The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from c-rtain habits, irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at ali stages of Life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists Its peruse is Particularly re •ommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condit'on, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know, that there are principles of personal inanavement which cannot he violated without neurrine grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderat e self-indulgence, how these penalties outy he mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may he removed, and how the evil and its con- equenc es may be avoided, and above all, 'hat there is scsrcely any decree of physical infirmity or functional i e rangement to which the timel y a,ri of science cannot apply a cure.

ACCIDENT TO THE SIMLA. - _ Sou'reamrroN, Saturday, May 13.—8 y the arrival of , the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Sultan we learn that the screw steamer Simla, Captain Brooks, was spoken on the • 9th instant off Vigo, and that she reported having broken her screw propeller in two places, and that steam power was in consequence quite useless. The Simla, it will be recollected, left Southampton on the 6th instant for Gibraltar, Malta, and Alexandria, with the India, China, and Australian mails, and had on board also the mails for Melbourne and Sydney; taken out of the Great Britain, besides a very large and valuable cargo, 300 tons of stores and provisions fo. the Government, to be landed at Malta for transmission to the fleet in the Black Sea, and specie to the value of about 90,0001. sterling. The screw, it appears, was broken by having struck some portion of a floating wreck • and, no spare one being on board at the time, the Simla had to trust entirely to her canvas. She was going about eight knots, with a fair wind, whet spoken by the Sul tan. It is supposed she would make Gibraltar, and there endeavour to repair temporarily the damage sus tained. The company have a spare screw at this port, and it was at first deemed advisable to ship it on board the Sultan or Colombo, and to send both these steam ships to Gibraltar, there to meet the Simla, and trans ship her mails, passengers, and cargo for conveyance to their destination. For this purpose Captain Engledue, the superintendent of the company, ordered these vessels to be prepared for sea, so as to leave Southampton on Sunday or Monday. Subsequently orders were, however, re ceived this evening from London, countermanding their departure, and the Simla will have to make the best of her way unc'er sail alone, or with temporary repairs (should such be practicable), to the Mediterranean. Great delay to the mails will necessarily be experienced, and the steamers on the Suez side of the isthmus will, of course, be kept waiting. If the Simla gets favour able weather, she wiil probably make a fair passage to Malta, whence the mails might be sent on by the Vectis or Valetta to Alexandria, but if foul winds are encountered in the Mediterranean, it is uncertain when that island may be reached. The Simla is a most mag nificent ship, and, independent of her steam-power, is fully rigged as a clipper barque, so as to take the greatest possible advantage, on all occasions, of a leading wind. We regret to learn that a serious accident had taken place on board the Simla just previous to the disaster to her screw-propeller, the third engineer having been killed by falling down the engine-room upon the work ing parts of the machinery. The unfor.unate man was dreadfully mangled, and died almost instantaneously. THE CITY OF GLASGOW STEAMER.—The New York Journal of Commerce publishes the following report by the captain of the schooner Canton, arrived at New York, and remarks upon it :—" April 12, saw a steam propeller off Achhn's Island (Bahamas), from five to eight miles distant—sails furled ; she was undoubtedly lying at anchor, as she was head to wind. There did not appear to be anything the matter with her. Saw no one on board. Several small vessels, ap parently wreckers, were in the vicinity, but did not appear to be going to or coming from her. She was apparently about 1,000 tons burden ; sup posed her to have been a surveying vessel." We further learn verbally thatshe had windsails set, —noflags ; the stack very short and back, between the fore and main masts—nearer to the latter. The distance between the fore and main masts was noticed as being consider able; that between the main and mizen very much less. Boats were hanging on the quarter and at the stern. The vessel stood very high out of the water. The fol lowing is a minute description of the City of Glasgow : Built of iron ; 1,810 tons register, but at sea appears much smaller ; length over all, 258 feet •, breadth, 34feet 3 inches ; 350-horse power ; sides black, bottom dark yellow, white full-length female figurehead, scroll work and name board on each bow - imitation quarter galleries ; had no bulwarks proper, but network around her supported by an iron rail, painted yellow, which might easily be mistaken at a distance for wood work; decks yellow•; was barque rigged, with bow sprit and jibboom ; her smokestack, which was black, with a white ring near the top, was abaft the foremast ; house on deck also abaft the foremast; she carried the American ensign at the fore ; blue pennant, red edges, with her name in it, at the main ; blue signal, with a black star in it, at the mizen, and the British ensign at the wizen gaff. Captain Johnson further states that he is positive that the above vessel was afloat ; that if she was in distress she could not have been in the position reported— viz., to windward. Had she' been in dis tress she would probably have come through the Maya guana passage, and made some of the more windward islands. The passengers by the Canton also state their belief that this vessel was not in distress, and also to the best of their knowledge that there was no white about her smokestack ; and one of them still further states that he has seen the City of Glasgow, and is pretty positive that it was not she. Captain Johnson also states that in his judgment, and allowing for the distance from him, she was not over 1,000 tons burden, that she was either a war or surveying vessel, and that as it was contemplated to. build a lighthouse at or near that she might have leen there for the purpose of which is also the opinion of the fi l z o i e n locali ty, i the site ; passengers. T H E MAILS—LIVERPOOL, Ma 13.—The British and y North American mail steamer America, Lang com mander, took her departure hence to-day for Boston, with a large number of passengers, a full cargo, and a heavy mail. The South American and General Steam Navigation Company's screw steamer Brasileira is re ported to have reached Bahia on the morning of the 14th ult., being 204 days' passage from Liverpool, and that she sailed on the following day for Rio Janeiro, booked full of passengers and cargo. She will be due at Liver pool on the 27th or 28th inst. La Plata, belonging to the same company, reached Pernambuco on the 7th ult., lowing day for the Rive r Plate. Their new steamer, 21 days passage from H ol y head, and sailed on the fol. the Bahiana, sails hence on the Ist of June, and will be succeeded by the Lusitan ia on the 24th. The report that these fine steamers are under offer to the Govern =eat for the conveyance of troops is, therefore, in correct. THE WAR NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. Captain Mansel arrived at Portsmouth and took his commission to the Powerful, 84, on Saturday night. The men belonging to the Royal yacht and other ships, who navigated Cie Portland from Portsmouth to Devonport, returned on Saturday in the Sprightly steam•vessel, Master Commander Allen. The Rhadatnanthus, steam-transport, Master-Com mander Belam, landed stores at Portsmouth Dockyard on Saturday, and sailed in the evening for Woolwich, taking supernumeraries. The Brisk, 14, screw-corvette, Commander Seymour, will be ready to go to Spithead this day, and to follow the Eurydice to the North Sea. No. 40 transport put in at Spithead on Friday.even ing from the Channel and sailed on Saturday morning for the westward. The Pigmy, 3, steam gun-boat, Lieutenant-Com mander Hunt, shipped her powder and shell on Sunday morning and left for the Downs, en route to the Baltic. His Danish Majesty's frigate Tordenskiold, Captain Direkinck, from Copenhagen on the let of May, hove to outside Plymouth Sound on Sunday morning, and the captain landed for letters. The frigate carries 44 30-poundeze, and is bound for St. Thomas and the West India station. 80 miles north of the Galloper light vessel, in the North Sea, she passed the French fleet, consisting of four line-of-battle-ships and four frigates. The hospital ship Belleisle, CominanderJames Hosken, sailed from Plymouth on Saturday afternoon for the Baltic. A. party of men has been sent from the Impreg nable and the Royal William to navigate the Belleisle to the Downs. The crew of the steam gunvessel Jasper, Lieutenant- Commander Crawley, were paid wages on Friday, and the next day she left Plymouth Sound for the Baltic. The steam-sloop Strornboli arrived at Plymouth on Saturday from a cruise in the Channel. Captain Curry, First Lieutenant Usher, and Second Lieutenant Napier, with two sergeanti, two corporals, one fifer, and 90 privates, embarked on Saturday on board the Calcutta, 84, Captain Stopford. The Nautilus apprentices brig went down:Channel by the Eddystone on Saturday afternoon. The Brazilian Government steam-vessel Santa Cruz, built in London, which injured her boilers coming down Channel, and put into Torbay, was towed into Plymouth Sound on Saturday by the steam-vessel Brunswick, Portsmouth trader, Capt. T. Russell. Mr. J. C. Barlow, Master (late of the Waterloo, 120) took up his commission at Sheerness on Saturday, and joined the Formidable, 84, guardship of ordinary, Capt. Superintendent Christopher Wyvill. Mr. John Edg combe Skinner, clerk's-assistant (first appointment), has also taken up his commission and joined. The ship is progressing very slowly in her fitment as regards her rigging, in consequence of the riggers being stationed on work more urgently required for immediate service. The Wellesley, 72 guns, guardship of ordinary at Chat ham, Capt.-Superintendent Peter Richards, C. 8., &c., is progressing smartly with her rigging under the direc tions of Mr. C. Gahan, Master of the Poictiers. They are!setting up all her lower standing rigging, and she has been coppered up to her deep water line. It is the in tention of the Admiralty that this ship and the Formida ble shall be fitted and stowed so as to be ready fur sea on the shortest notice. The Hannibal, 90 guns, new screw steamship, Captain the Hon. F. W. Grey, at Chatham, has her masts and spars all a-taut, her topmasts rigging ratlined down, and her lower rigging fore and aft is all ready for being rat lined. She has now upwards of 500 men on her books. The seamen of the Waterwitch, 8-gun sloop, Corn. A. H. Gardner, are to be paid their wages, and will pro ceed on immediate service in another ship. Vice-Admi ral the Hon. Josceline Percy has been pleased to say he will use his influence with the Admiralty for their mess not to be broken up, but to get them all draughted to the same ship. The officers are also to be paid their wages, and proceed into other ships for duty, as directed by the Admiralty. Tte Waterwitch will not be commis sioned again, as she requires very considerable repairs in her topsides, caused by the excessive straining of the rigging and masts on the upper parts of her hull, fore and aft. The captains and commanders of the shipping fitting out in this port at present, are all trying to gain for their respective ships this little handful of blue jackets. The Janus, 4 guns, paddlewheel steam-vessel, Lieu tenat-Commander Colin C. A. Kane, remains waiting for orders to proceed on particular service. The Rus sian seamen she brought round have all been sent to the receiving ship Crocodile, where they were eagerly sought for by shipowners in the port of London, and engaged at wages rating from 3/. to 6/. per month. We were premature in stating, as we' did on Friday last, that the Russian brigantine Johanna Emilie, ar• rived here under false colours, had been condemned. We have learnt that the case is at present undergnii:g inves tigation by the Admiralty proctor. The capture was effected jointly by the three landing surveyors stationed at the London Docks. Of the fate of the vessel there is little doubt—she will be confiscated, but the consignees anticipate release of the cargo, on the plea that it was shipped at Lisbon on the supposition that the vessel was Hanoverian, having been advertised as such—by which they were deceived. The Soufflier iron war steamer, belonging to the French Government, and in command of Captain Man tra; entered the Tyne on Friday to coal and adjust her compasses. She left on Saturday morning for the Baltic. She is a handsome new vessel, evidently of great speed, and is from Cherbourg. The officers and men, the few hours they had to spend on shore, met a hearty recep tion from the inhabitants of Shields. Captain Sherringlsam, who has visited several of the Devonshire towns to enrol men as Coast Volunteers, was at Appledore, in the North of Devon, last week. After explaining the object of his visit, the gallant captain succeeded in enrolling more than 20 of the watermen, pilots, and coasters of the place. In joining this new corps the men are consulting their pecuniary interests, inasmuch as they receive 16s. per week while on duty, and all their travelling expenses are paid ; in addition to which they are found provisions if exercised on board ship, and that too in the most dreary month of February, when there is scarcely anything doing on the sea or on the river. By the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamship Sultan, which arrived at Southampton on Saturday, we have dates from Gibraltar to the 6th inst. The British transports Bombay and St. Vincent, with troops, passed the Straits of Gibraltar on the 3d inst. The Eveline and Blundell, having detachments of the 17th Lancers on board under command of Lieutenant-Colonel Lawren son, put into Gibraltar on the 3d, haviug lost four horses al the voyage. They proceeded on the same day for the East. Her Majesty's steam troop-ship Dilegwra, with the 38th on board, passed the Straits on the 4th inst. The second division of the 89th Foot, under command of Major the Hon. Charles Daly, arrived on the 3d in the ship Goinebza, seven days from Cork. They disem barked the same day, and marched to Windmill-hill Barracks. It is positively stated that an Anglo-French army will occupy Greece before the month of June shall have been many days old. The army of occupation, it is said, will consist of somewhere about 15,000 men, of which 10,000 will be contributed by the French, The regiments forming the English portion of the force either have already received. or will in a few hours hence receive, their orders for immediate embarkation. They are the 20th Regiment, at Plymouth ; the 34th and Ist battalion of the Rifle Bri gade, at Portsmouth ; the 21st and 63d, in Dublin ; and the 97th, at Windsor. As soon as the steam -transports are ready (and all haste is being made to make them so), these troops will embark. The departure of the above troops will leave the head-quarters of only four or five in fantry regiments in the kingdom, and it is in consequence determined on to call out some 15 or 20 of the best trained regiments of the English militia for garrison duty in this country and in Ireland. Captain George E. Hillier, half-pay 80th Regiment, has been appointed Deputy-Assistant Adiutant.General in Dublin, in succession to Captain Mackenzie, 92d Highlanders, nominated Brigade -Major to Brigadier- General Airey, on the staff of the army in Turkey. The situation of Assistant Military Secretary is vacant by the resignation of Captain Hillier. The head-quarters of the 12th Regiment arrived in Cork on Thursday by train front Dublin. The fourth troop of the 11th Hussars embarked at Kingston on Friday. Tho fifth and last troop of this fine regiment Will go on board thi s day (Monday). Their departure is greatly regretted. A better behaved corps, both privates and officers, never formed part of the Dub lin garrison. The order for the 97th Regiment to march from the Sheet-street Barracks. Windsor, on Monday (this day), has been countermanded in consequence of the American steam-ship Orinoco not being in a sufficient state of readiness to proceed immediately with the troops to the Mediterranean. The day for the departure of this regi ment front Windsor is now fixed for Monday the 22d instant. VICTORIA RIFLES.—The Duke of Wellington, and not the Marquis of Salisbury, as erroneously stated, holds the rank of lientenantscnlonel in this corps. FOOD FOR THE BRITISII TROOPS IN TURKET.--The authorities at the Horse Guards have bad under their consideration a newly-invented meat cake, which seems to be admirably adapted for soldiers engaged in a cam paign like that in which we are about to embark in Turkey. Each cake affords three good meals, weighs 71 ounces, divided in three rations of 2 ounces each, which can be eaten dry, or when broken up and mixed with warm or cold water affords a nutritious soup. These meat cakes are easily stowed away, and a soldier might, with ease, carry a dozen in his haversack, to be used as reserved rations whenever the supply of other provisions failed, thereby being independent of the com missariat for twelve days. Mr. O'Brien, in the second edition of "A Residence in Wallachia," referring to this invention, says, " I have more than once tasted the soup made from these cakes, amid found it excellent. Mr. Celquhnun approved of them so highly that he sent some .to Constantinople, with a recommendation that they should be used in the Turkish army. I understand it is the intention of Mr. Pouteau, the inventor, in con junction with his brother, who resides in London, to establish a manufactory of these meat cakes and other provisions, and to supply them at moderate price to THE ROYAL ALBERT. FURTHER PARTICULARS. There was a general belief on Saturday morning that this noble vessel would be christened by the Princess Royal ; and even after the ceremony was over, those who viewed it from a distance persisted in saying that this youthful Royal personage performed the baptismal rite in honour of her distinguished father. The account of the launch in our Saturday's edition stated the fact correctly—viz., that it was her Majesty who stepped forward and broke the bottle of wine against the bow of the Royal Albert. We find, however, that a Sunday contemporary fell into the error of attributing the act to the Princess, and two morning journals to-day repeat the mistake. In addition to the particulars we have already given of the interesting event, we may mention that it was Sir J. Graham who handed the bottle to her Majesty, and explained the manner in which it was to be thrown. The bottle was a small one, of clear crystal, filled with sherry, covered with fine thick Honiton lace, and having two wreaths of roses, thistles, and shamrocks entwined round it. It was attached to the good ship by silver cord. The following details of the size, tonnage, and con• struction of this ship will be read with interest :—The Prince Albert bas beeu-sotnewhat constructing ; in this, as in many other particulars, dif fering widely from the old school of naval ship-building, when it was no unusual thing to hear of ships of the line being as many as thirty or forty years upon the stocks. Mr. Oliver Lang, late master shipwright of the dock- yard, had the honour of designing her, and her keel was laid down on the anniversary of Prince Albert's birthday, August 26, 1842. It was originally intended that she should be a sailing ship of the line, but the value of the screw as an auxiliary propelling power for men-of-war was shortly afterwards demonstrated, and when she was more than three-fourths completed, in January, 1852, she was altered to a screw ship of the line, lengthened by 15 feet, thereby adding about 300 tons to her esti mated tonnage, and making room for the screw-propeller and its maclinery. Her carpentry and interior con struction differs materially from the former mode o+ shipbuilding ; great mechanical skill has been exhibited in the diagonal bearings, and other additional strength- enings she has received to enable her to withstand the shock of her powerful armament ; and Mr. Rice, the present master shipwright, by whom her completion has been carried to a successful issue, has exhibited much good taste and ability in finishing off the details. The engines are being fitted by Messrs. Peon and Co. ; they are of the patent trunk principle, and of 500 horse-power It may be not uninteresting here to glance at the pro gressive improvements that have taken place in the size, construction, and armament of our men-of•war within the last fifty years. It is unnecessary to go back to the days of Henry VIII., when Woolwich was first raised to the dignity of a royal dockyard, and when we find the bluff monarch personally inspecting the new ship that had been built for and named after him, the Harry Grace A Dieu, the largest vessel ever built up to its time, 1515. The destiny of this vessel was peculiar and unfor tunate, as she was burned forty years afterwards in the dockyard in which she had been built. Although she was at the time the wonder and admiration of the world, the Harry Grace A Dieu would have but a poor chance with one of the smallest frigates recently despatched to the Black Sea or the Baltic. Coming down to a period only fifty years ago, let us take the Victory, of 104 guns, in which Nelson achieved his crowning triumph and met his death, in the moment of victory. In her day she was regarded as the perfection of a line-of battle ship. She carried 104 guns, and measured 186 feet in length. Her breadth way 524 feet. and her bur den 2,162 tons, while the weight of her broadside was . nine hundred pounds. Advanc in g thirty years later we have the Caledonia as a model. She carried 120 guns—her length is increased to 205 feet—she is about a foot broader in the beam ; there is an addition of 600 tons to her burden, which is about 2,750 tons, while the weight of her broad-ide of metal is nearly double that of the Victory-, or about 1,7501b5. Before us is the latest effort of naval science, and it is only' by a contrast such as we have been making, or by comparing her side by side with a line-of-battle ship of a former period, that we can fully estimate her gigantic size, or tremendous power. If the thing were practicable, there would be no difficulty as regards space in placing the Caledonia in her hold. The extreme length of the Royal Albert is 276 feet, she is therefore 30 feet longer than the Duke of Wellington, and her extreme breadth 61 feet ; her bur den is 3,760 tons, and the weight of her broadside of metal more than four times that of the Victory, and more than double that of the Caledonia, or close upon 4,0001b5. The mere weight of timber and iron in her hull alone is 3,000 tons, and when thoroughly fitted and equipped the weight is no isse than 5,000 tons. A peep at her interior discovers to us the resources and arran,re inents of a little town, for such we may not inappropri ately consider the popnlation of 1,100 omen by whom she will be manned. There are no less than five decks de scending gradually till we arrive at the recesses of the hold, where are placed the stores, the magazines, and the machinery. On the upper deck is the poop, where the commander usually takes his station, the quarter deck, the gangways, and in front the forecastle. Below this is the main deck, the great working part of the slop ; the third is termed the middle deck, and the fourth the lower, or gun-deck, oti which the heaviest guns are generally placed, and the flooring. of which is constructed with unusual regard to strength and soli dity. This lower deck is some six or seven feet above the water line, so that the ports may be opened and the guns may be worked with safety even in a rough sea, and here we leave the light of day and descend below the level of the water to the orlop deck, where the cock pits are placed. A stray shot will occasionally find its way even here ; but several feet lower down, where lies the gunpowder to the amount of some forty or fifty tons, stored away in the fore and after part of the hold, all is darkness and gloor—and all, it is hoped, is perfectly secure from an accidental spark. These magazines are approached by passages and guarded by strong doors, which are never opened until every fire and light in the ship (except the Argand lamp, which lights the maga zine, and which has its socket surrounded by water), is extinguished. Attached to the magazine is a pipe con nected with a cistern of water, so that in case of fire it may be in a minute or two inundated. But in the event of the magazine being flooded, the ammunition is per fectly safe--the cartridges are in hermetically sealed zinc cases, so that by means of another stop cock the water can be turned off, and the ammunition is again fit for use. While these precautions are taken with regard to the safety of the ship, her machinery is also equally well protected. The coals are stowed away in bunkers to a thickness of twelve feet on each side of her engine room, so as to render it impervious to shot. The screw itself will weigh about ten tons, independently of the shaft, a beam of wrought iron of a weight and dimensions almost incredible, if we did not take into account the tremendous power required to impel a float , ing mass of some five or six thousands tons, at a speed of 12 or 13 miles an hour through the water. The screw can be readily detached and hoisted on deck in a few minutes, while being so deeply submerged when iu its proper position it is out of the range of shot. It is estimated that the speed of the Prince Albert will be 13 miles an hour, and at this speed, with her tremendous weight and power, she would cut an ordinary man-of war to the water's edge without firing a shot. Her armament will be arranged as follows ; on the lower deck there will be ten 8-inch guns for firing shells or hollow shot, and twenty-six long 32-pounder guns. On the middle deck will be six 8-inch gun , , and thirty 32-pounders. On the main deck, thirty-eight 32- pounders, and on the upper deck twenty 32-pounders. On the forecastle there will be a 68-pounder gun, mounted on a pivot, and this last will be one of the most formidable of all. The gun will weigh five tons, and will throw a solid iron shot of 681 b. weight a distance of three miles. if any one has stood upon the platform of a battery when heavy guns have been fired, lie must have witnessed how, after a few discharges, the massive granite and the solidly-knitted oak and iron framework has been shaken and dislocated by the force of the concus sion, and he can fancy what must be the strength of the timbers of a man-of-war when a whole tier or broadside of these guns is discharged at once. The total number of guns will be 131. The Royal Albert is, however, pierced for 140 guns, to which amount her actual armament might be increased by the addition of nine light guns. TRE RUSSIAN FRIGATE DlANA..—Advices from Val paraiso to the 3d alt. state that the 'Dian a, 52, left Valparaiso on the 23 , 1 of March for Sandwich Islands. The French frigate Forte. GO, left at the same time for Callao. A Valparaiso paper says : During the time the Russian frigate was in port her officers and men were often on shore. The officers are remarkably intelligent, well-bred, and good-looking men, and have by their urbanity, affability, and gentlemanly deport ment secured the esteem and good wishes of many persons here, both native and foreign. When questioned as to the prospect of war between Russia and France and Great Britain, they were naturally reserved. But when asked, in reference to the probability of a hostile encoun ter between the Diana and President, what were their opinions of the issue, the Russian commander was only heard to say---' We shall never strike our flag.' From the appearance and character of the officers and men, we can readily believe that t he y are ca p abl e of keeping their word, and would rather sink with their ship than survive the disgrace of a defeat." English coals were selling at $l6 to $l7. Freights to England were quoted at 41. 10s, to 51.10 x. %~~ .~ ~G [PRICE.SD. THE GREEKS. (Front the Weekly Dispatch,.) It is surely something more certain and less unpre meditated than mere chance which has given to the Emperor of all the Russias his Christian name. St. Nicholas, as all know who study the Popish calendar, is the tutelar of thieves. To the simple thinking of any " plaint blunt man, that loves his friend," it may appear matter of surprise that the meatiest of the vices should have an evangelical guardian angel to watch over its votaries. "This was for sometime a paradox—but now the age gives it reason." After all, it is not so very ex traordinary that, in the intervals of business, burglary or petty larceny should b e o f a " ser i ous turn of mind." Macbeth indeed admits that ''Amen stuck in his throat," but he very justly observes, after Duncan was regularly taken in and done for, that the crown stealer "IL most need of praying." The Czar is the most pious of pick pockets. He never annexes until lie has said grace. His proclamations all declare that he only steals for the sake of his religion ; his burglaries have for their exclusive object the propagation of the Gospel. He is truly the Moses Moses of monarchs. His empire is male up of thefts. It is a " hack shop " of unconsidered trifles, a bazaar of stolen goods. The ethnology of of Muscovy is as piebald as a circus horse, made up of more patches than Harlequin's suit of motley. Chinese, Caltnuck, Tartar, Persian, Circassian—Geor gian, Greek, Fin, Turk, Satuoiede—Mongolian, Sclave, Cossack, Pule, Armenian European, Asiatic- and American—his dominion is the marine store-shop of the nations, filled too by the same means, with but this dif ference, that, n the case of his Imperial Majesty, the receiver is also the thief. Who that examines his ante cendents can doubt as to his present resolves, or future inteutions ? It was said by Napoleon that without the permission of France and England no hostile shot could be fired in Europe. Peter the Great perfectly understood e ttni s t—and lets to his successors a corresp ondin g p olicy. As the swindler 1 oorrarviiTeirffdiiiiMilleen . the footpad—as the light finger is a more elegant as well as successful instrument than the crowbar—as Count Cagliostro was a far superior artist to Jack Sheppard — so the Czar has always regarded war as a very low and clumsy method of compassing " annexation.' A political map of the Russian empire is one of the most startling of modern pictures. Wylil has put upon its parts the various periods of their acquisi tion. It looks as if it were made up entirely of pick ings and stealings. Here from Persia, there from Turkey, now from Sweden, again from China, or Poland, and nearly all within a century and a half, the cribbed portions make up so much as to leave the ori g inal hotnestall of Muscovy an insignificant patrimony. All have exactly the same history. The reigning thief casts about him to see where among his neighbours discontent is greatest, or treason most practicable. Thither in secret, or on a friendly visit, he sends his agents and his roubles. Cor ruption and faction-nursing do their work. Rebellion arises—revolution threatens. The Emperor of All the • Russias enters the disturbed districts to "restore tran quillity " which he alone had interrupted. A little more intrigue, treachery, bribery, ripens a friendly intervention into a protectorate—and from the latter the step is in sensible, gradual and easy, to "incorporation" into the great Muscovite empire. These "taking ways" have become peculiarly obvious and transparent in the case of Turkey. In every absolute Court there is a strong Russian party. The Emperor of Austria is a mere regal imbecility. The King of Prussia is a miserable sot, who breaks the bridge of his nose after dinner by running against his cherry trees in his garden. Half the courtiers of every German potentate are the mere pensionaries of the Czar. • Their silence or sympathy purchased, he proceeds to " restore tranquillity " to the Crimea. He pities the Wallachians and Moldavians. He is grieved at the turbulence of the Circassians. "You know the rest." Thesis have merely his political sym pathies. But the Greeks ! are they not Christians ? Are they not of his own Church ? Can he be blamed for the depth of his interest in, and the intensity of his affection for, fellow worshippers, persecuted for con science sake by the heathen and the infidel ? So lie takes the Greek subjects of the Sultan into pay. He corrupts the old Mussulman faction in the Divan. He opens communications with, lie subsidises, the patriarchs and other priests of the Greek church in Turkey. He " remonstrates" through his Ambassadors with the Porte on the persecution of his Greek subjects. He gradually accustoms the latter to turn from their own Sovereign, and to took to him as their protector. He smuggles un considered clauses into protocols and treaties, which begin with recognising his access to the Sultan as a mere friendly adviser in reference to his dealings with his Christian subjects, and are gradually swelled by jesu itical misinterpretation into the assertion of a right to protect them against their own lawful monarch. Then clines the " got up quarrel," which is the pretext for his entering Moldaviato restore tranquillity, and now in place of incorporation. lie is brought face to face with the power • of France and England. The plot is begun afar off. He approaches the Hellenes of Turkey through those of Greece. King. Otho and his rascals are his mere sti pendiaries. lie intrigues with the vagabonds of the lonian Islands. lie gets the Greeks of Turkey to transfer their allegiance from the Sultan to himself or the Gerniae or ether Sovereigns, so that their Ambits sailors may become protectors of the Sultan's own people against his lawful authority. He induces Otho to " try it oim" with England in the case of Don Pacific.. He nurses the offence of sheltering the Polish and Hun gerian refugees into a quarrel, until Lord Palmerston orders our fleet to the Dardaeelles. See what has oc• curred now. No sooner do France and England declare war against him, than he wheedles Servia into rebellion, and I b t.lie entire Greek nation everywhere rises at his signal of revolt. He even tells Austria that lie will ann Poland, and set up Flung , ry in array. Mr. Cobden has taken for his clients the Greek houses in England trading with Turkey. He denounces the pro clamation of the Sultan ordering out of his dominions all Greeks, subjects of Otho. Yet what c'ul'l lie do ? As a measure of safety whet would we .1,), if, when our very existence as a nation was perilled, we had in the very centre of our duminions persons who had renounced our allegiance to set up against us the protection of other POwers, and who were secretly abetting treason and rebellion against us by their sympathisers ? These London and Manchester houses have been detected in the fact of raising subscriptions in aid of the Greek revolt—many of them have avowed it—and yet they have the consummate effrontery to complain of the only measures open to the Sultan to secure even the very seat of his Government from the dengerous censeqeencee of their intrigues. A sort of sentimental sympathy, a poetical pity, for these Greeks requires exemlimatien. Russian agents, who fluid that there is no longer any chance of detaching any trillion of public opinion in this country in favour of the cause of their tyrant, now endeavour to write up Hellenism, and advocate the erection of the Greek nation into a great federal re public. We do not doubt that the Sultan would gladly get rid of them. We are very certain that no Power but Russia would oppose the establishment of a Greek kingdom, or a Hellenic federal republic. But the truth must be told—" 'Tis Greece, bat living Greece no more." Some great delusion appears to exist as to the numbers of the Greeks. The lonian Islands can only muster 220,000 souls. The subjects of King Otho do not reach 1,000,000. We cannot trace in Turkey more than a million and a leaf. They cannot make up a national census of three millions among them all. It is impossible to make a political Power in the East of Europe out of such materials, It it were practicable in time abstract, the Greeks are incapable of executing the mission. In England their merchants are despised and mistrusted: They are without integrity or principle. In London " Greek-houses," as a general rule, are regarded as not worthy of reliance. The term " levanting, ' which means absconding from one's engage ments, owes its origin to the conduct of trading concerns in the city connected with the Levant. The fact is, the Greeks, as a people, have passions, but no heal ts. T he y are moved by impulses, not by principles. Without ear nestness, moral intensity, anything sincerely believed or the object of any active faith, either mentally or morally or theologically (although they are abundantly supersti. thus), they do not present any spiritual elements out of which a nation can be made. They have a republic in the lonian Islands—yet they prove themselves utterly incapable of government, entirely unworthy of freedom—we are inclined to suspect even unfit to form an independent society susceptible of any permanent cohesion. They have a constitutional mo narchy under King Otho—what progress have they made since they were redeemed from Turkey ? To call theta a nation is ridiculous. They are a confused Babel crowd of unmitigated scoundrels, without honour, humanity, or courage. In Turkey it is not surprising -that th e y are despised. There is but too much reason for Turks refusing accepting their testimony in courts of law. They are now to Europe at large what in the time of Augustus they were to Rome. They cannot he honest. It is not in their nature to speak the truth. They know not what faithfulness or gratitude means. They are the ready instruments of every wrong-doer who will buy them, and the alert panders of every vice. That ' the Turks conquered them—that they rule them and keep them down now—that a mere handful of Osmanlis have quashed their revolt and crushed them into obe dience —these are facts which prove equally the vast superiority of the one and the futile ineffectuality of the other. The fact is, the Muesulmans are honest, true, have deep moral convictions, and manfully a,ct, upon them, whilst the Greek Christians are, and have, neither the one nor the other. Of the one there is hope, but Ilene of the other. Time attempt to embark our theological sympathies on the side of Russia and Greece is really to libel Christianity. lie who knowine not his master's will yet obeyed it was accepted, when the disobedient professor was rejected. The Samaritan was declared to be the neighbour of the Jew who fell among theives, when the orthodox priest and Levite were utterly Clisowned. Net every one who crieth "Lord ! Lord !" but he who executes his precepts, is the true disciple. That because a cruel, unscrupulous, rapacious, and snivelling tyrant declares that his sole object in stealing his neighbour's kingdom from him is to extend the kingdom of Christ, a crew of book -making clerical quacks should crown him as the providential messenger of God, to universalize the reign of the Re deemer, is only.too Painful a proof of the fact that ortho doxy regards the Gospel not as a code of moral prin ciples, lilt as a mere farrago of articles of belie, to be apprehended only opeOnlatively, and !wallowed by ? f D C/ ?":"" omnivorous credulity, without ever being masticated by the reason, or digested by the conscience. We repeat our convict on that the Turks are really nearer the " kingdom of God, which conieth not with observation," than the Greeks or the Muscovites. While it is quite possible that this war may become the means- of turning the professors of Al Koran to the Gospel, it wilt not be by either the precepts of the Greek tuitri• archs or the practices of the Czar. The English . and French allies of the Sultan are, in tbis.case, the 'true' aries of Christiaiaty. Tae extension of the do minion of Ru.sia is but the propagation of superstition snub paganism, usurping the name of true religion. Before she can evangelise the Turk, it is .•firgt• of all necessary that she herself should be converted^—andOve may add, that the mind and thought of the Tuticare in a far better state of preparation to reueiye the seed of-thie. "idingdom of heaven" than the unprincipled Hellene; or the heathen' Muscovite. " Thou art not tar from . the kingdom'of God," said the author of our faith to one who had never heard of the Gospel. The virtues of the Osmanlee are much nearer the religion of Christ than is the mere creed of the Greek Church. "OLD CLIARI EY," AND HIS TIMES. ( From the Pras. ) Having last week taken a historical review of the an. tecedents of the family of Napier, is the present number of the Press, Pilot will commence his account of the per sonal exploit.; of "Old Charley" himself. He was born on the 6th of March, 1786, being the eldest son of. the Hon. Charles Napier, of Merchistoun-ball, county of Stirling, Captain 11, N. Thus, as " Old Charley" counts a Vice-Admiral of Sc d.land amongst his ancestors, 114 own father was a captain in the profession to which be has devoted his life. His mother MeV Cbtiltiati, daughter of Gabriel Hamilton, Esq., of Westburn, county of Lanark. The admiral is grandsonlby first marriage) of Francis, fifth Lord Napier, bother of Colonel Erskine Napier, and cousin of the late Lord Napier, who died while discharging the office of Chief Commissioner for regulating the trade with Chins. He entered the Navy on the Ist of November, 1799, being then 13 years of age, so that he has been afloat 55 years. He joined as a first-class volunteer, and the first King's ship in which he served was the Martin sloop, commanded by the Hon. Matthew St. Clair. It is probable that young Charley (as he was then) WAS who, like hiliiiielfspru tom sTraliious ii... s . tish family. The Martin wa s em pl oye d i n serv i ce in -th; North Sea, but her captain was nnfortunatysteelylyun:oosto Yarmouth' in 1800, in the spring of which Napier removed to the .Renown, a 74-gun ship, car rying the flag of Sir John Borlase Warren. That gallant admiral, though not one of onr first-chow naval celebrities, was a very distinguished officer. He bad joined the navy at a very early age, but after making a voyage or two Ile entered himself at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, where he became pupil to Martyn, the eminent botanist. On attaining his mai .ri , • 'ty, Warren purchased Lundy Island , in the Bri tish Channel, and amused himself for time yachting, and afterwards again joined the navy, in which he rose to eminence. Under that admiral young Napier went oa the expedition to Ferrol, and proceeded to the Mediter ranean, where, in November, 1802, he became a mid shipman, on board the Greyhound, 32 guns, commanded by Captain W. Hoste. He afterwards shifted to the Egyptienne, 40 guns, in which he made a visit to St. Helena, and in 1804-5 he successively joined the Me diator and Renoruinee frigates. He was made a lieu. tenant on the 30th of November, 1805, into the Coura geux, 74, Captain Richard Lee. sa Those were stirring times when Napier was com mencing his career. The country looked to the navy as its defence against foreign invasion, and as its principal resource in asserting its rank amongst nations. The prowess of our army had not as yet been proved in the Peninsular campaigns, and it is not too much to say that the blue jackets were far morepopular than the red coats. There are some still living who remember with what enthusiasm the most eminent of the naval heroes of that time were hailed on their appearance on public occasions. The highest place was accorded to them at the feast, and the most beautiful partners assigned to them in the hall-room. They had dispelled the panic of invasion, sustained our public credit, and given additional glory to our historical annals ! The musical piece of " The Waterman" enjoyed an amazing run in thou days, and Dibdin's words and Incledon's tones were familiar to every tongue and ear. One can easily imagine how, in such times, a bold dashing spirit like that of Napier panted to .have an opportunity of . performing some gallant exploit. Nor was he long 'without an opportunity of proving of what stuff he was composed. Though after Tra falgar the enemy did not attempt to dispute, the command of the ocean, he endeavoured to ar.noy our commerce and insult our colonies} ; . by, detach ing his ships-of-war in various directions. Tile Courageux, in which Napier was a lieutenant, was part of time squadron commanded by Sir John Borlase War ren, when, on the 13th of March, 1806, the Marengo and Belle Poule were captured ; and, having shown his energy and zeal for the service in a variety of ways, Napier, in 1807, was made acting commander of the Pultusk brig, then serving in the West Indies, and the Admiralty confirmed the appointment in the same year, so that he was a commander at twenty- ne years of age. In 1808 Napier was appointed to the Recruit, an 18- gun sloop, on the West Indian station, and in her he fought his first action on his own account, and right gallantly he fought it. There was at that time a note , French corvetna calied the Diligente, carrying 24 guns, and manned by 140 men. She was com manded by a brave and vigilant officer, Captain Le itriresquier, and she had bafflA the efforts of our best ships either to take or damage her.. On the 6th of Sept., ISOS, Napier was cruising iii lat. 17 deg. 50 min. north, and long., from Greenwich, 58 deg. 20 ni. west. The wind was east by nettle and a couple of hours after dawn, while Napier was stantling closehauled on the starboard tack, he i:iscovered theDiligente, in the N.E.. going tree on the larboard tack, iii the direction of Mar tinique. The Recruit immediately tacked, and Napieit hoi-ted every rag of canvas that he could spread. At half-past 7 in the morning he fired two shots . at the Dili gente, and hoisted his colours. A little after eight the Diligente also tacked, as her skilful captain endeavoured to keep the weather-gage, arid shortly afterwards he hoisted a French en.ign. . At half past eight the two vessels passed each other within pi-tog shot, the Recruit on the larboard, and the Diligente on td!e starboard tack. They exchanged broadsides, and at the very first discharge Napier received a severe wound, from which he •still suffers, :as is seen in his limping gait. His_ . thigh was broken, and Vie officas in vale endeavoured to per suade him to go below ; bet that would not meet Vie disposition of one who was not only '' ready" but aye ready." After delivering three broadsides the two vessels then passed out of :sin shot, but tacked, and again exchaseed broadside... The algente then wore, situ the intention ..f raking the Reciut astern. But Napier was the ciever Frenchman's match at everything and lie wore also, and brought the French ship to close action with the larboard guns. The two vessels then continued manoeuvring and discharging at each other, and, though severely cutting up the rigging, the Re cruits crew did not suffer much from the enemy's fire ; but her second lieutenant was seriously wounded. At half-past eleven the superior weight in guns of the Frenchman told upon the Recruit, whose mainmast fell overboard, and hues , down the stern, trailing in the sea. Napier then worked his bow guns as bard as be could, and, recollecting Nelson's maxim, " Always board a Frenchman, but outmanceuvre a Russian," he made several attempts to board the Diligente, but the latter adroitely sheered off and succeeded in raking the Re cruit ; and, in the disabled state of the smaller English vessel, there was every chance that the Frenchman would be enabled again to rake her. While making the attempt to do so, a rattling fire was kept up from the Recruit, which blew up a piece of the Diligente's quarter and cut away her boat filled with small-arm men. On, this the Diligente put her helm up, and ran away before the wind. The ships remained within sight of each other, out of gunshot, till the afternoon. Napier and his second lieutenant (as before stated), along with several of his sailors, were wounded, but only one seamen was killed. Every attempt was made by Napier to continue the action, but the Frenchman declined the polite invitation. When Napier, after having rebreeched andretnounted his cannonades, bore up to close again, the Diligente set courses and toggallants, and bore away rapidy. • Napier rigged a jurymast ; but the Recruit was a slow sailer s and before ev en i ng f e ll th e F renc h man was ou t o f s i g ht. The loss of the Frenchman could never be clearly ascertained ; but, • as the Diligente fell into our hands afterwards at the capture of Martinique, we know that she was 370 tons ; and the loss amongst her crew must have been very considerable to justify her captain its scudding away before an English vessel greatly .his inferior in guns and tonnage. In Captain Lemaresquier's account of the action he says that several English ships of-war hove in sight., and that it was from them that be ' ran awar ; but his excuse was like an Old Bai!ey alibi —to be believed in " with great scepticism." The Re cruit was obliged to make her way into the nearest port to get a tiew mast ; and, for the present. Pilot will leave Napier refitting in Carlisle Bay, Barbadoes. PILOT, THE CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETY.—The eighteenth public drawing to determine the rotation of choice an all the estates purchased for distribution amongst the members of the Conservative Land Society took place place ou the 13th inst., at the offices, 33, Norfolk-street , Strand.
