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' Ball, 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 bare produced more misery in Youth, degradation in 31. - -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, end 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 Frinciples of personal management which cannot be violated with out incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc ceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how tnose penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

Out of that noble body of militia which this county produced, and which received, as it deserved, the highest enconiums from the highest military autho rities—out of that body of 770 men, under the ad mirable trainikg of the gentleman who sits on my right hand (a Herts man), no less the* 600 men were contributed to the line. We may well be proud of Hertfordshire, and especially at this mo ment. Ah, who is there who is not thinking of India 1 Has there been a single assembly of this kind—even where the strictest rules prohibit our Itouching on anything not immediately bearing on the subject before us—has there been a single agricultural meeting, where a member of parlia ment has addressed his constituents, when he has not been impelled by the feeling of the meeting to say something on the condition of India ? We all feel confident that no such man would debase such a subject to a party question. (Cheers.) No man, whatever he may think, what ' ever may be his opinion as to the faults or merits of particular parties—no man, I say, in this society, and I 'lupe no inau he England, would be base enough to make a party question of the British empire. (Cheers.) • In this convivial meeting, we cannot recall—it would cause too deep a pang—all that has taken place in India. Of all that has been said on the subject lately, nothing, to my mind, has been better or more to the purpose than a letter of Lord Ellenborough. There is no party spirit there • there is a reservation, so f ar , f or con sideration hereafter, as to what may be our civil or our political duties, but there is the appeal of an old Englishman to English courage, English energy, English determination. And it is perfectly true. It might be quite possible for us to lose India, as if India were swept in' o the ocean, and still to remain a great and magnificent people. But it is im possible for us to remain a great people—l will say it is impossible for us to remain a safe people—if we were to lose India in the way we are now threatened. It is impossible for us to be safe against Europe, it is impossible for us to be safe against any of the despots of the earth, if it could be said, "England, in the plenitude of her strength—England, with her countless army— England, with all her pride, could allow, not only her soldiers, not only the ower of her army, but her women and infants to be massacred, and ceased from the contest before she had achieved a trium phant, an effectual, a permanent victory." (Cheers.) If we could endure that, I believe the ocean would flow around us in vain. I believe the ocean would soon be passed ; that as England has before now been invaded, as . the sea had been crossed when England had not men, as she has now, to defend her, so, though similar atrocities could not take place in tois country, the time might come when England would have to . submit to a foreign de4potism. if England loses her reputation, she loses that which distinguishes her from the rest of Europe. No doubt there is a good deal which we must calmly consider, which it would not become me now to enter on. At present, our duty is not that of calm reflection—our duty is to put down the revolt, and to rally with all our strength around the executive government, no matter in whose hands that government is placed—(cheers)— the executive government which represents the majesty of the Crown, whose bounden duty it is , to preserve the lives of our endangered country men. So long as the danger lasts our tongues are in some degree fettered. While they are puttielg down the rebellion, we must be careful not to utter a single word to weaken their authority. If at this moment a mad bull were lot loose among us, I don't think the best grazier in Yorkshire ~,,,..1.4 induce us to iiateu i,.., .. tonture on the ma nagement of horned cattle in general—(laughter.) 1 think the wisest man would be, not he who could instruct you in the beat method of dealing with dangerous cattle generally, but the man who made the shortest work of the bull. Gentlemen, that is now our object —we must make short work of the bull. (Cheers.) After that we shall have to consider the wisest, or, what is the same thing, the justeat and mildest manth,r, consistent with our empire, of managing the wild cattle we shall have to subdue and tame. (Cheers.) Chrisiianity imposes on us great obligations. The whole ques tion connected with India is so difficult that we ought to have the greatest indulgence for the errors of any government that may have preceded us, and to consider carefully, wisely, and without any spirit of party, how we may best do our duty to God and to that vast population committed to our sceptre. (Cheers.) THE DUKE OF RUTLAND ON TILE INDIAN MUTINIES. LEICESTER, THURSDAY. A meeting of the county of Leicester, con vened by the High Sheriff, in aid of the fund for the relief of the sufferers from the Indian mutinies, was held in the Nisi Prins Court of Leicester Castle ' this afternoon. The attendance, though not very numerous, comprised the leading noblemen and gentlemen of the county and a oensiderable number of the clergy. The High. Sheriff (Mr. E. C. Middle ton) presided ; and there wore also present — his Grace the Duk e of Rutland, Earl Howe. Lord Ber ners, Viscount Curzon M.P., Mr. C. W. Packe , M.P., Sir H. _Raiford (late M.P. for South Leices tershire), Mr. E. B. Farnham, nl3. , Col. King, Sir A. Hazol r i gg , M a j or P owys , Sir J. Fowke, Sir F. Palmer Capt. Knight, &c. The HIGH SH ERIFF , i n open i ng th e proceedings, said, he had convened the meeting in pursuance of a requisition which he had received from a nume rous body of the principal residents of the county. The object of the meeting was to sympathise with the sufferers from the recent Indian revolt, and to enable the people of Leicestershire to express their abhorrence of the cruelties which had b ee n prac tised. He felt persuaded that the county would not permit such atrocities to pass by with out publicly d ec l ar i ng th e f ee li ng with which they regarded them and their warm sympathy with the unfortunate sufferers. (Hear.) He begged to call upon his Grace the Duke of Rut land to propose the first resolution. The Duko of RUTLAND said—Mr. High Sheriff and gentlemen, as you have done me the honour of asking me to move the first resolution on this occa sion, it gives me the great es t gra tifi cat i on t o respon d to the call. I am quite sure that it will not be ne cessary for me to trouble the meeting with any lengthened remarks to induce you cordially to pass this resolution. The resolution itself has a double object. In the first place it calls upon us to ex press our warm sympathy with our fellow brethren who have suffered in the East from mutineers who have basely murdered women and children ; and, in the second place, it calls upon us to add our subscriptions to those of the people of the borough of Leicester, in the hope that by the relief which we thus afford we may in some measure mitigate the bodily sufferings of our country men, though unfortunately, it will be impossible for us to alleviate their mental sufferings. (Hear, hear.) Horrors equal to those which have been enacted in India no age of the world has, I b&ieve ever witnessed. (Hear, hear.) This is not the time to consider what provocation the muti neers may have received, nor is it the time to con sider whether the East India Directors have done their duty, or whether the Government at home have done theirs, as our object now is merely to express our sympathy with the sufferers in the East. But one thing is certain and is agreed upon by almost every man and woman in England— namely, that henceforward we must declare in a more open manner and in the face of day our Christianity. (Cheers.) Unfortunately in India we have gone to the other extreme, and we have endeavoured to conciliate teen who have not had the feelings of men, and who have returned our kindness and our attempts to conciliate them by acts of treachery and murder. (Hear, hear.) Gen tlemen, this mutiny must be putdown. I hope that it may be done very shortly, but whether it is ciushed in a month, or in a year, or in 10 years this country must reassert her dominion. It is not only necessary for our own dignity, but it is a great moral duty, a right that we must perform, and I am quite certain that every Englishman will do his utmost to effect this great nationalobject. (Cheers.) I am sure that every man now present will do all in his power to furnish recruits both for the miliiia and for the regular army, and I am happy to say that the militia of this county, under my excellent friend near m e (C o l. K ing) has near ly received its full complem en t o f men. ( C heers .) His Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chiefstated yesterday st Sheffield that already he considered the turning pint in the mutiny to have been gained, and I trust that by the next mail we shall bear that the revolt it entirely crushed. That victory will be ours those who have seen the gallantry of the small handful of troops we have had in India up to this time cannot, I think, for a moment doubt, but when victory is achieved let me ex,prc-ss a hope that we shall not in the flush of vi c t or y a ll ow our passions to carry us away and to se e k f u r vengeance, even upon Indian S epoys. (Hear, b ear .) Justice, ani severe ju s ti ce must be done • but let us die criminate b e t ween the. guilty and the innocent. IA not the page of history that shall record the heroism of our countrymen and women in the Erst—that shall record the gallantry of a Havelock and of a Nicholson against innumerable hosts, have also to add that, when victory was.ours, we con descended to use the weapons that bad teen wielded by such dastardly hands. (Loud cheers.) Again I say let justice be done, but let it be dis mminating justice. Let an example be made of the murderers to show them, and to show the world, that England's laws are not to be violated with impunity, but that death—and an ignominous death--is reserved for those who show that they hate no principles of humanity and no feelings eitler of common kindness or of Christianity. (Misers.) In concision I beg to move the follow ing molution. _ _ iThat this meeting views with the greatest abhor rence the barbarous and inhuman cruelty inflicted on thei• fellow countrymen, on women and on children, by the nutineers in India, and desires to give expression to the warm sympathy which it feels for those who have undergone such brutal and unparalleled sufferings." Frl Howz accondedAtte resolution. • The resolution was tlien - put by the High Sheriff, and unanimously agreed to.- Lord BERNERS then moved the following resolu tion : " That, with a view to the alleviation of the misery and destitution in which so many of our fellow-subjects in India hate been involved, a subscription should be invited throtgbout the country." Mr. PAM, M. P•, moved the next resolution, which was unanimously agreed to ‘` That the several banks in Leicester and the different market towns of the county be requested to receive sub scriptions in aid of the above object, to be forwarded, in addition to those already collected in the town, to the central committee in London• The Duke of RUTLAND then moved a vote of thanks to the High Sheriff for his kindness in hav ing convened the meeting, and for having presided over it. _ _ Earl HDWE secouded the resolution, which was cluTied by acclamation ' end the High Sh er iff hav ing briefly respondee, the proceedings terminated. ALLEGED " REVEL ATIONS" OF INDIA. Le Nord has commenced the publication of a series of papers, signed " yerax," and professing to be written by " un ancien fonctionnaire de la Compagnie des Indes, homme eclairs e t conscien cieux," to expose Cie misgovernment of wuich the English have been guilty in India. Le Nord frankly acknowledges that "th e A ng l o - Saxon race is the best qualified to discharge the civilising mission of raising the Asiatic nations from their moral and political degradation ;" and it expresses a sincere desire for the succeess of the British arms and the re-establishment of regular authority in India ; but, believing it to be only too true that our Indian government, " care ing for nothing but its own selfish interests, has been led into every excess of cupidity and corrup tion, and that is the sole cause of the present revolt." Le Nord promises to assist us in bringing to light the abuses of the system. With this view the "Revelations of India," contributed, as our contemporary a-sert, by a person who has occu pied an important station in that country, are now comment-d. The first article certainly does not contain anything worth quoting, not a single asap of information upon maters of fact, or even an original remark. Some general observations upon government, cited from Lord Balm, the historian Clarendon, Montesqu'eu, and Dr. Johnson, serve to connect together the sentences of sweeping con demnation which the writer passes on our govern a hi. remarks, however, deserves at tention : "To suppose spy he, "that England in consequence of this will ever lone India would be an idea not less fo,lish than hasty; but it is indeed true that England, because she has alienated from herself the minds of the Indian people, will be compelled to resort to physical force for the re-establishment of her authority, when moral force ought to have sufficed for that purpose ; and this necessity will cost her such sacrifices of men and money as she has never had to make before." In justification of this last prediction the writer states that Great Britain has already sent out to India a greater number of English troops than she possessed on the field of Waterloo, and he is told that the East India Company has already borrowed s o t f the n g g . o v r u n r m r e e n a t d e t r h s e d a o me n u o n t t re o g f u e ir ig e h t t millionsa be etold )grow to estimate the accuracy of his information. passengers on board the Ripon were Mrs. Brooks and a Miss Cloete, who escaped from Mhow. They were obliged to ride hundreds of miles through the country unassisted. They had to feed and groom the horses which had saved their lives. They were shut up in a fort for a long time. There were also two widow ladies on board the Ripon who have lost their husbands in India. One of them, Mrs. Graham, escaped from Sealcote. Her husband was shot by her side, in a conves ante in which they were both escaping, and she drove on afterwards, and saved her own life. Mrs. Woolcombe al , o had a narrow escape when her husband was killed. There were four orphan children amongst the pas sengers who have lost their parents in India. Th-J children were attended by native servants on board the Ripon. Very distressing scenes occurred be tween the passengers and their friends who came to meet them on their arrival, a crowd of whom filled one saloon. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. In a letter from a Malta correspondent which we published yesterday, there was a statement to the effect that up to the 12th inst. the Emeu had not arrived at Suez with the homeward Australian mail. We are informed that the Emeu was not expected to leave Melbourne on her return till the 13th of September, or to reach Suez before to-day or to • morrow. The Australian mail is duo in London about the 4th or sth Nov. The Prince Albert steam transport, with Royal Artillery and a portion of the 72d Highlanders on board for India, which ought to have left Spithead on Monday night or Tuesday morning, did not leave until half-past 4 yesterday afternoon, owing to A change which it was found necessary to make in the command Of the ship. A large quantity of stores of every description has been despatched from the headquarters of the Royal Engineers, at Chatham, for the use of the Sappers and Miners ordered to India. Among the stores are 5,000 of the new kind of gabion invented by Sergeant Major J. Jones. The iron bands of these gabions are adapted for the construction of temporary suspension-bridges over the rivers of India for the passage of artillery and infantry in any numbers. • Yesterday the general court-martial which has been sitting at Chatham for the last three days again assembled at that garrison, under the presi dency of Col. C. Elmbirst, for the purpose of pro ceeding with the trial of Lieut. George Wm. Van- Bitten Yule. Col. H. Sandham stated that in an interview which he had with the prisoner on the 6th Sept. the latter informed him that he was out all day, and therefore could not answer Major Nu gent's letter. Nothing was said by the prisoner as to his being absent on surveying duty. The reason witness put prisoner on early parade was to insure his being present at study, as he was gene rally absent from parade and alio from study. The order was not given to the prisoner as a punish tnent. Unfavourable reports were made of the pri ,-soner in the monthly repoxts for March, April, May, and June, and on the 27th of July he was repri manded by order of General Sir John Burgoyne, Inspector-General of Fortifications. The prisoner was frequently inbed absent'from duty in the middle of the day. Colonel Sandham also stated that the prisoner had been admonished by himself for his absence from the regimental court-martial, of which he was a member. The Court afterwards proceeded with the examination of Lieut. Montague L.imbert, Royal Engineers, in support of the charges against the prisoner. This witness stated that the prisoner was ordered to attend a regimental court-martial at Brompton Barracks, which order he failed to obey, and witness was accordingly sworn a member of the court in his absence. The Court adjourned at four o'clock until this morning. Major Pipon's company of Royal Artillery left Woolwich yesterday for Shoeburyness, to relieve Lieut.-Colonel Hamley's company on duty there. Yesterday morning orders were received at Chatham garrison from the War-office, directing Captain C. C. Abbott, late of the 75th Regiment, and now in command of the Falkland Islands corps, to prepare for immediate embarkation. Assistant- Staff Surgeon Alexander is to proceed to tie Falk land Islands in medical charge of the troops, Capt. Erasmus Ommaney was yesterday ap pointed to the Brunswick, 80, screw, on the North American and West India station, in the room of Capt. Broadhead. In consequence of a report brought last week by a Spanish brig that there was a dismasted British ship of war with troops on board in the Bay of Bis cay, Port-Admiral Sir Barrington Reynolds des patched. from Plymouth on Saturday evening her Majesty's paddlewheel steam frigate Valorous , 16, Capt. Buckle , to render assistance. Mr. T. W. Fox, jujun.,Ottoman Consul at Plymouth, surmising that the disabled ship was not British, but a Tur kish line-of-battle ship, for some time expected in England to receive machinery and a screw, tele graphed to the Turkish Ambassador in London, who made application to the Admiralty, when their Lordships sent orders immediately to Plymouth, in consequence of which Sir B. Rey nolds despatched the paddlewheel steamsloop Styx, 6, on Monday night, to assist the Valorous. The judiciousness of theso measures was-proved by intelligence received on Wednesday at Plymouth, through Capt. Maehon, of the schooner Sir Thomas Mansell, which left Corunna on the, 15th inst., on which day letters had been receive from Ferrol, stating that a Turkish ship of war was off the coast in distress, having lost her rudder in the recent gale. The same letter contains(' an account of the wreck of a Dutch merchant ship, and the loss of all the crew but two. The Turkish line of-battle ship expected at Plymouth is the Fethia (Victory), 90 ; she left Malta for England some time since. A icor tion of her crew wear a military costume, which may have led the Spanish captain to report them as troops. The Avon, 3, paddle tender, Palmer, second master commanding, sailed from Devouport on Wednesday, with the furniture of Rear-Admiral Wm. J. Hope Johnstone, for Portsmouth. The Brilliant, 20, Captain P. A. Paynter, left Granada for Nova Scotia on the 13th ult., after an interchange of complimentary letters between the gallant officer commanding her and his excellency the lieutenant governor of the colony. Two of the eight of her crew landed at Grenada in a dying state a fortnight previously had recovered, and were doing wall. The Caradoc, 2, paddle, Lieutenant Commander Henry A. Clavering, with the Siam princes, has not yet reached Spithead ; but a sharp look-out is kept by the guard-ship (pro tem.) Blenheim, and the Fire Queen, tender, Master Commander F. W. Paul, is kept ready to proceed to Spithead on her arrival. The Diadem, 32, Screw, Captain Mooreom, hauled over t o the Malabar coal depot at Ports mouth' yesterday, to take in fuel for her Channel cruise. The Lucifer, 2, paddle, Master Commander Allen, called at Torquay on Wednesday morning, in search of the cockyard lighter, which was picked up and brought in there by the Babbicombe coast guard. She returned to Davenport on Wednesday evening, bringing her safely there. The Persian, 12, sloop, was commissioned at Sheerness on the 20th inst. by Lieut. A. A. Smith for Commander J. H. Chads. Mr. C. G. Johnston, master, and Mr. William Shott, clerk, also took up their commission and appointment to her the same day and joined. The Renown, 91, screw, got up steam at Sheer nets on Wednesday, for the ptirpo4e of proceeding on her final trial of speed ; but in consequence of a heavy tog prevailing during the day she did not go out. The Rhadamanthus, 4, paddle store ship, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday, from Plymouth. The Tartar, 20, screw, Captain Hugh Dunlop, was at Greytown, September 20. THE MILITIA. The 6th West Yorkshire Militia yesterday com pleted the period of 21 days' drilling for which it, was called out. The regiment is reported to be iu a state of efficiency. The Royal Flintsbire Militia completed its period of 28 days' training yesterday. The regiment is reported to be well disciplined. The Forfar and Kincardine Militia Artillery, up wards of 8)0 strong, assembled at Montrose on Tuesday for re-embodiment on permanent service. Nearly the whole regiment was at roll-call, and it is known that most of the absentees will join by the end of the week. The destination of the regi ment is Plymouth garrison, to which it will, be im mediately moved. This was one of the earliest Scotch regiments to volunteer for foreign service during the late war, and the enthusiastic cheering which greeted a spirited address from the com manding officer, Lieutenant-Colonel Laird, leaves no doubt that the services of this fine body of artillery may be reckoned on as available in any quarter of the glob©, THE INDIAN MAIL The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Ripon, Captain Dundas • Admiralty agent, Lieut. Robins, R.N., arrived at Southampton yesterday with the heavy portion of the Indian mail. The China snail is missing, not having arrived at Point de Galle when the Calcutta packet left that port. The Ripon left Alexandria October 7 ; Malta, 11 ; Gibraltar, 15. Among her cargo were 1,979 bales and cases of silk, elephants' teeth, two cases of sculpture, besides specie to the value of 28,0001. Her Majesty's ships Hibernia, Conqueror, Boxer, Despatch, Caradoc, Vigilant, and Wanderer, were at Malta ; the Curlew and the Vulture and a Nor wegian corvett were at Gibraltar ; the royal mail steamer Tamar, the screw steamers Malakoff, African, Scarnandar, and Pharsalia, and the Egyptian fleet were at Alexandria. The Ripon e x p er i ence d f ro m Alexandria to Malta heavy squ a ll s o f w i n d an d rain ; from Malta to Gibraltar fine weather, with occasional squalls. From Gibraltar to Southampton she had strong winds from north-west to north-north-east, and off Pottland a dense fog darkened the channel, which compelled the Ripon to lie to. She reports the British channel to be full of shipping. She brought .howo about 150 passengers, con sisting of 56 first-class passengers, 18 second-class, 48 children, 13 European servants, and 8 native servants. Their names are as follows, viz.: From Bombay—Mrs. Hicks and child, Lieutenant and Mrs. Battye and three children, Mrs. De Vitre and child, Mr. D.

The pas sengers met in E g ypt the 200 troops, bound for Aden, who were taken from Malta iu th e Rip on on her outward passage. At Aden ther e were no Eng lish troops to guard the place when the Bombay steamer touched there. At Bombay all was quiet, but great precautions were taken throughout the island to put down any revolt, especially during the feast of the Mohurrum. Lord Elphinstone, the Governor o f the Bombay Presidency, had taken proceedings in a very quiet, but apparently effec tive manner, to prevent any serious outbreak. Fifty-three men of an artillery regiment, in the Bombay Presidency, that had refused to march up the cmintry against the mutineers, were quietly shipped, unarmed, on board the steamer Bombay which conveyed the m ail from Bomb ay t o S ue; and the men were landed at Aden. Th ere was some anx i e ty lest they should rise against the pas sengers, but they became very sea sick, and conse. • quietly were not very f -9 raudable, Among the {PRIOR 40. STAMPED 51).] THE ITALIAN OPERA. (Prom the .Dublin Freeman", Journal of October 21.) Donizetti's opera buffs. of " Don Pasquale" was produced yesterday evening in a style whi c h we are sure every candid and experienced judge of musical art and performance, who happened to be present, will admit to have been excEreet in the ensemble, especially on taking into co ,, sidera 'ion t true comic genius and inimitable grace which marked the awing of La Piccolomini in the character of Nerina. We have witnessed the performance of many gifted and eminent Prima Donnas of Italian opera in this part, but never, never have we seen the ide sl cdn ception of the young Norina, the bride of a day, the dearly won and gladly got rid of sposa of the hap less Don Pasquale more admirably personated than on last evening, by this fascinating artiste. Her opening solo in the first act, " So auch Io," was sweetly sung, but as we thought somewhat care lessly. But in the second act her ac.iug and sing ing were exquisite. She made the most of her delightful little voice, but words can scarcely do justice to the playful archness and irresistible tra casserie of her acting in the courtship scene with the old Don. Her affected timidity and simulated coy ness contrasting with her side whispers to her lover Ernesto, and her wicked glances of intelligence towards the arch-rogue Malatesta, were splendid bits of acting. The act wherein Don Pasquale is so cruelly persecuted by the whims of his supposed wife and the scene of the final denouement were fraught with - rich amusement. La Piccolomini sang her solo parts in this opera with all her usual sweet ness and expression. Signor Belletti, asDoctorMsla - testa, evinced his well known tact and vocal ability. His opening solo, "Bella Siccome," was finelygiven. TheErnestoOf Luchtsiavas a pleaainglyacted charac ter. We cannot be expected to feel dqeply impressed with his solo singing in this piece aft-sr having heard those bits of music sung by so many renowned artistes. He watt encored in the serenade " Crime e goad," and he sustained his part in Vie delightful duetto " Tournami a dir" very ereclit.ib!y. The finest thing in the opera was ti.e celebrated planet e "E ttimasto," which w-is rendered with ma,niticet, t • effect by Madlle. Piccol omini, ignor Belletti, Sig nor Luchesi, and Signor Rossi. The latter per former, as Don Pasquale, evinced a high degree of comic talent, and reminded us of Signor Rovere in the same character. The quartet e was rapturously encored. In all the oper I. went off very smoothly and effectively. Madame Piccolomini was led forth after the fall of the curtain, and loudly cheered. Bouquets in profusion were flung at her feet. The performances of the evening concluded with the last act of _La .Favourita_in which Sig,, or Giuglini and Madame, -Spezzia sustained the leading parts. Signor Giuglini gaVe the magnificent aria "Spirit° gentil" in masterly style, and Madsme Spezzia in terpreted the soprano , music of the last scene with thrilling effect. The grand duetto in the last scene was rapturously applauded. Signor Vialeiti sang the basso musie of his part of Baldassare with t ,ste and judgment. Bellini's opera of "I Puritani" is announced for presentation this evening with a powerful cast of characters. . LA PICCOLOMINL 'Tis not her peerless voice alone Can fling such spells around, Although there breathes in every tone The soul of sweetest sound ; • 'Tis not the beaming of thus eyes, So full of lustrous light, That nearer than her native skies There's nothing half to bright ; 'Tie not that o'er her sweet young face Such joyous radiance plays, Or that her form such matchless grace In every act displays ; 'Tis not the magic of her smile, So ar.less, arch, nn , l bright, Soft, sunny, realpfree from guile, And dimpling with delight ; What is this wondrous power of her's? Where cloth the secret dwell, That can from countless worshippers Such homage deep compel ? A thousand charms of earth combined Could ne'er our hearts enthral, Without the magic of the mind, , Genius ; the pearl of all. Artless—with so mach skill of art— Each word, and look, and move, Spring from a deep inspired heart — We see, hear, worship, love. Dublin, 15th October, 1857. W. J. C. SCIENTIFIC MISSION TO INDIA. An‘important paper has .just been read to the Academy of Sciences on a mission sent to India and Upper Asia in 1854 by the King of Prussia and the East India Company. The members of the mission consisted of three brothers, MM. Herrmann, Adolphus, and Robert Schlagentweit, two of whom, MM. Herrmann and Robert, returned in June last; the third, M. Adolphus, is still among ttu , Hima laya mountains, and is expected soon to return, via the Punjab and Bombay. During the winter of 1854-55, these enterprising travellers visited-the region lying between Bombay an .1 Madras : in the ' followingSummerM. Herrmann explored theeastern parts of the Himalaya, the Sikkim, Bhootan, and Kossia mountains, where he measured the altitud , s of several peaks. Tile highest of all the summits known throughout the world appears, by his mea surements, to be the Gahoorishanka, situated in the eastern portion of Nepaul—the same announced as such by Colonel Waugh, but called by him Mount Everest, because he had been unable to ascertain its real name in the plains of Hindostan, %here he effected his measurement. This peak is scmewh at more than 29,000 English feet iu height, mid bears another name in Thibet, where it is called Chingo pamari. The other two brothers, MM. Adolphus and Robert, penetrated by different roads into the centralpart sof the Himalaya,Kumaon, andGurwahl; they then visited Thibet in disguise, entered the great commercial station of Gartok, explcred the environs of Like Mansarowr, and that remarkable crest which separates the waters of the India from those of the Dihong, often erroneously called th e Burrampooter. They ascended the Ibi-Gatnine, 22,260 feet in height, that being an altitude never before attained in any part of the world. After having been separated from each other for a space of 14 months, during which M. Robert ascertained that the tatleland of Amarkantak, in Central India, which is generally stated to be 8,000 feet above the level of the sea, is not more than 3,300 feet in height, the three brothers again Met at Sin* pre vious to commencing the operations intended for the summer of 1856. M. Adolphus, on leaviog that place, crossed the Himalaya, went over Thibet, Baltistan, and visited the interesting spot where several mountain crests meet, and the Eindoo Koosh * *ins the range lying to the north of India. He then returned to the Punjab through the valley of Cashmere. MM. Herrmann and Robert proceeded to Ladak by diff,rent routes. Under good disguises, they were enabled to pene tra'e into Turkish proper by crossing the Karako room and the Kuenluen mountains and descending into the great valley of Yarkand, a region never visited 1 efore, not even by Marco Polo. It is a vast depression of between 3,000 and 4,000 feet, sepa rating the Kuenluen, on the northern frontier of India, from the Syan-Chane, or mountains of Central Asia, on the southern border of Russia. They then returned to Ladak, and entered the Punjab by different routes through Cashmere. After a two years' negotiation M. Herrmann was, at the commencement of 1857, admitted into Ne paul, where he determined the altitudes of the Machipoora and Mount Yassa, which have hitherto been vaguely called the Dhawalagery, which means nothing else but " snowy crests," and is applicable to all snow-capped mountains. M. Robert proceeded to Bombay through Scinde, Kutech, and Guzerat, where he surveyed the chain called the Salt Range, and determined the changes effected in the course of centuries in the course of several films. Before returning to Europe he stayed three months in Ceylon. M. Adolphus visited various parts of the Punjab and Cabul, previous to returning to the Himalaya, where he still is. The chief results obtained from this careful explo ration of Asia are the following :—The Himalaya mountains everywhere exercise a decided u influence over all the elements of the magnetic forc e ; the declination everywhere presents a slight deviation, causing the needle to converge t swa rds the cen tral parts of that enormous mass, and _ the mag neticw er e else u i rit ensilder an equal is g reatar al t lt h a ai i i itude. u two l ld the e ti !n t y h . h of India tbe inerea-e of the magnetic intensity fr o m south to north is ex tre mly rapid. The line form, i s equalof smilar a magneticn perhapsintensityparallel havea remark able to those of certain groups of iEo.hertnal lines. The three travellers have collected all the materials neCeS-ary to ascertain this important fact. Irregular local variations in terrestrial magnetism are rare in those anal Behar at altitudes of r m eg agn ion e s tio. In O t t e Dcca t heoauiniay 17,000, and even 20,000 feet, the daily maximal?, and minimum variatiens of the barometer oc curred nearly about the same hours as in the plains below. Again, at the above altitudes, the inversion of the curves of daily variation which is met with on the Alp s does not take place.

For the following !iarticulars of the frightful storm enceun-med on Wedia sday and Thursday by the S uth- Western G on patty's steamer Wonder, on her passaze from WeyMouth to Guernsey, we (Guern sey Comet) are indt-bte , i to a passenger : " Tho Wonder put t.) sea about 8 o'clock in the morning of Wednesday last, a stiff breeze from the southward then blowing, and the barometer lower ing. At nine the wind increased to a gale, with a very heavy sea running ; and the wind being dead a-head, the vesael shipped many very heavy seas; but behaved remarkably well. At 10 the weather was gettng very thick, and the gale increasing more and more, and the sky indicating nothing else than a hurricane, the bearing of Portland was taken, the log hove, and every precaution adopted by Captain Clement. Towards half-past 10 the sea became so heavy that the vessel shipped a great deal of water ; and, the barometer continuing to fall, and there being no chance of reaching Alderney before night, the captain wisely determined on putting back for Portland Roads. Here we arrived in safety, and brought up close to the breakwater with the small bower anchor and about 50 fathoms of chain. ,On returning to Portland we saw several casks floating on the water. They were such as generally contain wine or brandy, and supposed to be a portion of the cargo of a vessel that went down in the Race of Portland, when all hands perished. " Duriug the whole of Wednesday it continued .to blow a hurricane. In the course of the night the steamer drove, when the best bower was let go,-and was again brought to clos . to th eguardship lofeander. On Thursday morning, the weather having mode rated, Capt. Clem-nt tltought. It advisable to weigh his anchors 'nd hove furt , ier in-shore out of the way oft .e gut, d hip ; lint, on making the attempt, it was found impo-s ble to wei: h the best bower, the ;inehor having, it w s supposed, hooked the guard-hip's moorings. Ultimately, the chain was slipped, ;in l the vtss -1 moved further in ; but, un fortunately, in surging the chain around the wind lass, t'+3 second 'mite's hands were sally mwilatecl, the tops of two fingers merely hanzing :by the ten dons. The poor fellow was take!, on . Shore at the small town of Chizel, where iie iiii- . properly at tended to. He will not be able tO resume his duties for a long time, which will be ta - gr'eat lois to the ship, he being a very good sailor. On landing at Chizel it was distressing to witness the effects of the storm. The town was deserted by die mull OA tan s, who had been compelled to leave in conse quence of the sea having inunda•e4 their dwellings and filled the lower fl tors wi h shingle and sand. " In the afternoon of Thursday 'he wind lulled, and an anchor was brought from the shore to re place the one that had been slipped. Towards evening the barometer began to ascend, the skies became clearer, and the wind drew round to the north-west, with occasional squalls of rain. At e'even o'clock the Wonder weighed anchor, and proceeded on her voyage. At about midnight the wind again rose, the glass sank, and a terrific gale awe on. Toe sea was tremendous—so much so, hat when in sig , it f the Caste's, at about half-past three a. rn. on Friday,. it broke above the steamer's mast-head. The captain, mate, and Weymouth pilot, secured themselves by life-ropes extending tram one ride of the ship to the other; the two men at the wheel being also secured with strong ropes naive(' round their waists and fastened to ring -bolts at the stanchions, fearing that every moment one or the other would be washed away. Thus, with the sea making a fair breech over the vessel, and the w,tter washing from, stem to st-'rn, did the pliant mariners keep the deck, drenched with .rain and sea water ; Captain Ciento t giving his orders with that precision which characterises him among the best of seamen, and his mate and crow always ready to execute them. " Having been taken through these many perils by her intrepid commander, the Wonder safely arrived in Guernsey Roads at ten minutes before seven on Friday morning, without having carried away a single thing during one of the most stormy passages on record. Too much praise cannot be given to Capt. Clement for his manly and. aucce:•• ful exertions during this perilous voyage." IRELAND. DUBLIN, THURSDAY MORNING. PRESSURE ON THE IRISH BANKS. Letters from the town of Tipperary, published in the Clonmel Chronicle, state that there was a psr dti4ayl,r bonntoirti wasti e o b n a ks s o i n p thearti r al t hmaetr it w a c a e s o e n x p S e a ct t n e r d. - h b :w f, the h :h e e l , ru me n of eo b n u t s w. in u e e s d s n h n o u t r h s e . On to b ju ! ° o w n d ° a v y ' , r Bank of Ireland and the National Bank, at both which offie a gold w.s freely paid on demand. It was expected that the pressure would increase for th'e next few days, owing to the propagation of false rumours, and on Tuesday evening according to one of these accounts, — "The anxiety to procure gold in exchange for de. posits, so general among the 10-wer creases of the tenant farmers in this neighbourhood, seems to be subsiding to-day. At. the National and Bank of Ireland all de mands were at once meti and, owing to the prompt attention of the managers, Messrs. Carnegie and Horner, confidence is again becoming restored among the small depositors, by whom atone, any fears were entertained. When we remember the terrible shook which was sus -1 tained by the small farmers, particularly in this county, through the failure of the Tipperary Joint-Stock Bank, we are not surprised to find their confidence se easily unhinged ; and time alone will prevent them from view ing each alight event in the monetary world in an exag gerated and unreal light. Though this run has,con tinned since Saturday, there is not the slightest appre hension among the larger depositors or traders." In the north, too, there was a slight pressure on two of the local banks, but the attempted run was so promptly met that the matter is not noticed in some of the Belfast papers. The Dleterman says : On Saturday a rumour was prevalent in town that there was a screw loose in the Belfast Bank, and during the entire evening this office was beset by dozens of people anxious to learn the truth of the matter. On Monday we understand there was a slight attempt at a run, but it was a lame affair, for the bank 'could have shovelled out gold faster than any demand that could have been made upon it. On Tuesday in Armagh a Simi ar attempt was made, but with a similar result, and the panic in a short time subsided. With regard to the Belfast Bank we can state, without hesitation, that, constituted as it is, the Bank of England is not safer." REVIVAL OP THE SLAVB TRADE. We have on a former occa4ion expressed strong objections to the plan of the French Government for whst they call promoting emigration from the West &Joast of Africa to the French West India lslaras, but what we could consider in no other light than as a renewal of the slaVe trade, with all its ifijurious consequences to the people f Africa. The apprehensions which were very generally enter tained on this score in England appear likely to be filly realised, as will be shown by the following ex tract of a letter from Mr. Campbell, the British consul at Lagos, to a gentleman resident in Man cheater : " Lagos, Sept. 3, 1857. "His Imperial Majesty of France havin g taken unn to washed, purchase slaves in this quarter, a whole host o f Americans of u n bearded-faced Spaniaras, rortug ;h e Imperi al Maj e sty have followed his example ; and l persists in continuing to purchase fear we a m A o l s r t en s d a y y t g h o n od A b n yenekutans have gone to h un t forto slaves at Whydah, cotton from this part o f slaves. The Maddens, a more numerous and warlike people than the Abeokuteans, are preparing to do the same in the Jaboo conotry, near to Lagos. To give you an idea of the influence created by nearly three years of peace, and the purbuit of legitim to untmerce on the minds of the mails of the pnpul tion of Abe )kuta, here tofore co ready to ehgage in war, I send you copy of a letter containing the pruclania ion of the oniefs of Abeo. kato, who fouttd the greatest unwll , ugnese on the pars of the pootioaion to follow them iu tbim war, now they have fe.t what it is to earn a livelihood by peaceful trade and the -ultivaliou of cotton, g,tting the whole benefit thernmelves ; whereat wnen they follow the chiefs to war, they fun all the rick of the musket balls and poisoned arrows, and the cnieti take more than the lion's I.hae.of the ~laves captur e d and plunder taken."—M anches ter' Guardian.
