The essential object of this treatise is to point oat this fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have presumed more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any ether class of disease known to modern pathologists. It; perusal Is aarticularly 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 thatall men !should know, that there are srinciples of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed ire heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties nay be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, Ind bow the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, twat 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 neater, in the treatment of these delicate complaints; *which have aefortnnately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant enpirics, who Inflict great injury on those who aro induced to place faith in their pretensions.

A meeting of the NewQfuner Trade was held last ever - ing at St. Martin's-hall, Mr. Wild in the chair, to con sider the proposed measure of the Chancellor of the Exchequer with respect to the removal of the stamp from newspapers. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said he could not see in the speech of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer any good reasons for repealing a tax which was voluntary in itself, and for which great convenience and important facilities were received in exchange. He cer tainly did not think that this was the time to give up an amount of revenue which the Chancellor himself estimated at a quarter of a million. He, however, be lieved that the reduction would be much more consider able, since this calculation of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer was founded upon the supposition that a large part of the revenue at present received for stamps would remain as a postage charge. But the fact was, that if we, had a cheap press, the journals would _be sent to their destination by the cheapest conveyance. Now, every one knew that it would be much cheaper to send them in bulk by railway rather than in single copies through the post. Nor was it probable that what the revenue lost by the removal of the stamp would be supplied by the increased amount received for the excise on paper, since it must be remembered that the same parties who had agitated against the newspaper stamp bad also declared that they would not be satisfied until the paper duty was repealed. There would, there fore, be no compensation on this head. Another im• portant point for them to consider was this. If parties were permitted to publish newspapers without giving security for good behaviour, journals would be started by men without means or character, who would publish libels in order to give piquancy to their papers and in crease their sale. And then when actions for libel were brought they would abscond and the newsvender would be left to bear the penalty of their misconduct. This was no imaginary case, as many would recollect the pro secutions which took place some years ago against the Age, Satirist, and other publications. The Chancellor of the Exchequer said in the course of his speech that no inconvenience would arise from stamping only a portion of the impression of a newspaper and publishing the rest unstamped. And in proof of this the right hon. gentle man said that he had been told by the manager of Punch, and some other papers, that no practical difficulty would be felt on this head. But it should be recollected the stamped portion of the impression of Punch was published on one day, and the unstamped portion on the other; and with respect to the other journals to which reference had been made, they were all published at the early part of the day. The case of such journals as these was not, therefore, analogous to that of newspapers published but a short time before they were required to be sent out. He believed that the greatest possible difficulty would be experienced in sending out a mixture of stamped and un stamped papers at a late hour and under great pressure in point of time. He contended that it was quite an error to regard the newspaper stamp as a tax. It was really a postal arrangement for which very adequate public convenience was received in return. This, at any rate, was not the time to give up a source of revenue easily collected, and paid without reluctance on the part of the public. (Hear.) Mr. TERRY, of Hatton-garden, moved the first reso lution, "declaring that to permit newspapers to be either stamped or unstamped would be attended with great in convenience to the - newsvenders ; while the 'facilities which it was proposed to afford for the starting of jour nals without security would very probably subject the sellers instead of the publishers of newspapers to actions and prosecutions for libel." If he understood the Chan cellor of the Exchequer's plan, papers which did not stamp any part of their impression need not be regis tered, nor need their proprietors give any securities. The result would be, that they might be started by men of straw, and the newsvenders might be prosecuted and ruined for the sale and publication of libels of which they had never read a line. (Hear, hear.) The greatest pos sible inconvenience and difficulty would be felt in pack ing and sending out a mixture of stamped and unstamped papers. The Chancellor of the Exchequer said he had been informed by the conductors of Punch and the illustrated News that no difficulty would be felt on this score. The chairman had, however, disposed of the case of Punch, and with respect to the Illustrated News, all he had to say was, that that journal had not yet com menced to publish a double impi'ession. The newsven ders had even now the greatest• difficulty in getting the copies of this paper in' time to send out, and how in• finitely would the difficulty be increased under the new system ! Even that, however, did not exhibit the full difficulty of the case. Let them consider what would bo the state of things when the whole of the London jour nals were permitted to do this and availed themselves of the privilege. It was very possible that if they had time to make their arrangements for packing and sorting the different editions, they might succeed in meeting the difficulty ; but it should not be forgotten that the des patch of the papers to the country was all to be done at the la.t moment. He believed that the practical difficul ties of this operation would be insuperable. Then sup pose they had several quires of unstamped papers over, what were they to do with them, since it was very likely that they would not be able to exchange them for stamped copies ; and they would thus be left unavailable on their hands. Mr. Gladstone's scheme was in so tar preferable that he did propose to permit a stamped wrap per to be used. This however was no great boon, since the greatestdifficulty would be experienced in finding stamped wrappers for papers at the last moment. Another man ner in which he believed inconvenience would be felt was this. It would be almost impossible in the burry of business to keep the stamped and the unstamped parts of the impression separate. They would, constantly be getting intermingled. Then the parcels would be stopped and examined in the Post-office, and at the very least great detention would ensue in the delivery of the news papers, or the erewsvendors would as likely be subjected to heavy penalties for a perfectly unintentional and un avoidable breach of the law. (Hear, hear.) He denied that this was a tax. It was a postal arrangement ; and he thought nothing could be more absurd than to sur render a large amount of revenue raised with great facility and with hardly any public inconvenience at a time when we were oppressed with war taxation. He did not think that the repeal of the stamp duty would raise the respectability of the press. He feared that it would cause it to fall to the level of the American press ; nor was he with ou t some apprehetision that this measure would lead to the appearance of an immoral class of publications. There were certain persons who were looking out for this. Did they think that halfpenny or penny papers, such as had been announced to appear if the stamp duty were repealed, would tend to elevate the minds of the people ? He feared not. (Hear.) Again, would not the repeal of the stamp duty lead t o o pilfering from the established papers which now spent thousands of pounds in procuring original intelligence ? If so, they would be no longer able to go to this heavy expense, and the result would be that we should no longer have a press of the same high character as at present, when the practical copyright protection of the stamp was with drawn. (Hear, hear.) WALTERMr. upo jealousy, seconded the resolution. The trade looked the efforts of Mr. Blight an d Mr. Gibson with withdraw the newspaper business from London to the provinces. great believing that their ob j ect was to A NEWSVENDOR—They dislike the London press. It is too respectable for Manchester. Mr. HOLYOARE opposed a resolution which appeared to put the interests of the newsvendors against that of the public, The legal liabilities under which newsven dors lay now were much greater than they would be under the bill of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. He did not believe the repeal of the stamp duty would lower the character of the press, for he believed that no cheap unstamped papers would indulge in the licence of language which often characterised the Times. It was said that the effect of repealing the duty would be to throw away an' immense, amount of revenue. But there would be no loss if a postage charge were levied at the rate of ono penny for every four ounces of printed matter. An amendment in that sense would be moved in the House of Com mons. It was said that this tax was collected with little difficulty and at small expense. But let them aek the officers of the Inland Revenue-office whether that was the case ? It was generally admitted 'that it was per fectly impossible to carry out, the law as it stood at pre rent. No doubt there might be some practical difficulty in dealing with a mixture of stamped and unstamped papers. 'But he believed that, like many other difficulties, it might be, and would be, overborne ; and at all events, it was not for them to set their own interests against those of the public. After dwelling upon the benefits which he anticipated from the diffusion of knowledge that he thought would be consequent upon the multipli cation and the cheapness of newspapers, Mr. Holy/mks concluded by moving, as an amendment :—" That, in the opinion of the meeting, it is desirable to abolish the newspaper stamp and security system, and admit all printed matter to postage at the rate of four ounces for a penny." Mr. TRUELOVE seconded the motion. Mr. TERRY briefly replied. The question was then put to the meeting, when the original motion was carried by a large majority of those present. Mr. TERRY then moved two other resolutions, de claring that the revenue would sustain a loss by the proposed change, because the railways would success fully compete with the Post-office in the conveyance of the unstamped papers ' • and that it would, moreov er , i n reality rather restrict than increase the circulation of in telligence, since papers would no longer be circulated first in town and then in the country, and consequently their cost to the reader would not undergo the reduction consequent upon this double circulation. The resolutions were agreed to, and the proceedings then terminated.

If those N resolution agreed to by the House of Co, leis day.) repealing the r proposed by !a.e reason there 4 ten to theorists ?he prepared the nmons took the trouble to consult the persons best acquainted with the whole working of the existing system, they certainly do not seem to have profited much by the_ opinions they elicited. It would have been di ffi cult, .'"not impossible, to put into any one enactment regulati . more calcu lated to create obstructions to trade, or pore injurious to the best interests of the community, titian those which are embodied in the bill about to be pressed on the House of Commons. The opinion opinion of all persons connected slth the produc tion and sale of . newspapers presents a 'kems.rkable una nimity on this subject. If a mere trade prejudice had been manife,ted, the Chancellor of the Exchequer might have been justified in disregatding it. such, however, is not the character of the resistance offered to the pro posed change in the Newspaper Stamp law. The ab stract question of abolition having been decided by the House of Commons, no mere outcry was raised by those who might have hien supposed interested in maintaining "a monopoly." On the contrary, they whited to see what were the particular enactments proposed. When the first was abandoned, from its inherent complexity and impracticability, they gave the Fame patient considera tion to the second—that which thR Chancellor of . the Exchequer is now about seeking to have made law of the land. Only when its working was seen to be absolutely impossible was resistance 041-2 red to it ; and even now that resistance is of the most temperate cha racter. Thus much is in justice due to the proprietors, conductors, and vendors of newsDapers,that the public may see that they have not been actqatta: by anymerely sordid views of their own interest. .. A great mistake is committed by a•legislator when he seeks to make or to change a law, without consult. ing those who are practically acquainted with the sub ject to which it relates. Of this we have .a strong proof in the convincing arguments offered last night against the measure of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, at the meeting of the News Trade in St. Martin's Hall. Without disparaging Sir -George Cornewall Lewis or his advisers, we must say that more sense was there uttered on the subject than is to he found in all the ,arguments that were used in the House of Commons in support of the Bill, The speeches had reference, not merely to the practical working of the proposed change, but also to its general policy ; but al, though those who addressed the meeting were naturally more acquainted with the former than with the latter, the tone of their remarks on the abstract question evinced so superior an appreciation, as to reflect back importance on the objections which they made in their capacity of vendors of newspapers. Haste is one of the inevitable accompaniments of all newspaper work. From the original collector of news to the vendor of the printed newspaper extreme rapidity is the law of adieu. Of the extraordinary energy and facility required to get a newspaper. together, every pur chaser has abundant proof. Few know, however, the difficulties attending the actual publication, transmission, and general circulation. Upon this head the members of the news trade, assembled last evening at St. Martin'a Hall, were,pecirliarly qualified to speak. The Chairman, Mr. Wild, explained to the meeting—and we hope his remarks will not escape the notice of . the Chancellor of the Exchequer—the extreme hurry in which the opera tions of the newsvendor are carried mi. The distinction made between the stamped and unstarnred papers will render the ordinary operations of the newsvendor almost impossible. At a late hour—before post time—and un der an extreme pressure, how are the newsvendors t 4 be able to examine the thousands and tens of thousands of copies that will pass through their hands, in -order to se parate the stamped from the unsfamped papers? Again, when the bags arrive at the Post-office, how is the same process to be renewed there ? If the reader has ever been present at St. Martin's-le-Grand about five o'clock he will be able to form sense idea of the difficulties with which the Post-office authorities are menaced by this measure. Mr. WILD also showed with great clearness that there could be no analogy between the case of papers like the Atheneum and Punch, and that of papers like the Times or Chronicle. The stamped edition of Punch is printed one day, the unstamped another ; there is, therefore, no difficulty in regulating the proportions. But a daily newspaper must publish its stamped and unstamped copies continuously, within a few hours, and all on the same morning. How can the demand fur stamped, as compared with unstamped papers, be known beforehand? How is the perpetual confusion inseparable - from each an intermingling to be avoided 1 There are practical difficulties which peculiarly affect the newsvendors. The public may not be aware that the practice of exchanging one paper for another prevails throughout the trade. Thus a person who has more Herat& or Posts than he wants fcr that day exchanges theta for Chronicles or for the Times. But under this 14,w bill, the dif ference between stamped and unstamped papers will practically interfere with this usage, and by go much deter the newsmen from buying papers which they j rzn io l n t s o ! f i t s h , rs T ' h ob e is, in fact, fatal to' the operation of the measure. Such difil tmhaeylibraecctiocmalppelalretd of f O l t c h e e e pn newsvendors' s a v loss. endo culties may be scoutei by mere theorists, but in a busi ness where minutes are so valuable they are exactly the objeetions which ought not to be despised. The newsvendors have not lost sight of the higher but scarcely more important considerations involved. They poin • t out the impolicy of abandoning at such a time a tax pre-eminently voluntarily, and paid by the public without demur. They show that, as cheap newspapers will be sent by railways to the larger towns, the rail ways will gain at the expense of the Post-office. Nor will the loss be made up by increased paper duty— be cause the same agitators who have got up this cry against the stamp are also pl e d ge d t o abolish the Excise duty on paper. Another practical evil these shrewd and experienced observers have pointed out. The publishers of unstamped papers being under no obligations to- give securities for good conduct cheap libellous papers may be 'published. Against the: consequences of actions and proPecutions those parsons would protect themselves by running away; and the newsvendor would then become the person liable to punishment, however innocent of all knowledge of the Contents of the papers he passes over his counter. This is no imaginary evil. It actually occurred when papers like the Age and Satirist were in existence. The stamp, besides acting itself as• a guarantee of respectability, does, by the accompanying securities, protect the news men against such an injusVce. Surely suggestions of this kind thus offered in the name of the news trade would have had their weight with either the present or the late Chancellor of the Exchequer, had they conde scended to ask the opinion of practical men. The measure is one of centrAliPation. Papers published in the metropolis may go by rail to the large towns, or those published in the large towns !nay be distributed by hand. But the rural distriots—precisely those most in want of sound political information—will be left without newspapers. At present, b y th e ref ransmissior4hrough the post, they get th ese p apers, as has been ably shown, at a cost of less than one penny. With an evening contem porary, we ask, why not leave well alone ? The public do not ask for this change, the proprietors do not ask for it, and those who are responsible ft;r the revenue must in their secret minds see the extreine folly of such an objectless sacrifice. ' The deterioration and degrada tlon of the press will result fr. - mi the labours of the agi tators, if it be not their object. W e mean no slur'un the more intelligent inhabi+ants of the great capital of ma nufacturing industry when we recall the exclamation et one of the newsvendors present. last evening. Alluding to the promoters of this movement, he cried out, "They dislike the Landon press. It is .too respectable for Manche.iter!" As regards the secret object of the is no small amount of V:utb. egitat Ire, we have little doubt that in this charge there TILE POLICY OF ALEXANDER H. ( From the Morning Advertiser of yesterday.) It is difficult for us to understand how a contemporary can pretend, "that the imlicatisna hitherto given in Russia of the policy of the new reign Are nearly all of a more temperate character, and that there is a wide dif ference. between the present language of the R uss i an e Cabinet and the insane appeals a ddressed by Nicholas to the fanaticism of his subjects in opp o sition to the com bined policy of Europe." Let us look to th e f acts. i s n ol T id b a e t : which e n e hwisr Alexanderei e g m n p has been : n ) e II: e . n t hpe i r n oh a ci u l ga l i u ! en r ss a t te t ddgt he will byCon solidate a manifesto, of power ha and glory, and that through him shall be fulfilled the designs and desires of his predecessors, Peter the Great, Catherine 11., Alexander the much. beloved, and of his own august Father. Thi s i s tolerably I strong. The late ruler of Russia also acted, it is true, according to the principles laid 'down by his proto types in aggression ; ye: - .. he never, even in his moat frantic appeals, openly confessed himself the per petuator of conquering despotism ; he rather disclaimed ambitious views. The present Muscovite Sovereign, on the contrary, not only pursues the traditional policy, but explicitly makes a doctrine of it ; nay, he declares that he will not only workout what is known to be the patent policy of Russia, but pursue even the most bidden "designs and desires" of his models. Nor is this all. To give the manifesto still more significance, to connect it still more intimately with the views of the late Emperor, it has now been divulged in the Musco vite capital—as we see from St. Petersburg letters — that the document issued after the, advent of the new Czar, had been sketched out and read before the dying Autocrat, who gave it his full approbation. In these last days, too, Alexander IL, in a speech made to the so-called Senate, asserted "that for upwards of ten yearn he had participated of, and had his full share in, the acts of Government, and had been initiated into the projects of his deceased father"—an expression which seems to indicate that he does not intend to swerve from the here ditary policy of the house of Rotnanoff. His appeals to the army breathe the same spirit ; and Ithe famous dictum of Nicholas,' "In te, Domine, speravi,- non confundar in ceternuin !" is quite- eval led, and even surpassed, by the menacing exclamation, " Woe to the enemies of Russia !" which is contained is Alexander the Second's order of the (ley to the army. Besides, some more Imperial lucubrations have since come to hand. For instance, an open letter to the Cossacks of the Don, in e•itich the Government of St. Petersburg strives to work up the zeal of these rude warriors, by presenting thelo, as a token of gratitude for their faithful and glorious services, with the Cossack uniform worn by the deceased Czar, and which "hence forth is to be preserved among the sacred treasures of the Don Cossacks, as a holy relic and an imperishable remembrance for ages to come." Through another letter Alexander 11. transmits to the Czarewitsch Crown Prince the post he himself has hitherto held, of Ataman of all the Cossack hordes ; and he takes this opportunity to vow a most romantic eternal love to the Guard regiments - of the Cossacks, " with whom he has identified himself." In a docu ment addressed to Prince Alexander Sserjewitsch (llenschikoff), he rejoices over the " truly Russian valour with which the troops have repulsed all efforts of their enemies." lie thanks the gallant defenders of Sebastopol for the glorious deeds, by which they have rendered illustrious for ever the war-annals of the Empire, and, repeating the doctrine of Holy Russia, he urges on his troops to battle by assuring them that " the late chief of the Orthodox army, who has entered into eternal life, loOks down from Heaven upon, and gives his benedic tion to, the perseverance and unprecedented intrepidity with which the troops sustain the struggle." Such is the language of the Russian Government, en the temperance of which the Times has such flattering r praises to bestow. Perhaps it has not occurred to our contemporary that, in all the public manifestoes, open letters, orders of the day, &c., issued since the 2d of March, and of which there is an authentic text before us—(and there are a great many, though a part only of them have been published in this country)—not in one single instance has the word peace been pronounced ; whilst Nicholas, be it remembered, almost invariably .took. the prec4ntion of hypocritically veiling his ambi tious pretensions by allusions to the re-establishment of peace. This is quite in accordance with the actual state of parties at the Russian Court. Only a few days ago, as we see from the Berlin papers, the Court of Frederick William was filled with sorrow at the news that the Old-Russian war-party were getting more and more paramount at St. Petersburg. The only occasion when Alexander 11. alluded publicly to efforts at pre sent making for bringing the Eastern contest to a con clusion was in an oral communication to the Diplo matic Corps assembled on the 7th of March in the Win ter Palace. The Muscovite Sovereign, on that day, arrogantly pretended that "he would give peace to Europe" if honourable conditions are offered to Russia; but should they not be so, he would rather perish than accept them. In a similar manner, Alexander 1., in 1812, repliedrto the offers of the French Emperor :-- " Rather than accept dishonourable conditions I will retire into the depths of Siberia !" Another remarkable feature in the declaration spoken by tho present Czar on March 7, is the reference to the Holy Alliance. Though this Absolutistic Lcaeue has virtually been dissolved by the events of 1848, Alex ander 11. said he had reason to hope that the principles upon which the despotic solidarity of Russia, Prussia, and Austria was founded might soon again serve as a bond between those States. This expression little milli rates that the Court of Vienna is about to cross swords with the Bashkirs. It seems rather a proof that the Muscovite Cabinet believes itself to be master of the diplomatic game which is being played in the apartments of Count Duo! Schauenstein. It has been said, "there is nothing like Russian leather ;" but henceforth it may be said there is nothing like Russian " temperate" policy. Fulfilment of tile designs of Peter, Catherine, Alexander, an l Nicholas— victory to the ortlio,lox army on the sacred soil of the Mus covite Ernpire—re-establishment of the Holy : this is pretty well fir "temperate" programme ; and most unwise, most unstatez.rnanlike would it be in us to throw any difficulties in the way of a Sovereign who pm sues so unambitious a policy. So think: our G'overniamit. So are our Plenipotentiaries at Vienna instructed to think. So all temperate and moderate people must think. The fact is, since the accession of the new Czar, there exists no longer any Russian ques tion at all ! It is true, the world has in these latter times allowed itself to be subject to a most passionate. anti-Russian fever—but the crisis is now over, the draughts of our diplomatists at the Peace Congress are Certain to remove the last symptoms, and only most in veterate Russophobes can any longer refuse to swallow the marvellous antidote offered, under the modest name of the Four Points, A.s, however, there might here and there be still ex tant among the public some groundless aversion to these Four Points, our contemporary has, in his Tuesday's im pression, published an explanation and direction for the use of that famous medicine, and we will not neglect to give our readers the full benefit •f it, by republishing the hints and remarks the Times has on this subject. In respect to the first point—the protectorate over the Danubian Principalities—we are informed that the "ex clusive" protectorate exercised by Russia will cease, and that the only question is, " how the suzerain rights of the Porte can best be secured without infringing on the independence of the Christian authorities, whioh alone can administer these countries." From this it is quite clear that the Czar, in future, will have a co-equal right of interference with the affairs of Moldo-Wallachia, and that the question is 'not to drive out Russia, but to su persede the Ottoman Government, which is declared to have no right of administering two provinces of its own ! But to i . of Moldo-Wallachia only from the hands of the Porte would scarcely be worth while ; better to swallow up at once European Turkey whole. " Indeed, the farther," says our con temporary, "the Plenipotentiaries of Europe proceed in their discussion the more forcibly will they perceive that the whole system of the Ottoman Empire, in dealing with its dependencies and its Christian sub jects, must pass under their revision." Of ceursd, the innocent reader will ask himself, in great astonishment, whether this is the settlement of conditions and restrictions to be put upon the Russian aggressor. The answer, however, is ready at hand. "It will pro bably be found before long," says our oracle, " that in these negotiations the Turkish obstacles are not the least difficult to be surmounted, and that, before we can reckon on any of the political results we had hoped to obtain from this war, we have as much to require from our ally as from our adversary." In a word, not only the . Government of Moldo-Wallachia, but of twelve millions of Turkish subjects, is to be wrested from the hands of the Sultan. After basing settled thus two knotty points, our con temporary approaches the navigation of the Danube. 'But, as there can be no idea of giving back the Danubian Delta and Bessarabia to Turkey, in order to secure the free navigation of the river, the only solu tion of this point being a verbal promise of the Rus sian Government, our contemporary does net stop long at this affair ; and at once turns to what is be lieved to be the real difficulty, viz., the freedom of the Black Sea. Uere, however, there is no diffi- Culty, after all ! Nobody thought of abolishing the Convention of the Straits, which gives to Russia security from attacks upon her Pontic possessions ! Nobody, also, thought of demanding that Russia should raise the fortifications of her Crimean stronghold ! "The real aggressive power," we are told, " lay not so much in the "fortifications of Sebastopol," as in the fleet sheltered by that harbour. The reduction of the Russian fleet, there fore, can only form the subject of discussions and de mand, and upon. that point the Plenipotentiaries are prepared to take their stand. By a mot wonderful process all questions concern ing Russia have thus been simplified and reduced to a single bead—the Muscovite fleet in the Euxiue. Arrived at this port, our contemporary, however, ahruptly leaves his readers ; and therefore we, on our part, take up the work in order to coinpleto the feel ing of public satisfaction. The Russtan fleet in the Black Sea—mark. this!—once consisted of fourteen ships of the line. But when . the Allied squadrons ap proached the harbour of Sebastopol, Prince Mensebikoff caused six of them to be stink at the entrance of the p. rt—eight ships then remained ! Sonic time after' it was found that the entrance bad not been sufficiently blocked up, and the Muscovite "Admiral" accordingly despatched anothi r ship under water—reducing the whole number to seven. Now, the number to which the fleet of the Czar ought to be reduced, according to the pro jects of the Vienna diplomatists if the correspondents of our contemporary be well informed, six ships of the line ! The whole Eastern and Russian question then re solves itself into the problem, " What shall we do with the ono supernumerary ship of. the line at 'Sebastopol ?" This problem may cause some discussion ; it is, however, to be hoped that our diplomatists will find means to get over the difficulty. As a contribution to its solution, we venture to suggest that Alexander 11. may be re quested to do an act of magnanimity, and graciously to allow that this ship of the line may serve- to carry the flag of the English Admiral who will re-transport our army to receive on its return, if not the !wird wreaths of victory, the palm leaves, at least, from the happy bands of Messrs. Cobden and Bright, just in the same manner as if our soldiers had succeeded in s t o rming , the great stronghold of the Northern Autocrat. lhus, peace will be concluded, Turkey be reformed , and Eng land become ripe to undergo the mode of treatment most in accordance with the designs of Peter, Catherine, Alexander, and Nicholas. NEWCASTLE AND CARLISLE RAILWAY.—The annual meeting of this company was held in the Board Room of the Directors, at the Central Station, Newcastle-upon- Tyne, on Tuesday; W. Woods, Esq., chairman of the di rectors, presided. The chairman read the report of the di rectors, an abstract of which has already been published. He remarked that there had been a considerable increase durin g the past year in the cost of coke, the amount being 2,3001. in excess of the former year. The income, however, was so satisfactory that the directors had felt themselves justified in adding considerably to the reserve fund, and paying fur a new locomotive out of revenue, a charge which has usually been placed to the account of ca;)ital. ]le congratulated the shareholders on the satis factory position of the company. Mr. P. G-. Ellison moved that the reprt be adopted. Mr. Matthew Ball seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously.

Any new member will only be the " double" of Mr. Sidney Herbert. The Reform Act of 1832 never intended a single member of the House of Commons to have the privilege of two votes in Parlia ment. Mr. Herbert may not now nominate Mr. G. Hope. He may substitute seine young university scion of an opulent family, in lieu of the Puseyite man originally in his eye —come juvenile successful orator of a university debating society, who may, perchance, recruit the shat tered forces of the aristocracy. But who can doubt, whoever Mr. Herbert nominates, that the successor of Mr. A Court will be equally a courtier to his patron, and will be always in or out of the house and lobby with Mr. Sidney Herbert ? However this might be, would it not be a "constitutional "act in the House of Commons to refuse or suspend a writ for Wilton, on the indisput able ground that an " election " by its miserable consti tuency is a " mummery," a mockery, and a delusion ?. Mr. Herbert was himself a member of the late Cabinet which last year, placing his own pocket borough in a new schedule A, proposed to disfranchise Wilton. Put the right honourable member to the test of his new libe ral' principles. Surely some true and liberal repesenta tire member of the Commons will apply the touch stone and begin the siege of close boroughs and abomin able jobs. Let the really liberal party raise a discussion on the new writ for every rotten borough condemned by the late ministry,' and we shall soon have a new Reform Act and fewer jobs.—Daily News. I PRICE SD. IE NATIONAL FAST. (From the Times of this day.) We have had ocr Fast. It was rather against the grain, but we thought it right, and we did it, as we do many things for which we have not exactly a taste, though we have the religion or the good sense to submit to them. We did not fast after the manner of antiquity, from all food, in sackcloth and ashes, but on salt fish and egg sauce, or on cold or boiled mutton, in our best coats and clean linen, abstaining from our houses of business, and, as the sky so willed it, from our ordinary walks or rides. It was a dull day and a long day. It hung heavily on hand, and had not even the quality of making one ready for bed. Those of us who went to church, and for the present purpose we will assume that we all did, heard a considerable variety of doctrine ; some preachers being of opinion that war is a good thing, some treating it as an unmitigated evil ; and some, on the latter supposition, tracing it to one national sin, and some to another. Such was John Bull's Fast, dull at all events, and a thing one is glad to have got over—just as people are glad to get Lent over, though Lent or no Lent is all the same to them. At all events, we congratulate ourselves that there is no hypocrisy here, no taking out abstinence in murder, no present denial with a view to future indul gence. The author of " Eothen" says that in a state of protracted bodily inanition the mind is liable to crirainal imaginations of a, monstrous character, and that more crimes of an abnormal and hideous type are committed during the fasts of the Greek Church than at any other period. Well, we have nothing of that sort in this country. But, stop, candid reader ; just reflect for a moment. There may be hollowness, insincerity, and weakness of purpose in the best Saxony cloth and the finest. Irish linen as well as in sackcloth and ashes—on roast beef as well as on an empty stomach. After all, the result is the test of a Fast. If we continue in the sins which have humbled and chastised us, we have done our modest Parliamentary fast to very little purpose, and are as great hypocrites as the rude Muscovite pea sant, who fasts all Lent and is dead drunk by 3 o'clock on the afternoon of Easter-day. And this, we are sorry to say, is our case. We very much doubt whether the Fast has made any difference in the ways of office. Job bery is still triumphant—nay, we are assured that at this moment worse jobs are going on than any in the course tseo say. of the whole war, which appears to be a good deal At this moment the nation may be excused if it does not attempt the reconstruction of an existing army. It so happens, however, that we are making a new one—not a new one for ourselves, but a sort of model army for our ally—the Turk. We are about to teach Turkey how to set about making a real army. Now, how is this done, now that we have bumbled our selves and repented of jobbery and other sins ? A letter with a well-known signature opens the question. A body of twenty thousand Turks is to be formed and maintained, fed, clothed, and armed, at the ex pense of this country. There can be no objection to this, excepting that in the event of failure we shall cut a very sorry figure by the side of Omar Pasha, of the Danube, and now of Eupatoria. We undertake to officer and train this army. How do we begin ? We give the command to General Vivian, who, it is said, is without any actual war experience, and whose only service has been as Adjutant-General of the only Indian army which has seen no service. This is to meet the cry for Indian officers, and it does meet that cry, for we are not like y to hear it again. We then invite the services of Indian officers by a public notification, and have seen a list of some hundred names. Among others that respond to this timely appeal is Brigadier Mayne. lie is a man, if ust of teropean, of Asiatic reputation. There is no one in all India more thoroughly up to the enlistment and management of irregular horse. Such a man, two centuries ago, tied by no allegiance, ‘%ould have carved out a kin:2:doin for himself anal founded an Indian dy nasty. Wherever he might happens to be employed, if within reach of India, he would find his Indian friends flocking to his sts ndard. Wed, he applies at the Horse Guards, and finds that he would have over his head Colonel Shirley,' who has never commanded anything else than a British Dragoon fresh from his barrack-yard. Why, even in India, with the light native cavalry before everybody's eyes, it is quite a speciality to be able to manage them, and if one English officer can, another can not. At all events, nobody is supposed capable of com manding them till he is tried. In this instance we have a wholly untried man—a man whose experience is con fined to a force of the most contrary possible character, and who has never taken that force into action—se lected to command an unknown force in an unknown country under unknown circumstances; and when an other man, to whom all these things are known, who knows fighting, wilts knows the nature of the irregular cavalry of the East, and has obtained the greatest reputation therein, asks to be employed, ke finds he is to be under a man whose inexperience must inevitably neutralize all' 'big own experience. Yet, all this is known to the authorities. Brigadier Mayne's services are history ; Colonel Shirley's are comprised in the following line in the Army List :—" Arthur Shirley, Lieutenant-Colonel Unattached. Ensign, 1830 ; Lieute nant, 1833 ; Captain, 1836 ; Major, 1816 ; Lieutenant- Colonel, 1847 ; Colonel, 1854. Placed on half-pay 1851." This was enough to damp the ardour of Brigadier Mayne. Atiother Indian officer, successively on the staff of Lord Hardinge and Lord Dalhousie, happening to be here on sick leave, puts down his name and attends at the Horse Guards; He finds that he would have to serve under two officers whose connexion with the Indian army was brought to an end by sentence of court-martial for conduct unworthy of officers and gentlemen. Now, General Vivian and Lord Panmure may or may not think these the sort of men to form, to discipline, to Europeanise, a Turkish army. They may or may not think it an object to exalt the morality of the Turk, and to give him English gentlemen for his officers. We really cannot answer for them, after what has reached us of the formation of this new corps. Bat what we ask is, " Where is the promised reforni?" Where is the working of our new Government ? What is to come from the Fast, and how are we to expect the blessings of Heaven if we begin by setting aside not only the ,mandates of Heaven, the instincts of virtue, and the suggestions of common. sense, but the findings of our own courts martial and the public opinion of our armies ? To all appearance, we are going on as we began. Heaven will never help those who will not help themselves. What is it, indeed, that we want ? Do we want to assist the Turks and humble the Russians ? To all appearance, nothing of the kind. We only want so make places for General This, Colonel That, and Major So-and-So. That is all, and to this paramount object Turk and Eng lishman are alike to be sacrificed, with just a chance of I Our doing some little harm by the way to the Russians. OUR INCURABLES AGAIN. Our yeaterlay's notice of the Herbert A'Court job burst like a Sebastopol shell in the camp of the British aristocracy. The storming of the fortress of our home adversaries will, we well know, require lonz-continued and patient siege. We stick to our guns, of the public press. Our notice of the twin job, viz., the provision fur life of a brother-in 7 law, and a nomination substitute for the close b,,r,iug.,11 of Wilton ' has produced a props tore labour in the following deading article of the Globe of last night : " Hr. o: H. Wyndham A'Court, M.P. for Wilton, has been appointed Special Commissioner of Income Tax. A . vacancy occurred some months since in the office of Coln- . missioner of Inland Revenue, by the death of Mr. Rush worth, which was not filled up; but from the increasing business convected with the Income Tax department, it became clear that some addition should be made to the art prior staff of the office. Insteati, however, of appointing ileW commissioner of Inland Revenue, the Government have only filled up a. Special Cornmissionership of Inourno Tax, vacant for same time, the salary of which is bat half that of the former office.- By this arrangement it is ex pected that the efficiency of the department will be made equal to the increase of business, while the saving of COG& a year to the public will be effected." 'Thus it appears that Air. A'Clurt is appointed, not to an Irish Income Tax vacant place, but as a "Special Commissioner" of .the Inland Revenue Board. We do not comment on the legerdemain assettion of our mini-- terial contemporary, tLat there is a rac in g to the public by this indefensible appointment. Nor do wo care to account for the fact that the " vacancy occurred some months since." Wo leave the Government to explain the reason for the delay in filiing 'up so " spcial " a vacancy. Nor is any "saving of GOO/. to the public," in this opportune sacrifice to a retir ing section of the late Cabinet, explainable by us or by the Globe. The best economy of the public ser vice is tie selection of tried and deserving public servants for our administrative departments. e• The jobbing of t h ese oil:less, as the spoils of the aristocracy, has been the bane of Great Britain and Ireland. True and snfficieutly paid administrators constitute an economy far mole prac ticable than the pretended reduction in the number and salaries of the public servants. We repeat, what claim or right had a three-year old member of Parliament, brother-in-law of Mr. Sidney Herbert, to any such re sponsible and well-paid office as Mr. A'Court has hap pily obtained ? How many meritorious clerks are there in the public offices—broken-hearted for want of recog nition of 20 or 30 years' public service—far better quali fied for and deserving of this " special" cornmissiottership of income tax I Nay, how many officers at home inva lided from the Crimea, and who have escaped its dan gers ? Does any reader doubt that the present objec tionable and scandalous appointment is a job—" a pre ference"—inh Mr. of Herbert's Wilton i r n o tten favourbor; e l o a r t i vthe,atthtehemem f b e e r r e n f o c r e 'h' his pre ferment is not connected with the desirable nomination of some substitute representative of that wretched provin cial constituency of Wilton! The Globe does not grapple with our expose of -the system, The aristocracy, by per sistence in this system of patronage and bait of the House of Commons, will soon overthrow itself, if our lords and ladies, and the salons, cannot be convinced that they are playing in such times a suicidal game. No house was made last night, therefore no new writ could be moved for Wilton. We trust, however, if to-day such a motion is made by the Secretary of the Treasury, some independent member will be on the the alert, and will, previously to 'any order for the writ, exact an explana. tion from Ministers of the precise circumstances Which have occasioned the vacancy in the representation, and (on 'whose responsibility the appointment has been made. THE •GERMAN BOSPITAL AT DALSTON. Yesterday was commemorated, by a splendid banquet at the London Tavern, the 10th anniversary festival of that excellent institution, the German Hospital of Dal ston—an institution which was originally founded for the cure of natives of Germany, but the benefits of which are now extended to English patients resident in the district. The German Hospital was favoured, from the first, with the patronage of the Queen, and the pre .sence yesterday of a Prince of the blood—renowned for his recent gallant achievements in arms, lent an unusual lustre to the festival. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge arrived at the tavern at about a quarter to 7 o'clock. attended by Baron Knesebeck, and was es corted to the presidential chair by the committee. His Royal Highness was supported by the Hanoverian Am bassador, Count Kielmansegge, the Prussian Ambassa dor, Count Bernstorff, Baron Knesebeck, the Rev. Archdeacon Robinson (Master of the Temple,) Mr. Hebeler, the Prussian Consul-General, Mr. H. Huth, Dr. Tiarks, Dr. Wahne, and Mr. W. H. Mullens. The genernil company included a large party of English and foreign friends of the hospital. On rising to propose the first toast, his Royal Highness was received with a general and spontaneous burst of cheering, which pre vented his Royal Highness from proceeding for some moments. The healths of her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the Royal family were then proposed in due course, and duly honoured. The toast of " The Sovereign Princes of Europe who patronised the hospital" was responded to by Count Kielmansegge, who, in se doing, paid a marked compliment to his Royal Highness, and observed that the people of Germany would be proud to ' recognise in the president of their English hospital so valiant a warrior, and so worthy a descendant of the renowned "Henry the Lion." His Royal Highness then proposed the toast of the evening, "Prosperity to the German Hospital," in a speech fall of earnestness and deep sympathy. His Royal Highness mainly rested his advocacy on the stati-tics of the hospital, an abstract of which will be found below. His Royal High ness said, it was unuecessary to say much in support of these k;ures; they spoke for thealseives. He felt much indebted to those of his countrymen who had this day attended to support him, bt.t in so doing they were only supporting their own poor and afflicted people; many of whom, albeit English, were altowed to enjoy the ineti timabits benefits of the German Hospital. His Royal Highness suggested the gar.; ing necessity for an enlarge. uncut of the hospital, or miller the rebuilding of a Lew host) tai on a more convenient site, and c‘mcluderl. by congratulating the company on the generally satisfactory sate of the institution. The report of 1854 shows that the debt of 1,2001. has been reduced to 900/. ; that during the past year 868 in-patients were aebnitted, and 7,882 out-patients treated, besides 625 dental cases- 7 . making a grand total of 5,066 in-patients and 40,897 out patients relieved since the opening of the hospital in 1845. The next toast was "The Health of his Royal Highness the President," proposed by Mr. R. - Twining. This was the signal for a soconi outbreak of loyal feel ing towards his Royal Highness, who was evidently much affected by this affectionate reception, for " kind" would be too cold a word to express its nature. His Royal Highnev, in returning thanks, said how much he had been gratified at his reception by all classes of his fellow-citizens since his return. He had endeavoured to discharge the duties which devolved upon him, and, be ing now, under peculiar circumstances, obliged to return home, it was his great desire to do his duty. 'just as efficiently in a civil capacity. He was convinced that one of . the greater characteristics of England was her charity, and the greater her charity, the greater the esteem in which she would be held by the world. The toast of " the Army and Navy" was propOsed by Mr. Walne (amid a very disorderly interruption from the lower tables), and drunk with the greatest enthu siasm. The usual toasts in honour of the vice-presidents, the treasurer, the auditors, and the medical officers of the hospital, were afterwards proposed from the chair, and drunk with all the honours. The list of subscrip tions collected during the evening amounted to the mu niioent sum of 2,0001., including donations of 501. from Prince frumhisAlbert, Royal S H OI. ig f h r n om ees t t h h e e DKuinkge of Hanover, fcerebridge 20 1. from 1000/1: from the King of Prussia, 251. from Messrs. Rothschild (in addition to many former donations), and 10/. 10s. from Mr. Hubbard, the Governor of the Bank of Eng land. The dinner was in Mr. Bathe's very best style, and all the arrangements were first-rate. A band of music played during the banquet, and in the course of the evening there was a very superior selection of in strumental music. M. Benedict, Herr Ernst, Miss Jenny Bauer, Mademoiselle Cornet, and Herr Ganz rendered their services gratuitously. The vocalists re gularly engaged were—Miss Messent, Miss L. Stuart, Mr. G. Tedder, and Mr. H. Biaham. Mr. Harker was toastmaster, and his office was no sinecure. XHE.LIIGIILAND SOCIETY OF LONDON. The annual gathering of the members of this society, for the purpose of commemoratin g the battle of Alex andria, was held last evening at Freemasons' Hall. The avowed objects of this society (which was established in 1778 and incorporated in 1815) are for preserving the martial spirit, dress, music, and language ; the remains of - Celtic literature and antiquities of the ancient Cale donians; encouraging a kindly feeling between High-. lenders iu all parts of the world, and in other resp ec t s promoting the general welfare of the northern parts the kingdom. The members sat down to an excellent dinner, which was presided over by Sir Charles Forbes, Bart., who was supported by General Sir John Wilson, Sir John :Milky Doyle ; De. Chisholin, of the Royal Artillery Medical and abut 50 other gentlemen. Mr. Crawford gave his valuable services., and Rang several solos. Miss St. Armand presided at the pianoforte, and Miss Ito bertean Stage, a young lady from Edinburgh, made her first appearance as a vocalist. The usual preliminary toasts having been drunk and most loyally responded to, '['he CllaniMaN next proposed to the company the toast of "The memory of Abercrombie, and the - heroes who fell with him in Egypt," to be drunk in solemn ,ilence.• Tcis was.the anniversary of the Highland So ciety, which, in 'spite of all difficulties and opposition, and in spite of attempts to cry clown the utility of •the Vighland Society, had Boon above it all. (Cheers.) It had coetieued to prosper and steadily to do goo.l. The eresent toast was espeAaliy • directed to the her who fe lin Egypt.. It . was a melancholy occasion, but at. the saree time it was one of pride, which Lrouget l a lc to their recollection the gallant heroes who perished at Viet glorious fight. Tee CHATE/lAN proposed the health of Lord Saltoun, the president of the society, and then proceeded to:give h n el&ise th .a 3 li p ud u e i d ce to ol o tl ; i t e rnu g i a i l d i g any e "The Army and Navy," a to which w as rece i ve d e vy o in u i c •a t p o t f ur l o i t s is it it , p y l a )l l a ll us i e ,z . who hid endeared himself to every soldier by the hearty good feeling he had evinced towards, them. (Loud cheers.) Of the army and navy it was imdossibra to speak too highly. On a Info occasion—nand when be said that they all knew what he meant.— they all must admire as he did, the bravery, the gallantry, the indo mitable courage—the insuperable courage which hat by the.will of God, signalised the efforts of the army and navy. He raid by this will of God, ly..ca.use within the last few menthe, indeed at their last anniversary, they ha ,' seven gallant officers of the army present, four of whom had been killed, and one who was wounded had afterwards died of Lis wounds, making five out of seven Who had perished in the cause of their country. .(Hear.) This he considered to be an illustration of what the Bri tish army was. The British army had evinced a Spirit of endurance which was known only to that army. (Cheers.) For himself as a Briton—as a son of Britain --he felt it to be a pride to have such an army and navy. He drank the health of the British army, including English, Scotch, and Irish, God bless them, and bring them back to receive that tribute of affectionate admira tion which the country was ready to bestow on them. , Sir Josef MILLEY DOYLE returned thanks for the army, and, alluding to his own career , stated that in early life be belonged to the 92d Gordon H ighlanders, He wore the petticoats in the 92d in Egypt. He had derived many useful lessons from his Scottish superiors, Prudence was not a distinguishing characteristic of an Irishman, but ingratitude was not a crime which at tached to the Irish character. (Loud cheers.) Captain JAY, R.N., returned thanks on behalf of the Navy. Many ether toasts followed. Mr. Crawford, sang several Scotch songs with great effect,' and Mils Ar mand played some variations on the ‘qillne Bills of Scotland" in a very creditable manner. Miss Robertson Stage made her debut with the song M "What's the steer, kimmer." The young lady, who has a• good mezzo soprano voice, was loudly encored. Sir JOHN MILLEY DOYLE gave the health of Sir Colin Campbell and the Highland Brigade. The toast was drunk in a manner ot ly to be imagined by Highlanders. A. dance by two of the younger sons of Sir Charles Forbes was admirably executed, with all the natioral enthusiasm which characterises their respected father ; and the evening concluded with the usual Scottish fes tivities. s. iff , "GNETIC TELEGRAPH. ti t . , ' 72 LONDON OFFIrES h , , Old Broad-street (six doors from the Royal Eychange.) talireet " n est End-7, Charity-cross (oppok e the statue.) .9 0 , 4 4 1 of ~..'"lnlunication by underground wires with the principa ~ r ta -T,B Kliv , dom ilett; 41- Aisrent Words,'including delivery, and address net ~1 4 e r, s _ .- • Y 4 , 1 ,,1 1 -l '°,. 1 , Office 2 Exchange-buildings . • •• . &I - s i l l :Me; „ ' Exchange-arcade ..... ....... ..... . i 2s. 6d. s s trk tic ,', „ 22, English-street 4 - ' 4 1.A4',4` 4111 lOl, New-street .. , ‘‘ -- -Glasgow, Office, 18, Exchange-square.. • • •._ i k , ,), Greenock, „ Cathcart -square .. 4s. ed. 01.1i 4 Dumfries, „ Iligh-strest ci — Thlblin, 23.
