The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con- Sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man 400d, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is I Particularly recommended t o persons entertaining secret doubts of their Physical condition, and w h o aro conscious of having hazarded e 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 management which cannot be violated without Incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. TheAntbor has for a series of years been engaged i n an ex t ensive practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have Unfortunately teen too generally confided to the care of ignorant ernpirics, who inflict great injury on those Who are indu ce d to faith in their preten s i ons .

FOR SEPTEMBER AND FOLLOWING MONTIIS,—The newly-invented PALETOT, which owes its existence exclusively to the Establishment of E.

By a very peculiar cut it unites ease in wear with the most correct and artistic fit ; it is the most elegant and gentlemanly article of the season. The materials, workmanship, and finish at once show how entirely impossible it is for any Establishment to imitate it at the price for which it is offered by E. Moses and Son—viz., twenty-five shillings. For September and following months sportsmen require necessary equipment for the shooting season. The suitability of the Sporting Attire manufactured by E. Moses and Son has gained it universal celebrity with all classes ; their long experience, vast transactions, and the unrivalled talent they employ in designing and making up every fashionable and useful article of Dress, and the very economi cal prices they charge, insure it such patronage that the stock though immense is always new. _ _ For f,eptember the Hosiery and Ladles' and Children's Dress De partments are replenished with the most elegant articles of the first order of fashion, and at the most economical prices.

MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE IN 03, OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155. 156, and 157, Minories, 84, 85, and 86, Aidgate, opposite the Church. all communicating.

We un derstand this is the ship which was reported some little time back as laden with timber from Memel, for the use of her Majesty's dockyard, Sheerness. morrow ; where, I do not know, but we rather expect to a place called Randalax, where I believe there are some large forts. I hope we shall, as I want to have something to do, instead of having to come home and say that we have done nothing. On Monday, July 18, wo sent 10 seamen and 10 marines, with some officers, to the Brisk, and 10 seamen and 10 marines to the Miranda, and the captain went on board the Brisk. As soon as the captain got on board the two steamers got under way, and went towards a place called Saalretski, which is strongly fortified ; this they bombarded ; they commenced firing at S a.m., and finished as-, 4 p.m. ; but, as the walls were 10 feet thick, they could not make very much impression on them, so they left it and went to Borne other places, and the last one they went to they burnt, and took ever so many cows, calves, sheep,&c., and brought them on board the ships. We are going to have our ' first veal dinner to-day since I left England. We have been living on fresh salmon for the last five or six days certainly, but we have not had any fresh mutton or any thing of that sort. The Brisk came back the day before yesterday, and the Miranda anchored yesterday, but in the evening she left again, and went out cruising so as to burn some of her coal, and to be able to fill up again with some coal brought from England by a collier for the steamers. The collier is almost empty now, having filled up the Brisk and Miranda once before, and, having about 100 tons over, and wanting to get rid of it, the Miranda has gone out to spend some of hers, and then fill up with what rema i ns i n t h e collier. ur pinnace and that of the Brisk are ballasting the coal brig with stones, &c., and they conti nue go i ng to and from the brig all te day long, except when they are having dinner." THE PRISON" SHIPS.

The Benbow has been fitted and victualled under the superintendence, of the commander and officers of the Devonshire. The guards on board the Devonshire have their arms and clothing served out. They are supplied with rifles and two suits of clothing of very neat and soldierlike design. The senior sergeants are to have 3s. 6d. per day, junior serjeants 35., corporals 2s. 6d., and privates 2s. per day, added to their pensions, and they are to receive their pay monthly. This arrangement has given very great satisfaction to them, as most of them when called on to serve were obtaining from its. to 21s. per week. The barrack prison at Milbay is ordered to be prepared for the reception of Russian prisoners. ABSOLUTE _REJECTION BY _RUSSIA-UP THE VIENNA .NOTE. THE NEW STEAM-SHIP CONQUEROR. In No. 5 slip, Devonport Dockyard, the orlop deck beams of the screw steam-ship Conqueror, 120, are in their place, an it io'intended that she shall b© launched early next year. In No. 3 slip the blocks are laid for the frigate Liffey. The absolute rejection by Russia of the four guarantees required by Austria and the Western Powers will con siderably simplify the relations of the leading States of Europe, both with the Cabinet of St. Petersburg and with each other. In partinnlnr, the policy of the Court of Vienna must henceforth be identified with that of England and France ; for, in the note of the Bth ult., Count Buol declared that his Government would not treat except upon the basis of the four demands which Prince Gortschakoff, as we learn from the despatches we elsewhere publiele, has now an n o unce d t h at his mas ter unconditional' rejects. Whatever reliance may have been originally felt at Vienna upon the moderation and magnanimity of the Czar, is now decisively shown to have been without foundation. There have unques tionably been passages in the former intercourse of the two Empires which gave Austria some reason to hope that her wishes and intentions would not be altogether disregarded ; but all such delusions are now finally dis pelled, and the Emperor Francis Joseph must, however reluctantly, conclude that the securities essential to the tranquillity of Europe can only be exacted at the price of an arduous and costly war. It was, on all accounts, most desirable for Austria to preserve peace ; but, hav ing fruitlessly exhausted every effort for that purpose, she has now no safe or honourable alternative but to compel by arms the adoption cf those principles which she has in vain solicited Russia peacefully to accept. It may be well, in order to provide againt disap pointment, to anticipate the probability of a protracted struggle before the power of the enemy can be so far broken as to enforce his acquiescence in terms by. which the peace of Europe may be permanently guaranteed. While, however, a prolonged conflict may be requisite to extort the concurrence of the Czar in a just and honourable pacification, it will not be impossible to give immediate effect to the four important principles agreed to at Vienna, independently of his assent or refusal. For example, it has been declared by England, France, and Austria to be an indispensable condition of peace that the protectorate hitherto exercised by Russia over Wallachia, Moldavia, and Servia shall be discontinued, and that the privileges accorded by the Porte to those provinces shall be placed under the protection of the leading powers. The Emperor Nicholas refuses to adopt this basis of negotiation, and if he is resolved on an ob stinate resistance it may undoubtedly be a work of time and difficulty to compel his formal adhesion to it. But what, after all, does it matter whether the Cabinet of St. Petersburg will, or will not, declare its theoretical acceptance of a principle which we know it could not be trusted to observe in practice ? The capital of Wal lachia will forthwith be occupied by Austrian troops, who are now within the distance of a march or two from that place ; and, as Russia has at last thrown off all disguise, and, as the Court of Vienna has no longer any object to attain by avoiding a col lision with her troops, we may expect that an Austrian force will at once descend into North Moldavia to accelerate the departure of the invaders, and to prevent their return. In the meanwhile, if it be really their purpose to retain their position on the Lower Sereth and the Danube, Omer Pacha and his victorious army will doubtless be prepared to make a vigorous effort to expel them. By the exertions of the Ottomans— aided, perhaps, by a diversion of the Western Allies in the enemy's rear—we do not doubt that the Principali ties will be cleared of, the Russians before the cicso of the . present campaign ; and it is certain that the same force which will have proved strong enough to eject them will be equally competent to prevent any fresh aggression. The first of the four principles laid down by the allies will, therefore, be practically asserted by the presence, in the Danubian provinces, of Austrian and Turkish troops in sufficient strength to preclude the possi bility of a renewed invasion. We do not see that any security could have been exacted from Russia which would have made it prudent to withdraw the forces of the two allied powers ; and, on the other hand, by main taining a powerful Austro-Turkish army in the princi palities, it becomes very immaterial whether any further security be obtained or not. Again, it is declared, by the notes exchanged at Vienna on the Bth ult., that the navigati on o f th e D anu b e at its mouths must be freed from all obstruction. If, however, this second principle were merely to be recognised by treaty, it would be silently abrogated by Russia as soon as the close of the war should have broken up the combination against her. It does not seem possible to devise any satisfactory security for the freedom of the Danube short of depriving the Czar of his terri tory on the northern bank. This result the confederate Powers are perfectly able to accomplish ; and when they are once in possession of the district in question, it will ' not be difficult for them to maintain it, if, instead of trusting to the professions of Russia, they rely on the constant presence of a m ilit ary an d nava l force. V Nor is it in any degree more important whether the third and fourth conditions specified in the Note be, or be not, conceded by the Czar. The treaties under which Russia claimed a privileged position in the Black Sea, and an official protectorate over the Christian subjects of the Porte, have been extinguished by the war, and must never be revived. •We may at last feel assured that the fortune of war will not turn so far against the Ottomans as to obli g e them to con sen t t o a renewal of these tree., ties ; and the claim which the Court of St. Petersburg has founded on them may, therefore, be considered as belonging entirely to history. 'Whatever arrangements may be thought expedient for the security of Constan tinople will, of course, be made by agreement among the confederate Powers. On these arrangements Russia will not be consulted ; and, by the destruction of her maritime ascendancy in the Black Sea she will be de prived of the power of interfering with them. Although, therefore, it is difficult to foresee how long the enemy may withhold his assent to the four principles of the Note, their practical enforcement may be looked for at no very distant time. When the armies of the Czar shall have been driven from Moldavia and from the Lower Danube, and when the Crimea shall have been conquered, and the remaining Russian garrisons en the Circassian coast reduced, the allies will be in a posi tion to consult their own convenience as to the continued prosecution of offensive operations. It may probably be advisable to carry the war considerably further into the enemy's dominions ; but should such a course be deemed inexpedient, it might be sufficient, after attaining the results we have indicated, to secure the safety of the conquered territory, and to maintain a strict blockade of the Russian coasts. Such a system of hostility would cost the allied powers far less than their antagonist, and they might safely persevere until the lapse of time, or 'some change in the direction of affairs, should have brought more mod era t e counse l s into favour at St. Petersburg. It may be hoped, therefore, that, in any case, the war will, at an early period, cease to affect seriously the general course of affairs in Europe. Rus sia has long aspired, though on somewhat slender grounds, to rank as one of the great civilised powers of the world ; but she must henceforth return into the cate gory of barbarian States, and her incursions must be restrained by the constant presence of an army, just as the Romans guarded the Danube, or as we now defend the north-west frontier o f our Indian empire. The peace and prosperity of Europe do not depend on the moderation and equity of the Emperor Nicholas, but on the unanimity and co-operation of the powers whom his ambition has aroused to arms. The attainment of the objects of the war will, no doubt, be very greatly facilitated by the accession of Austria to the common cause, and we most cordially hail the closer union of such an ally with Turkey and the Western Powers. But it is satisfactory to feel assured that, even without her aid, England and France are able, if necessary, to obtain by their own strength the conditions requisite for the tranquillity of Europe. The Western Powers have as yet scarcely learned to realise the vast resources at their disposal ; but enough has been done to show beyond all question that the allied fleets and armies are capable of coedial and energetic'co-operation, and even if this should be the only result achieved in the first campaign, there would be little reason for dissatisfaction. That the most intimate union prevails between England and France has been proved at Bomarsund, and, under exceedingly trying circumstances, at Varna; and the same truth will be still more decisively declared ' by the grand demonstration about to be made at Bou logne. The peaceful invasion of the shores of our ally by Prince Albert and his detachment of Horse Guards, and the eager and hearty welcome which the hospitality of Napoleon 111. and his people will accord to the Consort of the Queen, will afford a signal illustration of that firm and cordial alliance between the two great nations of the west, which common perils and common duties have so powerfully cemented. We shall certainly be curious to see whether the ingenuity of the official jour /lab of St. Peteroburg will ittowpt to Waist ;utter f . or STEAMERS IN COMMISSION. '- The total number of screw and paddlewheel steam-ships now in commission in her Majesty's service is 143; of sail ing vessels, 108—making a total of 251. MAIL FOR THE BALTIC. The mail for the Baltic fleet will be made up and for warded, via Belgium and Dantzic, to-morrow evening. The postage must be paid in advance. A letter received at Plymouth from the Dido, 18, Capt. Illoorshead, dated Panama, my 30, says---" We have lately arrived here with a freight of 600,000 dols. All is landed here excepting 130,000 dols. for England, by the Horn." The Dido does not return home for the present. She sails for Valparaiso. '" - TRANSPORT SERVICE. In consequence of the vast increase of business in the victualling and transport service of the Admiralty, a new branch to that department has beenfound absolutely neces sary. It is understood Mr. Leyburu will be its head, assisted by 23 clerks. The London, hired transport screw steam-vessel, arrived off the Royal Arsenal yesterday, at 10 o'clock a.m., and at half-past 10, Capt. Cleaveland's company, 12th battaliOn, Royal Artillery, under orders for Malta, and the large de tachments for Gibraltar, Malta, and Corfu, to fill up the companies at those stations, marched from the garrison to the Royal Arsenal, and immediately embarked in her for conveyance to their destination. She was to leave Wool wich last evening. Two troop-ships bound up Channel reached in towards Plymouth Sound on Sunday morning, The troop-ship Bury St. Edmund's, from Madras, landed Lieut. Saunders, 84th Regiment, and a small mail at Fal mouth on Friday. ROYAL ARTILLERY. 170 men of the 3d battalion of the Royal Artillery, under the command of Capt. Marriott, have left Woolwich for Horfield. Barracks, near Bristol. 80 horses, with a portion of the men, will not arrive until the Bth of Sep tember, as it will take that time to travel down. The guns at Horfield Barracks, which were brought down about 12 months ago, will bo handed over by Lieutenant Mil man, who, with 20 men, has had charge of them since the departure of the 13th battalion. PAYMASTER-GENERAL'S DEPARTMENT. It is rumoured that all the branch offices at the several outports are to be abolished, and the clerks recalled to Somerset House. The now system of payment of seamen's wages relieves the local branches of this duty, as the men will now be paid monthly by the paymasters of their re spective ships. How the other portion of the duties is to be performed it is not said, except that the storekeeper's department will pay the salaried officers and pensioners from the dockyard, and that the seamen pensioners will be paid tiegether :with and as the ar.my pensioners are now paid. KEYHAm.-17pwards of 30fitters, braziers, boiler - makers, &c., are at present actively employed under the direction of Mr. Trickett, the resident engineer, who is authorised to make such additions to his department as the service may require. It is expected on the return of the fleet a large number of men will be employed. DEVONPORT DOCKYARD.—An addition is to be made to the boatswains' department, by the entry of a number of labourers, the present strength being insufficient. THE MILITIA AND YEOMANRY. The East Kent Militia are now on garrison at Woolwich. The regiment takes the entire duty of guarding the arsenal and the parks of artillery. The first portion of the Middlesex Militia Regiment of Edmonton Rifles, Colonel Viscount Enfield, muster at head-quarters to-day to be trained as instructors for the rest of the regiment when it meets at Barnet in October. Major-General Cochrane, commanding the Dublin dis trict, made his inspection of tho Northamptonshire Militia on Friday on the Esplanade facing the Royal barracks. The regiment assembled on parade in complete marching order at 11 o'clock a.m., under the command of Lieut.- Colonel Lord Burghley, when the Majo:-General arrived, attended by his staff, and made a very minute examina tion of the men and their appointments. The Yorkshire Hussar Yeomanry will assemble at York on Thursday, September 21, and will be reviewed on the following Wednesday. The Royal Glamorganshire Militia will assemble for drill at Cardiff on Saturday next, the 9th init. THE WRITE SEA SQUADRON. here.

The Russians have been making a great display of their force for the last two or three clays, such as firing guns and rowing their gunboats about, and their steamers getting up their steam, but none of their fine vessels have yet showed their figureheads on this side of the bar. For the last one or two days we have kept ourselves in readi ness to weigh at an instant's notice ; the two steamers always keep their fires banked, so that they may be able to get up their steam quickly and take us in tow, should it fall calm, and the gun-boats, taking advantage of the calm, come and attack um. The day before yesterday was quite calm and oppressively hot. It was as hot as a summer's day in England, an d . every one was crying out for duck trousers and white waistcoats, and some wanted to bathe.

July 7.—Last night about ten o'clock, without any one expecting it, the captain ordered all Miranda. It does not look as if w e the hands to be turned up, and the ship to be got under weigh, and the Brisk to take us in tow. Before long we were going through the water at the rate of five or six knots an hour, with fore and aft-sails set. At 101 o'clock this morning we cast off from the Brisk and made sail, and at about 1 p.m. we arrived at. a place called Cross Island. Our prize, the Volga, is anchored close alongside of us, and the Brisk a little way ahead. We have sent the boats away to get some water, but they have not returned yet, and it is coining on to blow. It is now 6 o'clock, and the boats have returned, ex cept one (the pinnace), and she is a long way off astern to leeward, on the opposite side of the ship from which the wind blows, and she is drifting f ur th er away. Sa turday, July B.—lt is 12 o'clock, And the pinnace has not yet returned. She has been cruising about all night, and I should think the crew were very tired and cold, for it is blowing so hard that we have struck our top gallantmasts and yards. 6 o'clock.--The pinnace has not yet returned, and we have sent the Volga to look for her. She is now running before the wind with only her jib set, and she has just loosed her foretopsail. We have very good fare here. At Hammerfest we laid up a good stock of reindeer meat, and it is not a ll gone. We get hot rolls for breakfast every morning, h ave pea soup for dinner every other day, and goose berry tart every Thursday and Sunday, with plum pudding on Thursday and rice pudding on Sunday. We have also got lots of wine, but all our ale is gone, and we cannot get any more. Will you please ask them all to write a small note if they can hear of any ship leaving England for the White Sea ? _ " Cross Island, July 19.

The Royal Albert, 121, screw, is still in the graving deck, Sheerness, and the sole cause why this vessel did not go out last week was that tha caisson was found to be very defective. Mr. Scamp, Admiralty engineer, is expected there, to survey the entranov of the basin. No doubt at next spring tides she will be once more afloat ; but although still in the basin, the interim' fittings and machinery, to gether with the rigging department, aro being completed. The Royal William, 120, Captain Kingcomb, from the Baltic, has received orders to proceed to Plymouth, where moorings were taken up for her on Saturday. The Exmouth, 90, screw, Devonport.—Rhadamanthus, steam transport, Master Commander Belam, arrived at Devonport on Friday, from Woolwich, with machinery for the Exmouth. She will be paid wages at Davenport. The Falcon, 17, screw, sister ship to Harrier, Mr. Tonkin, assistant master attendant, in charge, arrived in Ports mouth Harbour on Saturday morning, from Pembroke. She made a long passage, owing to frequent calms ; her qualities, however, are highly spoken of. She was jury rigged as a barque, and her masts and spars made up from something of all sorts—to wit, Sidon's bowsprit, Serpent's main and maintopmast, &c. The rigging was too short, as were also the backstays, which had to be tailed ; never theless, she beat everything [in coming round. She ap pears somewhat longer than the Harrier, and rather a finer bow, which is right enough for a steamer. The Falcon was placed alongside the jetty and unbent sails. To. day she will strip and return stores, and prepare for her proper masts, rigging, and commission. The Malacca, 17, screw, Captain Farquhar, hauled out of dock at Portsmouth early on Saturday morning, and took several turns through Spithead, after which she re ceived ,her powder and shell.), and dropped down to Osborne to make one of the royal squadron. The steamer Avon wns taken on Saturday into Keyham dock to receive new tubular boilers. The frigate Meander is ordered to leave Plymouth Sound for Greenock, to obtain seamen. The Diligence was taken out of the basin at WOolwich on Saturday evening, having taken on board the machinery for the Falcon, screw steam-sloop. She left the same night, towed by the Monkey, Second Master Synder combe, who has orders to tow her all the way round to Portsmouth. There is a fine Austrian frigate, of about 50 guns, s: Greenhithe, where she has been for the lad fortnight having come over to the Thames with the crew of another steam-frigate building in this country for the Austrian Government. The Supply, screw steam storeship, Master• Commander Penn, is at Greenhithe, with a large quantity of stores on board, from the Royal Arsenal, for conveyance to Turkey. She has been delayed in consequence of a piece of chain becoming entangled in her screw propeller, which caused her to strain her stern, and workmen were sent down on Saturday evening from the factory at Wo , -lwich, and were at work on board of her all yesterday in stopping the leak caused by that accident. ' The Snake, steam despatch-vessel, is ordered to be commis sioned at Woolwich by Lieutenant-Commander AUSillop, late in command of the Royal Charlotte, revenue catter. So great a favourite was this officer in the service in which he has been employed, that on his appointment being known the whole number of seamen required for the Snake volunteered at once to join that vessel,—Plymouth Mail. The Sea Lark, 8, was towed out of Portsmouth Harbour on Saturday evening, by manning her own boats, and doing it the old-fashioned way. She anchored at Spithead. Owing to the most active exertions of the master attend. ant and storekeeper at the Royal Clarence Victualling- yard, a supply is in stock to answer any demand that may be made from our fleets either in the Black Sea or Baltic. A steam-transport is hourly expected to take to Constan tinople 1800 casks of bread and 800 casks of beef for the troops. THE GUN-BOATS.--DEPARTURE OF THE WRANGLER. The Wrangler, screw steam despatch gun-boat, Lieut.- Commander Risk, left Woolwich on Saturday morning for Greenhithe, where she had her compasses adjusted ; and her machinery, by 111audslay, Sons, and Field, having been found to work well, she left Greenhithe yesterday for the Baltic, having drawn charts previously to assist in navi gating her throughlthe Northern Seas. TRIAL OF THE BEAGLE. - The Beagle screw steam-despatch gun-boat, Lieutenant- Commander Here, was taken out of Woolwich basin on Saturday evening, and left yesterday morning at 10 o'clock for Greenhithe, having on board Lieutenant-Commander Luce, of the Lynx screw steam-despatch gun-boat ; Mr. Taplit., second-assistant to the chief engineer at Woolwich Dockyaltt; Bir:- Harding, inspector 9f shipwrights k Mr.. Tennant, of the firm of Humphrys, Tennant, and tylcbi, the constructors of her engines ; and Mr. Dykes, to su perintend their working ou their first trial. Mr. Dykes proceeds round to Falmouth in .her, the only port at which she is to touch on her passage to the Black Sea. The Beagle, although manned entirely by a newly raised crew, presented a remarkably clean and neat appearance. The engines of the Beagle are very com pact, and worked to the entire satisfaction of Mr. Taplin and all on board. Although not down to her water line, as she had to take her powder in at Greenhithe, she sits remarkably upright in the water, and did not yield in the least degree to the strong fresh breeze that was blowing when she passed through Long Reach. The time was not officially taken at the measured mil a at Long Reach, as it was intended to make several runs, and take the average of her speed at the measured mile at the Lower Hope, in the afternoon. It was evident, however, that she will attain an average speed of about 11 knots per hour, as, although her engines were not working up to their full number of revolutions on their first trial, she passed over more than 12 miles distance in going down the river within the hour. THE VACANCIES IN THE• BLACK SEA FLEET. So much progress have the "lads" made in the Illus. trious, 46, training-ship, at Portsmouth, under the able tuition of Captain Harris, that the Board of Admiralty have ordered the death vacancies in the Black Sea fleet to be made good from the Illustrious. The best of course will be sent to the most active ships, and between 300 and 400 will be thus disposed of, and will do credit to their in st. ,ructor. Several fine lads have daily gone on board the Illus trious, and it has been often proved that the " farmer's boy" makes the best sailor. "1111. S. -, Varna, Aug. 19. "The malady among some of the ships in the fleet has, I regret to say, been fearful up to the present date. The Britannia, Albion, Trafalgar, and Furious have suffered severely. We have, I rejoice to tell you, had but six cases, four of which proved fatal. I trust we may improve daily, as sickness is on the decline. Some of the ships are at sea still, others with the flag-ship at Baltchik. The steamers, under command of Sir E. Lyons, are concentrating here. Troops continue to arrive, and report says we are to com mence the grand embarkation on the 21st inst. Whether Sebastopol and the Crimea are the first objects of attack is not known—some say one place, some another, but time will shortly place the matter beyond a doubt, and I thi by the Ist of September we shall be fully occupied. I a fearful, with our present amount of troops, it may not ter minate so speedily as we desire. We must do our duty, and trust to an overruling Providence for the result. I shall write you again, should an opportunity offer, if but a few lines, to tell you of our destination. It is dreadfully hot here, and we shall all be glad to get away ; any change almost would be preferable to our present monotonous life. Both army and navy are anxious to bring affairs to a conclusion as soon as possible, and, if it is to be under taken this year, it must be without delay, is the present opinion." THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. The Electric Telegraph Company have lately supplied the Government with a very complete and portable set of electric telegraph apparatus, adapted for use in the field, to accompany the munitions sent out to the East, where it will doubtless prove a valuable auxiliary to the service. It consists of two waggons, each containing a complete set of instruments, batteries, and telegraphic apparatus, and a sufficient supply of insulated wire, to establish at a moment's notice a telegraph communication to a distance of 10'or 12 miles either on land or under water. Each waggon is intended to be drawn by six horses, and to be accompanied by a staff of mounted officers and men, and Sappers and Miners are now being educated for that duty at tho company's central station, at Lothbury, and have already acquired great proficiency in the use of the signal instruments. Tho appliances for laying out the wire over irregular ground, and through marshes and rivers, are very ingenious, and the instruments are so thoroughly portable that after being shifted from place to place they can be fixed in working order in a few seconds. For communications by day and night between distant points, such as the banks of a river, a distant outpost, or battery in entrenchments, between vessels at sea, and especially between the fleet and the shore, this novel auxi liary will doubtless prove of the highest utility. ANOTHER RUSSIAN PRIZE. The Problem, a Russian prize schooner, Brobrich master, from Memel, laden with rye, left Sheerness on Saturday morning direct for London, where she arrived in the even ing.

In the meanwhile it may perhaps be necessary to re mind our readers that there was once in the North of Germany another first-rate European Power. The com plete isolation of Prussia could not be more strikingly shown than by the fact that it is possible to discuss the most important European questions without even mentioning her name. We have enumerated the con in ditions which it is necessary to exact from Russia, and, obtitining ithese we neither need the help nor fear the hindrance of the Court of Be;-lin. Solicitation and argu ment have been sufficiently employed to arouse Prussia to a sense of her duties and her interests; and the Western Powers may now leave her to reap the fruit of her own sowing. Her future position in Germany will -be te severest jud gment upon her p o li cy, and no reproach whic h h can be aidressed to her can possibly increase the hu miliation she is doomed to encounter. Her subserviency to Russia is properly requited by the total disregard of all her representations ; and, in a great crisis in Euro pean politics, the part which she had chosen for herself is suddenly superseded. There is now no possible middle course left open to Prussia and her corkfederate States ; for they must either actively enforce against Russia the principles to which they hare committed themselves, or make common cause with theaggressor at the expense of the most vital interests of Germany. To declare that those principles are essential to the peace and well-being of Europe, and yet to refuse to stir a man or spend a shilling in their support, is a depth of abasement to which we can hardly yet believe it possible for a. -great State to stoop. The wise and also the generous part has already been taken by Austria, and she is rapidly draw ing to her side many of the minor Gerrsa Sovereigns ; while Prussia, by her temporising policy, -has forfeited all influence and respect, even if she should now deter mine to act rightly. She must either adopt the policy of Austria in asserting the four principles of the Vienna Note, or openly league 'herself with the Czar in a con spiracy against the rights and interests of Germany and the liberties of Europe.—Moriting Chronicle. THE REVIEW AT 13OULOGNE. The military exercises which will commence thri Week at Boulogne derive an unusual degree of importance and reality from the operations of actual war in which the French army is now engaged, and they also afford an opportunity, which has not been neglected, of strength ening the alliance now happily existing between the States end armies of Western Europe. The Emperor of the French has announced his intention of spending the whole month of September at Boulogne, with the exception of a short absence to enable him to fetch the Empress from the south of France. The King of Bel gium has already arrived at Calais on his way to pay a visit to his powerful neighbour ; and the Prince Consort of England will at once proceed with a squadron of the royal yachts to join the Court of France at Boulogne, where he will remain during the greater part of the pre sent week. It will readily be understood that this act of courtesy at the present crisis means that the Sove reigns, as well as the nations of France and England, are resolved, every other consideration apart, to join heart and hand in the military preparations neces sary to insure success to the enterprise in which they are engaged ; that they look with a common interest on the troops collected for that great object, and that the camps formed in the north of Fiance, far from being a subject of jealousy or apprehension to Belgium or to England, are regarded by those countries as the arma ments of a near ally identified with their own cause. It is true that the associations connected with an Imperial camp at Boulogne heighten to a remarkable degree the contrast between all former periods of history and the present state of affairs. Fifty years ago the names of Capecure, Pont de Brique, Arribleteuse, and Wimereux were household words to our fathers, for they described the places where the legions of Napoleon were assembled for a descent on the English shores, but where they remained, in spite of the genious and ambition of their great captain, paralysed by the vigilance and naval power of Britain, until by a sudden and gigantic effort those same troops were thrown upon the line of the Danube, and led to victory at A us t er lit z. T here, too, upon the height s above Boulogne, when the first distribution of the insignia of the Legion of Honour was made to the army of Napoleon. from an amphitheatre which commanded a prospect of the flotilla below, and the cliffs of Albion beyond, the rivalry of the two na tions was at its height, and England seemed marked by the French eagles for their prey. Since the lapse of half a century has extinguished these passions —since the ' events of the present time and the aggressions of Russia have turned in a totally different direction the martial energy of the two countries—and since the proximity of Franc:_‘ and EnOands which gave rise to so many cen turies of bitter enmity ana bloody conflict, is at last con verted into a bond of alliance becoming more social, as well as political, every year—it is not unbefitting that Boulogne and the adjacent coast, which were the fore most points of aggression and menace in former times, should now receive the first visit of the allied Sovereigns represented by two Princes of the Coburg family. We have no doubt that in the popular applause .which will greet Louis Napoleon upon his visit to Boulogne, the voices of our own countrymen will contribute at least their full share to his ovation, and the visit of Prince Albert will be the signal of a friendly invasion of the Department of the Pas de Calais such as had not been witnessed since English men-at-arms held a fortress on the coast of Picardy. The military preparations of the French army are upon the most extensive scale, and it is said that 100,000 men are collected in the several camps extending along the coast from Boulogne to St. Omer. The temporary villages, as they may be termed, into which the French soldiers form their can tonments, are not unskilfully constructed or ungrace fully decorated ; and it is supposed that they will be occupied by this army until the return of spring enables the troops to take part in the operations which may .then be contemplated in the north of Europe. The visit of Prince Albert to the Emperor of the French has, however, unquestionably a political signifi cation of even greater interest than the review of troops or the mimic warfare which prepares armies for the future labours of the field. It implies on the part of the So vereign of this country, as well as of the Government, an increasing confidence in the stability of that alliance on which this nation relies at the present time, not only for success in war, but for security at home ; and it proceeds from a desire to mark by an act of courtesy to the Ruler of France our sense of the frank and undevi ating part he has taken in support of our common in terests. Early in his reign he declared by every means in his power that he conceived the alliance with this country to be the connection on which he had most reason to base his foreign policy ; and, although these declarations were necessarily received with considerable distrust from a Government founded on principles the most opposite to the free institutions of England, it is due to Louis Napoleon to acknowledge that he has acted up to them in every particular. Indeed, no Sovereign has ever sat upon the throne of France who has shown a more strict regard for the engagements he has entered into with this country, or a greater readiness to promote English interests whenever he has thought them to be consistent with those of the French nation. He has not only entered heartily into the pre sent war and tried the great experiment of combining the forces of France and England by sea and land, but when others have been fainthearted or irresolute he has never wavered in his resolution to carry through what we have undertaken. Nor has he shown less disposition to follow apd adopt the commercial policy which this country has been the first to introduce with signal suc cess ; gradually but steadily the French prohibition tariff is falling under the more liberal decrees of the Govern ment ; the sliding scale of duties on corn is not at pre sent to be re-imposed ; iron, cattle, salt provisions, and wine are allowed to enter France at reduced duties ; and the exhibition of the Industry of all Nations to be held in Paris next year, at which all the articles exhibited may be sold at a small' customs' percentage, is the greatest blow ever given to the Protectionists of the continent. In considering these subjects, which are of such momentous consequence ,to th e p eace and progress , of those mankind, it is the duty of those in authority, ie thef organsw orl d of whether public and opinion, of their resent tohrisasnatthioe inchief whosoc represent position ewpeersaornes oraroesvtenantloiothues t o o s lo e o en k r e e, xc w lu it s h iv o e u l t y re to fe t r h en e o r e es t u o l t t h s institutions by do n w b h t, o m g u e o s r t i o b n y s whichpersons they a r m e a they b o e r d i n i naairay tained.

To free institutions, indeed, we are wont to look with greater confidence, because they are a barrier against the caprices and the abuses of absolute authority, and they give permanence to whatever is worth preserving in the political structure of a nation ; but free institu tions, like every other portion of the mechanism of so ciety, must be judged of by the good they produce, and it would be the height of pedantry and injustice to de preciate a positive benefit became it does not originate in -a form of Government as popular as our own. As Englismen, it is a matter of indifference to us by what family of Princes France may be governed, and it is a matter of secondary importance to us what may be her internal form of Government ; at any rate, we h no thing to do w ith th e choice of a French dynastyave or the nature of a French Constitution, but we are immeasur ably concerned in the maintenance of eace and good will betw een ourselves and our nearest and most power ful neighbour. We know that this union is our strength and our welfare ; and in these times the broad national interests which have sprung up between the most civilized communities of the world are the first object to which we direct our policy and our hopes. In this sense, the excursion of Prince Albert to Boulogne has a national interest, though it has not the character of a military or a political mission, and we have no doubt that his reception in France will be as cordial as the best friends of the two countries can desire.— Timcs. • T — HE MAIL PACKETS. —SOUTHAMPTON, Saturday.— The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship La Plata, Capt.

Answers more or less satisfactory h ave b een sent by most of the Boards of Guardians, some accepting the Board's offered advice and assistance, others de clining it, and stating the arrangements they have made for the execution of their duties under the directions re ferred to ; others stating generally that they have made th e necessary arrangements, without describing what these are ; while from some no answer has yet been received. Notice having thus been given to the metropolitan guardians of the Board's readiness to aid them if they required it, the Board has now to discharge the not less important duty of ascertaining how far arrangements have been made by the guardians in execution of the board's directions for preventing the spread of the disease, or for placing medical aid and in formation within the reach of all. To ascertain this, it will be necessary to bring under skilled and partial ob dseermvaictiponretvialeilsd. ist E ri o c r ts ti o li i s t p h u e rp m os e e tr s o i l x ,o a li d s d w iti h o e n re al t in h e e a e a p a i - 1 inspectors have been appointed, who will at once enter • ere d ü b ty oa i r n d s relationo guardiansf to ithe a u r p e on fou teit t - o f h u a n y ct e i neglectedfunctions, and where their. l epidemic, th e G enera l B oa rd of Health will d o i ts ut . most to enforce th a t d u ty, i n s o far as it is em p owered by law.

THE MOORS, FORESTS, AND RIVERS. What has been simply refreshing breezy weather here has been boisterous and stormy on the long treeless moors dear to sportsmen. Fortunately, birds are nume rous, and sportsmen are not unrewarded for the toils they encounter in pursuit cf game. We have a few notes of sport to give this week, but it will be seen that they all indicate abundance of :birds, and from our corres pondents we learn that the grouse are everywhere un commonly strong and healthy. Mr. Finnie and his party at Glentruim have shot 1,040 brace of grouse up to 26th August—being an average of 25 brace per bag every day. At Muirton, Mr. Gordon of Netherruuir and Mr. Burnett shot, on 22d inst., 26 brace of grouse, and Mr. G. Gordon, on the same day, shot 21 brace of grouse and 5 brace of black.game. On 23d inst. Mr. George Gordon shot 19 brace of grouse. At Muirton, the weather having become better, the bags have in creased. On the 26th, Mr. G. Gordon, on the hill of Cadman, bagged 31 brace ; on the 28th, with Mr. Barnett, he bagged 291 brace ; and on the 29th they bagged, on the same ground, 35 brace, beside hares, and stopped. The birds were very fine. On the 26th, Major Hirst ' and brother, Mr. F. Hotham Hirst, Tulloch Caetle, bag ged 241 brace of grouse, 21 brace of black game 6 mountain hares, and on e sn i pe, notwithstanding that the ' wind blew " great guns," and the bi r d s were w i ld. Mr. Mackenzie of Muirton shot, at Scatwell, on 22d inst., 3 brace of old blackcock and one woodcock, and afterwards had some capital angling in the river Conon. On the Carr bridge snooze', Sir H.

At Lagganauld, the weather has into rfered very materially with the sport. On Monday, Mr. Hall only was out, when he had 24 brace grouse. On Tuesday the Rev. Mr. King had 36 brace, and Mr. Hall 30 brace. None of the parties were out on Wednesday or Thursday; but on Friday Mr. Hall had 26 brace and Mr. King 36. At the Blackwater shootings, on Monday afternoon, General Sir E. Bowater had 4 brace and 1 snipe. On Tuesday, the Earl of March and Mr. A. Cox had 51. brace and 2 hares. Lord Churchhill, 17 brace.

Sir Henry Meux has killed five stags at Dundreg,gan ; Mr. Digby and friends, at Kinlochewe, brought down six; Sir H. Vane, two at Fort-William. The Earl of Lich field, at Strathcouon, took down a splendid deer, with a royal head. Capt. Baring killed one with ten points, and a roebuck on the same day. On Tuesday and Friday Lord H. Bentinck, in the Avon Forest, brought down each day a fine stag. The angling in the Ness has been very good in the i u n p t p h e e r D a n u d v n ea ey bad n r in the water,l lands fourlower r p o fi ol ve s . fine L Lord grilse day ; and Mr. Jervoise is very successful in the I amek pools. Few anglers are out on the upper waters. The members of the Angling Club thrash the waters in valu e They have paid a rental of nearly 801., and have captured among them five grilse ! Two of these fell to the lot of Mr. Tolmie, who took the first this season and the first clean fish in spring : two more were taken by Andrew Mackenzie, " The Northern Switcher," who fishes every day for Mr. Tait ; and the fish fell to the lot of Captain Mackenzie, R.E. Mr. Lowe, usually so successful, has taken nothing in the Club waters. Mr. Edmunds is in the same plight, though both have had good sport in the upper pools. Many fish are running up the river still. One noble fellow of 381bs. was taken in the Friar's shot on Tuesday. A very curious fact has been observed this year at the fishings at the mouth of the Ness. nisb N ne o eo t nt , tehpeeeernha slightestapn s perhaps, for t sta ohkd ele t oon h i uwfib r sht t hd y e uronerf y ie n e avt a ghne r dret s i hera e h ol unu a Wnln v dhg e t 1 whole the aul so es o ac Ise season, on m aadbsa a uos n : ant : : There salmo danc e, till Saturday butthe Ia Ness st t w h a a s t They hung about the mouth of the stream and we: ." fri th ar e k y ab d l i e sa i p s,. th su ou d s d a e n n cl iy s_by al t rn b o e s n t el i s i . o W ne ha n t ig is ht r - e t t h ak at en ve in ry peered, without having ascended the river at all.
