IN the morning of Life, when tit blandish ments of passion " take the reason prisoner," it is an evil more to be lamented than wondered at, if, in the vortex of deceptive pleasure, the unhappy traitor against the laws, of nature pays in lonely disappointment a fearful exaction for his rebellion in the compromise of his mental as well as bodily powers.

The sufferer who, from another extreme of in dulgence, has with unbashful forehead, wneetl debility, may learn to renovate nature, and repair his abused con stitution. The man of pleasure exposed to and suffering from Luo Venerea, however aggravated by malpractice of t h e qua d, or the concealment from diffidence, they find a certain restoration; and finally in cises where the delay of a co nnubial pledge has almost extended disappointment to despair, they offer to the martied felbale those hopes which she can rea. , onably appreciate.

FRY AND CHAPMAN'S BANKRUPTCY. Yesterday a second meeting of creditors under this commission took place at the room (No. 9,) at the Bankrupts' Court. This was the first of the extra meetings allowed by the Commissioners for the proof of debts before the day fixed for the choice of assignees. The number of creditors in attendance, or the amount of debts proved, were neither as great as might hate been expected on . a second meeting, particuiarly where the engagements of the firm are known to be extensiire.. Sonic debts were proved, - of which we did not learn the amount. Another wu•s for 4,0614, due to the Phoenix Chartered Gas and Coke Company. Proof of this was admitted by warrant of attorney to the Com pany's agent. This, we understood, was the largest debt proved during the day. • Soon after the Coininissioners had taken their seats, their attention was called to the situation of several individuals who it was alleged were cre ditors. These were the holders of cheqUes drawn upon the bank by depositors and - paid as cash. The holders of thoe cheques not being depositors at the bank, had thought proper to hold them over instead of presenting them for payment at their date, and in the interim the bank failed. The Parties by whom the cheques were drawn and paid aWay,..had, in making up their accounts with the bankers, givers them credit for the amount as if it had actually been paid by them to the holders, and thus the ainount . of their balances.as against the bankrupts' ,eStote was leSsened by those sums. The question now sub mitted for the determination of the Conimissionets• was, in what light the holders of those cheques ought to be considered ? .Whether they should be allowed to prove under the commission, or whether they should be, referred for payment to the drawers of the cheques, as the money had not been paid ? It was observed that they had no legal claim on the bankrupts, as these latter were no parties to the transaction between them and the drawers ;- but it was added, that as fur as the bankrupts' estate was concerned, it could make no difference; for if the present holders of the cheques should not be allowed to prove, it would have the effect of swelling the balances of the drawers by exactly that tunount.— The question, however, is one of considerable im portance as bet Ween the drawers and the holders of the cheques: for it would make the difference to either between receiving the atnount, or credit for - the amount, of the sum drawn for, and the propor tion of dividend which such a sum may ultimately . receive from the produce of the estate. The Commissioners said, that as the question was one of considerable importance in itself, and as it might involve claims to a large amount here, they would take till next day of meeting (Wednesday) to give their decision. Another question was also submitted. for their consideration. A creditor appeared to prove a debt of 1701., which belonged to the funds of a charitable institution. This was an institution raised by a bequest, and the trustees were (as we understood) appointed by the churchwardens and parish officers . for the time being. The creditor sought to be al lowed to prove as one of the trustees, one o f t h e bankrupts being the other trustee. The Commissioners were of opinion that one trustee could not prove without the others, or at least - their assentgiven in writing. It was observed by one of the Solicitors to the Comm . ssion, that the . parties whose names were in the bankers' book might any of them prove for the others, as they were the only parties who appeared in the transac tion. The Commissioners said, that they were de scribed in the book as trustees, and the proof must be made in the way which trustees were required to male it. The deed of trust must also be produced. They would, however, reserve their decision on the point till Wednesday. In the mean time the party applying to prove must obtain the written consent of his eo-trustees. Proof of anothex debt, being a balance in the hands of the bankrupts, belonging to another charity, and under somewhat similar circumstances (with this difference, that it Was a charitable fund raised by subscription and placed ►n the bank in the names of t►ustees), was also directed to stand over to Wed nesday, to abide the decision of the Commissioners in the preceding case. Another question, involving a point of some im- LONDON, TuEsDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 16, 1828. portanee, was also ra)ed, and st►►nJ over fur t h e decision of the Conanisioners. A gentleman appeared to prove a debt of 680/., a balance due to the Imperial Brazilian Mining Asso ciation. This Company bad ant charter, nor had it the sanction of an Act of Parliament. Its atflirs were managed by directors,, and in their name the funds were placed in the Bank, and they only, or some of them, had the - right to withdraw :dose . funds. One of the. directors was the party now up plying to prove, in the name and by the authority of the others. A Creditor remaikel, that the directors were the only parties whom the bankers had known the transaction, and they were, the only parties whose cheque for the money would be acknowledged.-- They, therefore, it was urged, shotild be alloWed to prove by one of their own body, as they were the only parties who appeared on the,bankers' boas as the depositors. The Commissioners • will give their decision on- Wednaoday. The meeting was then adionnied to that day. THE ARMY. REGULATIONS FOR TIIR ( . 05INIA Nll, GENERAL supitatN- TENDENCE, AND MANAGEMENT, OP THE SERVICE AND RESERVE COMPANIES OE REORIENTS ON FOREIGN NTA TIM . : 9. Horse Guards, Dec. 5. Regiments.on foreign statio ns h ave b een formed into six service companies and four reserve com panies, for the purpose of affording the most effec tive means of rendering those aids to his Majesty's Government, for which the military force is required both abroad and. at home. The 'service companies being employed for the protection of - the colonies abroad,' must be kept as complete as circumstances will admit, by annual re inforcements. froni the reserve - companies; and the reserve companies, while they are intended to afford . the ready means of supplying the deficiencies occur ring in the_ companies abroad, must alse be rendered available for dudes 'at hoMe.• It is therefore highly important that the strictest attention - on the part of offiCers shoidd be paid to the formation of the soldiers at the reserve compa-. nies, in order to render theta as efficient - as possible, and applicable to the duties reqUired of them. It is obviously,necessary that a due propOrtiOn of officers should.at all times be effective with the re serve-ciainpaniei, for the care, superintendence, and instruction of the men, and other general ditties. All officers newly appointed are required to join the reserve companies. With 'respect to the command of the service ail reserve companies, respectively, it must be con sidered as - a, standing rule (as expressed in former Orders) that the post of the Commanding-officer is with the head-quarters of the regiment ; and although the General Commanding-in-Chief will be disposed to grant' due consideration and indulgence to the cases of such Commanding-officers of tegiments as may return.- - home in, consequence of ill-health, or after long-continued duty on foreign stations,. yet every deviation from the principle laiddown must be . considered one of. a temporary nature only, arising from the necessity of the case, and on no account to be drawn into a precedent to the disad vantage of the service. The senior Major will, in the first instance, be appointed to the charge and command of the re serve companies, and he will be held responsible that all details are carried on, and all regulations en forced in the same manner as in the companies abroad ; but it is to be understood that the Major appointed to that duty is not to continue to he so employed beyond two years, %viten he will be re quired to join the service companies, and the other Major of the regiment will be authorised to return borne, in.• order to assume the charge of the reserve companies. With a view to the regular and impartial distribu tion of the other officers of the regiment, to the pre vention of unnecessary expense to the public, by too frequent an interchange of officers between •the ser vice and reserve companies ; and to - the maintaining, by every possible means, the efficiency of both por tions of the cops, the following regulations are pre scribed, viz. : A due proportion of officers and non-commissioned officers will always be required to embark with the " detachments which are sent out at fixed periods of the year, to complete the service companies, so as to admit of those whose health may require a change of climate being permitted to return home. Offieers obtaining permision to return home through ill health, on medical certificates, are to re port themselves, immediately on their arrival, to the Adjutant;General, in order that the General Cora -mantling-in-Chief may, upon a medical report on their respective cases, determine what extent . 9f leave of absence shall be greeted them, or require them to Join the reserve companies, and that other officers may be sent - out, when proper opportunities offer, to replace them with the service companies, according to the exigencies of the service. Officers who are permitted to return home from the service companies on specific leave of absence on their private affairs, or at their own requests, are re quired to rejoin the service companies:, at their own expense, within the periods for which leave of ab sence tnay be granted -them. Officers who are permitted to return home from the service companies for the purpose of retiring on half-pay, or of quitting the service, are to report theinselves, immediately on their arrival, to the Ad jutant-General, and also to the Military Secretary,, and to state the purpose for which they have re turned : but such permission is ir. so case to be granted to officers who apply to receive the regu lated difference on- exchanging from full to half-pay : No specific leave of absence is to be granted to offi cers who are permitted to return home for the pur pose of exchanging from their regiments, or of quit ting the service, as such result will be immediate, if a successor he forthcoming. If that should not be the case, the period of leave to be granted to such officers will be decided by the General Command ing-in -Chief, according to the circumstances of the Aervice, after their arrival, and the grounds on which 'they wish to exchange, or to retire, shall have been reported. With a view to prevent any misunderstanding or delay, when.orders are received for officers to pro ceed to join the service companies, and in order that every officer may be prepared to take his tour of duty on foreign service, it is directed, that a roster shall be kept of the officers of the several ranks with the reserve companies, and that it be considered as a general rule, that such officers as may have been for the longest period at home, or absent from the service companies, whether on leave, or with the reserve .companies, shall be the first to pro ceed abroad, when required to accompany detach ments, or to supply vacancies which may occur in the service companies. To ensure a due observance of these orders, it is directed, that on the left side of the names of the captains, lieutenants, and ensigns, respectively, in the monthly returns of the reserve companies, the figures 1,2, 3,4, &c., shall be inserted ill red ink, which shall denote the regular succession of the officers of each rank for duty abroad, when they may be called upon for embarkation.. In cases of sickness, (properly certified), or other vet) , urgent and sudden emergency, preventing the officer, of either rank, first for duty, from proceeding on service, the officer next in turn of that rank must be' substituted. The subaltern officers, acting as paymasters and adjutants to the reserve companies, are considered as exempted from the oper a ti on s f the roster for foreign duty, so long as they shall be acting iii those situations. It must be specified in the returns, against the names of such officers, in which capacity they are acting. In the selection of men to complete the service companies, and more especially those stationed in , hot climates, attention must be paid - to the age 'and constitution of the individuals, so that the draught may consist, as far as possible,,of the ablest and most seasoned recruits, and therefore best qualified to bear the effects of a change of Climate.. The opinion of the medical officer must of course be consulted in the selection. By command of the Right Hon. General Lord Hill, Commanding-in-Chief, HERBERT TAYLOR, Adjutant-General. GENERAL ORDER. • Horse Guards, Nov. 28. The Master General and Board of Ordnance hav ing represented that considerable damage is done to, the ceilings of the lower stories of the soldier's bar. ack rooms, by the careless mid violent manner in which the iron bedsteads 'are - turned down upon the floors above, the General Commanding-in- Chief enjoins commanding officers to cause due cau tion to he observed in this respect,and.apprizes them that henceforth all damages which shall appear to have been done to . the barrack ceiling by a con tinuance of the careless practice beirein complained of, will be charged against the troops. To obviate this evil, the non-commissioned officer in charge of each room must be Ordered to superin-. tend the turning down of the bedsteads at a fixed hour in the evening.

CURWEN, M.P . (From the Carlisle Journal of Saturday.) • It is this week our painful duty to announce the'delith of Jelin Christian Curwen, Esq. M. P. far this county, who died on Tuesday night last, in the 78d year of his'age Mr. Curwen had been in a declining state of health for nearly 12 months past, tkough not confined to his bed until within the last ten days. About a fortnight ago he was attacked with dysentery, wiith hurried him rapidly oif, reducing him to a mere shadoW. Mr. Curwen was born in July, 1756. His family name was Christian, and he was deseendeii from an ancient family iu the Isle of Man, of which island his eldest sun, (by his first wife), John Christian, Esq. is at present one - of the Deematers. In 1775 he married Margaret, daughter of John Taubman, Esq. of Castletown, Isle of Man, who died in 1778. He was again married at Edinburgh, on the sth Oct. 1782, to Isabella, daughter :aid sole heir of Henry Curwen, Esq. of Workington-hall; and in 1790 he assumed the surname and arms of Curwen. .By this lady (who died on. ;he 21st April; .1820, in the 55th year of her age), he had six children, the eldest of whom, Henry C. Curwen, Es q . suceeeds to the maternal estates. In 1786 Mr. Curwen was called upon by the freemen of Carlisle to come forward and assist them to resist un constitutional attempt of .Bir Junes Lowther, to destroy their franchises by the introduetion of a large body of his workmen as voters; Mr. C. at once came forward, and was elected by - a large majority of the real freemen ; but the Mayor accepted 428 of Sir James's mushroom voters, and returned John Lowther, Esq., as member. Against this return, Mr. Curwen petitioned, and was declared the sitting member by a. Committee of the House of Commons. From this time till 1812, he continued to be the popular eepresontative of the city, and had frequent arduous and costly contests with the Lowther faction, whom he in variably defeated.' On the dissolution of Parliament in that year,, - however, some misunderstanding having arisen betweeti Mr. C. and the freemen, relative to the part . which he took in opposing a cruel and oppressive bill for the banishment of Irish awl Scotch paupers, he wile met upon his canvass with a degree - of coldness as unexpected. as it was undeserved, and which induced him at once to withdraw from the contest. -Henry Fawcett, Esq. of Scaleby Castle, and Sir JaMes Graham, of Edmond Castle, were elected ; but on the death of Mr. Fawcett, in 1816, Mr. Curwen was again solicited to come forward ; and hiving oiwyed the call of the freemen, was welcomed back with great enthusiasm. In 1820 be was elected represen tative of the county, in which honourable situation he con tinued until his death. Mr. Curwen was, emphatkally, the representative of the people; and during the 40 years which he sat in the House of Commons, he never shrunk from hiS duty, nor neglected the interests ef his constituents. In the, midst of corruption and venality his integrity remained unimpeached and his independence uncomprontised. The l friend of evil and religious liberty, lie omitted no opportunity of assert ing the right of the Catholics to all the privileges of the Constitution, and of the people to a full and fair representa tion in Parliament. With a perfect knowledge of the re sources of the country, and fully-alive to the misery en tailed upon the people by excessive taxation, he was the constant and unwearied fiirnd of economy and retrench tnent in the public expenditure. To him the public owe the repeal and modification of many heavy and vexatious taxes : the agricultural horse duty, the coastwise duty on coals, stone, and slate, were repelled, the leather duty mo dified, and the salt tax reduced to a mere nominal amount, through his exertions. Anti we may justly say, in the lan guage of his address to the freemen in 1812, " that he was never allured by personal or selfish motives to sacrifice the public interest to his own advantage." From the Minister he never asked a favour for himself or his friends, and thus preserved his independence as unfettered by the broils and cabals of party, as unimpaired by time. • Active and laborious, he was always at his post; and the intervals between each Session of Pat !lament were em ployed in the cultivation and management of his farm, an employment of whichbe was passionately fond. To Mr. Curwen the county of Cumberland is deeply in debted for the improvement of its agricultme. By esta blishing "agricultural societies, and holding out encourage ment to the fat mer, Cumberland, instead of being one of the worst, has become, at some sacrifice of pecuniary advan tage on his part, one of the best cultivated counties in England. It has frequently been our lot to differ from Mr. C. in his views• as to legiAative interference on behalf cf Agriculture; but while we lamented what we conceived to be his error, we could not but admire the honesty which dictated them, and the manly openness of their avowal. He is now gone ; but his nama will be for ever asso ciated with the independence of Carlisle, and the prosperity of Cumberland. SUCCESSOR TO MR. CURWFS.. It would be seen by The San of yesterday, that Sir J. R. G. Graham, Bart., of Netherby, has resigned his seat for Carlisle, and tarred himself as a Candidate for the County. The address to the Freeholders is a manly and istraight-forward avowal of his sentiments, and a candid and modest proposition of the worthy Baronet's pretensions to the honour to which be aspires. We congratulate the County on the prospect of hav ing for its representative so able and efficient a successor to Mr. Cnrwen. Sir James possesses talents of the first order, is an excellent speaker, liberal and independent in his principles, and as a practical man nt business we /scarcely know his equal, certainly not his. superior iu the House of Commons. His assiduous attention to every thing beating upon the local interests of this county, give hint a peculiar claim upon the freeholders; his residence and family *connexions in the county, added to his inti mate knowledge of the w.,nta and feelings of the people, point him out as the fittest representative the county can have. He is not an untried man; his conduct has bee n 1314 re us for some y ears , an d w e k no w that the prinet plea he now promises to advocate are those which he has always upheld ; and we can have no tear that the future will belie the past. No opposition i s Anticipted to Sir James's electi on. Sir James, it will b e seen, purposes waiting per sonall y upon the freehold e r s i mme di ately ; and, fur thepu r p ose - of commencing his c anvass, an ivy d here on Thursday after noon. We most h ear til y w i sh him the succe ss he deserves, and which he cannot, we t hi n k , fa i l to meet with. No person has yet offered himself for the City, in tbe room of Sir James Graham ; but the general wish see ms to point to, Wilfrid Lawson, ): ail., whose manly and indepen dent conduct, in opposition t o t h e L owt h er n ominee, Col. Lushir ca ll e d) ton (dummy a s h e i s Won golden opinions from all parties, and rendered hi m an es pecial favourite amongst the Blues. That en i.u.lependent man will be elected there can be no doubt. A few evenings ago, as a lady, whose bus baud was formerly a Rontan Catholic, Was returning home from the Methodist Chapel in Oldham-street, she was at tacked, about twenty yards fro nt t h e c hapel, by a man, who struck her on the face with a h ar d i ns trument, which severely wounded her cheek, the fellow at the same time swearing that, "if he had her in his power, be would mur der the Protestant -." The l a dy being much stunned by the blow, the miscreant unfortunately escaped. --Elf" chester Courier. PRICE 7D. EAST INDIA.

RUSSIA. ODESSA, OCT. 2. The Emperor is much liked ; he fires in a quiet and unostentatious • way—his whole ex pense. amounting to about 100,000 rubles, - or 4,000/., a month. There is an exceedingly pretty theatre, with an Italian company ; but the attendance is thin. The great source of at traction is the Casino, or Club-house. The Russians are inveterate gamesters, and. the place has abundance of votaries. The garrison is small, consisting of a regiment or two of infantry, and some wretched-looking - Cossacks, who are frequently mustered as an escort to the funerals of officers of rank who die of their wounds. So quiet is the place on the whole, that I can scarcely imagine myself so near the seat, ofwar. Stores and reinforcements are from time to time sent to Varna, the vessels returning with a cargo of sick and wounded. I have already observed that a thousand arrived during the first fortnight I was here; I saw them landed; and never shall I forget the deplorable statein which these poor wretches were—many were actually black from disease. I was much struck with the brutal indif ference with which they were treated : a groan si multaneously burst from each individual of a boat load of severely wounded;as the boatmen carelessly drove against a pier. A.few of the inhabitants were attracted by curiosity to the place of debarkation ; but no sympathy was shown, no assistance of fered, to those who had fought and bled in the service of their country. The severely wounded were placed in waggons without springs, and those who could were obliged to walk ; the oftcers alone were allowed litters. Great num bers die in the hospitals. A clay or two after the wounded were landed I went on board one of the line-of-battle ships. Great. attention has lately been paid to the Navy ; the ships are built after excellent models, but the rigging is heavy. I did not, to be sure, inspect the sips under very advantageous circumstances; but I parti cularly remarked a want of system and order: the decks were crowded with lumber, and the stench insupportable. The crew were a fine body of men, but had a most slovenly ap pearance when on board; on shore their tight green jackets set them off to better advantage. The Russians have now eight ships of the line afloat in the Black Sea ; but it is a fact worthy of observation, and not generally known in England, that the crews are weak, and do not exceed 350 men —about half the war complement of a British 74. After a minute inSpeetion, we adjourned to the cabin of the Admiral, or, as he is here called, the General—for every thing is on a military footing—and partook of some bottled porter, a favourite beverage with the Russians. Steam-navigation is rapidly 'increasing; several Government steam-vessels are now in commis sion, and a steam-packet is to be established between Odessa and the coast of Armenia, for t l h s e e e c a n conveyance e d e e a o i f tohfe theoia i o nastor,s ' t f tif)ia. i e. fl ntsi i ,i s eo:B a :d i :c i rt, t uei l ilr): l ,st : iaoe e i sr: acid have have generally found them gentlemanly, unos tentatious, and well-informed men ; many o f a th reemin s i p n e l a if k ori G r, er w m it a h n t , h l e ? r e e x n c e ( l ; , ti o o r n E oi ng a li f s e h w . in A va l a l lids. y mplain much pt•rnetp the a 'c a l l ae r residents dothe want of Greeks or 'Armenians, and, having :a colouring of the Asiatic cha racter, are by no means sociable. here are no horse-races, matches—no libraries or fashionable lounges short,—in ,)flie officers contrive trivthose to kill agreeablestime at a with English military depot.

Vegetables are scarce, and very inferior, in consequence of the dryness of the climate. I recently paid tt visit to the German colony of Ni ew ,d or G from Odessa.

Cruel must have been the could have allured so many pour. creatures to such an inhospitable region as this. The villag e is,a short distance from the sea ; the houses are ex- -emely neat and clean ontside,..bntwithin bit the extreme of poverty. We visited several of the cottages, and comfortless indeed 0 4 were. I once had occasion to cross the "steppe,' which extends about 150 mileS•to the north, and produces an immense quantity of hay. What remains uncut is, I believe, burnt on th, " steppe." I bad an opportunity cf witnessing a most extraordinary sight---,a swarm of loCustt the numbers were incredible ; the ground was •actually covered and the air darkened by these destructive insects, which devastate the whole tract of country where they settle. There are • likewiSe great numbers of birds, particularly plovers, and a species of quail here called a Cou liki. Vast trains of Kivitkis, or small waggons, drawn by gray oxen, are contitimdly paSsing to the south. At a halt, the cattle are turned, out to graze, and at night the drivers form the waggons into a circle, light their tires, and ,bivonack in the open air. In winter, there is generally a line sledgeway ; the road. th'n is excellent, 'as it i , „ indeed, at all times, as the% turf is perfectly dry and hard. Nothing can exceed the extreme de solation of the pro,veet—iipt a tree, not a bit , ,h, is 10 be seen ; and, with the - e - x . ception of a few Tartar villages at long internals, there. are no signs of population whatew; . .
