By SAMUEL LA'MERT. M.D. 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE. LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin, burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society Licentiat.: of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., 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 tood, 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 the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled: It is absolutely necessary that all man should know, that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed tte heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences maybe avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive pra ctice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have unfortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant em pirics, Who inflict great injury on those who aro induced to place faith in their pretensions.

STAMPED -533 Russell,, has already propitiated Mr. Roebuck by up setting the late Ministry, and has now propitiated fate by his own fall. The second is Lord Palmerston himself, and, as he 'really is the only one that pre sents even a p;.inta facie case for the summary proceed in; s, Mr. Roebuck suggests we will give him a separate consideration. • The question, then, as cleared and extricated by Mr. Roebuck himself, is simply this :—What has Lord Palmerston done, on the evidence and in the opinion of the Sebastopol Committee, to demand that he should be immediately ejected from the Government ? Being Home Secretary last year, he did not worry Lord Aber deen to worry the Duke of. Newcastle to do his work batter. He did not ask for Cabinet meetings. He was not at his post constantly in the . autumn, ostensibly making manufacturers consume their own smoke, really stirring up the Duke of Newcastle. What else did he fail in I Well, there was something else. I He carried out the Militia Act rather slackly. But we very much doubt whether the British public will push things so far as to quarrel with Lord Palmerston for not meddling enough with the affairs of his chief and his c•llea;ues last year. The truth is, that he has long laboured under the reputation of being rather too meddlesome, and in this instance it will be•concluded that he would have been only too happy to meddle, if he' might have been allowed. Nay, on further consideration, it will 'be remembered that Lord PalmerstOn was especially put into a quiet office, out of harm's way, sur rounded by a crowd of sanitary reformers, undertakers, gra,vediggirs, manufacturers, select vestrymen, and other small metropolitan fry. As for the operation of the Militia Act, that, as it happens, has not come into question. But there, again, is another sore point in which the British public must consent to share the blame with their Minister. At the express wish of the people, declared in a most unequivocal manner, the Mi litia Act was made a less stringent Measure than that proposed by th© previous Government, and the late Go. vernmEnt came in by getting rid of the hallo" - , But, in sober truth, the Militia Act and its operation are not under review, and Mr. Roebuck has not mentioned it, except by a general charge, reflecting on all the Govern mints; Parliaments, and people we have had for twenty yeare, that we had not provided a re.,erve sufficient for the magnitude of the Crimean expedition, and the rapid drain of such a war. So there ends the case - as regards the only man whom Mr. Roebuck himself would think at the same time worth punishing, and still un punished. But if Time has thus defrauded justice at home, and left Mr. Roebuck looking about indignantly for the vic tim to be immolated in special honour of the ,Sebastopol Committee, that same awful poe er has made greater changes at the seat of war. There all is change. Mr. Roebuck himself is obliged to pronoun ce, not indeed an acquittal, but a eulogium on Lord Raglan. Yet, when it comes to plain matter of fact, if Lord Raglan is to be acquitted of the imperfectly prepared expedition, the want of transport, the defective arrangements for the carriage and care of the wounded and sick, and the want of a communication from the harbour to the camp, it is impossible to lay hold of any one man in this country, and say that he is more answerable for these things than the Commander-in-Chief on the spot. The offenders whom the indignation of tha public has successively ar raigned, justly as we believe, have fled from our poor earthly tribunals, one after another, to that before which we must all one day tremble. We summon them inte court, and the answer is, that they are no more. All things considered, then, we can not anticipate any other result of the question than that which Time itself, quicker than Parliamentary process, ha 3 already brought. The report of the Sebastopol Committee may still afford matter for discussion ; it will long continue to throw light on the official system of this country; and it ren ders the present Cabinet inexcusable if they do nut avoid the errors and neglects of their predecessors. But it has ceased to be available for the furtherance of justice and the indictment of the offenders. They may profess to appeal to it, and to challenge a trial upon its contents; but they know that their appeal is safe enough, and that the past is now laid•on the shelf. THE NEWSPAPER STAMP ACT. (Prom the Times of this day.) The public will remember the peculiar advantages which were promised from the amendment of the News japer Stamp Law. E n t er p r i se was to b e relieved of its Mmmels, education was to be wondrously promoted, political knowledge was to find its way into every corner of the country, and popular ignorance was gradually to disappear. These desirable results were to be accom plished by a certain specific agency—viz., that of penny daily papers. Over this point no obscurity whatever was permitted to rest. The one thing which was wanted to insure the perfect freedom, perfect efficacy, and per fect utility of the press was an issue of daily papers at one penny each. It was for this that agitation was so tenaciously maintained. Nobody ventured to deny that the press of this country, as it stood, was more indepen dent, more serviceable, and more decorously conducted than that of any other country. Nobody asserted that either the metropolitan papers or the country papers could be called expensive articles at the current prices. What was said was, that a less expensive article was called for, and that the production of this commodity was prohibited by the compulsory stamp. Of course, it was obvious to remark that, as this stamp was only a penny, that alone need not keep the price of a newspaper at sd. If a penny or a halfpenny per copy would in reality suffice to remunerate the pro ducers of a good journal, it was plain that the whole selling price, even including the stamp, need have been only 2d. or lid. The stamp could, at any rate, be only answerable for one penny out of the five. Here, how ever, it was replied that the manner in which the stamp operated no destructively was in preventing the circula tion of newspapers at the particular price of a penny, and no more. This was the magical figure which was to work such wonders. To produce newspapers at 4d., 3d., or VA., was of no use ; in fact, the thing had been tried without success ; nothing would serve the real turn but newspapers at id. Any advance above this sum was fatal, nor was there much difference, for this matter, be tween 2.1 d. and sd. Tho key of the whole argument lay in the "penny,"—in that single, small, ever-pre sent, and easily-spared coin, which nobody would be grudge for his daily news. Well, the law was amended, the stamp was removed, and Mr. Milner Gibson, Mr. Cobden, and their inde fatigable friends were gratified with this enfranchise ment of the press. What has been the result ? To be sure, the new system has not been very long in opera tion, but the experience already acquired appears to have convinced the managers of at least one establishment of a very notable fact—to wit, that a penny daily paper such as the public look for, and the " tax-on-knowledge' people designed, can never be maintained with a proper remuneration to its producers. Such, at least, is the published conclusion of the Yorkshire Daily Express, a paper issued on the new system under circumstances un usually favourable. We should not have cared to assert or defend such commercial maxims on our own proper authority, but the fact is communicated to the world as the result of actual experiment with more than ordinary promise of success. It seems that the conductors of the Leeds Times, observing that Manchester and Liverpool were getting their " penny dailies" under the new system, resolved on giving their own district the benefit of a similar issue, and accordingly started the Leeds and Yorkshire Daily Express, price one penny. We have two or three numbers of this journal before us. It seems to be very respectably " got up ;" has its " latest intelligence," its " telegraphic," and so forth, and, as one of the articles in its leading columns appears in each of the numbers before us to be transcribed from our own pages, we presume we cannot well demur to the "ability" of the production. Never theless, on Monday morning last, the readers of this promising periodical were informed in the " first leader" that the proprietors had " determined to discontinue" the same. They had started, they inform us, with con siderable advantages. Owing to their already or gan i se d establishment they were enaled to keep down what, under other circumstances, would have been the ex penses of such a concern by at least one-third ; they had the benefit of au existing connexion, and they produced a good article. The result, however, was, that their returns were only about one-half what they should have been to cover the bare expenses of production, and they have relinquished the attempt accordingly. By way of convincing those who might surmise that the trial was not a fair one, they offer to any person inclined to re peat the experiment any requisite assistance in making the trial for himself. Experience must prove whether the promoters of other similar enterprises are more fortunate or more skilful than the conductors of the Leeds and Yorkshire Daily Express. For ourselves, we can only repeat what we have fifty times remarked—that, as far as the idea of competition is concerned, we regard the matter with the most supreme indifference, and that the working of the new law does but confirm in all respects the views we entertained of the public taste and requirements.' We have not suffered, nor are we likely to suffer, in a single particular ; but, as we know something of the expenses _ contingent on the production of a daily paper, an d of what the public is accustomed to look f.(7 in a in ue t w h s ; paper, wo could not but express our which ine i assumptions on which the Manchester politicians have pro ceeded. In the expiring journal to tice referred we find a very circumstantial dTe:crmipatikoen of ei the difficulties actually experience d penny paper pay it must hay: as price, but th is c i rc ulation corm spending to the cheapness f circulation presumes a pro p s or o ti l o v n e a s te csn w v o e r y k an o ce f a d n is ci tribution, and distribution iv agents.

Dundas, to the Secretary of the Admiralty, dated= Duke of Wellington, • Tolboukin Lighthouse, July 7, 1855% I cannot conclude this letter withcut calling,the particular attention of their Lordships to the active'exertions of Capt. Storey, of her Majesty's ship Harrier, which led a few days later to the destruction of a large amount of shipping, dis covered afterwards in another anchorage near Nystad, as de tailed in the enclosure to Captain Warden's-report of the 2d instant. Harrier, off Little Wahas, June 24, 1855. Sir,—l have the honour to inform you that the boats of this ship destroyed 47 Ships belonging to the enemy, varying from 700 tons to 200 tons, on the nights of the 23d and 24th instant. • On the first night the ships destroyed were one mile from the town of Nystad, and about throe miles from the ship, and we were enabled to bring one barque, the Victoria, of about 453 tons, off with us. On the following morning the steam was got up and we proceeded to sea to 'anchor the prize off Enskov Lighthouse. =j, At 5 p.m., however; we steamed towards the land and an chored at about 7.30 p.m., and at 8 p.m. the boats were again despatched. I think, sir, I am only doing common justice to the men when I state how pleased I was to see the zeal and perseve rance with which they worked for so many hours; neither can I omit stating my belief that this arose in .a,great measure from the good example of the officers, especially the senior Lieutenant, Mr. Annesley, from whom I have ever received the most active assistance. During the night and following day we discovered 42 ships, the whole of which we either burned or scuttled. I have the greatest pleasure in being able to state that these proceedings were so successfully carried out without any casualty. Owing to the distance we got away from the ship (10 or 11 miles) and the blowing neather, accompanied with rain, that came on (hiring the morning, we were prevented from bring ing any vessel out with us. We did not get back to the ship until after 6 p.m. this afternoon, the men having been on their oars twenty-two hours. Having then, in two following nights and one day, de stroyed the whole of the Nystad shipping (prob3.bly upwards 0f,29,000 tons) I trust these proceedings will meet with your approval. _ . _ I have, ke., (Signed) HENRY STOREY, Commander.

W. L. PAKENHAM, Lieut.-Colonel, Acting-Adjutant-General, OFFICIAL DESPATCHES FROM BEAR ADMIRAL DUNDAS. ADMIRALTY, JULY 16. Despatches, of which the following are copies or extracts, have been this day received from Rear-Admiral the Hon. R. S. Dundas, Commander-in-Chief of her Majesty's ships and vessels in the Baltic. Duke of Wellington, Tolboukin Lighthouse, July' 7, 1855. " The Magicienne returned this morning from Lovisa, and I annex a report which I have received from Captain Yelverton, of her Majesty's ship Arrogant, who has been again successful in destroying a well- constructed fort at Svartholm, in tho entrance of the Bay of Lovisa, but their lordships will observe -with regret, that, notwithstanding the humane desire of that officer, the town of Lovisa was un fortunately destroyed by fire, wh ich occurre d accidentally on the night following the visit of h er Majesty's ships. Captain Vansittart informs me that the authorities of the town have themselves admitted and explained the accidental origin of the fire." Her Majesty's sh• ip Arrogant, Off Hoaland July 8, 1855, Sir,—l have the honour to inform you that I reached Lovisa on the afternoon of the 4th instant, and anchored the vessels close to Fort Svartholm. The enemy must have had intelligence of our movements and quitted the fort on our approach, for they had been at work but a few days before unroofing the barracks and taking away stores. The guns and ammunition had been previously removed. Svartholm was in good condition, and a work of great an i d m cyaseaeinl'ated barracks for strength, entirely commanding the a pproaches to Lovisa ; it has had can mount 122 guns, about 1,000 men, with governor's house and gar d en, and ex cellent officers' quarters. I mad e i mmediate arrangements phoaidianact3aodmdmitniodnastionfn lainte for blowing up the fort and completely destroying the bar racks ; these have since been fully carried out. On the sth, I made a reconnaissance of the tovk of Lovisa, in the Ruby, accompanied by the boats of the Arrogant and Magicienne. A strong detachment of Cossacks made their appearance at one time, but they were dispersed by the fire from the boats, the rockets particularly throwing them into great confusion. On landing at Lovisa . , they sent for the authorities and explained the object of my visit; same demur was caused by our not having a flag of truce. I told PRIZE MONEY. (From the London Gazette of July 16.) 'Admiralty, Somerset-house, July 16. Notice is hereby given to the officers, seamen, and ma rines, and to all persons interested therein, that in conse quence of some further claims having been preferred for unliquidated expenses attending the prizes Aina and Na desehda, captured on tho 21st April, 1855, byherMajesty's ship Alban, the individual shares advertised for distribu tion in the London Gazette of the 13th inst. will be liable to alteration, and further notice of distribution will be given as soon as possible. Department of the Accountant-General of the Navy, Admiralty, Somerset House, July 16. Notice is hereby given to the officers, seamen, and ma■ rives, and to all persons interested therein that the dis tribution of proceeds arising from the Russian armed vessel Vengeur, captured on the 27th of June, 1854, by her Majesty's ship Cuckoo, will commence on Thursday, the 26th July, 1855, in the Prize Branch cf the Department of the " Accountant-General of the Navy, Admiralty, Somerset House." Agents and other persons holding powers of attorney, prize orders, assignments, or other instruments, by virtue of which they may be legally entitled to claim tho share of any captor, serving in the above-namod ship, aro re quested to present the same at this office. Any officer, seaman, marine, or other person, who may desire to receive his share from the Collector of Customs or of Inland Revenue within the United Kingdom, is re quired to intimate the same by letter to be addressed " On Prize Business, to the Secretary of the Admiralty, Lou don,"—in which letter his own place of residence is to bo precisely stated, as well as the place of the nearest Collector of Customs, or of Inland Revenue, from whom it would be convenient to receive such share of prize money. The following are the shares due to an individual in the several classes :-- £ s. d. £ s. d. Lieut. Command ing Fourth class lB 12 5 Fifth class Sixth class Eighth class 3 2 1 Ninth class I Tenth class - - SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. MR. ROEBUCK'S MOTION. (From the Times of this day. ) Judicial vengeance, in the language of the poets, halts and lags, though it generally runs down its victim in the end. In the hands of man it almost as often miscarri as not ; in the hands of Heaven its path is circuitous, sometimes wholly inscrutable ; and all that we have to show are a few moral laws, as we are pleased to call them, and wonderful instances of Divine vengeauce— wonderful, because they are rare. If justice itself makes such poor work of it in its severest and most tangible form, and in the case of enormous crimes and palpable wrongs, we cannot expect more speed, more certainty and exactness, in the moral retribution to come upon faults of temper, errors of judgment, and the minor vices of carelessness, indolence, excessive confidence, and pre sumptior. We don't expect the time will ever come when man can devise nets of exactly the right meshes, and throw them so cleverly over the waters of political life as just to secure the offenders at the very nick of time, without damaging anybody else. They will go on escaping, breaking through, leaping over, or slipping under, just as they have always done. That is what Mr. Roebuck has still to learn. He presented himself as a judge in Israel, to detect, and to chastise the bad admi nistration.of the war. 11l would it become us, who sup ported him throughout, and who gratefully recognised in him the dauntless and indefatigable champion of our own battles, to say one word as to Mr. Roebuck's dis charge of his mission. There is only this to be added — that, with all the sail he could press, and all the steam he could put into his committee, he has only illustrated, for the millionth time, the tartiness and imperfection of all human justice. His whole speech comes to this : According to his own division of the Cabinet which undertook the war, the chief has already fallen, and is therefore removed from the reach of Parliamentary jus tice ; the like fate has overtaken the Secretary of War and the Secretary at War, and the First Lord of the Admiralty, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer ; in fact, all who had a hand in the affair. They have escaped Mr. Roebuck as criminals occasionally cheat the hang man, by being their own executioners'. On Mr. Roe buck's own showing, the others are most of them insig. nificant, and, as it happened, too, had nothing to do with the war. There was one exception, and that is Lord John Russell. But justice has overtaken him at last, though all that Mr. Roebuck can say of him is that he did not stay in town in August and September, and take the responsibility of summon ing Cabinet meetings to overhaul the operations of the War Minister. But which of them does Mr. Roebuck want to nail to the barn-door ? Lord Aberdeen ? His lordebip,as Mr. Roebuck himself admit=, did his best. The Duke of Newcastle ? Mr. Roebuck himself vo lunteers an apology. The Duke was plodding, consult. ing, giving interviews, making calculations, and issuing orders all the autumn. Mr. Sidney Herbert? Here, again, Mr. Roebuck is not merely apologetic, but even kind. He commends not only the diligence of the criminal at the bar, but even his humanity. Sir James Graham ? But how could the Admiralty have failed, when it did not even attempt ? Mr. Gladstone ? But he was summing up the " tottle of the whole," and expecting to conquer all the Russias, as well as con vert the South Sea Stock, out of the year's income. 7 For the rest Mr. Roebuck himself says they were In significant. What more could he sa y ? There _oare a I two offenders left. The first of these, Lord J h ,- -'.- - ' t -2- • - - "C• - - The committee met again yesterday morning. The first witness examined was Mr. Elliott, the Lam beth police magistrate. Ho said the _conflicting deci sions of the magistrates had caused much inconveniei.ce, and he thought the Legislature ought at once to set the question at rest. With regard to closing the public louses at 6 o'clock on Sunday, Mr. Elliott observed that the longer public houses kept open the greater were the inducements to xlrinking. He did not think 11 o'clock on Sunday to* late for the houses to keep open. :Ir. G.AA. A'Beckett, magistrate of Southwark, said he was of opinion that the operation of the Beer Act had been to reduce the number of drunken cases on Mondays, but not on Tuesdays. He thought, however, that its working was most inconvenient both its regarded the working and the miealle classes. As to the publican, he was placed in a most awkward position, be,-.ause the law compelled him to furnish refreshment; whilsC , he had no means of ascertaining who was and who wa I not a Lona fide traveller. Mr. Daniel Whittle Harvey, Commissioner of the City Police, expressed his disapprobation of all legis'l• tive interference with the freedom of the people. 1. 14 : thought the prevention of drunkenness required moral restraint rather than the interference of, the law. As to resisting a man's thirst for drink by the interposition of an act of Parliament it was out of the question. The next witness examined was Sir Robert Carden, a magistrate of the City of London. He stated that he thought it contrary to common sense to 6uppose that an excursionist, or, in other words, a person who went out of town for the day, was a traveller wsthin the meaning of the act. He bad never been called upon, however, to adjudicate upon the question involved in the act. The Chairman—l believe you belong to some A nti. something Society. (Laughter.) Sir It. Carden—l am connected with the Mait`e Liquor Law Society. He had come to his present' opinion on the authority of Sir Astley Cooper, who said that 50 per cent, of spirits was alcohol ; and that a small quantity taken daily was a slow poi•on. The Chairman—Then do you believe John Bull dies you ? • Sir R. Carden—The English are a drinking people. The Chairman—Are you aware that those nations to whom spirits are unknown are not so long lived ao European nations ? Sir R. Carden—That may depend upon the climate. -The Chairman—You will find that the case in the South Sea Islands. Sir R. Carden—l am sure a man will never benefit by drinking spirits. Examination continued---:-He was aware of one thing, and that was that a greater portion of the crime, wicked ness, and disease in this country arose from drunkenness. The Chairman—No one doubts the effects of drunken- ness ; we only differ from you as to the means of reme dying the evil. E;amination continued—With regard to excursionists, he could not see what the greater portion of them wanted to do otherwise than go home after 10 o'clock on a Sunday night. The Chairman—Do you not think it reasonable deat a man, after sitting for three hours in a close carriage on the railway—behind the engine perhaps—should requ ;x. e something to quench a natural thirst at the end of the journey. Sir it Carden—Well, then, let him get a glass of water. (Laughter.) Examination continued—He was satisfied if the work ing classes were consulted, they would wish that public houses should be closed altogether on Sunday, so as to put the temptation out of their reach. By Sir J. Pakington—He believed between 50 and 60 millions per annum were spent by the working classes in intoxicating drink, which he regarded as a national evil. By the Chairman—He thought the disadvantages to the few, occasioned by the operation of the act, did not counterbalance the advantages which accrued from it to the million. He thought legislation ought always to have such a view. By Sir W. Jolliffe--He believed all Governments en couraged the consumption of a lcoholic drinks fo r lie sake of the revenue they produced. The Chairman—lt has been over and over again stated that the comforts of the people had been cur. , tailed by this bill. Do you contradict it ? Sir R. Carden—l believe that the hours it enjoins have been generally beneficial. Examination continued—He believed the future well being of England depended upon proper public-house legislation. As far as ho was concerned if the beer bill affected himself he should feel it to be no incon venience, though he thought perhaps in its operation it tended to generate an unjust feeling between the lower and wealthier classes. This concluded Sir R. Carden's evidence. At this stage of the proceedings the room was cleared for about half an hour. On the re-admission of the public, Mr. Broughton, police magistrate, was called, and after answering a few questions, it being close upon four o'clock, The committee adjourned. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. Minute guns will be fired by the fleet and garrison at Portsmouth, and the flags on board and ashore hoisted half mast, on the arrival of the body of the late Field- Marshal Lord Raglan, hourly expected at Spithead.

The hired iron screw steam-transport Cottingham, Commander Benjamin More, left Sheerness yesterday a t 1 p.m., after receiving that morning's mails and des patches from the office of the Commander-in-Chief. She was originally built for the Emperor of Russia's yacht, and was to have been christened " The Empress." She is magnificently fitted up, a great portion of her skylights being _richly painted plate glass, bearing the Russian coat of arms and other Russian emblems. The steam-vessels Adder and Lizard returned to Sheerness on Sunday night, after accompanying the iEolus through the East Swin, on her passage out to the Baltic. The ship Louisa, of Bristol, D.

This ship as well as the Hermes, has on board a very large quantity of shells and projectiles of every sort for the use of the fleet. The Transit iron screw steam-storesbip, Commander Johnstone, is under orders to leave Sheerness to-morrow, and on the 20th to proceed to Woolwich, to embark horses. She is then to return to Sheerness, to e mbark artillery drivers, &c. and to proceed direct for the seat of war. The Meteor, 14 guns, floating battery, Captain F. B. P. SeymOur, has been put out of the basin at Sheerness. The Meteor and the Glatton, Captain A. Cumming, have now all their stores, ammunition, shells, shot, &?-9 on board, ready to take their departure for the Baltic. They are only waiting Admiralty orders to leave.
