The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, W hioh have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is Particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of t heir physical c on diti on , an d w h o are consc i ous o f h av i ng h azar d e d the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is nutted. it is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are O r tudPles 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 those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, Ut i d - how the e v il and itsconsequences may be avoided, and, above all, that thine is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional l eDulflement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

CORN EXCHANGE. Most of the country markets held on Saturday were but moderately supplied with wheat, in which a steady busi ness was transacted at is to 2s per qr. more money. Barley moved off stearlily, and the value of fine samples had an upward tendency. Oats, and all other articles, supported previous rates. The French markets are ruling rather heavy, although exports of produce have been commenced to this country. In the United States the grain trade remains in an un certain state. Up to our market last week the arrivals of English pro- duce were moderate. From abroad we received liberal sup plies, viz. :-16,237 qrs. of wheat, 17,678 of barley, 42,487 of oats, 7,877 of beans, 1,716 of peas, 9,760 of linseed, 3,169 of rapeseeti, 40 of mustardseed, 3,230 of sundry seeds, 2,094 sacks and 3,485 hrls. of flour. Fresh up, to-day, the arrivals of English wheat, coast wise and by land carriage, were limited, consequently—as a fair clearance was sffected last week—the show of samples was trifling. The attendance of both town and country millers was cn the increase, and a clearance of the stands was speedily effected, at an advance in the quotations realised on Monday last of 2s per quarter. There was a slight improvement in the condition both of the red and white wheats. Although the supply of foreign wheat, fresh as well as ex-granary, was extensive, there was an improved inquiry for all kinds. Fine new qualities sold at an improvement in value of from is to 2s per quarter, and the quotations of other descriptions were well supported. Floating cargoes of grain were in better request. We were well supplied with barley, in which, however, an extensive business was transacted, at an improvement in value of fully is per quarter. We were fairly supplied with malt, which moved off steadily on rather higher terms. Although the show of oats was very extensive, the oat trade ruled firm, at very full prices. Beans sold slowly, but we have no change to notice in their value. In peas a moderate business was doing, at late rates. The flour trade was steady, and country marks realised is per 2801bs more money. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL zdEASURE.

There was a falling off in the arrivals of beasts from our own grazing districts. and most of the short-horns reached us in very middling condition. The attendance of buyers was far from numerous; nevertheless, the beef trade ruled firm, at prices fully equal to Monday last. The primest Scots realised fully 4s 8d per 81bs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton. shire, we received 2,800 short horns; from other parts of England, 300 of various kinds ; from Ireland, 450 oxen ; and from Scotland, 250 Scots, chiefly by railway. We had a very scanty supply of sheep in the market, and the general condition of the stock was inferior. All breeds were in steady request, at an improvement in value, compared with Monday last, of 2d per 81bs. The primest old Downs sold readily at 5s 4d per 81bs. There were only 9) Irish sheep on sale. The supply of calves was only moderate, and the veal trade ruled firm, at an advance on Friday's rates of 2d per 81bs. The top quotations was 5s per 81bs.

OPENING OF THE FRENCH LEGISLATIVE BODY. At the opening of the Legislative Corps on Saturday, M. Fould, Minister of State, read the following conilnunieatiowiroca the Emperor : " Gentlemen Deputies,—According to the terms of the 46 h Article of the Conotiintion the Legislatiee Body elected after a dissolution'reust be convoked within the term of six months. It is in accordance with that law that his Majesty calls you together to-day before it was possible to complete the preparation of the bills that will be brought before you. "The Emperor has ordered me to inform you that theeverification of Powers and the constitution of the Legislative Body will be the object of this first meeting. The Legislative Corps will then be prorogued to the 18th of January next for the despatch of public business. "In the name of the Emperor I declare the session of the Legislative Corps for 1858 opened." " Gentlemen,—l am happy at finding myself once more among you, and proud at being again called to this chair, especially if the choice his Majesty has made of me meets with your approbation. What greater hap piness can there be than that of presiding over an assembly which discusses freely and conscientiously the laws of the country, and especially when that country is France I (Applause.) In like manner as the finest buildings are best viewed at a certain distance, so i is in like manner, at a distance from France, one is best enabled to judge how great is her position abroad, and what admiration and respect the Sovereign who governs inspires to all men. (Loud applause.) " The loyal, and at the same time firm and moderate policy which has been followed has replaced abroad the old prejudices which were entertained towards us by confidence and by sympathy, so that if absence has its sorrows, consolation may yet be found while afar off io that sentiment of national pride which every true Frenchman in his heart. (Applause.) "At home, having so happily travereed severe trials, when peace was estab ished, the series of bad harvests over were about to give us repose and prosperity, tl.e reaction of an unexampled financial crisis has fallen upon our labour and industry. "The establishment of credit and French commerce now prove their solidity and gather the fruit of their prudence. France, after three successive loans, after three years of scanty harvests, having followed up the execution of public works, having endowed Paris with wonderful monuments, is not touched by the disasters which afflict so many other States. All this indicates prodigious resources, and must give to the whole world a high idea of ber power. "Let us hope that this crisis will be of abort dura- Con. " The solicitude of the Emperor,for the popular inte rests cannot fail to dissipate alarm ; the Reperor must also rely upon us. Was it not we who seconded his efforts in days of difficulty 1 • Did not we enthusiastically rote all the measures of public interest brought forward. by his Government, and did we not communicate to the country the enthusiasm by which we ourselves were animated 1 " Let us remain faithful to the principles which guided the preceding Legislature; let us not deviate from that policy, the programme of which was that real independence does not consist either in blind appro. val or in constant opposition ; that harmony of the great powers of the State is the primary condition of public quiet,'aincl that the most perfect constitution can not work without the wisdom of man. Gentlemen, nations at times award moments of favour to those who flitter them, but they only award lasting gr.►titude to those who serve their true interests." This speech (says the Moniteur) was followed by repeated cries cf " Vive l'Empeteur." The Conference of the Maritime Powers will be held in London, on the subject of the African emi gration and its bearing on the slave trade. An accident has happened at Vincennes from the falling of a tower, by which 32 persons have been killed. A son of General Lamorciere has just died in Paris. As soon as the Emperor beard of his ill ness he at once ordered that passports should be given to the General, and authorisation granted to him to return to France, without any condition whatever. Unfortunately, the boy died before the father had time to avail himself of the permission. The Monitenr of yesterday announced the no mination of M. Dupin to the rank of senator. M. Dupin will probably occupy in the Senate 'the place left vacant by the Marquis do Pastoret, who had been made administrator of the property of the elder branch of the Bourbons, as M. Dupin was of the younger, before he "modified" his opinion and accepted office under the Imperial regime. M. Migeon, whose election as Deputy for the Haut-Rhin has acquired a no' oriety from the pro ceedings instituted against him in the beginning of last mouth has sent in his resignation as member of the Legislative Corps.

THE New RIVER COMPANY.—I have just seen in the Builder for the 12th of September last, an article headed " Hertford," in which it is stated that the New River Company are concentrating the sewers of the town in their new deodorising beds, where all the foul sewage water from the town will be filtered and passed into the trust in a clear state. Can it be possible that the New River Company really intend that the inhabitants of the metropolis shall drink filtered sewage water t If so, the somar this is put a stop to the better. Hanging would be too good for men who would perpetrate such an abomination.— Correspondent of The Builder.

In addition to the usual mails the Canada brought 58 passengers and 10,704/. sterling in specie. The Harrnonsa, from Hamburg, and the Clyde, from Glasgow, had arrived at New York. The Niagara had arrived at Halifax, and the Arid touched at Cape Race, lauding despatches, but th-ir effect upon the New York and Boston markets is known. Tho City of Washington arrived at New York on the 16th inst. Cominmercial affairs at New York were still im proving. The .New York Herald states that the fears previously entertained bad been groundless, and henceforth no fears need be entertained. The New Orleans banks have resumed payment. The Adriatic made her trial up on the 16th, and is stated to be the fastest steamship afloat. The steamship St. Louis had arrived at New York with the Californian mails, .and 1,176,086 dollars in specie. The blockade of the San Juan river was still kept up, and the Nicaraguans and Costa Ricans were busily preparing for war. Havana advices to the 10th inst. announce that preparations were being made for a grand military camp, in which, it was said, the troops destined to aid against Mexico woLld be manoeuvred. 193,000 boxes of sugar were on hand in Havana and at Matanzas. Some of the joint-stock specu lation concerns in Havana had been wound up under executive order. Trade had improved.,'Tho weather was fine, and money scarce.. Mexican advices to Oct. 24th report large ship• ments of specie to Europe. The Minister of Justice in Mexico had issued - 1k decree declaring all ecclesiastical decisions in civil or criminal c .:es void. The money market at New York had improved, and stocks were more buoyant at an advance in prices. In Bank stocks the demand was good, and quotations improving. In foreign exchange a moderate business as doing, at rates rather in favour of buyers, at 107 to 1071. Rates on Paris were very dull. The cotton market was quiet, and prices, in the absence of sales, were nominal. Flour closed generally at an advance of about sc. per barrel ; wheat and corn were in light stock, and prices were firmer, closing at 80c. and 8 tic. for Western mixed. Pork sold at 19 dols. 50c. and 19 dols. 621 e. for mess, and at 17 dols. for prime. In freights the engagements were moderate, and at the current rates of Saturday less buoyant. SPORTING NOTES. THE INTERREGNUM. There is no news from training quarters, and, in fact, as the little boy said, "there's no sport, and so nothing." Even the Derby beftng has been stopped, and as for picking up a scrap of information relative to the horses, that is at present an impossibility. My " promised " gossip must therefore be postponed. The yard at the Corner on Monday last was crowded, for the sale of Mr. Jackson's horses being the attraction which drew together a large and miscellaneous assemblage of sport ing characters. The proceedings, however, scarcely excited so much interest as was expected, and the ma jority of the abimala "put up" will doubtless return to their old quarters. By the way, what a comment the return of the Chester Cup - quotations is upon Lord Derby's proposed resolution to make all bets on Handicaps prior to the publication - of the weights null and void. "To stem. a current's easy looking at it," and to stay speculation with. Jockey-club rules and resolutions, is as possible as Mrs. Partington'e efforts to mop up th• sea with a brdom. The only sporting "fixture" for the current year is a _steeplechase meeting to take place under the manage• meat of Mr, llibburd at Reading in December, The locality is well adapted to cross country purposes, and under Mr, Hibburd's direction there is little doubt of things being conducted on the "square." Some excel lent sport may be anticipated. From a table of statistics just published, Z sae that Blink Bonny's winnings during the past season amount to 10,196'., Leamington won 3,5901. and Fisheiman with three times the work gained for his owner 3,2601. The principal winners in stakes last season were Mr. I'Anson, 10,9541, Messrs. Barber and Saxon 10,5501. Mr. Merry 9,4591., Lord Zetland 9,9611. Mr. T. Parr 9,0181, and Mr. J. Scott 5,9191. Fordham scored 84 winning moments, Bray 82 and Challoner 65. A FRESH MAN. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. EASTERN COUNTIES.

THE WEATHER IN THE CHANNEL AND THE CHANNEL MAILS. The rough weather of last week has occasioned some fatal losses of men and ships in the Channel, and delays in the regular departure and arrival of the mail packets. The wind has not blown furiou.ly, but strong, and when on Thursday it veered to east-north-east, the heavy seas in the Channel and swell on the bars produced the mis chief and delays. Thursday night was the outward India mail night at Dover, and most anxious were the General Pest-office authorities to get the 143 boxes across to Calais in good time. The South-Eastern Railway train arrived at Dover 2 min. before 11 o'clock ; the mail was put on board the Prince Frederick William (the contractor having specially placed her on this ser vice) by the Post-office porters in 40 min., at the west side of the Admiralty-pier ; but by the time the good ship got in Calais-roads the wind had shifted adversely, and there was too little water to enter the har bour, and too much swell for the boats to come out, consequently the Prince could not get in before half-past four, and the mails did not get away until nearly 6 o'clock on Friday morning. The Admiralty engineer, Mr. Walker, was present to witness the embar kation of the mails at the Admiralty.. pier, Dover, at midnight, and on the very next day, by -his orders, such improvements were commenced as will insure greater facility and safety in future to passengers and the public service. When it is considered that the delay of a quarter of an hour very frequently deranges the mail packet services to the extent of shutting the packet out of Calais harbour for many hours and of risking the landing of the mails in small boats from the Roads, the absolute necessity of running from London to Dover by rail in as short a space of time as the express passenger trains occupy, and of giving every pier- and quay facility at Dover for shipping the mails, uoust_be appa rent to everybody. The service is a diEcult one, and requires a great deal of management ; but it would be very much simplified if arrangements were made to arrive at Calais as nearly at one o'clock as possi ble, for the tides always suit at time in ordinary weather for the vessels to enter and to leave the harbour. This is, however, impracticable with strong E.N.E. winds and low water. The same causes that prevented the Indian nails from arriving at Calais at the usual time prevented the regular English mail packet from leaving Calais. The vessel had to remain with the English mails until ,there was sufficient water for her to come out. On Friday night, the wind blowing very strong from the same quarter, the mail for Paris that left Lon don at 8.30 p.m. did not leave Dover until 3 o'clock on Saturday morning, and Calais at 6 a.m. ; and so with respect to the mail from Paris, it did not reach London before noon on Saturday. The English mail packet to Ostend not only got away on Thursday night from Dover, but arrived at Ostend in time to save the mail train thence to Germany ; but the Belgian Government mail packet did not budge from Dover harbour with Friday night's mails from London until past 6 on Saturday morning, and none of the South-Eastern packets crossed the Channel between Dover and Calais on Friday and Saturday. The packets, however, with the day French mails, have run across at the regular times. On Saturday night the English mail packet started at her usual time for Ostend, but the English - mail packet could not enter Calais before 6 o'clock yes terday (Sunday) morning, consequently she did not leave Dover before 4 o'clock ; and the packet with the mail from Paris could not leave Calais before 7 o'clock ; but on arriving at Dover, with 46 passengers, the South Eastern Railway Company pent them to London by special train. The above statement of facts will explain the causes that have produced the irregularity in receipt of correspondence during the last few days. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. An Admiralty order svav received at Chatham on Saturday by Colonel E. A. Parker, Commandant of the Royal Marine Light Infantry, directing large detach ments of officers and men to be held in,;readiness.for em• barkation. The Goliath, 80, which has been some months in dock, at Chatham, for the purpose of being converted into a screw steamer, having completed her repairs, is ordered to be taken out of deck at spring tide this day, when she will be towed to Sheerness for the purpose of being fitted with her machinery of 400 horse-power, after which she will return to Chatham to be made ready for sea. The Renown, 91, screw, Captain Arthur Forbes, is fitting for sea in Sheerness basin with all despatch. Many of the officers and seamen have already - joined this splendid ship, and her masts were towid down from Chatham on Saturday by the Cuckoo. The Racoon, 21, Captain J. A. Paynter, is ordered to be docked at Chatham to bs fitted for sea. A military institute is about being founded at Wool wich, which will provide the private soldier with the many advantages of a club-house on a most moderate scale of admission—nameiy, a single penny per week from each member. The reading-room will be supplied with the daily and weekly journals and magaz . nes, together with a library of interesting and amu,ing books. A detachment of Royal Marines was on Saturday told off for embarkation on board her Majesty's screw steam sloop Lyra, one of the squadron ordered to the West Coast of Africa for the suppression of the blave trade. To insure every available means of efficiency for each ship of the squadron, the Lords of the Admiralty have had their boats fitted with Clifford's gear for instantly lowering without the necessity of checking in any degree the speed of the vessel. Commander Frederick Augustus Masse (1855), now commanding the Ai iel, 9, screw sloop, at Gibraltar, who was promoted in the Crimea for his service in con veying to Admiral Lyons the intelligence of the march of Lord Ragi n after the battle of the Alma, bas been promoted to the rank of captain, on the nomination of Vice-Admiral the Right Hon. Sir Maurice Berkeley, K.C.8., on his resigning hi 4 seat at the Board of Admiralty. Commander Charles Bromley (1856) has been appointed to the command of the Ariel, vacant by the promotion of Commander Mime. Artillery—Lieut. Wm. Booth, to be Captain, vice Captain and Adjutant Boultbee, resigned ; Second Captain Blackburn, appointed ajutant of the 4th bat talion, In the room of Boultbee, resigned ; and Lieut. Lyle, to the Royal Horse Artillery, vice Booth, pro moted. The Australian Steam Company have received infor mation of the arrival in Hobson's Bay on the 20th of August of the Undaunted, after a good run of 75 days from Plymouth. NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.

The show of fine hops has become rather limited, and the demand for them is steady at very full prices. Medium qualities are firm, and other kinds support pre vious rates.

It is known that an improvement will shortly take place in the India mails, but its extent and the means of effecting it are not generally understood. The India mail via Marseilles is now despatched from London on the 10th and 20th of each month (to be changed in January in xt, as already arranged, to the 9th and 25th). The mail travels unbroken as far as Suez, but at Suez it is divided into two portions, which are forwarded by separate steamers—one proceeding to Bombay, the other to Calcutta, touching on its way at Ceylon and Madras. Nearly the whole of the correspondence for Calcutta goes by the latter route, but a few letters (probably duplicates) are occasionally sent vice Bombay, and thence by the inland mail to Calcutta. This second route, how ever, though the shorter of the two, is nearly useless, owing to the comparative slowness of the island post. In fact, the letters reach their destination about the same time, by whichever route they are forwarded. But it is evident that if the Bombay mail, instead of leaving England at the same time as the Calcutta mail, were despatched, say a week earlier, the route via Bom bay would become available for a good and effective mail to Calcutta, reaching that city about the middle of the interval between► the arrival of her own packets. This change is about to be accomplished. A (ter the olose of the present year the Bombay mails will leave London on the 2d and 17th ; while the Calcutta mails will, as already announced, be despatched on the 9th and 25th of each month. The homeward mails from Bombay will also start about a week earlier than at present. To effect this the only additional service required beyond that now given is an additional trip to and fro between Marseilles and Malta twice a month ; there being already, owing to a large increase of traffic, two steamers run for each bi-montbly mail between Malta and Alexandria. Bombay will derive little benefit from this improvement—none, indeed, except some facility for communicating with England by electric telegraph via Madras. But the other two Presidencies will obtain four mails each way per month, instead of two ; though at Madras there will necessarily be some inequality in the intervals of arrivals and departures. --- THE POST-OFFICE AND THE OVERLAND MAIL. The Indian and Australian mails left Paris on Satur day morning at 9.50 a.m., arrived at Boulogne at 3.10 p.m., left Boulogne at 3.50, arrived at Dover at 6.5, left Dover at 6.30, arrived at London-bridge at 8.20, and reached the General Post-office at 8.40. The letters will not be delivered until this (Monday) mornicg. Our East India merchants will suffer considerably by thisdetention, as the receipt of their letters on Saturday evening would have enabled them to send telegraphic replies viz Trieste or Malta to overtake the outward Indian mail which left here on the evening of the 26th instant. Had the new system been in operation of " working off" the mails on board the packets, a delivery of the Lon don letters would have been effected on Saturday even ing. Under the present routine they have slumbered for 36 hours in St. Martin's-le-Grand. This strongly illustrates the necessity which we have before , urged of the Post-office authorities adopting the sane system with the Indian mails as they have done with those from Australia. The heavy part of the Australian mails per Emeu will arrive at Southampton, per Ripon, on the 3d or 4th Dec. The light portion of the Simla's mail will be conveyed to Marseilles per Vanguard, and may be expected to reach London on the 2d Dec. The Tamar, which left Alexandria on the 24th inst., with the specie and heavy mails ex Simla, is due at South ampton on the Gth Dec.-- Daily News*
