Matriculated Member of the University of Edits urgb, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, ;:,icentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., The essential obiect of this treatise is to point out the fearful con . quence2 recuiting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, bleb have proauced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man ,sod, 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 .neir physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded • , e health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there are einciples of personal management which cannot be violated without curring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed aie heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties nay be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, t, ,d how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, that there Ic scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional lerangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

About the truth of this report I am by no means certain; but if Captain Christie goes his loss will be felt and deeply regretted by every transport-master out here. English Camp, Heights of Sebastopol, Feb. 18. The enemy seem now quits content to rely on their present defensive preparations, and having finished their second line of ditches and ahbattis round the,south side (we have no means of ascertaining the precise nature., of their works on the north), are resting from their labours, as far as new earthworks go. All their batteries seem in the most perfect order, and about fifty per cent. stronger than when we fir t sat down before the pl ace . The French are doing their best to disturb this slate of affairs, by firing heavily with their advanced mortar bat tery; but the enemy reply shot fur shot and shell for shell, and sometimes more. No material result appears to be produced by the fire of either party. Whatever mischief the Russians do to the works of our allies they repair in the course of the night, and the enemy do the same. Of course affairs would be very different if all the trenches of the Allies opened fire; but of that we have still no prospect, for it is now discovered (rather late in the day, your readers will say) that Sebastopol is most vulnerable from the heights of Inkerman, which com mand the head of the harbour and much of the north of the town. On this point, therefore, about a mile in ad vance of the spot where the battle of Inkerman was fought, new batteries are being thrown up, which are tWended to mount both long guns and mortars. One battery has already seven long 32's placed, with four 13- inch mortars. Another gun and another mortar will complete its equipment. The Russians harass the troops engaged in these works incessantly, both from their batteries on the north side of the Tchernaya under the upper Inkerman height, and from their mortar rafts at the head of the barbour,.which I mentioned some few days back. To the missiles from these latter is also added the galling effects of the fire of the small steamer, ' which, mounted with long and heavy guns, rushes out from under the land, discharges her broadsides, and then instantly returns. At present this lively little craft can do this work with impunity ; but when our new batteries do open the case will be A sad ose, if she ventures out. But, in spite of this constant fire, very few casualties happen to the French working parties, though the progress of the battery is 'certainly much re tarded from the men being so constantly compelled to lie down until the shell bursts. I am told that when this new battery is finished, and its guns mounted, it is intended to throw up another in front of it and nearer to the town, and also a larger and strongerme still fur therto the north. - 7 , , r:..,1:,, lauding, which' gives them seniority i l .e. t promotion. : . r - ' : ' The drafts for regiments brought by,the c ru idi a * artcl , , .., to occupy huts at Balaklava until infEnitut y anc,liiz. 4 ,,,!_ tised and inured to roughing to join j 1 4.,y , rempe c ti rs4 regiments. „. A Turkish frigate arrived yesterday at BillaklavN,,witla-;;, 400 Croats, who are to be employed in working on the'''. tramway. The first of the stationary engines for the new tram way was brought to Kadekoi this evening. When fixed in its position, I believe it is intended to work the line for ordinary traffic as far as that 'village. Both French and Russians have been firing homily throughout the day, and at the time I write (Bp.m.) our allies are still throwing shell into the enemy's works. The concussion caused by the fire of a 13-inch mortar in something tremendous. When the French fire, and the wind blows from them to us, the force of the explosion is felt even at the distance of a mile, as if you received a violent blow on the chest. Ido not envy those who have to fire them. FEBRUARX 20, Eight a.m. Both Admiral Lyons and the second in command, Admiral Houston Stewart, started far Eupatoria yester day evening, in the Royal Albert and Hannibal, screw liners. No news has reached as t‘) whether a battle took place there yesterday or 11,4. Adiniral Stewart will re main at Eupatoria while there is any prospect of the place being a , sailed ; indeed, it is said it is to be his , permanent station. • "§tfi - I have been informed that some of the staff of the Piedmontese army have arrived at Karneish to consult with Lord Rag,•!an as to the arrangements to be made for the reception of their forcei. I have also been in formed, on good authority, that when General Geo. Brown visited the Light Division a few days since, one of the very first questions he asked was, why had not the men their belts properly pipeclaYed ? The answer was, that there was no pipeclay to be got ; when Sir George replied, that they must send to England for some, as he was determined that .the men should pipe clay their belts, whatever they did. A nasty omen this for the comfort of the Light Division during the ensuing campaign, _ _ I have been requested to state that there is no founda tion for the report which appeared in a leading contem porary, that one of the privates in the 2d battalion of Rifles had deserted. None of their men have ever don* so. Before the summer sets in, when it will be too late, may I again press on the attention of our home autho rities the terrible condition which our camp ground and all the neighbourhood of Balaklara is in from decaying horses, offal, and filth of all descriptions. Every part of the camp is strewed with dead horses, cows, camels, and offal, in every state of putrifaction. The air is literally poisoned by this state of things, and what it will be in tie hot, weather, I dread to oontemplate. Surely in this climat e , and a fter the terrible lesson which we received last year from cholera, we will not again ridi cule sanitary precautions. In one little ravine near Inkerman the horses killed in that battle have bees thrown. Here the carcases of no less than 147 horses are in one huge pile of decomposition, the stench from which can be smelt all over the camp. It would be quite easy to throw earth into this ravine, or lime, which would be better still, but nothing of the kind is attempted, and I fear will not be attempted until too late, and until we have either the cholera or some ma lignant fever decimating our ranks again. The Sydney has arrived, and will be immediately filled with invalids, and sent down to Constantinople. Admiral Lyons: has addressed the following most gra tifying letter to the officers of the naval brigade, thank ing them for their splendid conduct during the progress of the siege, and the admirable and efficient order in which they have maintained the discipline of the seamen during a time of unusual hardship : " Agamemnon, off Sebastopol, Feb. 12. "It is with no small feeling of gratification that I en. close for your information the copy of a letter I add resse d to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, and of the reply thereto, which I have just rcoaived, and request that you will convey to the officers of the Royal Naval Brigade my sincere congratulations on the promotion they have so richly deserved. Your own meritorious services, as well as those of the captains under your immediate command, will no doubt receive their due reward at the proper period, and I request you will inform the petty officers and seamen that their services are duly appreciatedby the Ad miralty, and will also meet with their reward. " E. LYONS, Rear-Admiral, Commander-in-Chief. "To Captain Lushingten. " Agamemnon, off Sebastopol, Jan. 12. "Sir,—ln compliance with the directions contained is your letter of the 15th ult., No. 838, I beg leave to trans mit, to be laid before the Lords Commissioners of the Ad miralty, a list of all officers who have been or are now em ployed on shore with the army before Sebastopol, show ing the period they have been so employed. As I could hardly consider myself in a position to make observations as to the merits of each officer, I directed Captain Lush ington, who has commanded the Naval Brigade ever since its formation, to do so, and their lordships will observe that the remarks against each name are made by him ; but I may be permitted to say that the zeal, efficiency, and gallantry of the Naval Brigade, have been the theme of universal admiration ; nor have they been less conspicuous for the manly and cheerful manner in which they have borne up against the sickness,'exposure, and privations in cidental to a life in camp at this season. _ (Front'Special Correspondent of Morning Herald.) English Camp, Heights of Balaklava, Feb. 17. The movements of the enemy in the neighbourhood of this place still continue to be of the most contradic tory nature. During some days large numbers of Cos sacks show on the adjacent heights round the Turkish redoubts, and appear as if engaged in making lines and trenches, and then, perhaps, for the next 24 hours, not a soul is to be seen near the place. Strong additional defences have been thrown up on the heights to the right of our position, and the advanced battery covering the head of the harbour and sweeping the plain in all directions is being rendered still more formidable by a ne.v ditch and abbattis. The new three gun battery on the left of this is also completsd, and it is intended to con,truA another of eight guns on a very strong post between Balaklava and Kadekoi. With such defences, Balaklava, would rival Sebastopol in strrngth if its garrison were only increased in proportion ; but though guns have been aided tLere is a part of the lines, which of course I shall not specify, still very far from being efficieetly manned in regard to numbers. If this matter is much longer overlooked, our chances of hold ing the place may any day he seriously diminished by the sudden appearance of a strong Russial force which might succeed in a well-planned, determined attack like that of Inkerman. In saying this, I only repeat a common topic of conversation among all officers out here, who look with much anxiety upon the small and inadequate force placed to hold one most important position. General Bosquet, in speaking on this subject, is reported to have said that he would desire notl.ing better than that 10,000 or 15,000 Russians should oh taM a temporary possession of Balaklava, as not a man of them would ever return. This may undoubtedly be very true, but five minutes' possession of the place would suffice to burn every vessel we have in the har bour, and fir such an object, which would nearly ruin the whole exped' tion, Russia would certainly not think 10,000 or even 20,000 men, too large a price. In the course of six weeks more, die intense thick fogs which prevail here durin g April, May, and June, will have set in, and will naturally offer the enemy unusual facilities for attacking fortified positions, as in such an atmo sphere half the guns will be useltes. Last night oce of the marines fell over the brow of the tremendous cliffs near which they are encamped on the right with the Rifles and Zouaves. He fell a sheer descent of nearly 1,600 feet on to rocks below. Near this position is a steep and thickly-wooded valley, in which a large force of French are employed day and night in making fascines and gabions for the now bat teries, which it is intended to erect near Inkerman. About 2,000 gabions per day have been made here for the last fortnight, and a considerable number have also been made by a small party of Guardsmen, who are stationed at St. George's Monastery for that purpose. The French ouvriers at Balaklava are kept continually on the alert by the presence of many Cossacks, who occasionally dart in, firing their carbines amongst them. The battery occupied by the marines generally repays these attentions with interest, and on some occasions, when the horsemen have ventured too near, the armed parties covering the French have inflicted severe loss upon them. These little skirmishes go on continually, and the French perfectly delight in them. A number of ships' guns, mortars, and ordinary siege ordnance have recently been landed, with immense stores of ammunition, on the north side of the harbour. Some of these are intended for the defence of Balaklava itself, but the majority will go into the new works in pro cess of construction at Inkerman. One 13. inch mortar, 4 3-inch ditto, 10 long 18-pounders, 28 long 32-pounders, and 4 84-pounders, still are here; and I believe it is not intended that any attempt should be made to forward them to the front until sufficient of the tramway has been completed to take them over the heaviest parts of the road. In fact, we have not sufficient horses in good condition now to do more than forward some of the huts and keep the troops well supplied with rations. Parties of men are still employed in car rying up 33-pounder shot ; but the B.inch, 10-inch, and 13-inch shells are far too ponderous to be trans mitted in thin manner. A 13-inch shell, empty, weighs 1941 b., and a Winch I cwt. ; so that, except the 30 or 40 wich are taken up daily by the artillery waggons, the great mass must wait until the tram is completed, or at least partially so. Whenever that is done it can take up in one day sufficient shot and shell to supply all our batteries firing incessantly with ammunition for three days and nights. The progress which this tram is making is perfectly marvellous. It is now progressing at the rate of a quarter of a mile per day, including all the delays which arise from bridging small streams, levelling and filling up inequalities, &c. Half the men are employed in laying down the rails and sleepers during the day, and the remainder work all night in boxing up with earth and stones the spaces left between each sleeper. As an instance of the rapidity with which the work proceeds, a pie-driving machine was landed one evening, and car ried piecemeal up to where it was necessary to sink piles for a stout wooden bridge across a small but very muddy stream which runs into the harbour. T before he m a-. chine was erected early the following mo rnin g , and that evening the piles were all driven , the machine re moved,h the bridge finished, and the r ails space of 100 yards beyond. The course of f id I or ten days must see half the line c om p leted, aud, 39 far as it goes, in operation. E ven forwardin g the heav y laid down for week e t ek e guns and shells three miles will be, of course, an im mense assistance. There is not the least exaggeration in saying that if the e Captain Powell o is now t the Vesuvius. That active officer was gradually getting was since batdhleyd managed epartur e o b f efir3 ' the vessels into something like arm angement, and bad g it the masters to observe the rules which he laid down, itneworse harbour when he was suddenly ordered off to Constantinople, aud since then everything has gone wrong. The ships now lie any way they please, blocking-up the litt'e land ing-place, impeding traffic, and injuring themselves. No vessel could now get her anchors up, and haul out under a week's notice ; and if we had anything like a severe gale, all the smaller vessels would be crushed by the large steam-ships between which they are jammed. No thing can possibly be worse than our present arrange ments for the shipping. rumoured that both A.drairal Lc%- a and C a pt a i n _ _ " Vice-Admiral Dundas has no doubt brought the inde fatigable exertions of the Commandant of the Brigade, C.tptain Lushington, the chivalrous gallantry and zeal of Captain Peel, and the well-known merits of that talented officer, Captain Moorsom, under their lordships' favour able notice ; and I would beg leave to call their attenti, n to tho fact, that Commanders Burnett, of the Queen, an t i liillyar, of the Agamemnon, have been with •the Brigade during the whole period, upwards of three months, durin which time they may be said to have been continually limier fire. Commander B ,rlaso's meritorious conduct at the battle of inkerman has been specially reported to their lordships. Commander Lord Jchn Hay rejoins the bri gade, where his valuable services and inspiriting bearing aro highly appreciated. M a ny o f th e li eu t enan t s, mates, and widshipmen, as well as lieutenants of Royal Ma rine Artillery, and medical officers, have also been with the brigade from the first, but 'Captain Lush ington's remarks are so explicit that their lordships will have no difficulty in judging of the merits of every officer of each class • and I will only add th a t t h ose who have been wounded bear a high character in their pro fession, and that no set of officers ever deserved their Lordships' liberal consideration more than those who have served in the Royal Naval Brigade before Sebastopol. "E. LYONS, Rear-Admiral, Commander-in-Chief." (Extract.) " Admiralty, Jan. 29. " Sir,—With reference to your letter, No. 25. of the 12th inst., enclosing a list of the officers of the Royal Navy serving in the trenches, I am commanded by their Lord• ships to acquaint you that, in consequence of the gallantry and good conduct displayed by the officers so serving, my Lords are pleased to direct that the following promotion■ shall be made :—Three commanders to captains; nine lieutenants to commanders; 13 mates; six assistant• surgeons ; two clerks. " Camp, Naval Brigade, Feb. 12. It is with feelings of pride and pleasure that I commu nicate the accompanying copies of letters from Re Admiral Sir E. Lyons, Commander-in-Chief, and which announce the numerous promotions the Lords Commis sioners of the Admiralty have conferred on the officers of the Naval Brigade. I take this opportunity of thanking those officers for their gallantry and uutiriug energy in the execution of their duty, and I feel certain that, in con gratulating them (to use the words of the Commander-in- Chief) on their richly-deserved promotion, that their good fortune ;will be considered by the remaining officers and seamen as a proof of the deep interest taken in our con duct and success by our gallant Commander-in-Chief, and that it will excite them to increased exertion and zeal in her Majesty's service, with the certainty of meeting their due reward from the Lords Commissioners of the Ad miralty. " The senior officers are also requeited to take this opportunity of pointing out to the crews of their respec tive ships the deep interest taken in their welfare by the Commander-in-Chief, as well as by the Lords Commis sioners of the Admiralty, and also by ouPgraeions Sove reign Queen Victoria. " Her Majesty has conferred a medal on every sailor landed in the Crimea, and a clasp for such as were present en the sth of November, 1854, whose conduct shall have been good, and has in a like manner conferred a medal and clasps upon the nearest relative or representative of such as may havee "The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have granted extras to all petty officers and seamen of the bri gade, as well as a liberal supply of warm clothing gratis, as already communicated to them ; and the Comm an d er -i n - Chief has further notified that te services of the petty officers and seamen are duly appreciated by the Admiralty, and will meet with further reward. I consider this a fit ting opportunity of also pointing out to the brigade the deep sympathy felt for our privations and services by our fellow•countrymen and women, who have made private subsoriptions, and forwarded for the use of the Naval Brigade such warm clothing and other comforts as their means permitted.

It seems perfectly extraordinary that this was not thought of before, and even now the merit of the discovery is generally ascribed to the new engineer, Ge neral Jones. That this officer has expressed his total and most decided dissent from the manner in which our siege works hair() hitherto been conducted is no longer a secret ; indeed, the very terms and points on which he condemns the operations are spoken of everywhere. General Canrobert arrived at headquarters this morn ing, and had a long interview with Lord Raglan. A despatch from Eupatoria also reached the Commander in -Chief, stating that the Turks under Omar Paella at that place had repulsed an attempt of the enemy to storm the town. The real details of that event you will hear from your correspondent at Eupatoria, so it is sufficient to mention that the most extravagant ru mours prevail here as to the real nature of the success gained by our Mahomedan allies. According to the most modest account, the Russians were 60,000 strong, and were repulsed with a loss of 5,000 killed, :and with only 500 killed and wounded to the Turks. This, if true, would far surpass Inkerman, but I have no great faith in the first statements of things of this kind, more especially as the Turks are said to have captured all the enemy's guns and siege train. If the Russians had a siege train with them they would hardly attempt a coup de main, ; and even if they did, And failed in such an attack, it could nob, by any possibility, involve the loss of their ordnance, unless the Turks were enabled to take the field in pursuit of them, which, without an over powering force of cavalry, they could never do. It is said that General England intends resigning and returning to England. It is also generally stated and believed that the whole of the principal staff officers of the quartermaster-gene ral's, adjutant-general's, and commissariat departments have likewise sent in their resignations. A general order was issuedthis evening, positively for bidding either officers or men from entering Balaklava by crossing the plain from the rear of our camp lines. The reason for this order is, that so many of our private soldiers have taken advantage of their being in the neigh bourhood of the- Cossack pickets to desert into their limy, frequently taking with them their pack horses. The weather has continued remarkably fine, thy, and mild ; and the sanitary condition of the troops is im• proving much. The men are beginning to look more healthy, and their old spirit of reckless daring and long- . ing to get at the enemy has returned in its full force. FIAIRTJARY 19. All last night it blow a heavy gale from the north east, which must have dur.trwed the contour of som e o f the vessels crammed into Balaklava 6 most considerably. The wind, while it lasted, was cold and dry ; but to-day the weather is mild and warm, and the few trees and vines which remain around us are evidently making in creased preparations for budding forth. The real state of the case with regard to the attack on Eupatoria appears now to be better known. It was not the attack of an army 60,000 strong, which was re pulsed, but a strong reconnaisance, of some 8,000 or 10,000 men, which was being mad •, preparatory to the attack of a large force believed to be in the neighbour hood. The reconnoitring party were driven back prin cipally, it is said, by the fire of some well-directed rocket batteries, manned by the Turks, French, and English. The enemy lost a large number in killed and wounded, . and the Turks 40 killed and about 100 wounded. Salim Pacha, one of the ablest of the Turkish generals under Omer Pasha, is said to have received a mortal wound in this encounter, of which he died shortly afterwards. A. desperate attempt to carry the town by assault is expected to take place to-day, and accordingly yesterday evening some of the available steam-sloops and frigates were despatched by Admiral Lyons to assist in the de fence. It is not at all unlikely that when the Russian general sees Eupatoria so much further strenthened by these floating batteries, with which no amount of troops could ever cope, that the assault will be abandoned alto.- gether. It is said that in the course of another month, when I Omer Pasha has received the whole of his cavalry and artillery, the Turkish troops will take the field, and, leaving a garrison hi Eupatoria, proceed by the Alma and the Katcha to the north of Sebastopol. General Bosquet is to support this movement by cross ing the valley of Inkerman with 15,000 French and the English light division, so as to threaten and attack the rear of the enemy in case of their making any attempt to stand upon the heights over the rivers which the Turks must pass. This report may very likely be true in the main, espe cially as without such assistance the Turks would find great difficulty in storming the heights of Alma or Bal bek—but much will have to be done before the Allies will be able to carry out such a plan of operations. For instance, the enemy has been indefatigable in throwing up their batteries on the summits of the tremendous cliffs over the ruins of Inkerman en the north of the valley. A heavy battery has been erected almost in the face of the cliffs above the caverns, and another com manding that at the foot of the upper height. Both these works mount guns of very heavy calibre and long range, and all through the 17th the enemy fired from them incessantly, sometimes on the working parties going to the advanced batteries, and sometimes over the old Sand-bag Battei y towards the tents of the second division. Some of the latter shots fell within 30 or 40 feet of the line of tents. To-day they are employed in the same manner, and the result of this will be that beforeanother week has elapsed the few vulnerable points of their tre mendous position will bristle with guns and redoubts. Take it we must, as while it remains in possession of the enemy all our attempts to complete the investment of Sebastopol would be futile. The Russians undoubtedly deserve credit for their defence up to the present, but sooner or later the true history of the campaign will be known to the world, and it will then be seen that what now appears the result of extraordinary energy and warlike ability on their side has really consisted of nothing more than taking timely advantage of those glaring blunders which have been committed by the allied generals. All the hopes of the French army are now centred in General Pelissier and their new chief engineer. General Bosquet is also much admired, and spoken of by our allies as a thorough soldier. Since the visit of the Russian spy to our batteries such increased vigilance has been exercised that the ether day a new assistant surgeon, while proceeding into a battery where his party of sailors were stationed, was arrested there in spite of his protestations, and brought before the commanding officer of the naval brigade. The admirable condition of this brigade is something beyond all praise. Yesterday, out of 1,100 men, there were only 28 on the sick list. The tents of the blue jackets aro decidedly the neatest in the whole camp, well-trench e d outside,na d Many neatly paved with small flat stones within. our officers might take a lesson i n neatness and good order from the admirable mann er i n which Jack g mans es s a everything about his camp. N o wasting is allowed Cl in their tents, and all comi ng o ff d uty with dirtybootsl e eave them outside the tents in little boxes constructed for the purpose. Over one deep little ravine near this camp, which is very dirty, and which they have to cross frequently, they have constructed a "suspension bridge," wllicn for strength, neatness, and ingenuity far surpasses any invention I have yet seen at camp. The bridge is formed by three strong cables stretched across the ravine, and firmly secured at each side, and to these are lashed the staves of the beef and pork bserrels which the sailors have carefully collected for this purpose in Bala hlava. With these simple means they have made a light, strong, and even handsome bridge, which will be opened tomorrow with great state and ceremony. I am glad to say that the efforts of the officers connected with this brigade have at last been acknowledged, and all the seniors promoted by a special order from the Admiralty.
