London, &c., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery In Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its peruse Its 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 ail 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 seV-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 infirmity or flinctional lerangement to which the timely ald 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 teen too generally confided to the care of ignorant empirics, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in their pretensions.

The negotiations for a Turkish loan were concluded yesterday with Messrs. Rothschild. It is to be for 2,200,0001. sterling in a six 6 per cent. stock at 85, re deemable in 15 years. The former Turkish loan, which was announced on the 31st of October, 1851, was for 2,000,0001. sterling, in a 6 per cent. stock at par, and was issued nominally to the Bank of Constantinople under the guarantee of the Government, with the stipulation that it : should be re imbursed in 23 years at the price of 120. This loan rapidly went to 111 premium, but, in consequence of a change of ministry, which led to the validity of the con tract being denied, the deposits were ultimately returned, and the transaction was cancelled by an inadequate com pensation to the holders of between 2 and 3 per cent. At the time of its introduction Consols were exactly at 100. Meanwhile they have fallen 10 per cent., and the new Turkish Joan is proposed at a reduction of 15 per cent. Allowance, however, must be made for the 20 per cent. premium which was to attach to the original loan at the end of 23 years, and, taking this into account, the terms on, the present occasion, as compared with the current price of Console, will appear nearly similar to those which were then given. Supposing, therefore, the pre mium of 11 per cent. at that time to have been warranted the question for capitalists now to determine will be the weight of the events that have since transpired to affect Turkish credit, so as to prevent the present loan from meeting the same degree of appreciation. Among these causes, the arbitrary manner in which the contract of 1851 was set aside is undoubtedly the most prominent, since, although the deposits were then returned in full, with a small bonus, the subscribers were for the time kept in such a state of doubt and apprehension as to create a feeling the effects of which will injure her finan cial prestige for many years. 'With regard to the effects of the war in increasing the risk of a loan, the opinions will be various, Some will fear that it may impose burdens upon Turkey from which she will with difficulty recover, while others will view it as the commencement of the regeneration of the empire, since the fact that, let the course of events be what they may, Russia will never be allowed to appropriate an inch of her territory is un questionable, while the influence of the Powers to whom she must now owe her existence may be expected to in troduce all those elements of progress which were alone wanting to make her one of the most prosperous nations of Europe. Added to this there is the consideration that the new loan, unlike the former, is contracted un der circumstances which must always render it popular among every class in Turkey, and also insure for it the moral support of the Governments of France and Eng land.—Times. THE SLIGO ELECTION COMMITTEE. This committee met again yesterday ; Sir Francis Baring in the chair. Henry Simpson, the party charged with bribing Alex ander Salter with 25/. to vote for Sadleir, was called, and, though he denied the statement of Slater that he had given him any money to vote, he declined answering the question whether or not he had given Slater any money at all. He also denied that he had in any way, directly or indirectly, acted as the agent of Sadleir at the election. The committee, towards the close of the day, came to the following decision : " That John Sadlier, Esq., was duly returned a member for the borough of Sligo. " That Alexander Slater was bribed by Henry Simpson with the sum of 251. to refrain from giving his vote to Mr. Somers at the last election for the borough of Sligo, which sum he afterwards gave up. " That James Kerr was bribed, through his wife, by Henry Simpson wfth 25/. to vote for Mr. Sadleir or not to vote at all at the last election, which sum he afterwards returned. "That Samuel Gillmore was bribed with 301. by Henry Owen O'Connor, since deceased, to refrain from giving his vote to Mr. Somers at the last election. " That it was not proved that the aforesaid acts of bribery were committed with the knowledge or consent of the said John Sadleir or his agents " THE FARRINGDON-STREET EXTENSION.

Mr. ROBERT BOURNE, who had given notice of the following motion :—" That referring to the papers laid before the Court of Proprietors, in accordance with the resolution of the quarterly court of October last, regarding the claim of th e C a lcutta Steam Company for the public services rendered by their steamer the India, it is the opinion of this court that those services should be acknowledged by payment of the sum claimed, namely, 20,000l."—proceeded to state that twenty-fire years ago attention was directed, in India and in England, to the establishing regular steam communication between Calcutta, Madras, and Suez, and large sums of money were subscribed for the purpose of encouraging attempts to extend steam navi gation. Public meetings were held in various parts of India, the Governor of Madras presiding at one of them, and it was the loudly -expressed wish of the natives that assistance towards that great object should be afforded. Lord William Bentinck, when Governor-General, took a great interest in the subject ; and in reply to a letter addressed to the court by Mr. Cutler, in 1840, the di rectors expressed themselves as fully sensible of the ad vantage of steam communication with India, and as sured that gentleman that their efforts had been and still were directed to the accomplishment of that object. They also stated they should be disposed to afford encourage ment by a pecuniary grant to any well-devised scheme for the purpose. Under those circumstances several gen tlemen connected with the East India Company pro jected the Calcutta Steam Company, and the India was ordered out in Sept., 1840, to run between Calcutta and Suez. In February, 1841, the Oriental and Peninsular Steam Company made overtures to the Court of Direc tors, in a letter, in which they requested to know whe ther the Court would give remuneration in some shape for the proposed services. In answer to that communi cation, on the 19th of March, the Court of Directors offered 20,000/. a year, for a period of five years, in aid of the measures projected. That arrangement was com pleted, and preparations were made for carrying it into effect. In the meantime the India steamer had been sent to India, in the full conviction that she would be admitted into any arrangement that would be made, and that conviction was retained by the Calcutta Company. Well knowing that the Peninsular and Oriental Com pany could not commence operations until 1843, and in tho.full belief that the India would be included in the ar rangement, or that, if not, they could trust to the justice and liberality of this Court, the Calcutta Company de termined upon the immediate commencement of the ser vices required. They made arrangements for sending the India at once from Calcutta to Madras and Suez ' • they incurred all the preliminary expenses whi c h suc h an enterprise naturally involved ; and as it was acknow ledged that no private party could undertake such ser vices without ruin, it could not be supposed respectable gentlemen in Calcutta would be such a parcel of incapa ble fools as to undertake them without expecting aid from the pubic purse. It was arranged that the steamer should start on her first voyage from Calcutta oh the 17th of September ; but while the India was under going some repairs, news arrived that the Sove reign of Ava was advancing with a powerful army on Rangoon. The governor of the Martaban pro vinces applied for immediate aid. The company had no steamer, their own war steamers being •n their way to assist in the China war, and there was no other al ternative but to ask for the services of the India. The Calcutta Company thought it deranged their plans and involved great loss, and seeing the emergency of the case, consented to abandon their intention, and placed the India at the disposal of the Governor-General. Within a few days the oth Regiment was conveyed by the India ' to Moelmyn, and the steamet:, was thence sent to take up a position before Rangoon. The King of Ava, ob serving the promptitude with which forces had been sent to the provinces lie threatened, retired, and probably an impending war was at that moment averted ; at a mo ment, too, when grave and perilous events in the north of India were occurring. It might be said that it was only by accident the India was engaged in such an im portant service ; but it was a very fortunate accident for the Government of India. He did not mention itfor the purpose of fastening upon it a substantive claim, but in dealing with a general claim he thought it de served consideration. On the return of the India from Rangoon, the original arrangement was resumed, and she left on her first voyage for Suez on the 10th of Jan., 1842. She performed the service better than could have been expected, and enabled important communications to be made to the Government at home, concerning the state of affairs in Affghanistan. She performed four voyages before the Peninsular and Oriental Company had a single vessel on the line ; and inasmuch as the Oriental Company would have been entitled to 20,0001. if one of their vessels had made a single voyage in 1842 the Calcutta Company thought they might fairly claim that sum for the services rendered by the India. At one time the Peninsular and Oriental Company seemed to have entertained the idea of taking up the India ; but the moment they heard of the formation of the steam com pany at Calcutta they withdrew from their proposal, in order to secure to themselves the undivided benefits which accrued from the arrangement with the Court of Directors. Having stated the broad and general grounds of the claim of the Calcutta Company, lie did not hesitate to assert that the claim was just and equitable. There was no attempt to deny that the India did perform the services which were so eagerly sought by the Court of Directors, and he could only suppose the court came to a summary and unfavourable conclu sion with regard to that claim, merely because it was treated in a strictly legal manner. If the Calcutta Company had had legal rights, he should not have been there pleading for them—the strong arm of the law would have given them justice ; but, he submitted, the court had not always been guided, in the distribution of money, by strictly legal considerations. It was the in firmity of great bodies, as of individuals, to be ungrateful for services when they had been performed ; but he hoped he should not appeal in vain to the generosity and liberality of this court. He was not insensible to the difficulties which surrounded the board, and had, therefore, modified his motion in these terms, " that re ferring to the papers laid before the Court of Proprie tors, in accordance with the resolution of the quarterly court of October last, regarding the claim of the Calcutta Steam Company for the public services rendered by their steamer the India, this court, having giv en considera tion to the claim, believes it to deserve the equitable and liberal consideration of the directors, and this court I accordingly recommends it to their favourable re-con sideration." Mr. MeexiLLot , seconded the motion. The CHAIRMAN said, if it was intended by this motion, to obtain a larger sum of money than had already been de cided upon, he could not agree to it. If the hon. pro prietor liked to move that the claim be referred to the di rectors for reconsideration that might be done, but he could not hold out any hope that the directors would go further than they had already said they would. A very good answer might be made to this case, particularly as it was admitted that the steam company had no legal claim. (Hear, hear.) He would not enter into that, as the papers had been laid before the proprietors, and if the honourable proprietor could not consent to further modify his motion he should be under the necessity of moving the previous question . Mr. JONES thought that if it was one of the positive duties of Government to provide public communication by roads, it was equally their duty to provide good sea communication where it was absolutely required, and that, as the services rendered had been for the benefit of the people of India, it would be a proper application of the Indian revenue to protect the steam company against loss. Mr. DENT (a director) observed that he had taken great interest in promoting steam communication be tween India and the mother country, and if he had not joined what was then called the comprehensive com pany, he should most likely have shared the loss of the gentlemen who had established the Calcutta Company. When the India was put on the line, as he was return ing to England, he took passage in her. He had no doubt the Government of that day would have employed one of the Government steamers to bring the intelli gence of disasters in Afghanistan home ; but the India, being on 4e point of sailing-, the Government took ad vantage of her to put despatches on board. He could bear testimony to the praiseworthy zeal with which Captain Henderson, on landing at Suez, posted off to Cairo, and induced the Pacha to charter a vessel to take these despatches to England. The intelligence fortu nately arrived in anticipation of the Bombay mail, which enabled the Government in this country to send out to the Governor-General of India despatches on which he issued instructions to General Nott, giving hi m full discretion to advance on Cabul if necessary. H e believed the gentlemen who had engaged in the Cal cutta Steam Company had been actuated by purely dis interested considerations; and be sympathised with them, the more perhaps because he himself narrowly escaped being a participator in their losses. Mr. LEWEN firmly believed the court was under a moral obligation to this company, if not a legal one ; and he trusted those parties who were entitled to make the court the cases of Messrs. Grant and Le Geyt, removed by Lord Falkland, when Governor of Bombay, from their situations as judges of the Suddur Court, in that presidency, on account of their being deeply in debt. The honourable proprietor laid great stress on addresses having been numerously signed by persons in the district of these courts in favour of the restoration to the bench of Messrs. Grant and Le Geyt, and on the fact that the local Government had entertained the greatest confidence in them, as was evinced by its having conferred on them other appointments. He also expressed a strong opinion that they had been sacrificed to the attacks of a Bombay newspaper, and, after condemning the conduct of a col league of theirs, who, having written eulogistic letters, refused to sit with them on the bench, he concluded by moving "That this court now take into consideration the case of the removal of Messrs. Grant and Le Geyt." Mr. ROMER seconded the motion, declaring his opi nion that the restoration of these gentlemen would only be an act of justice, whilst it would rectify the weakness and error of the Government of Bombay, who removed them. The CHAIRMAN was quite sure the Court of Proprietors would do the Court of Directors the justice to believe that this case was taken into their most deliberate and painful consideration. It was a case, no doubt, of an exceedingly painful nature. These gentlemen had occu pied the Suddur bench of Bombay for many years, and, up to a certain time, had most satisfactorily fulfilled their duties. They had borne most excellent characters — characters to which even the Government of Bombay had borne testimony. It must, therefore, have been with exceeding pain that this Court came to the conclusion — which they were bound to do—that, for the reasons which had been laid before the proprietors, they could not interfere. Neither the hon. mover nor the hon. seconder had done more than he expected ; but he must say ho thought it a very unwise proceeding to suggest that the Court of Directors should endeavour to take the matter out of the hands of the gentlemen wh om t h ey appointed to be the judges in such cases. He hoped the Court of Proprietors would negative the motion, which in fact either involved a censure on the directors, or im paired the authority of those to whom the power of judging properly and legitimately belonged. He b e . lieved, therefore, it would be less hurtful to the feelings of these gentlemen If, instead of proposing a direct ne gative, be moved as an amendment the previous question. Mr. DANIEL stated that, with regard to the ease of Mr. Le Geyt, Sir C. Wood was now satisfied the trans fer of a debt, alleged to have been fictitious, was really a bona fide and honourable transfer. He also expressed his opinion that these men were sacrificed through fear of a newspaper, but hoped that, as Lord Falkland was now in England, the reason for upholding an indiscreet act no longer existed. Mr. SULLIVAN believed the removal of these gentle men would strike a deadly blow at the independence of the bench, and that if the Court did not restore them they would sanction a most unwarrantable exercise of authority. Fifty years ago, when he went to Calcutta, insolvency was the rule, and insolvency the exception. (A laugh.) The Governor-General was hardly out of debt—the judges of the Supreme Court were deeply in debt ; and he wanted to know what people went to India for if it was not to get out of debt. (Laughter and cheers.) They ought to give the same measure of fair play to judges in India as was given to judges in this country. If they neglected their duty let them be solemnly impeached and solemnly condemned, but do not let judgeships depend on the good pleasure of the Governor; for if so, no judge would discharge his duty fearlessly and conscientiously. (Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN said it was impossible the Court of Proprietors could alter a despatch sent out to India, approved by the Board of Control. Mr. SULLIVAN was quite aware of their own impo tency, but " where there was a will there was a way." The directors could send a petition to the Board of Con trol. It was not the way, it was the will that waa wanting. (Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN thought they ought not to interfere with the executive. Mr. SULLIVAN rejoined that the proprietors only asked the directors to entreat the executive to do what was just, and hmest, and proper. (Hear, hear.) Captain SHEPPARD said he had no desire to press hardly on these gentlemen ; but he thought the tone of this debate was rather disadvantageous. Gentlemen filling high and important situations in India ought to command respect, not only by their principles, their moral charac ter, and their judicial capacity, but by the independence of their means. Though they could not prevent some servants of the Company being in debt, when the liabili ties of a judge were brought under the consideration of the whole public, it must have the effect of bringing the office into discredit. (Hear, hear.) It was a very serious matter for the Government to say these judges ought not to be removed ; but it would be a most dangerous Course to replace them, after the circumstances had been so fully exposed ; and be hoped the proprietors would not agree to a motion which would have the effect of censuring those who had removed them. Mr. LEwEN modified his resolution, and proposed it in these terms, " That the Court of Directors be requested to re-consider their decision in the case of Messrs. Le Gcyt and Grant." Mr. CLAItKE thought it was desirable there should be some means of obtaining compensatory justice for mis takes committed in the administration of our Indian Government ; but, on the other hand, the judges ought to be above suspicion ; and in the case of Mr. Le Geyt, it appeared that, before betiding a cause, he found it necessary to have a debt transferred, which he owed one of the suitors, lest a decision in his favour should be the subject of an appeal. Every one ought to be out of debt, but more particularly the judges of the land. He should, therefore, vote against the motion. The Court then divided. Nineteen proprietors and one director voted for Mr. Leaven's motion, and nine proprietors and fifteen directors against it. The motion having been declared to be negatived, complaint was made by Mr. Lewen that the directors had made themselves judges in their own cause. THE RAJAH OF NAGPOOR. Mr. SULLIVAN, presuming that the intelligence re ceived by the last mail was correct, that the company's troops were being marched upon the territories of the Rajah of Nagpoor with a view to their annexation, as in the case of the Rajah of Sattara, cited treaties with the late Rajah of Nagpoor to prove that the company recognised his right to adopt a successor, and that upon the recent death of that prince, the present rajah right fully succeeded, though his rights had not been recog nised by the company ; and concluded by asking i f the court could give any positive information on the subject. The CHAIRMAN replied in the negative. The hon. proprietor seemed to know a great deal more about it than he did. (A laugh.) Mr. PRINCRPS (a director) suggested that the march ing of the troops might not be with the view to annexa tion, but with the purpose of protecting the territory, pending the disputed adoption by the late rajah of a suc cessor. PUBLIC INFORMATION. Mr. JONES then moved, "That the information as to the proceedings of the Government in India, given by the Court of Directors to the Court of Proprietors, is insufficient to place the proprietors on an equality . with her Majesty in the choice of fit persons for the di rectorate, and that it be referred to the committee on bye laws to suggest some mode for remedying the de fect." Mr. LEWEN seconded the motion for the sake of having the question discussed ; but The CHAIRMAN immediatelly put it, and declared it negatived, only two hands being held up Mr. MACGREGOR postponed, at th e wish of the court, a vote of thanks he intended to move to the directors who are about to retire. in its favour. The other ordinary business was disposed of, and th• court adjourned. AUSTRALIAN CONSOLS GOLD AND COPPER MINING COMPANY.—A meeting of this company took place yes. terday, when the report was adopted, and a committee of shareholders were selected to confer with the directors upon future operations.
