JVctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical society, :icon:late of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Zte., the essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful cmi ,-44 net:cos resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, Lich have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man • ecd, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any tiler 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 the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled; It is absolutely necessary that all men should know, that there are rineiples of personal management which cannot be violated without ,curring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed ..e heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties ay be mitigitted, hew the sting of their bitterness may be removed, ~e 1 how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, at there Is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional 'crangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a care. I,e Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive -.lle - nee in the treatment of these delicate compfaints, which have iortunatcly been too generally confided to the care of ignorant enilirics, who inflict groat Whirl on those who are induced to place faith in their pretensions.

Italy free, let him proclaim, Poland and Hungary the same. Free press, free speech, and senate free, And every kind of liberty, Of tongue, of pbn, of band and arm, But that of doing others harm. Should such a Chief his standard raise, Would not all Germany outblaze, All Germans round that ensign band, With rifle and with sword in band ? The Czar's vice-kaiser and vice-kings They would release from apron-strings ; And give, unpinn'd from female gowns, Them decent bats for shabby crowns.

A Despatch, of which the following is a copy, has been received from Rear-Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons, Bart., G.C.13., Commander-in-Chief of her Majesty's Ships and Vessels in the Mediterranean and Black Sea. EMBARKATION OF NAVAL BRIGADE. Royal Albert, off Sebastopol, Sept. 18. Sir,—l have the honour to enclose, for the informa tion of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, a printed copy of a General Order which has been issued to the Army on the re-embarkation of the Royal Naval Brigade.—l am, &c., ED.

The service for which the Naval Brigade was attached to this army having been completed by the fall of Sebastopol, the force has been ordered to rejoin the Fleet. The Commander of the Forces heartily thanks the Officers, Petty Officer; and Seamen, for the very effi cient services they have rendered in the batteries, and on all occasions when their aid against the enemy was required ; and he has to notice the patience and courage with which, side by side with the Soldiers of thi s Army, they have endured the dangers and hardships of nearly a year's duty in the trenches. General Simpson cordially acknowledges the obliga tions he is under to R. :ex.-Admiral Sir Stephen Lush ington, K.C.D., who so ably commanded the Brigade, from its formation until his removal by promotion to a higher rank, and to Captain Honourable H. Keppel, who succeeded him, and retained the command until the conclusion of this ever-memorable siege. By order. (Signed) H. W. BA.RNARD. Chief of the Staff. GENERAL DE LA MARMORA'S, DESPATCJI. The Sardinian Minister of War has received the following despatch relative to Sebastopol from the Commander•in-Chief of the Sardinian forces in the East : KADIKOI, Sept. 11.—By a telegraphic despatch of the 9th I informed your Excellency of the .strik- ing success obtained on the previous day by the Allies against Sebastopol. I now transmit to you the details which I have been able to collect, and the facts which came under my own observation. After a formidable bombardment, commenced in the morning of the sth, by all the batteries of at tack, and directed simultaneously against the Cen tral Bastion, the Flagstaff Battery, the Malakhoff Tower, and the Grand Redan, interrupted at in tervals, and then resumed with fresh energy, at the rate of 100 guns a minute, it was decided that the columns of attack should be directed in succession against the entrenchments of the enemy. (The despatch here goes into a description of the works and the mode of attack agreed upon, the whole of which have been given at great length in the re port of Marshal Pelissier, and then proceeds.) At noon, the Ist Division, under General M'Mahon; and the corps of General Bosquet, 'which had been suitably arranged in the extreme trenches, oppo site Malakhoff, left them ea masse, and rushed on the enemy's entrenchments, provided with scaling ladders, bridges, and everything necessary to cross the trenches. The head of the column in an in stant had crossed the first ditch, got behind the first line and the enclosure of the inner redoubt, and then rushed from the top of the parapets into the middle of the work, commencing a hand-tc hand struggle with the defenders, almost before the latter were aware of having been attacked. In less than 20 minutes the whole of the redoubt was car ried, notwithstanding the high traverses, which ren dered the defence of it easy ; and the flag of the 20th Regiment of the Line already floated in the centre. All the troops of the First Division followed into the redoubt after the head of the column, crossing the ditch under a fire of grape from the batteries which the Russians had erected to flank Malakohff. The casemated tower alone held out, defended by about 100 Russians, who had shut themselves up in it, and annoyed with their fire the French who were masters of the redoubt. The division of 1 General De La Motterouge simultaneously at tacked the curtain between Malakhoff and the Little Redan, took it, and maintained themselves inside the place, while the division of General Dulac, ad vancing in front against the Little Redan, was ex posed to a terrible fire, and could not advance be yond the ditch. In the Little Redan were collected a large body of Russian troops, supported by nume4 rous reserves massed in the rear. While things were thus going on on the right the French occu pied and kept the Malakhoff Redoubt, notwith standing the vigorous efforts made by large Rus sian masses, who, during several hours, returned in vain to e charge to retake it. They were at the same time maintaining a sanguinary struggle in the Little Redan, and the English troops at tacked the Great Redan. The English riflemen first quitted their trenches a few minutes after 12 o'clock, threw themselves across the ditch, and I o!dly gained the parapet, followed, by the 23d and 97th of the Light Division and by other regiments. These troops having penetrated into the work began a struggle hand to hand. They gained pos session of the work and held it for some time, in spite of the desperate efforts of the enemy to drive them back. By reason, however, of the difficulty of supporting them by more imposing forces, the courage of these brave soldiers could not stand against so many attacks from overwhelming num bers. The English, after remaining masters of the Great Redan for more than an hour, were compelled to abandon it, after suffering a heavy loss both in officers and soldiers. Malakhoff being taken, or ders were given about one o'clock to the Ist corps of General de Galles to commence the attack on ithe left. The troops of this corps destined for the assault had been ready in position in the extreme trenches ; the division I..eva* . iilant opposite the Central Bastion ; the Brigade Cialdini opposite the .Ylag-staff BAtery ; and the division d'Autemarre in reserve. The wind from the north raised such a cloud of dust, and the smoke was so dense, that for a long time the transmission of signals was im [ possible. It, was only at two o'clock that the cap ture of ivialakhoff was confirmed, and that it was known that the signal of attack against the Cen tral Bastion had been. given. General de Salles immediately ordered forward ,the division Levail lant. The first brigade, under General Trochu, was directed against, the salient of the work, and the brigade of General Couston against the lu nette to the right. In an instant the heads of these two columns -had crossed • the ditch and climbed the slopes of the parapet, exposed for some minutes to a shower of hand grenades, which the Russians threw from the top of the pa rapet, and to the fire of musketry from the pas sages leading to the ditch. General de Salles was accompanied by Major Govone, Capt. Prole., and Lieutenants Galli and Balbo ; the three first were slightly wounded. To the cry of 'Vivo l'Empereurr raised by Gen. de Salles and repeated by the troops, the heads of the columns threw themselves reso lutely into the interior of the work, driving back the Russians'at the point of the bayonet. Thereat of the two columns, the 42d and 46th Regiment =, and the 9th battalion of Chassenrs followed and kept up a sanguinarystruggle with the enemy. These troops maintained their pound for a quarter of an hour in the inside of the Central Bastion, and then meet"- ing with fresh obstacles and fresh columns threat ening them on • their flank, a movement of hesita tion manifested itself. The firtnnessiof Generals de Salles, Rivet, Leboauf, and Dulesine, and the other officers in immediate command of the troops, re stored confidence. The troops, again rushed for ward. They rc-entered the work in spite of a tre mendous fire of grape, which ploughed up the ground in every direction. A Beiasian batkary..of L.1 . 5 - gtins was-spiked by the French artilleryiiihn in , side the Central Bastion, and if the ground had offered. more facilities for the movement of the re serves and reinforceinents, these troops would, per haps, have been able to maintain themselves in the conquered bastion.- Being, however, much inferior in number to the enemy, and decimated by the ter rible fire of grape which the Russians kept pouring against the front and the flank of the columns, these troops were compelled after three hours to return to their trenches. They had, in this short spaceof time, lost Gen. Rivet, the chief of the staff of the Ist corps General Breton, both killed, and Generals Trochu and Coustod, wounded on the enemy's parapet at the head of their troops, and a great number of superior and other officers. The French batteries then re-opened their fire against the Russian works, but about half-past four the fire had ceased on all the left attack. The late hour would not allow the assault to be renewed with fresh troops. The order for the attack of the Flagstaff Bastion,. which had been confided to a brigade of our troops under General Cialdini, was then withdrawn, as it had become impossible. I avail myself of this opportunity to point out to your Excellency the confidence with which the royal troops awaited the order of attack. The taking of the Makakhoff, which was the essential object of the General-in- Chief, was obtained, and produced the most corn plete result. The Russians employed the whole night in preparing the destruction of the town and their retreat by the bridge which they had lately erected, (The report concludes with an account of the firing of the town and the blowing up of the forts, full details of which have already appeared in the despatches of Marshal Pelissier, and followed by a list' of five Sardinian officers wounded in the trenches on the Bth, and four soldiers killed and 31 wounded.)

From a private soldier in t he second battalion of the Rifle Brigade : "You have, I know, he: in 1 of the fall of the south side of Sebastopol lone bet', try j you receive this, which 1 am very glad to tell you is • th re this time ; and I know that you will be glad to he ir that this poor child has got off se luckily as he has !.

We had the order to fall i e about half-past 9, and marched down to the trench, t , where we lay until about 12 o'clock, when we had t: ae order to come to the front.

Our regiment mar el ied up to the advance trench, and directly after the .order came for our men to go over the parapet, although . there were two .regiments that ought to have gone be ft .re us. - Our colonel then mounted the parapet, and .a 7ied out, 'Now my bop,' wa'ing his sword over his he a 1.

As soon as we had the word to retire, I felt myself slipping down (f )1! where we ware was like a steep batik). I looked into , the ditch, and that was filled with red soldiers, with their bayonets fixed ; but I happened to see a place left , -vacant. I jumped down, and was no sooner down the n had a dozen or two over me—the bank had give, e way, and down they came nn the top of me. I made sum lo that I never should get out alive, but still I tried ; Si it I was so crushed that I had no strength left in me, sc., I lay quiet. After about five minutes I fat a shift, an,LI got My right arm loose, for I was wedged in by a poor:: fellow that fell on his head, and I believe broke his neck... I then managed to get free from my load, and serambled. - n p the bank which I roiled down, and there I lay a minu• to or two to get breath. I then got up and ran about 10 p -ices; then I got a clout on the 'nut,' which sent me spin nil ig, but I got up again, and ran on till I got in the trenc b. I forgot 'to tell you that while I lay in the ditch the Iv let t's rifles kept falling down, and the'bayonets sticking in to the poor fellows as they lay. I had one that caught one in the ear, and gave me a bit of a nick, but it was co 213 r a scratch. Wo lost 1 elptain and 1 officer and 3 sergeants ; 3 officers and 3 sergeants wounded, and ab out 200 privates killed and wounded. Believe me it was a fearful day. I never wish for such another. "Half-past 8 o'clock at Ni ght.—l have just come back from Sebastopol. I went do , A Ti with a great coat for a man on duty. The town i.3ip ablaze.

The Caine day the Russians fled away to the north sido, where wo could not reach them ; but there were but very few of them, for they have lost thousands. What few ships we left the Russians sank. We had saved them fur prizes, but they took us in, and I think we took them in, for their stores were full of articles, hut wo were not allowed to touch them. I have got a few arti cles, and I will have something more yet, I hope. My cousin Charles escaped the battle as well as myself, and he is doing well—likewise cousin Snow Dilks ; And I hope the next letter I write to you will be news that I am coming to Old England, the place that I thought I should never see any more, but I have a little hope of it now, as we cannot do more at Sebastopol. I think the Emperor Alexander must give up, for he is crip plefl now, if ever he was. I hope I shall have my Christ mas dinner with you at Christmas. lam so pleased that I cannot write ; so no more at present from your affec tionate son, "W. SNOW, the Young Conqueror." BRUTAL ASSAULTS ON WOMEN. (From the Derbyshire Courier.) For several years we have thought it our duty to urge upon the public, and through their influence and that of the public press, upon. Parliament, the necessity of checking, by greatly increased severity of punishment, the increased and increasing amount of atrocious bru talities perpetrated by certain miscreants of the lowest orders (the term is quite appropriate) on women. For a considerable time few public writers rendered auy assistance in the attempt to obtain redress for the weakest and most defenceless members of the commu nity. We felt perfectly certain that redress must come. But out of regard to the character of our countrymen, and from a wish to diminish the amount of aggravated human suffering, we urged on Parliament immediate attention to this subject. Lord Palmerston, much to his discredit, insisted on " waiting a little longer , " till a few more wretched women had b een b ea t en , kicked, and knocked into eternity. It was, indeed, according to his Lordship's view, a grave consideration whether the women-beaters and women-kickers should be degraded by the infliction of corporal punishment. This grievance was therefore left to the usual course of grievances in England—viz. to increase and expand till it became intolerable. That period appears now to have arrived, and Parlia ment and Lord Palmerston—now that "the Times has written a strong article on the subject "—will perhaps condescend to notice the disgraceful state of the law under which brutalities which render the name of Englishman a byword and a hissing throughout the civilised world, are daily perpetrated in London and our large towns, and daily reported and sent to every quarter of the globe. Why did not the Times express the opinions which they have expressed in an article which we give in another column two years ago ? Because it is notorious that the Times does not aspire to lead the public forward in the cause of justice and humanity, but comes boldly forward to advocate the right when the right has become the popular feeling. however, better late than never, and so we are ready to give the Times all the credit, and more than all the credit it deserves, for its advocacy of the cause of the hapless victims of these brutal assault cases. The punishment of six months' imprisonment is, says the Times " a signal failure." The brutality of numbers of the working classes to women and children is a "blot upon our age." " Something," says the Englishman's oracle, after keeping silence through years of this state of " horrid barbarity"—" Something must be done." That something is, we hear ail Englishmen say, who now discuss the subject in public and private, to flog men for half-murdering their wives, and hang them when they go a little too far, and murder them outright. The poor should also have the same facilities as the rich in obtaining divorces. " Unmarried women," says the Times, "are just as frequently the subjects of attacks as married women." True, but the law does not bind the unmarried woman for life to a brutal wretch. A man cannot legally break into the house of the unmarried mother of his children, and deprive her and them of the fruits of their industry whenever he wants means of his own self-indulgence. At all events an unmarried woman can leave her brutal persecutor whenever she pleases — the married woman with a brutal husband is a hopeless slave for life, and her tyrant knows it. This state of things being a disgrace to our country, a disgrace to the national character, and a disgrace to Parliament, let us hope that for very shame, no higher or better feeli ng , th ese aw ful brutalities will if we have be, as far as human laws avail, prevented. HoNoun TO THE PROFESSION OF MEDICINE.—The Kind of Belgium has just created eighteen of the mo t t distinguished physicians in his kingdom Knights of the Order of Leopold, PRINCL tFREDEI?ICIr OF PRUSSIA AND THE PRINOESS ROYAL. (From the Times of this clay.) After the , first outbreak of the great revolutionary war Press' a contrived for many years to keep herself free from ei itangling alliances, and, by a vacillating and discreditabl but, up to a certain point, successful p o li c y, to preserve to her subje c ts the blessings of a dishonour able peace 1 mg after the rest of Europe was weakened and desolat, id by wa r . B u t a ll thi s caution and turn ming availe I not. The wheel of destiny revolved, and Prussia coil! dno longer avoid confronting those dangers , which she 1 tad so meanly and pusillanimously avoided. The great r lilita,ry Power of Germany—the school of heroes, the Oysium of tacticians, whose reviews were visited from every part of Europe by all the students of high militar r art—fell prost ra t e a t a s i ng l e bl ow, lik e a giant withoi et a heart, on the field of Jena, and cur fenciered. wig 1 in 15 days all her etrong places into the heeds of ti2e s conqueror. But we doubt if even this disastrous rt 3 erse, and all the unspeakable humiliation that succeod ey i if, so effectually lowered the character and prestiol , of the Prussian monarcky as the course adopted by• the degenerate successor of Frederick the Great eAs ring the last three years. His con duct has is °claimed to the world that the Royal family of I •ussia regards itself as the mere leader of the van of I ti tssian aggression, —satraps nominally inde pendent, be, a use it suits the purposes of their master that they sh y 1/(1 be so, hut really speaking the language and doing tL e will of a foreign and hostile Power. The effeet of this ; has been twofold; it has completely de graded Prin s 'a froth the rank of a first-rate Power, making her pi •esence in the councils of &mine a users fraud, whirl y under. the semblance of eqiiality, really gives two vo :e s out of five to Russia. The secend effe(t is, unless we 1 , e much mistaken, to establish a wide and impassable 1 m each betwen. the Court and people of Prussia. E% re ry feeling of the nation—its patriotism, its independence s, its Spartan courage, its highly developed intelligence— -4 las been hurt and lacerated to the very quick by the t disgraceful spectacle of the last few years. The namess, if the itoyal.,lly. are associated in tbu -minds of the people'vritili-Wilettbna'orforiii4iiltirtjedz tion, national degradation, and the systematic sacrifice of Prussian in tereets to Russian influence. The nation neither ioves :aor fears its King, and views in bin and his family th, a representation of that which it both fears and bates. We make 0 lege remarks, not with a view of exciting any ill feeling between this country and Prussia, but because they enappen to have an immediate bearing on a very delicate and interesting subject. On the very day on which we announced the capture of Sebastopel it also transpired 1.1 are Prince Frederick William of Prussia had arrived at 'auroral for the purpose of "improving his acquaintance with the Princess Royal." It is under stood, so far ese a matter of this kind can be understood, that in the year ISSI, when her Royal Highness had attained the mature age of ten years, a kind of prelimi nary underst ending was entered into that she was one day to becon ks the bride of this young Prince, the heir presumptive to tie Prussian Crown ; and now that the Princess has attained the age of fifteen years it may he supposed tha t the negotiation is about to advance an rther stage. It is the misfortune of Royalty that these. domestic tram !sections, which iu private life are concealed under so much : reserve, must inevitably bo treated as matters of ptzi dic concern, involving as they do not merely the hs,pr. VIM or misery of two young people, but questions of policy and alliance most important to the future destise v of empires and of kingdoms. Is it, then, or is it not expedient, that a daughter of England s'sould take :her place upon the throne of Prussia; and, iu forwar ding such a match, are the parties princi pally concerns el consulting the happiness of the young Princess, or th.e safety, honour, and welfare of our So vereign and hi it dominions ? We lay no stress on the fact of the raj lid and visible decay of Prussian power and influence tierce 1851 ; nor, following the precedents of former times, should we regard it as any substantial objection if Kin ; g Frederick William should succeed in placing what war once a great Power on a level with the petty kingdo ms of Saxony, Bavaria, or Wurtern berg. It has ne , ser been the policy of England to seek the alliance of firs t-rate States ; and whenever she has . deviated from that poli c y s h e h as seen reason to repent it. In one as nse, however, an alliance with Prussia may be conside red as a step towards an alliance with Russia. The 'two Royal families are inextricably en twined in the Inds of relationship, of sympathy, and of mutual interest ; and it needs little argument to prove that the present is, at any rate, an ill-chosen time for bringinl e us into contact with the Court of St. Petersburk a or raising a suspicion of its in fluence over any p ortion of the Royal family of Deg- land. In humblireee Russia we are not only redriting a barbarous and egg essive power, but plucking up from the very depths of the ocean that mighty anchor upon which all the anti-popular dynasties of Europe hops to ride out the storm of public indignation and contempt. Why should we place a daughter of England in a situa kion in which .deesotion to her husband must be treason to L'er country—v shy distract her mind between wishes for tine welfare of • the family which she has left aed that into which sh eis to be received ? Nor is this all. Who is there that does not see that the days of these paltry German dynas ties are numbered, and that it is as im possible for thi te' survive the downfall of Russian in fluence as for the branches to outlive the trunk that gives them sap and nutriment ? Upon what, indeed, do they rest wilen deprived of these alien and exotic in fluences? From their subjects they have withheld the liberty they pr•ernised, and made its loss only the more keenly felt by at ldiag foreign degradation to internal servitude. They await but the first blast that shakes the forest to fall, prostrate, bearing down with them in their ruin the lea ser plants that have sought shelter un der their shade. The banishment of the Royal.family seems an indispa usable step in the course of freedom. It has been reo in England, in France, and in Spain ; how long may it be until it is so in Prussia also ? Suppose this m. erriage to take place, who can tell how soon we may see e`he Princess whose betrothal to a mem ber of the house ai c Hohenzollern is now being hurried on with such ill-oneened haste return to these shores, etript of the pomp anti dignity with which she departed from them, to find as an estele and a fugitive in the home of her ancestors that asylum which already receives with in its arms so many of tbegreest ones of the earth ? Or, far worse, why may it not be Ore fate of this Prussian Prince, as of so many others of Royal and noble lineage, to enter the Russian service, and to pass those years which flattering anticipation now destines to a crown in ignominious attendance as a General officer on the levee of his Imperial Master, having lost even the privilege of his birth, which is conceded to no German in Russia ? Why link the fortunes of a daughter of England with all this uncertainty—all this danger ? Why embark anew on the troubled sea of internal German politics, from which the devolution of lianover to the male branch has so happily relieved us ? Surely, the same considerations which would render it most imprudent for a private citizen of assured position and easy fortune to unite his daughter to a man engaged in hazardous speculations ought to apply with tenfold force to an union with the bankrupt dynas ties that yet for a little while encumber the central thrones of Central Europe. What is his Prussian Ma jesty to us, or we to him ? We never seem to agree to do the same thing at the same time. When in 1850 he armed against Austria we were anxious for peace , ; now we are involved in war, he in protocols. What synipatby can exist between a Court supported like ours on the solid basis of popular freedom and national respect, and a camarilla just engaged in the interests of a foreign patron in trampling out the last embers of popular go vernment which a revolution, resisted with perfidy, yielded to with cowardice, and quelled with insolence, had left behind it ? For our part, we wish for the daughters of our Royal house some better fate than union with a dynasty which knows neither what is due to its own dignity, to the rights of the people over which it presides, nor to the place it occupies in the great Euro pean confederacy ; and we regard it as a poor sequel to the efforts which have broken the strength of Russia that we should ally ourselves with Princes who are only too happy to be ranked among her pensioners and sup porters. The people of England, at all events, have no wish to improve their acquaintance with any Prince of the house of liohenzollern. THE PERILS OF A DIVER. A.

In this ease the time limited expired on the 20th inst., and Green, the celebrated submarin e diver, reached here on the 21sti in the canal schooner Yorktown, Captain Patterson, on his way to the wreck, 25 miles distant. They retu rned yesterday ; and bein obtained well acquainted with Capta in Pattejson following account from him : AboutbeilnOg o r ' e c a V d c y k , Green descended oon the by means 0 2 f 4 a th, lin a e l , l (says Captain y which, having a grapple on the end, bad become fast to something below. He wa s dressed with three pair of flannel drawers, three shirts, also flannel ; three pair of woollen pants, three coats, and three pair of woollen stockinEs, surm ounted by his submarine armour ; on his feet ho had a pair of stogy shoes, with a lead sole half or five eighths of an inch thick, and a belt of SOlb. of shot around his body, to sink hi m ( an d t h e b r e astp l ate o f t h e arm our cannot weigh less than 501b5,) Taking hold of the line he descended, finding it perfectly light, so that he could see all around him to the depth of 60 feet, when it grew dark, and for the remainder of his fearful journey amid the caverns of the deep he was guided solely by the line until at the depth of 140 feet, when he struck bot tom, or something which he soon made out to be the wheelhouse of the ill-fated boat ; groping along, be slid on the hurricane deck, from thence to the guards oft' e boat ; by poking nrouati he discovered the precise posi tion of the boat, and found himself not far from the sought-for offices, and made fast the end of a line which he had carried down with him to a stauncheon near the gAngway, and giving the Ogee' he AO eencicd, carrying .

His excitement was intense at his success- - thns far, and when he descended the second time he was quite hot (the day nas intensely hot). Descending by 11 Li second line he was-soon on the deck; feeling his way along he soon reached the 4 third' window, which being unbroken be shattered it, and reaching in his baud at last laid it upon the muchcaveted safe, just in the position in which it had been described -to aim. Not being able to reach far enough to make this lino fast, he again ascended for a hock to hook : through the handles ; reaching the deck he made known his success b,nd require:. ment,. and as no hook was ready, sat down until one could be secured to a line. As they were about ready he rolled over, saying he was Flick. They - stripped him and did all in their power for him, but were finally oLliged to buoy the lines, and make 011 sail for Vlis plaec fo.• medical attendance. They reached here at called, who a n d t wo p h ys i c i ans were immediately who expressed their opinion that he could not live; however, they laboured faithfully with him, and at night pronounced him better and this morning, al though not out of danger, it is ;bought he will live, and is in a very fair way for a speedy recovery.' Ho says if his life is spared he will be the owner of the chest . . He will no doubt be more cautious in future how he maker a dive when ho is warm, and on a full stomach. His first exclamation on his second ascension was, ' I touched the gold.' " MONEY MARKET. It was mentioned last Thursday that the amount of gold originally arranged by the Bank of France to be obtained from this country was 1,600,0001., and that the greater part was believed to have been already sent, Later despatches, however, from well-informed quarters indicate that even this extraordinary statement was far below the truth. The sum originally obtained. is now Fail' to lave been between 2,500,0001. aed .1,000,000/., and subsequently an additional total of 1,000,0001. has been purchased, the remittance of which is completed, or ncarly so. Should this prove correct, it will suffi ciently account for the movements lately witnessed in the money-market, and which have excited perplexity in the mind of every one acquainted with the natural course of the trading relations of the country. Toe eit tire transaction is said to have been going on for more than six weeks, during which the rate of exchange has reached a point which with a slight further alteration would cause gold to flow from Paris to this side. That. 410,9,paratio — o,4as befnquirely artigcini is evidenced by 'ft*TaZt that; if`this country had been indebted to France to the extent in question, the gold would have pone hence as a matter of couroe, and the Bank of. France need not have troubled themselves to offer A price for it beyond its natural value. In whatever way the payment fur the supply may thus far have been effected, it must coneequtntly have been in great, part of an ()pally artificial character. The money houses of Paris usually keep considerable quantities of Bank of England notes and short bills on Lon don in their portfolios, but, even if the market has tem: perarily been cleared of these for the purpose, the ex , planation would seem very inadequate for an amount of such magnitude. Indeed the merchants and bankers of Paris seem to be contemplating a reaction as inevitable, and rumour; have been circulated in the Presse and other newspapers of metho is which are to be devised to meet it. Atuong other things a decree has been talked of to render it not compulsory for the Bank of France to pay in gold, hut they are not at present under such compulsion. They are at liberty to pay in silver, if they prefer to return to that course, and, as gold has now risen to a premium at Paris, they would probably do so but fcr the insv , equacy of their stock of that metal. Moreover, if they contemplated refusing gold, or even suspending specie payments altogether, it is little likely that they would use great and exceptional efforts to obtain gold, since the very object of the measure would he to dispense with the neie3sity for it. An increase of the capital of the Bank to double its present amount is another of the plans suggested, but it is impossible to say with what authority. The prevalence of these re ports, at all events, denotes that the position of the institution is not considered to be such as could occur in the ordinary course of sound management, and as some of them arc of a character that might lead to great mischief, by occasioning a rush for coin, it is to be hoped they will soon be dissipated, and that the first step towards this consummation will consist in the ex pected advance of the rate of discount to 5 per cent. on Thursday next. • Messrs. Tripp and Co., in their monthly circu lar on the money market, say:— "The fall of Sebastopol, the continuous exportation of gold, the increased demand for money, and the raising of the rates of interest by the Bank, first to 4 per cent., then to 41, and lastly to 5 per cent., are events of them selves sufficient to account for the more than usual per turbations which characterise the transactions of the stock and share and money markets of the past month. The raising of the rates of interest is justified by the fact, that singe July the bullion in the Bank has de creased 5,000,0001., and ''the bills under discount have increased at the same ratio. But because the rate of in terest now charged by the Bank is 5 per cent., or that the bullion has decreased 5,000,0001., are either, or to gether, sufficient to cause the marked decline of price within the last few days in Consols and the other .o vernment Securities, we do not for one moment adiffit. When the rate of interest was previously at 5 per cent., Consols were and at the corresponding period last year, what the bullien,ts sittwn in the Bank returns, 105,5201. less than now, Consols were 951. In compar ing the prices of this year with those of last, practical men know that last year the market was oversold fully 0,000,0001., whereas this year there has been a steady supply of Consols of 1,00,0001. per month, commenc ing with May; and as this supply does not end until 18th December next, but has latterly been increased by the guaranteed Turkish Loan at the rate of 1,000,000/. per month, there is not a question that the supply of stock is now much greater than the demand, and as last year prices were artificially high, from the oversold state of the market, they are now suffering depression front an over-abundant k , upply. In 1847, when the loan of 8,009,000/. was contracted at 89. ; on Oct. 15, the day of payment of the last instalment, Consols were oily 81, and on October 19, had fallen to 79, but these prices were the result, not only of a supply of stock, but of a panic-stricken money market ; the gold and bullion in the Bank were only 7,000,0001., the notes and coin in reserve were less than 3 millions, and the bills under discount exceeded 21,000,0001. There fore, we contend there is nothing in the present Bank returns which should excite more than ordinary pru dence, though the continuous supply of stock up to De cember next will doubtless depress prices. The great discrepancy between the prices of Consols and the Turkish 4 per Cents., guaranteed by England and. France, and the dividends payable at the Bank of Eng land, requires notice. If Turkish 4 per Cent. Stock is at 101, Consols should be 754 ; or, conversely, if Consols are 88, Turkish 4 per Cents. should be 1171. 6s. Bd. Allowing 5 per cent. in favour of Consols, inconsequence of the more popular character of the security, still the discrepancy can only be explained by the fact, that capi talists have no spare capital to purchase Turks, and that the present holders are too weak to support their mar ket—another illustration of the effect on prices which an excessive supply of stock produces. The exchange of Consols into Turkish 4 per Cents. at present prices would, under any circumstance, be attended with profit. Turkish 6 per Cents. guarartteed by the Egyptian tribute, after reaching 95,1, fell rapidly to 81, in conse quence of large amounts of stock suddenly thrown on themarket by parties unable to hold. This stock, to be in proportion with Peruvian 4i per Cents. at 76, should be 101. Railways, considering the general unsatisfac tory last half-yearly accounts, have only declined in pro portion to their deserts. Good dividend mines, and two or three of the favourite progressing mines, have been in rapidly demand and have improv e d i n p r i ce . Joint stock ckba are in less request. C a n a d a L an d Shares rose to 1801., but have since receded to 1501. to 185/. 'Pea THE CZAR PETER'S WAY OF NEGN TIATING PEACE. ( Front Bancks' "Life of .Peter , Czar of M uscovy :. Printed in 1740.) When M. Osterman returned to Aland, in the month it was less..to_n:gtVatetlian to menace the sefvyleidpell,for his Czarist.

(He mace a, descent o n S we d en.) The account published at P e tersburg, by order of the Czar, "to eternise" the m emory of the work of these plenipotentiaries, is as follows :—Admiral Apraxin, for his part, had burned or destroyed 6 good. towns, 11 castles or palaces of brick, 109 of wood, belonging to noblemen, 826 villages and hamlets, 3 mills, 10 magazines, 2 mines of copper, and 5 mines of iron. Major-General Lesly, on his part, had reduced to ashes 2 towns, 21 castles or noblemen's houses, 535 villages and hamlets, 40 mills, 16 magazines, and 9 mines of iron (for one of which the Swedea hail offered 300,000 rix dollar to save it from ruin). They destroyed also the corn and forage, and killed all the cattle and horses that they could not carry off with them. They put on board their vessels all the iron they were able, and the rest, to the number of 80,000 bars, they threw into the sea. The design of the Czar, in all those burnings and de vastations, was (-ays his eulogist) to bring the Court of Sweden to accept of such conditions as he was williniz to impose upon it. To which purpose, he sent Couu sellor Osterman thither, charged with a commission to make the hardest propositions. And he, pgreeably t o the Aland project of peace, demanded nothingless than the absolute cession of Esthonia, legria, and C are ij a, comprising the towns of Bawl. wybourg, Narva, and liecksho!in, and the cession for f ort y years of Livoni a . diabolicalPeretdtohinegGresoaf that crafty t, soon comp e ll e d bar barian,Thcsecoamodmootnher called ly the Crown of Sweden t o submit to be robbed of a large part of its dominions, so that ho soon came into posses sion of extensive s hores on th e eastern side of tho Baltic - and of w he e r for sp iseehdily took advanta ge o f i t to build many ships future conquests. ^7 , a::1 FORGERIEF. — Letters from Ticino complain of the prevalence of forgery in that canton.

The following extract of a letter from the officer of the Highland Brigade who first entered the Redan ou the night it was evacuated by the Rus sians will be read with interest. Until he and his party explored it the Allies wore not aware that the Russians had retired : "I will give you a short detail of how matters went on the Bth inst. The Highland Division, consisting of four regiments—namely, the 42d, 721, 79th, and 93d= marched from our present camp at Kauiara about 8 a.m. on the Bth inst., arriving at our old encampment about 10, when we put off our knapsacks and feather bonnets, rolled our great coats in trench order, like a dragoon's cloak, to throw over the shoulder like a sash. This done, we marched off to the trenches, where we arrived about 12 o'clock, just in time to hear the first of the bombardment. We marched in, under a heavy fire .of shot and 01011, to the trenches at the 21-gun battery, where we remained in reserve for about an hour. We were then moved up to No. 8 battery, whore we were kept under a sharp fire till between five and six o'clock in the evening, when we marched forward to the advance to relieve the troops who were stationed there for the day, and such of those as remained of the storming party, who, I presume, were few in number, as our loss was very great in officers, non-commissioned officers, and men, particularly the first two classes. We have been very fortunate, as we have only lost two men killed on the spot, and seven more severely wounded. When we went .to the front trench we bad nothing to dol a s there was little firing from the time the Russians drove the Second Division out of the Redan until we went up. I may mention that the French took the Malathoff about one o'clock, and when the Russian troops escaped from the Malakhoff they retired into the Redan, over powering our people, who had to leave the place, t!te Russians killing every one they could, and catiing the others to leave, being unable to hold it. Miles receained in this position till about 11 o'clock at night, when they begat blowing up some magazines and forts behind the Redan, in the suburbs of the town. I sto?d looking while they sent two or three batteries in the air, until I felt cold arid very uncomfortable. By way of giving myself a heat and some amusement, I wa lked along the advanced trench until I came to a new work lately erected. Being curious to know what was doing in our front, I marched up this trench for the first time. I had not gone over 20 yards when I stumbled in the dark over three or four dead men, through whom I made my way as I best could, till I was called to by a man of the 19th, who asked me who I was. When I made answer, he requested me to have him removed, as he said he had only a broken arm. I answered that I would do what Iconic' for him. Wehad not done talking when I was called to by about 10 or 12 men at once to get them assistance, as they could not get any one to pay any attention to their requests. When I passed along the trench to the far end I heard a poor fellow say, "Here's a kilty officer, he will get us taken out of this." Listening to such remarks as "Take us out of this for the love of God, a s th ere is nothing the matter with us but broken legs send broken arras, and we will pray for you while we live," I passed on, promising to attend to them as soon as I returned. I then left the trench, and wont on to the plain open field between the Red an an d our t renc hes, where our poor soldiers were lying as thick as you see the men on boardship when they used to lie on the deck. I examined the way to the Redan until I was satisfied that I could make my way into it. I then faced about, and directed my steps to the general in command of the trenches, to whom I reported the state of the wounded. He ordered the two regiments in front to have them re moved ; and I was turning to leave the general of the trenches (Cameron), when I met Sir Colin Campbell, the General of the Highland Division, to whom I made known the miseries of the wounded men of the divisions that attacked ; I also made mention of what I thought of the renowned Redan, and my inspection of the way up to it, asking permission to go up an d examine it pro perly. The leave was granted, with an order to take 10 men with me, if I could get 10 to volunteer for the service. I proceeded to where the light company of the 93d were, when I made offer of such a proposal as vo lunteers for the Redan for the purpose of going into it to inspect it, and I am proud to say I had my party made up iu about a minute, with as many more if I would take them. I dressed them to my own taste, so as to get close up to the barrier and ditch before we could be noticed. This done, we marched off; many doubting if ever any of us would return, as a whole di vision and a brigade were repulsed in the same place during the day. When we passed along the advanced trench on to the open, we lay down for a little to see if all was quiet. We then moved on in company with a party of the 72d, for whom I had to go back a second time before I could find them to go OD. When a ll got to the open, we started to our feet, and soon made our way into the ditch ; but, to our horror, when we came to the bottom, we found our own poor fellows in heaps above one another. We sprang across to the other side of the ditch, over wounded, dying, and dead,. scrambling 11 up the parapet like as many cats. I went e an open ing where there was a 68-pounder gun pointing out. I ran to examine about the gun, traverses, pits dug by them for concealing their men fromour shot, shell &c., and this done I examined the interior of the Rodeo, where there was nothing but horrid confusion—R es . sians and British mixed altogether, with here and there a British soldier grasping the Russian by the breast cf the coat, with the hold still firm in his hand, but stretched dead on the ground. When I satisfied myself that there were none in the Redan but wounded and dying men, I gave the word to my party to retire, who, obeyed like soldiers. We then let ourselves down the 15 feet of a bank that we came up before, and were soon in the ditch and on to the plain, when I gave over the party to the other officer who accompanied me, and made my way back to Sir Col], whom I found in the advanced trench, and to wham I reported what bad taken place. He shook me by the hand, and thanked me for the service performed. I then went to the rear and reported my safe arrival to Li- ~t - .~.-b 30 5 25 70 lg. 14 t. 15 the WAIL, 1. ►e. E.
