The essential obiect of this treatise is to point out the fearful con- Sequences resulting Prom certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have proeueed more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any ether class of disease known to modern pathologists. Ha 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 thatall men should know, that there arc Principles of personal management which cannot be violated without Incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties r'''ay 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 Is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional. derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have unfortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant !Tweirics, who inflict great injury on those who are Induced to place faith in their pretensions.

In spite of the stormy weather the James Baines was towed on Wednesday into the river by the steam-tu.:s Independence, Constitution, and Vesta. Sho has on !mard 1,400 tons of cargo, upwards of 200 tons having been shut out, and she cairns one of the largest mails ever despatched to the golden regions. The own ers have received 320 sacks of letters and newspapers from London alone. She also conveys about 700 pas sengers. To feed this vast multitude there are, in addi tion to the usu i l s tores, 75 sheep, 25 of which are pre served in ice ; 86 pigs, G of which are in ice ; 100 dozen of fowls, 30 dortus of which are in ice ; the live stock being reserved fir use after the vessel has crossed the line. A. bullock is also on board, which will be killed to provide a portion of the old English Christmas din ner. The provisions will be cooked in Grant's Condens ing Cooking Galley, which is used on board the line-of battle ships in the Royal navy; and nothing that experi ence or liberality can procnre has been omitted which can in any way tend to the comfort of the passengers. The James Baines is the largest and most valuable ves sel which ever yet sailed from this port.--Liverpool Times. " Berlin, Nov. 15. "Thanks to the kindnesi of Count de Baal, your Excellency is already acquainted with the reply of the Imperial Cabinet to our overtures of the 30Th of last month. Count Esterhazy has since communicated to me the despatches addressed to him on. the sth instant, of which 1 annex a copy to complete the archives of the royal mission. We felt great satisfa.ct iJn in finding that the Austrian Cabinet apprtolated the sincere desire of an entente which directed our propositions uf the 30th October. Onr sat'sfaction in this respect was the greater, as in the ensemble of the impression which the observations made in reply by the Austrian Cabinet produced upon us, 'we found the desired and hoped-for conviction that the two high Courts are sufficiently agreed upon the means, and upon the object of their common position as regards the great questions is connection with the Eastern question, to make shortly and equally in common ulterior propo sitions to their other allies at the Federal Assembly " Animated by the desire that this may take place within the shortest possible delay, we have examined, in the most scrupulous manner, the reasons which in a gene ral orspecial manner, Austria has:thought fit in its point of view, to oppose to the eventual federal resolution previously formulated by us, In acting thus we have taken the largest account orthe considerations resulting for Aus tria from her European position, and from the obligations resulting therefrom. "Wet — think we may pass over the special reas?ns in silence. I must, however, iR a general manner, point out, as resting o n a misunderstanding, the supposition that It was our wish to declare thefour points exclusively and under all circumstances, obligatory for us and for our allies, and, consequently, to bind Austria within this circle. "Art. 3 anticipated in a general manner the case in which new demands might be put in the interest of the union of the Central States of Europe, and only stipulated for this case a preliminary resolution taken in common. We maintain that Austria, by declaring herself willing to accept this stipulltiou under the form of a resohition of the Diet, would only be acting in the spirit of the treaty of the 20th April. " However, and as we have observed above, we ap— preciate the objections raised by the Court of Vienna and we hare endeavoured, as far as the maintenance of our own conviction would allow us, to put aside from the new project annexed to this, and of which .his Majesty the King approves entirely, anything which might be in contradiction with the Austrian interpretation ; to intro duce, on the contrary, nearly word for word the three points such as Austria formulates them herself in the draft of instructions for the Imperial envoy to the Diet --a draftof which hes been communicated to us—in such manner that we think we may confidently count upon it that Baron Prekesch will be authorised to pronounce himself in the committee in favour of the, adoption of the project. "His Majestythe King in deigning, as 1 have already observed, to approve of such a decision by the Diet, is, nevertheless, penetrated with the conviction that to avoid discussions and dissentient votes, it can only be adopted when it shall have keen preceded by the conclusion of an additional article to formulate the obligation of the pro tection to be accorded to Austria in te Principalities, obligations which the Austrian Cabinet itself allows to go beyond the primitive principle of the treaty of the 20th April. His Majesty has also ordained that in draw ing up this additional article everything should be avoided of a nature to retard an entente. To this dominant con sideration is due the annexed project, also approved of by his Majesty, and which your Excellency will commu nicate to Count fuel, with the observation that, if it is approved of by his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, your Excellency is authorised to sign it without foss of time, with Count Buol. If at Vienna they should pre fer that it should be signed here, Prince Esterhazy might easily be authorised, by a telegraphic despatch, to sign it with me. The formalities relative to thb full powers might be completed afterwards. " Nevertheleis, if the signing the additional article takes place, it ought to be immediately communicated as well to our German allies as to our representatives at Frankfurt ; and its unanimous adoption not only would not cause any new delay, but would considerably sim plify the labours of the committee apoointsd thereon, as the latter would only have to time:ate its propositions by referring to the adfitional ar icle, arid tho_se pror,sl - if based upon a project agreed up,in between Prus.ia and Austria, alight certainly collat upon unanimous adoption, as well by the extunittee as by the Federal Assembly itself. " Your Excellency will communicate the present de spstJii and documents annex id witho it delayito the Im perial Cabinet. His Majesty the King is very anxious that this important .a 'air, relative to which his Majesty is moved by the most profound solicitude for the Prussian and German interests, as also for the general interests of Europe, should attain a prompt solution in the sens e indicated above ; and in this ho counts confidently upon the active and decisive concurrence of his august ally, his Majessy the Emperor of Austria. I await, with the greatest interest, the reports. of your Excellency upon the result of these measures. "I am, &c., (Signed) "DE MANTEUFFEL." STATE OF TRADE. NOTTINGHAM, Dec. B.—The usual anticipations in the lace trade lead us to expect the transaction of a fair busi ness at this season, with an additional stimulus towards the end of January. But the current season exhibits a total and almost unaccountable cessation of business. Half time has is many instances been introduced, and quarter time is spoken of. Materials, however, continue firm, for although wrought silks may be procurable at old rates, raw materials are only negotiable at the ad vance—it being known that the arrivals for the next four months will only average 2,000 tons a mouth, whereas the deliveries for the last ten months have been at the rate of 4,000. Thus if only 3,000 tons a month should be demanded for consumption, the inroad upon stocks would be very considerable. In hosiery there is no alteration and no improvement to report. The continued accounts from Australia sug gest doubts of the stability of many of the colonial firms unless they can be assisted over their difficulties ; and there are this morning rumours of two very considerable failures of wholesale houses in London which have ex ercised afurther depressing influence on trade. —Notting hamshire Guardian. LEICESTER, Dec. 7.--Business continues active in the departments preparing goods for the East, and produces a beneficial influence in alter branches by engaging surplus labour, which otherwise would be unoccupied at this season of the year. Prices of wool and yarn remain firm. BRADFORD, Dec. 7.—Wool—There have been more lookers during the week, but the business doing is very limited, and prices without change in bright-haired wools. Other kinds continue in favour of the buyer. Noils and brokes are sought after, and with only a small quantity making. Yarns—There. is somewhat more confidence in the yarn trade, arisirg from the very di minished production and the unwillingness of spinners to produce yarns at the present prices. All seem satisfied that yarns have seen the lowest point, and any change must be upward to induce the machinery now idle to be put in motion. Pieces—The business doing is limited, and may be expected to continue su till the turn of the year. The stocks of finished goods held hy the mer chants is much less than has been for many years at this period, and of grey or undyed stock they bad none ; whereas they have in previous seasons bought largely for the spring. All is yet to do, and the stocks held by the manufacturers aro unusually light, and but few making ; and, with more than forty less spinners and manufacturers than at the close of the year, it is reason able to expect a return of activity.—Bradford Observer. LEEDS, Dec. s.—We have no improvement to report of the state of the woollen trade. Both on Saturday and to-day the business done at the cloth halls was to a very trifling amount ; very little has also been done out of the market. Prices rule steady, and the stocks mo derate, but in the present state of the demand the manu facturers are lesseoiws ' the production, and, in conse quence, the mills are becoming less actively employed. Business has been dull in the warehouses since this day week, and, in the absence of the usual demand for ship. ping, little is expected by way of improvement for some time. HUDDERSFIELD, Dec, s.—ln some departments of the market there has been a trifle more doilies but genera`ly there have been no sales of moment. No one seems in clined to P peculate, and job lots appear almost a d rug. The yarn spinners, who ha ve usually been busy at this Iperiod, are, like the rest, very fiat. THE INVESTIGATION AT LAMBETH w oßKriousr ,._ Yesterday Messrs. Austell and C Ire met ag sin ill the Board•room Of Leimbeth Workhouse, for the purpose of hearing the defence of the officials affeett.l by the evidence taken on the previous occasions. The wholo of the sitting was occupied with the ex:tmination on oath of Mr. Joseph Piercy, the master, who at great length entered into the various charges brought against himself, denying some, and offering explanations on others. Headmitted having confined the woman Mailes in the surgery adjoining the dead-house, but stated that when giving the order it had not occurred to him that it was not a proper place. Goldsmith had been told not to paint, but said he preferred it. With respect to the man who lay in bed so long because he had no clothe . , he (the master) ordered them to be supplied directly he heard of it, and severely censured Hyde for not having provided them long before. The inquiry was further adjourned. The following letter has been addressed by M. Kossuth to the editor of The Times :- " Sir,—ln your columns of to-day two of your corres pondents come forward to comment on and to oppose the opinions I expressed in my speech at the Polish anniversary. " 1 have not the intenti(,n to enter into polemics in corroliorwion of my own view,. I advanced opinions which, upon mature reflecti,m, I, in conscience, took awl take it to be just, correct, and well-I , unded, and leave it to public opinion to wuigh my argu , nents and the arguments of my opponents, and then to judge as they think to be right. "All I desire is to rectify an historical fict, the mis representation of which is calculs. el un justly to injure the honour of my nation. " Your Anglo-Parisian' correspondent ventures on the reproach that the Hungaria.l nation did not assist the Poles in IS3O, but remained a quiescent spectator of their heroic struggle. " That is utterly false. Quits the reverse is the fact. The behaviour of the. Hungarian nation in that emer gency fills a bright page in our history; and well deserves the appreciation of all just men. " Hungary had be at that time undisturbed in her tranquillity, and unshaken by heartrevolting Royal per jury in her royal allegiance to the house of Austria. She was, in a word, not in a revolutionary condition, like as she is now, and will continue to be as long as she is not delivered of the Hapsburgs, who are no more the rulers of Hungary by law, or by a 'national compact, re-con firmed by a coronation oath, but simply by the right of Russian bayonets. Then the Hapsburgs were our legi timate Kings, often violating our laws, but still reigning under the prestige of legitimacy. 'We had painful griev ances ; still we had a national existence • hact-pur-con stitution, had the invaluable institutions Of our country Assemblies and .raunietiaaiities, astir had—alse-enr Parlia ment, all in full opet4tion, to protect our national exist ence and to redress our grievances. There was no im perious necessity for, therefore no adequate cause to justify, a revolutionary rising; consequently neither an occasion nor a possibility for a revolution. A revolution is never possible except when it is an absolute necessity. "Such has been the condition of Hungary, then ; and between us and that Poland (Russian Poland) which rose in 1830 there was Gallicia, which was unable to take part in the Polish insurrection, guarded as Gallicia was by a numerous Austrian army, and the house of Aus tria, then our legitimate sovereign, yet with whom we were at peace, had its armies drawn up on the frontiers of Gallicia and Poland in the attitude of armed neutrality. "Now, in such a position and under such circum stances, what was it the Hungarian nation did in regard to Poland ? "The first news about the rising at Warsaw shook the Hungarian nation like an electric shock. Innumerable committees were instantly formed all over the land,—not foe expressing verbal sympathy, but for affording every possible assistance to the Polish patriots. Every warlike implement that could have been hunted up in the kingdom, and clothing, and provisions, wine, brandy, medicaments, surgery apparatus, money, col lected all over the land ;—we risked prosecution and braved the resentment of our Government, and did with the utmost energy for the Polish patriots all your nation is just doing for your own braves. The ladies of Hungary were day and night at work to make charpie (lint, I believe, is the word for it); the palaces of the rich and the huts of the poor had been converted into store houses filled with materials in aid of struggling Poland, and large convoys were seen day and night winding up the roads in the Carpathian Mountains, in defiance of Austrian police, Austrian military cordons, and Aus tiian vigilance. Nay, more, hundreds and hundreds of . - the noble-hearted youth of Hungary, braving the danger of being captured and shot in crossing the double mili tary cordon on both the frontiers (several have been actually captured and shot), left their homes and their fortunes and went to join the ranks of the struggling Polish patriots. Our comitals (counties), the assemblies of which have not to be confounded with your public meeting, they having been the most effective and the most essential official organs of the nation's constitutional rights—our contitats, I say, 5 as they were in number, almost without exception were at once assembled extra ordinarily, and forwarded the expression of the national will in representations to the Emperor-King, urging on him to declare in favour of Poland, to give up Gallicia (which the Hapsburgs pretended to hold by right inherent to the kingly crown of Hungary), and to redress the in ju;tice of. Poland's partition by assisting the restoration of the indep"ndence of the Polish nation ; and, in order to show the earnestness of Hur, , ary in this determina tion, the coinitats assured the King solemnly and officialy that the nation stoo 1 prepared to undergo whatever sacrifices to assist him in that noble task, and infinmed him that the representative:: of the nation in Parliament shall be instructed not to shriA from granting every supply in me - 1 gad mlney which may be required for enablinz the Kin , to carry the aim of restdring• Poland. The Hungarian Parlianioot soon afterwards met, and took up the clue of the provincial manifestations ; the halls of our National Assoliblv resounded with the noblest and boldest declarations ()f the national determi nation to undergo even the risk of a bloody and sumptuous war in support of Poland ; the Hluse of Representatives framed representations to the Sovereign aecording'y, and up to 1343 not once ha I the Hungarian Parliament met without persistently resuming its efforts in favour of Poland. " And when Poland succumbed, when the Govern ment we were subject to issued orders for not admitting the Polish refugees to cross the frontiers of Hungary, we smuggled them, at the risk of our lives, to our homes ; we gave them not much of thundering cheers (that's not in our national character, being rather a silent people). but we , took them to our firesides, placed them at our right, and held them as members of our own family for years and years. without even asking for their names or inquiring whether they were aristocrats or democrats. " That is, sir, what Hungary did ; and then up starts in your paper an anonymous pen, perverting truth, fal sifying history, and insulting a noLle, generous, unfortu nate nation, by saying that Hungary remained a quies cent spectator of the heroic struggle of Poland ?' " In regard to myself, I never asked your favour or even appealed to your sense of justice, nor ever will ; but, when I see an attempt made to insult the honour of my nation, I hope to be justified in the esti mation of all good men for requesting you to give room to this rectification of facts, which I give, not from tra ditional reports, but from personal experience. " With this I will leave your readers to judge whether, with these facts for antecedents,—whether now, after the Hapsburgs have torn to pieces the national compact between themselves and Hungary ; 'after they have driven Hungary to a revolution, too much envenomed by treachery, perjury, murder, blood, and the gallows to allow of any reconciliation for all eternity—a revolution only suspended de facto by Russian bayonets, but not subdued—after we have seen the armies of the Czar come down upon us to crush our national existence, with no pretext at all to excuse that foul encroach ment on the laws of nations, with not even so much of a pretext as he is putting forth for his aggression on Turkey—l leave it to your readers to judge whether I was justified in saying that Hungary will stand by reviving Poland, because our enemies are the same and our cause is identical.' "One more tribute to truth, if you please. Your correspondent is guilty of a deliberate anachronism in taunting me that I would advise to attack, with 12,000 French, Poland, garrisoned by 300,000 Ra gians. The fact is that Poland is now garrisoned by 300,000 men precisely because six months ago it has rot been attacked by landing a Polish expedition, backed by the 12,000 French who made the prome nade to the Baltic. Poland bad then not a garrison of 300,000 men, but some 60,000 only, chiefly raw recruits and invalids, which force could not have been much increased at that time, with St. Peters durg and Finland in danger from your Baltic fleet, and from the possibility of Sweden joining you upon the condition of Poland being called to arms, and on the other hand, with the Russian army on the Danube beaten, and the Anglo-French-Turkish force 220,000 strong, pushing up Bessarabia after the beaten Russians. Now there are 300,000 men in Poland ; but that is an argument in favour of my views as expressed first at Sheffield, June the sth, and last at St. Martin's-hall. That is precisely the fact which justifies my saying that Poland will be your Sybillino books ; that three of them are already lost ; and that you will be brought to pay for the last three the full price at which you could have purchased all the nine some months ago.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your humble servant, .
