women flora Luc:know are daily expected, and we h ave prepare d everything for their comfortable recepti on . Th e stories circulati ng about the garrison during their long and terriMe trial a most ex raordinary. The sense of d anger was so intense that after a time h they became ca ll ous to death. For 120 days they fire, were constantly under a only 4 days passed without the lcss of FOllleO and only number. More than half the g arr i son were killed. The ladies now write down from Allahabid that the reaction and quiet of their ',resent condition is almost as painful as the sieg e it se lf. Th e t orpor o f d ea th seems to . h ave crept over . them, and all are giving way under it. Young brides of a few weeks are grown into aged, grey-haired widows, not to be recognised by those who saw them a few morels ago. It seems that some of the men even, who went through the siege without suffering materially in health, have since bunk from the reaction " 1
