The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than,, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its peruse uis particularly recommended to persons, entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and whe 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 management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self -Indulgence, how these penalties may he mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be remover, and how the evil and its consequenc es may be avoided, and above all, that there Is scarcely any decree of physical infirmity or functional ierangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. The tither has for a series of years delicate en gaged in an extensive practice in +he treatment of these co mplaints, which are unfortunately teen too generally confided c to the are of ignorant empirics, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place faith in ',heir pretensions. rice 2s 6d . , in English , SELF-PRESERVATION m a y be had, p French, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, or German, of Messrs.

Great Britain is at war. The effect of a condition of affairs, so novel to the present generation, though some what problematical, is worthy of the most careful con sideration. It is very evident that the career of peace fulness we have so long enjoyed has been broken up for an indefinite period, and the sooner we accommodate ourselves to the altered state of things, the less severely will it press upon us. The war is very different to any previous war in which England has been engaged. Our quarrels, heretofore, have been either with some great naval power, or with nearly all the naval powers in the world at once. Our present antagonist is not strictly a great naval power. She cannot cripple our merchant service, or materially interfere with our commerce. With other maritime nations we have a most friendly understanding. None of these are likely to side with the enemy. They will not suffer their merchant marine to commence a system of priva teering under the Russian letters of marque. Com mercial England has set a new example in the particular of disallowing privateers, and she will be the first to benefit by the humane resolution. As, therefore, the seas of the whole world will be o p en t o us , the only in convenience will be with regard to that commerce which we have been accustomed to carry on with Russia her self. The determination of her Majesty's Government that the bona fide property of neutrals, whatever may have been its origin, shall be r esp e cted, lears the way for a continual commerce with Russia through the interven tion of neutral countries. The effect on our trade in Russian produce, supposing even that these countries were no longer to presegve_ their neutrality, would not be disastrous. — The Statis tical Returns jut issued by the Board or Trade, furnish us with figures determining, to a great extent, the value of our commerce with various countries. From these it would appear that our increasing and most valuable trade is with our colonies, and with the United States. Over this Russia can have no power whatever. Our direct trade with Russia does not amount to more than two per cent. of our whole exports. In Russian tallow there has been no increase for the last ten years ; palm and cocoa-nut oil being found a profitable substitute. For supplies of hemp and corn we have long been more dependent on other countries than on Russia. While the quantity of corn imported from Russia increased between 1840 to 1852 more than four fold, that im ported of all kinds of corn from Egypt increased tenfold, and of wheat thirtyfold : the quantity imported of all kinds of corn also from the United States increased sevenfold, and of wheat-flour more than sixfold. It would, therefore, really appear certain that our increas ing supplies are from other countries—that those countries are equal to a much larger supply—and that, therefore, so far from the war diminishing our supplies, or enhancing their price, its effect will be rather to drive Russian produce from the market. It is satisfactory thus to find that we have, as a sub stratum, a flourishing trade, which will not be interfered with ; and such unlimited supplies as to preclude those " war prices" which have been heretofore one of the great penalties of battle. While, therefore, as a nation, we are in such an im proved position, the real inconvenience and distress of the war will fall upon individuals. Not alone must they by taxation pay the expenses of prosecuting war, but such as have money invested must bear the effect of that vacillation in the value of such investments, which is always, whether rationally or i rra ti ona ll y , attendant upon a time of excitement. The object of all those who seek investments of capital will naturally lead them to inquire which are the healthiest—that is, which are least likely to be affected by the vicissitudes of the war. The solid condition of our commerce, to which we have previously adverted, would serve to show that all good securities should be buoyant. But we do not usually find that they are equally so. Government securities are always the first to feel the war pressure. Not because they are unsound, but because the peculiar drain which war en forces is that of money. People must realise for com mercial or private purposes. The Government, wanting money, becomes a seller rather than a buyer. Political crises, misunderstandings, uncertain intelligence, and false reports, all have an immediate and malign influence. The courage of the timid oozes out of their fingers' ends, and they give the word to " sell." Easily realised securities, then, are the first to suffer depression. Men frequently buy into the funds for mere temporary purposes rather than permanent investment. Stock is the first thing rea lised when a man wants money. Into an estimate of the value of the funds also no other consideration enters. It is the money alone which produces money. In other investments, such as railway shares, and the shares of life and fire insurance companies, another element ap pears, that of business transacted. But when men feel a monetary pressure they will cease from some opera tions' or deny themselves certain ind u l gences t o w hi c h they have been accustomed. It is very evident that at a time of monetary inconvenience or heavy taxation, men would cease travelling to some extent, in comparison with times of great prosperity and freedom from pres sure. Undertakings, therefore, for the provision of that which people can do without, will stand next in the ladder of depressed securities. We now come to the consideration of Insurance shares. The material prosperity of the country is continually increasing, and it is increasing precisely in that direction which in creases the insurable property. Periods of prosperity also are not always the time that men become anxious for the future. Increased unoertainty of life and of future provision, render all prudent persons more desir ous of making such arrangements as shall preserve those who are dear to them from poverty. Those whowould desist from travelling, or give up some particular indul gence, are the very men who would feel the more bound to continue an existing policy on their lives, from the ' increased necessity for certain provision. The increase of insurable property, and the greater uncertainty of human life and future provision, then, would both lead to increased insurance. Shares in these undertakings should, therefore, stand first in the class of profitable and secure investments. Let us see how these hypotheses are borne out by the actual facts. The Stock Exchange Reports of April 1, 1853, and April 1, 1854, are before us. We give the relative value of Securities at these two periods : THE EMPEROR OF BUSNIA'S ALLIES IN _ENGLAND. He who at this stage of the controversy throws a doubt on the groi.nad of quarrel is a traitor to his country, We are pledged to the French—we are plighted to the Turks—we have committed ourselves to the Czar— we have called upon Austria and Prussia to send their con tingent to the field—we have taken up the gauntlet which the Autocrat has thrown down—we have drawn on Omet Pacha and his brave cohorts to the banks of the Danube, and at this point of the crisis there are actually Englishmen among us who bawl out that we should leave everybody in the lurch, fire a Royal salute in honour of the Russian Emperor, as he passes through the Dardanelles, and,send an ambassador extraordinary to congratulate him on his entry to Constantinople, and to represent Queen Victoria at his coronation ! Mere there is undoubtedly a very large spare assortment of moral courage, which ventures to brave the conscience, the spirit, the common sense, and the good feeling of the whole of the rest of mankind. But what are we to say of that sneaking faction of dreary word-mongers who nightly abuse the ears of hearers, and daily the eyes of readers with the most elaborate sophistry to prove that the Emperor of Russia is entirely justified in all that he has done—that our Government is solely to blame for the war, and that the war is totally un necessary ; while at the same time they are cowardly enough to shelter themselves from the indignation which the tendency of their fallacies is calculated to excite by yet voting supplies, and declaring the war to be just ! Conceive the Emperor of Russia reading an elaborate justification of the position he has assumed, by the late Prime Minister of England, still leader of a majority in the Lords, and the largest single party in the Commons. What is Prussia, what is Austria, to think of the policy they should pursue, when they find themselves advised by our late Chancellor of the Ex chequer that the quarrel is altogether a mistake of John Bull—and that we have repeatedly approved of that very protectorate by the Czar of the Greeks in Turkey, his assumption of which we are now going to oppose at the utmost cost of our blood and treasure ? Are distracted councils all that we can show in the hour of peril and in the din of strife ? Will Germany court alliance, or Russia sue for peace, when they find that not even among ourselves is there one heart and one arm ; but that, on the contrary, Manchester desires the House of Romanoff to • be enthroned at Constantinople—and Young England declatio thot Nicholas is rightfully the Protector of the Greeks of Turkey? Let us have no more of this folly. If it will insist upon crying aloud in the street let no man regard it. We have done with the past. Wordy garble on that subject will henceforth meet with no- toleration from the public. The utterers are only intolerable bores—and their nonsense ought no longer to be reported. Look ahead ! "See the front of battle lour." Our work is cut out for us. What we have got to do is, not to debate, but to fight. The function of Parliament is no longer to stutter over protocols, or prose through secret correspondence, but to encourage the heart of the nation, to find the sinews of war, to develope our resources, to put forth all our strength, to give it an effective direction. "We are in for it now." We de mur even to the propriety of presenting to the nation a lugubrious inventory of the taxes we shall have to pay, the dangers we will have to encounter, the protracted period over which the struggle will be spread. "You should have spoken sooner," as the Irishman said when the chirp of a chicken was heard from the egg he was swallowing. Whatever the cost, it must be paid—what ever the peril, it must be faced—whatever the length of the contest, it must be persevered in to the last. Let us have no gloomy forebodings, or mere wiseacre cau tions. Better that we should shut our eyes 'to every thing but the enemy straight before us, burn our tran sports, and throw away our scabbards. Is not our quarrel just ? If we cannot answer that with an un hesitating " Yes," then, at whatever cost of pride or policy, let us confess our error, and seek peace. But if our enemy is the wrong-doer—if our client is weak in might, but strong in right—if we can lay our bands on our hearts, and say sincerely that our honest aim is to throw our strength aroma the innocent de fenceless, to vindicate the general rights common to mankind against overbearing lust of power, and to main tain the public law of nations and of Europe against a common brawler and peace disturber—then let us be as sured that there is a God above, and that He is with us, and that t his world no less than the next is under a wise moral government. An old theologian said truly of the mystics of evangelical orthodoxy—" They cry out against carnal reason, because reason cries out against them." We can perfectly understand Mr. Bright's denunciations of the press, and his newly discovered amiable view of the character of the House of Commons, as being above the popular clamours of the multitude, and removed into the altitudes of his own serene intellectual atmosphere. Let us give him this advice—either be a demagogue or a Tory, not both, .or either alternately. To despise popularity is simply to despise the people. To ignore the press, or, because it is unanimous in the sup port of a policy to which he is opposed, to endeavour to destroy its influence by insinuations of its corrup tion, is to contemn the mighty engine by which Toryism has been made to bite the dust. That the press, at the latter portion of the late war, was unanimous in its execration of the common pest and curse of Europo who swept over it like a destroying tine, and who could never rest from rapine and bloodshed, is a fact for which it has no reason to be ashamed. And now it will be most clearly in its duty, and best earn the gratitude of posterity, by exposing to the contempt and indignation of the country the craven counsels of those who venture to abuse the patience and to degrade the moral sense of the people by telling them to mind their calicoes and save their taxes, while the common thief of Europe com mits his brazen burglaries, crushes the weak, and enslaves the innocent ; and to stand by calmly look on, while a miscreant whose kingdom is but a camp, and whose whole people are the mere trained instruments of aggres sion and destruction, grows by fraud and force into uni versal empire— Bestriding the narrow world Like a Colossus, while we petty men Walk under his huge legs, and peep about To find ourselves dishonourable graves. Rather than this should be, let the spirit which once " ful min'd over Greece," but all too late to save civilisation from military despotism, again arouse Europe to the dangers of the Philip of the North ; and, if need be, to harry the nest of the pirate and the robber, to whose insolent pretensions it is solely owing that we have to quit the plough. share for the spear, to save our altars and our homes from the curse of a second universal conqueror, unscru pulous and insatiable as Rome, but destitute either of its politic humanity, or its wisdom in council and in the science of government. You, Pease and Sturge, an swer us this. For what purpose does your idol keep constantly on foot twelve hundred thousand armed men? Is his Government so execrable that no smaller force can keep his own subjects down ? Then what must be the responsibility of those who advise us to invite him to extend his sway over, the fairest regions of the earth ? If it be to defend him from without, what sort of a neighbour must he be ? If it be to feed the lust of con quest, and to extend a dominion already made up of huge thefts from every surrounding country, what must be the judicial blindness of those who dare to counsel toleration of such n. system ? Nothing is so easy—pro bably at an early period nothing will be so popular, when the pinch of warlike taxation comes—as that " save your-bacon" morality which sneaks from public duty, and shirks the noblest obligations of humanity, to shelter itself beneath the cant of cheap fanaticism and the crea ture comfort of thrifty hypocrisy. We have shown too often that we can venture to deny ourselves either the pleasures of popularity or the profits of self-interest, at the dictates of consc ience, to ren der it necessary for us to repel with the sco rn it merits the I nsinuation of wise of war is a ga i n f u l en th u - E ca c c c y lesiastical Titl es Bill a l most t a h tdh e veo Preston Strike n ow a t a cost o f which rivals have not failed to tak e as a mi lcuoersrnemese popularity, that .ww7 the re exposee p s i r s e to s ef s d advantage. chance, not by design, that we now , • and partake the gale," by re sistance to a tyrant and to the lust of con q ues t.

AMSTERDAM AND ROTTERDAM PRODUCE MARKETS.— The weekly reviews from the AmsterdaTi and Rotter dam Produce Markets mention that business was rather more active. In coffee the operations, although not ex tensive, were at a slight improvement, the better de scriptions especially commanding higher quotations. Sugar, raw and refined, continued steady. The demand for rice had increased, and rates were generally well sup ported. No material alteration bad occured in indigo size, the termination of the late ?isles. THE WAR PREPARATIONS Lord Raglan and his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge left London last night by the half-past 8 mail train for Dover, en route for the East. Although the exact time of their departure had not been made public, upwards of 300 persons, including many ladies, had assembled to see them off. The Royal carriage had been prepared for their reception, and as the train moved away from the platform they were loudly cheered. Lord Raglan was accompanied to the station by the members of his family, who there took an affectionate farewell. The aides-decamp, both of his Lordship and of his Royal Highness, travel with them. The Vivid conveys them across the Channel from Dover, and at Paris, to-morrow, they will be present with the Emperor at a grand mili tary review. Lord Raglan and the Duke of Cambridge paid their respects yesterday to her Majesty before leav ing, and they also visited the Prime Minister in Down ing -street. Yesterday- a vast quantity of tents and other requi sites for the encampment of an army were taken out of the stores in the Tower, and conveyed to the railway station, to be forwarded to Portsmouth for shipment to the Mediterranean. The officers of Ordnance have contracted for the supply of 1,000 tons of coals to be forwarded to Gallipoli for the use of the army. The Government have chartered the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Euxine (in place of the Ripon) to take out warlike stores, horses, and artillery, which are to be embarked at Portsmouth on Thursday or Friday next. The Euxino is being prepared for sea in the Southampton dockswith all despatch. The Penin sular and Oriental Company's screw -steamer Rajah will leave Southampton at daylight on Wednesday for Con , stantinople direct, with 800 tons of coa l s f or th e fl ee t . The coals are being shipped in the docks. The Gladiator, 6, paddle-frigate, CttiorsProke• steamed out of the factory basin, at P o smirk mirk yes terday morning, and went out of harbour to try her engines along the measured mile at Stokes-bay ;on her return she made fast to the stream-buoy off the King's stairs to swing for compass observation. In going out she met with a slight accident in her starting gear, but which is of little consequence. The Eurydice, 26, sailing-frigate, Captain Ommanney, has hauled into No. 2 dock to have her bottom over hauled and scrubbed down. The Conway, 26, sailing-frigate, Captain Fulford, flag of Rear-Admiral Sir Fairbrother Carroll, of the Irish station, hauled out of the fitting ba s i n yes t er d ay morn ing., and went alongside the hulk to receive her crew. The Geyser, 6, paddle-sloop, has been removed from the fitting basin alongside the shear jetty. The Sprightly, steam-tender, Acting-Master Com mander Allen, went over to Cowes yesterday on troop service. The Duck lighter, arrived at Portsmouth from Chatham, reports the St. George, 121, lying i n th e Downs, and passed the Cumberland, 70, off Brighton, on Saturday evening, in tow of the Black Eagle. Rear-Admiral Martin, Superintendent of Portsmouth Dockyard, having returned from London, re-hoisted his flag on board the St. Vincent. The Black Eagle steam-vessel, Master -Commander John E. Petley, arrived at Woolwich yesterday, and brought round from Portsmouth Rear-Admiral M. F. F. Berkeley, C. 8., one of the Lords of the Admiralty, who had paid a visit to the Cumberland, 70, on her return from the North America and West Indies station. The Black Eagle towed the Cumberland from Portsmouth to the Downs. Rear-Admiral Berkeley on landing at Woolwich went round the dockyard, accompanied by Commodore John Shepherd, to witness the progress of the works. Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, &.C.8., Surveyor of the Navy, paid an official visit to Woolwich Dockyard yesterday. The .Rhadamanthus paddle-wheel steam-storeship, Master Commander John Belam, has taken on board boilers and a portion of the machinery for the Exmouth, 90, screw steam-ship, now ready for launching at Devon port. A very fine brass spare screw-propeller, weighing 7 tons Bcwt. 3qrs., had been put on board of a barge for conveyance to Sheerness, where it will be received by the Majestic, 81, screw steam-ship, and be conveyed by her to the Baltic, for the Royal George, 121, screw steam-ship. A brass s crew p rope ll er , weighing 8 tons 3cwt. 2qrs. 201 b., has just been finished at Woolwich Dockyard as a spare screw propeller for the James Watt, 91, screw steam-ship. The workmen of the foundry were occupied yesterday in taking out of the mould a screw propeller for the Nile, 91, screw-steam ship. The quantity of metal required for casting the screws of 91-gun war steamers is 101 tons, which is generally reduced to about 81 tons when finished for service. The Lady Valiant, No. 16 horse transport-ship, Lieu- tenant and agent Aldworth, R.N., was taken out of the basin yesterday, and towed down the river, on her way to the Mediterranean. The following appointments have been made : Chaplain William M. Wray (1854), to the Penelope, 16, paddle-wheel steam-frigate, for service with the Baltic fleet. Assistant-Surgeon Josiah Austen (1852), is confirmed to the Cumberland (70), for service with the Baltic fleet. Clerks.—George F. Grigor (1851), recently serving in the Cumberland, 70, when on the North American and West Indies station, to the Majestic, 81, screw steam ship, for service in the Baltic fleet; John H. Duffell (1850), also recently serving in the Cumberland, to the Excellent gunnery ship, at Portsmouth. Clerk's Assistant Charles F. Hoskins, to the Cum berland. HER MAJESTY'S SHIP CUMBERLAND.—The navy and the public will be gratified at hearing that her Majesty's ship Cumberland left the Downs yesterday afternoon, shortly after three o'clock, for the Baltic, in as good a state of discipline and order as any ship that has yet sailed for the chance of winning honour and glory from the Russians. The Black Eagle, Admiralty steam-yacht, accompanied the Cumberland from Portsmouth, and towed her to her anchorage in the Downs on Sunday. It appears that as the noble ship left Portsmouth be hind, mo did the refractory crew become more and more sensible of their mad folly in giving way to the evil passions that had been excited by the crimps and their drugs, and by the insidious and damaging sympathy of newspapers, pretendi ng to represent the navy, and to be upholders of order and discipline ; and we are assured from our correspondent at Deal, that by the time the ship arrived in the Downs, the " tigers" were all turned into " lambs," and the ship has departed on her service with a desire on the part of all on board to " let bye-gores be bye-gones," and with a stern de termination to do their duty in whatever position they may be called upon to act against the enemy.—DlorniV Herald. EXECUTION OF THE CORNWALL MURDERER.--Holman, the man who was executed a few days since for the murder of his wife at Bodmin, made the following con fession shortly before his death :—" We first disagreed about a bonnet. She had a bonnet at Miss Toy's, at Camborne, to be cleaned, or something to that purpose, which she was thinking to go for on the Saturday be. fore this happened. As I had more work than I could fitly do before the afternoon, and I should have to stop in with the children while she was gone, I told her she must go on Monday. On Monday morning I asked her if she was going to Camborne. She said, ' Not on that day.' I said, if she was not going, I would go and see my brother, whom I had not seen for four years. I re turned home about nine o'clock in the evening, or there abouts. When I came in I asked her how she was, and how she got on for the day, and the like of that ; and she seemed to be very slow in speaking, and not to answer me much. I said to her, ' I suppose you have had a glass, as you have before ?' and asked her if she was going to Camborne the next day. She replied, ' I shall not go till I have some money again.' So I asked her what she had done with the money which she had last week, and that we fell out about. All I did was to give her a push ; she hitched her foot in the chair, and fell against the jambstone of the chimney. No blows were given, only she threw the fire-brush at me. I can say no more. I went out to the cattle-sheds to see if the bullocks had any meat, and returned in about ten minutes, When I came back I found her in the chim ney." Durins , the time the man was in pr ison, aw aiting his execution , he remained unmoved, eating, and drink ing, and sleeping as if nothing was going to happen. Even on the morning of his execution he ate his break fast as usual. The execution was witnessed by about 18,000 persons. THE FALKLAND ISLANDS.—The captain of the Great Britain makes a very favourable report of Stanley har bour as a place of call for steamers. He says—" The Go vernment charts are exceedingly correct ; the land, as you approach it, is made out without any difficulty, and we saw Pembroke Point and its beacon (now to be su perseded by a lighthouse) at the distance of about seven miles. The harbour itself is like a large dock, secure from all winds, and with an entrance sufficiently wide for a good smart sailing vessel to beat through with ease. All the dangerous points are distinctly marke d b y the sea weed. The anchorage is excellent, varying from 4 to 5 fathoms at low water. The facility for watering ships is good; a reservoir, holding about 200 tons of water, com municates by means of pipes with the end of a jetty, where, even when the tide is out, there is always about 3 feet depth of water, which is sufficient for a fiat-bottomed boat to float off 10 tons at a time. The Governor pro mgrioseodertyhastto, re s s ho o u an ld ai S so ta b n e le p y or b o e h c a o s m ed e to a settlement) is only about 400; but every year, as the islands become better known, this want will, no oubt, be steamers, a floating tank should be built, so that water could be alongside the ship immediately on her arrival, and pumped into the tanks or casks as the case may be. There are considerable herds of cattle the islands, and, when up to feed, their beef is very good ; vegetables of the more ordinary kind, such as potatoes, cabbages, and c extent. alcall for turnips, can be had whemin season; ship chandlery and a port limited o l Labour is scarce, as the population of Stanley (the only less felt. I should add that the hulk for coalingthe Great Britain was placed in the most convenient situation."

But the whole result proves forcibly our position, that even in time of war and difficulty, as in time of tranquillity and peace, first among monetary investments stand the shares of life and fire insurance companies. THE ROYAL SURREY MILITIA.—The Ist Regiment of the Royal Surrey Militia, under the command of Colonel William Holme Sumner, is appointed to be trained and exercised for 28 days, at Richmond, the head-quarters of the regiment. The training will commence on the Bth of May next, and all men enrolled in the corps are directed to attend at nine o'clock in the morning of that day.

HAS EXECUTION BY HANGING BEEN SURVIVED !—I have heard vague and indiscriminate tales of persons who, as criminals, have undergone infliction of the punishment of hanging without total extinction of life ; but I have always been disposed to look upon such ac counts as mere fables, till lately, in turning over some newspapers of the year 1740, I found a case mentioned, under such circumstances that, if it were untrue, its re futation might have been easily accomplished. By The Craftsman of Saturday, Sept. 27, 1740, it appears one William Dewell had been concerned in the violation, robbery, and murder of a young woman in a barn at Acton (which place has so recently been the scene of another horrible crime). The Craftsman of Saturday, Nov. 29, 1740, states that Dewell having undergone execution, and being brought to surgeons'-hall to be ana tomised, symptoms of life appeared, and he quite re covered. This strikes me as a most unaccountable story ; but perhaps similar ones may have been met with in the reading of some of your correspondents.— From " Notcs act Queries." , - --e_--e_- /7 Z.l .4 7/ 7 c~~ gentleman, having given a full:ieeettnt 6£ Mir „It sent condition, I leave our /cause in your And when the stewards shall sfAnd'hy your side, I can leave it with confidenceitii•your pencils. -Ail* same time I feel that I canncit'eonclude my . ad! , ; .; you this evening in a more appropriate way, manner more likely to act upon your charitable. pulses, than in quoting sonic lines once written i4r poet-chairman : " When poverty, with mien of shamedS - The sense of pity seems to touch,— Or, bolder, makes the si mp l e c l a i m, That we have nothing —you have much : Believe not either man, nor book, That bids you close the opening hand, And with reproving speech and look Your first and free intent withstand." [PRICE SD, ROYAL GENERAL TB EATRICAL FUND Yesterday the anniversary festival in aid of the funds of this comparatively recently established but most de servedly successful and prosperous institution took place at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate -street. Mr. 1.. Manes, M.P., occupied the chair, and the general com pany mustered 160. The assemblage of ladies in all parts of the room appropriated to them was very numerous. The musical arrangements—which were of an unusually attractive character, were under the surveillance of Mr. Gen Ere. The CliernmArr,having proposed the usual l o yal toasts, gave " the Army and Navy," coupling with the two pro fessions the names of Col. Mansfield and Mr. T. P. Cooke. Colonel MANSFIELD returned thanks for the army, and observed that the toast was no longer a formal one, as it used to be, but at p resent gave occasion for the embodi ment and expression of the genuine enthusiasm of the nation from one end to the other. Mr. T. P. COOKE, who was received with the most en thusiastic cheering, said that he might safely leave the service—both naval and military —to speak for them selves. They had not, it was true, opened th e i r mou th s as yet, but when they did so it would be in a language intelligible and satisfactory to England and to the world. " The Bar and Mr. E. James, "The Modern Drains. and Mr. W. Wallack," "The Strangers present and Mr. A. Smith," having- been proposed, and duly honoured, Mr. Tom TAILOR proposed "The Health of the Chair man," who acknowledged the compliment in eloquent terms. Several other toasts having been proposed ankl re sponded to, the company separated. The subscriptions announced during the evening amounted to about 5001. SEIZURE OF SIR G. H. SEYMOUR'S PROPERTY AT ST. PETERSBURG. We fear there is no doubt of the melancholy and ridiculous fact, that his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias has seized and appropriated Sir H. G. Seymour's property at St. Petersburg. As the per sons and property of ambassadors and others concerned in the political intercourse of nations have ever been held sacred, such an act as that reported must raise the gravest suspicions as to the sanity of our antagonist. Everybody will remember the extravagances of the Em peror Paul on a like occasion. That eccentric personage, after venting his spit e aga i ns t th e E ng li s h, nationally and individually, in all sorts of ways, declared war, and at once, without the usual warning, seized all the mer chants' ships then in the Neva, and, when two of them had managed to effect their escape, revenged himself upon them by burning all the rest. Whether that will be the fate of Sir G. H. Seymour's house and goods, or on what pretence they have been seized, contrary to the law and practice of the whole civilised world, we have yet to learn. There is something so inconceivably petty in such an act, and so contrary to the customs, not only of , 4 gentlemen " but even emperors, and all believing it, by supposing civilised b e i ngs, that one' naturally tries to escape from some process of Aussian law with which Englishmen may be excusably unacquainted. It looks, however, very like an act of revenge for the publicity given to the Secret Correspond ence and confidential communications of the Em peror. But such a revenge must recoil on its author, and the too eager expectant of a "sick man's" property has not mended his case by pouncing on the goods and chattels of a departing ambassador. Possibly the Czar may think to pick up some papers that may edify the world as much as the last Little disclosure. It may be only a " temporary occupation," or perh a p s th e Emperor seeks a "material guarantee" for the future silence of the British Minister on the subject of his in terviews. Whatever the motive, or colour, or form, or pretence, it is a most pitiful proceeding. Europe will only see in it one more instance of habitual appropria tion. The regular practitioner in this line takes nothing amiss that comes in his way, and will pocket with equal pleasure a few thousand pounds or a cotton pocket-hand kerchief; and the Emperor, with the like professional spirit, can turn turn from the occupation of provinces to the seizure of tables and chairs, and such other heavy goods as Sir G. H. Seymour could not easily carry away with him. Certainly this is bringing home to us the dangerous character of our neighbourhood. Sometimes it is whispered in a theatre, " Take care of your pockets." That is the condition of Europe just now. "There is a pickpocket among us." Sir G H. Seymour has been hustled and robbed. The articles are indeed of very little value—more valuable to the owner than they could be to an Emperor ; but when men are making war on the whole human race, they no more care for the value of the booty than a sportsman does for the worth of the poor beasts, birds, or fishes he is so anxious to bag. The promptitude of the operation snows, beyond a doubt, that the Emperor was prepared to act on the contingency. Such a man is never taken by surprise. He knows what to do with an unguarded house as well as with a falling empire. In mercantile phrase, the Minister's departure had already been discounted, and the Emperor enjoyed the property in anticipation. In this case there was nobody to consult, and, happily, no one to divide the spoil with. Nor, again, were there any embarrassing alternatives. The imperial housebreaker has not been under the painful necessity of laying down beforehand what he would not permit on the part of those whom he suspected of competition for the prize. He has been under no occasion to explain, "I will not permit the goods to be carried away. I will not permit the house to be sold ; nor can I permit it to be occupied by a tenant. One thing only will I permit,—viz., that I may take it and its contents for as long a term as I think proper." The Emperor has been permitted on this occasion to go through all these alter natives in the privacy of his own mind, and this " secret correspondence" of an imperial housebreaker will never see the light. But, on the other hand, there is no dis guise. There could be no pretence of political necessity, no fear of a dangerous neighbour. The Emperor ap pears to have laid his hands on the property without more ado than if lie had found a purse on the roadside and pocketed it. But we beg the Emperor's pardon. We said that he made no public preparation for the seizure. He did make a preparation, and that was his usual one. He informed the world some time since, of course on the word of a gentleman, that the property of Englishmen would be sacred at St. Petersburg. Those unfortunate Englishmen who still choose to remain within reach of the imperial talons will know what is meant by sanctity when it is promised by au Emperor. In this country these matters are left to the universal rules of international law, interpreted by our authorities. In Russia to this security is added the " word of an Em peror," and the value of that additional security may be seen in this instance.—Times. The next toast was " The Members of Parliament present," which was eloquently responded to by Mr. G. Vernon, M.P. The CHAIRMAN then proposed in eloquent terms the toast of the evening, "Prosperity to the General Thea trical Fund," and made a most effective and touching appeal on behalf of the institution. Mr. BUCKSTONE, who was received with long-con tinued cheering, proceeded to corroborate the appeal of the chairman. He said—Gentlemen, it has often been my pleasant duty to acknowledge the toast you have just honoured with so much enthusiasm, but seldom have I risen for that purpose with such feelings of , hope and exultation as I possess at this moment, for the spe cial reason that, in returning thanks and giving an account of the General Theatrical Fund, I have only to tell you of its increasing prosperity, and its grow ing usefulness, and the recognition it now meets with from every member of the theatrical profession and every lover of the drama. That it is recognised by every lover of the drama I have only to refer you to the distinguished list of gentlemen who have occupied the chair on these occasions, and for the last nine years. Literary men, statesmen, dramatists, and our leading actors have, during that time, generously appeared here to encourage us an d our cause with their presence, and to exert their eloquence in our behalf; and though last, not least, ought we not to be proud of our excellent chairman this evening ?—a gentleman of high standing in the senate—a poet—a man of letters and of influence, and who kindly puts aside matters of greater moment to attend here and plead the cause of our fund, thus show ing, by the countenance given to it by him, that it in deed merits the consideration and the patronage of the first talents and the first gentlemen in the country. It is now but a " thrice-told tale" to explain the pur poses of our fund--indeed, as this is the ninth anni vesary of our festival—its objects have been set forth thrice three times—so that with our " thrice to thine ' and thrice to thine," we have happily arrived at the "thrice again, that makes up nine," though I will not add, with Macbeth's witches—" Peace--the charm's wound up," for I fervently hope that the charm of this annual meeting may continue for nine times nine, and for a longer period than that, while its objects, its intentions, and its influences continue as they are. Still, as there may be some present who have , yet to know th e part i cu l ars of our institution, I shall , briefly state th a t it was f ounded for the purpose of afford ing relief and granting annuities to actors of every de• nomination, and of every theatre in England, when age or infirmity shall prevent them following their pro fession. All actors. singers, dancers, pantomimists t and prompters, are eligible for admission, and to claim the benefits of our fund, according to its rules ; and at this moment we number the large amount of 131 sub scribers, producing us an annual income of 525/. Your generosity, gentlemen, at these festivals, has materially assisted us, while, from the benevolence of yearly sub scribers, headed by the magnificent donation other most gracious Majesty, our present capital amounts to nearly 8,0001 For some time previously, and during the past year, we have paid seven annuities of from 301. to GOI. and 90/., while we have returned money to the survivors of deceased members, forwarded sums for funeral expen ses , an d voted donations in sad and special cases, and which cases, were you to know of them, you would not only approve of our libe- rality, but be doubly generous this evening, so that we should be enabled to do the like again. To prove to you, gentlemen, with what confidence we are regarded by old members of the stage, I have now to state to you that the Edinburgh fund, which has ex isted many years, and now numbers but a limited list of subscribers and annuitants, with a capital of 3,000/., is about to become incorporated with the General Thea trical Fund, which will receive its existing subscribers, and guarantee all present and future annuities. It was at a dinner in celebration of the anniversary of the Edinburgh Fund, and when the guests had assembled, as we are at this moment, that Sir Walter Scott con fessed himself to be the writer of the Waverley Novels. When proposing success to the fund, and the health of Mr. Mackay, the treasurer, and the famous representa tive of Bailie Nicol Jarvie, the avowal was made, and with that famous bailie I have been in correspondence respecting the amalgamation. The Norwich Theatrical Fund, also with a capital of 3,000/., and a limited num ber of subscribers and annuitants, is about to be asso ciated with us—negotiations to that effect having been carried on for some time, and which are now likely to be soon completed. And now, gentlemen, I have to mention another sum which is about to be added to our capital, and respecting which a short narrative The uncovering of Mr. Baily's magnificent semi may not be uninteresting. Many years ago, in my colossal statue of George Stephenson, the real "Railway " green and salad youth," it may be in the memory King," took place yesterday at the Euston-station of the of several of the oldest inhabitants of this metropolis, London at North-Western Railway. that I was an actor at the Royal Coburg Theatre.
