'Cho essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, ehich have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man ed, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any e her class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is 4rticularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of Er eir physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled: ;t is absolutely necessary that all men should know, that there are einciplea of personal management which cannot be violated without lit:erring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed -es heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties -ay be mitigated, hew the sting of their bitterness may be removed, fed how the evil and its consequences maytxf avoided, and above all, at there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional terangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. she Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive rectice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have uatortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant emeiries, who inflict great iLljtrZY on those who are induced to place filth in their pretensions.

THE CLOSE OF THE HARVEST.—Tbere are few districts in Devonshire in which the harvest is not now com pleted ; and the accounts from almost every quarter are of the same satisfactory nature. The grain crops generally have been exceedingly good, and, on the whole, above the average. The wheat crop varied somewhat in different localities, but except in a few instances there hag been little cause for complaint. Smut made its ap pearance here and there, but it did not extend far, and consequently caused little injury. On the whole the yield was large, and the grain exceedingly good. Earley and oats have also been a good crop, though there have been more variations than in wheat. Potatoes are un fortunately affected with the disease, though not to such an extent as has been generally reported. Still there is no denying that it does exist, and it has already had the effect of raising the price. The crop of apples, to which great attention is peid in Devonshire, is, generally speaking, much below the average, the orchards in many places having scarcely any fruit on the trees. - "---e- - ;/-f _ , ....., J r_ . • _.,er..' - e .

You will please, also, at the same time exert yourself to discover the quantity of corn, the remains of the last "rweat, which is still in the hands of the farmers or merchants. For this purpose censult the most experi ettwti men among the chiefs of the various departments. Neg!oct no useful information upon this important mat ter, and keep me regularly au courant with all that relates to it. Another object for y our ass id uous care should be to Seek the most efficacious and practical means of remedy inz the privations a n d sufferings of the working classes, which are se,. worthy of interest. For this purpose it cwat ith will be h th e e at l y ia o lb shouldu neri of c p ( l ) a m ce m Y er o c u e rs a el u f d the irie agri mu c n u i l - - terai cenrnittees of your province. These, composed of men well acquainted with th e moral and ece nninical situation of the working men amongst w,,oni they live, are epecially corn! etstit to give an n on the general measures which should be pre pared or taken at once. These bodies will probably h e able also to give yon useful information respecting the gupplies of lood which may be expected from abroad to make up the 4efieiency of our harvest. They may a!so exercise a happy influence upon the merchants and rua nufaaturers, the proprietors and the farmers of their dia'riotg, in order to confirm them in their berevolent feelin?.s towards the labouring classes, and engage them to asgero to the latter the benefit of a salutary patronage. In diition to general measures, the adoption of A h ' iCh it may be proper to decree, there are others which by thilr character are better adapted to particular si , uation , . iq essential that from this time forward you should fix the attention of the communal authori ties upon measures suited to diminish the distress of tie masses, and which have been applied at former ,/ochs not without success. Solicit the aid of the clergy, which has never failed ia its ministry of peace and charity, and the moral ascendancy id which among our working p )pulation is sa legitimate. The tureaux de bienfaissance constitute a most devoted machinery ; its aid should be sought with confidence and accepted with gratitude. Where private associa tions exist ; or nay be formed, with a charitable aim, it is proper to facilitate their organisation and encourage their development. The intervention of provincial me dical committees is also very desirable, and we cannot sufficiently second their efforts to ameliorate the sanitary condition of our principal centres of industry. The markets should in a special manner engage your attention, and that of the communal administrations. While combating those prejudices of which the corn trade is too often the subject, it is proper that you should watch thatno manoeuvre calculated to influence the prtoe of food should be tolerated, and that sellers, as well as buyers, shall have the fullest security in these transac tions. The high price of produce makes it more than ever a duty of the administration rigorously to watch over its sale; from the double point of view'both of quality and quantity. For the sake of justice and humanity it will be n ecessary to live e very family guarantees against odious adulterations (odieuses sopkistications), and against fraud in the use of weights and measures. I still hope, Monsieur, that shortly, when agricul tural produce shall be supplied in greater abundance for consumption, prices will undergo considerable reduction. prudent, however, to make preparations for a leis satisfactory eventuality. I reckon on your devoted as sistance, and am persuaded that yon will neglect nothing to stimulate in your turn the zeal and activity of ail those whose aid you require for the accomplishment of the difficult mission which circumstances impose upon us all.

LONDON, MON DAY EITSNING, SEPTE'XIBEit. 1855. cleverest of the generation, and who has fre quently remonstrated with his Majesty on the mischiefs he was running into, has often been thought of, .but his - violent dislike to the pre sent Emperor of the French is said to have re conciled .him to his brother by the ties of sym pathy,' and thereby excited suspicion as to how he himself might exercise power. The IVluratista and Republicans .would, of course, root out the present dynasty • without remorse, though they differ as wide as . the Pole& as to what should follow in the form of Government. In the midst of this conflict of opinions the son of the Prince of Capua appears to offer a mezzo termino. The young man himself is very highly spoken of as amiable, accomplished, and highly favoured by nature in good looks. He is, as will be recollected, the issue of an alliance between the power fal houses'of Bourbon and Smith—the former as evidently in a state of decadence in France, Spain, and Italy as the latter is notoriously flourish ing in every part of the globe, and therefore he seems to present in his own person a fair compro mise between the old. and• the new systems—be tween divine right and the will of the people—and might reasonably be expected to inaugurate the reign of " progress" without violently disturbing existing interests. He would be no parvenu among kings. while, owning clanship with men distin guished in every branch of literature, science, or arts, hi 4 arms a coat of frieze turned up with cloth of gold. _ _ The Prince of Capua has never visited Naples since his marriage, I believe, and for many years has never received any income froth bii,property, which the King sequestrated in consequence of that marriage, refusing to recognise the wife as Princess, but offering her any other title, and a restitution of the property on her renouncing all claims to such position. This the lady absolutely and resolutely refused, and her husband has ho nourably resisted all temptations of riches to aban don her, and through poverty and difficulties of no small amount has continued faithful to his word to make her his lawful wife. As the son has now been mentioned as one of those who might be called on to assuniue the purple, it seems necessary to state these facto, which tend to make him more than any other named the probable origin of a general reconciliation. SPIRIT OP THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. (From the Times of this day.) The eagerly-anticipated despatch of General Simpson, which was forwarded from the seat of war with so much haste that the steamer which brought it did not wait for Marshal Pelissier's report, presents us with a very mo dest, and, we must add, a very meagre narrative of the crowning operation of this eventful siege. We have no doubt that on this, as on most other occasions, both the Government and the nation will be mainly indebted to the correspondent; of the British press and to private communic:ttions for a more complete and accurate pic ture of that extraordinary and awful struggle which finally plaited the stronghold of the Russians in the hands of the Mlle arm'ei. On the present occasion therefore we shall confine ourselves strictly, like General Simpson, to the military details of that part of the attack in which the British. forces were engaged. After this progress which had been made early in the present month in advancing the works of the besiegers to the furl hest limit against the principal defences of the enemy, and in arming these batteries with the guns and projectiles required for another general bombardment, the engineer and artillery officers of both armies re ported that the assault of the place ought to be made on the Bth, having been preceded by a heavy fire for three previous d ays. The opening of that fire on the morning of the sth has already been described with his usual feli city of expression by the correspondent of this journal, who witnessed the scene from Cathcart's-hill. The sun rose that day clear and ruddy over the forts of Sebas topol. It was the last gleam of light and hope which shone over the doomed but untaken city. Upon a signal from, the French lines the entire circuit of the works of the, besiegers poured forth an intolerable and incessant storm of fire. The armament of the batteries had become -so ponderous and so extensive that even Sebastopol, with the 4,000 cannons remaining in its arsemals, responded to the fire in vain. No stop, no breathing time, allowed the enemy to repair the damage inflicted upon their batteries, or to remount fresh guns, and at last the superiority of the fire of the attack was decisively €alitablished. The preparations of the allied armies were completed for the assault in the night of the 7th and the morning of the Bth, the cannonade not having ceased until just before the French storming coltunns:coranwapsi4heir attack. Thee operations of the whole army, both in the British attack on the Redan and in the French attacks ou the Little Redan.and the Central Battery, were made to depend on the success of the French assault on the main position of the Malakhoff, and the tricolour planted on the parapet of that work was to be the signal for the general ad ranee. General Simpson appears not to have thought th at it devolved upon him to report on the whole of the arrangements of this combined'operation ; but it is evident that Marshal Pelissier had long made up his mind that the capture of the Malakhoff was the decisive event of the siege, and that he had resolved not to fail in attackin g that position a second time. The event has fully justified that opinion, which was held from the first by Sir John Burgoyne and many other officers ; but, as the main strength of the attack was justly and success fully directied against the Malakhoff, it is not equally clear for wl'ant reason, after that work was in the posses sion of the _Trench, other secondary assaults were made by both armies against points of inferior importance. Such, however, was the case, and the Russian s were more succeissfulin their defence of the Redan and of the Central Battery than of the Malakhoff. It seems to have been determined, however, that the whole army should share in the glorious perils of the day, and the French assarlts on the extreme left extended even to the Quarantine Battery. In pursu trice of the arrangements made by Lieuten ant-General Sir W. Codrington, now commanding the Light Division of the British army, and of Lieutenant- General Markham, commanding the Second Division, the assaulti.ug column to be directed against the Redan was selectech from these two corps, which have borne so very large a portion of the sufferings and losses of the campaign, ar, , cl have covered the regiments belonging to them with inconiparahle distinction. The whole column consisted of but 1,000 men, preceded by a covering party of 200 men and a ladder party of 320, so that, as far as this succinct statement of the Commander-in-Chief gives us any clue to the events of the day, only about 1,520 men of the British army were engaged ! The column penetrated into the salient angle of the Redan, where a sanguinary fight was maintained for nearly an hour with the enemy ; but it was found impossible to maintain the position. General Simpson states that the greatest bravery was displayed, a fact of which we have no doubt, and that this determined and bloody contest was "supported to the utmost ;" but he does not inform is whether the troops Were checked by a cross-fire of artillery from the second line of Russian defences or by the infantry of the garrison, and, above all, he omits to state what were the reserves brought up under these critical circumstances to the support of a column engaged no doubt within the Redan with very superior numbers of the enemy. We have no wish to prejudge unfavour ably the conduct of the officers who commanded on this occasion, or to diminish the public satisfaction at the general result by cavilling at the means employed ; but, on the other hand, we have now before us the official report of the British Commander-in-Chief, relating his own arrangements ; and, as we certainly can claim no share in the brilliant achievement of the French columns against the Malakhoff, which was vic toriously terminated before the British attack began, we are bound to inquire with some anxiety into the causes of our subsequent failure. As the matter stands upon General Simpson's report, it appears incredible that a party of only some 1,200 or 1,500 men should be sent to storm a work in which the Russians had probably 3,000 or 4,000 • and that when this small party bad entered the work and maintained itself there for nearly an hour we should not be told what reserves were sent to its support. Indeed, we are expressly told that the reserve, consisting of the Highland Brigade, was not engaged ; it is probable, however, though by no means clearly expressed, that some further detachments of the Second and Light Divisions did join in the assault to p t r, at the head of assault on the mu aa General M‘Mabon's divi4ion with the Zouaves of the support 0 ffthe was storming ledb y Generalcolumns. B q The Guard as a reserve ; and in his spirited address to the osue ' soldiers before the battle he told them "It is a general assault, army against army." What, then, was the British army doing while that gallant and devoted band forced itself into the angle of the Redan, which it was brave enough to conquer, but too weak to hold ? Gen. Simpson omits to tell us ; but the next sentence of his report is, if possible, more extra o rdinary than the pre ceding one, for he adds that " the trenches were subse quently to this attack so crowded with troops that I was unable to organise a second assault, which I intended , to make with the Highlanders, who had hitherto formed the reserve, to be supported by the Third Division, u nder General Eyre." This stat ement establishes several facts which are not creditable to the Com mander-in-Chief of the army. We do not clearly , understand why the crowded state of the trenches prevented the advance of the reserves, for, if they were too crowded, the most natural operation would seem to be to move a brigade to the front. But, however this may be, who but the Gene ral-in-Chief is responsible for the over-crowding of his men to such an extent, as he himself informs us, that he could not use them, or execute his own plan of attack ? So that on the one hand we had a body of troops in the Redan toe weak to maintain itself there against the enemy, and on the other the trenches so crowded with men that the second assault could not be organised by the reserve ! This state of things seems to b- so inconsistent with the most ordinary rules of war that we cannot but suspect that General Simpson has omitted some essential circumstances in this hasty and unsatisfactory narratiTe. As it turned out, we may re. THE STATE OF NAPLES. NAPLES, Sept. 15.—Decidedly the King of the Sicilies fully appreciates 'Talleyrand's saying, "II 11,'y arien qui reussit .comme le succes." What less than the fall of Sebastopol could have effected such a favourable change in his conduct towards France and England in three short days ? A few days since and quarantine was imposed on all travellers coming from Marseilles and Genoa—the insult of fered to al3ritish Attache by the Minister of Police was denied—the want of courtesy shown to the French flag at Messina on the Emperor's feast- day palliated, and never until now has the news of a victory gained by the Allies been published under a delay of several days, and sometimes weeks. Now, on the contrary—to relate matters chrono• logically—the official Gazette has reproduced the telegraphic despatch regarding the capture of Se bastopol from the Giornale di .Roma the very day it arrived, and, though that intelligence was natu rally read with great avidity in all the cafes of Naples, I. have .not heard of any extraordinary number of arrests in consequence. That was the night before last, and the same paper contained an official notification that the quarantine placed ,on vessels coining frOni Marseilles, Genoa, Leghorn, &c., was abolished, it having been ascertained that there were some cases of cholera in Naples and the provinces. - The Gazette of last night contains a decree apropos of the affair of Mr. Fagan, the Attache to the British Legation, who had been insulted. It says—" The Director of the Royal Ministry of the Interior, Don Ludovico Bianchini, will take the signature of the Royal Ministry of the General Police in place of the Director Don Orazio Mazza, called to other commis sions." This concession has no doubt been made on the urgent demands of our Government for repara tion, and the "called to other commissions" shows the bad grace. with which his Majesty yields to the call of justice. Those who know the Neapolitan Court will assert that this reservation means that, while his Majesty literally sacrifices his worthless favourite to the demand of England, he will virtu ally promote him, and continue to treat the allies with the same mock courtesy until he sees a fleet in the Bay of Naples. It is said, also, that the officer who treated the French Admiral with such discourtesy at Messina, by neglecting to return his salute'on the 15th of August, or even to answer his note on the subject, has been removed from his command ; but this likewise is probably only an appearance of redress, and the. King. and his officers are really the best friends possible. __ Another removal from office, however, notified by Royal decree yesterday, is a bona fide dismissal, and that is the Minister of War, Prince Ischitella, who is succeeded by General Winspeare, he himself being continued as Adjutant-General. The Prince is believed to have conscientiously opposed the ridiculous expenditure now being made by the King in military preparations, as more likely to make the Government ridiculous in , the eyes of Europe than anything else ; and his Ma jesty, not brooking opposition of this kind, per mitted the Prince to resign. The new Minister of War is said to be a very good man ; but, it, may be presumed, of more pliable temperament to his master's whims than his predecessor. The fortifi cations and military preparations of every kind in progress at Gaeta, Capua, and other places, are very laughable to every one except the unfortunate soldiers and labourers, who are kept at work night and day almost. His Majesty's character is known to be very energetic, and when he undertakes any thing of this kind he spares neither himself nor any one else ; but the ridiculous part of all these prepa tions of hot shot and sandbags and big guns is that they are concentrated at places that no enernyis ever likely to attack ; for who would think of wasting time on Gaeta or Capua when a few three-deckers might destroy Naples in an hour or two ? • Some hundreds of field-pieces and a vast quan tity of military stores have been sent from Naples to Capua within the last few days, and a shell and rocket manufactory has been removed thither from. Procida ; in fact, the bustle and activity in every thing connected with the War Department denotes immediate invasion, or the fear of it. The Royal family are now in Naples, and will no doubt take part in the ceremony in honour of St. Januarius to morrow, when the miracle of the liquefaction of saint's blood will be performed for, the edification of the faithful. During this holy time—for four days before and eight days after the miracle—all the theatres in Naples are closed, which, however, is the only symptom of mortification visible, for last night illuminations and military music in the streets commenced in celebration of the anniver sary. Sept. 18.—Last night the news of the fall of the south of Sebastopol having been confirmed, the French, Sardinian, and English legations and con sulates, as well as the apartments of all indepen dent subjects of those nations, were illuminated in honour of the victory. Could cur sympathisers among the Neapolitans have expressed themselves openly in the same manner, no doubt Naples would have been a blaze of light ; but as it was of course natives were extremely cautious of being seen in the neighbourhood even of these illuminations, and there is only too much reason to fear that the police may have profited by the occasion to extort money from persons by threats of denunciation, as is their wont, for I find now there have been many arrests made for reading the despatches relative to this victory with unbecoming interest, although I was not aware of the fact when I last wrote. " Pazienza, Pazienza," however, is the watchword of this long-suffering people. His Majesty is running out line so fast just now that he must •brino- 6 himself up with a round turn (as the sailors say) before long. Further modifications in the Ministry were ex pected to be published in the Gazette of last night. The publishers were desired to keep a page fur official announcements, but at the usual hour the paper appeared with nothing more important than a notice of the establishment of a depot of grain in the further Calabria. The anxiety to ascertain what these changes are to be is the greater because the King has contrived within the last few days to offend even the few " Codini " who surrounded his Throne. This is the last sacrifice to his favourite Minister Mazza, whose overbearing insolence roused the indignation of Prince San Cmsareo, Master of the Horse, who represented to his Majesty the injury this man was doing him, whereon the King accused his faith ful servant of 25 years of Liberalism, which, of course, was understood and accepted by the Prince as his dismissal, and which, indeed, was formally communicated to him next day. The Prince car ries with him the sympathies of that part of the nobility which has hitherto supported the Bourbons through all changes of fortune, and the idea o f stigmatising or honouring him with the name of "Liberal" would surely never have entered the head of any man capable of distinguishing between right and wrong. The bourgeoisie, the army, and the aristocracy have thus been each in turn estranged from the King, and he now listens only to the suggestions of Mazza and the Queen, who, in her turn, is said, on good authority, to be under the influence of the infamous Campagna, who is known as the Queen's Minister of Police, and who in some cases has shown himself more powerful than Mazza. If Mazza and Campagna should fall out, there might, perhaps, be a hope for honest men •, but at present everything—national loyalty and 'oreign alliances—have been cast off for their gratification: Two classes alone they favour—the Lazzaroni and the galley slaves ; and, indeed, it would be most unnatural if they did not, belong ing as they do by birthright to the one, and by every claim of merit to the other. Warlike pre parations proceed with unabated energy, very much to the satisfaction of the Government con tractors, who don't fail to profit by these fancies of his Majesty. When all arrangements have been completed the King of Naples will be in a position to hold the fortresses of Capua and Gaeta against all corners, and he will have great reason to com plain of the discourtesy of a foe who shall refuse to meet him on the ground he has himself chosen. The poor gentleman! reckons over-confidently, I fear, on the chivalry of hi s an t agon i s t s , w h o pos sibly will not refrain from striking his unprotected parts. While he arms himself with breastplate and lance to do battle, he will suddenly discover that his hands have been tied by his own dependents. In sober earnest, all save the favoured few in the Neapolitan kingdom seem to be unanimous in thinking that his present Majesty is not in a fit state to direct public affairs ; the difficulty is for them to agree in finding a successor. The Prince of Calabria, though of full age to mount the Throne, has been so educated that he would necessarily fall into the hands of those about him, and therefore could not be expected to do better than his father ; and the sons of the present Queen are all subject to the same objection, as they would have to com mence the rule under a Regency, although her Majesty is said to have given them a much more manly education than has been vouchsafed to the Prince of Calabria. The Prince Louis, a younger brother of the King, who is reported to be the juice that.the assault was not renewed upon a larger scale, since such an action . would inevitably have greatly increased the losses' we have to deplore ; aod the evacua tion of the Redau by the Ru , sians before 11 o'clock on the night Of the battle shows that they were not able to renew the defence of it against the - Highland Brigade on the. morrow. But this is a circumstance which. can hardly have entered into the calCulations of the British commanders, who appear to have been unprepared for the abrupt retreat of an euemy.who had hitherto offered so pertinacious a resistance. It is scarcely worth while .to advert to the official Phraseology in which the services of the different branches of the army and navy are acktio ele.dged in this despatch, which is of the usual loose and undiscii minating kind ; but it is a little remarkable that in a despatch purporting to give an account of a particular action the name of no officer actually engaged in the assault or iu conducting the arrangements is mentioned with any mark of approbation except that of colonel Windham, who was not the senior officer of the day, though he headed his column with distinguished gallantry. The action of the Bth of September is not, after all, the brightest page in the history of the British army in the Crimean campaign ; and General Simpson, with a mo dest veracity which does him honour, has not attempted to colour the events of the day in our favour. .We must take these things as they are, but no one doubts that those portions of the British forces which were.engaged fought with their wonted valour ; and that, although wo were less successful than our knave allies on this occasion, both armies have contributed in a just propor tion to their strength to the succes4ol termination of the siege ; nor can we forbear to aeld that the French' have dune full justice to. the exertions of the British army on all occasions. RESOURCES OF RUSSIA. (Front the Times of this day.) In such a contest as that between Russia and the allies, it is, of course, natural to exercise some specula tion upoe. the resources of our antagonist, and to at tempt an estimate of the effects which exhaustion may be producing upon the power of the enemy. In these calculations, however, peculiar difficult;es are occasioned by the secrecy which, in a country like Russia, envelopes all public affairs. At home we know exactly what amount of force we are exerting, and the charge which that exertion entails. The numbers of men voted for land and sea service form ma of public record ; and we are all very well aware film., whereas the Army, Navy, and Ordnance used to cos' as some 16.000,000/., they are this year expected to cost come 50,000,0001. — the difference of 34,000,0001. being due to the war. More curious or careful inquirers can ascertain with little trouble the actual or relative magnitude of particu lar items in the accmints—the charge for this' or that force, or the cost of this or that description of stores. Our own readers have been familiarised with the dissec- tion of the various estimates, and have had repeated op ' portunitios of observing and comprehending the distri bution and proportions of the details from which the aggregate is made up. Everything is publicly axed ac curately stated and open to plain calculation. But in Russia no such facilities of information exist, and in ap plying to the statements occasionally set fsrth by the agents or partisans of that country the corrections which they obviously dsmand, we can argue only from such facts as have come under our observation, or from the probabilities of the case itself. In these, however, we find the materials for tolerably decisive conclusions. At the outbreak of the war Russia had certainly the reputetion of possessing a large military force already pre pere,l. We, it must be remembered, were upon a peke establishment, whereas the Russian armies had long been maintained at an enormous numerical strength and in a state calculated for action. War, though not, perhaps, expected quite so soon, was the very contin gency for which preparations had been so assiduously made. We had to arm ourselves, whereas Russia was already armed. Against this consideration, however. we may set the fact that the drain of war fell upon Russia earlier than upon ourselves. To the contests upon the Danube the Russians had lost a vast number of troops before the French and English expeditions sailed for the East, and we here seen that notwithstanding the prodigious array of legions represented as constituting the permanent force of the Czars, levies of men have succeeded each ether with ominous rapidity. These levies are, no doubt, very different things from the Eng li.h recruiting system. When serfs are captured by thousands and driven into the ranks of the army without any expenditure in the shapes of bounty, and when they are maintained at the lowest possible rate, the cost of military augmentations would, of course, be lighter than it is with ourselves. But, on the other hand, these troops are expended as rudely as they are raised. They are brought into action in immense masses, and have been sacrificed in prodigious numbers. In the same manner, although we may presume that the Russians bad accumulated large warlike stores, in Sebastopol and other arsenals, so as to support for a time, perhaps, the demands of war without much immediate necessity for new supplies, yet we have seen that the consumption of this material was prodigial in the extreme. It should be observed, too, tbat great pains bad evidently been ex pended.upon those departments of their army which, as they evince excellence in military art, involve also in creased military charges. Even if men are cheap in Russia, guns and gunners must be dear, especially when the artillery is maintained on a scale unknown before. When, therefore, we are told, as we have recently been, that whereas the public revenue of Russia was some 35,000,0001., or, by the highest estimates, 45,000,000/. sterling. the expenses of her army absorbed only some 14,000,0001. or 15,000,0001. of this amount, the utter improbability of such a statement is discernible at a glance. On our own army and ordnance we are expend ing this year between 27,000,0001. and 28,000,0001. ; and to suppose that an army of 800,000 or 900,000 men, comprising an extraordinary force of artillery, could be supported for about half the sum required for our esta blishments is a presumption so palpably absurd as to require no comment. It is, indeed, by no means im probable that the charges of the Russian army and of the war itself in that country may be defrayed, to some ex tent, by means less direct and visible than simple pay ments from the Exchequer, but this hypothesis only serves to augment the presumptive weight of the bur dens imposed upon the population. If the funds of the wealthier classes are drained by exactions under the name of voluntary contributions—if the operations of the agriculturist are deranged by demands for his horses and his waggons—and if the stocks even of the peasants are exhausted for the supply of troops, it is evident that the energies and resources of the country must suffer even more than they would if the necessary funds were raised by the ordinary system of taxation. We think, therefore, there must be good reason for believing in the exhaustion of the enemy under the pres sure of the war ; nor do we see, indeed, how such a con clusion could be easily contested after an impartial con sideration of facts. It has been said that the strength of Russia for defensive war is immense, but this presump tion referred not merely to the numbers of her popula tion, but to the enormous extent of her territory and the rigours of her climate, in reliance upon which she could, even in the last extremities, retire before an in vader, and leave him with only the alternatives of pene trating a boundless desert or retreating under conditions of almost equal difficulty. If the allied troops bad plunged into the heart of the Russian empire these difficulties would, no doubt, have made themselves felt, but by directing our attack upon the Crimea and Sebastopol we have put the Russians in such respects upon a level with ourselves, or, as we may more correctly say, we have even secured the advantage. Instead of permitting the enemy to take post upon his own ground, and to allure our armies to whatever spot he pleased, we have ourselves opened the lists on a spot to which he has been forced to repair by a line of operations more difficult than our own. We have landed our troops fresh from their depots within a mile or two of the scene of action, whereas the Russians have been compelled to toil over leagues upon leagues of savage and desolate territory. They have not been re sisting an invading army in the centre of their empire, but have been compelled to march to a remote corner of their country to encounter an enemy established in strength at that point. Their difficulties, therefore, must have been great, and, as their financial resources were far less considerable than our own, while the pres sure of a rigorous blockade has crippled their commerce, we think there is good reason for assuming that they cannot have maintained without exhaustion so tremen dous and desperate a struggle. THE RUSSIAN PRISONERS AT LEWES —The whole of the war prisoners stationed here—both officers and men —are in a state of great delight, as they have been in lormed that an exchange of prisoners is to take place, and that in the course o f a fortnight or three weeks they will all be sent to Libau on their way to Russia ; and the Russian priest, who visits them weekly and adminis ters to them the sacrament and other rites of the Greek Church, has authorised all the officers on ; arole, 20 in number, to purchase any little necessaries they may re quire to the amount of one sovereign each, the accounts to be sent to the Governor of the War Prison, to whom the priest has undertaken to pay the money for their liquidation. Some of the officers have already commenced packing up their luggage in anticipation of their speedy departure, and others are making preparations. Six of the Finnish officers who were taken at Bomarsund last year have obtained leave to spend a week in London, and are now in the metropolis. The autumn appears as preju dicial to the health of the Finns as the spring, for there is a large number in the prison hospital, and it bas been found necessary to obtain the services of an assist ant-surgeon to relieve Dr. Burton of a portion of b es duties. Two of the men confined within the prison died within the last fortnight, making altogether 15 since their arrival in Lewes. The disease from which they suffered was pthisis pulmonaris, which is a very preva lent complaint among them, and is attributable to their weak constitutions, and in some measure to the nature of their diet, which is very different to what they were previously accustomed to. Large numbers of persons continue to visit the prison and purchase the toys made by the men ; indeed, on fine days the streets of the town are quite thronged with people with toys in their hands. According to the register of visitors, no less than 9 ; 000 persons have been admitted within the prison walls dur ing the pest month, and the men have devoted the pro °eels of their industry to the purchase of various com forts and they have nearly all provided themselves with watches since they have been here. THE. GLORY of nig MUM-134. (From, the Monitaur.) In England, as in Franc e , the' capture, of SehaY topol has exited the liveliest joy. it was 'proper. indeed, that, after sharing Ole, elan e;ers and met' fiefs p of ar t t hi i s n w t r h a e r, gl t o h r e y towf oth. coot mencement 'of the contest, France- Frontan England, united united in a strict in,ecirorf c e o se s o n mu lu l: n :; i i totynh in ve f il u et t i r :l ss and of orts, r t , r n i t ti li; y s ip s il ls . o - uld equally take according e la‘7e felt at kind of iriturin' success. If France has beers able to place in .lire. more soldiers, England has supplied a larger num ber of ships, and has not the less on that account sent in succession to the Crinsess-80,000 train); 6 . 6 4, lected from all parts of ber immense empire. . Owing to the prodigious naval armament of tie allied powers their flags dominate over every s. a ., and forbid it to Russia. The enemy has seen his ships blockaded or burnt in his harbours, his •sea hoard ravaged, his commerce annihilated, hi, foreign relations destroyed. From the 5.9. at Azoff to the White Sea, from the Baltic to Nam schatka, Russia is imprison( dby our fleets. h !at the courage of our soldiers was triumphing over the desperate resistance of the Russian army, cotnbiniacl, squadrons wera destroying his stores at provisions, and intercepting his communications, at theVeiy%ime that they were m detaining aliutt datiec iir i alacs allied armies mid conveying to them every..aoyjrctah reinfornements. Oita nariflrne .cross woad baldly have suf- F,ced for the transport of our troops and eeorniqw quantity of munitiona-recrmerit`-fttf t•tralt-a-trar'-tit a distance of 800 leagues from our coatstry.- The English Admiralty placed at th disposal of France 50 vesseis of her royal navy and her merehant ser vice, which have conveyed to the Crimea more than 40,000 men of our troops, together with 2,000 horses, and 7,000 tons of our materiel. Every one knows, besides, that ff Bomarsund foil beneath the blows of our soldiers, it was chiefly the En . glish navy that conveyed them thither. In all the phases of this war, at the Alma awl at Inkerman, as at Bomarsund and Sweabore, the ar mies and crews of England and. France have min gled their blood and fought with bravery for the common cause. At the Tehernaya our allies has tened up to support us, as we had hastened to wards them at Balaklava.• In the last and victori ous efforts against Sebastopol the English and French equally accomplished their heroic task. It out of several points - attacked one only was cep quered at first, the triumphs was not the leas on that account due to all the corps of the allied army, which, mutually supporting each other and divid ing the resistance of the enany, compelled him at length to abandon the walls of that city which his very despair could no longer defend. Therefore the General-in-Chief of the French army has been mfrely just when he assigned to the Euglisli army a large share of the glory in the success of that great day. The pecuniary sacrifices that our allies have im posed on themselves equal our "own, even if they ' do not surpass them. Without speaking of the- Turkish loan of 100 millions (of francs), guaranteed, it is true, by France as well as by England, but contracted exclusively amongst our neighbours, nor of the 50 millions (of francs) advanced by them to the Piedmonteso Government, for enabling it to give us the most useful assistance of its brave sol diers, England expended on this war, last year, nearly 400 millions (of francs), and has foreseen that she might have to. expend on it this year a further sum of more than a milliard. This enormous burden and all these sacrifices are supported by the English people as by the French people, not with resignation, but with that energy which proves that no expense will be spared in the attainment of their object. We may say of our neighbours as of ourselves, that the nation is not satisfied with following and supporting its Govern ment, but that it outstrips it in a manner, by la vishing on it all the means requisite for insuring the triumph of a cause the justice and grandeur of which are equallycomprehended by the two peoples. OFFICIAL TURKISH NOTIFICATION ON RAILWAYS. The following official notification bag been pub lished by the Sublime Porte with rmspect to the establishment of a network of railroads in the em pire : The ameliorations and the progress which display themselves daily in the Ottoman Empire are the result of the grandeur of the conceptions animating the mind of his Imperial Majesty, and of the continual endeavours which be is ever making to assure the happiness aid prosperity of the populati-n. The council of the Tanzi mat is charged with the duty of realising these noble conceptions of the sovereign, and is earnestly occupied in elaborating the laws and regulations which are to serve as a basis for a just and paternal admioisiration of the empire—laws and regoiations which will give a new im pulse to industry an i conamerc', and will develop con tinuously the prosperity of the country. One of the most important ameliorations, one also which will contribute more than any other to augment the resources of the empire io without doubt, the esta blishment of roads of communication in the empire. Turkey, a country essentially agricultural, produces immense harvests. These stand in need of roads by which they can be conveyed to the sea, and thus feed the com merce of Europe. Steam navigation, which furrows the large indentations of the seas, whieh penetrates, we may say, into the very heart of the Ottoman empire, bag already opened great outlets for th. agricultural ricir!s (1 the countries which surround thorn By opening - roads of communication in the interior, we stall make the whole of the empire participate in the immense benefit which maritime commerce offers to the coasts of Turkey. To arrive at a result of this nature, greet arteries of communication must be established ; that is to say a net work of railroads which, starting from the agricultural centres of the country, shall terminate at the seas, tr; versing in their way the most productive provinces of Turkey, or serving to unite the lines of comolunioation of this country with the great European Hoeg. The neighbouring roads and the ca a's which are to feed the railroads will come afterwards, or we may say that they will originate themselves. Turkey must begin where Europe bas finished. Turkey has nothing to do but to transplant those works of progress which other countries have obtained so slowly and so difficultly. She will obtain at once the fruit which they have waited for ages before they could gather. With a view to this end his Imperial Majesty the Sul tan, in the exercise of that enlightened solicitude which he always displays on the subject of his country. has ordered the council of the Tanzimat to make this ques tion take precedence of all others, and the council has just presented the project which it has adopted, after due and proper deliberation. The council admits in principle the establishment of railroads throughout the empire, and as acoturnencement it has thought proper to endeavour tc. decide upon the line which would offer the most immediate and conside rable advantages for industry and internal and external commerce, and which also miaht serve as a model for the establh-liment of others. Afr.er mature reflection the council came to the conclusion that the road from Con stantinople to Belgrade was the most important, all cir cumstances being taken into consideration. This im portance is increased by the pre-ent conditien of affairs. Constantinople is an imoertant city, and the seat of an extensive commerce. The produce and merchandise which it is obliged to obtaiu from the interior alrea ly are the cause of immense traffic. Now the railroad from Bel grade to the capital must pass through many important cities, centres of production and indu s try. The trade Of Constantinople alone then secures for the raitroA a pros perous future. But besides this, the port or Constaeti nople is one of the fine,t an I most extensive in the whole world, and the enormous fora ion trade of which it is the centre promises a brilliaet tutere for the r ailroad. Still more, this railroad destined to unite Turkey with the rest of Europe, must naturally introdu ce an immense result, material and mor.ll, and is destined in a short time either at Constat,tinople itself or in the most, beau tiful and fertile countries of Rametlia to realise. under these two points of view, the roost itupottant ameliora tions, to give an enormous impulse to commerce by opening new outlets to agriooltere, to watoifaztures, amid to inaugurate a new era of prep rity arni aches. The most enlightened governments c f Europe, labour ing to increase the prosperity of their countries, have re cognised necessarily that the weal nod the riches of pri vate individuals, and that this result can , ‘nly be obtained I by giving the greatest impure to c,rnm-rce, n anufac tures, and the spirit of enter!), ise. They have c , r sequently adopted the system of leaving areat works of this nature to private adventure, and to gi ant o. onponies the privilege of constructing rail-roads. The Imperial Gov( rt merit follow this example, and will leave the construction of the railroad from Constantienple to Belgrade to com• panics c o mpered of shareholders either autjects of the empire or foreigners. To this end the Ottoman Government has resolved 'o address itself directly to Etirepean capital and exp The fundamental rubs and eondit; nue upon whieb this concession will repos will be published in Europe by the Embassies of the Empire.
