The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly 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 pr i nc iples of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous p nalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, that there s scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. practice in the treat ment of these delicate complaints, which are The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive unfortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant empirics, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in their pretensions.

PROGRESS OF PIPE DRAINAGE WORKS FOR SANI TARY PURPOSES .—From reports recently laid before Parliament, i t i s . estimated that, in 1848, 104 miles of sewer drain pipes were manufactured ; in 1849, 416 miles ; in 1850, 1,040 miles ; in 1851, 1,820 miles ; in 1852, 2,080 miles ; and in 1853, 2,600 miles, making in all about 8,0 00 miles of pipes for house and town drainage. From the annual returns made by the 111etropolitan Commissioners of SeWers (the last of which has recently been delivered to Parlia ment) it appears that there have been laid in the me tropolis, since 1848, and under the sanction of those commissioners, 346 miles of pipe sewers. Of this quantity 64 miles and 4,205 feet were laid down by the direction of the commissioners, and paid for out of sewers rate?, and 281 miles 2,334 feet by private indivi duals: It further appears that. 26,978 houses in the me tropolis have since 1849 been drained by tubular pipes of various sizes. With respect to those sizes, it is shown by these returns that one mile 1,278 feet have been laid by the commissioners of 3 and 4 inch diameter pipes ; and that 41 miles 3,155 feet, equal to the drainage of about 10,000 houses, have been laid by private indivi duals. It also appears from the same returns that, during 1853, the quantity of tubular pipes of the same sizes used by private individuals amounted to 56,955 , feet, or 10 miles 4,155 feet. This is exclusive of up , wards of 80 miles of brick sewer returned as laid down in the metropolis during the flame years, for the larger discharge. I! A IVIINI2TOR OF WAR. The statement made by Lord John Russell last night in the House of Commons removes all doubt as to the fact that the duties of the War Department are to be severed from those of the Colonial-office, and that a fourth Secretary of State is to be created by the autho rity of the Crown tovonduct that important portion of our military administration Which has heretofore de volved upon the Colonial Minister. Thus far a step is made in the right direction, and we are entitled to look with peculiar satisfaction on the result of this dis cussion. Repeated commissions of Ministers and Gene ral Officers have considered and reported on this subject; committees of the House of Commons have 'sat and blue-books have been printed in vain ; even in the pre sent session, when the occurrence of hostilities gave a pressing interest to the question, Lord Grey in the House of Lords, and Mr. Hume and Mr. Rich in the House of Commons, appealed to the common sense of the Legislature with no better effect than to elicit from the Treasury bench a string of arguments to prove that such a change was inexpedient and impracticable. The press, however, steadily pursuing an unanswerable line of reasoning, and supported by the instinctive percep tions of the country, has succeeded in carrying the point, and has even prevailed over the personal obstacles with which it was surrounded. 4: But, though we congratulate the country and our selves on the success of these remonstrances, as far as it goes, we are not by any means satisfied that the mea sure announced, but imperfectly described last night, by Lord John Russell is of a nature and extent to satisfy our just expectations. The measure we require may best be described in the twords'of the report of 1837 as " the consolidation of the civil departments of the army," and it would only increase the present anomaly of our military administratiets if we create a Minister of War—that is, a Minister for all military affairs except the command of the forces—without transferring to him full powers over every civil department of the service. Yet we are still left in doubt as to the position of the Secretary at War, who is the Financial Minister of the army, and who will remain responsible to the House of Commons for estimates which he cannot determine and for expenses he cannot control. The financial depart ment of the army becomes, of course, an important branch of the Ministry of W ar, and the head of that brat.ch might fitly be an Under-Secretary of State, representing the office in the House of Commons when the head of it is a peer. But we can hardly conceive a greater absurdity than to leave the War-office to transact its present amount of business with a Minister at its head who is a member of the Cabinet, while the country would look to another Cabi net Minister and Secretary of State for all that concerns the civil administration of the army. The report of 1837 distinctly proposed as the foundation of the whole measure that the War-office should be merged in this new department of state, or rather that the War-office should be extended and raised in its functions and dig nity, so as to include under one head, responsible to Parliament and to the country, all the various branches which are now scattered in half a-dozen different offices from Pall-mall to Downing-street. It is obvious that one office, efficiently constituted and conducted, is a far simpler and more powerful engine of government than these disconnected and co-ordinate fragments of admi nistration. Mr. Ellice pointed out with great clearness the true position of the question, and we sincerely hope that the Government will not commit the folly of at tempting a half measure, when a complete and definitive arrangement can alone prove s atisfactor y to the countr y . Lord John was equally reserved on the question of persons, as affected by this new arrangement, although considerations of this nature are apt to have more influence' on—great public measures than the public willingly believe. We apprehend, however, that the Duke of Newcastle will retain the Department of War, to which he has already devoted so much labour and attention. The duke was unques tionably entitled to a free choice of either moiety of his former duties, for he has held them both with credit. At the present moment there might have been some dis advantage in abruptly transferring the business of the army to a Minister less familiar with the details of the present expedition ; and we cannot he surprised that the duke has selected the more arduous and exciting of the two posts. The Government has therefore to provide itself with a Secretary of State fo the Colonies. Lord J. Russell himself has left honourable traditions in the Colonial Department, and we question whether he has succeeded equally well in any other branch of the public service, although he has tried them nearly all. Every body would see him resume that office with pleasure, and it has been strongly urged upon him by his col leagues ; but the leadership of the House of Commons is too arduous a task to be easily united to a labori ous office in the Government; and, on the score of health and strength, it is probable that Lord John will decline to accept duties which he knows by expe rience to be incessant and severe. Among those mem bers of the Whig party who were unavoidably left out when the present Administration was formed, Sir George Grey is, perhaps, the most eminent, and, although he has no peculiar acquaintance with its duties, we enter tain little doubt that the seals of the Colonial Depart ment will be offered to him. Without adding materially to the strength of the Government, Sir George Grey is deservedly regarded by men of all parties with respect and esteem ; and the House of Commons will view with satisfaction his return to the front row of the Ministerial benches. Other modifications of the Government may possibly arise out of this change in the War Department, for, although a War Minister is to be appointed, no new place will be created, unless the concurrent and super fluous post of the present Secretary-at-War be retained. But on these particulars it is premature to enter until we have learnt more accurately and completely the nature of the arrangements which are to be adopted. Times . PRIVY COUNCIL.

A special meeting of this company was held yester day at the new station, Paddington, to consider eight bills now before Parliament. Mr. C. Russell in the chair. Mr. Saunders, the secretary, having read the adver tisement convening the meeting, The Caarnseaas said, they had met in compliance with the Standing Orders of the House of Lords, for the purpose of obtaining the approval of the shareholders to such of the bills as had made sufficient prcgress in Parliament. The first bill he had to submit was " A bill for enabling the Great Western Railway Company to make a branch railway to connect the Berks and Hants Railway with the main line of the Great Western Railway near Reading ; for extending the time for the completion of parts of the Wilts, Somerset, and Wey mouth Railway, and for reviving the powers for pur chase of land for, and for completing other portions of that railway, and for other purposes." The bill autho rised the construction of a short branch line at Reading, which would be of great importance in facilitating the traffic to and from Basingstroke and other places, and enalalliC i iie trains to proceed direct to their destination, an void the present delay and inconvenience at that st . The bill also provided for the completion of ilt ig. ,- So t, and Weym outh Railwa y —a mea thatrha en repeatedly sanctioned by the pro tors at r meetings ; and the object of the bill was to giv to these resolutions, to extend the time for ing the works, and to authorise the company t e funds for the purpose. The Secretary read the heads of the bill, from which it appeared that two years were allowed for the purchase of land, and three years for the completion of the works. The length of the . branch at Reading was about a quarter of mile, and..the cost 20,0001. ; the length of the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth lines to be completed was 76 miles, and the cost about 1,000,0001. Arrangements had been made with the South-Western Company for laying down the broad guage for a distance of eight miles on their Dorchester branch, and, in return, the Great Western are to lay down the narrow guage from Dorchester to Weymouth. The CHAIRMAN moved a formal resolution approving the bill and authorising the directors to take the neces sary steps with regard to it, which was seconded by Lord BARRINGTON. The Hon. C. L. BUTLER said he would give the mea sure his most strenuous opposition, as it would involve a large expenditure and have the effect, with other mat ters, of reducing their dividends to 2 per cent. It was with the greatest anxiety ne looked on the further ex penditure of capital. If they had confined themselves to their western extensions, he believed they would now be in the receipt of 8 per cent., instead of 4 per cent. dividends. He regretted that a general warfare had been kept up with other companies, and large sums had been expended in Parliamentary and law expenses, as he considered, needlessly. There had been serious war fare at Leamington between the two companies, to the injury of the public. There were also a number of petty actions carried on by the company—a recent one in re spect to the loss of a portmanteau, the defence of which must have cost a considerable amount. He concluded by moving an amendment to the effect that no more money be expended on branch lines and extensions. Mr. BLYTH had great pleasure in seconding the mo tion, as he felt that, if the shareholders did not put a stop to those branch lines, there would be no end to their liabidties. The time had come when railway com panies should cease spending money on branch lines, and leave the construction of them to the parties inte rested in the various districts. It was quite enough for companies to work the traffic on them when made. The CHAIRMAN said, the directors fully concurred in the regret the hon. proprietor had expressed respecting the warfare that had continued so long between the Great Western had London and North-Western Com panies ; but the directors could assure him that it was not their fault that it had continued. He (the chairman) repudiated the charge that the Great Western were litigious, F S no one regretted snore than the board the various causes of litigation ; but sometimes it happened that great principles were involved in apparently trivial matters, which, if not defended, would entail the loss of thousands to the company. The various undertakings in which they were at pre:ent involved had been forced upon the company in 1847, through the mad popular feeling that existed at that time for new branches and extensions. He could produce numerous letters from shareholders, urging them at that time to oppose the extensions of the South-Western Railway, and to pro mote others. There was not one new undertaking pro posed by the directors ; all that they asked was further power to give effect to resolutions and measures which the proprietors had over and over again sanctioned at meetings of the company ; legai procesdings hal been taken against the company to complete the lint s in ques tion, and mandamuses were pending in respect to sonic of them. The great object of the directors was to make the 1,500,0001., which had been expended on the Wilts and Weymouth lines, productive by the outlay of the 1,000,0001. to complete them, all the chief expenses having been already incurred. Major COURT begged to say that the present state of things was entirely owing to the fault of the proprietors ; they had given their sanction at various times to mea sures of which they were wholly ignorant. He (Major Court) had often on former occasions called upon the proprietors to pause, and inquire into the various mea sures then proposed before they sanctioned them, but no attention was paid to his frequent warnings, and hence the present difficulty. He would ask whether the gross traffic of the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Railway would amount to 6 per cent. on the outlay ? The CHAIRMAN believed there would be a fair return on the amount they proposed to spend. After some observations from Mr. Vousley, and ex planations from Mr. Saunders, respecting the liability of the company to complete its engagements to the public and to Parliament, the Hon. Mr. Butler with drew his amendment, expressing himself perfectly satis fied with the explanation afforded by the chairman and Mr. Saunders respecting the necessity for carrying out the measure proposed. A resolution, approving the bill, was then carried unanimously. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN " A bill for enabling the Great Western Railway Company to provide addi tional station accommodation at Birmingham, Wolver hampton, and Bushbury, at an expense of 30,0001." way approved. The CHAIRMAN said the next bill he had to submit was "A. bill to authorise the consolidation into one under taking of the Great Western, the Shrewsbury and Bir mingham, and the Shrewsbury and Chester Railways, and the union into one company of the three several Co n panies to whom the said railways respectively belong." The agreement with those companies was entered into on the 28th of September last, and was confirmed by the proprietors at the meeting in February last. The bill had been sanctioned by the House of Commons on the ground of its public utility, and he had no doubt it would also pass through the House of Lords. The SECRETARY read the heads of the bill. In reply to questions it was stated that the share capital of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham amounted to 1,344,0001., of the Shrewsbury and Chester to 1,251,0001., and of the loans to 488,0001. and 417,0001. respectively, making together about 3,500,0001. The gross traffic receipts last year on these two lines amounted to 140,000/., notwithstanding very severe competition, being equal to 4 per cent. on the whole capital. They had no doubt the competition would be removed, and all the risk the Great Western would have to provide for would be the working expenses, the amount of which with an increasing traffic would be considerably reduced. A resolution approving the bill was carried. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, " A bill for enabling the South Wales Railway Company to acquire additional land at Swansea, and for enlarging the powers of lease or sale to and con contribution by the Great Western Rail way Company, for authorising arrangements be tween the Sout ales Railway Company and th e 4 Vale of Neath .., ailway Company, and for other purposes,",, was approved. A resolution was also passed . ap proving a bill for authorising arrange ments s_v j ith resps,Et . the South Reserve, at Birken head; :Ft for °Mr!. purposes. The provisions in the bill wese for enabling the Great Western Railway Corn pitahf to obtain the Birkenhead trustees part of the Soups Reserve terminal station, at Birkenhead, should be req ired. TheiritarnstaN stared, that the other three bills were not s ' ntly advanced to be submitted to the proptrie; ily torts un r the Wharncliffe standing order, and there or it woul e necessary to adjourn the meeting for the con sideration of ihem to the 22d inst. In reply to% question, it was stated that they had not submitted a proposition for subscribing to new schemes since 1848, with the exception o f 175,0001. to the North Metropolitan Railway, whic h, whe completed,ld enable them to convey passengersn to the General Post office, and would be a great advantage to the company. A cordial/ote of thanks w as then unanimously passed to the chairman and directors for the manner in which they had conduc ted the affairs of the company. The best thanks of the m eeting were given to Mr. Saunders, the secretary, for his meritorious and zealous services to the company. The m eeting then separated. RAILWAY' ACCIDENT.—An accident, which has ter- I urinated fatally, occurred on Saturday at Darlington. An inquest was held on Monday, when from the evidence given it appeared that th e un f or t una t e man , whose name is Thomas Graham, was employed in reversing the . fastenings of a coal train, which was lying on the line ' of railway which joins the Stockton and Darlington and ' York and Berwick stations, when an engine and pas senger carriage came down the adjoining line on its way to the Stockton and Darlington station. The driver of the corning engine whistled as he turned the curve, and the deceased in his anxiety to be quite safe a s the engine and carriage passed, stooped down. The lines are here d very close to each other, and in doing so Grahams head caught in the foot-board of the passenger carriagel as I d passed, and he was knocked down. The Medical assistance was promptly rendered,. but in a few whee b s d passe over his thigh and the lower part of his a . omen. hours the unfortunate man expired. The jury returned \ a verdict of accidental death. FIRST CLASS. First Mathematics, Military Surveying, Second Good Conduct, and the Pollock Medal—W. Jeffreys. Second Hindustani--C. M. Browne.

After the mathematical examination had finished in the hall, Cadets Moore, Tanner, Haig, and Baker were called upon to construct a two-gun battery (scale one inch to a foot) in a shallow Lox six feet square, two-thirds filled with moist sand, gahions and fascines to the scale lying ready for use ; while Cadet Brown was desired to explain the principles on which Vauban a First System is constructed ; Hadow, the various methods of retrench ing bastions ; and Taylor, the method of tracing coun termines. The other cadets were called upon to answer various questions put by the Public Examiner by which time the battery was completed, and remarkably well executed. After dinner the usual voltaic explosion of 201 b. of powder in the cold stream was exhibited, but the water was too low for the customary bridge practice. The Sand Modelling-hall was the next object of attraction. A front of Carnot's sptem was explained by Cadet Penny (one-eighth of an inch to a foot)—a front of the Prussian system (same scale), by Cadet Ward. Jebb's double sap (scale one inch to a foot) was explained by Cadet Prendergast--a sunken 4-gun battery (same scale), by Cadet Hills ; a very fine model of Mullygaum, a native Indian fort of great strength (scale quarter of an inch to a foot), with the attack carried on against it in 1818, was explained by Cadets Gordon and Fulford. The interest ing native fort of Nowa (scale half-inch to a foot), which was successfully attacked in 1819, was explained by Cadet Pitt. There was also a design for a sea coast battery exhibited. The execution of these various models was admirable. The drawings in this department were of the usual style. The gentlemen cadets obtained prizes for their military drawings. Subject. IST CLASS.

After the prizes were distributed, the CITAIRUAN addre- , sed the students. He said,—Although on several previous occasions we base had a grea t er number of cadets selected for the corps of Engineers, yet the reports which have come from the public examiners, as well as that made by the Lieutenant-Governor of the College, are so satisfactory, that upon the whole I have great pleasure, in the name of the directors of the East India Company, in tendering to you my best thanks for your conduct during this term. Your laudable exertions to take advantage of the different studies pursued here are highly satisfactory to us. To those gentlemen who have been selected for the corps of Engineers I would say, you are but at the beginning of your work. In fact, you have everything to learn, because as yet the foundation only islaid. But to all of you who may be qualified to server am happy to say there is no doubt your services will be required in India. It is a service deserving of every exertion to obtain. In India there is great room for engineers of talent, because now that peace has happily commenced there has also commenced the greatest amount of public works which were ever before under taken in that country. Therefore, talented engineers are sure to find plenty of employment, and I hope that tbose gentlemen who go to Chatham to complete their studies will do their utmost to qualify themselves, not only in military but in civil engineering, which is there taught under Colonel Jones. I can speak from eeperi epee, for having been myself a cadet in this institution, I found that the knowledge which I acquired here and at Chatham served me in good stead through the whole of my career. (Cheers.) We have lately heard by the Government mail of a remarkable work of engineering which has just been completed in India—thesGangee Canal, upwards of 900 miles in length, for the purposes of irrigation. I hope it will be the means of averting those famines which have hitherto frequently visited those parts of the country. The canal is a noble en gineering work, and I hope all the cadets appointed to the Artillery who now hear me will remember that this great work has been planned and carried out by an dB.. cer of the Royal Artillery. I mention this to show that, though your lot has been cast in the military line, yet that will not debar you from more purely scientific works, if you are duly qualified. (Applause.) There is also the electric telegraph, which has been erected in an incre dibly short space of time between Calcutta and Agra, and in a few months more it will reach to Peshavrur, to Bombay, and to Madras, thus securing instantaneous communication between all the presidencies of India. I may also mention another thing to show that now, when competition is the order of the day, you must exert your talents to the very utmost, for the Engi neers' Colle g e, which was established by the lat e Mr. Thomson, and which is called by his name, i s now attended both by natives and Europeans, who have evinced a talent ani industry and an application which it will require all your exertions to keep up with. (Applause) I beg you never to forget what an e xtraordinary thing it is that a handful of Europeans should govern such a vast terri tory as India. I refer to this because I think the re flection will lead you to see how incumbent it is upon each individual among you to uphold the character of England who, though inferior to tie in keen observers of character. phys im among strength, the natives , are yet y o u will find everything in that country different frog' this ; you will find yourself entirely abroad on your arrival. Therefore, without their language, you will not make yourself understood. I must warn yOll against allowing your faculties to go to sleep. Idlenejle is in all count r i es t o b e avo id e d ; in India it is peon* liarly so, because it alone is the cause of almost ()it'll other disorder. Be careful, therefore, to employ your time ; have something to employ your attention ; for in nine cases out of ten the man who puts his shoulder to the wheel, and determines to be something, is 15110 to succeed. (Applause.) I remember perfectly well of what use the corporals were in this instlto - I hope the Lieutenant-Governor still finds thsir assistance of great utility to him in maintaining disoi p; line. It ought to he, and I hope it is, the prid e of t o. corporals to receive the coegr atulations of t he IA . tenant-Governor, and if so, of the Court ofkr:_ac: ua r: also, for their assistance i n this arduous ta sk, f D be w without discipline you will never suc ceed twee a üblic llant offi ho ng c. t nnot obey will never command. The o th g e P • concluded by returning his than k s to and the professorp miner, to the Lieutenant-Governo r, oe y.

The Attorney-General is reported to haze said that there were above 100 papers which weekly of fended against the stamp laws, and that if be p ro secnted one he must prosecute all The Chancellor o f the Az• chequer said that the question as one of revenue was not 1 worthy of mention ; and, in fact, the matter has bbeset i left to the Home Secretary, who will soo n bring n a bill abolishing the penny stamp on nomspapers, exoept for postal purposes.—Liverpool Times. 4 -, 9_ 4DDISCOMBB; A public examination of the g entlemen cadets octe" lll44 at the East India Company's Military Seniinarytook place yesterday, in presence of the chairman, Major Oliphant, the deputy chairman, Mr. Eliot Macnaghten, several members of the Court of Directors, and a large number of visitors, among whom were Prince Gholam Mahomedt Prince Feroze Shah ; Lieutenant-Generals Sir John Burgoyne, G.C.8., Sir J.
