The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man sood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled: _ It is absolutely necessary that all men should know, that there are personal management which cannot be violated without incurring of grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penaltiee nay be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may. be removed, end how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, that there is 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 practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have untortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant emnirics, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith In their pretensions.

A few years ago it would have been thought an incredible thing that some hundred gentlemen and ladies travelling over a beautiful country in the full light of day should dash at the rate of a mile a minute into the very bowels of the earth, and remain for some minutes in total darkness, with out the least qualm of doubt as to their speedy re appearance in this upper world. We are now fa miliar enough with the transition, and regard it as little more than an agreeable novelty. That, how ever, is the change which the public will have to undergo this day in regard to the political prospect ; and we are not quite sure that they aro prepared for the total darkness which for the present they will have to endure. With no news from the Black Sea and none from the Baltic, with the negotiations closed, there will then be no Parliament to ask questions, and no Government in a position to an swer them. At every such pause of the intelli gence as that which has now for a week baffled curiosity and excited the misgivings of the fearful there will be no one to turn to, no one to favour with suggestions, no one to ask why nothing is heard or nothing done, excepting only that Press which has no recess, and sits every night of the year. Such is the tunnel we shall all be driving through, utterly ignorant whether a bomb ar d men t, an assault, a land or sea fight i 3 raging overhead ; whether a negotiation is in progress, or new points actually agreed on. There will be only the papers, and, as everybody knows, the papers may ask many questions without a Minister caring to answer, or even having an opportunity to an swer. Should the least rumour of reverses come from the north or the east, should there be any suspicion of slackness, or complaining private letters, then the annual abeyance of the Legis lature will be felt as a sort of night, in which the action of the war goes on, though the powers of control, of encouragement, and of inquiry through the Legislature, will be wholly suspended. It will not be thought, therefore, a very unreasonable re quest if we suggest that the session might be grace fully closed with some Ministerial declaration to throw a gleam of light across the gloom of the ap proaching recess. In the ebbs and flews of na tional confidence that are sure to be felt between this and Christmas, a simple, intelligible, and stout-hearted speech from the Minister will be something to look back upon, and to guide us to our whereabouts. It is a well-known receipt for travellers by night, or in a fog, through a moor country, to stop before they strike into a heath, and, while they still know their bearings, ascertain exactly which way the wind blows. The wind itself in that case will tell them the points of the compass, and enable them to avoid any consider able wandering. So, while we are all in the beaten track, with ruts and milestones to help us—that is, while the House of Commons is sitting and Ministers are face to face with the Opposition, let us know which way the wind lies, and then we shall feel the easier as to our emerging in due time, and without damage, from the darksome "recess." The Premier should be the last to complain of a little impatience on this point, when it is con sidered that a vigorous prosecution of the war, with a view to a safe and honourable peace, is now the one article of a standing or falling Administra tion. The Cabinet has been gradually casting its slough, and shedding its decayed branches, in the shape of members who, in one way or another, were not up to the mark—that is, to the war. A suspicious, impatient, sensitive, and even irritable public, has been ever waiting to denounce this man, or that man, as unfit for the crisis ; and some half-dozen Ministers, one after another, have retired, as if conscious that they could not stand the scrutiny that awaited them. It is always so when the feelings of a free people are excited by a great crisis of the national fortunes. At the breaking out of the French Revolution every man who did his work ill, every man in whose hands the cause of the people or the arms of the republic was straightway charged d w i i d th uo it t e s i ee vis m m t , o ciuick prosper, lyd deposed from his office, and sometimes came to an evil end. We are not afraid of the comparison, for it is simply a matter of fact. We have gone on, and we shall certainly still go on, deposing and laying aside every public servant who betrays a want of zeal in the work, and who does not respond to the hopes of the public. It is only just to the men who left the Ministry that they who remain should do so on intelligible grounds. In Lord Palmerston we have the sur vivor of Lord Aberdeen, the Duke of Newcastle, Sir James Graham, Mr. Sidney Herbert, Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Cardwell, and Lord John Russell, all 9f them left behind by the qui a k eli irg pace of a public jealous of national honour, and, there is no denying it, eager for success in arms. How, then, is Lord Palmerston proving himself a better man than those who are lagging in the rear and thrown out of the race ? The actual results give no answer to the question, for results there are none, beyond that blockade of the enemy's ports and the undis puted possession of the seas which we had at this time last year, and which did not avail to save the. Government from disgrace. So the answer, we conceive, is yet to be given.: Of course, it is not expected that Lord Palmer ston should state precisely what is to be attempted, for that would be to give information to the foe, who desires it even more, than ourselves ; nor yet is it wished that before the Conferences are re-opened at Vienna, if that time is ever to come, Lord Palmerston should st a t e w h a t h e i s p re p are d to take as the price of peace. That - would be to hamper the representative of this country in his negotiation. But the public have a right to an assurance that the honour -of the country will not be sold, in some hour of panic or moment of weakness, to the menaces .or the intrigues of the foe. It has already been seen how a few weeks'at Vienna could convert a British Plenipotentiary into a Russian tool, and, if this wonder has been accomplished upon one hitherto supposed to be un usually intractable, there is no reason why it should not occur again. It is said, indeed, to be the purpose and the vocl ,fortune of Russia that she conquers, but not by battles, and that she gains by diplomacy what is denied to her arms. It is clear there is some weh expo,:tation, and she would be only too glad to escape from her present difficul ties by the winding path of negotiation. No doubt Austria would assist gladly enough in getting the Western Powers away from the East, if she could, manage at the same time not to lose ground her self -with the common foe. These are our dangers, and we venture to predict that the next departure of a British Plenipotentiary to Vienna will shake the confidence of the whole British public, unless it has something more than the story of the last negotiation to rely upon. That something may be supplied by Lord Palmerston, and never had a statesman placed by ProviclAnce at the head of a great nation at the period of a great crisis so im portant a task to perform, and so inexhaustible a fund of patriotism to appeal to. THE PE.RTU.RBATIONS OF GLADSTONE. (From the Examiner) There was a time when all the astronomical world was perplexed by the disorderly ways of the planet Uranus, the movements, or, as Mrs. Honor would prefer to phrase it, the " goings on" of which could not be reconciled with the general fashion of the celestial bodies. Uranus set astronomic laws at utter defiance. Uranus was unruly. The astro nomers never knew where to have him. His con duct was wholly unaccountable. At last the idea struck a Prussian, and an English astronomer, that Uranus might have better reason for his behaviour than the world had given him credit for, and that what had been called his perturbations might be his appointed movements in obedience to the at tractions of a star fixed in a certain place. Obser vations were accordingly directed to the place where Uranus' governor should be, if a governor he had ; and Neptune was discovered at about the same time in Berlin and London. The problem was solved, and Uranus was brought under astro nomic control, and no longer disorderly and vagabond. The perturbations of Gladstone have hardly per plexed the political world less than the perturba tions of Uranus puzzled the astronomical. No one can make out to what system he belongs. No one knows where to find him, but the most unlikely place is the most probable. His orbit is an eccen tricity defying all calculation. We claim the merit however, of solving this problem. Gladstone has his Neptune under the name of Cobden. The at- ; traction of Cobden irresistibly rules the Peelite , planetary world, and it will be found uniformly following him. Cobden is the centre of the system, and sways it according to established laws Of attraction. The Peelites had held out for the corn laws against the free trade arguments of Colonel Thompson, Mr. C. Villiers, and Mr. Gibson, which had exhausted the question, hut they became converts to Mr. Cobden, who added nothing to the facts and reasoning of the early labourers in the vineyard, and who only marshalled the trite arguments in a popular order, and ad dressed them to the minds of men with his admir able energy and earnestness. The Poolites could resist the demonstrations of Thompson, Villiers, and Gibson, but Cobden was born to rule them. In due course they fell under his attraction. Well, we aro now seeing a repetition of the same pheno menon, and shall doubtless witness many more till Mr. Gladstone and his friends have completed the circle of Mr. Cobden's politics, including, of course, universal suffrage and the ballot. When in office these gentlemen, gravitating to their seats, com menced and conducted the war ; but Cobden's more powerful attraction soon beginning to act upon them, they were drawn into the path of peace at any price, and ale now undoubtedly eligible candidates for the Peace Association. Call not this inconsistency. It is no more inconsistency than the flux and reflux of the tides. It is simply the consequence of theCobden attraction on bodies within its influence. It is very likely that they are them selves unconscious of what governs them at the time of full and change, but the ruling power is not for that loss irresistible, and they wane from one thing and fill to another without knowing why. Hence we have Gladstonizations because he cannot explain that he is Cobdenized. So Uranus, when he was troubling every observatory in the world with his perturbations, had neither consciousness nor organs to explain that he was Neptunized. But put Cobden in the ascendant, and all Mr. Gladstone's* eccentricities become intelligible. Mr. Bright has his part in the influence, it is true, and it is a sort of double star that rules the Peelite world—the Cobden-cum-Bright. And the complete ness of their sway may be marked in the instance of the newspaper stamp, which would have been about the last impost of Mr. Gladstone would have removed if he had been master of his own judgment and policy ; but Mr. Bright willed it otherwise, and Mr. Gladstone could no more disobey than Newton's apple could refuse to fall to the ground when the law of attraction commanded. In the course of time, and probably a short time, we shall see many more phenomena of the same sort, till the Peelites have completed their pericob den. Indeed, from what they have done it may now be calculated with sufficient accuracy, when they will be in universal suffrage ; when in the ballot ; when in the separation of church and State ; and when in the voluntary system. Some osscillations may be expected from a little diver sity detween the influences of the ruling stars— Cobden and Bright, and we should not be sur prised if Mr. Gladstone were to evince a tendency to drab, and to hooks and eyes, which are mechani cal subtleties of connexion and disconnexion pecu liarly suited to his turn of genius. Whenever he breaks with buttons it will be an unappeasable quarrel, as bitter at bottom and sleek on th e sur face as that with a cast-off opinion or colleague. ROIIEN.—The letters from Rouen state that the mar, ket for manufactures was steady, with a fair amount o business for the year. DEPARTURES FOR AIISTRALIA.—The departures from the port of London for the Australian colonies during the week have comprised seven vessels —three to Port Phillip, two to Adelaide, one to Sydney, and one to Port Fairy—with au aggregate capacity of 3,080 tons. The rates of freight exhibit little alteration. AMERICA.—The specie brought by the American steamer is 130,0001. The advices this week are unim portant, although more business was taking place than is usual during the heats of summer. The harvest con tinued to excite much interest, and, notwithstanding some considerable damage to the wheat in Western New York and parts of Pennsylvania from a deluge of rain, accompanied by a close temperature, the accounts on the whole, are highly favourable. Throughout the greater part of the country the crops had already been secured, and in fine condition. An increase of confidence, con sequent upon the general extent of the yield, was be coming evident in all quarters, and from the transport of produce there was a great revival of activity on most of the western railroads. The money and stock markets were without material change : but the specie in the banks continued to accumulate, and discounts were more readily granted. Erie Railroad Stock was quoted 511 ; Panama Railway, 104 ; Reading, 90 ; and Illinois Central Railway Bonds, 87. The telegraph between New York and St. John, Newfoundland, wag expected to be in operation in six or eight weeks. Across the Gulf of St. Lawrence the communication will be by a submarine cable 70 miles in length, lately manufactured for the purpose in this country. As soon as the line is open the Atlantic steamers will, it is said, call at St. John to deliver and receive messages, and thus the in terval between Liverpool and and New York may be re duced to six or seven days. Preparations for these arrangements are in progess at the Port of St.Vohn, and depots of coal are being formed there. A line of telegraph between Boston, Cape Cod, and Nantucket is also in course of construction, the advantages of which will be felt chiefly by the shipping interest, especially in connec tion with the numerous wrecks which take place along the coast. Naval and Military Intelligence. The following general order has been issued from the Horse Guards, dated Aug. 10 : " The General Commanding-in-Chief has received the Queen's commands to • express to Colonel Hans Sul berger, and the officers and men of the British Swissi Legion, the high satisfaction with which her Majesty in passing down their line yesterday, witnessed - the soldier like appearance of this trained body of men, rea4 for any service. The characteristic courage and fide,lity of # Swiss soldiers will insure for the Legion, on ji:)i leg her Majesty's forces in the East, that cordial we me fret their comrades of the British army to whit ye men are ever entitled. This general order will b muni cated to the Swiss Legion by Colonel Kinlo , I'ispec tor-General." The Perseverance steam troopship, Captain Harris, is in dry dock at Portsmouth after her first voyage. The topple over and consequent twisting she experienced in the •dock at Woolwich has established a leak that no patching, or tinkering, or docking will ever effegtually remedy, but the substitution of the light masts of a bri gantine might effect much for her. The Polyphemus, 6, paddle-sloop, received her , masts yesterday in the basin at Portsmouth. The Malacca, 17, Captain Farquhar, having repaired her defects at Portsmouth dockyard, left the jetty yesterday, ready to rejoin the Royal squad ron escort. The steam despatch vessel Vivid, Master- Commander Allen, embarked the Lords of the Privy Council on their arrival at the Clarence-yard, Gosport, yesterday, and conveyed them to Osborne, to submit to her Majesty the terms of the prorogation of Parliament.

Mr. BpolleY, C. 13., the Acoonntant-General of the Navy,` and staff, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday on an official visit ; he will be followed to-day by the Hon. Robert Dundas, Storekeeper-General, and staff ; and the principal mem bers of the Board of Admiralty are also expected there to-day, to commence their annual inspection. As far as is at present known, the following officers, men, and horses will embark on board the Royal mail steam transport Trent, No. 94, Captain Woolward, at Southampton this day—viz., 23 officers, 141 men, and 156 horses. They will comprise 2 officers, 88 men, and 114 horses of the Royal Artillery, for Scutari ; 3 o ffi cers, 53 men, and 5 horses, of the Ist Dragoons, for the Cri mea ; several men and horses belonging to General Beatson's Irregular Cavalry, for the Crimea ; and some Government passengers and spare horses for officers in the East. Among the officers to be conveyed by the Trent are—Major Chapman, 48th Regiment ; Major Logan, 57th Regiment ; Major Green, 3d Regiment ; Captains Pittman and Villiers, Major Brennan, and As sistant-Surgeon Wilkinson, of General Beatson's Irre gular Cavalry; Col. Forbes, Capt. Farquharson, Major Stedman, and Captain Crawford, 98th Regiment ; Cap tains Morant and Burrard, Grenadier Guards ; and Cap tain Dillon, 30th Regiment. Assistant-Surgeon Hop kins, of the Royal Albert, and the Rev. Mr. Cramer are likewise passengers by the Trent. The whole of the men and horses are expected at Southampton in the course of to-day. They will immediately embark, and the ship will proceed on her voyage to-morrow. The Trent dur ing her stay at Southampton has undergone a thorough refit ; the entire of the old horseboxes have been re moved, and new ones placed in their stead. This vessel is now capable of carrying with the greatest ease up wards of 200 horses, and the boxes have been so fitted as to give the animals plenty of air and room. Had every available space been crammed into stalls, the Trent doubtless would have stowed many more. On her ar rival at Gibraltar a sufficient number of mules will be in readiness to embark to occupy the vacant boxes which are left for their reception. The Caradoc was yesterday morning taken into dock at Woolwich, to have her defects remedied, and it is ex pected that she will very soon be recommissioned. The Harbinger, with a full cargo of guns, shot, shells, acc., and a heavy battering train, sailed from Woolwich on Sunday morning for the Black Sea, Three officers of the Rifle Brigade took a passage by her. The Sydney steam transport is being . laden off Wool wich with military stores and a battering train to pro ceed to the Bosphorus, to await orders there. The Sovereign sailed yesterday from Greenhithe. A medical board assembled yesterday morning at Woolwich Barracks to examine the state of the wounded Sappers and Miners who have been pronounced unfit for duty. The medals aro to be distributed to-morrow. The Derwent screw steam-transport has arrived at Woolwich, and has taken her position off the Arsenal to receive her cargo of ammunition, &c., for the Black Sea. Another regiment, the 64th, is placed at the disposal of the Commander-in-Chief by the death of Sir Richard Bourke, K.C.B. The gallant general expired suddenly at his seat in the county of Limerick on Sunday last, immediately after returning from divine service at Castle con nell Church. The last detachment of the 15th Hussars has been sent from Exeter to Manchester to join the depot at that place. There are now in the Exeter bairacks 27 rank and file of the 11th Hussars, and it is expected they will follow the 15th to Manchester on the arrival at the former place of the depots of the Ist Dragoon Guards and the Ist Carbineers. Messrs. Losh, Wilson, and Bell, of the Walker Iron works, Newcastle-on-Tyne, after having completed a large order for shells for the Turkish Government, are now engaged for the British Government in constructing 35,000 shells of from 8 inches to 13 inches, besides a number of mortars. They are employed in the manu facture of a shell of a new construction, invented by Mr. Benson, of Allerwash. A speeimon of this new shell, when tried at Walker, flew into 26 pieces. The Go vernment has been supplied with specimens, which are being e xperimented upon at Woolwich. Mr. James Wilkinson Elliott, a surgeon belonging to the Royal Albert, was brought to the Devon County Gaol, at Exeter, on Friday, from Plymouth, where he was landed, to undergo a sentence of two years' impri sonment, without hard labour, for neglect of duty and unfeeling conduct in the Crimea. He was tried at Kamiesoh by court-martial, where the sentence he is now undergoing was pronounced upon him. The follovring draughts from the depots of Highland regiments in Scotland are under orders to proceed to the seat of war, :-6 officers and 91 men from the depot of the 42d, at Stirling ; 5 officers and 63 men from the depot of the 71st, at Perth ; 6 officers and 61 men from the 79th, at Aberdeen ; and 3 officers and 46 men from the 93d, at Dundee ; in all, 20 officers and 241 men, The 92d depot, in Edinburgh Castle, have received great accession to their number of late, and will also soon be ready to contribute draughts to the service. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty : Rear-Admiral Sir W. F. Carroll, already announced as being appointed Lieutenant-Governor of Greenwich Hospital, has his appointment confirmed. Captain Lewis T. Jones, in the command of the Lon don, on duty in the Black Sea, to the Princess Royal, 91, in the room of Captain Lord Clarence Paget, in valided. Captain Augustus L. Kuper is appointed to the Lon don, vice Captain L. T. Jones. Captain William Moorsom to the command of th• Leander, vice Captain William Peel, invalided. Captain H. E. Edgell to the Tribune. Master John Waye (confirmed) to the Furious. Assistant-Surgeon John Hickens (confirmed) to the Sphynx. Additional Clerk 11. Knight to the Alecto. Captain Gossett, Royal Engineers, son of Major Gossett, Barrackmaster at Cork, has obtained the ap pointment of Surveyor-General in Ceylon. The salary is 1,200/. a-year. The 15th Regiment, which lately left Cork for Dub lin, where it is at present stationed, is going out almost immediately to the Crimea. It is expected that the 2d Somerset Militia will replace the 15th in Dublin. Thu MILITIA DISTURBANCES AT PONTEFRACT. — Yesterday, Ensign Mosse, of the let West York Rifles, now stationed at Pontefract, was charged before the mayor and the borough magistrates at that town, with assaulting Richard Ward, a police officer, on the Ist inst., while in the execution of his duty. It appeared from the evidence that on the night of the Ist inst. the defendant, and other officers and civilians, were in the streets of Pontefract under circumstances which led Ward and a constable named Lindley to watch their proceedings, in anticipation of a disturbance. About 12 o'clock they were seen to cross the street to some young men who had whistled to them in a tantalising manner, and high words arising, Ward and Lindley crossed over, and Ward said, "Now, I can't allow any more of this kind of work," or words to that effect, and at the same time took hold of the defendant by the arm. Mosse turned round and struck the policeman over the arm with a thick stick he had with him, and Ward, in consequence, ordered Lindley to arrest him. Mosse, who was very much excited, ies.sted for some time, but assistance having been rendered by the by standers, he was secured. At the same time Ward ap- prehended another of the officers, Lieutenant Hebden, who went quietly with him to the police-station. While Mosse was being conveyed to the police-office, a picket went up, and Mosso appealed to them jto release him, but after the officer in charge of the picket had commu nicated with Lindley, who had Mosse in custody, he refused to interfere. Great distnrbance, however, took place in the neighbourhood of the police-office, and threats were made by some of the younger officers of the regiment to burn the place down, but Lieutenant Hebden, who seemed to be more judicious than his juniors, ordered the privates present to stand back, and not to interfere, an order which they obeyed, and no further disturbance took place, and after the officers in custody had given their names they were liberated. THE ROYAL NORTHERN AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY AT ABERDEEN.—The annual show of the Royal Northern Agricultural Society took place on Thursday, on the Links at Aberdeen. The numbers of stock brought for ward fell considerably short of the number of entries, as well as of the average number exhibited on former oc casions. There were a few very select Highland oxen. r.e animal which, of all others, attracted the most at tention was Mr. M'Combie's black-polled bull. He was adorned with three prizes. The horses were a veryre" show. The show of sheep was good. The sho w ° 11/- plegtOntll WM Meagre!. HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO FIANCE. PORTSMOT3TII, MONDAY.

After her Majesty has landed in France the squadron will retire and rendezvous in the Downs until her Ma jesty's return. At the Privy Council held this afternoon at Osborne, Rear-Admiral the Hon. Sir Maurice Frederick Fitzhar dingo Berkeley, K.C.8., M.P., was created a Privy Councillor, and the above arrangements for the sailing and rendezvousing of the Royal squadrons were made. Some alterations have been made in the ships which are to form the escort squadron since we last reported them. The Horatio, 24, is ordered to accompany the Glatton to the Black Sea when ready, and the Inflexible is ordered to be paid off, so the force will consist of— The Neptune, 120, Captain Hutton (flag). The St. George, 120, Captain Eyres, C.B. The Sanspareil, 71, Captain Woodford J. Williams. The Malacca, 17, Captain Arthur Farquhar. The Rosamond, 6, paddle-sloop, Commander Crofton. The Sealark, G, Lieutenant Lowther. The Rolla, 6, Lieutenant Fenwick. The Fire Queen, despatch yacht, Master Commander Pn13.1. The Sprightly, steam tender, Acting-Master G. Allen. The Queen's squadron, under the command of Captain the Hon. Joseph Denman, will consist of— The Victoria and Albert, Captain Denman, carrying the Queen and Court. The Osborne, Captain T. R. Sulivan. The Fairy, Blaster-Commander Welch. The Black Eagle, Admiralty yacht, Master-Com mander Petley. The Vivid, despatch packet, Master-Commander Allen. The Rosamond will convey the Queen's equipages, &c. The Victoria and Albert has been in constant requisi tion since she was first tenanted by her Majesty ; indeed her Majesty lives much on board, for such are the com forts and attractions of the yacht that they outrival those of the palace ashore. Tbis yacht is truly a tri umph of marine beauty, skill, and science ; she glides noiselessly over the surface of the water at an average speed exceeding 18 knots per hour (faster than a Parlia mentary train travels on a railway) ; there have been no doing and undoing, no docking, undocking, re docking, tinkering, adapting, or expensive experiment ing, but from the moment her fires were fret lighted to the present she has been what she is now, the nearest to marine perfection of anything afloat, and she will doubtlessly be the grand object of universal curiosity to our friends across the Channel on her forthcoming trip. She will come into harbour for a few hours only next Friday to replenish fuel, and ex change a very bad anchor of the old Admiralty make for one of the last and most modern, patented by Mr. John Trotman, whose principle is being extensively used in the French navy. Four and a-quarter hours is the time calculated upon for the Royal yacht to traverse the 96 miles from Osborne to Boulogne on Saturday next. It is stated that on her Majesty's return from France his Royal Highness the Prince Consort will take a trip up the Baltic in the Royal yacht. [PRICE 4D• STAMPED SD• MR. JOHN RUSSELL. So call him. He was a lord—Lord John Russell, the other day, by courtesy--a representative of London by confidence—a supernumerary member of the Cabinet by policy. Like the solemn gentleman whom Coleridge met at a dinner and admired for his pregnant gravity, but who broke the charm at the introduction of apple dump lings, by exclaiming, " Them's the jockeys for me !" Mr. John was a Solomon until the other day he opened his mouth wide enough to allow the truth for the first time in his life to escape, and England has pronounced him a blockhead. His prestige is gone. He has been discovered by everybody to be what sensible men have always known him to be—an aristocrat disguised as a Liberal, and has received his passport to private life. The political career of no man who has figured conspi cuously in British public life has been more singular. Without the genius of Burke, the eloquence of Fox, the talent of Pitt, the wit of Canning, has kept a forward and successful position in politics, which none of those really great men—Pitt excepted—was able to secure. His first aspirations were Parnassian—he composed sonnets, a tragedy, awl haunted Byron and Moore. The divine a f flatus, unfanned by the slightest critical applause, failing him, he ascended from poetry to politics, consented to be an auxiliary of the learned and busy Henry Brougham, and the busy and unlearned Greye, in their crusade for re form ; and, wearing the name of the Russells, was consi dered as a fair representative of the old Whigs, whose support was invaluable in purifying the reform movement from the odium of Radi calism, which Cobbett, Burdett, and Henry Hunt had conferred upon it. The triumph of 1832 left Mr. John in a very prosperous way. The reversion of anything good, to which mediocre talents, plausibility, and the popularity always earned by an exterior of easy good humour, are considered titles, fell to his share. He has since traded on the capital of his party, bating the splendid thefts which Sir Robert Peel made from it now and then, and his appearance prominently in politics has always followed the decline of the Conservatives and Tories. He has taken the vacant Ministerial berth be• cause he was respectable, because somebody next to nobody was wanted by way of interreign—because his politics, in a general sense, consisted in negations—the negation of all outgoing doctrines being the cardinal point, and, of course, a very serviceable one at moments of change. Whenever, in short, the tempest bad been weathered, and the craft left floating on summer seas, —as in 1846-7, for instance—Mr. John was the mac in whose hands to place the tiller, his supposed lack of sufficient original power to vary the course dangerously one way or the other being his chief re commendation. His skill as a pilot, however, has of late been found to consist in a certain mischievous ability to strand the vessel in a calm, saving himself at the critical moment, and leaving his shipmates floundering in the water. Among other of Mr. John's noticeable traits is his continued favour among the good people of Cockaigne. Mr. John is found to be a jack-o'-lantern ; he has led his followers into a bog, and they are over head and ears be fore they discover the unreality of their guide. Mr. John is a clever impostor, whose ready, but meaningless word, always attended by a ready and meaningless smile—a sort of intellectual lightning never succeeded by thunder — kept a confiding House of Commons in a good humour, and thrilled the very hearts' cores of admiring Cockneys with affection and respect. Great speeches, great sayings, great deeds are remembered of Peel, Brougham, of Disraeli, of Cobden ; but what great thing, deed, or adage is ascribed to Mr. John ? He has been an illus trious nobody ; an article taken at an exaggerated ap praisement ; an algebraic quantity assumed through along problem as equal to something immense, and found in the answer to be zero. As the class of eligible public men in England is purged of such shams there will grow np more solid successors. A shirt on a pole judiciously placed in a turret or loophole may sometimes delude a besieging force, but the English Opposition is too shrewd to be so practised on by even the Ministry of a Palmer ston.—Azucricau paper. THE CHOLERA. TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—lt is, I believe, generally allowed that cholera broke out first during the Mabratta War. From this fact it would appear that man then inhaled some noxious vapour, or that the decomposing substances of a camp, coming in contact with the impure air of those vast jungles which cover a large portion of India, generated some gas which caused cholera, and which, having once been produced, has constantly spread. That such noxious airs pervade the thick jungles of India, especially along the banks of the large rivers, is, I think, proved by the fact of the 78th Highlanders losing almost the whole regiment along the banks of the Indue in its march to Burrachee at an unhealthy season of the year. The disease was a virulent fever. To find out what the state of the air is which produces cholera, I would recommend a systematic analysis of the air in our hospitals in all parts of the world, and particularly in those localities in which cholera may break out. Where two or three people have died in a house from cholera, I would analyse the air, having previously ex hausted the air from a large glass jar. I would also ascertain the state of the air at a height of 60 feet above an infected town. This may be done by exhausting the air from a large glass jar placed on the ground, and con ducting air into it from any height. When it is °n y c _ e , found out in what qualities air thus infected is defe.loctiai:. I think chemical science will be able to do much t infect houses, and even the atmosphere °f e r ich many town. I have known houses in India i infected persons have died from cholera, one of b een other, been infected. whilst houses close by have hardly ever hemical that cholera is in the This would seem to favour the idea t wbich produces it I air. What the state of the a confidently believe may be t e h l ou b g y ht e . science. I think the trial is %v.°. ._ India A Large aisfrctle:r t a z i i: ii • America, tracts of land are now headily a ; whic i la it Canada, and the West Inl e h s .

Dawlis b 1 a u gust 11, 1855. VIATOR. At the Ministerial fish di nner, which took place at Greenwich on Wednesday last, a costly china cup was presented to the Right Hon. W. G. Hayter, MX., by the members of her Majesty's Government, as a remem brance of the zeal and activity displayed by that gen tleman in the discharge of his arduous duties during the present session. • z cz. ••• . *i) ir3r7 # • NE, - - - Nv-, _ 1 1 ".• 'At DESPATCH FROM GENIMIL • /• The Moniteur of yesterday (Monday) contains i the following :•••• The Minister of War has received the following report from General Pelizsier, dated July 31 : " MONSIEUR LE MAEICHAL, —The besieged have mad, another attempt upon our works on the Malakoff side ; but it was as unsuccessful as their previous endeavours. " In the night of the 24th of July, towards midnight, the enemy, under cover of a sharp fire, made a sortie with about 150 me; from the left of the little Redan, upela our ambuscades at the extreme right, which they endea voured to turn, We are very near the place at thi point ; the night was very dark ; and they were upon our gabionade in an instant. " General Bisson, of the Dulao Division, who com manded the advanced brigade, had given precise and detailed orders on each point, and bad confided the de fence of the right to Lieut.-Colon e l de Taxis, an officer of great merit. " Although the enemy attacked the first rank of our working parties, he was warmly received and much in jured by the musketry of the Chasseurs-a-pied and of some companies of the 10th Regiment of the Line, placed on the right and left of the work, and command ing, from the scarp, all who could harass the working parties, who themselves took part in the action, an d conducted themselves very well, under the direction of the Captain of Engineers Lecasq, who was charged, that evening, with the direction of the works on that point. "The Russians retired, leaving with us a wounded titan, who died before reaching the ambulance, and eight corpses between our ambuscades and the ditch of the place. It is to be inferred that our fire brought down a large number of the enemy, because they were occupied for two or three hours in the depth of the night in carry ' ing off their killed and wounded, and nevertheless they loft some upon the ground. ",This little night engagement, in which only about ten of our men were lost, does honour to the General, to the superior officers who commanded on this aide of our attack, as well as to the officers, subalterns, and soldiers, among whom I will confine myself to mention to your Excellency Serjeant Casaux, of the 10th Grenadiers of the Line, who bayoneted several Russians, and the rifle. man Eye, of the Imperial Guard, who killed two. " The works were recommenced as soon as the enemy were driven back into the place, Your Excellency knows that everywhere they have been vigorously urged forward, and that hitherto the besieged have made no new attempts to disturb them. With this view, indeed, they continue to employ their artillery, whose fire ac quires more vivacity during the night ; but we neverthe. less always advance and progress.--Accept, &c., " PELISSIER, General-in-Ohief." FETE AT CREMORNE. SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO THE MILITARY. Last night Cremorne Gardens were the scene of a grand fete, in aid of the Wellington College, established for the children of our soldiers who may fall during the war. The charge of admission was raised from ls. to 2s. Gd., notwithstanding which the assemblage was much more numerous than upon ordinary occasions. Extensive preparations had been made to give due eclat to the proceedings ; the programme, in addition to the attractions ordinarily held out, including the attendance of no less than six regimental bands, together with that of 500 soldiers, and three battering trains, to take part in the "Attack on th e Mamelon Vert, and Capture of the Rifle Pits," a fete arranged to commence at nine o'clock, and anxiously anticipated by the hundreds of gentlemen and ladies who had paid an extra two shil lings for reserved seats, or one shilling for reserved standing places. It was, however, nearly ten before the officers in command gave the signal of attack. Sebas topol itself was very well represented by a huge pano ramic painting, extending, perhaps, about 40 yards, the Mamelon being separately represented in advance, with real trenches, protected by fascines and sandbags in front of all, and well lined with soldiers of the "red, white, and blue." The "battering trains," it mast be confessed, if not altogether of an apocryphal nature, were if very modest pretensions, for it was seldom that any thing louder than the sharp crack of the rifle was to be distinguished in the melee, although the 500 soldiers were no doubt present upon the ground, and, sufficiently impressed with the gravity of the events in which they were called upon to take part, resolved to conquer, if fate so willed it, or peiish in the attempt. Hence there was a profuse expenditure of gunpowder, some of the men having been served with as many as 40 rounds of blank cartridge, and when the grand and final charge was made, loud was the outburst of cheers which greeted the banners of the Allies as they waved from the Rus sian works. Daring a considerable portion of the attack, however, the spectators knew little of what was passing in the trenches or before them, as a thick veil of smoke effectually shut them ont from the view ; and when the whole affair was at an end, hundreds were quite at a loss to know whether the Mamelon bad been captured or not. The attack was well arranged, and the effect was oc casionally very striking ; but, it is to be regretted, that an accident occurred. Just as the Mamelon was sup posed to be captured, the stage erected for the advance gave way beneath the weight of the soldiery, many of whom were precipitated to the ground, a distance of 12 or 15 feet, and in the fall a sergeant of the Grenadiers sustained a compound fracture of the leg ; another man was taken up insensible from internal injury ; a third had a bayonet through his cheek ; and, in addition to these injuries, there were many dislocations, sprains, and contusions, the greater part of the vast company of spectators being all the while ignorant of the occurrence of any such catastrophe. Every exertion was made to assist the injured by direction of the officers in charge, and by 12 o'clock about 25 men had been conveyed, in cabs or on stretchers, to the military hospital in Roches ter-row, Westminster, where several surgeons residing in the neighbourhood hastened to give their assistance to the resident medical officer. Upon inquiring at the hospital, we were informed that no case was likely to end fatally, but that it was impossible accurately to state the extent of the injuries inflicted until to-day. At the close of the attack the usual amusements pro ceeded at high pressure ; and Cremorne was never perhaps seen to greater advantage than was the case last night. THE CHOLERA EPIDEMIC. Yesterday was issued the report of the Committee for Scientific Inquiries in relation to the cholera epidemic, which reached its height in 1854. This, like the pre vious epidemic, extended over portions of two years, and the deaths in London, which were not very numerous in 1853, slightly exceeded the deaths in 1848. The deaths by cholera and diarrhcea in 1854 were, however, 5,000 less than the number that would have been told had the e?idernic been as fatal as the epidemic of 1849, allowing ten per cent. for the increase in the population. In 1849 Cie deaths from cholera were 14,137 ; from diarrhcea, 3,899 ; making together 18,036. In 1854 the deaths from cholera were 10,806 ; from diarrhcea, 4,000 ; toge ther 14,806 ; showing that the reduction of mortality in 1851, as compared with 1849, was 4,781 deaths from cholera, and 299 from diarrhoea. The second outbreak began later in the season in the last epidemic than it did in the epidemic of 1849, and the diminished figure of the mortality arises from the smaller number of deaths in the months of July and August. The disease had lost none of its virulence, and the deaths by cholera in September, 1854, being 6,084, exceeded the deaths in September, 1849, by 1,053. The danger of an attack of cholera varies with age ; thus, at the age of 15.25, out of 100 persons attacked, 34.9 die ; at the age of 25-35, the deaths to 100 cases are 35.4 ; at 65-75, the deaths to 100 cases are 58.2. The mortality of cases of diarrhcea also varies at different ages. The mortality among the male population was at the rate of 47, among the female population at the rate of 45 in 10,008. The council are of opinion that the public apprehension for the sanitary state of the metropolis should suffer no abate ment, but that the most active and complete measures should be adopted to prevent the approach or to miti gate the violence of impending visitations. The council, in closing their report, suggest that these inquiries, to be useful, ought to be continued in the absence of the disease, which they aim at elucidating. It seems cer tair, they add, that in the chemistry of organic decom position there is concealed a large share of the mystery to be solved, and it is impossible yet to say how much of the remainder may belong to undeveloped bran ches e of meteorological science. Opportunities, therefnor, ought nut to be lost for establishing a better !loniam%a. , 1 standard than is yet discovered to measure the cr% d 81 and meteorological anomalies of an epidemic pe i in th el e ai f r a ' c la t a t til ha il t th a n c. and A Co . correspondencean d the Post-officeb etwee n2 s f e e s l i s c rs i t . e S d hip that may leave this country by any foreign private s cording to a standing regulation mailsare notdespatched office should decline to accep p 11y ni sending even although the senders m a t y r d es esi o r n e s i i t b .. r T t ha . t the Post letters by vessels over whi b o u b t it the is yhave no. jurisdiction e e a s e s reason e f a o s r e denying Messrs, can be easily understood , . .t in the present age of mercantile competition between all the nations of our people the the h p o r r ose to av a il e o et yh a t ec e d several letters, prepaid, to the Cape themselves of it at their Hamilton, Sin taohdwevnawn4gd. 0 Co.ti o fl nt e ph e Clair, a u " per M ascareignes, at Swan of Good Hope, ospueb,sealddureenstsleyd discovered .

After a persevering inquiry, the answer was obtained that the letters of the other firms had been forwarded by acci dent, and that the whole should have been detained, the Mascareignes being a foreign ship. The result of the rule is that any persons, in cases of this sort, evading the ship postage by sending their letters to be put on board by an agent enjoys a means of communication which is denied in a regular way.
