Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Pc.c., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting frt,m certain habits. irregularlies and excesses, Which have produced more misery in Youth, eegradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of L i fe , than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pa thologists. Its peruis 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 that all men should know, that there are principles of personal manai,ternent which cannot be violated with out Incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdo m and re g ret succeed the heyd a y of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may he removed, a_rid how the evil and its consequences may he avoided , an d above all, that there is scarcely any decree o' ;`-ysical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science can n ot a pp l y a cure. The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive Practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which are unfortunately teen too generally confided to the care of ignorant em _ Pities, who inflict great injury on those who ar e induced to p lace taith in pretensions.

HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.--On Saturday the second fete for the season of the Horticultural Society came off at Cheswick. This fete had been originally fixed for Saturday next ; but, in consequence of that day being appointed for the opening of the Crystal Palace at Sydenhom, last Saturday was substituted. The wea ther, though fine, was cold, and scarcely propitious for a floral exhibition, and, consequently, though some 4,000 or 5,000 persons were assembled, the company was not He numerous as might have been expected. the musical arrangements were under the direction of Mr. Godfrey, and comprised the united powers of the bands of the Coldstream, Grenadier, and Ist Life Guards, who, at the conclusihn of the fete, performed, in a most ef fective ttyle, " Partant pour la Syrie" and " God save the Queen." The flower-beds and shrubs in the gar dens and the turf are in the most luxuriant order. The specimens exhibited for the prizes were of the highest excellence, the fruits being particularly fine. They were arranged, as usual, beneath separate marquees, the novel plan adopted in the Regent's Park of placing the whole collection beneath one enormous canopy of canvass being considered scarcely practicable at this place, on account of the difficulty of securing a founda t oopoles, &c., for so extensive an erec tion, gardens at Cheswi c k b e i ng of a ver y in the htehe soil earth o ft tine different nature from that at the grounds of the Botani cal Society. It was also considered more in keeping with the nature of the exhibition to have the specimens arranged separately, according to their classes, shan brought together in one mass, for the sake of mere dis- play and gorgeousness of effect. A vast number of medals were distributed. The successful competitors for the gold ones were—Messrs. Williams, Woolley, Carsan, Veitch, Rollisson, Green, Barter, Fra zer, Gilliam, Speed, Over, Peed, Fleming, Tegg, Tur ner, Dobson, Lane, and Francis, The arrangements of the police were go od, order was well p r eserved , and there were no accidents from the crowding of the car ; rages and company on the road, or to the entrances to the grounds. AUSTRALIAN EMIGRATION. —SOUTHAMPTON, Saturday. The Tantivy, of 1,010 tons, owned by Messrs. Anthony and Robertson of Liverpool, and commanded by Cap tain St. Brewster, left the docks yesterday afternoon, with 398 Government emigrants on board under charge of Surgeon-Superintendent J. G. Moir, who is now on his third voyage in the service of the cornissioners. There will be no lack of work for the emigration officer lowed by the Pestong ee Bomangee, on the 13th, for at this port for some little time, as this ship is to be fol- Adelaide ; the Joshua, on the 16th, for Geelong ; the Esmeralda, on the 20 th , for Perth, West Australia ; the Ellenborough, on the 22d, for Newcastle, New Sour Wales ; the Emigrant, on the 27th, for Adelaide ; the Anelo-Saxon, on ,the 7th of July, for Sydney ; and the Flora M'Donald, on the 11th of July, for Portland Bay. ' I The Kington, a very fine clipper-ship, was despatched by Messrs. Dawson and Arrow, on the 26th ult., w i t h a full compliment of emigrants for 11obart Town. . - MORE TREASON IN THE OAMP. ( From the ifo;ning Herald.) Once more we emphatically direct the atten- tion of Parliament and the country to the state ment that has been made, that assurances have been given by our Government to Austria and Prussia that, under no circumstances, will Eng land seek to disturb the present territorial posi- tion or weaken the political influence of Russia ; in other and more familiar, although less intern- gible words, that we are making war in order to conclude a peace upon the status quo. It is now a fortnight since a distinct and cir cumstantial, and at the same time most positive statement to this effect was given to the public in the pages of our weekly cont em p orar y the Press. It has never been denied. Lord Aberdeen can- not affect to despise the journal in which the ac- cusation is made. He juts made statements of that journal of far less importance the subject of denial and invective in his place in the House of Lords. The issue is a simple one. Has Lord Aberdeen given such an assurance, or has he not ? If he has not, nothing is easier than the denial. Why is that denial withheld ? The. Press of Saturday substantially repeats the accusation, supplying some additional circum- stances, and again attributing to this transaction the recal of the Prussian ambassador at our court. We copy the following from the Press of Saturday. The charge is one that cannot be too generally known or to& often made the subject of comment : " The accounts from the Continent are unfa vourable. Austria, as we have always warned the readers of the Press, declined to join in any active co-operation with England and France. Prince Metternich observed, a few days back, that the solution of the question is at Vienna ; and that the present is not to be looked upon as a state of war, but rather of a disorganised diplomacy.' " All this means another campaign of protocols ending with the status quo. We hear from Vienna that the Cabinet of Lord Aberdeen is on this subject in as thick a fog as Napier in the Baltic. " The recal of M. Bunsen elicits the revelation of fresh scandals. It appears that a secret agent of the King of Prussia visited this country at the commencement of the year, and placed himself immediately in communication with Lord Aber deen, who was well acquainted with him. Ac cording to his custom, Lord Aberdeen kept these communications secret from his colleagues, till it became advisable that Lord Clarendon, who re presents the credulity of the Cabinet, should un consciously assist in the connivance. Lord Clarendon, perplexed and alarmed, whispered the circumstances to a colleague who was anti- Russian. The colleague betrayed the affair to ivl. Bunsen, who in a panic telegraphed to M. Man teuffel, the first Minister of the King of Prussia. There was a great eselandre. The affair was hushed up, as such affairs always are. The secret agent was disavowed, and privately recalled. Had he remained and succeeded there would probably have been no war. The anti-Russian party in the Cabinet was triumphant. M. Bunsen walked on tiptoe and drew up plans of a new territorial ar rangement, and Lord Aberdeen remained irritable and moody. The Prussian Plenipotentiary, how ever, received in due time his reward, and IL Bunsen's very fine collection of bronzes is now for sale." We attach importance to this as repeating more circumstantially, if possible, the original statement that Lord Aberdeen has given to the German despotic powers an assurance that in the conflict the position of Russia shall not be harmed. Now, we ask again, and we shall continue the question until it is answered, has such an assur ance been given ? We have already pointed out the corroboration which the statement has received from the memorandum presented to the Germanic Diet. We might have gone further back, and reminded our readers that more than a year ago the organ of Lord Aberdeen declared that the object of the Ministry was so to conduct the dis pute with Russia as not to weaken her position, lessen her influence, or take from her prestige in Europe. At the time when this un-English policy was avowed we energetically protested against it, as a betrayal to the fears of despotism of the great cause of European independence. We have seen all our negociations evidently conducted on that principle. Is it possible that an assurance has been given that even the operations of war are to be guided by the same ? There is ono man in the present Cabinet whose personal honour is involved in having this matter cleared up. On this night week Lord John Rus sell justified—we will not say unsuccessfully justi fied—his continuance in the Government by the necessities of the war. But he made two condi tions essential to that con ti n uance. He would remain, he said, as long as the Ministry energeti cally carried on the war. But this was not all : He added—we cannot help thinking with a deeper significance than was at the time understood—as long as he had confidence that they would seek those conditions of peace which alone could be safe and honourable. The words were remarkable ; they were evidently guarded ; they were intro duced where apparently they were not called for ; they were these : " I cannot, of course, pretend, after what has passed to-night, that we' have been generally suc cessful in the measures that we have proposed. I think we are engaged at present in a most difficult task apart from any measures of reform of Parlia ment, of oaths, or of corrupt purposes. Should I be of opinion that the conduct of th e war is not safe in the hands of the present Governiftent—that that Government is not carrying on the war with that vigour which makes war successful, and with a view to a peace which alone could be safe and honourable, from that moment I s hould cease to be a member of it. But, sir, considering that that is the great and the pressing question of the coun try, no taunts of the right hon. gentleman would make me leave the Government with which I am connected—a position, God knows, of mere labour and anxiety than of any pleasure, profit, .or emolu ment. I repeat, that unless I were convinced that the present Government is more likely than any Government which could be formed to carry on the war successfully, and to conclude it by an honourable peace, I should cease to be one of its members ; but so long as I have that opinion I shall trust to the house and to the country for putting a fair interpretation upon my conduct. I rely upon that justice of a country which, while it is most enlightened, is, at the same time, some times misled with regard to the conduct of public men. I rely upon that justice which hardly ever fails to construe rightly the actions of public m en . ,, These were high and lofty words. They were worthy of a British statesman. There was an earnestness and a sincerity in them that bore up the speaker against even the fiery torrent of sar castic invective with which he had been assailed. But they contained a pledge, not only that the war should be vigorously prosecuted, but that it should be so prosecuted with a view to enf orce those conditions of peace " which alone would be honourable and safe." Twice the noble lord re peated the expression of " an honourable peace." Twice he assured the country that he would not remain in the Ministry if they were not resolved to enforce this. We will only now say, that if, in the face of this, Lord Aberdeen has, in truth and in fact, given the assurance so distinctly and so confidently imputed to him, and if, borne down by the weight of that guilty pledge, he still continues First Minister of the Queen, then is Lord John Russell as well as the country most cruelly betrayed. In the name of common honesty, if the state ment be without foundation, let it be denied. THE NEW SUGAR DIITIES.—Ori Saturday the New Sugar Duties Bill was printed. From the 26th ult. the new duties will be, on every hundredweight, 16s. on candy brown or white refined sugar, 14s. on white clayed, 12s. on yellow Muscovado and brown clayed, 118. on brown Muscovado, and 48. 6d. on molasses. -s-~~~' MONTEAGtLE MOONSIIINE. Not wholly oblivious of some pungent remarks made by Mr. Gladstone on a recent occasion, to which he has found it impossible or inconvenient to give a direct re ply, Lord Monteagle has sought a battleground by an ticipating the future, and striving to demolish before hand a scheme which he attributes, with what justice we know not, to the present Ministry. Until the matter has undergone full discussion—until everything has been heard which can be said on either side—it would be pre- mature to pronounce decidedly as to what the future relations of the Government and Bank of England should be; but we may, at any rate, examine the arguments adduced in favour of the present state of things, and de termine on what foundation they rest. Lord Monteagle comes forward in the character of an optimist. The present state of things is perfectly right, and any change would, according to him, be rash, dangerous, unsound, and empyrical. It is absolutely necessary, as he thinks, for the preservation of public credit—for preserving our metallic currency from debasement and our paper cur rency from over-issue—that we should continue, as hitherto, to pay the dividends on the public debt, and to receive our revenue as it accrues, not through the medium of a public office, but through that of a joint stock company with interests utterly discordant to our own, and pretensions which seriously impair the dignity and curtail the power of Government in the management of its own financial concerns.. It is further necessary, according to the same high financial authority, that we should pamper this favoured agency with all manner of exclusive privileges and lucrative preferences above the other banking establishments of the country, that we should intrust to it the exercise of the prerogative of issuing money, taking as security for such issue our own stock held by it, on which it receives interest from us—that is, in plain language, that we should lend to it for nothing the money which we borrow from it at inte rest, and that we should, in further extension of this beneficent principle, keep a large balance in its hands, and, at the same time, pay interest to it for lending us ' the said balance. That this is all exactly as it should be is Lord Monteagle's thesis ; let us see how he sup ports it. In the first place, Lord Monteagle knows no instance in which the management by Government of its own monetary affairs has not ended most calamitously, the inference being, of course, that a similar calamity would follow if the English Government were to be so rash as to meddle with this part of its own business. The in stance alleged by Lord Monteagle—the debasement of the gold and silver coinage—is an unfortunate one, be cause it shows that, in this respecl - , our Government has been an exception and an example, and that, while other countries have tampered with their currency, we have not. No doubt, if the coinage had been in the hands of a minting company, enjoying all manner of privileges and monopolies, there would have been found Monteagles to allege that it would be impossible to pre serve the standard of the coin if Government were to take the manufactory into its own hands, but the fact is the other way, and we have to thank Lord Monteagle for suggestinian excellent argument against himself. Lord Monteagle next demolishes a chimaera of his own creation. He says it would be extremely dan gerous for Government to act as bankers and issuers of paper money. We agree with him in the first part of his proposition, but no oue except Lord Monteagle en tertains such an idea. Government ought not to under take the business of a private banker, nor to enter into competition with its own subjects ; we need no argu ment to persuade us of that ; but Government may, if it think proper to do so, issue paper money, keep its own cash, and pay its own debts with its own hand. The first it virtually does already, for in issuing bank-notes the Bank of England only acts as its agent, the sole dif ference being that the profit of the issue, which ought to belong to the Government as representative of the public, is wholly absorbed by the Bank. Why should it be more perilous to issue money directly than through an agent, and what danger there would be in desisting from borrowing our own money we cannot imagine. Lord Monteagle is afraid that, if Government took its own monetary affairs into its own hands, it would be com pelled to abandon principle, and sacrifice its real practical duties to a temporary expediency and to some exigent, but partial interest. From this we are to infer that the present system of double management is free from such objections, a proposition absolutely necessary to Lord Monteagle's argument, which, with singular inconse quence, he demolishes himself, by showing how often the Bank has been compelled to yield to the exigencies of the Government, and how little the device of placing sound principles under the protection of a joint-stock com pany has availed. The conclusion tt the Bank is no effectual barrier to a profligate Government is not only proved by experience, but commends itself to reason. Neither double action nor divided responsibility are favourable to a strict observance of principle. Men will do through agents what they would not do directly, and agents will do for their principals what they dare not do for themselves. Lord Monteagle is not happy in his allusion to the report of the Small Arms Committee. No doubt that report is a compromise, and a compromise not very cre ditable to the body from which it emanated ; but it is not, as has been represented, a refusal to undertake the manufacture of small arms for her Majesty's army. On the contrary, the report concedes the principle of a Go vernment manufacture, and recommends the introduc tion of machinery at Enfield, but does not wish it to be carried to such an extent as to interfere essentially with the profits of those contractors who have used their power over the Government so unworthily. If we are to follow out this precedent, we ought to have two issues of paper money—one at the Treasury, the other at the Bank—with a double apparatus for paying and receiving, and to ascertain which ),s the better by the competition of the two methods. It matters not whether the existing privileges were conceded with a corrupt view to the interests of the Bank, or with a mistaken view of the interests of the public. The result is in either case the same, and we are not concerned with motives, but with effects. Lord Monteagle states that the principle established by the discussions of 1844 was, that it was impossible to have one central bank of issue to manage the circulation. We appre hend that the possibility and desirableness of such a state of things was the very principle on which that act was established, and which its provisions carried out. In order to restrict the unbridled license of issuing paper money, that privilege was confined to existing banks of issue, and, still further to limit it, was restricted to the amount of the issues of 1844. If the principle was not established in all its integrity, it was because private and personal inter es t s intrvened, not because any one thought that the power of regulating the currency was better placed in many hands than one. Experience had abundantly shown that the mere convertibility of paper into gold was not a sufficient protection against over issue. The currency should be elastic as well as conver tible—should contract and expand with the efflux and influx of the precious metals, and this it can never do while a number of banks are concerned to fill up the void left by the diminished circulation of others. The prin ciple that there ought to be a central issue of paper money is, with all submission to Lord Monteagle, firmly esta blished by reason, by experience, and by authority ; but we admit that this proposition is not decisive—nay, has no bearing on the relations between the Government and the Bank. Had it not been for an oversight in Sir Ro bert Peel's bill, which left the Bank of England without any interest in extinguishing the issues of private banks, we should, probably, ere this have witnessed the very consummation which Lord Monteagle declares to be impossible: Lord Monteagle's last argument is, that the Bank of England is perfectly staUe. No one that we know of doubts the fact, and we are surprised that it should be treated as a matter of controversy. But certainly its stability and its utilityas a Government organ are by no means increased by uniting the Government agency with the operations of a private banking esta blishment, liable to loss like other establishments, and actually involved at one time with American debts to the amount of two millions. A Government establish ment which shall issue paper money in exchange for gold, and gold in exchange for paper, which shall receive all that Government has to receive, and pay all that Government has to pay, would posses 3 every element of security and economy, would expose public credit to no danger, and would have several advantages peculiar to itself. The responsibility would be one and undivided. The sum which would be found by experience to remain as the permanent surplus of receipts over payments, amounting to we know not how many millions, would be available for the payment of debt or any other pur pose. There may be disadvantages sufficient to counter balance these obvious recommendations, but, most as suredly, those disadvantages Lord Monteagle has entirely failed to indicate.—Times.

AUSTRO-PRUSSIAN KNAVERY The general impression produced by the publication of the Austro-Prussian treaty, and of the Vienna proto col, appears to have been perfectly just. It was obvious that a convention to which devoted adherents of Russia were parties could not be intended to precede an active co-operation with the Western Powers. Not only Prussia, but Bavaria itself, may accept all the recent diplomatic documents as perfectly safe and innocent. It seems to have been arranged that the invader should undertake, in defe rence to the German Powers, to withdraw his forces be hind the Pruth ; only his partisans are once more stipu lating that he shall, in the first instance, be allowed to save his credit by some conspicuous military success. Were this understanding allowed to be carried into effect, Russia would have proved, in the estimation of the timid and the sycophantic, that a coalition of all Europe was barely able to arrest her progress for the moment ; and the world would remain in doubt whether the retreat of her armies was the result of moderation, or of a prudent regard to her own security. It was probably in antici pation of the capture and subsequent abandonment of Silistria that Prussia suggested, as the future case of war, the advance of the Russian armies beyond the Bal kan ; and the whole arrangement coincides in a remark. able degree with the singular assertion of an English journal—an assertion, however, which events have already disproved—that the allied armies were not to ad. vance until the Danubian fortresses had been taken by the enemy. Such a scheme for a campaign could only have been suggested on diplomatic grounds. It was simultaneously stated in the German papers, that the Czar had promised Austria that his army should not advance beyond Trajan's Wall and Silistria. We are as yet unable to judge how far the summons which Austria has addressed to the Czar to evacuate the Principalities, " within a time to be specified by him self," is to be regarded as indicative of an approac hin g rupture ; but it is certain that the reasons which render probable an ultimate accordance of the German Powers with France and England still remain in full force. It has suited the purposes of four great States to place on re cord their undoubted unanimity on one point, which is for the moment of no practical importance ; but it is left to circumstances to disclose the three different direc tions in which their real policy diverges. Prussia de sires peace, combined with the nominal integrity of Turkey, and with the preponderance of the Power whose patronage and protection she habitually courts. Austria wishes for peace, for the freedom of the Danube, and for the independence of the Porte—desiring, at the same time, to attain all these objects without inflicting any humiliation on Russia. Finally, England and France wish to terminate the war as soon as they have obtained substantial security against its renewal, and proved that the peace of Europe is not to be disturbed with impunity. The obstinacy and bad faith of the enemy are constantly bringing nearer that alliance with the Western Powers the necessity for which the Government of Vienna is anxious, if possible, to supersede. The invading army will never retire from the Principalities until its position in advance of the Russian frontier becomes untenable on military grounds , and the sham fight projected by neu trals and by amateur partisans of peace will not suit the purpose of either belligerent. At the same moment that Austria apparently relaxes her precautions on the north-eastern frontier, she takes measures to counteract the revolutionary agitation which Russian agents have long been propagating in the south. A convention with the Porte has been signed at Constan tinople, with the approval of the Western Powers, by which Austrian troops are at once to occupy Albania and Montenegro, and even, in certain contingencies, Servia itself. England and France evidently concurred in the treaty for the purpose of ov erc o m i ng th e reasona bl e ob jections which Turkey has hitherto entertained against foreign occupation. Safe in the guarantee of its allies against any abuse of the permission given to the Court of Vienna, the Turkish Government will be able to di rect against the enemy the troops which have hitherto been employed in watching Montenegro, and maintain. ing the tranquillity of Albania. Russia, on the other hand, will take good care to abstain from treating the alliance of Austria with the Porte as an act of hostility against herself.—Morning Chronicle. The contingency to which we alluded on Saturday, as exceedingly probable, is one to which it is important that the public mind of this country should be directed. If, as we then stated, Russia should obey the summons of Austria and Prussia to evacuate the Principalities, in terms of their engagement to the Czar to maintain the in tegrity of his empire and to uphold his - political position as one of the leading Powers of Europe,—the Courts of Vienna and Berlin will be bound to redeem their pledge. France and England, on the other hand, have entered into a treaty, mutually bind►ng themselves to exact " mate rial guarantees" from the Czar against any further at tempt to disturb the peace of Europe, and at the same time so to cripple him as that be shall not, even were be so disposed, be hereafter i❑ a position to molest other countries. Here, then, it is difficult to perceive, sup posing that Austria and Prussia adhere to their pledges to Russia, and F►:ance and England prove equally true to themselves, --how a collision on the battle-field be tween the German and the Western Powers can be avoided. This is a new and grave aspect of the Eastern ques tion. It is one to which the attention of Parliament ought to be directed immediately after the recess, in order that the:country may be informedjwhat course it is intended to take in the contemplation of so serious an eventuality as that of Austria and Prussia becoming our open enemies, and resisting with force the means to which we may resort to exact, in terms of the treaty between France and England, those material guarantees for the future good conduct of the Czar, which may be deemed indispensable. What we are most apprehensive of is, that the West ern Powers may not take the same view of what con stitutes adequate " material guarantees" as the country does. They may be disposed to accept of guarantees which would be so only in name. But the country will not be so easy to please. It will require guarantees which shall be so in reality. We have, on more than one occasion, specified some of the ways in which the capacity of the Czar for future mischief may be abridged. Finland must be wrested from his hands—the Crimea must cease to be a portion of his dominions—the Black Sea must be thrown open to the navigation of all nations, instead of being a Russian lake—and the mouths of the Danube must be placed under other control than his. These are some of the material guarantees which must be exacted by France and England from the Czar. There are others on which it may be necessary to insist, but which will be dependent in some measure on circum stances. But material guarantees alone will not meet the ne cessities of the case, The Autocrat must be compelled to indemnify France and England to the uttermost farthing, for the expenses to which they have been put in checking his ambition and chastising his insolence. To this point the people of England will attach the greatest importance. Without his being made to pay all the expenses of a war which is entirely the result of his own reckless provocation, the nation will never be satisfied. No matter how unexceptionable the terms of peace otherwise, it will be felt that if Nicholas be not made to defray every farthing of the expenses which have been incurred, there will be no poetic justice in the mode of dealing with him. More than three months ago wo endeavoured to arouse the country to a sense of the importance of call ing on Parliament to render imperative on Ministers the obligation to demand adequate material guarantees from the Czar, on the conclusion of peace, for his future good behaviour, and of also insisting that he should be made to pay the expenses of the war. We are glad to find that the advice which we then gave, though not immediately acted on, was not lost on those for whom it was intended. The people are beginning to r espond to the appeal which we made to them. On Friday night, a petition was presented to the House of Commons from the inhabitants of Corven, in Wales, calling on the Legislature to demand from on the conclusion of peace, m aterial guarantees against future aggression by di m inishing her military and geo graphical resources. The p etitioners also insist on it, that she be compelled to pay all the expenses of the war. The inhabitants of this small town in Wales de serve well of their country, for being the first to take this patriotic step. Their public spirit ought to put the citizens of large towns to the blush. We should have thought that there would have been a patriotic rivalry among the populous towns of Great Britain as to who should be the earliest and most ener getic in calling on Parliament to require of Minis ters that they shall exa c t the necessar y material guaran tees from the Autocrat, for the preservation of - peace for the time to come, and that he be made to pa y all the expenses to which we have been put in pro secuting the war against him. It has unhappily bee otherwise. Neither London, nor any other of the large towns, has yet stirred a step in this matter. The honour of being the first to set the example belongs to a small and comparatively unknown town in Wares. It is an honour of which it may well be proud. It is an i nci (lent in this war which will not be overlooked, when its history comes to be recorded. The nature of the terms on which peace will be esta blished, when the Czar is vanquished, will depend en tirely on the country itself. Those terms are in the hands of the people. If the latter are passive, the Autocrat will come off triumphantly in reality, though nominally suffering a defeat. The conditions of peace will be everything he could wish, in the circumstances of the case. They will neither wound his sensibilities on the score of honour, diminish his territory, or abridge his power. Neither will he be asked to pay the expenses incurred in prosecuting the war against him. He will, to use a homely, but expressive phrase, be let off easily. But we cannot believe that the people will remain pas sive under the circumstances. They must, and will, speak out. This is their bounden duty. - they but perform it promptly and well, proper material d he m will be guarantees will be exacted from the Czar, so crippled as to be rendered ever afterwards incapable of any further senora mischief.--Morn ing Advertiser.. The Senate had adopted a resolution directing inquiry as to the propriety of making permanent provision for rewarding those who may rescue life and property on board American ships, and particularly the captain and crew of the Washington, who recently brought to this port the passengers of the wrecked ship Winchester. The House of Representatives had passed the Ne braska Bill by a majority of 9 votes; it was read a first time on the M. According to the New York Herald, the Secretary of the Navy, probably in consideration of the unsettled state of the relations with Spain, had issued an order directing that all vessels of war on the point of da. parture should be delayed. The Senate had adopted a resolution offered by Mr. Clayton, to the following effect :—"That the Committee on Foreign Relations be instructed to inquire into the expediency of providing by law for such restrictions upon the power of American Consuls residing in the Spanish West India Islands as will prevent the abuse of the American flag in protecting persons engaged in the African slave trade." The Earl of Elgin had arrived at Washington. His visit, according to the American journals, is connected with the negotiations respecting the fisheries. Mr. Everett had resigned his position of senator in Congress, owing to physical infirmity. From Mexico the accounts are conflicting. It is stated that Santa Anna was on his return to the capital and that his wife had set out to meet him. It was in ferred that Acapulco had been taken and occupied by the army, and also that Santa Anna had re-established his communication with the city. Another account, however, and a later one, states that Santa Anna summoned Acapulco to surrender, which was refused by Alvarez, who sallied out, attacked Santa Anna's troops, and took 300 prisoners. Santa Anna fled. The United States had arrived at New Orleans, from Aspinwall ; the Illinois sailed the same day for New York, with $700,000. The news from California was down to the Ist ult. ; the San Francisco markets were dull, and the prices of leading articles depressed. The steamer Gazelle had exploded on the Columbia river, killing 20, and wounding 30 persons. Accounts from the mining districts were flattering. Colonel Fremont arrived on the 16th of April ; his party was completely broken up, only 20 men being left, the rest having deserted after crossing the Colorado. Mr. Dillon, the French consul, having been arrested and brought into court to testify in the case of the Mexican r•cruiting, had struck his flag, and declined to raise it without instructions from France. The Mexican con sul was found guilty, but recommended to mercy. According to advices from Honduras, the Congress had ratified a contract, granting the Honduras Railway . 2,500,000 acres of valuable lands, to aid in the construc tion of the work. _ Y•v On the 17th of April severe earthquakes occurred in the State of St. Salvador, nearly destroying the capital ; many of the principal buildings and about 600 families were buried in the earth.

Two isolated cases of cholera oc curred at Jamaica. Mr. Lovel Pennell, Deputy Com missary General of that island, died there on the 6th of May. The canes were looking well at Trinidad, and there is promise of a large crop. Present price of sugar, ss. 6d. per cwt., rising. At Barbadoes the canes are withered for want of rain, which was expected. The season in British Guiana is favourable. The scarcity of shipping is unprecedented ; double the highest freight given for years is offered. Large quantities of produce are wait ing tonnage, which makes business dull. The islands otherwise are in a prosperous condition. Great fears are entertained of the annexation of Cuba by the Ameri cans, which the planters look on as certain. The Avon has on board in all 198 passengers, among whom are the Bishop of Jamaica and Lieut.-Col. Far quharson, from Jamaica ; Captain Deshon, 48th Regt., and lady, from Barbadoes; and Captain Henderson and Ensign Harrison, Ist West India Regiment, from Ja maica; and Mr. Bennett, engineer, in charge of surveys on the Pacific side of the Darien Canal. Mr. Osborne, banister, of Bristol, died on board on the Ist of June. The Avon brings from Havannh 30 emancipados for conveyance to Lagos and Liberia ; among them are some who were purchased on the coast of Guinea 20 years since by a Spanish trader, and conveyed with 300 other slaves to Cuba, where they were sold. Some of the emancipados have recently paid as much as 600 dollars for their freedom. There is also on board a son of General Obando, who, with his Ministers, was put into prison at Bogota by General Melas, the dictator. General Mosquera bad offered his services to the Government in opposition to Melas, and in favour of the constitution. The Pacific Steam Navigation Company's steamer Bogota arrived on the sth of May, at noon, at Panama, bringing 40 passengers, $300,000, and advices to the following dates :—Valparaiso, 15th of April ; .Copiapo, 17th ; Islay, 21st ; Callao, 26th ; Payta, 29th ; and Guayaquil, the Ist of May. Her mails by the Clyde were not received by the Avon previous to her de parture. The Royal Mail Steampacket Company's steam-ships Clyde, from the Spanish Main, Conway, from the islands, Dee, from the Gulf of Mexico, Derwent, from Jamaica, and Solent, next proceeding to the Gulf, were at St. Thomas's. The Teviot was on the Spanish Main route. The Wye was on No. 5 route to the islands. The Plata, from England, arrived at St. Thomas's on the 17th of May. Her Majesty's sloop Calypso was lying at Barbadoes on the 12th of May. She was the only English man-of• war among the Windward and Leeward Islands. The Virago had left Panama for Callao, en route to Valparaiso, with despatches for the Admiral, conveying the first news of the war. She hoped to fall in with the Russian frigate Diana. It was rumoured that the squadron was to rendezvous at the Sandwich Islands. The cargo of the Avon consists of 74 serene of cochi neal, 216 serous of Peruvian bark, 22 serons of jalap, 2 bales of sarsaparilla, 2 packages of vanilla, and 244 packages of sundries. The total value of specie in dollars from various ports is 2,000,000. The Avon has experienced strong contrary winds on the homeward passage. She went into Fayal on the 29th of May and obtained 81 tons of coal, and came into Plymouth short of fuel. THE ATTEMPTED SUICIDE AT THE PALACE.—From the interest felt in the fate of Mr. Norton, several per sons, including members of the aristocracy, made in- quiries at the Palace on Saturday. Up to a late hour on Saturday night it was reported that the medical at tendant on the unfortunate man entertained hopes of his recovery. THE FRAUDS UPON THE MANCHESTER AND SHEF FIELD RAILWAY COMPANY.— The charge against John \Vicky Stables, the late law adviser of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway Company, of apply ing to his own use upwards of 11,0001. of the moneys belonging to the company, was proceeded with before the magistrates at Manchester on Thursday, after a remand of three days. The offences charged against the pri soner included embezzlement, false pretences, and for gery. Mr. Ovens, barrister, and Mr. Guy, solicitor, at tended for the prosecution ; and Mr. Metcalf, barrister, and Mr. G. H. Lewis, solicitor, both of London, ap peared for the defence. It appears that th e prisoner was appointed to the office of law clerk to the com pany at the end of 1850, at a salary of 8001. per annum, and an allowance of 2001. for clerks and ex penses—offices and everything requisit e f or use b e ing found on the company's premises. 1853 his salary was raised t o 1 000A1 t the beginning of the same allowances as b e f ore. He le sery ice in July last, and a subsequent investigation the company'sienr annum, with by h Mr. Guy, his successor ' led to the discovery of the de falcations with whi c h he now stands charged. They con sist of sums he bad received t o p a y i n t o the hands of the Account-General, and to landowners for land settlements. payments Most of th ese were i vouchedittedin this a t way the the frauds h ave been committed re ceipt_ given by th e A ccoun t an t-G enera l for : deposits is filed in the office, and a copy only of that receipt is g iven to the person paying in the money. The copies handed in by Stables to the company were spurious copies, but, of course, there existed no means of detecting the frauds, except by a special application to the office of the Accountant-General. After a long examination, the prisoner was committed for trial, and all applications for bail were refused. LIVES OF THE QUEENS OF ENGLAND. By AGNES STRICKLAND. Cheaper Edition. Vol. 6,—" This is one of the most pleasing of Miss Strickland's interesting volumes. It is devoted to the life of the beautiful and unfortunate Mary Beatrice, of Modena, Queen of James 11. The biography of this Princess has never before been written, while the allusions to her in English history have proceeded from no friendly pens, and yet there was, perhaps, no Queen of England whose life abounds iu circumstances of more touching interest. As Miss Strick land truly remarks—' There are epochs in her life when she comes before us in her beauty, her misfortunes, her conjugal tenderness, and passionate maternity, like one of the distressed Queens of tragedy, or romance, strug gling against the decrees of an adverse destiny.' The materials for the life of the consort of the last of the Stuart Kings are chiefly derived froi a unpublished let ters and documents procured from th p secret archives of France, through the influence of M. 1 2,uizot. The light thrown by the volume on the person al history of King James, on the e e charactersday,is consid of n any of the leading personages and of IChronicle.
