The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con - equencem resulting from certain habits, Irregularities, and excesses, vhich have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man nod, and premature decay at all staves of Life, than, perhaps, any ,ther class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is carticolarly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being it: entitled; ft is absolutely necessary that all men should know, that there ar , rinciples of personal management which cannot be violated withon , ucurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed .'e heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties nay be mitigated, hew the sting of their bitterness may be removed, end how the evil and its consequences maybe avoided, and above all, flat there to scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional ierangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive vactiee in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have ti -fortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant emeirics, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in their pretensions.

Sir,-1 have received your letter of the Sth January, and I beg respectfully to observe that their lordships have evaded, but not replied to my letter. I did not complain that my officers had not been promoted, and I knew very well that the French army and navy bore a conspicuous part in the capture of Bomarsund. I knew also that their chiefs were promoted, and the army and navy thanked by the Chambers, while the only chief on our side promoted has been Brigadier Jones, who proposed a plan of attack on Sweaborg, which was condemned and rejected by the French Marshal, the French General of Engineers, the French Admiral, and myself, as impracticable and , la.ngerou., whereas I have been deprived of my command, and her Majesty has not been advised to expresS her approbation. I did not complain of any neglect of Captain Watson or his officers and men, and I am glad their lordships have at last promoted his First Lieutenant, and no re ward is too great for Ma bold and successful blockade of the Gulf of Finland after I retired with the Fleet to Kiel, and it is most providential that some of his ships were not lost ; it. is probable that such would have been the fate of my fl:et had I remained at Nargen, as ordered by their lordships, until the ice came, and at all hazards ; and it is singular also, the dates of my letter, Announcing my intended retirement, and the date of heir lord-hips'ltitter withdrawing the order to remain at all hazards, were the same. Their lordships conclude their letter by saying they had already expressed their sense of my exertians (luring, comrnand'of the Baltic fleet, but they forgot to do so when they or.lered me to haul down my Wig ; and they also forgot t., promote my Flag Lieutenant, agree ably to the custom of the service:" I was not desired to thank the junior admirals, the officers and men, without whose exertions and willing obedience, under the most trying circumstances, tar wretchedly-manned and inefficient fleet could not have been brought into the state of discipline it was in when I brought it home, atter having for nine months con. ducted them through all the dangers of the Baltic and Gulf of Finland—conducted them safely into anchorage, that no fleet had vi,ited before, without pilots, withou, lights, and without buoys or beacons, except those placed to mislead us,—and all this with a fleet of such a size and magnitude as had never been before seen ; and after having repeatedly offered battle, with only one third of the Rus , sia.n force, and blockaded Bomarsund amidst a labyrinth of sunken rocks and islands, and, finally, in conjunction with a French army and fleet, took it. Their lordship say no censure has been conveyed on any point requiring further investigation. I beg to differ from their lordships : I will not enter on the fact of Sir James Graham having, in his capacity of First Lord, written to me to begin to withdraw the fleet, and then, in his capacity of one of the Board, reproving me for so doing. The points on which an investigation of my con duct is necessary are, whether I was right or wrong in agreeing:with a Marshal of France, a General of Engi neers, and a French Admiral in rejecting the impracti cable plan of an English Brigadier-General of Engineers for attacking Sweaborg, with which decision the Admi ralty have expressed their discontent ; whether the report of my second reconnaissance of Sweaborg deserves the construction their lordships thought fit to give it ; and, indeed, changed the sense and meaning of it al together, to make out a case against me, at the same time using language to goad me to attack Sweaborg, contrary to my judgment, contrary to the judgment of the French Admiral, and contrary to the judgment of my own Admirals, whom I was ordered to consult ; this was to the imminent risk of her Majesty's fleet, either from the fire of a fortress of the first order, or from tem pestuous weather, or from both ; unless, indeed, I could hit on a fine day in the latter end of October, when the Croastadt fleet should be : r rozen, and that of Sveaborg open. These were their lordships' instructions, and they showed that they were totally ignorant of the state of the Had their lordships consulted Sir Byam Martin, who was then alive, or, indeed, any captain of a la,itie trader, they would have told them whether a fine day was likely to be found at that season of the year, and whether any sane man would push a fleet amongst sunken rocks, without beacons or buoys, to attack one of the strongest fortresses in Europe, when he could not depend on the weather for two hours. Notwithstanding all the explanations I gave to their lordships in public letters, and to Sir J. Graham in pri vate letters, they persisted in writing to me in a style that might have done for a man who either did nut know his duty, or was afraid to do it ; but not to a man of my character and services. If enough was not done in the Baltic to satisfy the public, and if blame was to attach to any one, it should attach to the Government, for not sending out a sufii• cient number of troops at a proper season of the year, and if that was not practicable, for not sending out the appliances pointed out in my report of the 12th of June, and which differed little from my report of the 25th of September. Their lord ships thought proper to interpret the last as an as surance that I could attack Sweaborg with ships alone, and that I meant to do so, though I most dis tinctly said, after giving a detailed account of how it should be attacked, if by ships alone—" Whether this attack would succeed or not it is impossible to say ; but we must calculate on ships being set on fire by red-hot shot and shells, of which they would have abundance ; and, whether successful or not, it is evident the ships would be in no state to meet the Russian fleet after wards ; and if the attack was'made at this season of the year, when you cannot depend on the weather for two hours, I do not know how many would be lost." I then proceeded to say, " I beg their Lordships will not suppose for a moment that Srveaborg cannot be al _ _ _ tacked ; I think it can, but it must be done with caution and judgment." Then followed a complete detail of the manner it should be attacked to insure success, and 1 should have thought that their Lordships really mis understood my letters had they not persisted in address ing me in the same style after my explanations. During the whole of the summer Sir James Graham was cautioning me against risking the fleet against stone walls, and complimenting me for having proved myself a consummate Commander-in-Chief —praised me for all my arrangements—for the capture of Boinarsund, with which he was more than pleased ; but then, because two engineers proposed plans diametrically opposite to each other, he forgot his former cautions and all his former praises—forgot his consummate Commander-in-Chief— and urged me to attack Sweaborg, contrary to my own judgment and that of my colleagues, and risk her Ma jesty's fleet amongst sunken rocks, against heavy bat teries, and at a season of the year which any man who knew his business would have positively forbid, instead of goading to attempt. In Sir James Graham's letter to me, of the 17th of October, he makes use of the following expression —it is the French General who writes :—" We partake of the opinion of General Jones. Sweaborg may be attacked and taken by the fleets, if they think fit to make on that fortress a serious attack." Now, there is no such thing in :General Jones's re port—the French General meant General Niel's report, and Sir James Graham either never read General Jones's report, or thought proper to forget it. General Niel, after stating that he thought the fleets could lay Swea berg in ruins, added, "'Ma's les vaisseaux sant des ma chines bien 6ien eompliqudes bien faciles ii incendier' uno telle operation est hardie--elle n'a jamais ete fait que je Bache et ce n'est pas d moi qu'il appartient do la conseiller."t This, Sir James thinks proper to inter pret, in his letter to me, " General Niel intimated very distinctly an opinion that the attack ought to be made ;" and then goes on to say, alluding, I suppose, to General Jones's report, " that report made a great impression here, and raised a strong presumption that, with the aid of the military force then present with the fleet, in seven or eight days the works at Sweaborg might be destroyed, and that the month of September was the proper time for the operation." Whatever impression it Made on Sir James Graham (who I do not think a good judge) that report made none on the French mar shal—none on the French admiral, the French engineer, We all considered it impracticable, and as or myself, the weather turned out, had it been put in course of exe cution, the communication with the fleet would have He was afterwards promoted. t General Niel acted liko a matt of sense and lioneur, in qualifying hia opinion. been cut off, and the troops and stores in possw.sion of the enemy before sunset ; a portion of the fleet would most probablytalso have been lost—it would have been worse than Sebastopol ! Sir James then continues *fans :—" Then came your second reconnaissance of S weaborg and plan of naval attack, which you consi dered practicable." I gave two plans, one with the fleet alone, the success of which I doubted, and thought dangerous ; the second I thought certain of euccess. Their lordships thought proper to deliberate on one and to ignore the other, which differed, however, little from the one I gave on the 12th of June ; and then Sir James Graham tells me an opportunity was lost; adding words about risks and dangers, and telling me that prudence consists in weigh ing them, and firmness in encountering them. Had their Lordships weighed these things they would not have written me such letters. Sir James, in another letter, tells me he is unwilling to be involved in a written controversy with me ; but that I had brought it on myself by my report of the 25th of September—that report appeared to him to be entirely at variance with the opinions previously expressed by me ; and he certainly understood me to say, that if I had mortars, rockets, and Lancaster's guns, I considered Sweaborg assailable by sea. Now, in May, I declared it to be unassailable by sea or land, and the Admiralty did not send to me the ap pliances which, in September, I declared to be wanting, because they believed, from my account, they would be useless against a place, which, in the first instance, I pronounced to be impregnable. Sir James then continues thus—" I could not bring myself to believe that the want of Lancaster's guns, or even of mortars, rendeied a sea attack, on your plan of the 25th of September impossible, if you had 25 sail of the line reassembled before the place, with all their means of vertical fire."* But Sir James forgot that my report in May was made before I had seen Sweaborg ; but the report of the 12th of June was after I had seen it ; and it differs little from that of the 25th September! I wonder whether Sir James Graham, when he wrote this, had forgotten his great respect for stone walls, and his warnings to avoid them ; and had he forgot his con- Aummate Commander-in-Chief ? I have now again well weighed and considered this painful subject. I have consulted friends, and lam ~f opinion, and so are they, that my character has keen attacked by the First Lord of the Admiralty, and by the Board ; and coupling that with my dismissal from command, I have nothing left but to demand that my conduct be investigated before a court-martial. I can quite understand that their lordships wish to avoid an investigation ; for they are quite aware that any conduct will be proved creditable to me, and very different to their lordships.—l have the honour to re main, your obedient humble servant, (Signed) CHAS. NAPIER. To the above masterly letter the Admiralty reply as 'ullows, under the signature of their Secretary No. XXXII. (Copy.) Admiralty, Jan. 13, 1855. Having laid before my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty your letter of yesterday's date, I am com manded by their Lordships to acquaint you that although my Lords upon some occasions have not been enabled to express the same satisfaction at receiving your re ports, which they have directed to be conveyed to you opon others, they have only to repeat that no censure has been passed upon your conduct in reference to the operations of the Fleet under your orders, and their Lordships have already expressed their sense of your exertions i❑ a manner customary upon intimation that the flag of an officer of your rank has been struck in pur suance of their Lordships' orders. They had also, in accordance wits your recommendation, promoted the Flag Lieutenant who was the bearer of your despatches announcing the fall of Bomarsund, and since your flag has been struck the name of no other officer has been submitted by you. [I submitted a name, and he was promoted.] My Lords do not feel themselves 'caked upon now to enter a second time into discussion of reports on which they have already stated their opinions, and still less to take cognisance of other informal documents which have never been laid before them, and which they decline to recognise. [These, I suppose, aro Sir J. Graham's that ire called in formal ; a pretty way of carrying on business.] They consider that no inquiry into your conduct is necessary, me-d.4,lrey.rentirels..tieeline to submit versy raied by an officer under their orders, to the de cision of a Court-martial. My Lords further direct me to inform you, that while they have been unwilling to pass censure upon any parr of your conduct they have not failed to observe, from the moment of your first quitting Wingo Sound without orders, and down to the present time, you have r,- peatedly thought fit to adopt a tone, in your correspond ence with their Lordships, which is not respectful to their authority. Such a course, if generally adopted by other officers, would be destructive to the discipline and inju rious to the best interests of the service, and is not cal culated to inspire confidence in an officer entrusted war, an important command. [Why did they not produce them? I defy the Admi ralty to produce one instance in the British Navy where au officer's letters were falsified.] I am further directed to add that this decision is to be considered by you as final. I am, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, W. A. B. HAMILTON. Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Napier, K.C.B. The next letter is the rejoinder of Sir Charles to the above letter of the Admiralty : No. XXXIII. Merchistoun Hall, llorndean, Jan. 20, 1855. Sir,—l have received your letter of the 13th inst., in which you state, that " although my Lords upon some occasions have not been enabled to express the same satisfaction on receiving my reports which they have done on others, that they never passed censure on me, in reference to the operation of the fleet under my Cam wand." This communication leaves me at a loss to understand why their Lordships' letter of the 4th Oct., No. 744, was written ; and I shall, therefore, take that letter paragraph by paragraph, and reply to it. 1. Your renewed reconnaissance of Sweaborg gives rise to more pressing and serious considerations. [Hy opinion since I first saw Sweaborg has never chaugod 2. You desire us not for a minute to suppose that Swea borg cannot be attacked, and you proceed to point out in detail the precise mode in which the operation ought to be conducted. [Certainly. I pointed out the precise mode of attack. One with ships alone, but saying success would be doubt- In!, and many ships would be lost. Another with ships, guns, gun-boats, Lancaster guns, rockets, 13-inch mortars on the islands, and a vast supply of shot, shells, and rockets, in addition to the ships. This mode I thought certain, and do still think so, notwithstanding the disaster at Sebastopol.] 3. You express your opinion that if your plan of at tack by the ships were adopted, you are quite certain the fortress would be laid in ruins, and most probably an entrance opened to the ships. [I never said anything of the sort. I said, if attacked by the ships alone success would be very doubtful. The ships would be set on fire by red-hot shot and shells, and be left in no condition to meat the Russian fleet after wards ; and if attempted at that season of the year I did not know how many would be lost.] TA. What, then, are the obstacles to the immediate attempt ? Admiral Pluairidge and the French Admiral are ordered to rejoin you. [The want of the means I pointed out to insure success. jlleiandedAwdmitihratlbeFlmeemnrtibd,geean provisionsdthe b Fen e was ch ord s in, it would have been nearly expends, I before he got back q e r a e a d d o e n t arbee and could have done us no good without, the appliances French I asked for. Neither could he ha v e c ome until the end of October, the periol their lordships thou g ht most favour able for attack, but which I knew t o be most unfavour able ] 5. Recent events in the Black Sea will not encourage the Russians to attempt any enterprise of more than usual hazard and daring at this precise moment. [Recent events in the Black Sea were a miserable de ception; more recent events showed that the British fleet was nearly dostroye I. And had that been known at the Admiralty, Sir J. Graham's cautions to me would have been repeated instead of his goadings.] 6. Your second reconnaissance of Sweaborg opens a new view, and the presence or absence of a few guns of an improved construction, or even of mortar-vessels, cannot make the whole difference between a possible and an impossible attack. [My second reconnaissance opened no new view to me ; and the presence or absence of a " few guns," as their lordships aro pleased to call what I asked for, just makes all the difference between the possible and the impos sible.] Any man reading the foregoing letter would say that nothing more goading could have been written to one in my position ; nothing short of a positive order more * Where was the vertical fire to come from ? We had no mortars. Did he mean the ships to be heeled over, a►d act with the ports caulked over? urgent or imperative ; it was to say, " If you don't act it will be a disgraceful backwardness ! It is a letti which will remain at the Admiralty on record ; and i: hereafter my life should be writtea, posterity will per haps take it as a proof that Sir Charles Napier was a cowardly commander This injurious letter was followed up by another from their lordships, October 17, No. 779, which I will non dissect, as I have done the first. 1. Their lordships might also have been satisfied witl. the decision adopted by you, on the joint report of the flag officers referred to, if the reports of the French and English military officers had not contained adverse opinions, and if your own letter of Sept. 25th had not afterwards expressly informed their lordships that they were not to suppose for a moment that Sweaborg could not be attacked. [lf this is not censure, what is it? It might be thought the opinions of the naval flag officers were of more worth than those of the French and English military officers on naval affairs. It is probably the first time that soldiers were considered better judges of naval warfare than sailors ! And those soldiers announced opinions directly at variance with each other. But how was it to be at tacked ? Not by ships alone ! Aud that was well known to their lordships, though they thought fit to ignore it.] In their next letter, October 31, No. 706, their Lord ships told me plainly they could not express satisfaction with the decision come to, not to attack Sweaborg after the fall of Bomarsund. That was not only a censure on me, but on a Marshal of France, a French Admiral, and on my own Admirals. The French Chamber, however, did not agree with their Lordships; they gave thanks to their officers, and the Emperor promoted them ; but I have been removed from my command by the English Admiralty ! Their Lordships speak of informal documents, which they will not recognise. Are, then, the letters of tie First Lord of the Admiralty, official and momentous of meaning, informal ? Were they to be of force for stimu lating, goading an Admiral, against his judgment, to resk the destruction of a noble fleet, amidst fogs, sunken r cks, stone fortresses, and ice and fire ; and yet to be of no authenticity or weight in justification of an injured and insulted man ? Their Lordships say no inquiry into my conduct is necessary, and decline submitting a controversy, raised by an officer under their orders, to the decision of a camt-martial. But it was not I who raised the contro versy. It was their Lordships, by misinterpreting my letters. But they further direct you to inform me that, while they are unwilling to pass censure on any part of my conduct, they have not failed to observe that, !ram the moment " I first quitted Wingoe Sound without orders," down to the present time, I have repeatedly thought fit to adopt a tone in my correspondence which is not re spectful to their authority. This passage is to me surprising. For, first, I did not quit Wingoc Sound without orders. Their Lordships, by letter of the Bth of March, ordered me to proceed ta Wingoe Sound. On the 10th of March they sent me Lord Clarendon's instructions to dispose my fleet so as to prevent the Russian ships passing out of the Baltic. Acting on those instructions, I left Wingoe Sound, proceeding to Kioge Bay as a better station for effect ing the object of Lord Clarendon's communication. I arrived there on the Ist of April, and was immediately reproved by the Admiralty for obeying Lord Claren don's orders, transmitted to me by the Admiralty On the 2d of April I received orders from the Duke of Newcastle, also forwarded by the Admiralty, to pro ceed to the entrance of the Gulf of Finland, from Kiel, is soon as possible. On the 3d of May I received a letter from their lord ships, dated Bth April, approving of my proceedings in leaving Wingoe Sound ! Also came a letter from Sir .T. Graham, dated 10th of April, from which the follow ing is an extract : " I am entirely satisfied with your proceedings. Nei ther Lord Clarendon nor I anticipated your movement inside the Belt, and believed that you would : watch in the Cattegat the entrance to the Sound, and of the Belt, until you received orders to enter the Baltic. You judged, however, very wisely, and the time which you lave gained has been very precious ; and the passage of ,he Belt in fine weather, and in safety, has been a most successful exploit. "You R i,l also have been enabled to exercise your , fficers and men to great advantage, with the certainty tLat the enemy is in front of you, locked up in ice lot some time to come ; and that your reinforcements will .rrive. and that your discipline will be improved before ie can move, even if helwere so disposed." On the sth of April Sir J. Graham wrote thus, also : " lam highly satisfied with your movements, with the position which you have taken up for the present. Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Grey can readily communicate with you where you are now, and most useful informa -ien from Stockholm reaches you without loss of time. " Considering the state of the ice in front of you I ejoice in the belief that you are on the ground in time, end that you will be strong and well prepared before he critical moment arrives." Now, on the 14th Jan., 1855, I received a letter from their lordships again accusing me of leaving Wingoe Sound without orders, and also remarking that owes to the present time, from that period, I have re peatedly thought fit to adopt a tone in my correspon dence which is not respectful to their Lordships' authority. I believe in one instance only, up to the 4th of Octo ner, I did write hastily to their Lordships, and I after wards expressed my regret to Admiral Berkeley for having done so. Up to that date, also, I received nothing but praise from their Lordships. Since then, I admit the use of strong language, but I was goaded to it by their Lordships' public letters, and by Sir J. Gra ham's private letters, which were almost past endurance. Their Lordships have directed you to add, that this, their decision, is to be considered by me as final. It may be final for their Lordships, but certainly will not be final for me, until I receive complete satisfaction for the in jurious imputations on my character and conduct. Her Majesty was certainly not displeased with my conduct in the Baltic, for she invited me to Windsor on my return. The invitation reached me too late to obey her Majesty's command ; and as it has not been repeated, my hope is, that Sir J. Graham's misrepresentations to myself of my opinions and conduct have not been ex tended so as to affect her Majesty's sentiments. But I have been deprived of my command—an unusual act, save where an officer has misconducted himself.—l have ,he honour to be, sir, your most obedient servant, CHAS. NarIER.

THE CASE OE PAUL, STRAHAN, AND BATEFI.--It is not generally known that the bail in the case of Paul, Stra ban, and Bates (which will not be tried, it is understood during the present sessions of the Central Criminal Court) amounts to no less a sum than 60,0001. On the last examination at Bow-street the six sureties for the defendants increased their recognisances from 3,0001. to 5,000 1 . each, making 30,0001., and each defendant in crea,ed his recognisance from 5,0001. to 10.0001., making the three 30,0001., and with the bail 60,0001. for their appearance to take their trial. Her Majesty's judges on the rota will take their seats at the Central Criminal Court on Wednesday, when an application will b.! made on the part of the defendants to p istpone the trild to the October sessions, and it is understood there is every probability of the same being granted. At pre se,t the leading counsel for the defence has not been fixed upon. Mr. E. James has been retailed for the de endant Bates. ME XICANIiONDROLDERS.—The following is from the Committee of N exican Bondholders :—"The committee have received ad vices from Mr. Whitehead, dated Mexico, the 19th ult. The garrison of Mexico had, on the 13th ult., 4 pronounced for the plan of Ayutla,' which pro nunciantento all the leaders of the late President's party signed. To accordance with this plan General Carrera, late Commander-in-Chief, was elected provisional Presi dent. General Carrera is described as a man of great moderation, who was likely to do all in his power to maintain order while in power, and to relinquish it with- • out reluctance when the public interest should require it. No Ministers had been appointed, and the public busi !less was for the present carried on by the chief clerks of the several Ministerial departments. Senor Don P. F. del Castello was thus at the head of the department of finance, and had, by a circular order of August 16, called for information respecting all assignments on the public revenue, suspending all of them until they should have been duly examined, with the exception of the as signments in favour of the bondholders and of the mili• itary on actual duty. This is a very satisfactory indica ti,m of the intention of the new authorities, and Senor Del Castello assured Mr. Whitehead that such were also the sentiments of General Carrera. The Wye, which arrived at St. Thomas too late for the Atrato, had taken nothing from Vera Cruz for the dividends, but 41:3,0 0 frock limpico.7 ( Front the Morning Post of this day.) CAMP BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, SEPTEUBER 1. The weather we are enjoying on th ese h e i g ht s , At the present time, is precisely the same as we experienced when embarked and lying at anchor in Varna Bay at this time last year. The appearance )f rain that I noticed yesterday has vanished, and . ieptember sets in very fine—much cooler than the weather we were a short time ago complaining of. The new sap, which was intended to lead into a sixth parallel, I understand is now not to he made, and the sap only continued as an ap proach to some rifle pits the Russians have esta blished in front of the Redan, is costing us a great number of lives—no less than 0 officers and 63 men during the last two nights. I have already named the officers who fell on the night of the 29th. Last night Captain Foster, of the 95th, who had been only one week in the Crimea, was shot ; Cap tain Ross, of the Buffs, taken prisoner ; and the adjutant of the 30th, Lieut. Forbes, had his right arm carried away at the shoulder joint, and, from the effects of injury at the same time caused to the chest, he has since died. Orders were some time since issued for a constant fire of musketry to be kept up on the embrasures of the Redan, which, for a time, had the desired effect of keeping the fire somewhat under, but the Russians have now taken our example, and also keep up a continuous fire of musketry, which, toge ther with the sap that is in hand being enfiladed by the batteries of the Redan, cause the great increase in our casualties. Previous to this work being com menced, the whole of our casualties in both attacks Averaged 35 during the 24 hours, but the greater proportion in the Right Attack. The Andes has arrived outside Balakla.va, with drafts for various regiments, from Euzland, and the Bayana has come iuto harbour also with drafts. Both officers and men appear all boys ; indeed, it would be a rarity to see any other at the present time, and ib is only astonishing that they go through the work and hardship that they do. There is little talk of an other bombardment or a regular opening of fire, but the noise during the greater part of each night appears as if it would take very much to in-rease it. What the Russians are about seems equally a mystery. They have given up throwing round shot into our camps during the last day or two, having doubtless been informed of the small amount of damage they caused. SEPT. 2. After a remarkably cool morning, the weather this afternoon suddenly became very warm. The nights are now all chilly, but occasionally the middle of the day approaches to something like the old heat. The dust everywhere is abominable ; but we have an agreeable reduction in the number of flies, and I wish I could say as much of fleas and other vermin, which infest the camps to a great ex tent. Little has occurred of general interest to-day. There was much firing last night, but I have not heard of any officers having been among the casual ties. The Indiana has come into harbour with the S2d Regiment, from Cephalonia, which will dise m b ar k the day after to-morrow, and take the place of the 13th Light Infantry at Balaklava, when the latter regiment will go to the front. SEPT. 3. After an exceedingly dusty ride to Balaklava this morning, I found the hills resounding with the music of the band of the 82d on board ship, and the drafts of various regiments that were disem barking might have imagined they had reached a lively place, and were about to enjoy themselves. Poor fellows, I thought as I looked at them—boys fresh and clean from England—they are about enough to supply the expenditure of two or three ❑ights. Last night, about eleven o'clock, orders were sent round for all hands to be prepared for a turn out at a moment's warning ; but as no attack has ever yet come when expected and prepared for, so on this occasion we were not disturbed, except by the preparation. An attack is now expected to-morrow morning. Deserters have reported au army of 90,000 in our rear ; but the Sardinian ca valry, who have been on reconnaissance during the day, report the immediate country to be clear. •A. Russian artilleryman who has also come in speaks of every preparation having been made to abandon the south side—that the ships in harbour are filled with stones and plugged, ready to be sunk at the shortest. notion. General Pelissier has this., day, 1. - understand, been most awa.'us fur an opening of the bombardment to-morrow morning, but whether to enable them to proceed more ad vantageously with their works, or as preparator:' to another assault, I know not. It appears evident from all accounts that the Russians have little idea of holding the south side during the winter; and the question arises, whether they will not abandon .it even it we do not assault. A few days seem likely to produce some change. The large force they have now assembled must be maintained with great diffi eulty, owing to the immense distance they have to convey their supplies ; and the general belief is that they will make a desperate effort both in front and rear at the same time. It may come to-morrow morning, or on any other; but toujouers prets must be our motto. There is an assault of some kind at this very moment, 9 p.m. ; the musketry, which ap pears to be in the direction of the Mamelon or Re dan, is very heavy, and shells are passing through the air like peas—a dozen may be counted at the same instant. All hands are only waiting the word to turn out, and are fully equipped. The following General Orders have just been issued : Head-Quarters before Sebastopol, Sept. 1. A court of inquiry will assemble at the head-quarters of the Second Division, on londay, the 3d inst., at 10 a.m., to inquire into such matters as may be brought before it.

The defences of the trenches suffer much from the reckless conduct of the troops in removing gabions, fascines, ammunition boxes, &c., for fuel. The Com mander of the Forces has already publicly forbidden this practice, and is not disposed to permit his order to be disobeyed. An allowance of fuel is issued for the use of the troops in the trenches, and if it is represented as insufficient it shall be increased, but the defences must not be wantonly destroyed. General officers command ing divisions are requested to give directions to officers under their command to exert themselves more in this matter than they appear lately to have done, and to order that any soldier found in ptssession of, or burning any portion of the gabions, facines, barrels, or other rOrdriance - stores, materhis, or tools, - shall be made a prisoner leaving the trenches, and be liable to be tried by a court-martial fnr disobedience of orders. liregularities have occurred from the payment of balances to soldiers while patients in general hospital. It is right that soldiers' acconnts should be periodically balanced, and explained to them at convenient times, but it is contrary to all regulations, and very prejudicial to discipline, that sums of money should be paid to them whilst in hospital—arid it is requested that the practice n v be di,continued.

ROBBERY OF A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER.—On Sun day evening a commercial traveller from London, Mr. Henry Day, was knocked domain Jackson's-row, Deans gate, Manchester, and robbed of 9/. 10s. in money. The thieves also took away his coat and waistcoat. When the police went to his assistance he was found to have received a severe contusion at the back of the head, and was carried to the Royal Infirmary. Yesterday, how ever, he was much recovered, and able to walk to his lodgings. A man named Edward Robots was brought before the magistrates yesterday morning charged with being concerned in the robbery, but the evidence Was incomplete, and he was remanded. whose in a pathway murdered th w ay icilcif.b a dr n aeetr d trha:ehb;eudrita c k mutilatedr o remains ek Gie n THE MURDER AT THE BRISTOL HOTWELLS.—Yeaterday the adjourned coroner's inquest on the body of the girl Payne, : ll , fe h l e in ap da of were discovered on the 19th of August buried beneath employed by the was resumed and concluded.

THE AMENDED BEER ACT.—Yesterday no fewtr than twelve of the licensed victuallers of Gravesend were sum moned for infringing the Beer Act of the last session, by keeping open their houses between the hours of three and five on the previous afternoon. After hearing the evidence the Mayor said there was no desire to impose any heavy penalties upon the defendants. He trusted that they would now be alive to the necessity of having their doors closed, and that they would not give rise to any furth e r complaint. Mr. Oates, of the Pope's Head, who had been previously cautioned, and Mr. Watkins, who had not appeared, would each be fined ss. ; but with respect to the other defendants the court felt that a penalty of 6d. in each case, with costs, would be suffi cient to meet what was required. He would add that the act was far more extended in its operation than the former one, and the words " open" and " keeping open" clearly showed the intention o fthe Legislature in passing it. If the licensed victuallers would only show some outward compliance with the act of Parliament no further notice would be taken, although, strictly fpeekiPlb the 1 Act t ypireci_the house to be closed.
