'Cho essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con se lances resulting from certain habits, irregularities. and excesses, w aids have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man he and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any of :er class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is P rticularly 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 et atled It is absolutely necessary that all men should know, that there are rinciples of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of Inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties ° , a,' be mitigated, hew the sting of their bitterness may be removed, Ind how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, that there la scarcely any degree of physical. infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive Practice in the treatment in those delicate eomplaints, which have Unfortunately been too generally confided tc the oare of ignore:a einoirics, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in their pretensions.

[Pismiz 4D. STAMPED .fD• MEETING OP TICKET-OF-LEAVE MEN. A meeting of tick - et-of-leave men, convened by Mr. H. Mayhew, the anther of " London Labour and the London Poor," was held at the National Hall, Holborn, last evening, with the view of affording to persons of this class who are anxious to lead a reformed life an op portunity of stating the difficulties they have to encoun ter in their endeavours to obtain an honest livelihood. About 50 members of the body responded to Mr. May hew's invitation. The men were admitted on piasent in, their tickets-of•leave, and were required on entra nce to fill up the columns of a register, setting forth their ape, their occupations, the offences for which they were last convicted, their sentences, and the amount of in struction they had - severally received. From the infor mation thus collected it appears that only three out: of the 50 present were above the age of 40, the large ma• jority ranging between 18 and 35, the highest age of all being 63 ; that they consisted of labourers, hawkers, costermongers, blacksmithe, shoemakers, carpenters, and other handicraftsmen : that their previous punishments varied from two years' to 14 years' transportation ; and that more than one half of them had been educated either at day-schools or Sunday schools. Suspecting that the men would be unwilling to attend if the police presented themselves at the ball or at its entrance, Mr. Mayhew took the precaution to apply beforehand to the Metro• politan Commissioners on the subject. The authorities at once acceded to the request thus made to them, and not a solitary constable was permitted to overawe the meeting. Mr. MATEESW opened the proceedings by exp'aining at some le• g',ll the object for which he had called them to gether. He was anxious, he said, that the public should be made bitter acquainted than it was with the condi- Mr. Mi'szew closed the proceedings by informing th men that he would tnieavour to form a committee of philanthropic gentlemen with the view of establishing a society and raising a fund for their encouragement. At the same time he impressed on them the necessity o their exerting themselves in their own behalf, and show ing to the world by their good behaviour that the effort made by others to serve them would not be wholly thrown away. This singular meeting, which was of the most orderly character, then quietly dispersed. THE LITERARY FUND. The annual annual general meeting of the members of this society took place at their moms, 72, Great Russell. street, yesterday. Much interest was excited in the pro. ceedings in =sequence of the previous circulation of the following intimation amongst the members : " London, March 1, 1856. " We, the undersigned, beg to acquaint you that it is our intention, at the annual general meeting of the Lite rary Fund, to be held at the rooms of that society on Wednesday, the 12th inst., at two o'clock, to propose and support the resolution of which we now forward you a copy. You may perhaps he aware that at the last general meeting a similar resolution was proposed, and was left in a minority of four. "Resolved,—That whereas doting the 11 years from 1844 to 1854, boar inclusive, the cost of as-fisting 477 applicants to the Literary Fund amounted to 5,6011. 13e. 7d. (exclusive of collector's poundage, advertise ment% and expenses attending the anniversary dinner) ; and whereas the cost of assisting 624 applicants to the Artists' General Benevolent Fund within the same 11 years amounted to 994/. 4s. 10d. (also exclusive of col lector's poundage, advertisements, and expenses attend. ing the anniversary dinner), this meeting is of opinion that the expenses of managing the Literary Fund are unreasonable, and that a great change must be made in the administration of its affairs.—We hare the honour to be, your obedient servants, " CHARLES DICKENS. " NEIL ARNOTT. W. B. PROCTOR. PETER CUNNINGHAM. JOHN FORSTER. HEPWORTH DIXON. C. W. DILKE. D. T. ANSTED, WHITWELL ELWYN. C. W. PA iLEY. MARK LEMON. C. WENTWORTH D/LEE." Mr. B. B. Cabbell, M.M., presided, and there were also present Mr. C. Dickens, the Rev. Dr. Wh ewe ll, Master of Trinity College. Cambridge, the Rev. Dr. Croly, Mr. Albert Smith, Mr. Mark Lemon, the Rev. Thomas Hartwell Borne, Mr. Oliveira, M.P., Mr. John Forster, Dr. Forbes Winslow, Mr. Charles Baldwin, Mr. C. W. Dilke, Mr. Tooke, Mr. Webster, Q.C., Mr. R. Bell, the Rev., W. Cureton, the Rev. J. H. Gurney, Mr. M. Milnes, M P., Mr. Twining, M. J. Ivatt Briscoe, Mr. Bentley, Mr. Webster, of the Adelphi, Dr. A. Guest, Mr. Thornton, &c. The treasurer's report having been received, Mr. DILKE said that be intended moving the same resolution substantially that he proposed last year, when he and the party with whom he acted appeared to le in a minority ; but that result was brought about by the gentlemen whose conduct was impugned, namely, the committee, voting in their own favour. He trusted the committee would not vote on this occasion. After going through the society's statistics, he moved the resolution above-mentioned. Mr. Psocron (Barry Cornwall) seconded the motion. Mr. R. BELL thought the committee ought not to lee disfranchised. They bad subscribed 1,3001. to the funds of the society, and should not be called upon to refrain from voting, even if their services were not taken into consideration. It would be a strange thing if, when in Parliament, a motion were subinirted inculpating the Government, the members of the Government were not allowed to vote. Some statements had been made in re ference to the manner in which the fund had been die tributed, and a comparison had been instituted between the manner in which this fund was administered, and the manner in which the committee of the Artists' Be nevolent Fund disposed of their resources. It should be remembered that artists formed a inure compact body than literery men composed, and that consequently re lief could be administered to that body at much less coot than it could be to the latter. Mr. Bell cited many of the London societies for the purpose of showing, by comparison, that their expenses for management were far higher than those of the Literary Fund. He showed also that the salary of the secretary had been from time to time increased by general meetings, and presents made to him in consequence of his extraordinary eiertions in behalf of the society. He was of opinion that if these who dis approved of the proceedings of the society objected to giving 201. a-year to the secretary, or paying 140/. a-year for a house, it was but fair that they should put their views in the form of specific resolutions. Mr. DICKENS said it might be assumed from the speech of Mr. Bell that the committee co.isidered they had not spent sufficient money, and were now about to awake to the great reform of how they could spend snore. The members were told last yea: that this was a model sort of concern, and that only about 40/. out of every 1001. were spent in carrying on its machinery. He objected altogether to the manner in which the affairs of the society were conducted. Last year he went to Willis's Rooms, to attend a special meeting of the ' society, and, with tks exception of the younger of the fairer sex, it wag very much like Altuack'e in the morn. ins. (Laughter.) A noide marquis walked through a minuet with very great decorum, and was succeeded by a lord, then by the son of a lord, then by a bishop— after that the minor Church rose, and the bar, and other t ro !elisions were afterwards represented. He did not like that system of toadyism. (Hear, hear.) At the het meeting, towards the small hours, a distinguished lite rary man, who occupied the chair, said he felt something like a servant in plrseh who was left to sweep the stage when there were no more distinguished people to come on. (Laughter.) The house in Bloomsbury-square, and the stsnding secretary, were a species of the same sorb of show. He said this openly and plainly, because this fend wrs pompously and unnaturally administered, whereas it ought to be modestly and quietly adminis tered at a small expense. The members of the Literary Fund had now been told for the second time during the last twelve months that the charges upon the society wore unreasonable, and it. was now for them to say whether or not they would act upon the matter. At present the fund seemed to rely upon its annual dinner arid upon toadying once a year to a number of persons of distinction. tion and the aspirations of ticket-of leave men. He bad himself frosted and tried many of them in various ways, and had never been wronged one farthing by them, and he wished society to feel as strongly persuaded as he was that there was a latent spark of good left in every one of them, however degraded, which only required developing to raise them to the position which all must desire to see them fill. Having described the nature of the ticket-of-leave system, and eulogied its introduction, Mr. Meyhew proceeded to contend that it had worked most successfully, inasmuch as statistical returns proved that only 5? .: per cent. of the total number of tickets of lease crewed between Septeml.er, 1353, and December 31, 1355, (gamely 4,612) hal been followed by relapses on the part of their recipients into their former courses ; whereas the average proportion of recommittals within the United Kingdom was 33 per cent. of the entire num ber of prisoners tried. Various obstacles, however, in terposed to check the benefits that must otherwise flow from the recent change. Among these were the roving and unsettled habits of the men, W hich indigented them for steady, monotonous employment. To do anything effectual for their nermauent amelioration society must as far as possible work in consonance with their nature, and not in npp )mith nto it. In this respect tradine af forded a good outlet for their industry, requiring as it did no certificate of character from those who em barked in it, and all that they war t"rl was a little stock-money to start wit'. The formation of a society which should advise and help them in the work of self elevation was most desirable, and the establishment of street ira-kets conducted under proper regulations to gether wi'h lodgMg-house and other adjuncts would ale, be of essential service towards the same end. After some other remarks Mr. Mayhew invited several of the men to 'veers(' the platform, and express their opinions as to the beet mode in which their class might be eosieted. The first to answer this summons was a young man of neat and comparatively respectable a , peeranee, who seemed to he known to the rest by the nerne of "Peter." With great fluency and remarkable propriety of expres sion he proceeded to narrate his own past career. Having, be sail, been transported for seven years, he was sent to Milbank Prins, where he was put to the tailoring business. Being find of books, he was enabled while there to improve his previous education, and even began to " tackle " algebra. After the lapse of 14 months he went to Port•mouth, where he was employed in wheeling barrows from morning to night. During the whole of his confinement his perpetual source of anxiety was what was to become of him when he should he liberated. He applied for counsel and encouraee meat to the chaplain, but that gentleman refused to do anything for him unless he became a communicent, a thing which he was obliged conscientiously to decline. He succeeded better with the second clergyman of the prison, who was a man of mo-e liberal ideas than his predecessor; and he frequently expn seed to him his fears that no other resource was open to him, on regain ing his liberty, but to return to London, where he had been first transported from, and that, being a marked man and known to the police, and baying no character to offer as a security to any employer, he would never find work, but must go back to thieving to save him self from starvation. (Applause.) When released he had 61. 12s. in his pocket, and when he got to Southampton the officer of the penal esteblishment, in whose company ho woe, kindly offered him a drop of brandy. He took a little, which, as he had not tasted spirits for 4 years before, immediately got into his head, so that with the help of a glass or two more afterwards he became quite intoxicated, and spent all his money the same night, and not only so, but he got looked up into the bargain. (Laughter.) At least, if ho net spend it all himself somebody else assisted him to spend it. (Laughter.) 'Arriving in Loudon without a farthing. and without tfriend in the world,with no prospect of employment, and ' with no one, if he wanted a meal, to say, "Here it is for you," what was a man to do I Before he could bring himself to thieve he walked the streets in a vain search for work for three months, until be were out two pair of shoes, and grew emaciated from having nothing better to eat than a bit of bread and a herring. In this despe rate state of things he mat with his old associates, and for a period of 2 months he did vet y well as far as money went, for he made 51. or 61. a-week. This, however, was earned by practices which he sincerely disliked; but then, if the public would not allow him to make 1/. by bonester means, what was a men to do 1 This course, as might have been expected, anon led to his apprehe :sion, an I lie was sentenced to another 12 months' imprisonment, which expired only last M. nday. Htariog that this meeting was to be held, he had eagerly attended it, in the hope that it would result in some permanent bene fit to hint and those like him, who were struggling, amid the greatest difficulties and s gereA nersecutiop, to become honest members of society. (Hear, hear.) Knocked about by the police on •vrry side, sine coldly received by the public, he was at OW moment in a condition in which he did not knew where to g't his next meal without stearin); it ; 'out 'f the encouragement held out to his oppressed class by the benevolent gentle men who hal come for war.] that evening in their behalf was only realised, from that time forward he was deter mined not again to put his hand to a ray dishonest action. (Cheers,) The next [sleeker was a costermonger, of about 25 yesre of age and rather diminutive stature, who said that, having bean left an orphan when only 10 year; old, he took to selling oraugas about the streets to get a living ; but after spending a year so in that way he fell into the society of a few Westminster boys, wish whom be went a-thieving, until he got seven years' transporta tion at Ns nate. Three years and seven months of his sentence were passed at the Isle of Wight, and 11 months more at Portsmouth. He was pressed to take the Sacra merit while in orison, but not lilting to play the hypocrite he refused. When released he returned to London and traded for twoor three weeks in bareskine and r sbbitskine. While gassing through Tothill-street, Westminster, one day, two policemen came up to him and wanted to search his sack, which was full of skins, because they said be was a ticket-of-leave man, and suspected that he had something not come honestly by. Rather than allow them to look into his sack ho went to the police court in their custody, and insisted on seeing the magistrate. Before he could say a word to his worship about the treatment he had received, the inspector spokefirst, called him a " ticket-of-leave," and stated that he had been very , violent and saucy. Instead of listening, under such cir cumstances, to what he had to say for himself, the magis trate also burst out, " Oh, you are an insolent fellow and a disgrace to society—if the Secretary of State knew of your doings he would banish you ;" and, as his worship also muttered something about sending him to " quod " for contempt of Court, he thought it best to " hook it." (Laughter.) Having learnt something of shoemaking while at the Isle of Wight, although not enough to en able him to get a living, he next tried to get work in that line at Northampton, but, having no tools, be failed. He then went on to Derby in a state bordering on starvation, and he obtained an interview with a ma gistrate in that town, whom he asked to assist him in getting back to London. This gentleman would scarcely believe his tale and thought him a returned convict. Another person at Derby, of whom he had before this begged alms, gave him is. At length be reached Lon don in a most miserable state, and by the help of his cousin he got into the market again. He then did better, and last Christmas 12 months he got married. His trade had been very low for the last six weeks, and he just managed to "crack a crust;" but please God he would never go back again to thieving. (Cheers.) He was not much of a talker ; and therefore he would only add that he hoped the kind gentlemen who had taken up their cause would continue to exert themselves until something satisfactory was done to give fair pl a y t o th e ill-used ticket-of-leave men. (Applause.) A stonemason next addressed the assemblage, bearing similar testimony to the hardships endured by his class. He was not, however, so ill off as those who preceded him, as since his liberation he had obtained employment at his trade, and was now earning a comfortable liveli hood. At the same time, he had been anxious to be present to show his sympathy for the body of men to wham he belonged, many individual members of which he knew to be at this moment ground down by . the heaviest distress. An elderly man, who described himself as a dock labourer, next recited his tale of misery. He had been, he said, convicted of robbery at the Old Bailey, and sen tenced to 14 years' transportation, although entirely in nocent. He had been sent to Milbank, toWoolwich, and to Gibraltar, and at the latter place was subjected to the harshest treatment. Flogging went on there from before daylight till late at night. 2 1 . 10 F. out o f the sum of 41. 14s. 6d. allowed him en leaving Gibral tar was stopoed to pay his passage heme. He had worked for 15 or 16 months at the docks, but he was now out of work, and Mr. BLACKMORE contended that if the affairs of the society were conducted by purely litrrary men it must inevitably fail. It was perfectly untrue that the affairs of the society were mismanaged, and that it was unworthy of public patronage. Mr. J. FORITER said the society was formed for the as sistance and social elevation of men of letters. ansi that they had a right, according to the intention of its foun der, to haves a voice in the administration of its affairs, Mr. M. Mruczs, M.P., thought the course taken by Mr. Dickens and his friends was not in the spirit of men. whose sole object wee the improvement of the institu tion. Theirs was the attitude of men whose desire evi dently was to turn the society to something else, or, fail ing in that, to ruin it altogether. He thought that it would be highly undesirable that the committee should be composed exclusevely of literary men, in whose hands he believed it would soon beco ne a C:iVie or a coterie. Mr. Muattar, of Albemarle-street, moved the follow ing amendment : " That the two items of expenditure which constitute the principal charge upon the Literary Fund consists of the rent of a house and the salary of the secretary, and that these charges have beeo incurred under the recom mendation and continued sanction of successive general meetings ; that the maintainance of a house was always considered indispensable from the earliest period of the existence of the institution, and that a fund, called the ' House Fund,' amounting to 0,541/. 25., wastexpressly funded for that purpose hva separate subscription, which was opened in the year 1805 ; that with reference to the zeal and ability with which the duties of the office of secretary are discharged by the gentleman who new holds that appointment, the salary attached to which was raised to its present amount by the unani mous votes of general meetings, hi not excessive ; that the increasing prosperity of the institution during the 11 years affords satisfactory evidence of the judgment and efficiency with which its affairs have been adminis ter, I, and that whilst this meeting recognises the neces sity and importance of a wise economy, it is of opinion that that object will be best attained by confiding to the consideration of the committee the adoption of such retrenchments in the general expenditure as may be consistent with the security of the fund and the exten sion of its resources." Mr. ITAuersotr seconded the amendment. The CHAIRMAN then took the votes of the meeting, and there appeared— For the original motion 30 For the amendment Majority for the amendment 21 The amendment was declared to ba carried A committee for the ensuing year baying been elected, thanks were unanimously awarded to the chairman, and the meeting separated. The funeral of Madame Marrast, mother of the ex- Pre-ielent of the Constituent Assembly, took place on Monday. Among the mourners were MM. Carnot, Goudchaur, Martin (de Strasbourg), and other former rep eseLtatives and political friends of Armand Ms:riot FESTIVAL OF TER SAMARITAN INSTITLITION.—The anniversary festival of this institution was celebrated last night at the Lbedon Tavern by a party, small, but select. Lord L-ndeeborough was to have presided, butj he sent a medical certificate at the last moment to the effect that indisposition precluded his attend ance. The chair was, therefore, taken by Mr. C. Sueyd Edgeworth (brother of the authoress), and the list of stewards included the names of Mr. D. Ker, M.P., iMr. Wo!Tetley Attwood, Mr. Cband,,e Pole, Mr. J. Penn, ecc. The report of the society shows the great extent of ,benefit which it has con ferred, and still confers, on thee lower orders, seeing that during last winter no less than 75,632 destitute persona were relieved by thus "good Samaritans," while 15,431 attended Divine service, and received Scripture instruc tion at the institution, and 20,28 houseless poor made use of the freelsaths and lavatories. A.subscriptio* of AU. was announced at the close of the chairnsan's speech, proposing success to the charity.
