With Cases and En gravings from Life, representing the various Organs in Health and Disease. The extensive circulation of this work may be attributed in great measure to the fact that the Author is the only duly qualified and legally re , istered Practitioner who for 20 years has made the Diseases wising usually from Imprudence the peculiar objects of his attention. The im pediments which so often either prohibit wedlock, or embitter and render it a state of misery, by disappointing its focidest hopes and marring its highest objects, are, though varied in form. closely analogous in reality. The mischief may arise in nocently, from deleterious influences devolved from the necessities of position—from circumstances which occurred years before the s.ufferers were horn, from accident or the in fluence of tropi-n1 climates, but chiefly from Self-incurred I A: ti n c p t i r ci e n c s, e d dating a b t a a c t k . , n h i t c o h o rnumerousud bbe instance in a s t ,utroe d by y e r e i o x d . perience. A professional prejudice, which happily is now fast disap pearing, though it still lingers with no little obstinacy in some of the more antiquated medical schools, for a long time almost ignored the morbid affections comprised under the general designation "Nervous and Physical Debility," though these affections are probably more destructive and widely pre valent than any others. The consequence of so important a department of pathology being neglected is, that sufferers from the infirmities in question, virtually rmellect from consultation with prac titioners of standing and character, are thus liable to fall into the hands of unqualified Empirics, sometimes assuming titles of Physicians and Surgeons, whose names are not to be found in the Medical Register (whereby they Incur serious legal penalties), whose ignorant meddling with the treatment of these cases render these disorders a standing reproach to the medical profession. Those who may have a suspicion that any of the observations here made have peculiar applica tion to themselves, may consider that cases are indeed rare i n w hich practised science cannot fully realise long-deferred h o pes, remove all causes of mutual reproach, and replace caolic embitterment by permanent content.

The annual meeting of the Labourers' Encouragement Association for the district of Romsey was held yesterday at the Town-hall, Romsey. About 12 o'clock the successful candidates, including men, women, and g irls, sat down to a substantial dinner of roast beef and plum-pudding. Shortly after one o'clock Lord Palmerston arrived from Broadlands, and was received on entering the hall with great applause. The noble Vis count first proceeded to distribute the premiums given by the association. They included rewards to shepherds for rearing the greatest number of sheep, to team smen for never returning intoxicated with their teams, to the best plough men, seedsmen, and drillmen, to rickmakers and thatchers, &c. Prizes were also awarded for length of service, for neatness of cottages, and cultivation of cottage gardens. One prize of 30s. was given to the agricultural labourer who, previous to his marriage, made the best provision for his maintenance. THE DINNER. The dinner of the friends and members of the association afterwards took place in the large room of the White Horse Inn, where about 80 persons sat down. Viscount Palmer ston presided. After grace had been said, The CHAIRMAN said,—lt may not be out of place to re mark the contrast that exists fortunately between this and some other countries, which are not altogether at the other side of the globe, where the Sovereigns have lost the con fidence of their subjects, and where in consequence they have also lost the throne which they occupied. Here, for tunately for us, we have a Sovereign who reigns not only by law, but in the hearts and affections of her subjects, and every day that passes, and every year that goes by, only tend to strengthen the bonds which connect our Sove reign with the people—" Tho Queen." (Loud cheers.) The CHAIRMAN, in proposing " The Health of the Prince Consort, the Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family," said that the health of the Prince Consort ought to be received with peculiar enthusiasm at a meeting of this kind, as he was not only one of the most scientific and zealous, but also one of the most successful practisers of the art of agriculture, (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN next proposed " The Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese." The Rev. E. L. BERTHON, vicar of Romsey, returned lanks. The CHAIRMAN—The next toast is one which I might content myself with proposing without saying one word to recommend it—viz., " The Army, Navy, and Volunteers.'' (Cheers.) To dwell upon the merits and exploits of the army and navy of Great Britain would be nearly as great a waste of time and words as to endeavour to prove that the suns shines at noonday, because we mast all recollect in stances of prowess on the part of both services that rival anything which in ancient or modern times has been re corded in history. (Hear.) But it is gratifying to know that their former valour, skill, and enterprise have not been diminished in the present day. We have had recently, in hose operations which we have been compelled to undertake in China, an example of the most perfect discipline, of the most complete efficiency in every branch of the service, and not only of the most distinguished gallantry, but also of the most complete and rapid success. There never was an ex pedition that was better appointed, better equipped, better supplied with everything necessary to carry on war, and war at the opposite part of the globe—(cheers)—where from difficulties of distance, difficulties of the means of transport, and difficulties peculiar to the nature of the country in which the operations were carried on, more allowance ought to be made if any portion of the service had been found want ing in anything requisite for its complete efficiency. (Cheers.) But on the contrary, we may say with pride that there never was a military and naval force better equipped, better orga nised, better conducted, and more successful than that. (Cheers.) We also have the satisfaction of knowing that they co-operated with the troor s of our ally, the Empe ror of the French, with the most perfect harmony, without a particle of jealousy, without an in stance of difference, and that the co-operation of the two was as perfect and complete as, I trust, the har mony between the two nations—of which it may be recog nised as a symbol—may long continue to be. (Cheers.) The Volunteer service is one that cannot appeal in the same way as the army and navy to historical and traditional recollections ; but, if there is anything of which this nation has a right to be proud, it is the Volunteer movement that has taken place during the course, I may say, of the last twelve months. 1 think there never was a more honourable act on the part of the,people of any nation than the organisation of our Volunteer force. It would not be surprising if at a moment such as happened in the great war with France, when an enemy was standing in great force on the opposite side of a narrow channel, when invasion was daily threatened, and when everything dear to the country and the nation was at stake—it could not be surprising that at such a moment 300,000 or 400,000 men should have arrayed themselves in defence of the threatened liberties and independence of their country. But in the present instance this Volunteer move ment arose out of no such imminent danger, but out of a deep and reflecting sense on the part of the people that there might be an occasion for the services of such men. They felt that, although wo were at peace, although there might be no immediate chance of danger to the country, yet that there was, nevertheless, wanting an additional force in sup port of the regular army and militia ; and these men, really amounting, I believe, to something like 150,000 or 170,000 of all professions, ranks, and occupations, stood forth, devot ing their time, spending their own money, giving the energies of their minds to the acquirement of military tactics. I am glad to say that I heard the other day from that gallant officer, Colonel M'Murdo, who is appointed to inspect the force, that he was astonished at the proficiency already made. lle said he had already inspected 40,000 Volunteers, who were perfectly fit to take the field, and 30,000 more in a very little time would be equally fit to take post in line. (Cheers.) It is true, we have been told—it has not been said lately—that we are not a military nation, but only a nation of shopkeepers fit to look to our balances, but not fit to take the field as an organised force. We shall not, I think, hear that again from any quarter except it be that we are a nation of shop keepers in this sense of the word, that we are a nation a great pertion of whom are engaged in mercantile pursuits. it prudent that she should leave Broadlands on so frosty a morning. There was, however, no one who took a more lively interest in the welfare of the neighbourhood than Lady Palmerston. (Cheers.) He was sure Lady Palmerston would be highly grateful for the kind manner in which they had drunk her health. After the toasts of " the committee " and " the secretary of the association, Mr. Lordon," had been duly honoured, the noble Viscount vacated the chair amid the hearty cheers of the assembly. .RAILT P I.II7BLLIG.ENCE. GRAND TRUNK OF CANADA. The report of the London committee of bondholders in this company states that the London directors, including Messrs. Baring and Glyn, had personally assured the com • mittee. that the judgment recently obtained against the company's rolling stock was not intended to be used in any manner hostile to the general interests of the claimants on the line ; that it was specially designed to prevent effectu ally any interruption to the working of the line, which might by possibility be occasioned by vindictive measures on the part of small local creditors ; and that, as far as could be ascertained, the judgment would be entirely efficacious for those ends. The committee attached at the present time extreme importance to those assurances of the secured con tinuance of traffic over the entire mileage of the company. The judgments obtained were for advances and other ordi nary contract debts, and to confer a legal power to seize the rolling stock of the line. The committee conceive that a sum of not less than £2,000,000 would be required to cover the floating debts of the company in England and Canada at the present time, including, say, £140,000 for overdue inte rest. Besides those liabilities already named, and for which funds were required, still further funds would be needed to provide the additional rolling stock, stations, and plant ne cessary to give the line a reasonable chance of competing for traffic. The committee assumed as an estimate not likely to exceed the truth that a sum of £2,500,000 in cash at least would be required to discharge the existing debts of the line, and to provide the requisite working stock. As to the working expenses of the railway, the committee were quite convinced that much information and a most searching inquiry were necessary. Assuming that the working expenses were put down at the high figure of £lO,OOO per week, it was obvious that even the present traffic of £16,500 per week, if maintained for the next twelve months, would go far to re-establish the credit and soundness of the undertaking. Such a traffic ought to yield an available surplus of £330,000 per annum, which would fully meet the £llO,OOO payable to leased lines—the £187,000 interest on first and second preference bonds—and afford a sum towards payment of interest on the other bonds. If the working expenses could be reduced to £9,000 a-week, this sum would assume important dimen sions. There was the more reason to refer to this figure of £16,000 traffic, inasmuch as it was perfectly notorious that the Grand Trunk might have added several thousand pounds sterling to its weekly returns if sufficient rolling stock had been available to accommodate the demands for freight. The committee refer to the numerous statements which had reached them relative to the extreme inadequacy of the payment by the Canadian Government to the Grand Trunk for postal service. The committee believed that that payment does not amount to £20,000 per annum, and that, even according to the most moderate rates of l ay ment for similar service on other lines, the amount of the postal sub vention should be at least three or four times the sum now paid. Suggestions had been made in several quarters that one of the easiest and fairest means of obtaining present financial relief for the company would be for the province to consent to capitalisation on reasonable terms of the an nual amount of postal subsidy to which the company might be shown to be justly entitled, They state that the Govern ment of Canada in the course of last month (November) appointed a commission of three persons to investigate the circumstances of the Grand Trunk line, and to report the result prior to the meeting of the Canadian Parliament in February next. The commission was composed of Mr. Grant, manager of the Northern Railway ; Mr. Langton, the Auditor-General of the province ; and Mr. Trudean, a gentleman employed under the Board of Works. The com mittee was led to believe that the nomination of these three gentlemen was a course which was regarded in Canada as likely to lead to valuable results, and it would certainly be the means of clearing up many questions at present misun derstood. The great object to be now accomplished was the raising of £2,000,000 or £2,500,000 sterling for the purpose of liquidating present debts, and placing the line in an effi cient condition for meeting the requirements of the traffic. This committee felt strongly that the Grand Trunk Com pany had a right to look to the Canadian Government for aid in this extreme difficulty—a right founded upon fair and reasonable interpretation of the conditions and circum stances under which £10,000,000 of English capital had been spent in conferring upon Canada the best and most perfect system of railway transit to be found in North America. The originul prospectus, issued early in 1853, bore upon the face of it a statement that the two leading London names in the direction were there inserted as agents of the province of Canada, and directors of the company, on behalf of the Canadian Government. A traffic of £25 per mile per week was promised on the completed scheme of say 1,000 miles, including the Victoria-bridge; and in support of this statement an official despatch, signed by Lord Elgin, as Governor-General of the province, was made part of the prospectus. In the several applications which since 1853 had been made by the company to the Canadian Government for facilities and for aid in prosecuting the works, the moral responsibility of the province to the un dertaking had been uniformly urged as the basis of those applications, and that moral responsibility had been in effect admitted by the language of the public acts under which assistance had been rendered to the company. And as regarded that assistance, it was most material to bear in mind that a sum at least equal to two-thirds of the whole of the Canadian Government advances, had been, by ex press stipulation of the Legislature, expended upon lines which no capitalist would have undertaken on merely mer cantile grounds. The real contributions of Canada there fore, instead of being £3,000,000 sterling, could not be justly said to greatly exceed £1,000,000. The committee were quite prepared to find that errors and extravagance might be detected in some portions of the policy pursued in the construction of the line. But these were misfortunes, perhaps inseparable from the existence of so vast a work, carried on in new and remote regions, and depending so largely upon the adoption of methods and expedients previously untried. The errors, however, whatever they have been, have fallen on the share and bond holders. The province had had the full benefit of the continuous expenditure, through several years, of vast annual amounts, and it had obtained secure possession of a line of railway transit which, under any circumstances, must promote rapidly and largely the growth of every element of wealth and greatness. The committee were fully aware that among a large section of the people of Canada the Grand Trunk line was regarded as a vast means of unfair influ ence wielded by one political party against another. It was said that hitherto the line had failed to procure adequate traffic because it had been managed not on political grounds, as a concern intended to pay a dividend, but with extreme negligence and wastefulness. In many quarters, where apparently the best means of information existed, it was alleged that under vigilant control, and dealt with purely as a mercantile investment, the line even at present would yield a revenue approaching in some important degree to its annual obligations. The people of Canada had the fullest right to insist upon the most skilful and moat economical management of the line; and their interests and the inte rests of the share and bond holders in England were in this matter wholly identical. The committee were assured by the London directors that no obstacle raised by them should impede the immediate introduction of reforms ascertained to be necessary ; on the contrary, the London Board were fully prepared, as stated in their last report of Oct. 27, 1860, to give their best assistance towards the institution of a " thoroughly searching investigation" in Canada, by means of " one or two gentlemen well versed in railway manage ment," in whom the " shareholders and bondholders of every denomination" would have confidence. The London directors had reiterated the expression of this desire to the committee, and had invited them to suggest suitable persons to be entrusted with such a mission to Canada. The com mittee carefully deliberated on this subject, and theyarrived at the conclusion that, considering the unfavourable season of the year and other matters, it woul d not be desirable to send out any English commission until after the approach ing meeting in London had been held. The committee were quite convinced that it was indispensable to the future wel fare of the company that an efficient commission of inquiry and investigation should, early in 1861, be sent to Canada from this country, fully empowered by a vote of the share holders to examine thoroughly into the present condition and prospects of the line, to report upon the best and speediest means of economising expenditure and increasing traffic, in obedience to simple mercantile considerations only, to avoid all topics of party recriminations, and to govern all their proceedings by the simple principle of being able to report to the shareholders in the course of two or three months upon the best means of rendering the line efficient and profitable. It was clear that no single person would be able to undertake such ti task and perform it pre perly within such a time. The committee considered that the commission should include three persons, one of them well versed in railway management in this country, another conversant with American, and, if possible, Canadian lines, and the third capable of dealing decisively with the whole system of the accounts of the line and with the details of supervision. Upon this last named point the committee considered that large improvements were imperativelyneces mary. The financial statements to the public required much explanation and should be brought into conformity with the accounts and details rendered by the best English lines. The committee assume that no practical difficulties would arise in completing the needful legal formalities for the appoint ment by the shareholders of the suggested commission of inquiry. They suppose that the expense of the commission would be considerable. Various schemes had been suggested to the committee for providing the present financialaid to the company, but they considered that all such proposals were quite premature. The obviously prudent course was, in the first place, to await the result of the Government commission of inquiry in Canada, and the proceedings of the Canadian Government thereupon ; and, in the second place, to await the result of an English commission of inquiry. In con clusion, the committee, Messrs. Newmarsh, Hartridge, Haslewood, Hills, and Smith, have no hesitation in saying j u t o lc o x tv ) success or failure of the Grand Trunk Rail way depended in no inlignifieantd*ce span thlrinensures which at this crisis of its history might be adopted by bond holders, shareholders, and directors, and upon the full and accurate view of the precise position of affairs which might govern the nature of those measures. SEVERE SNOW STORMS. One of the most severe snow storms experienced in Hampshire for many years past occurred on NV ednesday, and extended in an easterly direction along the whole of the south coast. The snow commenced to fall at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and continued without intermission until half-past 4on Thursday morning. The train from Solis buty which is due at Bishopstoke at 7.10 was upwards of an hour beh;nd time, and on arriving at Bishopstoke found that the up train from Weymouth and Southampton, after waiting for some time, had proceeded without it. A special train was then despatched with the London passengers, but on reaching the incline at Micheldever-bank, about a mile and a half from Micheldever Station, the ordinary train was discovered, with a heavy goods train before it, blocked up by the snow, which at that time (9 o'Clock) was between two and three feet deep. As it was impossible to move the goods train, the engine was unhooked, and cut its way through the snow to Micheldever in order to procure assis tance, guards being despatched down the line with danger signals to prevent the approach of any other train. On the goods engine reaching Micheldever a telegram was sent to Basingstoke, 11 miles nearer London, and two pilot engines were promptly sent down, and a number of labourers to clear the way. In many places the snow was found to have attained a depth of nearly five feet, and as the fire-box of the leading engine became choked up every few minutes it was found requisite to dig a passage for it before any pro gress could be made. Ultimately, after remaining station ary for nearly six hours, the goods trucks were taken in detail to Micheldever, the services of three engines being required to drag them forward. Many of the pas sengers in the train behind were exceedingly alarmed by the delay, particularly as it was known that the up-mail train was almost due. Great credit, however, is due to the guards and other officials connected with the company for the exertions they made and for the precautions they took to prevent any accident. The goods train was turned into a siding at Micheldever, and the passenger train drew up at the station at half-past 1, when its half-frozersoccupants were enabled to obtain refreshments and warm themselves at a roadside public-house a short distance from the line. One unfortunate traveller, a Frenchman from Southamp ton, was found to be so ill from the cold and alarm he had experienced that he preferred remaining at Micheldever all night to the risk of a further exposure. The train, with three engines attached to it, proceeded upon its journey at 2 o'clock, but had not gone more than three miles when the fire-boxes became choked up and a further stoppage took place. From this point to Basingstoke, about eight miles, the stoppages were incessant. The snow continued to fall very heavily, and at intervals of about 100 yards the guards and labourers were compelled to cut a passage. The train arrived at Basingstoke at half-past four, and remained there for about half an hour until the mail train, which was two hours behind time, passed. The remainder of the journey was accomplished without further obstruction, and, to the astonishment of the passengers, it was found no snow what ever had fallen between Woking and London. The train, which was due at the Waterloo station at five minutes past 10 on Wednesday night, arrived there at 25 minutes past seven on Thursday morning, being nine hours and a quarter behind time. The weather in Norfolk, as in the other eastern counties, has been extremely severe since Tuesday, when a fall of snow, which has since continued at intervals, took place. Yesterday morning a frost of great intensity prevailed and more snow was falling. The railway traffic, &c., has not yet been interrupted, but there is every probability, so far as external influences are concerned, of a thoroughly old fashioned Christmas. The snow is lying thick in Northumberland, especially in the hill districts, and on Wednesday night heavy showers were falling. The weather, indeed, has an extremely wiutry appearance. Fortunately all classes of workmen upon the Tyne have been extremely well employed, and are continuing during the winter months to be tolerably well employed, so that there is little or no suffering during the present inclement season among the poor. A letter from Edinburgh, dated Wednesday, says :-- •' Within the last 24 hours this district has been visited by an unusually heavy snow storm ,which appears to;havebeen experienced over a large expanse of country. On Tuesday several slight falls of snow took place here, but up to 11 o'clock p.m. scarcely two inches of deposit had been made. At that hour a very heavy rattling shower of hail, sleet, and snow took place, and by midnight the snow lay at consi derable depth. In the morning the deposit without drift was at least a foot in depth. The wind was off the north east (coming directly from the Firth of Forth), but as it was not very high, there was comparatively littledrift. Accounts from East and West Lothian, and from the various parts of this country would seem to point out this district as pro bably the centre of the storm, which has not been equalled here in weight and continuity of the snow-fall for many years. The storm has continued with brief intervals of clear weather during the day, and the depth of the deposit may be estimated at from 18 to 20 inches. The railway trains to day have all been an hour or two behind, and the principal detentions have taken place within 10 to 20 miles of Edinburgh. On the Edinburgh and Glasgow line three trains were blocked up for some time seven or eight miles west of Edinburgh. During the drifting of the snow into a cutting the engine of the Perth train, which had kept pretty good time in the previous part of the journey, was unable to propel the train or even to pass singly through the obstruction ; and it was not till a body of labourers had cleared the line that, with the help of the engine o f the second train, the first train passed through, the others following shortly afterwards. On the east line (North British) the chief detention has taken place in East and Mid Lothian. A telegram received from Aberdeen states that the snow is nearly two feet deep, but that the line is clear. Had there been a high wind with this excessive fall of snow, the traffic of the country would have been almost completely blockaded, and as it is, with snow still falling, and with the probability of its being followed by wind, there is no small risk of that event. In the town to-day, the locomotion, both of vehicles and has sengers, was seriously impeded, and youthful mischief had a capital day's sport in snowballing." Yesterday morning, about a quarter before one, aver i y violent thunderstorm rolled over the Northumber and coast. The lioltninc , was very vivid. It continued about a quarter of an hour. Snow was falling at intervals in Northumberland all day yesterday.

The Marquis of Dalhousie died at Dalhousie' Castle, Midlothian, on Wednesday evening, at half past six o'clock. The state of his health had for some time precluded all hope of his restovery. Having no male issue, the Scotch earldom and estates of Dalhousie fall to his cousin, Lord Panmtf.re. • His death in his 48th year is another sad instance Of ct the sun going down at noon. 'ew statesmen have ° a - 4 raised such expectations. - • P life of splendid. ' achievement he has passed . :.gut ale critical , r age when Nelson was shot de : sfalgar, when Napoleon closed his public life, and when Wel lington ended his military career, but when Minis ters generally are only beginning to put forth their powers. Lord Dalhousie had not only a large ad ministrative faculty, but also the happy art of in spiring confidence and making all with whom ho c , ame in contact s h arers i n hi s plans and fellows in feelinee It is an art in the absence of which many an abiee man has made shipwreck of his policy. How Sir Charles Napier despised it! How ho talked of the little vanities of " the little man !" He forgot that the easiest thing on earth is to sneer, and that the continual desire to carry the public along with him and to be assured of their goad opiniom which characterised Lord Dalitenejet if it might be called vanity by hi s enem i es , snst be called pru dence and g ood policy b y all impartial persons who know that even an Indiaa - t Viceroy is not exactly an autocrat, and that hita whole power is based on public opinion. There probably never was a statesman, unless it were Sir Robert Peel, and he had the honour of numbering the late Marquis among his political posterity, to whom the habit of setting himself right with tho public, by speeches, by minutes, by reports, by State papers of every sort, had become so much a matter of necessity—so clearly an axiom of goveTn ment. Everything that he did was conducted on the principle of personal frankness and public urs derstanding, a very curious illustration of which ier mentioned by Sir Charles Napier himself. When the old lion of Meeanee was sent to take the chief command of the Indian army he went with a repu tation' for impracticability and quarrelling which could scarcely have been very comfortable to his • future colleagues. On their first interview Lord Dalhousie received him in the frankest manner; he said, half laughing, that he had been told in ever so many letters) to beware of this Tartar. " I have been warned, Sir Charles, not to let you encroach upon my authority, and" he added, " I shall take good care that you shall not. The brusque cordiality of this address, which excited the indig nation of Sir William Napier, but which his brother took in good part, as he ought to have done, was very characteristic of Lord Dalhousie. Perhaps another man in his place would have received Napier with fulsome compliments, while deliberat ing how best he could co un t erm i ne Ms ,authority an thwart his influence if occasion arcan• It was part of Lord Dalhousie's system to avoid finesse, to break the ice as soon as possible) and to have an open understanding on all points. The consequence was that few public men have fought their way upwards with so little of opposition and amid so much genera..) applause. There has not been in our time a Gover nor-General so popular ; and when he left India with shattered health, many in England would have risked heavy odds on the chance of his one day attaining the most splendid position within the reach of a British subject—that of Minister. It was not so to be. The hand of death was upon glory up to him, he waste away cam et the o pacee fro that t ewsacse left of him in the vain search for health. b orn n on the . James Andrew Broun-Ramsay WAS 22dof•April, 1812, at Dalhousie Ca stle, the ~son owof the ninth Earl of Dalhousie, mor e familiarly an his in Scotland as " the Laird of Cock p en," from representing in right of possession, if not O. [ descent, the hero of a certain humorous song whose' courtship by no means ran smoothly. When Sir Robert Peel returned to power in 1841 heart had to satisfy so many expectants of a py long excluded from power that at first he could find no office for the son of Christ. Church and the con nexion of the Duke. In 1843, however, an op portunity served. Mr. Gladstone rose to talhe Presidency of the Board of Trade, and Lord D housie took his place as Vice-President. Theo, again, when the chief' resigned the presidency ire 1845, Lord Dalhousie reigned in his stead, and occupied the same office, not only during the remainder of Sir Robert Peel's term of Govern went, but also under Lord John Russell, who begged him to retain his post. This was a compliment paid to the untiring energy and remarkable administrative ability which Lord Dalhousie had displayed in the conduct of his de partment. at a time when the sudden development of the railway system and the transition to a new cemmerch , l era had created an immense amount of work that sorely taxed the resources of his office. His power of work was unlimited; he was amung the first to arrive at his office and the last to go ravay, often extending his labours to two and three o'clock of the following morning. In those years he thoroughly studied the railway system and all that it involves in the way of iutercommunication ; he made himself acquainted with every detail of outlay, of management, and of returns; he framed rules for the preparation of the legion of bills that were presented to Parliament in the height of the mania, and thus giving his mind to the great public works, as well as to the vast trade of this country, he was educating himself for the government of an empire less advanced in civilisation, and especially needing the creation of similar public works for the development of its resources. He was, in fact, after a short but active apprenticeship at the Board of Trade, offered the splendid position of Governor- General of India, as successor to Lerd Hardinge. He accepted the offer, and arrived at Calcutta on the 12th January, 1848. It is not yet possible to write the history of Lord Dalhousie's admiiistration in India. Splendid to all appearance, it must be read by the light of that bloody commentary of the rebellion which suc ceeded it. That his views were of the largest, that his ambition was of the noblest, that his faculty of direction and government was of the highest order, we do not for a moment doubt. On the 29th of February, 1856, Lord Canning commenced his reign over India, and on the 6th of March Lord Dalhousie left Calcutta. The day before his departure he received an address from the inhabitants, to which he made a very touching reply. After recapitulating some of his services, and warning his hearers that we have learnt by hard experience how a very small difference with a native Power may rapidly darken and swell into a storm of war ; reminding them, also, of the insur rection which they had seen rise in the midst of them like an exhalation from the earth, and how cruel violence, worse than all the excesses of war, may be suddenly committed by m en who to the ver y day on which they broke out in their frenzy of blood have been regarded as a simple, harmless, and timid race, not by the Government alone, but even by those who knew them best, were dwelling among them, and were their earliest victims" —sentences, these, which were curiously illus trated after but one short year—he expressed his confidence in theigcnognutainguea:n_ce„ y o o f u p h e a a N e , e e , made and. then referred to him self personally in the fol lowing touching kindly allusion to t h e future that may awa it and lt t h o a b s r b in ee g n i to t per mitted me.

On the next day he embarked, attended to the landing-place by a large concourse of friends, who were full of sympathy and sorrow. They tried to cheer as the boat pushed Off, but the cheer was a failure. They were unfit to do anything but bow a farewell. From that moment, to use his own image, the curtain dropped upon him. He had but too truly calculated his strength. The farewell which he had found it so hard to utter was an eternal one. The correspondent of the _Debuts at Turin says : —" General D enedek has informed his troops that they must be prepared for war in the spring, and that it is at Mantua he means to crush Garibaldi an d hi s a dherents.
