The essential ob;ect of this trea tise is to point out the fearful con sequenc es resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have proaueed more misery in Tooth, degradation in Man toed, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any Other class o re disease known to modern pathologists. Ito perusal is !particularly ommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious hazarded the health, happinesa, staid privileges to which ee r y human being is entitled. ne cessary thatall men should know, that there are It is absolute l y erineiples of personal management which cannot be violated without penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed incurring grievous the heyday of ire ho self-tedulgence, how these removed, may the sting of theinbitterness may be removed, may be mitigated, ar.l how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional eerangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. TbeAuther has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have unfortunately teen too generally confided to the care of ignorant emplries, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in their pretensions.

This was an information of libel, tried in the Court cf Queen's Bench yesterday, before Lord Campbell, against William Harrison, the publisher of the Times newspaper, for having published an article, in which the character s of the Hon. Francis Scott, as chairman of the South-Western Railway, and of his brother directors were aspersed. The defendant pleaded not guilty. The Attorney-General, Mr. Bramwell, and Mr. Bovill appeared in support of the information ; Sir F. Thesiger, Sir F. Kelly, and Mr. Cowling were counselfor the defend dan t. The article complained of appeared in the Times of the 22d of November, 1853 : The shareholders of the South-Western Railway have had the spirit and the prudence to take the management of their affairs into their own hands. By a small nominal ma jority—but, in point of fact, by a very considerable one— they ,have determined that their directors shall not engage them any further in the losing adventure of improvident ex tension. They have seen their dividends decreasing year by year contemporaneously with the extension of their Ine ' and year these facts they have drawn the very obv i o us and very legitimate inference, that to foster branches at the expense of the trunk is a policy which, at least, will not pay.' - The few figures upon which this calculation is founded are so easily got together, that it is difficult to suppose much uncertainty could prevail upon the point. Certainly, if the shareholders could have been brought to see that their own interests were largely concerned in the extension of the lino, that their shares would become 'more valuable, that their dividends would in crease, we know of no principle in human nature which should induce them to fly in the face of S per. cent. as opposed to 2 or 3. The directors were achiressiug themselves to a most will ing audience. They need not have been very right, they uced only have lie , Mtfot vdry wrong, and their arguments would have obtained implicit credence. Let us take such a point as the extension —already executed —of the South-Western line from Southampton to Dorchester. The majority of the shareholders assert that this extension has been a losing concern ; the directors, with their packed minority of bankers, lawyers, engineers, and what not, maintain that it' has returned good interest on the capital invested. Now, we should be very sorry to be in the secrets of either party, but we are bound to say that, if the men who should have received the splendid dividends stand forivard and say not only that they have not received them, but violently pro test against any further continuance of a policy which should have filled their pockets with gold, there appears to be a violent presumption that they are speaking the truth. Thus far for one point—namely, as to the truth of the assertion, that one extension has already answered the views of the company, and therefore another should be tried. We pass to the next assertion of the' chairman and directors, which stands thus :—They assert , that they were empowered by ,a full meeting of the shareholders to conclude this improvident bargain, and to give a pledge to Parlia ment for the formation of the extended line within a given time. The shareholders say that this assent was unfairly and improperly obtained from a packed meeting, and was directly contrary to the wishes of the majority of the share holders. What grounds for belief have the public on either ski() ? We can but see that when the attention of the shareholders is called to the point, they upset the resolution of the board; although that resolution is backed by the enor mous influence which a railway board can at any time com mand. We have surely heard of such a thing as tampering with some votes, and creating others of a fictitious character, .for the purpose of carrying out any scheme 'upon which a body of railway directors may have set their hearts. In the absence of direct evidence, all we know is, that the directors of the South Western assert that their shareholders gave them authority to make a bargain for them, and the share holders come forward and say they did nothing of the sort. It is, of course, competent to the directors to show that the former meeting was a bona fide one by the publication of the voting lists. They might so succeed in proving that their in constant constituents have changed their mind, and should be held to their bargain with Parliament as a terror to the neigh bourhood. But as to this Parliamentary pledge, of which so much has been said, it does not appear to us to be worth the breath with which it was made. If the Hon. F. Scott made it in defiance of the wishes of his constituents, of course the transaction is a mere swindle, and there is an end of it. But, even if this were not so, what reason is there why a company which has given a pledge to Parliament should not have recourse again to Parliament, and ask to be relieved from the consequences of that pledge t We are not meddling with a point of law, but dealing with a great inte rest which involves the welfare and. comfort of many hun dred families. Aro we, then, gravely to be told that, in a case of this kind, no account is to be taken, by men who make some little pretension to statesmanship, of alteration in times and in circumstances. If it should be brought home to the apprehension of the houses, that to persist in en forcing this pledge would simply be to complete the ruin of many hundred individuals who might have been so impru dent as to contemplate a speculation , which they could not carry out, save to their own destruction, can it be supposed that Parliament would insist that that speculation should be carried out at all events. Would there, be anything in the affair from first to last, even assuming it to have been conducted with the most perfect good faith on all sides, which should shut the shareholders out from Parliamentary relief ? Of course; as we have before said, if there was bad faith on the part of the chair man and directors, the whole proceeding hits been a mere swindle, and must necessarily drop through. But it has been said that the Great Western Company are the parties principally damnified. Had it not been for the opposition of the South-Western, Parliament would have granted the ap plication of the Great Western for leave to run their broad gauge over this barren tract of country. If this be true, the utmost amount of loss which. either the Great Western Com pany or the inhabitants of the district can possibly have suf fered, will be the postponement of the construction of the line for some 24 months. As the South-Western has made abnegation of any claim it might have possessed to occupy the country, all that remains is, that the Great Western Com pany, or any persons whom it may concern, should make application• for the necessary Parliamentary permission at once ; or, if they are shut out by formal objections this year, no doubt the district will not perish for want of a railway , during the next twelvemonth. The general meaning of this contest is obvious enough. Here were two great companies contending for possession of a country which cannot as yet pay the expenses of a rail ; but which may, according to the views of the more sanguine among the number, do so at future day. One company bade against the other, promise followed promise, and each side had something more to urge in its own favour m' the other had just uttered. The demon of specula tion was aroused, and the chairman and directors of the South- Western appear to have been infected by the general mania to a higher degree than the rest of their neighbours—we trust it was no worse. Under these' circumstances Parliament granted powers for making the line to the most splendid pro misers, and they in this instance were Mr. Scott and his im mediate fellows. With this _portion of the story, however, the public are concerned but in a secondary degree. Wo c hiefly call attention to the contest, because from it two great advantages would seem to have been gained by the share holders throughout the kingdom. The first is this—the South-Western shareholders have proved to the world that persons in their position can, when they choose, throw off the tutelage of their directors, and insist upon having a voice in their own affairs. The second point is, that this victory of the South -Western shareholders must necessarily administer a death-blow to the system of improvident extensions—in other words, of mulcting the passengers along the main lines of the kingdom for the benefit of the inhabitants of outlying dis tricts in which the public can be but remotely concerned. It is a matier of the gravest public importance that the railway' interest should be kept in a solvent and prosperous condition. I If the shareholders of other lines follow the example of their DECEMBER 23, 1854. brethren of the South-Western, we shill begin to 'believe in the possibility of such a result." The AttorneyaGenerat having staffed the case for the plaintiff, and. Sir F. Thesiger for the ilefendant, , Lord Campbell addressed the jureans follows :—Gentle; men of the jury, after the very able speech which you have heard from the learn e d counsel, E ' Sir E. Thesiger, you will cautiously and. deliberately determina the case, which is a case' of great importance as effecting the liberty of the press; and also of the greatest impel-Lance as far as the 'rotectiun of private character is eobeerned. The infor , nation charges an alleged libel on Fritecis Scott and other lirectore of the SontraWestern Italway Company, and ho defendant merely pleads that ' . is not guilty—not confessing that the article was an i . proper publicatiseia ; nit, on the contrary, s a yi ng he had ot written anything i .vhich imputed dish onour or mie eiduct to the prose :utors. By the law to which refetireee has been made, there is now' an - opportunity to a defendant on an in formation for libel to say, "I knowlah:3.t I have written nothing but what is true." Fora rly in this country there was no such p r i v il ege, an d it was said, "the greater the truth th e greater th lib e l ; " b u t, gen -1 'lemon, I am happy t o say that that • obloquy has been. removed from us, an d th a t now 'idefendent, in a case if libel, has had an opportunity of showing what he had written had been written with a laudable object. In this ecu t t h o rt i t s, t o li f e uaying it is all true. Ile, however, ease an opportunity w a s gran t e d t o t h e d e f en d an t, if it publicati o n h a d imputed dishonour to ,does not do that : he acknowledges thatall the prosecutors ire honourable men,'but h e Says' that nothing had been vvere the allegedrops done by him except in the way of p&ssing fair comment. If, gentlemen, this be your opinion, then for God's sake find a verdict for the defendant. The liberty of the press is of inestimable value, and God forbid that you or I should do'anything to impair it. I have no difficulty in saying that the conduct of railway directors is a fair subject for discussion by a public journalist. They are public func tionaries, and their conduct may b fairly considered, and condemned if deserving of condemnation, but to them or to no public man can misconduct be imputed without proving that Yee charge Is true. The judg ments delivered by e judge n i ay . B e assi „ .l toe b . erroneous, and there is no cause of complaint if there be arguments to show that they are erroneous, but you mast mot say that he took a bribe unless you are pre pared to prove it, and then you may y allege it. Nothing can be more fair than the criterion by which the learned gentleman wishes this articleto be judged—does this article impute private misconduct and dishonour to the prosecu tors, or does it apply to their publi c c h arac t e rs? Bat you must not impute public dishonour, and then say I have not touched upon private character. You must not say a minis ter of state has been guilty of rece i v i n g a bribe from a foreign power, and. then say you imputed nothing reflect ' fug on his private character. It is not competent to a man to impute gross misconduct in a' public capacity, and then without proof justify it on the ground that it was imputed to the person charged, not as a private citizen, but as a minister of state. Gentlemen, you will take the whole article into consideration, and will say if it imputes dishonour-or misconduct to the prosecutors. I give no opinion on the character of the article, bat if the proprietor of a newspaper is at liberty to make impu tations on the character of persons which cannot be sup ported, then the liberty o f th e press, i ns t ea d o f b e i ng a great blessing, would be a curse to the country. When the press breaks out into licentiousness, it is necessary that it should he at once repressed. We may rejoice, for it is an honour to the country, that the press is now conducted with the greeted credit and 'propriety and to the usefulness of the public, but if the columns of a newspaper were to be open to calumnies on individuals, then it would be neces sary for the law to interpose. It was unnecessary that any of the directors' should have been called into the box as witnesses, but in the most manly manner they had pre sented themselves, and had given ample Opportunity for examination into any improper conduct that might be al leged against them. If, ;tsritlenien, yon find thatthisarticle was only a fair comment on the public conduct of the di rectors, then by all means find a verdict for the defendant, but if you find that it imputes that which is unbecoming to their conduct. as directors and to their conduct as gen tlemen, then you will find to that effect., You will con sider the article -as a whole, but there are some passages to which, if I did not refer, I should not be doing justice. The article says, "W e have surely heard of such a thing as tampering with some votes, and creating others of a fictitious character, for the purpose of carrying out any scheme on which a body of directors have set their hearts." It is said on behalf of the defendant that the prosecutors were not aimed at in this sentence; but in a case of slander or libel it is not necessary to show that these is a direct imputation —to show it was alleged that Mr. Smith murdered Mr. Johnson; but that the article is of such a nature that when read by persons it can be applied to those against whom it is aimed. If you think this does not apply to these directors, then, for the purposes of this day, the sentence is harmless; but if you think it does, then you say, is it not a very grave charge? Then the article goes on, " It is of course competent to the direc tors to show that the former meeting was a bons fide one by the publication of the voting list's," but you must not say that a man has coinmittol a felony, but he may bring forward evidence to prove his innocence. I think it is not creditable to insinuate without proof that a per -on is guilty of an offence, and then qty he may proceed to prove his innocence. Then it goe - On 'to say "if the Hon. F. Scott made it," meaning the pledge, " in defiance of the wishes of his constituents, of *lac the transaction is a mere swindle, and there is an end ' e it."' You will say if this sentence (lees mot lead to the liqf that he did do it in defiance of the Iri s p es orbta- Client:4, and thou that being so that the _ transaction NVILB A " mere swindle." Does the liberty of the press require such language as that? The learned counsel said he kneW of no such term as a swindle, but it was a term of great opprobrium, and to apply to a man the term swindler must wound his feeling! anal injure his character. If the transaction was a swindle then ho who took pertain. it waa.a swindler. Who then was the swindler? No doubt the "Demon of Specula tion" does a great deal of mischief, but it is for you to say whether by the phrase in this article it was in tended to imply that these directors privately had a speculation which was to be served by the course pur sued. "The Demon of Speculation was amused, and the chairman and directors of the South-Western appear to have been infected by . the general mania to a higher degree than the rest of alicianeighbours"—and here follow words which, gentlemen, I implore you to mark as show ing in my opinion the animus of the writer—" We trust it was no worse." These words of seeming candour appear to me to contain a sting, showing the animus of the writer of this artic:e. Did it not imply that he who could express so candid a statement knew what he said, and that it could be strictly relied upon ? If the directors had entered into a combination for packing meetings and creating fic titious votes to attain objects of their own, then they could be indicted for conspiracy, and would be liable, if con victed, to be imprisoned. It will be for you to say whether all these charges have been made, and, if made, are they unfounded ; but for myself I will say that I do think that if such publications as these are repressed, that the liberty of the press cannot in the slightest degree be im perilled. The jury immediately returned a verdict of " Guilty." The defend an t was not oalled up for judgment. RAILWAY TRAFFIC' RETURNS. TRAFFIC RETURNS FOR VIE PAST WEEK.
