T heessentlal obiect 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 other and premature decay at all s t a ges of Life, than, perhaps, any any class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is Particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their the physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded health happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there are rrincisles of personal management which cannot be violated without t rifling grievous penalties, and whe n w i s d om an d regre t succeed fl e heyday of inconsiderate s e lf-i n d u l gence, how these pena lti e s ay be Mitigated, bow 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 functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. T heAnthor has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive Practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which are anfortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant emPirics, who inflict great injury on these who are induced to place faith in their pretensions.

DEATH OF REAR-ADMIRAL CHARLES HOPE. We regret to announce the death of Rear-Admiral Charles Hope, at the age of 56 years. The following sketch of this gallant officer's career is from O'Byrne's Biography, to which we may add, that his last service afloat was in command of the Trafalgar, 120, and up to the date of his promotion as rear-admiral, in April last, he was superintendent of Sheerness Dockyard. Charles Hope, born in 1798, is second son of the Right Hon. Charles Hope, Lord President of the Court of Session in Scotland, by Charlotte, daughter of John, second Earl of Hopetoun, nephew of Lieut.-General Sir John Hope G.C.H., and of Vic e -Ad m i ra l th e Right Ron. Sir William Johnstone, G.C.B. ; brother of Win. Hope, Esq., a major in the army and captain in the 7th Foot ; and first cousin of the late Captain Wm. James, Charles James, and George James Hope, R.N. This officer entered the navy July 24, 1811, as second-class volunteer, on board the Sparedon, 10, Captain James Green, on the Leith station, where he removed in the following November, to the Adamant, 44, flag-ship of Rear-Admiral William Albany Otway. In April, 1812, he became midshipman of the Semiramis, 36, Captain Charles Richardson, bearing the flag afterwards of Rear-Admiral Charles Tyler at the Cape of Hood Hope. On his return home in August, 1814, he joined the Chatham, 74, Captain David Lloyd, lying at Ports mouth, whence, towards the close of the same year, he sailed for North America in the Erne, 20, commanded by the late Lord Napier. In the course 0f.1815 he was successively received on board the Endytnion, Tagus, and Alceste frigates, Captains Henry Hope, James Whitley Deans Dundas, and Murray Maxwell; under the latter of whom he accompanied Lord Amherst on his einbassy.to China, and was wrecked, while returning home with that nobleman, in the Straits of Gaspar, Feb. 13, 1817. Obtaining his first commission on the 20th of the following October, he was next, Feb. 22, 1818, appointed lieutenant of the Liffey, 50, Captain Hon. Henry Duncan, in which ship be visited the Me diterranean and cruised for some time off Lisbon. After serving with Captain Charles Adam in the Royal Sove reign yacht he was invested, October 15, 1822, with the rank of commander, and on Feb. 28, 1824, nominated to the Brisk, 1 0 . In the m onth of Se p tember followin g he value.large sm c u a g p g t l a it il Hope, whose advancement to p ost rank took p lace Jan. l c u a g p g tu er r , ed \N , it o u ff a F e l a a r ri g i b o o r o o f u g co li ns il id e e a ra d ble a the Tyne, 28, a vessel in wh ich he served on the South American station, and, prior to bein g p aid 26, 1826, was subsequen tl y a pp ointed, Oct. 21, 1830, to 1834, passed over 8 2 , 000 miles , a g reater distance than off in Jan., had been traversed by any vessel since the war ; Jan. 24, 1835, to the Dublin, 50, fitting at Plymouth, where he was superseded in the ensuing July; and, August 28, 1841, to the Thalia, 42. He was employed in the latter frigate on the East India and Pacific stations until the close of 1845, when she returned to England and was put out of commission. Captain Hope married, Sept. 12, 1826, An'ne, eldest daughter of the late Rear- Admiral Win. Henry Webley Parry, C. 8., by whom, who died Dec. 24, 1836, he has issue. PROMOTION OF COMMODORE EDEN. Henryßy tEheandnenattthainosf the Rear-Admiral ra nk ofe ra This gallant offi cer , w h o h as ' served actively afloat an d ashore for 25 y ears , i s f ourth son of the late Thomas admiralope Commodore f m th m e o b d l o u r e. e Eden, Esq., of Wimbledon, county of Surrey, deputy auditor of Greenwich Hospital, by Mariana, daughter of Arthur J ones , E sq., b rother of John Eden, Esq., a major in the army, and of Arthur Eden, Esq., assistant comptroller of the Exchequer ; brother-in-law of Lord Brougham, and of the late Admiral Sir Graham Moore, G.C.B. ; nephew of Sir Robert Eden, Bart., who was governor of the province of Maryland in 1770, as also of the late Lord Auckland ; and cousin of Captain C. Eden, R.N. He entered the navy June 15, 1811, as first-class volunteer on board the Acasta, 40, Captain Alexander Robert Kerr, with whom he cruised most actively on the home and North American stations, latterly as midshipman, until August, 1815. In No vember following, after an intermediate attachment to the Namur, 74, and Tonnant, 80, flag-ships at the Nore and at Cork of Sir Charles Rowley and Sir Benjamin Hallowell, he joined the Alceste, 38, Captain Murray Maxwell, and soon afterwards sailed with Lord Amherst on an embassy to China -while on his return from which co u nty Ofy in February, 1817, h e suffered shipwreck in the Staits Gaspar. Obtaining his first commission Oct. 20, in the same year, Mr. Eden was next appointed, June 22, 1818, to the Liffey, 50, Captain Hon. H enr y Duncan, under whom he cruised for some time off Lisbon, and, March 28, 1820, to the Roche fort, 80, as flag lieutenant to Sir Graham Moore, commander-in-chief in the Mediterranean. He there assumed the successive command, Oct. 23, 1821, and July 19, 1822, of the Chanticleer and Martin, sloops, and in both those vessels wy very efficiently occupied during the revolution in Greece. O n th e paying-off of the Martin, in February, 1825, Captain Eden was pre sented with a handsome sword as " a t r ib ute of respect " fro his ship's company. He attained post rank while in command of the Herald yacht, April 30, 1827, and subsequently joined, February 17, 1832, the Conway, 28, in which frigate, after being very actively e m pl oye d in the North Sea during the interruption of our friendly rela tions with the Dutch, and also as senior officer in the Tagus under Sir William Parker in 1832-3, h e proceeded to 'South America, where he continued until his return to England, in October, 1835. We next find him offi ci3ao.ticnagp,tiain, fromnthelmpArepgrnilab3loe; 1839,104 104, and Caledonia, 1842, 12 t 120, as o fi Sir Graham Moore, then commander-in-chief at Ply. mouth. His next appointment afloat was May 7, 1844 , to the Collingvvood, 80, fitting for the flag of Sir George cis Seymour, the command of which ship, h owever, his health obliged him to give up in the following August. Subsequently Captain Eden held the office of private secretary to his noble and revered relative, the late Lord Auckland, when first Lord of the Admiralty, and was t appointed from that position to be superintendent of GUN BOATS. A contemporary says :•—" The machinery for the new gun-boats Pelter, Pincher, Ranger, Snapper, Gleaner, and Ruby, is now more than half completed. These vessels are of light draught of water, and of very heavy armament, and will, in all probability, realise completely the true idea of what gun-boats are required to be in every useful respect. The whole of the machinery will be ready to put into them immediately they are launched. We may add that four of these vessels are being con structed by Mr. Pitcher, of Northfleet, and two at Deptford Dockyard. Their draught of water will not exceed six feet, and their machinery, of the nominal power of 60 horses, will all be under the water-line, and thus protected from the effects of shot. Their arma ment will be two of those new 95 cwt. 5000 yards range guns, throwing shell weighing, when loaded, 100 lb. These will be really effective gun-boats, and will throw into the shade the paddle-wheel gunboats of which we have heard so much, and whichlave been obtained from the Prussians. The difference and value of the two classes will at once be palpable, when it, is considered that the screw gun-boat has all her machinery protected at six feet draught of water, while the. Prussian gun•boats' paddles not only offer a sure target to the enemy's gunners, but it leads the marksman also to drop a shot into the ma chinery, to the ruin or destruction* of the vessel. Mul tiply the screw gun-boat as much as the Admiralty may please, but we trust they will h ave nothing to Tlo with the dangerous paddle " blow-up" target-machine. Morning Herald. The Boscawen, 70, Captain Glanville, took on board the effects of Rear-Admiral Fanshawe, Commander-in-Chief on the North America and West India station, at Spit head, yesterday evening, and herofficers have been recalled from leave, the ship being ordered to sail this morning for Gray town, Mosquito, to offer protection to the British who have been burnt out, with other residents of that place, by the mad zeal of the Captain of an American cor vette. A successful operation in the way of brewing beer from concentrated wort has been performed on board the Boscawen, by Mr. Edward Duke Moore, of Rawton Abbey, Staffordshire, during the past day or two; Mr. Moore, having an order from the First Lord of the Admiralty to test the efficacy of his experimental researches in the above direction, with the view of supplying the seamen and marines of the fleet with quickly made wholesome beer. The Raleigh, 50, sailing-frigate was docked yesterday at Portsmouth, to be repaired. _ The old 42 gun-frigate Bacchant e i s t o b e moored near the Dreadnought for a cholera-ship. The Spiteful paddle-wheel steam- s l oop, C ommander Kynaston, having taken on board a l arge supply of stor es from the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, was reported ready for sea yesterday, and will leave at an early hour to-day for the Black Sea. Commodore John Shepherd, Supnin tendent of Woolwich Dockyard, went on board the Spite ful, and the crew were mustered and inspected. The stores she takes out for the army and fleet at the seat of war in the East are valued at 40,0001. The Adder steam-vessel arrived at Sheerness yesterday from Chatham, at 8 30 a.m., with Commodore Christopher Wyvill, Captain Arthur Farquhar, of the Malacca, and Mr. George Elsell, the Deputy-Judge-Advocate to the Admiralty, to hold a court-martial on board the Waterloo, flag-ship. The Black Eagle steam-yacht, Master Commander Pet ley, was docked at Portsmouth yesterday to be fitted with a novel mechanical apparatus, the invention of a scientific French gentleman, which will denote accurately the speed at which the vessel may bo going without heaving the log. It is a kind of dial, fitted to the bottom of the ship exter nally, which corresponds with a similarindication inboard. The Eliza transport, Captain Bedlinson, arrived in the Downs yesterday for Calais, to embark French troops for the Baltic. The second portion of the French army under orders for the Baltic includes the Bth battalion of Chas sours de Vincennes, and the 15th, 23d, 41st, and 56th Regiments of the Line. APPOINTMENTS. Lieutenants —Francis W. Turton (1849), from the Bos cawen, 70, flag-ship of Rear-Admiral Arthur Fanschawe, C. 8.. Commander-in-Chief on the North American and West Indies station, at present at Portsmouth, to the Impregnable flag-ship at Devonport ; Josiah H. Hatchard, to the Boscawen, vice Turton. Robert Bentley to be leading man of stores at Woolwich dockyard. Lieutenant Hugh T. Burgoyne, 11th of January, 1854, late of the Boscawen, took up his commission to the Waterloo, yesterday, and joined that ship. DEPARTURE OF SIR JOHN BURGOYNE FOR THE EAST. We understand that General Sir John Burgoyne left London last night for the East }report says for Sebastopol. THE DESPATC.Fi GUN-BOATS. The first of the new class of despatch gun-boats for the Baltic—the Arrow, Lieut.-Commander Joliffe, built by Mare and Co., of Blackwall, with engines by Humphrey and Co. was taken out of the basin at Woolwi c h y es t er d ay and tried down the River for a short time. Lieut. Joliffe being absent at the court-martial on the second master, Mr. Mugford, the master of the Fisgard, was in .charge. Mr. Watts, the assistant surveyor of the navy ; Mr. Peak°, assistant master shipwright ; Mr. Hughes of the engineer ing department of the Admiralty • Lieut. Hore, the com mander of the Beagle—the second vessel of the same class, were on board. The Arrow, now nearly finished, presents ono of the most elegant specimens of a dashing cruiser that can be found afloat. She was not down to her proper bearings yester day, but was sufficiently advanced towards a state of com letion to give a very good idea of what she will be when in blue -water. She has the fine lines of a wholesome sea going yacht, with all the substantiality of a strong stout man-of war, that can not only fire 98-pounders, but can take her chance in receiving them. Her hull is long, low, and sweeping ; her masts not very tall, but well propor tioned and raking; whilst her rig, that of a three masted schooner, sets her off most admirably, and gives altogether a saucy character to the handsome craft. She had yesterday her two formidable guns on board—those new 93 cwt. pieces of o rdnance —fitted amidships on slides, and adapted to throw shells of nearly 1001 b. weight. Her four howitzers are not yet on board. Her machinery, which is all placed under the water-line, worked most smoothly and efficiently—there was not the slightest heat ing, and the vibration on board was scarcely felt at 93 revolutions. On Monday next she will have everything on board, and will be ready to sail to the Baltic. Lieut. Here's ship, the Beagle (also built by Mare and Co., with Hum phrey's machinery), will soon follow her, and with this first instalment of the di spatch squadron, Sir Charles Napier will have two most effective and powerful additions to his fleet, either for fighting or running. Of their tonnag e and class-470 tons and 160-horso power —these vessels are, beyond comparison, the best designs ever turned out by the Admiralty. They not only look well and float well on the water, but it can be seen at a glance that they possess those properties that stamp them at once as the real " cay of the fleet." It should be noticed, gala specimen of what British enter prise, under official direction, can accomplish on an emer gency,s and engines have been constructed, completed for service,in I tha n und onethos: t t h h e e m se ship s months.lass four THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPR AT SHEERNESS. The wires of the Admiralty elect r i c t e l egraph have been laid down through the town, have crosse d t h e i nner and outer drawbridges within the fortifications at Sheerness, an d are new completed to the north-east corner of the dock yard wa il, within the garrison. The line will be com pleted days from to-day, and will be immediately set to work. This will remove the necessity of keeping an establishment of officers and signalmen in e communicating ships (between Sheerness dockyard and the North t Ken- ItailwaY) which are now moored in the River Medway, by which a considerable saving will be plated within two or three effected. TRANSPORT. port, Commander P. C. s tO am OD trans Lovett, arrived at 12 o'clock noon yesterday. Com mander Lovett communicated with the admiral, sent his invalids to the Waterloo at 2.15 p.,. , and immediately proceeded for Woolwich and Deptford. The Holyrood The Holy ir r H oo E d, ii h?r L ed Y left Ledsund on the 3d inst. The fleet were then expected to commence their operations against Aland on the sth or 7th, the attack havi French dela.yed in consequence of the non-arrival of the artillery- The whole of the steam fleet under Sir Charles Napier was there, consisting of the Duke of Wellington , Ma jestic, Prin cess Royal, St. Jean d'Acre, James W a tt, and Cumberland, the latter a sailing ship. The Belleisle, hospital ship, was with Sir Charles' squadron also. Commodore Grey's squadron, with the French troops, arrived there on the Ist inst. The three Russian prisoners who gave themselves up were all private soldiers. A Russian artillery man also made his escape, and, when taken on board, gave freely a particular account of the fortifications and the internal arrangements making for the defence of Bomarsund. He made his escape on the 2d, when the principal part of the French troops were landed on the island, from 12 to 14 mil es below. Bo niarsund, who were landed merely for exercise. This Rus sian soldier states that the troops are all living six upon four allowance, and the principal part of them would be glad to be released and taken on board as p r i soners. Ho states they have all made up their minds not to fight if they can help it, and, if sent out to do so, will to a man run the first opportunity, being treated most cruelly by their officers. On the Holyrood's passage home she put into Memel. By a letter from there by her there were when she loft more than 1,300 neutral vessels discharging and loading there. Memel streets were swarmed with Russian merchants, all eager to charter vessels with produce brought overland from Russia into Prussia, and shipped off from Memel as Prussian property. Certain it is, that nearly all nego tiations for charters from Memel are made by Russian mer chants temporarily residing there, who are assisted by all sorts of grades of Prussians acting as interpreters. The Holyrood on her homeward passage spoke the Daunt less in the North Sea, 40 miles to the westward of Holmons, and the Nimrod hired transport, No. 112, off the Island of Laeso, in the Cattegat ; she was bound for Copenhagen. When she called at Memel, she left 47 coast volunteers there to man 14 prizes taken for breaking the blockade, then anchored there under charge of the British Consul. The Prussians say the blockade of the Russian ports is quite a bugbear, as all the Russian produce is constantly being transported across the frontiers into Prussia, and shipped off at Memel for all parts of the world. Very largo shipments of hemp are continually taking place from Memel ; this, they say, will toll its own tale to the world at large. The liolyroocl brings several privatQ despatches for merchants in England, which will be landed at Wool wich. The mails left by the Nicoli on the 2d inst. , via Dantzic. The cholera is on the declin e i n genera l through out the fleet, the cases being very few when the Holyrood left. She brought home eight invalids from the fleet, seven of whom were sent on board the Waterloo. One landed at Memel in a dying state from consumption. The following invalids, brought home by the Holyrood hired steam transport, were received on board the Water loo yesterday :=Henry Lover, gunroom steward of the Desperate ; Cornelius Mahony, captain of the forecastle of the Gorgon; George Morris, yeoman signalman of th e Cressy; Edward Arnold, A.B.} of the Gorgon; Michael Thomas Dunn, engineer's steward of the Tribune, who was by mistake sent to the Black Sea, instead of the White Sea ; John COok, R.M. snpernumary, to the Baltic fleet, last from the Belleisle hospital ship, late of the Duke of Wel lington ; John Young, A.B. of the Cuckoo ; Win. Smith, A.B. of the Princess-Royal; David Ritchie, A. 8., from the James Watt, was (in consequence of severe illness) sent on shore at Memel—all these men will undergo a medical survey on board the Waterloo or at Melville Hospital, Chatham. The invalids sent up from Deal Hospital by the steam vessel Wildfire have been sent up to Melville Hospital. The surgeons of the Waterloo, Devonshire, and Janus have proceeded up to Chatham with them in the Wildfire, to assist in the medical survey. THE SURGEON OF THE TIGER. Dr. Doraville, of the Tiger, has arrived at Malta from Odessa. A correspondent informs us that he was "ex ,changed for an old ruffian of a Polish doctor, captured by one of our ships on the coast of Circassia." This doctor goes back to his Russian masters very unwillingly. Mr. Lawless, the assistant-surgeon, remains at Od essa . Medical Times. PRUSSIAN PREPARATIONS. The Prussians, it is said, are preparing for the worst, 300,000 men will soon be under arms for active service, with 860 guns. An instant order has been given for the immediate purchase of 1,200 horses, and a considerable augmentation in the cavalry department is visible. PLYMOUTH, AUG. 11. The Harbinger, steare..transport, arrived at Plymouth on Thurkda.y night frcim Scinthampton, - bound to the Black Sea. :She embarked here this morning a commissariat officer, who has charge of 100,0001. in specie, for the use of the force serving in the East. The specie was brought down by railway yesterday morning to avoid the danger of the channel, and was lodged at the dockyard for the night. This morning the specie was taken on board in boats. Rear-Admiral Montagu Stopford, late superintendent of the dockyard, Devonport, embarked at ten o'clock this morning in the Harbinger, for a passage to the Black Sea. He has been appointed captain of the fleet there. The Harbinger was to proceed on her voyage in a few hours. Her Majesty's ship Diligence was spoken withyesterday in the channel, bound to the eastward. SALE OF RUSSIAN PRIZES. Yesterday, the Russian brig Nadescha, 230 tons, taken prize by her Majesty's steamer Alban, Captain Otter, was put up to auction at Lloyd's. The first over was 7001., and she was sold for 1,430/. • making, with 2271. 55., which her cargo fetched, a total of' 1,6571.53., to be divided be tween the officers and crew of the Alban. Tile foreign brig Wasthi, 200 tons burden, of which Anders Paterson was late master, an Admiralty droit, sold for 7206. COURT-MARTIAL. A court•marCal was held yesterday on board the flag ship Waterloo, to try William John Webster Yellan, act ing second-master on board of the Arrow steam gun-boat. The following officers composed the Court :—President, Commodore C. Wyvill, Captain Superintendent John Jervis Tucker, Captain Arthur Farquhar, Captain Lord Frederick Kerr, and Commander Josiah Thompson. The court assembled at nine o'clock. The prisoner was unassisted by counsel. The charges were—For leaving and being absent from the Ilebe hulk to the Arrow on the 27th and 30th days of July last. Prisoner was ordered under arrest by Commodore Shepherd. Four witnesses were called by the prosecutor, Lieut.- Commander Jolliffe. After their evidence was heard the prisoner put in -a written defence. The court was cleared from 11.25 to 1.15, when the Deputy Judge-Advocate Mr. George Essell, read the de cision of th e cour t to the following effect :—" That the prisoner had been virtually released from arrest and sent to do his duty ; they, therefore, wero of opinion that the charges were not proved, and the court acquitted the pri soner." THE PRUSSIAN PRINCE AT PORTSMOUTH. The Lieutenant-General Prince Radzivilli visited the Excellent gunnery-ship, yesterday morning, at eleven o'clock, and was received by Capt. Sir Thomas Maitland. The prince was accompanied by Lieutenant Hall, director of police; and every attention was paid to the distin guished soldier. He was much gratified with the practice of the Excellent, and expressed his acknowledgments to Captain Maitland to that effect. The whole discipline of the ship was prominently demonstrated, from beating to quarters to attacking the enemy. The shell practice was particularly.effective, and did justice to the officer in com mand of the gunnery department. The prince and his son partook of a handsome luncheon on board, and left the Excellent under the most favourable impression of that establishment. MILITARY. Another delay has occurred in reference to the new dress of the army. The patterns were to have been sealed yes terday. This day at half-past ten will decide the matter. THE COLDSTREAM GUARDS.--Colonel H. Itaikes, for many years connected with this regiment, died a few days since. He served in Hanover•, Denmark, Italy, and the Peninsula, and was at the battles of Talavora and Busse°, and at the siege of Badajoz. Ho held a modal and clasp. THE NEW INFANTRY UNIFORM.—The uniform of the band will be white as usual, but in the new shape, that of a tunic. MAJOR-GENERAL CIIATTERTON, K.H.S.F. Our distinguished countryman, Major-General Chatter ton, K.H., S.F., has received from her Majesty tho pen sion for " distinguished services in the army," an honour of which no officer is more deserving. His excellence as a citizen is well known and appreciated here, and his conduct as our representative in the Commons House of Parliament won the favour and esteem of all parties. He is a deputy lieutenant and magistrate of our county and city, and is also provincial grand master of Munster. We extract from Hart's Army List the services of our gallant townsman: — Major-General Chatterton served in the 12th Royal Lancers in Portugal, Spain, Flanders, and France, from 1811 to 1818, including the affairs of Fuente Guinaldo and Aldea de Ponte ; the sieges of Ciudad Rodrigo and Baclajoz ; the actions of Usagro, Llerona, passage of the Tonnes, near Salamanca (town) ; heights of St. Christoval, Raeda, Cas trajon, and battle of Salamanca ; affairs at Tudela, Yalla dolid, Celadadel Carminho; to the investment and siege of Burgos; actions at Monasterio, Quintana falls Venta del Pozo, and Cabozon; actions on the retreat from Burgos to Salamanca, thence to the passage of the Huerba, Torre quemada, and outposts to Ciudad Rodrigo, upon the ad vance of the army in 1813; the passage of the Ebro, action at Osma, and battle of Vittoria ; actions at Villa- Franca, Tolosa, to the siege and capture of St. Sebas tian ; the action on crossing the Bidassoa and carrying the enemy's fortified entrenchments ; the battle of the Nivelle; the actions at St. Jean de Luz, at Anglet ; the Mayor's House, Bidart ; the battles on the Nive from the 9th to the 13th December, 1813 ; the passage of the Adour and investment of Bayonne, occupation of Bordeaux, the pas sage of the Garonne, and affairs at Etaliers, or the passage of the Dordogne, besides various skirmishes and minor affairs.

Received the com mands of her Majesty to attend and boar the great banner on the occasion of the funeral of the late illustrious Duke of Wellington, ' in consideration of his long, faithful, and distinguished services.' On home employment his eminent services will long be remembered with gratitude and ad miration, during the turbulent and lawless scenes in Bir mingham, Manchester, Nottingham," izc.—Cork, Consti tution. Thirty•five fine young horses were sent from Woolwich to Chatham yesterday morning to complete Captain Moun tain's field battery at that station. Mortar practice has been carried on twice every day during the last fortnight at Woolwich. Captain Cleaveland's company, 12th battalion Royal Artillery, have been placed under orders to hold themselves in readiness to embark for Malta. Large detachments will embark at the same time to fill up the companies already stationed at Malta. TVORKING OF MR. FORBES MACKENZIE'S ACT I.V SCOTLAND. The Scottish Association for Suppressing Drunken• ness have been procuring information on the effect which the recent act for the regulating of public-houses has had upon drunkenness and crime. They have endea voured .-to ascertain what the result has been for the first six weeks in all the large burghs of Scotland ; and so far as they have received the returns, the tes timony of individuals on whom reliance can be placed warrant the committee of the association in stating that the Legislature, in passing the act referred to, have conferred a great boon upon Scotland, and that with few exceptions, and these admitting of explana: tion, the result has been a large diminution both of crime and of intemperance. One point as to which information has been sought Is, the number of persons brought into the police drunk for protection, or drunk and charged with crime, on the l. six Saturdays, Sundays, and Monday s subsequent to Mr Forbes Mackenzie's Act coming into full operation this year, beginning Saturday, May 27, 1854, and the number of such persons for the c orresponding period of last7year, beginning Saturday M a y 28, 1853. It has been ascertained that the following are the num bers for the last two years respectively, in the towns from which returns have been already received, viz.,— 1853. 1854. Aberdeen .................................... 248 117 36 18 Arbroath ... ................................. 33 41 Ayr ........................................... 260 14 7 8anff..........................................

They seem to show, diminution of intemperance, and corresponding saving; of expense to the public in the maintenance of prisoners _ HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY.) Their Lordships met at five o'clock. ROYAL COMMISSION. The Royal Assent was given by commission to the following bills :—The Metropolitan Sewers, Literary and Scientific Institutes, Militia (No. 2), Militia (Scot land), Militia (Ireland), Militia Pay, Ballots Suspension, Prisoners Removal, Episcopal and Capitnlar Estates, and Bankruptcy, Real Estate Charges, Medical Gradu ates (University of London), Mayo County Advances, Incumbered Estates (West Indies), Legislative Council (Canada), Merchant Shipping Acts Repeal, Stocker's Divorce. The Lords' Commissioners were the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Argyll, and the Marquis of Westminster. THE SLAVE TRADE AT CUBA. The Earl of CLARENDON in laying on the table a despatch from our Consul at Cuba said, since the ap pointment of the last Captain-General at Cuba a most marked improvement had taken place with respect to the suppression of the slave trade in that island. (Hear.) The Common Law Procedure Bill was read a third time and passed. The Report of the Select Committee on the Printing of the House was considered and agreed to. FINANCIAL BURDENS OF NEW ZEALAND. Lord MONTEAGLE presented a petition from the Legislative Council of New Zealand complaining of the financial burdens cast on that colony. The Duke of NEWCASTLE said that his noble friend had referred to what had passed two years ago, and to the part which he took in the debates on the New Zealand Constitution Act two years ago. He could only say that he fully adhered to every opinion which he then expressed, and that he had stated •o when he held the seal of the Colonial-office. POSTAL COMMUNICATION WITH FRANCE AND SARDINIA. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE wished to ask his noble friend the Postmaster-General what prospect there was of reduction being effected in the postage of letters despatched to France and Sardinia ? Lord CANNING said that the Government were not disinclined to take any steps in their power to bring this question to a satisfactory issue. The difficulty of deal ing with the postage on Sardinian letters arose from the want of a more satisfactory arrangement with France, and he did not think that anything could be done in this matter until a new convention had been concluded with that country. So far, however, as newspapers were concerned, he believed that a more satisfactory arrangement than at present existed might be made with the Sardinian Government, quite independently of the result of the negotiations with France. The house then adjourned at a quarter-past six o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 3 o'clock. NEW WRIT. On the motion of Mr. HATTER a new writ was ordered for Marylebone, in the room of Sir B. Hall, who had accepted the Chiltern Hundreds. PETITIONS. Petitions were presented by Mr. HUME from the So ciety of Arts, in favour of decimal system of weight measures and coinage ; by Lord DUDLEY STUART, signed by 13,564 of the inhabitants of Glasgow, praying that no conditions of peace may be agreed to which do not indemnify this country for the cost of the war, as well as make Russia disgorge her ill-acquired possession in the Crimea, Finland, Georgia, Circassia, and Poland ; Mr. ISAAC BUTT, from the United Secession Church of Paisley against the over-working of young children in factories. NOTICES OF MOTIONS. Several notices of motion, which have become of annual character, were given for next session, including a notice of motion of Mr. T. Chambers on the subject of Convents and Nunneries, by Sir J. Pakington, on the subject of general education, and a notice from Mr. J. Hume in favour of the payment of salaries in Govern ment offices quarterly instead of half-yearly. MR. A. O'FLATIERTY. In reply to Mr. MACARTNEY, Sir J. YOUNG said he must decline to lay on the table copies of all applications and recommendations to him in favour of Mr. A. O'Flaherty, as being qualified for the duties of Special Commissioner of Income-tax for Ireland. SLIGO ELECTION. In reply to Mr. \%HITESIDE, Sir J. YOUNG said it would not be consistent with Parliamentary practice to lay on th e t a bl e a repor t o f the trials for perjury arising out of the last Sligo elec tion, but it was intended next year to institute a second prosecution. EXPENSIVE RETURNS. Mr. FITZROY brought up a very formidable looking return connected with education in Scotland. RETIRED FULL PAY OFFICERS. Colonel FREESTON, before putting the question of which ho had given notice to his right hon. friend the Secretary-at-War, craved the indulgence of the house for a moment in explanation of his motive for doing so, feeling deeply interested in the subject. The officers alluded to, were induced to accept the re tired full pay, from age, wounds, and infirmities con tracted in the service, and he could speak to the fact, having had the honour of serving with many of them in various parts of the woi ld, a more meritorious set of officers do not exist, the greater num ber of them having seen upwards of forty years' service. With these few remarks he would ask his right hon. friend the Secretary at War whether her Majesty has been graciously pleased to extend to officers already re tired on full pay the same boon which has been recom mended by the Commission on Promotion in the Army, to be granted to those officers who shall in future retire under similar circumstances. Mr. S. HERBERT said the report referred to had been drawn up, but it remained to be submitted to her Majesty; when it should have received her sanction, the subject mooted by his hon. and gallant friend would receive the immediate consideration of the Horse Guards. LORDS AMENDMENTS. The Lords amendments to the Common Law Proce dure Bill, the Russian Government Securities Bill, and the Midland Great Western Railway of Ireland (Baronies Contributions) Bill were considered and agreed to. THE CONE TELEGRAPH. Mr. HANKEY asked the First Naval Lord of the Admiralty whether, in consideration of the very favour able report made by experienced and practical officers respecting Mr. Redl's Cone Telegraph, it is his intention to make any use of the system in the navy ; and to con sider the claims of Mr. Redl to some reward, as re commended in the report of the officers appointed to examine into the merits of his telegraph and dual sys tem, laid before the house. Admiral BERKELEY replied in the negative, at least until the experiments which were now going on in Portland dockyard should justify such a proceeding. THE SUSPENDED WRITS. Sir W. JOLLIFFE then moved the issue of a wri for Cambridge in the room of the unseated members. After some observations from Mr. H. Berkeley, Mr. Huine, Mr. Malins, and Mr. Duncombe, the house divided when there appeared, For the motion Against it Majority The motion was accordingly agreed to. Sir W.

Mr. Justice Erle, than whom a more intelligent and upright judge does not sit upon the English bench, must have been as much astonished as we were at the verdict of the jury upon the Esher murderess on Wednes day last. That Anne Brough murdered her six children in the most pitiless and cold-blooded manner was a point upon which there was no dispute. She made a frank confession of her guilt to the superintendent of police who had the charge of the case from the first, after she had received the usual admonitions. The question for the jury was sitnply as to her moral responsibility at the time she committed this most awful series of crimes. 'We must first divest the case of all idea of continuous insanity. She was sane before the perpetration of these dreadful deeds —she was perfectly sane when she stood in the dock at Guildford the other day— and, as we think will presently appear, she was sane enough when she made her confession a few hours after she had carried her purpose into effect. The question of her sanity cannot be considered as solely resting upon what she represented her state of mind to have been immediately before she murdered her children. The inference must be drawn from a larger field. We must take into ac count the antecedents of -the act. Granted that a man is beside himself —that he is not acting as a perfectly sane person would act, when he draws the trigger of a pistol against his fellow-man, or steals up to the side of his bed at night and draws a razor across his throat while he is asleep ; but such temporary frenzy is not a sufficient palliation of his act in the eye of reason, nor in the contemplation of the English law. Nor will a de ranged act of the nervous system, nor even an organic lesion of the brain, constitute insanity. Neither the fretfulness of shaken health nor the dark broodings of the vicious man over the consequences of his own acts are madness. Still less would it be proper to argue in a circle that because a man is a great criminal therefore he is mad, and because mad, therefore a great criminal ; for, in this case, the greatest monsters who have dis graced human nature would be rather objects of sym pathy and consideration than of abhorrence and pun ishment. Now, the case of Anne Brough is this :—She was a woman of evil life ; nor could she plead the strong pas sions and ill-regulated mind of youth in palliation of her disorders. She was forty-three years of age ; she was the mother of six children ; her husband is living, and, for all that has appeared, behaved himself with regard to her and so his family with all affection and propriety. Despite of all these powerful inducements to respectable and orderly life, the wretched woman gave herself up to a course of intrigue and debauchery. Her husband at length became aware of her misconduct, but wished to obtain absolute proof of her guilt before separating from the mother of his six children. He caused her to be watched when she went up to London a day or two before the 9th ofJune last. The result of this proceeding was that she was seen to enter a brothel with her paramour ; and of her actual guilt there could, of course, remain no rea sonable doubt. When she returned to the quiet little cottage at Esher where her six children were, she was met by her incensed husband, who reproached her with her atrocious misconduct, and announced his intention of separating from her fel. ever. The poor man quitted his home himself, instead of turning the guilty wretch out of doors, and left her alone with the children. What her thoughts must have been at that dreadful moment it would be difficult to say who has not been struck to the earth himself with all the over whelming consciousness of detected guilt ; but it is diffi cult to believe that she could have been much nearer the borders of insanity than upon previous occasions, when she had returned to her home rank with pollution, and compelled to keep up the outward forms of inno cence before her deceived husband. At least, her actions give no outward evidence of distraction. She remained the next day in bed, and wished, as she said, to obtain some medicine from the surgeon. In the evening she walked about, and, having put the chil dren to bed about 9 o'clock, tried to go to sleep on the chair downstairs. One of her little girls kept calling for her mother to come to bed, and during the early part of the night some among the children continued asking her to bring them some barleywater. This went on until about twelve o'clock, when the tragedy began. " Some of the children,"—we copy a few lines out of her confession—" then went to sleep. I could not rest. I had one candle lit on the chair. I could not see, and I went and got another candle, but still could not see." She could, however, see where to lay her hand on, and where to get, the second candle. " There was something like a cloud over my eyes. I thought I would go down, get a knife, and cut my own throat. I could not find my way down. At last I found my husband's keys, and then his razor." It then appears that she straightway went to the bedside of ber little daughter Georgians, and "cut" her, but without look ing at her. She next proceeded to Carry, and " cut" her, and then to Henry. The poor little thing said, "Don't, mother !" She simply answered, " I must," and cut his throat. She then killed her little boy Wil liam in the same way, but he was fast asleep. She was obliged to turn him over that she might execute her purpose. The two remaining children, Harriet and George, were awake, but they seem to have offered no resistance to the murderess. When all was over the fiendish wretch turned the razor against herself, but her hand was not so sure at suicide as at murder. When she came to herself the " nasty great . black cloud was gone !" Such is the account the murderess gives of her own proceedings, and upon this account—the account, namely, of a person who assumes to describe her own feel ings when labouring under a fit of insanity—the verdict of the jury must in good measure be supposed to rest. .But let us pass over this point, an d p resume t h at t h e jury heard this statement as though they had heard it not, and that it counted for nothing in their decision. When we come to seek for other evidence upon which the verdict might have been based, we find that this murderess, in the interval which elapsed between the commission of the crime and her arraignment the other day at Guildford, conducted herself in every respect sanely and rationally—indeed, the artistic manner in which the confession is worded would do credit to a romance writer of the Victor Hugo school. It was cer tainly not the production of a maniac. The medical testimony is the turning point of the case. Dr. Izod, her habitual medical attendant, deposed that after her confinement and l ost ementit September, 185e2r left ,sh side. She she was atckedb paralysis,osttlieuseo of h gradu ally recovered, but he observed symp toms of a disorder e d brain—what these sympt oms were does not a p pear is the report of the trial. He saw her on the Wednesday before the murder, and cautioned her strongly not to excite herself, but did not think it necessary to give e always had about her " an app arent tendency o f her any medicine, as there were no new symptoms. Sh blood to the head." Dr. Forbes W inslow was the g reat me dical authority in the case. He admitted that paralysis may exist without disease in the brain, although in this exist.case During his i nterview with the p risoner in he was inclined to think such disease might the gaol he could observe no symptoms of insanity about her. He had known cases of temporary insanity in which the patient became suddenly under the in flu ence of a strong homicidal impulse, which he sought to gratify even at the expense of persons with whom he had formerly lived on the most affectionate terms. ltl answer to questions from the Court, Dr. Forbes Win-. slow stated that he believed the prisoner's brain had been in a disordered state ever since her attack of para lysis in 1852, and that the fact of her having watched by the sick beds of her children for two nights might have aggravated the pee-existing tendency. The "dark cloud," too, of which the prisoner spoke in her confes sion, was an ordinary accompaniment of the paroxysm in the case of persons attacked with a temporary fit of suicidal and homicidal mania in combination. No won ' der that Mr. Justice Erie, in his charge to the jury, protested against the doctrine that, if it was presumed that a crime had been committed under the influence of an uncontrollable impulse, therefore a prisoner was to be excused on the ground of insanity. Well did the learned judge observe—" Lrudoubtedly every crime is committed under the influence of some impulse,' and the object of the law is to control impulses of that descrip tion, and so prevent crime." If the defence of insanity could be made out in the case of Anne Brough, we know not what murderer can henceforth be brought to justice for his crimes. In ordinary cases it would have been taken that, as there was no substantial evidence of her ; disordered mind to be obtained from the testi mon y 2. re her neighbours, the medical presumptions were intit,. clent to set aside the yet more violent presump tio n wilful murder—the act of a vindictive w oman up on o s n r the discovery of her enormous guilt —Times. THE BARNSTAPLE ELECTION. —Two gentlemen of op posite politics have announced themselves as candidates for the borough—Mr. R. S. Guinness, the well-known porter brewer, who comes forward in the Conservative, and Mr. Tite, the eminent architect, of London, and chairman of the North Devon Railway Company, in the Liberal interest. It is r umoured that another Con servative gentleman will co me forward to contest the g are two candidates for the borough. halready th I.l t . hTs T b i o le r r o e u in e field, Mr. W. H. Watson, both of whom have Dichson and (I addresses to . ..he electors. The former gentleman issued himself " a true Conservative in principle," announces nnaodvocate of " perfect liberty of conscience," but " an auaitriching opponent of Popery, and determined to resist the insidious attempts that are now being made to secure representation u L Erefor:f. for it a position in this country." Mr. Watson is a member of the London bar, and comes forward on Liberal and Reform principles." Major-General Thompson declines to come forward unless freedom frees all expense is guaranteed to him.
