The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful eo n . Sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, end excesses, Which have proauced more misery in Youth, degradatio n i n Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perha p s, any other class of disease known to mo dern pathologists. 1t,,, perusal is Particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of haying hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is o ttitled. It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there are Principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring.,_ grievous penalties, and when w isdom and regret succeed Lae heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical indrmity or functional ae rangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. T he Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have a nfortnnately been too generally confided to the care. of ignorant .f m aries, who inflict great injury en those who are in duced to p lace faith in their pretensions. _ N ERVOUS DEBILITY may be had, price 2 e , of Messrs.

Soots Fusilier Guards -2 officers. 38th Regiment -3 serjeants, 160 men. 44th Regiment -2 officers, 3 serjeants, 150 men. MediCal-1 officer. . NO. 3 Company of the Bth battalion of Royal Artillery, eoturnanded by Captain Traverg, was under orders to leave Plymouth Citadel by the 4 o'clock train yesterday (Sunday), evening for Woolwich. No. 6 company, 13th battalion, statigned at Devonport, will shortly leave for Ireland. No. 3 company, 13th battalion, commanded by Capt. Englefield, will then be tho only Artillery coinpiny at Plymouth: • The /Zoyal mail steam-ship Tnanar Captain R. Revett, left Southampt on On` :Titurday morning for Gib ra lt ar , with the 66th Regiment of Infantry (750 strong), and the 4th company of the Gth battalion of Artillery. The former is to be landed at Gibraltar, to oczupy 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 the Artillery will proceed direct to Balaklava after touching at Gibraltar. The Artillery consists 'of -1,10 men and four officers. The Tarnar will, probably•reaCh Gib ra lt ar i n f our or fi ve d ays ; one day will suffice for landi ng the 66th Regiment, and for - the emVareation of the lather troops, and the run .thence to the Crimek*ast*ably etsMapy from eight to ten days: The Tamar has on board a number of can vas tents, valises, tent poles, pac k saddles, spades and shovels, bales of blankets, and other military stores. A. large number of persons assembled in the docks to wit ness the departure of these troops, and heartily cheered them during their — niarch fronik,the railway to the docks on Friday morning. The Penineular and Oriental Company's steamship Nubia Captain Harris, sailed from Southampton on Saturday afternoon for Toulon, there to take on beard 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 the Peninsular and Oriental' Cora pony, leaving Southampton this day with the Peninsular mails, is to take out a detachment of artillery for Gibral tar. The screw steamer's Norman and John Bowes have been taken up by the Government for the conveyance of stores from Southainpton 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. The Niagara took her departure from Liverpool on Saturday afternoon for Gibraltar, with the 64th Itegi naent;and a detachment of Artillery, under Capt. Camp bell, on board. 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. AUSTRIAN PERFIDY. (From the Times.) , • We do not envy th e Emperor of Austria, if he bear in his breast a single spark of that manly and resolute spirit for which the world has been willing to give him credit, when he read the despatches which describe the ebb and flow of the obstinate and sanguinary Battle of Inkerman. 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 .riero 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 ho 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 bythe hands of others?' The game on which hangs Austria's political exist ence is being played oqt by England and Franco before Sebastopol, and Anstria stands at the case- Major Cole, 17th depot, has returned from leave of absence to make arragements for forming his draught of 200 men, to join the 17th Regiment, for service in the Crimea. Captain Colthurst has also returned from leave of absence. The draught expects to leave Kilkenny next week, and to sail from Cork ora the Ist of December in the Clyde steamer. A large number of volunteers from other regiments have arrived in Kilkenny to join the 17th depot for service in the East. . . meat, like Rebecca, the Jewess, behind her shield, a trembling and impotent spectstress of a drama in which she seems resolved to have no part except tne 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 each of whom she has mortally offended ? We do not pretend to overlook or misunderstand the policy on which Austrian statesmen profess to act. They avow the policy of selfishness, but they forget that selfishness is isola tion, and that Austria cannot afford to be isolated. It is thought a masterstroke of policyto have occunied the Danubian Princip a liti es with th e consen t of one party, and without incurring the immediate hostility of the other, and thus, as it is said, to have secured to Austria the Fr:ze 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 ad vantages 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 prof( siion 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 gam© 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, appanages, and donations. Hence she is composed of the most heterogenous elements of races, held tog ether by the merest vis inertice, each kept down b y 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 everything else, agree at least in this—that they are nations pos sessed of national feeling 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 raising questions to the solution of which Austria can hardly 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 sound 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 Lemont iu 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 au ally. Have they become impos sible now ? Hew many sparks from a French cor poral's pipe would it require to set Italy in 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 t When Austria measures herself against the great Power', 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 we have an enormous interest in the success of our present operations. Give us time, and we can place any number of man 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. 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 64- inches, while that of the 40th and other regiments is only 5 feet 41 inches, the numbers entering are restricted. However, the "Jollies" have obtained about 100, the 40th 80 men, and the 13th AO ; the others have not been very successful. 13 of the South Devon Militia stationed at Davenport 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 averag e, less than the West Somerset. The depot of the 34th Regiment in Plymouth citadel amounts now to about 400 men. During the last week voluntee rs h ave j o i ne d from several 'regiments,lViz.,:OroiVtbe sth Fusiliers 7, 22d Regiment 5, 24th 4,'27th 3,53 d 2, 76th 8, 96th 7, and 83d 5. 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 gore into the marines alone since the circular appeared. OUR CAVALRY REINFORCEMENTS. We understand that Lord George Paget (whose light cavalry exploits on tho 25th of October will nnt soon be forgotten) is on his way home to superintend the preparations for cavalry reinforcements. In no better hands cenld they be, but we aro sorry that the army in the Crimea should lose his services oven for a short time. What can by have to do, however, in that penin sula for some months I The Duke of Newcastle may be able to answer the question. (From the Morning Herald.) " The taking of Sebastopol is new 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 groat imposters which performs in this country the part of the Mormoaite leader in America, and shows that human na ture in all countries is capable if any amount of delu sion, could be astounded at anything with which the great Joe 'Smith of Printing-house-square chooses to adorn his columns. If the ;boy* statements be correct—and mach we fear they are perfectly so—what do they mean ? They m ean this, that 20,000 English troops—the best and bravest soldiers that de, or ever did, exist upon the face of the earth—have been sacrificed fir nothing. The landing at Eupatoria, the battle of the Alma, the march to Earaklava, the three weeks' bombardment and unceasing cannonade, the work in tho trenches, the suf fering, the exposure, the decimation of the army—what were they all far ? 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 front destruction the rem nant of our noble fellow-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 out ; 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 wor ds o f L o rd Fitzfillima in the Upper atm() nearly ~~ [P RICE SD. year ago, and now. repeated by the limo. • Against this, when first uttered, we protested. His lordship owes a heavy debt to the country ' • for the adoption of his ill - assorted adage —contrary to all common sense as it was —has cost us another year of , postponements, and—an , English army. If Lord Fitzwilliam be the man we hope he 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, Oh ! ye hard hearts, ye cruel men of Rome." - What, wo ask, will be the feeling in the hearts of our poor fellows p,t Sebastopol when they learn that their fate is still entrusted to the hands of Newcastle and Aberdeen 9 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 Kinn being. permitted to redeem his luck by being allowed to " play double or quits ?" The loser cannot he worse off, for he has lost everything, and he may reverse his desperate pesitiou 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 left 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 the world and hear the conversation of men of all nations collected in this hug. metropolis. " Your Ministry have sacrificed your army to petty questions and crotchets of finance," said 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. 'lf 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." _ _ vVe 'IA 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 justly, when the Coalition is in no danger ; but let the sea be rough and the frail barque be threatened with destruction, sod 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. Let us for the moment suppose the first assertion to be true—Englishmen will appreciate the gratitude duo to an Administration which sends 30,000 of their best and brav est 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 lefloistry 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 12th 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 render 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 15,000 lives." Is this distinct enough to prove to the Examiner that if the Ministry were ignorant they must have been so wil. fuaf ? We will give them further proofs, merelyobserving that the above statements were repeated in every shape they could be written by us for more than three months isefore 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 Inkerman "We look anxiously for reinforcements, both English and French. You may remember I 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 now."—Camp, Sebastopol, Nov. 7. If the 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. Lot us now bring against the Coalition a witness which even they cannot gainsay. They may assert that they never read our warnings, but they cannot plead the same with regard to the Tines, 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." "The Russians have informed the Government that they shall cross the Prath in five places, aid march at once into the interior, instead of remaining on the fron tiers. The meaning of this is that the troops will be di rected at once against the Allies in the Crimea !"—Times correspondence. .Et to Brute. We suspect the Exvitiner has had enough. 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 j-emoval of the buildings between tke Horse Guards and Great George street, Westminster, as far as Charles-street. It is also proposed to remove tie 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. Dever liouse, 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 Horse 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 Beard of Trade, as refaced by Sir Charles Barry, would remain, and is taken as the basis of the new design; it wou'd form one wing of the facade towards Whitehall : a similar wing would extend from about Fludyer-s , rent to Charles-street, the intermediate space between be inn filled up with a grand centre of considerable height, end a lofty arched entrance. The whole frontage would be about seven huedred 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 looking westwards, would be similar to the front in Whitehall, and the whole would form an oblong pile of 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 submitted the plans, offered to carry them oat, 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 20,080/. a year for rent and repairs of disconnected and inconvenient buildings. We shall 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 *Sees, and to make the whole an architectural adorn ment of the metropolis, has our full concurrence. It is evident front is the state men t o f Si r Wil l i am, tiat some thing about to be done in this direction, and it is of the utmost imp or t ance t h at it should be looked at in a comprehensive spirit.—The Builder. • , t ,,, , VP, Gt Edited Ay LADY JERVIS: " This book Is pleastiutly Written.

The Moniteur contains the following exceedingly graceful compliment to Lord Raglan and the Bri tish army : 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 spontaneously rendered to our arms by so competent a judge as the illustrious general, to whom the gratitude of the British Government has just awarded tie highest military dignity, is too glorious for our army for us not to reproduce the very expressions made use 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 of admiration to the distinguished conduct of their immediate commander, General Boa gust, while it is in the highest degree pleasing to me to place upon record my deep sense of the valuable assist ance I received 'front the Consmander-in-Chief, General Canrobert, who was himself on the ground, and in con stant communication with me." The French reports, en their side, do not less strongly point out the heroic and unshakeable firmness with which a fraction ef 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 ef 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 ef one against seven, and that at the end of the day, when the arrival of the French troops decided the ♦ictory, the proportion was still one against four. THE FRENCH COALVINDER-IN-CIIIIIP. 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 is the Meniteur : The Emperor, in his solicitude for the army which combats so bravely under the walls of Sebastopol, has not confined himself to delegating to the general com manding-in-chief extraordinary powers to fill up the va cancies of officers up to the rank of chef de bataillon or chef il ' 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 beiag merited, has, on the proposition of the Minister of War, also authorised General Canrobert to make nominations in the Legion of Honour of the grades of chevalier and officer, and to award military medals. ROYAL SOCIETY.—We understand that Lord Wrot tesley is proposed as the new president, in place of Lord Bosse, who retires ; and that G. Gabriel Stokes, M.A., of Cambridge, is proposed as the new secretary, in place of Professor Christie, retiring. STATE OF TRADE. (Franz the Manchester Guardian of Saturday.) MANCIIESTItit, 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 front whom anything worth calling a regular de man d i s f oun d t o 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, becones more marked. In yarns, the decline from the late high est prices may be broadly stated as varying from p. to Id. per lb., according to the cl ass quotoc ; and in the medium numbers •f cops it is even more, as much as ld. in cop twist.

HUDDERSFIELD, Nov. 20.—We have no better a ccount to give of the market to-day than previously. B us i ness is, indeed, very flat, and work rather scarce. Some par ties, we understand , ar e workin g short time ; but the e ffects are felt more seriously in the vicinities th an j ust in the town. NOTTINGHAM, Nov. 23.—Much depression still exists in the lace and hosiery trades of the town and neighbour hood, without any apparent prospect of either trade being improved until the new year begins. The lace trade being more or less influenced by the caprice of fashion , it is difficult to foretell its probabilities long in advance. Cotton yarns for each trade are offered at different prices. TEE TURKISH LOAN. The following note relates to the Turkish Loan " Loudon, Nov. 25. " Sir,—ln a morning paper of yesterday it is stated that the firman assigning a portion .of the Egyptian tribute at 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 general revenues of Turkey. Surely this can hardly be the case, for when I invested my money 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 sub scribe 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 frona.,,the general bond under which the loan is raised, showing that, in addi tion to the special hypothecation of the Egyptian tribute, it is secured by the revenues of the Ottoman empire : " Be it therefore knovfn that the undersigned, deeming it most for the ilerest and advantage of his Imperial Majeity's Government to raise the said loan on the terms and conditi ons h ere i na fter contained, do, in pursuance of the powers 'and authorities vosted in them for- that purpose, hereby bind and oblige the Government of His Imperial Majesty, and the revenuits of the Ottoman em pire and Government to the paynnent of the said loan, principal and interest., as hereinafterAtipulated, and in par ticular, do specially and irrevocably charge therewith, as an additional guarantee 30,000,000 piastres, or 282,000 1 , part of th e tribute payable to his Daperial Majesty by his Highness the Paella of E_gypt, and in order that the said 30,000,000 pi as t res, or 232,0001., may be more effectually and irrevocably pledged and appropriated to the payment of interest and redemption eL the said loan, the undersigned engage that the necessary firmans and authorities shall be m iss i u tt e a d ne w e it t h a t o ( f le t l o ay th f e or ß insuringank of ntghlerinddueoarnßdapnkunocftFuaralnrcee so that the same may b 3 at the disposal of the agents of the loan in London for that 's purpose.

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 planed upon the minutes. The committee of almoners presented 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. DAEBY 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 nominate their own friends to officos, and, without publishiog their names, to get a. vOlii of court confirming their nomination when the court has generally been oomposed of a majority of almoners. Recently the committee of almoners made a unanimons`report condemnatory of Dr. Jacob, and the large majority of the general court of gover nors having passed a resolution of a contrary nature, it would appear that the former body should be fused with other governors who might more truly reprelent every section of opinions. RUSSIA AND TETE UNITED STATIS. (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 iu 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 powerless 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 on between civilisation and barbarism, be tween liberty and slavery, between the most enlightened governments of Europe and the Autocrat of all the pussies, the .merchants of the United States have Iswetiei is a )ne n octi o p hn p .on o w r e t de u vw n ,, i ir t t y l s of probable success, ecess lucrative taiita tl etahs commercial itssaktitl hf skilful ceoperations.apceunias etcalculation 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 venturine , in search of our mer chant vessels, will be happy if, in taking refuge behind the Russian fortifications on 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 bastopel of the sea of Okhost or of Kamtschatka. At the date of the last accounts, the Russian squad ron was, it is said, at Petropaulovski. It is there that they aro said to have been found, and in part destroyed on the 4th Sept. last by the Allied squadrons. hleteh, at least, is the accotent 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 undo. , our own eyes, the Muscovite Government succeeds in concealing its resources so as to surprise its as sailants, 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 seas. 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 sailers, 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 loss of the Russians will be severe. All the merchandise, all the natural preduc• 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 passing by New Archangel, where the vessels of the Russo-American Company transport them to Okhost, in Siberia, across a closed sea to which they have the key. In 1829, Lord Sydenham, alluding to the continental 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 p ene trating into the heart of that country. speak from my own experience when I say that at that period an uninterrupted line of communication was established between Archangel and Paris. All ar ticles, even those known under the denomination of cumbersome, such as sugar, were carried as 'easily by that road as they are now from London and Havre." These expressions are remarkable, and they indicate the importance of the result of an eficient 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 Petropanlovski be confirmed, it will have coincided in a remarkable manner with the 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 by destroying 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," COURT OF ALDER MEN. On Saturday a special court was milled for the purpose 6f considering the report of the Commissioners of ifa quiry into the state of the corporation of London. Mr. Alderman Wilson occupied ths. chair in the ab• sense of the Lord Mayor, who was cocifined 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 Ron. 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, unisoin with the people at this national crisis." .Sir J. MUSGItOVE—Whom would you propose to sub. stitute for the Earl of Aberdeen's Merman SIDNEY—That is not for this court to decide upon.. Alderman FaBEREOYEEE—If the application is for a special court, I desire to be heard. Alderman WlLsoN—Alderman Sidney says it is his intention to ask the Lord Mayor to appoint one. We have no power to discuss that matter. Alderman FAREBIIOTHER—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, expres, his own and the opinions of those who go with him, be 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 SrDNEY—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 be to decide upon my request. If the Lord Mayor calls a special court, I shall more that resolution ; if not, I shall move that resolution at the next court. Sir J. MusGsovE—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. (Hoar, hear.) Sir R. W. GARDEN— I should think that as soon as the request is made the Lord Mayor will sts mmen 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 rsheuld adopt. I certainly should not take the responsibility upon my self of calling a special court upon a subject of this na ture. (Hear.) Alderman FAREBIOTHER- 2 -For my part, I should be charitable enough to let the thing the a natural death. (Laughter.) The subject then dropped. REPORT Or THE ROYAL COMMISSIONARE OF INQUIRY INTO THE STATE OF THE OORPOEATION. On the report of the Privileges Committee being brought up, Sir J. MUSGROVB rose and said—Anxious as I am upon 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 slhould do so with closed doors. Whenever the report comes up to be debated, if th• doors are not open, I will ask the Lord Mayor to open them ; bat 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 FAREBROTNER—That cannot be done. Alderman SipNEr —I ask Alderman Farebrother 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 document the contents of which are to be discussed to-day. (Rear, hear.) Alderman FABEBROTHICIt—Ne, they are not. Alderman SIDNEY -It 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 an equally public manner with the charges 'against this institution it,elf. 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 demunciatlons. Alderman FAREBrIOTHER—I do not know why Sir J. Musgrove wishes the court to be cleared, and the publ►.c 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 da withdraw. The court having teen cleared of strangers, remained in deliberation several hours, and then adjourned. MR. CHICHESTER AND HIS LOVER. At the rising of the Vice-Chancellor's Court on Satur• 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 lordship said he could not listen to any application save by way of petition. TheSoliCitor-sGenerai would then have a petition pre pared, and he asked for a hearing on an early day, aa the matter was pressing. He had 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 sugges. tie' unless it was acoompanied by a sufficient undertak 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 Le 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 i ti f there was anything ex . t r emely pressing in the app i i he must of course hear it at any time ; but if not, it might stand at the head of the paper on Friday. The sittings after term commence on Friday next, th e let of December, till which day the seurt adjourned. OFFICIAL APPOINTMENTSs There is no truth whatever in the allegation that the Right Hon. W.

IRON SEIPBUILDING IN BELFAST.—This bralnch of trade promises to go ahead in Belfast. A large mer chant vessel is now being built by Messrs. Hickson and Co., in the new slip in the Queen's Island, beside that from which the Silistria was recently turned out. When finished, she will be equal in size to the screw steamer I
