Inte, ease , that object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con set mences resulting from certain habits, irtegularities, and excesses, winch htv re produced more misery in youth, degradation in Man tic od, and premature decay at all stages of L ife, than, perhaps, any of her chits rof disease known to modern paibelog;sts Its perusal is p articular.dy recommended to persons entertaining secret t'aeir phy • tical condition, end who are conscious of havi doubts of ng hazarded the healt a, happiness, and privileges to whic h every human being is untitled. It is n'arolutely necessary that all men should know, that there are rine . ph a of personal management which cannot be violated without Ineurrir g grievous penalties , and when wisd o m and regret succeed the he} ?day of inc onsiderate self-indul g ence, how these penalties emoved, may be mitigated , how the sting of their bitterness may be r and he , v the evil and Its consequences maybe avoided, and above all, that th ire is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derang, anent to wh ich the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. TheAu tkor has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive practic c in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have nnfortcfnately teen too generally confided to the care of ignorant mpiri( 0, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith it i their pretensions.

They are all on parole, and permission will be granted for each officer to have his ser vant on shore with him, ho guaranteeing for the servant keeping his parole. Tho parole granted them at present is three miles around the towns there. Perry during his late trials commands alike the respect, and demands the thanks, of every lover of justice and hater of tyranny.. With you, I am of opinion that the scandalous verdict just pronounced against him by his military judges is disgraceful to all concerned in the metier; and the start ling fact that there should be found 15 men, holding com missions in about as many different regiments in her Ma jesty's service, who could come to such a disreputable con clusion, is a melancholy proof that there are others than the officers of the 46th Regiment who disgrace the name of gen tleman, however they may rank as such in the army. You, sir, have nobly and fearlessly done your duty by directing public attention to these infamous proceedings, and it now only remains for Englishmen to show, by their ready and friendly sympathy with this victim of military oppression, that they love and cherish the spirit of justice and honour. That a munificent subscription may speedily be collected for Mr. Perry, so as to render him independent of the cruelty of his enemies, now that he is "permitted" to quit the society of the ruffians of the 46th Regiment, is the hearty wish and sincere prayer of his sympathising friend, Norfolk, Sept. 6. WEST NORFOLK. LIEUTENANT PERRY.—Mr. J. Bedborough, the Mayor of Windsor, has been inundated with complimentary fetters enclosing subscriptions from all parts of the kingdom, and even from France, towards Lieutenant Perry's Defence and Testimonial Fund ; among some of the most recent date are Mr. W. Digby Seymour, enclosing 20/. ; Mr. Charles Dickens, 5/. ; Earl Fortescue, 101. ; Mr. G. 0, Higgins (County Mayo), 51.; Mr. Brinckman, St. Leo nard's, Wiudsor, 51., ,57,c. The subscription list already amounts to 5001. The verdict of the court-martial in this case being contrary to justice and common sense, it is ex pected that it will be set aside by the Court of Queen's Bench, before which tribunal it is said the matter will be brought in the course of a few days. Lieutenant Greer left Windsor yesterday for his mother's residence in Ireland, where she resides on a little freehold farm, consisting of about 100 acres, meadow and arable.' Mr. Greer now in tends to "tarn his sword into the ploughshare." The 46th Regiment /xis in hourly expectation of the route to march for the East. TEE RETURN OF THE FRENCH ARMY FROM BOMARSUND. The return of General Baraguay d'Hilliers and his army to France is an event which, in other times, would be startling. It now seems as if men had surrendered all care about the movements of their rulers, and there is scarcely any one to ask why the French troops have been recalled from the Baltic, after their only triumph, the insignificant affair of Bomarsund. _ Why they have been recalled we do not pretend. to say, although we may surmise. The fact is, however, that the French army has returned. It is said of a French monarch under the old regime, " The King of France, with fifty thousand men, Marched up the hill, and then marched down again." But we do not believe that Louis Napoleon is just the man either to send out his troops without an object, or recall them without reason ; .and we must seek for the explanation of the problem in something else than the passion for marching and couutermarching which distinguished the prede cessor.of the Emperor of the French. It is quite plain that there remained nothing to be done in the Baltic in which the French Emperor believes that his troops could win glory in being engaged. If we were in earnest in the war with Russia this could not be the case. The truth we believe to be, that Louis Napoleon has wiihdrawn his troops be cause he would not permit them to be condemned to the inaction to which the policy of Lord Aber deen is so fatally consigning the military and naval armaments of England. It may be said that Bomarsund being taken, the object of the Baltic expedition is achieved. The first and most obvious answer to this is, that which is worth taking is worth keeping. Tho troops, who in the middle of a war desert a conquest, emphati cally declare that their conquest is worthless. But there is another and a better answer. The import ance of the possession of Aland has been as absurdly overrated w has been the achievement of its cap ture as a military operation. The chief value of that capture was that it had neither brilliancy nor difficulty to make it splendid. It had little glory 'because it was easy. But the easiness of the victory added to its real significance what it took from its glory. The real importance of the fall of Bomar . suml was, that it conclusively proved that the granite fortresses of Russia were not granite at all. At all events, they were granite which tumbled into a confused mass of rubble masonry before the cannonade of our ships. But the granite of Bo marsund is the granite of Cronstadt, and once its material was thus tested, the capital of Russia was at the mercy of the allies, we cannot say without striking a blow, but literally without receiving one. Bomarsund was battered down at long range, and the casualties of the assailantsare all to be set down to the accidents that attend the handling of their own guns. The path to St. Petersburg was open. Why is no attempt made to enter on it ? Why are the French army recalled? Shame, shame to England ! We must seek the cause in the pusillanimity of our councils. These brave troops were brought home because our cowardly policy had left them nothing to do. That this is the real secret of the withdrawal of the French army a very short time, if we mistake not, will distinctly reveal. No one will tell us that army was sent merely to take a subordinate part in this miserable victory of Bomarsund. It fol lows, then, that the purpose for which they were sent out is not accomplished. They return home without doing their work—through whose fault ? This is the question that the people of England must ask. 1.- . _ _ _ . The more the withdrawal of the French army is reflected on, the more serious will it appear as an 1 indication of the policy that governs the conduct of the war. It is very hard to believe that it is not withdrawn in something very like disgust. At all events, it is withdrawn without accomplishing the plan of campaign to carry out which it was sent. What was the obstacle to its being carried out ? The obstacle was not in the Russian fortresses; they were infinitely more yielding than was expected. Where, then, was the obstacle ? It was in Eng. land !—in the Cabinet of Queen Victoria !—in the ministers who first tried to prevent a war, and, since the nation have forced it, have done all in their power to retard the movements and paralyse ' the exertions of our navies and armies. Lord Aberdeen it is who has driven home the French army from the Baltic. The Emperor of Russia could well afford to part with Bomaraund while he retains Lord Aberdeen. His true strength is in Downing-street, and he will give ten of his best fortresses to save the First Lord of the Trea sury. Without the chivalry of James, the Czar might adopt his language, and apply it to the ministerial existence of his hoary friend— " My fairest earldom would I give To bid Clan Alpine's chieftain live." While Aberdeen is Prime Minister the capture o Aland costs the Emperor but little concern. Better have Bomarsund battered down and Aberdeen Pre mier, than have the allies beaten back and an honest man at the head of English affairs. The re pulse of the attack on Bomarsund would not have driven the French army away from the Baltic. The success of that attack has. There is a Pene lope that sits in the British council chamber, and the dark intrigues of the night undo all that is accomplished by the noon-day valour of our soldiers and sailors. How long this is to last we know not. Perhaps the Emperor of Russia does. For verily it would seem he has much more share in the direction of our English councils than the public opinion of England. Who would have thought, when we were exulting over the demolition of Bomarsund, that its only effect would be to drive back the French troops ? When the cannon of the Invalides thun dered their salvos at Paris Russia perfectly under stood that the guns were those of a retreat. Happy Lord Aberdeen, who can make the de feats of Russia the instruments of her highest suc cesses. Bomarsund falls, and Lord Aberdeen manages that its fall shall drive tho French army home. The Russian army is driven from Silistria, and the friendly forces of Austria occupy the Prin cipalities. Let Sebastopol be but taken, and we may expect that it will be the signal for the realisation of all that• Russia has over asked.— Morning Herald. „ ..,,,. .•' . . .., .. ... -,....-...,..,;...: - ‘ , ••. • • , •‘,...4l`,,Pff s '‘ .----- 11j .

'''' THE WAR NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. The Royal Albert, 121, screw, yesterday, at high water hauled out of the graving dock at Sheerness, into the basin, and is lying now under the sheers in t e d hockyard ; her internal fitting s are fast completing. We underst,nd steam will be got up without delay, to ascertain how her engines work. The machinery in all departments is nforow nearly finished ; s he will then proceed to Portsmouth volunteers, and take in her stores ; her rudder will be shipped to-day. It was unshipped in consequence of there not being sufficient room for her to lie in the graving dock with it hung. The St. Vincent, 101, and Stromboli, 6, paddle, Comman der Hall, arrived yesterday morning at Spithead from Sheer ness. The St. Vincent is reported to have several cases of cholera on board. She will dispose of her sick, and after wards go into harbour to resume her duties as ordinary guard-ship. Stromboli had been ordered into harbour to instantly refit for further service, but a telegraphic message sent her off instantly to the eastward, as well as the Fire Queen, Master Com mander F. W. Paul, probably to help the Royal William to Brest. The Algiers, 91, screw, Captain Talbot, Sheerness.—The dockyard authorities have visited this ship, and have ascertained that there is room enough for her to go i n to the graving dock. Her machinery appears to be defective, and will require many repairs previous to her being considered sea-wortby. The principal defects appears to exist in the end of the screw-shaft con. nectiug with the screw, and air-pump valves, together with many minor deficiencies, that require immediately being perfected before going to sea. The few invalids she has brought home have been forwarded to the Chatham Hospital. One marine died on the passage. This vessel, notwithstanding the defects in machinery, has only five engineers—that is, including the chief the , Mr. Denc y ownie, w me - ho has used every exert ion to make up defici of chanics in that department. The Inconstant, 36, fitted as an hospital ship for Cork, was towed out of Devonpor t harbour on Thursday, by )tire Confiance and Pike, and s ailed direct, in charge of . Thomas, master of the Impregnable, and a party of seamen from the Calcutta. She had a fine breeze and fair wind, and may be expected at Cork by this time. The Termagant, 24, Capt. the Hon. Keith Stewart, was taken into the steam basin atPortsmouth yesterday to com plete a few repairs and adjustments of m fr her machi Sheernneess ry. has Tho screw steam storeship Supply, o , sailed with shot and shell for Varna. The barque Fingal , Capt. D ankin, 141. days from Laun ceston, Van Diemen's Land , for London, passed off Ply mouth on Thursday morning. The frigate Indefatigable entered Plymouth Sound yes terday morning. APPOINTMENTS. Vice-Admiral Dundas, C. 8., Commander-in -Chief of the British Fleet in the Black Sea, has selected Lieut. J. 'V. Douglas M‘Donald, at present serving as gunnery lieute nant of the Britannia, 120, flagship on the Black Sea sta tion, to be his flag lieute nant, vice Chambers, promoted. Lieutenant George Durbin (1546), from the Coastguard to the Cur:lva, 30, screw steam-frigate at Portsmouth. Acting Assistant -Engineers of the third-class John West, Edward Connor, John Birch Laud, Daniel M`Wil liam, John Henderson, and Henry Alphonse Henri have been appointed to the fleet. Acting Assistant -Surgeon—Thomas Roche (1851), to the Curacoa. THE GUNBOATS. The Snake, the sixth launched of the screw steam-de spatch gun-boats, immediately after being launched, was taken to Johu Penn and Sons' wharf at Deptford to have her engines put on board. The Pelter, one of the light draught gun-boats, having had her engines put on board, has been taken to Northfleet to be made ready for service. THE COLOSSUS—THE SCREW PROPELLER. The Colossus, 81, screw, Captain Robinson, will receive her crew from the hulk in Portsmouth Harbour on Monday. She has been fitted with Mr. W. W. Bonney's patent gutta-percha speaking tubes from the poop netting to the engine-room, from the poop netting to the knight heads, from before the inizen, too, tubes are carried to each deck at fore and aft quarters for gunnery orders. These tubes have met the approval not only of the captain and officers of the Colossus, but also of the whole of the dockyard officers. They were officially tried yesterday by the patentee and the official staff of the dockyard, and they were found to transmit all orders in a full natural tone, quite to the surprise, as well as the gratification of all present, although some of the tubes were above 200 feet long, with very tortuous leads. The ships already fitted with this invention are the Royal George, 120; James Watt, 91; Algiers, 91 ; Nile, 91; Exmouth, 91; Hannibal, 91; Malacca, 17 ; Royal Albert, 121 (now fitting) ; the Cossack, 36 ; the Curlew, 8 ; the Curacoa, 31 ; the Harrier, 16 ; the Swallow, 8 ; and the Termagant, 24, will most probably be fitted, their commanders having requested to have the tubes applied to their vessels. THE RUSSIAN PRISONERS. The Royal William, 120, Capt. Kingcome, arrived in the Downs, from the Baltic, at nine o'clock on Thursday even ing, and remained there till yesterday morning, when she proceeded down Channel with a fresh easterly wind, having received orders to proceed to Brost with the Rus- ROYAL ARTILLERY. ______-_ F OR SEPTEMBER AND FOLLOWING M O.NT llS.—The newly-invented rA LETO r, which owes its existence exclusively to the Establishment of E.

The Algiers, 91, screw, Captain Charles Talbot, ran into Sheerness Harbour yesterday at three p.m., and dis ehasged the 450 prisoners, together with seven women and five children, on board the Benbow, her Majesty's prison-ship. Only one prisoner died on the passage. The Sphinx, steam-sloop, at Sheerness, Captain Wm. J. C. Clifford, arrived at 8 p.m. yesterday, from the Downs, with Russian prisoners brought home in the St. Vincent. The following Russian officers arrived by the Sphinx :—Lieut. Niketin, Commissaries Tverskoj and .Perhinsky ; Ensigns Dalin, Groteufelt, Backman, and Leistedt ; with 251 soldiers, all Russians : also the under mentioned Finnish officers :—Major Grahn, Captain von Essen, Captain Spellman, Lieutenants Hook, Dalin, Grotanfelt, and Bollfras ; also 122 Finnish soldiers, 10 wives of soldiers and three children, making a total of 345. The Sphinx left Ledsund on the 20th ult. in com •th Commodore G re y 's s q uadron ; on the same day pany tonic the Royal William in tow, and towed her into a fair wind off tho island of Gothland, then proceeded to Elsinore to coal ; left Elsinore on the 23th ult., and took the St. Vincent iu tow the same evening. She anchored off Foreness on the 31st. On the Ist inst. received the in telligence of the death of Captain Mansell, caused by a diseased heart, after eight days' illness; same day took the St. Vincent in tow, kept her in tow until the 4th, towing her through the Great Belt. On casting off, the following melancholy accident occurred :—At about ten p.m. Captain Clifford was standing on the starboard side of the upper deck between the after sponson bollard timber and the mainmast, the 14-inch towing hawser being passed round the mainmast from the turns on the alter bollard, in consequence of the foremast bollard in the after sponson having been carried away on towing the St. Vincent on her outward passage to the Baltic, which prevented them getting proper turns over the two bol lards for security. On Captain Clifford giving the order to veer away the hawser from off the mast, the end with a sudden jerk ran round the mast and struck him across both his legs just below his knees; he fell to the deck, and upon the surgeon examining him after he was placed in his cabin, it was found that both legs bad received simple fractures. A seaman, named James Brooks, who was standing near the captain, received a slight contusion on his left foot. We are happy to say ho is going on very favourably under the medical care of the surgeon, Mr. John C. Sabben. On the day after the accident she took the St. Vincent in tow, and anchored in the Downs on the 6th inst. On the 7th the St. Vincent tranfcrred her prisoners into the Sphinx and Janus, and they arrived at Sheerness on the Bth at 8 p.m. with the Janus—the Janus having the following officers and men prisoners on board, all of whom have been put on board the Benbow prison ship (under charge of the Commander and officers of the Devonshire, assisted by Lieutenant Everest) :—C. Kerman, surgeon of the Artillery Company in the forts at Bomarsund ; 132 Russian soldiers, 9 women, and 13 children ; 20 of these prisoners were convicts des tined for Siberia, but sent to Bomarsund to assist in work ing the guns in the principal fort. They are reported to be most depraved characters, and have been condemned to Siberia, many of them for murders, and others for detest able crimes, and many of the latter have undergone the first part of their sentences by being unconditioned as men for their future lifetime by the Emperor's order. The Sphinx was commissioned on the 24th of May. She con veyed and landed French troops at Bomarsund, and took a very prominent part in the bombardment of the forts at that place. Generally speaking the crew have been very healthy, thanks to the continued and prompt attention of Dr. Sabben, who has been indefatigable in his watchful ness over every officer toms, and man, as need required, in check ing the premo nitor y symp by which actual cholera has been kept in check throughout the ship. Strange to say, three fresh cases, of a very virulent nature, broke out am ong the prisoners just as they were being put on board the Devonshire yesterday. Yesterday, at 2 p.m., Captain Lord Frederick Kerr, Flag-Captain to the Commander-in-Chief, came on board the Devonshire, and informed them that their application for subsistence -money had been granted, and that the Admiralty had oat an order down to the Conunander-in- The men of the Royal Artillery returned unfit for ser vice assembled at the Ordnance Hospital, Woolwich, yes terday, at 9 a.m., and were medically inspected by the surgeons of the division to which they are attached. Sixty fine horses for the field batteries arrived in Wool wich garrison on Thursday, having been purchased by Lieutenant• Colonel Wingfield in Yorkshire, and sent up to head-quarters for exercise in their new employment. THE DISEASE ON BOARD THE HANNIBAL. SHEERNESS, Sept. B.—By a letter from the Hannibal, whilst in the Downs, we have a melancholy account of the continued disease and deaths in her up to the time of the letter being written. The writer says : " We do not know on board how long we shall remain here, as it is repolted we are to perform quarantine ; even if it is so, it will most likely be for a few days. God knows we have had sickness enough on board the Hanni bal to deserve quarantine. I would not in my other letters sent you, my dear wife, alarm you and the children with the truth, but now that we are comparatively speaking free from sickness, I can tell you some of our misfortunes. The day after we left Calais the small-pox broke out amongst the troops on board; a few days after, typhus fever appeared amongst all hands ; then cholera came on top of all, so that we had three horrible and contagious diseases at one and the same time. Well, after the French troops were landed, the remains of disease left on board were partly blown away by our leaving the anchorage where our division of the fleet was laying, and cruising about outside the Sound; then, when the forts of Aland 1 were stormed and taken, the Russian prisoners refused to deliver themselves up to the French, and so we had to take them aboard of us. They had not been on board an hour when two of them died from malignant cholera, so there we were again. We have been cruising about for the last eighteen days, and I think if the deaths had not at last diminished, the commodore would not have got home yet, as we all believe he was anxious that no deaths should oc cur for a few days before arriving. However, I believe he will be out in his calculations, for there is one of the prisoners who is now nearly at his last gasp. Poor fellows, they suffer dreadful. We have indeed had death stalking through our ship, and no mistake. We have buried seven of a day, and have had from 180 to 200 on the sick list, all slung in hammocks on the lower deck. From the gun-room door to the foremast bitts the hammocks and cots were slung, some four and some six deep. lam thus particular, as I have no doubt some me_ counts of our goings on have appeared in the newspapers. We hear on board that the fleet in the Black Sea have also suffered severely, and also that cholera is prevalent at home ; but you can have no idea of the little we know of what is authentic. Some say we go to Sheerness, some to the Motherbank. Wo are all for the first ; the other is a yellow flag station ; but I shall not close this until I know that something decisive is to take place. All I know is, that we are now riding here with forty-five fathoms of chain out. We have only a few tons of coals on board, and only a fow days' supply of other necessaries. How ever, anything can be got here on the shortest notice. There is a steam-boat alongside waiting orders, and if we go to the westward she will take invalids to Chatham Melville Hospital. "We are off to the westward. Orders have just been given to the purser, we find, to supply slops for Ote sick going to hospital. The anchor is now being hove up; we are off—we do not know where —steering rest, with a fino E.S.E. wind for us. I must tell you our third lieutenant, the Hon. O.W. M. Lambert, is sent to Deal Hospital amongst the invalids. From the time the ship left Calais to her return to the Downs he has been an invalid, and the greater part of the time confined to his cot. There is no doubt he will be invalided. He has been, and is still, suffering from internal abscess." ARRIVALS' AT MALTA. A letter from Malta, dated Sept. 2, says : " The only arrival of troops since my last was by the Golden Fleece on the 27th ult., on which day she came into port, having on board Lieutenant-Colonel Ainslie ; Majors Stuart and Lord West (Likut.-Colonel); Captains Haines (Lieut.-Colonel), Hon. J i L. Browne, Kirkland, ar Dalyell, Boldero, Legh , and Finley: ? Lieutenants Steward, Aldridge, Templeman, Sheffield, leton, Clarke, King, Dunne, Hurt, Killeen , and Ima ; Second Lieutenants Clarke, Stephens, Beaumont , an Lee; Ensigns St. Clair and Fowler (Adjutant); Paymaster Hawker, Quarter master Cassidy, Surgeon M`Kinnon, M.D. ; Assistant __ _ . . — . Surgeons Greer, West, M.D. ; and Patrickson; Commis sariat officers Goold, Brinden, Foslung, and Watkins. 974 rank and file of the 21st Fusiliers, and 14 horses. " All the men landed ex Medway are now fully recovered from the cholera, and have beet released from the quaran tine to which they were subjected. " The portion of the outward India mail, via Marseilles, reached Malta on the 30th, and the bulk by the Tagus on tho day following. " Mr. Wotton, a gentleman from the Peninsular and Oriental Company's-office in London, reached this island per Tagus, to assume the duties of the company's superin tendent here vice Captain Lindquist, superseded. " The Tagus proceeded to Alexandria yesterday. " Our news from the East that reached by the French mail is very meagre. It may be summed up in the one pas sage, that the army, well provisioned and supplied with all necessaries for the expedition, has embarked in high spirits for the Crimea, and was to leave on the Ist (yester day) for its destination. " Lord John Hay goes from the Wasp to the Fury, and Commander Chambers to the Wasp." _ The Malta Mail, under date of Constantinople, Aug.2s, says : " By the French mail-boat, which arrived here on 31st ult., news has reached from Varna to the 25th. " Three steam-ships were lying off Sebastopol to watch proceedings, and it seems tolerably certain that not more than 41,000 Russians are in the Crimea. . ------ "The cholera, after committi ng -fearful ravagos both in the army and navy of the allies, is abating rapidly. The French have suffered more severely than the English , although our loss has been f ar f rom trifling. Among the names of the staff officers that have been reported as vic tims, in addition to those already made public, are Lieu tenant-Colonel Ainslie, 93d , an d L i eu t enan t-C o lonel Treve lyan, Coldstream Guards ; and Lieutenant-Colonel Doyle, Assistant-Adjutant-Gener a l on the stuff of Sir R.

The following letters have been addressed to the editor of the Times : SIR, —Under what species of hallucination the Com wander-m-Chief was ind uce d to rat i fy t h e ex t raor di na ry sentence on Lieutenant Perry it i s difficult, no doubt, to co nceive. Is it possible that h e cons id ere d that were Lieu tenant Perry acquitted, DA only would the 46th Regiment stand undeniably condemned, but the reputation of the whole army would be co mpromised, and so was led to sacrifice an innocent person to avoid unpleasant con sequences to many ? Two things are now imperative— some means or other must be instantly d ev ised by which the military profession may b e purged of the odious scan dals which hav e made it to sti n k i n all undefiled nostrils ; and a substitute must be found for such a mockery of justice and satire on honour as the Windsor tribunal has now finally proved a court-martial to be. Perhaps it would he best to appeal first to the Cr own. We have had a good ma ny Royal commissions—a commission on sewers, for example, with a blue-book on v ar i ous kinds of filth ; let us now ask for a commission on barracks, with a blue-book on the causes of the pernicious atmosphere lately revealed to exist in certain officers' quarters. Then let regulations be issued for the immediate purification of the said quar ters from all un wholesome influences, the presence or un clean bodies , refuse characters, a nd the like ; and, lastly, let th e us s cagvul if we may, a moral board o f h ea lth, a w i se, ex perienced,ti aand just tribunal, to t r y a ll o ff en d ers against ons. Surely if we can a b a t e th e v i rulence of ceho Lave, by sanitary precautions, wo can do a little, by the same sort of care for cleansing and due ventilation, towards preventing barrack rooms from becoming the nuclei of moral infection. As for justice towards offend ers, we have not much difficulty about that in civil mat ters—why should we make out selves contemptible by such blundering in our military courts? Setting aside the case of Mr. Perry, as a specimen of court-martial ad ministration take the totally incomprehensible award in that of Lieutenant Greer—" Acquitted, but ordered to sell out !" In the name of common sense, how is this ? On what principles is a prisoner acquitted and punishment awarded to him in one breath ? Verily, this military judge and jury is worthy to be held in everlasting remem bran,:e, and let thorn have a niche, Sir, in the Valhalla of w i seacres by the side of that celebrated jury of Milesians who pronounced the prisoner not guilty, with a recommen dation not to do it again.—l remain, Sir, your obedieni servant, Sept. 6.

A gentleman connected with the fraternity of millers, whose name, for obvious reasons, we refrain from men- Coning, attended before Alderman Farebrother, at the Guildhall, yesterday, with the following communication relative to the fat a l ep id emic which is at spread ing its devastatin g present er e - edi influence sa et nc flour pai e nr ai o lta v iBn e b4g r o2nhtdhe, every epaufnrrd p ecs ahwhratehsfresher of tde from tastingahe l large rt ghee ilttruofaponortlii:ty.h eo H f p e u o r l d p s t o n f s o t staler, both he and his men were seized with sickness and excessive salivation, accompanied with disordered bowels. He tried some of the same old flour in his own family, and the co nsequence was that three of his chil drenn were seized with violent purgings and sickness, as in the case of cholera, w hi c h di sease soon after made its appearance in London. After attentively watching its progress, he was conv i nce d i t arose from the consumption of old bread-stuffs, and he accordingly determined not to supply any old fl our t o his customers The result proved that not one of them had the cholera, even in its most incipient stage, although exposed to the same disadvantages in other respects as those around them, who were daily falling victims to this sad malady. He wrote to Sir Robert Peel, who was then Prime Mini . ster, and his letter was referred to the Board of Health, who granted him an interview, bat as he was not a medical man they merely listened to him, and there the matter ended. On one occasion he became aware that a quantity of stale wheat was about being shipped from London to Leeds, and he foretold that if that corn was allowed to reach its destination the cholera would follow in its wake. Within 15 days after the cholera broke out in Leeds with great virulence. He said that in all the Russian wars against Turkey and Poland the cholera bad always accompanied the armies of either country when traversing navigable rivers ; and in the war of independence in Poland, when news arrived that Warsaw was short of provisions and had surrendered, he prognosticated that the cholera would visit that part, because he knew that War saw would have to draw upon the same old stores that had previously given to the Russians that disease. The visitation did come, attended with the most calamitous results. He did not complain of five or seven years old wheat ! He alluded to that which was received in the above countries in lieu of money for taxes, and which was stored in warehouses for 1.5 or 20 years without see ing daylight. It was remarkable that cholera rarely ap peared during years of plenty; and in India, when failures of the rice crops produced a scarcity of food, the old stores were ransacked, and, as a matter of course, the cholera commenced its ravages. In 1849, when cholera again visited London, and the armistice between Den mark and Holstein removed the embargo on corn-laden ships bound for London, he wrote to the Board of Health, anticipating a supply of fresh corn, to say that ono of the causes of cholera was about to be removed, and that there would be an abatement of the disease of 100 per cent. in twelve days. The subsequent returns issued by that body showed an abatement exceeding his calculations, fully establishing it as a fact, that as soon as the new wheat got into consumption the cholera de creased, and ultimately disappeared. He condemned the practice of abstaining from fresh vegetables and fruit, because it led to an increased consumption of bad bread-stuff. He said the disease was more general near navigable rivers or watercourses, where the import of the stale corn takes place, and is warehoused, because the consumption was greater in such localities, the ex pense of carriage preventing its being sent far inland. The disease more frequently showed itself in large insti tutions, such as prisons, unions, and emigrant ships, where cheapness was the chief object in their contracts for brew]. It was only when fresh corn became so scarce as to make a great difference in the price, and nearly the whole trade were tempted to resort to the old stores, that the cholera attacked the higher circles, where there was neither want of cleanliness nor over-crowded habita tions to generate or aid the disease. When the cholera was raging at Newcastle-on-Tyne, he went down there to prevail upon the authorities to try the experiment of oatmeal or some other substitute for bread in the union or prison, but without success, as the general opinion was that cholera proceeded from want of cleanliness, notwithstanding the disease continued unabated after the town was cleansed and purified, and it did not diminish until the corn market introduced a supply of fresh_ corn. He was satisfied if new wheat was tried to the exclusion of the old, in any place where the cholera existed, that the disease would not only be stopped immediately, but that ' no new case would appear aster twelve hours; and in case of failure, he would willingly pay every expense attending the experiment. He concluded by observing that he should be happy to furnish every information and assistance to any scientific gentleman who would take up the matter, and would show in what manner old wheat may act, through the animalculm it contains, to generate cholera. Alderman Farebrother asked the gentleman what he wished him to do on the subject ? The Gentleman said his object in coming forward was not for any personal gain, but to avert a great national calamity, which he thought might be done if inspectors were appointed for the corn markets, the same as for the dead meat markets, with power to seize all wheat offered for sale that was unfit for human food. Alderman Farebrother said it was the duty of the Legislature to appoint inspectors if deemed requisite, and if they declined to do so, the magistrates had no power to interfere ; but he thought that any one offering for sale corn that was unfit for human food would be liable to the same penalties as the vendors of bad meat. The gentleman then thanked the alderman for his kind attention, and after expressing a hope that the press would give publicity to his statement he retired. • '4' PUBLICATIONS.
