The small image of this god was worn by the Chief Judge while engaged in listening to cases brought before him. A similar emblem was worn by the High Priests of the Jews, and it is _remarkable that the word " Thummin " is not only translated " Truth," but, being a plural or dual word, corresponds to the Egyptian word of "Two Truths"—i. e. " Light and Truth "—breastplates hav ing the figures of the two gods, " Re" (Light) and " Thmei " (Truth) represented upon them have been discovered. Priests 'with Scarabiei.

Priests with the pretended God " Canopus," or Water Offering to the God of the Nile. "It is said that the Chaldeans, trans porting the fire, which was their God, into all the provinces, offered to let him combat with those of other nations, on condition that if he remained the conqueror they should adore him. The priests of Canopus accepted the challenge and devised this stratagem. They fabricate in Egypt pitchers of an extremely porous earth, through which the water filtrates and is purified. The Arch-priest took one of them, stopped the pores with wax, and painting it of various colours filled it with water, and made it his god. He covered it with the head of an ancient statue, said to be that of the pilot of Menelaus. The Chaldeans presented themselves ; the' contest began ; they lighted their fires around the vase ; the wax melts, the water runs through the vase and extinguishes the fire. The fraud of the priest gave the victory to Canopus over the Chaldean deity. From that moment his image has been re presented with very short feet, a narrow back, and the belly and back rounded like a pitcher. It is under this form that he is worshipped as the vanquisher of all the gods."—Ruffin Bistoire de l'Eglise, ]ivre second. No. 4. The Goddess " Pash-t," " The Memphian Lioness," "The Beloved of rthah," " The Goddess of Fire," " Bubastes" (the Diana of the Greeks) preceded by sacred dancers.

One or the principal festivities held in Egypt was at Bubastis in honour of the Pash-t--- 700,000 persons of both sexes being present. A great num . ber of victims were sacrificed, wine was profusely drunk, dancing of the wildest character went forward, men played flutes, women sang and shrieked as loud as possible, struck the " Crotola" (cymbals) or clappers of wood and metal, &c. Lotus Dancers (Fema l es) . Incense Bearers. No. 5. The god " Osiris " as " Osiris Pethempamentes" (the Pluto of the Greeks).

The principle office of this deity was to judge the dead, and to rule over that kingdom where the souls of good men were admitted to eternal felicity. This deity was very famous— his temples and priests were to be found in al most every part of Egypt; the sacred rites of Osiris were a profound mystery, never revealed. His name was even avoided, as of too august a nature to be mentioned. The "Ivy," with which the Priests decorated themselves, was sacred to him, and also the " Meliolotus." No. 6. The Sacred Boat of the Amenti, or Lower Regions, with the four genii, or demi gods (bearing emblems of life and power) and their vases of "Amenti," or that subterraneous region where they (the Egyptians) imagined the souls of the dead to go after their decease. The first genius is " Amset," " Judge of the Amenti" (human-headed). The second is " Hepi," " Con cealed Number" (baboon-headed). The third is " Tuautmutf," " Adorer of his : Mother" (jackall-headed), The fourth is • Kabh-senuf," " Refresher of his Brethren" (hawk-headed). The Sepulchral Vases have heads in shape of the four genii of the dead, and each was employed for holding a portion of the viscera of the deceased, embalmed separately and deposited in them. On the " Amset" Vase is inscribed the speech of " Isis" to the dead ; on that of "'Hepi" isa similar speech from ▪ Nepthys ;" on that of "Tuautmutf, one from "Neith;" and on that of " Kabh-senuf," one from " Selk ;" the purport of each being an assurance of protection, and of being " near thee," " beside thee," or "I come to be beside thee." The Sacred Boat is followed by the symbolic " Eyes of Osiris," or of " The Sun," emblems of the all- see i ng presence of Di vinity. Note.—Besides the Four Amenti, here were 42 As sessors or Judges of the 42 Crimes, from which a good man should be free ; and these also differ from the 36 Demons mentioned by Origen that p re s i ded over the human body, and y were invoked to cure the i nfir mities of the peculiar member a immediately under their protection. No. 7. The Goddess " Isis," or "The Seat." The hieroglyphic throne on her r bead, and followed by the priestesses and virgins dedicated to her worship.

He is attended by his sacred emblems and standards. The Hawk wax dedicated to -him, the Tamarisk Tree, the Testudo (Lyre), &c. One of the principal duties of " Boras," was that of introducing the souls of the dead into the presence of " Osiris," after they bad passed the ordeal of final judgment. He also assisted Amset" in weighing and ascertaining their good conduct during life, previous to their admission into the august presence of his Father in the blessed regions of the Amenti.

" Neith," or " Neth," the supposed origin of the Greek name, " Thena," or "Athena." The belief of the Egyptians in " the Existence of a Supreme Being " is proved by the inscription over the Temple of Minerva (Neith), in hieroglyphic characters, viz. : —" lam that which is, which was, and shall be. No Mortal has lifted up my veil—the offspring of my power is the Sun."

THIS EVENING-, and every evening during the week, the GRAND ELEUSINIAN SPECTACLE of MAGIC and MYSTERY, by Profesor. ANDERSON, ' the (heat Wizard of the North, in 12 acts, with ever-chanting variety of incidents, continuous surprises, novel and extraordinary effects. . Magic and Mystery is an entirely new entertainment, pos sessing distinctive charecteriitics - and peculiar phases of amusement. It is not a monologue; for the audience them selves perform their parts with the principal actor, some of .theM on the stage and others in front ; it is not an,exhibition; for though everything bedomes metamorphosed before the eyes of `the' visitors. no one can be positive that he sees any one thing ;, but it is a Comedy really performed by the com pany ; a melodrama replete with startling positions and unex- . petted denouements ; a magnificent spectacle, with 2,000 of the public every_ night to Appear , as auxiliaries ; and an .ei travaganza, in"which that'seetas to be is entirely beyond the bounds of probability. Professor Anderson returns his thanks to thronged and `ashionable audiences which have nightly filled the Lyceum Theatre to overflow, 'and by means of whose generous aid he has been enabled to announce Magic and Mystery for con tinuous repetition. He believes that no professor of his art has at any time or in any place been honoured with an amount of success so extensive, so decided, and so unusual. He would attribute that success to three causes ; first, that in his present entertainment he has placed before his visi:,ors the results of a life sedulously devoted to the attainment of perfected skill in one peculiar art, and to perfect which he has travelled the globe in every clime ; secondly, that he has spared no trouble nor expense to put this entertainment on the stage in the most elaborate manner, by the employment of the first mechanicians and artists of the day; and thirdly, 'hat, while endeavouring to provide amusement for those who honour him with their presence, he has not forgotten that it is possible to afford information also, and that the oppor tunity should not be neglected of exposing conjuring where ever it has been used for nefarious purposes, or whenever by resorting to the conjuror's arts, in an illegitimate manner, the designing have succeeded in making dupes of the credulous. The 937 letters on the subject of spirit-rap Ping, which Pro- I - essor Anderson has received, from the time of opening the theatre up to the present date; bear witness to the great in • crest taken on the subject of this singular delusion ; whilst many of them bear melancholy evidenCe to the dangers which attend. a belief in the superstitious nonsense of.the " Spiri tualists." Judging simply by the eorrespondence which haS resulted; ProfesSor Anderson's expose of spirit-rapping, and his illUstration of the so-called 'table phenomena, have pro duced a sensation unequalled by any previous attempt to ex pdse a mischievous and impudent juggle. It is impossible .. or Professor Anderson to 'reply at length to a titho of the communications which reach him on the subject. 'He regrets that many of these should come frofn and gentlemen who, from their position in society and-their well-knownin tellectßal attainments, he would least have expected to have been converts to a belief so preposterousinifself, and so easily, susceptible of being controverted and dishiOved. Every fripm the Lyceum stage, Mr. - AnderiEn's 'Opinions on spirit-yappinf are expressed, and every evening, within the Lyceum; how • talks 'can be !made th rap .is exhbited, and elucidated. - It is respectfully requested that this public exposition will be accepted generally. as PrOfessor Anderson's only - mode of replying at full 'llo,gth, to his multitudinous eOrrespontlents. rzrietv:thah the aim -- learned - of the land should have been made to figure in the documents emanating from the spirit-rappers, as for instance the following, ex tracted from the Morning Advertiser of Thursday, Septem ber 20, and taken by that journal from the New York Spiri tual Telegraph. It purports to emanate from an American spirit-rapper, Mr. D. D. Hume :—" Sir David Brewster frankly confesses that he is sorely puzzled' at what he has witnessed, and Lord Brougham acknowledges himself to be thoroughly nonplussed. Both of these noted men brought the whole force of their keen discernment to bear upon the .olution of the phenomena; but the presence of substantial, actual hands, and the demonstrative strength of the spirits who thus clothed themselves for the time, and moved mate rial objects about the room, proved to be too much of a ques tion for them to master." Mr. D. D. Hume, the'author of the above, has recently left England, and the following account of who, and what he is, occurs in the Family Herald, No. 648: —" This young man, who is a Scotchman by birth, and now in Italy, is a remarkable medium for all the manifestations without apparatus. Barnum, who is well-known throughout the Anglo-Saxon world as a splendidhumbug, offered him 2,000 dollars per annum if ho would perform at his museum in New York. Barnum then took it for granted that mediums could be bought. He was somewhat astonished when his offir was refused. Hume, on telling the fact in London lately, simply and honestly remarked, that the money would have been very acceptable to him, for he was per, young (under 20), an phan, and in very bad health : but he would have been afraM of losing his power as a medium, and be would seener lose his life. The reZusal, however, made Barnum tholghtful. He inquired into the subject; and now Barnum, one of the greatest humbugs in the world, and withal a conjuror, is one of the firmest believers in spiritualism." It is cer tainly surprising to find such a paragraph as this in the editorial article of an established journal, the editor of whom might be supposed to be sane. Even if Barnum does believe in spirit-rapping--does spirit-rapping gain or lose by this accession to its adherents and, with Barnum's endorse ment to it, is this bill, drawn on public credulity, more likely to be negotiated ? Professor Anderson would believe not ; hut, when he finds that educated clergymen of the Church of England have the temerity to subscribe their names to so gross a swindle, when he finds that the incumbent of Wortley (the Rev. - N. J. Godfrey) positively asserts his belief in it, and writes a book on the subject, he considers it t ) be time for him to state that which he knows of the mechanism by which it is effected, and the mischief to which it tends. In the Morning Advertiser of October 3 appears a letter from Sir David Brewster, relative to that which he saw at Cox's Hotel, in company with Lord Brougham. Ho distinctly states that which the Wizard of the North proclainis every night—that spirit-rapping is nothing more than conjuring applied to bad purposes. In the Morning Advertiser of the following day, however, there is an answer to Sir David's letter from one who was present when he and Lord Brougham bad their séance with the spirits, in which the writer says, that " the table (a large dinner-table, I believe) moved about in the most extraordinary manner, and, among other things, a large ac cordion was conveyed by an invisible agency to my hand and then to Lord Brougham's, in which, held by his lordship's right hand, apart from any person, it played an air through out." With such a statement, printed for the edification of the people of the 19th century, with the facts before us that the most talented men of the day aro permitting themselves to be deluded by these juggling spirit-mongers—that the greatest novelist of the age is now engaged in making it the subject of a new work, and that a "spiritual convention" has actually been advertised to be held in St. Martin's-hall, Professor Anderson trusts that his exposures of the spiritual ists of America, as given by him nightly at the Lyceum, will be received by the people of England as genuine honest at tempts to provide an antidote for the bane of the spiritual jugglers. In the course of the last fivo weeks 100,017 persons have visited the Lyceum Theatre,—a larger number, it is believed, than has ever before been assembled within its walls in so short ,a period. Magic and Mystery is repeated every even. log, the programme being continually changed.

They have said in 1855 what Sir Charles Wood, the Duke of Newcastle, and Sir James Graham said in 1851, when they were Cabinet Ministers. The protest signed by the Jersey political exiles is mainly an historical resume of the events of the revolution effected at Paris by the coup d'etat of the 2d of December, 1851. The phraseology em ployed to describe these events is not over-courtly, but neither was the language of the Ministers and journalists we have named. The Ministers and journalists have ceased to speak 'of these events, because they believe that France has acquiesced in the Government founded on the coup d'etat—and because they think that as the general merits of the reign of Augustus compensated in a great man ner for the questionable means by which he at tained to power, the reign of Napoleon 111. may compensate for what is indefensible in the coup d'etat. The Jersey political exiles continue to hold the same language as they have over held, because they do not believe that France has acquiesced in the Government of the coup d'etat, and because they do not hope that the benefits conferred on their country by that Government will compensate for the vices of its original title. Of these two dis sentient views, which is characterised by most of sagacity and practical prudence we are not now called upon to decide. Enough that a man may entertain and express either of them without im putation -to his moral rectitude: If the-prosi is' free in this country, such difference of opinion is a legitimate subject of discussion. To punish men for maintaining either the one or the other side of the question is a gross infringement of the liberty of the press. We shall. be -told that the discussion was carried on by the. Jersey political exiles in language of un-• necessary violence. Are we to take exoepticini at strong language - on the part of men who have been driven from their homes and hearths by an act which even those who make the strength of their language matter for an accusation against them do not and cannot defend ? " But if they are allowed to speak in this ,manner of the chief alliance, that alliance may be placed in peril." Was not the mine verson chief magistrate of: France, and Was not England - in amity with France, when the Ministers Sir Charles Wood, the Duke of Newcastle, Sir J. Graham, and the London journalists spoke of hini in pretty nearly the same terms as the exiles do now ? Had the President of the Republic com plained to our Government in 1851 of the, manner in which ho was spoken of by MiniSters on the hustings and journalists in their columns the an: swer would have been :—" The Constitution of England does not allow us to deal with men for any latitude of speech in political assemblies or in print, except by due process of law. If you feel aggrieved the law courts are open to you, as they were in 1782 to the Queen of France, and in 1803 to your uncle, the First Consul." And if there had been one spark of English generosity and courage in the breasts of our Ministers the same answer would have been made to him now. Thera are good grounds for believing that the French Government has demanded the expulsion of the Jersey exiles from our, Ministers, and that, instead of answering as they ought to haVe done, they have complied with the demand as far as they could. In a letter from Vienna, published in the Cologne Gazette, and reproduced in our impression of this day, it is stated that the Austrian Govern ment has made application to the Cabinet of St. James's for the expulsion of political exiles, and that the French Government has instructed its am bassador here to support the application. And the Moniteur of yesterday contains a - letter from Jer sey, dated ,the 2Gth inst., in which it is stated that the exiles have received warning to quit . the island. These two documents leave little room"for dottbt - as to the paities at - whose _instigation Miniaters have violated the practice of the English Constitution. To have complied with such a request from Napo leon llL=who lias had. practical experience of the protec!ion our laws extend to political exiles— would have been bad enough, but to comply .with snqh a request from AuStria, - implies a 'degree of mehuness.that we dare not trust ourselves to desig-: r. a. f ILL, Ar i l Vl.O. V ‘.,a -upon us. Lord Palmerston and his colleagues affected to deprecate the obsequiousness shown to Austria byLord John Russell at the Conferences of Vienna; the obsequiousness they have themselves now shown to that equivocal power is infinitely more disgraceful. The honour of England has been laid prostrate at the feet of continental despotism by the Palmerston Ministry. This Jersey affair is not the first step of our Go vernment in its descent from the proud position maintained by English Governments in 1782 and 1803—epochs at which public opinion was far less enlightened than now on the subject of the political rights and immunities of citizens and foreign so journers amongst us. In 1853 the Messrs. Hale and Son were summoned to Bow-street to answer a charge of having in their possession a quantity of gunpowder greater than was allowed by law. Strenuous efforts were made to prove that a con nexion existed between the accused and M. Kos suth. When this was found to be impossible, the proceedings were allowed to drop—the prosecution was terminated by a compromise. No doubt was entertained at the time that the main objeot of these proceedings was to obtain an excuse for gra tifying the Austrian Government, by expelling M. Kossuth from this country. In 1853 the Govern ment of the day had not mustered courage to depart from the precedent established by the ultra-Tory Lord Hawkesbury half a century before. But when. men once venture upon a deviation from the path of rectitude and legality, however slight, their sub sequent downward career is rapid. Two short years have sufficed to embolden Ministers to their present avowal of disregard for the hereditary liberties of England. In the letter from Jersey which we publish to-day it is stated that M. Victor Hugo will remain at Guernsey until Lord Palmerston presents a more stringent Alien Bill to Parliament. Wo feel confident that if M. Victor Hugo remains at Guernsey till such an event takes place, his residence there will be a lengthened one. Fallen though Lord Pal merston is, he will have too much prudence to risk the damaging debates to which the introduction of such a measure would give rise. Neither he nor his imperial masters will courb the renewed publicity that would be given to the transactions of 1851 by the discussion of the House of Com mons. And yet we do not wonder that an exile smarting under an act of injustice, seeing that our first protest against the lawless proceedings at Jer sey has not been supported by any of the Liberal organs in the daily press of the metropolis, and that not a whisper against the outrage has been breathed during the Parliamentary canvass now in progress in the borough of Southwark, should look forward to such a suicidal move on the part of our Premier as probable. The future historian of the nineteenth century will point to the Jersey out rages, and to the apathy with which they seem likely to be endured by the English public, as the darkest blot on the Liberals of this age.

Whatever other charges these refugees may bring against the English Government, assuredly they cannot accuse it of discourtesy. A so-called " Declaration," published in the French Socialist paper, L'Elomme, on Wednesday last, and bearing the signature of M. Victo r H ugo and thirty-five other refugees, contains a series of savage attacks on the Emperor Napoleon, and con cludes by an earnest request to our Government— " Et maintenant expulsez nous !" With commepdable promptitude the Govern ment complied with this request : in less than a week the refugees are expelled— " If people will write—'Please to ring the bell,' Common politeness makes one stop and do it." And in reading the Declaration one cannot be much surprised at the readiness with which the operation has been effected. The previous expulsion ofPianciani, Ribeyrolles(whom the English printers will persist in calling Rigmarole), and Thomas, is designated as a " Coup d'Etat ;" the English Go varnment is stated to have been the subordinate agent of the French police, and England annexed to the French Empire. The intimate ally of our Queen is charged with having committed perjury; with having " sabre, mitraille, extermine massacre le jour, et fusille la nuit ;" with having.," suborn() 4 ,les soldats, suborne les - lonctionnaires; suborneles ma g istrats, et vole les biens de Louis Philippe." And the catalogue of accusations concludes with a summary, in which M, Victor Hugo shOws symp toms of having labonrol:under an indigestion when he wrote it—" Haute trahison, faux serment, par jure, subornation des fonetionnaires, sequestration des eitoyens, spoliation, vol meurtre ; c'e sent la des crimes*"." It was impossible that any Government having the least regard for the maintenance of public de cency could do otherwise than notice such atrocious -ribaldry, in which the ludicrous so strives with the disgusting, that one . feels a difficulty ,in saying to which class the Refiigee . " Declaration" - really belongs. Oar government, accordingly, did notice the publication ; and gave directions to the Lieu tenant-Governor of Jersey to enforce the law, of the island, as had been done in a recent instance:' This Simple and necessary proceeding is iinmedi-, ately declared to be a Coup d'Etat, and the-appli cation of the old constitutional law of Jersey re presented as "Lynch law." The impudent abuse of the land that shelters them has been denied by the refugees to be a vio lation of hoipitality. They must be disciples of the ancient sage who held it praiseworthy to "eat a man's mutton, drink his wine, and then to knock his eye out." They deem it no breach of hospi tality to calumniate the Illustrious Ally of Eng land —or, as some of their number have done, hold him . pas a target for the assassin's pistol. In shot, such is their mental obliquity of vision— such the utter absence of everything like principle —that Measures of coercion, necessarily distasteful to the Government of a free country, have become an ,absolute and urgent duty. If - ever there was a ease in which the interven tion of law was indispensble, it is that of the Joisey refugees. • (Front the Times of this day.) Such proceedings as those of the - deinocratic re fugees could have but one termination,. In the midst of iz great and momentous war, at the hour of a triumph Which must necessarily have • added new rancour to-the defeated, and to those preachers of liberty who CO strangely sympathise with them, the representatives of the Revolutionary party in this country thought fit to call a meeting and to utter harangues which have surprised and alienated all who before had some feeling for theii Cause: An historian of our time onto observed that, although civilised Europe was threatened by no. external barbarians, yet there existed in every continental city men whose, theories and impulses would, if victorious, plunge Europe into a barbarism darker than that which Gothsand-Vandali'brenglit . With them. He fotesaw not at the time that. Zurnne .woultt.so soon - be- engaged-in a-contest tortife and death against the hordes of the North, nor could he have imagined that the enemies from within would practically join their strength with those whose invasion the world was endeavouring to stem. But so it has been. The assassination of the French Emperor has been openly instigated in a document read to a numerous assemblage and published to the world in the columns of a newspaper. Unfortunately for the refugees, they crave their invectives to the public in the form of a most insolent letter to the Sovereign whose protection had been their safety ; and the ingra titude, as well as the indecency of their conduct, was so flagrant that hardly a word has been uttered in their defence. The editor and principal writers of the journal L'llomme were lately obliged to leave Jersey in obedience to :A order of the authorities. On this occasion the other refugees published a bombastic proclamation, dilating on the merits of the three journalists, de fending their principles, further attacking the French Emperor, and concluding their defiance by the words " And now banish us." It will give little surprise to our readers to learn that the ,British Government has felt it necessary to take these men at their word. Probably from a convic tion that they are incorrigible, and that the only change . in their future operations will be to greater secrecy, the Cabinet has determined to remove the whole of them, to the number of 34, from the island. They are commanded to leave Jersey within a week. If international law means anything, if alliance is not an hypocrisy, if the great war in which we are engaged is not a comedy to be lightly and care lessly considered, it was necessary for a State like England to interfere in the present case. No com monplaces about hospitality and the right of exile can be an answer to the question—" What shall we do when there are men among us whom we know to be plotting against our ally, and conse quently against ourselves?" It is said that the exiles chose Jersey as a home for its cheapness. We cannot but think that its proximity to the French coast had much influence on those who preferred it to an equally inexpensive residence in the rural districts of Great Britain. At least, that is the feeling which prevails in France. It has been the impression that the refugees placed the focus of their intrigues as near as possibly to the country which they wished again to revolutionise. During the time they have made Jersey their home M. Victor Hugo and his comrades have never ceased to inveigh against the ruler whom they deem their enemy, and to boast that, though their persons were banished, their speeches and writings could not be prevented from entering their country. Was tile newspaper L'llomme more cheaply printed in the Channel Islands than it could be in Westmin ster ? Was it written for 34 readers ? Nay, was its circulation intended for the British empire at 'all ? We believe that this journal, which has now gained so evil a reputation, was published solely with a view to a French circle of readers. It was thought that the French origin of the inhabi' tants of these little islands, and their intercourse with the coast would be the moans of disseminating widely the arguments and intentions of the re fugees. They have betrayed the hospitality of this country, violated the asylum it has given, in sulted its Sovereign, sought to break up the alliance it h as f orme d, and planned the death of the ally it has chosen, and they must take the consequences. Some of them may be men of education, and accustomed in bygone days to a high position in a most civilised capital ; but they have forgotten all the lessons by which cultivated minds rise superior to the prejudices and passions of a mob. If poets, philosophers, and legislators utter sentiments worthy only of the lowest pur lieus of Paris, they must expect that any claims which their previous career may have given them to the respect and forbearance of the world must be at once forgotten. By their removal from Jer sey their plans only are interrupted : their safety is not compromised. They may continue to live in the freedom to which they have been always welcome, and we trust that the lesson they have received will be sufficient to deter, if not to reform, them. Th© act to which the British Government is now driven is one from which it has refrained, though sorely provoked, for several years. It has been no light offence which has thus called down the interference of the most lenient of constitutions, and the indignation of the most tolerant of nations. We would now advise the democrats of all nations to abstain from their wonted intrigues, and devote themselves to more useful, though they ma y con sider them lower, occupations. Thus they may regain something of the character they have lost ; if they persevere in their schemes a worse thing may befall them than a mere change of residence.

The essential objezt of this treatise is to point out the fearful con iesuonces resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man- wed, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any ther class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is ,articularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of 'eir physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded ~ t, o health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is ()attic& it is absolutely necessary that all men should know, that there are rineiples of personal management which cannot be violated without ecurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed .die heyday of Inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties say be mitigated, hew the sting of their bitterness may bo removed, .nd how the evil and its consequences maybe avoided, and above all, :hat there Is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional !erangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. Pte Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive sractice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have Intortnnately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant empiric., whoinflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in their pretensions.

Luce; which arrived at Plymouth en Monday from the White Sea, left Deal on the 10th May, entered the White Sea on the sth June, arrived at Cross Island on the eth, and in company with the French and English squadrons ' proclaimed Archangel in a state of blockade on the Bth; On the 28th Sept., when returning, all the ships were at Cross Island, and proceeded therefrom to the Ukansdi Isles, at the entrance of the White Sea. Here they lay during very heavy storms of snow, accompanied by severe cold, the thermometer falling to 22, being 10 degrees below freezing point. Both squadrons left on the 9th inst. The Ariel anchored off Lowestoft on the 20th, and in the Downs on the 22d ; she left on the 24th, was off Portsmouth in the heavy gale of Thursday, anchored there on Saturday night, sailed on Sunday morning, and arrived in Plymouth Sound on Monday. The Ariel has been industriously occupied all the summer in conveying mails and going up the various creeks and harbours of the White Sea, visiting Vardohuns, Vadhoost, the river Dwina, the Gulf and River Mezen, the Bay of Vesuta, the village of Lianitsi, Kouzev, Solvetskoi, Kandalak, Ferret, Vaadahoost, the Gulf of Onega, and every other available place from Cape Can dinose, on the east, to Cape Sweetnose, on the west. Between the 29th of June and the 2d of July her boats went up the Mezen River, and destroyed vessels amounting to about 300 tong. On the 11th of July she proceeded to the Gulf of Onega to relieve the Phceuix, which was anchored close to the monastery. Here a small boat was sent with a flag of truce to pur chase provisions at the village of Lianitsi. The Russian soldiers requested her to approach, and then fired into her. For this treacherous conduct a few shots and rockets were fired at the village. On the 14th she an chored at the island of Kio, where there is a monastery and small custom-house.

A- rather romantic' circumetance has attended the departure of these troop. On 'Monday night ono of the privates was discovered.to be a' woman, and a very fine, handsome, young woman, too, French, the wife of a soldier of. the regiment, who is a Swiss. This gallant wile rcgalerly enlisted, and passed muster, it would appear, afterwards. On the discovery of her sex the fact was reported to the Colonel, who ordered her to be landed, 'but she begged so hard, andher appeal was so heartily and generally supported by the com rades of . her husband, that'she has been allowed to ac company him in her capacity as a soldier, pro tens., as she expressed her determination to fight and die in the same service as her husband. . The enthusiasiu of the regiment is universal at this unlooked-for epi sode in the outset of their martial career. So pleased were a eumber,of visitors to the ship, officers and men, with her spirit and prepossessing appearance, that a sub scription was speedily raised of upwards of 201. for her. She shoulders her rifle and has performed her military evolutions admirably. . . Her Majesty's ship Sanspareil, 71, Captain W. J.
