The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con- Sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, Which have proauced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any other etas, 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 I entitled.

They also adopted a resolution empowering Mr. Grant, the Editor, to incur any amount of expenditure which may be deemed necessary in securing the very highest order of Literary Talent and procuring the earliest Political aid Commercial Intelligence. The Moarmso, ADVERTISER, there. fore, with the vast resources now placed at the Editor's disposal, has before it the prospect of even a more brilliant career than has cha racterised it during the last four years of its existence, in which period it has risen in circulation with a rapidity which has no parade' in the history, of the Daily Press. Its present relative position to that of the other Morning Papers, omitting the Times, will be seen from the Official Stamp Returns for the year 1853. THE REINFORCEA; 1..:\ TS.

Regiment of Infantry (750 strong), and the 4th company of the 6th battalion of Artillery. The former is to be landed at Gibraltar, to occupy the garri son there, to relieve portions of the 17th and 80th Regiments, ordered to. the - Crimea, and which will take passage by the Tamar, while thclArtillerY will proceed direct .to Balaklava after tottating_at-filibraltar. The - Artillery consists of 130 men and ftrar ofkcers. The Tamar will probably rv ,-.41 Gibialfar in four or five days ; one day will suffice for landing the 66th Regiment, and' kr the embarcation of the other troops, and the.run thence - to the Crimea will probably occupy from eight to ten days. The Tamar has on board a number of can vas tents, valifies tent poles, p ac k sa ddl es, spa d es and shovels, biles of blankets, and other military stores. A laige number of persons assembled in the docks to wit ness the departure of these troops, and heartily cheered them during their march from the railway to the' docks on Friday morning. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamship Nubia, Captain Ha rr i s , sailed from Southampton on Saturday afternoon for Toulon, there to take _on board 1,200 French troops for the Crimea. The West India Mail Company's steam ship Magdalena, 2750 tons and 800-horse power," 'due at Southampton on the Ist of December for the West Indies, has been Chartered by the Government for the transport service and is to be got ready for sea without delay immediately on her arrival. The steamer Iberia, belonging to th e P en i nsu l ar an d O r i en t a l Com pany, leaving Southampton this day with the Peninsular mails, is to take out a detachme it of artillery for Gibral tar. The screw steamers Norman and John Bowes have been taken up by the Government for the conveyance of stores from' Southampton to the Black Sea. About 2,000 tons have to be despatched from that port, most of which will consist of frames and other fittings of the wooden houses intended for the winter quarters of the British army in the Crimea.

MOSES and SON'S 'ESTABLISMENTS will be CLOSED at EIGHT O'CLOCK EVERY EVENING, except Saturday, when they will be open until 11 o'clock. For the future all troops for foreign service that can conveniently do so are to embark 'from Portsmouth, as the facilities of that port for the embarkation of large bodies of troops are pronounced much superior to those of any of the commercial ports. Major Cole 17th depot, has returned from leave of absence to make atragemsrnts for forming his draught of 200 men, to join the 17th Regiment, for service in the Crimea. Captain Coltharst has also returned from leave of absence. The draught expects to leave Kilkenny next ' week, and to sail from Cork on the let of December in the Clyde steamer. A large number of volunteers from other regiments )xave arrived in Kilkenny to join the 17th depot for service in the East. Considerable excitement prevails among the military in Plymouth garrison owing to.the number of volunteers offering.from the West Somerset Militia. Recruiting sergeants are on duty from the 13th, 20th, 34th, 40th, and 46th Regiments, and from the Plymouth division of Royal Marines. The last is the favourite, but as their standard is 5 feet 61 inches, while that of the 40th and other regiments is only 5 fret CI ; inches, the numbers entering are restricted. However, the " Jollies" have obtained about 100, the 40th 80 men, and the 18th 40 ; the others have not been very successful. 13 of the South Devon Militia stationed at Devonport went to the Ma rines' head-quarters on Saturday, and a considerable number are expected there after parade to-day (Monday). The stature of the South Devon Militia is, on an average, less than the West .Somerset.

The regiment has lately left Corfu for the Crimea and the draught of the depot to follow the head quarters will consist of a major; four subalterns, a doc tor, three sergeants, and 120 rank and file. Great enthusiasm prevails among the militia in gar rison at Portsmouth to volunteer for service in the field, and upwards of 100 have gone into the Marines alone since the circular appeared. OUR CAVALRY REINFORCEMENTS. We understand that Lord George Paget (whose light cavalry exploits on the 25th of October will net soon be forgotten) is on his way home to superintend the preparations for cavalry reinforcements.

State policy is not to be influenced by merely sentimen tal considerations, else one might well imagine that the descendant of a line founded by a hero which has ever known how to draw the sword when danger menaced could not read without burning shame the tale of the struggle waged against such fearful odds for a cause the righteous ness of which he has emphatically asserted, in which he above all men is deeply interested, and which he above all men is bound by every feeling of honour, consistency, and self-respect to support. " Why lie I here, like a bed-ridden monk," said Ivanhoe, " while the game on which depends my life and death is played out by the haudsof others?" The game on which hangs Austria's political exist ence is being played out by England and France before Sebastopol, and Austria stands at the case ment, like Rebecca, the Jewess, behind her shield, a trembling and impotent spectatress of a drama in which she seems resolved to have no part except the catastrophe. Is it nothing to Austria that the conflict now going on should be 'decided in favour of either of the combatants, to each-of whom she secretly lends support, and eacirof whom she has mortally offended f We do not pretend to overlook or misundeistand the policy on which Austrian statesmen profess to act. They avow the policy of selfishness, but they forget that selfishness is isola tion, and iat Austria cannot afford to be isolated. It is thought a masterstroke of policyto have occupied the Danubian Principalities with the consent of one party, and without incurring the immediate hostility of the other, and thus, as it is said, to have secured to Austria the prize about which the East and West are contending. It is thought to have been a master stroke of policy to allow the other three great Powers to wear each other out by an exter minating conflict, and thus, as the result of every battle and every campaign, to make Austria rela tively, if not absolutely, stronger ; and, finally, when the weary belligerents shall make peace, to secure for Austria so great a preponderance in the councils of Europe as to enable her to take to her self what portion she pleases of the spoils of war. To enjoy during war all the advantages of peaCe, and to gain on the return of peace all the advantages of successful war—what policy can be more subtle, more far-sighted, or more profound ? We have not, we think, understated the case which may be made in favour, of that double policy in pursuit of which Austria made public profession of her sympathy with the Allied Powers after their first victory, and then prevented a diversion in their favour which might have enabled them to reap that victory's fruits. Russia will not forget nor forgive the congratulations on the Alma, nor England and France the policy which has concen trated on their armies the forces which, but for Austria, would have been occupied in a hopeless campaign among the pestilential swamps of the Danube or the deadly marshes of the Dobrudscha. One condition of the success of the game which Austria is playing is, that at the close of the present contest neither of the belligerents should be in a condition to give effect to their dis pleasure: Let Austria weigh well her own posi tion, as compared with that of those great Powers whom she has thus mortally offended. It has been the tradition of European policy to main tain the Austrian empire, first as a bulwark against the Turks, and next as a defence against Russia. Austria has been the spoilt child of. European _diplomacy, the favourite of conferences and con gresses—an empire made up of dowries, appanae 4 es, and donations.. Hence she is composed of the most heterogenous elements of races, held together by the merest vis inertice, each kept down by the rest, and performing in its turn this duty to its neighbours—each more strongly attracted to some foreign State than to that of which it is a reluctant federate. Hungary leans to Russia, Italy to France, and the Slavonian provinces own but slight sympathy and give but doubtful allegiance to their German masters. Such are the constituent parts of Austria, while England, France, and Russia, though differing widely in e-verythipretee„ agree nr - feastin - enis---thatkibl 'aro nations pos sessed of national feoling and spirit, with a popu lation speaking the same language, organised under the same institutions—that they form, in fact, each a complete whole, which nobody dreams of being able to disintegrate ; while Austria can hardly keep down the centrifugal force which is driving every province to fly off from the rest. For such a country firm allies are absolutely needed, and firm allies can only be secured by a policy of honest and energetic consistency. Austria greatly deceives herself if she thinks that the consideration she has received is a tribute to her strength. In the in terests of peace and order, in a spirit of forbearance and conciliation, England and France have ab stained from raisinr , questions to th e s o l u ti on o f which Austria can hardly b remain indifferent. How long will this state of things last, and when it ter minates what resistance can Austria, disjointed and disorganised, offer to a serious 'attack, or where is she to seek for an ally ? Let the storm come from what quarter it will, Austria will be found isolated without and divided within. Who would stir 'in defence of a Power which has betrayed every one in turn, and which seems to have been placed be tween the belligerents expressly to compensate with a province or two the loser for his losses ? The frontier of Austria towards Russia is a mere geographical line, and, should it ever be the will of the Czar to celebrate a Te Deunt in the Church of St. Stephen, lie will find Western Europe and Northern Germany attentive and not unedified auditors, and Italy and Hungary lending their voices to the chorus. Nor is this the only danger. Two previous visits have made the French eagles perfectly well acquainted with the road to Vienna, whether it be sought by Austerlitz or by Eckmuhl. These things were done while Austria had Russia for an ally. Have they become impos sible now ? How many sparks from a French cor poral's pipe would it require to set Italy iu a blaze from one end to the other, and what prospect would there be of a reconquest of Lombardy, with France and England instead of the small kingdom of Piedmont to conduct the war ? When Austria measures herself against the great Powers, she must not forget that wherever her enemies appear they may count on the support of her own sub jects. She is in the most imminent danger of be coming a second Poland, and affording, by her dismemberment, an indemnification for that war which she fondly thinks is being carried on for her exclusive advantage. We have no wish for this consummation. We have no other than a sentimental interest in making Venice a free port, and thus blighting in the bud the fortunes of Trieste. But wn have an enormous interest in the success of our present operations. Give us time, and we can place any number of men required in face of the Russians ; but for the mo ment our armies are oppressed by superior num bers, while Austria sits complacently by with five hundred thousand men at her disposal, and watches our efforts and our sufferings with cold and callous indifference. This it is allowed her to do now ; but let her be assured that the opportunity is great and fleeting, and that if she allows us to struggle alone through our present difficulties she will have united the vanquished and victorious in one thought—the desire of vengeance on a Power so specious, so timid, and so perfidious. (From the Morning Herald.) " The taking of Sebastopol is now a question of secondary importance ! !" "If the siege be not given up, it is at least at a stand still." Such were the announcements with which the Minis terial organ must have astounded its readers in the course and at the close of last week, if the readers of the great i m posture which performs in his country the part of the Mormouitp leader in America, and shows that human nature in all countries is capable of any amount of delu sion, could be astounded at anything with whic h the great Joe Smith of Printing-house-square chooses to adorn his columns. If the above statements be correct—and much we fear they are perfectly so—what do they mean ? They mean this, that 20,000 English troops—the best and bravest soldiers that do, or ever did, exist upon the face of the earth—hare been sacrificed for nothing. The landino . at Eupatoria, the battle of the Alma, the march to Baleaklava, the three weeks' bombardment and unceasing cannonade, the work in the trenches, the suf fering, the exposure, the decimation of the army—what were they all for ? If not for the taking of Sebastopol they were for nothing ; and now it appears that the siege is at a stand-still, and, above all, that it has become a matter of " secondary importance." it is too true—second, in deed, to the necessity of saving from destruction the rem nant of our noble follow-countrymen. Englishmen are ready to make any sacrifices to secure them anything but the right thing—money, troops, any thing will they vote—but they will not take the trouble of seeing that their wishes are carried oat ; and they per sist in leaving the army in the hands of the very men who first sent them to the Crimea as a clap-trap for separating Parliament—and then sacrificed and deserted them. "Let bygones be bygones," says the organ, as a fitting corollary to the above ominous sentences. Such were the ' words of Lord Fitzwilliam in the Upper House nearly a [PRICE SD. year ago, and now repeated by the Times. Against this, when first uttered, we protested. His lordship owes a heavy debt to the country ; for the adoption of his ill-assorted adago—contrary to all common sense as it was —has cost us another year of postponements, and—an English army. If Lord Fitzvrilliam be the man we hope ho is, he must reverse his policy. But England herself has no feeling for her sons, or she would not let them run the risk of being betrayed a second time by the same men. In this case well may Englishmen be addressed in the words of the Roman Tribune to the populace of that de graded city : "Ye blocks, ye stones, ye worse than senseless things, Uh ! ye hard hearts, ye cru e l men o f R ome. " What, we ask, will be the feeling in the hearts of our poor fellows P.t Sebastopol when they learn that their fats is still entrusted to the hands of Newcastle and Aberdeen ? It can be no other than this, that England has deserted them, and that they have nothing left to do but to sell their lives as dearly as they may. " Let bygones be bygones." What is this but the expedient of the desperate gambler who insists upon being permitted to redeem his luck by being allowed to " play double or quits ?" The loser cannot be worse off, for he has lost everything, and he may reverse his desperate position at the expense of his adversary. This is the case in ordinary life. But if the people of England have any sense of feeling or humanity loft they should consider, that in the present instance every additional cast of the dice which they con cede to the reckless gamesters of the Coalition is granted at the expense of the life-blood of their brothers and sons. Go out into ehe we-" - , nd hear the conversation of men of all nations collar* . - this huge metropolis. " Your 3 your army to petty questions and _mid in our hearing an acute Ameri can. " You will have peace in the spring if you do not take Sebastopol," is the statement of an astute Greek; " but if you do you must prepare for a war of years." This may require a little explanation. The Greek's view is this :—Oar Ministry look to making peace during the winter, and by means of the intervention of Austria. If the English army is compelled to raise the siege of Sebas topol the Czar will consider it as a set-off for his defeat before Silistria; but if it be taken he will listen to no terms, for he will be doubly a beaten man. The taking of Sebastopol would render a patched-up peace impossible. Let our readers draw their own conclusions, and remem ber our words, in conjunction with the discovery that the taking of Sebastopol has become a mere " secondary con sideration." We had intended concluding these remarks by a few observations on the reinforcements now requisite for the East, but our attention has been caught by some state ments which must not remain an hour without an answer. There is a weekly journal, conducted with high talent, which does not think it unworthy of its reputation to take a rather devious course with reference to the war ; it professes extreme candour, and blames the Ministry loudly, and often j nstly, when the Coalition is in no danger ; but let the sea be rough and the frail barque be threatened with destruction, and then it rushes to their assistance, and no efforts are spared to save the vessel and its freight. We need hardly name the Examiner. In the present desperate circumstances of the Coalition the Examiner makes two extraordinary assertions in its leading article of Saturday—namely, first, that no one knew the strength of Sebastopol, therefore it was impossible to estimate the force required for its reduction; and, secondly that no one could anticipate the Czar would send his Bessarabian armies to defend it. Lot us for the moment suppose the first assertion to be true—Englishmen will appreciate the gratitude due to an Administration which sends 30,000 of their best and bray eit to make "a leap in the dark," in order to close the session with a clap-trap—but let this pass. We shall prove, however, in a very few words, that both assertions are utterly untrue—the Ministry might have been ignorant, but it was because they were wilfully so—the information lay on the high road, if they had chosen to pick it up. On the 12tu of June we wrote as follows—speaking of the probability that Austria might occupy the Principali ties : " The moment the Czar retires from the provinces, the proposed attack upon Sebastopol will become impossible— for he can at once send to the Crimea a force—thus ren• dered disposable—so powerful as to rendtir the attempt all but an act of insanity. A high military authority has asserted that even under present circumstances (that is, supposing there were no relieving force in the field) a ,siege from the land side would require an army of 70,000 men, and an expenditure of 15,090 lives." Is this distinct enough to prove to the Examiner that if the Ministry were ignorant they must have been so wil fully ? We will give them further proofs, merelyebserving that the above statements wore repeated in every shape they could be written by us for more than three months before the sailing of the expedition. We shall now quote a, private letter, which has been placed at our disposal by 'a friend, written by one of the best officers at present in the Crimea, and dated the day but one after the battle of Inkermau " We look anxiously for reinforcements, both English and French. You may remember T said more than a year ago, we ought to have 120,000 men to take Sebastopol, and that 100,000 was the least figure I considered safe for the operation. I fancy most are of my mind uow."—Camp, Sebastopol, Nov. 7. If tlio Ministry did not know that an army of 120,000 soldiers was required for the operation, we say that nothing more is required to prove their utter incapacity. Let us now bring against the Coalition a witness which oval , VAauctiLzainsax. lbaselt • vhnv they never read our warnings, but they egnnet plead the same with regard to the 7 &nes, whose correspondent writes from Vienna, as we remarked at the time, a letter which " con veniently arrived three days after the prorogation of Par liament.

REINFOROEMENTS OF THE ARMY. The success which has crowned the arms of England and France requires indreased numbers to pursue the victories already gained. On the broad surface of the ocean float cargoes of valiant men, whose duty and ambition stimulate them to seek the honour of their na tions, and the establishment of the peace of Europe. The success which has attended the exertions of E.

A further court of governors was held at, Christ's Hospital on Friday last. - The minutes of the preceding meeting having, been read, an animated discussion en sued upon the subject of the vote of thanks to Dr. Jacob. This terminated apparently to the satisfaction of all par ties, and the vote of thanks, duly acknowledged in a letter - from Dr. Jacob, was placed upon the minutes. The committee of almoners presedted their annual re port of deaths of their body during the present year, furnishing the names of six gentlemen to supply their places, when Mr. Alderman SIDNEY moved, and Mr. DARBY se conded, "That the consideration of such report be ad journed till the next court, And the names of gentlemen recommended to supply the vacancies in the number of almoners be then taken into consideration, such names to be printed in the summons calling the court." After a lengthened discussion, this resolution was agreed to. This subject is exciting much interest, the custom for the last hundred years having been for the committee of almoners to • no*up,te Aile.ir_cAra_Sriead4 tleir names, to get a vote of court confirming.- their nomination when the court has generally been composed of a, majority of almoners. Recently the committee of alinoners made a unanimous report condemnatory of Dr. Jacob, and the large majority- of the general court of gover nors having passed a resolution of h contrary nature, it wi. u'd appear that the former body should be fused with other governors who might more truly represent every section of opinions. RUSSIA AND THE UNITED STATHS. (From the Constitutionnel.) The Americans, with that keen scent for which they are so remarkable in all matters connected with trade and navigation, have undertaken to make, themselves the carriers of produce. In fact, from the moment that they made the Czar • admit that merchandise coming from countries in a state of war is net liable to seizure on board neutral vessels, they rendered the Imperial n av y o f R uss i a powe rless to prevent their speculation, which consists in offering to French and English merchants to take their freights, which under the neutral flag of the United States would be secure from the risks of war. This is how in the struggle, which is going en between civilisation and barbarism, be tween liberty and slavery, between the most enlightened governments of Europe and the Autocrat of all the Russias, the merchants of the United States have seen an opportunity of lucrative commercial operations. It is not, however, probable that this skilful calculation will be crowned with success, at least at the expense of the shipping interests of either one or other of the Allied States engaged in the struggle. The Goverments of France and England have, in fact, adopted such measures of protection that it is the commerce of the enemy and not ours which will be threatened, and that his ships of war, far from venturing in search of our mei.- nhant vessels, will be happyif, in taking refuge behind the Russian fortifications ou shore, they can succeed in escaping a struggle with the naval forces of the two allied nations. The French and English vessels stationed in the Pacific Ocean and in the Chinese seas, united and sailed together in search of the enemy, which had been seen at Japan a short time before, the departure of the American squadron, under Commodore Perry, but which had afterwards disappeard, hidden behind some Se bastopol of the sea of Okhost or of Kamtschatka. At the date of the last accounts, the Russian squad role was, it is said, at Petropaulovski. It is there that they are said to have been found, and in part destroyed on the 4th Sept. last by the Allied squadrons. at least, is the account just received in an American paper. We are not yet in possession of any of the details of that engagement. It is said only that the batteries of the fort have been destroyed, and that two vessels, doubtless frigates, have been taken from the Russians. This is a terrible blow given to the Russian squadron of the Pacific ocean. It is, however, difficult, to know pre cisely the strength of it. If in Europe itself, almost uncle. , our own eyes, the Muscovite Government succeeds .in concealing its resoa - . - oes so as to surprise its as gallants, and when the - latter think they are in posses sion of the best information, how much easier is it for it to conceal the real state of its naval power behind the ice and fogs of the Polar soas. This precaution, however, will not have prevented the success of the attack. We knew not whether it is the intention of the Allied governments to avail themselves of their navalsuperierity to attack the other posessions of the enemy. The part of protection which the English and French vessels per form is less brilliant than in battle, but it is of the highest utility, and the effects of that protection is daily revealed by the feeling of security which prevails in the French and English ports. Consult our sailors, and their choice will not be for a moment doubtful—it will be in favour of the combat. If the hour for an attack on the Russian establishments in North America shall one day arrive, the less of the Russians will be severe. All the merchandise, all the natural prodno• tions of the two Americas, and even of Europe, may find their way to Moscow and St. Petersburg, in spite of the blockade of the Baltic and of the White Sea, in C A om rc p h a a n n y ge t l r , an w s h p e o r r e t t t h h e e m v t e o ss o el kh s o o s f t, th in e In 1829, Lord Syde nhain, alludin g to the continental Spßaitibssessirnciag.,inablycerroiNscasenawclosed sea to which they have the key. blockade, and to the advantages of the Russians in America, said, " English merchandise, which was not admitted into France, found in the Frozen Ocean a way of penetrating into .the heart of that country.

These expressions are remarkable, and they indicate the importance of the result of an efficient blockade' to be established on the Russian coast in the Frozen Ocean. In the meantime, if the news of the destruction of a part of the fleet at Petropaulovski be confirmed, it will have coincided in a remarkable manner with tbe announce ment of the conclusion of the treaty by which the United States have endeavoured to monopolise the navi g ation of the belligerent powers ; and b y destro y in g their hopes in that respect, it will increase the confidence of com merce, the security of which is in all cases sufficiently guaranted by the force and courage of the Allied navies."

The Moniteur contains the following exceedingly graceful compliment to L ord Raglan Bri tish army an d the Every one has remarked the terms in which Lord Raglan points out the part taken by our generals and soldiers in the victory of the Inkerman. This testi mony, so s pontaneously rendered to our arms by so competent a judge as the illustrious general, to whom the gratitude of the British Government has just awarded the highest military dignity, is too glorious for our army for us not to reproduce the very expressions made nee of in the report. "I am proud," writes the General-in- Chief, " of the the opportunity of bearing testimony to the valour and energetic services of the French troops, and of paying a tribute o f a d m i ra ti o n to th e di st i nguished conduct of their immediate commander, General Boa quet, while it is in the highest degree pleasing to me to place upon record my deep sense of the valuable assist ance I received from the Commander-in-Chief, General Canrobert, who was himself on the ground, and in con stant communication with me." The French reports, on their side, do not less strongly point out the heroic and unshakeable firmness with which a fraction of the Eng lish army victoriously supported for several hours the shock of an enemy so superior- in numbers. 'The mere we become acquainted with the details of that day the more do we think ourselves founded in regarding it as one of the most glorious in military history. It is, in fact, stated that at the commencement of the battle the English fought with the numerical inferiority of one against seven, and that at the end of the day, when the arrival of the French troops decided the victory, the proportion was still one against four. THE FRENCH COJIMANDER-IN-CHIBF. General Canrobert's powerS as Commander-in-Chief of the French army of the East have received a further extension as appears by the following note in the v /tacit/. : The Emperor, iu his solicitude far the army which combats so bravely under the walls of Sebastopol, has not confined himself to delegating to the general coiu manding-in•chief extraordinary powers to fill up the va cancies of officers up to the rank of chef de bataillon or chef d'escadron inclusively. His Majesty, considering that it would enhance the value of any recompense to have it conferred on the field of battle, at the very mo ment of its being merited, , has, on the proposition of the Minister a War, also authorised General Canrobert to make nominations in the Legion of Honour of the grades of chevalier and officer, and to award military ruedalg. ROYAL SOCIETY.—We understand that Lord Wrot tesley is proposed as, the new president, in place of Lord Posse, who retires ; and that G. Gabriel Stokes, Af.A., of Cambridge, is proposed as the now secretary, in place of Professor Christie, retiring, THE PROPOSED NEw GOVERNMENT OFFICES. Amongst the most recently suggested schemes of im provement, we must mention the designs which were submitted a few days ago to Sir Wm. Molesworth (in his capacity of Chief Commissioner of Works), for the erec tion of an extensive pile of buildings for Government offices at Downing-street. The design is by Mr. John Tarring, architect, and contemplates the removal of the buildings between the Horse Guards and Great George street, Westminster, as far as Charles-street. It is also proposed to remove the block of houses between King street and Parliament-street, although net absolutely ne cessary, to open the thoroughfare and improve the appear. ance of the new buildings. Dover House, which is situated between the Horse Guards and the buildings occupied by the Board of Trade and Council-office, it is suggested should also be removed, in order to form a public entrance into St. James's-park, instead of a pas sage through the Horso Guards as at present : this would have the effect of giving a good view from the park of the Banqueting-house, Whitehall. The block of build ings now occupied by the Council -office and Board of Trade, as refaced by Sir Charles Barry, would remain, and is taken as the basis of the new design; it would form one wing of the facade towards Whitehall : a similar wing would extend from about Fludyer-street to Charles-street, the intermediate space between be ing filled up with a grand centre of considerable height, and a lefty arched entrance. The whole frontage would be about seven hundred feet. On the north side facing the Horse Guards, and the south side facing Charles-street, the buildings would be carried down at right angles into the park, to a distance of 400 feet, and have in each front a centre and arched entrance. The front in the park Jooking westwards, would be similar to the front in Whitehall, and the whole would form an oblong pile ef building, 700 feet by 400 feet, with four façades. The interior would be divided into three squares by two rows of buildings running parallel with the north and south sides ; the centre of these squares would be the largest, and there would be an archway in the middle of the north and south sides of it, in a line with the archways in the flanks of the buildings. The cost has been estimated at nearly 700,0001. and to meet the financial difficulties started by Sir William Moles worth, the parties who snbmitted the plans, offered to carry them out, and present the buildings to the Go vernment, on condition of receiving 32,0001., per annum for fifty years. It is stated that the Government are now paying nearly 20,0410/. a year for rent and repairs of disconnected and in conven i en t b u ildi ngs. W e sha ll probably give our readers an opportunity to judge of the effect of the proposed pile. Without reference to the character of the buildings, we must say that the proposal to bring together the various Government offices, and to rnake the whole an architectural adorn ment of the met ro p o li s, h as our full concurrence. It is evident from the s t a t ement of Sir William, that some thing is about to be done in this direction, and it is of the utmost importance that it should be looked at in a comprehensive spirit.—The Builder. STATE 01? TRADE. (Prom the Manchester Giiardian of Saturday.) MANCHESTER, NOV. 24.—The Levant and Mediter ranean merchants, who have for some time been the most active buyers in this market, continue to be almost the only class from whom anything worth calling a regular demand is found to proceed. Through their operations, the lower counts of water twist remain steady in value, and extra hard twist extremely firm, while certain descriptions of T cloths, long cloths, and domestics, recede less than most other goods. in the finer printing cloths, also, but little concession is found. The general tendency to depression, however, heeoines inure marked. In yarns, the decline from the late high e.t prices may be broadly stated as varying front id. to Id. per lb., A ccording to the class quoted ; and. in the medium numbers of cops it is even more, as tir.:ch as ld. in cop twist. India goods may be con sidered as having now fallen to 9:ld. per ]b., at of offersat-wliiclt price some business has bee n done . We hear at the rate of 9Ad.

NOTTINGHAM, Nov. 23.—Much depression stil't exists is the lace and hosiery trades of the town and nei l hood, without any apparent prospect of eith er trae to being improved until th e new year begins. The 12,c a trade being more or. less influenced by the caprice o f fax hien , it is difficult to foretell its probabilities long iii adv ance. Cotton yarns for each. trade are offered at differ. entivrices. 27111 Tratrzur LOAN: The following note relates to the Turkish Loan "Louden, Nov. 25. "Sir,—ln a morning paper of yesterday it is stated that the finnan assigning a portion of the Egyptian tribute au a special security to the subscribers to the Turkish Loan is unsatisfactory, inasmuch as no allusion is made to the debt being secured on the g eneral revenues of T ur k ey . Surely this can hardly b e the case, for when I invested my nsoney in this security I was assured that, in addition to the debt being a first charge on the general revenues of the country, the Egyptian tribute, a part of those reve nues, was to be so hypothecated as to be applicable to no other purpose. " The translation which I read in your paper of the 23d appears to me in every respect satisfactory, and I can hardly allow myself to doubt but that the remarks of your contemporary must have been written in ignorance of the facts. " I beg to apologise for thus troubling you, and to aab• seribe myself, " Your very obedient servant, "A HOLDER OF TURKISH SCRIP." The writer of this note is correct in assuming that the statement to which he refers is at variance with the facts. Subjoined is an extract from the general bond under which the hian is raised, showing that, is addi tion to the special hypothecation of the Egyptian tribute, it is secured by the revenues of the Ottoman empire : • ' Be it therefore known that the undersigned, deeming it most for the interest and advantage of his Imperial Majesty's Government to raise the said loan on the terms and conditions hereinafter contained, do, in pursuance of the powers and authorities vested in them for that purpose, hereby bi n d and oblige the Government of His Imperial Majesty, and the revenues of the Ottoman em pire and Government to the pay-went of the said loan, principal and interest, as hereinafter stipulated, and in par ticular, do specially and irrevocably charge therewith, as an additional guarantee, 30,000,000 piastres, or 282,000/., part of the tribute payable to his Imperial Majesty by his Highness the Pacha of Egypt, and in order that the said 30,000,000 piastres, or 282,0001, may be more effectually and irrevocably pledged and appropriated to th e payment of interest and redempti on o f the said loan, th e undersigned engage that the necessary firmans and authorities shall be issued without delay for insuring the due and punctual re. mittance thereof to the Bank of England or Bank of France so that the same may be at the disposal of the agents of the loan in London for that purpose.* - COURT OF ALDERMEN. On Saturday a special court was called for the purpose of considering the report of the Commissioners of In. quiry into the state of the corporation of London. Mr. Alderman Wilson occupied the chair in the sence of the Lord Mayor, who was confined to his house by indisposition. Alderman SIDNEY gave notice of his intention to ask the Lord Mayor to call a special court to consider the following motion : "That a dutiful address be presented to her Majesty, praying that she will be graciously pleased to remove from her councils the Right Hon. the Earl of Aberdeen, who is no longer entitled to public confidence as the First Minister of the Crown, and to place at the head of her Administration a constitutional adviser whose opinions are in unison with the people at this national crisis." Sir J. MUSGROVH—Whorn would you propose to sub stitute for the Earl of Aberdeen ? ... Alderman SIDNEY—That toi not for this court to decide upon. • Alderman FARICIIROTHER—If the application is for fe special court, I desire to be heard. Alk; Alderman WlLSON—Alderman Sidney says it is his intention to ask the Lord Mayor to appoint one. Ws have no power to discuss that matter. _ Alderman FAREBROTHER —I do not know that the conduct of one individual ought to be sufficient to induce the Lord Mayor to call a special court, because, although Mr. Alderman Sidney may, by his motion, express his own and the opinions of those who go with him, he may not express the opinions of the other members of this court, and perhaps they would rather that the motion should die a natural death than that the Lord Mayor should be called upon to comply with the request. (Hear, hear.) Alderman SIDNEY —It is my intention to ask the Lord Mayor to appoint a special court. Alderman FAREBROTHER—And it is my intention to ask his lordship not to so. Alderman SIDNEY —My friend cannot discuss the subject of what it is my intention to ask the Lord Mayor, whose province it will he to decide upon my request. If the. Lord Mayor calls a special court, I shall move that resolution; if not, I shall move that resolution at o the next court. Sir J. Musartovz—l apprehend, as Alderman Sidney has given notice to the court that it is his intention to ask the Lord Mayor to call a special court to consider that motion, that it is within our province to take notice of that remark, and to consider whether we shall feel it our duty to ask his lordship not to comply with the re quest. We are quite at liberty to express our opinion that it is unnecessary for the Lord Mayor to call a spe- cial court. (Hear, hear.) Sir R. W. CARDEN—i should think that as soon as the request is made the Lord Mayor will summon his brethren together for the purpose of ascertaining whether their views coincide with those of Alderman Sidney as to the desirableness of calling a special court. (Hear, hear.) If I were Lord Mayor, that is the course I should adopt. I certainly should not take the responsibility upon my• self of calling a special court upon a subject of this na• cure. (Hear.) Altluinuua FAERBROTEINU—_-For 7nj Fart, I should tie charitable enough to let the thieg dies natural death. (Laughter.) The subject then dropped. REPORT OP THU ROYAL COIMISSIONERE OP INQUIRY INTO THE STATE OF THE CORPORATION. On the report of the Privileges Committee being brought up, Sir J. .viusotovE rose and said—Anxious as I am upo►► all occasions that the public should be acquainted with any proceeding of this court, I apprehend that we are not now about to debate the report of the committee, but immediately to refer it back again, and I propose that we should do so with closed doors. Whenever the report comes up to be debated, if the doers are not open, I will ask the Lord Mayor to open them ; bit upon the present occasion I move that strangers be ordered to withdraw. Alderman SIDNEY—I differ from my friend. I appre hend that the Lord Mayor will kindly take the sense of his brethren upon this subject. (Hear, hear.) Alderman FAREBROTIIKR—That cannot be done. Alderman SIDNEY—I ask Alderman Barebrother whether he would not be governed in a matter of this kind by the sense of the majority of his brethren, be cause the report is a docum en t th e con t en t s o f which are to be discussed to-day. (Ilear, hear.) Alderman FAREBROTHE/t—NO, they are not. Alderman SIDNEY —lt is the report of a committee of this court, and it relates undoubtedly to the report of the Royal Commissioners upon the state of the corpo ration ; and as this has already been made public, I do not know why we should not discuss our position in as equally public manner with the charges- against this institution itself. lam quite sure that every gentleman will feel it a duty that he owes to himself and to the public at large that this. court should be able to give, as publicly as charges have been made against the corpo- ration, their reply to such sweeping denunciations._ Alderman FARBBROTEtER—I do not know why, Sir J. Musgrove wishes the court to be cleared, and the public excluded ; but I think it would be highly advantageous to the cause of truth, and to the corporation at large, that our deliberations should be in public. •(Hear.) Alderman WILSON--Sir J. Musgrove has requested that the court should be cleared, and he cannot be called upon to give his reasons for making this request unless strangers do withdraw. The court having been cleared of strangers, remained in deliberation several hours, and then adjourned. MR. CHICRESTER AND HIS LOVER. At the rising of the Vice:Ciaancellor's Court on Satnr• day, _ The Solicitor-General asked his lordship, on the part of Mr. Chichester, to hear a motion on the matter on Friday next. and to give notice for that purpose. His waylordship ofsaid ppetition save bytif h i e on c . ould not listen to any application The Solicitor-General would then have a petition pre. pared, and he asked for a hearing oa an early day, as the matter was pressing. He bad a certificate of Dr. Brodie as to the health of Mr: Chichester, which war. ranted him in saying so. His lordship was not disposed to listen to any suggekk tien unless it was accompanied by a sufficient undertake ing, and satisfactory security too, that there would be no repetition of those proceedings or attempts, which had the effect of placing Mr. Chichester in confinement. The Solicitor-General was aware of that, and would he prepared to meet his lordship's wishes, but the certi. ficate of Dr. Brodie was one to which he wished to call attention. His lordship remarked that if there was anything ex• ex co t, e t r einely pressing in the appl m ica e t n i c o e n o h n e F t: i u d s a t y o n f uni hear it at any time; but if not, it might stand a the h eTa d heo f si t t h ti e n p g a s p a e f r te o r n te l r ' m rid c a o y m . let of December , t ill which da y the court adjourned. the OFFICIAL APPOINTAIENTSs There is no truth whatever in the allegation that the Right Hon.
