BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D. 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDak, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. 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 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 catitieo. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are nincipies of personal management which cannot be violated with ,at incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc ceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness 'nay be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

All balances doe to or from any shareholder on banking account are to be transferred as of the afore said day to his shareholder's account, and to be dealt with accordingly." THE MONEY CRISIS. (From the Times' City Article) The Bank Charter Act is abrogated. Its fate at the second time of trial has been the same as at the first. The English Government have resorted to the notification that the Bank are authorised to ex tend their issues on approved securities without regard to the amount of bullion in their vaults, at a rate of not less than 10 per cent. Although the announcement will give immense relief from fears which were rapidly spreading, there can scarcely be an Englishman who will not receive it with deep regret from the humiliation it involves. It must have resulted from one of two causes—either blind fright or an inherently un healthy condition of business which prevented cur merchants from sustaining themselves against a rate of discount such as is borne at Paris, Hamburg, and a number of other centres of commerce. In either case the conclusion is equslly lowering to our fame as a mercantile nation. It is satisfactory t'3 believe that the measure was neither asked for nor recommended by the Directors of the Bank of England, or any delegated representatives of the leading mercantile or banking firms. At the same time, in justice to the Government, it must be ad-. witted that the period had obviously arrived when protective steps of some kind had become absolutely necessary. The position of the Bank of England and the private banks was never one of higher con fidence, but the apprehension was evident on all sides that a withdrawal of deposits from the dis count houses and joint-stock banks might com mence at any instant and totally cripple their power to continue further accommodation ; that the Bank of England, from the point to which their reserve has been brought by the sudden sweeping away of nearly two millions of gold far Ireland and Scotland, could in such case afford no adequat3 help, and come quently that if a resistless panic was not to be considered as having actually_commenced, we were in a position in which no one would calcu late on its being kept off even for a single hour. But there were remedies available other than that of breaking and destroying the law—for a law which has been condemned on each occasion of trial must be looked upon as destroyed. The state to which we had come had not been brought about by any fault of the Government or of the community at large, and it was for those who had occasioned it to find their own means of extrication. They did not look about for those means, because they knew they could obtain relief elsewhere. If this conviction animated them they would long before the present week have concerted measures for de fence. The whole history of our situation is plain. For years past certain provincial joint-stock banks have gambled to an incredible amount by means of what are termed re-discounts—that is, with a limited cspital they have granted accommodation to an almost unlimited extent, sending the large proportion of the bills thus negotiated •to' the dis count establishments in London, who, in turn, discount them for the joint-stock bank on the strength chiefly of the indorsement of such bank, and not upon any careful estimate of the responsi bility of the drawers or acceptors, or the legiti mate character of the transactions they represent. " Of course we are safe with the indorsement of the Liverpool Borough Bank," is the cry. "The character of the business may be doubtful, but its shareholders are all liable to their last farthing." Again, " Why should we hesitate with the Western Bank of Scotland ? Among its proprietary aro two or three names which are alone good for as many millions." But how is the money obtained which is thus freely granted by the London houses I The security relied upon is the ultimate responsibility of a certain number of shareholders scattered over a large district, and which, so far from having any thing iu common with a sound banking security, is wholly unavailable in emergencies, and can never be realised except through protracted lezal pro cesses ; but the money advanced consists of deposits lodged for the most part at call with the dis count houses, or at notice ranging perhaps to a month with the joint-stock banks. Here, then, is a deliberate breach of every recognised banking principle, and it is one that on each occasion of trouble has led to the earns results. The London money-dealers cannot have been insensible to the peril ; but their practice is to carry on the system until its inevitable consequences develop them- selves, and then' to seek safety by cutting off facilities" and throwing the applicants upon the Bank of England. Then we have deputations to the Governors, threats that if something is not done the whole trade of the country will be brought to a stand, and an outcry, of course successful after the requisite amount of alarm has been created, for the suspension of the Bank Charter Act. If, however, the example of 1847 had never been set, and these persons had been taught to feel that, happen what might, the laws of the country_ in the full knowledge of which they had undertaken all their operations—would be. rigidly kept invio late, not only would the public never have been disturbed by predictions of coming ruin, but every safeguard that ingenuity could devise would have been secretly prepared to provide for any casualty. If the discount-houses and any of the joint-stock banks apprehended a withdrawal of their deposits to an extent to cause public inconvenience, it was their business to make common cause to guarantee each other's safety, and, if any nominal or contin gent suspension were necessary, to bear the discre dit of it themselves, and not to inflict it on the Bank of England and the country. They could have announced to the public that a run being threatened they bad combined to mitigate its cou sequences • thet, not being able to foresee its pos sible extent, they had agreed to suspend for the moment any return of deposits, and that to meet the difficulty they would issue their promissory notes at three months b?aring 9 per cent. interest, and secured by their common liability. A meet ing of all the principal bankers aiid merchints, in cluding the governors and directors of the Bank of England, might have expressed approval of the wisdom of their course, and before a few weeks had passed these notes would have been at a premium. But, unquestionably, the character of the issuers would have been damaged, since the fact cf their having been obliged to resort to such a method would have fixed them in their right position in re lation to the causes-that had led to it. If any cha racter was to be damaged, it was much more plea sant that it should be that of the Bank of England, the country, and the Government, and, thanks to the complaisance of the latter, they . have suc ceeded in putting it on that footing. To b 3 sure they took care that matters should go to a point at which the Cabinet would have little choice. There was, however, an alternative which, although equally unjust in being an act of Government relief for which there was no true claim, would still have prevented a sacrifice of principle. An issue of one pound notes could have been adopted without 'any infringement of the doctrines on whicff the Bank Charter Act is grounded. The fact that the per mission for the circulation of such notes terminated in 1820 is riot material, as the law could have been set aside on one point as easily as on another. This plan, however, seems not even to have been consi dered. After ten years' experience, therefore,. and all the enlightenment that was thought tolave bee n attained, we have thrown back at once to the dis creditable position we occupied in the last crisis, and all the admirable conduct of the Bank of Eng. land andnf the respectable mercantile publio has b , en rewarded by a proclamation to every specu lator or reckless money-lender who may choose to disregardthe plainest principles of monetary science, th it he will always find his safety in the very panic which his own misconduct has promoted, and that the only persons who will he brought to disappoint ment or confusion will be those who have prudently guided themselves by the law, and have relied throughout upon its inviolability. (From the Morning Post City Article.) The scene witnessed at the discount department of the Bank to-day was of the most exciting charac ter. The pressure for accommodation was general, and the applications, numerous as they were, re ceived attention, but the very extreme rates had to be enforced. As the weekly board is held on Thursday, much anxiety was manifested to become acquainted with the resolution, if any, adopted by the Bank directors. The sitting was very protracted, and, consequently, apprehensions were aroused lest further restrictions might be attempted ; but shortly after three o'clock p.m. it was an nounced that the rate would continue at 10 per cent. No intimation had then been afforded of the probable appearance of a Government letter, but the assurance that the rate would not for the present move above the fixed minimum was cal culated to ease the anxiety which had previously been manifested. During the afternoon it was con fidently asserted that the Treasury authorities were prepared to afford relief, and the intimation to that effect was shortly afterwards conveyed in official form to the Bank ' aria to the Stock Exchange. Money out of doors was certainly less difficult to obtain when the circumstance transpired, and there was more readiness' to extend assistance im mediately it was found that the Premier and the Chancellor of the Exchequer were impressed with the actual importance of the crisis. Although in Lombard-street the demand was great, and not readily respondedto throughout the day the brokers exhibited increased liberality towards the close of the afternoon. As illustrating the terms obtained through discount operations, it may be mentioned that a merchant to-day, in negotiating a bill of four months' date given by one of our best and most flourishing companies, had to pay 131 per cent. for the accommodation. Some of the brokers, it appears, have refused to deal with any paper ex cept at 10 per cent. and 1 per cent. commission. Facts of this description corroborate in their full sense the severity of the pressure in every depart ment. . ~ . , 1 ing to a, close, we h e Act 10 .

But even those.who admit that a time may come when the Bank should ba all° we I to . ex tend its issue mays ill uplioli the Bank Ch enter Act as the law of thwlarri. They may fairly argue that the suspension allowed by Vie Governin-mt yesterday was to save the country from returdiug to a state of barter. Gold is the nvasure of values, and, as long as it bears a sufficient relation tcsthes transactions - of the country, men may be required. to make their payments in it, or in notes imtnedi ate!y convertible. But if fr m any sudden convul sion the metal falls short, is drawn away, and ex hausted at any spot, it cannot be expected that all the hilliness at that spot is at once to cease. There remains money worth-- lands and houses, cotton and sugar, wines and tobacco. All that is wanted to be able to ex press these in the currency which is the general standard of value. Gold has vaniahed, but the coun try has the material wealth which will bring it back again. All is a question of a few months, perhaps of a few weeks. It may in such a case be allowed to the Government to come to the rescue of the nation, by allowing a corporation which has a quasi natipnal character, and is ruled by nationally imposed laws, to create fictitious standards of value, in the shape of bank-notes which have no metallic representa tives. Such a proceeding, however, must be under stood to be an extraordinary proceeding, in Which the community for its own good allows a certain establishment to exceed the limits of safe and:legi timate dealing. In fact, the country must be con sidered as becoming security for the redemption of the extended issue, or, in other words, as itself issue ing a quantity of paper money by its agent, the Bank, in order that the business of the country may be conducted during the temporary abstraction of the usual currency. It is, therefore, no proof of the failure of the Bank Act that at certain times its restrictions should be suspended. -Te fact, o .:a extension of issue should be considered as something s,aperadded. to the ordinary conditions of the Bank's existence. The Act of 11341 - vratrpassed to control - the Bankto .:,_. not to control the nation. Parliament decided, and we think wisely, that it would not in ordinary times trust one great corporation with the power of issuing an unlimited number of notes. This proceed ing is strictly in accordance with the regulations which control the issue of country banks and which restrain London banks from having any issue at all. Whether the amount of surplus allowed to the Bank be sufficient for the ordinary purposes of commerce is, of course, a question for discussion, but the prin ciple which establishes a restriction of some kind has been accepted by the nation in its general course of legislation. It still, however, may be com petent to the country to remedy any abnormal deficiency of the currency by an extraordinary issue, which the Bank may be empowered to Make, not, as it were, on its owil account, but on account of the nation, which may regul a te the amount issued and dispose of whatever profits may accrue by the transaction. This seems to us to be the defence for such an interference of the Government as has just taken place. The suspension of the Bank Act has nothing akin to the system which allows American establishments to flood the country with paper representing only a small percentage of capital, or perhaps no capital at all. It is the ex traordinary device rendered necessary by an extra ordinary conjuncture, *and when the necessity ceases the relaxation may cease too. Still the sus pension of a positive law is a grave matter, and may well nece sitate a speedy appeal to Parliament. (From the Times) At a late hour yesterday afternoon the commer cial public received the news that the Bank Char ter Act had been suspended. The Bank is thus allowed by Government to issue an excess of notes not defined in value, and a promise is given that a Bill of Indemnity will be introduced in the next session of Parliament to free the Bank from the consequences of its conduct, should it be necessary to take advantage of the permission of Govern ment. On the merits of this step we will say but little. It may be consistent with the maxims of political economy to regulate the issue of notes during ordinary timei, and thus to check rash speculation and the embarkation in business of men destitute of capital, while when an actual dearth of money prevails, the chief banking insti tution of the country may be allowed to extend its issue of notes under a public guarantee. But if such is to be the principle of our monetary system, the sooner it is embodied into a law the better. If the Bank is to exceed its legal issue of notes as often as its rate of discount is necessarily raised above a cert ,in point, then an Act of Parliament should establish thu practice on sound and intelligi ble principles. The commercial interests of the country should net be subjected to a system by which a law is obeyed as long as obedience is easy, and temporarily swept away as often as pressure or panic supervenes. The houses which in 1847 and in 1857 have stopped payment before the relaxa'ion of the law may well complain that,Nhile they have been crushed by the operation of the Bank Charter Act, others not more solvent or of higher standing than themselves have been saved by the suspension of it. Whether the Bank avails itself of the privilege accorded to it or not, the in vasion of the law is the same, and those who, trust ing to its inviolability, prudently suspended their payments now find themselves placed at a dis advantage in respect to those whom boldness or good for tune encouraged to hold on a day or two longer. We can well imagine that only the representa tion that great commercial calamities were about to take place has determined the Government to act so bold a part. How much they feel the import ance of the step is proved by what we have now to announce—that it has been resolved to call Parlia ment together at once, in order to settle the tines tious raised by thepresent crisis, and to register for Ministers and the Bank Directors that indemnity for which they are obliged to appeal. A Council will, we understand, be held next Monday, at which probably Parliament will be summoned to meet at the end of 14 days. We may certainly prepare ourselves for a violent attack on the English monetary system as estab lished by the Bank Act of 1844. All the theorists of all the schools of currency will be ready to pounce on what seems the carcass of a dead law. And, in deed, they will have much that is plausible and not a little that is true on their side. Th e l aw is afair weather law, a law for tim es o f s t eady trading and easy ccedit ; its provisions are like the pasteboard defences of the Chinese —strong to look ati painte.l with heavy masses of stones and guns of enormous power, but in reality a weakness and a sham.

CAPTURE OP A KING OP THE BEGGARS. ( From the Ban f fshire Journal.) On Saturday last, the 7th inst., Constable P. Milne, Alves District of the Elginshire Constabu lary, apprehended a bare-headed and bare-footed vagrant at Rhininver, about a mile west from the village of Dallas, iu consequence of several com plaints lodged by several farmers through that parish, complaining against him for forcibly invad ing their houses, and refusing to leave them with out being served with money, &o. Milne conveyed him to Elgin, a distance of 13 miles, and; when brought to the police-office and interrogated as to his name and country, he stated his name was Joan or Shon Campbell, from Strath Gariech; Ross shire. When asked if be had any money, he pro duced a few coppers, and exclaimed, " Oicb, oich, oich ; no, no, no. She has no moneys b u t t a t. Gich, no. No moneys. Very poor." The offi cers, however, were not satisfied with Mr. -Shon's statement, and proceeded to search him, which he most determinedly resisted, and tried : every dodge, and made every kind of excuse he could invent, before he would submit. • However, all was of no use, and search him they would. On doing so they found that he had three waistcoats on. The pockets were all sewed up, and every one of them youtained copper. Attached to every part of the linings ou the breast of each was also a number of bags, all containing penny and halfpenny pietas, and when all were collected and put together, their gross weight was about 20 lbs. When counted, the sum amounted to it. is. in penny pieces, and 17s. lid. in halfpenny pieces, amounting in all. to 1/. 18s. lid., including the•three halfpence prOduced by Mr. Campbell at the outset. Mr. Shon had a four bushel bag on his back, which contained every kind of wearing apparel, and many other articles, which, when weighed after the search, were found to be upwards of nine stone weight, nearly the weight of a boll of meal, and had been carried by Campbell from Rhininver to Elgin, a distance of about 13 miles, in about four hours. Campbell states that he left his native place about the:begin ning of harvest, or as he says, " when the corn was beginning to turn brown," and has collected every article found in his possession since he came from the " ferry over west."
