Sze.. &C. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesilbs, which have proanced 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 perusal is 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 r these egret penal succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how ties ir ay be mitigated, bow the sting of their bitterness may be removed, end how the evil and its consequences maybe 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. TheA uther has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive 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 induced to place faith in their pretensions.

THE YEAR 1855 bids fair to be one of the most important and eventful of modern history. on the 6th of January, 1855, will be issued the first number of a new volume of the ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, and not merely a new volume, but of a New Year—each volume being perfect and complete in itself— coataining.:for the time, a faithful record, pictorial and descriptive, of all Events of interest in every part of the world. To that limited portion of the public who do not subscri , e to this Journal, it may be stated that no period could be selected more opportune for com mencing—tilt, whole expense being but Twenty-six Shilliags per an num, exclusive of double riumbers, which are issued on rare occa sions, when it would be impossible to crowd the important events arid Engravings into a single number; for this sudaU sum the sub scriber will receive twenty-four large pages—seventy . two columns — of the most interesting information ,enzefully seleetellfrom the News of the Week, intersperse d with a variety of charming articles on the' { chief topics of the day, The ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS has, by its impartial and con sistent advocacy ot the welfare of the public, secured for itself a poli tical influence scarcely second to any newspaper In the empire; and reference can, with some pride, be made to the support afforded to all beneficial measures proposed and adopted by the English Parlia ment. Foreign Politics will ever cqmmand the attention which ought to be devoted to so Important a feature of a newspaper. On the ques tion of the Russian War, durin- - the year i 854, ONE TLIOUSLND ENGRA.VINtIS appeared in the ILLusrearen LONDON NEWS. Ex tensive arrangements, calculated to improve this popular Journal, and engagements, such as w it greatly enrich its Literary, Scientific, mid other departments, have been made, and will thus combine on this Paper the greatest talent of the day. The ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS has been established thirteen years, during which period it has received a - greater degree of en couragement and approbation than any Journal ever published. This is proved by the Returns of Stamps issued from time to time by order of Parliament. The Stamps applied for the first six months of 1854 %vas upwards of 2,734,000 —showing a WEEKLY CIRCULATION or UPWARDS of ONE HUNDRED and THIRTY THOUSAND COPIES!

This is the first time, he informs as, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi cal reader.

" The tribe of Quiet Sympathisers,' and Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed: and if this book could find its way into the hands of those who suffer from the com plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would be saved much needless suffering of body and mini, and what is of less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize— much money...... This volume is well qualified to put an end to the empirical system of treating Spermatorrhma, and to placs the treat ment upon a more rational and physiological basis.

The following letter has been addressed by M. Kossuth to the editor of The Times :- "Sir,—ln your columns of to-day two of your corres pondents come forward to comment on and to oppose the opinions I expressed in my speech at the Polish anniversary. "I have not the intention to enter into polemics in corroboration of my own views. I advanced opinions which, upon mature reflection, I, in conscience, took and take it to be just, correct, and well-f minded, and leave it to public opinion to weigh my arguments and the arguments of my opponents, and then to jadge as they think to be right. " All I desire is to rectify an historical fact, the mis representation of which is calculated unjustly to injure the honour of my nation. "Your Anglo-Parisian' correspondent ventures on the reproach that the Hungarian nation did not assist the Poles in 1830, but remained a quiescent spectator of their heroic struggle. "That is utterly false. Quite the reverse is the fact. The behaviour of the Hungarian nation in that emer gency fills a bright page in our history, and' well deserves the appreciation of all just men. _. • . . , • • " Hungary had been at that time undisturbed in , her tranquillity, and unshaken by heartrevolting Royal per jury in her royal allegiance to the house of Austria. She 'was, in a word, not in a revolutionary condition, like as she is now, and will continue to be as long as she is not delivered of the Hapsburgs, who are no more the rulers of Hungary by law,, or.by a national compact, re-con firmed by a coronation oath, but simply by the right of Russian bayonets. Then the Hapsburgs were our legi timate Kings, often violating our laws, but still reigning under the prestige of legitimacy. We had painful griev ances ; still we had a national existence ; had our con stitution, had the' invaluable institutions of our country assemblies and municipalities, and had also our Parlia ment, all in full operation, to protect our national exist ence and to redress our grievances. There was no im- Her .ajesty's ship Monarch has gone round to De. vonport to embark troops for the Crimea. The Leopard, 18, paddle, Capt. Gifford, hauled out in to the stream at Portsmouth yesterday, to complete for foreign service. She is expected to leave this day (Satur day)Th. e Hecla, 6, paddle, has hauled off to her berthing hulk, Dryad,' at Portsmouth,'and is completing for sea as fast as possible. Our own impression is that she does not go further than Gibraltar, until the vessels necessary for the reinforcements to the Crimea shall have passed through the Gut. The Salamander, 6, paddle, has been brdught down from Portsmouth harbour to be docked, and ascertain her capabilities for service. The Sealark, 8, went into Portsmouth harbour yes terday from her usual weekly Channel cruise. Yesterday the Dinapore transport, No. 144, left the Downs, laden with stores, for the Crimea. The Baalbec steamer, with stores and a ship letter mail, sailed on Thursday front Liverpool, for Constan tinople. perious necessity for, therefore no adequate cause to justify, a revolutionary rising; consequently neither an occasion nor a possibility for a revolution. A revolution ig never possible except when it is an absolute necessity. "Such has been the condition of Hungary, then ; and between us and that Poland (Russian Poland) which rose in 1830 there was Gallicia, which was unable to take part in the Polish insurrection, guarded as Gallicia was by a numerous Austrian army, and the house of Aus tria, then our legitimate sovereign, yet with whom we were at peace,. had its armies drawn up on the frontieri of Gallicia and Poland in the attitude of armed neutrality. "Now, in such a position and under such circum stances, what was it the Hungarian nation did in regard to Poland ? "The first news about the rising at Warsaw shook the Hungarian nation like an electric shock. Innumerable committees were instantly formed all over the land,—not for expressing verbal sympathy, but for affording every possible assistance to the Polish patriots. Every warlike implement that could have been hunted up in the kingdom, and clothing, and provisions, wine, brandy, medicaments, surgery apparatus, money, col lected all over the land ;—we reeked prosecution and braved the resentment of our Government, and did with the utmost energy for the Polish patriots all your nation is just ding for your own braves. Tne ladies of Hungary were day and night at work to make charpie (:int, I believe, is the word for it) ; the palaces of the rich and the huts of the poor hal been converted into store houses filled with materials in aid of struggling Poland, and large convoys were seen day and night winding up the roads in the Carpathian Mountains, in defiance of Austrian police, Austrian military cordons, and Aus trian vigilance. Nay, more, hundreds and hundreds of the noble-hearted youth of Hungary, braving the danger oF being' captured and shot in crossing the double mili tary cordon on both the, frontiers (several have been actually captured and shot), left their homes and their fortunes and went to join the ranks of the struggling Polish patriots. Our comitats (counties), the assemblies of which have not to be confounded with your public meeting, they having been the most effective and the most essential official organs of the nation's constitutional rights—our comitats, I say, 52 as they were in number, almost without exception were at once assembled extra ordinarily, and forwarded the expression of the national will in representations to the Emperor-King, urging on him to declare in favour of Poland, to give up Gallicia (which the Hapsburgs pretended to hold by right inherent to the kingly crown of Hungary), and to redress the in justice of Poland's partition by assisting the restoration of the independence of the Polish nation ; and, in order to show.the earnestness of Hungary in this determina tion, the comitats assured the King solemnly and officialy that the nation stood prepared to undergo whatever sacrifices to assist him in that noble task, and informed him that the representatives of the nation in Parliament shall be instructed net to shrink from granting every supply in men and money which may be required for enabling the King to carry the aim of restoring Poland. The Hungarian Parliament soon afterwards met, and took up the clue of the provincial manifestations ; the halls of our National Assembly resounded with the noblest and boldest declarations of the national determi nation to undergo even the risk of a bloody and sumptuous war in support of Poland ; the House of Representatives framed representations to the Sovereign according'y, and up to 1848 not once had the Hungarian Parliament met without persistently resuming its efforts in favour of Poland. " And when Poland succumbed, when the Govern ment we were subject to issued orders for not admitting the Polish refugees to cross the frontiers of Hungary, we smuggled tkem, at the risk of our lives, to our homes ; we gave them not much of thundering cheers (that's not io our national character, being rather a silent people), but we took them to our firesides, placed them at our right, and held them as members of our own family for years and yearg, without even asking for their names or inquiring whether they were aristocrats or democrats. " That is, sir, what Hungary did ; and then up starts in your paper an anonymous pen, perverting truth, fal sifying history, and insulting a noble, generous, unfortu nate nation, by saying that Hungary remained a quies cent spectator of the heroic struggle of Poland " In regard to myself, I never asked your favour or even appealed to your sense of justice, nor ever will ; but, when I see an attempt made to insult the honour of my nation, I hope to be justified in the esti mation of all good men for requesting you to give room to this rectification of facts, which I give, not from tra ditional reports, but from personal experience. "With this I will leave your readers to judge whether, with these facts for antecedents,—whether now, after the Hapsburgs have torn to pieces the national compact between themselves act! Hungary ; after they have driven Hungary to a revolution, too much envenomed by treachery, perjury, murder, blood, and the gallows to allow of any reconciliation for all eternity—a revolution only suspended de facto by Russian bayonets, but not subdued—after we have seen the armies of the Czar come down upon us to crush our national existence, with no pretext at all to excuse that font encroach ment on the laws of nations, with not even 'so much of a pretext as he is putting forth for his aggression on Turkey—l leave it to your readers to judge whether I was justified in saying that Hungary will stand by reviving Poland, because our enemies are the same and our cause is identical.' "One more tribute to truth, if you pease. Your correspondent is t - ,ruilty of a deliberate anachronism in tauntin g me that I would advise to attack, with 12.000 Frdnch, Poland, garrisoned by 300,000 Ru.- plans. The fact is that Poland is now garrisoned by 300,000 men precisely because six months ago it has rot been attacked by landing a Polish expedition, backed by the 12,000 French who made the prOMtl• nade to the Baltic. Poland had then not a garrison of 300,000 men, hut some 60.000 only, chiefly raw recruits and invalids, which force could not have been much increased at that time, with St. Peters durg and Finland in danger from your Baltic fleet, and from the possibility of Sweden joining you upon the condition of Poland being called to arms, and on the other hand, with the Russian army on the Danube beaten, and the Anglo-French-Turkish force '220,000 strong, pushing up Bessarabia after the beaten Russians. Now there are 300,000 men in Poland ; but that is an argument in favour of my views as expressed first at Sheffield, 'rune the sth, and last at St. Martin's-hall. That is precisely the fact which justifies my saying that Poland will be your Sybilline books ; that three of them are already lost ; and that you will be brought to pay for the last three the full price at which you could have purchased all the nine some months ago.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your humble servant, L.

DREADFUL MURDER IN TOTTRNIIAM-00IIRT-110AD.— Between the hours of eight and nine o'clock last e vening a Mr. Moore, ginger-beer manufacturer, Warren-street, Tottenham-court-road, was shot (lead, and Mr. Collard, sore@ time since a policeman of the E division, was mor tally wounded by a man whose dress is respectable, but who refuses to give his name. and is at present unknown.

As far as the reporter could ascertain at the police-station and at the University Hospital, where Collard now lies after having had a ball extracted from his body, the murderer appears to be about thirty years of age, of about five feet six inches in height, of a swarthy complexion, and seemingly a Frenchman. He refuses to answer any questions put to him. On his person at the time of hi s arrest were found a e of pistols . Mr. and twen ty rounds of ball cartridge. Superintendent Faxall, after receiving information from Mr . to see Mr. Inspector Clements, proceeded to the University w dying.

To complete the series of documents upon the Eastern question, we. give below a translation of the Prussian, Note of the 15th November, the last of the many exchanged between the Cabinets of Vienna and Berlin before the adoption by both Powers of the additional article to the treaty of 20th April. Immediately on receipt of this de spatch Count d'Arnim, the Prussian representative at Vienna, signed the said additional' article with Count Buol, 'the Ausirian Minister of Foreign Affairs : " NOTE PROM BARON DE MANTEUFFEL TO COUNT D'ARNIM. " Berlin, Nov. 15. " Thanks to the kindness of Count de Buol, your Excellency is already acquainted with the reply of the Imperial Cabinet to our overtures of the 30th of last month. Count Esterhazy has since communicated to me the despatches addressed to him on the sth instant, of which I annex a copy to complete the archives of the royal mission; " We felt great satisfaction in finding that the Austrian Cabinet appreciated the sincere desire of an entente which directed our propositions of the 30th October. Oar satisfaction in this respect was the greater, as in the ensemble of the impression which the observations made in reply by the Austrian Cabinet produeed upon us, we fund the desired and hoped-for conviction that the two high Courts are sufficiently agreed upon the means, and upon the object of their common position as reg'ards the great questions ii connection"with the Eastern question, to make shortly and equally in common ulterior propo sitions to their other allies at the Federal Assembly. " Animated by the desire that this may take place within the shortest possible delay, we have examined, in the most scrupulous manner, the reasons which in a gene ratorspecial.manner, Austriaha.4thought fit in its point of view, to oppose to the eventual federal resolution previously formulated by us, In acting thus we have taken the largest account of the considerations resulting for Aus tria from her European position, and from the obligations resulting therefrom. "We - think we may paes over the special reasons in silence. I must, however; is a general manner, point out, as resting on a misunderstanding, the supposition that it was our wish to declare thefour points exclusively and under all circumstances, obligatory for us and for our allies, and, consequently, to bind Austria within this circle. "Art. 3 anticipated in a general manner the case in which new demands might be put in the interest of the union of the Central States of Europe, and only stipulated for this case a preliminary resolution taken in common. We maintain that Austria, by declaring herself willing to accept this stipulation under the form of a resolution of the Diet, would only be acting in the spirit of the treaty of the 20th April. " However, and as we have observed above, we ap preciate the objections raised by the Court of Vienna, and we have endeavoured, as far as the maintenance of our own conviction would allow us, to put aside from the new project annexed to this, and of which his Majesty the King approves entirely, anything which might be in contradiction with the Austrian interpretation ; to intro duce, on the contrary, nearly word for weld the three points such as Austria formulates them herself in the draft of instructions for the Imperiatenvoy to the Diet —a draftof which has been communicated to us—in such manner that we think we may confidently count upon.it that Baron Prekesch will be authorised to pronounce himself in the committee in favour of the adoption of the project. Majesty'the King in deigning, as I have already observed, to approve of such a dtcision by the Diet, is, nevertheless, penetrated with the conviction that to avoid discussions and dissentient votes, it can only be adopted when it shall have been preceded by the conclusion of an additional article to formulate the obligation of the pro tection to be accorded to Austria in the Principalities, obligations which the Austrian Cabinet itself allows to go beyond the primitive principle of the treaty of the 20th April. His Majesty has also ordained that in draw in, up this additional article everything shou ld be avoided of . a nature to retard an entente. To this dominant con sideration is due the annexed project, also approved of by his Majesty, and which your Excellency will commu nicate to Count Buol, with the observation that; if it is• approved of by his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, your Excellency is authorised to sign it without loss of time, with Count Buol. If at Vienna they should pre fer that it should be signed here, Prince Esterhazy might easily be authorised, by a telegraphic despatch, to sign it with me. The formalities relative to the full powers might be completed afterwards. " Nevertheless, if the signing the additional article takes place, it ought to be immediately communicated as well to our German allies as to our representatives at Frankfort; and its unanimous adoption not only would not cause any new delay, but would considerably sim plify the labours of the committee appointed thereon, as the latter would only have to formulate its propositions by referring to the additional article, and those proposi tion, if based upon a project agreed upon between Prussia and Austria, might certainly count upon unanimous adoption, as well by the committee as by the Federal Assembly itself. " Your Excellency will communicate the present de spatch and documents annexed without delay Ito the Im perial Cabinet. His Majesty the King is very anxious that this important affair, relative to which his Majesty is mclved by the most profound solicitude for the Prussian and German interests, as also for the general interests of Europe, should attain a prompt solution in the sense indicated above ; and in this he counts confidently upon the active and decisive concurrence of his august ally, his Majessy the Emperor of Austria. I await, with the greatest interest, the reports of your Excellency upon the result of these measures. "I am; &c., (Signed) "DE MANTEUFFICL." STATE OF TRADE. NOTTINGHAM, Dec. B.—The usual anticipations in the lace trade lead us to expect the transaction of a fair busi ness at this season, with an additional stimulus towards the end of January. But the current seasou exhibits a total and almost unaccountable cessation of business. Half time has in many instances been introduced, and quarter time is spoken of. Materials, however, continue firm, fot although wrought silks may be procurable at old rates, raw materials are only negotiable at the ad vance—it being known that the arrivals for the next four months will only average 2,000 tons a month, whereas the deliveries for the last ten months have been at the rate of 4,000. Thus if only 3,000 tons a month should be demanded for consumption, the inroad upon stocks would be very considerable. In hosiery there is no alteration and no improvement to report. The continued accounts from Australia sug gest doubts of the stability of many of the colonial firms unless they can be assisted over their difficulties ; and there are this morning rumours of two very considerable failures of wholesale houses in London which have ex ercised a further depressing influence on trade.—Notting hamshire Guardian. LEICESTER, Dec. 7.----Busitess continues active in the departments preparing goods for the East, and produces a beneficial influence in other branches by engaging surplus labour, which otherwise would be unoccupied s.t this season of the year. Prices of wool and yarn remain firm. BRADFORD, Dec. 7.—Wool—There have been more lookers during the week, but the business doing is very limited, and prices without change in bright-haired wools. Other kinds continue in favour of the buyer. I Noils and brokes are sought after, and with only a small quantity making. Yarns—There is somewhat more confidence in the yarn trade, arising from the very di minished production and the unwillingness of spinners to produce yarns at the present prices. All seem satisfied that yarns have seen the lowest paint, and any change must be upward to induce the machinery now idle to be put in motion. Pieces—The business doing is limited, and may be expected to continue so till the turn of the year. The stocks of finished goods held by the mer chants is much less than has been for many years at this• period, and of grey or undyed stock they had none ; whereas they have in previous seasons bought largely for the spring. All is yet to do, and the stocks held by the manufacturers are unusually light, and but few making ; and, with more than forty less spinners and manufacturers than at the close of the year, it is reason able to expect a return of activity.—Bradford Observer. LEEDS, Dec. s.—We have no improvement to report of the state of the woollen trade. Both on Saturday and to-day the business done at the cloth halls was to a very trifling amount ; very little has also been done out of the market. Prices rule steady, and the stocks mo derate, but in the present state of the demand the manu facturers are lessening the production, and, in conse quence, the mills are becoming less actively employed. Business has been dull in the warehouses since this day week, and, in the absence of the usual demand for ship. ping, little is expected by way of improvement for some time. HUDDERSFIELD, Dec. s.—ln some departments of the market there has been a trifle more doing, but generaly there have been no sales of moment. No one seems in clined to speculate, and job lots appear almost a drug. The yarn spinners, who have usually been busy at this period, are, like the rest, very fiat. THE INVESTIGATION All LAMBETH WORKHOUSE.— Yesterday Messrs. Austen and Cave met again in the Board-room of Lambeth Workhouse, for the purpose of hearing the defence of the officials affected by the evidence taken en the previous occasions. The whole of the sitting was occupied with the examination on oath of Mr. Joseph Piercy, the master, who at great length entered into the vario us charges brought against himself, denying some, and offering explanations Os others.

With respect to the man who lay in bed so long because he ed had no clothe., he (the master) o r dered them to be suppli directly he heard of it, and severely censured Hyde for not having provided them long before.
