The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con s quences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, vhick have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man mod, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any 3ther class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is articularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded Inc health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled: It is absolutely necessary that all men should know, that there are ,irnacip • los of p ersonal management which cannot be violated w ith out incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties nay be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences maybe avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional ierangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

The able and cheerful co operation of the French throughout the day was beyond all praise.--I have, &c.,, (Signed) SHERARD OSBORN, Commander and Senior Officer. Rear-Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons, Bart., G.C.8., Commander-in-Chief. H.M.S. Vesuvius, Gulf of Azof, July 21. Sir,—The day I closed my last report to you, the Beagle, Lieutenant. Hewett, was detached to Berdiansk. Lieutenant Hewett rejoined me yesterday, and reports that one of the Russian sunken vessels was blown up. Lieutenant Hewett, the same evening, landed under cover of his vessel's guns, and destroyed an extensive collec tion of fish stores, and two large granaries full of corn. On the 17th of July, in consequence of information re ceived of extensive depots of corn and forage existing at a town called Glofira, upon the Asiatic coast, near Gheisk, I proceeded there with the squadron, accompanied by the French steamer s Mil a n an d Mouette. The Vesuvius and Swallow were obliged to anchor some distance off shore, I therefore sent Commander Rowley Lambert (her Ma jesty's ship Curlew), with the gun-boats named in the margin* to reconnoitre in force, and if an opportunity oc curred, to destroy any stores of provisions or of forage, he was to do so. Commander Lambert found Glofira and its neighbourhood swarming with cavalry ; the town an open straggling agricultural villtge, and no appearance of corn or forage in it; he therefore very properly confined his operations to destroyirrig, upon Glofira Spit, some very extensive corn and fish stores, but spared the town. The skill with which this service, was executed in the face of large bodies of cavalry, reflects no small credit upon Commander Lambert; and he speaks most highly of the able assistance rendered him by the French officers and men under Captains De Cintre and L'Allemand. From Glofira I next proceeded to the Crooked Spit, in the Gulf of .Asof, the French squadron parting company to harass the enemy in the neighbourhood of Kamisheva and Obitotchna. The squadron reached Crooked Spit the same day (July 18) ; and I immediately ordered Commander Frederick Craufurd, in the Swallow, supported by the gun-boats Grinder, Boxer, and Cracker, and the boats of her Majesty's ships Vesuvius, Curlew, and Fancy, under Lieutenants Gryll s , R ow l e y, an d Sulivan, to proceed and clear the spit of the cavalry and Cossacks of the enemy, and then land and destroy the groat fishing establishments situated upon it. Commander Cran ford executed this service with great vigour, and his report I have the honour to enclose. The extra ordinary quantity of nets and stores of fish, and the scale of the works destroyed fully confirm the statements made by the work people that their occupation consisted in sup plying food to the army in the Crimea, everything going to Simpheropol by the great northern road along the steppe. 'Whilst this service was being executed I recon noitred the mouth of the river Mious, fifteen miles west of Taganrog, in her Majesty' s s hip J a sper, Lieutenant J. S. Hudson. The shallow nature of the coast would not allow us to approach within a mile and three quarters of what in the chart is marked as Fort Temenos. The fortification was an earthwork of some extent and ditched but not pierced for guns. It was evidentiy of an old date, and as I could see no one within it, I again returned to the same place, accompanied by the boats of her Majesty's ships Vesuvius and Curlew, and her Majesty's gun-vessels, Cracker, Boxer, and Jasper. Cavalry in large bodies, armed for the most part with carbines or rifles, were evidently much harassed by riding upon supposed points of attack; and when we got to Fort Temonos, and the usual Cossack picquet had been driven off, I and Commander Lambert proceeded at once with the light boats into the river. When there, and imme diately under Fort Temonos, which stands upon a steep escarps of eighty feet, we found ourselves looked down upon by a large body of , both horse and foot, lining the ditch and parapet of the work. Landing on the opposite bank, at good rifle-shot distance, one boat's crew, under Lieutenant Rowley, was sent to destroy a collection of launches and a fishery, whilst a careful and steady fire of Minie rises kept the Russians from advancing upon us. Assuring ourselves of the non-existence of any object worth hazarding so small a force any farther, we returned to the vessels, passing within pistol shot of the Russian ambuscade. The cool steadiness of the officers and men in the gigs, together with the wonderful precision of the fire from the covering vessels, distant as they were, doubtless kept the enemy in check, and prevented serious consequences. To Commander Lam bert, Lieutenants Grylls and Rowley, and Mr. Tabu teau (Mate), who were in the gigs, as well as to Lieute nants Marryatt, Townshend, and Hudson, who commanded the gun-vessels my best thanks are due. The gig of the Grinder, under Lieutenant Hamilton, had a narrow escape upon the same day from a similar ambuscade, at a place called Kirpe, 10 miles east of Mari anpel, the very proper humanity of Lieutenant Hamilton in not firing into au open defenceless town as it appeared to him, having nigh entailed the loss of a boat's crew when attempting to land and destroy a corn store. A heavy fire of musketry at half pistol shot providentially injured no one, and Lieutenant Hamilton appears to have most skil fully escaped. The lUth July, I reconnoitred Taganrog in the Jasper gun-boat. A new battery was being constructed upon the heights near the hospital, but. although two shots were thrown into it, it did not reply. Every part of the town showed signs of the injuries it had received when we visited it under the late Capt. Ed mund Lyons, of the Miranda. The long series of Govern ment stores burnt by the Allied Flotilla had not been re paired, and - the only sign of any communication being now held, by water, with the Don, was one large barge upon the beach. To put a stop, however, to all traffic of this nature, and to harass tho enemy in this neighbourhood, I have ordered Commander Craufurd to remain in the Gulf of Azoff, with two gun-vessels under his orders. . . That the squadron has not been idle, I trust this report will show ; and without entering more into details than I have done, I can assure you, Sir, that from Ghenitch to Taganrog, and thence round to Kamiskeva, we have kept the coast in a state of constant alarm, and their troops incessantly moving. The good service done by the gun boats in this way has been very great. • The total amount of provisions, corn, fisheries, forage, and boats destroyed, has been something enormous. Nothing can exceed the zeal and activity of the officers, or good conduct of the men, constituting this squadron; and constant work does not, I am happy to say, appear as yet to impair their health.—l have, &c., (Signed) SHERARD OSBORN, Commander and Senior officer. Rear-Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons, Bart., G.C.8., &c. H.M.S. Swallow, off Crooked Spit, Sea of Azoff, July 15. Sir,—ln compliance with your orders, I proceeded in her Majesty's steam gun-boat Grinder, with Cracker and Boxer, and boats of the squadron to reconnoitre the Crooked Spit. Having cleared the Spit of some mounted troops who occupied it, I orderel a detachment of boats, with their respective officers, to land and destroy the immense fishing establishments and nets found upon the point of it. The country seemed swarming with cavalry, but, by the able management of the officers in command of the gun-boats, and by their good fire, they were effectually driven off the Spit some distance inland. Having reconnoitred as far into the land as we could see from the mast head of the Grinder, all the boats were or dered to laud and set fire to very large and extensive Go vernment stores upon the upper part of the Spit, includ ing large fishing establishments, an enormous quantity of nets, haystacks, and several large houses used as Govern ment stores. I learnt from a Russian fisherman that the fish caught on this spit and cured here was immediately forwarded to Simpheropol, for the use of the Crimean army; and I conclu•.le that a very severe blow has been in flicted on the enemy by the amount of property which was destroyed, including spars, timber, fish, nets, and boats; apparently the most extensive fishing establishments in the Sea of Azof ; and I am happyto say without a casualty. My thanks are• due to Lieutenant Hamilton, of Grinder, and Townsend, of Boxer, as also to Lieutenants Rowley, of Curlew ; Grylls, of Fancy ; Sullivan, of Vesuvius; Mr. Aldrich, Master of Swallow ; Mr. Deare, Gunner of Cur lew, and Mr. Windsor, Gunner of Swallow; who all and each by their zeal and activity rendered great service in destroying so large an accumulation of stores and houses in so short a space of time.—l have, &c., (Signed) FRED.

(From the London Gazette of Last MAO ADMIRALTY, AUG. 13. - - Despatches ' of which the following an cop i es , h ave been received from Rear-Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons, Bart., G.C.8., Commander-in-Chief o f her Majesty's ships and vessels in the Mediterranean and Black Sea. Royal Albert, off Sebastopol, July 30. Sat,— In continuation of the proceedings of the steam squadron in the Sea of Azof, under the orders of the Com mander Sherard Osborne, of the Vesuvius, I beg leave to enclose, for the inform a ti on o f th e L ords Commissioners of the Admiralty, copies of two letters from that officer, to gether with the several enclosures reporting the steps taken to deprive the enemy of the new harvest, and to cripple his resources of all kinds, since the proceedings which were communicated in my letter of the 7th inst. (No. 538). During the time the squ a d ron - was d e t a i ne d f rom s t ress of weath r , under Berutch Spit, near Ghenitch, the vessels were, at every break of the weather, employed in destroy ing extensive fishieg establishments which supplied the army in the Crimea with fish, as well as guard.-houses, barracks, stores of forage, and provisions on the Isthmus of Arabat, and the pontoon or only means of communica tion between Arabat Spit and the Crimea, at the entrance of the Kara-su River, was burnt by Commander Rowley Lambert of the Curlew. The attack and destruction of Fort Petrovskoi, on the 16st., by the combined English and French squadrons named in Commander Osborn's letter, appears to have been accomplished with th e usua l s kill an d success which has attended the operations in the Sea of Azof ; and their lordships will observe that particular mention is made of Lieutenant Hubert Champion, senior lieutenant of the Vesuvius, who commanded the landing party, and rendered great service. I would particularly beg leave to call their lordships' attention to the high-minded conduct of Captain De Ciutre, of his Imperial Majesty's steamer Milan, who, on seeing that the bulk of the squadron was under the orders of Commander Osborn, to whom he was senior, waived his right to plan the attack, and placed his ship, as well as the Mouette, in the positions pointed out by Commander Osborn. 'ln the meantime Lieutenant Hewett, in the Beagle, de stroyed an extensive collection of fish stores and two large granaries full of corn in the neighbourhood of Berdiansk. After destroying Fort Pe trovskoi, the squadron proceeded to Glofira, where some extensive corn and fish stores were destroyed by vessels under the orders of Commander Row ley Lambert, of the Curlew, and a similar service was per formed at the Crooked Spit, in the Gulf of Azof, by ves sels under the orders of Commander F. A. B. Craufurd, of the Swallow. In the meantime Commander Osborn, re• connoitered various parts of the coast as far as Taganrog. The reports of Commander Osborn are so comprehensive that I will only remark that the admirable manner in which he has carried out my instructions " to clear the sea board of all fish stores, all fisheries, and mills on a scale beyond the waits of the neighbouring population, and, indeed of all things destined to contribute to the mainten ance of the enemy's army in the Crimea," fully corrobo rates the opinion I have before expressed, that he is an officer possessing a rare combination of high qualities, and I beg to recommend him to their lordships' most favour able consideration.—l am, &c., fSigned) EDMUND LYONS. Rear-Admiral and Commander-in-Chief. Tho Secretary of the Admiralty, &c. &c. &c. Her Majesty's ship Vesuvius, Gulf of Azof, July 17, 1855. Sir,—Heavy gales and much sea obliged the squadron in this sea to take shelter under Berutch Spit for several days. Coaling, provisioning, and completing stores was, however, proceeded with, and at every break in the wea ther the vessels were actively employed destroying some extensive fisheries upon Berutch Spit, as well as guard-houses, barracks, and stores of forage and provisions,to within an easy gun-shot of Arabat Fort. The only pon toon or means of communication between Arabat Spit and the Crimea, at the entrance of the Kara-su River, has been burnt by Commander Rowley Lambert, H.M.S. Curlew, and we have now entire possession of the Spit.. A lull in the weather enabled me to put to sea upon the 13th July, for a sweep round the Sea of Azof ; the Ardent, Weser, and Clinker being left under the orders of Lieut. Horton to harass Genitch and Arabat, as well to cut off all communication along the Spit. Delayed by the weather, we did not reach Berdiansk until the 15th July ; a heavy sea was running, but anxious to lose no time, the senior officer of the French Squadron (Captain De Cintre, of the Milan) and myself determined to go at once and endeavour to burn the forage and corn stacks upon the landward side of the hills overlooking the town. No inhabitants were to be seen, but the occasional glimpse of soldiers showed that a landing was expected and that they were prepared for a street fight. I hoisted a flag of truce in order, if possible, to get the women and children removed from th e t own , but as that met with no reply and the surf rendered landing extremely hazardous, I hauled it down, and the squadron commenced to fire over the town at the forage and corn stacked behind it, and I soon had the satisfaction of seeing a fire break out exactly where it was wanted. The town is not touched except by an occasional shell. The wheat and forage being fired it became necessary to move into deeper water for the night, and from our distant anchorage the fires were seen burning throughout the night. On the 16th July the allied squadron proceeded to Fort Petrovski, between Berdiansk and Marianpol. As I ap proached the place there were evident symptoms of an in crease to the fortifications since the Vesuvius silenced its fire three weeks ago. A redan, covering the curtain which faces the sea, showed seven new embrasures, and much new earth led me to expect some masked works. Captain De Cintre, commanding the French steamer Milan, although my senior, in the most handsome manner surrendered the right of planning the attack, and, keeping alone in view the good of the allied cause, gallantly took up the position I wished him to do, followed by Captain De L'Allemand, in the Mouette. At 9.30 a.m., all arrangements being made, the squadron named in the margin* took up their positions. The light draught gun-boats taking up stations east and west of the fort, and enfilading the works in f ron t an d rear ; w hil s t the heavier vessels formed a semicircle round the front. The heavy nature of our ordnance crushed all attempts at resistance, and soon forced not only the garrison to retire from the trenches, but also kept at a respectable distance the reserve force, consisting of three strong battalions of infantry, and two squadrons of cavalry. We then commenced to fire with carcases, and although partially successful, I was obliged to send the light boats of the squadron to complete the destruction of the fort and batteries ; a duty I entrusted to Lieut. Hubert Campion, of the Vesuvius, assisted by the officers in the annexed list. In a short time I had the satisfaction of seeing all the cantonment, gun platforms, public buildings, corn and forage stores on fire, and the embrasures of the earthworks seriously injured ; and although the enemy from an earth work to the rear opened a sharp fire upon our men, Lieu tenant Campion completed this service in the most able and perfect manner, without the loss of one man. Lieutenant Campion reports that the fort was fully as formidable a one as it appeared from the ships; the plat forms were laid ready, but the g uns either had not yet arrived or had been withdrawn by the enemy. Leaving the Swallow, Commander Craufurd, to check any attempt of the enemy to re-occupy the fort and extinguish the fire until the destruction was complete, the rest of the squadron proceeded to destroy great quantities of forage and some most extensive fisheries, situated upon the White House Spit, and about the mouth of the River Berd a.

The Royal yacht, Captain the Hon. J. Denman, went out of the harbour this morning aid proceeded to Osborne Roads. The Malacca, 17, screw, Captain Farquhar, went out of harbour this morning, and anchored at Spithead, where she took in her powder and shell. The Rosamond, 6, paddle (guns disembarked), pro ceeded to Osborne this morning to receive on board the Queen's carriages, van, and equipments. Two schooners, draughted into the transport service by special order, and freighted with 13-inch shell, sailed yesterday from Woolwich for Southampton. Having passed Erith, one of them (the Elizabeth, of Hartlepool) sprang a leak, and was fast filling, when she was run ashore. The accident is supposed to have proceeded from the shells having been shot on board by means of a spout, that being a more ready method than the use of the crane. The Adder and Alyrtlo steamers, from Sheerness, arrived at Woolwich yesterday. APPOINTMENTS. Acting Mates—E. Kelly, to the Siren ; R. Roes, to the Orion ; W. F. A. Harris, to the Rosamond ; C.

It consisted of 53 men and 4 horses, under the command of Lieutenants Cutler and Coleman. At 6 a.m. on Tuesday the depot of the 22d Regiment (the Cheshire) left the Provisional Battalion at Chatham and proceeded to Bristol. They proceed to Plymouth to Join the regiment, which has recently returned from India. The depot consists of six sergeants and 146 rank and file, with three officers, Captain Young and Ensigns Ellis and Campbell. This addition to the regiment will raise the corps to 1,000 effective bayonets. The embarkation of above 200 men and officers of re giments will take place from the Custom-house-quay, Gravesend, at 10 a.m. to-day on board the ship Bien heim, 1,314 tons burden, Captain J. F. Atkinson, for Bengal. The troops will consist of 108, with 1 woman, of the Bth (King's Own Regiment), and 1 officer, Ensign Stebbings ; and 4S men and 2 women of the 35th Regi ment (Royal Sussex), with 2 officers, Lieutenant Skin ner and Lieutenant Pohle ; and 53 men and 2 women of the 81st Regiment (Royal Lincolnshire Volunteers), with 3 officers, Lieutenant J.

A party of 65 non-commissioned officers and privates of various regiments, invalids from the Crimea, in charge of Lieutenant Spaight, 31st Regiment (who is invalided home), arrived at the Strood station of the North Kent Railway yesterday from Portsmouth. Yesterday the 51st Regiment of Foot arrived at Liver pool from Manchester, and embarked on board the screw-steamers Emeu and Andes. They consisted of about 1,000 rank and file, and were under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Errington. About the same time between 300 and 400 troops, composed of draughts from the 31st, 48th, and 3d Buffs, arrived from Birmingham, and embarked on board the same steamers, which will take their departure for Malta direct to-day. BUITISH AND FRENCH FISHING VESSELS.—The num ber of fishing boats seized at Jersey under the provi sions of the convention with France since the Ist of January, 1852, amounted to 21. The total number of all British fishing vessels seized and taken into French ports since the let of January, 1852, amounted as fol lows :--viz., into Dunkirk, 8 ; Boulogne, 6 ; Havre, 55 ; Cherbourg, 12 ; and Granville, 40. The offences included fishing out of season, dredging oysters out of season, and fishing within French limits or on neutral ground. Sir G. B. Pechell moved for the return.

A wearied, and it must be said a. disappointed Parliament was yesterday prorogued with the dull formality of a. Royal Commission. Up to the very last moment the anxious Premier expected either from the North or the East the news that was to gild the closing session ; and, so long had hope been deferred, that it had yielded at last to mis givings. So utter was the blank, so little was there to show for the labours and the enormous sacrifices Of the Legislature, that when Sir De Lacy Evans arose to insist on - a more searching and unreserved application of our national resources to the prose cution of the war, her Majesty's Goirernment seemed to lie at his mercy for any rebuke he might choose to administer. But while he was speaking the telegraph was already at work, and, but for those national jealousies which impede even the electric fluid at , every capital and frontier, we should already have, learnt the utter destruction of the second Russian stronghold .in the Baltic. Sweaborg has been almost utterly destroyed. A few shattered .earthworks and batteries are all that survive of a mighty link in that chain of fortresses prepared for the conquest of Europe. It is impossible not to remark on the fatality which has permitted a zealous session to pass with out receiving the tidings already on their way. The Roman poet laid his hero under the spell,—At nun qualm regno, aut optatit lueefruatur, Bed eadat ante diem. That certainly has been the fate of this session ; but when Ministers and Commanders, : have toiled all their lives, and sunk heartbroken in the hour of reverse, though their cause was finally to prosper, Lord Palmerston has no great reason to complain. It is but an imaginary dis appointment. The papers that take the Queen's speech down to the country, and can report no more than her Majesty's confident hopes and un daunted resolution, will now convey the news of Sweaborg destroyed. We shall not be suspected of any idle or vindictive triumph at a blow which doubtless involves much human suffering. We re joice because we believe ourselves to be so much nearei security and peace. Whether Russia will admit Ithe moral argument of the defeat, or will await the successive destruction of all her strong holds, j this event brings us nearer the day when Europo will be relieved from the incubus of Rus sian dOmination. stadt 6borg cannot, indeed, be classed with Cron ar strength or Sebastopol for importance. Its de . ences are not of the nine character as those which + rotect the mouth of the Neva. The approach is by c annels of sufficient depth and width, but through granite rocks everywhere covered with batter4es. As to the value set by. the Russians on the pldce, on the one hand, it appears they took advantage of the winter to convey to Cronstadt the few vessels of war seen last year at Sweaborg ; and, on the other hand, they have employed the interval in strengthening to the utmost the fortifications which have just been 'so summarily destroyed llt wa said a few months ago that, having let sli the opportunity of last year, we should i find Siveaborg impregnable. It appears, however, that with a proper' disposition of the fleet, and by keeping a proper distance, we have disposed of this threat; and shown that wood can sometimes beat granite. Let us hope that when a boast has been proved idle in one place it may in another. Ac cording to the programme, the mortar-vessels and the gunboats were to commence the bombardment at two' miles' distance, and the liners were only to come in to finish the work. If this is the arrange ment which has been so signally successful, it augure well for the operation of the flotilla, pro mised by Sir Charles Wood, in the grander sphere of the Neva, or wherever else it is to be employed. From the scanty particulars that have reached us, it appears that the bombardment lasted about 45 hours, so that during the whole of that time the allied fleets remained in position more or less within gunshot distance of the Russian batteries ; yet our loss is said to be trifling in men, and nothing what ever in material, not a ship or boat sunk or dis abled. In so large an amount of damage inflicted on the enemy and so little suffered by the allies may be seen the result of that close calculation which will probably be our best game in this war. Doubtless more glory is to be won by dashing en terprises done with small means by one master mind ; but where the command is divided, the power immense, the risk great, and the defence in proportion, nothing should be risked, and nothing need be risked. Success is ours if we only have patience to use sure, though perhaps slow means. This! most welcome intelligence need not blind our eyes to the importance of the topics in Sir D. L. Evans's speech. Unquestionably the British force in the Crimea is not in proportion to our re sources or the work to be done. We have at this moment not far from a hundred thousand good British soldiers in various parts of the world where there is no immediate need for their present num bers. India ought to contribute something to the war in return for the 40,000 British soldiers with drawn from our wants at home, and some regi ments of irregular cavalry are precisely what we should most require in the case of an advance into the interior of the Crimea. At all events, the em ployment of that force at the Cape would liberate for the Crimea some of the seasoned British bat talions now thrown away in doing watchmen's duty against the Caffres. With a larger military force we might attempt more enterprises, such as those in the Sea of Azoff, and that whose trium phant result we have this day to communicate from the Gulf of Finland. The actual successes of this year have been of a chiefly naval character. That is quite in ac cordance with the earliest anticipations of the war, when it was assumed that the immense armies and impenetrable territories of Russia must give her the advantage on the land. Lat terly, however, the Fabian policy she has pursued of leaving the open sea, hiding her fleets deep in her harbours, and sinking them if necessary, to block up the ports made for their reception, has turned the attention of the world rather too - ex clusively to siege and other land operations. Hence fleets have fallen into discredit as a useless pageantry of war, and doubtless the want of craft better adapted for the purpose has favoured this impression. Yet it is from the sea that the greatest blows must be struck against Russia, and in this part of the work it will evidently be our honour to take the lead. As there was no military force worth notice engaged on the attack on Sweaborg, we conclude that the work has been done by the fleet, which contains a large preponderance of Bri tish vessels. If this happy intelligence has come just too late for the Royal speech and Lord Pal merston's valedictory address to the Commons, it is happily in time for the Queen's visit to Paris. Indeed, on the very day, and almost the very hour, that her Majesty is making the round of the Bou levards, the actual despatches brought by the Pe lican yesterday morning to Dantzic will probably be placed in the hands of the Parisian newspaper readers. We are sure that our gallant allies will feel the happy omen, and welcome with their usual chivalry the illustrious ]ady who, on the very first visit of peace ever paid by an English sovereign to Paris, comes also the bearer of the brilliant success that has crowned our united arms. WOMAN'S DEVOTION. A novel. 3 vole.—" A story cleverly conceived, and pointing an excellent moral, is worked out with exquisite taste in this singularly well written novel. Characters the most varied are intro duced into the plot, and greatly add to the general effect by the life-like naturalness with which they are pour trayed ; while, above them all, the heroine of the tale stands aloft in commanding virtue and loveliness, illus trating in her affectionate devotion the lesson which the writer has so happily adorned, that elevation of charac ter founded on a deep sense of religion rises superior to all the trials and calamities of life. Whoever the author may be, a wore felicitous debut never was made in the field of novel literature. —John Bull.

Among the acts which have just received the, Royal assent, the most important to the inhabitants of this metropolis is that which is designed to secure the advantage of effective local management. As this groat measure is to effect most important altera tions in the governing bodies throughout the me tropolis, and as those changes are to be made with the utmost promptitude, it is of the greatest im portance that there should be a clear perception of the new position in which it will place the London population and the particular parties whom it will specially affect. We believe it will be found that the Metropolis Local Management Act is but very little understood by that portion of her Ma jesty's subjects for whose benefit it has been passed, and that, with the exception of our most -wakeful parochial politicians, people have a further insight into the affairs of the Crimea than into the changes which aro about to be effected at their own doors. It is necessary, therefore, that no time should be lost in giving somewhat in detail a view of the be nefits which this measure is to confer, if its require ments are duly fulfilled. The sewerage, drainage, paving, cleansing, light ing, and general improvement of that vast group of cities, boroughs, liberties, and districts which pass under the name of London, are all subjects of great practical importance to the inhabitants, and have of late years been forced in a very painful manner on their attention. The rated householder has, with too much reason, complained of the number and weight of his payments in respect of these im portant items, while his annoyance has been in creased by the multiplicity of authorities and con flicting j urisdictions under which his habitation has been placed. These evils, of which we hope soon to speak as the former state of things, have assumed a much greater magnitude in the experience of all who have taken an active part in dealing with the pestilence with which we have been again and again visited, principally because of the legal hindrances to a proper state of sanitary defence. In allusion to this great subject Sir B. Hall recently said, "I was determined, on the merciful abatement of the epi demic that ravaged the metropolis, to turn myatten tion to the state of this vast city. I knew that, un less great and speedy radical changes in the consti tution of its local affairs were effected, it was ut terly hopeless to expect that those affairs would be well conducted." These " radical changes" are to be effected at once by taking the whole work of metropolitan management out of the numerous hands by which it has hitherto been held, in some cases by consent, and in others without it, and then placing all the right of doing that work in the people themselves, in accordance with a system which the act fully describes. The parochial vestries, the Metropolitan Com missioners of Sewers, the paving boards, the little local authorities almost innumerable who were accustomed to meet, and sip, and " blow their clouds," if not for the advantage, at least at the cost of their official domains, must eat their farewell dinners, break their wands, and exchange their offices for those 200 seats to which one of their num ber has just suggested that they may betake them selves, and which Sir B. Hall has, with an almost cruel consideration, provided for them (and others) in the parks. The Minister, who naturally con templates this result of his legislative ability with complacency, recently said to his constituents : " Let us look at the position in which the public will stand when this measure has received the Royal assent. We shall supersede irresponsible commissioners, we shall abolish elected boards, we shall do away with a great many of those officers, such as surveyors and col lectors, and others, almost countless in number at pre sent, who have lived on the taxes levied on the people. We shall give those municipal institutions to parishes which the metropolis has so long desired, without all the expense of mayors and common-councilmen." The mention of mayors and common-councilmen naturally suggests an inquiry as to the degree of in fluence which this sweeping measure is to have on the city—a question which it may be as well that we should answer before entering on our epitome. We need not say that Sir Benjamin Hall did not propose that Herculean labour which, by the assist ance of the City Commissioners and the vigour of Parliament, we may hope to see hereafter accom plished, but he did propose to put the city, for all the purposes of his measure, on a level with all the rest of Loudon ; and his object, of course after much civic combat, has been gained. The corpo ration of the city fought manfully for an undue amount of influence on the Central Board, the constitution and powers of which we have to de scribe ; and the City Commissioners of Sewers, with a selfish disregard to the efficient working of the great sewerage machinery, fought to be exempted from the operation of the bill, and died hard. It 'was contended that, if other sewer commissioners were to be annihilated, it did not follow that the city people should be absorbed ; but the argument happily did not tell on the House of Commons. It was proposed that the City Commissioners should not only carry out local drainage, as will be done by all the district boards, but that the main sewers should be also subject to their control. If this proposition had been carried, it is scarcely necessary to say that at the least great delay and unnecessary expense would have resulted, and, per haps, much perplexity and inefficiency. If the city had contemplated a main sewer in any direc tion, it would have been necessary to co-operate with the Metropolitan Board of Works, about to be formed, and obtain its consent. This consent could not have been given, unless the city plan had been well examined by its own surveyors and engineers. Much disagreement and professional jealousy would necessarily have arisen, creating delay and useless expense. It was properly said that if the engineers of the Central Board were competent to lay down plans for the sewerage of this vast metro polis they ought to be competent to undertake that of the small area on which the city of London stands. This common sense view of matters has been taken by the Legislature, and as the result a very large handful of feathers has been plucked from the civic bird. The act now coming int(ss operation may therefore be regarded as a contribu tion to the greater measure for which the metro polis has for the present to hope and wait. Those who are acquainted with local acts, whether metropolitan or provincial, will not fail to observe that several excellent local arrangements with which they are familiar aro incorporated in the measure under consideration. 'We refer to this fact, not as deducting in any degree from its merit, for it is an illustration of sound wisdom in matters of this kind to adopt those plans which have been found to work well rather than to invent new methods the merit or demerit of which cannot be known until they are tested by experience. It would increase the value of Legislative action of the electric principle were more freely worked where it is available, as there would obviously be less occasion for amendment and repeal, while a great amount of confusion and mischief would be avoided. It may be as well to add that the labours of the Registrar. General and the Census Commissioners have been laid under contribution to this m easure, and constitute, in fact, its basis.
