Its perus al i s particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health. happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there 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 howbe mitigated, how the sting of their bitte rnessi may be removed, that and t tier he evil and its consequences may be a vo id ed, and above all, tscarcely any degree of physics' infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of s c i ence cannot apply a cure. Theuthor has for a series of years been engaged In an enten•ive practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have unfortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant empirics, who inflict great injury on those who are induoed to place faith in their pretensions.

THE GUN-BOATS. The second of the screw gun•vessels building for her Ma jesty's Government will be launched from Pitcher's yard, Northfleet, on Saturday. The following is a communication on the subject of screw steam despatch gun-boats : Sir,—Adverting to the correspondence which has lately appeared in your columns, relative to the screw steam de spatch gun-boats now fitting out, and to the very able com ments advanced in the articles contained thereon in your journal, and useful as might be, undoubtedly, many of the observations made by your correspondent " Eye Witness," one suggestion contained in his letter of the 26th instant, viz., that these boats should be so constructed as to be able to carry troops, together with the necessary ammuni tion, stores, and provisions. I cannot but think is totally at variance with the service for which they are destined. It is obviously impossible that the qualities which would be indispensable for the accommodation of a body of troops could be combined with space necessary for work ing guns of such heavy calibre as they carry, and with the great speed, to attain which is so desirable an object. It is to be hoped, at any rate, that before long the ex ploits of the Wrangler, and her sister ships, will meet with that success which is so lully expected of them. THE ROYAL ALBERT. The Royal Albert screw steam-ship has so far com pleted her rigging to black down. Mr. William R. Madge, the master, during the rigging of this noble ship, has had the entire superintendence and directions in his espe cial department as master; the want of A.B.'s for this work has made his duties most arduous in constantly watching and directing the work as it, bas progressed. Her lower fore-yard was crossed yesterday. Her main yard will not be put on board until she can be gut into the fitting basin. Mr. Bonney's -vitt& percha speaking tubes are fitted, and full communication Irmo the poop, on either side, to the engine.romia can now take place, and is at pre sent a source of great attraction to visitors. The noble engines of this ship, now complete, having been ready for working these ten days past, refleet the highest credit on all pasties connected therewith. They have been set up under the personal daily superintendence of her chief en gineer, and latterly assisted by the assistant-engineers. If the defe tin the st-newmk at the caisson entrance cannot he made ready by the next spring tides she will be out out of dry dock and moorc.l alongside the Minotaur, until she can be taken into the basin for the greater c , .nvetiienett of receiving her armament and sea stores on board. This ship, when manned, will, there is not the slightest doubt, be ordered to the Mediterranean, as flag-ship there. THE EFFECTS OF THE SHOT AT BOMARSUND. We have ret , eived a letter from a gallant officer serving in the Baltic, from which we give the f"llowing extract, showing the effects pro4ucel on the forts of Bomarsund by the first botnbardthent : " Many of the prisoners declare that if the Hecla, Valo. runs, and Odin had continued t i pe action another hour longer, when we made our first attack on Boarirsund, they must have left the forts in consequence of the heat; and, strange to say, one of our shells penetrated through the principal powder magazine door and did not explode. The damage done at the first bombardment has been repaired ; but a black round mark is painted where every shot and shell struck. It is gratifying to see so many of these marks." THE RUSSIAN PRISONERS. Intelligence was received yesterday that her Majesty's steamer Termagant, with 207 Russian prisoners, had passed Elsinore on the 28th ult. It is presumed that she had the cholera on board, the yellow flag being at her masthead. The same day the French steam-frigate Souffienr passed Elsinore with General Bodisco and a number of Russian officers, prisoners from Bomarsund. MAIL FOR TURKEY. There will be a mail made up to-morrow, the 2d inst., for the British army in Turkey and the fleet in the Black Sea, to be forwarded through France to Marseilles, and thence by French mail packet to Constantinople. Letters, whether to an officer, soldier, or seaman, will be charged 3d. under a quarter of an ounce, and so on ; newspapers 2d. each. The postage must be paid in advance. The mail for the British squadron in the White Sea will be made up and forwarded from Hall to Christiania this day (Friday) ; from the latter place it will be carried on to the squadron by Norwegian mail packets. SEAMEN'S LETTERS FOR THE BLACK SEA FLEET. Several letters have been received by friends and relatives of seamen serving in the Black Sea fleet, com plaining of the present regulations as to their letters. They state that all the seamen's, marines', and boys' letters go' no further than Malta in the mails, and are kept there un til one of their own vessels happen to go down for them. The officers' letters, which go out by the same mail are forwarded frequently from Malta. It is no un frequent occurrence for the seamen to have three or four letters by the same vessel, whilst the officers receive their letters at different periods within the same space of time. DEATH OF A VETERAN. We record with regret the death of Lieut.-General Thos. Delmer, C.B , colonel of the 47th Regiment, which took place suddenly at Hawkhurst, Bent, on Saturday. Gene zal Delmer had been over 57 years in the army, and took part in most of our warlike operations from the close of the last century to Waterloo, having served with the ex peditions to Ostend in 1793, to Holland in the following year, and to Ferrol, Vigo Bay, and Cadiz in 1800. He was in Egypt with Sir Ralph Abercromhy, in the expedi tion to Hanover in 1805, and that to Copenhagen in 1 4 07. The following- year found him at Corinna, and in the Peninswar campaigns of 1811.12-13, he shared in the actions of El Bodon and Aides, de Ponta, and the battles of gialanaima and Vittozie. SAN Dauer also wag THE NEW DRESS FOR THE ARMY. On Thursday new patterns were sealed for the horse and foot artillery, the Rifles, the Lancers, Hussars, and heavy cavalry. Henceforward the foot au tasty officers will wear blue tunic breasted with gold cord. The collar and shoulder knot will be round. A black helmet with white plume will be substituted for the Albert cap as now used, and the royal arms will be in front. For fall dress there will be a rich gold lace pouch and sword belt, and for field practice the articles will be composed of white leather. The sash is abolished. The horse artillery will wear a round shell jacket, with lace across breast, sleeve, and back, with square gold cord instead of round cord as heretofore, showing a large light of blue cloth between the loops. The officers' ranks are indicated as in the light cavalry, by the amount of lace on the sleeves. The busby or cap as hitherto worn will be retained. The Hussars will no longer wear the slinging jacket, and their dress will be similar to the Light Cavalry pattern, i.e., the Austrian tunic. The decoration, however, will consist of chain gold lace, instead of solid material. The Lancers' uniform will be similar to the Light Diagoon regiments, the old cap bein3 retained. The 16th Lancers are fighting hard to retain their favourite colour, scarlet. The Rifle dress will alo be in the Austrian tunic shape. The Rifle Brigade will wear black velvet on sleeves and collar, while the COth Rifles will be distinguished by scarlet cloth fac ings, &c. The heavy cavalry will henceforward wear a scar let coat, with a small amount of lace. The rank of each offi cer will be indicated by-diver crowns and atm s on the collar. The gold helmet, with black plume, will be retained. The uniforms were submitted to the Queen this week by the designer, Mr. Rogers, of Covent•garden. Her Majesty was pleased to express her approval. It is understood that the complaints of the lace trade will be met by the expendi ture,on the Militia uniforms. MISCELLANEOUS. The Board of Admiralty have issued instructions to the comptroller of tho transport service to provide a ship for the conveyance forthwith of 300 tons of heavy shot and shell to Malta. The Prussian brig Charles has completed the discharge of her cargo; she will leave in ballast. There will be a further embarkation of troops from Gravesend, to iei►,force the army in India, between the 26th of September and the sth of October. This division proceeds to Bombay. SLIMINESS, Aug. 31.—The left wing of the new artil lery barracks here, Built by Mr. Josiah Hall, of Queen ocrougb, the contractor, under the management of his a out, Mr. Thorns Ticked (late of the Royal Engineer de partment), has this .lay be n formally delivered Over tothe Ordnance department, being completed. The barracks were commenced In July 1853, and are now ready to re ceive 34 rank and tile. They are fitted with 'red.-rants' mess room and cooking kitchens, with orderly rooms, re gimental stores, library and rea iing•roows, armour-ere and tailors' shops, &c. This buil dog, with the right wing built about three years since, completes barrack ac commodation here for one regiment of artil,ery, with full accommodation in every respect. SEAMEN'S WAGES. At the Court at Buckingham Palace, the 11th day of August, 1854, present the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty in Council : Whereas, by an act passed in the present session of Par liament, entitled " An Act for Facilitating the Payment of her Majesty's Navy, and the payment and distribution of prize, bounty, salvage, and other moneys to and among the officers and crews of her Majesty's ships and vessels of war, and for the better regulation of the accounts relating thereto," it is directed, among other things, that the Lords of the Admiralty may from time to time make such rules, orders, and regulations, as may to them appear expedient, for facilitating the paying of the navy, but that the same shall not have any force or effect until they have been pre- viously approved by your Majesty in council. And whereas great inconvenience and delay have been occasioned by the existing regulations for the payment of advance, allotments, monthly allowance, and seamen's wages generally, we have therefore taken this subject into serious consideration, and beg leave humbly to submit to your Majesty, That the scales of allotment and monthly allowance esta blished by his late Majesty's order in Council of the 18th of November, 1833, be forthwith abolished, and such rates substituted for them as to us may seem expedient. That all officers of your Majesty's navy, above the rank of petty officer, be allowed to - draw bills for the full amount of their pay quarterly, but not to allot or receive monthly allowance. That the payment-of advance and of wages due, instead of being made as at present, only at places where there is a superintendent and an establishment of paymaster general's clerks, may be made at any place, and by all ac c 'untant officers under the Admiralty, including the pay masters of your Majesty's ships, or persons acting in that capacity, under such restrictions, regulations, and control as we may hereafter find expedient; aud, therefore, it is necessary we should have the power to order the pay ment of sea wages at such times and in such manner as to us may appear most desirable and convenient. That the sale or tranfer of promotion tickets shall no longer be permitted, but, in lien thereof, that the paj of wages due to any person promoted to the rank of an officer, or to any petty officer, seaman, or boy, who may be dis charged from one of yotir Majesty's ships abroad, may bo paid to such persons by the paymaster of the ship he is promoted or discharged from, or at the Adwir ilty. That the advance of wages granted to the crews of your Majesty's ships on first fitting out, instead of 1:0- ing exactly two mouths' pay, as at pronely, shall be an even sum of money approaching thereto, but in no case to exceed the amount of three months' pay. Tha , payment of allotment bills and remittance bills should henceforth he made by any accountant officer under the A•'miralty, and by postmasters in the United King tioui, as well as be t e Paymaster-Getter , ' and his clerks, cud the collectors of Customs or of Inland Revenue. That in lieu of the duplieate allotment bill at present required by the act 11 George IV., c 20, a single bill only may be made out and deliveleti to the party, anti an as signed pay list, in such form as shall be determined by us, be sent to the paying officer, the assignment of such Hat to have the same force and effect as the duplicate bill now iu use. That the certificate of identity required by the act afore said, to be signed by the minister and churchwarden, or elders, shall continue to be produced by all persons residing in England, Wales, and Scotland, as at present, but that in Ireland the signature of the county inspector or sub inspector of constabulary shall be obtained, instead of that of any minister of religion ; the certificate to be also signed by a churchwarden. That the payments of allotments be set off on the allot ment pay-hill, as a t present, an d the signature or mark on the assigned list of the party receiving it, or that of an independent witness to the payment, shall be con sidered as a sufficient receipt. That the power to appoint a trustee in certain cases, granted to us by the said before recited act, shall continue, it a h nci regarda to the certificate s bat that the recommendation of th e person to b e appointed as such trustee shall be that of th e county inspector or sub n churchward e n i n Ire loafnd-i,asp as is of identity. s t b That it is desirable to extend the pow er o f a ll ott i ng and ere constabularyi h ere i n proposed w remitting by the petty officers, seamen, and marines of your freely disp ose of be assigning it t o any person whatso ever, instead of being re s tricted to allottiug or r em itti ng t lliraje ownsty' in s o fleet, ney b in y order that th ey may to relatives in a certain degree as prescrib e d b y t h e act of 11 George IV., before quoted. That it is expedient that the Account an t -G eneral of functionsnavy n. should possess a ll t h e powers and per fm al l of exminer o f prize accounts and yourinorspe inspector the o a r jest ys seamated wills; and th a t a l l documentso 'f hitherto signed by the officers so designated shall in future be signed by the Acconntant-General of the navy, or by some person acting on his behal . And, finally, that all existing rules and regulations re lating to the matters herein contained, which are not at variance with the changes herein proposed to be made do remain and continue in force until they shall be superseded or provided for by other regulations to be made by us in that behalf. We beg leave most humbly to submit to your Majesty, that should your Msjesty be graciously plea4ed to approve of these proposals, they may be sanctioned by your pia. jesty's order in council accordingly. _ - Her Majesty having taken the maid naemsrial into con. sideration, was pleased, by and with the advice of her Privy Council, to approve of what is therein proposed ; and the Right Honourable the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty are to give the necessary directions herein accordingly.

SPANISH BONDHOLDERS. The following important correspondence, rela• tive to the claim of the Spanish bondholders has been forwarded to us, by the committee, for pub lication : (TRANSLATION.) " Madrid, 22d August, 1854. " Mr. Chairman,—Since I had the honour of address ing you in December last, a copy of the note which I had about that time presented to Mr. Domiueck, the then Minister of Finance, things here have taken such a turn that no opportunity has occurred for 'taking any fresh steps to obtain from the Spanish Gorernment an arrange ment of the certificates of the coupons. "The Cortes, or Parliament, his been shut ; and the Government, placed in a most unfortunate eitua• lion, has been without the means of doing justice to our " late events, however, afford us a favourable prospect for the future ; and even though in the midst of the great an d excessive political agitation which threatens Spain, our claims will have some difficulties to contend with ; nevertheless the necessity of a means of reparation is at the present time generally recommended. " Mr. Collado, the new Minister of Finance, has ever since the commencement of the discussion as to the set tlement of the debt in 1850 and 1851, expressed his opinion in Parliameat as opposed to the confiscation of the Couj ons, and whilst the Spanish Government, under date of 12th inst., has resolved to convene the extraor dinary meeting of Parliament for the rennin. month of November, I consider the time has arrived for again preferring the legitimate demands, whose represeuta. tion your committee has confided to my charge. " I send you annexed the translation of a note, No. I, which I have fOrwarded under date of 19th to hie Excellency Jos6 Manuel Culled°, her Catholic Majesty's minister of Finance. Ruder date of 21st I have sent a copy of it, as you will see, by sheet No. 2, to his Ex cellency Lord Bowden, Who, with the energetic awl prompt readiness of which he has given us s? m any proofs, imine.liately transmitted it to th e Mu, et r of r F e o c r o e u i in.dati e u p s p a o v r e t t e s d N b o v .47 11 3 antethea tahore. p ! es h o i f notes addres-ed by his Excellency d Howden to Mr. Rteheco, a n d of the lett e r whica he h as graciously ad dre-sed to me. •• I have ..niv ftirthor to td. that Mr. Collado, to whom I l ave personally banded the note (tral4ati. , n of which is I'o.. iuld +4,r that uis private opitoons are hot changed, that he would take our claims ii,to his serious ettrisideration, anti lay them before hi , colleagues.

"The undersigned delegste of the English committee of Spanish bondholders in the name of his constittp-nf4, humbly appea:s to tLe sentiments of eqti;y and jest:o of the Spanish Government. " The . claims of the Engli-h creditors, based upon the confiscation of the half of the old 4 and 5 per cent. Coupons, has been the subject of repeatel appeals, ad dressed by its foreign and home creditors to the Spanish Government and Senate ; and ever since the commence. anent of the discussion regarding the law for the settle ment of the debt, until the present time, the creditors, strengthened by their fights, and confiding in the good faith of the Spanish Legislature, hare never ceased to . protest against the arbitrary violation of their interests, "Their legitimate demands have been so often and WI clearly represented, that the undersigned delegate of the English committee deems it needless to reciprocate the origin and history of the same to a person so well ac quainted as your Excellency with the 4nancial position , of his country. -- . .... " That which again restorektbereonfidence of the Spa nish bondholders, so often shaken, is the fact that the destinies of Spain are confided to the enlightened and patriotic direction of a Government whose motto is pro gress and juvice. For the present, there is not a claim or exaction of sacrifices made upon the Spanish nation ; and in which case your Excellency could not countenance the claims of the English creditors. But the state or position in which the Spanish credit is placed will best suggest to your Excellency whether Spain can much longer refuse to do justice to the demands of the credi tors, and your Excellency canno t b ut b e con vinc;ed that this just reparation is the only course by which Spain can ever see her credit revive and obtain the resources indispensable for the carrying out or de velopment of the grand projects destined to enrich the country. "E. , r these reasons, so highly politic a s we ll as equit able, the undersigned delegate of the English committee - hopes much from a cabinet whereof your Excellency forms a member, and the head of which is the illustrious Duke of Victory ; and that her Majesty's Government taking into serious consideration the deep importance of the subject, will submit to the high Parliameut such 'mea sures as may be deemed requisite to efface this last blot from the Spanish escutcheon, and repair the errors and wrongs of the . past, and to secure for an immediate future those advantages, and that progress, that such a great nation should not longer de deprived of.
