Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and wile 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 management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the 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 a scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which are unfortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant empirics, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in their pretensions.

NEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH. MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52, FLEET-STREET, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW DESCRIPTION of NRTIFLCIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth, as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the ex traction of roots, or any painful operation, and will suppart and pre serve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mas tication. 52, FLEET-STREET. — At home from Ten till Five.

The extraordinary results of this application may be briefly noted in a few of their most promi nent features, as the following :—All sharp edges aro avoided ; no springs. wires, or fastenings are required ; a greater increased free dom of suction is supplied a natural elasticity hitherto wholly un secured, tinable: and a fit perfected with the most unerring accuracy, are , white from the softness and flexibility of the agent em ployed, the greatest support is given to the adjoining teeth when loose, or rendered tender by tit e absorption of the gums. The acids of the mouth exert so agency on the chemically-prepared White India-rubber, and as it is a non-conductor, fluids of any temperature may with thorough comfort be imbibed and retained in the mouth, all unpleasantness of smell or taste being at the same time wholly provided against by the peculiar nature of its preparation.

PROGRESS OF PIPE DRAINAGE WORKS FOR SANI TARY PURPOSES. —Prom reports recently laid before Parliament, it is estimated that, in 1848, 104 miles of sewer drain pipes were manufactured ; in 1849, 416 miles ; in 1850, 1,040 miles ; in 1851, 1,820 miles ; in 1852, 2,080 miles ; and in 1853, 2,500 miles, making in all ab out 8,000 miles of pipes for house and town drainage. From the annual returns made by the Metropolita n Commissioners of Sewers (the last of which has recently been delivered to Parlia ment) it appears that there have been laid in the metropolis, since 1848, and under the sanction of those commissioners, 346 miles of pipe seers. Of this quantity 64 miles and 4,205 feet were laid down by the direction of the commissioners, and paid for out of sewers rates, and 281 miles 2,334 feet by private indivi duals. It further appears that 25,978 houses in the me tropolis have since 1849 been drained by tubular pipes of various sizes. With respect to those sizes, it is shown by these returns that one mile 1,278 feet have been laid by the commissioners of 3 and 4 inch diameter pipes ; and that 41 miles 3,155 feet, equal to the drainage of about 10,000 houses, have been laid by private indivi duals. It also appears from the same returns that, during 1853, the quantity of tubular pipe s of the same sizes used by private individuals amounted to 56,955 feet, or 10 miles 4,155 Let. This is exclusive of up wards of miles of brick sewer ret urned as laid down in the metropolis duripg the same yea rs, for the larger A MINISTER OF WAR.. The statement made by Lord John Russell last night in the House of Commons removes all doubt as to the fact that the duties of the War Department are to be severed from those of the Colonial-office, and that a fourth Secretary of State is to be created by the autho rity of the Crown to conduct that important porti on of our military administration which has heretofore de volved upon the Colonial Minister. Thus far a step is made in the right direction, and we are entitled to look ' with peculiar satisfaction on the result of this dis cussion. Repeated commissions of Ministers and Gene ral Officers have considered and reported on this subject; committees of the House of Commons have 'sat and blue-books have been printed in vain ; even in the pre sent session, when the occurrence of hostilities I rave a pressing interest to the question, Lord Grey i n the House of Lords, and Mr. Hume and Mr. Rich in the House of Commons, appealed to the common sense of the Legislature with no better effect than to elicit. from the Treasury bench a string of arguments to prove that such a change was inexpedient and impracticable. The press, however, steadily pursuing an unanswerable line of reasoning, and supported by the instinctive percep tions of the country, has succeeded in carrying the point, and has even prevailed over the personal obstaelos with which it was surrounded. _ But, though we congratulate the country and our selves on the success of these remonstrances, as far as it goes, we are not by any means satisfied that the mea sure announced, but imperfectly described last night, by Lord John Russell is of a nature and extent to satisfy our just expectations. The measure we require may best be described in the words of the report of 1337 as " the consolidation of the civil departments of the army," and it would only increase the present anc.maly of our military administration if we create a Minister of War—that is, a Minister for all military affairs except the command of the forces—without transferring to him full powers over every civil department of the service. Yet we are still left in doubt as to the position of the Secretary at War, who is the Financial Minister of the army, and who will remain responsible to the House of Commons for estimates which he cannot determine and for expenses he cannot control. The financial .depart ment of the army becomes, of course, an important branch of the Ministry of War, and the head of that branch might fitly be an Under-Secretary of State, representing the office in the House of Commons when the head of it is a peer. But iwe can hardly conceive a greater absurdity than to leave the War-office to transact its present amount of business with a 'Minister at its head who is a member of the Cabinet, while the country would look to another Cabi net Minister and Secretary of State for all that concerns the civil administration of the army. The report of 1837 distinctly proposed as the foundation of the whole measure that the War-office should be merged in this new department of state, or rather that the War-office should be extended and raised in its functions and dig nity, so as to include under one head, responsible to Parliament and to the country, all the various branches which are now scattered in half-a-dozen different offices from Pall-mall to Downing-street. It is obvious that one office, efficiently constituted and conducted, is. a far simpler and more powerful engine of government than these disconnected and co-ordinate fragments of admi nistration. Mr. Ellice pointed out with great clearness the true position of the question, and we sincerely hope that the Government ►ill not commit the folly of at tempting a half measure, when a complete and definitive arrangement can alone prove satisfactory to the country. Lord John was equally reserved on the question of persons, as affected by this new arrangement, although considerations of this nature are apt to have more influence on great public measures than the public willingly believe. We apprehend, however, that the Duke of Newcastle will retain the Department of War, to which he has already devoted so much labour and attention. The duke was unques tionably entitled to a free choice of either moiety of his former duties, for he has held them both with credit. At the present moment there might have been some dis advantage in abruptly transferring the business of the army to a Minister less familiar with the details of the present expedition ; and we cannot be surprised that the duke has selected the more arduous and exciting of the two posts. The Government has therefore to provide itself with a Secretary of State fo the Colonies. Lord J. Russell himself has left honourable traditions in the Colonial Department, and we question whether he has succeeded equally well in any other branch of the public service, although he has tried them nearly all. Every body would see him resume that office with pleasure, and it has been strongly urged upon him by his col leagues ; but the leadership of the House of Commons is too arduous a task to be easily united to a labori ous office in the Government, and, on the score of health and strength, it is probable that Lord John will decline to accept duties which he knows by expe rience to be incessant and severe. Among those mem bers of the Whig party who were unavoidably left out when the present Administration was formed, Sir George Grey is, perhaps, the most eminent, and, although he has no peculiar acquaintance with its duties, we enter tain little doubt that the seals of the Colonial Depart ment will be offered to him. Without adding materially to the strength of the Government, Sir George Grey is deservedly regarded by men of all parties with respect and esteem ; and the House of Commons will view with satisfaction his return to the front row of the Ministerial benches. Other modifications of the Government may possibly arise out of this change in the War Department, for, although a War Minister is to be appointed, no new place will be created, unless the concurrent and super fluous post of the present Secretary-at-War be retained. But on these particulars it is premature to enter until we have learnt more accurately and completely the nature of the arrangements which are to be adopted.— Times. PRIVY COUNCIL.

The first bill he bad to submit was " A bill for enabling the Great 'Western Railway Company to make a branch railway to connect the Berks and Hants Railway with the main line of the Great Western Railway Dear Reading ; for extending the time for the completion of parts of the Wilts, Somerset, and Wey mouth Railway, and for reviving the powers for pur chase of Stand for, and for completing other portions of that railway, and for other purposes." The bill autho rised the construction of a short branch line at Reading, which w ould be of great importance in facilitating the traffic to and from Basingstroke and other places, and enable th e trains to proceed direct to their destination, and avoi.d the present delay and inconvenience at that station. The bill also provided for the completion of the Wilts;„ Somerset, and Weymouth Railway—a mea sure that had been repeatedly sanctioned by the pro prietors at former meetings ; and the object of the bill was to give effect to these resolutions, to extend the time for completing the works, and to a uthorise the company to raise funds for the purpose. The Secretary read the heads of the bill, from which it appearod that two years were allowed for the purchase of land, :and three years for the completion of the works. :The length of the branch at Reading was about a quarter of mile, and the cost 20,0001. ; the length of the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth lines to be completed was 76 miles, and the cost about 1,000,0001. Arrangements had been made with the South-Wet:tern Company for laying down the broad guage for :a distance of eight miles on their Dorchester branch, and, in return, the Great 'Western are to lay down the °narrow guage from Dorchester to Weymouth. The Co AIRMAN moved a formal resolution approving the bill au d authorising the directors to take the neces sary stepei with regard to it, which was seconded by Lord BIitIIINGTON. The H.Dn. C. L. BUTLER said he would give the mea sure his i n ost strenuous opposition, as it would involve a large e xpenditure and have the effect, with other mat ters, of r educing their dividends to 2 per cent. It was with the greatest anxiety he looked on the further ex penditur e of capital. If they had confined themselves to their western extensions, he believed they would now be in th is receipt of 8 per cent., instead of 4 per cent. dividend s. He regretted that a general warfare had been kept up with other companies, and large sums had been ex.p ended in Parliamentary and law expenses, as he consiii ered, needlessly. There had been serious war fare at Li3amington between the two companies, to the injury of the public. There were also a number of petty actions et arried on by the company—a recent one in re spect to idle loss of a portmanteau, the defence of which must hal , e cost a considerable amount. He concluded by moving .a n amendment to the effect that no more money be expera led on branch lines and extensions. Mr. FiLYTH had great pleasure in seconding the mo tion, as .he felt that, if the shareholders did not put a stop to those branch lines, there would be no end to their . The time had come when railway com panies should cease spending money on branch lines, and leave. the construction of them to the parties inte rested in the various districts. It was quite enough for companies to work the traffic on them when made. The C LEAIRSIAN said, the directors fully concurred in the regr et; the hon. proprietor had expressed respecting the warfaire that had continued so long between the Great Western had London and North-Western Com panies ; but the directors could assure him that it was not their fault that it had continued. He (the chairman) repudiate:d the charge that the Great Western were litigious, as no one regretted more than the board the various causes of litigation ; but sometimes it happened that groa.t principles were involved in apparently trivial matters ; , which, if not defended, would entiil the loss of thou:nu:ids to the company. The various undertakings in whic h. they were at present involved had been forced upon th,te company in 1847, through the mad popular feeling that existed at that time for new branches and extensio,ns. He could produce numerous letters from shareholders, urging them at that time to oppose the extensicens of the South-Western Railway, and to pro mote others. There was not one new undertaking pro posed by the directors ; all that they asked was further power to give effect to resolutions and measures which the prop rietors had over and over again sanctioned at meetings of the company ; legal proceedings had been taken against the company to complete the lines in ques tion, and mandamuses were pending in respect to some of them. The great object of the directors was to make the 1,50 0,000/., which had been expended on the Wilts and We . y mouth lines, productive by the outlay of the 1,000,00.0/. to complete them, all the chief expenses having be.en already incurred. Major COURT begged to say that the present state of things Mr - as entirely owing to the fault of the proprietors ; they had given their sanction at various times to mea sures of which they were wholly ignorant. He (Major Court) 'had often on former occasions called upon the proprietors to pause, and inquire into the various mea sures Caen proposed before they sanctioned them, but no attention was paid to his frequent warnings, and hence the present difficulty. He would ask whether the gross traffic of the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Railway would amo un t to 6 per cent. on the outlay ? The CHAIRMAN believed there would be a fair return on the amount they proposed to spend. After some observations from Mr. Vousley, and ex planations from Mr. Saunders, respecting the liability of the company to complete its engagements to the public and to Parliament, the Hon. Mr. Butler with drew his amendment, expressing himself perfectly satis fied with the explanation afforde by the chairman and Mr. Saunders respecting the necessity for carrying out the measure proposed. A resolution, approving the bill, was then carried unanimously. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN " A bill for enabling the Great Western Railway Company to provide addi tional station accommodation at Birmingham, Wolver hampton, and Bushbury, at an expense of 30,0001." was approved. The CHAIRMAN said the next bill he bad to submit was "A bill to authorise the consolidation into one under taking of the Great Western, the Shrewsbury. and Bir mingham, and the Shrewsbury and Chester Railways, and the union into one company of the three several com panies to whom the said railways respectively belong." The agreement with those companies was entered into on the 28th of September last, and was confirmed by the proprietors at the meeting in February last. The bill had been sanctioned by the House of Commons on the ground of its public utility, and he had no doubt it would also pass through the House of Lords. The SECRETARY read the heads of the bill. In reply to questions it was stated that the share capital of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham amounted to 1,344,0001., of the Shrewsbury and Chester to 1,251,0001., and of the loans to 488,0001. and 417,0001. respectively, making together about 3,500,0001. The gross traffic receipts last year on these two lines amounted to 140,0001., notwithstanding very severe competition, being equal to 4 per cent, on the whole capital. They had no doubt the competition would be removed, and all the risk the Great Western would have to provide for would be the working expenses, the amount of which with an increasing traffic would be considerably reduced. A resolution approving the bill was carried. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, " A bill for enabling the South Wales Railway Company to acquire additional land at Swansea, and for enlarging the powers of lease or sale to and contribution by the Great Western Rail way Company, and for authorising arrangements be tween the South Wales Railway Company and the Vale of Neath Railway Company, and for other purposes," was approved. A resolution was also passed approving a bill for authorising arrange. ments with respect to the South Reserve, at Birken head, and for other purposes. The provisions in the bill were for enabling the Great Western Railway Com pany to obtain from the Birkenhead trustees part of the South Reserve for a terminal station, at Birkenhead, should it be required. The CHAIRMAN stated, that the other three bills were not sufficiently advanced to be submitted to the proprie tors under the Wharncliffe standing order, and therefore it would be necessary to adjourn the meeting for the con sideration of them to the 22d inst. In reply to a question, it was stated that they bad not submitted a proposition for subscribing to new schemes since 1848, with the exception of 175,0001. to the North Metropolitan Railway, which, when completed, Post office, them to convey passengers to the General office, and would be a great advantage to the c ompany. A cordial vote of thanks was then unanimously . p n assed to the chairman and directors for th e manner whichTh they had conducted the affairs of the company, 3i e best thanks of the meeting we re given to r. Saunders, the secretary, for his meritorious and zealous services to the company. The meeting then separated. ACCIDENT.—AII accident, which has ter. RAILWAY urinated fatally, occurred on Saturday at Darlington. m An i inquest was held on Monday, when from the evidence given it appeared that the unfortunate man, whose name fe Thomas Graham, was employed in reversing the fastenings of a coal train, which was 'lying on the line of railway which joins the Stockton and Darlington anc' York and Berwick stations, when an engine and pas- senger carriage came down the adjoining line on its way to the Stockton and Darlington station. The driver of the coming engine whistled as he turned the curve, and the deceased in his anxiety to be quite safe as the engine and carriage passed, stooped down. The lines are here very close to each other, and in doing so Graham's head caught in the foot-board of the passenger carriage as it passed, and he was knocked down. The wheels passed over his thigh and the lower part of his abdomen. Medical as s i s t ance was p rom ptl y ren d ere d, b u t in a few , hours the unfortunate man expi re d. The jury Feuri._'" a verdict of accidental death. MILITIA. A great many young men belonging to different mili tia regiments which have finished their period of training have joined the Royal Navy. Sixty have been sent down to Plymouth, to be put on board the ships fitting for sea at that port. Landsmen between 19 and 22, standing 5 feet 61 inches, are still being entered for her Majesty's naval service. The 4th Middlesex Militia, Lieutenant• Colonel Bagot, unattached, commandant, were yesterday inspected at Hounslow by Colonel Bush, acting inspector of the re cruiting department. The regiment has been out train ing since the 15th ult., and the men have acquired a very fair knowledge of military duty. The regiment completes its period of training on Saturday, when the men will be dismissed. A detachment of the Ist Somerset Militia, consisting of 600 men, were yesterday forwarded by railway from Taunton to Plymouth to do garrison duty. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, JUNE 8.

DE TESSIER, EDWARD POSTE, REAPPEARANCE OF CHOLERA IN GLASGOW.—We re gret to learn that cholera has again made its appear ance in Glasgow, after the town had been for about a fortnight entirely free of the disease. During last week (and just upon the removal of a number of the public wells which had been set up by the police and the water company in the poorer parts of the city) the distemper again broke out, and within the last 3 or 4 days there have been no fewer than 18 cases in the city parish and a number of deaths. On Monday evening there were 9 cases in the City Parish Cholera Hospital. --Glasgow Chronicle. EASTBOURNE.—On Friday last a earlier pigeon was shot at Eastdean, about three miles from here. On its leg was found a slip of paper, with the names of the first and second horses in the great Derby race, viz. : " Andover; and "King Tom."

After the mathematical examination had finished in the hall, Cadets Moore, Tanner, Haig, and Baker were called upon to construct a two-gun battery (scale one inch to a foot) in a shallow box six feet square, two-thirds filled with moist sand, gabions and fascines to the scale lying ready for use ; while Cadet Brown was desired to explain the principles on which Vauban's First System is constructed; Hadow, the various methods of retrench ing bastions ; and Taylor, the method of tracing conn termines. The other cadets were called upon to answer various questions put by the Public Examiner by which time the battery was completed, and remarkably well executed. After dinner the usual voltaic explosion of 201 b. of powder in the cold stream was exhibited, but the water was too low for the customary bridge practice. The Sand Modelling-hall was the next object of attraction, A front of Carnot's system was explained by Cadet Penny (one-eighth of an inch to a foot)—a front of the Prussian system (same scale), by Cadet Ward. Tebb's double sap (scale one inch to a foot) was explained by Cadet Prendergast—a sunken 4-gun battery (same scale), by Cadet Hills ; a very fine model of Mullygaum, a native Indian fort of great strength (scale quarter of an inch to a foot), with the attack carried on against it in 1818, was explained by Cadets Gordon and Pafford. The interest. ing native fort of Nowa (scale half-inch to a foot), which was successfully attacked in 1819, was explained by Cadet Pitt. There was also a design for a sea coast battery exhibited. The execution of these various models was admirable. The drawings in this department were of the usual style. The gentlemen cadets obtained prizes for their military drawings. IST CLASS. Subject.

After the prizes were distributed, the CHAIIIMLN addressed the students. He said,—Although on several previous occasions we have had a greater number of cadets selected for the corps of Engineers, yet the reports which have come from the public examiners, as well as that made by the Lieutenant-Governor of the College, are so satisfactory, that upon the whole I have great pleasure, in the name of the directors of the East India Company, in tendering to you my best thanks for your conduct during this term. Your laudable exertions to take advantage of the different studies pursued here are highly satisfactory to us. To those gentlemen who have been selected for the corps of Engineers I would say, you are but at the beginning of your work. In fact, you have everything to learn, because as yet the foundation only is laid. But to all of you who may be qualifiedto serval am happy to say there is no doubt your services will be required in India. It is a service deserving of every exertion to obtain. In India there is great roost for engineers of talent, because now that peace has happily commenced there has also commenced the greatest amount of public works which were ever before under taken in that country. Therefore, talented engineers are sure to find plenty of employment, and I hope that those gentlemen who go to Chatham to complete their studies will do their utmost to qualify themselves, not only in military but in civil engineering, which is there taught under Colonel Jones. I can speak from experi ence, for having been myself a cadet in this institution, I found that the knowledge which I acquired here and at Chatham served me in good stead through the whole of my career. (Cheers.) We have lately heard by the Government mail of a remarkable work of engineering which has just been completed in India—the Ganges Canal, upwards of 900 miles in length, for the purposes of irrigation. I hope it will be the means of averting those famines which have hitherto frequently visited those parts of the country. The canal is a noble en gineering work, and I hope all the cadets appointed to the Artillery who now hear me will remember that this great work has been planned and carried out by an offi cer of the Royal Artillery. I mention this to show that, though your lot has been cast in the military line, yet that will not debar you from more purely scientific works, if you are duly qualified. (Applause.) There is also the electric telegraph, which has been erected in an incre dibly short space of time between Calcutta and Agra, and in a few months more it will reach to Peshawur, to Bombay, and to Madras, thus securing instantaneous communication between all the presidencies of India. I may also mention another thing to show that now, when competition is the order of the day, you must exert your talents to the very utmost, for the Engineers' College, which was established by the late Mr. Thomson, and which is called by his name, is now attended both by natives and Europeans, who have evinced a talent and industry and an application which it will require all your exertions to keep up with. (Applause) I beg you never to forget what an extraordinary thin g it is that a handful of Europeans should govern such a vast tern. tory as India. I refer to this because I think the re flection will lead you to see how incumbent it is upon each individual among you to uphold the character of England among the natives, who, though inferior to us in physical strength, are yet keen observers of character. You will find everything in that country different from this ; you will find yourself entirely abroad on your arrival. Therefore, without their language, you will not make yourself understood. I must warn you against allowing your faculties to go to sleep. Idleness is in all countries to be avoided ; in India it is pecu liarly so, because it alone is the cause of almost every e S t h e i n e g a r t e e f ul, l e , m t p h l o e y r e fo re, your t o at e t m en p t l i o o y n r f ur or t o i t m he e r ; d h i a s v or e de s r o . in nine cases out of ten the man who puts his shoulder to the wheel, and determines to be something, is sure to succeed. (Applause.) I remember perfectly well of what use the corporals were in this institu tion. I hope the Lieutenant-Governor still finds their assistance of great utility to him in maintaining discip line. It ought to be, and I hope it is, the pride of the corporals to receive the congratulations of the Lieu. tenant-Governor, and if so, of the Court of Directors also, for their assistance in this arduous task, because without discipline you will never succeed, for he who cannot obey will never command. The gallant officer e concluded by returning his thanks to t he public exa miner, • miner, to the Lieutenant-Governor, a nd the professo rs of the college, and expressed a hope that wh A en t l h a e o y s e ns x t met the report would be as satisfact or y .

The Attorney-General is reported to have said that there were above 100 papers which weekly of. fended against the stamp laws, and that if he prosecuted one he must prosecute all.
