BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, 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 equences 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. 1:s 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 that all men should know that there are rinciples of personal management which cannot be violated with , ut 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 bitternessinay 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.

(Loud applause.) In answer to an elector, Mr. LINDSAY said he be lieved that Mr. Lowe would be in a position to bring in a bill early next session for the abolition of passing tolls ; the Mersey Conservancy Bill passed last .escioti, being an important step in the direction of the abolition of all local burdens on shipping. Willi regard to a Reform Bill, that was a delica - e question. He (Mr. Lindsay) had a great regard for Lord Palmerston—he was just the man they wanted for a pinch. But he was not certain that Lord Palmerston was a thorough reformer. He was afraid a Reform Bill brought in by his lord ship might not be a bill that reformers would ac cept, or that would give satisfaction. He thought. at all events, that during next session Parliament would be occupied with the affairs of India, and the questions of reform necessary there. But be hoped when a measure was introduced, it would be fora thorough reform, which all reformers could heartily support. (Applause.) Votes of thanks to Mr. Lindsay and the chair man were carried with cheers, and the meeting broke up. tESTIMONIAL DINNER' TO T. 'B. SIMPSON, ESQ. A very splendid dinner was given last evening at the Ljndon Tavern to Mr. Simpson, proprietor of Cremorne Gardens, and a superb silver vase pre sented to him as a testimonial from his friends of the high esteem which they entertain for his per sonal character, and his exertions to promote the amusement of the people. Upwards of 200 gentle. men sat down to a banquet served up in the best style of this establishment. The chair was taken by W. G. Lyle, Esq. After the usual loyal toasts, The CHAIRMAN proposed the toast of the even ing, and said that, though the duty might be placed in better hands, he did not regret being in his pre sent position, for it was one which he hadgreat plea sure in proposing, because, in his opinion, it de served every mark of respect at their hands. The toast was that of "T. B. Simpson, Esq." It was to him as chairman a source of the greatest plea sure to present to his worthy friend, their honoured guest, the handsome testimonial which then lay before him, and to express a wish that 113 may live for many years not only to remember with pleasure the honour conferred on him that evening, but always to bear in mind it was given for conducting so efficiently and satisfactorily the establishment of of Ciomorne Gardens. He proposed, therefore, " Many years of health and happiness to Mr. Simp son, and may success attend the establishment of Cremorne."

It is of massive silver, represent ing the vine, its root, branches, leaves, blossom, and fruit, artistically encircling a ruby glass, resting upon a solid silver base, surrounded by a rich and appropriate plateau, with borders to match. On one side the following inscription is engraved : " This Vase, the gift of a numerous body of neighbours and friends, chiefly residents of Chelsea an d it s v i c i n i ty, was presented to Thomas Bartlett Simpson, Esq., of Cre naorne, at a public dinner, held at the London Tavern, on Tuesday, Nov. 3, 1857, in testimony of the contributors' esteem for his general character, and approval of the arrangements in providing healthful entertainments for the people, and their confidence that the high reputation which he has established in that capacity will be main tained." On the other appears the Cremorne Arms. The height of it exceeds 36 inches, its diameter 18, and weighs 350 ounces. It is manufactured by Mr. Hancock, '39, Bruton-street, Bond-street. Mr. SimPsoN, in rising to return thanks, ap peared to be much affected, and said that it was impossible for him to express the feelings which agitated him at that moment. He felt an insur mountable difficulty in giving utterance to his sentiments, but he could honestly assure them that he never felt so happy iu his life. (Hear.) There were many in that room who had known him upwards of 30 years; and when he came into the room he had the pleasure of shaking hands will. those whose friendship and esteem he had at all time 3 held in the highest regard. It was impossible for him to acknowledge, in terms sufficiently adequate, his gratitude to those gentlemen who placed him in his present high and elevated position, and especially was he indebted to his worthy friend Mr. Carter, who was a perfect stranger to him until these pro ceedings commenced. He had also to express his acknowledgment to his friends Mr. Till and Mr. Dowling, whom he had not likewise the plea sure of knowii, g until the same opportunity occurred. He could assure them that, however much he was opposed, he had the pleasure of receiving expressions of the most entire confidence and approval from those whom he considered to be an independent portion of the Chelsea vestry, which he acknow ledged with the deepest gratitude ; and his warmest thanks were also due to Mr. Tubbs, the chairman of the Kensington division of magistrates, who, on the occasion of an attempt being made to deprive him of his license, proposed that it should be granted unconditionally. (Hear.) To that gen tleman he had. also to express his gratitude ; for he would indeed be an ungrateful member of society if he did not take tliat opportunity of publicly thanking him for the manner in which he h a d acted. He felt himself to be under an obligation to his friends which he could never repay, because he felt they presented him Chet evening with a splendid testimonial with a knowledge that he was deserving of it.

O'Brien, a private in the 18th Royal Irish Regt., who was adjudged to receive 50 lashes, and afterwards to undergo a term of imprisonment in Fort Clarence, for having robbed one of his com rades, and for other acts of theft. The usual preli minaries having been made, the prisoner was sent for from the guardroom, when it was found that during the night he had escaped from his place of confinement and evaded the vigilance of a number of soldiers on sentry by getting clear of the barracks. A searching investigation was immediately institu ted by the authorities relative to the escape of the prisoner, but nothing satisfactory was elicited. It supposed that be must have escaped by means of the guardroom window. The reinforcements for the 3d bat. of 60th Rifles, under the command of Ensign W. L. K. Ogilvy and Ensign H. St. G. Barton, will leave Chatham this morning and embark at Gravesend for Madras, in which presidency the service companies are sta tioned. The strength of the garrison at Chatham having been considerably augmented by the arrival of re cruits for the purpose of joining the Indian depots at the Provisional Battalions, the authorities at the Horse Guards have decided on removing the 3d depot battalion, under the command of Col. R. Sandars, C. 8., as soon as a suitable station can be found. By this arrangement the troops will vacate St. Mary's Barracks, as that establishment will be required for the large number of sick and wounded who are now on their passage home from India, China, and Persia. Lieut.-Col. C. Elmhirst, commanding the 3d bat talion at Chatham, having been appointed to the command of the 2d battalion of the 9th Foot, has been succeeded in his command at Chatham by Col. It. Sandars, C. B. Captain J. V. Montague, 10th Foot, has joined his regiment at Chatham, and taken the command of his depot. Leave of absence has beiin granted to Captain Yard, com man di ng th e :32d depot at Chatham. The Government freight ship Marlborough, with guns, ammunition, &0., in charge of six sergeants of Artillery, was spoken north of the Line, Oct. 5, by the brig Julia, Captain Porter, which arrived at Plymouth on Monday from Algoa B4ty. with the deepest feelings of gratitude, and hoped to transmit as an heirloom in his family. (Cheers.) In returning them his sincere thanks, he hoped they would forget his faults and imperfections, and rest assured of the deep and heartfelt gratitude which he felt for all their kindness. (Cheers.) Lord Wm. LENNOX next proposed the health of the members of the bar, and especislly that of the distinguished gentleman present, Mr. Edwin James, Q.C. (Cheers.) He was himself at all times an advoc de for the amusements of the middle and lower classes of the community ; and when it was said that the morals of the people were thereby affected, he need only refer to many aristocratic places of public amusement, when the contrast would not at all tell against the people. What was sauce for the goose was sauce for the gander, but he was afraid the aristocracy kept the sauce to themselves. (Hear, hear.) He was not ashamed to say that he went to Canterbury Hall on the pre vious night, and was very much amused by what he heard and saw. Nothing occurred there but what was proper, and he was quite delighted with the entertainments. An opposition was also got up against Highbury Barn on the part of some clergymen who resided in the neighbourhood, and why ? Because they heard the people singing "We won't go home till morning. (Laughter.) He had great pleasure in proposing the toast, and coupling with it the n ame o f M r . Ed w i n J ames , w h o m ust', In the course of events, be the Attorney-General of England. (Cheers.) Mr. EDWIN JAMES returned thanks, and assured the meeting that he never in his life entered into a case with so much zeal as he did in the case of Mr. Simpson. He knew he was waging a war against the miserable bigotry of the day, and knowing the large amount of capital embarked, he was determined it should not be jeopardised and destroyed by a miserable species of fanaticism and hypocrisy. (Cheers.) He thanked the noble lord for the kindness with which he proposed his health, and thought ho had never done him self more honour than in advocating amusements for the middle and lower classes. In connexion with the bar he could only say that its independence and integrity were still unbro ken ; and althou g h they may not have now among them a Bro ugham or a D enma n, yet they were still the advocates of lib er ty and of the freedom of the public Press. wouci l i n n . lord for the manner in which they drank his conclusion he bs and begged again to assure them that, should the independence liberty or the o f company th : ; u n jeopardy, the members of the bar would stand up and protect it.

One of the Galway papers (the Tuam _Herald) states that during the last few days a great many holders of National Bank notes have applied for gold at the bank in that town. "The bank (it is added) is meeting every demand by gold, which it seems to hold in abundance. We know not the origin of this run, but we know it is the opinion of all the intelligent men in the community that the panic, which is almost altogether confined to the peasantry, is totally unfounded. It was at the fair of Kilmain, on Wednes day, that the matter was first spoken of." One of the Dublin trade reports states that the bills of th e Li verpoo l B oroug h B an k are held sonic extent here, but not the slightest appie danger sion is e n t er t a i ne d as t o th ere being ally y om of of loss in the matter.

Betting to-day was chiefly confined to the Worcester Handicap, now decided in favour of Laodamia, Weather glass, Laodamia, and Kenerdy being most in demand. Speculation upon the Liverpool Autumn Cup was very limited, many accounts upon the Cambridgeshire Stakes are at present unsettled, the cause of which we presume is, many of the subscribers attending Tatter sall's and the Worcester Meeting.

SIR BENJAMIN HALE, AND THE WELSH FORMER. ese.- - A. few days ago Sir Benjamin Hall, M.P., the Frst Commissioner of Works and Public Buildings, on a visit to his seat at Llanover, in Monmouth shire, presided at the annual meeting and dinner of the Abergavenny Agricultural Association, held in that town. There was a well-contested ploughing snatch in the early part of the day, and an exhi bition of cattle and sheep, horses, implements, and poultry. Prizes given by the Earl of Abergavenny, Sir Benjamin Hall, and Colonel Clifford, M.P., were also awarded f r the best specimens of garden culture, and for which there was a strong competi • tion. The dinner, at which about 120 persons were present, took place at the Angel Hotel, and the company was composed chiefly of the neigh bouring gentry and farmers. The usual formal toasts having been drunk, Sir B. HALL said,—Having gone through the general routine of toasts, I will now propose the toast of the evening ; and, as it is usual on all similar occasions for the person who fills the chair to make some prefatory remarks in introducing the sentiment of prosperity to the association over which he presides, I will endeavour to make some observations which shall be brief in character, avoid ing as much as poss ib le the example set by some other gentlemen who preside at meetings similar to this, and endeavouring directly to confine myself to the object in view. r shall °whew all political observations, because they are not only distasteful to myself, but are nei on enial_nor apposite to the occasion which hoffebroug us together. We have heard from the judges this evening that they are well satisfied with the progress which this in stitution has made, and they have expressed their approbation, not only of the stock and crops, but also of the ploughing which they have witnessed. Now, I have lived in this county all my life, and I have a great stake and in terest in it. I have watched the progress of civilisation, of manufacture, and of agriculture, and I am quite sure that no country has made greater advances in agriculture during my lifetime than this. I will tell you an anecdote that I heard my father relate very often. About 45 years ago he endeavoured to persuade his tenantry in the hilly district to grow turnips, that their abeep and cattle might eat them. He was told in very strong and emphatic language by the inhabitants of the district that a Welsh sheep would not look at a turnip, and would scorn to eat one. (A laugh.) The difficulty was to overcome that prejudice and induce the people to grow turnips in order that their sheep might eat them and prosper more. He took the wisest course. We are all Welshmen here, and I should not be speaking disrespectfully—being one of them—if I say that it is of no use whatever to drive a Welshman. You may lead him, but it is impossible to drive him ; and, moreover, it is always better to use persuasion than compulsion, and to appeal rather to a man's good sense than endeavour to force him to do that which is con trary to his own wishes and prejudices. This re minds me that a circumstance occurred the other day which annoyed me very much. I happened to make a road through a part of my estate at Abercarne, and I found there a remarkably fine beech tree ; but its fine silvery bark had proved too strong a temptation to the knives of the idlers, who had inscribed their names, perhaps those of their loves, upon the tree. It was perfectly covered with all kinds of hieroglyphics, which offended my eye. As to putting up a notice that mantraps or spring guns were laid to prevent Welshmen from cutting the tree, I knew that would be useless ; so I put up a notice, written both in , Welsh and Eng lish, "None but fools will inscribe their names upon this tree." (A laugh.) Thus appealing to their good sense, and they not wishing to be in cluded in the category of fools, my tree now remains unmolested by every gentle swain, and no rustic Villikens has since attempted to address his Divah by writing upon it. (Laughter.) But that is rather a digression, and we will go back to the turnips. My father was determined to convince his tenants that Welsh sheep would eat turnips ; so, on the top of a hill, on the very highest point of his estate, he had a very fine field of turnips. It was walled round, and a strong fence was put on the top of the wall, with a kind of the vame do friss to prevent those very amiable quad rupeds, the Welsh sheep, from getting over and destroying the crop. Well, the turnips grew, and winter came ; the sheep began to flock about the roads, and the chevaux de friss was taken down. Over jumped the Welsh sheep—(a laugh)—and of course in a few days the field was filled with them. My father was apprised that this was the case ? and That was a very heinous ten ants, and he put a very high price upon the dam ageohffe offence fdoerda alll landlord or s d he t e o p. commit towards his that had been done. They complained very much about it, but he begged to assure them that the business did not concern them ' • that it could not be their sheep that were poun d e d ; for he had it upon the word and h onour o f W e l s h men th a t th e i r sheep would not so much as look at a turnip. This had the desi re d effect, and at last my father con sented to hav e t h e sheep released from the pound upon the owners declaring that on their con sciences the Welsh sheep would eat turnips. (A laugh.) That was the commencement of turnip growing at Abercarne. We may come to a later date when I went partridge shooting. didf fiWc u l e tfiywan find one s e n d e t oa we findfield l w always yn o s f e h t a u d . r n However,giposo, good sport, s but th t , h e e nf r d w i it was excessively foul, and we generally knew it more by its beautiful yellow tinge than by the green . it ought to show ; and when we got the partridges into the turnips we always bad better sport, because, instead of running into the straight lines mad e b y the drills, they went through the tortuous windings of broadcast, which made it better for us, but not so well for the farm er . (Laughter.) Now we can find in the county as good fields of turnips as any in Norfolk or Lincoln shire, owing to the stimulus given to agriculture by societies such as th ese, and the desire thus created among farm ers to compete with those in the more favoured districts. (Cheers.) lam happy to think that this society goes ou improving. Although I have long been a subscriber, this is the first time j ever had the honour of being present at ono of these meetings ; and it may very naturally be asked, " Why is it that you, a l an d ed proprietor i n the county, and who have an important stake in agriculture, have not been present at these meetings before'?" For the last three years, owing to various circum stances, it has been impossible for me to be present. I allude to duties of a high character which I have to perform ; and previously I would not attend these meetings because I mi g ht b e l o oked upon ra th er as a black sheep in the flock. ("No, no.") Ido not allude to this particular meeting, but there are meetings held in the kingdom of this description, where a person cannot enter unless he is what is called a "farmer's friend;" that is, unless he happens to hold some peculiar political tenets ; and as I do not and never did hold those opinions, rather than throw the apple of discord into the society I stayed away from companyin which I should have been ex tremely happy to mix, feelin g cer t a i n that the d ay would arrive when all this nousence wo uld cease, and when political opinions would be merged on such occasions and I should be able to come and take my place among the farmers of this country. (Cheers.) Although entertaining strong opinions on certain points, it would ill become me to obtrude them here ; and I hope that during the time I have been in this chair I have, by re fraining from so doing, set an example that will be followed. May we never have meetings like this obtruded upon by matters of that character, and may the one effort be to support the toast-, " Pros perity to the Abergavenny Agricultural Associa tion." (Cheers.) At a later period of the evening Sir Benjamin, in responding to the toast of his health, gave a general invitation to the inspection of his farm, and promised that Clow who came should be supplied with every information that Within the last • could be given. six years he said he had converted a desert waste into a fruitful source of produce, and where briars and furze and rank weeds grew they might recently have seen corn growing i n abundance, and mi g ht now see the stacks of corn which did grow there ; and they would see, too, as good fields of turnips as any that had been entered for competition this year. Of course this had been a matter of cost and thought and toil ; but during the time whe n it pleased God to visit him with a great afflictio I —during the time he was deprived of sisht, and while he was unable to take part in the healthful pursuits he be lore enjoyed—to go across the country, or stalk a stag, or knock over a grouse--farming became his pursuit, and had ever since been his pleasure up to the present mti e Ana when he was relieved from the more anxious duties which belonged to his position it was a pleasure to come down to Llan- Over ; and if, by means of the ex amp l e he had set he bad done any good in his sphere he was thankful for it, and he hoped that that example, as far as it was good, might be followed by others and be bene ficial to them. If what he had done could be made of any avail by examination let them come and ex amine it by all means, and he should be happy to see them, and explain what he hail done in de tail. At all events, if they did not follow his ex ample, they would admire the results of his system, for they would see now a smiling farm where for merly there was an unsightly swamp. (Cheers.) The meeting was also addressed by Col. Clifford, M.P., and several of the local gentry present on the occasion. MR. LINDSAY AND HIS CONSTITUENTS. TYNEMOUTH, MONDAY NIGHT. Mr. Lindsay, M.P. for this borough, addressed a large meeting of his constituents in the Assembly rooms, Albion Hotel, this evening —Mr. Alderman Pow, chairman of the Shipowners' Society, pre sided. Mr. LINDSAY was warmly received, and, after alluding to various matters, merely. of local in terest, remarked that, as they were aware, there was at the present time a great depression "in the shipping trade. But it appeared to him there was a better time coming. They had had great reverses in America ; there had been very little ship-building going on there, simply because there was a great want of capital and also a want of credit. It was a remarkable fact and he had noticed it in the course of very many years experience —that if the coal trade was depressed within six months the shipping freights in the In dian trade fell ; and his reason for supposing that the shipping trade would ba properous before tong was, that there was little ship-building going on in America and less in this country, while all the time the trade of the world was going on increasing, ren dering an increase of the carrying trade inevitable. (Applause.) He for one deeply regretted those re verses which had taken place in America ; and he deeply regretted the system of over advances and too great facility for credit out of which they had arisen. He was sorry also that the system was not confined to America. In Liverpool and Glasgow, as well as at New York, over advances were a great evil, because the man of industry who had made his capital by the sweat of his brow also suf fered and fell in the long run with his less prudent competitors. But they would notice that the state of things brought with it to a certain extent itsown remedy, and his opinion was that this tightness of the money market would bring about a more whole some state of trade, in which the shipowners would be materially benefited. One more word about shipping, arising from some conversation he had had with their worthy chairman. A new era in shipping matters was very shortly expected to be introduced by the launch of that vast ship, the Great Eastern. If that ship answered, it became a question how they would stand with their small ships. It was a matter of great interest to all, but particularly to those directly or indirectly interested in shipping, whether the ship was likely to answer commercially or not. He had strong opinions on the subject commercially ; but firstdet him say she would be a great triumph of mechanical art. He believed no finer or stronger ship was ever put to gether. With regard to speed, he doubted whe ther she would attain to what had been stated, though he fully believed she would attain a greater speed than any ship over yet launched on the waters. Our nation had reason to be proud of such a great triumph of mechanical skill. Bat now com mercially—that to them was the most important question, because if such a ship as it was answered commercially, then all their property in shipping must in a short time go to the wall. His expe rience, however, and he believed it would coin cide with theirs—his experience was that they had found they had, in fact, been building their ships too large. The Americans, who were a far-sighted people, had discovered this fact. They said a 3,000 tons ship was too large for the ordinary pur poses of commerce; and it had been found that the ship from 800 to 1,200 tons for the East India trade, was the most profitable description of ship, while from 1,500 to 1,800 tons was about the limit. The course of commerce was, if a Manchester mer chant had a thousand bales of cotton to send to Calcutta, he did not send the whole in one bottom, because that might overstock the market. The merchant did what was called feeding the market. The same thing would hold good as to passengers. They did not all go together or in masses, but at intervals, to suit convenience. So for the purposes of war, politicians found it the wisest policy to send out their troops—not a thousand in one bot tom, much less 10,000 (hear, hear) ; but sent them out in numbers of 400 or 600 at the very most. That was the policy. Imagine, then, a whole army sent out in this Great Eastern. He did not say anything of the risk of a wreck, he did not contem plate any such fearful tragedy ; but suppose her engines went wrong, he said it was not policy to send so many troops ; so that, looking at the matter both politically and according to the ordinary course of commerce, he was of opinion that the ships we had had nothing to fear from the competition of those vast leviathans, such as the Great Eastern. He now came to that question which had caused such great excitement through out this country, and he might say the wcrld—the fearful mutiny in India. Iu doing so he should go back very shortly into a brief review of the history of India. The hon. gentleman then briefly sketched the origin of the East India Company and its &o gress from being a purely trading corporation in 1602 until its assumption of territorial power under Lord Clive, and thence to the present time. In extending the Indian empire as it had boon ex tended, be trusted those who had held tho reins of government had fully considered the serious respon sibility which they took upon themselves in annex ing district after district to the vast extent of ter ritory we now had, because when a people stepped in to assume such a power of government there were responsibilities which could not by any means be violated with impunity. Before assuming it, they out to be prepared at once to govern the peo ple wisely and well. He famed, however, teat the East India Company had not on all occasions go verned India either wisely or well. (Applause.) He did not mean to say that the people of India .wero not in a better position than they were when Clive stepped in to take away part of their territory, because at that time, and long before, India was disturbed by the Mahommedan races and rulers. Originally, as they were aware, India everywhere was governed by the native Hindoo princes, and whether the people had been better under our rule than they were under the rule of their native Hindoo princes was a question he was not pre pared to enter into. He believed they were well governed under the Hindoo princes, because when they looked on India they found vast re mains of roads, reservoirs, canals, and public works, which bad gone to decay, but were evi dently constructed under the rule of the Hindoo princes. He was sure that our government had been more advantageous to the natives than that of the Hindoo princes; though that it had been better than that of Mehommedan princes he did not for a moment doubt. But that was not the question The question was—Had we done all we might have done for India ?He believed we had not. He be lieved we had much to answer for on account of India. He believed that though we had been draw. ing large amounts of revenues from the people of India we had been neglecting public works ; that we had not been opening out canals, or adding to the facilities of communication as we ought to have done—that we had done much, but that we had also left undone much that we ought to have done. When he looked at the enormous revenue derived from India, he askedhow much was spent in public works. And taking Glasgow or Manchester, he found that one of these large cities, viz , Manches ter, had spent more in a year in institutions for the benefit and elevation of the people than the Court of Directors of the East India House had done for the whole of India in the same period. He said we had not governed India wisely, and we had not done it well. To him there seemed a sort of fatility to follow this course of aggrandisement, grasping vast extensive territory without taking the means to govern the territory we had already. It seemed to him it would have been much wiser had we limited our territory and governed it better. We were told that we had been compelled by necessity to increase our territory, but he doubted that much, and he thought we had taken possession of mere territory in India than we could govern well, and that if we had had less we would have governed it better. India was still governe Iby a company of traders, and the machinery was the same as in 1834, when their trading functions ceased. He said the system of double government was not a system to govern wisely ; and from what he bad seen considered that there should be vast change in the government of India. What that change should be it would be presurop nous to a certain extent for him to say ; but it struck him, if they were to govern thepeople of India well, thegovern ment ought to be on the spot, in India itself— (hear) --subject to the check of the House of Com mons. (Applause.) Mr. Lindsay then entered into the subject of the mutiny among the sepoye. He was for no half measures with those traitors.

A NEEDLE EXTRACTED PROM A MAN'S STOMACH. — On Monday morning an extraordinary circumstance took place at the Northern Hospital. A man, named Micharl Haelly, arrived in town by one of the Dublin boats, and presented himself at the hospital, stating that, during the night, he felt a dreadful sharp pain in the pit of his stomach, like the pricking of a needle. Mr. Davis, one of the house surgeons, examined the man, and ob served what turned out to be thread sticking out of the flesh. This he concluded to proceed from the eye of a needle, and he was correct ; for, on drawing it out gently, he also drew a large-sized sewing needle from the man's stomach. The only account the man could give of the singular circumstance was as follows :—He is on his way to Australia ; and, when leaving Ireland, a few days ago, he got some drink when parting with his friends, and that, whilst in a state of drunkenness, be kissed some female relative, and in that operation the needle dropped into his mouth from part of her clothes. Be this correct or not, the needle was dislodged zwl I ndial,i__n:ipi Halfeieehl pereio. omisea ; e t bne, November ou h o2f e v t e G h. mee Office, 139 from its novel case, and Mr. Haelly starts to-day for the land of gold.—Liverpool Times.
