Its perusal is airCcularly 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 brinciples of personal management which cannot be violated without ncurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed he heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties lay be mitigated, hew the sting of their bitterness may be removed, ,nd how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, (bat there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional d eran gement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. 'he Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive r actice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have niortimately boon too generally confided tc the care of ignorant emoirics, who inflict great injury on those wLo are induced to place faith in their pretensions. lIEBVOIIB DEBILITY may be he price 2s, of Maas.

Bishopagate Station, London, Jan. 3, 1856. TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE EASTBES COUNTIES RAILWAY. MT Loans, LADIES, AND GENTLEMEN, SINCE the issue of my AnsA er to the Report of the Commit. ee of Investigation I have received so large a number of letters from Proprietors of all classes. expressing their satisfaction with its contents, and-pressing og me the importance. at this juncture, of continuing to take an Rath si part In the manage ment of the Company. that .1-.rise-sanatuc tq,. 4 00 more than these pub licly return thanks to my various correatoledenta for the matinued confidence they repose in me. I have urged on the Noard, in justice to :he Shareholders, whose property is so depreciated by these mischievous contentious, and to myself, whose character has been impugned, at once to call a Spe cial General Meeting of the Company. It is also within my knowledge that other gentlemen, Impressed with similar view 4, have laid before the Board a legal requisition to the same effect. To this tribunal I invite the Committee of Investi gation now to appeal. By its decision l am ready to be bound ; but against any delay in calling it I protest. To prolong the present state of suspense and disorganisation is aline prejudicial to the effi ciency of your service, and detrimental to the best interests of all concerned in the prosperity of the Eastern Counties Railway. All I ask is, your earliest decision, believing that to you it is even more important than it is to myself. A Committee of Proprietors, enter ' taining these views, has been formed. In their hands I cheerfully leave all that relates to the personal course I ought to pursue, feel ing assured that suggestions will tend to promote the permanent interests of the Company. James Goodson. Esq., has undertaken, in the first instance, to receive all communications on the part of this Committee, and to hint I beg respe c tfully to refer all Share holders, at the Committee-room, 15, Old Jewfy, London.

The Irish Encumbered Estates Conamissioa is now in its seventh year of office, and it will not be uninterest ing to those who have watched the working of that re markable tribunal to give an example of the complete revolution it has effected, or rather is effecting, in the agricultural and social condition of Ireland. The coun ties of Galway and Mayo contain 2,800,000 acres of land, or about one-seventh of the area of the island. In 1850 the landed proprietary of these two counties were perhaps the most hopelessly involved in Ireland. The solvent exceptions were few, chiefly in the eastern portion where some estates were comparatively free from , and comfortably tenanted; . including the great lakes and d exhibited little more than the agriculture — the land untouched by capital, and even its natu ehwb niyhac primitiveih u el enl oa attn b eh r rde a ps n rreoi cesi of the oh w ueteenn e rf: far districts, u swrf tl unimproved vi u seet r t, d e s natu ral resources unnoted, except by the casual glance of tourists in search of the picturesque. Now, on every side are unmistakeable sig4s of improvement and pro gress. Many estates are being furnished with well-coa greeted farmsteads, drainage is becoming general, a styleoffa th rm an in d g ou is bled within the last five years. adopted, and the wages of high erlabo 636,000 a labour rare more a cres—'.e., about on e -fourth of the available superficies of t hose two counties, have already changed hands, producing a total su m o f upwards of 2,000,0001.,* and petitions for sale are still pouring in unceasingly. Th e number of proprietors over the extent sold has been increased fourfold, and about one-third are purchasers at and under 2,0001. ; these, with the English, Scotch, and Ulster farmers, settled on Clew bay, and in various other localities, contributing to form the nucleus of an independent middle class, the want of which has been hitherto so injOrious to the political and social interests of this country. About one-fifth of the whole number of purchasers -are from the other side of the Channel ; but though the Eng lish and Scotch have everywhere set a good example as farmers in occupation, they have not as, proprieters, generally speaking, managed their estates with as ranch prudence and profit es Irish purchasers. Thus the capital and skilled industry of our British neighbours have been drawn to that region furthest re moved in geographical position, as well as in industrial progress, from the seat of Government and superior civilisation. It is gratifying to state that the improve ment in our land market has enabled several of the ori ginal proprietors to preserve a portion of their ancient inheritances, and they still reside among a tenantry by whom they are beloved and respected. The mineral re sources and fisheries of the west have not kept pace with agricultural progress, nor has the vast water power of the great lakes been as yet appropriated for manufac turing purposes ; indeed little decided prqgress can be expected in these branches of industry until Connaught is permeated by a system of railway communication from south to north, and Galway linked with the manufactur ing province of Ulster. The Great Northern line will probably be soon com menced, and subsidiary branches will follow, thus com pleting those physical aids to development of natural resources which facility and cheapness of transport in variably confer. •£2,015,000 7s. 7d.

LOSS OF A DUTCH VBSSEL. Advicee from Singapore report the following particu lars of the less of the Dutch ship Menado, Dunlop. She left Calcutta on the 25th of September, forthatpla n c i ea t n h d e Hong Kong. Oct. 18, they passed the light-vessel evening, shaping a proper course by her, and the l ea d being kept constantly going; notwithstanding these pre caution', the vessel struck at half-past four next morn ing on the South Sands, a strong southerly current then running. Anchors were carried out and hove upon and every exertion made to get the vessel off, but fruitlessly, the current carrying her still further on the bank, where she bumped heavily and filled with water. At noon of the 19th, a barque was observed steering E.S.E., and signals of distress were made by firing guns, and hoist ing the colours, but no notice was taken of them. How ever, the Hamburg schooner Augusta Kaufmann, Wie land, came in sight during the afternoon, and as soon as the state of the Renado was observed steered directly for her. Arrangements were made with her that she should remain near the wreck and save as much of the cargo as possible, but the weather was so unfavour able that during the night nothing could be done, and about midnight a strong squall from the N.W. laid the Menade over on her port bulwarks, the hold being then full of water, and the sea breaking heavily over her. Next day the weather was more moderate, although the sea still broke heavily over the vessel, and ten chests of opium and some of the ship's stores were got out, but the rest of the cargo being un der water, and Capt. Wieland anxious to leave the bank before night, Capt. Dunlop and his crew were obliged to leave the wreck, and proceeded on board the A. Kauf man. which conveyed them to Malacca. The spot on which the Menado struck is within a short distance of that where the John Currey was so recently lost, and the same cause is supposed to 'Ave led to both disasters —namely—very strong currents. The wreck of the Menado, and the cargo remaining in the vessel, were sold on the 27th ult., for about $9,000. / ~ ~GG • _ Epirit of the Public J'attnalte, (From the Timcs of this day.) Among other compliments and gifts of the sea son, the Admiralty has presented the world with a most seasonable list of the ships and vessels that have been added to the fleet in the course of the past year, or are now building. The principt 1 feature in the list, as it appeared in our impression of yesterday, was a double column of fanciful names that might have passed for the dramatis persona' of a pantomime, or, at least, for the com petitors in a very numerous regatta, but for cer tain figures denoting their unfestive equipment of guns and horse-power. Headed by seven larger ships, this procession comprised 128 steam gun vessels, besides a score of steam-tugs, smithies, flour-mills, lighters, tank vessels, store vessels, surveying vessels, and other miscellaneous hangers on of a modern fleet. Wo must say that the aspect of the two columns, even in the pale and lifeless reflex of our Own page, without the pomp of salutes and mimic fight, struck us as far more promising, if not quite so imposintz, as the Portsmouth naval review. Terror is often inversely as the size. One of the very smallest animals of prey that infest the human species will spread more consternation in au ordinary household than an over-driven ox in the street, and the sight of a battering-ram itself would not produce such an effect in a criminal court as the unfolding of the little buudle contain ing a burglar's tools. The picklock, jemmy, an d circular saw, in the columns before us, are repre sented by 128 vessels, " fine by degrees and beau tifully less," till we come to a compact little score that, under such endearing diminutives as Ant, Daisy, Fidget, Flirt, Gnat, Midge, Pest, Pet, and Tiny, ought to find a way into the heart of any foe. These are the right things in the right place, and, so far, the Admiralty deserve the public thanks for a degree of common sense hardly to be expected in a public de partment. It would be invidious now to inquire why this has not been done before, and why we could not be as quick as the old Romans, who, having no ships of their own, happened to lay hold of a good Carthaginian model, ran up a whole fleet in three or four months, and beat their naval in structors. What we have now to hope for is that this swarm of small fry will be put into proper hands, and will afford opportunities for that daring and enterprise which almost every British lad car ries with him from school, and even from home— too often only to lose them in the messromn, on the quarterdeck, or in the Blab. Could we be sure that the hearts, heads, and hands to direct this multitudinous host will be as lightsome, as mis chievous, and as fond of fun as this vocabulary would indicate, then we should confidently expect corresponding results from the stings of these na val mosquitoes. It is here only that our hearts misgive us. After all, it is the man that does the work, and the men to drive terror into the Russian empire, to pene trate every creek, to do all that can be done with every battery and every fort, must be the like of the Nelsons and Troubridges in the late war ; not the reproduction of its Keiths and Calders. We did our part nobly in that war, and from first to last commanded the respect of enemies and allies, not so much by our military achievements as by our unparalleled naval success. Very early in it we utterly destroyed or blockaded all hostile fleets ; we made the sea our own, and confined the foe to an element on which he certainly did prodigies, but always with the tedium of a prison -house, the fret of a tether, and the gall of a chain. The Ti tan who fought against us was literally a son of earth, for off it he lost his power. The immense prestige we thus acquired redeemed all our early failures on laud, and gave us breath, so to speak, to recover our credit in that sphere also. Where is now that prestige? We were expected to do every thing, and there is a growing conviction that, in one sea at least, and with the most formidable of our fleets, we have done next to nothing. That fatal word " discretion," so often whispered into the ears that hardly wanted the warning, has been to the last the spell of the Baltic fleet. If on our own element we were the object of attack, if the work to be done was the preservation of our own ships awl. the restoration of our own armaments into store, then the day was won, and the praise of a thrifty housewife is not to be denied to a Napier or a Dundas. But that was not the idea of the British people. They were under the irapresion that whatever had been done with the army, at least no economy had starved down the navy. They had heard for many years of the new monsters of the deep continually launched on its surface, no longer dependent on the capricious favour of the winds or the mercy of the currents, and with armaments such. as Nelson had never dreamt of. They saw the mil lions voted every year for the perpetual renovation of our navy, and they felt that nothing was want ing on their part. They have now, however, seen two fleets in succession occupy the Baltic aid pro claim a blockade of the whole Russian coast. That blockade has cost this country not one farthing less than 20,000,000/. for the two years, which is as much a loss to this country as if it had been pro perty seized and burnt by the foe. What damage have we inflicted on Russia at all in proportion to the damage we have thus done ourselves ? The first reply, of course, is that the direct object of the blockade has been accomplished, and we have so far obstructed the trade of Russia. On this point there have been some rather remarkable revelations from the Prussian frontier, tending to the belief that the blockade has done no more harm to Russia than it has to ourselves, and that, in fact, we are ourselves the chief sufferers. In another part of our columns, however, will be found some observations on the effect of land carriage upon the Russian trade, which remove all doubt on this subject. They are from a report on the trade of Hull for the year 1855, published by a committee of the Hull Chamber of Commerce and Shipping. As the chief port for the Baltic, Mall has been the principal sufferer by the interruption of its trade, yet its business has not been so much limited as might have been anticipated. Of the chief imports from Russia, hemp, flax, tallow, and linseed have been able to bear the large additional charge for land carriage from Memel to Konigsberg—that charge, in effect, falling on the British purchaser, and going into the pockets of Prussian carriers and Russian land owners. Some exports, indeed, have been stopped, such as bides, wool, tar, and deals ; but the war has brought these into great request in Russia as well as here, and it is no loss to the Russian Government that they are kept at home. Our own manufactures find their way back as re turn freight, and at very low charges. Thus, while the blockade is doing no great damage to the Rus sians, it is doing most unquestionable damage to ourselves ; and the blockade, as such, appears to be of questionable service. What, then, has the fleet done to justify its enormous expense ? It is a question which neither Napier nor Dundas has answered satisfactorily yet ; and we still wait for a solution by some third commander who shall bet ter appreciate the value of the instrument placed in his hands. Unless something more be attempted the Czar will not even think it necessary to keep any considerable number of his forces in the north, and the fleet will not oven answer its purpose as a diversion or a feint. A real at tempt on Cronstadt, unfashionable and anti quated as the idea has become in naval circles, would at least lock up a quarter of a lion soldiers at the mouth of the Nova. Had Russia the warning of one port really destroyed, she would be compelled to keep them all ready for attack, and would, to that extent, be disalged fro= sending reinforcements to the seat of war in the sbeendon a e s ains a v a l useless demon stration for south. So far what a h nd a ridicul ous England awaits i n anx i ous suspense tmhileiataprpy p e ; auaranrEe se' othe Nelson whose mind will rise to the vastness alike of the work to be done and of the moans placed in his hands for doing it. Nel son had never such an armament ; Nelson never heard of steam ; yet who doubts that Nelson, with his lumbering old line-of-battle ships and his rude flotilla of gun-boats, , would have done more than we have done ?
