The essential object of this treatise is to point oat the fearful con- Sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, L 'allich have pronuced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man "ael, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is 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 know, that there are Principles of personal management which cannot be violated without 4: e arring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed e heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, that there is sca rce ly any d egree o f physical infirmity or functional _ der angement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive Practice in the treatment of these delicate complaint?, which have st l n fortunately teen too generally confided to tne care of ignorant t Pirics, who inflict groat injury on those who are induced to p lace faith in their pretensions.

The Exmouth, 90, screw steam-ship, recently commis sioned at Plymouth port by Mr. Loney for Captain Pel ham, is ordered to be rigged with all possible despatch. Riggers have commenced getting the gear over her mast heads. One hundred seamen from the Royal William are employed to assist in her equipment. The Monarch, 84, was ordered yesterday from Spit head to Plymouth, where she is ordered to be fitted for the flag of Rear-Admiral Bruce, whose flag captain, Henry Lyster, has been appointed to the Monarch, and takes command this day. Captain Erskine, who gave up the Monarch to Captain Lyster, will have another ship, most likely the Hannibal, on the promotion of Captain the Hon. F. W. Grey, to flag-rank, now daily expected. The Coast-guard men, put into the Monarch to make up her complement on going to the Baltic, are to be withdrawn from her for the service of other ships, and their places supplied by supernumeraries draughted from all the available depots. The Cossack, 21, Captain Fanshawe, was again docked at Plymouth on Thursday, in consequence of her making a considerable quantity of water per hour from the same part of the ship which caused her being sent to this port. The Brisk, 14, screw, Commander Curtis, which arrived at this port on Tusday, en route to the Pacific, was paid wages on Wednesday, and will leave to-morrow for her destination. The Gorgon, 6, paddle-sloop, Commander R. B. Craw ford, was undocked and hauled into the steam basin at Portsmouth yesterday to complete her refit. The crew of the St. George, 120, Captain Harry Eyres, C. 8., will be paid four n44.415e! wages in a clay or two.

M'Dougall (1851), recently serv ing in the Resolute discovery-ship, to the Fisgard flag ship, at Woolwich, as additional master for surveying service. THE COMMAND IN THE PACIFIC. Rear-Admiral Plumridge returned to Portsmouth, from leave, yesterday morning, and reboisted his flag on board her Majesty's ship Neptune, 120, Capt. Hutton, at Spithead, which ship is ordered to prepare for the immediate reception of troops, which are to be embarked at Queenstown. The Neptune is in splendid condition, and ready to sail ; her crew have had leave and com menced returning yesterday, their time being up this day. She can comfortably berth 1,000 soldiers, in addi tion to her complement (970), without dismounting a gun, and no doubt she will receive as many as soon as the necessary fittings are supplied fir them. The Leo pard, 18, Captain Gifford, flag of Rear-Admiral H. B. Martin, C. 8., is also ordered to sea, and will attend on the Neptune. Of course, the adinirals will not accompany their ships, as their quarters will be required for the accommodation of the military staff. THE WEST INDIES. The Commander-in•chief, Rear-Admiral Fanshawe, C. 8., in his flag-ship Bocawen, 70, Captain Glanville, sailed from St. Thomas's, Nov. 9, for Bermuda.

A Danish cor• vette was also there. There are no movements of the American men-of war. SHOT FOR THE LANCASTERS. Fox and Henderson, of Birmingham, have constructed. machinery to make shot and shell for the Lancaster gun, with five times the accustomed rapidity. We trust we shall have no more of the boring of the old B.inch guns for the oval shot or shell. Such expediency has proved to be highly dangerous, and has brought, in some in stances, undeserved reflections upon the principle of the new gun. will be GI, We have reason to believe that it is not in tended, nor, indeed, owing to the condition of most of the remaining regiments, is it possible, materially to in crease their number. THE IRISH MILITIA. The adjutant of the Dublin militia will proceed to enrol volunteers for the infantry corps on Monday next. He calls for 800 "spirited young men." A regiment of artillery is to be raised for the county Dublin. No rifle eorps is reported. Lord Stuart de Decies has appointed William C. Bo naparte Wyse, son of the British Minister at Athens, and John Esmende, Esq., M.P. for the county Water ford, to be captains in the Waterford Light Infantry.

A letter received in Liverpool yesterday, dated Scu tari, Nov. 15, rays :—" It blew a violent gale here last night. The Wilson Kennedy lost her mainmast ; the Coronella received considerable damage at the Golden Horn ; the Cornwallis (store-ship) was also badly damaged. The Courier was at Varna, with loss of fore topmast and bowsprit. The City of Carlisle arrived in the Bosphorus leaky, having been ashore off the mouth of the Danube." The above, we believe, are all Liver pool vessels, or are owned by Liverpool merchants. SALE OF RUSSIAN PRIZES. Yesterday, by virtue of a decree ef sale, issued by the High Court of Admiralty, Mr. Laehlans, the Admiralty broker, attended at Lloyd's Rooms, Royal Exchange, to submit the Russian prizes, Boj Noja Nadescha and the Volga, captured by her Majesty's ship Miranda, off the coast of Lapland, o n th e 29 t h o f Augus t l as t, t o p u bl ic competition. There was a numerous attendance of buyers. The first put up was the Boj Noja Nadescha, of which George Jorgensen was late the master, about 150 tons burden, and said to be built at Kola, appa rently nearly new. The first offer was 4001., which eventually increased to 7901., at which price she was knocked down. Her cargo consisted of about 139 gallons of cod liver oil, which sold at is. 9d. per gallon, and 1471 b. of coffee, sold at 455. per cwt., in bond. The Volga was next put up. The first offer for the Volga was 300/. ; a spirited bidding ensued, and the vessel was ultimately knocked down for 670/. Her cargo, 750 bags of rye meal, weighing about 110 tons, sold at from 9s. 6d. to lls. per cwt. ; she had also 33 bags of groats, and about 7 cwt. of hemp, producing in the aggregate about 1,200/., making with the sum previously produced by the sale of the Dwina, 4401., also captured by the Miranda, a total of about 3,110/. some odd shillings, to be divided among the officers and crew of her Majesty's ship Miranda, in respect of the White Sea expedition. MILITARY. The 72d Highlanders, recently returned from America, are to arrive from Limerick in a few days. This regi ment is believed to be udder orders for Gibraltar. A draft of the 89th, numbering 233 men, will arrive at Cork to-day, from Waterford. The 2d Somerset Militia has furnished 30 volunteers for the 17th Lancers. A draft of the 17th, numbering 23G men, is to arrive on Saturday from Kilkenny. Lord Ennismore, of the Scots Fusiliers, is at present staying at Con vamore, the seat of his father, the Earl of Listowel. His lordship, wounded at one of the late severe engagements in the Crimea, has arrived home on leave. On Wednesday 200 of the 16th (Bedfordshire) Regi ment arrived at Cork from Athlone, under command of Captain George Studdert, with two ensigns. The head quarters will arrive or Saturday or lelonday, under Henry Copinger. Detachments will be sent to Haul and Spike I s l an d. bowline, Ca m d en In place of 300, which was iformerly the number of soldiers doin g duty i 0 Spike Island convict depot, there will in future be but 40 ; the constabulary and turnkeys are to be increased, to assist the military in taking charge of the convicts. MILITIA. BILLETTING THE 'MILITIA VOLUNTEERS FOR THE LINE. The following War-office circular has been addressed to the colonels of militia regiments : " I have the honour to acquaint you, that, as it is most important at this moment to give every opportunity to men serving in the militia to volunteer into her Majesty's regular forces, it has been determined to embody the regi ment under your command forthwith. " As, however, there aro no barracks available for the largo body of men who will now be under arms, andas the replacing in your regiment of the mon who may volunteer into the regular forces is likely to be more easily effected while it remains in its t own county, the regiment under your command, though embodied, will remain billeted at the present head-quarters until further orders. " With a view to alleviate the inconvenience which by the Mutiny Act is thrown upon the owners of houses who by that act are liable to have men billeted upon them, it is intended to augment the daily rate of payment for each man billeted from id. to lid., or Did. per week per man, in lie, of 3id. a week as heretofore. "The men billeted on innkeepers and others in England and Wales are in no instance to receive the above allow. ante, but the same is to be paid to the innkeeper or other parties equally entitled to it, and charged in the embodied accounts, vouched by a certificate front the commanding officer of the number of men actually billeted durieg the period for which the account is rendered, and by a receipt in proof of payment from the innkeeper. " I havo the honour to be, " Your most obedient humble servant, " SIDNEY HERBERT." The members of the West Essex Militia staff, sta tioned at Chelmsford, have received an intimation to hold themselves in readiness, as the regiment will proba bly be embodied for permanent duty.—Chelmsford Chronicle. TILE SCOTCH MILITIA.—On Wednesday large placards were posted up in the most conspicuous places in town, intimating that publi c no ti ce w i l l s h ortly be given of the times and places in different parts of the county where volunteers will be enrolled for the Royal Perthshire Rifle Regiment of Militia, under the command of Lieu tenant-Colonel Sir Thomas Moncrieffe, Bart., who ap peals to the loyalty and patriotism of the young men of the county to come forward and enrol themselves in this regiment.—Perthshire Courier. The following eleven regiments of militia will be im mediately called out for permanent service :—The Corn wall Rangers, the North Gloucester, the South Glou cester, the Hereford, the West Kent, the North Lincoln, the West Norfolk, the 3d Staffordshire, the Ist Surrey, the 2d Warwick, and the Montgomery Regiments. With the regiments already doing garrison duty, a n d those which we some days since stated were to be called out, the total number of militia regiments on fiervice ALLIANCE BETWEEN EIrGLAND AYD FRANCE. Nett among the least remarkable, but certainly among the most agreeable results of the present war, is the tone which the greater part of the French press has taken with regard to England. It is becoming more evident every day that the alliance is not a mere political league between two Governments formed for purposes of momentary expediency, to be dissolved as soon as that mo mentary expediency shall have passed away, after the heartless manner of such engagements—not merely the mutual esteem of two brave armies, emulous without being envious, and doing that high justice to each other's merits which none but those conscious of high desert can render—but a sentiment which is taking possession of the minds of the people, and seems likely to endure long after the ambition of the Emperor of Russia has been chastised, and the balance of European power been redressed. The two groat nations that inhabit the opposite sides of the British Channel have at length discovered that the endless wars of eight hundred years have only served to retard both in the march of civilisation and improvement, and to fritter away in objectless contest that strength which, if united can give laws to the world, and accelerate in an incalculable degree the march of human pro gress, the development of commerce, and the spread of enlightenment. Esto perpetua ! May this auspicious sentiment of union grow into a fixed principle in their nation, and so completely inoculate their public policy and private opinion as to make them regard a return of hostilities between them with no less horror than a civil war ! We are bound to admit that the most glowing eulogium on the institutions, the conduct, and character of England which the present glorious crisis of her destiny has called forth has not been traced by an English hand. If any one who would wish to see a thoroughly just appreciation of England's present position, he must seek for it, not in the English press, nor in that portion of the French which is devoted to the support of the present order of things, but in tie Republican Siccle, which is not probably influenced in its appreciation of the ally of the Emperor by any peculiar affection or par tiality. While the Legitimist organs strive to ex clude all mention of the English from a battle in which they lost six generals, one hundred officers, and two thousand five hundred men, being about one-third of the force they had on the field,—while the Orleanist papers give them but a grudging and sullen commendation, the Siecle deals with us in a tone of warm and genuine approval, which v4ll entitles it to the grateful acknowledgments of the nation, and those on whom devolve the task of giving utterance to national opinion. Our Parisian contemporary has clearly seized and forcibly ex pressed a great truth, which the advocates of the Russian system of government often find it con venient to forget,—the truth that free government has its strength as well as its weakness, and, if it often fetters the discretion of an Executive, at other times arms and urges it forward with irre sistible power. The enemies of England are wont to expatiate on the obstacles which a Parliamentary Opposition, a free press, and the unrestricted right of public meeting offer to the action of our Execu tive, and matatainthat the same jealous care which makes our Government powerless for much evil has also made its powerless for much good. But they omit to notice what the ,Siecle so ably points out, — that when public opinion supports the Government of a free country the impulse to action becomes irre— sistibly powerful. Individual selfishness is lost in the general contagion of public spirit, courage rises to heroism, the discharge of duty to noble self-sacrifice; and men ordinarilyjcalculating, cautious, and cool headed, are surprised into an enthusiasm of which they did not probably believe themselves capable. The romantic element introduces itself once more into the prosaic transactions of daily life. Every class in its own way, and according to its powers, strains every effort to secure the general object. If blood be shed like water, our people do not re pine ; if money be insufficient, any sum that can be asked for is ready, and, not content with paying heavy war taxes, private benevolence feels it a re lief to raise enormous sums for the benefit of the wounded, the widow, and the orphan, and finds agents for its bounty no less able than noble and disinterested. These things the Siecle traces to liberty. The knowledge that people are allowed to differ invests their agreement with irresistible force, and the reflection that our unanimity is spontaneous gives the influence over friends and , enemies which it is difficult to exaggerate ; and all this is not said by England of herself, but is the spenta,neous'verdict given by one of the most intel ligent organs of a nation against which we have fought countless battles and waged innumerable and bitter controversies. Nor is the benefit we derive from such a tribute confined merely to the gratification of our self-love or the inflation of our pride. Such cordial appreciation of England and her institutions opens to us a new avenue of self- I knowledge. We have many faults, which, though we may partly guess ourselves, appear much more clearly to the eye of a neighbour than to our own. Hitherto, when reminded of them by our contem poraries on the other side of the Channel, we have been in the habit of consoling ourselves with the reflection that the critic was hostile, and disinclined to do us fair and ample justice. But, after the manner in which wo have been treated in this in stance, such an excuse will be no longer open to us and we shall be forced to admit the justice of a charge to which judges so fair and so candid give the sanction of their authority. _ _ It is worth while to go to war with Russia, to interrupt the pursuits of peace and the rapid ad vance of prosperity, to shed our blood on a remote and barbarous shore, to strew the sea with our wrecks and the hospitals with oursick and wounded and our mutilated soldiers, if by so doing we can expel the mists of prejudice that have so long darkened the eyes of both nations, and, forgetting the traditions of mutual jealousy and animosity, learn to consider each other as we really are. Hero is a result of the war which neither the rage of man nor the elements can deprive us of, and which is well worth all the sacrifices we have made. Never did men fall in a nobler cause, never with more as • sured profit to their fellow-creatures, than those gallant Englishmen and Frenchmen who so dearly sold their lives at the Battles of the Alma, Balak lava, and Inkerman. They have maintained the superiority of the civilised Westover the barbarous East ; they have taught Russia that against them I no attainable numbers will secure the victory ; and in the last battle they saved, by unheard-of efforts of heroic valour, the united armies from imminent destruction. But they have done more than this. In their blood has been sealed a bond of union be tween England and France which we may well trust will bind long after the survivors of these glorious actions shall in a ripe old age, follow their heroic comrades ;:o the dust. The nations which, placed front to front, could see each ether only through the distorted medium of prejudice and animosity, once placed side by side have been able to form a truer estimate of each other's qualities, and to learn the lesson of mutual respect and amity. That the present struggle will fill an ample space in the page of history, we fully. believe ; but it will, we apprehend, be remem bered, not so much. for having put bounds to bar barous and domineering . violence, for having opened Asia to Europe, and the finest countries of Europe itself to commerce and cultivation, as for being the era from which will be dated that auspi cious union between England and France, fraught, as we fondly believe, with such incalculable benefits, n ot only to both countries, but to the whole humani race.—Times. WELLINGTON STATUE IN LEHDS.-It has been deter mined to place the Leeds statue to the late Duke of 'Wellington (by Marochetti) in the Leeds Infirmary gardens until the Town Hall is erected, the area in front of which is to be the permanent site of this monuumet. THE WEATEER.—The weather is alternately frosty and wet—the frosty weather being dry and very cold ; the wet weather, for the most part, windy and compara tively warm. The roads are very unpleasant for walking or driving, and in the country, many of the highways are heavily covered with metal, in anticipation of the winter thaw.-- Inverness Courier•. ~~G~~~ / 7_ _ _ _ 'ft [PRICE SD.

The freight list also comprises precious stones, value 4601., 30 serons of cochineal, 6 serous of jalap, 103 cases of cigars, 12 bales of tobacco, 68 bales of sar saparilla, 5 boxes 'of ginger, 9 of live turtle, and 97 packages of sundry merchandise. The Pacific Stearn Navigation Company's steamer Santiago arrived at Panama on the 3d of Novem ber, with 'the mails from the south, 300,000 dols. in treasure, and dates from Valparaiso October 14, Callao, October 25 ; Payta, October 27. This steamer brought up 40 bags of Australian mail matter, received via the Sandwich Islands and Val paraiso. From Chili we learn that the Chamber of Depu ties had been engaged in discussing a bill for the regulation of Joint Stock Companies. The report of the Minister for Foreign Affairs states that, owing to the increased trade between England and Chili, a new treaty had been negotiated, and would be signed and presented to Congress. Peru and Ecuador had accepted the mediation of Chili for the settlement of their differences. Messrs. Alan, Campbell, and Buschenthel had returnedfrom their inspection of the country between Valparaiso and Rosario, with a view to its suitability for a railway to the base of the Andes, and then across the Pam pas to Buenos Ayres, and had reported favourably thereon. The estimate of cost is 26,000,000 dols. M. Lafosse, first lieutenant of the French ship-of warAventure had been killed by a fall from a horse. A vein of gold has been discovered in the streets of Santiago, in the very centre of the city, and ar rangements were being made to work it. The state of the Valparaiso markets is thus reported : " Business is reported brisk. Large arrivals of goods have taken place, while extensive purchases have been made at the same time for Mexico and Guayaquil. The Bolivian trade has also revived. The sales of expor tation have amounted to $300,000 during the fortnight. The home trade is dull. Some descriptions of cotton are held at an advance. Stocks of silk, wonting and linens full ; steel, iron, copper, yellow metal, zinc, and cut nails in brisk demand ; lead plentiful. Stocks of all classes of oil low, brandies unaltered, claret in wood and port dull, sherry in demand, with cargoes on their way. In provisions generally ttestocks are abundant and sales moderate. "In active produce flour still continues dull, with large stocks a fall of 25c. to 50c. per bag of two quintals has been submitted to this article, is now quoted at 7 50 six months' credit. Wheat and barley are also very dull. Hides saleable ; copper very. scarce, at advanced rates. Nitrate is quoted at 18 nab!. No sales. . .

" Her Britannic Majesty's steamer Dido arrived on the 11th from a cruise. The French corvette Aventure sailed on the 7th for. Callao and Marquesas." The revolution in Peru is progressing. The Government forces, which held a position near Janga had been taken by surprise, and forced to fall back upon Lima by a flank movement of General Castilla. President Echineque reached Lima on. the 25th of October, with 500 cavalry, leaving the artillery and infantry to follow. Cas tilla was at the head of 3,000 men. On the return of the President becoming known to the people, great dissatisfaction was manifested, and crowds gathered in the streets shouting for Castilla. The troops were called out, and guards placed over the Palace and other publics buildings. Various revo lutionary proclamationsand placards were published, and in a few instances the people and the soldiers came into collision. The _Herald° does not mention that any lives were lost, but private advices state that six or eight were killed on both sides. All business was suspended, and the stores and shops closed. In Callao, likewise, the popular feeling in favour of Castilla was very apparent. Private ad vices inform us that, at the moment of the steamer's leaving Callao, Castilla was very near Lima, if not actually in the city. Bolivia was quiet, and the President Belzu had furnished the Peruvians with all his spare arms and ammunition. El Progresso of Guayquil, under the head of the "New California is Ecuador," says : "Gold is found in abundance in the province of Cuenca. Dr. Mariano Marino has taken out five aro has (251 b. each). At the present time many companies are formed, to one of which Colonel Casilari is attached, and we know that, after a few days' work, a dividend of 20oz. each was paid. The city of Cuenca is situate in a most beautiful valley ; it contains about 20,000 in habitants." Respecting the revolution in New Granada, we learn that en the 21st of September Colonel Pena had been defeated, and the capital of Tunja occu pied by the Constitutional party. The project relative to the formation of an independent state of the Isthmus was to be brought forward in Con gress. • - From Jamaica there is no news. De Cordova's Intelligencer says : "Our market retains a steady aspect with rather an upward tendency of prices. Importations have been light during the last fortnight, and demand perceptibly checked by our English and A merican advices. Bread stuffs maintain their position, and, with the exception of flour, are. scarce. Co.), in tierces, has with difficulty ,hold its ground at 18s. Other descriptions of fish are firm. Exchanges are at last quotations, and in the pro duce market a slight elevation is perceptible." In pimento, sales aro reported at 30s. to 303. Gd. per 100 lb. ; sugar, 15s. to 18s. ; rum, 3s. 9d. to 3s. 10d. per gallon, for proof 18, in bond ; log wood, 40s. The brig Flora, bound for Baltimore, had got on the reef facing tho barracks at Falmouth, and remained stranded with no hopes of getting off. From British Guiana we have accounts to the 9th of November. The drought still continued and was beginning to tell upon ihe young canes, although sugar-making progressed favourably. The crops of every description except sugar had suffered severely. The crop of sugar would be a heavy one, as 38,000 hogsheads had been shipped to the end of October. The colony was healthy. Trade dull. Tonnage was in demand, but the rates of freight unaltered. Clean bills of health are now given in Barbadoes. The Barbadoes Globe, in reference to the state of the island, says : " The agricultural prospects of the island are most cheering. The long drought which preceded the advent of the cholera told upon the canes, but they rapidly re covered under the influence of the wet weather which followed the cessation of the sickness ; and the heavy rains which we have had during the last several weeks having restored them to a condition of vigorous health fulness their present appearance fully warrants us in predicting a large sugar crop. "There have been several arrivals of breadstuffs during the last fortnight, and prices have somewhat declined ; trade, however, continues dull, owing to the prevailing scarcity of money, and the continued abundance of na tive ground provisions." • The cholera has entirely disappeared from St. Lucia, and clean bills of 'health had been issued. The weather was very unsettled and rainy. The Lieutenant-Governor had issued a commission nominating a local committee for the Patriotic Fund. On the 4th the Magdalena communicated with her Majesty's ship Buzzard, off Jacmel. Het Majesty's ships Imam's, Vestal, Wolverine, and Bermuda were at Jamaica, and the Devastation at St. Thomas's. THE NORTHERN SHIPWRIGHTS.—SUNDERLAND, NOV, 30 . —The strike of the shipwrights, at first confined to Sunderland, now extends in a greater or less degree to most of the ports along the north east coast, and there seems little prospect at present of a termination to it. All hands on the Tyne are off, with a few limited excep tions, as at Howdoc. At Hartlepool the notice of a re duction of wages was given by the masters, but in one or wo instances withdrawn, At BlSith there has been no Ohange. On the Wear five or six yards are at work at the old wages of 6s. a-day, but there are only a few men at each. The total number of men idle in the several ports is about 1,870.

(Applause.) Reluctant was all England to break our long career of peace, bet war having been forced upon us we are de termined to carry it on, that in future other countries shall be reluctant to make war with us. (Cheers.) Go vernment is resolved, the people are resolved, and with- • in a few days Pai Lament is to meet to give final effect to that resolution. (Hear, hear.) Sixty•two thousand - VIM Itre - At this moment voluntarily serving on board her Majesty's ships, raised without bounty and without im pressment, eager only to encounter those fleets which cower behind the fortresses of the enemy. (Cheers.) The army records of danger and suffering only increase the spirit of volunteering, and the militia are eager to depart themselves, or to take the place of those who have volunteered for foreign service, for the relief of our brave countrymen in the Crimea. (Applause.) All this is, indeed, encouraging ; and, gentlemen, mingled with the sense of bereavement of those braVa soldiers who have fallen in the East, one feeling of proud satisfaction flows in our bosoms. It is this—we do not think that Sir Geo. Cathcart and his colleagues have fallen in vain. We believe that the blood shed in the Crimea will produce such a crop of confidence in British valour, and respect o Great Britain, that when once an honourable peace has been achieved, that peace may be lasting and inviolable. (Immense cheering.) I will add my conviction that yeu would not have lent your support to the war with the cordiality and enthusiasm you have evinced, had you not believed it was forced upon those who guide our councils by consideration s of humanity and justice. (Cheers.) It is not for us to presume to look behind the it scrutable veil of God's providence ; but this we may venture to hope, that those countries in which the war is being carried on, and which have been completely closed from the circumstance of <nations turrouhding theM from intercourse with other lands, may now feel the civilising influence of the western world, and that when tkis war is over, and peace again restored, it may be udder circumstances which will open these beautiful regions of the world to all the beneficial influence of commerce, of civilisation, and of Christianity. (Cheers.) THE AUSTRIAN ARMY. According to the new organisation of August, 1, 1852, the Austrian army consists of— INYANTRY. 62 Regiments of the line, each of 6,869 men Men. 14 Frontier regimeists 1 Regiment of chasseurs Division of depot chasseurs CAVALRY. 16 Regiments of the line 2 Regiments light cavalry • 425,878 . 55,200 6,864 . 32,534 .... 20,145 ... 46,851 ARTILLERY.

Marshal Wimpffen's corps stood in Bohemia 30,000 strong, and might, it was believed, be raised by reinforcements from Italy and the south to 120,000 men, with 200 guns. Since then, that is to say last week, the sixth army corps has been carried by the North and South Austrian railways from Styria to Moldavia. MONEY ORDER OFFICES. General Post-office, December, 1854.

MB LORD RECTORSHIP OF GLASGOW to UNITIIRSITY. Tho following letter has been athirersed - by - tito Right Hon. B. Disraeli, M.P., to the Secretary of the College Conservative Club : " Hughendon Manor, Nov. 24. " Sir,—l have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 17th instant, apprising me of the result of the elec tion for the Rectorial Chair of your University. " The Duke of Argyll has received a great distinction, which he deserved, and of which he must bo proud ; and I bog you to believe that his defeated but unconscious oppo nent is also seasible of the honour which he experienced, when you and others of the Conservative party supported his name for so illustrious an office. " Will you express to them, for me, my grateful thanks for their good wishes and exertions ?—Believe me, Sir, yours truly, " B. DieRAELL " James li`Clure, Esq., Secretary." TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR; —Observing in your report of the lose of the Prince that I am mentioned among the number of those who were on board at the time, I trust you will do me the favour of giving publicity to this statement of its incorrectness. I left that ship at Constantinople, before she pro ceeded to the Black-Sea. As the reported loss of this fine vessel has created a great sensation, my opinion as to its probable truth may not be unacceptable. lam not disposed to believe that she has foundered until the receipt of more positive in telligence to the contrary, as, during her voyage to Constantinople, although decidedly too deeply laden, she proved herself, in the worst of weather and under trying circumstances, an excellent sea-boat ; and, from from the high qualities and skill of her commander, Captain Goodall, I cannot think that a ship so perfectly tight as she was cou ld h ave f oun d ere d as so s t a t e d.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, P. J. DICKINSON. General Screw Steam Shipping Company, 17, Cannon-street, London, Dec. 1.
