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 perusa Its particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary that ail 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 removed, and how the evil and its con- equenc :lay be avoided, and above all, hat there h•icarcely any decree c: tysical infirmity or functional ierangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. The A uthor has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in 'he treatment of these delicate complaints, which are unfortunately teen toogenerally confided to the care ot ignorant emnirics, who inflict grea g t injury on those who are induced to place faith in 'Omit pretensions.

Most of the chiefs are, by this time, arrived at the seat of war. The Commander-in-Chief, Lord Raglan, it appears; left her Majesty's paddle despatch vessel, Lieut. Commander Derriman, and went on to Constantinople in the hired screw-ship Emu, leaving on the 26th, having remained only a few hours at Malta. As we anticipated, Major-General the Duke of Cambridge has gone by way of Trieste. He must have crossed over to Corfu in one of Lloyd's paddle mail steamers, whither the Caradoc was to proceed from Malta for the purpose of taking his Royal Highness to Constantinople. The Earl of Lucan is not a brigadier, as described by some of the papers, but a major-general. He will be commander-in-chief of cavalry. Brigadier the Hon. Yorke Scarlett, in command of the heavy division of cavalry ; and Brigadier the Earl of Cardigan, in command of the light division of cavalry for the East, leave London to-morrow. NOTIC E.

Captain Elliot superseded Captain Scott in the com mand of the St. Vincent, 101, at Portsmouth yesterday. The Stromboli, 6, paddlewheel steam-sloop, Comman der Robert Hale, returned into Portsmouth harbour from Spithead yesterday afternoon, to complete her re fit and make up her crew. The Alecto, 5, paidlewheel steam-sloop, Commander Crofton, will leave Portsmouth for Woolwich this morning tf, to paid-off and 'repaired. Tip w a s siss of 40 of -her chew lave voilinteerW for tha.,--4;nrytlice, 26, Captain Ommanney, fitting for particular service. The Centaur, 11, paddlewheel steam-frigate, Captain Harvey, will be placed in the steam factory basin at Portsmouth this day, to undergo repairs. She will be paid off. The Gladiator, 6, paddlewheel steam-frigate, Captain Broke, bent sails yesterday in Portsmouth harbour, and will go to Spithead to-day. She will sail in a few days for the Baltic fleet, offering the next opportunity for letters. The Tyne, store-ship, full up with every kind of pro visions for the Baltic fleet, and carrying letters and packages for officers and men, sails from Portsmouth this morning for the fleet direct. The Brisk, 14, screw-corvette, Commander Seymour, will be ready to leave the dock at Portsmouth this day. It is expected she will be sent to the Baltic. The Sealark, 8, Lieut. Fenwick, came into Portsmouth harbour yesterday from Spithead. She put back from her cruise in search of prizes in the Channel, owing to the appearance of one or two cases of fever among her crew. No. 32 transport arrived at the Motherbank yester day from the westward, and anchored. The Tartarus, 4 guns, paddle-wheel steam-vessel, Lieutenant Commander Richard H. Risk, left Sheer ness at 6 30 p.m. on Sunday, for the Elbe and Weser. Lieutenant Marcus E. Smithett (21st June, 1853), from the Tribune, 31, screw, now in the Baltic, arrived at the Nore on Saturday evening last, in charge of the Russian Finland barque Phcenix, taken by the Tribune on the 12th of April last, off Gothland. The Phcenix, had on board when taken 70 persons, including her own officers and crew. The passengers on board consisted of officers and seamen whose vessels had been sold at neutral ports ; they were all landed at Copenhagen except the master. At the time the Phcenix was preparing to anchor at the Nore, one of the seamen belonging to the Tribune fell off the main-yard and broke his thigh bone. The Phoenix, at the time she was taken, was a slight ship, clean swept, for the accommodation of the passengers, who, with the crew, were liberated on the promise that they would not take up arms against any of the foreign Powers now at war with Russia. Many of them expressed a desire to be taken to London and liberated there, as that would give them a much better chance to enter into the mer chant service‘ef neutral or other vessels trading to Aus tralia, &c. This request, it appears, the authorities (under present instructions) could not comply with, and they were obliged to accept their liberty on the terms laid down for them by the present Admiralty orders issued to the commanders in the Baltic. The crew of the Nile, 91, screw, were exercised at general quarters yesterday, and the quickness of their movements was a source of admiration to many of the port officers. The landsmen and ordinary seamen who form part of her crew promise well. The Nile is fully manned. Her armaments consists of 24 32-pounders, 8 feet long, and weighing 42 cwt., on her upper deck ; 28 32-pounders, 9 feet 6 inches long, weighing 56 cwt. ; 6 8-inch, 9 feet, weighing 65 cwt., on the main deck ; and 18 8-inch, weighing 65 cwt., with 14 32-pounders, 9 feet 6 inches, weighing 59 cwt., on her lower deck. Her entire carriage of stores of every description weighs 2,200 tons. Her draught of water is aft 26 feet, and forward 24 feet 6 inches, giving an advantage of 1 foot 6 inches in favour of the depth of her screw propeller. The Miranda, 15 guns, screw steam-ship, Captain Edmond M. Lyons, has been inspected by Vice-Admiral the Commander-in-Chief at Sheerness. The entire crew were put through their various evolutions of great gun exercise, &c., which they performed in a very satisfactory manner, The Miranda is under orders to leave for the Baltic at 9 a.m. to-morrow. The following appointments have been made : Commander Frederick H. Stevens (1854), recently promoted from First Lieutenant of the Hogue, 60, screw steam ship, to the Calcutta, 84, at Devonport. Lieutenant Edward S. Meara (1854) to the Phcenix, screw steam-sloop, for service in the Arctic regions. Second Master John D. Switzer (1849), from the Horatio, 24, screw steam ship, to the Scourge, paddle wheel steam sloop, at Portsmouth. Midshipman James S. Graham to the Waterloo, 120, flag-ship, at Sheerness. Messrs. Gisborne, Horner, and Henry Patrick Brenan passed examinations yesterday at the Royal Naval Col lege, Portsmouth, for Clerks' Assistants, R.N. Naval Cadet F. C. Law, first nomination. Mr. John Miller, storekeeper at Chatham Dockyard, will retire from that office in a few days. Mr. Blessly, foreman of shipwrights at Chatham, has been removed to Portsmouth. Mr. Cater, measurer at Chatham, has been appointed foreman at Devonport, vice Creed, de ceased. Mr. Martin, measurer at Portsmouth, has been appointed foreman at Chatham, vice Bles ly ; the latter two officers have received their promotion in accordance with the late order in Council directing an examination in the practice and theory of the profession of shipwright officers. Mr. Fowles, foreman at Malta, it is expected, will be appointed to one of the home yards. An exa mination will shortly take place at Devonport of the candidates for the vacancy that will thus be caused at Malta. The Simoom, 18, iron steam troop frigate, Captain Smith, will move out of the steam f a ctory,,basin at Portsmouth this morning, and haul alongside the jetty of the dockyard in readiness to embark the 79th High landers. The Master-General of the Ordnance has notified in a general order that he has approved of Colonel James A. Chalmer performing the duties of Director -General of Artillery during the absence of Colonel Cator in Turkey, in addition to the duties which he has to perform at present as Inspector of Artillery. Lieutenant-Colonel Lake, Royal Artillery, and Cap tain Patton, Royal Artillery, left Woolwich for Turkey, via Paris and Marseilles, on Thursday morning, the 27th ult. Captain Montresor's Company, 6th Battalion of Ar tillery embarked at Roff's wharf at 4 o'clock p.m. on Saturday last for conveyance to London, to take a passage for Leith Fort, where the company is to be stationed, and to relieve Captain Cra.wford's ; the latter proceds to Hull to relieve Captain Broughton's Com pany, 2d Battalion, which is under orders to return to head-quarters at Woolwich. Captain Graydon's Com pany, Ist Battalion, has received orders to return to head-quarters from Portsmouth, and will arrive at Wool wich to-day. THE TRANSPORTS.-It is now reported that the mag nificent screw-ships, Himalaya, belonging to the Penin sular and Oriental ompany, and the Prince, belonging to the General Screw Company, are not to convey the cavalry. Three smaller vessels, engaged by Mr. Cunard at Liverpool, screw-steamers, that have been employed in running to Brazils, have been taken up by the Ad miralty, and are to be fitted forthwith for the reception of the horses and men.

The town of Odessa was founded by Catherine 11. after she had extended her dominions, in 1792, to the banks of the Dniester, and in 60 years it has become the emporium of the trade of Southern Russia. Its popu lation, exclusive of the garrison, exceeds 70,000, and the total amount of its export and import trade was valued in 1849 at about four millions and a half sterling. The town is built on cliffs, which rise to a considerable height above the sea, and form a sort of amphitheatre round the bay. It is fortified according to the modern prin ciples of defence, and the citadel, on the east side of the town, commands the port. The port itself is formed by two large moles, one of which is regularly defended by a parapet, with embrasures for cannon. The anchorage in the bay is good, and the water so deep that vessels of the first class may lie within reach of the shore. It seems, however, by the brief account which has reached us from Vienna, that the only practicable harbour was attacked on the 23d by nine steamers of the fleet, and that one small battery was destroyed, and the ships in the harbour burnt. It is added that the city was bom barded with shells and rockets for ten (or, as another account says, two) hours ; but, as this information has probably been transmitted to Vienna through Russia, we must suspend our opinion upon the data* of this _ affair until they are made known to ua upon more trust worthy authority. . _ The evacuation of Little Wallachia is not only con firmed, but it is already known that the Turks have ad vanced into the country as far as the river Schyl with out seeing an enemy. It is further known that on the 24th the Russians commenced their retreat from Kra jova, and have broken up their position in that town, which was for some time the head-quarters of Prince Gortschakoff. The right wing of the Russian army will therefore probably rest on the river Aluta, with its head-quarter at Bucharest, and the main interest of the campaign is once more concentrated on the operations below Nicopolis, and especially between Rustchuk and Silistria. There is reason to believe that the bombardment of the latter place was confined to the fire of some heavy guns placed by the Russians on the opposite bank of the Danube ; but the river in that place is 1,000 yards wide, and Silistria itself lies about 600 yards from the right bank, so that this fire must have been directed against the place at a range of nearly a mile, and no very important results could be expected. Now that the moment has arrived for the more active operations of the allied forces by sea and land, and the season has also returned at which the waters of the Danube rise, we hope to learn that the Admirals are in a condition to open the navigation of the Danube to at least the smaller steamers of the fleets. It must surely be practicable to force a passage which was open until last summer to the steamers of the Austrian Lloyd, and is now only stopped by the bar recently allowed to accumulate at the Sulina, mouth ; and it is obvious that the command of the river is one of the most essential conditions of success. The forts at the mouth and at Tultscha and Isaktcha are inconsiderable, and our seamen, who have found their way up the Yang tse-kiang and the Irrawaddy without pilots, can surely be left open to the navigation of the Danube. Both for this service and in the Baltic we have no doubt that the Admiralty would find great advantage in multiplying our small steam craft, which ought to form a flotilla for the navigation of shallow waters. Such vessels, fitted with screws, and armed with one heavy gun for and aft, are invaluable for desultory warfare. Their speed enables them to get out of danger from a vessel of supe rior force, and they are admirably adapted for cruisers or coasting operations, especially in waters where three deckers and heavy frigates cannot be brought without danger within reach of the shore.—Times. MB. COBDEN. Mr. Cobden is bold but not fortunate when he plunges nto general politics. His ignorance is of the obtrusive and ridiculous kind, which is sure to meet exposure and to provoke laughter. He has picked up just that very little knowledge which is most dangerous, and he applies his remarkable events in history with about as much judgment as Mrs. Malaprop displayed in the nice derangement of her epitaphs." Mr. Bright's superior acuteness is hardly taxed, indeed, in cobbling his asso ciate's blunders ; but since the latter very sagacious and strong-headed personage has the amiable condescension to edit Mr•. Cobden to the House, we are surprised that he does not take some measures for keeping the original text to safer channels. It is really very melancholy to find an Educator-General making such sad work of his historical parallels as the representative of the Russian party in England did on Friday, when taking up the cause of the Russo-Greek predatory movements on the Turkish frontier. A short time since he was good enough, in a pamphlet advertis ing other people's worn-out fallacies as his own new wares, to recommend the study of a few elementary his torical books to the educated classes of England as an aid in the formation of political opinions. Could he not himself spare so much leisure from the pressing business . of national instruction as to learn a little of the nature of such leading events as the revocation of the Edict of Nantes ? Perhaps some of the short cuts to knowledge which will doubtless be prepared for the coming age of examinations might serve this purpose, and save the en lightened advocate of peace and progress from the pitt falls into which his unhappy audacity is at present so continually betraying him. The cause which Mr. Cobden has taken up as a sequel to his late homily on the pacific mildness which he sup posed the Russian national character to have imbibed from English nurses is worse than the Russian cause it self by so much as the motives of his clients are lower, and their course of action more base, than that of the Czar, their instigator and master. A just indignation has been excited throughout Europe by the direction which the Emperor Nicholas has given to his ambition and to his arms ; but nothing short of disgust will meet the manner in which the Court of Athens has thought fit to do the worst and most ignoble part of his work. The crime of the unprincipled invader is bad enough, but there is something thoroughly despicable and repulsive in the conduct of those who, without the force for open war, or the excuse of an avowed cause, fasten on an opportunity for rapine and violence, in which they trust to buy im punity by insignificance. Such has been the conduct of that weak and corrupt Court, of which Mr. Cobden has ventured to take up the advocacy. Pursuing that line of defiance to all law and honesty, which has long been the rule of Independent Greece, the Court of Athens has notemerely authorised, but has absolutely enforced on its subjects, a serious of aggressions on the Ottoman dominions. The proofs of this, we are as sured, are strong and unquestionable. The Greeks who are exciting the crusade against Turkey are not " a few unsettled and vagrant persons," as Mr. Bright would have us believe, but are men whose immediate connection with the Court it is impossible to doubt ; and the movement which has been excited is evidently not the result of local effervescence, but of a direct and forcible impulse from Athens. These are circum stances under which the interference of our diplo macy and the employment of our ships, of which Mr. Bright complains so bitterly, were both justifiable and necessary. The Porte is fighting our battle no less than its own, and it would be intolerable and dis graceful if we were to sanction or connive at the predatory war of revolution with which Russia, accord ing to its ancient system of attack, has incited the Greeks to harass the Turkish frontier, and to endanger the safety of the interior. But Mr. Bright would have the Go vernment of this country go far beyond the principle of non-intervention with respect to the defence of our allies. He. urges that we should use our strength to for , bid ithe Sultan to defend himself. The English and • French Ambassadors, Mr. Bright is of opinion, should • have forced the Divan to abstain from a measure which • that sagacious and able Government considers essential L to the safety of the empire, but which Mr. Bright objects to as injurious to the commerce of Manchester.

A stop taken last night in the House of Commons is not likely to render the offers more liberal. On the very eve of a financial bargain, for the Government to step forward and to announce that they will want more money still—and mean to ask for supple mentary estimates—is very clumsy, to say the least of it. The Bank of England, according to rumours in the City, in order to smooth the ruffled vanity of the Treasury, is to take at par, though above the market value, 2,000,0001. of Exchequer Bonds. People are beginning to discuss the re newal of the Bank Charter : Mr. Gladstone, it is said, " may insist on a bettlr bargain for the public than was made by Sir Robert Peel;" and so it is insinuated that the Treasury is to be quietly humoured by a little success in a financial operation to favour the Bank. We entirely dis believa the rumour. If such motives could influence pub lic men, now is not the time for appealing to them, for no alteration can be carried into effect in the Bank Charter till after next year, though then preparations for a change may be made. At that time Mr. Gladstone may not be in the Treasury, and to flatter him now might then tell against the Bank. It is said the " Charter expires this year;" but this is a mistake. The abstract of the act of 1844 published by Mr. Macculloch, who is not likely to make a mistake on such an important point, says all the power and authorities, franchises and privileges given to the Bank by Acts of Par liament are continued in full force by this act, except so far as the same are altered by this act, subject, neverthe less, to redemption upon the terms and conditions follow ing —viz., at any time upon twelve months' notice to be and upon hu certa in _ s n o.t, b repaymentsgiven after beingthe Ist m d a a c y te obfyApnagrul Parliament, fore next year can the notice of r edem p given though, if then to be g iven, the means of r e p a y ment, tion .T be l e Bs nt s , e must be prepared ; an d not before the I st day of Au gu st, 1856, can the charter be extinguished. T ill the end of that period the interests of the country have been impro vidently pledged to the Bank, and neither the Bank nor the Government is yet devising the means for redeeming or renewing the pledge. Distant, however, as is the period of renewal, it is not now premature to prepare for it in order to prevent the public interests from being improperly bargained away in 1855 as in 1844. What was then done is now almost forgotten by some, and by others was never known, and therefore we shall state the principal provi sions of the act of 1844. The Bank of England dates from 1694, and the act of 1844 continued the charter granted by previous acts of Par liament. By that act, however, a great alteration was made in the constitution and functions of the Bank. A wish then prevailed to place the issue of all paper money in the hands of Government, and though Sir Robert Peel would not do this directly, he essayed to do it indirectly. That act began by declaring "that it is expedient to regu late the issue of bills and notes payable on demand!' A similar assumption was, we believe, never before made in England, and it seems the forerunner of a law, also de clared expedient by some writers, for placing all bills as well as promises to pay on demand under legislative con trol. In order to carry out this newly-found expediency, the Bank was divided into two branches, one called the "Issue department," the other the "Banking department." The former has all its operations regulated by law, and is completely and entirely the instrument of the Govern ment. The latter is left to the management of the direc tors, and from it the merchants and the Government bor row, and by it is the rate of discount settled, loans made, Sic. For the proceedings of the issue department the Legis latura is responsible ; for the banking department the directors must answer. _ _ The law directed the Bank to place in the issue depart ment 14,000,0001. of securities, and so much of the gold coin and gold and silver bullion then in the Bank as was not required in the banking department, The directors were permitted to diminish these securities and to restore the amount to 14,000,0001., but were prohibited to aug ment them beyond 14,000,0001. except in case of some pri vate bank ceasing to issue notes, when, by consent of her Majesty in Council, the Bank might increase its securities to the extent of two-thirds of the amount of bank notes the private bank was authorised to issue. The Bank was prohibited from having in its issue department more silver than one-fourth part of the gold hold at the time by the Bank. Having thus provided a fund in the issue depart ment, the act directed that an amount of notes equal, with the Bank of England notes in circulation, to the aggregate of this fund, should be created and issued to tho banking department. Thus the issue of notes by the issue depart ment is always to be equal to the aggregate of its securities and its bullion. _ _ The Act authorised all persons to demand notes of the issue department in exchange for bullion of standard value at the rate of 3t. 17s. 9d. per ounce ; and of course persons holding bank notes are entitled to demand of the Bank coin of equivalent value. Thus as gold is carried to the issue department, whether by the banking department or the public at largo, notes equivalent to the gold in value at the above rate are issued, and as gold is withdrawn notes are cancelled. Only as the aggregate fund varies can the issue of notes vary. Thus the amount of the fund and all the proceedings of the issue department aro prescribed by the act. Under the influence of a false theory, and an ambitions desire of regulating credit money, the Legisla ture was induced to take on itself the duty of prescribing the issue of bills and notes payable on demand. The Bank was used as its instrument, and was a part of the Govern ment. The Act of 1844 incorporated the joint-stock bank with the public administration for the regulation of the currency, and from that time the ministers became as much responsible for the issue of bills and notes payable on de mend as for any other department of administration regu lated by law, and placed under their sunerintenilence. For the public the issue department is intern esting only as the gold goes out and comes in. As the rule the amount of securities in this department remains unchanged, and, in fact, has not been changed since the act cause into opera tion. At its commencement the bullion in the issue de partment was 14.300,0 AV., making, with the securities, an aggregate of 28,300,0001., and the issue of notes was equal. Since that time the extreme variations in the aggregate fund and in the notes have been from 22,506,585/. in May to 35,838,000/. in September, 1852. These are enor mous variations in credit money by no means in accord ance with the steady increase of trade and population, and they are ordained by the law. Remotely they may be caused by bullion flowing into or out of the Bank of Eng land, but immediately and directly they are caused by the regulations of the Legislature, ordaining the issue of notes by the Bank in proportion to its securities. As it is pretty well established that other money dealers and money cor porations follow the Bank, finding or making money scarce or plentiful as the gold flows in and fresh notes are issued, the quantity of bullion in the Bank is watched with con tinual anxiety by persons connected with trade, and de pendent on credit for success. For this continual anxiety the Legislature is exclusively to blame, and all the sufferings now occasioned by continued variations in the abundance or scarcity of money, which is equiva lent to variations in the standard of value, are due to its regulations for the issue of notes and bills. The Act of 1814 ordained the publication of tho Bank accoeuts weekly, but left the day to be fixed by the Stamp-office, which deserves all the blame for the delay of the publication. It settled the sums the Bank are to pay for the profit of issuing the notes, and exempted its notes from stamp duties, and made a variety of other regulations concerning it. The business of the banking department, however, it no further interfered with, except to remove from it to the issue department its superfluous bullion. It further gave a privilege to banks within 65 miles of Lon don, though composed of more than six partners, to draw, accept, or indorse bills of exchange, not being payable to bearer, which had beforo been denied them for behoof of the Bank of England. Finally, so far as the Bank is con cerned, it fixed the possible termination of this law at twelve months after the Ist of August, 1855. If the Act had done no more than this, it would not have carried out the wish of the theorists to control bills payable on demand. A portion of the Act concerns the business of private banking. It prohibits the establish ment of any new bank of issue ; it prohibits any existing bank from increasing its issues of notes ; and it imposes several restrictions on the banks it permits to continue to issue notes. It prohibits banks which cease to issue notes from resuming the issue; it subjects the accounts of all banks issuing notes to examination ; it requires them to be licensed, and places the business of a banker under nu• merous restrictions, like the business of a cabowner or a publican. It is a grievous interference with a great and growing business for a Minister who has earned the repu tation of a freetrader. The Act was a daring violation of the principles ho professed, but it was acquiesced in and even promoted by many other freetraders, who preferred following a man to acting on a principle.

The night was very dark, and the sea exceedingly rough. I was walking backwards and for wards, and was astonished at not seeing any one at the helm. The captain was in Lis cabin. I perceived a light at a certain distance, and I informed the helmsman, who made no reply. I repeated my warning with uneasiness, because it appeared to me that the light was coming to wards us. All of a sudden a frightful shock was felt. The masts gave way. Two sailors having launched a boat I got into it, and this was how I was saved. I heard ' piercing cries, and the voices of women.

PRESTON, MAY I.—The power-loom weavers have at length retired from the struggle is which they have been engaged for the last 35 weeks ; and the Preston strike is virtually at an end. Failing funds have hastened this result—not lack of firmness on the part of the people. It became evident, from the proceedings at the delegate meeting yesterday, that the chief sources of pecuniary support were being dried up, but the public were scarcely prepared for the sudden close of this memorable contest. On the assembling of the delegates the president, Mr. Kinder Smith, appealed to them thus :—lf this battle is lost (said be) the fault will not be with the operatives of Preston, but with the country for not sending suffi cient support. It is for you to say what shall be the result of this struggle ; it is for you to say whether the masters shall succeed in crushing the operatives of this town. To you, then, I commit them, and we vhall see whether you or the employers have the most charity to wards them. After this appeal, instead of the an nouncement of subscriptions, as usual, a delegate from Tadihain rose and moved an adjournment, in order that the representatives of the various districts might confer together in private. This being seconded, was put to the vote, and carried unanimously. I understand that the contributions brought in yesterday only amounted to about 4001., instead of 2,0001., and up wards, as formerly. The result of the conference of delegates was made known this morning by the publica tion of the following address : "To Till TRADES AND PEOPLE OF BRITAIN. " Friends and Fellow-countrymen, —We, the under signed members of the Executive Committee of the Power Loom Weavers' Association, beg to inform you that a combination of circumstances renders it imperatively ne cessary that we should lay before you the position of the Preston weaver. "The successful termination of the late strike at Stock port, which was immediately followed by an advance of wages in Blackburn and other places, led us and the factory workers of Preston to believe that the employers were in a position to give a similar advance, which was conceded by 32 of the employers, but was afterwards taken off through the refusal of four employers to follow the praiseworthy temporary w. e haveclo close. example of th e grea t ma j or it y o f th e t ra d e. Aft er 36 weeks' s t rugg l e, we are obliged to bring the contest to a the universal coemn swept the r tthrtor operatives. b c in om ,a p io e n lle o d f t t e he ad e o m p p t l t o h y i e s rs a , lt w ern ho a s t e iv pa a id y kingdoms for Thesethe means hirelings o f a d g e e st n r t e s ct h i a ou ve to thees o have been assisted in the circulation of their fne arious misrepresentations by a powerful but unscrupulous press, an d by the miscalled guardians of the poor, who have emptied their workhouses of all that could crawl from the gates. "The employers have been further assisted in their un holy crusade by the recent proceedings of a portion of the overlookers, who have lent or sold themselve s to the em ployers to circulate through the country fal se s t a t ements respecting the position of Preston, which have had th e e ff ec t of curtailing the amount of subscriptions in those towns where their misrepresentations have been made. Coupled with those obstacles, the Eastern war, and the unprece dented high price of provisions, have operated as insur mountable difficulties to the continuation of the power loom weavers' struggle. The operatives have therefore been advised to resume work until a more favourable opportunity • as the time will come when that 10 per cent. will be granted to the operatives which is now unjustly and by might withheld from them. "In conclusion, we beg that you will carry out the fol lowing resolution, passed by the Central Committee at their meeting, held on Sunday last : " ' That the executive of the Weavers' Association draw up an address to the country, stating the reasons that have brought the Preston strike to a conclusion, and soliciting the working classes to subscribe to support those whom the manufactures have thrown upon the streets, and to pay off any engagements the executive have entered into.'

This morning the operatives were called together at the usual place of meeting, in order that they might be made acquainted with what had transpired. There was an immense gathering, and the people still seemed full of spirit and enthusiasm. Mr. Cowell was escorted to the cart by troops of friends, and the multitude cheered vociferously. The CHAIRMAN (Mr. Baxendale) said, circumstances have occurred that have compelled us this morning to call you together, in order to lay our position before you. You are all aware of the efforts that have been made by the associated masters for the purpose of destroying this movement. You all know the course the Stockport masters have taken with regard to the wages paid in that town. You also know the course taken by tho masters of Darwen and of Elackburn—namely, a redu tion of 10 per cent. Under these circumstances, we felt it our bounden duty to call you together, knowing that when the reduction in Blackburn and in Darwen takes place tne excitement will be such that it will be impossible to keep those hands in the mills. The consequence must be that our funds would drop off, and the weavers would be compelled to resume work. Now, in order that we may not drive the struggle on to such a length that the people should suffer more than they have done, we have determined to retire until a more favourable oppor tunity presents itself. (Hear, hear, and cheers) I am proud to say that during a cold winter with only Is. each per week, the people of Preston have conducted themselves with such propriety and decorum as to have gained the respect of the whole country. You have stood nobly to the cause in which you embarked, and depend upon it that, although we have to resume work now, the masters have not been able to accomplish the object they had in view. (Hear, hear.) We advise you, then to return peaceably and comfortably to your work, and, depend upon it, the day will conic when your demand will be granted without either strikes or lockouts. (Cheers.) Mr. COWELL, after some introductory remarks, pro ceeded as follows :--Though it may be said that we on the present occasion have suffered a defeat, let me tell you, my respected friends, that had it not been for. this agitation, which we are now bringing to a close, I feel perfectly satisfied that the operatives of Preston, Blackburn, Stock port, Manchester, and every other manufacturing town in the kingdom, would at this time have been working at a reduction of 10 per cent. (Hear, hear.) I believe that we have prevented a re duction taking place for the next ten years, and that, if ever the time should come when another reduction is contemplated, it will never come under the denomina tion of alO per cent. That cry has resounded so often in the ears of the manufacturers of Preston that they will fur ever be disgurr.ed when they hear the name of " 10 per cent." mentioned. (Hear.) While we now ..dvise you to return to your employment rest assured that whenever a reaction takes place in the commercial affairs of this coun try, the telling-note shall again be sounded in Preston — "Ten per cent., and no surrender." (Loud cheers.) But you, the working bees of Preston, of Blackburn, and of other towns and districts, must be prepared for the emergency, and whenever the demand is made, if we have a good fund at our back, it is my decided convic tion that the employers will give the advance rather than risk another turn-out. (Cheers.) I have a word of advice to give to the masters of Preston. When two contending armies meet, and one has proved successful, I would ask the employers of Preston to reflect whether it would be right for the victorious army to pursue the enemy after they had grounded their arms, and ride roughshod over them ? I hope the employers will take this advice. Now that we have withdrawn from the field, I hope and trust they will be willing to open their gates and let you resume your work. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Cowell then reviewed the various kinds of opposition the operatives had had to encounter, and, after recom mending them to preserve their union, he retired amid general acclamations. Messrs. Waddington, Grimshaw, Walton, Worswick, Matthew, and Smith also addressed the assembly. The following resolution, moved by Mr. MATTHEW and seconded by Mr. COWELL, was carried unani mously : "That the best thanks of the people of Preston be given t o the trades of England for their munificent support during this protracted struggle." The CHAIRMAN announced that 4001. or tioo/. was ex pected from Blackburn that day, and that, together with the money received yesterday, would be divided among the hands. Several hearty cheers were then given for the 10 per cent., and the multitude dispersed. WRECKS AND SALVACE.—A Government bill for the amendment of the law. relating to wrecks and salvage has been printed. It contains six clauses, which provide that the Receiver General is in future to conform to the directions of the Board of Trade, and that after the next vacancy the office in question will not be filled up, but its duties and functions transferred to the Board of Trade. Officers of the Customs or of the Inland Revenue are to be appointed to act as receivers ; and the provisions of the Salvage Act, 9th and 10th Vict., c. 99, are extended to Scotland. A scale of fees is also affixed to the bill, ' and all sums thus received will be carried to the Mercan tile Marine Fund, and a separate account kept of them. MR. HOLFORD'S PROPERTY.—There is no foundation whatever for the statement alleging that Mr. Holford, the rich American merchant, lately deceased, had left his property to the Prince of Wales. There were some idle rumours about the neighbourhood that Mr. Hol ford sometimes used to say, when the improvements and decorations of his houses and grounds in the Re gent's Park were referred to, that he intended them for the future residence of the heir appa, ent to the Crown. This may have been idle badinage only. Some people, however, still say that it was his serious inten tion to bequeath his house and grounds—if not the whole of his property—to the Royal Family. If he ever in tended anything of the sort, it is certain that he did not carry out his intentions. We Lelieve the f lets to be, that in 1845 Mr. James Holford made a will, by which he appointed his brother, John Holford, of Alanchester, and his nephew, John James Itolford his executors, %rid authorised them at his decease to sell and dispose of his real and personal estates, and to divide the proceeds thereof among the children of his sa'id brother J ohn, in chiding the said John James liOlford. He also em powered him to call in all moneys out on mortgage, and to convert all bills and securities for money into cash, for the same trusts and purposes, to apply all his per sonal estate inithe same manner. The above-named executors having died in the meantime, the other chil dren of Mr. John Holford have become entitled, and are represented by two sons of the former, Henry Shaw Holford and Frederick Shaw Holford.
