The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con• ienuences resulting from certai.i habits, irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man `mod, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modem pathologists. Ha perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of haying, hazarded the health happiness, and privileges to which every human being is • entitled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know, that there are principles of personal manwerriera which cannot be violated without recurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succoryt :he heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties nay be mitigated, how the sting of their bitter aess may be remove', mut how the evil and its con,egnences may be avoided, and above all, ;hat there is imAreely any degree 01 physical infirmity or functional crangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. ri t e Author has for a series of years been engaged irr an extensive actice in the treatment of these delicate colaint s, which are dnunfortunatelyteen too generally confided to the care o! ignorant empir ics who inflict great injury on those wha ere induced to place may be had, price 2s, of Messrs.

On one point we agree with a remark of Lord Clam- Garde. When the duties of the Secretary of State for War were dividad from those of he Colonial-office, the head of the Government had it i his power to give the country a pledge of the sincerity ind energy of his own policy by imparting the - utmost efficiency to that arrange ment„ and by placing at the _head,of the War Ministry the statesman whom the country believes to be most able to conduct it. For the Credit of the Cabinet, as well as for the advantage of the public service, we deeply regret that this course !KAI not taken ; for, as we have re peatedl observed, it is by superiority of military admi nistration that success in this war can most speedily be secured. Lord Aberdeen assures us that he has been at least as zealous as any of his colleagues is promoting the necessary. preparations, and in urging the advance of the allied armies to unite with Omer Pasha, to.relieve Sills tria, and to -- repel an enemy who, as it now turns out, has alre;dy rail-, d from the scene of action. But what ever his personi4 exertions may have been in this "hard necessity," he cannot be ignorant of the fact that the name and presence of another statesman in the War Department would have inspired' greater confidence at home, and greater apprehension in.our enemies. .That fact alone ought to have determined the choice of the member of the Government most conipetent and efficient for the conduct of the war. As to ulterior measures, Lord Aberdeen well stated that it was utterly impossible for any man living to declare beforehand on• what terms peace should be ne- . gotiated. One thing alone 'is certain, —that the only • way to obtain a sure and honourable peace is to acquire a position which may command it; and to gain such a position every nerve and sinew of the empire should be strained. The pickpocket who robs us is not to be let off 'because he, offers to restore' our purse ; and the plunderer of provinces, the 'disturber of the peace of nations, the squanderer of the life and. treasure of half the civilised world, must pay a somewhat heavier penalty than the restitution of his unjust spoils before the Nemesis which he has provoked can be appeased. - . " (From the Morning Chronicle.) Lord 'Aberdeen's speech of last night will remove much uneasiness at home, and many misapprehensions abroad. The value of his statement would have been materially diminished if he had retracted or disavowed any of the language which he held a week ago; for it might have been argued that unpremeditated phrases were probably as sincere as a more deliberate manifesto; and the complaints; just or unjult, called forth by his former speech, would have been tilought a sufficient ex planation of a more palatable declaration of opinion. But the Prime Minister is not a man to retract. He may have been charged with an imprudent dis regard' of popular judgment, but he has never been accused 'of a servile disposition to truckle to any ma jori y. It is because the sentiments avowed last night are consistent with those which, not without the fault of the speaker, had occasioned so much anxiety within the last few days, that the country will place full con fidence in the good faith with which Lord Aberdeen— while appealing to his colleagues to testify to the zeal with which he has uniformly urged forward the rreparations for the war—aonounces his determination to carry on hostilities with vigour, No speaker or writer has dealt more clearly or more vigorously than Lord Aberle'en, in his speech of last _night, with the question of restoring the status quo ante. Austria and Prussia, he says, who are still at peace with Russia, may, if they think fit, consent to abstain from hostilities on the condition of the evacuation of the Principalities. • All Europe, indeed, and even the Porte itself, would, up to the very eve of the war, have con sented to the same solution of the quarrel. "We thought that it was quite as much as the Emperor of Russia could expect us to offer, and much more than he bad any right to expect. But, my lords, we proposed it in the hove that we should be able t o p r e serve the state of peaCe.' But the Prime Minister distinctly states that, with the declaration of war, the status quo ante was ipso facto at an end. "The instant war was declared, the state of the question was entirely altered. From that moment everything depended upon the war itself, and we are left free to exercise our own judgment—to do that which we think will best suit our own interests and policy in framing the terms of peace." Too little atten tion was, perhaps, given to the remark which his lordship made in:his former speech, that a peace concluded with the Russians at Constantinople would differ widely from that which might be enforced by an allied army occupy ing St. Petersburg. Lord Aberdeen sees that both the time and the nature of the treaty to be made hereafter must be determined by the events of the war ; and it is for this reason thit, as we have already seen, he has been foremost in urging the immediate advance of the auxiliary armies to join the gallant force commanded by Omer Pacha. The knowledge that the most devoted adherent of peace is the strenuous advocate of active hostilities, will tend greatly to stre ngthen . the confi dence of the country in the Government. The Ministerial declaration of last night lays down with perfect precision the position of all the European Powers. Austria and Prussia are at liberty, if they think fit, to accept the reported evacuation of the Principalities as an inducement to prolong their neu trality, and, if possible, to negotiate a peace. England and France are, on the othershand, equally free to put forward and to enforce theirown more stringent demands. The Russian fiction, that a project of Prince Metternich's had already been received with approbation in England, is proved to be a deliberate falsehood. - The only coma' munication which Lord Aberdeen has had with the ex- Chancellor of the. Empire since his own accession to office, was stated - to the House of Lords with humorous candour and solemnity. A lady told the Premier that she was writing to the Prince, and asked if his lordship had any message to send. The reply was,l" Pray, pre sent to your correspondent my very best remembrances,' The much-talked•of despatch on the Treaty of Adria nople will be read with historical interest, rather than with any immediate anxiety. 'Lord Aberdeen admits that he bad underrated the power and resources of Turkey, and that we have 'now had proof of the vigour, of the energy, and of the courage and perseverance with which the troops of that empire have maintained the integrity and independence of their country. But it certainly does not appear that he believed in the moderation of Russia ; and he unhesitatingly charac terizes the treaty in question as "unfortunate," "disas trous," and "in the highest degree dangerous and pre judicial to the interests of Europe." ThiS is not the time for raking up the reasons which deterred the Duke of Wellington and his colleagues from joining in that armed resistance to the invasion of Turkey which was proposed by Prince Metternich. The attitude of the French Court may have had something to do with a backwardness which has never, perhaps, been sufficiently explained ; and, at all events, Lord Clatiricarde is ab surdly wrong in attributing to Charles X. and Prince Polignac that cordial understanding between France and England which Lord Aberdeen established, at a later period, with the Parliamentary Monarchy of Louis Philippe. The Bourbons were, on the very eve of their fall, intriguing with the Czar against this country, and the Duke of Wellington may have thought that a Russo-French alliance would be precipitated by our armed interference in Turkey. The affairs of the pre sent day are, however, far more interesting than these historical speculations ; and the most important state ment relative to the Treaty of Adrianople is the Prime MiniSter's assurance that the British Government will not sanction its renewal. . great a part in all French social novels. He has passed a long life under misinterpretation. He has been be lieved—wrongfully believed, if we are to believe him, to have been, and to be, the advocate of the supremacy of the Austrian and Russian Powers in the European system, especially as compared with that of Fiance and England. He has been understood to say that, as re gards Europe, he cannot ersnceive there is anything to to be apprehended from Russian aggression ; that 25 years of peace was purchased not amiss by the concession of the Treaty of Adrianople ; that in the framing of that treaty Russia exhibited an extraordinary forbearance and generosity which entitles her especially to confidence now ; that he has always Strong hopes of peace on some terms, but what those terms are to be, or what is the precise object for the attainment of which we are at war, nobody on earth, not even Lord Aberdeen, can tell. This is altogether a mistake, and these suppositions entirely erroneous. We have for it the authority of Lord Aberdeen, against whom, as himself assures us, there are conspiracies as bitter and ill-intentioned as they are ludicrous. At the same time it can scarcely be expected that we should be content to accept the profession of faith of a proclaimed proselyte without some examination. To what, then, does the new Aberdonian creed amount I Lord Aberdeen believes that the policy of Russia has undergone a complete change since the time of the Em press Catharine. He believes that she no longer seeks territorial aggrandisement, but has regard the rather to augmentation of political influence in European Courts. He believes that there is no danger to Europe from Russian aggression, because he believes that Russia has no purely territorial design upon Turkey. He believes that it is impossible for himself or any man to say what shall be the basis of the peace which we are warring to obtain ; and therefore it is no less impossible than im politic for the Crown or its Prime Minister to declare what are the objects with which we have levied armies, despatched navies, borrowed monies, and doubled taxa tion. Still, says the noble earl, "I am for carrying on the war, now that we are in it, with the utmost vigour till we get something, I won't commit myself by saying exactly what, begging only the nation never to forget that we are engaged in a war strictly and exclusively defensive, and that, therefore, we ought to refrain, as much as possible, from aggressive movements." We leave it to any man of common sonse, even though he should never have read the treaties of Adrianople or Unkior Skelessi, or even the secret correspondence, whether a statesman with such a political faith is a de sirable or safe Premier for England at such a crisis as the present. We believe that, although the mode of its development may undergo some modification, the policy of Russia is the same as it was in the time of the Em press Catharine. (Front the Daily Ni'ws.) Last night was presented in the House of Lords the edifying spectacle of Lord Aberdeen eatin! , a leek. The magnanimous Gordon is ready to do anything to retain office ; he will eat his own words ; he will rant like Ta merlane, in the old tragedy. Or rather he will rant like another leek-eating hero—Ancient Pistol—who, when Sir John Falstaff told him he would be quiet, and begged the Ancient to quit the room, vowed to his fellow Bar dolph he could murder Doll Tearsheet's ruff. Dr. Johnson calls the last chapter of his "Rasselas " " the conclusion, in which nothing is concluded." Lord Aber deen's speech last night may be called, " the explana tion, in which nothing is explained." Lord Aberdeen is the recognised Prime Minister, though at the head of a coalition Cabinet ; he will not pretend that his Whig allies have been More lukewarm in the cause of Turkey than his own partisans ; or if they were, lie has stuffed two of his own retainers into the Nar Department, placed another at the head of the Admiralty, and entrusted the keeping of the national purse to another. Thus firmly seated, could lie do nothing but "exhort" ?—only beg and pray his colleagues and generals to have the goodness to be as active as pos sible ? If he had really been in earnest, he would have commanded instead of merely exhorting. But that he has not done so is clear from the fact that so much of the summer has elapsed, and not one of the western troops has crossed weapons with the enemy north of the Balkan. The Turks have compelled the Russians to abandon the siege of Silistria—as they formerly drove them back from Kalafat—before one man of the allied troops has come up to their aid. With this fact staring us in the face, for Lord Aberdeen to vapour and boast about his urgency to have the allied troops close up on the north of the Balkan, is mere empty rhodomontade. He is speaking big in the House of Lords to keep his place ; but he has not acted with the energy and promptitude that were required to lend Turkey efficient aid. This is the real question—Has Lord Aberdeen pushed on the war with due energy 1 or have we anything be yond equivocal words to warrant a hope that he will now push it on with energy and a satisfactory conclusion 1 The symptoms of a predetermination in certain quar ters, under pretence of assisting Turkey, to hold its arms and prevent it from hitting the Czar too hard, are be coming more alarming. The Russians have been com pelled, by unaided Turkish valour, to retreat from before Silistria ; and immediately the Russian organ in the English press publishes a statement that the Czar has consented to " evacuate the Danubian Provinces" out of pure deference to Austria. After so flattering a compliment, Austria cannot deal severely with its po lite northern neighbour : and Austria, we are told, is about to occupy the Danubian Provinces . To what end ? The lands which the Sultan's army has rescued for him from the grasp of the invader, the Sultan's army can hold for their master without Austrian aid. If Austria advances into the Principalities when the Rus sians quit them, it can only be to place its soldiery be ' ween the Turks and Russians in order to shield the )eaten party."

Distance from Hammersmith to Putney. ( From the Morning Post. ) Lord Aberdeen's recantation removes nothing, and amends very little, of what he said a week before. It is calculated to increase the public impression of his perso nal weakness, without Bimini-hint the want of confidence in the Ministry created by the fact of the highest post in it being filled by the feeblest politician in Europe. The points in the Prernier's reply to Lord Lyndhurst, which excited such resentment, such mortification, and, it must be said, such disgust, were those which indicated the actual state of his opinions on the duties and prod pects of the country in the present issue of war, and not any inferences or speculations as to his share or respon sibility in training the Treaty of Adrianople. It was by the tone and the evident animus of that most unhappy speech still more than by its extraordinary statements, that so much misgiving was raised. We say misgiving, in preference to using Lord Aberdeen's own term of mis apprehension, because we now less than ever cap see any reason to believe that there was, properly speaking, any misapprehension in the matter. It is clear from the ex planation as well as from the original statement—from the gloss as well as from the text—that Lord Aberdeen did say on Monday week precisely what he was reported IMPORTATION OF CHEESE.—On Monday a return to to have said, and from all that we now gather of his the House of Commons was published (procured by Sir views on foreign policy, we are persuaded that he meant Philip E g erton), showing that in the year ended f cheese tions.of which the Premier complains to his declarations was 396, L4O3ATE cwt. 3 qrs.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. We regret to learn that Admiral Sir William Parker, Bart., G. 0.8., the commander in chief at Devonport, has been very unwell since Friday last. Advices were received yesterday, under date " Elsi nore, June 21," that four more Russian ships, taken by her Majesty's cruisers, had passed for the port of Lon don in charge of prize crews —namely, the - Una, Brown master, the Norman, Dahl master, the Francisca, Mukelsen master, and the Stun Bille schooner. The Russian bark cut out from Eckness by the Arro gant and Hecla arrived at Sheerness on Sunday last, in charge of Mr. Arthur L. Galbrieth, mate of the Arro gant, and her prize crew. She was built at New KarlebY , in the Gulf of Bothnia, in 1848 : is laden with salt, an d is reported to be the Augusta, of New Karleby ; she carries about 800 tons of cargo at present, and was stripped of her stores and abandoned by her crew. By command of the High Court of Admiralty, the sale of the Russian prize ships is appointed to commence at Lloyd's on Friday, the 7th of July. The Humber Dock officers of Customs have seized a Russian bark called the Odessa. She was provided with papers to make her appear a Tuscan vessel, but the officers found concealed on board papers leaving no doubt that she is bona fide Russian property. Yesterday the French war steamer Brandon arrived in the Downs from Brest, en route to join the allied fleet in the Baltic. The Star, 8-gun sloop, arrived at Sheerness yesterday morning from Chatham. The Wolverine, 12-gun sloop, Commander John Cor bett, will swing ship for the adjustment of her compasses to-day, and proceed to the Nore to-morrow. The crew will there be paid advance previous to her departure. The Colossus, 80, screw, Captain Robinson, fitting at Portsmouth, received her marine detachment yester day, and is progressing rapidly with her outfit. The Rhadarnanthus, paddlewheel steam store ship, Master Commander John Belam, arrived on Sunday morning at Woolwich, from Portsmouth, having brought round a 'quantity of stores and parcels for the Baltic fleet. They are to be put on board the Hannibal, 91, for immediate despatch to the Baltic. She was taken into the basin at Woolwich to day, and when she has discharged her stores will commence taking on board the machinery of the Curaeoa, 30, screw steam frigate, for conveyance to Portsmouth, as the Cura.coa is to be fitted at that port. Rear-Admiral Alaurice F. F. Berkeley, and Captain Sir Baldwin Walker arrived at Sheerness yesterday, in the Black Eagle steam-yacht, Master-Commander John E. Petley, from Chatham. They visited the Dauntless, 32-gun steam frigate, on their passage down, and after wards proceedecrto several departments in the yard , at tended by Captain-Superintendent Christopher Wyvill, and Mr. Jonathan Aylen, Ala-ter-Attendant. The Black Eagle took them back in the evening to Wool- with. The Royal Albert, 131 guns, new screw steam-ship.- - Commander Alexander Little arrived at Sheerness yes terday afternoon to commission this ship. Mr, W. Rumble, who has been doing duty as chief engineer, has had his appointment confirmed to this ship. The Algiers, 00, screw, Captain Talbot, went out of Devonport Harbour on Saturday, and saluted the flag of Admiral Sir William Parker, which was answered by the Impregnable. She has been paid advance by Rear- Admiral Superintendent Stopford. She is many short of her complement as yet. She has drawn charts for the Channel only—consequently her final destination is not publicly known. Yesterday the Lords of the Admiralty gave notice at Lloyd's that ships were required to convey 590 tons of provisions for the use of the navy in the Black Sea ' • also to convey 862 tons of am mun i t i on , s h u t, an d shells to Malta from Woolwich and Plymouth, and 100 tons of . . _ _ . ordnance s.ores to the Cape of Good Hope and Buffalo River. Toe Kangaroo, hired steam-transport, went into Portsmouth harbour yesterday, from Deptford, and is being fitted up for the conveyance of troops to Varna. She was surveyed by the dockyard officers yesterday, and is taking in a large supply of coals for her voyage. The Vulcan, steam troop transport, Commander Von Donop, is also coaling at Portsmouth for the convey ance of troops to the East, which are expected to em bark to-day or to•morrow. A. fatigue party of the 34th . were employed in stowing the baggage in the latter vessel yesterday. LAUNCH OF THE DISPATCH AND GUN-BOAT ARROW, —Yesterday afternoon the Arrow, one of the four gun boats ordered by the Admiralty to be built by Mare and Co., of Blackwall, was sent off the stocks. The Arrow has been built within ten weeks, and to the credit of her builder it should be stated that she has been launched in so complete a state that instead of requiring some scores of men to finish her in the docks, she proceeds to-day to Deptford, and. will be placed in the engineers hands. Messrs. . Hum phreys and Co. have the machinery all ready, and with equal rapidity it is expected her engines will be fitted and the ship will be completed for sea in the course of a fortnight. As a proof of the great expedition used in building this swift despatch and formidable gun-boat, we understand that no less than 900/. were paid on Sa turday for shipwrights' wages alone for last week. The ship looked well, her lines promise a good rate of speed, and her quarters evince excellent capacity for working the immense guns with which she is to be armed. The head-quarters, band, and two troops of the 15th Hussars left Chatham yesterday for Reading, where they billeted for the night. They will leave Reading to day, en route for Exeter, where they will be stationed for some time, to remount and - enlist recruits among the agricultural population of Devonshire. On Thursday the first division of the 27th Regiment ; or Enniskillens, embarked at Queenstown on board the Soubadar transport for conveyance to Calcutta. The service companies are divided into four divisions, and the remaining three will embark on the arrival of the trans ports. The captain and officers of the Soubadar expect to arrive at their destination in 100 days. The crew number over 50, of whom 46 are Lascars. conse queoceof the constant practice of smoking on board ship and the dangers apprehended froMit since th'e loss of the Europa transport, the attention of the Hor4e Guards has been directed to it, and a geneial order has been issued, a copy of which arrived in Cork garrison on Monday, prohibiting troops when about to embark for foreign service from taking inciter matches or other com bustible matter with them. Tobacco smoking is per mitted in the army and on board ship, but the attention of commanding officers will in future be directed to the practice, so as to prevent danger from fire. APPOINTMENTS.

Yesterday the Essex Rifles were veviewed in Hyde park by his Royal Highness Prince Albert. The regi ment marched from the Tower under the command of Colonel Jocelyn about 8 o'clock. The regiment was conveyed by steam-boats from London bridge to Ilan gerford-market, and took-up its position about ten o'clock, the ground being kept by the Life Guards. A great number of persons were present to witness the display. Prince Albert was accompanied by the Prince of Wales and several distinguished military officers. The whole of the manceuvres were performed with great rapidity and precision. At the close of ther review Prince Albert highly complimented Lord Jocelyn on the discipline of the regiment, which returned to the Tower about two o'clock. 160 men, 2 captains, and 4 subalterns of the Royal Monmouthshire Militia are under orders, to do duty in Pembroke PERILOUS POSITION OF THE BOULOGNE STEAMER.— BOULOGNE, June 24.—The City of Paris, steamer, Tune, running between London and Boulogne, w ut five iles from here, at 2.30 a.m., having on beard 117 passengers ll and a general carg o, p artl y consisting of wheat and wool, the particulars o f which, partly taken from tho log, are as follows : — June 23, at 8 p .m., the ship going at speed, came on a thick fog.

CHESTER AND IIOLYHEAD. A special meeting of this company ;as held yesterday at Easton Station, to consider two bills now before Par. liament—Admiral Moorsom in the chair. The solicitor read the heads of a bill to enable the Bangor and Carnarvon Railway Company to lease or sell their undertaking to the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company. The bill authorised the Bangor and Car narvon Company to raise additional capital to the amount of 40,0001., in addition to 120,0001. already raised. Of the 40,0001., 20,0001. is to pay off existing mortgages, and 10,0001. only is to be borrowed. The undertaking is to be vested in the Chester and Holyhead Company on payment of an annual rent of 0,4001. per annum. On the motion for approving the bill, a discussion en sued, in the course of which it was stated that in the original agreement with the Bangor and Carnarvon Com pany, for paying the cost of the line with interest at 5 per cent., they were allowed the tods on mineral traffic to and from that line carried over the Chester and Holy head Railway, which last year amounted to 11,0001., but by the new arrangement they would receive a fixed sum at the rate of 4 per cent, on the cost of the railway. This arrangement would effect a present saving of about 5,000/. a-year to the Chester and Holyhead Company, and at the same time make the Bangor and Carnarvon shares saleable, which they were not at present. The resolution approving the bill was declared carried.

NORTH STAITURDSHIRK. A special meeting of. this company was held yester day at the London Tavern, to consider certain bills now before Parliament in c ompliance with the standing orders of th e H ouse of Lords ; Air. Ricardo, M.P., in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said, the company had promoted three bills in the present session, two of which were rejected, and one had passed the House of Commons. The bill he had to submit was for making a line from Stoke upon-Trent to Congleton, on the North Staffordshire line. It would be constructed as a single line for the purpose of developing the enormous mineral wealth of the district. The line was estimated to cost 190,0001., and would be 18 miles in length, includi ng s i x miles of branches. The traffic on it in coal would realise an in come of 15 per cent. on the cost of the line, and, de ducting 50 per cent, for working expenses, would leave a very good profit. This undertaking would be included in the arrangement with the London and North- Western Company for a guaranteed dividend on the whole of the North Staffordshire Railway. With regard to the other bills, one was for authorising the amalgamation of the North Staffordshire Rail way with that of the London and North-Western, and the other for sanctioning working arrangements between the two companies. These bills were thrown out by the committee. It was unnecessary to go into the details of the first arrangement that had been en tered into with the London and North-Western Coin pany for leasing the line under the award of Mr. R. Stephenson and Mr. Hope Scott, the terms of which were, that the North Staffordshire Company were to receive for a certain time 3 per cent., then 31 per cent., and afterwards 3 2 per cent. in perpetuity. The share holders had expressed themselves satisfied with these terms, but the directors had never been satisfied with them. Under the circumstances, they had no alterna tive but to adopt them ; and if the amalgamation bill had passed in the last session embodying those terms, their property would have been parted With for 1 or 2 per cent. per annum less than its value. Fortunately for the proprietors, Mr. Cardwell's committee stopped all the amalgamation bills in the session of 1853. In the meantime the local traffic became so considerable on the line itself as to pay more than the term• agreed upon. That being the case, the directors felt that they could not ask the shareholders to sanction a bill authorising the sale of the line for less than it was actually earning at the time. The matter was represented to Mr. Stephenson, who had on a former occasion gone very fully into the details of the traffic on the line, with a view to show that gentleman that the actual traffic on the line had proved that his judgment with respect to it was erroneous. They were met in a very liberal spirit by the London and North-Western Company, and it was mutually agreed that the latter company were to pay at the rate of 3! per cent. for the traffic of the next half. year, and at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum in 1855 and subsequent years up to 1859, when the North Staffordshire shareholders should have the option of receiving a dividend equivalent to that of the London and North-Western, or to exchange their shares for a similar amount of London and North-Western stock. The canal companies had opposed the Amalga mation Bill in Parliament, liberal terms of settlement were offered them which they refused, and so the mat ter concluded. He had explained to the various canal interests that so long as they worked their canals pro perly and for the benefit of the public they had nothing to fear from the competition of railways. .lisesbelieeed that their company were in no worse positiot y the re jection of the Amalgamation Bill. It might, in fact, be a very fortunate thing for them, as they were thus lett entirely unfettered by any restrictions in carrying on their traffic. He believed that the London and North- Western Company were most anxious to carry out the arrangement. The North Staffordshire used formerly to be shut up at two ends of the line by the London and North-Western Company, which obstructions were now removed. Their local traffic wart now going on increas ing, and they were otherwise in a good position. They could have an outlet for their traffic at Wolverhampton by means of the Great Western, and at Leicester by means of the South Midland, so that he had no doubt they would be in a sufficiently independent position to insure the full co-operation of the London and North- Western Company. He had no reason to expect that there would be any difficulty in carrying out the arrange ment ; they would have to apply to Parliament again and again for the Amalgamation Bill, and he had no doubt that the alliance between the two companies was as secure as if the Amalgamation Bill had passed. To show that the line was developing the traffic, he stated that in the year 1850 836,954 passengers were conveyed on the line, and in 1853, 1,203,156, showing an increase of 366,202 passengers ; and the quantity of goods from 272,893 tons in 1850, to 609,958 tons in 1853, showing an increase of 337,065 tons. This was all upon the rail way, and did not take off any of the traffic of the canal. The traffic on the railway for the past three months showed an increase of 10,0001. over the receipts for the corresponding period of last year. The average receipts were now 7,2001. per week, equal to 31 per cent. ; 8001. more, er 8,0001. per week, would be equal to 4 per cent.; and 8,800/. per week would be equal to 5 per cent. per annum, leaving a balance of 10,0001. It would require an increase in the present gross traffic of 11 per cent. to reach a dividend of 4 per cent, per annum, and a further addition of 10 per cent. to reach 5 per cent. per annum. The increase of traffic on t he line in 1853 amounted to inn t s h 4 at to tl 2 l: was, f p u e r r ti c i e er nt' in ; e i r t ease e hadthere fore, not improbable 17 per cent., and na med would be realise d, and,-at all events, that the re turns would yield 5 to 51 per cent. at the end of four years. He concluded by moving a resolution approving the bill for making a railway from StokO to Congleton. The solicitor read the heads of the bill. A discussion ensued in which Admiral Kelly, Mr. Brodrick, the chair. man, and other proprietors took part, in the course of which it was stated that the agreement with the London. and North-Western would be for a term of years, renew able at the end of 25 years in case the amalgation should not be sanctioned by Parliament. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, a formal resolution approving the bill was carried unanimously, and the meeting separated. NORTH METROPOLITAN. A. special meeting of this company was held yesterday at the office ,, , Great George-street, to consider a bill in compliance with the standing orders of the House of Lords ; Mr. Malins in the chair. The solicitor read the heads of the bill for extending the authorised line to the Great Western Railway and to the General Post-office. A resolution approving the bill was carried unanimously. THE MONEY ORDER DEPARTMENT OP TIIE POST - OFFICE. —lt appears from a return ye s te rda y published that the profit of the money order department of the Post-office last year was 14,149/. The preceding y ear t h e prof i t w as 10,689/. The commission of the department lart year was 86,874/.

RIOT AT DEPTFOIM.—On Sunday evening a serious disturbance took place in New King-street, near Dept ford Dockyard -gates, between some men of th e Lancs• shire militia and a party of Irish labourers , which was kept up until nearly midnight. The original cause of conflict arose f rom a quarrel b e t we en a civilian and one of the soldiers at the Sheer Hulk public-house, in the same street. Inspector Goode, of the R division of police, with six constables, doinx duty at the dockyard station, went to quell the row, there being at the time a dreadful fight between the r ail b it ,, i c a k ine o e and civilians c.hi f te som ub e li in the skittle ground at batirlreacks came at Ls tim e and The picquet from took Douse p t with h la c ce theirThis bayonetscontinued t drawn, in t eandrya intervals The scene was more alarm ingrguesnheerdal into i ei ti t c h t e ol hitherto witnessed in Deptford.

Two powerful Irishmen, named John Murphy and William Conden, were even tually locked up, and brought before Mr. Combo, who sat for Mr. Trail yesterday, at the police court, with two men of the Lancashire Militia, with their heads and faces sadly contused. Their names are John Vince, corporal, and John Brown, private. Brown deposed to the act that ho was first attacked by Murphy, and severely beaten with a quart pot, and Corporal Vince proved that he was beaten down, and whilst in that condition he was kicked in a brutal manner by the other prisoner. Mr. Combe commented on the disgraceful transaction, and its being on the Sabbath -day made the offence worse. He then fined Murphy 40s. or six weeks' imprisonment, and 20s, or one month in the case of the other prisoner. It is much to the credit of the officers of the militia that they did their utmost to aid the police, whose oonduct was praiseworthy.
