The Parent, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which, for want of careflil investigation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young per sons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary con sumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected.

More exalted than mere passion, it sears high above every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice, but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from its influence, er can avoid its sway ; and business, pleasure, philo sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling power of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage. When union does not take place, however, this passion, this fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life time spent in the fulfilment of every engagement, snap the very con tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind ? It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early habits, er the results of secret disease, knows himself to be disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be beyond measure deplorable 1 Loving and beloved, he entails the most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of unalloyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the attention of all. Those desirous of investigating it will find the fullest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled SELF-PRESERVATION, illustrated by forty coloured engravings on the anatomy, physiology, and diseases of the reproductive organs ; with practical observa tions ea the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting from solitary habits, excesses, or infection.

REVIZIY OF TIM WORK. La'Mert en the Infirmities of Youth and Maturity.—" There are scenes in the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but Conscience ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf into which such scenes must plunge him i In the book before as each a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the erring, without impairing ins idea that can vitiate a mind not al ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of philosophy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally, upon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and propriety. A father may trust it in the hands of his boy. By un taught innocence the book is not, of course, needed ; but wherever laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breathing in these pages is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine." —United Kingdom Magazine. . _ The work may be had price 2s. 6d., of Kent and Richards, 52, Paternoster-row; Hannay, 63, Oxford-street ; Starie, Tichborne street, Haymarket ; Gordon, 146, Leadenhall-street ; Mansell, 115, Fleet-street ; or, free by post, for forty-two stamps, from the author's vice, who ;nay he consulted on these disorders petimually, or by letter, daily, from Ten to Two, or from Five to Eight. 37, BEDFORD-SIUAZZ, LONDON.

SUMMARY.—NearIy the whole of the Lahore and Ferozepore columns, advancing by the Sutlej and Chenaub on the seat of insurrection, reached Mouifrin on the 18th and 19th o f August. Her Majesty's 32d, with three troops of the Irregular Horse, and a wing of the 49th Native Infantry, senas an escort, arrived in the camp on th e 24 t h. The battering train of 30 heavy guns reached the landing place opposite I3aha wulpore on the 19th; ten days were found necessary to make preparations for the march; they marched for the scene of action on the 28th, and were expected to arrive about the 3d or 4th of September ; three troops of the 11th Irregulars, with a wing of the 490) 1 Native Infantry, escorting them. Active operations were to be commenced immediately on their arrival. The whole expedition had so far proceeded auspi ciously; some of the troops had suffered just before the conclusion of the journey from the intensity of the heat, with the thermometer standing in the hospital at 197 deg. In one day her Majesty's 32d lost 16 men and had 190 sent to the hospital. The sickness was expected to abate or disappear when the troops got fairly established. About the 14th a detachment had been sent out from the Lahore column to close up the communication of the canals with the river, and prevent the risk of the country being laid under water. They immediately en trenched themselves, and haying taken every pre caution against surprise, set to work day and night. The insurgents datatched a party of about 1,500, with a view of attacking or destroying them, but finding any attempt upon the works likely to prove disastrous, they endeavoured to take the head-quarter column o nto meet by s t u n r e p m r e and,by a keeping night e attack. lea r of They pu shed on the artillery and irregular horse, threw themselves with great spirit on the flank companies of her Majesty's 10th and the Bth Native Infantry. After an hour's skirmishing they were repulsed in all directions. Eighteen dead and some prisoners were left on the field—the wounded were carried off. The army now around Moultan consists of about 28,000 men, , with thirty pieces of heavy ordnance and nearly I as many light guns. Of these 6,000 are British troops, the rest Seikhs, Beloochees, and Daudpoutras, &c., mostly powerfUl, hardy, and determined men, though ill-disciplined, and like most irregulars, not quite to be depended on in extremity. The army of the Moolraj is seid at present to amount to 10,000 men, with about 20 guns in all; of these, 2,000 selected men hold the citadel, determined, it is said, to resist to the last. The rest await our ad vance under the guns of the outer fortress. The Punjaub continues tranquil, though there are rumours of some of the chiefs playing us false. The leader of the mutiny amongst the Seikh artillery in the Ha zareh country is said to be determined, now that he has committed himself, to fight it out ; and it seems not improbable that a brigade will be required in this quarter so soon as the Moultan business is disposed of. These disturbances originated entirely amongst the soldiers of the old army, who find their im- portance now altogether gone, and are ready t o brave any danger, or incur any risk, to be revenged upon the authors of their annihilation, or in the hope of recovering so much of their position. With these inconsiderable exceptions, tranquillity reigns through out the vast expanse of the Company's dominions. The usual irregularities seem to prevail through- out Affghanistan—a rebellious chief here refusing to , pay tribute, a vindictive one there bent on taking the law into his own hands—with the usual circumstances for which so close a parallel is found in Scotland during the reign of the Stuarts. Details of these things reach us exclusively through native news writers, proverbial for colouring their narratives of the hue likely to prove agreeable to those for whom they are meant. In Ceylon everything appears to be tranquil. The Kandian rebellion is said to bave been designed before the imposition of the new and obnoxious lazes was made I:aa.iwn, and - to' th finance measures of Lord Torrington. The adminis ' tration in the Cinnamon Isle seems at the same time to be at present remarkable for its weakness and in capacity. The Prime Minister at Gwalior, like his co-frere at Hyderabad, seems t o be i nb ad odour—not, it is said, however, from really bad . actions of his own, but from his wa n t o f t ac t in ca rryin g on the duties of his office. A noted b a d character r ng had been deported from the state, and it was expected ot hers of his gang, then under trial, would share the same fate. A Court of Appeal bad been opened at Gwalior, but its members were said to have shown themselves ignorant of the duties required of them, an d incompetent to their performance even had t hey known them. Colonel Sleeman, our resident, was l ab ouring in his usual way for the good o f th e state, and had no intention of abandoning hi s post till he had reaped the fruits of his toil. An interview took place between the Nizam of Hy derabad and our Resident, a the t which th e f ormer com plained most bitterly of incompetency of hi. re Prime Minister, and hi s failure in fulfilling any single thing promised by him on his nominati on to office by us. The reply of Generalc Frazer was to the effect that the Minister's want measure due to th whose the mannertsuccess was in a great in which he had been treated by the Nizam,owered him openin n the ed eyes s we o d f dislike towards him had 1 the public, and so rendered himincapable of reducing off the the expenditure or clear in gdebts of th e s t a t e . The result of the intervie w was that the Minister was so far again admitted into favourmast as to be allowed to present a gift to his Royal er , as had not been granted to him, a concession such Fraser's absence I during General The King of Oude, tired a pp arently of even the few cares of royalty he hadreserrved to himself, has now delegated the whole powe f avo urite Minister, while he indul ges of majesty to his . i n a ll ma nner of pleasures in his palace undisturbed, and probably it is well for h im that such s hould be the - case. The Minister is said to be a clever man, and has set about accomplishing that which his Royal waster never could achieve —the collection of the revenues and re plenishment of the royal treasuries. So long as he furnishes the King with money to keep up his de baucheries he will retain his premiership; once let him fail in supplying the ways and me ans, and he will be hurled from the pinnacle of eminence he has now attained. The celebrated Chokra Bisshye has again been heard of in the Boad bills, where he awaits the return of the cold season to renew his operations against us. As usual, the report of fresh sacrifices havin g taken place in Boad has again been put forward in the columns of the admirers of the former Goomsoor agency. The missionaries at Berhampore are said to have had made over to them fifty of the lately rescued Meriahs. Lord Dalhousie positively proceeds to the north west about the middle of next month, and all the arrangements consequent on his intended journey are said to have been completed. His Lordship proceeds by steamer to Allahabad, from whence he will travel by dawk to Umballa, where his camp i s to be formed. Lord Gough is said to have been re. appointed Commander-in -Chief of India, and hi s Lordship intends remaining at his post for a - couple of years longer. The refusal of the Court o f Di. rectors to accept of Sir Charles Napier as - a suc cessor to Lord Gough is alleged as the reason of the extension of command to the latter, as the Duke of Wellington is said to be determined on ultimately appointing the former to the Indian Comrnander-in- Chiefship. The lion. Messrs. Frederick Millett and J. E. D. Bethune were, on the 13th of August, ap pointed Indian law commissioners; and Mr. J. P. Grant, of the Civil Service, secretary to the commis sion. The Right Rev. Dr. Wilson, metropolitan of India, is about to pay a visit to Madras, Colombo, and Bombay, a steamer being placed at his Lord ship's disposal by Government. He will be accom panied by Dr. A. Webb as medical attendant. The death of Mr. M. Tierney, judge of Allyghur, on the 26th August, is reported. It is affirmed that Sir Dudley Hill, who commands the Barrackpore divi sion of the Bengal army, is about to exchange with Sir . Walter Gilbert, who commands the Sirhind division. Colonel Benson, stipendiary member of the Military Board, is said to be about shortly returning home. The ship Kandiana, laden with coals from Newcastle, foundered in the lloogley been on the 20th August. The Hon. Mr. Bethune has elected cur a t or t o th e C a lcutta Public Library, con sequent on the departure of Mr. W. P. Granto th to Europe.

Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor amity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Gemstone, of the Herbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair's much stronger and more luxuriant than lever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs.-Weekley inserts this testimony to7the virtues of Mr. G.'s itegenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an ils. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume iti far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any 'ady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w drops en the crown of the head occasionally. every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering tho hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the mast aromatic herbs and Sowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops on the Grown of the head ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an lour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produce hair eu ehildren's heads in a few appplicatlons. If used on infants's heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence en the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See pamphlet of testimonials.

SU N 9 OCTOBER 27, 1848.7' Sir Henry Pottinger, Governor of Madras, seems to be gaining daily in the good-will of those over whom he rules. His condescension and urbanity, and the impartiality of his administration of the patronage which lies in his hands, are alike new and soothing to the good people at Madras, the late Governor having been remarkable for anything but suavity or disinterestedness in the bestowal of his patronage. The court-martial on Surgeon Mouat, of her Majesty's 15th Hussars, has concluded its investigation. The prosecution occupied fifteen days, when the prisoner read his defence, which is said to be a most triumphant one. The finding of the court has not yet been published, but a verdict of honourable acquittal of all the charges preferred against Dr. Melia is confidently looked for. Bri• gadier D. Macleod, of the 2d Madras Cavalry, at present commanding at Jaulnah, has been appointed to the command of the Nagpore subsidiary force, vice Brigadier Perry, whose tour on the staff expires on the 20th inst. ; and Colonel J. Tennant, of the Ben gal Artillery, has been nominated a first class briga dier to command the Meywar field force, vice Stacy deceased. Three companies of the 51st Madras Native Infantry have been dispatched to Labuan as a garrison for that settlement. The investigations into the recent disgraceful affair of destroying or injuring the Catholic chapel at Secunderabad by a few soldiers of that persuasion of her Majesty's 84th Foot, at the instigation, it was said, of an European Ipriest named M'Sweeny, have been brought to a close, but their report has not yet been made public. There cannot be the smallest doubt of the complicity of the reverend gentleman and his son in the outrage complained of. The extent to which they were so has no doubt been represented to Government, who will deal with them according to their deserts. Great blame has at the same time been attached to the brigadier commanding at Secunderabad for the want of courtesy exhibited by him towards the Catholic clergy before and after the occurrence of the recent disgraceful proceedings. A number of the soldiers have been punished for the share they took in the outrage—the non-commis sioned officers being reduced to the ranks. Dr. Dau beny, somehow or other implicated in the death of Mrs. Frere on the Neilgherry hills, has been escorted to Madras to undergo an examination before the civil power. It is expected the unfortunate lady's native female servant will turn Queen's evidence ; if so, the truth of the matter will be arrived at, as there can be no doubt that she is fully acquainted with the whole circumstances of the case. Dr. G. H. Harding has been elected in the room of Mr. J. Ouchterlony as a director of the Bank of Madras. Lord Falkland returns to Bombay about the 15th of October. Sir W. Cotton is just about to leave Poona on a tour of inspection into Goozerat, and will not probably return to the presidency before Decem ber. Goozerat and the districts adjoining have not, we believe, been visited by the head of the Bombay army for above twenty years. Some disturbances have of late made their appearance in some of the regiments in this quarter, which his Excellency thinks it well to inquire into in person. The Lord Bishop was last heard from in the southern Mahratta country, whither he had proceeded on a tour of visi tation. His Lordship returns to Bombay about the beginning of November by way of Sholapore and Sattara. Surgeon-General John MiLennan leaves for Europe by to-day's steamer on three years' furlough, carrying with him the respect and hearty good wishes of the society of the Pre sidency, amonst whom he has been a resident for upwards of ten years. His temporary retirement has brought Dr. James Burnes, K.H.—also a favourite with the residents at the Presidency—into the medical hoard, as Inspector •General of Hospitals Colonel J. Outram, resident at Baroda, has just arrived amongst us 'on sick leave ; he has been for some time indisposed, and has been recommended to avoid the heats in the interior about this period of the year. The share list of the Bombay Railway has been filled up to the point required by the committee before the guarantee of the court could be made available. The 30,000 shares have been Subscribed for, and the list will this day be trar,s witted to the ome Committee. Commodore Haw- kin's commission, as temporary Commander-in- Chief of the Indian Navy, has been published by Government ; together with a warrant from her Majesty's Lords of th e Ad m i ra lt y, authorising the officer at the head of the Indian navy to hoist the broad pennant of a Commo dore—red, with a y e ll ow cross an d a lion in the upper corner next the staff. Her Majesty's ship Hercules is to carry home a further batch of sculp tures received from the Euphrates by the sloop Clive. "..L.'he French frigate La Reine Blanche, Commodore Page, is now in harbour. Mr. R. Richmond, of the late firm of Richmond and Co., has been ap pointed manager of the Steam Navigation Company. The weather at Bombay has again undergone a con siderable change. Up to Tuesday evening it had been fair and hot; about ten o'clock the wind became violent, the rain descended in grand style, and has continued off and on up to the present time. Up wards of 73 inches have fallen during the season, and at least six or seven more may be expected, which will bring the monsoon up to the average of the last twenty years. The tanks and wells are all full, and no apprehensions need be entertained of a scarcity of water during the ensuing hot season. Very little sickness prevails either at the Presidency or in the interior, and the state of the crops all over the country promises well for an abundant harvest. (From the Delhi Gazette Extraordinary, Sept. 7.) We regret much to announce that Sirdar Chuttur Singh having, on the night of the 26th of August, attacked Captain Abbott, with about 1,500 country people under him, that officer, having no guns to op pose to those of the irdar, was compelled to fall back on Hussun Abdall, and it is the opinion of the British officers that they will have to throw themselves into the fort of Attok. We are assured that Captain Ab bott has proofs of Maharaja Ghoolab Singh's com plicity. A requisition left Lahore for Simlah, on the Ist, for a large force to proceed towards the disturbed country, and on the 23 inst. her Majesty's 61st, the 53d, and 3d Regiments of Native Infantry, and the 2d Irregular Cavalry, with a proportion of artillery, were ordered to hold themselves in readiness at Jullundhur to march at a moment's warning. On the 30th of August General Whish ordered Shere Singh to move off to a distance of 36 miles from Moultan. His rea sons may easily be guessed. We have also this morning received the following communication from our Bahawulpoor correspondent, dated the 3d of September " On Friday, the Ist of September, about seven o'clock in the morning, the troops of the Dewan came out of the fort to oppose the British troops, who had advanced from their camp at Mareeseethul towards the t own, and taken up a position at match lock distance from the walls. An engagement oc curred, which lasted for some time, when the Moul tanese being beaten back with great loss, took refuge in a ravine known as Sheedee Lal ka Karewa,' close to the walls of the town. Nothing occurred during the night. You shall receive further infor mation the moment I hear." MOULTAN. (From the Overland Bombay Times.) In our last summary we traced the advance of the two columns moving on Moultan close to the place of their destination, their progress up till then having been uniformly auspicious. We now resume the narrative at the point where it was a fortnight since broken off. The head-quarter column, under General Whish, had proceeded from Lahore direct, and de scended the Ravee and Chenaub. It consisted of her Majesty's 10th, and a troop of artillery—the former of these having been conveyed in boats—the 7th Irre gular Horse, and the Bth and s`2d Native Infantry, marching by the left bank of the river. By the 12th of August they had got within six marches of Moultan. The camp was attacked on the 16th while sixteen miles from Moultan. About ten at night heavy firing was heard in the direction of the fortress. About midnight the Quartermaster -General rode into the camp of her Majesty's 10th, and told the commanding officer to be prepared for an attack. The tents were struck in a moment, and at two in the morning the enemy opened their fire. Finding themselves in front of the cavalry and artil. lery, they boldly advanced on the flank companies of the infantry thrown out to receive them. They were saluted by a heavy fire of musketry, when they re tired. The skirmish lasted about an hour and a half. The insurgent force was understood to amount to be twixt 1,000 and 2,000 ; they carried off their wounded, but left 18 dead and some prisoners be hind them. They appear to have expected to catch us off our guard or with our hands full preparing for the march. It was a bold adventure of the Moolraj to send a detachment of this size to his rear, with 20,000 of his opponents on his front and on his flank. The light companies of her Majesty's 10th and the Bth Native Infantry were the only troops on our side engaged ; we had seven or eight wounded, but no one killed. The column now moved on, a n d in two days more reached their encamping ground near to Moultan, where on the 1 9th they were joined by the leading detachment of the Ferozepore brigade. Turning for a little from this to the march of the other troops. The Ferozepore columnn,con sisting of the battering train of 30 heavy g uns, her Majesty's 32d Foot—both of which proceeded by water—A troop of liorse Artillery, the 1101 -.4 J, and 11th Irregular Cavalry, the 49th, 61st, and 72d Native Infantry, got nearly as far down as Bahawul pore, by about the 12th of August, and took the route direct for Moultan. On this latter date they were encamped at a place called Kurrumpore. Cap tain Master, commanding the Irregular Horse, here received orders to move with three troops and a wing of the 49th Naive Infantry to a landing-place near by, to stop the fleet of boats with her Mejesty's 32d ; the remainder of the brigade was desired to move di rect on to Moultan, then five marches distant. The other wing of the 49th and the residue of the hone were ordered to the landing-place lower down, oppo site Bahawulpore, to escort the train, ordnance stores, and heavy baggage. Hitherto all had gone on well, but shortly after the heat became tremendous—tl e thermometer in an hospital tent attempted to be cooled by wet blankets stood at 127 deg. ; in hill tents it could not be reduced lower than 118 deg. As already stated the body of the force reached Moul tan on the 19th, and joined the Lahore column ; her Majesty's 32d, with the wing of the 49th and 11th Irregular Horse escorting them, were five days behind. On the 24th August the European corps lost from the heat 15 men, and sent 200 into hospital, where there had on the preceding day been only 10 sick. The battering-train had reached its landing place on the 19th; 10 days were occupied in prepara tions for the march, and they moved on the 28th. The guns would reach their destination in six days, and active operations be commenced im mediately. The country round Moultan owes its fertility entirely to artificial irrigation, the wat e r being condu c t e d b y cana l s from the Chenaub, and distributed in little rills over the fields—wells are abundant everywhere. On the occasion of the engagement of the Ist of July these had formed the chief strongholds of the enemy ; and as the river was pow near the period of flood, it was feared the country might be inundated. To prevent this, a party of 100 workmen were detached from the main column on the 14th, and placed on board the steamer Conqueror, with an abundant supply of entrenching tools, An escort of 1,000 Sikh soldiers, with two guns, commanded by Mallee Singh, accompanied them, and were directed to establish themselves near the mouths of the canals. Opposite one of these the steamer achored in five feet water, and directed her heavy guns on the banks. The party of the Sikh commander threw up a strong entrenchment of about 400 yards long from one canal to another, and placed their heavy 26-pounders in battery so as to prevent the consequences of surprise. An embankment across the canal was commenced by sinking a boat loaded with faggots and earth, but the banks being of sand, the. force of thelwater quickly carried the whole away. Another was now begun at the mouth of the large canal. The current here was very violent, carrying off the earth almost as rapidly as it:was thrown in, so that it was necessary to labour night and day. It was hoped that in a short time the cutting off the water by all the canals would be successfully corn pleted. It was against the embanking party that the detachment which attempted the surprise on the 16th was understood to be directed, but finding them in a position where there was no hope of attacking them with success, they directed their efforts against the main column. With preparations so overwhelming on every side of him, it is wonderful with what determination the Moolraj holds out—with how much constancy his men adhere to him. He is said to have 10,000 in all under his command ; of these 8,000 are outside, and 2,000 chosen heroes within the walls, who are determined to sell their lives as dearly as possible, and to fight to the last. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CHRONICLE.—Mr. Hudson's reply to the address of the Liverpool shareholders, in the Midland Railway Company, has probably ere this, been read and com mented on in every tavern and counting-house, in every place where men congregate, and newspapers are read, between th e Ch anne l an d the Tweed. At a moment like this, of extraordinary panic and confu sion, Mr. Hudson stands appropriately forward, as the champion of those potent bodies. When the Railway King speaks of the affairs of his own realm it is worth everybody's while to listen. And, amidst the agitation and terror which now prevails through. out every province of his kingdom, it is hardly need , ful for us to call the attention of his distracted subjects with any prolixity of comment to the speech from the throne. Mr. Hudson writes with the air of a a than whose character for integrity has been as sailed by imputations which his conscience tells him are unfounded. W e cannot say that he is in the wrong. It is true that, in the administration of the affairs of those great companies, cases may not un frequently occur w h ere a defect of judgment may lead a perfectly upright man into mistakes, which those who suffer from the consequences of the error may not be slow to stigmatize as crimes. The lines ;which separate legitimate speculation from gambling, become here, and there, too fine and faint for the eye of conscience to pursue; and imprudence, viewed in some lights, looks more like improbity than it really is. But, until we are furnished with some satisfactory reasons for believing that the directors of the Midland Rail way have been guilty of either the one or the other, we cannot censure Mr. Hudson for assuming a tone which the facts of the case may justify to the fullest extent. Of some among the points urged by the Liverpool shareholders, Mr. Hudson disposes unan swerably. To others, which involve, in his opinion, an undue meddling with the directional functions, he responds by a wave of his sceptre, " Stand off, gentle men ; you are trespassing on the province over which our discretionary powers extend. Within these limits we admit of no interference." On this head we shall merely say, that the latitude of authority to which he lays claim is not, in our judgment, un• reasonably large. He demands, and he has a right to demand, the particularization of specific instances of dishonest management. He has a right to demand it, we say, because the memorialists _have chosen to put themselves in the wrong by hazarding imputations which, if supported, must damage their directors' characters it' unsupported, their own. But the general body of shareholders, on their side, have a right to be put in possession of 'the data by which alone these charges, if true, can possibly be substan tiated. Into the general remarks on the depreciation of railway property with which he concludes his reply, we shall not now enter. Here he quits his vantage-ground, repudiates all responsibility, and disclaims all authority, save that which attaches to his individual sagacity and experience. The duty of a body of directors, he says , is "to obtai n a ll th e traffic they can, and pay the shareholders good divi dends." The value of the definition depends on the sense in which it is practically understood. If it be extended so as to include a long-sighted regard to future contingencies, and a due precaution against the temptation to sacrifice future to present income, it is true enough. The director has nothing to do with the speculative value of the stock of his railway ; his business is to make the property itself, the railway and its appurtenances counting amongst them the opportunities of possible profit which it opens up, so far as those opportunities have an appreciable value—as valuable a property as possible. His business is not with the share-list, but among the books of his company. For ourselves, we have but one word to say on a subject on which a vast deal too much has been said already. We, who are not blinded by the panic ourselves, and have no inducement to throw dust in the eyes of others, can see abundant reasors, and good ones, to account for the depreciation which railway property has under gone, without assuming th a t th e whole system is a mass of rottenness, and the governing bodies so many juntas of unscrupulous speculators, who have gambled away their shareholders' money for their own ad vantage. Railway stock, like all other stock, is a com modity the value of which must fluctuate with the rise and fall of public confidence, and the ebb and flow of the money market. Like other stock, too, it represents in itself merely the chances of profits to arise from a substratum which may possess more or less of a permanent money -value. The sub stratum of a railway share may turn out to be so many thousand acres of stone and g ravel, and so many thousand tons of old iron, or it may be a frequented highway returning a hand some profit to carriers and toll-proprietors. The traffic returns of the current year are the only test we have to guide our judgment; and they are encourag ing. Still there is the element of uncertainty, and, in a time of panic, that is enough. There is, too, a general belief that the money which remains to be laid out, and which is now in the shareholders' pockets, will not augment the aggregate traffic of the country in the same ratio, or produce, in proportion to its amount, as remunerative a return as that which has been already called up. The value of this proba bility can only be estimated by a comprehensive re view of the different projects which remain to be pro ceeded with. Lastly, railway stock has been gambled with to an extent of which we have had no precedent in England since the days of the South Sea Scheme. The consequence is, that a vast quantity of it has got into the hands of persons unprepared to meet the liabilities which it entails on the holders of it. An enormous proportion of the shares which have lately been thrown into the market has been sold, as every banker knows, either to enable the holders to pay calls on their remaining shares, or by mortgagees driven to realise their securities by the fall in price which every attempt at realisation a the effect of ace ." rating. These are but/a,fe4 out of the many c sea of depreciation which - present therasel :es - ; s with these alone (not forgetting the gene pression in the price of all securities, and the feverish state of the commercial pulse), we need he at no loss to account for the supposed evaporation of a considerable atnoient of the aggregate wealth of the nation. In fine, the directors of the principal companies propose teelay be fore their constituents, immediately, a detailed state ment of the assets and liabilities of their several un dertakings. When this stat emen t appears, we shall lose no time in subjecting it to a careful and impartial scrutiny. Until it is in the hands of the public, we deem it both rational and just to suspend our judg ment, and we would advise shareholders, for their own sakes, to follow our example. TlMES.—There is not, probably, to be found in any capital city in Europe so beautiful a spectacle as that which is seen from the centre of the Plbce de • la Concorde at Paris. The simple al chitseture of the Chamber of Deputies rises on the one side, and the Colonnade of the Aladeleine upon the other. Behind is the Palace cf the Tuileries, a pile of build ing which not only rivets the eye but interests the imagination, as the point of origin of all the move ments which have shaken European society to its foundation for the last sixty years. In front stretches the avenue of the Champs El, sees, with the Bar mere de l'Etoile in the distance, a limit which fixes without embarrassing the attention. From the central point we have indicated, should a stranger to the French capital pursue his walk down the Rue Royale to the gay Boulevard de la Madeleine, and thence along the line of the Boulevards, with their theatres, their cafés, and their promenades, collected from every country in Europe—he would behold a sight to which no town in Europe, and most certainly not London—could furnish a parallel. We, a people of indoor life, may make this admis sion without shame, and acquiesce cheerfully in our shortcomings when we find Madrid, Vienna, Berlin, Dresden, Rome, and Naples placed in the same cate gory as ourselves. The chief city of the three kingdoms is not a ten hours' wonder. It requires tq, be inhabited and studied before its capacities are appreciated and understood. We cannot hope to attract the eye of the passing stranger so much as to interest the understanding and awaken the re flection of thinking men. We have seen with great satisfaction the visit of the National Guards of Paris e to London. Their presence in our capital City has probably appeared stranger to us than the strange town and the strange people to themselves. They came upon us unawares. Had longer warning and ample opportunity been given to the civic authorities, we believe they would have welcomed the coming as satisfactortly as the South-Eastern Railway Company - have sped the parting guests. Such points as these, however, desirable as they may be, as eviden ce o f courtesy and good w ill, are but of slight importance in comparison with the peace and tranquillity which these strangers must have seen pervading the public places and streets of a metropolis which, on the lowest calculation, contains double the number of the population of Paris. They cannot, one would think, however much they may have regretted the absence of a certain dramatic effect which distinguishes the Parisian boulevards, but have been struck with the fact, that whilst in every capital city throughout Europe the hand of each man is against his fellow, in London alone commerce, trade, and credit main tain their usual and uninterrupted course. Take St. Paul's, and describe a circle of five miles' distance from this centre, and in this space would be con tained the most numerous myriads of human beings, with all their complicated interests and passions, to be found in the same area in any civilised country. How is it, then, that whilst Berlin and Vienna, the two principal towns of a population of forty millions, who have attained no mean eminence in war, in science, and in literature, are trembling on the verge of another conflict, in which father and son, brother and brother, will stand arrayed against each other in hostile ranks ; and Paris, too, is threatened with re newal of scenes we would fain expunge from the records of history—that London continues unshaken by the universal tumult ? This is no time for self gratulation, but the most susceptible patriotism cannot take offence at the recital of bare facts, when it is of such awful importance that from them the correct inference should be deriyed. We will not here repeat those declarations which are the common-places of the hustings and the public dinner. We will make no boasts of in stitutions which have been very faulty or we should not have amended them ; nor of laws that we ourselves have pronounced unworthy of the refinement and humanity of modern ideas. There is, however, one point in the spirit of the English people to which we should wish the attention of every in telligent foreigner to be directed—our aversion to change by open violence and armed force. That which out of the limits of these islands cannot be un derstood is, that twelve men should be placed in a jury box, and should sentence a thirteenth to the scaffold or to deportation, not for holding opposite opinions to themselves, but for endeavouring to establish those opinions by violence in the public streets. Great social changes are of slow growth, and undue preci pitation in effecting them leads rather to their inde finite postponement. It is of course impossible to suppose that in the course of a few hours' visit to- London the National Guards of Paris should have succeeded in comprehending the spirit apd springs of action of a numerous people —we have formed no visionary expectations of this sort. We simply hope that the knowledge of effects may lead them to study causes. Let them endeavour to explain it how they will, there is a great practical contrast between the outward aspect of Paris and London. We have no rival flags, no cannon in the public places, no camps, no bivouacs, no rolling drums, no glittering bayonets. Paris is controlled by armed legions, London by the truncheon of a policeman. We hope that our late visitors may endeavour to explain this fact to themselves. That is the practical benefit to be derived from their journey to the metropolis of England. Before concluding these few remarks on so interesting a subject, we should add, in justice to our visitors, that travelling Englishmen would do well to borrow a hint from the method in which the National Guards occupied themselves during their short stay in London. It is not too much to say that during their short sojourn amongst us they have seen more of the outward features of a strange town in a few days than most Englishmen do abroad in as many weeks. Cabs laden with National Guards, in side and out, have been seen in the remotest quarters of the town. The polite Belgravia and the forlorn region of Bethnal-green have equally been penetrated by the enterprising invaders. The courts of justice, the police-offices, the Exchange, the coffee-houses, the clubs, and the theatres, have been in turn ex plored. We will not criticise too closely the advan tages of a personal impression, but it has its value. Certainly no body of men ever more conscientiously endeavoured to see as much of London as could be seen in a few hours as the National Guard of Paris within the last few days. We can but express, in conclusion, a hope that the result of this visit to our capital of many hundreds of the armed citizens of the French metropolis, who are engaged in the arduous task of restoring the supremacy of law and order, may not be altogether unproductive of solid advantage, as well as of momentary interest and amusement. THE CORN TRADE. BIRMINGHAM,I THRRSDAY.—At Gloucester market, on the 21st, the Wheat trade ruled dull, at the currency of the previous week. At 'Worcester, the same day, the sale was slow, at rather higher prices. Fine Barley ils per quarter higher, inferior rather lower. Oats and Beans offering at a reduction of 6d to is per quarter, without finding buyers to any extent. Peas in fair de mand. During the present week a fair business has been done in Wheat, at fully previous rates. Barley nominally unaltered in value, but less in request. Good White Oats sell readily; but inferior, also black, are .difficult to dispose o f. B eans in fair request, and lower prices are not submitted to. Peas held for some ad vance, which has checked the sale. At this day's mar ket there was a f a i r supp l y of Wheat, and line new realised an advance of is per quarter. Oats a slow sale, but lower prices were not submitted to. Beans more in demand, and Egyptians held for some improvement. Peas fully as dear. BRISTOL, TIIIIRSDAY.—There has been an average supply of English Wheat. Prices are steady for old and dry new samples, with a fair demand, whilst inferior lots of new are very unsaleable, though held with more firmness, but higher prices not obtainable, and the sale slow. The demand for Flour is rather better this week, without alteration in price. Of malting Barley we have this week liberal supplies, both coastwise and foreign, and previous value has, on actual sales, given way 1s to Is 6d per qr. New Oats dull. Middling qualities of white 6d per qr lower, and undried black very unsale able, and fully is per qr decline. Beans rather dearer. English old Wheat fetched 54s to 58s per imperial quarter. English new 46s to 50s per imperial quarter, foreign white 57s to 60s per 4801bs, ditto red, fine qualities, 52s to 55s ditto, ditto ordinary ditto 41s to 50s per 410Ibs, ditto hard 48s to 52s ditto. English Malting Barley brought 34s to 38s per imperial quarter, ditto and foreign grinding 25s to 30s per 4001bs. Devon and Welsh Oats 18s to 18s 6d per imperial quarter, Irish white 20s to 29s per 3201b5, ditto black 17s 3d to 19s 6d per imperial quarter, foreign ditto none. Beans, English, 32s to 38s per 4801bs. English Flour (seconds) 39s to 41s, American, &c., sweet, none. The arrivals have been during the week as follows:—From (Jronstadt, in the Humby, 900 quarters of Wheat; from Odessa, in the Sovereign, 1,860 quarters of Wheat; from Cork, is the Juverna, 500 sacks, 330 quarters 150 barrels of Oats; from Waterford, in the Victory, 320 sacks, 100 quarters of Oats, 50 quarters of Barley; from Yarmoth, in the Glory, 615 quarters of Barley. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, OCT. 25.—The sugar market presents still but a dull aspect—the continually falling accounts from Loudon causing buyers to be very cautious ; still there is a fair demand for refining sort s , of which there are very few on show, and upwards of 100 hhds. West India have been sold to-day, a t f ormer rates. Sales for the past week are about 400 hhds, and tierces.—Bristol Gazette.
