The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful eon- Vequmeee resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, wh'Eth have proauced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any tether class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal i s 'Particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of 'their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary thatall men should knew, that there are Principles of personal management which cannot be violated without Incurring grievous penalties, and when tasdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self -Indulgence, how these penalties 511 aY 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 cann ot a pp ly a cure. The Author hal for a series of years been engaged in an extensive aPraqice in the treatment of these delicate complaint s, which have c fortunately teen too generally, confided to the c are of ignorant eizeirice, who inflict great injury on those who arc induced to place taith in their pretensions. j NERVOU'a i E brothers • . ) BI f ITY r- a^ to ' d t.'ce '5 , of Messrs.

The work has been so greatly extended, that the division eivitled " Street Directory" contains 152,416 names, being about THIRTY-EIGHT THOUSAND more than have ever appeared in the corrysponding division of any other book. Its distinguishing feature is, that In it all the streets, squares, crescents, &c., &c., of the metropolis and its sub , rbs appear in one general alphabetical arrangement ; it is, therefore, the only work in which the occupant of any house can be ascertained. The 152,416 names are carried into all the classifications to which they are appropriate, each in its proper alphabetical position; all the members of any profe-sion or trade, whether in the metropolis or its suburbs, are (in the" Trades" division) arranged alphabetically in one list. This being the only work in which they are so, is the only one in which all the members of any trade can be ascertained. The nobility, gentry, and professional persons resident in London and its suburbs, are included in the one general," Court" alphabetical list, now so greatly extended that it inc udes upwards of Forty-tour thousand names. An accurately compiled Conveyance Directory,' so comprehen sive as to include all the Railway stations and Money Order Offices in Great Britain, is included in the volume, which also contains a large amount of miscellaneous information, as—House of Peers, in their order of precedence—Provincial Inns, with their holders— Arr engements of the Law Courts—Names of all Postmasters in England and Wales—Periodical Publications, with their Publishers —not any part of which is to be found in any other London Direc tory.

The following personal narrative of his sufferings on a raft, after the loss of the American mail steam-ship, the Arctic, is given by James Smith, of Mississipi, in the Quebec Chronicle of the 14th of last month : I was a passenger in the Arctic. We had been out from Liverpool seven days, and were 'in about longitude 52, and somewhere about 50 or 60 miles off Cape Race, on the coast of Newfoundland, when the dreadful occurrence took place on Wednesday, Sept. 27. During the day, up to the time of the accident, the wea ther had been quite foggy, and I was somewhat astonished and alarmed several times, when on deck, seeing the weather so thick that I fancied not more than three or four of the ship's lengths ahead could be seen, and she going on at full speed, without any alarm-bell, stem-whistle, or other sig nal being sounded at intervals, in some such manner as I had been accustomed to-in a fog onother vessels. At about 15 minutes after the meridian eight bells had been struck, and while sitting in my state-room in the forward cabin, the earnest cry of a voice on deck (whom I at the moment ega l i nin e vg r di — i 1 ial giving all - the ho t e eo a . in n a .1 othersl e m rr in in a n - stepped hc the cabin could ' a ' bbee w i :l a th s ; took to be the ma n Os th e l ook-out) to " Stop her, stop heard with alarm by myself, eoaf -a rd t in t ry h n e antna s it a ne m g. r e oo off t u l i m t, o e awn t a n dr e dws n ht i ih a l n ee endeavouring, with Mr. Cook, my room-mate, to calm the excitement among the ladies in the cabin, and before the man giving the alarm on deck had reached the engine room, we were made aware of the concussion by a somewhat slight jar to our ship, accompanied by a crashing noise on our starboard-bow. It was a moment of awe and suspense; but I think we all seemed to satidy ourselves that the shock was slight, and that, as we were on so large and strong a vessel, no serious damage had happened, or could well happen to such a ship, in an occurrence of such a na ture. With such a reliance on my owl mind, at any rate, I was very quickly on deck, and, in detached accounts from other passengers, learned that a screw-steamer, with all sail set, had struck us on the starboard bow, and, glancing aft our starboard wheel and wheel-'..ones, struck her again, and she passed astern of us out of sight immediately, in the thick fog. I saw, on the first glance at oar b u l war k s , that all was right with us, but instantly began to get alarmed from our careening over on the side we had been struck, as well as from the call for the passengers to keep on the port side. I understood, also, at this time, that one of our boats had been cleared away and lowered, with our first officer and six men, to render assistance to the other vessel, and that our ship was making round in search of her also. I saw Captain Luce on the paddle-box, giving orders in one way and another, and most of the officers and men running here and there on the deck, getting into an evi dent state of alarm, without seeming to know what was to be done, or applying their energies to any one thing in particular 1 except in getting the anchors and otherheavy articlesover on to the port side of the ship. I looked over the starboard bow and saw several large breaks in the aide of our ship, from 8 to 12 or 14 feet abaft the cutwater, and I was convinced that in the 10 or 15 minutes' time our wheels were further submerged in the water than usual. Our ship seemed to right herself somewhat after getting the deck weight upon the larboard, but it was too evident that Captain Luce himself, as well as all hands, was becoming aware of our danger, and, from the tremendous volume of water being thrown out from our steam pumps, I was convinced we were making water at a fearful rate. Then came in full view before us the other vessel, presenting a most heart rending spectacle ; the whole of her bow, for at least ten feet abaft her cutwater, was literally crushed away, leav ing to all appearance an open entrance for the sea, and how she bad remained above water for so many minutes seemed a mystery. Her decks were covered with people, and all of her sails on all three of her masts were set. We merely passed her again, and she was in less than a minute hid in the fog, but scarcely out of sight when wo heard arise from her dock a loud and general wail of mourning and lamentation that told us of their burial en masse. I should think there were at least two hundred souls on the deck of that ship. It was just previous to, or at the same time that we thus came in sight of and r passed individuals her ,that i o n ur fh w e w he a e t l e s r, we a n s t w o el v l e a r s t a w b o o o a r t thanrode,cserepwa who had evidently left the other ship for safety on ours. Ono man only we picked up— an old weather-beaten French fisherman, went under n who, havingour wheel , caught m ropeth e hangingsmall r she our ship, and was finally pulled onboard of us, and from whom wo learned something of the other vessel. Captain Luce had, by the time of our coming in sight of the Vesta, be come so convinced of our own critical situation, that our only or best chance was to keep under headway as fast as possible towards the land. A deep-seated, thoughtful look of despair began to settle upon every countenance—no ex citement, but ladies and children began to collect on deck with anxious and inquiring looks, receiving no hope or con solation, wife and husband, father and daughter, brother and sister, would weep in each other's embrace, or kneel together imploring Almighty God for help. Men would go about the decks in a sort of bewilderment as to what was best to he done ; now laying hold of the hand pumps with redoubled energy, or with sickening effort applying their power to the hauling up of freight out of the forward hold, already floating in water before the lower hatches were opened. System of management or concentration of effort was never commenced or ap plied to any ono object. Two separate ineffectual at tempts to stop the leaking by dropping a sail down over the bow were made, and the engines were kept working the ship a-head toward the land ; but, in the course of , an hour, I should think, from the time of the collision, the lower furnances were drowned out and the steam ofThe first officer, with his boat's crew , we had left f u hmopws many s t o p p e h d 0 . nr Then s o r i n i t i s n e e u m t e e s d w t to become would b o o n a l y h o a , q e u w e a s t t i e o r n . behind ship, i lot p , of an d t hae general sailors, e n l e e g r i the ten as with t 0 The stern tackling of another had given way from the who should have had s f c r r o a ll O t b il e e n t 0: . rdsstae. en mo T te h hd e e rstehocaeabnted and ogffioi weight of persons in it while it was swinging over the side, places in the only two remaining boats that I saw on deck. and I think several must have been lost with that. I saw one lady hanging to the bow tackle of it after the stern had broken loose. One of those still remaining was a large one on the quarterdeck occupied by ladies and children, and some few gentlemen. The other was on the upper deck forward and in the possession of a lot of firemen. Things were in this condition at about two hours after the accident. Captain Luce was superintending the lowering of spars and yards, aided mostly by passengers, for the purpose of making a raft, and complaining that all his officers and men had left him. Most of the women and children were collected round the boat on the quarter-deck, seemingly resigned to their fate. Some few gentlemen exerted all their powers to prevail on others to work on at the pumps, but , all to no purpose ; the ship kept on gaining in quantity as steadily as time progressed. The engines had stopped working, and I, seeing that the chief engineer, with some of his assistants and firemen, had got the forward boat in the water over by the bow . , under the pretence of working at the canvass which was hanging over the bow, so as to sink it down over the leaking places, but seeing as I thought symptoms of their real intention to get off from the ship without too many in the boat, I dropped myself down near by them on a small raft of three planks about a foot wide engineers'lro each, and 10 or 12 feot long, and an inch in thickness, lashed together with some rope and four handspikes, and 1 which I had just previously helped to lower into the water for the purpose of working from about the bow of the ship. Finding it bore me up I shoved off, intending to get a b l o o a n t g , si the de engineer o f the several firemen and one or two passengers dropped into the at the same time pushed off and pulled away from the ship, with about 12 or 15 persons in his boat, declaring to g b a o g a a t 1 ,. n b s t u but theiras ld o s i h n shoved v so,ed a o ti. f off, those on board, at , the same time, th a t h o was going off, but would stay b y the ship to the last. At the same time he, er those in the boat with him, continued to pull away in what I considered was the direction of the land, and were in a few minutes lost in a fog. I now saw there was no probable ch ance for me but to remain where I was, on my frail little craft, until I could see some better chance after or before the ship went down. She had no w settled • down t o the wheel houses . The upper furnaces had for some time be en dr owsed out. People on board were doing of nothing but firing signal guns dis tress, trying to get spars overboard and tearing doors off the hinges—nothing else seemed to presen t itself, as a means of savin g th e lives of some three hundred souls stil l on board. I have crossed the Atlantic 9 times now, and nearly every previous time have had in my charge one or more of my family or near relative, but now I thanked my God that I had not even an acquaintance with me in th i s my adversity - I tightened up - my little raft as well as I could, so as to make it withstand the buffettings and strainings of the heavy rolling sea, and with the aid of a long narrow piece of plank, which I tore up off the others, nabg it • as a pa ddle, k e pt I hovering within about two hundred or three hundred yards of the sinking ship, watching operations there, and keeping myself from being drifted out of sight, so as to have what company there might be left on rafts like my own e fter our doomed vessel had sunk beneath the surface. In this position I saw three different small rafts like my own leave the ship, one of them with three, and another with two of the firemen standing erect on them, and one of the mess boys of the ship sitting on it. Those three rafts all drifted close by me, so near that I was hailed by one and another of them, with the request for us all to keep near together, to which I assented, but told them that we had all better try and keep by the ship till she went down. And this time I noticed that the large boat which had been on the quarter-deck was ie the water, and was being freighted pretty fully, to all appearance, with several women, and a good number of men, and that the raft of spars was at the, same time being lashed together, several getting on it. I noticed also a couple of large empty water casks lashed together with five men on them, apparently passengers, leave the ship, and drifting towards me, while within about 50 yards, they capsized with the force of a heavy swell, giving their living freight an almost immediate watery grave. Three of them I noticed regained the top side of the casks only to be immediately turned over again, and the casks separating I saw no more of them. My heart sickened at so much of immediate death, and still I almost longed to have been one of them, for at the same instant, and as near as I can judge at about half-past four, the ship began to disappear ; stern foremost she entered under the surface, her bow rising a little as she slowly went under, and I distinctly heard the gurgling and rushing sound of tho water filling her cabins from stem to stern as she went under, taking, I should think, from thirty seconds to a minute in disappearing, with a large num -1 ber of people still upon her deck. Thus went down the noble Arctic, leaving nothing but a mixture of fragments of the wreck and struggling human beings. I saw one large halt round fragment burst above the sur face and several of the struggling fellow mortals get on it ; this and the raft of spars with several on it, and the boat full of people, was all that I could distinctly make out as being loft in tho neighbourhood of where the ship went down to windward, and the three small rafts to leeward along with my own were left to pass the night, now beginning to close in upon and hide away from my sight—l wish I could say from my memory— this dreadful day ; but such a night of extreme melancholy despair and utter loneliness I hope I shall never again ex perience. I had, it is true, become familiarised with death, and felt as if it would be a great relief to go immediately like the rest; and for this end I, with somewhat of satis faction, thought of the phial of laudanum in my pocket, pre viously intended for a better use ; but, oh ! how unpre pared was I to soo my God, and for my family's sake how necessary I felt it was for me still to live a while longer, else would I have emptied that phial or rolled over the side of my plank most willingly. The night was cold and chilly, the dense fog was saturating my already wet clothing. I was standing up to the ankles in the water, with the waves every now and then washing me up above the knees, no hope in my mind of being drifted to the land, and in a part of the ocean where it is believed a thick fog continually hangs over the surface, precluding the hope of any chance vessel in passing near us being aware of our situation—all circumstances seemed to say, it is but a question of how long the physical frame can endure this perishing state, or how long before a more boisterous sea turns over or separates the slightly fastened planks. Thus reflecting, I offered up to Him who ruleth tho winds and the waves--to Him unto whom we all floe in our deepest distress—a sincere petition for mercy, that, as I had now been called to account, I might, notwithstanding my unworthiness, find an acceptance through the merits of Him who suffered for us, and who stands ready to aid, and who says, " Knock and it shall be opened unto you"—unto whom can we look, oh ! our God, but unto Thee ? Our whole life is, after all, but as this hour—a mere ques tion of a few short days; and what are all the mere vani ties transpiring during an ambitious and short existence compared to an assurance which makoth our latter end a fearless one ? Relieved and consoled by this, my last pe tition, I was somewhat calmly resigning myself to await my time as long as my strength and power of endurance could hold out, when I discovered close by me a large square basket lined with tin, floating lightly by me—one of the steward's dish-baskets it proved to he, and paddling up to it, I got it on board, and with the help of a piece of small rope I had round my shoulders, I lashed it pretty firmly on top of the plank, thus not only tending to make my raft more secure, but affording me a comparatively dry place to sit on the edge of it, and with my feet inside form ing a shelter for my legs up as high as my knees. After get ting this all arranged, and while sitting watching the water every now and then`• dashing over the top of it, and becom ing convinced that it would soon be partly filled and add to my discomfort, as well as to the weight of the raft, I , was again surprised to hear a distinct rattle against the side of the raft, which proving to be a small air-tight tin s tmaskth c eenn a nodyc n dyliistdf — otieehnulse,f a igosfnac p n:nrai aitdaerge,rmeolhtfeasv, else, andaael a nbdnnd s tleda fi ehioe t tdeslu f i etnsibaneienc cut such out used ut to token enanes of fn l life-preserver--I theeo-fp ip r t e r s we es with t v nh e e rem—oyflseizedmp pocket ee n rneansweredtpaoerkdo breaking the th:hieoananwl inside, nn u dfg r err purpose ivot s eht e a—ult o esh f adon w ktdeoo h eoh a mpl t ydi , ynwdg ahabovenmi sightco damp nothing wn o I n w l y a m s y enabledb feetut t and thick k o l em k g e si e : p t7 m tth y et littlehe unceasingl o ver p shelter clear of water ; find l this n th this sort little rt willow o s w i t house, uatio n wore t I r owb s oosaodywnyeasfyo some whatfound myself blast r l n a. mid day o t w he n s l u it n tl e e le b a ar re q d ue a ; w n ay ot t a he si m n ilset,v and ci. " the night closed upon was now single b e e asrt s rl e goo e lelf n io . nmfgya A ll bo el u s t e rays was truly grateful, but oh how desolate t cheerfulness seemed the prospect he thus the whole broad expanse of waters not a unfolded ! OvOr seen, not a thing save the figures of the t s w ai e l could be about half a mile distant, still standing erect and showing ren ' themselves at intervals, as every heavy swell raised them on its crest. I had not yet felt either hunger or thirst, for which I was truly thankful, for I had but a hand ful heat ini t s ' of m v that e h i rj d i his of dry broken crackers in my hat, which I felt deter mined to save to the last, and •of course no water. I dreaded the craving of either. The day wore on still clear until about an hour before nightfall, when the two firemen (within hailing distance of whom I had worked my way again) discovered a ship under full sail broadside towards us, but it was with faint hopes of success that I hoisted my handkerchief tied to the end of the strip of wood I was using as a paddle, the firemen doing the same with a shorter pieceof wood in their possession. The ship at one time, we noticed, lay to, or altered her course for a moment, giving us a hope that she had discovered something, but the night closed in again, and with it all hopes of a rescue. I passed through this night in a dozing, dreary, shivering, half sensible sort of state, with all sorts of fan cies before my drowsy and somewhat disordered mind, and all sorts of pictures in my wakeful moments, both of a pleasing and of a revolting character, floating before me on the dark surface of the water. Now and then, during the night, I fancied myself hailed by various sur reundiug parties, convinced as I was, at the same time, that none others were within hailing distance but the two firemen. My disordered fancy, however, kept me for more than half the night in an agreeable state of excitement, under the firm belief that com panies of boats' crews were on the search for us, and most lustily did I answer every fancied or real signal. The morning dawned again, and with it a horrid scene of despair at the gloomy prospect of the same dense, foggy at mosphere, now and then fully developing to view the same two erect figures dancing about on the rolling surf, and, in my selfish liberality, I bargained with myself that I would endure still during this day, seeing that my two companions, who were obliged to be on their feet support ing each other in a very precarious looking, back-to-back attitude, were able still to exist. I felt a little hungry this morning, and ate half a biscuit. While warming my self by about two hours' paddling up towards them, during which the fog partly cleared away, and while close to them, we all became excited at the sight of a sail far to the south, as I thought, but broadside towards us. Like the one on the previous evening, I had little hope of her com ing much nearer, but being determined to leave no effort untried whichmight possibly attract their notice, I stripped myself, and taking off my shirt tied it by the sleeves to the end of my paddle, aid, with my handkerchief on a small strip of wood tied on above it, I thought I had a tolerably conspicuous signal, and 'waved it to and fro for more than an hour, until the skip was nearly out of sight; and just as I had lowered it in utter hopelessness, we all descried at the same instant, in the opposite direction, another sail, and on to us, just entering, as it were, into our grand amphitheatre, through a cloud of mist that seemed to rise and clear away above the vessel, forming a grand triumphal archway around our eureka, like a tower of promise, in the centre. When within three miles of us, and about an hour and a half after she first hove in sight, we were relieved by her backing her sails, altering her course ' and lying to for a while; then, hoisting a signal on her spanker-gaff, se put about and hero away, on and en far in the distance on the opposite tack, until my heart began to fail again, doubting whether she was beating to windward for us, or had gone on her way, rejoicing in the discovery and rescue of only a portion of the unfortunate wretches within range of her. But again how light and buoyant was the joy as she at last put about, and stood directly for us ; and on and on she advanced like a saving angel, until we could see her noble-looking hull distinctly rise and fall within little over a mile distant from us, when she backed her sails again and waited for some time in the prosecution of her mission of mercy, no doubt relieving some of our scat tered companions from a like precarious state. Soon she filled away again, and at last, lying to close by the two firemen, I saw her boat lowered with five men in it, who, picking up the two firemen in their course, came dashing along directformy raft, and, soon bouncing alongside, I allowed myself to tumble on board of them, unable, physically, to adopt anything of a graceful action, and morally overpowered with gratitude to God and to those His instruments. I re mained speechless until I got on board the ship. Before getting on board, however, the boat went away off some distance to windward, and picked up the three other fire men whom I bad seen leave the Arctic, but who had been ever since out of view. We all got huddled upon the deck somehow, although rather awkwardly, and making my way down to her neat little cabin as well as my stiff feet and legs would allow, I had thepleasure of paying my respects to Capt. J. Russell, and found myself on board the ship Cambria, of Greenock, bound from Glasgow for Quebec. Capt. Russell, the Rev. Mr. Walker of the Free Church of Scotland, and his very kind and attentive wife ; Mr. Sntherland, of Caith ness-shire, in Scotland ; Mr. John M`Naught, and several of the passengers of the steerage paid us every attention that I could have desired; Captain Russell giving me up the berth which he had been usi n g himself, and p uttin g g le h . t tend n v e i l a in sur priseds the whom we had l e e v a e s r y t t t h et i o n r gleel learn er n vne b t o h a aa r nt d dt i h n me r a e ok q l de u i s uF i s t r i e o cn n oc m t h h mf a c ia t r nt m a pinked up from the Vesta was our good genius on this occasion. Being directly in the track of the approaching Cambria, he was picked up by the second mate of the Cambria, Mr. Ross, jumping overboard with a line, and, seizing hold of the old man, they were both pulled on board, and the rescued F r enchman, in the best English ho could muster, made Captain Russell aware that others were near. He then went to the masthead, and with his glass made out the other four pieces - of wreck which we were all on, and making his long tack to windward, came back in the midst of us, picking up first, from that half-round piece of wreck that I saw burst above the surface at the time of the ship going under, Captain Luce, Mr. George F. Allen, of the Novelty Works, and a young German, a passenger of the Arctic, by the name of Ferdinand Kaye. They, along with night others of those who went down with ;the ship, had gained this piece of wreck, which turned out to be a segment of one of the paddle-boxes ; and singular it seems that Captain Luce, who had stuck by his sinking ship to the last minute, was thus saved at last on the very boards which, as comman- ' der, were his post of duty. The same thing, however, , had caused the death of an interesting eon, by striking or falling on him as it burst above water. The eight others who had gained it with them had from time to time perished on it, and Mr. Kaye was on the point of making the ninth, when the Cambria hove in sight. He had be come almost a lunatic from extreme thirst, from eating biscuit soaked in sea • water, and attempting to quench t it by blood sucked from vein s in his arm, opened wih his penknife, and attempted to dr own himself several times. He had b en prevented by Capt. Luce and M l on ger endurance seemed imp ossible with him, when Mr. Allen, too, although saved himself, had too much reaso n to fear the loss of his wife and several r. Allen, Cambria appeared. the until other relatives who were on board, and whom he saw placed on the raft of spars before the ship went under.

Captain Russell feels the circumstance of his instrumen tality in the matter with great gratification on account of Captain Nye, of the Collins steamer Pacific, having some years ago run great risk in saving him and his orew from off the sinking Jessie Stevens, in a severe gale in the Atlantic. • TILE WAR .FEELING AT MANCHESTER.—The desire amongst the citizens of Manchester for intelligence from the seat of war is daily increasing. The clubs, the Ex change, tho Athenleum, the Portico, and every place in which the telegraphic despatches are published, are crowded every morning ; and on the arrival of the Lon don daily journals, the various news-rooms and news venders' shops are besieged. To satisfy this intense desire, the newsvenders have frequently found it neces sary to affix one or more of the Londo n daily papers in their windows, the contents of which are eagerly devoured by nunaciroup crowds [P RICE SD. THE INDIR, ECT TRADE WITH RUSSIA. (From the Examiner,) To [hurt our • enemy, shall we resort to measures to distress our owl t commerce ? So foolish a question does not call for answer. But really the question we have stated is it tcluded in the question that has been raised, whether it is not expedient to take steps , 4- e sup press the indirect trade with Russia ? The fact to be dealt with is that, : notwithstanding the war, we continue to get what pr w int from Russia, and that which wll not be supplie Ai to .us at the same price and of the sam e quality from any other quarter ; and the question is, whether we s b ould refuse ou rse l ves t h e supply of our wants in order ,to affect Russia with the loss of the sale of her raw mat , e rials ? The- short answer to this is, on which side woe el, 1 the balanc,sof injury li e , or which side would be the greater loser. by their common injury ? For the war of t market is like the war of the field; the battle canno t be fought witAout damage an d l oss to both buyer and s eller, and the party who suffers most in the conflict is the defeated. It would then remain to be asked whether It ussia or England was the greater gainer by the trade bets teen the two, which would be resolved into another question, about the answer to which there can be no doubt, namely, whether a trade in raw mate rials, or a trade •of manufactures, is the more valuably ? If the indirect commerce with Russia could be extin guished altogeith or, our conviction is that we should suffer more than our enemy from the common injury. And as our trado supports the war, how should we Ise the bet ter enable d to wage the war with vigour and si!c-. cess by impairini; what supports it ? But the truth is, that it is out of or'r power to suppress the Russian trade —as much out of our power to suppress our wants of necessaries as to suppress the supply of them—and all that could be done by expedients for the exclusion of Russian goods would be putting them through a more circuitous channel, or passing them through the manu factories of neutral nations to the loss of our own. If Russian tallow and Russian hemp were kept out, can dles of Russian tallow, and cordage of Russian hemp would, in Scsalsah phrase, " win in," despite of certifi cates of origin, or any other expedient for thwarting the natural laws of demand and supply. Napoleon at the height of his power tried the experi ment of damming the streams of trade, and he might as well hare attempted a millhead to Niagara. The conti nent was floochecf with English goods in response to the Milan decrees.. ----- And when, mt the breaking out of this war, the neutral ' rights were enlarged, much to the honour of the Govern ment and .the satisfaction of the country, what was ex pected but precisely what has happened ? We hailed that change as the best guarantee for keeping the war within its present bounds ; but we foresaw without any regret that ii'w effect upon the enemy's commerce would be diminutio. s, not suppression, and such diminution only as must nece: warily attend any derangement of the usual course of trad e, or passing it through an indirect channel. But displeat cure is felt that Prussia is the gainer by her mean subservioricy to Russia ; and because she is the gainer, are we, .for spite, to make ourselves losers So long as Prussia n iay be regarded as a neutral, she is en titled to the enlarged rights conceded to neutrals, and when her ill officio: or undisguised hostility shall warrant measures against her, they will be of another sort than diverting the transit of Russian goods from her territory. It is to be remembered, moreover, that Prussia is a road traversed in both directions, and that Briti s h ma nufactures find their way through it to Russia, as *ell as Russian produce to our markets ; and, with a very obvious intention, Russia has lowered its import duties upon articles entering from Prussia, among which are English manufactures. But we may be told our exports are small compared with our imports from Russia ; but comparatively small as they were, 1,200,0001., they bore an enormously en hanced value in the Russian markets, and Russia would probably lose as much in wealth in losing those imports as in loging her exports of raw produce. Still, it is not to be denied that the value of the Russian imports into this country has exceeded the value of the British exports to Russia, perhaps by some 2,000,0001. or more • but, whatever the difference may have been, it has been paid circuitously by English manufac tures, represented generally by equivalents to colonial produce. But if gold had been the commodity instead of sugar, or any other article of consumption, the only observation to be made on the fact would be that we wanted tallow, hemp, or hides, more than we wanted the gold with which we paid for them. The truth, how ever, is, that the exchange is still about par, or rather somewhat in our favour. To illustrate our argument generally, suppose we wanted a fleet rigged' to fight against the Russians. The I hulls, the masts, the yards, and spars, all are prepared, except the shrouds, the halliardA, tacks, sheets, &c. Should we, in such case, refuse ourselves the use of cordage, the raw material of which was Russian, and leave our ships to rot as lumber in port ; or should we fit them with the help of the enemy's produce, and apply them to the destruction of his power ? Every gain of our trade is so much added to our strength and our means of combating and subduing the enemy. And even if the enemy gained in the same pro portion (which we do not admit), the equality would leave us the superior strength of the superior commerce, our trade being to the Russian more than eight to one. But if we could contrive to extinguish both the Rus sian trade and our own connected with it, the effect would be like starving a strong man and a weak man before a combat, divesting the first of his superiority, and reducing both to the same level. England, it is true, has her commercial greatness independent of her trade with Russia, but why should she forego any ele ment of her strength, why impoverish herself to any de gree in order to impoverish a poor Power ? And what, after all, is the whole amount of the Russian commerce, her trade with the whole world, of which such great account is made ? Why, exports of about the annual value of 14,000,000/., and imports to the annual value of 1_2,000,0001. The present commercial relations may be temporary or not—we believe the former ; but be that as it may, we deprecate any deviation from the enlightened policy as to neutrals which has been adopted, and any iater fereace with the currents of trade for which it has opened channels. TERRIBLE EXPLOSION AND GREAT LOSS OF LIFE AT ST. GEORGE'S-IN-THE EAST. Yesterday morning, between the hours of five and six o'clock, the inhabitants of Coleman-street, St. George's in-the-East. were most painfully excited in consequence of a fearful explosion of fireworks, which, it is to be re gretted, was attended with the sacrifice of not fewer than five persons, and various injuries to several other persons, besides destroying a great deal of househ o ld furniture, wearing apparel, and other effects. It appears that for some years past a man named Watson, who carried on the business of a dairyman at No. 491, Coleman-street, had been in the constant habit of making fireworks to be sold on Guy Fawkes'-day. This season, it is stated, he had been more than usually busy, and to complete an order had been obliged to work all Sunday night. At the time alluded to above, Mr. Watson had occasion to leave the house for a few minutes, and had barely entered the yard or court at the rear of the premises, when he heard his wife crying out " Fire 1" most frantically. The man immediately made an attempt to get back into the house, knowing that his wife and several children were within the building. He managed to get half-way through the passage when an explosion ensued, which struck terror amongst all re siding in the neighbourhood. The explosion had barely subsided, when sheets of flame of different colours, with crowds of sparks, and suffocating smoke rushed out of every window. At the same time the cries of those in the house became pitiable in the extreme. A chimney-sweep, who was passing at the moment, rushee into the building and succeeded in rescuing Mrs. Watson and one of her children, whom he brought down in safety. The husband of the unfor tunate woman also made every exertion to get to his other children, who it was feared were in their beds asleep. In so doing he became surrounded with a sheet of sul phurous flame, by which his arms, face, and neck were terribly burnt, and he was at length obliged to give up the attempt as hopeless. Explosions followed in rapid succession, and when they had spent themselves, the flames rolled forth from the various windows, and also through tho roofs, shed ding a lurid glare ever the whole district, which caused a general turn-out of the London fire-brigade. The engines belonging to Well-close-square, Schoolhouse lane, Jeffrey-square, Watling-street, and Whitecross street stations were soon in attendance, and a plentiful supply of water having been procured from the mains of the East London Company, the firemen went to work most vigorously, in spite of which the flames continued to spread most fearfully, seizing upon every room in the place, clearly indicating that all who had not previously thereto been rescued must be burned to death. After the lapse of two hours the firemen succeeded in getting th e con flagration extinguished, when th ey m a d e a search of the ruins for the purpose of findin g the mis sing persons.

By a letter from Malta, dated the 27th ult., her Ma jesty's steamer Valorous is reported to have arrived there that day at 8.m., having left the Rock on the evening of the 21st of the same month. They report her having had a very heavy passage out ; strong westerly cross sea swells were encountered crossing the bay. The medical officers for the army in the East who took passage by her were quite prostrated by sea sickness. The Valorous only remained at Malta one day. She left on the 28th at 6 p.m. laden on both decks with as much powder and provisioxs as she could carry. On her passage out she passed the Salamander on the 20th off Cape St. Vincent, and on the same day she passed the screw-steamer Danube; both these vessels were homeward bound. There was no man-of-war either at the Rock or Malta on her arrival at those places. MILITARY.

SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING TVE AMEND- MENT OF THE LAW. A general meeting of this society was held last eve ning at the rooms in Regent-street, Edward Cooke, Esq., in the chair. After some preliminary business, the society proceeded to the notice on the agenda, "To read a paper on partnership, on the principle of limited liability ; and, 2. To refer the subject, in its different relations, to the standing committees of the society." Mr. Edgar then proceeded to read the paper on part nership on the principle of limited liability. He had taken under his best consideration the principles which prevailed in the United States of America and on the the Continent of Europe ; the evils and hardships which a system of unlimited responsibility entailed on indi viduals, and‘the fetters which it placed upon legitimate speculation and commercial law. He recommended that the liability should be limited to the capital invested by each member of a firm. It was recommended that the different committees of the society should each take a branch of this subject under its care. To meet the ob jections raised by committees of the House of Commons against limited liability, he urged that there were many towns where, if the limited liability were admitted, many small capitalists would be found ready to embark in various manufactures. If there were a fear of rivalry on the part of great commercial societies, he ventured to think that the general interests of the country would always lead to new markets for enterprise and the in vestment of capital. He advocated the principle of limited liability, because it would enable the working classes to unite together, and to join with their employ. ers, while it would tend to the general advantage and happiness of the working classes. Tho learned gentle. man's paper was cordially received ; and, after some discussion, the matter was referred to the committee on the commercial law, with a request from the society that they do take the same into consideration as soon as possible. Also that Messrs. Pitt, Taylor, Collier, and Power be requested to act as members of such commit tee. The paper was ordered to be printed. SPECIE FOR EXPORT. —The entire of the gold brought by the Europa from the United States on Sunday, 205,00 dole., was on account of Havre merchants, and was transhipped per Commodore, which was to sail on Monday evening from I.iverpool for ~~~c-C /, ~, THE PATRIOTIC _FUND.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE WEST LONDON _RAILWAY. at Yesterday l a v n e n q g u t e o s n t , was iv h e e r l s d ity b - e s f t o r r e e et, M T n r o . V e aY court-road, on th e b o d y of Charles Turner, aged 26, a breakstuan in th e emp l oy o f t h e L on d on an d N or th- Western Railway Company. James Turner, brother of the deceased, having iden tified the body, Frederick Laker was sworn. lie deposed that he was under-breaksman, and had been employed for some time under deceased. Os Friday last, ein arriving between Kilburn and Sudbury, on the junction of the London and North-Western Railway, deceased got over the top of some coal waggons for the purpose of unhooking a portion of the train which was to remain at the Kilburn station ; while doing so, the coal gave way, and de ceased fell upon the rail, some of the waggons passing over both his legs. Coroner—Then he attempted to unhook the carriages before the train came to a stand. Was there any occa sion for him to have done so ?—Wittress—His object was to save time, as the Aylesbury passenger train was due, and he was anxious to proceed, so as to leave the line clear for it. Examination continued—Had seen deceased do the same upon one other occasion. He was not directed by any rule of the company to do so. He had been in the company's service three years, and was upoa the point of being married. He was quite sober at the time. The train was behind time at starting, and they had bad luck on - ‘ 4- .13e road, a coupling-iron having broken. Imme diately after the occurrence of the accident the train was shunted into the siding, and, the passenger train coming up, deceased was conveyed in it to the Euston station, and thence to the University College Hospital. By the Jury—There was n• medical man called at the . time of the accident, nor were the wounds bandaged. A handkerchief was tied round one leg, which bled a great deal. He could not state the exact distance from the Euston station, but they were about th ree - quar t ers o f an hour doing the distance, including a stoppage at Camden. The Coroner considered that the place where the acci dent occurred was rather remote, and that the very best thing that could be done had been done. Henry Kialimark, house-surgeon at the University College Hospital, described the injuries sustained by the deceased. The jury consulted for a short time, and returned a verdict of accidental death. SUSPECTED MURDER AT. ROCHESTER. ROCHESTER, MONDAY.—i most painful degree of ex citement was experienced in this city and neighbourhood the whole of yesterday, in consequence of the discovery early that morning of the body of an exceedingly fine young woman, with her throat cut, and lying in the ditch adjoining the land-wall, just above Rochester bridge, in a place known as Mr. Wickenden's meadow, quite dead. The discovery mks made by two men, named Tidey and Walker, who, on proceeding round the land-wall, about half-past six that morning, had their attention arrested by seeing a bonnet and shawl lying on the top of the wall. It was scarcely light at the time, but after looking about for some little distance they discovered the body of a female lying across the ditch, partly out of the water, the head and face being in the slimy water, of which there was 'about a foot in the ditch at the time. Having procured the assistance of a police-constable, the body was taken out, when it was perceived that deceased had received a severe cut across the throat, but although every search was made by the constable and others, no razor, knife, nor instru ment of any kind, with w hi c h th e wound could have been inflicted, wrs discovered. The body having been removed to the Queen's Arms public-house, inquiries were set on foot for the purpose of discovering who the deceased was, and in the course of Sunday it was ascertained that her name was Mary Ann Saunders, aged about 27, the daughter of Mr. Saunders, who keeps an Alton ale-house called the G,lden-cross, High-street, Chatham, and that she was last seen alive on the preceding (Saturday) evening, when she left her father's house in a rather harried manner. The place in which the body lay is a very lonely one, and far removed from any house, the land wall, as it is called, sweeping out to a bend in the river, and was built for the purpose of preventing the tide flowing over the adjacent marshes. The bonnet and shawl belonging to the deceased were found lying at some distance from each other, and the latter was covered with blood on certain parts, as if used, by what ever individual it was who inflicted the wound, to stop the flow of blood. A piece of rag, completely saturated with blood, was also found pushed tightly into deceased's bosom. There were no marks of struggling apparent near the place where the body was lying, the supposition being that deceased must have had her throat cut first, and then placed in the situation as described. On the pockets of deceased being searched, only a few trifling articles were found, but no money. This is in itself fraught with suspicion, as deceased was well known to be always with a supply Of money in her possession, being in the habit of assisting her father at the bar. During the whole of Sunday the body was viewed by several magistrates and medical men, the latter of whom. gave it as their opinion that the cut in the throat of de ceased was not sufficient to cause death, and that she must have been placed in the ditch at that retired spot, where she was suffocated by reason of her head and lace being under the water. This morning a highly respectable jury was summoned by the coroner, Mr. J. Lewis, and assembled at the Guildhall, for the purpose of investigating the circum stances by which deceased met with her death ; and the above facts having been adduced in evidence, the inquiry was adjourned until Friday next. The Coroner ordered that the keys found on the de ceased should be retained in the hands of the police till the conclusion of the inquest, and gave directions for the boxes belonging to the deceased to be searched. DEPARTURES PROM THE PORT OE LONDON.—The de partures from this port for the Australian colonies during the week have comprised 17 vessels—four to Sydney, with an aggregate burden of 2,698 tons ; four to Hobart Town, with an aggregate burden of 2,085 tons ; three to Port Philip, with an aggregate burden of 1,240 tons ; two to Adelaide, with an aggregate burden of 1,202 tons ; two to Launceston, with an aggregate burden of 790 tons - one to Pert Wakefield, New Zealand, o f 849 tons ; and tine to Newcastle, New South Wales, of 592 tons. Their total capacity was consequently 9,456 tons. The rates of freight exhibit no material variation . Several rifles taken from the Russians are found to be of the kind known as the needle gun, and bear the mark of being manufactured at Liege. HORRIBLE SUIOIDE.—On Monday morning last Mr. Blackburn, coroner for the borough of Leeds, held an inquest upon what were believed to be the remains of a man named George Towler, of Farnley-wood, unmarried, and 22 years of age. Towlot had been for some time labouring under insanity. Late on Saturday night two men employed in watching the furnace of the Farnley forge heard a noise near the entrance of the furnace, and on looking out of their cabin discovered the deceased standing near the furnace mouth in a state of nudity, and his clothes lying near. Before they could reach him he flung, himself head foremost into the furnace, which was at that mo ment filled with fifty tons of molten iron and glowing coke.

THE FISHERIES.—The pilchard "harvest," as it is usually called in Cornwall, has, we regret to state, been a complete failure. We fear the poorer inhabitants along the coast will feel the scarcity most acutely during the coming winter, and more particularly so, seeing that corn has advanced considerably within a very short_yme, e with a probability that it will rise stil l hi g her.
