Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh; Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, Sic. The above work contains most useful and interesting information on the physiological changes which occur in the Reproductive System during the periods of youth, puberty, and manhood ; and on the due attainment of that degree of functional vigour upon which the hopes of posterity depend. It also points out how all the attributes of Man hood can be preserved to an advanced period of life, how they are lost, and how they can be recovered. It is free from the gross exaggerations, alarming descriptions, and dangerous remedies so generally resorted to by persons, who, prac tising with false medical qualifications, inflict most serious injuries, and render judicious treatment frequently abortive. The Author is the only legally qualified practitioner whose name stands on the Medical Register (the only true test of medical qualification), who has been exclu sively engaged for a series of years in the treatment of the variou • functional disorders of the nervous and reproductive system, which, owing to the treat discoveries of modern science, are rendered subservient to a rational, simple, and easy mode of treatment.

We are accustomed to complain, even in England, that on income, instead of raising income to meet expenditure, is not observed by nations as by indi viduals. But in France the bad practice is carried much further, inasmuch as not only does the whole Government fix the national expenditure, but the Army, Navy, Public Works, and Fine Arts, have each their separate budgets, and every Minister with a crochet of his own is able to hook it on to the public purse. It is but justice to M. Fould to say that, although he may have been too subservient to the Imperial will and the demands of his col leagues, he is understood to have always been an himself and knowledge of his business would re volt against a system by which his control of the eovpeproyne Minister of the of p F re n e a n n t ee extravagance.withany respect Indeed,for national expenditure was quite destroyed, by which each Minister prepared a budget for his own department, and thought it inconsistent with his dignity if his rival's share in the national recklessness was greater than his own, It is much to the Emperor's credit that he has at last determined on restoring to his councils a man who has certainly the capacity toset things straight. The light comedians of the political company, a Walewski, or a Persigny, or a Morny, are very well for the Foreign Department or the Home Depart ment, or for splendid embassies, whenever it is necessary to show the wealth and glory of France, or to rebuke malcontents by manifestoes or warn ings. But a more solid nature is required when it is , •neeessary to preserve the power which can 'send-- forth brilliant envoys or silence unquiet journalists. Unless France be well fed and well clothed she will object to pay the heavy taxes which give vigour to the Imperial system. For several years the pres sure on the people has been severe; with the first reverse it verges upon torture. The traveller through France will find that, in addition to im mense armaments which are paid for by the general revenue, every department has been encouraged to spend money to the utmost, and to do in a few years what should be the work of a generation. The Empire, though its works are useful, has been doing them too fast, and the best friend it can have will be one who will say that enough has been done for fame, and that it is now time to consult the happiness of the people.--iinzes.

He thought the resolution would be adopted almost unani mously, as the terms were better than they could have expected to receive for the railway. In con sequence of the approaching opening of the Border Union Railway, the traffic of the North British Company would be thrown on this and the Silloth line. That had been for some time neLessary, in order that they might be able to carry en.' the objects for which the lines were begun. (Cheers.) ' Lieutenant Colonel MACLEAN thought it satisfac tory they should have such a good offer from the North British, and they would be very foolish if they did not accept it. When they looked at the hopeless state of the railway for some years, he thought the sum as large as they could expect any people to give on taking such a concern. (Hear.) To get the North British Company through would take four times the net profit of the Port Carlisle line, The expenses of the Port Carlisle line, at 50 per cent., would be £14,000, and it would take £7,000 to pay what the North British now took on their shoulders. (Applause.) The resolution was unanimously agreed to. It was stated that the consent of all the bondholders, except two or three who were abroad, had been obtained. The directors of the company were authorised to join with the North British Company in applying for an Act to carry out the terms and arrangements agreed to. Mr. IRVING, in moving a vote of thanks to the chairman, stated that negotiations were now going on with a view to getting arrangements made for the Silloth Company, which he hoped would be as satisfactory to them as these were to the Port Carlisle. THE SUN, LONDON, TH URSDAY EVENING, NOVEMI3ER 14, 1861. IHE NAVY. ARRIVAL OF THE WARRIOR AT PLYMOUTH (From the Times.) The iroy.-plated screw steam frigate Warrior, 40, Capt. the Hon. Arthur A. Cochrane, accompanied by Rear-Admiral Robert Smart, in the fligship Revenge, 80, Capt. Charles Fellowes, arrived in Plymouth Sound on Tuesday afternoon, as reported in The Sun yesterday by telegram. These ships left Queenstown harbour under steam at 9 o'clock in the morning of Saturday last. When well out side the screws were raised, all plain sail made to royals, and they continued cruising until 5 p m. On Sunday, the 10th, their course was altered to wards the Channel, for which they proceeded under easy sail, the two ships keeping company very well. The Warrior went 94 knots per hour under topsails and foresail. Sail was shortened or made as the breeze freshened or decreased. On the 11th, at noon, the ships being still under canvas only, Scilly lighthouse was sighted. Here three blank broadsides were discharged ; in the afternoon the guns were shotted and fired. Yesterday the Warrior made two efforts to tack, but she would not go round. It appears that more head sail is necessary; an additional mast for ward is sug gested, or that the foremast and mainmast should be stepped nearer the bow. The ship is too much inclined to "come up in the wind." On the evening of the 11th the two vessels steered right up Channel. On the morning of the 12th sails were furled, steam got up, and a course taken for Plymouth Sound, where they arrived at sunset. The Warrior took the lead, and anchored on the eastern ground inside the Breakwater. The Revenge went to the westward. A considerable number of persons assembled on Plymouth Hoe to witness the arrival of the new ship. Although her great length gives her the appearance of being hogged, her bull, the bow especially, was much admired. The unusual space between the foremast and mainmast excited I observation. During the recent cruise two sets of night signals, Ward's and Colombe's, have been tested. The latter are said to be very effective and intelligible in all weathers. The Western Morning News, in noticing the arrival of the Warrior and the Revenge at Ply mouth, says the two vessels came into the Sound under easy steam, the Warrior leading, at 4 p.m. When coming end on towards the spectator from the shore, the Warrior did not do herself justice, but after rounding the breakwater and standing across the Sound, when she turned her broadside towards the Hoe, the stupendous magnitude of this vast vessel was made apparent. Last evening, from the lateness of the hour at this season of the year at which she arrived, few persons went into the Sound to see her. While at Queenstown she was thrown open to the public for two days, and a large number of visitors came down to her in steamers from Cork city and elsewhere. Should the same privilege be extended to the public while she is here, large numbers from this neighbourhood will also probably avail themselves of the courtesy. She left Queenstown on Saturday morning, and on her passage here has been engaged in various trial ex periments. She has experienced squally weather, but has not fallen in with a regular gale. Since her leaving Portland she has been as far down in the Bay of Biscay as long. 8.25 W., in lat. 49.50 N. As a sea boat and under steam her success has equalled the expectations of the most sanguine. Under sail, and steam working full power, she has obtained the extraordinary speed of 17.2 knots, or just 20 miles per hour, leaving the Revenge no where, but under sail alone she is no match for the Revenge, the two-decker going closer to the wind, and faster before it. The Warrior is exceedingly stiff under all circumstances, rolling uncommonly easy in a cross sea, and pitching very slightly com pared with other vessels. When the Revenge was shipping seas in considerable number, the Warrior was completely dry, A broadside from her heavy armament scarcely causes any vibration. Her bul warks never creak. In accordance with orders from the Lords of the Admiralty, the screw steamships Donegal, 99, Capt. Sherard Osborne, C. 8.; Conqueror, 99, Capt. Ed ward Sotheby, C.B. ; and Sanspareil, 7% Captain Arthur P. E. Wilmot, C. 8., left Plymouth Sound yesterday, about noon, with the expeditionary bat talion of Royal Marines for Mexico. At the time of departure the wind was blowing half a gale from the northward of east, accompanied by rain, with every appearance of increasing heavy weather. The intention to touch at Madeira is, we believe, aban doned, but the squadron will call at Barbadoes and Jamaica en route to Vera Cruz. A rumour that was generally believed at Plymouth on Tuesday , evening, that these vessels were to be delayed sail ing by the Admiralty for eight days, on account of an expected gale, has proved incorrect. In consequence of the time which must be occu pied in repairing the defects of the paddlewheel steamvessel Advice, M. Raymond master, at Devon port, her crew will be turned over to the gunboat Lark, which will proceed to Queenstown when supplied with stores. The order for paying off the screw steamship Centurior, 80, at Plymouth, " all standing," has been countermanded by the Lords of the Admi ralty. She is now to be dismantled and her stores are all to be returned. The paddlewheel steamer Adder, tender to the Wellesley, 74, guardship to the sailing reserve at Chatham, embarked from St. Mary's Island, shortly after daylight yesterday morning, a party of 140 convicts, from the Chatham convict establishment, with which she proceeds to the Nore, where they were transferred to the convict transport Lord Dal housie for conveyance to Gibraltar, there to be em ployed on the works in connection with the repair of the fortifications. The sailing liner Wellesley, 74, which is under going conversion at Chatham for a receiving and training ship for boys and lads, has been removed from her moorings in the harbour to the floating shears to have her present lower masts removed, in order to be fitted with smaller masts and yards. A party of carpenters from the guardshipsForwidable, 84, and Fisgard, 42, have been for some time past employed at Chatham in preparing and lengthening the masts of the Diamond, 27, attached to the sail ing reserve, which are to be placed on board the Wellesley. In order to accommodate the large number of boys who will be attached to the Welles ley the most extensive alterations have been made in her internal fittings, and the interior has under gone a complete metamorphosis. The whole of the seamen pensioners now serving on board are to be discharged, and able and ordinary seamen only re tained on board the vessel. With the exception of a few 32's to be used in the instruction of the lads, all the guns have been taken out and removed to the ordnance stores. The lower deck is to be given up exclusively to the boys, the seamen having berths and accommodation provided for them on the orlop deck. Admiralty orders were yesterday received at Chatham directing that no more frigate frames are to be converted until further orders are received, from which it is inferred that the Admiralty are about to suspend the construction of new ships of that class. The screw corvette Barossa, 21, 1,700 tons, 400- horse power, is ordered to be brought forward, with the utmost despatch, for the first division of the steam reserve in the Medway, at Chatham, to be in readi ness for immediate commission, when required. The Barossa is almost complete in her rigging and fit ments, and is expected to be ready to go out of the steam basin at Sheerness in the course of a day or two, when she will immediately join the steam re• serve fleet under the command of Captain C. F. Schomberg. Every exertion is being made in forwarding the Rattlesnake, 21, in No. 4 dock in Chatham-yard. Seyeral gangs of workmen are actively engaged upon her, upwards Of 40 hands being employed in the operation of coppering, which is now rapidly approaching completion. The naval department transport Sinbad has been brought alongside the anchor-wharf at Chatham dockyard, and commenced discharging a cargo of general stores for the use.of the yard. She also brings a quantity of ships' i am ipisses to be placed in store, and a large funnel lbr the Reindeer, 17, screw steam-sloop, 951 tons, 200 horse-power, now building on No. 2 slip. Workmen have new completed flooring over No.l dock at Chatham, which is for the present rendered useless for the accommodation of shipping, on ac count of its being in the hands of the contractors, Messrs. Foord and Sons, of Rochester, who are new engaged in lengthening and improving it. The flooring is formed of thick slabs of wood, and is supported by immense piles, it being necessary that it should be of the greatest strength, as it is to be used as a workshop in which the huge sections and other parts of the Achilles, iron frigate, now build ing in the next dock, are to be fitted together be fore being used in the actual construction of that vessel. The covering over the third dock is to be carried considerably further inland, and the end nearest the water is now being enclosed. By direction of the authorities at the Horse Guards a further number of cavalry and infantry troops who have completed their period of service, or have been pronounced unfit for further service, will be discharged from the army at St. Mary's In valid Establishment, Chatham, this morning. The men selected for discharge were inspected on the parade-ground at St. Mary's Barracks yesterday morning. FRANCE AND AUSTRLI. Last Sunday week appeared in the Courrier (71 Dimanche an article from the pen of M. E. Pelle tan, headed "La Libcrte comme en Autriche," con trasting the liberal institutions awarded by the Emperor of Austria to his people with those exist ing in France; and the contrast is greatly to the advantage of the former. It appears that it has given offence to the Minister of the Interior, who has no great admiration for Parliamentary govern ment, and that the paper has been seized with a view to prosecution. The following are a few ex tracts from the offensive article: I , There was a time when Franeo was in the ad vanced guard of liberty. She exercised sovereignty, for she controlled the revenue and the expenditure ; she named the Government, and while she invested it with powers to act for her, she stood erect be hind it, and maintained her right of discussion with it—that is, of sup3rintendenee. And so, every hour, and without any interruption, directly or in directly, under one form or another, with one liberty or another, France kept her influence in the policy of the country, and governed in participation with the Government ; for what statesman could adopt any measure whatever in the business of IA free people without taking into account her opinion ? The jaded spirit of I know what ante-chamber de- moeracy affects a profound disgust for the libera system, which it calls the system of prating. The press, hostile to freedom of speech, which consents to speak only, in order to transform France into a nation of deaf and dumb people, can speak of the liberal regime as it pleases, but at least it cannot say that that regime placed the spirit of inquiry in suspicion and demanded silence as its condition. Far from refusing or fearing to reason, liberty ap pealed from it, the very first, to discussion. But it is not by induction only that we may estimate the Liberal regime, it is by experience. It has lived; and in the memory of our generation it made of France the living thought, the univer sity, the academy of Europe. It reealled philo sophy, revived eloquence, regenerated history, transferred poetry, revolutionised literature. Not one of us but could tell from memory at this mo ment the list of all the talents of the very first order—writers, artists, orators, publicists, econo mists—whom we found placed as an escort of honour round the footsteps of freedom. Many have dis appeared. Some survive in France and abroad. E vtry day Time removes them to the other side of the mountain. Death exhausts our supplies of genius; but do we renew them ? Where are the glories we have got in exchange ? All we now do is to enlighten ourselves, to warm ourselves in the last rays of the setting sun." This is not a bad beginning. Again " The free press had its eye ever open to the gambling of speculation. Then was not witnessed the repetition of the Mississippi bubble of the Re gency, nor of the hells under the guise of banks, nor of Samuel Bernard by turn of the hand rising from the dept of the Rue Quincampoix to the sum mit of opulence, and falling from the heights of his millions to the bar of a police-court. The liberal regime presented something less dramatic to the imagination. It even affected modesty. Neverthe less, it did much for the people, negatively and affirmatively, in spite of all which apocryphal de mocracy in its hatred of liberty can allege. Instead of sporting with the blood of a people, the Revolu tion of July preferred the spectacle of the peaceable majority of a free nation in the full enjoyment cnd practice of its libert y. Th e g l ory cons i ste d i n spreading around it it s id eas rather than the smoke of cannon. It took the lead of the public mind in Europe, and merely by the seduction of its example, merely by its press and its Parliaments, it drew successively every nation 'within the system of gra vitation of the French people. Must we once more repeat the testimony of a statesman of despotism P Thanks,' he said, to the development of liberal institutions, effected through the inspiration of French spirit, France will have gained more by peace than war could have given her, she will see herself encircled by a rampart of Constitutional States, living with her life, and acting under her influence.'" After enumerating the advantages in favour of Austria, he says : " Austria, moreover, possesses individual liberty in its plenitude: A law of M. de Schmerling has just proclaimed the inviolability of the citizen's home. The Austrian father of a family may hence forth sleep in security. The police agent will no longer come, like a thief in the night, break open his door, and surprise him during his first sleep. Aus tria has besides liberty of the press —at least pro jected. This project, though bearing the trace of mistrust,still recognises the rights of every Austrian citizan to found a journal, on the sole condition of making a previous declaration to the police, and depositing as caution money a sum of 8,000 florins. This low figure testifies to the good intention of enlarging, rather than of limiting, the right of discussion. In the absence of the jury, which is as yet unknown to th e A us t r i an co d e , the superior courts of justice alone can, in case of an offence, decide on the article incriminated, but in presence of the public, with open doors, with complete pub licity of the pleadings, pending the trial and after it." After showing the other advantages possessed by Austria, M. Pelletan concludes thus " We hope better, we avow, of the young man who now tries to keep together the dislocated Aus trian empire. It is in his belief of the impotence of despotism that he has granted his constitution. Why should he desire to destroy it ? Has he, in deed, like Haynan, spots of blood upon his hands which all the perfumes of Arabia cannot wash away ? As for us, Frenchmen, whom destiny dis poses to modesty when liberty is in question, we would willingly accept the chance offered to Aus tria as an instalment of what has been promised to us. As good neighbours, however, t e o r ry lib fo e r rty F m ra a n k c e e s otn, f t r h e e sh Da e n eh u ci b u e. est, F th o e r the attempt of M. Schmerlin we rejoice at g. We ev en see i n it a wh n e e r w eso v e ic v French people have indeed a right to claim a portion of the paternity. Were we not the first workmen, the first up to the task, the first who proclaimed the new theology of the rights of man, and defended it with our genius and our blood? And now that the veteran of liberty, more or less sceptical as to his own principle, feels the pathway with his foot, and stretches out his hand into space, recognise by the mark on his brow the vanquisher of the Bastile. Bestow an ()bolus on Belisarius." TITS EX-KING OE NAPLES AND TILE BOURBON EXILES AT 24031 E. The folbwing is the speech of the King of Naples in reply to the Address presented to their Majesties', with a sword of honour for the King and a diadem for the Queen, from the Neapolitan nobility in exile at Rome:— My Lords and Ladies,—My heart overflows with the liveliest pleasure in seeing around me so distinguished a body of the nobility of my king dom, come to offer to me a homage which so be speaks their fidelity. Braving all dangers and sacrifices, you have preferred to share my exile rather than remain spectators of the iniquities which, alas ! afflict our unhappy country. If the deplorable circumstances in which it is at present plunged profoundly afflict my soul, yet the impos ing spectacle which my people offer, resisting by all the means in their power the foreign tyranny which oppresses them, is no light consolation to me. From the hospitable land which has sheltered me, I breathe a prayer of gratitude and of admira tion to those brave soldiers, who, deprived of all save courage, battle on our mountains against an enemy immeasurably superior in number and in force; but who, nevertheless, can never succeed in conquering them, because none can con quer the noble love of independence. I see, at the same time, with a special satisfaction, that aristocracy which you so worthily represent protest so solemnly by its conduct against the pretended universal suffrage, since belied by facts, and to which Europe has never given faith. "It is to-day a year since that nullity took place, over which presided fraud and terror; and at the end of a year Piedmont has gained nothing in the land it has usurped. Anarchy, civil war, the misery of the people, the majority of the aristocracy in exile, and that which, not having left its country, remains, aloof from all public employment, prove it clearly to all Europe. The homage which you come here to-day to offer in the name of your class, still more emphatically attests this. "The Queen and I shall preserve eternally en graved on our hearts the names of you all ; and the sword which you offer to me I hope shall soon rise from its scabbard in defence of our sacred rights. If the chances of war have been one day unfavour able to us, when we essayed with our brave soldiers to repulse an invasion as unexpected as it was unworthy, I have full confidence that we shall ace better days, and that, supported by the concourse of my people, and surrounded by you, I shall re mount the throne of my ancesters to restore, like the immortal Charles 111., for the second time, the independence of my well-beloved people. " Be, meantime, the interpreters of my senti ments and of those of the Queen towards all those who are associated to you in this new and striking homage of attachment and fidelity. Communicate, I pray you, the expression of our sentiments to the absent, who, wandering in the different kingdoms of Europe, co-operate by their incessant efforts towards my restoration ; and with that good feel ing which distinguishes you, find a way to make known the expression of our gratitude to those who, though abiding under the ferocious yoke of the foreign invader, have not hesitated to inscribe their names alongside of yours. "Be pursuaded that our hearts can never forget this hour and that if the Divine favour re-conduct me one day to my throne, all my cares, and each of my thoughts, shall be consecrated to the happiness of my people. IUR. STANSFELD, AND ITALIAN UNITY. James Stansfeld, Esq., M.P., delivered a leetnre to a large audience last Tuesday night, in the Mechanics' Hall, Halifax, on the Italian question. Mr. STANSFELD, M.P., on stepping forward, was received with great cheering. He observed that there was a sound rule in institutions like the pre sent excluding party politics from the subjects of lectures and discussions, But the Italian movement was not a question of party politics. He was not aware of the English party which did not desire the freedom, the independence, and, he might add, the unity of the Italian people. (Cheere.) He then proceeded to say that the close of the campaign of 1848 49 left Italy with two policies open to be pur sued —namely, that put forth by the Republican party for the unity of Italy, and that of monarchy under the House of Savoy, as the kingdom of the North. Italy was at that time bent down, but even then it was felt that Austria had not taken up a permanent position in the country—that she was only, in fact, encamped there. There was a desire for Italian unity, and the existence of a large and active popular party—the Republican party—to which the nation was obliged, now and for ever, for the independence of their country. The hon. I member next pointed out the causes which he con• sidered led Piedmont to support the popular voice for unity. Ono reason was that Piedmont was the only Italian nation which was independent of Austria, and to her the people looked for assistance. Then the extensive emigration which took place of the oppressed people into Piedmont constituted another link between that kingdom and the Italy of the fature. Then, constitutional Piedmont was sagacious enough to see that she must embrace the popular party or she would lose her influence. Many Italian statesmen had all along treated the notion of unity as a chimera. They appeared to expect a union or federation of the nations, from which Austria would be excluded, but they did not see the unity of the Italians. He then spoke of Count Cavour, and said an attempt had recently been made to claim for him the credit of conceiving the idea from his childhood of the unity of Italy. He (Mr. Stansfield) and every Englishman were interested in arriving at a just appreciation of the services of that great man, who might years ago have had his visions of building up the kingdom of Italy, as he called it, but which did not, in the phraseology of the time, mean more than a union of the northern provinces. He (Mr. Stansfield) asserted, from his own personal knowledge, that there had not been a time since 1848—since Piedmont, in fact, became a Constitutional king dom, and ceased to be the tool of Austria—when the Republican party were not ready to accept monarchy, provided monarchy would commit its fortunes to the unity of the country. In proof of this he would refer to the object of the founder of the party—a man who had been in continuous exile, or who had visited his country at the risk of his life—he meant Joseph Mazzini, who had long been his friend, and whom he perhaps knew better than any other person in England or Italy. (Cheers.) The name of Mazzini had been made to suggest the ideas of anarchy, civil war, disregard of the best counsel and interests of his country, Mr. Stansfield then proceeded to show that Mazzini's great aim Lad been all along Italian unity. He and his party remained absolutely true to that idea. He it was who planned the insurrection of Sicily; it was the same party who prepared the way for Garibaldi's entrance into Naples ; it was this party that furnished the bulk of the volunteers, and gave Naples and Sicily to the new kingdom of Italy. There were few men in England (Mr, Stansfield said, in conclusion) who, not loving Italian unity, sought to gratify their despotic instinct by remarks upon the policy of Cavour, and who would like to see nothing but the rivalries and jealousies of par ties and public men—but when he looked he en deavoured to raise himself above all such petty PRICE -.4d. STAMPED ....sd. considerations, and gaze upon the grand, the glo ries outlines of this mighty movement, or when, closing his eyes to all petty, transitory matters, he sought to penetrate the core of this great argu ment, he saw not the rivalries and jealousies of parties and public men. These were the exhibi tions of human passions and interests, acting in subserviency to a great providential end ; and England saw the grandest, the most hopeful, the most inspiring spectacle which this earth could fuanish, in the regeneration of the Italian people. (Great cheering.) WIIAT A PATERNAL GOVERNMENT HAS BONE FOR PARIS. The most terrible feature of the present condition of things in Paris is the poverty. Since 1848 nothing has been seen like it. if you take long walks in Paris now, you will most likely be several times accosted by decently-dressed people of both sexes, but principally by elderly ladies, actually begging ! I have seen this phenomenon perpetually within the last three weeks. It is since the change in the weather that it is most to be noticed; for with bread, meat, and wine at the price they stand at now, it is impossible for people with narrow means to live. In each of the sad cases I mention the in dividuals belonged evidently to the better class of society. Ten years ago 3,000 f. per annum enabled a man and his wife to live with some small comforts, employing a femme de menage to do the housework, and even from time to time indulging in some very modest pleasure, such as a day's :excursion to Ver sailles on a Sunday or fete-day, or (once or twice in the year) perhaps a third or fourth rate place at one of the theatres. Now the matter stands thus :—The apartment for which was paid 200 f. now costs 500 f. or 600 f.; the taxes are nearly doubled; the boots—of which the man uses plenty because they are made of bad leather, and, if he has any employment, h e has long walks to take—the boots run away, at the least, with another 100 f. ; his clothing costs him £l5 at the lowest, for every article of it is dear and bad, and his linen is worn out quickly, because, soap being too dear, washing establishments resort to the most destructive I rocesses for cleansing it. Here, then, we have £5O or £6O gone before a man in the position we state can stir out of his house, or be capable of moving about to gain his livelihood. Out of his £l2O a year there remains to him £6O or £7O upon which to find food and firing, when bread is at lf. the 41b. loaf; wine, formerly at 8 and 10 sous, is at 15 and 16; and meat, for the small con sumer, at 10d. and ls. a pound, and more; and when the potatoes that used to cost him two sous now cost him five, and the quantity of soup vegetables he used to get for three sous costs him seven or eight ! And, be it noted, here we ,have a yearly sum of income which is by no means a lo w or com mon one; and we have not taken into account a single article of expenditure for a woman ; whereas men with £l2O a year, one may almost say, are in variably married men. If from this relatively high income we revert to the canamon run of the incomes of men of this stamp, we find them range from £5O to £7O or £BO. How are they to live. One expres sion of mine requires explanation. I speak of the dearness of meat for a " small consumer." For a household that can afford to buy, per week, three or four joints, and three or four breasts of mutton or veal, with two or three pieces of soup beef, a butcher will make an arrangement by which all meat shall have the average price of, say 9d. a pound, but this only touches the large consumer. The small one, who purchases each day the pound or so of meat requi site for his food and that of his wife, if he has one, pays for that small quantity at the highest price • he will pay for veal, for inst ance (or the better sort of beef or mutton) from 10d. to 14d. a pound. If the class of men I have described has (as is often the case) any writing to take away from his bureau and finish at home, he must have light, and lamp-oil is at 15 sous a pound; besides which, after his insufficient food throughout the day, this night labour in the cold, when his meagre fire is burnt out, and when he dare not afford himself the luxury of a bit of cold meat or a glass of wine to prevent him from retiring for a broken sleep, which does not refresh his shivering worn-out frame—this night labour tells upon his health, and the first slight illness prostrates him. Then utter ruin stares him in the face, for one doctor's bill exhausts his means of bare existence for three months. In these house holds there is nothing over for joy or grief. The child that is born or the parent who dies is equally a misfortune which cannot be met, and the employe or the poor gentleman in Franee has not where withal to pay for one hour's healthy relaxation from exhausting toil, or for the indulgence of one natural sentiment. —London Review. FINANCIAL S2ATE OF FRANCE. France has at length discovered that there is a power which checks armies, that bids ambition pause, that places glory on an inaccessible height, and commands that the gratification of taste shall be foregone. In spite of the immense increase of wealth which has marked the present reign, the finances of the country have always been in a doubtful state, and row it is acknowledged on all hands that a term of economy must begin. The Parisian millionaire is but the type of his country men. He does for himself what they, under Imperial guidance, are doing as a community. His gains are great, not only from legitimate industry, but from taking advantage of the turns of fortune, and watching every bubble on the political stream. But though, in common parlance, a rich man, his sober English friends look on him with suspicion, for he, a man of yesterday, lives as only those live on this side of the Channel who have great hereditary wealth and are the representatives not only of their own capital, but of that amassed by a line of fore fathers. The Fienchman shows by his expenditure that he has so many hundred thousand francs a-year but people cannot help thinking that, as in the case of the Irishman, it is only for one year. A spacious appartement at a fabulous rent, or perhaps a villa in the new quarter which is springing up for the great world, furniture of taste, pictures of genius, rare books, bought only to be boasted of, costly enter tainments, and perhaps little private amusements still more costly, puzzle the homely inhabitants of our Tyburnia who happen to know something about that Frenchman's business. On a large scale it is the same with France. We know what we can afford, and feel very sure that we could not afford all that is being done across the Channel. We also are able to form some estimate of the respective wealth of the two nations, and, though conscious of the great ad vance made by France, we are not prepared to be lieve that she can persevere in these large public and private outlays. Though a part of the expendi ture, particularly that of the capital, has been re munerative, yet undoubtedly vast sums have been sunk to buy glory for the nation and popularity for the restored Empire. A few days since we commented on the difficul ties which lay before the Government during the winter. The deficiency of the harvest and the ces sation of exports to America have not only deranged the calculations of the Ministry, but threaten to cause much distress among classes which have been useful supporters, and may be dangerous opponents of the Government. Any misfortune in a country so cl,osely connected with our own would be so sure to affect ourselves that it is with a feeling almost of relief we find that the rumours of the last week have a foundation, and that a Finance Minister of some calibre is likely to succeed to the present clever, but uninstructed, occupant of the office. We have no wish to enter into the gossip of Paris, of which our readers common know, and re p o d r e t s: desire we to m know, ay say that little, M b.O Fouldt , fol lowinglost the direction of French finance through a fend between him and other persons in high station, which, it seems, was so bitter as to preclud e hi m from sitting in the Cabinet.

Fould was not only given to economical lectures, which were very unpleasant, but he had notions con cerning the recognition of Italy and the withdrawal of the French from Rome which a dominant party in France highly resented. It is to be added to this that there was, for one reason or another, a cool ness between him and a principal colleague—M. de Persigny—which had, perhaps, some share in his retirement. Happily, this feeling will now, in all probability, cease to operate, for both Persigny and Fould are men of the world, and never, from the earliest times, did men of the world refuse to be reconciled when their common interests prompted the act. For the present it is said that nothing has been done, since the position of the new Minister has not yet been finally arranged. There is much said about the demands made by more than one individual. M. Fould is said to have asked for the rank of President of the Council of Ninisters, As M. NORTH BRITISH. A special meeting of the ordinary shareholders of this company was held at Edinburgh on Tuesday, Mr. Hodgson presiding, for the purpose of consider ing the propriety of subscribing a fund for the pur pose of making a line through Berwickshire. The CHAIR➢iAN stated that the directors had agreed to recommend the shareholders to subscribe the sum of £50,000 towards the proposed railway, on condition of the local promoters first contribut ing £50,000 and becoming liable for all preliminary and Parliamentary expenses in the event of the Act not being obtained. The proposed line will be 20 miles in length, and will run from the terminus of the Dunse branch of the Berwick line to St. Bos well's, on the Hawick line, thus forming a connect ing link between the east and west portions of the North British Railway system. The estimated cost is £lOO,OOO, to be raised as above stated ; and should it be exceeded the borrowing powers will be exer cised. The line is to pass Earlston, a manufactur ing town, and Greenlaw, the county town. The chairman, who expressed his belief that the line would be remunerative in itself and advantage ous to the North British, moved that the sum of £50,000 be contributed. _ _ Mr. SrnoT, deputy chairman, seconded the reso [ution. In reply to Mr. Murray, The CHAIRMAN stated that the directors did not feel that they were in a position to receive tenders for the construction of the Galashiels and Peebles line till the Border Union line, from Hawick to Carlisle and Hexham, was opened. The resolution was unanimously carried. INSTITUTION OF CIVIL _ENGINEERS: At the meeting of this institution, on Tuesday, Mr. George P.

Among his principal civil engineering works were mentioned the South Eastern and the Great Northern railways; the gigantic floating landing stages at Liverpool, the iron bridge at Rochester, and the :effective super intendence of the construction of the Crystal Palace in Hyde-park in 1851, which service was recognised by her Majesty conferring on him the honour of knighthood. Sir William, unlike other members, had attained an advanced age, and during his long career had secured the respect and esteem of all his professional brethren, as well as the cousideration of all with whom ho was brought into contact.
