AS manhood approaches, the human form, coun tenance, voice, and the whole intellectual character, undergo a revolution. Love is the end and sum of life, creating images after image of ideal perfection. But in the present state of society, pure and virtuous enjoyment is often postponed and oh. structed, till the excess of youthful impetu os ity impels to a course of wild and injurious indulgence, and tne mind becomes painfully harassed by alternations of fears, disgust, and passion. In this state relief is perhaps sought from the inexperienced, perhaps from the ignorant ; in either case at the expense of heal.ll ' that being only palliated which should have been e ff ectually - cured. Here we propose to step in and rescue the victim of unwise indulgence from the pangs of remorse, disappointed hope, and disease; and we pledge ourselves to eradicate every taint of syphilitic poisnss, and to restore to ill wonted energy every relaxation of the gerievs.'ive economy, whether from this or other causes, whereby th. diglitts; ^f manhood shall have become impaired ; equally conteirrari k unfeeling emoy ricism, which with reckless ignorance destroys when. it should re store; and, on the other hand, that unworthy " priric;iaed whose proud selfishness increases the embarrassment of the afflicted All classes of society, not excepting the Angla.lndlan, but more espe cially such as are about to enter into matrimonial life, are Included in th limits of this address, and to all we cunfidentiy offer the result of many years' successful practice. Daily attendance is given for personal comltat , on ; and immediate answers are returned to country letters ,whir_ must minutely de scribe the case, and contain a remittance for Advice and Medicine, which can be forwarded to any par t of the world bo however distant.— No di ffi culty can occur, as the Med icine willl securely packed, and carefully protected from observation.

To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that:there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by much more fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the relation and esponsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless tb' evil be checked in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to eta* any of his young charges, what the rea' rause of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred•character, is at once concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits, to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if nut relinquished.

THE FRENCH PRESS AND THE EASTERN QUESTION. (From the French Papers of Tuesday.) We give the following from the Commerce, merely as a specimen of the politiCal gossip current in Paris, not as attaching of ourselves the least credit to it :—" It has been reported that one day last week, when M. Guizot was vi siting Lord Palinerstn, his Lordship said, Well, Sir, we have settled the affair of the East,' and then explained the arrangements entered into near!y in the same terms used by the Morning Post's correspondent. M. Guizot, whose in structions were to receive all communications which might be made to him on the affairs of the East, but to take no part in them, bowed, and soon afterwards returned to his house, and despatched a courier to M. Thiers, who arrived on Saturday morning, about ten ~'clock. Two hours afterwards the English Minister waited upon him with a notification of the treaty. Nothing less is talked of than calling out two hundred thousand men ,1 the reserve. Instructions to this effect have beer, sent to the Generals commanding divisions, who are to form their troops into brigades. Purchases of horses, ammu nition. and provisions are talked of ; in fine, preparations are making for the expenditure of large sums of money. The most sanguine go still further, and announce that 20,000 men are being prepared for marching towards the Riviera of Genoa, to keep Austria in check in Italy, 100,000 men are to be mustered on the Rhine. The navy also must have a share in the commotion. Vice- Admiral Roussin will leave the office of Minister to receive the baton of fdl Admiral from the hands of his successor, and take the command of our fleet in the Levant, having Rear-Admirals Lalande and Hugon under him. Never theless, before coming to extremities, a last attempt is to be made with Austria ; and the Count de St. Aulaire, who is now at Paris on leave, is to set out this evening for Vienna. If he fails the Chamber will be convoked, in order to be applied to for means of action." The most remarkable of •the articles with which the Journals before us teem is one given in the Constitution nel, and on that account said to be from the pen of M. Thiers. It enters upon a history of the Eastern question for the last nine months, which it discusses rather calmly,. and deduces from it that the present crisis has not been produced by any fault of the present Ministers, but was solely ascribable to their predecessors. It goes on to as sume that the treaty just signed by the Four Great Powers has placed in jeopardy the peace of Europe, and contends that that proceeding only could have compromised Euro pean tranquillity. " From the moment when the idea was entertained of forcing Mehemet Ali to surrender Syria, the difficulties that have occurred, and which are now at their maximum, were inevitable." In conclusion, the Constitutionnel states as follows : " France should be prepared for all eventualities. It will not see with cold blood a hand placed on the Turkish em pire. All alone, as she is, she has an immense power— material and moral. Her material position consists in a population admirable by its compact, unity, and its passion for the glory of arms, fur grandeur obtained by justice. It consists in the best finances in the world, in 200,000,000 of reserve accumulated at the bank, 150,000,000 laid by for internal improvement, in two milliard of royal forests, and of 300,000,000 the war budget. Without a loan, with even the sale of its woods, France could have, in a short time, 700,000,000 disposed to make head against its enemies. " Its moral force resides in the sympathies and approba tion of the people. But in order that France should merit that support it must have no wrong at its side—even in England it will have the people with it. Strong in their aids France need not care about being isolated. But Government has precautions to take, and no doubt it will take them. It is not Eghtly that the peace of the world is to be troubled, and so just is the cause of France that it will neither lose interest nor honour." ", NAt ., ,,, , ,. _,, i .;:. „., LPT TORTONI'S-TUESDAY, JULY 28. The muster of speculators has been but small ; business has been limited in consequence, probably, of the various opinions entertained as to how the procession to the co lumn, or the Bastille, will go off. The general opinion seems to be, that there will not be any disturbance. Some groups of students who have assembled on the line, it is understood, will be allowed quietly to follow. The Three per Cents. for the Account were first done at 83f. 75c., have since been done at 83f. 50c., and last at 83f. 60c., with every appearance of business not being resumed until after the procession shall have passed, which will not be until long after post hour, as to-day the General Office closes at one o'clock. FRENCH AFRICA. PHILIPPEVILLE, July 13. The campaign is ended, and we may say that the results arc of immense importance. All the tribes of the province have submitted, and are ready to pay tribute to France. The Kalifa of Medians, appointed by the French authority, El Mockrani, who had been molested by some regular battalions of Abd-el-Kader, on this side of the Bibons, has been reinstated, and all the tribes from Setif to the Iron Gates obey him. Our affairs go on well. On the 7th we said the 62d Regiment of the li ne re- turn to this town. It behaved admirably in the late operations. The appearance of this fine Regiment, to meet which the inhabitants went out in crowds, was very menial. The men appeared fatigued and sunburnt. Col. Lafoilaikae A .Niho y f as detgjuestat Copstfmtimbi,i9.4isposi tiOn - c: used by tqTiitigiles Ortha - campaign, came a few days after his Regiment. He has been visited by the principal inhabitants of Philippeville, and by the chiefs of the neighbouring tribes. He is going to France with leave of absence. A letter from Perpignan says that the number of Car list refugees who enlist in the Fareign Legion increases daily. M. Perez de Castro, ex- President of the Council of Spain, and Gen. Cleonard, had arrived in that town. Five hundred Spanish refugees have been sent to Roche fort, where they will be employed on the works of the out port. AfONTAUBAN, JULY 22.—Since the 18th 1,200 Spanish refugees have passed through this town, on their way to several towns in the interior. We are to have here a depot of 2,600. A detachment of too has already ar rived. Jul' '24.-1,100 Spanish refugees have arrived at Montauban to-day, and will leave us to-morrow. We ex pect on the 28th another column, which is to be directed to the department of the Flerault.—Le Constitutionnel. SYRIA. TRANSLATION OF A FIRMAN OF HIS HIGHNESS IBRAHIM rAcita TO THE INHABITANTS OF MOUNT LEBANON, THE 6TH RABIC AKAR 1256 (6TH OF JUNE, 1840). We dee'are by the present firman our will to the inha• bitants of Mount Lebanon, Christians and Druses. For some days past, and even to-day, divers reports have reached me upon the subject of your refusal to give up the arms which hail been provisionally left in your possession, and that upon being required to do so, you had given way to acts of insubordination to the superior powers ; thus all you: sentiments have shown themselves in evidence, and know, all of you in general to whom I address myself, that I understand your intentions, and the man. ncr in which you have conducted yourselves in this extraordinary revolt, and I can but attribute your con duct to two motives—either evil disposed persons have made you believe that a conscription would be ordered amongst you, and have led astray your pride and your courage by this perfidious insinuation, abusing your simpli city ; or else it is an act of treason on your parts, to which you have been impelled without any motive. In the first ease, if any persons have excited amongst you the fear of any conscription on the mountain, you must by no means attach any belief to them, and I swear by the dear head of my father the Viceroy, and by my own, that it is not our desire to make any forced levy on the mountain, and we would not even have such an idea for any part of Syria in general. We repeat to you positively, that we shall do nothing of the kind. I have already given you notice to be quiet in your houses, and not to have such ideas. Banish, then, your fears and inquietude, and do not seek to ruin the mountain and shed your blood. But, in the case that your revolt should p-oceed from treason, spontaneous and vain,' we have already sent fif teen regiments of infantry, besides cavalry and artillery, to destroy your persons and ruin your habitations com pletely. After you shall have knowledge of our present firman, you will obey by returning to your submission ; in rejecting from your heads all your corrupt intentions, you will find yourselves in security ; saved, and joyful to have thus brought back again your souls and your possessions. But if you persist in your guilty intentions, the victorious army which has been sent will, with the assistance of God, destroy your party as you have deserved. Think well, and reflect on your interests, and in making choice of sub mission, be oLedient to your Prince, in order that he may prevent the chiefs of the army from advancing, and by this means you will not be exposed to dangers. We desire by the present to make you understand the truth, in order you may choose that which suits you best, and take a good resolution. But take care of refusing to obey, and make submission, for a tardy repentance shall not save you. TRANSLATION OF A LETTER WRITTEN BY THE INHABITANTS OF THE MOUNTAIN TO EMIR AMIN, DATED THE 11TH RABIC AKAR, :256 (11TH JUNE, 184 0) :7 You, as well as the Prin ce Emir Bechir, are aware of the tyranny endured by the inhabitants of Mount L e b anon, and the vexatious taxes and imposts which oppress them. Ever since the government of his Highness Mehemet Ali was established in this country, the inhabitants of Lebanon have been the first to submit ; and went into his army to the war of Damascus, and against the troops to Hama and to Tripoli; and when the insurrection b ro k e out at Saffet, Naplouse, Nassyria, and among the Mutualis, the inhabit ants of the Mountain went with his Excellency the Emir Bechir, conquered them, and made them submit to the government of the Pacha, the which increased their hopes of being freed from vexations ; but as their recompense for having conquered for him the places before mentioned, be demanded their arms of them, and afterwards soldiers ; which caused them damages, which the ear would be closed not to hear, for their wives were taken punished in different manners, and hung upon trees ; then the Frid6 was imposed upon them, and they were obliged to pay this tax even for those who had died, or who had been killed in the war for this government. And when the coal mime was discovered in the mountain, the mountaineers were ordered to work it. and to furnish the necessary implements without being paid for them; and people were sent to inspect these works, and workmen and others were paid to convey the coal to Bey rout ; but this was of small moment, and we were obliged to provide for the rest of:the payment at our cost, and to furnish posts , and sacks for this mine, and we were only paid the quar_ EVENING EDITION. r ter of the price of them, but the expenses of convey , ante from the villages to the mine were not paid to us. If we were to enter into the details of all these vexations it would be too long, and we do not reckon the blows with sticks, and the dishonours which were done us, as if we had been Egyptian fellahs; we do not even mention the expenses we were put to for the Emirs and for the Boulonk bachis, and ever since the es , ablishment of the quaran tine until the present time, the mountaineers have been obliged to provide lime, fixing a minimum price for it, and transporting it on their beasts cf burden, and new taxes have been laid upon the mills. Masons have been sent by force to Kanlek, Bona, St. Jean d'Acre, and to the qua rantine, and they only received one -quarter of the usual payment, and these forced works have increased in the towns, in the country places, and in every spot ere we go, and thereby reduced several f am ili es o f the untain to extreme misery, and ruined us also; for we have no l longer either money, children, or cattle, seeing that cur children are taken for the Nizam, our crops arc insufficient for so many demands, our cattle of every kind are in continual misery, (so that many persons have pre cipitated from a great height their mules and their camels, and others have sold them for next to nothing), and as to ourselves, we are employed to serve the mines and the soldiers. Some time ago, toof when war and ty ranny fell upon our brethren, the inhabitants of Horan, who are of our own nation, the government gave us arms, and sent us to fight them, which we have done for two con secutive years, and many of us have died, either from the fatigues of the march or in battle ; and that has cost us, between expenses and losses, about 2,000 purse. In fine, almost all our goods are destroyed, our children arc no more ; and since we have lost our liberty, no longer possessing any thing ofour own, and being in extreme consternation, we have necessarily revolted, in order to deliver ourselves front tyranny, and recover our peace and liberty. Now, if the authorities turn themselves towards God (justice) and re lieve us from tyranny, we are ready to submit ourselves and to obey their orders, since our insurrection has not been for the purpose of forming any authority for ourselves, but solely to free ourselves from this insupportable tyranny; seeing that we can no longer pay more than a miri on our goods and a guiali. lf, then, our prayer shall be accepted, and if the aforesaid tyrannies are removed from us, as we desire, this is what we pray his Highness the Viceroy to do : to take from us a miri and a guiali, and to remove from us all tyranny and distress, and to do this by means of the agents of England and Fiance, and by means of their Consuls in these countries, in order that if these treaties are not faithfully executed, we may appeal to them. We remain, then, in the places where we now are, waiting an answer; and if it is favourable, every one shall return to his own home; but otherwise we are ready to die rather than remain in our present situation. We have ex plained our state, and let the authorities order. (Signed) THE INHABITANTS OF THE MOUNTAIN IN GENERAL. PERSECUTIONS OF THE JEWS IN THE EAST. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sts —As President of the London Committee of De puties of the British Jews, I am requested by them to state that they have received a communication from Sir Moses Montefiore from Marseilles, dated the 21st of July instant, on which evening ho embarked en route for Alexandria. The subject of the Eastern persecutions is so deeply interesting to (Jur fellow countrymen, and indeed to the whole civ&zed world, that any additional information re specting it cannot be otherwise than acceptable, I shall therefore, feel greatly obliged by your giving insertion to the accompanying extracts from letters re ceived LiN Sir Moses Monte Ere at Marseilles previously to his depafture._ I have the honour to be, Sir, your obt. , dient servant, HANANEL DE CASTRO. 19, South-street, Finsbury square, July 29. Extracts from letters alluded to in the preceding com munication : Damascus, June 4, 1840. Last week the wicked entered the Synagogue at Djobar, and pillaged the whole edifice. The holy scrolls they hare torn into pieces ; they even took some of those holy cover_ irgs of tae scrolls, and other sacred writings, and used them most contemptuously. The community prepared a petition to the Governor, Sheriff Pacha, but he would not receive it, on account of the quarantine. I have before stated to you that our enemies digged a burial-ground, ;where the most distinguished of our brethren have been buried for two hundred years. They hate thrown the bones of our ancestors and friends into the open roads, and have buried in our sepulchres their own dead. Woe to the ears that hear these things, and to the eyes which behold such horrid deeds! Our enemies are now building a place of worship, and they seize any Israelites they meet in the street, make them carry the most heavy load', inflict the most cruel blows upon them, and make them suffer hunger and thirst. From the very day that Signor Sasun and Signor Briggs spoke to Sheriff Nobs in favour of the Israelites, the pri soners, instead of receiving favour, were put into separate dungeons, and are not allowed to receive food from their friends, unless each time the food is brought they pay from 50 to 100 piastres ; they are not allowed any change of dress, so that they are covered with insects. Woe to us ! What is to become of us ? The mouth is not capable of expressing our sufferings ; we only have our trust in the Almighty, our Father in Heaven, who, we hope, will speed ily deliver us. Extract of a letter from Constantinople, dated the 29th of Jun?, 1840 : On the seventh day of Passover (24th of April) the fir man from Mehemet Ali reached Damascus, whereby great help was rendered to our brethren, as they were imme diately relieved from all cruel torture, but our enemies still seek the undoing of the hraelitce. It is true that the French Government sent a person to examine the case, but not direct from Paris. They in structed the Consul-General of Alexandria to send :-.ome body to Damascus; the result was, that he being infecior in rank to the Consul at Damascus, decided in favour of his superior. The Paella once gave his word to the Consuls that the prisoners should take their trials before him at Alex dria; but the moment the French Consul heard of the Pacha's decision he went and persuaded him to alter his intention. The fact is, that if the trial takes place at Damascus there is no hope; as no person would dare to say a word in favour of the accused; but, on the contrary, if their trial takes place at Alexandria, they are sure to be found innocent, as there will be hundreds of witnesses in their favour. The wire of my son, who is now kept among our op_ pressers, has been dreadfully beaten. [Here follow charges of so grave a character against the party mentioned, that it has been thought best not to give them publicity at present.] Copy of a letter addressed by a distinguished English merchant, Signior Briggs, to the Governor of Damascus. Whilst Mr. Briggs has been staying at the above town, Sheriff Paella gave a banquet to that gentleman. Mr. Briggs embraced that opportunity to speak most favour ably towards the Jews, and before he left town wrote the following letter to the Governor:— °` I hcreby give you most righteous and noble advice. I have 1.)::ca in your town, and witnessed the outrageous behaviour towards the Israelites. I understand that in consequence of two or three of their enemies all these cruelties have been inflicted on them. This surely cannot be approved by the Almighty, as the Jews are entirely in. nocent. Proclaim all over the town, that whoever will find out the Padre Thomaso shall receive a very great reward. " I have also written on this subject to my friend the Paclia of Egypt." The following reply of the chief Rabbi of the Jews in Damascus to the application made to him after torture to sign an admission of the truth of the supposed crime, and which reply is contained in a letter dated Constantinople, 181-, June last, may also prove interesting:— The Chief Rabbi being requested to sign a confession of the murder said— When you smote me with 500 stripes over all my body would not confess to a lie. When you plunged me into a pool of cold water for three hours on a winter's day, a drawn sword over my head so that I could not raise it, I lied not ; and when you inflicted 170 stripes on my hand I still would not utter a falsehood ; and when you drove the bones which you placed round my head into my eyes to blind me, I still lied not, and spoke not this falsehood ; and now shall I sign to a lie ?" The writer adds, the Rabbi was then sent back to prison to await his trial. EXTENSIVE BURGLARY IN OXFORD-STREET. —This morning, at an early hour, the extensive premises of Mr. M'Pherson, tailor and mercer, No. 160, 03[1prd-street, were burglariously entered, and property to an immense :mount carried off by the thieves, consisting of ready-made apparel And cloth. The police are in active pursuit of the robbers. REMARKABLE CASES OF BEE4SWARMING.— As a person named Marshall was proceeding in company with another female through a cornfield adjoining Marcham Park, on her way to Abingdon, on Monday se'nnight, she observed a swarm of bees coming towards them, the whole of which almost immediately afterwards settled upon her neck, face, and bosom. The poor woman was greatly terrified, and with some difficulty retained the power of respiration by placing both hands over her nose and mouth. Her com panion immediately went back to the village, for assistance, and Mr. C. Chamberlain soon arrived with a hive, and, with the assistance of others, removed her to his house, where in a few minutes he relieved Mrs. Marshall from her perilous situa tion without hcr sustaining the least injury, remarkable as it may appear, not one having stung her. —Reading Mercury. At Manse of Birse, on the 11th inst., a swarm of bees came off, and after hovering over the church for some time, pro&eded to cluster over the bread bonnet of an individual whohadascended the roof of the church with a hive, for the purpose of securing them. When the bees had fairly settled on his bonnet, he cautiously descended with them dangling gracefully about his ears. On reaching terra firma he was seated, and over his head was placed the hive, into which the swarm quickly ascended without inflicting a single sting upon the man, who on being released from his irksome and rather perilous situation, complained of a buzzing noise in his ears, which occasioned a temporary defect in has sense of hering.—Aher deen Herald. During the past week there have been both thunder storms and floods in Yorkshire and other parts of the north of England, which have done considerable damage. There was also, we regret to add, some loss of human life. STATISTICS OF GAS.—For lighting London with gas there are eighteen public gas works, twelve public gas companies ; 2,800, 0 001. capital employed in works, pipes, tanks, gas-holders, and apparatus ; 450,0001. yearly revenue d er i ved ; 180,000 tons of coals used i n the year for snakin g gas ; 1,460,000,000 cubic feet of gas made in the year ; 30,400 public or street consumers,: about 2,650 of these are in the City of London.
